Charges dropped in scrotum assault Crown decision ‘is what I wanted’ says Pickering man See PICKERING page 4 BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer PICKERING —A Pickering man whose testicles were ripped out of his scrotum during a domestic al- tercation this summer says he has “no hard feelings” after the Crown dropped an assault charge against his common-law wife Wednesday. Assistant Crown attorney Robert Corbella withdrew the charge of aggravated assault during the court ap- pearance of Donna Crichton, 42, on the basis there was “no reasonable prospect” for a conviction. “There were a number of issues (that resulted in the de- cision). The Crown reviewed the case and we did not think the elements of the offences would be made out (if it went to trial),” Mr. Corbella said in a brief interview. Ms. Crichton was charged Aug. 27 after her common- law husband, Barrington Wynn, had his scrotum torn for 100 stitches. Mr. Wynn all along said his wife’s actions were justified and he wanted the charges to be dropped. The 46-year-old had said he returned to their residence drunk and was “slapping around” his 15-year-old son when Ms. Crichton, his partner of 26 years, grabbed him by the genitals and ripped his scrotum. He was wearing jockey shorts at the time. The father of three, when reached at the couple’s Pickering waterfront plan hits snag Developer may take case to Ontario Municipal Board BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —A local devel- oper may not wait for a study on waterfront lands at the end of Liv- erpool Road before trying to go ahead with a plan for mixed resi- dential and commercial townhous- es in the area. “We are dissatisfied with coun- cil and may be considering other options,” said Gary Peck, water- front resident and representative of Glenbrook Homes, the developer currently applying to build 17 BARRINGTON WYNN ‘Everything is OK.’ BLACK DOG PUB (416) 286-4544 www.blackdogpub.com 180 0 FINE RESTAURANT (416) 281-2180 www.180finedining.com CATERING FOR ALL OCCASIONS home Wednesday afternoon, said he was pleased the charges were withdrawn and added he carries no grudge. “I have no hard feelings against my wife. I’m satisfied. This is what I wanted. I think they did the right thing,” he said. Since the incident the couple has re- mained apart, a term of Ms. Crichton’s bail. Mr. Wynn, who had been staying with a friend until the matter was dealt with in court, said he was looking forward to a re- union. As for his injury, “Everything is OK. It has healed properly,” he said. Ms. Crichton declined to comment fol- lowing the court appearance but her lawyer, Irwin Aisen, said the decision to drop the case was appropriate.

The new committee and change of man- date for the ex- isting one were required as a re- sult of the Province’s Safe Schools Act, passed in June 2000. The act introduced a dis- tinction between limited and full expulsions and gave teachers the power to suspend a stu- dent for one day. Pickering trustees Fran Pereira and Jim McCafferty, and Oshawa Trustee Stan Karwowski volunteered to sit on the expul- sion committee. Whitby trustees Mary Ann Mar- tin and Scott Murdock and Oshawa Trustee Joe Corey will sit on the sus- pension com- mittee. At Trustee Pereira’s sug- gestion, the re- maining board members, Ajax Trustee Janice Oldman and north Durham Trustee Fred Jones, will act as committee al- ternates.

The Durham Catholic District School Board chairman was referring to the Education Ministry’s $6 mil- lion television and print campaign and also addressed a reported confi- dential government document in which Education Minister Janet Ecker allegedly expresses concerns over labour unrest, the sorry state of the province’s schools and sub-par student test results. Trustee Jones said he believes the document exists. “We could have used $6 million more effectively than the government did,” he said at Tuesday’s board meeting, adding the money could have been spent on hiring teachers and buying textbooks and computers. “I think the expenditure is a scandalous waste of taxpayers’ money, money that might not have left the children in the classroom.” The document was reportedly Ms. Ecker’s presentation to the Tory caucus as a new school year began last month. It allegedly states that prob- lems in the education system are taking attention away from the government’s efforts to intro- duce quality education initia- tives and that parents can see for themselves there is a lack of textbooks and other supplies in classrooms. Education ministry spokesman Rob Savage on Wednesday would neither con- firm nor deny the document ex- ists, only saying that what may or may not have been discussed at a caucus meeting is private. He said what is a matter of public record is that the govern- ment believes the focus in edu- cation should be on improved student learning and achieve- ment. Labour instability is a con- cern to the government, said Mr. Savage, and the provincial re- sponse was the Stability and Ex- cellence in Education Act. He noted that among other things, the act requires collective agree- ments between boards and teachers be a minimum of three years in length. Ms. Ecker in a previous inter- view defended spending the money on advertising against charges that it was propaganda. She said the intent was to in- form parents about government initiatives, including teacher testing. “Not one cent of this is com- ing out of the education budget,” said Ms. Ecker. Mr. Savage said roughly $6 million was spent on both televi- sion commercials, which have stopped airing, and a special ed- ucation edition of the govern- ment’s ON magazine delivered to households. “We felt it was an important investment,” he said. “We do continue to invest more in edu- cation and at the same time we feel it is important that parents are informed about the changes taking place in education, and that they have opportunities to provide input to the govern- ment.” Mr. Savage noted those op- portunities exist on the min- istry’s Web site and with a 1-800 number, both highlighted in the television spots. The document also reportedly states the campaign would help the government address an all- time low level of public satisfac- tion with the system and in- crease public confidence. “To most of us around this table this is not news,” Mr. Jones said of the education woes cited. “The government answer to the crisis is to commit to a new communications strategy, which costs $6 million for a new adver- tising campaign.” Install now, pay later with low monthly payments OAC Save up to 40% on your gas bill!

A decision from City council to implement a bylaw allowing the town- homes to be built with main floors designed to accommo- date commercial, retail and office uses was deferred Oct. 1 and taken off the agenda for Tuesday night’s planning committee meeting. Council- lors voted to wait for the completion of the land use study, more than 24 months in the making. Mr. Peck said Glenbrook may apply for a hearing with the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB), an independent tri- bunal that listens to the ap- peals and concerns of parties who object to the decisions of public authorities, before the Nov. 12 planning com- mittee meeting and Nov. 19 council meeting. It is expected the study will be fin- ished then and the bylaw will be ad- dressed again. “The OMB is a real possibility,” he said. “We want the bylaw imple- mented... they had a chance to do that last night (Tuesday) and if the developer chooses to go to the OMB, promises made in the spirit of com- promise will go off the table.” Ward 2 Re- gional Councillor Mark Holland has said building strictly residential property would “strike a blow” to the city’s vision for a nautical vil- lage on the water- front. However, Mr. Peck said the de- veloper’s plan, while stopping short of guaran- teeing commer- cial uses, is a good compromise considering the first phase of the land use study, al- ready completed, claims the area would not sustain any businesses for the next 15 years. He said guar- anteeing commer- cial use in the plan requires in- creased building code standards, including fire- walls and proper exits, which would drive up prices. He said Glenbrook’s proposed plan is the best way to ensure the City’s waterfront vision is not compromised while still making development a com- mercially viable project. “The design is such that it’s aimed at creating com- mercial property,” explained Mr. Peck. “There’s no front lawn, 12-foot sidewalks sim- ilar to the City’s lakefront millennium square, and there’s no backyard. The only other thing you could use the main floor for is an 800-square-foot family room.” Coun. Holland agreed the City and Glenbrook are not “light years apart” in terms of reaching an agreement for development In an interview Wednesday he said the Glen- brook application, with the proper controls, could be a “victory for the vision” of the Pickering waterfront.

This man wants to put millions of people into early graves. He “would like to see world peace in our time,” but first wants to turn two or three countries into nuclear wastelands be- cause, he says, they harbour terrorists. Well, as I write, there are potentially 4,000 terrorists in Canada and who knows how many in the United States? Both our countries are harbouring ter- rorists and the New York City terrorists were trained to fly and lived in the U.S. for a long time. Afghanistan was totally ravaged by bombing by the then Soviets. The U.S. gave Afghanistan aid to fight the Soviets. Finally, bordering Afghanistan is Pakistan. They would lose hundreds of thousands of lives from the fallout of nuclear bombs. This country has nuclear bombs and would retaliate. Then, Mr. Graves, you would have peace in the world because there will be nobody left. People like you have had their way for hundreds of years now, it is time all this killing stopped. Leslie Davies, Ajax Student trip decision ‘gutless’ To the editor: Re: ‘Principals make final decision, but school board discourages overseas trips,’ Oct. 3. The Durham School Board decision to discourage overseas travel is quite simply gutless. This country wasn’t built on the backs of people of this calibre. There are always risks in life, but if we choose to stick our heads in the sand and let it pass us by, then we become nothing but losers. I say we throw these people out on their ears.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com In light of what happened to our world on Sept. 11, with apologies to John Lennon, imagine a world in which: • Spouses do not abuse/kill one another, but seek help with their problems; • Parents do not abuse their chil- dren but cherish and respect them; • Families heal long-standing rifts; • Drivers do not run red lights or exhibit rude behaviour; • Criminals decide their activi- ties are immoral and hurtful and de- cide to stop; • People treat each other with dignity and respect, no matter what their differences; • No one goes hungry, or freezes to death because they have no roof over their head; • Everyone cares for the environ- ment, even in trivial matters — no emptied ash trays in parking lots or gum wrappers strewn on the streets; • Centuries of conflict stop in Canada, Northern Ireland, the Mid- dle East, just to name a few places; and • Terrorists do not need to terror- ize to make their point. Imagine a world where: • There is a mutual sharing of all the world’s resources — land, water, food, fuel; • Everyone has equal opportuni- ty to seek and receive an education; • People and nations care for one another all the time, not just when catastrophes strike; • Children are not burdened with being the next generation to hate and fight wars; • We do not just speak of peace but show our longing for it with our actions; and • My 12-year-old granddaughter will not have to go to bed at night, clutching her teddy bear out of fear. Like John Lennon said: “You may say I’m a dreamer. But (I hope) I’m not the only one.” Join me and the world can live as one Imagine a life with healed rifts and a mutual sharing of resources Jo Sorrill Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com It’s just over a month since the attacks in New York City and the Pentagon and the question on the minds of many Canadians is: how safe are we? Really? That query covers a multitude of perceived threats from terrorist groups: concerns are raised because of an anthrax outbreak in Flori- da that has killed one and infected two others; revelations about ter- rorist cells in our country create fears, irrational or otherwise; and travel by air is still avoided by many. An advisory from the Office of Critical Infrastructure Protection and Emergency Preparedness states: “We have no information indi- cating Canadian interests might be the targets of attacks.”This sooth- ing sentence - the worry comes from the phrase ‘We have no infor- mation’- comes on the same day a Canadian is killed in Kuwait, ap- parently a victim of rage against the attacks on Afghanistan. The feds have committed a $280-million package of security measures designed to make Canadian airports and border points more secure. A tamper-resistant immigrant card is part of the plan, as is an increased police presence in sensitive areas. Here in Durham, the threat of bio-terrorism may be small, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t ready. Associate medical officer of health Dr. Donna Reynolds says because of the location of the Darlington and Pickering nuclear reactors, “we have one of the best local emergency response plans.” The nuclear plants themselves are on high alert and Energy Minister Jim Wilson says our local facilities can be shut down in seconds if need be. Local fire chiefs have made requests for bio-terrorism and urban rescue training. Regular local emergency preparedness plans have never seemed so appropriate - or necessary. Tony Clement, the Ontario Minister of Health, has sent briefing notes on anthrax recognition to provincial health care workers. Ef- forts are being made to step up small pox and anthrax vaccine pro- duction in case of a terrorist-caused epidemic. Politicians seem to find themselves caught between a rock and a hard place at the moment. While trying to assure Canadians the threat of a terrorist attack is remote, they must still do all they can to ensure we are prepared in the event of anything that comes our way. With the U.S. more vigilant than ever against perceived threats, the possibility of terrorists hitting us instead must be taken very serious- ly. Since we are a committed member of the allied military campaign against terrorism, we can expect something to happen here at some point. Recall the very notion of four civilian aircraft being flown on suicide missions before Sept. 11 was not a scenario American intel- ligence was ready for either. This new awakening to the threat that is not half-a-world away, but could be living half-a-block away, is a learning experience for all of us.

A report on the Durham Catholic District School Board’s meeting agen- da from business superintendent David Visser recommended that the board’s reserve for working funds be used to balance the 2000/01 operating fund, if an adjustment is required when the year-end budget review process ends and before the financial statements are submitted to the board’s auditor. “I have a great concern about mov- ing funds where we don’t have a dol- lar limit,” said Trustee Karwowski, adding, “it’s not that I’m against the strategy.” Education director Grant Andrews said the board does not yet know if it will have a surplus or a deficit. The recommended action is “a typical pro- cedure we’ve followed for a number of years,” he said. Trustee Karwowski asked for an es- timate of how much money would be involved. But Mr. Visser said the fi- nancial year ended on Aug. 31, and since then staff has been reviewing more than 6,000 expenditure accounts. “We’re at the end of that process and we’re beginning to review the rev- enue (accounts),” he said, adding it will be up to a month before the re- view is completed. Trustee Karwowski suggested a de- ferral until mid-November. “What we’re talking about is ensur- ing we have a balanced budget when we’re finished,” said Mr. Andrews, asking, “what’s the alternative?” Trustee Karwowski motioned to table the item until hard numbers, and the reasoning behind them, are avail- able. But he did not have a seconder and the motion was lost. Trustees, with the exception of Trustee Karwowski, then approved the staff recommendation. DURHAM —Durham’s long- term care facilities have received a $2- million shot in the arm from the provincial government. The funds will be split between 14 facilities in Durham to provide im- provements in nursing, personal care, program and support services, food supplies and accommodations. Older facilities can use the money to im- prove buildings while newer facilities can make improvements in areas such as staffing levels. “Seniors and their families need to know that reliable long-term care is available to them in their community,” said Durham MPP John O’Toole. “The challenge we face is a grow- ing and aging population,” said Whit- by-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty. “As a re- sult, our health system will have to be prepared to accommodate an increas- ing number of seniors requiring care.” Facilities receiving funding are: Extendicare Oshawa, $162,881; Com- munity Lifecare Port Perry, $72,818; Fairview Lodge $189,347; Hillsdale Manor $412,815; Lakeview Manor $133,787; Versa- Care Uxbridge, $95,995; Sunnycrest Nursing Home $130,553; Thornton View $99,835; Ballycliffe Lodge $97,090; Marnwood Life Care Centre, Bowmanville $57,597; Strathaven, Bow- manville $193,936; Foster- brooke, Newcastle $83,512; Lafontaine Lodge, Picker- ing $166,549; and Bon-Air Nursing Home $54,202. 905-571-2070 1-800-465-6071 905-571-2070 1-800-465-6071 Celebrating 33 years of Continuous Service in Durham Region Gerald & Debra Cormier Congratulations to Cormier Heating from How To Install Solderless Plumbing Saturday October 13th 10 A.M. - 1 P.M.

With a temporary ban on the ap- proval of international school trips al- ready in place, the Durham Catholic District School Board announced it is going a step further. “We are also going to put a morato- rium on any other trips involving air travel, international or national,” Grant Andrews, education director of the Durham Catholic District School Board, said at Tuesday’s board meeting. “We realize it dashes the hopes of the students and teachers... but we have to be concerned about the safety, indeed the lives of the students for which we are responsible.” Mr. Andrews was responding to a question from Pickering Trustee Fran Pereira, who said some school commu- nity councils have asked her if SCCs had been consulted on the issue. “The answer is ‘no’,” replied Mr. Andrews, adding it was a board-level decision supported by all staff. The board released a report showing six of the board’s seven high schools had planned a total of 15 trips overseas trips in the coming months, involving 195 students and 31 teachers. More than one-third of those students attend St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pickering. In an interview, principal Mike Bak said the feeling among parents and stu- dents was “somewhat mixed. “There was a lot of concern and I think most people were taking the wait- and-see approach to (the world situa- tion),” he said. “But now with the situa- tion escalating I think there’s even more concern.” Mr. Bak said while trips are “excellent learning experiences” for stu- dents, they understand the reasoning be- hind the decision, though some are more disappointed than others. Trustee Pereira said one parent’s view was that cancelling school trips amounted to “giving in to the terrorists”. Oshawa Trustee Stan Karwowski wondered if any students or parents would lose trip deposits. Mr. Andrews said he understands in most cases de- posits have not been made, but “some parents of students have made deposits and will lose them”. He noted parents had signed a waiver form indicating they could lose the deposit. Student representative David Byrne asked if parents and students had a chance to sign a waiver indicating they “realize the risk” but want to travel any- way. But chairman and north Durham Trustee Fred Jones said the board is sticking by the decision.. “Safety is the key issue, it’s the primary issue,” he said. “I just think at this time, in this condition, and with the U.S. having launched air strikes on the other side... it is the prudent thing for this board to do at this time.” The board might reconsider the deci- sion if, at a future time, a large number of students and parents press for trips to go ahead, said Trustee Jones.

A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 12, 2001 BY TIM FORAN Staff Writer DURHAM ––For gay man Jason Allman, high school was pretty much the way it is for most kids. Homework. Sports. Parties. But that isn’t how high school always is for gay students. And often in Durham secondary schools that adds up to almost five years of stress and strife. “I was pretty popular,” admits the good-looking Mr. Allman, a 19-year-old graduate of Exeter High School in Ajax. “I was smart, got good grades. It’s easier (to be gay) if you’re popular. If not, you get beat up.” Though Mr. Allman got through high school relatively unscathed, he says his situation was not typi- cal of the usual life of a gay or les- bian teenager. Because of that, Mr. Allman and others recently started up a support and social group for gay and lesbian youth in Durham Region. Interlinks Youth Group, based out of a gay club in south Oshawa, offers a support phone number and a meeting place for gays under 25. It is the only gay youth support group in Durham Region, says Mr. Allman, the president of Interlinks. “There is nothing (else),” says Mr. Allman, noting that dearth of support services extends to the so- cial arena as well. He points out there is only one gay club in Durham now that Divas in Whitby has closed down, and social orga- nizations Proud and Out Durham and the Durham Youth Triangle have shut down in recent years. For kids under the age of majority, there are also no organized dances or coffee shops where gays or les- bians can find a sense of commu- nity, Mr. Allman adds. Since starting to meet at Club 717 in Oshawa before the summer, Mr. Allman says Interlinks now has about eight regular members. Although the members are “out” to each other, Mr. Allman says a few will not acknowledge they are homosexual to either friends or family. “There’s a teenage girl at an Os- hawa high school,” Mr. Allman says. “She can’t come out because all her friends kind of hate gay people. “And one friend got thrown out of his house because he was gay,” Mr. Allman adds. “His dad got him his own apartment and paid for it, just so he doesn’t have to see him. Mr. Allman says gay youth often come out after high school because it is “easier.” “At college and university, you don’t have immature kids who think they’re going to be cool by making fun of other people,” Mr. Allman says. He links this accep- tance to the fact post-secondary students have a higher level of ed- ucation. If people were educated more, “then they wouldn’t make stupid comments like, ‘Every gay person has AIDS or every gay person is a child molester,” says Mr. Allman. He believes education about gay realities should start at Grade 3, noting he came to realize he was gay by Grade 4 although he says he didn’t understand the social im- pact of that reality until Grade 8. The Durham District School Board does not think Mr. Allman’s hope will likely come to fruition any time soon. The Elementary Teachers Fed- eration of Ontario (ETFO) voted overwhelmingly in August to ask school boards to provide funding for schools who request learning materials that “reflect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender realities.” But Durham school board superin- tendent Bev Freedman said ap- proving that request would have to be made by the trustees. Given the history of family life issues at the board table, Ms. Freedman can’t see trustees approving funding for such learning materials. At the time of ETFO’s decision, Ajax wards 1 and 2 Trustee Mari- lyn Crawford wondered if the ab- sence of gay and lesbian learning materials is even relevant to Durham residents. “I could see in Toronto it being being a big issue, because they have...a bigger gay and lesbian population,” Trustee Crawford ex- plained. Even Bill Butcher, the president of the Durham chapter of ETFO, said he did not plan to ask the school board to fund such materi- als for classroom instruction. “You get into the large centres and this is an issue that is topical and current for them, not for us,” Mr. Butcher explained. A former Whitby trustee dis- agrees with Ms. Crawford and Mr. Butcher. “It’s only a big city issue be- cause people in smaller cities like to ignore it,” says Tanya Gulliver, a trustee for the Durham Board of Education from 1991 to 1994. Ms. Gulliver came out of the closet publicly in 1993 while a trustee, a decision she says may have cost her in the next election. She says her 1994 election cam- paign was marred by “family val- ues” groups and candidates who consistently questioned her values. Though she received more votes than she did in 1991, Ms. Gulliver finished third as the runner-up. For three years following that, Ms. Gulliver ran a gay and lesbian youth group in Durham in an effort to help suffering students. “I saw a lot of youth who were harassed, who had to quit schools or change schools,” Ms. Gulliver says. She says the school board was not entirely helpful or under- standing. She recalls some “out” kids were not allowed to do indepen- dent study units on gay literature in English class. “You can study black literature but you can’t study gay literature,” Ms. Gulliver says. “These people thought they were being denied their history, their culture.” A lot of high schools did not even want a gay youth group to put up posters advertising a hotline phone number for gay, lesbian or questioning kids to call for help, she adds. She finds that decision irresponsible in light of the alarm- ing number of cases of depression afflicting homosexual youth. Toronto’s Gay, Lesbian, Bisex- ual Youth Line cites a University of Calgary study suggesting homo- sexual youth are 14 times more likely to attempt suicide than other adolescents. Three times as many gay youth will successfully kill themselves, adds Jude Tate, a co- ordinator of Lesbian and Gay re- sources and programs at the Uni- versity of Toronto. Ms. Tate says gay youth also experience higher rates of depres- sion, use drugs and alcohol as cop- ing mechanisms and feel a sense of isolation and lack of connection to any kind of community. Ms. Tate says the Social Ser- vices of Toronto estimates 30-40 per cent of youth living on the street are identified as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered or “ques- tioning.” “Many say they don’t have communities in areas like Uxbridge,” Ms. Tate says, adding the media’s portrayal of gays and lesbians in smaller communities like Durham is often limited to showy events like Toronto’s gay pride parade. Ms. Tate says that type of sen- sational media attention overlooks recent studies revealing eight to 15 per cent of people identify as ho- mosexual. It’s that fact that Ms. Gulliver wants kids to be made aware of. “You don’t need to teach some- body how to have sex in a certain position...but you need to talk about the social and cultural impli- cations of gay and lesbian life and why homophobia is wrong,” she explains. Phyllis Benedict, president of the ETFO, agrees with Ms. Gulliv- er. “In dealing with issues of racism or sexism or homophobia, obviously it’s better if you can deal with these issues before they are set as a value system with kids,” Ms. Benedict says. She adds teachers need to also be given direction on how to re- spond to gay and lesbian kids. Ms. Benedict, a former teacher in the Kawartha-Pineridge School Board, says she once had a female student who “wanted to be a boy.” “She would leave me notes say- ing, ‘I don’t know why God made me this way. I might as well kill myself.’ I didn’t know profession- ally how to respond to that child, and where did my role end as teacher and where did the parents (pick up that role),” Ms. Benedict says. “The parents in this case had turned the child off and said, ‘She’ll grow out of it.’And this kid was serious about suicide even at age 11.” However, Brock-Uxbridge trustee Nancy Loraine believes Durham’s school board should not limit its focus to teaching tolerance of merely gays and lesbians. “The larger problem is how do we deal with each other as human beings,” she explains. “You don’t want an issue-spe- cific way to approaching materi- als.” Ms. Loraine points out the school board already has in place programs such as STAR (Students Targeting Against Racism) and VIP (Values, Influence, Peers) that address issues of intolerance. But Ms. Gulliver responds that it is not enough for schools to have an anti-harassment policy merely preventing abuse of homosexuals. “They don’t teach it’s OK,” she explains.

Cancer centre remains top priority Review of Lakeridge finances won’t delay regional facility BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —The Province is promising Durham’s regional cancer centre will not be delayed due to a re- view of the finances and redevelopment plans of Lakeridge Health Corporation. “The completion of the cancer centre continues to be a priority for 2003,” said Ministry of Health spokesman John Letherby, Thursday. The centre is slated to open in September 2003. Durham MPP John O’Toole said there are concerns delays with construc- tion of Lakeridge’s Oshawa site redevel- opment project were jeopardizing the timely opening of the cancer centre to be built adjacent to Lakeridge Health Os- hawa. The corporation also has sites in Whitby, Bowmanville, Port Perry and Uxbridge. Cancer Care Ontario (CCO), an arm’s-length government agency that has built and operates other centres with- in the province, will be taking the lead on the construction of the centre, con- firmed Lakeridge chief executive officer Brian Lemon. As well, he said, CCO will be doing the same at facilities under way in Peel Region and London. “We support any measures that help get the cancer centre built on time. We were neither unsettled nor felt bad about it,” said Mr. Lemon who added the pro- ject will still have input from Lakeridge Health Corporation and the hospital will continue raising funds. The hospital will partner with CCO in the operation of the centre, Mr. Lemon said. In the meantime, the ministry review of the corporation’s finances continues, confirmed Mr. Lemon. The hospital is facing a potential $7-million deficit this year in its $220-million operating bud- get. The original deficit was $19 million — $13 million due to inflation and $6 million for additional patient services — reported Mr. Lemon. He said the Province agreed to increase its initial contribution for the 2001/2002 budget by $8.5 million and staff found an addi- tional $3.5 million in efficiencies, leav- ing a $7-million shortfall. Oshawa MPP Jerry Ouellette suggested escalating costs on the redevelopment project prompted the ministry’s review. The price tag has risen from the orig- inal estimate in 1997 of $176 million to $220 million, according to the corpora- tion’s chief financial officer John Callam, who cited a “variety of rea- sons”, including escalating building costs in the past four years. “We have to ask ourselves: why are we doing this review?” said Mr. Ouel- lette. “I don’t know why else we’d do a review unless there was a concern.” But Mr. Lemon said he has received no indication there is a concern on the ministry’s part. He was given three rea- sons for the review: to determine whether the hospital corporation should receive further funding to cover its $7- million shortfall; to ensure the redevel- opment plans are proceeding on the most effective course; and to consider the Lakeridge Health proposal to keep the Whitby site open for some services instead of adding them to the Oshawa site. the way to save. guaranteed. you can get there. to buy direct visit www.csb.gc.ca or call 1. 888.773. 9999 The Minister of Finance may end the sale of bonds at any time.

The Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs made the de- mand in a letter to both governments asking funds be reallocated so the appro- priate ministries can pre- pare firefighters for inci- dents of biological terrorist attacks and urban rescue techniques. Oshawa Fire Chief Milt Wilson, who is provincial president of the group, ex- plained Ontario’s fire chiefs have long advocated this type of training. However, the recent terrorist attacks on the United States have brought the issue to the forefront. “It’s like anything, as soon as we do have an oc- currence it gets back on the front burner and there’s a more serious demand,” he said. Although the U.S. feder- al government supports fire services to the tune of $300 million annually, with the possibility of an increase to $600 million in 2001, no federal funding for fire ser- vices exists in Canada. “When terrorist attacks occur political jurisdictions disappear and all levels of government become in- volved,” Chief Wilson said. “Those same levels of gov- ernment must also be in- volved in providing the training required to ensure firefighters can function safely in these situations.” He explained funding for additional training is es- pecially important for fire- fighters because, “it’s usu- ally us that get the job of going in and cleaning up and dealing with the after- math so we need that train- ing as well. Ajax Fire Chief Randy Wilson noted bio-terrorism is “new to us. “Firefighters are kind of funny. We’re running into the building while everyone is running out.” Bio-terrorism is “brand new. We don’t know that stuff. That’s why we need the funding.” Pickering Fire Chief Bill Douglas agreed the call for financing is the right one. “Right now we don’t train our people to fight ter- rorism and what happened in New York shows us any- thing can happen any- where,” he said. “I’m sup- portive of the concept.” Chief Randy Wilson added training should be co-ordinated across the re- gion. “We don’t do any of that kind of training and I think we should. We do emer- gency preparedness train- ing. But building collapse, we don’t get into that kind of specialty. “We don’t do any of this kind of training and I think we should be. Because this is Ajax doesn’t mean we can’t be affected by the fall- out” of an attack. Fire chiefs in Whitby and Clarington also sup- ported the association’s move. “If we could get some federal and provincial fund- ing to help in providing our staff with the awareness training in the event we’re faced with this, it would be great,” said Kent McCarl of Whitby.

Thirty-four per cent of Durham adults took on the bug last year by re- ceiving the flu shot, made available to all Ontario residents for the first time at no cost. That was a big jump from the nine per cent who received the vaccination a year earlier. And with those kind of results, the Ontario Ministry of Health is investing $44 million this year into the immuniza- tion program, and Durham Region Health Department officials are hop- ing 65 per cent of Durham residents will take the Province up on its offer. “We saw no outbreaks of influenza last year in our acute care hospitals and our long-term care facilities,” noted Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham Region’s associate medical officer of health. “Some of that is due to it being a lighter-than-usual season in influenza across Canada, but there is some evidence Ontario fared even better than the other provinces; possi- bly due to the universal campaign.” She noted this year the Region is looking to expand where the shot will be offered, suggesting that could in- clude libraries, grocery stores and hopefully at workplaces throughout Durham. “We’re hoping again Durham Re- gion residents will roll up your sleeves to receive the flu shot,” she said. “The importance for the flu shot is both to protect yourself, but also the ones you love.” Dr. Reynolds noted influenza can be a killer to the elderly and those with chronic medical conditions. “Influenza often starts circulating in the young child population and the children will bring it home to their parents and the parents and the chil- dren may then visit their grandpar- ents in a long-term care facility,” she said. “So we know the cycle of in- fluenza in our community and if we can try to break that cycle we can save lives.” The shot is 70 to 90-per cent ef- fective in preventing the flu, but even in the 10 to 30 per cent of people who catch it, the symptoms won’t be as severe, making it less contagious. “The Canadian economy takes about a half-billion-dollar hit each year with people being off work,” noted John Letherby, spokesman for the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. “That pretty well repre- sents one in four working Canadians who are expected to probably be down with some degree of the flu virus each and every winter.” He added freeing up emergency rooms and services during flu season will help those with more serious conditions get help sooner. Upcoming flu shot clinics are planned for the Ajax Recreation Cen- tre, 75 Centennial Rd. on Oct. 17 and 24 from 2 to 8 p.m. and the McLean Community Centre, 95 McGill Dr. on Oct. 30 and Nov. 6 from 2 to 8 p.m. In Pickering, there are clinics Oct. 16, 30 and Nov. 14 in the Pickering Recreation Complex’s O’Brien room, 1867 Valley Farm Rd. from 1 to 8 p.m., at Pineridge Sec- ondary School, 2155 Liverpool Rd. on Oct. 22 from 2:15 to 8 p.m., at St. Mary’s Catholic Secondary School, 1918 Whites Rd. on Oct. 25 from 3 to 8 p.m. and at the Pickering Town Centre, 1355 Kingston Rd. on Oct. 25 from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. For more information on flu clin- ics, visit a Durham Region Web site at www.region.durham.on.ca or call the health department at 1-800-841- 2729 for clinic locations across the region.

He noted OIT and Durham College will share space, a pres- ident and a board of governors, and OIT will not have a faculty body ensuring program quality or a student senate like other universities. While OIT will likely provide “excellent training” for students who will go on to obtain good jobs, Mr. Rudyk still asked, why attach the university label to it? “It’s fine to have job training, but we have 25 very good com- munity colleges in the province,” he said. However, in an interview Fri- day, Gary Polonsky, Durham College and OIT president, dis- puted the claims. “We have very good answers to his very good questions,” he said, noting OIT will have a fac- ulty of arts and sciences. “Every one of our students will take and elect from a broad menu of holistic courses which will help to blend with market- driven courses,” he said. “We want to produce fully-rounded human beings.” Mr. Polonsky said OIT “will have an academic council and it will be meaningfully consulted on a broad array of academic measures,” adding “meaningful student consultations” will also take place. He suggested critics “with- hold their judgment” on OIT at least until they see the final copy of the act confirming the legal existence of the university, to be submitted to the Province.

The group represents some 120,000 university students across Ontario. Mr. Rudyk said universities pro- vide a well-rounded education where an engineering student, for example, can also take arts courses. That won’t be happening at OIT, he said, because the career-oriented curriculum won’t offer those choices Recycle!Say you saw it in the News Advertiser!

Glen Street principal Jim Nesbitt welcomed the news his school was selected and said he is “excited about the possibili- ties. “It’s going to provide min- istry experts and significant dol- lars to help with early literacy,” he said. Mr. Nesbitt knew Glen Street was one of the schools being considered because he assem- bled a package of information on the school, “on short notice”, that was sent to the ministry late Friday afternoon. The package included action plans stemming from Grade 3 EQAO test results of the last three years. He noted Glen Street staff is two-thirds of the way through implementing animated literacy as an early reading strategy. “Certainly, there may be some programs that come to our attention from the ministry ex- perts,” said Mr. Nesbitt. “We might look at delivering social studies and science through guided reading textbooks.” He said in that way students would work on their reading skills while learning the subject matter. Mr. Nesbitt said that might be an area where the min- istry funding could help the school, since purchasing such textbooks would “cripple” a school budget. Mr. Nesbitt said he already has some people in mind to join him on the school improvement team. The ministry release states more schools will be identified for extra support in the next two years. Ms. Ecker announced in June that school improvement teams of specialists would be part of a $24-million provincial commit- ment to the ‘Ontario early read- ing strategy’ to improve the reading skills of junior kinder- garten to Grade 3 students. South Oshawa school will take part in three-year literacy improvement plan BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer OSHAWA —Glen Street Public School is among 16 elementary schools that will share $5 million in provincial funding to improve litera- cy skills, Education Minister Janet Ecker announced Tuesday. A provincial committee selected the schools from across Ontario, where two-thirds or more of Grade 3 students failed to meet the provincial standard on the Education Quality and Accountability Office’s (EQAO) reading test between 1998 and 2000. Each school will develop a school improvement team, to include the principal, teachers, a school council member and a community represen- tative, to help improve reading in the primary grades as part of a three-year improvement plan. “In addition to setting annual tar- gets for improvement, each school- Select group of Durham students get reading boost P PAGE 24 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 12, 2001 GM to help victims of terror DURHAM —General Motors of Canada employees, the Canadian Auto Workers and the GM Founda- tion are all contributing to disaster relief in the wake of the Sept. 11 ter- rorist attacks in the United States. The three groups are joining ef- forts to send more than $200,000 to the American Red Cross. Almost $100,000 was raised through donations from employees and was matched by the foundation. An additional $7,000 was raised at the Windsor transmission plant, ear- marked to help families of Canadians who died in the at- tacks. “I cannot begin to express my gratitude to all those who supported the appeal,” said Maureen Kempston Darkes, GM of Canada presi- dent and gener- al manager. “In the im- mediate aftermath it was extremely difficult to focus on anything but this shocking occurrence and it is most heartening to see such generosity from all those who responded to the challenge.” Buzz Hargrove, CAW president, said “So many working men and women as well as other parts of so- ciety have donated and provided help to those who have suffered so much because of the terrorists’ at- tack.” MAUREEN KEMPSTON- DARKES ‘Heartening to see such generosity.’ SALON THE 1822 WHITES RD.

Tuesday, October 2nd was our sixth year in Pickering. I am writing this article from my home office. My desk is located in front of three big windows looking out over our street. I can see the trees lining our street and the leaves changing colour and covering the lawns. This is such a beautiful time of year and certainly with the events in New York a time of reflection as well. Can these terrorists really dictate our way of life? Fortunately even in times of restraint or recession people will always have money for fast food so I’m not complaining believe me. We have just opened a second store and our sales in both stores are still strong, even now, and I thank God for that. But what about the economy? Should we be afraid of flying because of these events? Should we stop spending, sell off our investments, bring the economy to a grinding halt and give in to the fear that is pervading the world? I think not. I heard of an owner of a company with about 200 employees who called them all in and gave them 100.00 each and said go spend it. That’s what we need to do. We need to pump money into the economy. Sherry and I have just put a deposit down on a vacation and we will be flying to our destination. One of our customers in the travel business said there are some great bargains to be had. This is the time to be thinking that way. Don’t give up! Step up! The government is doing it’s part for the economy by lowering interest rates and taxes. That is a great benefit to businesses like ours. That’s what we need… everybody working together. We need to spend money at Christmas and support all businesses where ever they are. That includes Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Burger King, Lick’s, Harvey’s and all the others. No Canadians should lose their job because of this. Not on our soil. Not in Canada! In the next 12 weeks we are going to do our part. Starting Friday, October 5 I will keep a promise I made earlier and run our 16 cent blizzard sale again for one week from October 5th to Friday, October 19th. There will be one change. When you purchase any 16 oz. blizzard at the regular price you will get another 16 oz blizzard for only 6 cents to celebrate 6 years in Pickering. Watch for more specials in the weeks to come. Next week a family of four will get a real deal. Tell your friends! Thank you Pickering for supporting both our stores. We are proud to have lived right here in Pickering Village for the last 10 years. We are proud to be Canadians. We won’t be intimidated! This is a repeat of last week’s article for those of you who were away. Check the new date for our sale. NORTHEAST QUADRANT REVIEW PUBLIC MEETING In June 2001, the City of Pickering with the consulting assistance of TSH Associates and Schollen & Company Inc. initiated a review of the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines in the Pickering Official Plan. The review affects an area of land generally bound by Kingston Road, Whites Road, and Sheppard Avenue and is shown on the map below. The purpose of the review is to recommend changes to the Development Guidelines, which will assist in achieving a cohesive identify for the area, to guide development on private property, and to provide Pickering with a framework for reviewing development applications. As part of the review, the feasibility of piping a tributary of Amberlea Creek as well as the consolidation of access points along Kingston Road and an internal road scheme to service the interior of the quadrant are being examined. City Staff would like to present information on the major components of the review, namely transportation, environmental/ stormwater, and draft development guidelines.

Directed by Barry Levinson. Suave, irresistible Joe (Willis) and his hypochondriac partner Terry (Thornton) have escaped from prison. In order to finance their scheme for a new and somewhat legitimate life south of the border, the two go on a bank-robbing spree from Oregon to California. Behind them they leave a trail of terri- fied bankers, bad wigs and an adoring public. Unfortunately, things get more complicated when they meet Kate Wheeler (Blanchett), an ordinary housewife sick of her boring life, when she runs into Terry with her car. Kate joins the bandits on their cross- country spree, eventually steal- ing their hearts. (Cineplex-Odeon Ajax 10 Cinemas, Famous Players Pickering 8 Cinemas - Picker- ing Town Centre).

Hilarity ensues when he is enlisted by his crime boss father (Falk) and brothers (Berg, Penn) to infiltrate the FBI as Agent Pissant and re- trieve any evidence that it has against them. Corky’s bum- blings actually result in solving cases, however, gaining him the respect of the FBI agents (Shaw, Roundtree).

Whiskey River has been playing every other Saturday at the Flying Squirrel, but when it first began, didn’t even have a name, or even the intention of taking the stage. “Myself and one of the other guys work at the Re- gion of Durham,” said drum- mer Morrie Patchen. “The other guy heard I played drums and asked me if I’d like to get together and jam.” That other guy was John Moller, Whiskey River’s gui- tarist who had never played in a band before. The two workers rounded up a few other guys and after they had been playing together for a while, thought it would be fun to play part-time. “The guy that owns The Squirrel, the first or second night we played there, he had a contest called ‘Name the Band’ and that (Whiskey River) was a combination of a couple of ones that was put in,” said Patchen. That was the handle our players liked best. “Our guitar player’s name is Moller, so somebody put in Johnny Molar and the Cavi- ties - a lot of fun things like that,” added Patchen. Whiskey River aims to please its audience by offer- ing a variety of styles and sounds and even has learned a few new tunes around the holidays to add some addi- tional cheer. “We try to do music that everyone would recognize and relate to and enjoy,” he said. “Some clubs in Durham are specifically blues and that usually only applies to the people who like blues; we try to do a bit of everything so everyone’s musical taste will be satisfied. Patchen, 46, has been playing drums for 32 years and was even a professional musician in the 1970s, travel- ling the road with show bands from the era. The group of five is made up of Patchen on drums, Moller on guitar, Joe Gallello on keyboard, Sebastian Lu- ciano on guitars and vocals and David Magid on bass. For those yet to have ex- perienced Whiskey River, they can catch the band on stage at The Flying Squirrel in Oshawa on Saturday, Oct. 13 at 9:30 p.m. until close. Anyone asking Whiskey River to play at a private function such as a banquet, can called Moller at 905-725- 3578, Gallello at 905-720- 1626 or Patchen at 905-668- 2012. A/P PAGE 26 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 12, 2001 Whiskey River lets the spirit flow DURHAM ––Experi- ence Hot Club jazz this month at the Greenbank Music Hall. The Club Django Sextet of Toronto gets set to swing Saturday, Oct. 20 at 8 p.m. as part of the Greenbank Folk Music Society fall concert series. Hot Club jazz was born in 1932 Paris after a few en- thusiasts and entrepreneurs founded the ‘Hot Club de France’ to promote the de- velopment of innovative jazz as a musical genre. In 1995, the Tranzac Club, a non-profit Aus- tralian/New Zealand social club opened in downtown Toronto, offering free re- hearsal space to like-mind- ed musicians playing Hot Club music. Billboard- sized charts were made up and as many as 20 musi- cians at a time would follow along taking solos in round- robin sequence. In time, a nucleus of strong and dedicated per- formers decided it would be worthwhile to perform in public and so The Club Django Sextet of Toronto was born. The sextet is made up of lead guitarist Johnny Farrell, rhythm gui- tarist Tony Oldland, violin- ist Jonathan Marks, Fabrice Sicco on accordion, Abbey Sholzberg on bass, and ‘Papy’ Andre Seguinot on rhythm guitar. Tickets are $16 and are available in Port Perry at Jayson Callan Music, 174 Mary St.; and in Uxbridge, at Blue Heron Books, 8 Brock St. W.

It was Thanksgiv- ing weekend 1985, when, as fate would have it, Donna and Paul were seated next to each other on Via Rail Canada’s Mon- treal to Toronto route. They were univer- sity students heading home for the holi- days. “It was just like in the movies. We talked and laughed all the way to Toron- to. It was a wonderful time,” said Scar- borough’s Paul McBride, who met wife Donna on a trip to Toronto while both studied at Montreal’s McGill University. “The train ride is so romantic. For four hours, it’s just the two of us. There aren’t any distractions. You can really get to know someone,” added Mrs. McBride. Now all these years later, the couple decided to rekindle their romance on an- other blissful train ride. To mark their special rail encounter, the McBrides cel- ebrated their anniversary on Via’s ‘ro- mance by rail’land cruise. It’s a romantic journey for two in a specially designed private suite on the sleeping car of one of Via’s gleaming sil- ver trains. The romance begins in luxuri- ous comfort as fresh-cut flowers and a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine greets you upon your arrival. Your pri- vate cocoon, which includes a duvet, “his” and “hers” washrooms and a cosy double bed, is just a few tango steps away from the on-car shower facilities. Couples can join other passengers for a superb meal or have it served to them in their suite. Your evening can consist of taking in the spectacular 360-degree panoramic views from the domed obser- vation car. Pause for refreshments in the bullet lounge of the park car and then nestle in to your own special retreat to enjoy a private moment for two. “This land cruise is an experience un- like any other,” said Pamela Rice. “The ever-changing landscape, the warm, friendly atmosphere and the privileged attention make this a memorable experi- ence for all our romance by rail trav- ellers.” Ms. Rice said the package is very popular with newlyweds, especially the Japanese honeymoon market. “The image of romance on the train is deep in our psyche,” Rice said. “Train travel evokes romantic images and feel- ings that have been showcased for years in films, books and on television.” For the McBrides, it’s the perfect trip to celebrate a romance born on the rails. “We’re looking forward to this spe- cial trip down memory lane. But this time, we’re doing it in style and com- fort,” Donna said before the trip. Romance by rail is available year- round aboard the ‘Enterprise’, the overnight train between Toronto and Montreal, the ‘Ocean’ between Montre- al and Halifax, the ‘Chaleur’ between Montreal and Gaspé and on the leg- endary ‘Canadian’ between Vancouver, Jasper and Toronto from Nov. 1 to April 30.

Tips to look your best, even when travelling Personal care products can serve other purposes in a pinch Visiting a warm exotic locale? Need advice on how to keep that new cut and colour in great condition while away? Professionals can help with advice on how to make travelling and hair care a little easier. • Items like shampoo and styling products can open under airplane pressure so pack them in separate plas- tic bags; • Get extra mileage out of shampoo by using it as a body wash and as a deter- gent to rinse out undergar- ments; • Hairspray can be used for more than just holding hair in place. In a pinch, use hairspray to stop a run in pantyhose; • Satin pillowcases allow the hair to slide across the pillow gently as you move in your sleep, whereas cot- ton causes friction and dis- rupts the hair; • Look for products with sun protection to prolong the life of hair colour; • If you are in a locale with hard water, try using bottled water as a rinse after a shampoo; • For dry skin, massage a small amount of creamy hair conditioner into the skin instead; and • Gloss creams makes an excellent shine for hair and shoes. Add a dab to shoes, then work in for an instant shoeshine. –– News Canada 905-426-6242 OPEN Mon. - Fri. 9 A.M. - 9 P.M. Sat. 9 A.M. - 6 P.M.

In that game, the Pick- ering juniors were beaten for four goals to open the contest, a hole they were unable to climb out of. In the Raiders, the fourth-place Panthers (4-5-1- 1 for 10 points) will meet the South Confer- ence’s third- place squad thanks to a record of 6-2-1-0 for 13 points. Tonight’s game will be the second meeting between the two. The first resulted in an 8-7 overtime loss for the Panthers Sept. 16. It will also mark the re- turn to Pickering of Ajax res- ident Matt Christie who was the leading scorer in his rookie campaign with the Panthers last year before joining the Raiders in the off- season. Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER OCTOBER 12, 2001 Lightning overcomes ‘jitters’ for winning debut Katie Quinn caps run of three unanswered goals in 3-2 victory BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor DURHAM —The Telus Lightning struck for its first win of the National Women’s Hockey League season at the team’s home opener Tuesday. The Lightning (formerly the Clearnet Lightning) opened their third season of play by taming the Missis- sauga Ice Bears by a 3-2 count at the Ajax Community Centre. Telus fell behind 2-0 in the first period after being out- shot 14-10. The Lightning had their chances but couldn’t capitalize. Conversely, the Ice Bears took advantage of two mistakes in Telus’s de- fensive zone. Telus head coach Don Henwood said his club was overcome by nerves in the early going. “We came out a little slow. The girls were a bit in- timidated. But, after we got the first-period jitters under control we came out in the second and third periods to play a solid hockey game,” explained Henwood, adding the victory was a “total team effort”. In the second period, Telus began its comeback. Sarah Reid, assisted by defenceman Trina Hulshaf, scored early to shift the momentum. At the 14:44 mark, Tina Evers, an import from the German national team, tied the score with the assist to another defenceman, Carrie Handley. Shots in the middle frame were 10-9 in favour of the Telus Light- ning. Katie Quinn delivered the winning goal with 2:41 re- maining in the third, scoring from the high slot on assists by Melissa Harris and Melissa Taylor. Telus outshot the Ice Bears 34-29. The game also served as a fund-raiser for the World Trade Center’s Relief Fund. The Lightning finished its exhibition season with a 1-1 draw against the Brampton Thunder last Friday. Andrea Kretz scored a second-period marker to lift Telus to the tie. Jenn Piitz and Sarah Couch split the net- minding duties and provided steady work. It was the lone pre-season point for the Lightning against four losses (two to Mississauga, one to Brampton, one to the Beatrice Aeros). The Lightning travel to Toronto to play the Aeros Oct. 15 at the Beatrice Ice Gardens, followed by a trip to Brampton Oct. 20. Henwood’s hoping the victory over Mississauga will give his charges an edge in their first regular-season meet- ing against the powerhouse Aeros. “Mentally, we want to go into this game thinking it’s just another hockey game and not one against the great Beatrice Aeros. If we do that, we can come out with a vic- tory,” said Henwood. The Telus Lightning’s next NWHL home game is against the Ottawa Raiders at the Ajax Community Centre Saturday, Oct. 27. Game time is 7:30 p.m. RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo AJAX ––Telus Lightning goaltender Sarah Couch makes a sliding save off a puck fired from the slot by Missis- sauga Ice Bears’Andria Hunter (55) while Telus defencemen Christianne Tremills, left, and Carrie Handley con- verge on the net.

Five of the wins came in winning the 6th An- nual Brian Steele Memorial Hockey Tourna- ment, while the other was over Whitby on the road in the regular season opener. The Panthers blasted Weston 8-1 in the tour- nament final, which followed a 6-2 win in the semifinals over the host Hillcrest Summits. The team opened the tournament with wins against the Weston Hawks 5-1, the Port Credit Hurons 3-1, and Hillcrest 9-2 in round-robin play. The forward line of Phillip Pett, Kyle Palantzas and Jordan Pollari ignited the Panthers’ offence. Pett had 13 points, while Palantzas and Pollari contributed 10 each. Next in the scoring parade was defenceman Michael Accettone who had nine points and was plus-10. The Panthers iced a solid defen- sive unit that also included Justin Stephenson (five points, plus-three), Zack Milcawich (three points, plus- eight), Joel Farren (one point, plus- nine), Dan Glavin (one point, plus- eight) and Jonathon Blaha (one point, plus-four). Goaltenders Kyle Donnan, with a .944 save percentage, and Scott Avery, at .931, were a force throughout the tournament. Also turning in strong play were linemates Patrick Holmes, Michael O’Sullivan and Grant Ellis, who had a combined 14 points, and the line of Andrew Pavlidis, Jordan Entwistle and Branden Cleary, which had 15 points. Against Whitby, the Panthers opened the season with an exciting 6-5 win. Pett potted the winner on a nice setup from Holmes and Palantzas, with less than two min- utes remaining in the game. Donnan held his ground after Whitby pulled its goalie to try for the tie.
