All systems are go Federal regulator grants restart of four Pickering reactors BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer PICKERING —The green light has been given and by next spring, the switch will be flipped to restart the first of four laid-up reactors at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. On Monday, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) approved an amend- ment to the operating licence for the older, ‘A’side of the sta- tion. The four active reactors on the ‘B’ side aren’t affected by the announcement. Bob Strickert, Pickering site vice-president, said Unit 4 will be the first reactor to be restart- ed, adding it should be produc- ing electricity by April or May. The other three units will come online in six-month in- tervals. The amended licence is valid until June 30, 2003. The ‘A’ side was put into a laid-up state, with its fuel re- maining in the reactors, in 1997 following a scathing re- port on nuclear operations by the former operator, Ontario Hydro. In 1999, the reconstituted Ontario Power Generation ap- proached the CNSC for ap- proval to restart the ‘A’reactors and was ordered to complete an environmental assessment (EA) outlining how the reac- tors would be refurbished prior Lots of talk, no action on Johnson Crowd of Pickering residents call for action on road work BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Neigh- bours, environmentalists and other interested residents had their say Monday night on the actions of Rick Johnson at his north Pickering property. More than 150 people filled Pickering council chambers, most complaining of damages done to their own and public property by the Ward 3 regional councillor when he cleared trees and constructed roadways along both Sideline 8 and Uxbridge Pickering Town Line in order to access a landlocked piece of property he owns. Councillors received a confi- dential city solicitor’s report on the matter before the public por- tion of Monday’s council meet- Security, tax cuts top MPP’s economic statement Flaherty gives money to poor, takes from surplus to balance budget BY CINDY UPSHALL Staff Writer DURHAM ––With stormy economic times on the horizon it seems only appropriate that Tuesday’s economic statement created waves in the legislature. The statement on how On- tario will navigate the choppy economic waters caused by the events of Sept. 11 was delayed for an hour by opposition MPPs, who argued it was a full-blown budget disguised as a fiscal update. When Finance Minister Jim Flaherty finally began to deliv- er the speech, it was often in- audible, drowned out by heck- ling from opposition MPPs. Mr. Flaherty, Whitby-Ajax MPP, was halted twice as the Speaker Gary Carr tried to re- gain control of the legislature. But despite the drama, the statement contained little new information, with most of the highlights leaked to the media earlier this week. There was no decrease in sales tax as advocated by some opposition members, however Mr. Flaherty did announce leg- islation that would see cuts to personal, corporate and capital taxes take effect Oct. 1, instead of Jan. 1 2002. He estimated this change would result in an additional $176 million for On- tario’s economy this year. Mr. Flaherty said Ontario is still on track for a balanced budget in 2001/2002, but it will be achieved using $300 million of the $1 billion reserve fund from the spring budget, leaving $700 million in reserve. Although he announced the government’s intention to table its fourth consecutive balanced budget, it will be more difficult to achieve. Forecasters estimate Ontario’s economy will grow by a mere 1.1 per cent this year and 1.3 per cent next year. It’s a dramatic drop from earlier pre- dictions of 2.3 per cent and 3.6 per cent. Mr. Flaherty made no promises for future increases in health care spending saying “to School supporters fight for a future Parents, students plead with trustees to rethink closures BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Roughly 100 parents and students, many carrying signs, pressed to keep their respective schools open Monday night. They came largely from Epsom Public School in Scu- gog and Valley View Public School in Pickering. However representatives from R.A. Hutchison (Whitby), Can- nington and H.W. Knight (Brock) and Parkside (Ajax) public schools also attended the Durham District School Board’s standing committee meeting. The board’s draft accom- modation plan sets a three- year school construction schedule in the region and proposes closing those schools and Lord Durham Public School in Ajax. Representatives from the Brock schools were unique in that they want the board to follow through with the plan, which calls for the closure of their schools and building of a new facility. Everyone else spoke against the slated clo- sures. Valley View parent Karen Wianecki said the board had neither considered many de- velopments proposed for that school’s area, nor the recent provincial government land swap decision that could see the nearby Seaton area be- come a populous community. She added the board has “virtually ignored” the histor- ical significance of the school, which former prime minister John Diefenbaker once attended. Speaking on behalf of Epsom, Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt described the tiny fa- cility as “one of the finest schools in the province”. The large turnout of resi- dents, many of whom silently held aloft signs that read, ‘We Are Epsom School,’ indicates people care about Epsom and its community, he said. Parkside parent Sharon Pyne said “there is a small group that will hopefully in- crease in size” to oppose that school’s closure. “We are a resurging com- BOB STRICKERT ‘We answered questions frankly and openly.’ IRENE KOCK ‘The ‘A’side shouldn’t be restarted.

Ms. Pyne expressed a concern over kids having to travel along busy Harwood Avenue and Bayly Street to a converted Exeter High School, where 200 kids would transfer. If the provincial funding formula is forcing the board to close schools, Ms. Pyne suggested parents would be willing to help the board press for changes to the system. R.A. Hutchison parent Scott Tem- pleton said he is concerned students would have to cross the Garden and Dundas streets intersection, the sec- ond busiest in the region, to attend Leslie McFarlane Public School. The school’s population had de- clined by 15 students, endangering its existence, because the board removed a special-education class, said Mr. Templeton. “To me it almost looks like it was set up that way to have the 15 taken out to lower our numbers,” he said. to firing them up again. Earlier this year, the CNSC agreed with the EA conclusion that restarting the reactors wouldn’t harm the envi- ronment, provided the modifications were in place. Following the EA ap- proval, OPG asked to have its ‘A’-side operating licence amended so the units could produce electricity. “Basically, after two to three years of the environmental assessment and followed by the most recent hearings, we’re now clear to what our require- ments are to bring the ‘A’side back on line,” Mr. Strickert said. “We were reasonably confident we were on the right track. We were able to make our case to bring the units back to service.” During the hearings “we answered questions frankly and openly” and felt “we were doing the right thing”, Mr. Strickert noted. However, Irene Kock, a nuclear consultant with Sierra Club of Cana- da, calls the amendment “an unfortu- nate decision. “As we felt with this case all along, the CNSC isn’t protecting the public’s interest at all. We’ve seen through this case where significant safety issues aren’t being adequately addressed.” She pointed to the possibility of a severe accident not being considered during the EA. “The ‘A’ side shouldn’t be restart- ed. It’s too old and dangerous and it’s not needed,” Ms. Kock said. She noted that, especially after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, “There should be a lot more focus on safety planning. The regulator didn’t require it at all. They’re saying the Province should get its act together.” The licence amendment requires OPG to complete improvements and upgrades specified by the CNSC. Only then can OPG get approval to restart each unit or before each in- crease in reactor power. The utility would also have to re- port on the progress of the return to service every six months and before restarting a reactor. There are 76 requirements OPG must com- plete prior to restarting the re- actors, said Mr. Strickert, adding modifications and maintenance work will total about $1.3 bil- lion. “That’s when it’s all complete and all four units are operating. We’re one-third of the way along. The upfront en- gineering and planning work is complete. “A lot of ma- terial is on site,” he said. OPG wants to operate the units until 2013 at which point a de- cision will be made on their fu- ture. If the utility wants to contin- ue running the units, another EA would have to be conducted, he said. “That deci- sion will be made in 2010 or 2012,” Mr. Strickert said. The four ‘A’ units can pro- duce up to 10 per cent of Ontario’s electricity needs, he noted, which would power a city half the size of Toronto.

Pay particular attention to the hose clamps, and make sure that those are all tight. If there is any give in the tension of your belts, or if they have threads hanging off them, get them checked at once. • Check all of your lights, and replace burned- our or dimmed bulbs. Make sure that the lenses are clean. • While it makes sense to have your tires rotated every 5,000 miles, you may want to work your maintenance schedule to where it’s done before fall and winter weather. If you’ve been driving on SUV in four-wheel drive off- road through the summer, the tires may show wear at a faster rate. Also, check the stems and caps, and don’t forget to inspect your spare for proper inflation. • Check the fluid levels in your battery, and clear off any corrosion from the posts and cables. Remember: Always wear protective eyewear and gloves when working on your battery. • Make sure that your emergency kit is still up- to-date: be sure to check the batteries in flashlights or emergency road lights. • If you’re a do-it-yourself, a cool fall day is the perfect time to change your oil and oil filter, air filter and windshield wiper blades. • Your car’s heating system may be the best friend you have this summer, so have it checked out professionally. Fall is the time to have the cooling system flushed and refilled with the proper amount of antifreeze, depending on conditions in your area. • Make sure you winter storm survival kit is ready. You should have blankets, flares, a flashlight (check the batteries!), a small shovel, an emergency sign or cloth to tie on the antenna, a few bottles of drinking water, some snacks and perhaps some sand or kitty litter to provide transaction in snow. Of course, the best thing to carry is a cell phone. PHONE ORDERS ACCEPTED rrs TM FINANCING AVAILABLE WE MAKE ANY SIZE MATTRESS SET UP AVAILABLE DISPOSAL OF OLD SET AVAILABLE FREE 6 MO.

The targets not reached in September were the nuclear performance index and the ca- pability factor, the same as in August. The monthly ‘report card’ is released by the corporation in an attempt to make itself ac- countable to the public. September report card re- sults were as follows, for the first nine months of 2001, ex- cept for measurements that are quarterly, as indicated: • In an index reflecting 11 industry standard performance measures set by the World As- sociation of Nuclear Operators (for the third quarter of 2001) — 75.2 per cent, worse than OPG’s target of 76.8 per cent, and short of the industry benchmark of 96 per cent. It is, however, a 0.3-point in- crease over the second quarter of 2001; • Public safety levels 1 and 2 events reportable to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission — none, better- ing the year-to-date target of three. A Level 1 event is defined as highly significant and a Level 2 event is defined as sig- nificant; • ‘Reactor trips’ or the number of unplanned auto- matic reactor shutdowns per 7,000 hours — 0.75, better than the OPG target and in- dustry standard of one; • Capability factor or the amount of energy capable of being produced per month as a percentage of perfect perfor- mance — 73.8 per cent, worse than the OPG goal of 75.5 per cent and below the industry median of 90.6 per cent; • Radiation dose to the pub- lic from both the ‘A’ and ‘B’ stations — 4.4 microsieverts, an international unit of dose. This betters OPG’s third-quar- ter target of 7.5 and is signifi- cantly below the regulatory limit of 1,000; • Major and moderate pre- ventable spills — zero, meet- ing the OPG goal of zero; • Industrial Safety Accident Rate, the number of accidents per 200,000 work hours that result in lost work time, re- stricted-work injuries or fatal- ities — Pickering ‘A’ — 0.22 and Pickering ‘B’— 0.2. Both are better than the OPG target of 0.3, but above the industry median of 0.1; and • Accident severity rate, or, the number of days lost for in- juries per 200,000 hours worked — Pickering ‘A’ — 1.3 and Pickering ‘B’ — 0.26. Both are better than the OPG goal of 3.4 days. OPG states performance listed worse than target is not an indication the reactors are unsafe. Hospital auxiliary marks 50 years of making a difference BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer DURHAM —They are the men, women and students clad in mint green coats seemingly everywhere around the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hos- pital. They are the volunteers working tirelessly to raise funds for the hospital through special events, at the 4477 Nearly New Shop in Pickering Village, the hospital coffee and gift shops and the hospital equipment lottery booths. They are members of the Ajax and Pickering General Hospital Auxiliary, and they have been a big part of the local hospital since first meet- ing 50 years ago today on Nov. 7, 1951. Today, the auxiliary cele- brates its golden anniversary with a celebration and open house from 4 to 9 p.m. in the HMS Ajax Room at the Ajax Community Centre. Past and present auxiliary members, hospital officials, special guests and community leaders will all be on hand cel- ebrating the auxiliary’s legacy and the public is invited to at- tend. In addition, several volun- teers will be presented with outstanding service awards and the auxiliary will be making a special cheque presentation to the hospital. Current auxiliary president Ella Joel is glad the hospital is choosing to recognize the spe- cial contributions made by this group of volunteers, consider- ing the burden they lift from the hospital’s budget. “If the hospital had to pay, even as little as minimum wage for the 46,000 volunteer hours we give every year, the cost would be tremendous,” she said. “We are keeping health costs down while serving a purpose for the volunteers as well as the hospital.” Ms. Joel said the auxiliary members are “not all retired people” either, as the hours are performed by more than 250 adults and approximately 45 students, making beds, helping out in the X-ray and day surgery departments, and “all over” the other “must areas” throughout the local hospital. She said many students get involved because the auxiliary helps set up bursaries and scholarships for those students looking to get a leg up in cov- ering the financial costs of school, while also gaining valuable experience towards a career in the health-care indus- try. Ms. Joel said she is proud of the work she and other volun- teers have done over her 30 years with the auxiliary and noted they are always looking for more “committed” individ- uals to help out.

But, in a slowing economy, we can no longer afford to do so. “To be blunt, I hold out little hope that the federal Minister of Finance will make the necessary financial commitment to health care,” he said. The finance minister formally announced plans to assist low and middle income working families this holiday season by giving a one-time payment of $100 for each child under seven years old. “It is our goal to get these payments in the hands of fami- lies in time for December holi- day shopping,” he said. Approxi- mately 367,000 children would benefit from the payments. “I think it’s wonderful,” says Tammy Rogers, community co- ordinator for the Durham Child Poverty Task Force. “A lot of these families will be very happy to receive any extra money at this time of year for winter cloth- ing, and if there is any left over, for Christmas shopping.” According to the task force’s 2001 report on child poverty in the region, more than one in seven Durham children live in a poor family. “There are about 1,000 fami- lies at this time,” she says. The number denotes families earning low wages as well as families de- pending on social assistance, Ontario Works, for their income. Although the one-time, tax- free payment proposed by Min- ister Flaherty yesterday to assist only lower income working fam- ilies, the task force’s statistics say 75 per cent of poor people’s income does come from wages, not welfare. In Durham Region, of the 16,288 persons receiving On- tario Works as of November 2000, more than half were chil- dren. Minister Flaherty also an- nounced the government will spend $30 million on anti-terror- ism and emergency measures, including assistance for munici- palities in community emer- gency planning, as well as addi- tional training for police, fire- fighters and ambulance workers.

We’re at durhamregion.com City to mull over report on Johnson ing, but there was no public debate, nor were any of the recommendations in the re- port discussed or voted on publicly. Coun. Johnson, who al- ready faces legal action from the Township of Uxbridge in regards to the matter, did not address council or any of the accusations and has not made any comment on the issue since early September when he claimed he was given per- mission to clear the roads by Pickering’s chief administra- tive officer, Tom Quinn, who subsequently denied giving permission. Mayor Wayne Arthurs told the anxious crowd Mon- day that council would defer consideration of the report and any recommendations for two weeks in order to give the City’s solicitor and councillors an opportunity to also consider Monday night’s public deputations. Much of the public outcry dealt with issues like the fair and equal treatment of Coun. Johnson considering his po- sition with council and as chairman of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Au- thority, the perception that he may have abused his position of power, and whether or not he had permission from City officials to do the work. Many called for the City to take legal action against the councillor, release the city solicitor’s report to the public and demand he restore the property to its original state. “(Coun. Johnson) did not seek approval from Uxbridge or Pickering for his bulldoz- ing activities,” claimed Bill Wilder, who also claimed Coun. Johnson is responsible for $25,000 in damages to his fence, which borders the property. Meanwhile, there was a small minority in the crowd who proposed the City let Coun. Johnson have his roads, including Norrine Hill, representing the Clare- mont Seniors. Ms. Hill said Coun. John- son “should be able to have access to his property”. However, the overwhelm- ing majority felt the roads, and the rest of the property should be restored to their original state and that Coun. Johnson should foot the bill for any damage to the roads and any other property. Sue Polanyi, whose West- ney Road property abuts the Johnson lot, claimed work continued over the August long weekend after a stop work order had been issued by the Township of Uxbridge. Council gave no indication as to what recom- mendations were in the solic- itor’s report, but is expected to make a decision at its next meeting Monday, Nov. 19. BILL WILDER Claimed his fence was damaged. CITY from page A1 Valid until Nov 12th or while quantities last. Not all items available with delivery or on-line orders.

(Tickets available) All proceeds go to World Trade Center relief fund Ontarians would love to know what rank and file Progressive Conservatives really think as they prepare to choose a successor to Premier Mike Harris. However, the outgoing premier is doing his best to hush them up. The Tories have just finished a series of meetings, the last under Mr. Harris, at which party mem- bers were given an opportunity to discuss policies and suggest changes. The meetings included no fewer than 18 sessions at which all major activities of government were considered, including fi- nance, taxes, health, education and the environment. News media were barred from these discussions (as they have been at all policy debates under Mr. Harris) with meetings held behind doors guarded as closely as if George W. Bush and his ad- visers were holed up planning their assault on the Taliban. The media were allowed into only such innocuous events as a hollow welcome, several recep- tions and a speech by Mr. Harris in which he said he is doing a great job and loves his wife. The premier kept out the news media because he did not want any views grassroots members have that are different from his own reported to the public. He would be worried, for ex- ample, that some of the few Red Tories the party still has might say it went too far in cutting welfare benefits by more than 20 cent in 1995 and not adding a cent since. He also would not want his far- right supporters complaining he has been too slow in privatizing and lost the enthusiasm he had for it before he became premier. Mr. Harris does not want any opinions to filter through to the public that would suggest his party is not fully behind him or uncertain where it is going, thus providing ammunition for his op- ponents. If media were allowed in, grassroots members who have criticisms would feel emboldened because they might be reported and this would put some pressure on the party hierarchy to take no- tice. If the criticisms do not become known publicly, the hierarchy can simply ignore anything it does not like and push it under the rug. There were times when rank and file Tories were allowed to have their say in public at their party meetings, the last being under William Davis, premier from 1971-’85 and they grabbed it with both hands. Mr. Davis oddly was renowned for making many important deci- sions, such as providing full fund- ing to Roman Catholic high schools, without consulting his MPPs, leading Mr. Harris once to complain Mr. Davis “used to come into caucus and tell us what we had all decided to do”. But Mr. Davis also held gener- al meetings at which party mem- bers from across the province dis- cussed policies and the media were allowed in and reported them. At one meeting, rank and file Tories spoke and voted publicly on more than 150 resolutions sub- mitted by their riding associa- tions. The party grassroots wanted wide-ranging deterrent fees in medicare to restrain costs, just as big an issue today. The premier has repeatedly denied he plans such fees, although he is felt pri- vately to favour them and he would not want any in his party trying to push him into them. Those earlier rank and file To- ries passed a resolution asking their government to bring in workfare, requiring able-bodied welfare recipients to do some work for their benefits. Mr. Davis would never do this and once demoted a minister, Gordon Walker, who proposed it, and it was left to Mr. Harris to bring in workfare two decades later. Grassroots Tories at one meet- ing passed a resolution complain- ing under Mr. Davis the ministry of labour had become a ministry for labour, because he strength- ened unions’ ability to organize and strike, which added fuel to the view of many in business that he treated it unfairly. They also demanded Mr. Davis never borrow except for capital spending, a stern rebuke when he repeatedly ran up record deficits to pay for expanding services. A premier who allows the views of party rank and file to be known obviously risks being em- barrassed and the grassroots To- ries who have lost this right will have difficulty winning it back.

I’m a non-smoker and know lung cancer is a major killer, but this second-hand smoke thing has never been proved. I actually choke more from walking the streets inhaling exhaust fumes, than when my friends are smok- ing beside me. Then, to have to listen to peo- ple whine about it when they’re shovelling grease down their throats, clogging their arteries and getting high cholesterol. And we know what that does. Pretty soon our world will be like movies in the future — black and white because we’ll have to put warning labels on everything from butter to sweets because it can all damage us. I think if you ban smoking in restaurants and bars, you should give the bar/restaurant owners the freedom to choose if they want non-smoking or just all smoking. This way a non-smoker wouldn’t go into a smoking-only restaurant would he? Yeah right. James Hibbert Government should force people to quit smoking To the editor: Re: ‘Smoking ban in Durham?’ Oct. 31. As a die-hard ‘reformed smoker’ I must agree with a ban on smoking in Durham restau- rants and bars. I quit smoking over two years ago and feel so much better for it, although now I still worry about the long-term effects it has had on my body. Quitting is just the beginning. Cancer could be inevitable, even though I am still a young person. I feel people must be made to not smoke because most can’t do it on their own. It is an extreme- ly addictive habit. Like putting heroin in front of an addict and expecting him not to take it — that’s how addictive it is. Oh, lots of people (smokers I mean) may gasp at that compari- son, but only because they are in the middle of their addiction right now and can’t see the reali- ties of it. It is your fundamental right to smoke if you so choose, but it shouldn’t be. It’s illegal to com- mit suicide and take your own life and by smoking you are doing just that, or at least con- tributing a helping hand. Businesses will survive. Has anyone gone to Toronto to eat? The restaurants are packed, with lineups and reservations still in order. If your business survives on customers that smoke, it will now survive on customers that want your product, not a place to sit and smoke.

His father owned and op- erated the Post Inn further east on Kingston until his death in 1837. The house was sold at auction to Tom Field in 1893. Arthur Field, grandson of Tom, lived in the house for many years. He was a photographer and is remembered for his pictures of the local farms expro- priated by the Canadian government for Defence In- dustries Limited during the Second World War. The house remained with the family until it was sold in 1987. It was successfully incorporated into the Post Hill com- plex at Chapman Drive and Kingston and is used as a recreation facility for seniors.

Give us your opinion We’re looking for 13 columnists to help shape our editorial page in 2002 Ontario Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s economic state- ment yesterday was a bit of a departure from previous finan- cial reports tabled by the provincial Progressive Conserva- tives. Out were the broad-based and substantial tax cuts we have come to expect in the past from Mr. Flaherty, the Whitby- Ajax MPP, and his predecessor, Ernie Eves. In are cheques for the neediest families in Ontario as Christmas approaches, ad- ditional funding for provincial security in the new fight against terrorism and a multimillion-dollar bid to boost tourism in Ontario. As well, Mr. Flaherty came through on an Oct. 1 promise to accelerate targeted tax cuts originally slated to come into effect Jan. 1, 2002. Welcome to Ontario, post Sept. 11. And, while Mr. Flaherty’s economic update did little to ad- dress spiralling health and education costs in Ontario (other than challenging the feds to assist with funding), it does pro- vide a response and direction to Ontario’s place in the battle against international terrorism. Certainly Canada’s most pop- ulous province must have a clear policy and the necessary funding to join this ‘new war’. And, in the context of Mr. Flaherty’s speech yesterday, it’s important to connect his voice with that of Liberal MP John McCallum, who spoke to Durham business leaders here last month and noted a recession is already taking root in Canada. Mr. McCallum, former chief economist with the Royal Bank of Canada and parliamentary secretary to Finance Min- ister Paul Martin, confirmed our worst fears, but noted the economic fundamentals of today are far different than those of the early 1990s when Canadians went through a deep and protracted economic recession. Consider: Interest rates are at 40-year lows (cut again last month by three-quarters of a per cent), inflation is within a manageable target range, government deficits have disap- peared, the housing market remains relatively strong and un- employment levels are comparatively low. Those elements point to a shorter, milder recession this time around. But, as Mr. McCallum pointed out and as Mr. Flaherty clearly noted yesterday, consumer confidence and spending will help tip the balance in our favour. If we are to continue spending — prudently — we con- tribute to a healthier economic outlook. If we stop spending, the terrorists claim victory. Mr. Flaherty was forthright and practical yesterday in his update, going so far as to ask Ontarians to start their Christ- mas shopping today. Even Mr. McCallum finds some light in the dark predictions of recession. The messages serve to boost confidence. We can help bolster the effort of governments by remaining confident too, by having faith in our own econom- ic fundamentals and by spending as we normally would. We can endure the next few months, rough as they may be, and emerge from the other end in a better economic position. It’s up to each and every one of us.

The injury-riddled Panthers played three games on the weekend and, de- spite solid efforts from a severely de- pleted roster, the net result was pre- dictable — a trio of losses. All told, the Pickering juniors have dropped five consecutive OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League games. As a consequence, the Panthers are doing a freefall in the standings, cur- rently tied for sixth with Oshawa in the nine-team South Conference standings with a mark of 6-12-2-1 for 15 points. The Panthers ended the weekend in Vaughan Monday night, losing 3-2. Pickering stayed astride of the Vipers, despite being reduced to two forward lines and three defencemen for the last two periods. Vaughan scored the game winner late in the second and then held off the Panthers in the third. The weekend woes started Friday night, when the Panthers dropped a 5-2 decision to the Thornhill Rattlers at the Pickering Recreation Complex. They continued Sunday when Pickering was defeated for the fifth time this season by the first-place St. Michael’s Buzzers, this time 4-2 at the complex. The Panthers, noted head coach Bill Purcell, are currently hanging on by a NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, November 7, 2001 PAGE B1 P Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER NOVEMBER 7, 2001 Monarchs to face Henry Street in LOSSA final in Oshawa Saturday Injuries keep piling up on Panthers Please recycle this newspaper RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING ––St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs’ Justin Malik (33) attempts to make an over-the-shoulder catch, but the ball slips past his fingertips during LOSSA football semifinal ac- tion against the Denis O’Connor Chargers Tuesday afternoon.

It’s a word that encapsulates the performance on the football field by the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs in the regional foot- ball semifinal game against the visit- ing Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School Chargers of Ajax Tuesday afternoon. The Monarchs booked their tickets to the Lake Ontario Secondary Schools Athletics final after crushing DO’C 41-0 in a thorough victory for the still-undefeated St. Mary squad. The Monarchs were all but unstop- pable in posting a 24-0 half-time lead and kept on rolling to the blowout win. The Chargers, meanwhile, were un- able to mount any form of offence, handcuffed by a larger St. Mary defen- sive line, which kept the DO’C of- fence, led by quarterback James Leck- ey, to only a handful of first downs. The Monarchs play their old neme- sis, Whitby’s Henry Street High School Hawks, for the LOSSA ‘A’title at the Oshawa Civic Stadium Saturday at 2:30 p.m. The Hawks dispatched the Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas to the sidelines with a 46-11 win in the other LOSSA semifinal game in Whit- CORRECTION NOTICE Readers Choice Winners In the October 28, 2001 edition of the News Advertiser the following winners were not represented ~ Best Furniture Store ~ Leons ~ Best Music Instruction ~ Legend Music Enterprise ~ Best Music Store ~ Legend Music Enterprise ~ Best Caterer ~ Mainly Cheese AJAX NEWEST PUB The Portly Piper 235 Bayly St. W., Ajax 905-426-9535 November 1st - 4th Live Entertainment THURSDAY NIGHT – “DEUCE” FRIDAY & SATURDAY “ANOTHER ROUND” SUNDAY - “RAGWEED” Come join us for good food & entertainment!

Not intended to solicit properties currently listed for sale. DURHAM REGION - Divorce is rarely easy and often means a lot of difficult decisions. One of the most important decisions is what to do about the house. In the midst of the heavy emotional and financial turmoil, what you need most is some non-emotional, straightforward, specific information and answers. Once you know how a divorce affects you home, your mortgage and taxes, critical decisions are easier. Neutral, third party information can help you make logical, rather than emotional, decisions. Probably the first decision is whether you want to continue living in the house. Will the familiar surroundings bring you comfort and emotional security, or unpleasant memories? Do you want to minimize change by staying where you are, or sell your home and move to a new place that offers a new start? Only you can answer those questions, but there will almost certainly be some financial repercussions to your decision process. What can you afford? Can you manage the old house on your new budget? Is refinancing possible? Or is it better to sell and buy? How much house can you buy on your new budget? To help you know what questions you should ask and how to arrive at the right answer for your specific situation, a FREE special report has been prepared by industry experts entitled “Divorce: What You Need to Know About Your House, Your Mortgage and Taxes”.

In a loss last weekend to the powerhouse St. Mike’s Buzzers, Hugli found the net and notched his second goal of the season. That’s no small feat, considering St. Mike’s leads the league with 17 wins in the 200-2001 campaign. Meanwhile, the Panthers look ahead to a tough schedule and hope to improve on the recent spate of losses. P PAGE B2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, November 7, 2001 thread with so many injuries and so few bodies to plug in to replace the wounded. “We have absolutely no spares,” noted Pur- cell. “I can’t fault these kids who are playing. They’re doing their best and we’re still hanging in there. We’re not getting blown out by scores like 7-0, but that’s not the point, we’re not win- ning.” The Panthers were without veterans Dan Schofield, Mike Cuzzolino,Alex Greig and Alex Pavloski for the weekend due to a variety of ail- ments. During the course of Monday’s game, forward Colin Jennings and defencemen Sean Bradley and Kyle Aitken were knocked out dur- ing the second and third periods due to injuries. “We have so many guys out, I’m starting to lose track. Our defence right now is completely dilapidated,” said Purcell, who noted the team couldn’t bring up any affiliated players for the weekend due to other commitments. After falling behind Vaughan 2-0 in the open- ing 20 minutes Monday, the Panthers rebounded to score twice in the second on goals by Ryan Taylor and Jay Grant. Vaughan’s Joe DiBiase, however, scored a power-play marker with 36 seconds remaining in the period to record what proved to be the game winner. Brent Chandler, Garett Winder, Paul McFar- land and Bradley drew assists for the Panthers. In Sunday’s loss to St. Mike’s, the Panthers put forth a solid effort only to be thwarted once again by the powerhouse Buzzers. With St. Mike’s leading 3-2 in the third, the Panthers couldn’t get the equalizer and the Buzzers added an empty-net goal for their 17th win of the sea- son. Mike Alexiou and Mitch Hugli, with his sec- ond goal of the season, scored. Assisting were Aitken with two, Chandler and Taylor. Against third-place Thornhill, the Panthers’ trailed 3-2 entering the third period. The Rattlers, however, scored twice more, including one on the power play, to seal the deal. McFarland and Hugli scored, with assists to Winder and Chandler. The Panthers host the Oshawa Legionaires this Friday at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7:30 p.m. The evening, dubbed ‘PHA Night’ allows minor hockey players and their family members to get in for $5. On Sunday afternoon, the Panthers tangle with the Ajax Axemen in Ajax at 3 p.m. Monarchs still undefeated after big semifinal win by Tuesday. The LOSSA champion will move on to the Metro Bowl quarter-finals at York University Nov. 18. While the top-ranked and undefeated (8-0) St. Mary Monarchs won their only regular-sea- son meeting with the Hawks (7-1) handily 29- 16 on Oct. 11, St. Mary head coach Gordon Judges is nonetheless expecting a battle for the coveted LOSSA title. “It’s going to be a gigantic football game,” notes Judges. “They are an excellent and very tough football team and they are very well coached. May the best team win.” As for the game against DO’C, Judges ex- plains owning the line of scrimmage was the team’s primary concern. “It was our feeling that if we could win the line of scrimmage both offensively and defen- sively and take DO’C’s skilled players out of the game we would have an excellent chance to win the football game. That was our plan and it worked.” Although losing to a strong St. Mary team was disappointing, DO’C coach Mike O’Brien was upbeat about the team’s performance this season. He noted that the team was 0-7 a year ago, and progressed as far as the ‘A’ semifinal game this year. “From last year to this year, we’ve got a lot of positives. We’re upbeat about getting to the semifinals this year,” says O’Brien. Ryaan McMillan and Kareem McLaren put the Monarchs up to stay by a 14-0 count in the first quarter. Early in the second quarter, a St. Mary fumble recovery put the Monarchs first- and-10 on the DO’C 33-yard line, leading to a five-yard run up the middle by Justin Malik to increase the St. Mary lead to 21-0. In the last play of the second quarter J.P. Lambert nailed the first of two field goals, this one from about 20 yards out. McMillan, with his second touchdown of the game, and Mike Leksinski scored second-half majors for St. Mary. Place kicker Dan Okrasa was perfect on all five convert attempts.

Champs never hit the Brakes AJAX — Defending champion Toron- to Brake was back on the court and back in the win col- umn as the Ajax Men’s Basketball League tipped off for another season Wednes- day night.

Newcomer George Dixon’s 15 points led Chatt’s while Lin- coln Ram- keesoon chipped in with 12. The best game of the night saw Dick- son Printing hang on for a 44- 41 win over Top Shelf Sports Bar. With some poor shooting, Top Shelf, which led 26-19 at the half, allowed Dick- son’s to pull away in the sec- ond half. Howev- er, in the final two minutes, Dickson’s Frank Spagnuola con- verted only two of nine free throws, allowing Top Shelf to close an eight- point gap.

The game went from end to end with neither team gaining more than a two-point advan- tage. The bank used its height advantage to score inside, while Select used its speed and fast passes to find the outside shot. Kelly Stouffer and Michelle Klepadlo netted eight points each for the bankers. Erinn Lynch and Portia Vidal regis- tered eight apiece for Select. In the closing game, East Side Mario’s was easy 49-30 winners over a short-staffed Et Tu Caesar’s squad. East Side came out strong- ly and ran the fast break to hold a commanding lead at halftime.
