I would say, ‘Yet,’” said Dr. Romas Stas. Rouge Valley Health Sys- tem (RVHS) is currently re- examining its service deliv- ery at its sites in Ajax and at Centenary hospital in Scar- borough as part of its new strategic plan. Hospital ad- ministrators say they are only in the preliminary stages of discussing options for future services, and stress claims the Ajax hospital will be shut down are just ru- mours. However, medical staff at Ajax hospital have written a letter to the RVHS board in opposition to a set of options presented to them last month, said Dr. Stas. At that meeting, nurses and doctors were told the corporation was considering moving all inpatient care to Centenary and turning the Ajax site into a day surgery hospital, he said. Dr. Stas has had a family practice in Ajax for 30 years and up until two years ago, served on the RVHS board. A former president of RVHS medical staff, he argues there is only room for expansion, not cuts, at the Ajax hospital, due to the growing popula- tion of Durham Region. “It’s not like it is on the Centenary side. We don’t have a Scarborough East or a Scarborough Grace nearby to fall back on,” he said. “If you look at an older person, who falls and breaks their hip in Ajax but can only get treatment at Centenary. You can’t expect the spouse to go to Centenary. For one thing, there is no transportation.” Although RVHS has stated it remains committed to hav- ing emergency care, pedi- atrics and obstetrics in Ajax, Dr. Stas argues dismantling other services is the first step Hospital prognosis concerns local doc British invasion PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Dunbarton High School’s senior rugby squad played host to the Broxbourne School Rugby First Club from Herfordshire, England.

Too many dogs on property where Pickering girl was mauled BByy CCrryyssttaall CCrriimmii Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — The owner of an Uxbridge property where an 11-year-old Pickering girl was viciously mauled by two dogs Sunday was just days away from a second visit by a bylaw officer for keeping too many of the animals. The Goodwood property owner, Bert Tindall, received notice Oct. 2 indicating hav- ing so many dogs is in con- travention with a Township bylaw, according to town clerk Walter Taylor. Jynnie Kent, 11 was visit- ing her grandmother, Heather Laverdiere, at the Tindall home when she tried to break up a fight between two of the nine dogs on the property at around 5 p.m., according to Durham Re- gional Police. The dogs, both male Dogue de Bordeauxs, French mastiffs, attacked the girl, leaving her with life- threatening injuries before Ms. Laverdiere was able to stop the dogs, named ‘Trav- eller’ and ‘Warrior,’ both weighing more than 100 pounds. Jynnie had severe bite wounds to her neck, groin, legs and stomach, po- lice said. She was airlifted to The Hospital for Sick Chil- dren in Toronto and under- went eight hours of emer- gency surgery and remains in serious but stable condi- tion in hospital. Jynnie lost three pints of blood and is in danger of losing her leg. Her father, Clark Kent said his daughter suffered 150 puncture wounds from the dogs. “They weren’t just biting her, they were eating her,” he said. “They ate much of her skin right off. Right down to the bone. “They are attempting to put a new artery into her leg, but it’s iffy,” he said. “One thing is for sure, if she lives, she will need a lot of plastic surgery, and she will un- doubtedly be severely Dog owner had been warned Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Evacuation averted BByy KKeeiitthh GGiilllliiggaann Staff Writer AAJJAAXX — An area in a one- mile radius of Ajax almost had to be evacuated Sunday because of truck fire on Hwy. 401. As it was, traffic through Pickering, Ajax and Whitby was snarled almost all day as the eastbound lanes of the 401 were closed for more than 12 hours. An eastbound tractor- trailer hauling a full load of 40,000 cubic feet of com- pressed hydrogen gas in cylinders flipped after hy- droplaning on water around 10 :30 a.m. The OPP reported the driver lost control while passing Harwood Avenue, hitting the temporary barri- er on the left side of the highway, careening over and hit the barrier on the right, then turning on its side, catching fire after flipping over. The driver, a North York man, managed to get out of the truck on his own. Traffic in both directions was diverted for several hours while Ajax firefighters worked to contain the blaze, said Deputy Chief Matt Pegg.

They help students learn and teachers teach. They raise money and get their hands dirty, putting shovels in the ground to improve or create a school garden, for example. To honour them, the Durham Dis- trict School Board held its first annu- al volunteer of distinction award cer- emony Monday night at Sinclair Sec- ondary School in Whitby. Board chairman Elizabeth Roy, other trustees and education director Craig Burch were on hand to thank 122 volunteers, from virtually every corner of the region. For five years, Debra Goralski has helped grease the wheels at Adelaide McLaughlin Public School in Os- hawa. “Mostly I work in the kindergarten (classes), then I kind of get pulled aside to do anything,” she says. She’s now in her fifth year at the school having started volunteering when her daughter entered junior kindergarten. “When you first start, you do it to get out of the house, but then you see the need,” says Ms. Goralski. She says the school can always use more volunteers. John Brunke echoes that sentiment. “I think volunteers are hard to find, otherwise they’d be giving these awards out to a hundred people from each school,” says the volunteer at Anderson Collegiate & Vocational In- stitute in Whitby. A professional photographer, Mr. Brunke assists school staff in video and photography when they need help with a project. He’s been a vol- unteer for around 12 years, first at Pringle Creek Public School. “I think it’s a passion,” Mr. Brunke says of why he keeps at it. For those thinking of helping out in a school, he encourages them to take the plunge. “I would just say, ‘do it,’ because there is no wrong volunteer,” says Mr. Brunke, noting staff are always near- by to help if a problem arises. Jennifer Caradonna of Maple Ridge Public School in Pickering says she’s just part of a team. “Maple Ridge has such a wonderful support group of parents,” she says, noting sometimes there are over 100 helpers in the school in a week. Ms. Caradonna works on fund-rais- ing, helps younger students in the classroom and has been at it for over 12 years. “I just love being part of the school system; I love kids and I love being part of the environment,” she says. Diana Jeffrey is a lunchtime super- visor at R. H. Cornish Public School in Port Perry but that’s just her paid position. She is a member of the school community council, brought a first-aid, staff training seminar to the school and runs and organizes the magazine fundraising campaign that this year alone has brought in over $15,000 to Cornish. Gail Lawlor sort of got conscripted at Rosebank Road Public School in Pickering when, at the school one day, she noted, ‘Gee, that garden at the front of the school looks awful.’ Before long she was donning garden- ing gloves and fixing it up. “It’s not just a garden, it’s a teach- ing garden, it’s a curriculum garden,” says Ms. Lawlor, noting students learn about plant varieties and more there. She began volunteering at the school when her son, Alex Fraser, now a Grade 5 student, started school. Alex was at the ceremony with his mom and snapped a few pic- tures. “I see her a lot in school,” he says. “She visits in the office, talking to the secretary and the principal.” Alex says lots of parents help out at the school, including those who run the pizza lunches. Reading club, math club, lunch hour supervisor, school community council - you name it and Conny Hart does it at McCaskill’s Mills Public School in Cannington. “I do just about anything,” says the six-year volunteer. She says if she can make a differ- ence to just one child at the school, all her hard work and time is worth it. For roughly six years, Karen Hunt- ington has been a familiar face to staff and students at Applecroft Pub- lic School in Ajax. “I think it’s been a really important part of my life to be a part of my chil- dren’s lives in the school,” she says. Ms. Huntington has been school community council chairman and co- chairman every year, and with fellow volunteers, organizes the monthly pizza lunches and annual meet-the- teacher barbeque. “I really enjoy doing it. I enjoy knowing the staff, having a say in what goes on in the classroom,” she says, referring to the scientists in the school program she helped bring there. Life-long sports fan Daryl Avery has volunteered at Uxbridge Sec- ondary School for two years, coach- ing girls’ varsity hockey and girls’ soccer. His brother teaches and coaches at the school. Mr. Avery says it’s been a great ex- perience, noting both teams have had a lot of success. Joanne Burghardt, Metroland Durham Region Media Group editor- in-chief, was among the volunteers recognized, in her case for her contri- bution to Glen Dhu Public School in Whitby. The school’s former school community council chairman, she created and maintains the school’s impressive Web site. The volunteers received a certifi- cate of appreciation and a clock. Each school community was asked to nominate volunteers, who have worked in their school over the past year. Principals and school communi- ty council chairmen at each school chose one volunteer of distinction from the nominees.

Trustees push Province to follow Rozanski report BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — He called his report, In- vesting in Public Education. The title says a lot about what Dr. Mo r dechai Rozanski recommended last December after listening to edu- cation stakeholders in order to re- view Ontario’s education funding formula, introduced in 1998. “Almost everyone I heard from said the amount of funding allocated to education in Ontario is inade- quate,” he stated. Mr. Rozanski called for $1.8 billion in additional provincial funding, not including the cost of negotiating teacher salaries for 2002/03. One bil- lion of that amount was to be used to update funding benchmarks to Aug. 2002 which, he stated, had not oc- curred since the formula came into effect. The benchmarks are used in part to determine the amount of funding boards receive from the Province to pay for virtually every- thing: employee salaries and bene- fits, learning resources like comput- ers and new schools. His first three recommendations dealt with the benchmarks. Acknowledging the high cost to update them, Mr. Rozanski gave the government three years, beginning this school year, to catch-up. Education stakeholders say that’s what trustees elected in two weeks should be calling for from the new provincial government. The Liberals almost certainly will continue where the Tories left off in implementing the report’s recommendations. Uxbridge-Brock Trustee Nancy Loraine earlier this year sought to re- mind her colleagues, and the public, that much of what Rozanski had called for was not yet in place. She says the report’s message is clear to incoming trustees. “Bringing the benchmarks up to current funding levels had to be the top priority,” says Trustee Loraine. “And that if you didn’t do that you would repeat the same errors that caused us to have a shortfall in fund- ing.” In areas such as staff salaries, the biggest chunk by far of education costs, Trustee Loraine says the shortfall’s effect has been evident. “That then leads to the labour un- rest that we experienced several times during the last several years,” she says. Annie Kidder is the spokesman for People for Education, a parents’ group that estimates the govern- ment is roughly half way through im- plementing Rozanski in terms of dol- lar value. She, too, agrees the bench- marks are at the top of the list. “I think that the biggest thing that hasn’t been implemented is the catch up funding,” she says. On top of that, Ms. Kidder notes that Mr. Rozanski didn’t just call upon the Province to catch up, but to remain caught up. He urged the Province to create a system whereby the benchmarks would be reviewed and updated every year. She’s reluctant to set any one Rozanski recommendation above another. “I hate to set priorities because what happens is you end up saying, by implication, nothing else is as im- portant,” says Ms. Kidder. She points to other areas trustees should not forget, including school renewal. “There’s a huge problem in terms of school buildings,” says Ms. Kidder. Anyone who’s ever owned a house, she says, knows that regular mainte- nance is required not to make major repairs, but to prevent them from being required. Yet boards, due to underfunding, have had to forego that maintenance, she says, instead responding to a leaky roof only when water is pouring down on students. Kathy Galluzzo is a Whitby parent and member of the Durham District School Board’s special education ad- visory committee. A long-time spe- cial education advocate, she points to that area as a priority for the new board of trustees - and the new Lib- eral government. Mr. Rozanski made several recommendations concern- ing special education, again centred on funding adequacy. Ms. Galluzzo touched upon some of them, includ- ing the time and effort boards have to put in to apply for funding for high needs students. “I think that there are serious flaws in the ISA funding,” she says. “Over the last few years, there’s been a consistent raising of the bar (in terms of eligibility). The criteria changes.” Mr. Rozanski said he heard this complaint about the time involved to document ISA funding needs. He called on the Province to find a way to “significantly reduce” the onerous task boards face in applying for ISA funding. One recommendation was that boards should only have to as- sess students who had never before been reviewed by a board, or whose needs have changed. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 29, 2003 PAGE 3 A/P SAVE $10 $26 99 9490 /Gallon PAINTS...Simply Beautiful FLOORING CENTRE plus pain t SAVE $10 Interior Acrylic Latex with Teflon Semi-Gloss • Formulated with Teflon surface protector • Excellent adhesion to alkyd & glossy surfaces • Excellent scrubbability • Ideal for high traffic areas Interior Latex Eggshell • Our best selling finish • Washable • Rich, warm finish that hides irregularities • Ideal for bedrooms, living & dinning rooms Interior Latex Pearl • Excellent Hide • Extremely scrubbable • Very good adhesion • Ideal for all living areas, including family rooms & kids rooms $33 99$33 99 $28 99$28 99$26 99 SAVE $10 7250 /Gallon Reg.

News Advertiser file photo durhamregion.com scarred for life.” Ms. Laverdiere, who according to To wnship officials is a tenant at the Tindall property, had been ordered earlier to remove six dogs. “They got a letter saying they could have three dogs legally and were to have the (additional) dogs removed,” confirms Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor. According to a police report, the dogs were being bred in a facility in the backyard of the home. Ms. Laverdiere had approached the Township of Uxbridge last spring to work out an agreement on the dogs, but no agreement could be reached, says Mr. Taylor. “She applied in April - she wrote a letter to council asking for permis- sion to have more than three dogs on the 10-acre property,” he says. Instead of refusing, the Township tried to work out an agreement, said Mr. Taylor, which included fencing the area, getting insurance, and pro- viding council with security such as a letter of credit. It also suggested the agreement be made through Mr. Tin- dall, not the tenant, Ms. Laverdiere. Mr. Tindall declined an interview Monday night repeating, “I’m not re- lated (to the girl).” Ms. Laverdiere could not be reached for comment. Mayor O’Connor said the letter sent in early October would have been followed up within 30 days and if there were still more than three dogs on the property, the Township would have proceeded through court. Because of the attack on the girl, Mayor O’Connor says she believes the Township “would have to take actions,” but adds she isn’t certain until she speaks to the bylaw depart- ment. to its demise. Surgeons and specialists won’t want to be on-call in Ajax if they can’t treat patients there, he said. “Then you’re left with an emergency department without specialists to back it up. You basically have a walk-in clinic,” Dr. Stas added. RVHS officials call such claims “untruths,” and stress the corporation is nowhere near making any decision on future service delivery. The hospital has held one brainstorming session with senior ad- ministration and two meetings with its physi- cian, clinical and service leaders. Concerns raised by medical staff have caused RVHS to slow down and take another much longer look at the process, said Maria Milanetti, vice- president of communica- tions. She pointed out options discussed in the corpora- tion’s brainstorming ses- sions, which were sum- marily rejected, include closing either site, not just Ajax. But those facts aren’t being reported, she said. The re-examination of future service delivery is being driven in part by the need to address the hospi- tal’s long-term debt but also by the changing dy- namics of both communi- ties, said Ms. Milanetti. “We know this popula- tion here is expanding both in the short and long term, and we need to be wise in what we do,” she said. RVHS is aware of con- cerns about travel, said Ms. Milanetti, but the cor- poration hears from just as many residents in Scar- borough, who don’t want to commute to Ajax for care. www.magwyerspub.com Thank you for voting us your #1 PUB & BAR Ajax Pickering vinylvinyl ceramic FlooringMASSIVE YEAR-END CLEARANCE SALECLEARANCE SALE PLUS A HUGE SELECTION OF AREA RUGS HUGE INVENTORY OF QUALITY BRAND NAMES PRICED TO CLEAR GIFT CERTIFICATES AVAILABLE VISIT OUR PAINT DEPARTMENT FLOORING CENTRE plus pain t “Where Customers Send Their Friends!” OPEN SUNDAYS 11-4 We Professionally Install And Guarantee Everything We Sell ®Registered Trademark of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and company.

A presentation to Ontario Power Generation (OPG) kicked off the 2003 Business Excellence Awards. It was recognized for its community service and contribution to the local economy. “Without our next winner, we would literally be in the dark,” said presenter Daniel Fry from BMO Nesbitt Burns. The 5,500 staff, who work at Pickering nuclear station contribute $300 million to the reg ional economy, with an- other 1,000 workers employed there during peak construc- tion activity. OPG employees raised more than $270,000 last year for the United Way, Ride for Heart, Herizon House and local food banks. “We’re very proud of what we do at Pickering and very proud of what we do in Durham,” said Patrick Mc- Neil, senior vice-president of nuclear support and strate- gy. Stuart Forsythe, branch manager of HEPCOE Credit Union in Pickering, reached for his son’s hockey schedule instead of his acceptance speech. HEPCOE was ac- knowledged not only for its growth as a corporation since 1942, but for its contri- bution over the years to Big Brothers and Sisters of Ajax and Pickering, Pickering Ro- tary Music Festival, Ajax Pickering Board of Trade an- nual golf tournament and the Pickering Soccer Club. “We truly believe ‘We’re in it together’,” Mr. Forsythe said, citing the company’s motto. “We’re about excel- lence at customer service and dedication to the com- munities we live and work in.” Allan Gilchrist, president of Nokia Products, accepted a nod for his corporation, which has been headquar- tered in Ajax since 1979 and has grown to international proportions. In 1997, it launched the first all-in-one communications device, and this year, brought wireless gaming to life with the Nokia N-Gage mobile game deck. “A jax has been home to Nokia Canada for the last 24 years and we love it here,” said Mr. Gilchrist. Holmes and Brakel in Pick- ering was honoured mainly for its customer service. The furniture supplier’s best re- sources are its people and their passion for doing the job right, said president Richard Holmes. The day after 9/11 his staff was asked to move 53 tractor trailers of office equipment to Manhattan. They man- aged to do it too, he said, even without exact address- es. Messier-Dowty in Ajax, was recognized for its innov- ative design of airplane land- ing gear systems, its compre- hensive environmental pro- gram and its support to the United Way and co-hosting the Town of Ajax’s ‘100 Towns for 100 Years’ event this year. “This is a surprise to us be- cause we won an award in 19 97,” said vice-president of human resources Barry Wohl. “And we were thinking of entering, some employees said they didn’t think (the board of trade) would give it to us again. “We’re very appreciative of the board and the Town of Ajax.” Also recognized for its in- novation was Keyscan Inc. in Pickering. Launched in 1990, the company manufactures electronic security access control systems that regulate and monitor doors, elevators and parking garages. “It’s really about the peo- ple behind the products, the technicians and engineers,” said president John Dyall. Nominees also included A.P.S. Metal Industries, CHEX TV-Dan Carter Pro- ductions, DuPont Canada, Durham School of Music, Durham Promotions Inter- national, Nelson Industries Fabricating, Unistrut, Vi- sutron X, and White Glove Cleaning.

Before the evacuation, high- pressure gas in the truck was released,” Deputy Chief Pegg said. “It burned off, so as a re- sult, an evacuation wasn’t necessary.” An evacuation would have covered an area within a one- mile radius, he added. “Hydrogen burns excep- tionally intense,” he said, adding, “Hydrogen burns in- visible” and can’t be seen when burning, so crews had to use a thermal imaging cam- era. “It burns so hot, it can’t be extinguished with water,” he said, so firefighters had to let the gas burn off. “Our priority was to keep the cylinders cool. We were flowing water on the trailer for hours,” Deputy Chief Pegg noted. The gas was contained in 30 individual cylinders linked by a manifold, he added. It was fully loaded when the acci- dent happened. The gas didn’t burn off “until well into the afternoon. It was about 5:30 when the last hydrogen burned out.” Ajax firefighters were called to the scene just after 10:30 a.m. and the truck was en- gulfed in flames when crews arrived. “The driver was able to get out on his own,” Deputy Chief Pegg stated. “Our first priori- ty was to find the driver, then close the 401 in both direc- tions. Then we’d set up for fire suppression.” Firefighters stayed on the scene until the remains of the truck and trailer were loaded onto a flatbed tow truck, he added. “We flowed water onto the trailer as a float,” he said. “It was loaded onto a flatbed at 10 :40 p.m.” There were minor injuries to the truck driver but no in- juries to firefighters, Deputy Chief Pegg said. The driver was treated at the Rouge Val- ley, Ajax and Pickering hospi- tal and released. The westbound lanes re- opened at 3 p.m., but the east- bound lanes weren’t reopened until just before midnight Sunday. Ajax had 22 firefight- ers on the scene, with mutual aid from Pickering and Whit- by fire departments. Picker- ing crews spent the day shut- tling water to the scene for Ajax, he added. Durham Regional Police spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik said the OPP investi- gated the accident, while the Durham police were busy with “traffic-related issues” caused by traffic being detoured off the 401. “When you shut the 401, it becomes a traffic problem. We had to deal with all that,” Sgt. Malik stated. With the eastbound lanes closed for more than 12 hours, “people getting out of Toronto had to find alternate routes.” The investigation is ongo- ing and anyone with informa- tion is asked to call the Whit- by OPP detachment at 905- 668-3388. Truck crash causes commuter chaos ✦ Truck from page 1 Ajax man cashes in AAJJAAXX — The day after financing a new car, Gustavo Vergara has the money to pay for it, and more. The 58-year-old Ajax resident won $115,976.10 in the Oct. 18 Lotto 6/49 draw. He won the second prize by matching five numbers and the bonus number. “I can’t believe it. I have been playing for many years and I am so happy to win,” Mr. Vergara said when collecting his prize. He and his wife Rosa have three adult children and three grandchil- dren. He plans to pay bills and take a trip.

Neighbours and friends in our little town may have noticed in the past that, at our house we really get into Halloween. We like to make it a kind of special, fun night for those who come by to trick-or- treat. People who drop by will see all manner of spooks and spectacles on that haunted night. What they won't see, what they never see in fact, are the hours of planning and bicker- ing that go into preparing our Halloween shows. The main issue, you see, is that Suzanne and I approach Halloween from two diametrically opposed po- sitions. She wants to entertain the kids and I want to scare the snot out of them. You have to understand that my wife is the Cecil B. DeMille of Halloween. If I did not raise some form of protest she would put together a production that would shame Garth Drabinsky. Whereas I lean towards the classic simplicity of the hidden guy in the bushes grabbing un- suspecting ankles or the old 'Is he dead or isn't he? Let's touch him and find out,' routine, Suzanne schemes on a far grander scale. She sees Halloween as a magical night full of music, smoke, and spectacle. Of 'oohs‚ and ahhs‚' from smiling, Tigger- masked little ones, chubby, sticky little hands clapping to- gether in delight. With me it's not really Halloween until some kid cries. And so, we spend the days and weeks leading up to Oct. 31 in heated arguments and brainstorming sessions. I loud- ly decry her gasoline-powered, g iant-sized, five-seater pump- kin and she shouts down my blood-soaked chainsaw. I pooh- pooh her 21-piece, computer- ized Ghost Orchestra and she nay-says my disembowelled principal handing out 'Death Detentions.' Amazingly, somewhere along the line, we reach a compro- mise. We light on something suitably David Copperfield-ish but with just enough spook to make at least a kid or two fill his little costumed pants. Un- fortunately, but predictably, as I write these words (just two weeks away from the big night) we are still nowhere close to a mutual agreement. I have no idea what we will be doing this Halloween. I will go to work today, living in terror that when I come home there will be bags of ready-mix concrete and stacks of lumber and drywall in the driveway. These are dan- gerous times and I cannot let her out of my sight for too long. My wife after all, is happiest when she has a blow torch or a pry bar in her hands. I'm not complaining mind you. Something will happen at our home this Halloween and it will be fun. That much I know. I also know that it will happen not so much because of me, although I am very often wrongly accord- ed the praise for what goes on, but because of the energy and love and good humour of the woman I live with. For better or worse, I am married to the Queen of Halloween. Actor-comedian-writer Neil Crone of Sunderland saves some of his best lines for his columns. NNeeiill CCrroonnee ee nn tt ee rr ll aa uu gg hh ii nn gg Halloween is Crone specialty Letters to the Editor A smile is a democratic right TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: As of this November, Canadi- an citizens will no longer be permitted to smile for passport photographs, nor frown for that matter. The rationale be- hind this neutral expression is to facilitate security personnel in determining if the person in the photo is indeed the person holding the passport, and not a disguised terrorist. This is a blatant disregard of one's indi- vidual rights. A smile is only one of the countless aspects that alters a person's appear- ance. Why not then force peo- ple to retain the same appear- ance as of that in their pass- port by not dying their hair, keeping their face clean- shaven, or always wearing glasses or contacts? Because the country would protest about the lack of individual rights. But the mandatory ex- pressionless face is a lack if in- dividual rights in itself. This new legislation is only the first step on the road towards an automaton society driven by paranoia. DDeebbbbiiee CChhaann,, PPiicckkeerriinngg Councillors should not endorse candidates TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: I was shocked to receive the letter by acclaimed regional councillor Mark Holland in- cluded in mayoralty candidate Dave Ryan's literature. The message I got, as I hope all Pickering residents will, was clear. A blatant disregard for all other candidates. What no letter for any of them. Or could these two conspirators only be effective if they are on council together. At last count there are seven members of council not two. What influences will they have on the other mem- bers? Will they shut them out if they do not agree and go along with their ideology? Are Mr. Holland and Mr. Ryan and the clique they really represent try- ing to control council. Who will they be working for? Having been a resident for al- most 40 years, running as a candidate myself once and worked on several campaigns what I learned and respected in other candidates is, that to be an effective member of council you must be able to stand on your own merits, views and vision. I guess Mr. Ryan and Mr. Holland believe that it is who you know not what you know. Not great lead- ership qualities in my opinion. Of the two mayoralty candi- dates, having seen both their literature, Mr. Dickerson in his literature (and speaking with individuals) has taken a clear position without any outside influences. Who do you want as your next mayor? Someone who owes others, including a member of council favours, or a mayor responsible to us the residents. The choice is ours, on Nov. 10 vote for Pickering not a gang of manipulators. KKaarrll HHaauugg,, PPiicckkeerriinngg 407 sure is no bargain for this traveller TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: I don't travel through Toron- to very often. But my son's re- cent wedding found us driving into Toronto. Wedding in Scar- borough, reception in Leeside. Coming home to Brooklin we took the most direct route: hopped on the 407 in Wood- bridge and exited at the end of the line in Pickering. Sure it's a toll road, but how much could it cost? One way and late at night? Great drive home! Until the bill arrived yesterday. •Toll Charge $3.19 •Video Toll Charge (what the heck is that all about)? $3.30 •Account Fee $2 •Total (with tax) $8.49 Holy cow! A 266 per cent mark up on a single trip! Usuri- ous or what? Worst of all, all of our local politicians seem to be in favour of extending the 407 toll road through Durham. They claim great economic benefit will fol- low. Looking at my recent bill I'd say the only ones likely to ben- efit are the owners of the 407. The little guy taxpayer is only going to get gouged big time. And didn't we (Ontario) used to own the 407? JJoohhnn TT..

But as MaryLynn West-Moynes packs up her office this week and vacates her post as chief operating officer of Durham College, there is something she will leave behind - a legacy of academ- ic excellence that has benefited Durham Region and, in particular, scores of students. Many of those students will be at General Sikorski Polish Veterans' Hall in Oshawa today, Oct. 29, joining Ms. West-Moynes's colleagues and friends to give her a big send-off as she heads for Mohawk College in Hamilton, to take up the reins as president. Durham College is what it is today due in large part to her 18 years of dedication. Ms. West-Moynes's hard work in a variety of job capacities helped build the col- lege's growth and distinction, and her skill as vice- president of communications of the college and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology fostered positive relations with government and the communi- ty locally, nationally and internationally. "MaryLynn, being the humble and sharing person she is, would be the first to say it was a team achieve- ment," notes Dr. Gary Polonsky, president of both the college and UOIT. "Every team needs a leader, and she has been a leader of the academic team." Ms. West-Moynes and colleagues have made Durham College distinguished for its quality of excel- lence, he says. "That's not rhetoric," he adds, pointing to the latest results of the Province's Key Performance Indicators, a survey that found Durham College remains the col- lege of choice in the GTA among students and em- ployers. Durham College leads Ontario in enrolment growth, which Mr. Polonsky says is a "function of confidence" among students, who act as ambassadors of the school to younger siblings and friends. No doubt Dr. Polonsky has mixed feelings on his de- cision to create the position of chief operating officer for Ms. West-Moynes a year-and-a-half ago, giving her authority over day-to-day operations of the college. He knew she wanted to be president, he says, and he felt it was an honour to contribute to her professional growth. "But I knew somebody would snaffle her up," he says ruefully. "She's absolutely worth snaffling. She's a superstar." As classes started up in Septem- ber, Ms. West-Moynes made a comment to a reporter that was very telling. Asked what she'd remember most about Durham College, she said it would be the students. It was, she said, "a really beautiful opportunity just to watch students on this campus...you know, they have a look of promise." In turn, the future holds promise for Durham Col- lege graduates, and much of the credit belongs to Mar yLynn West-Moynes. 905.420.2222 24 Hour Access 905.420.4660 cityofpickering.com ATTEND PUBLIC MEETINGS AT CITY HALL All meetings are open to the public.

Developed by the Durham Region Accessibility Advisory Committee, the plan asked each regional de- partment and building to evaluate barriers. The type of barrier, which disabil- ity it affected and how it was ad- dressed are all part of the plan. In-house barrier examples in- cluded lack of elevators, accessible washrooms, mobility restrictions, too-small computer monitors and equal access hiring. Outside barriers included putting documents only available in print form onto the Region’s Web site so font size can be increased and hav- ing water meter readers go to hous- es where people cannot access them due to a disability. “The disabled have been on the outside long enough,” said Regional Councillor Joe Drumm, who sat on the committee. “We want to im- prove on what’s there.” The architect for the Region’s new headquarters - currently being built beside the existing structure on Rossland Road near Brock Street in Whitby - has attended ad- visory meetings “and knows our concerns are important,” Coun. Drumm said. “Sooner or later, everyone ends up being disabled or challenged” by age, accidents, broken limbs said committee chairman Henry Korte- kaas, whose daughter is disabled. “This is the first step towards greater access.” The accessibility plan is available at www.region.durham.on.ca/de- fault.asp?nr=/corpoverview/accessi- bility.htm.

The October campaign was suc- cessful in bringing awareness to the plight of abused and neglected chil- dren, officials say, but when poten- tially hundreds of dollars were stolen from stores, the drive ended on a sour note. “It is very disheartening that someone would steal money that is meant to help children,” says Durham Children’s Aid executive di- rector Jim Dubray. “These are chil- dren who have already been hurt by those who were supposed to care for them, and the loss of this money just hurts them more.” L ast year the campaign raised more than $14,000 for the agency’s Children’s Fund, which goes towards programs of prevention, education and enrichment. Children can go to camp or join a sports team because of the fund. The money also funds bursaries to enable young people to pursue a post-secondary education. “Our staff and volunteers do their best to work with the stores to en- sure the safekeeping of the donation boxes,” says Mr. Dubray. “They mon- itor the boxes regularly, and the host stores do their best to watch the boxes, but unfortunately some peo- ple are very determined to get that money.” During the past year, Durham Children’s Aid Society responded to 8,469 inquiries and referrals of sus- pected maltreatment and neglect, while it cared for 1,221 more. The agency observes October as ‘Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month,’ to bring awareness to the growing plight of some of the most vulnerable citizens in the region. According to Durham CAS, the number of children in care has grown significantly for several rea- sons. Durham Region’s population is increasing, and in 2000, changes to the Child and Family Services Act broadened the definition of abuse while adding ‘neglect’ to the legisla- tion. These changes enable the CAS to investigate cases where domestic vi- olence or substance abuse by par- ents is present. On Oct. 27, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., the Durham Benefit Wind Ensemble will perform at the Oshawa Public Library with proceeds from the con- cert going to the CAS children’s fund. The Oshawa Public Library, McL aughlin Building, is located at 65 Bagot St., Oshawa. For more information visit www.homesforkids.ca.

See page 15 Spice up your ice by joining adult synchro skating team DDUURRHHAAMM ----A Durham adult synchro- nized skating team is looking for new members for the coming season. The Orono-based Ice Effects synchro skating team is desperately seeking new- comers ages 18 and older to join its core group of skaters. If new skaters can't be found, the team may miss out on an opportunity to compete at the Canadians in Brandon, Manitoba in March. So far, the Ice Effects has 16 skaters, but would like to have a full complement of 20 skaters for its competi- tive season. The skaters mostly live in Pickering and Whitby and surrounding areas. According to team member and Pick- ering resident Stacy Denford, there are many former figure skaters who would welcome the opportunity to return to skating in a competitive, yet fun environ- ment. "We know there are tonnes of former skaters in the region who may have grown up and away from skating as their lives have progressed, and would love to come back to the sport that they loved earlier in life," says Denford. "Most of the women on our team are in their 20s to 40s and many of us even have children. We are a great group of di- verse individuals who are very welcoming and extremely supportive of each other, and all of us love to skate and have fun." Last year, the Ice Effects enjoyed a successful season, placing fourth at the provincials and sixth at nationals. The team practises at the Orono Arena on Wednesday nights. For more information, you can e-mail the team at iceeffects@hotmail.com or visit its Web site at oronoathletic.com/ice- effects.

In the second game, Donlands Jew- ellers used strong rebounding and quick passes to set up numerous fast breaks in its 46-32 victory over East Side Mario's. Newlywed Lana Edmonstone found her scoring touch to lead Donlands Jew- ellers with 18 points. Kevina Morrison had a strong two- way game, putting on a rebounding clinic on defence and scoring 16 points to keep East Side Mario's in the game. Players in the league live in Ajax and Pickering.

Sports Briefs OCTOBER 29, 2003 A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo Pine Ridge Secondary School cross-country athletes hope to build on an outstanding season with a strong showing at OFSAA in Renfrew, Ontario on Saturday. From left to right are Maia Kirk, Emma Young, Nicole Love, Amber Cushnie, Julie Gardner, Carolyne Gardner, Jacquie Richards and coach Amanda Miles-Berry. Pumas run, roar in cross-country Midget girls’ team, Cushnie and Jorken lead Pine Ridge into provincials Saturday BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——Pine Ridge Secondary School will be well-represented at the provincial cross-country champi- onships next week. The school will send a strong con- tingent of seven athletes to the On- tario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) Cross-Coun- try Championships at Renfrew, near Ottawa, Nov. 1. The school's six-member midget girls' team will be looking to continue its strong season at OFSAA. The team has been simply dominant this season, leading up to the Lake On- tario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) meet held at the school last Tuesday. At the LOSSA event, Pine Ridge's midget girls' team of Emma Young, Maia Kirk, sisters Julie and Carolyne Gardner, Nicole Love and Jacquie Richards was dominant once more, winning the overall team crown -- the first time a midget girls' team has won it in school history. "They've been steadily improving over the season, winning by more and more points with each race," says Pine Ridge cross-country coach Amanda Miles-Berry. "Next week, they have a chance to medal and a chance of winning (the team title)." Miles-Berry says the success of the midget girls' team has been a prod- uct of the members' focus and train- ing this season. "They're all Grade 9 students and all six girls on the team work really hard together. These girls have made most of the practices and they're re- ally committed and dedicated." Young led the Pine Ridge contin- gent at LOSSA with a fourth-place finish overall. Love, Julie Gardner and Carolyne Gardner finished fifth through seventh place, respectively. The Pine Ridge midget girls' team started the cross-country season at the Trinity College School in Port Hope, finishing third. The team pro- ceeded to win each of their next three meets leading up to LOSSA, winning the Iona Invitational in Eto- bicoke, the Boardwalk Relays in the Beaches area of Toronto and the Mustang Invitational in Markham. The other two entrants for Pine Ridge -- Amber Cushnie and Justin Jorken -- earned their way to OFSAA with fine individual performance in their respective divisions. Cushnie captured top spot in the junior girls' event, while Jorken fin- ished 10th in the senior boys' brack- et. For Cushnie, a Grade 10 student, she's looking forward to equalling or bettering her sixth-place finish at OFSAA last year. Since that time, she has moved up from the midget to the junior division. "I plan on at least coming in sixth," says Cushnie matter-of-factly. "I feel more confident now that I can run at the provincials than I was last year." Cushnie admits her victory at the LOSSA championships was a lot closer than she would have liked it. The 15 year old's strategy was to get as big of a lead as possible on her chief competitors -- Geneva Win- terink of Monsignor Paul Dwyer of Oshawa and Carley Dart of Father Leo J Austin of Whitby -- and hold them off in the latter stages of the race. In the end, she won, but just bare- ly, holding off Winterink by a mere .2 of a second. Dart finished third ap- proximately 40 seconds behind Cushnie. "It ended up being a real tight fin- ish," explained Cushnie. "I thought Carley would have been a little closer than she was and I expected Geneva to be right up there." The surprise of LOSSA, says Miles-Berry, was the performance of Jo rken who ran a solid race to quali- fy for the OFSAA championships. "I expected Amber to win and for the midget girls' to qualify (for OFSAA) as a team. Justin was the surprise. He was the third individual qualifier as a senior boy." Wet weather just fine with English Dunbarton beats, ties Broxbourne in rain-soaked rugby games PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ---- Soggy weather did nothing to dampen the en- thusiasm on the playing field for teams from Dunbarton High School and Broxbourne School from England on Sun- day. In fact, the two U.K. rugby teams rather enjoyed having wet weather and a soggy field, which made them feel right at home, says Dunbarton High rugby coach Bill Dalliday. "The British guys really liked it. They hadn't had rain in so long they hadn't been playing because the ground was too hard," says Dalliday, who has been part of the ex- change for the past 16 years. "They thought it was really good." The 58-member English en- tourage arrived in Pickering last Friday, marking the 25th anniversary of the first ex- change between Broxbourne school of Hertfordshire, Eng- land and Dunbarton. The first exchange started in 1978 and, since that time, the schools have gotten together 16 times, either in England or in Cana- da. Dunbarton and Broxbourne boys' rugby teams and the schools' girls' field hockey teams got together Sunday af- ternoon for exhibition con- tests. In the boys' first team senior game, the Pickering side posted a 20-5 victory, handing the English side its first loss of its Canadian tour, which also included games in Lindsay and Oshawa. Billy Skidgemore and Jason Costa each scored a try, while Graeme Murphy booted two penalties and two converts for Dunbarton. Meanwhile, in the second team junior contest, Dunbar- ton and Broxbourne played to a scoreless draw. Dunbarton's varsity girls' field hockey team pulled off a 1-0 victory over the English visitors. In addition to the rugby, the Broxbourne students were taken to Toronto for a Canadi- an Football League at Sky- Dome between the Argonauts and the Montreal Alouettes. "The kids enjoyed the Cana- dian football game. They thought it was interesting," says Dalliday. To mark the 25th anniver- sary of the exchange, alumni from past exchanges got to- gether at a local pub to remi- nisce and celebrate. Approxi- mately 40 former Dunbarton rugby players, some who played with the team back in the early 80s, took part in the evening. One former player, Spencer Robinson, made a presentation to the English team during the evening. Robinson graduated from Dunbarton in 1985 where he enjoyed a stellar high school rugby career. He's currently serving as the coach of the na- tional sevens rugby team and is providing colour analysis of the World Cup of Rugby on Rogers Sportsnet Ontario. In earlier games during Broxbourne school's tour of Canada, they first defeated Lindsay's I.E. Weldon school 49-0 and edged Oshawa's Eastdale Collegiate 10-5. The English contingent left Pickering Tuesday for Stouf- fville High School for its final leg of its Canadian tour. They return to England on Thurs- day. DDUURRHHAA MM ——Mike Ka- vanagh's first OHL goal couldn't have come at a better time for the Os- hawa Generals. Kavanagh, a rookie who missed the first 13 games of the season with a herniated disc, scored with 8:02 remaining to lead the Generals all the way back from a 3-1 deficit to a 4-3 victory over the Sudbury Wolves Sunday at the Civic Audi- torium. It snapped a nine-game winless skid for the Gen- erals, who improved to 5- 7-3-1.

Step Pickering juniors let leads slip away in loss to Aurora, tie with Thornhill BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG —— The Pickering Boyer Panthers had four points within their grasp, but settled instead for only one in a two-game junior hockey weekend set. The OHA Ontario Provincial Ju- nior 'A' Hockey League club held leads in games against the Thornhill Major Islanders at the Pickering Recreation Complex Friday night and on the road versus the undefeat- ed Aurora Tigers Sunday night. But, they coughed up the advantage on both occasions, posting a 5-5 tie against Thornhill and losing 4-3 to the powerhouse Tigers. Although Panthers' head coach John Winder was loathe to say he was disappointed with the weekend results, saying his team played well, despite mounting injuries, through most of the two games, only to expe- rience letdowns at critical junctures. However, he allowed that he expect- ed more than a draw from the two games. "I'm going to accept it," he says. "I think Friday night we could have had that game." Most disappointing for Pickering was having a stranglehold on the Tigers (17-0-0-0 for 34 points, first in Nor th Conference) only to see them claw back from the brink. The back- breaker for the Panthers and game- winner for the Tigers came late in the third period when Derek Justin's shot bounced off goaltender Devin Ramasawmy's skate and into the net. The Tigers tied the game on the power play with just over three min- utes remaining in the second period. Winder notes that even-up, Picker- ing could have emerged as the win- ner over Aurora. A power play mark- er and a bit of bad luck around the net turned an otherwise winning ef- fort into a loss. As for Friday night's game, the Panthers let a potential victory slip away as Thornhill captain Mike McIntosh potted the equalizer on Pickering goaltender Jonathan Keat- ing with a mere 10 seconds remaining on the clock. As was the case on Sunday, the Pickering juniors allowed a big lead to slip away Friday. The Panthers led by a 3-0 count after the first period. The Major Islanders, however, re- grouped in the intermission and pro- ceeded to score the only two of the middle frame to get back within a goal of the Panthers. Thornhill tied the game at 3-3 early in the third, only to see Pickering take another one goal lead. The Major Islander tied it again midway through the frame, only to see Pickering take its second one-goal advantage of the third with 4:25 remaining. The Pan- thers' lead remained intact until McIntosh's goal in the dying seconds. The Panthers played most of the Friday's contest with only three de- fencemen in action, as James Rose- borough and newcomer Blake Allen left the game with injuries. The weekend marked the first ac- tion for newcomers Allen and for- ward Clay Costoff who were acquired from the Northern Junior Hockey League's North Bay squad. In return, the Panthers gave up team captain and defenceman Brian Hampton. The Panthers' bench took a big hit from the injury bug this weekend. In addition to Roseborough and Allen, the Panthers were without Robert Toomey (upper body), Kyle Cun- ningham (concussion) and Justin Teakle (hip pointer) for some or all of the weekend games. Derek Lynden, Kyle Robinson and Jeremy Whelan scored for Pickering against Aurora Sunday. Andrew Dis- sanayake, Costoff, Michael Banwell, Richard Schofield and Kyle Robin- son drew assists. Paul Michael Rivest scored a pair of goals against Thornhill Friday. Costoff, Ryan Annesley and Lynden added single markers. Assisting were Dissanayake with two, Lynden, John Scrymgeour, Cory York, Costoff and Danny Sullivan, all with one.
