Premier McGuinty commits to review of how municipal services delivered By Danielle Milley and Erin Hatfield Staff Writers PICKERING — It is a $3 bil- lion dollar gap that Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said he hopes a review of municipal services will bridge. “Durham residents understand what $3 billion dollars means to their property tax,” Mr. Ander- son said. “They understand that one third of their property tax, almost, is a result of us providing provincially mandated services that should be paid for by the Province.” The Association of Munici- palities of Ontario (AMO) and the Province will together re- view how municipal services are funded and delivered in Ontar- io. “AMO’s goal and the mu- nicipalities of Ontario’s goal is sustainable funding,” said Mr. Anderson, who’s term as AMO president ended Aug. 16. “So when the Premier announced the review that was to me the icing on the cake after two years Saturn Saab of Pickering 980 Kingston Road, Pickering Between Liverpool Rd. & Whites Rd.905-839-6159 Bad credit?

At a press conference Thursday morning, detectives from the sexual assault units of both Durham and York Regional Police Services released pho- tos of the man accused in the case, 39-year-old Michael Ross Stratton, of Whitby, hoping people will recognize him and come forward. “This man seems to have committed some very, very serious offences and we would like to be able to offer some support to the victims he left in his path,” said YRPS Inspector Mike Flem- ing. Mr. Stratton is currently before the courts on 28 charges, including making child pornography, sexual assault and sexual exploitation. There is a publica- tion ban covering his initial court ap- pearance in July. Police said the investigation began on June 27 after an officer responded to a distraught young woman threatening suicide. Mr. Stratton was arrested on June 28. While investigating, cops searched Mr. Stratton’s Whitby home and seized a large collection of child pornography, as well as computer equipment. So far, the investigation has revealed a total of 10 victims ranging in age from five to adult. Three remain unidentified. Two of the unknown victims were caught on videotape, believed to have been taken at Mr. Stratton’s Rosedale Drive residence, in the mid 1990s, po- lice say. The two white, female victims were approximately seven-years-old at the time and would now be in their late teens. A third female victim of approximately the same age has also been identified -- police say she is now living outside the province. It is believed Mr. Stratton’s preda- tory behaviour dates back to the late 1980s. Police said some of his victims were lured to his home by a party atmosphere that included drugs and alcohol. Police say that he is unmarried and often goes by his middle name, Ross. Anyone with information about the accused is asked to contact Det. Rob Stoddart of the Major Crime Sexual Assault Unit at 905-579-1520 ext. 5363. Calls related to Mr. Stratton’s time in Yo rk Region should be directed to 905- 895-1221 ext. 7170. $499 Warm Tuscan olive bread with fresh basil, Capocollo, ham, Genoa salami, Provolone cheese and roasted red peppers Plus applicable taxes. *Marque de commerce de Petro-Canada - Trademark Kingston Rd.&BrockRd. beside the Petro-Canada station on the southeast corner Limited time!

The review will set out to improve the delivery and funding of municipal pro- grams and services. Its aim is a sustainable, provincial-municipal rela- tionship where both levels of government can meet their responsibilities. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan attended the AMO confer- ence. He welcomed the an- nouncement, but pointed out it is something Pickering and other municipalities have been trying to get the Prov- ince to do for years. “[It] was received very posi- tively,” he said. “I’m also supportive of the initiative, but it’s something we’ve been asking for since before he (Premier McGuinty) was elected.” Wa rd 1 Regional Council- lor Maurice Brenner echoed those sentiments. “I’m glad that he’s talking about it, but I’m very disap- pointed in the 18-month time frame he’s talking about,” he said. “It’s something that should have happened a long time ago.” The Provincial-Municipal Fiscal and Service Delivery Review will be conducted by elected officials from both levels of government over the next 18 months and a report will be released in the spring of 2008. The review will delve into affordability for both levels of government and fairness for taxpayers and timely infra- structure investments. It will also review provincial and municipal services de- livered across Ontario, long- term economic development and prosperity for Ontario and its communities. Mayor Ryan has been say- ing for some time there needs to be changes to what is fund- ed by the residential tax base as Pickering, as well as other municipalities across the re- gion and the province, strug- gle to balance its budget. “We have a fiscal injustice for the services that are being paid off the property tax base,” he said. Mr. Anderson said AMO would make sure the an- nouncement is followed through. “A s past president for the next two years, I look for- ward to making sure that the Province or any other govern- ments that should be formed honours the outcome of the review and hopefully leg- islates the changes that are necessary,” he said. ✦ It’s from page 1 ‘It’s something that should have happened a long time ago’: Brenner POST TIME 1:20 P.M. 388 KINGSTON ROAD EAST • AJAX LIVE QUARTER HORSE RACING EVERY SUNDAY!

Tw o men charged with fraud after purchase attempts PICKERING — Two men are in police custody after alleg- edly attempting to purchase high-end computer equip- ment with a counterfeit cred- it card in Pickering Monday night. Durham police say an off- duty Toronto police officer observed two men acting in a suspicious manner at The Source Electronics store on Kingston Road. The officer assisted store staff in detaining them when they attempted to buy an ex- pensive laptop computer with a counterfeit credit card. Durham officers were called and arrested the two men. During the search of the suspects, police recovered three counterfeit credit cards and a blank plastic card which police said is used only for debit/credit card fraud. Gajan Ramchandran, 22, of Thorndale Road in Brampton and Brinthaaban Chandraseg- aram, 19, of Keele Street in To ronto are jointly charged w ith: attempt fraud under $5,000; conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, four counts of unlawful possession of credit card data and four counts of possession of instru- ments used in forging credit cards. As a result of a police search of Mr. Ramchandran’s resi- dence early Tuesday morn- ing, he faces three counts of unlawful possession of credit card data and two counts of possession of instruments used in forging credit cards. Both men appeared in court Tuesday morning and their bail hearings were put over until Friday, Aug. 25. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Detective Constable Jeff Caplan of the Major Fraud Unit at 905-683-9100 exten- sion 5702. Or call Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222- (TIPS) 8477. EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR GM Canada earns hot new model Monday’s announcement that Oshawa will build the spanking new version of the Camaro was a hit on all sorts of levels. It was certainly a dream start for GM Canada president Ar- turo Elias, who recently came up from his post as GM Mexico head to take over in Oshawa. The ebullient executive couldn’t have asked for better news and a more glorious kickoff. The deal, which will see a new flex plant constructed in Oshawa and Camaro production start in late 2008 for a 2009 release, also completes an 18-month roller-coaster ride. In March 2005 the $2.8-billion Beacon project was announced to great fanfare. The Beacon project involves GM, the federal and provincial governments and colleges and universities in a multi-level plan at investment, innovation and technology. That high was followed by the low of last November’s an- nouncement that GM Canada could lose all car production at plants No. 1 and No. 2 by the end of 2008. And then, we had Monday. And the Camaro is back after the last model came off the line in 2002 at the now demol- ished Ste. Therese, Quebec plant. But what does it all mean for workers and the Durham and Ontario economy? The building of a flex plant all but guarantees thousands of assembly and parts jobs for many years to come. GM Canada is investing $740 million into a flex plant that will be able to produce several different models simultaneously depending on market demand. So, if the Camaro isn’t a huge hit and slumps several years after it is launched, GM should be able to quickly fill the void with other hot sellers. With award-winning models like the Impala and Monte Carlo constructed in Oshawa for a number of years now, it’s no surprise GM chose the Oshawa autoplex to bring back the Camaro. Workers at all three plants have been at or near the top for years in quality and productivity standards measured against plants across North America. There is no doubt they will be able to continue that trend with the Camaro. While there will be fewer jobs at GM in 2009 then there are today, it’s hoped through retirements and buyouts that few if any need to be laid-off. That’s a relief to many workers and their families who dreaded the worst if all car production was dropped at the Oshawa autoplex. GM has seen the future and that clearly includes Durham. If the U.S. can slow down trucks, why can’t we To the editor: Re: ‘Let’s slow down those big rigs’, Aug. 20 column. Yo ur article touched on a complaint I have had for many years. Many states in the U.S. have lower speed limits for trucks and most seem to enforce them quite well. It is much more pleasant to drive on the roads with lower truck limits than it is in Ontario. If I am travelling to the east or west coast I drive as much as possible through the states for this reason. I have written the minister of transport on more than one occasion and have received completely ridiculous excuses why Ontario can’t do this. Sgt. Cam Woolley of the OPP was on TV the other night saying truck drivers are better than car drivers and that you should keep your distance from big trucks. This is not so easy to do when you have trucks in all three lanes doing 120 kilometres per hour with one sitting almost on your back bumper. Please keep up the good work in bringing this solution to the proper people. W.A.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, AUGUST 25, 2006 durhamregion.com P ickering is being defaced by some unwelcome “artists.” The City of Pickering and the Durham Regional Police Service have noticed an increase in graffiti over the past few weeks. Generally the throes of summer are a hot time for graffiti, as temperatures are more favourable for nighttime spray-painting sessions and youth, free from the responsibil- ity of homework, have so much more time on their hands. But, the incidents this summer have been more serious than the norm. While many might think this pas- time is a nuisance and not really harmful, recent incidences of graf- fiti in Pickering have been so serious they’ve been classified as hate crimes by the police. Police Chief Vernon White also said there has been an increase in gang tagging in recent years, which might just look like an indistinguishable black spray-paint marking on, say, an electrical box, when really it means there is a gang marking its territory in your neighbourhood. Graffiti is a serious issue and people need to be aware and report any inci- dents to the City through its Eyes on the Street program or the police. The two teamed up for a recent cleanup in the city, which served to not only beautify Pickering, but also to send out the message about being proac- tive. The mischief of graffiti is usually also associated with underage drink- ing and drug use, which can lead to more serious crimes or people getting hurt. During a recent cleanup under a bridge over Pine Creek, a needle was found among the trash. People should think of that the next time they hear or see teenagers in their neighbourhood drinking or making a lot of noise, but think nothing of it. The good news is not all young peo- ple are into this kind of behaviour – it was a group of young people who spent the day cleaning up the Pine Creek site, as well as many others. Graffiti can be a beautiful form of art and there are many graffiti artists who use it as their outlet for creative expression. But, generally they are doing it on property where an owner has given them permission. Illegally defacing private or public property is not a welcome form of expression. Those responsible for the graffiti should think about a more productive pastime and residents should con- tinue to keep an eye out so their tax dollars aren’t being used to repeatedly clean up Pickering’s graffiti hot spots.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 25, 2006 PAGE 9 A/Pdurhamregion.com DURHAM — A 56-year- old Nestleton man is dead following an accident at the Mosport International Raceway in Clarington. The man was driving his 1970 vintage motorcycle shortly after 10 a.m. on Aug. 17 when he skidded off the track and into the grassy centre oval area, po- lice said. Only a few other motor- cyclists were on the track at the time. The man was rushed to nearby Lakeridge Health Bowmanville with no vital signs. Investigators continue to interview witnesses although foul play is not suspected. The man was considered to be an expe- rienced driver. An autopsy is being scheduled to determine the cause of death. The name of the man is not being released until his next of kin can be noti- fied. Anyone with informa- tion regarding this incident who hasn’t already spoken with police is asked to call Cst. Cormack at 905-579- 1520 ext. 5267. Anonymous calls can be made to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-TIPS.

Durham Region hosting waste open houses, including session in Ajax Search on to find waste site DURHAM — Three public information sessions are being held next month on what criteria should be used when picking an in- cineration site. Durham Region is holding the events so members of the public can find out what is being proposed and provide input. In June, Regional council endorsed using thermal treatment of waste and recovery of energy as the preferred way for handling residential garbage. With the preferred method selected, the next step is finding a location. Durham and York regions are working together on the project, so the site would be in one of the regions. The public information sessions will run from 7 to 9 p.m. and are being held: • Tuesday, Sept. 12 in the North Hall of the Garnet B. Rickard Complex, 2440 King St. W., Bowmanville • Wednesday, Sept. 13 in the HMS Ajax Room of the Ajax Community Centre, 75 Centennial Rd., Ajax • Thursday, Sept. 14 at the Scugog Com- munity Centre, 1655 Reach St., Port Perry.

Each year the current resus- citative techniques and stan- dards are reviewed by ILCOR (an international regulatory body) for effectiveness and simplicity. The largest update in the past decade has now been released. St. John Ambulance offers instruction in these new meth- ods starting Friday, Sept. 1 in all of its existing programs. The new standards are meant to be more effective and easier to re- member. All programs will have the same price, name, and duration as the old courses. To update a current certificate, recertifica- tion programs are available, along with First Aid and CPR courses for everyone. This does not change the va- lidity of any training received in the past. Those qualified should continue to provide CPR and First Aid until they can be recertified. For more information, or to register for a program, call 905- 434-7800.

Just nine months ago, General Motors said it would eliminate the third shift at plant No. 1 by the second half of 2006 as part of the com- pany’s turnaround strategy aimed at reducing costs and up to 30,000 North American jobs. But now well into Au- gust, plant No. 1 continues to run at full capacity, put- ting out 1,476 units of the Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo every day. With close to 1,000 people working what is commonly known as the graveyard shift, the news that the third shift will stay until the flexible manufacturing facility opens in 2008 means many jobs will be saved from elimination. And it has little to do with the Camaro. GM spokes- woman Patty Faith says it is all thanks to the continued success of the Impala, a four- door sedan with E85 capa- bilities. “The good news here is that the third shift that we were going to eliminate is now not going to be elimi- nated,” she said. “And it is due to Impala sales.” Both the Monte Carlo and the Impala have been gold mines for General Motors. The Monte Carlo received bronze in the mid-size sporty car segment by J.D Power in 2006 as well as their APEAL (Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) award that same year. Both cars were listed as “recommended” vehicles by consumer reports through- out the year. The Impala remains a ris- ing star with sales increasing by more than 145 per cent in June 2006 from the same month in 2005. CAW Local 222 president Chris Buckley says the news that the third shift is staying doesn’t come as a surprise. “All of this is market- driven. Right now sales are dictating to leave the third shift on. We know at any time based on consumer demand whether we have two shifts or three shifts,” he said. “Consumers are realizing the Impala and Monte Carlo are fantastic vehicles and that’s why sales are maintain- ing three shifts,” he added. Even Federal Finance Min- ister Jim Flaherty praised the Impala. “When I became a federal cabinet minister I can tell you that the product I was driving wasn’t a General Motors ve- hicle. It is now a Chevrolet Impala built right here in Os- hawa,” he said, adding that he has been very impressed with the environmentally-friendly capabilities of the car, which is equipped to handle up to 85 per cent ethanol fuel. “More people need to know about the environ- mental advantages of that vehicle,” he said. “I talk about it every chance I get across Canada and in the United States.” Start your engines: Camaro ready to roar Enthusiasts applaud return By Izabela Jaroszynski Staff Writer DURHAM — For Tami and Paul Hamilton having the Chevrolet Camaro built in Oshawa is a dream come true. The Oshawa couple has owned their 1969 Camaro for 11 years and can hardly wait for the new model to come off the assembly lines in their own hometown. “Its a great muscle car,” Ms. Hamilton said. “It has a great history behind it.” First produced in 1967, the Camaro quickly became an American classic. In its 35- year history, General Motors produced nearly 4.8 million units of the Camaro. Origi- nally built in the now-de- molished GM plant at Ste. Therese, Quebec, the car was discontinued in 2002 because of slumping sales. But for enthusiasts like Mr. Hamilton, the Camaro obses- sion has never faded. “I’ve always loved the car,” he said. “People were devas- tated when they stopped pro- ducing it and are anticipating its return. I think it will sell well. People have been wait- ing for this.” And Mr. Hamilton is cer- tainly not alone with his love of the Camaro. More than 1,000 Camaro clubs exist around the world and thou- sands of Camaro-inspired websites pay homage to the sports coupe on the Internet. According to GM, some con- sumers have already sent in certified cheques in hopes of placing early deposits. When he made the an- nouncement last week that GM will bring back the Ca- maro, CEO Rick Wagoner said the enthusiastic response from consumers reminds him of the iconic place GM products have in customers’ hearts. “Camaro is much more than a car,” he said. “It sym- bolizes America’s spirit and its love affair with the auto- mobile.” Ron Elliott, a truck plant employee and owner of a 1969 black Camaro classic, says having the car built in town will be a great boost to the economy and will get people excited about the GM brand. According to GM, the new Camaro will be nearly identical to the concept car unveiled to rave reviews in January 2006 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, where it was named best in show. The front-engine, rear-wheel- drive sport coupe will feature an independent rear suspen- sion, and owners will be able to choose between manual or automatic transmission and V-6 or V-8 engines. And while some are con- cerned that a sports car runs counter to the current con- sumer trend of buying small- er, more fuel-efficient cars, GM’s David Paterson is not worried. The vice-president of cor- porate and environmental af- fairs says that new technolo- gy, like the fuel-management systems currently being used in many GM vehicles, show that cars can be both power- ful and fuel-efficient. “All the new technology that’s helping us to drive great fuel economy right now is all available to us to put into this vehicle,” he said. “Already with the Corvette, it has abso- lutely excellent fuel economy and yet is one of the most powerful cars on the road today. So you can have both and we will have both (in the Camaro).” Production of the car is ex- pected to begin in late 2008 and it will go on sale in early 2009.

He was acclaimed to the position after his only opponent, Willie Lambert, dropped out of the running on Wednesday and threw his support behind Mr. Hargrove. The 62-year-old has been president of the CAW since 1992 and this will be his final term. Under the union’s constitution leadership must retire at the age of 65. Mr. Hargrove said that his continuing goal over the new term will be to main- tain a tough, militant collective-bargaining agenda as well as strong advocacy on social justice and community activism. The 265,000 members of the national union include employees at the General Motors plant in Oshawa as well as various companies throughout Durham Region.

Clarington mayor pleads not guilty to assault charges Trial date set for January DURHAM — Clarington’s mayor has pleaded not guilty to two charges of assault, and will now go to trial in Janu- ary. The plea was made in Os- hawa court Tuesday morning, although Mayor John Mutton was not in attendance. He was represented by an agent as he was in his last two court appearances on July 11 and Aug. 8. The mayor was arrested and charged with two counts of assault in June. Durham Regional Police have refused to provide any information on the matter, citing concern for identifying alleged vic- tims. Some details of his court appearances and the names of the alleged victims are pro- tected by a publication ban. On Tuesday, not guilty pleas were entered for both charges. A two-day trial is scheduled for Jan. 29 and 31. Mayor Mutton has so far declined to comment on the case, on the advice of his law- yer. According to court docu- ments, he is awaiting trial on $5,000 bail, posted by his fa- ther, Ronald Mutton. As a condition of his bail, Mayor Mutton must not con- tact the victims and must re- side with his father. He is not permitted to be outside his residence unless in an “alco- hol-free state.” The mayor is seeking re- election for a third term in this fall’s municipal election, slated for Nov. 13. www.sklargallery.com Exceptional Warranty Superior Construction Fast Delivery life • style • solutions OSHAWA 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 905-723-4561 Hours: Mon.• Tues.• Wed. 10-6, Thurs.• Fri. 10-9, Sat. 10-6, Sun.11-5 Durham’s Newest & Largest Sklar Peppler Furnishings Store! *Prices include GST discount **Discount equal to the value of the GST Reclining Funiture Durham’s Largest Selection of MICROFIBRE RECLINING SOFA from$89999 REG. $1299.99 MICROFIBRE SOFA from$599 99 REG. $1099.99 ALL LEATHER RECLINING CHAIRS from$599 99 REG. $1299.99 CLEARANCE Floor Model EXTRA SAVINGS **** ** * SPECIAL PURCHASES • Love Seat Available •• Love Seat Available • Monthly account fee $11.95 1/3 Service Charge RBC ATM withdrawal $0.00 Retail purchase $0.00 Student Loan payment $0.00 Online Hydro payment $0.00 Online Gas payment $0.00 Automatic car payment $0.00 Cheque #354 $0.00 Credit Card payment $0.00 Retail purchase $0.00 Restaurant $0.00 Cheque #355 $0.00 RBC ATM withdrawal $0.00 Te lephone bill payment $0.00 Grocery purchase $0.00 RBC ATM withdrawal $0.00 RBC ATM withdrawal $0.00 Cheque #356 $0.00 Retail purchase $0.00 The RBC No Limit Account TM Bank as often as you want for one fl at monthly fee.

The earner of this year’s highest average in the Durham Catholic District School Board, Mr. Matienzo, of All Saints Catholic Sec- ondary School, finished his academic career with a 97.5 per cent average. “I’m used to high marks, but I didn’t expect to get the highest in the area,” said Mr. Matienzo, who scored aver- ages of around 96 per cent in previous years. Throughout the school year, Mr. Matienzo was in- volved in a friendly, high- mark-competition with another student, which he said helped bring up his av- erage. Along with working on his marks, Mr. Matienzo said he was sure to maintain bal- ance in his life and partici- pate in extracurricular ac- tivities. During high school, he was the assistant editor of his school’s newspaper, a student council member, head of All Saints’ website committee, an Ontario stu- dent against impaired driv- ing, a member of the tech team, a tutor, and a volun- teer at Lakeridge Health Whitby. “Just study hard, but make sure you have a good balance between social life and recreation because high school only passes by once,” said Mr. Matienzo. His advice to other stu- dents who want to do well is to listen closely in class. “If a class is an hour and you don’t listen, it will prob- ably take you an hour and a half (to learn) by yourself at home,” said Mr. Matienzo. This September, he’s going to the University of To ronto for computer en- gineering; his hard work in high school earned him a $5,000 scholarship to at- tend. Although he’s been told to expect his average to drop by 10 per cent in post-secondary, getting the top mark for the Durham Catholic board has inspired him to aim for 90 per cent. “It’s going to push me a little bit above those stan- dards,” said Mr. Matienzo. As for what he’ll do after university, he’s still unsure. “I’m hoping in university, the first and second year, I’ll be able to answer that,” said Mr. Matienzo. He said he took computer engineering because he likes computers and enjoyed the exposure to engineering he received in high school. “I’m also a person who’s always been very curious in how things work,” said Mr. Matienzo. “Engineering, you design things and make them work.” Mr. Matienzo plans to live in residence during his first year of university.

The Pickering painter works plein air (out of doors), finding a spot that catches her eye and then setting up her portable easel and paints. “I’ll just go somewhere that I like and I set myself up and do a painting right on the spot,” she says, noting some are finished in one sitting while others are com- pleted in her home studio. “The experience is a lot more immediate. The sense of colour is more accurate. Cameras don’t really get the colours; your eye perceives colour better than a camera does. I also like the im- mediacy of being there.” Ms. Jewer says the experience of working plein air also allows her to better experience and ap- preciate the beauty of a scene. “You become more open to the beauty, as well,” she says. “It’s ac- tually an incredible experience.” An exhibition of 32 of Ms. Jew- er’s acrylic landscape paintings are on exhibit until Sept. 11 at the McLean Community Centre in Ajax. She often returns to favourite locations, including Petticoat Creek, which figures in five or six of the works on display. “I can walk there,” she laughs, when asked why she frequents the area. “It’s a really beautiful park and I can walk there.” Ms. Jewer confesses that she’s also drawn to water, making the park, with its pretty creek, an ideal spot for her to work. As well, the bridge over the creek has become a favourite subject. She says a painting generally takes two to three hours to com- plete, and Ms. Jewer brings her camera along just in case a more transient element of the scene pops up that can be captured and then incorporated into the paint- ing later. She notes that when you’re sit- ting for that length of time out- doors, something is bound to happen. An example is when she was painting, and not for the first time, an island in the marsh at Alex Robertson Park. “A family of geese swam right in front of the island while I was painting,” she recalls, noting she took a photo and the geese made their way into her work. Asked how long she’s been a painter, Ms. Jewer replies “a long time. “I studied fine art in univer- sity, got into graphic design for a while, and have gotten back into painting and teaching,” she says. She teaches adults and chil- dren, working for the Town of Ajax, often in the community room at Lincoln Alexander Pub- lic School and at the McLean Community Centre. ‘Cameras don’t really get the colours; your eye per- ceives colour better than a camera does. I also like the immediacy of being there.’ JUDITH JEWER Ms. Jewer also has a puppetry class with children, which she particularly enjoys. The students make a sock puppet, made sturdy with the use of cardboard, and then make up a story for the characters and put on a play for their parents. “I love puppetry, I think, be- cause it’s like a beautiful com- bination of drama and art,” Ms. Jewer says. The McLean Community Cen- tre is open to the public Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. There is no admission charge to see the exhibition. Ms. Jewer also has a website, www.museon.com. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Pickering resident Judith Jewer is currently holding her first one-woman art show at the McLean Community Centre in Ajax. The exhibition, which includes 32 of Ms. Jewer’s acrylic landscape paintings, goes until Sept. 11. //4% The top five Canadian films One of the great regrets I have about this great land is our national cinema, our virtually invisible na- tional cinema. It really is quite sad because Canadian films can be ex- cellent works of art, as good as any- thing on display in theatres around the planet. What is shocking is that our films are hailed and adored in Europe and the United States but Canadian audiences are loathe to watch a Canadian film. This week, to celebrate Canadian cinema, I choose the five best Cana- dian films of all time: ‘A tanarjuat: The Fast Runner’ (2001)... An astonishing film that sweeps one into its haunting world with majesty and absolute realism. Set 1,000 ago, the film explores a war between relatives among the Inuit people in the far north. Direc- tor Zacharias Kunuk creates a spell- binding film. ‘The Sweet Hereafter’ (1997)... Atom Egoyan’s Oscar-nominated adaptation of the Russell Banks’ novel is a searing study of grief and healing that comes to a small town when a tragic bus accident takes all but one of the town’s children. Extraordinary performances from Bruce Greenwood and Sarah Polley dominate the picture but it is Egoy- an’s delicate and heartfelt direction that makes the film soar. ‘The Barbarian Invasions’ (2003)... Denys Arcand’s Oscar win- ner for foreign language film was a sequel of sorts to his The Decline of the American Empire (1987). The film is shockingly full of life and hope and forgiveness as those around the irascible professor see the good in him and he in them. ‘Goin’ Down the Road’ (1970)... The one that started it all. Don She- bib’s film about two Maritimers who come to Toronto seeking better jobs, women and a better life was the film that started it all for Canadian cin- ema. ‘The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz’ (1974)... Based on one of the most beloved Canadian nov- els of all time, this film adaptation was made with obvious loving care. Richard Dreyfuss gives perhaps his finest performance as Duddy, the little hustler on the make, who be- trays and lies to everyone he loves to get his precious land.

Amanda McMillan, 15, an Arch- bishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School stu- dent and the starting goal- keeper with the Jaguars, shut down the Mississauga Clarkson Comets 2-1 in the bronze- medal game. In the semifinal match, the Jaguars were relegated to the bronze-medal contest after dropping a 1-0 decision to Oakville Phantoms, with the winning goal coming in the last two minutes of the game, with an Oakville player heading the ball past McMillan on a free kick in front of the Scarborough/Wexford goal. The Phantoms went on to win Ontario Cup gold. In earlier games, the Jaguars de- feated the Ottawa South United Force 2-1 and Bolton Wanderers 3-0. Amanda started playing house league soccer with the Ajax Warriors and Ajax Azzurri before moving on to compete at the rep level. She’s been playing for the Scarborough/Wexford Jaguars organization for the past four years. [ Hockey ] Ajax Attack attend tourney in Huntsville AJAX — The Ajax Attack junior ‘A’ hockey team will attend the pre- season Cottage Cup Tournament in Huntsville this weekend. The six-team event also includes two Huntsville-Muskota Otters teams and the Seguin Bruins from the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League, along with the North Bay Skyhawks and the Manitoulin Island- ers from the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League. The Attack continue their training camp at the Ajax Community Centre today (Friday) with a morning session from 8 to 11 am. and an afternoon session from 1 to 4 p.m. The camp continues Monday at the same times. Wanted: One experienced goalie for Pickering Panthers Sampson signed, but junior ‘A’ club still seeking No. 1 puckstopper By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — The Pickering Panthers received a bit of good news, but are nonetheless worried about a big hole in the roster at the opening of the junior ‘A’ hockey team’s training camp on Monday. A big boost to the team’s for- tunes came as forward Brett Con- nolly returned to training camp, which got underway this week at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Connolly was expected to vie for a spot with the Gatineau Olympiques of the Quebec major junior league, but after a short time in Gatineau, returned to the Panthers. “He went to Gatineau and gave it a shot,” says Panthers’ head coach John Winder. “He doesn’t have a spot in the OHL (Ontario Hockey League), so he’s going to play in Pickering and he’ll play at univer- sity next fall.” Connolly played a big role on last year’s Panthers squad, finish- ing second in scoring behind Justin Fox with 53 points (30 goals, 23 assists). The big left winger’s also known for his rugged play as a prototypical power forward, having racked up 187 penalty minutes, the most on the team. Connolly and the rest of the Pan- thers in camp got their first taste of pre-season hockey against the Cobourg Cougars of the OHA On- tario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League’s East Conference at the Pickering Recreation Complex Thursday night, after our press deadline. The Panthers have a re- turn game in Cobourg against the Cougars tonight (Friday) at 8:30 p.m. Storm clouds, however, are hovering over the Panthers who are without a No. 1 goaltender, although the team has already signed Connor Sampson from the Port Perry MoJacks junior ‘C’ club. Last year’s starter, Mark Duchesne, is attending college in London, and last year’s backup, Bryan Eustace, has elected to enter the work force and won’t be back with the club. Winder acknowledges that job one is finding a goaltender with some junior hockey experience who can step in and start. Sampson “is new to the league, so we’re going to bring him along slowly. We need a top-flight start- ing goaltender and we don’t have that as of right now,” says Winder. “(Panthers GM) Frank (Robinson) is pounding the beat to find a No. 1 goalie. Connor has junior ‘C’ ex- perience, but we need a goaltender who’s been in our league, a 19-, 20-year-old type guy who’s ready to step into the number-one role.” Training camp officially got underway Sunday night when all players underwent fitness testing and Winder was more than pleased with the outcome. “We’re really stressing fitness this year,” says Winder. “We did the fitness testing on Sunday and we were really impressed with the results. We wanted to see how much they improved between June and August. We told them what we wanted and we got it. Every player had improved during the summer.” This year, unlike previous years, the camp is different with virtually the entire roster picked and signed over the summer months, with the exception of two forwards and, of course, a starting goaltender. Winder says the extreme competi- tion for junior ‘A’ players among junior hockey outlets in Durham Region necessitated this change in the way the club’s camp is adminis- tered. But, with a lack of competition for jobs at camp, Winder says he’s kept the tempo high by including a number of Panther alumni, most of which are OHL players and college players in the U.S. Camp players include Tyler Melancon (Guelph Storm), Phil McIlhone (Oshawa Generals), Marcus Carroll (Owen Sound Attack), Kyle Van de Bos- poort (Barrie Colts), Garret Winder, Dan Schofield, Curtis McLean, Dan Sullivan, Derek Lyndon, Andrew Dissanayake from various NCAA programs, and pro players TJ Kemp and Jeff Miles, from the East Coast Hockey League. “We’ve been trying to get some high-tempo scrimmages this week. We’ve mixed them up a bit (alumni playing with current players) and it’s worked out well,” says Winder. The Panthers’ next home pre- season contest is against the Bow- manville Eagles at the Pickering Recreation Complex Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. A.J.

PICKERING — Pickering Olym- pic hurdler Perdita Felicien left no doubt in Austria Tuesday that’s she finally healthy and ready to race. The 2003 world champion and six-time Canadian champion in the 100-metre hurdles won her first international event of the outdoor track season at the Intersport Gugl- Meeting in Linz, Austria. She out- raced Anay Tejeda, of Cuba, and Athens Olympics gold medallist Jo- anna Hayes. Felicien won the race in 12.69 seconds. Bothered by nagging injuries, most recently a tear in her left ham- string muscle, Felicien, 25, skipped the indoor season and only recently returned to the outdoor track and field scene. The Austria meet rep- resented her first international win in a year, as she won the prestigious DN Galan event in Stockholm, Swe- den last summer. In an earlier interview, Felicien notes her confidence returned in a major way after winning the hurdles title at the Canadian Track and Field Championships in Ottawa earlier this month. On Sunday, she raced at the Monaco Grand Prix event where she finished third in 12.75, behind Americans Michelle Perry (12.60) and LoLo Jones (12.74). Felicien is planning to run at major international events in Es- tonia, Croatia and Germany in the next month before returning to Can- ada.

By Charles McGregor Special to the News Advertiser Is it time for Canadians to think seriously about planning for emergencies in their lives and communities? Are most of us prepared to take care of ourselves in the event of such natural disasters as flooding or tornadoes or ice storms? There are many who say the answer to the first question is “Yes” and to the second the answer is “Not really. Not yet.” It’s quite easy, sitting under a tree or enjoy- ing the warmth of the sun during these long, summer days in Durham Region, to adopt the philosophy of “It can’t happen here.” But that’s not good enough, say the spokespersons for such groups and organizations as Durham Emergency Medical Services, The Canadian Red Cross, The Salvation Army and St. John’s Ambulance. They remind us of such unexpected situa- tions as those created by Hurricane Hazel in To ronto in 1954, where 81 died and, in today’s currency, damage totalled a billion dollars. More recently and closer to home, while no lives were lost, 14 billion litres of water pelted down on Peterborough in under five hours two years ago, flooding thousands of homes with water and sewage, making them inhabit- able, their occupants homeless, creating chaos in the business community, causing damage in the millions of dollars. And who can forget the ice storm of 1998, which directly affected more people than any other previous weather event in Canadian his- tory? Or the widespread power outage up the eastern seaboard of North America in 2003 af- fecting communities with a complete blackout from New York City to Ottawa? To the professionals, there’s an urgency to the question of the lack of preparedness that they and all levels of government are doing their best to address. None of these events, they point out, were predictable. And most of the people most directly affected were unpre- pared. In May, in an attempt to get the message out, The Salvation Army and St. John Ambu- lance launched a national Emergency Pre- paredness Kit Campaign with major retailers across Canada. Jim Ferguson, territorial emer- gency disaster services director of the SA, said that, “The rationale we’re using is one that’s pretty much accepted in the emergency ser- vices area. If people can survive for the first 72 hours, until outside help arrives, they’re likely to be able to survive at a much higher rate than those who are unprepared. That’s been proven time and time again.” Dan Salter, Emergency Management Co- ordinator at Durham EMS, heartily agrees. “When we look at the first 72 hours, if our resi- dents can be prepared to be self-sufficient for that time in an emergency, then they are not becoming part of the bigger emergency. If they are self-sufficient, that allows the emergency personnel to go about taking care of the situ- ation at hand and not having to look at taking care of the people.” He cited Hurricane Katrina as a classic ex- ample, where the effects of the natural disaster were so overwhelming that the emergency workers couldn’t deal with those who were in distress. Salter said that he’s noticed, “People are showing more and more interest in this when we do public education events in the Region. They’re coming up to say ‘we are prepared’ and ‘we have these items in our homes in case they’re needed for an emergency and in case we have to evacuate our home.’ And that’s very encouraging.” With respect to the Salvation Army and St. John Ambulance initiative, Rob Fraser, SJA Director of business development, said that, “Canadian shoppers will have ready access to important supplies that could help save a life in case of an emergency. Working together with national retailers will now make it easier for families to get prepared for an emergency.” Ta nya Elliott, director of communications at the Ontario Red Cross, which have an emer- gency preparedness kit available online, said that, “As disasters seem to be on the rise, peo- ple in Canada seem to becoming more aware of the potential for them to occur. We’re seeing it more and more, from floods in Peterborough to fires in British Columbia. We just want all people to be ready for an emergency and having a kit like this in their home, as well as ensuring that all family members know where that kit is located, are important steps.” It makes sense to prepare for the unexpect- ed and officials recommend families make checklists to ensure that everything and every- one is looked after, including the family pets. In addition to the pre-packaged prepared- ness kits, there should be at least a three-day supply of food and water and ready-to-eat foods that don’t need refrigeration. Also keep in mind that if the utilities are out and there is no alternate -- and safe -- cooking source, foods should be selected that won’t require cooking. Do not use a barbecue indoors. Particular thought should be given to care of those who can’t fend for themselves -- ba- bies and young children, family members or seniors who require medication, special food or assistance. And don’t forget about the pets. Use your own judgment on what you think your family members would like to have around them for the few days they may be cut off from the outside world and help. Keep in mind that a loud whistle can be used to let people know you’re there and are ready to be rescued. There are a number of useful publications which can help in making these decisions. Remember to store the supplies in sturdy, easy-to-carry containers such as back- packs, sport bags or covered trash contain- ers. Keep them sealed tightly and keep them handy. The Canadian Automobile Association also recommends keeping emergency items in your vehicle. Finally, the emergency specialists caution, “Don’t Panic.” People have survived three days without water and three weeks without food. Yo ur home can take three hours or more to cool off completely in the winter. And remem- ber -- help is on the way.

Pickering mosquitoes f inalists in EOBA playoffs Red Sox suffer two close losses to eventual champion Whitby PICKERING — The Pickering Red Sox minor mosquito baseball team knocked off the top-seeded Ajax Spartans twice on the weekend to advance to the Eastern Ontario Base- ball Association (EOBA) league play- off finals. Pickering’s only two losses in the double-knockout tournament were at the hands of the eventual champs from Whitby. The victories over Ajax were by convincing 7-2 and 18-3 scores, while the Whitby games were close, 10-7 and 10-4. Pickering held leads mid- way through both losses but could not hold on for the win. The results of the weekend tour- nament were a huge leap forward for this much-improved Pickering squad. This was the first time all season they had advanced to the playoff portion of any tournament, and the boys were proud to collect the finalist medals. The Sox may get another shot at Whitby at the upcoming Ontario Baseball Association (OBA) tourna- ment coming up at the end of the month. Ironically, the OBA tourna- ment will be hosted in Whitby. The six-team EOBA event, which was hosted by Pickering, also includ- ed teams from Ajax and Peterbor- ough, as well as second teams from Pickering and Whitby. The minor mosquito age group is for players born in 1996. Te am members are Adrian Brown, Delante Brown, Brady Carducci, Cristian Carlevaris, Jason Fotes, Scott Haynes, Kyle McBratney, Raishaun Provo, Mitchell Roberts, Corey Ross, Ja cob Stork and Brian Wilson. Peter Ross coaches the team, as- sisted by Ian Roberts, Donovan Brown and Grant Wilson. photo submitted The Pickering Red Sox minor mosquito rep baseball team put up a good fight at the recent Eastern Ontario Baseball Associa- tion playoff tournament, beating the Ajax Spartans twice. durhamregion.comP PAGE 38 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 25, 2006 SUPERSTORE! 905420-4800 PICKERINGO F 970 BROCK ROAD, PICKERING (South of the 401)www.suzukipickering.com FREELIFETIMELube/Oil/Filter with any new car purchase!
