Start calling home “Base Camp.” Introducing the Touareg Santa is Coming! tomorrow @ 10 am Vaughan Willard P.S. to Pickering Town Centre "Christmas Through a Child's Eyes" cityofpickering.com/greatevents PICKERING — Santa Claus is coming to Pickering. The annual Pickering Santa Claus Parade is tomorrow (Nov. 12). The Kinsmen and Kinette Club have been busy elves getting every- thing ready for the big day. They’ve organized the floats and bands tak- ing part in this year’s event. This year at least 70 local service clubs, organizations and businesses have entered a float; the parade keeps growing every year. For nearly 30 years the parade has traditionally ushered in the holiday season in Pickering. “The Santa Claus Parade is a great way to get into the holiday spirit... for children and adults alike,” said Joanne Finn, a City of Pickering employee helping to organize the event. Following his appearance in the parade, Santa Claus takes up his place at the Pickering Town Centre where he can hear Christmas wish- es personally. The parade begins at Va ughan Willard Public School, 1911 Dixie Rd., at 10 a.m. It then proceeds east on Glenanna Road to the Pickering Town Centre. Glenan- na Road is closed beginning at 8 a.m. for the event. Make sure to get there early to get a good spot and don’t forget to take your camera. The Metroland Durham Region Media Group’s newest venture, Citi- zens’ Eye, is publishing Santa pa- rade photos from across Durham Region in the coming weeks. They’ll appear online at citizenseye.com and some will appear in our montly print edition. Send your shots to citizenseye@durhamregion.com . Pickering welcomes the man in the red suit City wants federal minister to withdraw eviction notice for Barclay cottage By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — In an effort to get Transport Minister Jean Lapi- erre to step in and save a signifi- cant piece of Pickering’s heritage, council reaffirmed its position on the importance of Tullis Cottage. Wa rd 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner introduced a motion this week to ask the min- ister of transport to withdraw the eviction notice against the Bar- clay family, descendents of Rev- erend George Barclay who built the home on Seventh Concession Road, just west of Brock Road. “We have a window of opportu- nity to not only save the Tullis Cot- tage, but to begin to look at how we can protect (other properties). And not only at the local level but at the level of government it has to be protected at,” Coun. Brenner said. The Tullis Cottage was built in 1840 by Rev. Barclay, the first Scot- tish settler of Pickering Township. He held several offices in the com- munity, as well he played a large role in the Rebellion of 1837. The Barclays owned the home until it was expropriated by the federal government in the early 1970s, although the Barclay family con- tinues to occupy it. In February, Laurie and Gary Barclay received their latest evic- tion notice from Public Works (which manages the land on be- half of Transport Canada). Since then residents and Ajax-Picker- ing MP Mark Holland have been fighting to save not only Tullis, but other properties and to overturn KEEPING A STIFF UPPER LIP Jason Liebregts / News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Samantha Catania brushes off any last remnants of Rick MacInnis’s moustache.

Mr. Cubitt sent an Oct. 5 letter to Mr. Fantino to let him know this and has yet to hear back. Pickering councillors want the public alerting system to move forward with the four sirens, which they believe is a compromise. Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dicker- son was opposed to having 29 sirens and pushed to have alternatives investigated. “As an alternative to 29 -- I certainly agree to this,” he said after the meeting. The location change also makes it easier to live with. “It was the residential areas that my main concern was,” Coun. Dickerson said. “I don’t think they’re going to be dotted all along the landscape.” As part of the recommendation, Pick- ering is also asking to be reimbursed from the Province and/or OPG for the $23,965 it paid in consulting costs. By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — The commissioner of emergency management for Ontario agrees public alerting in Pickering can move ahead with just four sirens. In early September, commissioner Ju- lian Fantino met with Mayor Dave Ryan and officials from the City of Pickering and agreed with the City’s consultants that four sirens be installed. Following the installation, there will be a period of testing to see if the system meets the public alerting criteria as laid out in the Province of Ontario Nuclear Emergency Plan. At the Oct. 24 executive committee meeting, council passed a recommenda- tion to advise the Region of Durham and Mr. Fantino that the City agrees with the agreement to install four sirens and then evaluate their effectiveness. The Region is responsible for install- ing a public alerting system. It’s con- sultants recommended 29 sirens in the three-kilometre zone around the Picker- ing nuclear station (27 in Pickering, two in Ajax) but, at public meetings held in the spring of 2004 residents vehemently opposed that many sirens being erected in their neighbourhoods. Following this, the City conducted a peer review and its consultants found two sirens in indus- trial areas would meet the requirements, with two more needed for backup. Garry Cubitt, the Region’s CAO, said the Region is waiting to hear back from the Province before moving ahead with the alerting system. He wrote a letter in June asking the Province to review the two designs to determine which meets the provincial requirements. “The Region of Durham just wants to make sure whatever we do satisfies the Province’s standards,” Mr. Cubitt said. He received a letter back from Neil McKerrell at the Province indicating the durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, NOVEMBER 11, 2005 PAGE 3 P Santa’s on his way!

A team of 21 volunteers from Safe Haven Worship Centre quickly changed its plans after Hurricane Stan moved across the Central American country, leaving a trail of death and destruction behind. Sam Martin said they were to attend the first graduation at the Chris- tian school run by The Arms of Jesus Children’s Mission -- a Christian charity based in Pickering -- but 10 days before they were to leave the hurricane hit, causing widespread devastation includ- ing burying whole villages in mud and washing out roads. “Even the prospects of trying to get to the school (weren’t good),” Mr. Martin said. “The major rethink was ‘what can we do to help people’.” The group collected money and took as much supplies as they could with them when they left Oct. 14. What they saw when they landed was unlike any- thing they’d seen before. “People homeless, homes totally gone or with one wall left up, homes covered in mud,” Mr. Martin said. “Just total devastation.” He’d been on relief missions before, but it was still difficult for him to see. “You never get used to seeing need, that always impacts you,” he said. Most of the people on the team had never been on a mission before. Mr. Martin said the main message they came away with was, “we have to do more. “And a realization that we’re a very blessed people in Canada.” The church has helped with previous disasters, including the southeast Asia tsunamis and Hurricane Katrina, but most of its members have never seen first-hand how the church helps. “This just reinforces the purpose of the church to be in there in the world to help,” Mr. Martin said. In its week in Guatemala, the group distributed clothing, food and blankets, as well as helped rebuild some of the homes for people who’d lost every- thing. “They were already living in poverty -- the average home is cornstocks,” Mr. Martin said. “In the rainy season its bad enough, but with something like this they lose everything.” Through The Arms of Jesus, the church is going to be providing ongo- ing support and arranging for medi- cal treatment for those impacted by the hurricane. Mr. Martin returned to Pickering with the same feeling he does after every relief mission. “What always goes through my mind is I wish I had a thousand lives to live to make the world a better place for people,” he said. Pickering church’s planned celebration ends in relief In the Village of San Lorenzo — the river rose eight to nine metres, washing away this family home. The home had been built last year with mission funds from a Ca- nadian family. °°°°°° 'OLD "AYLY 3T 7 !JAX s WWWRENDEZVOUSBISTROCOM "REAKFAST s ,UNCHEON s $INNER s -EETINGS s 7INE 4ASTINGS s #ATERING"REAKFAST s ,UNCHEON s $INNER s -EETINGS s 7INE 4ASTINGS s #ATERING"REAKFAST s ,UNCHEON s $INNER s -EETINGS s $ELIVERY s #ATERING 'IFT #ERTIFICATES !VAILABLE'IFT #ERTIFICATES !VAILABLE'IFT #ERTIFICATES !VAILABLE Saturday, Nov. 12 Pickering Santa Claus Parade 10 a.m. Start at Vaughan Willard Public School at Dixie Road; Finish at Pickering To wn Centre Saturday, Nov. 19 Bowmanville Santa Claus Parade 10:30 a.m. Start at Church Street, heads south on Scugog, east on King Street to Liberty Street, ends at Memorial Park.

That saying assumes more and more importance every year as the veterans of the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War die. There are very few First World War vets still alive. To have served in the Second World War, which ended 60 years ago, you would likely be 80 today -- and many vets are much older. Even Korean War vets are well into their 70s. As fewer vets walk among us, it becomes incumbent on their ancestors, who have benefited so richly from their sacrifice, to continue to remember. For when we remember, when we think carefully and thoughtfully about the blood spilled and death during the massive wars of the 20th century, we can try to do whatever it takes to prevent it all from happening again. There are many opportunities to learn about Canada’s in- volvement in the First and Second World Wars. Your local library has loads of material on its shelves that tell important stories about the bravery and heroism of our soldiers. You can learn about how Canada came to be involved in both world wars, how much we gave and how the world changed as a result of the conflicts. Yo u can understand the decision to create the United Na- tions as an outcome of the Second World War and how the UN’s prime role is to prevent a Third World War. You can also find out that Canadian Lester Pearson, awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957, was the first person to suggest the use of peacekeepers to prevent conflict from becoming more extensive. What you will find if you take a long hard look is that Canadi- ans can be tremendously proud of our contribution to the fight for freedom in the First and Second World Wars. We owe our vets a lot, more than we can every repay them. Our legacy to those men and women who served and those who did make it back to Canada, is to continue to remember so the world never has to suffer through another destructive global conflict. Don’t look to development charges for hospitals To the editor: Re: ‘New funding model needed for hospitals,’ editorial, Nov. 2 I agree Durham area hospitals have been getting the short end of the stick as it relates to proper funding of capital projects. I do not agree the way to overcome this funding shortfall is to bring in hospital development charges. For the last six years the home-building industry has been the engine that has driven Ontario’s economy. This industry repre- sents 5.6 per cent of Ontario’s GDP versus four per cent for the automotive industry. Through our purchasers, we contribute billions of dollars in tax revenue to all three levels of govern- ment. Rising costs, including development charges, are driving the cost of a new home up to the point it will not be affordable to the average family. The resulting downturn in sales means much less revenue for all levels of government. Who do you think contributed the tax revenues to allow this government to increase spending on health and education? The need for improved hospital facilities needs to be balanced by our ability to fund the ongoing operating costs. Fifty per cent of new home buyers already live in Durham, while 50 per cent of the resale buyers come from outside Durham. Let those who are adding to the need for improved hospital facilities pay their fair share of the costs. This includes existing homeowners as well as the buyers of resale homes. Stop looking for the easy, quick-fix answer, but rather for a viable longer term strategy that benefits the entire community.

Service begins in eight weeks and little is known I ’m glad it’s not just me. At an information session on Dur- ham Region Transit, held in Whitby last week, I spoke with a Whitby woman at the meeting to learn more about the new service. Diana confirmed what I have been thinking ever since I took over the Durham Region reporter’s beat in August: where is the promotion of and information about Durham Region Transit? “Definitely,” Diana answered when I asked if Durham should be doing more to advertise its transit takeover effective Jan. 1. “Much more.” As Durham Chairman Roger Ander- son says on the transit service’s website, “there’s a lot to do by December 30.” I’ll say. And I submit that one of the top priorities is getting the message out -- loudly and clearly, with as much detail as possible. But there’s so much more. The fare structure is not finalized and is controversial in that west Durham seniors are facing the biggest hike of any group in Durham, including a 75 per cent increase for the cost of a monthly pass. Stay tuned for more on that front, as the Nov. 30 regional council meeting, where the fare issue is headed, promises to attract lots of seniors. A look at the Durham Region Transit website reveals a lack of those details. Service hours and routes? Under review. Service harmonization? Under review. Service in Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge townships? Under review. To be fair, as transit general manager Te d Galinis said in an interview at the Whitby meeting, it’s hard to promote a transit service when you don’t have a lot of details. And he says those efforts will be made in a big way very soon. How- ever it does make me wonder -- with the rush job that’s occurring and will occur until Jan. 1, and even after, what effect will this have on the level of service, and the comfort level of riders, when the new year dawns? Is Durham Region Tran- sit something that should have been delayed until mid-2006 or 2007, when everything could be in place and an ad- vertising campaign could show this? Regardless, Jan. 1 is the day. And what’s the reward when all the work is done? Taxpayers up in arms when then they see a regional tax increase that could be seven to 10 per cent for transit alone, never mind other cost pressures in traditional areas like the police bud- get.

Joseph Kenneth Morrissey, 55, was reported missing to Halton police Oct. 17 after failing to return from a boating ex- cursion on Lake Ontario. The body was found by a man Monday morning near Montgomery Park and Susan Drive. An autopsy conducted Tuesday indi- cated no signs of foul play, police said. Burlington man found on Pickering beach DURHAM — Pickering resident Jan de Vries is no longer a young man. But with a wit as sharp as a tack and a body still very much willing, it isn’t hard to see the boy who parachuted into Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Mr. de Vries, the current president of the 1st Cana- dian Parachute Battalion Association, still remembers that day and his passion for helping others remember keeps him busy, especially in the Year of the Veteran. I first met Mr. de Vries in 2002 while preparing for a trip to Normandy, to report on the Juno Beach Centre for the Metroland Durham Region Media Group, which publishes newspapers across Durham. The centre was under construction in preparation for its June 6, 2003, opening. Mr. de Vries was an integral part of the group of veterans who con- ceived of the centre and were working to make it a reality. In 2005 I watched Mr. de Vries at work once again, this time in his role as hon- orary chairman of the in- augural Pickering Mayor’s Gala, an event which in 2005 is saluting the Year of the Veteran. He was raising money for veterans’ causes including the rehabilitation department of the Rouge Valley Ajax Pickering hospi- tal. On one of the few blustery days this fall, we were ar- ranging publicity shots for the gala at the Ontario Regi- ment Armouries in down- town Oshawa. The plan had been for Mayor Dave Ryan to climb cautiously to the top of the tank housed in front of the armouries with Mr. de Vries standing firmly on the ground out front. But to the surprise of all, Mr. de Vries took matters into his own hands, gingerly leap- ing onto the tank and climb- ing to the top. It was only a few seconds before he was grinning down at his anx- ious companions, defying the passage of time and our concept of the type of activ- ity a veteran of a war that ended 60 years ago, should be engaging in. Likely this spirit was help- ful to Mr. de Vries when he was jumping from the air- plane on D-Day and again when he served on the Juno Beach Centre committee. Imagine a group of veter- ans getting together 50 years after the war, deciding to create a place where visi- tors to the D-Day beaches in France could learn about Canada’s contribution to the war efforts, just as they could already learn about the American and British efforts at museums in Nor- mandy. Such a place hadn’t been built by government in more than 50 years, yet this small group believed they could make it happen against the odds on the same distant shores where they had made it happen all those years ago. After stra- tegic planning, an arduous fundraising campaign and skilled execution, the vet- erans were victorious yet again. This past July, the cen- tre welcomed its 100,000th visitor and, this month, welcomed Canada’s new governor general along with a group of aboriginal veterans. While many Ca- nadians may never get to Courseulles-sur-Mer to visit the Juno Beach Centre, it is now lodged in our collective consciousness and will con- tinue to serve as a reminder for generations to come. With his focus now turned back to projects here at home, Mr. de Vries has a calendar full of classroom visits. This is where he says he sees the greatest hope for our future -- in the eager young faces in the desks in front of him. Ve terans can take great satisfaction in their achieve- ments, not only in the hor- rific war they fought on be- half of future generations but in helping us to honour it. They have left us a legacy of memories and a commit- ment we share collectively, not only at Juno Beach but in our minds and hearts. Remembering our veterans’ past today ensures we un- derstand the critical impor- tance of a peaceful future.

First Pickering Place More than 1,000 expected to seek assistance in Ajax and Pickering DURHAM — Christmas is meant to be a joyous occasion, however, it’s anything but for some in the community. To ensure everyone enjoys the yuletide, the Salvation Army is again running its Christmas Ap- peal Campaign. The army collects non-perish- able food items and new, un- wrapped gifts for children and youths. Last year, more than 1,000 people locally received assis- tance from the Salvation Army, including 500 children who had toys to open on Christmas. Food items include dry pasta and sauce, powdered milk, canned fruit, vegetables, meat or stew, jams or jellies, peanut but- ter, coffee, tea, meal extenders (Hamburger Helper), fruit juices, soup, rice or cookies. Applications for assistance can be made at the Salvation Army’s Hope Community Centre, 37 Kings Cres., Ajax. It’s open Mon- day, Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to noon and 2 to 4 p.m. Applicants need proof of ad- dress, an income statement, proof of rent, lease or mortgage, and identification showing the date of birth for every person liv- ing in the household. Applicants must live in Pickering or Ajax. Salvation Army officials en- courage those who want assis- tance to register as early as pos- sible. Food and gift hampers are being distributed starting Dec. 12. Volunteers and sponsors are also being sought for the cam- paign. Also, volunteers with the Sal- vation Army are taking part in the Ajax Santa Claus parade, walking the route to collect non-perish- able food items.

Finalists for a Durham Catho- lic District School Board poster contest were recognized and applauded during an October board meeting for their creative efforts to advertise an upcoming PA day. The winning poster, cre- ated by Megan Rigelhof of Good Shepherd Catholic School in Port Perry, will be displayed in vari- ous schools. “It’s phenomenal all the work the kids put into it and all the thought they put into it,” said Jen- nifer Leclerc, staff development officer for the board while rec- ognizing the contest winner and runners-up. Each contestant discussed the illustrations in their poster, which had to represent faith, literacy and community. “I did hands and the hands represent the teachers in the board are all supporting people,” said Megan. Runners-up included Christina Gizzo and Christina Provenzano from St. Patrick in Ajax, Jordan Capati and Renee MacPherson from St. Isaac Jogues in Pickering, Olivia Feletti and Tamsine Ger- vais from St. Thomas Aquinas in Oshawa and Matthew Viera from St. Monica in Pickering.

The request by Anna Trojanowska to expand the boundary west from the hydro corridor in Pickering’s in- dustrial area to Sandy Beach Road first came to executive committee in September. Due to several members being ab- sent, the issue resulted in a tie so no recommendation came forward to council with the motion. Ms. Trojanowska’s lawyer Noel Gerry spoke at the beginning of Monday’s meeting, requesting coun- cil hold off on a decision until next month when Pickering would be re- viewing its busi- ness bylaws and when she would have the oppor- tunity to com- ment at a public meeting. “My client was left out of the ini- tial consultation of where body rub parlours are going to be,” he said. “It seems like there is a fresh op- portunity to allow her to comment.” Ms. Trojanowska’s business was given grandfathered status when the original boundary decision bylaw permitting body rub parlours in a designated area was passed in Oc- tober 2000. That status expires Dec. 31. Brock Spa is at 1600 Alliance Rd., about 200 to 300 yards west of the boundary. In questioning Mr. Gerry, Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean pointed out Ms. Trojanowska re- ceived a letter in May 2001 making her aware of the special status and when it would expire. Mr. Gerry confirmed she received the letter, but pointed out it came after the boundary decision was made. “She wasn’t able to comment at that time,” he argued. There are currently five licensed body rub parlours in Pickering and only two are in the permitted area.

News Advertiser Billboard NOVEMBER 11, 2005 By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — For Brad MacIsaac’s collaborative leadership students, there’s no sound of flipping pages when they’re asked to open their textbooks. At the laptop-based Uni- versity of Ontario Institute of Technology, Mr. MacIsaac teaches collaborative leader- ship with help from a custom published e-book. An elec- tronic textbook, it features chapters from various books as well as his own material. “It means I don’t have to give students material they’re not going to use in the term,” said Mr. MacIsaac. “I used five different textbooks in the making of this one.” Mr. MacIsaac worked with McGraw-Hill Ryerson Publishing to create the e- book because a lot of exist- ing books didn’t have all the content he wanted. Along with online quizzes and self-assessment pro- grams, which mark exercises immediately, and videos of real-life situations, the elec- tronic format also offers savings to students. Mr. Ma- cIsaac said if he was to have the material bound, it would cost about $85, instead of the $55 to access it online. The book is in PDF format and students can print it if they want. “I really like it, I think it’s a lot better for students,” said Mr. MacIsaac. “The one downfall is them not being able to sell them at the end.” Instead of buying a disc and downloading their e- book, students purchase a password and access them online. And if the Internet crashes -- “Hopefully it never does,” laughed Mr. MacIsaac. Bill Muirhead, UOIT as- sociate provost of teaching and learning, said e-books are a complicated topic be- cause there are a variety of business models available, such as a whole book in PDF format, supplemental mate- rial to regular textbooks and online versions available for a limited amount of time. “Do students desire elec- tronic textbooks -- the an- swer is some certainly do,” said Mr. Muirhead. He added what students really want is cheaper books. Mr. Muirhead said more electronic books are becom- ing available and as they do, more faculty will likely choose them. “I believe the cost would be less,” he said. “It’s a new business model for publishers, but we all hope they get it established as quickly as possible,” Mr. Muirhead added.

The group is putting the final touches on five perfor- mances of ‘Puss in Boots,’ which begins Friday, Dec. 2 at the Brougham Community Hall. The fairy tale is familiar to many. “A very clever cat helps a very lazy boy realize his life’s ambition, which is to marry a princess and live happily ever after,” sums up Julie Oakes, co-director of the play with Dianne Fordham. “There’s an evil ogre, and they have to spoil the plans of the Lord Chancellor, who wants to marry the princess for the position and stature.” Katrina Pyke, a volunteer and program co-ordinator at the Pickering Museum Vil- lage, where the players are based, is already a fan of the play. “It’s lots of fun. There’s singing, jokes and buffoon- ery. It’s fun for families,” she says. Oakes, a Whitby resident, agrees. “It’s lots of fun for kids and adults, and a lot of the jokes appeal to adults. We put in references to local groups and areas. It’s just altogether fun to go to. People can ex- pect a lot of laughter, singing and dancing.” They can also expect to get involved in the action, as the tradition of pantomime is to encourage audience partici- pation. “The audience is expected to cheer when the hero ap- pears, and boo when the vil- lain appears,” said Pyke. Another tradition of pan- tomime is to have a female character played by a man. In this case, the character of the hero’s mother is played by Ben Korczynski. Round- ing out the cast is Samantha Williams as Puss, Jeff Martin as the would-be prince and Stephanie Hill as the prin- cess. The group has been pre- paring since September. “The rehearsals have been a joy,” says Oakes. “Everyone is enjoying it, it lifts you up so much. We’re cracking each other up.” The group rehearses three times a week, given the na- ture of the play. “With panto- mime, timing is crucial, and the pacing is important. It has to be rapid fire,” she says. Tickets are $15 and avail- able at the museum or by calling 905-683-8401. Other performances are Saturday, Dec. 3 at 8 p.m., Dec. 4 at 2:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 10 at 8 p.m., and Dec. 11 at 2:30 p.m. All shows are at the Brougham hall, Brock Road just south of Hwy. 7.

After an EnerGuide for Houses advisor did an energy audit, she found her house rated a meager 26 on a scale of 0-100. But after improvements such as weather- stripping doors, caulking windows, insulating a spare room and installing a high-effi ciency furnace, not only did her rating go up, she reduced her heating costs by 60 per cent and greenhouse gas emissions by three tonnes. A simple evaluation service is available to Canadians to fi nd ways of saving energy around the home. Saving energy not only saves money on heating and cooling costs, it reduces the greenhouse gas emissions that lead to climate change and helps to give us cleaner air. It’s all part of the One-Tonne Challenge that asks each Canadian to take action on climate change by reducing personal greenhouse gas emissions by one tonne, or about 20 per cent. Each Canadian generates, on average, fi ve tonnes of greenhouse gases annually. Half of these emissions result from home energy use. Over 160,000 homeowners in Canada have had energy evaluations. Those who renovated after using the service had average energy savings of 27 per cent and greenhouse gas reductions of four tonnes per year. Here’s how it works. An independent energy advisor visits your home and performs a basement-to- attic energy evaluation that includes a “blower door” test to detect hidden air-leakage points. The advisor then calculates an energy effi ciency rating for your home and produces a customized report detailing steps to reduce your energy consumption while maintaining a healthy living environment. After your upgrades are completed, you ask the energy advisor to return for a follow-up evaluation. If the difference between “before” and “after” meets a minimum requirement, the advisor applies on your behalf for a one-time federal grant. The average grants to date are about $650. Advisors do not try to sell products or services, and they are well-trained in energy effi ciency. The cost of the service is subsidized by the Government of Canada.

In 1988, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded collectively to UN peacekeepers in recognition of their historic efforts to limit violence and promote peace. A Canadian invented peacekeeping and Canada has always been one of the world’s most committed peacekeeping nations. In a small way, every Canadian can share in the honour the Nobel Prize confers on the peacekeepers of the world, including Canada’s peacekeepers. 905-683-2544 87 OLD KINGSTON ROAD AJAX87 OLD KINGSTON ROAD AJAX Dr. JOHN GENOVA, D.D.S Dental Surgeon • Family oriented practice • Complete care for all ages • New patients welcome • Extended hours “Thank you for your steadfastness” “Proud to remember those who served us” Fuel Injection • Cleaning Repairs Brake Service • Diagnostics Factory Scheduled Maintenance • Radiator Flush and Fills • Belts & Hoses Air Conditioning Service • Emissions Oil Changes • Tune-Ups 355 Bayly St. W., Ajax 905-683-9699 www.precisiontune.com Joe Dickson Dickson PrintingDickson Printing Ajax Plaza • 905-683-7940 fax: 905-683-9565 • email: joe@dicksonprinting.on.ca “Thank you for our freedom” During the fi rst half of this century, some 1.5 million Canadians were called upon to defend peace and freedom around the world during the First World War, the Second World War and the Korean War. Over 110,000 Canadians died. Following these terrible confl icts, Canada began looking for ways to prevent wars. Contemporary peacekeeping is a natural extension of Canada’s longstanding commitment to the principles of peace and freedom. Following the Second World War, Canada was involved in military observer missions in the late 1940s, particularly during the Arab-Israeli and the India-Pakistan confl icts. From 1950 to 1953, Canada joined other UN nations to resist aggression during the Korean War. However, it wasn’t until 1956 that the term peacekeeping entered the popular vocabulary, thanks to a Canadian. During the Suez Crisis of 1956, Secretary of State for External Affairs Lester B. Pearson - later Canada’s 14th Prime Minister - proposed that a multinational UN peacekeeping force be sent to the Suez to separate the warring parties. For his visionary idea, Mr. Pearson was awarded the 1957 Nobel Peace Prize. Pe acekeepers are traditionally placed between hostile forces to supervise cease-fi res and the withdrawal of opposing forces. In recent years the roll of peacekeepers has expanded to include the delivery of humanitarian aid, the supervision of elections, the repatriation of refugees, the disarming of warring factions and the reclamation of shattered landscapes through the clearing of mines, etc. Another increasingly important aspect of peacekeeping is support for stable government and human rights, including the organization of electoral systems, and the training of police forces and the judiciary. These new peacekeeping activities now involve many Canadian civilians, in addition to the Canadian Armed For ces. Canada is one of a handful of nations to which the United Nations can regularly turn to obtain peacekeeping advice and expert peacekeepers. Canada has participated in the overwhelming majority of peacekeeping operations mandated by the United Nations Security Council. Tens of thousands of Canadians have served in more than 40 separate peacekeeping missions. But Canada’s contribution to peacekeeping is not without risk: over 100 Canadians have died in peacekeeping operations and hundreds more have been wounded. “Thank you for your dedication and bravery” Audiology Services WHITBY HEARING CENTRE 1032 Brock St. S., Unit 4 Whitby, ON L1N 4L8 (905) 666-7726 AJAX-PICKERING AUDIOLOGY CLINIC 1885 Glenanna Rd.

It’s that time of year again when groups of Le- gion members and other supporting Service Orga- nizations gather at mall entrances, retail stores and other public places to remind everyone, by offering Poppies, the symbol of Remembrance and Unity, of the sacrifi ces that have been and are still being made by members of our Armed Forces through- out the world. Yo ur charitable donations through all of our local collections last year resulted in our Branch being able to disburse a total of $32,824.28 to Veterans and survivors of Veterans in our area. These mon- ies are used to assist those in need acquire things like wheelchairs, walkers hearing aids and other items as required for their specifi c needs.

A fear in lies and they do not know where to go for help. They were once leaders and now they are lost. TO- GETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. United Way is able to reach veterans by support- ing agencies that provide the necessities, dignity and hope. Neighbours Helping Neighbours – a volunteer visiting program provided by Victorian Order of Nurses shows that the helpless and lonely can be rescued. We can show them they haven’t been for- gotten and their stories can still be heard. Meals on Wheels and COPE Mental Health Pro- gram, provided by Community Care, help people to live at home with a network of support in caring communities. Canadian Red Cross provides home health care equipment services for those in need. Credit Counselling assists people in fi nding appro- priate solutions to their fi nancial concerns. Dis- tress Centre Durham offers a 24-Hour Helpline Service for individuals in crisis. Durham Deaf Services offer one-on-one support to individuals to become assimilated and assists the hearing com- munity to understand the deaf community. Cana- dian National Institute for the Blind provides blind and visually impaired seniors to achieve their de- sired level of independence and ensure support for them in the community. If everyone could share their own good fortune with someone who has become down on their luck, the need for these programs would be minimal. Please give to United Way, so that veterans can continue to use services similar to the ones men- tioned above and live their lives with dignity.

You’re kidding me!” I ex- claimed. “No, I’m not! And the problem is no joke either!” shouted Rivera. “Well then, what’s wrong?” I asked. “Well, you see, what happens is that in 100 years the entire human race will be in danger. From your time, I mean. You know about the story of the alien ship 500 years be- fore now, right?” said Rivera. I nodded. “Well, in the time now, a girl picked up the reason why the alien ship disappeared the first time around. The sacred necklace,” ex- plained Rivera. My eyes grew wide with shock as I touched the necklace that I picked up earlier that day. Was I that girl? “So what happened is, a week after the necklace was found, the girl was found dead. There were no wit- nesses, and no clues to who or what the murderer might be. The police were stumped. Nothing to follow on this case. But that’s when all the funny deaths started. People dying, and just like the first case, there was no clues, no witnesses, nothing to follow. Soon it was starting to get out of control. Human began to die, one by one they were disappearing from this world. The human species looked doomed. Then, when all hope seemed lost, a miracle came. A man, on his last legs, had seen something no one else had. He told of a huge spaceship, a neck- lace and an alien invasion. He died right after telling the story. So people made us, the Intruder’s Officers. We are a group that tries to defeat the alien invaders, and defend our people. Well, we try to, but the aliens greatly outnumber us. So basically, it’s pretty much impossible to win.” I began to understand. “So,” I began nervously, “You came back here to save the girl so none of this would have happened, huh? Then tell me one thing. Why didn’t you go back some more so that the alien ship never landed here?” “That’s a good question,” com- mented Rivera, “You see, we still don’t know how the aliens ended up landing here or even why, for that matter.” “So why didn’t you wait until you did?” I wondered. “Well, we were thinking that it might be too late by then,” answered Rivera. “Oh, I see. Well, what does this have to do with me?” I asked ner- vously, hoping I wasn’t right. “Haven’t you figured out by now? The girl who picked up the sacred necklace… the one who the aliens slaughtered… Marilyn… that girl was you.” PA RT THREE: WAGING THE WAR “But I don’t understand,” I moaned as Rivera and I walked from the coffee shop. (That took a long time, mind you, that waiter is prob- ably still wondering why Rivera had a coin from 2103!) “You will,” Rivera assured me. “Not to mention you have to.” “All right. See you,” piped up Ri- vera, suddenly. “Huh?” I looked up in alarm. “Rivera! Rivera! Don’t leave me!” I watched as Rivera disappeared. “He’s gone.” I walked home, defeated. “Phew!” I gasped, falling to my knees. Tired from all that walking around, I longed for a nice long nap in my bedroom. Most unfortunately for me, someone had that same idea. “Ahhhh!” I gasped. “Huh? W-what’s going o-on?” “What are you doing here?” I screamed. “Oh! So that’s why you screamed! I was tired,” answered Rivera. “Tired! Why are you in my room?!” I exclaimed. “Stop, like, screaming!” a voice piped up suddenly. “A ww, cheese, quit it sis!” I snapped. “A ww, Marilyn, you have a boy- friend!” My cheeks flushed red with em- barrassment as I glared at my sister. “Of course not, Kiki,” I replied sourly. “Then why is he, like, here?” asked Kiki. “I think that’s something I’d like to know too,” I replied, looking at Rivera expectantly. “I told you! I’m tired! Is there any respect for the guest here?” de- manded Rivera. “Of course there is! I’m so sorry about my sister, she’s so rude and immature! You can, like, totally sleep on her bed. And, like, she’s gonna so sleep on the living room couch,” answered Kiki. “Just a sec.” Kiki pulled me outside my bedroom. “Why do you have the totally cute boy- friend?” she asked. I scowled. “How many times do I have to tell you?! He’s not my boyfriend!” I yelled. “Ha! As if! I bet you luv him!” teased Kiki. “I don’t love him! I don’t even like him!” I retorted. “But he’s a boy. And he’s your friend,” Kiki pointed out. “OK, OK! He’s a boy…” I started. “Yeah…” egged my sister. “And he’s my friend…” I contin- ued. “Yeah…” said my sister, continu- ing to egg me on. “But he’s not my boyfriend!” I exclaimed, finishing my sentence. “A re you serious?! Can I, like, have him then?” asked Kiki. “No. He’s from the future so he’s not allowed,” I answered firmly. “Sure. You probably want him for yourself. You so luv him Marilyn!” exclaimed Kiki. “No, I don’t, I-” “A re you done your girl talk yet?” asked Rivera, poking his head out of my bedroom door. “Yeah,” I answered, hastily push- ing past Rivera to get into my bed- room. Slam! Kiki scoffed. “Sorry about that Rivera, my sister’s so rude,” explained Kiki. “It’s OK,” Rivera grinned. “Her personality is starting to grow on me.” No sooner had Kiki tried to go downstairs when… “Ahhhh!” My sister’s high-pitched scream made me sit up in alarm. At the same time Rivera got up from my bed. I looked at him. He nodded, as if agree- ing with me. We both ran downstairs right away. “What is, like, that thing?!” shrieked Kiki. On first glance it appeared to be an extremely large plant. On a closer scale, however, it proved to be an unbelievable huge number of spiny vines that appeared to be looking for something. “It’s looking for food,” explained Rivera knowingly. No sooner were the words out of Rivera’s mouth than the plant opened its mouth and grabbing my puppy, began to swallow it whole. “Oh no, Snowplow!” I exclaimed. “Get away from my puppy!” I shouted. This made the alien plant drop my puppy, but it went for me instead! “Hide!” screamed Rivera, at- tempting to push me out of the way. I fell to the floor. “Rivera!” I cried as the plant grabbed him and opened its mouth wide, preparing to eat him. “Get away from him, you stupid plant!” I yelled. “Marilyn, no, don’t do it!” ex- claimed Kiki. “Don’t worry, sis, I won’t be taken down by an idiot plant!” I retorted. Holding out my hand wide open, I yelled: “Let go of him!” Suddenly, I could feel the neck- lace pulsing on my neck and I felt its power once again flow through me. That same power made my whole body glow with whitish-blue light, identical to the glow of the necklace. Then out of nowhere, that light glowed through my hand and shone onto the plant. At first, the alien plant appeared to be frozen in its tracks. Then, fall- ing to the ground, it became a small pile of ashes, which blew through the open window and flowed with the wind, blowing where it would, flying to be free. Rivera fell to the ground, com- pletely unharmed. “We need to go Marilyn! I think these aliens are looking for you!” I nodded and followed him out the door. Af ter a bit of walking, Rivera spoke. “Marilyn, what was that?” he asked. I shook my head. If he was talking about the light, I didn’t know. “Hmm. I’ve never seen anything like that. I guess since the light came from the necklace the best weapon to use against those aliens is their own,” concluded Rivera. We walked over to the river where I had found the necklace. “That’s funny. Why is there a river here? Didn’t they build houses over it?” asked Rivera. “I guess they didn’t until your time,” I answered. Rivera frowned. “From the information that I got so far, the alien ship should be just across the river. Unfortunately, there is a barrier that prevents anyone from going near there, and no on but the aliens can see it.” He thought for a second. “Marilyn,” he asked after a while, “can you see the ship using the power of the necklace?” “I’ll try,” I replied. Focus, focus! I thought, aiming all my energy at using the necklace. At first, nothing, but then… “Whoa!” came the amazed cry of Rivera. I opened my eyes to discover… “Wow! Everything has gone black and white!” I exclaimed. “Look,” Rivera pointed. I gasped in awe. “It’s the spaceship!” I called. Rivera nodded. “Let’s go.” We both ran as fast as we could; the effect of the necklace would not last forever. “It’s the door,” announced Rivera. “I’ll push it open.” Barely the tip of his finger had touched the door when Rivera emit- ted a shout of pain. “What happened?” I wondered. He held out his finger to me. It was bleeding badly. “You’d better stop the bleeding. I’ll see what I’ve got with me.” I reached into my pocket. Noth- ing but my favourite handkerchief. Oh well, I suppose I could always get a new one, I thought. Ripping the top of the handker- chief with my teeth, I tied it tightly around his finger. “Favourite handkerchief?” asked Rivera. “Yeah,” I answered, looking down. He grinned. “I feel special. You must like me a lot, seeing as my finger is worth more than your favourite handkerchief.” I ignored him. Pushing the door open, I peered inside the spaceship. “Rivera,” I whispered, “let’s go.” We had barely walked through the door when… “Get down,” demanded Rivera quietly. He didn’t wait for me to listen. Knocking me down, he landed on me and rolled over to stay hidden in the shadows. As if on cue, three, giant, alien plants slithered through a gigantic door. “Hey, I smell human,” said the first alien. “Ha! As if! A human can’t see the spaceship you idiot!” exclaimed the second. “Well, I smell something weird,” announced the first alien. “What do you smell?” asked a deep voice. “It’s the boss!” shouted all three aliens. “Whoa,” breathed Rivera. ‘Whoa’ was right. This alien was about 18 feet, sixteen at the short- est. He was much taller than any of the other aliens, who were already eight- to 10-feet tall. Not to mention he had something the other aliens didn’t: a big teardrop-shaped jewel in the centre of his forehead, glowing a whit- ish-blue light, the same colour that was glowing from my necklace. “N-nothing boss…” “We didn’t smell anything…” “Yeah it must have been the wind making noises…” “We never said we smelled any- thing…” With a dark grunt, the giant alien went through a door and the other three followed. I sighed with relief, too loudly and too soon. “Boss, we did smell humans, look right there!” “A nd one of them has the sacred necklace!” Grabbing my hand, Rivera rushed into the next hallway where we came upon a hallway with two forks. “You go left, I’ll distract them and go right!” yelled Rivera. Although I was reluctant to leave Rivera, I nodded and obeyed. I ran as fast as I could down the hall and out of sight. Then, I stopped and began to eavesdrop. “You again! Where’s the girl?” “None of your stupid beeswax!” “Don’t give me attitude! You’ll be dead for letting the girl in here.” “Sure I will.” “Don’t use that tone with me!” I peeked around the corner of the hallway. The alien had snatched Ri- vera with its poisonous, spiky vine-like arms and was smashing him against the wall. “Don’t kill him.” I shuddered and moved closer into the corner. “B-boss!” “Don’t kill him, he might be able to tell us where the girl is.” “The one with the necklace?” “Who else?” “Right boss.” “Follow me.” I gasped. Rivera was in trouble! I ran down the hall as fast as I could. “Not so fast!” “Oh no!” I cried. I watched the alien ship come closer and closer... Beatrice Ngan First, Grade 7-8 Best of Contest The Ajax Public Library and News Advertiser held a short story contest this summer, encouraging young writers to tell us a space adventure. We received dozens of incredibly creative entries, all of which began with the line ‘I watched the alien ship come closer and closer...’ A team of judges picked the winners in each of three categories. Today is the second part of the winning submission for the Grade 7-8 level, which was also judged best of contest. The remainder of the story will appear in an upcoming edition.

By Jim Easson Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — After 40 years in the hack, I had never been part of scor- ing a rare ‘8-ender’. That was, how- ever, until the sixth end of a game in the Thursday Mixed League at the Annandale Curling Club. Skipping a team with vice Diane Lalonde, second Dave Martin and lead Diane Gottschalk, we accom- plished the rare feat of eight points in one end. We each receive an 8- ender pin from the Ontario Curling Association and will be named on its website and on a plaque. ••• Four Annandale junior teams are to compete at the Pepsi Junior Women and Junior Men’s Zones scheduled for Nov. 12 to 14 at the Sutton Curling Club, not Uxbridge, as previously reported. Also, the fourth team lineup will have Chan- tal Lalonde at skip, rather than her older sister Renee. Two winners of each of the double-knockout events go to regionals at the Richmond Hill Curling Club Nov. 26 and 27. ••• An Annandale team is entered in the Kia Cup Zone Playdown that leads to the Canadian Curling Championship, aka the Tim Hortons Brier. Jason March is set to skip Blair Metrakos, Graham Hill and Dave Kovacs. They head to the Uxbridge Curling Club for the zones Dec. 10 to 12. Two winners of the double- knockout playdown advance to re- gionals in Bancroft in January. ••• Pickering Olympian Richard Hart, vice for the Glenn Howard rink, faced heavy competition curl- ing in the $100,000 ‘National’, the first of four Grand Slam events on the World Curling Tour, in Port Hawkesbury, N.S. last weekend. The Howard rink won all its games until losing its semifinal match in an extra end to Wayne Middaugh. The Howard foursome is gearing up for the Tim Hortons Canadian Curling Trials in Halifax, N.S. from Dec. 3 to 11. The Howard team next heads to Utica, NY for the $34,000 Love New York Open Nov. 10 to 13. A.J.

Rare ‘8-ender’ achieved at Annandale Curling Club Lightning topple Brampton Thunder, take over f irst place Captain Eustace nets winner for Durham women DURHAM — The Durham Light- ning and first place were oxymorons in previous seasons. Not any more. Yo u can call them the first-place Lightning (6-2-3-1 for 16 points) for the first time in team history. The team took over sole pos- session of top spot in the National Women’s Hockey League Central Division standings with a solid 3-2 victory over the Thunder in Bramp- ton recently. The game served as the back end of a two-game set with the Thunder, with the Lightning earning three of a possible four points against their old nemesis. The contest was also the end of a stretch of five games in eight nights for the Lightning. They came through the tough span with flying colours, posting a solid 2-0-2-1 re- cord. Te am captain Joanne Eustace took a leading role in Saturday’s vic- tory, breaking up a 2-2 tie in the third with the game-winner. Eustace is in the top-10 in league scoring with 12 points (seven goals, five as- sists) in 12 games. The Lightning led 2-0 after two periods on goals by Meagan Aarts and Kyla Gillespie. The Thunder, however, replied with two in the third. Desirae Clark earned her fifth win of the season in net, facing 34 shots. The Lightning are off for just more than a week. They next face the Quebec Avalanche of the NWHL’s East Division at the Ajax Commu- nity Centre on Saturday, Nov. 19 at 7:50 p.m. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Annandale’s Bev Reed competes at the ladies’ Freeze Bonspiel Wednesday.

Next time that craving hits, make a visit to Ajax’s newest restaurant, The Baywood Café. Opened on October 11, The Baywood Café serves up breakfast all day and features an extensive choice of tasty dishes. Choose from pancakes (chocolate chips, blueberries, bananas or simply plain with a dusting of icing sugar), Eggs Benedict (traditional with shaved ham, or something different like smoked salmon or spinach or peameal), or if you feel adventurous, try their spicy chicken sausages or turkey cranberry sausages. If you’ve already had breakfast, The Baywood Café also features traditional deli-style items. Just a few samples off the menu: hard-to-resist homemade soups, chili, delicious sandwiches—such as westerns, Club House, Ruebens and homemade burgers—nutritious salads and even hot roast beef or hot turkey dinners. Of course nothing goes better with a good meal than a fi ne cup of coffee, and patrons are sure to fi nd that here as The Baywood Café serves Timothy’s Coffee. If you need a break from work or play and crave something a little different, pull up a chair to the wonderful espresso and cappuccino bar, where the specialty coffees are made with custom roasted espresso beans.

Ontario’s Greenbelt is a vast piece of protected countryside that wraps around the Golden Horseshoe and helps filter, store and provide the very water we drink. The thousands of rivers, ponds and lakes in the Greenbelt provide an important source of water that feeds into Lake Ontario, Lake Simcoe, Georgian Bay and the Kawartha Lakes. It’s also home to hundreds of species of aquatic life. So the way we see it, when so many depend on it for their clean water, it’s the ultimate watering hole.

For the third time this season, the At- tack took points from the Legionaires, winning at the Oshawa Civic Audito- rium 5-4 on Tuesday night. This time, the Ajacians used special-teams play to subdue the Oshawa juniors, going 3-for- 6 on the power play. The win lifts the Attack (5-15-0-1 for 11 points) four points clear of the strug- gling Legionaires for eighth place in the nine-team South Conference standings. The Attack led 5-2 after 40 minutes, with Oshawa making it close, but not able to get the equalizer past Nunzio Presta.

Here is a true story about my great-grandfather. Many people were involved in World War II and my great-grandfather was one of them. My great-grandfather was a brave soldier and a very loving man. He went over to Europe to fight for his country and later on started to defend a European orphanage. He became very close to the orphans and always went there to see them. Months after that on Christmas day, he and his fellow soldiers went to find presents for the orphans while other soldiers stayed behind to guard them. They couldn’t wait to see the look on the orphans faces when they brought the gifts back. When he got back, the whole city was bombed including the orphanage. He started to panic and later found out that all the orphans and the soldiers that stayed behind had died. He had felt very sad for many years. Many years after the war, he had moved on and raised a beautiful family and now had grandchildren, but never forgot about his experiences. On christmas day his family gathered at his house for Christmas. My great-grandpa was sitting downstairs watching TV while all the kids were downstairs also, complaining about what they got for Christmas and what they wanted. Then my great-grandfather thought back about the orphanage and all the orphans that were just thankful being alive and then they died on Christmas day and never once complained at what they received at any time of the year. The only thing they really ever wished for was to be adopted. After minutes of thinking about his past, he asked all the whinny kids and the adults to come to where he was, and the kids did so. Then my great-grandfather told them about what happened at the orphanage in Europe. The kids got very emotional about the terrible story and never complained the rest of the day or the years after. Even though I bet my great-grandfather did not want to be in the war like many others, he enjoyed the company of the orphans when he went to visit them and was proud of himself for defending his country. I wish I knew a lot more about what happened when my great- grandfather was in the war, but ever since the war finished he was very quiet and didn’t like to talk about the war. Remembrance day is a special time of the year and this is just one of the millions of stories about World War II. My great-grandfather died of natural causes and I am very proud of his accomplishments and even though I wasn’t alive to meet him I admire him and I really wish I could have met him.
