OPENOPEN Students urged to protest OCAP encourages teens to walk out of class, skip Grade 10 literacy test BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Durham stu- dents are being encouraged to take part in three days of action starting Monday as part of a protest against the Mike Harris government. And the Province’s Grade 10 literacy test may be a target in a broad series of initiatives. According to a document post- ed on the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP) Web site, ‘Walkout to Defeat Harris’ begins Monday when students are en- couraged to walk out of school at lunch. The agenda for Tuesday is to shut down Bay Street in Toron- to and Wednesday’s agenda is to “refuse to write standardized tests”. John Clarke, an organizer with OCAP, said in an interview Friday the Toronto protest march is the “opening initiative in a campaign that’s going to go on into Novem- ber”, a campaign that will involve high school student walkouts. “Young people active within OCAP have been at the centre of taking this initiative forward, and that’s not something we want to hide from anyone,” said Mr. Clarke. “We’re not skulking around in the shadows.” He added “a group of young people, high school students them- selves or recent graduates from high schools”, have had some in- volvement in forming what he called “flying squads” in high schools. He said the phrase is an old one from the labour move- ment, referring to “mobile activists who are ready to lend support to struggles as they break out”. Mr. Clarke said some people Bio scare in the mail AJAX — Members of emer- gency response units clad in haz- ardous materials suits converged on a central neighbourhood here Friday afternoon after an Exeter Road woman received a piece of unsolicited mail. The woman notified the Durham Regional Police Service shortly after 1:30 p.m., which then cordoned off a portion of Exeter, Woodhouse Avenue and Burcher Road. Police officials also called in a member of the bomb squad at about 4:15 p.m. who X-rayed the package and found it to be safe. Inspector Mike Ewles said the woman receiving the package told officers there was little informa- tion on the package, so she noti- fied police. “It was a direct marketing cam- paign. Everything is locked down and there was no problem at all,” Insp. Ewles said. In addition to police, Ajax Fire and Emergency Services and am- bulance personnel were called out. “You don’t know what it is,” noted Fire Training Officer Ted Morrison of the response. He said firefighters suited up in ‘Level A Haz-Mat’coveralls used to protect against potential chemical or bio- logical contamination. The fire department also set up a contamination area on Exeter in case it was needed and police offi- cials called in members of the force’s nuclear, biohazard and chemical hazards unit. Officials began allowing area residents back into the neighbour- hood at approximately 5:30 p.m. Police officers and Ajax firefighters were taking no chances Friday afternoon when an Exeter Road woman reported she received a suspicious package that turned out to be unsolicited mail. Inset, a fire- fighter helps a colleague into coveralls that protect against chemical or biological contamination. ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo JOHN CLARKE ‘Opening initiative...’See POVERTY page 2 active in OCAP are involved in what a poster on the OCAP Web site describes as The High School Student Flying Squad. The squad’s contact number and OCAP’s are identical. Beginning this year, Grade 10 stu- dents must pass the literacy test in order to graduate from high school, though they have more than one op- portunity to do so. Students are to write the test on Tuesday and Wednes- day. Grant Yeo, education director of the Durham District School Board, said three different posters have appeared outside of some high schools in Pick- ering and Whitby. He understands they were put up overnight. “We’re not sure how this is going to be responded to by students,” said Mr. Yeo, noting one poster says, “f—- standardized testing”, while another says thousands of students across Toronto and southern Ontario will be walking out of school next week. The Education Quality and Ac- countability Office, which administers the Province’s standardized tests, has “written to principals that OCAP’s communication to students is highly inappropriate”, said Isabelle Chow. The EQAO’s assistant to the director of external relations offered a “no comment” when asked if a literacy test boycott is a real threat. “We are going ahead with the as- sessments,” said Ms. Chow. “Any stu- dent who is not officially deferred or exempted (from writing the test) will be officially recorded as absent,” and will not receive an individual student report. “They will have to write and successfully complete a future admin- istration of the test.” Asked if she thinks any protest ac- tions will affect Durham, Education Minister Janet Ecker said she “could- n’t predict what the next craziness will be coming from OCAP.” “This is really over the top, I mean they’re asking students to sacrifice their high school career to make a po- litical point,” she said. “Most Grade 10 students I know have more brains than that.” Sergeant Paul Malik, Durham Re- gion police spokesman, said Toronto police have told the Durham force “the coalition is planning something and they may require our assistance”. He said the public order unit is on standby to assist Toronto police. He was not aware of any protest activities planned for Durham. The OCAP Web site also contains a ‘High school student organizer’s man- ual’. The introduction states “this manu- al is being written on the brink of a campaign to challenge Mike Harris”. The manual tells students how to organize a walkout at their school, what kind of tactics to use, and how school administrators are likely to re- spond and why. In advising students how to spread the word about a walk- out, the manual states that beyond dis- tributing fliers “another more daring tactic is taking over the school inter- com system and announcing the walk- out”. Mr. Clarke said OCAP is but one organization in the Ontario Common Front, which is spearheading the protest measures. Mr. Clarke still faces charges relat- ed to the trashing earlier this year of Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty’s con- stituency office. — with files from Jennifer Stone.

And after a lengthy de- bate during Wednesday’s meeting, councillors came to the conclusion no action is the best action. Councillors were dis- cussing whether they should ask Pickering Regional Councillor Rick Johnson to temporarily step down as chairman of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority — a position he was appointed to by council — until he resolves a legal matter with the Township of Uxbridge (Pickering is also investigating his actions). In the end, Durham councillors decided the answer was ‘no’. A stop-work order has been issued to Coun. John- son while Uxbridge investi- gates whether he had the right to clear municipally- owned land on the Oak Ridges Moraine that leads into his property on Picker- ing-Uxbridge Town Line, said Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor. She sup- ported the request made by Ajax Mayor Steve Parish to have Coun. Johnson step down. Mayor Parish made the request following a con- fidential report to council re- garding whether Coun. Johnson broke a Regional tree-cutting bylaw. Coun. Johnson said he would not comment on any of the discussions about him by Durham council, noting his lawyer is dealing with the matter. He has previous- ly said he received permis- sion to do the work. “Coun. Johnson is enti- tled to due process, no ques- tion,” said Mayor Parish. “But there is a very strong case in my view the tree bylaw has been broken. There is a cloud over Coun. Johnson and in light of that cloud, there is a cloud over all of us. “The honourable and proper thing to do, that Coun. Johnson should have done it by now voluntarily, is to have stepped aside from his duties as chair of CLOCA... It shows nobody is dealt any better or any worse than any other citi- zen,” Mayor Parish said. Oshawa Councillor Cathy Clarke disagreed. She said nothing council heard during the private briefing led council to a conclusion on Coun. Johnson’s guilt or innocence. To ask for him to step down as chairman would infer council was privy to knowledge it does not yet have, she said. Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond also balked at the idea. “The comment was made the member is to be treated no better and no worse than anyone else. If we take any action now, we are prejudg- ing. If any bylaw has been broken let the law take its course. Uxbridge is follow- ing this up, Pickering is fol- lowing this up and our (re- gional) staff is following this up. Our courts should de- cide. As elected officials we still have rights in this coun- try,” she said. Whitby Councillor Pat Perkins, who sits on the CLOCA board, said she felt it would be wise for Coun. Johnson to step aside till the air was cleared. “Whether Coun. Johnson is innocent or guilty, there is a huge per- ception issue,” she said, not- ing as chairman of CLOCA Coun. Johnson represents the authority. “The percep- tion is there from the public he should have known bet- ter. For the public’s comfort he should step aside for now.” In a recorded vote of 24 councillors, only five mem- bers voted to request Coun. Johnson step aside while the investigations continue: Mayor Parish, Coun. Perkins, Mayor O’Connor, Brock Councillor Larry O’- Connor and Uxbridge Coun- cillor Susan Para.

On Saturday, June 30, Ms. Gosse and her husband of 17 years, Glenn Pawley, were involved in a traffic accident at Brock Road and Hwy. 407 in Pickering at 3:25 p.m., killing Mr. Pawley, 52, and badly injuring Ms. Gosse. And while she’s still coming to terms with the horrific event, Ms. Gosse wants to say thank you to the man who helped her at the scene. The man, she believes his name is Keith, stayed with her, held her hand and spoke with her until she was placed in an ambulance. Ms. Gosse described the man as in his early 30s, with short brown hair, a slim build, between 150 and 160 pounds and light brown skin. “I can still see his face,” she said. “This young man held my hand. I just wanted to say thank you.” The local couple were riding a 1986 Honda Gold Wing motorcycle north on Brock when a southbound car, making a left-hand turn on a green light, cut in front of them and they couldn’t avoid the vehi- cle. They were on their way to Aurora for a birthday party for Mr. Pawley’s 85-year- old mother. Ms. Gosse suffered injuries to her neck, back, right hand and right leg. She goes to physiotherapy three times a week and is in group grief counselling. “I’m slowly getting back,” she said. “I came back (to work) part-time July 16.” She is still working part-time at her job as the inside sales manager for an adhe- sives company. She is trying to find “a wonderful per- son, who I now think of as my guardian angel, while I was lying on the road wait- ing for emergency personnel,” Ms. Gosse said in a letter. “I’m almost certain his name is Keith and he held my hand all the while I was laying there. “He kept talking and generally kept up a line of conversation to help me. He stayed with me and held my hand until the ambulance attendants were able to stabi- lize me and put me in the ambulance, at which time I had to let go. “Believe me, I really did not want to let go.” Ms. Gosse said if anyone knows the man, “please let him know that I owe him a debt of gratitude and wish I could per- sonally thank him for helping me in the healing process while I have been recu- perating and dealing with my grief. “His kindness has proven, once again, that there are so many caring people in this world,” she said. If you can help, call Ms. Gosse at 905- 426-4088. Guardian angel sought Phyllis Gosse is recovering from in- juries sustained in a crash in June that took the life of her husband. She’s looking for a man who stayed with her at the scene until paramedics rushed her to hospital. BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —The federal parliamentary secre- tary to the minister of finance says we’re headed for a re- cession, only it won’t be the type Canadians are used to. “It’s going to be a tough couple of quarters,” Markham MP John McCal- lum, formerly chief econo- mist of the Royal Bank, told business and community leaders at a Liberal Party lun- cheon in Oshawa Friday. Dr. McCallum said an ex- pected drop in Gross Domes- tic Product (GDP) growth in the next two quarters will cause a “technical reces- sion”, however, he added our economy is in a good posi- tion to bounce back quickly. “In the early ‘90s we ex- perienced a deep, long and painful recession but this is different,” he said in an inter- view before the luncheon. “Remember we had just ex- perienced a real estate melt- down, we had double-digit interest rates, a huge deficit and at 90 cents US, a grossly overvalued Canadian dollar. Today we’re in a better posi- tion to weather the storm.” The one intangible in looking at the future, accord- ing to Dr. McCallum, is con- sumer confidence. However, he noted there are already in- dications of recovery. “There are signs things are getting better,” he said, adding federal tax cuts com- ing Jan. 1 and low interest rates expected to be dropped “even lower” will lead to “a nice recovery next year”.

Durham’s Emergency Measures Ontario (EMO) of- fice is continuing to monitor the events unfolding on the world stage but currently its emergency operations centre is not activated because “Canadian targets aren’t ex- actly high profile,” said Steve Marchi, training co-ordinator for Durham EMO. Mr. Marchi noted EMO has just finished a bio-terror- ism plan although it has yet to be released to the Durham office. He expects local co- ordination of the Region’s various agencies to take place once the report is re- leased. If Durham was targeted for a biological attack, it would be “well-managed” said Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham’s associate medical officer of health. “Certainly there is no in- dication there is a threat to Durham Region or Canada,” said Dr. Reynolds. However, she added, if anthrax or small pox was released somewhere in the region, “we have one of the best local emergency response plans,” due to the location of the nuclear plants here. Dr. Reynolds said Health Canada is prepared in the event either anthrax or smallpox is released. It has 250,000 antibiotic doses available to combat anthrax in addition to supplies cur- rently available in pharma- cies. In the event of a small- pox outbreak there are “hun- dreds of thousands” of im- munization doses available. Meanwhile, the Pickering and Darlington nuclear plants continue on enhanced security, confirmed John Earl, spokesman for Ontario Power Generation (OPG). In a Sept. 26 letter to Art Eggleton, federal minister of national defence, Clarington Mayor John Mutton called upon the federal government to investigate the possibility of air space surveillance for the Darlington plant from the Trenton military base and possibly protection by “air- craft such as CF-18s.” The Department of Na- tional Defence is remaining tight-lipped about the pur- pose of CF-18s currently sta- tioned at the Trenton air force base but a local MP confirms they are here to “do their job” of protecting the air space from any security threat. When asked Friday if the CF-18s would be monitoring and protecting Durham’s nu- clear plants from hostile air- craft, Durham MP Alex Shepherd responded, “The answer is yes, or to any threat. That’s their job and that’s what they’re doing.” The nuclear plant opera- tors are working closely with all levels of government on security initiatives, Mr. Earl said. However, he added, he cannot discuss what those tactics may include. Jim Wilson, Ontario’s minister of science and tech- nology, said last week a new relationship has been formed between the plants and the Durham Regional Police Ser- vice that did not exist prior to the events of Sept. 11, but he also said he could not elabo- rate on the details for securi- ty reasons. Mr. Wilson was in Newcastle to attend a Pro- gressive Conservative Asso- ciation dinner. “Every measure neces- sary is being taken to ensure the plants are safe. The CANDU (nuclear reactor) system is the safest in the world. It shuts down in sec- onds,” in the event of an emergency, the minister said. “The plants are ahead of the United States (plants). We’re way ahead of many of the plants,” for safety considera- tions. Residents here should be assured Durham’s two nu- clear facilities are among the safest in the world, agreed Mr. Marchi. Durham’s two CANDU nuclear facilities provide an advantage over their counter- parts in the United States be- cause in the event of a ra- dioactive steam release, the CANDU reactors have a vac- uum system that would seal in the steam thereby provid- ing a time delay to allow for evacuation of the affected area, explained Mr. Marchi. The vacuum at Darlington is a 71-metre (240-foot) high cylindrical concrete struc- ture. The Pickering vacuum, similar in design, is 51-feet high. Once the steam is in the vacuum, if it had to be re- leased it could then be re- leased slowly during favourable weather condi- tions, said OPG spokesman Ted Gruetzner. Mr. Marchi noted this safeguard would provide “anywhere from two to three days to two to three weeks” to evacuate the area and set up shelters for those who must leave their homes.

BETTER LEARNING 2001 Staying Involved In your Child's Education Dr. Gary Hunt A child's education is a partnership consisting of your child, teachers, and par- ents. Many parents have a hectic schedule and a busy social life, including the organi- zation of their children's extra-curricular activities. To get the most out of your time with your child, and to keep involved in your child's education to the fullest here are some ideas. It is important to keep in constant con- tact with your child's school. The adminis- tration is always interested in talking with involved parents. Parents with flexible work schedules can volunteer to help out in the classroom. You can always become involved with the school Parent Teacher Association. Regardless of the amount of time you commit, any effort to establish a link with your child's school will be of great benefit. One of the most important things you do each year, is establish a friendly and cooperative relationship with your child's teachers. They nurture and develop your child's learning. They have a genuine interest in seeing your child progress over the year. Input and feedback from the par- ents is important to teachers. The parent- teacher interview is an appropriate time for cooperation to take place. Following the interview, try to keep in regular contact with the teacher. You might want to send him/her an occasional note, demonstrating that you have genuine interest your child's development. Always listen to what your child tells you. Ask your child specific questions related to school work. Do not stop at "How was your day?" Ask what he/she learned in math, to describe any science experiments that he/she conducted, or to read journal entries at the dinner table. Help your child when he/she is having dif- ficulty doing some homework assignment. Seek professional help if you notice a per- sistent problem in some subject area. Show your child how to organize his/her time with a planning agenda. Above all else, show confidence and pride in your child! There is nothing like praise and encourage- ment from you, the parent, to help your child develop self-esteem!

Douglas Graves’ suggestion that an appropriate response to the recent tragedy in New York City would be to turn one or two Middle Eastern coun- tries into a “vast nuclear wasteland” re- veals not only a callous disregard for human life that he shares with the very terrorists he condemns, but a simplistic ignorance of the basics of strategic thinking. A few hundred motivated operatives, armed with only box cutters and fanati- cal dedication, wreaked havoc and mur- der on the world’s most powerful nation. Mr. Graves’ plan of action calls for the slaughter of hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of civilians, thereby ensuring the motivation necessary for the recruitment of, not a few hundred, but thousands or millions of dedicated, potential martyrs to their cause. Mr. Graves’ shallow thinking betrays a complete misunderstanding of the classic strategy of terrorism. One of the goals of an act such as we saw Sept. 11 is to goad the enemy into retaliatory ac- tion that will justify the terrorist’s crimes and solidify the support in the population. Mr. Graves’ absurd plan to murder a few million people in the Middle East in revenge is exactly the response the ter- rorists want. It’s terrorism 101. Mr. Graves accuses columnist David Stell and his “peacenik friends” of “fuzzy thinking”. If the naive, juvenile rhetoric flowing from Mr. Graves is rep- resentative of the thinking of Canadians, the terrorists already have the battle half won.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com As if our high schools haven’t had enough problems in the past few years, along comes John Clarke to cause even more. The unrepentant Ontario Coalition Against Poverty leader is en- couraging secondary school students throughout the Greater Toronto Area — and yes, that means here in Durham — to walk out Monday at noon and continue protests Tuesday and Wednesday. The students are being urged to help shut down Bay Street Tuesday and to boycott standardized Grade 10 literacy tests Wednesday. The OCAP Web site includes a ‘High school student organizer’s manual’ that tells students how to organize a school walkout, what kind of tactics to use, how school administrators are likely to respond and why. In addition to fliers, the Web site says, “another more dar- ing tactic is taking over the school intercom system and announcing the walkout”. Mr. Clarke is known locally after recent criminal charges in con- nection to June’s attack on Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s Whitby office landed him in jail for nearly a month. He was also charged in the riots at Queen’s Park last year. It’s one thing for Mr. Clarke to incite his adult followers, but to drag his message and tactics into public high school classrooms is simply not acceptable. While secondary schools should be havens for independent thought and vigorous debate, such activity must be con- fined to the classroom. High schools are not political institutions and students should never be used as pawns by OCAP or any other group to pressure the Province. The Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO), which administers the Grade 10 standardized literacy tests, is going ahead with the exams this week. The EQAO has written to principals that “OCAP’s communication to students is highly inappropriate,” says Isabelle Chow, an EQAO spokesman. The assessments will go ahead and, “any student who is not officially deferred or exempted will be officially recorded as absent,” warns Ms. Chow. Students and their parents, teachers and principals must talk about this issue at home and at school. Young people have nothing to gain and everything to lose by marching out of school and missing a crit- ical test they must pass if they are to receive their high school diplo- ma. Legal, peaceful protest against government — a legitimate civil right — has a time and place. But that right must not be exercised during school hours and with a critical make-or-break test on the line. As for OCAP, it has done nothing positive for Ontarians since it began its fight with the Mike Harris government several years ago. Students should know criminal antics like trashing a minister’s office or throwing rocks at mounted police lead down a black hole. Leading students down a black hole Criminal antics, missing mandatory high school test the wrong road to take Comfort. Discomfort. What a world we live in. I’m comforted by the fact my neighbours at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station have refur- bished, renovated and rebuilt in a bid to make those idled ‘A’-side nu- clear reactors safe and operational. I find discomfort in the fact an international terrorist might find those nuclear silos an attractive tar- get. I’m comforted by the notion the Crown has withdrawn charges against Donna Crichton, who al- legedly caused her husband, Bar- rington Wynn, quite a measure of discomfort during a certain domes- tic dispute that led to the injury of a certain sensitive body part. I find no comfort in thinking about Mr. Wynn’s recuperation. I find comfort in the fact U.S. President George Bush is dropping humanitarian aid alongside the smart bombs in Afghanistan. I find discomfort in the perverted exhor- tations of Al Qaeda spokesman Suliman Abu Ghaith, who suggests, “there are thousands of young peo- ple who are as keen about death as Americans are about life.” I find comfort in the knowledge that, despite this dark period of our history currently unfolding, I en- tirely forget about it the minute my children greet me at the front door after a day’s work. I find a measure of discomfort with the discovery they have introduced ‘terrorist bad guys’ into their daily play routines, indoors and out. Suddenly, I long for the days of ‘cops and robbers’. I’m comforted by the efforts here at home to help our U.S. neighbours. Whether it’s through blood donations, emergency supply collections and offers to help in any way, Canadians have indeed walked ‘shoulder to shoulder’ with our American friends since Sept. 11. I am also comforted by the mea- sured and thoughtful response to current events by Durham Muslim leader Kazim Qureshi. In reference to Osama bin Laden and friends, he has this to say: “This is not Islam.” Comfort. Discomfort. What a world we live in. What an interesting new world So much to find comfort in, just as much discomfort Steve Houston Managing Editor shouston@durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 14, 2001 PAGE 7 A/P BY JACQUIE MCINNES Staff Writer DURHAM –– Imagine, if you will, worn-out running shoes, table scraps, used Q-tips, tattered clothes, candy wrappers, juice boxes, dirty Kleenex, type two plastic containers, dog poop, kitty litter, diapers and donut shop cof- fee cups. Now mush it all together and pile it... into a 141,000 tonne pile, that is. That’s about how much garbage Durham Region took to landfill last year and about the same amount it has to find a home for when the Keele Valley landfill site closes at the end of 2002, says Peter Watson, whose job it is to manage Durham’s refuse. The Region thought it had an answer well ahead of the sched- uled Keele Valley closure when it teamed up with Toronto and York on the bid to send waste to Adams Mine in Kirkland Lake. That solu- tion, years in the planning, was de- railed by opposition from residents and environmentalists last year, so it was back to the drawing board for Toronto and for Durham. Now, with the Keele closure looming, Durham’s works depart- ment is preparing to open up a Re- quest for Proposal (RFP) to con- tractors interested in taking the Re- gion’s garbage off its hands. “This allows contractors to offer a wide variety of options,” says Mr. Watson. “There’s landfill, there’s energy recovery plants and many new innovative technologies. The intent of the RFP is to have people knowledgeable in the dis- posal of waste submit proposals.” At Toronto’s works department the investigation has already been completed. The department is poised to recommend a solution to the City’s works committee on Nov. 14. The Toronto plan, if ap- proved by city council, will send the 165,000 tonnes of municipal trash, which Toronto currently dis- poses at the Keele site, south to one of two Michigan sites, says Angelos Bacopoulos, Toronto’s solid waste manager. That’s where the majority of Toronto’s 900,000 tonnes of garbage, created each year, already ends up. The only options the City’s works committee will really get to consider is whether to send the trash by train or truck and which of two Michigan sites to send it to, he says. But that doesn’t mean Toron- to is committed to landfill as the only solution over the long-term. Toronto is working hard toward diverting as much of that waste as possible out of landfill. A pilot pro- ject, dubbed the Green Torpedo, has just started in Peel. The diver- sion project is expected to take an- other 15 per cent of garbage out of the landfill stream once the new collection system is phased in across the city over the next three years, says Mr. Bacopoulos. It would take Toronto’s current rate of 27 per cent diversion up to 42 per cent. Lawson Oates, Toronto’s man- ager of strategic solid waste plan- ning, says that while Toronto will most likely sign on with the Michi- gan landfill option, the works de- partment has ensured any contract it signs will not penalize the City for reducing the amount of garbage it sends there. “We’ve built in the ability to reduce,” he says. Durham Works Committee Chairman, Regional Councillor Rick Johnson, says he hopes Durham finds its own path in waste disposal and that the choice will not include the Michigan option at all, even off the top. “I do not support the Michigan option. We have to look at emerg- ing technologies,” says the coun- cillor, who first got into office in the late 1980s on a promise to close the Brock West landfill site in Pickering. “We must find alter- native measures to landfill. We can’t just ship it across the border because that’s the least expensive. That’s not the proper way. There are many alternative methods for disposal other than the archaic landfill.” Mr. Johnson suggests new col- lection methods, like one about to be piloted in Uxbridge, Scugog, Clarington and Brock, which will separate wet and dry garbage curb- side, could be key to new disposal methods. He says it’s time for a co- ordinated collection system among all of Durham’s municipalities. “We have eight different munici- palities and they’re all different,” in how they collect waste, he says. While environmentalists may applaud Coun. Johnson’s commit- ment to diversion away from land- fill, Mr. Oates says the reality is the incentive to divert is no longer just environmental. It reaches down to the bottom line. Keele Valley offered a very in- expensive dump site, notes Mr. Oates, who says it was costing $15 per tonne for the City to land its waste there. By contrast the Michi- gan option is going to cost just under $52 per tonne. Although the Adams Mine cost was never re- vealed publicly, Mr. Oates says it was “competitive” with the Michi- gan price. There simply no longer exists an option in line with the Keele Valley price, he says. Everyone knew going in that the closure of Keele Valley was going to drive the cost of disposal up, says Mr. Oates, who points out Keele Valley was an older facility paid for in early 1980s prices. It was located on land of low value in an abandoned pit and is only a short drive up the road from Toron- to and Durham compared to sites available today. “The reality is the costs (of landfill) are higher. Companies are seeking returns,” says Mr. Oates. But while that may be bad news for taxpayers, it could be good news for the environment. “It makes diversion that much more cost-competitive,” says Mr. Oates, who points out the cost be- tween landfill and diversion is no longer so disparate the way it was when Keele Valley was still an op- tion. And, that means municipali- ties are willing to look at new op- portunities for diversion. Durham’s Request for Proposal process is expected to begin later this fall with a report expected to go to Durham’s works committee early in the new year. The only thing Mr. Watson can say for sure at this point about who will ultimately receive Durham’s garbage is “all have an equal op- portunity to do business with the Region.” All options will be con- sidered, he says. The Michigan option This is the 10th in a series of monthly features covering waste management issues in Durham Region. In this story we look at Toronto’s plans to ship garbage to Michigan and Durham’s options after closure of the Keele Valley landfill. Durham considers its waste management choices as closure of Keele Valley landfill looms Durham residents sent 141,000 tonnes of trash to the dump last year. With the closure of the Keele Valley landfill slated for the end of 2002, Durham politicians are considering options on handling the Region’s refuse. Will we, like Toronto, end up sending our rubbish to Michigan? Choices, choices, choices When the Region opens a Re- quest for Proposal (RFP) later this fall for a contract to host about 141,000 tonnes of garbage collect- ed annually in Durham, the works department will be open to “all op- tions,” says Peter Watson, Durham’s manager of waste management. A contract must be in place in time for the closure of the Keele Valley landfill site in Vaughan, ex- pected at the end of 2002. Some of those options could include: • Sending some or all of the waste to a willing host for a landfill site, possibly to Michigan, where Toronto currently sends 735,000 tonnes and is expected to send an- other 165,000 when the Keele Val- ley landfill site closes; • Collecting wet waste separate from dry waste and sending the wet waste to a compost facility while further recycling the dry compo- nents of the garbage beyond what the Region already diverts; • Using waste left over after re- cycling to create electricity through new-technology incineration at a power plant type facility; • Disposing of the waste through a plasma converter system that not only destroys the garbage but creates a raw material for prod- ucts such as recyclable metals and inorganic silicates that can be used in the abrasives industry or as an aggregate material for construction. Or quite possibly, the Region could opt to use a number of the above options together to reduce or even eliminate its dependence on landfill.

EAR CANDLE MAKING WORKSHOP Sunday Nov. 25, 2001, 2-6pm A.M.S. - Durham’s Latest Full-Service Mortgage Brokerage Accurate Mortgage Services Inc., (AMS) is a full-service mortgage brokerage, plus much more, and may be the newest company to arrange mortgages in the Durham region. AMS was formed to provide all types of mortgage products and alternative financing for clients all across Durham Region, and have recently opened their new offices in Whitby. According to Business Manager, Robert Brown, “our goal is to offer superior mortgage alternatives and to create a one-stop shopping option for financial needs for everyone.” The management and staff of AMS bring together years of expertise in many areas of financial and business experience, and are very familiar with situations in Durham. They have been with other mortgage brokerages in Durham, but have come together with some new ideas to better serves those looking for an alternative means to get the job done with the least amount of hassle for the client. Robert Brown had owned and operated his business for several years in downtown Whitby as Accurate Financial Services Inc. (AFS). With ongoing growth he had expanded it to include other areas of financing such as leasing, loans, factoring, credit lines, secured and unsecured loans, and had built an extensive network of lenders throughout Canada and the USA. From this, Mr. Brown and AFS were creating a one-stop shop for all their clients financial needs. All the while, Robert Brown was registered to arrange mortgages but only with an “outside” licensed brokerage. Living in the area Whitby for many years, Mr. Brown wanted to better service the Region and the many people he has come to know. Dealing with many people in the mortgage and loans business has given Robert a unique knowledge of Durham client’s requirements. Being able to look after mortgage needs “in house” was the next logical step. Robert Brown met with Michael Peace, and put the plan in place to create AMS and add the mortgage brokerage “in house”. Mr. Peace is a well- respected Chartered Accountant with a thriving business in Oshawa, and has been in the corporate and personal tax and accounting business for years. Accurate Mortgage Services can now arrange for your entire mortgage needs “in house”. With their network of alternative lenders, the most appropriate one can be found for almost every type of situation that a client may be in - whether it is “A” “B” or “C” business. People that are in a pressured financial situation can also count on AMS to make every effort to assess what needs to be done and try to help. AMS can arrange first and second mortgages, and sometimes a third mortgage. But in all cases a client’s options are explained in a way that they will understand - and the consultations are always free. With the use of on- line applications, they are up to date on all the best current rates from all of the major institutions and have many private lenders as well. Mr. Brown’s future plans are to include a referral-based program to include on-site licensed agents to arrange such services as home insurance, life insurance, lawyers, real estate agents, etc. It will truly make AMS and AFS a one- stop shop for all your financial concerns. Imagine the hassle-free convenience of being able to finance a home, take out a loan, insure it and yourself, lease your car, have your taxes done, set up a will, all arranged through one friendly office. For those people interested in private mortgage funding as an investment, they are invited to call Robert Brown for a meeting to get all their questions answered. There is an ever-growing need for funds for private mortgages, which still remain one of the best types of investment. As Robert Brown says, “For friendly, personal service - regardless of your situation - give Accurate a call, or drop in and visit our consultants”. (905) 436-9292 or toll free 1-877-509-LOAN.

I am a single mother. My son, Chaz, is eight years old. I am a customer service representative. I dropped 64 lbs. of fat in 11 short months. My story is so remarkable. I would like to share it with you. By Tania Olsson My cheeks burned with embarrassment as I stared at the television screen. We were watching a recent family video. “I’m huge!” I gasped. I had always been tall and trim in high school. I was on the swim team and volleyball team. I was shocked and appalled to realize how fat I had become. My folks never allowed junk food in the house. When I got old enough to make my own food choices, I went hog wild. Chips, ice cream and soda pop were my routine. When I was pregnant I started eating for two. After Chaz was born I cooked for two and ate for four! I used food as comfort. I told myself it was just baby fat. It would go away. But it didn’t go away. I was getting fatter every week. With fat came anxiety and depression. My self-esteem was nil. I could see folks turning sideways to squeeze past me. I’d cringe inside. My weight made me crazy. I refused to eat in public. I knew what people were thinking...Look at what you’re eating...no wonder you’re so fat. Go ahead, honey, have another cheeseburger. I used to be so hard on fat people. Now I was fat, hurt and desperate. Dieting Nightmares I was always trying the next fad diet. I tried grueling exercise routines. It would never stick. When I didn’t feel the results, I’d get discouraged. The cravings were unbearable. I lost 30 pounds twice with weight loss drugs. My weight shot back up so fast it made my head spin. The drugs set me on an emotional rollercoaster. I couldn’t bear the thought of a third go around. Nothing I do works, I told myself as I sat on the couch with a gallon of ice cream. What’s the use of trying? Ray of Sunshine One day a close friend encouraged me to try hypnosis. I was skeptical. “I’ve heard they get great results,” she said. I could only hope. The free screening was like a ray of sunshine. My consultant was caring and concerned. The office is professional and comfortable. Their level of confidentiality was impressive. I held my breath for the sales pitch. It didn’t happened. They explained the program in detail. Left it for me to decide. The fee was much lower than I expected. I signed up and lost 64 lbs. in 11 short months. I lost ten inches off my waist. My dress size plunged from a bulging 22 to sleek size 12. Whole New Me! Immediately after my first session my appetite diminished. I feel completely satisfied with small, healthy portions. Next my food choices changed. When I was fat I would not touch raw vegetables. With hypnosis I have developed this strange attraction to carrots! They’re as appealing as potato chips used to be. I know I will never, ever gain the weight back. Now that I’m thin and happy with my body, I can’t think of a single reason to overeat. Hypnosis Delivers Benefits! I used to feel sluggish by 9:00 a.m. I was so depressed. Even my hair drooped. Since hypnosis I look and feel young, alive and vibrant. My skin is glowing. My hair is thick and shiny. I have tons of energy. I’m light on my feet. My family and friends all want to know how I did it. They want to be like me. The other day a co- worker said, “I wish I could have even half your energy.” That was the best compliment of all. When I was fat I smoked skinny cigarettes to make me feel thin. Quitting smoking was a side benefit I had not expected. I breathe better. Move better. Enjoy more activities. I hated walking in and out of plus size stores. I would rush my shopping bags to the car. Everybody knows you’re fat, but come on, that’s the big girl’s store.Shopping for a size 12 is the most wonderful feeling in the world. I no longer worry about eating in public. When eyes are on me, I know they’re thinking, “Hey, she’s got it together.” Chaz is tickled to see my biceps. We recently went rock climbing. We enjoy rollerblading. There’s no way I could have done that before. Recommends I suffered when I was overweight. I lived in a state of overwhelming helplessness. I was out of control. It was frightening. Hypnosis was the smartest investment of my life. My consultant took the time to listen to my fears. I never felt pressured. My success was their main concern. I got more than I expected from my private hypnosis sessions. I feel wonderful about myself. If it wasn’t for hypnosis I wouldn’t be enjoying my slim, healthy body today. Don’t think I’m a lone success story either. I meet other successful clients all the time. My only regret is that I waited and suffered for months. You don’t have to suffer another second. Call 905-686-7717 right now to schedule your free hypnotic screening. I know your consultant will answer all your questions and put your fears to rest. If they don’t think hypnosis is right for you, they will tell you so. You owe it to yourself to find out. CALL NOW. Results happen! Here’s more proof . . . “Weight Melts Off . . .” “I lost 36 lbs. in 2 1/2 months. I dropped 9 lbs. the first week. That impressed me. I’ve never had weight come off like this before. Just melting. I no longer crave the junk foods. My mind and body tell me to quit eating and I do. My headaches and depression are gone. Joint problems have vanished. I believe my weight loss will be permanent. The positive information is being instilled in my brain and I know it’s going to stay there!” Betty E. Lowe, Hairdresser “Old Habits Stop for Good!” “I had a problem with weight nearly my whole life. Dieting never worked. I would go back to the old habits. After my first session, I went to the grocery store. I had an empty stomach. I was amazed to realize I wasn’t hungry. I didn’t want to pull the items off the shelf and take a taste. I didn’t want the samples that were cooking in the aisles. Even though I just started, I know hypnosis will work for me. My old habits will stop for good.” Kathy Seaton, Medical Transcriptionist “Quit Smoking and Dropped 47 Lbs.!” “I participated in two programs simultaneously. Weight loss and stop smoking. I have been very successful at both. I stopped smoking and lost 47 lbs. in two months. I strongly recommend hypnosis to everyone.” Bennie Woods, Naval Officer “Self-Confidence Boost” “I tried a number of weight loss programs. I would lose weight, but gain back every ounce. Several members of my church congregation found success with hypnosis. Although I had preconceived ideas as to what hypnosis is,I decided to attend an initial evaluation. I have not regretted that decision! Clothes that were too tight now fit. The relaxation techniques reduced stress and help me sleep better. I have reached a level of self- esteem and self-confidence which I never thought attainable.” Barbara H. Moore, Reading Specialist “Easy 25 Lb. Weight Loss” “I have lost 25 lbs. Unlike other programs I’ve tried, the low-key, non-threatening, live-a-normal life approach is contagious and easy to follow. I have advised my friends to use hypnosis for weight loss and to quit smoking.” David L. Hubert, Insurance Sales “3 Belt Notches Smaller” “In just over two months I lost 23 lbs. My belt size is 3 notches smaller! The first month I lost 10 lbs. I heard about hypnosis for weight loss through two people I golf with. They both lost weight with hypnosis. Within the first few weeks I noticed that losing weight with hypnosis was easy. I am in control of my eating.“ Daniel Pearl, Consultant “I was shocked when I saw my family video. How did I get so fat?” Tania Olsson before shedding 64 lbs. with hypnosis. RESULTS! RESULTS!! RESULTS!!!

In fact there’s plenty of room for two people.” The seamless wall panel means no tiles or grout so main- tenance is simple. You also don’t have to move the drain or fix- ture locations. The conversion features optional multi-function shower heads, shower spray and many varieties of sliding glass enclo- sures.

LCBO to fund bottle recycling program Efforts don’t go far enough: Durham works chairman BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —An multimillion- dollar commitment by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) to municipal funding of the blue box program doesn’t “go far enough”, ac- cording to Durham’s works chair- man. “It stops short of taking the bite out of waste going to landfill,” said Pickering Regional Councillor Rick Johnson, who chairs Durham’s works committee. Coun. Johnson said “everywhere else in the world”, ex- cept Ontario, there is a liquor bottle return program and added it’s time the Province gets one too. The Ministry of the Environment announced Wednesday the LCBO will pay $1 million toward the setup of Waste Diversion Ontario, a pro- posed not-for-profit organization to develop, implement and fund waste- diversion programs throughout the province. As well, it will pay $4 million to municipalities for costs associated with recycling alcohol containers and will invest $5 million each year for the next five years into the recycling program. “This funding commitment not only helps municipalities meet their waste diversion targets, but it is also an approach that is practical, cost-ef- fective and convenient for con- sumers,” LCBO chairman and chief executive officer Andrew Brandt said. Environment Minister Elizabeth Witmer said a proposed act on waste diversion will ease the financial bur- den on municipalities and ensure in- dustry pays its “fair share” for the cost of recycling. But Mr. Johnson questioned whether the $4 million will be suffi- cient to cover the costs municipalities currently pay for recycling LCBO bottles. He added the initiative still misses the important thrust of reuse over recycle. A return similar to beer bottle de- posits would provide incentive for consumers to return their empties, said Coun. Johnson, noting that it doesn’t have to be the liquor store that manages a container return pro- gram. “Set up a bottle depot. It could be run by the municipalities or the pri- vate sector but funded by the produc- er of the bottles,” he suggested. Since 1998, the Liquor Control Board of Ontario has contributed $12 million toward the cost of recycling alcohol containers. N OTHING R UNS L IKE ADEERE®www.JohnDeere.com FREE RIDE?

Police officials ask school boards for input on future Officer says boards might want to focus on drug use, youth crime DURHAM —The Durham Regional Police Service on Tuesday night invited the Catholic school board to help it form a game plan for the future. Sergeant Joe Maiorano of the corporate planning unit told trustees at the Durham Catholic District School Board meeting Durham police are looking for input as it creates a 2002 to 2004 business plan. The police ser- vice wants the community to help identify key priorities and develop action plans that will meet the growing region’s polic- ing needs. Sgt. Maiorano said the board might wish to focus on issues such as drugs and youth crime, to help police understand “to what extent is it affecting your schools and the ability of stu- dents to obtain an excellent edu- cation.” He said “even better relation- ship building can be a positive outcome” of the business plan- ning process. “Sometimes it’s nice to pick up a phone and know who you should be contacting,” said Sgt. Maiorano. A week earlier,Valerie Beyer, the police service’s manager of corporate planning and develop- ment, extended the same invita- tion to Durham District School Board trustees.

She is also someone who has experienced change in her life when it comes to losing weight by changing her eating habits. “I know how it feels physi- cally and emotionally to have a weight problem and digestive disorders,” she explains. “This experience helps me to work with my clients so they can achieve their goals.” Evelyn has designed a 4 step program for her clients that is easy to follow and has resulted in long term results. The first step is a 1 hour consultation. She finds out what you’ve been eating and how you’ve been feeling. It’s a time to learn about good and bad eating habits as well as the differences between good and bad digestion. Next you take home a ques- tionnaire. This helps you to see which systems you may be hav- ing trouble with including diges- tion, elimination and respiratory as well as problems associated with vitamin and mineral defi- ciencies. Once this is done the next step is to determine whether you need a detoxification program. “You may feel bloated all the time, have bad breath or feel tired all the time,” says Evelyn. “Detoxification is the body’s nat- ural process of elimination or neutralizing of toxins via the liver, the kidneys, the urine, feces, exhalation and perspira- tion.” This step of the program also includes your eating plan based on your needs whether it’s for detoxification, weight loss or both. Evelyn provides you with easy and affordable recipes and an individualized eating plan which will include herbal supple- ments for detoxifi- cation. She will also instruct you on healthy food sub- Lose Weight and Feel Great for Christmas stitutions in particular replacing the 4W’s: white rice; white flour; white pasta and white sugar.

ADVERTISING FEATURE Creating The Future You Want By Rory Sheehan, B.A., B.Ed.,M.B.A We have all heard about the importance of goal setting, and we understand why we should be taking consistent action towards achieving our goals. We know what we should do, and we even know how we should do it. So why are so many of us not experiencing the lifestyle that we want, or achieving the goals that we set? I have been teaching people to set goals and manage change in their lives for many years now, and I have always been searching for simple solutions to help people get the results they want. And I have finally found it. It is very a simple solution, and it is exception- ally effective. The problem with this simple and effective solution for achieving goals and managing change, is that it is so simple most people often discount it before making any effort because it is “too simple”. What I would like to do in this article is share this simple solution with you in the hope that you will use it as a highly effective tool in changing your lives. The solution is based on the belief that you are where you are by choice. In order to change where you are going in the future you must make a choice to facilitate that change. Unfortunately, our conscious choice, and all of our actions, are strongly influenced by our unconscious minds. This means that we must look to our unconscious minds to create any meaningful and lasting change. You may want to create changes so you can make more money, loose some weight or start a new business. Regardless of what it is you want, your ability to achieve it rests in your unconscious mind. And that is where you must focus your efforts. If you can change the beliefs held in your unconscious mind, then that change will influence your conscious thoughts, and direct all your actions and behaviours towards your desired outcomes. In order to create change in your uncon- scious mind you must begin by asking yourself the following question. “What is it that has pre- vented me from experiencing what ever it is I want up until this point in my life?” Whatever it is, this belief must be changed before you will be able to achieve whatever it is you want in the future. If you change this belief, you will change your future. As an example, if we were to look at someone who was interested in making more money, but they believed things like: “money can’t buy happiness” and “money is the root to all evil.”, can you see how this person would have a difficult time creating large amounts of money? Every time they got themselves on the right track, something would kick in at the unconscious level that said “STOP THAT”. “You want to be happy, and you are not a bad person, so stay away from that evil money.” That unconscious programming would stop the positive actions that were gener- ating the money, and force this person to start all over again. Sound familiar? However, once these limit- ing beliefs have been changed, and this person no longer sabo- tages their money making efforts, everything improves. Can you see how this single change can significantly increase their chances for creating wealth in their life? There are many effective ways to change limiting beliefs, one easy and fun way is to imag- ine yourself as a child, before you held any of your limiting beliefs. See yourself at that time when anything was possible. Allow yourself to feel the experience deep inside that says you can achieve anything you choose. Now bring your attention for- ward to the present while holding onto that belief that you can achieve anything you set your mind too. Notice how you feel. Also notice how you feel about your future. What a simple approach to changing your des- tiny. All based on using the posi- tive feelings you have already experienced at some point in your life. You may need to repeat this exercise several times before you feel comfortable holding onto you new belief, but it is definitely worth the effort. Now notice how you approach your goals in a dif- ferent way. How you feel differ- ent about achieving your goals. And most importantly, notice how that self talk going on inside your head is far more encourag- ing. Practice this approach in all areas that you feel are limiting your advancement, and enjoy how your results change to reflect your new empowering beliefs.

The Monarchs pre- vailed in the battle of undefeated teams 29-16. St. Mary runs up early lead on way to 29-16 win over Henry Street BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —The St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs football team overcame its share of adversity in grounding the Henry Street High School Hawks and main- taining its perfect record. Two early St. Mary touch- downs put the Hawks on their heels and paved the way for a 29-16 victory in Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics football league action at the Pickering school Thursday after- noon. The Monarchs were ham- pered from the start of the clash between the two undefeated (3- 0) clubs as running backs Ryaan McMillan and Justin Malik were injured and didn’t play in the pivotal contest. Meanwhile, head coach Gordon Judges fell ill just before game time and was taken to hospital. “The team came together un- believably well. They played their hearts out,” said assistant coach Steve Dugal, who filled in for Judges. “Our confidence level grew quickly (after the opening touchdowns). If we got scored on right off the bat it would have been a different game.” After the running game failed to pay dividends in the first few plays, Monarchs’ quarterback Erik Glavic went to work in the air to find wide receiver Ryan D’Souza in the end zone for a 25-yard strike. Later in the quar- ter, Glavic again found D’Souza, this time over the middle for a 55-yard pass-and-run play to put the Monarchs in flight at 14-0. The Glavic-D’Souza combi- nation continued to fly in the third quarter when they hooked up for a third touchdown, this time covering about 30 yards and resulting in a 22-8 lead. Hawks’head coach Pat Puck- nell said a couple factors added up to the Whitby school’s first defeat. “We’ve had an easy schedule and they’re a tough team. They were more prepared than we were. They executed and we did- n’t. They scored so quickly and so early in the game and that had never happened to us before and our guys got deflated. It took us a half of football to recover,” ex- plained Pucknell. Dugal noted the key to the victory was the Monarchs’abili- ty to use the pass effectively after the running game proved ineffective in the early going. He explained coach Judges’ pre- game preparation revealed the Hawks’inability to stop the pass in previous games. “The game plan was to run it up the middle until they stopped us. But, we knew we could beat them by passing. Gord (Judges) does an excellent job of analysing the defence and of- fence (of the opposition) and our game plan worked,” noted Dugal. James Judges scored the other St. Mary touchdown. Kicker Dane Okrasa was good on all four convert attempts. St. Mary also earned a point on a touchback. Meanwhile, Mike Weir and Jamie Cheevers scored the Henry Street touchdowns. Neil Hubley converted both. The Hawks also scored a two-point safety. St. Mary’s next game is against the Bowmanville High School Redmen Friday after- noon. Meanwhile, Henry Street plays the Dunbarton High School Spartans at the Pickering school Thursday afternoon. Football Monarchs win battle of undefeated Thanksgiving bountiful for Dolphins’ squads Tykes, peewees have touchdowns, defence to thank for football wins DURHAM —The Ajax-Pickering Dolphins football teams took two of three games from the host Markham Raiders on Thanksgiving Monday. In the tyke game, the Dolphins were off and running from the first play as fullback Florian Schlosser scored a touchdown early in the open- ing quarter on the way to a 29-0 win. This was followed by two touchdowns by running back Myles Daly in the second quarter. The final touchdown was pounded up the middle by full- back David West. Offensive lineman Matt Blum, Kyle Debellotte, Malcolm McColl, Tyler Harding and Greg Sheremeta dominated throughout the game and were the offensive stars. Kicker Gian- carlo Amenta, long-snapper Tyler Harding and holder Daly had their best showing yet completing three of four convert attempts. Rookie quarter- back Jesse Kelly had a strong game in his first start of the season. Corner- back Chris Mueller, defensive lineman Jeff McIlravey, and linebacker Collin Lee were defensive stars, although the entire defence played a solid game. Meanwhile, the Dolphins’ atoms played a solid second half, however, it wasn’t enough to overcome a 25-0 lead that Markham built up in the first half on the way to a 33-12 win. The atoms came out firing in the second half, with defensive lineman Huntley Richards scoring a defensive touchdown and quarterback David Priestman another. Travis Thomas and Mark Fedosen cleared the way with good solid blocking. When called upon, Michael Portener made excel- lent plays on defence. The Markham victory set up a pos- sible semifinal match between the Dolphins and the Raiders this Nov. 11. The two sides have played three times this year, with the Dolphins winning the first 32-6 and the Raiders winning the second 33-16. Offensive lineman Alexander Ko who, despite being sick, dressed for the game, as he wanted to be on the sidelines to encourage his teammates. Meanwhile, the Dolphins’ peewees improved their league record to 5-3 with a narrow 21-20 victory. Ben Schembri, Dan West and Kyle Exume scored the Dolphins’touchdowns. Dan West kicked an extra point and Ryan Benjamin a caught a pass for a two- point conversion.

Ajax-Pickering won its di- vision by defeating Sun Coun- ty, of the Windsor area, 6-2, the Buffalo Regals 5-0 and tying the Michigan Ice Dogs 1-1. The Raiders defeated Sudbury 5-2 in the quarter-fi- nals and Detroit Little Cae- sar’s 5-2 in the semifinals. The Thanksgiving tourna- ment completed an ambitious nine-game exhibition schedule for the Raiders’ peewees — plus their own Early Bird Tournament— as they prepare for their Eastern ‘AAA’ league opener in York-Simcoe against the Express Saturday. In exhibition play, the Raiders lost to the Toronto Marlboros 7-3, tied and beat Burlington 2-2 and 7-3 respec- tively, lost to Oakville 7-5, beat Oshawa 7-3, tied Claring- ton 2-2, lost to the Toronto Red Wings 10-1 and beat and tied Wexford by 5-3 and 4-4 scores, respectively. At the Raiders’ tournament, the peewees lost 4-3 to the Don Mills Flyers and 2-0 to Quinte. The team’s lone win came by a 2-0 count over Nia- gara Falls. Team members are Eric Nottbeck, Sean Morris, Michael Carey, James Jarvis, Blake Coultice, Nick Holm- berg, Steven Shanks, Cameron Bursey, Drew Stark, John Har- rington, Marcus Carroll, Bren- dan Hann, Joshua Pritchard, Stephen Kouffis, Nicholas Mainelli and David Johnson. Juveniles short on spares, but big on goals in 6-2 win PICKERING —A short-staffed Pickering Pan- thers juvenile ‘AA’ rep hockey team managed to pull out a 6-2 victory over Georgina in recent league action. Starting the game with seven players and having one player ejected midway through the first period, the remaining Pickering players displayed outstanding grit for the remainder of the game to earn the win. Brandon Taylor paced the juveniles with three goals, while Mike Dawson counted two and Jon Walsh netted one. Assists went to Tony Mc- Mulkin, Craig Lillie, Steve Burnett, Taylor, Dawson and Walsh. Matt Richard provided excellent goaltending, mak- ing 29 saves, while Dave Lewis was solid defensively.
