But Durham Regional Chair- man Roger Anderson said the Province’s plans don’t offer any- thing substantial to Durham and are just a repeat of promises al- ready made. “I didn’t hear anything of any substance for Durham at all,” said Mr. Anderson. “There’s wasn’t anything in there to sug- gest to me there’s anything dif- ferent.” He added while the Province is continuing its focus on health care and education, it needs to start focusing on funding short- falls to municipalities as well. “I’m looking forward to work- ing with the new finance min- ister and hope in his budget, he Throne speech more of the same: Anderson Pickering might apply for ‘victim status’ By Mike Ruta Staff Writer PICKERING — The Province has laid charges against Hydro One almost two years after oil spilled into a Pickering creek. On Oct. 1, 2003, a transform- er rupture at the Cherrywood Transformer Station, near the 3rd Concession and Finch Av- enue, resulted in a 159,000-litre mineral oil spill. Roughly 30,000 litres could not be contained on site, entering a storm sewer and then Pine Creek, which flows into Frenchman’s Bay. Mark Rabbior, a Ministry of En- vironment spokesman, says the charge was laid Sept. 9. Hydro O ne is charged with “causing or permitting the discharge of transformer fluid to the water and banks of Pine Creek that may impair the quality of the water, in contravention of Section 30, Sub- section 1 of the Water Resources Act. “The charge is significant,” he says. Mr. Rabbior said it carries a maximum penalty of $6 million. However, it’s customary in larger offences to have a fine levied “in the hundreds of thousands of dollars range” when there is a guilty verdict. He said he could not get into details about the charge, includ- ing the confirmation of how much fluid entered the creek. The case comes to the Ontario Court of Justice in Whitby on Oct. 24.

NEWS ADVERTISER plained Hydro One took too long to inform the City of the spill. The power transmitter says the transformer rup- tured at 5:48 a.m., setting off a low oil alarm about 20 minutes later. The City says it learned of the spill after 9 a.m. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Mau- rice Brenner says there are lingering questions of what exactly entered the waterway, how far it travelled and what damage was done to the natural environment. Coun. Brenner hopes Pickering council will pass a motion he intends to introduce to have the City apply for “victim status” in the case. In ad- dition to the effect on the waterway and the time spent on the cleanup by City and regional staff, he says Pickering and the Toronto Region Conservation authority should joint- ly receive funds as part of their storm water management and rehabilita- tion program. In an e-mail response to a tele- phone inquiry about the incident and the charge, Hydro One spokesman Al Manchee said “we were disappointed that the Ministry chose to lay a charge in relation to the incident and Hydro One is in the process of determining its response.” The e-mail did not confirm, as re- quested, that a section of curbing on the berm around the transformer was not in place when the rupture occurred. Shortly after the incident, a Hydro One spokesperson said that was the case. “Hydro One used the very best technology and practices in respond- ing to the spill,” Mr. Manchee stated. “Weirs were constructed, vacuum trucks deployed and absorbent ma- terial (booms, pads) were used at several locations along Pine Creek.” He states that theses efforts re- sulted in Hydro One reclaiming “ap- proximately 98 per cent of the 30,000 litres of the spilled mineral oil that made its way off-site of our trans- former station.” Mineral oil is used as an insula- tor. A Toronto Region Conservation spokesman, six weeks after the in- cident, said the fish in Pine Creek survived the spill, adding he was im- pressed by Hydro One’s clean up ef- forts. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 14, 2005 PAGE 5 P C OUN T R Y THETHE H E A R T O FDistinct Designs from Premier Crafters, Artisans & Gift Suppliers WIN D oor Prizes every 1/2 hour!

In fact Wednesday’s Throne Speech was largely over- shadowed by the spectacular headlines which announced the resignation of Finance Minister Greg Sorbara after the powerful minister was named as the subject of an RCMP fraud investigation. Remember that Mr. Sorbara, as Ontario Liberal Party president, was the architect of the Liberal landslide in 2003. Many of the promises made by Mr. McGuinty were the brainchild of Mr. Sorbara and insiders have suggested he has been the real power behind the Queen’s Park Throne. Mr. Sorbara’s fall from grace was not a total surprise. Just six months after the 2003 election, he was in hot water after questions were raised about his involvement in a company under investigation by police and securities officials. Mr. McGuinty defended Mr. Sorbara then, but the RCMP probe into the activities of his family business in 1996-97 is just too much and Mr. Sorbara leaves under a cloud. As for the Throne Speech: It merely summed up what the McGuinty Liberals have done in two years and suggests they’ll stay the course until they ultimately have to answer to the voters in October 2007. The speech failed to tackle what is clearly this govern- ment’s Achilles heel: the lack of a clear energy policy that seeks to replace nuclear reactors that will need replace- ment with 12 to 15 years. Ontario’s energy deficit has been a long time coming and requires prudent, rapid action to fix. The speech emphasized the government’s action on education and health. It plans to put teeth in the premier’s demand that all students stay in school until age 18. On the health front, tackling wait times is in the crosshairs of the Province. A gimmicky notion that money will be refunded to those who don’t receive a birth certificate within 15 days of ap- plying for one, was a good headline grabber but hardly the substance of serious reform. In short, the Throne Speech promised little and didn’t tell us much we didn’t already know. Not exactly inspiring stuff for the second half of this government’s mandate. But perhaps the premier has learned something from his de- bacle of two years ago when it quickly became apparent he couldn’t keep his campaign promises. Guarantee little and the people won’t be disappointed. Region sure came clean To the editor: On Thursday, Oct. 6, at approximately 1 p.m., a large amount of recycled paper blew off a truck that was heading west along Bayly Street, just past Church Street. Within a half hour of contacting the Durham works department, a staff person came by to assess the situation. He called for back-up, then proceeded to begin picking up the debris which, by this time, had blown along the road for more than 100 yards. The debris was all picked within a hour of the occurrence. I want to commend the four regional works department staff who cleaned up the area quickly. Not a single piece of paper could be found afterwards. We, as residents, are quick to point fingers at staff inef- ficiency; it is not too often, however, we praise them. This is one time it didn’t go unnoticed. Good work gentleman.

Giving is a personal choice and it feels so good It’s hard to say exactly why, but food banks have always held a special place for me on the list of agencies in need. Food is such a basic need that every- one can relate to, maybe that’s why food drives are important to me. Or maybe it’s because of the story of the father who doesn’t have the money to send his child to school with enough snacks for her whole kindergarten class and it is the food bank that allows him to let his daughter be just like the other kids. Or maybe it’s because the thought of a child going without cable, electronics, fancy toys or new clothes is tolerable, but that child having to go without food too is just too much to bear. Every family knows the whine of the child (or teenager) who stands in front of the refrigerator or cupboard and lets out some variation of the familiar re- frain, “there’s nothing to eat.” For the hundreds of families who use the food bank every month that refrain isn’t just the words of a bored child, but rather a recurring reality. Growing up with two brothers with hearty appetites and a single mother, there was the occasional week where my mother would warn us to lay off the milk or there wouldn’t be any for break- fast. I can only imagine what it must be like for parents who have to ration milk, bread, apples, peanut butter and tuna to make it through the month. Maybe my fondness for the food bank comes from those childhood memories. Or maybe it’s because to help stock the shelves of the local food bank it would just take having every family that can add an item or two to their cart when grocery shopping. It seems so easy to put an extra box of cereal in the cart or a can of pork and beans -- a drop box is even located in most local grocery stores. Plus, it makes you feel good. The charitable need is great in the community and it is only going to grow. There is the United Way, the Rouge Va lley Ajax and Pickering hospital, the Te rry Fox Run, Girls Inc., the Run for the Cure, the Durham Humane Society and Easter Seals. The list goes on and on. Everyone has a charity that is im- portant to them for their own unique reasons. When the runs-walks season starts up again or during the season of giving now getting underway, remem- ber your favourite charity. It’ll make you feel good.

According to the speech, the Province will support research and development to create new markets and business for agri- food, develop new branding and marketing strategies for Ontario food, and work with the federal government to improve income safety nets for farm- ers. Ms. Werry said no financial numbers were provided for the initiatives, but listing them as priorities is important, especially for agri-food. “That whole indus- try is huge and we want it to grow in Dur- ham,” said Ms. Werry. Agri-food is the jams, honey, pasteurized milk and other products made by process- ing raw commodities, such as corn. The throne speech has also excited edu- cation providers. John Malloy, a superin- tendent for the Durham Catholic District School Board, said he’s very happy with the Province’s plans to keep students in school until they’re 18 years old, especially since resources have already been provided to support the initiative. “Frankly I’m thrilled because they put the cart after the horse -- that’s great,” said Mr. Malloy. “And it’s for kids to help them be successful and that’s what we’re here for.” Currently, students can drop out when they’re 16. Thanks to funding provided last year through the student success initiative, the Durham Catholic board was able to provide one teacher at each secondary school to track student success and help those who are at risk of not graduating, said Mr. Mal- loy. “Most students who leave us at 16, my experience is if we don’t get them back, they run into difficulties down the road,” said Mr. Malloy. He’s found students tend to leave school early because they lose hope, become dis- engaged, need a different focus than a uni- versity-bound classroom or have social is- sues. The throne speech presented initiatives for energy cost savings as well, such as in- stalling smart meters in 800,000 homes and businesses by 2007 and every home by 2010. Smart meters tell residents what they’re pay- ing for electricity at each time of the day so they can adjust their habits to save money. “That’s the intent, that customers will have some control over their energy costs,” said Michael Angemeer, president and chief executive officer of Veridian and chairman of the Durham Strategic Energy Alliance. Like some other larger utility companies, Ve r idian is getting ready to launch a smart meter pilot project for 500 Durham homes within the next month, but it is still un- known where, he said. Mr. Angemeer is also vice-chairman of the Electricity Distributors Association, which is currently working with the Ministry of Energy and Ontario Energy Board. He said more will be known about the placement, usage and where to get smart meters in the next couple of months. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 14, 2005 PAGE 9 A/P PICOV FURNITURE C.C.

A Pickering resident, Ms. Pinder died Oct. 8 at the age of 54 after a lengthy illness.

He described Ms. Pinder as “a vital and energetic lady, full of life.” She report- ed to Mr. Holmes, the director of business affairs and financial management. “She was a very highly thought of per- son who went out of her way to be of ser- vice to the people she worked with and was widely-admired for her dedication and her knowledge and help on budget matters,” said Mr. Holmes. He said regional staff are grateful for the time spent with Ms. Pinder, whom they will greatly miss. Ms. Pinder was a member of Durham College’s board of governors and a board member on Durham Region’s Violence Pre- vention Coordinating Council, which was also involved in the International Women’s Day Committee. She was also chairwoman of the Women’s Multicultural Resource and Counselling Centre Durham. Executive direc- tor Esther Enyolu called Ms. Pinder a friend to many. “She contributed so much to the agency,” said Ms. Enyolu. “Her leadership; she was very professional. She’s very highly respected by all of us.” Ms. Pinder is survived by her husband, Calton, and children Kristin and Kirk.

The Region’s economic develop- ment and marketing department re- cently earned a first-place award at the Economic Developers Associa- tion of Canada (EDAC) Marketing Canada Awards in Edmonton. The award, in the brand development category, was for the ‘Durham -- An Emerging Power’ strategy. “Durham is experiencing rapid growth and there are many busi- ness opportunities here,” Pat Olive, commissioner of economic devel- opment and tourism, said in a press release. “We needed a new depart- ment brand to reflect these changes and opportunities to better market our region and promote industrial growth.” The strategy includes key mes- sages and other branding-marketing materials to help promote Durham Region as place to invest and do business.

Cliff Curtis, Durham Region’s works commissioner, notes Dur- ham council has a standing ‘no new landfill in Durham resolution’, “so we’re not going there.” One option is to burn trash and recover energy from the process, with a facility that could be located in Durham or in York. Mr. Curtis says any proposed facility would not be located in resi- dential or environmental areas. The first part of the required en- vironmental assessment process is to prepare the terms of reference. It will set out the range of technolo- gies to be explored, the types of sites to be considered and the criteria to evaluate them. Mr. Curtis describes it as “the game plan before doing the study. “If people are interested, this is the time to get involved,” he says. The following information ses- sions are scheduled, between 4:30 and 10 p.m. at each site. • Oct. 19 -- Ajax Community Cen- tre (HMS Ajax Room), 75 Centen- nial Rd., Town of Ajax, and • Oct. 20 -- Courtice Community Complex (Hall A), 2950 Courtice Rd., Town of Clarington.

Six people share their stories. Canadian National Institute for the Blind Durham When Cyndie Sproul lost her sight from early onset macular degeneration four years ago, she called the CNIB to help her life go on. The organization has taught her how to keep cooking for her fam- ily, use a special computer, walk with a white cane and get her guide dog, Mr. C, among many things. “The CNIB was there to catch me and pick myself up,” she said. “I really didn’t know what to do or how to begin to do it.” She now works out of the group’s Oshawa office as the in- take worker, explaining services to first-time clients over the phone. “I’m very proud of myself.” The words say it all for Karen Ireland, who could only read a children’s book when she gradu- ated high school. The 27-year-old is slow learned as a result of a seizure disorder. Programs at the Literacy Coun- cil in Oshawa the past year have boosted her self-esteem, taught her how to fill out forms, read and write and spell -- all for free. The agency is helping her get her driver’s licence and hopefully be- come a personal support worker for young adults or seniors. Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, Durham chapter Almost 40 years ago, Tom Pick- ett started to get tired. MS has slowly robbed him of his body’s ability to function. After braces, walkers and scooters, Mr. Pickett, 65, is now in an electric wheelchair after losing the use of his hands. He lives in the March of Dimes supportive housing in Whitby. The MS Society, of which he’s been a member for 25 years, has helped with everything over the years: transportation and liv- ing costs, hands-free phones, canes and education on the dis- ease. “It gives you a sense you’re part of a bigger organization and are able to get assistance,” he said. “That gives me a good feeling.” Canadian Mental Health Association Durham, Durham Mental Health Services Carolyn Watters and the James’s both know the stigma, struggle and pain of mental illness. Ms. Watters battled several misdiagnosis’, w rong medications and two suicide at- tempts before finally discovering she had bipolar disorder or manic depression. Now 30, she’s stable, living in her own apart- ment in Oshawa and finding comfort in volunteering w ith several local mood disorder asso- ciations while help- ing others. “Because it’s men- tal and in the brain, people think you can control it,” she said, crediting supportive housing through the CMHAD as “extreme- ly helpful” in getting her back on her feet. After a close friend committed suicide, Paul and Holly James’s* son started having psychotic episodes. Fight- ing medications that made him ill, their son had violent prob- lems with police, would barely leave his room and overdosed on pills several times. Now 25, he’s in the Whitby Mental Health Centre. “I don’t know how we could have man- aged to get through this without their help,” Ms. James said of the counselling services from DMHS. “I’m hoping one day (our son) will realize there were people who cared enough to help.” Carolyn Watters Next month: The people behind the programs. newsdurhamregion.com Search keyword: handinhand Community Living Durham North We ndy Birch doesn’t know where her family would be with- out group homes. Her son, Stephen, was four months old when he contracted meningitis. He has brain damage, seizures and some cerebral palsy, and has been in a home since he was six -- at CLND for the past year. “It’s very hard to give your child up to be cared for,” Ms. Birch said. “But we maintained our fam- ily and Stephen got the care he needed.” The centre in Port Perry is her son’s home. Residents do every- thing together: eat, watch mov- ies, take vacations. “They really respect his digni- ty. They’re like a normal family,” Ms. Birch said. “We’re very lucky to have him there.” Canadian Mental Health Association Durham 905-436-8760 www.cmhadurham.org Durham Mental Health Services 905-666-0831 905-619-1144 www.dmhs.ca Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, Durham chapter 905-668-0530 www.mssociety.ca/chap- ters/durham Community Living Durham North 905-985-8511 www.c7acl.ca Literacy Council of Durham Region 905-434-5441 www.literacydurham.com Canadian National Institute of the Blind drinfo.ca/CNIB.html 905-436-7732 The Durham Region Employ- ment Network publishes an Ability Guide of community supports and services.

The Pickering resident had an optometrist’s ap- pointment, but no way of getting there. Her husband, stranded in Kitchener the day be- fore, would not be back in town in time to drive her to the Pickering Town Centre. “My appointment is in an hour so I’ll have to cancel it,” she said to him when they spoke that morning. He felt guilty, but there wasn’t anything he could do. When Ms. Emptage called Dr. Tim Lee’s office to change her appoint- ment she was surprised by the response. “I can’t make it to my appointment,” she said. “I’d like to change it.” To which the reception- ist, Debbie Fisico, respond- ed by saying it would be a while as the doctor was all booked up. “Well then I’ll have to cancel it,” Ms. Emptage said. “Don’t be silly, I’ll pick you up,” Ms. Fisico re- plied. Ms. Emptage was stunned. “You’re kidding,” she said surprised. “Just give me five min- utes. Put your shoes on, I’m on my way,” Ms. Fisico said. Now Ms. Emptage didn’t live very far from the doc- tor, but she still couldn’t believe how kind the re- ceptionist, whose name she never got, was being. She was so surprised she called her sister and her husband (this added to his guilt) to tell them. “How well do you know this person?” her sister asked. “I don’t know her at all.” Ms. Emptage made it to her appointment -- where she learned she needed bifocals -- and back home without ever getting Ms. Fisico’s name, but that didn’t stop her from send- ing an e-mail to her local newspaper proclaiming her “receptionist of the year.” Ms. Fisico humbly ac- cepted the recognition and agreed to be photographed at the office with her grate- ful admirer. “If she needs a ride,” she said. “Tell her to call me.” Good Neighbour comes through with a timely lift A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo Cynthia Emptage, left, had an eye appointment with Dr. Tim Lee but without a ride, was planning to cancel it. Dr. Lee’s secre- tary, Debbie Fisico, volunteered to come and pick her up.

Last month, Durham Region’s works committee heard staff concerns that the mix of private vehicles and an increased number of collection trucks at the Garrard Road facility was a po- tentially-dangerous one. Staff in a report suggested three options: ending the practice of free drop-offs; continuing the program but charging for the privilege; or maintain- ing the program, but diverting traffic to an area on the nearby, vacant com- post site. The Sept. 14 report recom- mended that committee go with the first option. Committee members were reluc- tant to reduce service, however, and referred the matter back to staff. As a result, a fourth option was put in place. A Recycling Centre staff mem- ber has been designated as a traffic controller, helping private and collec- tion vehicles navigate the facility. The worker is also available to answer any questions about the Region’s recycling program. The solution might not be a perma- nent one -- the matter will be re-evalu- ated in the spring. Waste decision computes in Durham DURHAM — Electronic waste col- lection days are on the way. E-waste includes computers, print- ers, radios and other unwanted elec- tronics. Last month, Uxbridge-based eWaste Depot Corporation addressed Durham Region’s works committee. Following a successful collection day in Uxbridge, representatives offered to hold similar events throughout Dur- ham. Committee members asked for a staff report since Durham itself col- lects e-waste at transfer stations in Oshawa, Brock and Scugog. According to a report by works commissioner Cliff Curtis, in 2004 the Region diverted 145 tonnes of elec- tronics from landfill. In June, the Region entered into contracts for e-waste to be hauled from its sites to Mississauga, where material such as plastics and metals are harvested. In his report, Mr. Curtis recom- mends the practice of making it more convenient for the public to get rid of their unwanted machinery. Mr. Curtis calls for regional staff to partner with local municipalities in offering four e- waste collection events in Durham. “Development of special e-waste events would benefit residents and provide them with disposal options for outdated and broken electronic equip- ment,” he states. Who will run the events remains up in the air. Mr. Curtis says staff is going to run the idea by its current contrac- tor as an extension of its contract. Determining if regional staff can run the events or tendering a separate contract with a company such as eWaste Depot Corporation will also be explored. Staff plans to report back to the committee at the Nov. 16 meeting.

October is Breast Cancer Aware- ness Month and the department is reminding women to learn about breast cancer screening. Breast cancer is the most com- monly-diagnosed cancer for Durham women. According to Ontario statis- tics, 75 per cent of breast cancers are found in women 50 years of age and older. Since there is no way to prevent breast cancer, early detection is im- portant. “Women have a one-in-nine chance of developing breast cancer in their lifetime,” Dr. Robert Kyle, Durham’s medical officer of health, says in a press release. “Learning about breast cancer and the importance of early detection could help save lives.” Women 50 and up should have a mammogram every two years, pay- ing attention to any new or unusual breast changes in the interim. Any changes in size or shape, a lump, skin rash, redness, dimpling, nipple dis- charge or a pulled-in nipple should be reported to a doctor. Women over 50 years of age can get a free mammo- gram at any Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) site. No referral is necessary and women will be auto- matically notified for screening every two years. The two OBSP sites in Durham are at The Oshawa Clinic Imaging Centre, 905-721-3588, and Port Perry Imaging at 905-985-9727. To learn more or receive a free information package, call the Dur- ham Health Connection Line at 1- 800-841-2729 or visit www.region. durham.on.ca.

Top prize of $1,000 AJAX — The PineRidge Arts Council has a grand reason to enter its annual fall exhibit. The council is holding its 7th Annual Juried Art Exhibition and the first prize is $1,000. It’s open to council members and residents of Durham Region. “We’re delighted to be able to offer so much and expect an increase in entries this year,” says PRAC presi- dent April Polak. “The show attracts many talented artists and we try to exhibit as many works as possible, but are limited to the wall space at the McLean Community Centre in Ajax.” Details and registration forms are available online at www.pin- eridgearts.org/jas.html, at the Dur- ham West Arts Centre, 72B Old Kingston Rd., Pickering Village, or the McLean centre, at Westney Road and Magill Drive in Ajax. An opening reception is on Fri- day, Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. at the McLean centre. The show runs from Nov. 4 to Dec. 4. For more information, call Polak at 905-683-8458. Entries sought for juried art exhibition The write stuff Writers Circle celebrates 10 years of creativity and support By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — If you write, you’re a writer. The logic is simple enough, but for those putting pen to paper for the first time or facing the dreaded rejection slip, it can be a daunting title to embrace. “People think they can only call themselves writers if they’ve been published or if they’re professional writers,” says Annette McLeod. “But anyone who writes is a writer -- es- pecially if they get rejection slips. We see them as a badge of honour, because it means you’re actually getting your work out there.” A writer and editor with the To- ronto Sun, Ms. McLeod is also past- president of the Writers’ Circle of Durham Region (WCDR), and says the local collective has given many budding scribes the confidence to chase their literary dreams. “The group is a nice counterpoint to the secluded act of writing,” says member Barbara Hunt. “We’re there to encourage each other. Writing can be a competitive, stressful in- dustry, so it’s good to have support. From journalists, editors and speech writers, to poets, novelists and playwrights, the WCDR cur- rently boasts a dizzying array of ex- pertise spread out over 250 mem- bers of all ages and backgrounds. In addition to supporting small grass roots writing circles that focus on specialties like children’s writing and memoirs, the circle publishes a regular newsletter called Word Weaver and holds monthly break- fast meetings that have featured guest speakers like Moira Dann of the Globe and Mail, and acclaimed author Betty Jane Wylie. The group also offers workshops hosted by out- side professionals and members. One of the new events planned for this fall is called “Would You Turn the Page” and will feature a professional literary agent and book editor critiquing the first pages of submitted manuscripts. On Saturday, Oct. 29, the WCDR is holding it’s 10th anniversary at 7 p.m. at the Claremont Community Centre, on Old Brock Road.

The season began Tuesday with the Afternoon Ladies and Men’s competitive leagues. This Saturday (Oct. 15), An- nandale hosts its bantam curling clinic, followed by the adult curl- ing clinic on Saturday, Oct. 22. ••• The Canadian Curling Associa- tion (CCA) has announced that the 2007 Tim Hortons Brier will be played at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton from March 3 to 11. To ronto was unsuccessful in its bid to host the event at the Ricoh Coliseum. Hamilton hosted the Canadian Men’s Curling Cham- pionship previously in 1949 and 1991. The seating capacity at Copps Coliseum will be approximately 16,500. Tickets are expected to go on sale in February 2006. Unlike 1991, only four sheets of ice will be used during the round robin in 2007, meaning there will be a minimum of 21 draws. In 1991, there were only 14 draws (includ- ing playoffs), because, for the first and only time in Brier history, six sheets of ice were used, eliminat- ing morning draws. Total atten- dance was 88,894. The last Brier held in Ontario was in 2001 in Ottawa. The Brier began in 1927 in Toronto and has been competed in 31 different cit- ies across Canada, from Victoria to St. John’s. The next Brier is at the Agrid- ome in Regina, from March 11 to 19. Since its inception, the World Senior Curling Championship has been held in conjunction with the World Curling Championships. Not so for 2006. Next year, it will be hosted alone in the Kastrup Curling Arena in Taarnby, Den- mark (near Copenhagen), from March 4 to 12. The World Women’s is slated for Grande Prairie, Alberta, from March 18 to 26, and the World Men’s for Lowell, Mass., from April 1 to 9. Captain Eustace ‘ready to win’ after two meagre seasons with Lightning Veteran forward scores in Durham’s 3-3 draw with Brampton Thunder By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — No one is more ready for a winning season than Durham Lightning team captain Joanne Eustace. The Toronto native is convinced the Lightning is on the cusp of turning the corner and becom- ing a contender in the seven-team National Women’s Hockey League this season. “I’m just ready to win. I know this team is turning around and we’re totally capable of over a .500 record and going for a champion- ship,” said Eustace. The 24-year-old former national under-22 team member should know. She’s endured two losing campaigns with the Lightning after graduating from the Univer- sity of Minnesota-Duluth in 2003. Moreover, Eustace watched as the team almost folded during the last off-season. But, buoyed by a new ownership group that’s committed to keeping the team in Durham and, more importantly, to win- ning, there’s plenty of optimism to go around. “Compared to previous years, there’s a lot more talent. There’s a lot more excitement among the players who have more of a winning attitude,” says Eu- stace after Saturday’s 2-0 home- ice loss to the Ottawa Raiders. “In the last two years, we’ve struggled and some- times we were satisfied with a close game. The first year here was really tough. We did get more wins the first year than last year, but we had more of a talented team last year. Every year we’ve gotten better but this year is 360-degrees better than last year.” So far in the 2005-06 campaign, Eustace has been paired with fellow winger Megan Aarts and centre Latoya Clarke, whom she played with on Canada’s under-22 national team several years ago. Eustace notes they have worked well together. “We combine to make a lot of speed. We feed off each other and there’s just so much speed on our line and I love it.” After being shut out in Satur- day’s loss, Eustace was able to find the net in the Lightning’s 3-3 draw with the Brampton Thunder at the Ajax Community Centre on Tues- day night. Eustace scored the Lightning’s first goal, the lone marker in the first period, after firing home a re- bound on a Teresa Marchese shot. The Lightning increased their lead to 2-0 at the midway mark of the second period on a goal by Kyla Gillespie, assisted by Candice Moxley and Deandra Locicero. In the third period, however, the Thunder rolled to three straight goals, including two power-play markers, to take a 3-2 lead. Aarts scored the equalizer with just more than seven minutes remain- ing. Pamela Pachal earned an as- sist. Unfortunately for the Lightning, two other goals were called back by the officials. The Lightning now sport a 1-2-1 record for three points, two back of Brampton, which sits in third place in the four-team Central Di- vision. Durham is on home ice again tomorrow (Saturday) when the To- ronto Aeros come to town. Game time is 7:50 p.m. Joanne Eustace Lightning bolts Record: 1-2-1-0 fourth in Central Division Joanne Eustace says she’s able to balance hockey and work as her employer, Home Depot in Toronto, is known for helping employees with their athletic aspirations. “They’re flexible with the hockey schedule,” says Eustace...Lightning defenceman Melanie Rothan is currently playing with Ontario’s U18 team...

In the gold-medal final, Dur- ham West scored a 5-2 victory to post its first championship vic- tory of the season. The Lightning started out strong, whitewashing the host Oshawa squad 5-0. In Game 2, Durham West allowed Claring- ton to score the first goal 10 sec- onds in, but eventually battled back for a hard-fought 1-1 draw. Playing Vaughan in Game 3, Dur- ham West came out flying to post a solid 4-0 victory. In their final round-robin game, the Lightning skated to a 1-1 tie with Halton Hills. The bantams’ 2-0-2 record was enough to earn a berth in the gold-medal contest. Goaltenders Lindsay Arathoon and Amy Murray played well during the tournament, aided by the defensive work of Rachel Bois, Caitlyn D’Souza, Jennifer Grant, Jennifer Grieves, Mea- gan Harrison and Brooke Perry. Forwards Natasha Alli, Jenni- fer D’Alessandro, Layne Farrell, Danielle Fujiwara, Heather Kelly, Yvonne Mais, Shannon McCar- roll, Emily Nicholls and Sloane Stephenson worked together to put points on the scoreboard.

The LOSSA league game was played at the Pickering school Wednesday. Scoreboard OCTOBER 14, 2005 Boys prove a point with big win on the soccer pitch PICKERING — The Pickering boys’ under-17 rep soccer team earned a mea- sure of revenge against a familiar foe in a rematch of a disputed and controversial Ontario Cup semifinal game. Pickering played the Etobicoke Energy for the first time since Pickering dropped a 3-1 decision in the Ontario Cup semifinal, which featured red cards called on three Pickering players. The cards meant Pick- ering played with seven players through 40 minutes of the contest. The Ontario Soccer Association later suspended six Pickering players, with one other player unavailable because of injury for the rematch. Pickering coach Junior Groves called up three players for the latest league contest. Undaunted, Pickering under-17s went on to post a 3-0 victory over their nemesis. From the opening kickoff, the Pickering boys looked confident and out to prove a point. In the 30th minute the pressure was too much for the Etobicoke defence as a Mark Waugh cross found Alex Trujillo, who controlled the ball under pressure, passing to Jamie Waugh, who placed a low shot into the net. If the goal was not enough to shake Eto- bicoke, Pickering threw Matthew Groves as an extra man into the attack and he demoralized the Etobicoke midfield and defence with passes to the hard-working Andrew Landry. For the remainder of the first half the Pickering boys played a solid defensive scheme with Jesse Trajkovski, Adrian But- ters, William Rodrigues and Joshua Trin- igolanathan giving up nothing. Ryan Henriques put on a goalkeeping clinic to keep Etobicoke at bay in the sec- ond half. In the 50th minute Butters drove a left- side kick past a shocked Etobicoke goal- keeper. In the 80th minute Groves made a run down the left wing and pulled the ball back for Magnus LeYeung who chipped inside for an open Landry who rocked the back of the net.
