Provincial tests scores hover close to last year Catholic board up in most areas; public board experiences some slight decreases By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The percentage of Durham students meeting the provincial test standard is near or higher than the Ontario average for Grade 3 and 6, but below for Grade 9. According to the Education Quality and Accountability Office’s (EQAO) 2006/2007 school board by board results, Durham made some gains in Grade 9 math, but still has fewer students meeting the standard than the provin- cial average. The expectation is a level three or four on EQAO tests – equivalent to a ‘B’ or higher. “The Grade 9 math results, we seem to have leveled off there,” said Paul Pulla, the Durham Cath- olic District School Board’s direc- tor of education. Mr. Pulla said the board hadn’t closely looked at the results yet and will analyze them in greater depth to determine how they can be improved. At the Catholic board, 24 per cent of all applied students met the standard, compared to 26 last year; and 62 per cent met it in academic, up from 59. The pro- vincial average is 35 for applied, Candidates agree on shelving Pickering plan By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Electors in Ajax- Pickering Riding who oppose an airport in Pickering could prob- ably vote for any of the candidates on Oct. 10. Four of the five hopefuls in the riding attending an all-candidates meeting in Claremont on Wednes- day came out against an airport. Andrew Carvalho of the Family Coalition Party of Ontario was the only candidate not present. About 100 people attended the event, held at the Claremont Community Centre and hosted by Land Over Landings and ratepayer groups in north Pickering. Candidates were asked what their position and their party’s was on a possible Pickering airport. “Personally, it should be put to rest once and for all,” said Cecile Willert, the Green Party candidate. ”We don’t want to hear anything more about it. We’ll petition the federal government to stop it.” Liberal Party candidate Joe Dick- son noted, “As an MPP, I pledge my opposition to an airport. I’ll do it in the form of a public docu- ment. I’ll do it in front of Pickering council and in front of the (provin- cial) legislature. Let’s put it to bed once and for all.” “We oppose this airport plan,” echoed New Democratic Party hopeful Bala Thavarajasoorier. “We definitely oppose this move.” Kevin Ashe, running for the Pro- gressive Conservative Party, is also opposed to an airport, saying it was PC Premier “Bill Davis’s gov- ernment that stopped the airport in the mid-70s. He stopped infra- structure support and road sup- port.” He added it was time to put a “stake through the heart” of the matter. 980 KINGSTON ROAD, PICKERING Between Liverpool Rd & Whites Rd. 905-839-6159 www.saturnofpickering.saturncanada.com Saturn Saab of Pickering The North American Car of the Year.

But, contrary to claims by a local politi- cian, the shift doesn’t mean the force is turn- ing its back on Durham, according to the Mountie in charge of the Toronto region. In a telephone interview Superintendent Robert Davis confirmed the transfer of 19 drug officers from Bowmanville to duties at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, justifying the move as an intelligence-based shift of resources to address drug smug- gling. “From time to time, like any organization, we look at where our risks are and how we’re going to mitigate those risks,” Supt. Davis said. “The Toronto airport has been identified as a risk area ...our objective is to attack the drug problem at its source.” In essence, the Mounties are assigning officers to Pearson to stem the flow of illegal drugs into Canada, “rather than chase it down once it’s in the country,” he said. Drug officers covering Durham Region will work out of the Mounties’ Newmarket detachment, Supt. Davis said. The move was criticized by Pickering- Scarborough East MP Dan McTeague, who distributed to the media letters he’d written to federal Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day. Mr. McTeague said the redistribution of officers doesn’t jibe with the Conservative government’s anti-crime stance. “If there is indeed a plan to downsize the RCMP drug squad at Bowmanville, how does that fit with the government’s agenda and how does reducing the RCMP contin- gent help local officers to combat illegal drugs and the criminal element that profit from them?” Mr. McTeague asked in a letter addressed to Mr. Day. A Public Safety spokesman said that while Mr. Day would respond to Mr. McTeague, the ministry had no immediate statement. “At this point it’s an internal RCMP opera- tional matter,” Philip McLinton said. But Supt. Davis said the move is a rede- ployment, not a reduction of officers. And he promised the Bowmanville office will continue to function as an active RCMP detachment. “Over the next year we will see an increase in drug resources in the Toronto area,” he said. “We are mindful of the growth in the (Dur- ham) area; that detachment remains impor- tant to us.” Supt. Davis made his comments about the need for increased vigilance at the Toronto airport a week after Durham police held a news conference to announce the arrest of 12 people and the seizure of $3 mil- lion worth of cocaine.

Mr. Ashe conceded, “It is an issue people are talking about.” He praised party leader John Tory for “taking a leadership po- sition,” adding there are “53,000 students out of the public edu- cation system. He wants to do it because it’s the right thing to do.” Premier Dalton McGuinty has spent “$20 billion on faith- based education in the last four years. It’s the Catholic system. Remember Mr. McGuinty spent $20 billion and now he thinks it’s a terrible thing,” Mr. Ashe stated. “I believe in one inclu- sive school system,” said Ms. Willert. “It’s better to have all children in one system.” “I support one school system. We have a huge opportunity to save money. The estimated sav- ing would be $500 million. We can put that money back into classrooms, where it’s needed the most,” she added. ✦ Faith from page 1 in Oshawa September 25th at 6:00 PM ONLY at the Holiday Inn Oshawa to see if you could be their next BIG STAR If you’ve ever dreamed of becoming a Model or an Actor, then you need to be at these FREE auditions! *These Models/Actors were all discovered by Model & Talent Search Canada Call 1-800-929-5581 to fi nd out more about this exciting opportunity!

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 21, 2007 durhamregion.com Goalie Sampson ready to step up for Panthers this season I t’s been a long wait for Pickering Pan- thers’ goaltender Connor Sampson. The 19-year-old puck stopper watched, learned and practised as a backup last season, but is now getting the chance to prove he belongs as a starter this year. So far, the Panthers are 1-2, with Sampson starting all three games. In its most recent effort, a 4-1 loss in the Panthers’ home opener to the Markham Waxers, Sampson was solid in turning aside 31 of 35 shots. Playing behind a completely revamped blue line with no returning defence- men from last season is a tall order for the second-year junior netminder. He’ll definitely be in the hot seat to bail out his teammates game in and game out. But, he feels he’s up for the challenge. “I didn’t get my chance to help the team much last year, so I’m trying to work my hardest this year, help the team achieve most of our goals, come first in our division and myself I’m working towards an NCAA scholarship at the end of the year. So, I want to do my best to help the team and help myself at the same time,” said Sampson, one half of the Panthers’ goaltending tandem that also includes Ben Calma, formerly of the Markham major midgets. Last season, Sampson served as the understudy to starter Brad Fogal, who came over to the Panthers in an early- season six-player deal between the New- market Hurricanes and the Panthers. Fogal immediately assumed the No. 1 role and was definitely the Panthers go-to goalie, leading the team to two Game 7 victories in last year’s playoffs against the Toronto Junior Canadians and the Vaughan Vipers before flaming out in the league quarter-finals to the St. Michael’s Buzzers. But, Fogal’s moved on, accepting a scholarship to Adrian College in Michi- gan. Now, Sampson is relishing the chance to be front-and-centre in the Panthers’ net. “It’s been a little different. Last year, I only started in seven games, so I was only going probably once a month, so I’m already halfway there to how many games I played last year. It’s what I like, I get more into my groove this way, play- ing more often.” If there was a positive for the Whit- by resident to sitting and waiting for an opportunity to play, it was gaining knowledge and insight from Fogal, a diminutive netminder who was arguably the best goaltender the Panthers have brought on in many years. “I learned a lot from Fogal. He’s a veteran starter; he helped me out a lot with the mental points of the game. He always had a strong focus and he showed me how to be a good starter for this year.” An inexperienced blueline notwith- standing, Sampson is eager to see what the Panthers become as the season wears on. “Once we get used to one another we should really come together as a team,” notes Sampson. Sports editor Al Rivett’s col- umn runs every three weeks. E-mail arivett@durhamregion.com Al Rivett sports editor LETTER TO THE EDITOR Politicians must fix 905 funding gap Make candidates outline their plans T hat the 905 is underfunded is old news. To hear some politicians talk of late, it’s as though they just discov- ered the 3 million people who live in Durham, York, Peel and Halton regions aren’t getting a fair shake. What’s important, especially at election time, is what those politicians promise to do about this long-standing inequity and that they keep those pledges once elected. The numbers should make your blood boil: for child care, 905 residents get $346 per capita, other residents in Ontario receive $707; for children’s services, 905ers receive $287 per person, the rest of Ontario gets $693 per person; for hospital services, 905ers get $718 per capita, other areas in Ontario receive $939, and so on. But, those are just the highlights. Consider the lack of highway construction, especially in Durham Region. While York, Peel and Halton are well-served by a multitude of highways heading into and out of the Big Smoke, Durham has just the 401 and several two-lane roads. And that’s it. Our transit options also lag well behind Toronto and also trail other 905 areas. So, other than screaming and stamping our feet in vain, what can we expect and what should we demand from provincial politicians? The best message to send politicians on election day is to vote for those who will deliver the most to the 905, and especially to Durham Region. That means holding candi- dates’ feet to the collective fire when they come searching for your vote. Ask them what they plan to do to rectify the 905 funding gap. Will they push their leader to provide an equitable funding formula that provides cash on a per capita basis? If they can’t or won’t do so, don’t vote for them. The leaders have promised to improve the situation. John Tory, who was in Oshawa last weekend and who has made other visits to the area in the past few years, has promised to speed up the 407 extension and to pump an- other $200-million per year into 905 health care facilities by 2011-12. Premier Dalton McGuinty and NDP leader Howard Hampton have also promised to increase health- care funding in fast-growing and underserviced areas. It’s up to voters to decide who they believe will actually come through for them. Action is required as soon as possible after the election to provide fairness to those who live in the 905. Durham transit needs to address routes To the editor: Re: Regional Transit Rolling in the Red. Well, of course Durham Regional Transit is under-funded; no one uses it. When was the last time you saw anyone on the Elm bus? They run ridiculous routes that only serve those taking the GO Train to work in Toronto. If you’ve got a job in Toronto you’re probably rich enough to drive a car to the train station. Why don’t they get some real bus routes on major streets, ones that people can actually use. I know that Durham is suburbia, but we can build throughways. DRT’s funding problems won’t go away until they serve the people who use it, and not some hypothetical idea that the middle class will use it. Terry Price Ajax John Tory speaks at Lakeridge Health Oshawa By Charles McGregor DURHAM — Not only has John Tory promised to im- prove access to health care in Durham if he’s elected premier next month, he’s also pledged his govern- ment would “do everything we can” to help the auto industry in Oshawa and to provide direct assistance for any new facilities that might be required. With regard to the loom- ing loss of 1,200 jobs at GM of Canada, the Progressive Conservative leader said, “It’s such a vital industry that represents both direct and indirect jobs in so many numbers in this region and elsewhere in the province that if it’s going to be of as- sistance for the government of Ontario to (support) ei- ther new kinds of produc- tion or new facilities I’m prepared to be there to do that. “I’m prepared to... travel wherever I have to travel, go wherever I have to go and meet with whomever I have to meet with to make sure people understand Ontario is open for business for in- vestment in the automobile industry. We’ve got to look at things the government of Ontario should stop doing that I believe are contribut- ing to jobs being chased out of this province. The gov- ernment doesn’t control the level of the dollar. But we do control our levels of taxa- tion, the doctor shortage, a reliable supply of electric- ity, the monstrous kinds of regulations that obstruct business in many ways. We’re going to operate the government in a way that says to business we’re going to regulate it to protect the public interest but in a way that reflects a spirit of part- nership.” The occasion was a cam- paign whistle-stop leading up to the Oct. 10 provin- cial election, featuring Lak- eridge Health Oshawa as its backdrop, where Mr. Tory announced his party’s plat- form including a commit- ment to invest $8.5 billion over four years to maintain and improve the provincial health-care system. Mr. Tory was joined at the announce- ment by Durham Region PC candidates Kevin Ashe, Ajax-Pickering, Christine Elliott, Whitby-Oshawa, and Jerry Ouellette, Oshawa. The Progressive Conser- vatives would also increase “growth funding for under- serviced areas of Ontario, such as the 905,” by an amount growing to $200 million in new annual fund- ing by the 2011-2012 fiscal year. “People in Ontario should be able to count on local health care services -- ser- vices they’ve paid for with their taxes,” Mr. Tory said. Noting that Lakeridge was recently ordered to slash funding to youth mental health programs in order to qualify for $8 million in pro- vincial funds that it desper- ately needs, Mr. Tory said, “This is unacceptable.” “Since McGuinty took office,” he said, “Oshawa and Whitby have been under-serviced areas. Now Durham Region is short 41 family doctors, leav- ing thousands of patients without the ongoing sup- port they need. Families are right to be concerned about the ability of local hospitals to provide access to and to deliver appropriate care to residents. The current gen- eration of people in the 905 region are worried that their kids just won’t have a public health care system they can count on.” Mr. Tory said the num- ber of residents over the age of 65 in the 905 area is also increasing at twice the provincial rate, and “in demographic terms, this represents ‘a perfect storm,’ which our health care planning has to take into account.” He promised to introduce a new fund- ing model for Local Health Integration Networks, be- cause “People have the right to access quality health care service as close to home as possible.” Premier Dalton Mc- Guinty, in a prior an- nouncement, promised to promote equal access to services across Ontario, en- sure funding is responsive to health needs of the pa- tients treated, promote in- tegration by recognizing op- portunities to co-ordinate services across geography, providers and patient types, promote an equitable share of funding within available resources and promote fair- ness by accounting for dif- ferences in health and need for service.

On Sept. 11, RVHS board of directors chairman Tom Atkins announced Rik Gan- derton will lead the team. Mr. Ganderton has been with the RVHS as interim president and CEO since January 2007. “Our search process was thorough and allowed us to consider many talented can- didates,” Mr. Atkins said in a press release. “Rik’s senior management and leadership skills, and progress in advancing Rouge Val- ley Health System since assuming the role as interim president and CEO, will serve the hospital very well.” Mr. Ganderton is a chartered accountant by training, and has lent his expertise to The Hospital for Sick Children, Women’s College Hospital and the Ontario Cancer Treatment and Research Organization (the predecessor to Cancer Care Ontario), as the lead healthcare consultant with Pricewa- terhouseCoopers (PWC) and Coopers and Lybrand. Before coming to RVHS, he was a national managing partner of healthcare with IBM. “I’ve had the opportunity to work with the organization (RVHS) for about seven or eight months so I’ve got to see what it’s like and we’ve got a great team here and I think there’s a real opportunity to help this organization move forward - strengthen the organization financially and operationally - and really help it move forward and serve the communities it’s serving,” he said. He said the team is great on the physi- cian, staff and management side. He said projects include working with the Central East Local Health Integration Network to en- sure they’ve got the highest-quality services available to residents. “The redevelopment of the Ajax-Pickering site is getting closer to reality as we speak so we’re delighted about that,” he said. “Cer- tainly that will be coming to fruition over the next 30 months, which will be wonderful.” At Rouge Valley Centenary in Scarbor- ough, the RVHS is building a new birthing and newborn centre, and a mental health housing project nearby. Mr. Ganderton said Ajax and Pickering are great communities and he’s looking forward to working with them.

Volunteers needed at Community Development Council Beverages not yet pasteurized should be boiled for at least one minute and cooled quickly By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A sweet fall treat may have something sinister lurk- ing within it, says Durham’s health department. According Toni Moran, a Re- gional manager of environmental health, unpasteurized fruit juices and ciders may contain harmful bacteria like salmonella and E. coli. Ms. Moran said most of the con- cerns revolve around unpasteur- ized cider. “We had a couple of incidents in Durham Region,” she said. “A couple of years ago we had a small out break of E. coli related to peo- ple drinking unpasteurized apple cider.” A couple of people had to be hospitalized for E. coli after drink- ing unpasteurized apple cider. “Because we had this incident a few years ago some (produc- ers) switched to only pasteurized and the ones that don’t pasteur- ize probably label them better so consumers can be informed when making that choice,” Ms. Moran said. She said if the product label does not specify that the contents are pasteurized, consumers should assume the contents are unpas- teurized. It is recommended un- pasteurized beverages be boiled for at least a minute and cooled quickly so that it doesn’t sit at room temperature. The unused portion should be refrigerated only until the best before date or frozen if being kept long term. There’s a grassroots following of people who believe pasteuriz- ing cider results in the loss of vital nutrients and vitamins, but Ms. Moran said the loss is minimal. “The risk of contracting a disease verses what small benefit might be accrued from drinking the unpas- teurized product, the risk out ways the benefits of the product,” she said. The risk of becoming seriously ill from drinking unpasteurized juice or cider is low for healthy adults, but greater for vulnerable individu- als. Symptoms of a food-borne ill- ness like E. coli or salmonella infec- tion can include stomach cramps, vomiting, fever and diarrhea, and can occur from one-to-10 days after consuming the contaminated food or beverages. Individuals who experience any of these symptoms should seek medical attention im- mediately.

The Durham District School Board went up to 32 from 29 in applied, and to 65 from 61 in academic. As for Grade 3 and 6, the Catholic board made gains in each category. In Grade 3 read- ing, 69 per cent met the stan- dard compared to 65 last year; writing results were 70, up from 68; and math was 74 from 68. In Grade 6, reading went up to 71 from 67; writing to 67 from 66; and math to 66 from 64. Provincial Grade 3 results were 62 for reading, 64 for writ- ing, and 69 for math, while Grade 6 were 64 for reading, 61 for writing, and 59 for math. “We’re obviously pleased with the overall board results,” said Mr. Pulla. He said the board had “an absolute focus of improved stu- dent learning and instructional leadership” and has seen steady improvement. In Grade 3, there was a gap between the Catholic board’s results and the province’s. “Overall, I think the results are heading where we’d thought they’d go,” he said. A good surprise came to Ajax’s Alexander Graham Bell Public School. Its Grade 3 results went from 50 per cent to 64 this year in reading; 50 to 69 in writing; and 45 to 55 in math. Grade 6 went from 64 to 74 in reading; 58 to 66 in writing; and 58 to 66 in math. “Our kids in the Grade 3 level scored better than we thought they would,” said principal Rich Maertens. The school used last year’s results to see where they could improve. Although in Grade 3 math the school made a big jump from last year, it still needs work to get closer to the board’s av- erage, said Mr. Maertens. In speaking with teachers, stu- dents are having trouble tak- ing math problem solving steps right through to the end and the school has plans to help students reach that goal. At the Durham District School Board, its Grade 3 read- ing results were 63 per cent - the same as the year before; 63 for writing, up from 61; and 69 for math compared to 66 previ- ously. In Grade 6, results were 65 for reading, versus 64 from 2005/2006; 59 for writing, the same as last year; and 57 from 58 for math. “Durham District School Board students continue to achieve solid and consistent results on the provincial as- sessment,” said Luigia Ayotte, superintendent of education/ programs, in a press release. She was unavailable for com- ment by press time Thursday. She said the board is par- ticularly pleased by staff efforts to increase the number of stu- dents choosing to write rather than defer the assessment.

WILFRID 67 59 59 62 62 53 PROVINCIAL AVERAGE 62 64 69 64 61 59 Route ‘achieves’ plan to preserve Greenbelt AJAX — Having a link between highways 401 and 407 in Whitby helps preserve the Greenbelt in the eastern portion of the Town, says Ajax’s senior transportation planner. The technically recommended route is east of Halls Road in Whitby, similar in location to a route identified in the early 1990s. Angela Gibson told councillors on Monday the interchange at Hwy. 401 would be “600 metres east of Durham Road 23 (Lake Ridge Road).” The high-speed link will con- nect the 401 to the 407 when it’s extended easterly from Brock Road in Pickering. The link route is part of an environmental assessment being completed on extending the 407. The provincial Greenbelt in Ajax is between Audley Road and Lake Ridge Road from Lake On- tario north to the border with Pickering. In her written report, Ms. Gib- son said, “The technically rec- ommended route achieves the Town’s objectives of preserving the integrity of the Greenbelt while supporting the economic viability of agricultural and the employment lands west of Aud- ley Road.” In the past, Whitby officials have opposed having the link in the western portion of the Town, preferring instead that Lake Ridge Road be used. When questioned Monday, Ms. Gibson didn’t know the positions taken by Whitby or Durham Re- gion on the new technically rec- ommended route. “At this time, I’ve not heard any direct com- ments from Whitby or Durham Region.” When the link is built, there would be interchanges along the route at Hwy. 2, Rossland Road, Taunton Road, Hwy. 7 and the 407.

AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photos HPV immunization clinics launched DURHAM — For eligible female students in Grade 8, the Durham Region Health Department is offering a free Human Papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine as a part of a Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) initiative. HPV is a common virus and more than 100 types exist. It’s easily transmitted from person to person through skin- to-skin contact. The virus may also lead to precancerous lesions, vaginal cancer, genital warts, and cervical cancer. Studies show the latter affects approximately 1,350 Canadian women and causes around 400 deaths each year. Studies show 70 per cent of these cases are from HPV types 16 and 28, and more than 90 per cent of genital warts are also caused by HPV types 6 and 11. The first two vaccines are given two months apart and the third is given six months after the initial dose. If the vaccine is given before a woman becomes sexually active, it is espe- cially effective in providing long-time protection and signifi- cantly lowering the risk of cervical cancer and genital warts. The MOHLTC and the Health Department anticipates 85 per cent of eligible students in Durham Region will be vac- cinated during the campaign. To learn more about HPV, school clinics or the vaccine, call the Durham Health Connection Line at 905-666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729. More information on the vaccine is also available online at www.region.durham.on.ca. New funding will support attendance counsellors, psychologists, and social workers By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — More provincial funding to help students at risk means Durham school boards can sustain or slightly in- crease staffing in some areas. Education Minister Kathleen Wynne re- cently announced $10.5 million annually to help school boards fund psychologists, social workers, child and youth workers, attendance counsellors, and other staff. The announcement means hundreds of thousands of dollars more for Durham’s public and Catholic school boards. “For us, it will help us sustain staffing in our board,” said Paul Pulla, the Durham Catholic District School Board’s director of education. Although he didn’t have much infor- mation available on the announcement, Mr. Pulla said if the money is distributed based on enrolment, the Catholic board should get a few hundred thousand dol- lars. The area of services hasn’t experienced funding cuts in the past, but sometimes money like this allows boards to sustain staff and programs they’ve struggled with, said Mr. Pulla. “I don’t see that there’s money there to go and expand on staffing,” Mr. Pulla said. Instead it will allow levels to be sus- tained. At the Catholic board, attendance coun- sellors double as social workers. Their job is to work with students and families to address issues and attendance. They can also make referrals to the courts if students are not coming to school and are under age. They have the latitude to lay truancy charges as well. “Attendance counsellors have been around forever,” said Mr. Pulla. “But the funding piece around that, it’s been a struggle to sustain those positions.” Mr. Pulla said there is a small portion of the population that has trouble with attendance and punctuality, the amount of which varies from school to school and time of the year. The board is always looking for more ways to get them to attend, he added. The Durham public board could end up funding four new staff members annually, and their associated costs, with the new funds. “Our share of the $10.5 million is $307,000,” said Ed Hodgins, superinten- dent of business for the Durham District School Board. “We’ll be looking at where we have the most needs and where we want to deploy that.” Mr. Hodgins said it’s welcome funding to support the students in schools. “I think this is a good news item for kids,” said Superintendent Martyn Beck- ett. The area isn’t one the board has had to make reductions to in the past, and this year it was actually able to add another social worker, thanks to the learning to 18 initiative, said Mr. Beckett. He added, this initiative seeks to sup- port good attendance and keep kids in schools, said Mr. Beckett. Over the next little while, they’ll look at how to most effectively use the money.

Provincial government wants to cap truck speeds at 105 km/h By Stefanie Swinson sswinson@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Putting the pedal to the metal may get you from point A to point B in a hurry, but when it comes to transport trucks that extra speed could well be deadly. The OPP reported On- tario roadways experienced an average of four truck roll- overs a week this summer. “Most accidents are caused by excessive speeds,” said Chief Superintendent Bill Grodzinsky, command- er of the OPP Highway Safe- ty Division. Seventeen per cent of all fatal crashes on the 401 involve big rigs. The Province said it hopes to reduce these accidents by putting limiters on trucks that would prevent them from going over 105 km/h. Transportation Minister Donna Cansfield confirmed the proposal at Queen’s Park on July 3. However, the issue won’t come up again until after the Oct. 10 pro- vincial election. A speed limiter is a built- in microchip that presets a truck engine’s top speed. All trucks in the last decade come equipped with this technology. “At 105 kilometres per hour (5 kilometres above most maximum highway speed limits), trucks would still be able to pass slower moving vehicles,” said Chief Supt. Grodzinsky. Jim Bargent, Ontario Truck Training School In- structor, applauded the gov- ernment’s efforts but thinks that may not solve all the problems. “I think focusing on defensive driving would be more benefi- cial,” said Mr. Bar- gent. While out on the road he sees the drivers in a rush who get into trouble. “At Ontario Truck Train- ing we teach our students defensive driving saves fuel, saves wear and tear and al- lows you to relax and feel comfortable and refreshed while getting to your desti- nation on time,” explained Mr. Bargent. He said it’s not uncommon for him to see poor driving habits on Hwy. 401. “This is what needs to stop,” said Mr. Bar- gent while driving his rig. He is talking about a truck he sees travelling in the fast lane and tailgating a com- pact car. “A speed cap won’t stop him from being impatient,” Mr. Bargent says of the other truck driver. “He needs to relax and drive defensively, not aggressively.” With 1.3 million commer- cial vehicles on Ontario’s roadways each day, Chief Supt. Grodzinsky said the OPP gets many reports of large trucks following too closely while driving in the wrong lane. “What they do is try and get up real close to in- timidate the car in front to move,” explained Chief Supt. Grodzinsky. “This is something we hope to stop with a speed cap.” Sgt. Cam Wooley of the OPP said Hwy. 401 has seen more truck crashes this Sep- tember than last Septem- ber. “When cars and trucks collide, it’s usually the car driver’s fault,” explained Sgt. Wooley.

For more on this story The Refuge finds new home in church By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Being evict- ed provided an opportunity for The Refuge to grow, ac- cording to Clarence Kees- man. But, money and per- mits are needed to bring its new home up to the con- dition needed to service the Region’s homeless and street youth. Each day The Refuge Outreach Centre services between 30 and 40 youth, providing them with food, clothing and counselling. It was on Mary Street in Os- hawa, but Mr. Keesman, the centre’s executive director, said he knew the time was coming that it would have to move. Development was happening all around and Mr. Keesman said he wasn’t surprised when he received an eviction notice to be out at the end of August. “At first we didn’t know what to do, but then we looked at it as a fantastic op- portunity because we were busting at the seams,” he said Shortly after it received the eviction notice, Mr. Keesman connected with Father Jim Tilley of The Church of The Good Shep- herd and plans took off from there. He said it has proven to be a fantastic opportunity, and now The Refuge has relocated to the basement hall of the church on Court Street in Oshawa. “This place adds almost nothing to our operational costs,” he said. “The loca- tion is perfect. It is directly on a foot path and acces- sible to the kids.” Father Tilley said his con- gregation of about 50 peo- ple agreed to let The Ref- uge lease the basement hall without objection. “There was nothing nega- tive said about it,” Father Til- ley said. “Everyone seemed in agreement. “It think it’s just wonder- ful because we are reach- ing out to the community and we are doing a work of mercy for the young peo- ple,” he added. “Only good can come out of that.” But, money is needed to get the space in good work- ing order to meet The Ref- uge’s needs. Phase one of the reno- vation is to simply get the hall in safe working order while phase two involves more comprehensive plans to erect walls, renovate the kitchen and create new spaces. “We aren’t looking to do a whole lot of fancy things,” Mr. Keesman said. “We just want it to be decent and us- able for the volunteers and kids.” Mr. Keesman said they need to raise about $140,000 for the renovations. The Refuge is almost entirely funded from private sector donations. “That is the high-end estimate,” he said. “But as people donate materials that will come down.” Ideally, he said, a couple of people with the means to do so will rise to the chal- lenge and come forward with donations. “We will invest it wisely,” he said. “I think we have proven to the community we have the ability to do good things with a limited budget.” Money aside, the Refuge is facing barriers with re- gard to zoning. A request for a permit to do the work was sent to the City of Oshawa committee of adjustment and Mr. Keesman said he has been told it may require a full rezoning. Since The Refuge offers social and food services, he said it might need to be rezoned, a requirement he doesn’t quite understand. “Technically this is still a shared space,” Mr. Kees- man said. “There are lots of groups, like AA, that rent space from churches, but no rezoning is required.” The application goes to the committee on Sept. 26 and until then Mr. Keesman said they will just have to wait to do any work on the building. “What is most im- portant for us is to be here for the kids,” he said. “We can’t give up on them.” To learn more about any of Durham Region’s waste management programs, visit www.durhamregionwaste.ca Why bring your own reusable bag?

After years of partici- pating in the annual Run for the Cure breast cancer fundraiser, Ms. Budd sud- denly found herself facing the disease in the fall of 2005. She missed that year’s run, but vowed to be well enough to take part the fol- lowing year. By the fall of 2006, the Ajax resident was starting her final month of treat- ment, when her beloved dog Calli, a two-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, was also diagnosed with cancer. “We found out she had mammary tumours, I just couldn’t believe it,” Ms. Budd says. “The two of us ended up recovering together. She was on one end of the couch, I was on the other. We were there for each other.” In the end, both dog and owner were well enough to take part in last year’s Run for the Cure and Calli was in good company. Ms. Budd invited her friends from the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of On- tario and their dogs, to form a team -- which they called the “Berner Babes.” The dogs received a warm welcome at the Durham run, with donated treats and special pink bandanas. This year, Ms. Budd and Calli will be participating again, with a team called the “Berner Buddies.” “It’s such an awesome event, when you’re there and you see the sea of people in pink it’s a very emotional experience,” said Ms. Budd, who is happy to report both she and Calli are now cancer free. “The walk meant a lot to me before, but since Calli and I were both diagnosed, it means so much more.” Since the Durham run started in 2000, participa- tion and fundraising num- bers have both soared. Last year the event drew more than 5,000 participants and raised about $550,000. In addition to raising much needed funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, the Run for the Cure is a vital public aware- ness tool and a source of support for women coping with cancer. Durham’s Run for the Cure takes place Sunday, Sept. 30 at Lakeview Park in Oshawa. Registration starts at 8 a.m. at the Jubilee Pavil- ion and the run gets under- way at 10 a.m. Participants can run or walk 1 km or 5 km.

During the provincial elec- tion on Oct. 10, voters will only choose which candidate will rep- resent them, but will also be of- fered a referendum on how they want the provincial government to be elected. In 2005, the Ontario Legisla- ture began reviewing electoral systems. In March, 2006, a Citi- zens’ Assembly on Electoral Re- form, an independent body rep- resenting the electors in Ontario, was created. The group was asked to assess Ontario’s current electoral sys- tem and electoral systems world- wide, and recommend whether Ontario should retain its current system or adopt a different one. The citizens’ assembly proposed a ‘mixed-member proportional’ (MMP) election system instead of the current ‘first past the post’ (FPTP) election method. Ontario voters will decide be- tween these two options during the referendum. Elections On- tario is heading a major pub- lic education campaign to make sure voters are well informed on the differences between the sys- tems. The current FPTP system is used to elect a sole winner for each riding. Ontario is divided into 107 electoral districts. In each dis- trict, each person gets one vote to choose which candidate they feel should win a seat in the leg- islature. The political party that wins the most electoral districts forms the government. This sys- tem is used in the U.S. (except for Louisiana), Ethiopia, Malaysia, Singapore and for local govern- ment elections in England. “First past the post is about people. We think people should be paramount,” says Michael Uf- ford, chair of ‘No MMP’, a group that strives to keep the current system. MMP combines FPTP and a ‘proportional representation’ system. Voters will have two votes — one for a local member, and one for the political party of their choice. Like current elec- tions, the politician with the most votes in the riding will earn a seat at Queen’s Park. The second vote would let On- tarians support a particular political party. These votes would be used to determine what percentage of the seats each party should get based on voter support. “MMP gives you this other vote, the party vote. That vote lifts you out of your riding and makes you an Ontar- ian. That’s the vote that really counts,” says Steve Withers, campaign spokesman for ‘Vote for MMP’. Ontario would be divided into 90 electoral districts, and would have a provincial legislature with 129 seats. Riding election win- ners would fill 90 of these seats, while list members would fill 39 seats. Before an election, each party would publicly nominate can- didates as list members and ex- plain how they were chosen. List members would work in ridings where their party didn’t win the seat, they sit on gov- ernment committees or they can function as party leaders or cabi- net ministers. If a party gets 30 per cent of the popular vote, but riding can- didates don’t win that amount of seats, then the party’s list mem- bers will take a spot in the House. It will mean a political party’s overall share of seats will roughly equal its share of the total votes for parties in the province. The party with the largest number of seats in the legislature, includ- ing both local members and list members, will form the govern- ment. A party has to get at least three per cent of the party votes to ap- point a list member. The system is said to create a more diverse mix of parties in the House. The MMP voting system is used by England (for European Union representa- tives), Scotland, Wales, Germany, New Zealand, Italy and Mexico. “The barriers are lower but they’re not so low you get one issue parties. The richest source of voters are in the centre. If you look at Scotland, New Zealand and Germany where there are smaller parties, they’re scrap- ping over the centre,” says Mr. Withers. The group opposing MMP is raising concerns with the pro- posed new election system. One is that the number of local ridings in Ontario would go from 107 to 90 under the new system. Mr. Uf- ford says fewer ridings across the province will hurt voters. “It would be harder to get in touch with your MPP and it’d be harder for her to get in touch with you,” says Mr. Ufford. The Vote for MMP group de- nies that claim. Mr. Withers says that often under MMP, list mem- bers often set up constituency offices in areas where there party did not win the riding seat. Residents can take their con- cerns to either the local riding MPP or list members from any party that rely on party votes for their seats. “Although I only have one MPP, what it comes down to is every single party is happy to talk to me,” says Mr. Withers. No MMP says that having list members chosen by politi- cal parties takes political power away from voters and gives it to party leaders. Mr. Ufford says the system is designed to be fair to political parties, but is unfair for voters who don’t get to vote for each member of the House. “We don’t like the idea of the political parties choosing a third of the legislature,” says Mr. Uf- ford. Mr. Withers says that party leaders already influence the House by deciding which can- didates run in which ridings. He used the example of Liber- al leader Stephen Dion decid- ing not to run a Liberal candi- date against Green party leader Elizabeth May. Mr. Withers says MMP actually makes party lead- ers work harder to keep their members happy because displeased members can break off and form their own party as long as they get three per cent support. “No one has to put up with this crap,” says Mr. Withers. Groups for and against the proposed MMP election system are urging voters to educate themselves on the upcoming ref- erendum.

Steve Cardwell and Fred Ford of the Whitby Dunlops appeared before the Re- gion’s finance and administration commit- tee on Sept. 12 to ask the committee to help the hockey team become a bigger part of the Region. “What we are asking for is to be a bigger part of Durham Region than we currently are,” Mr. Ford said. The team would like to partner with the Region and be included in Durham’s adver- tising promotion. The men asked the Region to purchase season tickets, a Dunlops’ jersey to hang in Regional headquarters and an advertisement in the game-night programs. “The Dunnies are a sports tourism attrac- tion,” Mr. Ford said. “But we can’t do it all with gate receipts.” The total amount the men are looking for from the Region is $5,649. The Region’s finance and administra- tion committee referred the request to the economic development committee to see if there is money in the budget and if the request fits into their policies.

By William McGuirk Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — The face of Rawk is looking east. The COW scene (Courtice/ Os- hawa/ Whitby) is celebrating its own rising stars with an all-day free fes- tival christened The First Shwaltz on Sept. 22 at Memorial Park in Oshawa. This area has been receiving at- tention in the press of late as those who have been raised in the sub- rural area off the GTA are beginning to make noise on the national stage. KO-s, Protest The Hero and Cuff The Duke are outstanding in their fields. At Hillside, Forest City Lovers and the D’Ubervilles were acclaimed. Keith Hamilton (of Pitter Patter Nights) and his Postage Stamps recently played VFest as did Pete Carmichael and his Diableros last year. NO NO Zero and the Micronite Filters have been Disc-overed in the TO press. Thom D’Arcy’s Small Sins and Anagram are critic darlings. At the moment Canadian pop music is hitting above its weight. The Band sang take the weight off and put it on me... it’s a great metaphor for Canada’s willingness to lend a hand. It defines the Canucks. It is reflected in the bands that are now made up of many bands. Groups are coming together to form super- groups. The power of the individual not squared but cubed. If the goal is to succeed then reaching out to those around you will be your prized asset. One can count on many. And one has count- ed on many for this inaugural grass- roots event. The First Shwaltz is a completely volunteer-organized festival of art and music. The cost of this venture is being absorbed by many in the indie rawk community. They were asked for help and all said yes. And not only for what was asked but they offered up so much more. The Stables will open the day followed by The Postage Stamps. Also on the bill are Hello Beautiful, Nose Over Tail, Unwritten Letter, Scarlett Fever, the Spies, Champion Heartache and the Micronite Filters. Plus Jeff Leech, Adam Blair and the Hokum Runners. There will be sur- prise guests during the day. The evening will close with agit- rockers Anagram who will rise from their ballyhooed underground con- certs to the half-bowl of the band- shell which opens onto the Civic Square of City Hall and the Rob- ert McLaughlin Gallery. Neither of which has stepped up to help its local artists in this venture. Geordie Lishman, son of ‘Father Goose’ Bill Lishman, will be staging artworks throughout the day. Other artists have been invited in to dis- play. The First Shwaltz is the result of friends helping friends. Prepare to be amazed doesn’t even come close to the feelings surrounding the event. All of the bands are playing for free. Sponsors are contributing their talents and skills. The festiVal is from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. at the park (Simcoe and John streets).

Trailing 2-1 early in the third pe- riod, the Panthers (2-2-0-0) rallied for two goals to edge the Beehives 3-2 in OHA Ontario Provincial Ju- nior ‘A’ Hockey League action at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The Panthers are back in action tonight (Friday, Sept. 21) when they host the Toronto Junior Cana- dians at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7:30 p.m. Panthers’ head coach Mark Jos- lin says the team wanted to atone for the loss in its home opener last Sunday, and did so with a solid ef- fort against the Beehives. “It was very important for us to get that first home victory and we accomplished that,” says Joslin. A solid final frame was the dif- ference, says Joslin, as the team fought back from a one-goal deficit to put together its second win of the season. “We had a strong third period, which has definitely been a trend for us,” he says. “We got down by a goal and we certainly never quit. We battled back and persevered, which showed some team charac- ter. We never quit and we were able to score some key goals.” The Panthers also rode a strong performance by rookie winger Stan Smrke, who was strong all over the ice and scored his first-ever junior ‘A’ goal -- the game winner. “I thought he made the most of his opportunities,” says Joslin, who used Smrke with veteran forwards, centre Greg Riggs and winger Jamie MacQueen, on a unit that worked well. “We switched up the line and he made the most of it. He did a great job.” Although Smrke, a solid 6-foot, 3-inch, 180-pounder, goes hard to the puck, and doesn’t mind tak- ing a hit to make a play, Joslin is looking to the North York Rangers midget product to be more of a physical force as the season wears on. “I would like him to be a bit more physical,” he says. The Panthers also welcomed back second-year forward Brad Fleishman, who returned to the Pickering lineup after a long look by the Ontario Hockey League’s London Knights at its training camp. Although Fleishman didn’t figure on the scoresheet, he none- theless provided plenty of energy. “He’s a hard-working player who never stops skating and gets under people’s skin. He’s all about energy and the guys will feed off his en- ergy,” says Joslin, who used Fleish- man in the middle on a line with Andy Andreoff and Brendan Hann in Wednesday’s contest. The victory also represented a milestone for Panthers’ starting goalie Ben Calma, whose first ca- reer junior ‘A’ start of the season was a winning one, turning aside 30 of 32 shots. The Panthers are in Mississauga on Saturday where they will play in the annual Governor’s Showcase slate of games on the weekend. It’s a chance for NHL, OHL and U.S. college scouts to see all of the league’s talent under one roof. The Panthers play the East Confer- ence’s Kingston Voyageurs at 5:45 p.m. at Erin Mills arenas. On Sunday, the Panthers return to South Conference action, travel- ling to Toronto to play the Junior Canadians for a second time on the weekend. Game time is 7:30 p.m. at Chesswood Arena.

Panthers’ Postscript Notre Dame juniors ready for inaugural gridiron season Cougars kick off LOSSA football campaigns under the lights tonight By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — A little Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School sports history will be made at the school tonight, Friday, Sept. 21. For the first time, the Notre Dame Cougars’ junior football team will run out on the field, facing the vis- iting St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs at 6 p.m. The ju- nior game will be followed by the senior opener against the Ajax High Rams at 8 p.m. under the lights. After two weeks of practices, junior football head coach Terry Kelly says the excitement has been building toward the inaugural Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) league game. “It’s been a good two weeks of preparation. We have a lot of good athletes. As the season goes on, our goal is to be competitive. The boys are anxious to get going,” says Kelly. He reports once the word went out that junior football would be on the sporting agenda at the north Ajax school, getting players was no problem. In fact, some players had to be “red-shirted,” meaning they’ll practise to gain football experience, but won’t play this season. “The turnout was remarkable,” says Kelly, who’ll dress just under 50 players for games this season, with approximately 30 of those being in Grade 10. There are no goals for the coming season, explains Kelly, just incre- mental improvement is what the coaching staff is looking for. “We expect improvement, game by game and quarter by quarter,” he says. “What I look for is hard work and improvement -- that’s all I can ask.” The Cougars’ junior squad is a definite source of pride for Notre Dame senior coach Brian Hughes. After being chosen as the recipient of the Leo Cahill Award as the High ✦ See Junior, Page 29 SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com THIS WEEKEND The Ajax Attack hosts the Vaughan Vipers in junior ‘A’ hockey action at the Ajax Community Centre on Sunday at 3 p.m. School Coach of the Year by the Toronto Argonauts, Hughes used his cash award to equip the junior squad. “The money made all the difference in the world,” says Hughes. As for the senior Cougars, Hughes notes the team had an easy time of it in their tune-up pre-season contest against Fa- ther Goetz from Mississauga at the annual Weir’s Football Clas- sic. Notre Dame won 38-0 in the game played at Esther Shiner Stadium in North York recently. “They were a young football team and we should have beaten them,” says Hughes. The coach is hoping for a good start to the season, playing an Ajax High Rams squad that’s playing its first game at the se- nior level after a year away. “If we’re strong and healthy we have a good chance. That’s important to get off on the right foot on Friday night.” Hughes says the Cougars will rely heavily on their core of veteran players, including safety Paul DePass, slotback Aaron Karamath, running back Dave Delgado and defensive lineman Ryan O’Leary, all of whom have a couple of years of experience at the senior level. LOSSA senior football is split into three division of six teams apiece this season, with Notre Dame toiling in the Mazza Divi- sion with the Ajax Rams, East- dale Eagles, the cross-school rival J. Clarke Richardson Storm, the Sinclair Celtics and the Ux- bridge Tigers. reg. price $9650 BLOWOUT PRICE $5995 Premium 6 person spa Loaded with all the options! Do it right, Do it once!

AJAX — Calvin Singh, right, of the Ajax High School Rams’ senior boys’ volleyball team sets up Matt Handley during a game against Toronto’s Agincourt Collegiate at the Ajax High School Invitational Volleyball Tournament at the school last Friday. The senior Rams captured the consolation championship. They’re Demons on the soccer pitch PICKERING — It was mission accomplished for the Pickering Demons boys’ under-12 rep soc- cer team this season. Prior to the 2007 outdoor sea- son, the coaching staff had set clear objectives for the team: Capture the Central East Soccer League (CESL) Cup, and win its division. As a result of hard work and dedication, the Pickering Demons achieved both season goals. At the recent single-knockout CESL Cup tournament, the De- mons faced an upstart Clairlea team, leaving their best game until the final. Pickering domi- nated en route to a 4-0 shutout to win the CESL Cup. Jordan Varlow paced the De- mons with a two-goal effort; Mi- chael Mariano and Lucas Mckaye netted singles. The Demon’s first opponent was a tough Peterboro First team, which they played in the rain. Although both teams had scoring opportunities neither goalkeeper could be beaten, and the score- less game headed to overtime. In double overtime, Jonathan Ris- tovski set up Logan Fallis with the game winner in a 1-0 victory. Pickering met Wexford, which had beaten Peterboro Reserve 13-0 earlier that day, in Game 2. In another close game, the con- test ended in a scoreless draw at the end of regulation time. Within the first few minutes of extra time, Kieran Templer netted the game winner. The Demons faced a tough Whitby team in Game 3. Al- though Jonathan Ristovski gave Pickering an early 1-0 lead, they found themselves down 2-1 at half time, for the first time in the tournament. In the second half, Pickering stormed back. An early goal by Daniel Halabi tied the game at 2-2 and gave the Demons the momentum they needed. They pressured Whitby the entire second half, and finally, just min- utes prior to the end of the game, Varlow scored the game winner for a 3-2 Pickering victory. Although the CESL Cup victory was complete, the Demons’ focus shifted to the divisional title. A victory against Whitby would give the Pickering Demons the divi- sional crown. Pickering came out strong, and within minutes held a 2-0 lead. Pickering went on to win 4-1 and will advance into the Central Soccer League (CSL) for the 2008 outdoor soccer season. The Demons completed a strong season with 13 wins, 2 ties and 1 loss. Team members are Jamie Mor- row, Garrett Schneider, Jake Ples, Michael Mariano, Jamal Fingal, Dylan Ramuite, Liam Bills, Ki- eran Templer, Jordan Varlow, Daniel Halabi, Jonathan Henry, Mackenzie Vandam, Lucas Mck- aye, Colton Belley, Evan Ding, Jonathan Ristovski, Joey Di Dio, and Logan Fallis. Ed Whitehead coaches the Demons, assisted by Adam Whitehead and Sharon Buchanan. Tricia Whitehead is the manager. Submitted photo The Pickering Demons boys’ under-12 rep soccer team won both the CESL Cup and its divisional title on the pitch this season.

This time, however, the Pickering Softball Association reps settled for silver after dropping a close final to the host Brampton squad. In round-robin play, the Pickering novices posted a 2-1 re- cord with wins over Burlington and Whitby. The depth of pitching on the Pickering novices team was a major reason for the silver-medal finish. Pitchers Katrina Rohrich, Carrol Anne Walker, Tara Watson, Larissa Reffle and Tori Burtt all took to the mound and performed well throughout the tournament. The team definitely missed sev- eral regulars, Jennifer McNamee, Caitlyn Halbert and Kayleen Mertz, who were unavailable for the week- end event. Call-up players Emily Alexander and Abby Fulton, how- ever, filled in admirably. Halbert, the team captain, was injured for the tournament, but still cheered the team on from the bench. Third baseman Nicole Cadman performed well defensively for the novice selects. The selects had great success in the skills competition that was part of the Brampton tournament. Amanda Smart won the running competition, while Chelsea Cross took part in the hitting competition and Allie Provis competed in the throwing accuracy event.

Pickering novices strike silver at softball event Scoreboard SEPTEMBER 21, 2007 Hyundaiʼs Azera showcases the engineering and relentless pursuit of quality that have changed perceptions of the South Korean manufacturer. The Azera is larger, faster and more economical and boasts more features and interior space than many of its competitors. It has an astounding array of standard equipment at an attractive and competitive price. The Azera has assumed the role of providing an aspirational vehicle for Hyundai owners, as well as buyers of other brands, looking to move up in terms of luxury, ride and performance. Hyundai calls it a genuine con- tender for people considering such respected names as Accord, Camry, Avalon, Buick and Maxima. Built on a new and exclusive platform, the Azera is a large car, measuring 4,895 mm in length and 1,850 mm in width, and riding on a long 2,780 mm wheelbase. The back seat is especially commodious and trunk capacity is an enormous 469 L. By any standards in this class, that is big. The Azera is also one of the more stylish sedans on the market, especially from the rear three- quarter view. On the inside, restraint contributes to the upscale feel, alleviating clutter to provide an exceptional level of sophistica- tion. Fit, finish and the quality of materials used are on a par with vehicles that cost much more. As the flagship of the Hyundai fleet, the Azera is well equipped, yet costs thousands less than similarly equipped vehicles Standard equipment on the $34,995 base model includes four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and electronic brake force distribution, electronic stability control, electronic traction control, eight air bags (front, side curtain and side impact for both front and rear seats), electric windshield deicer, power sunroof, six-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system, automatic dual-zone temperature control, cruise, power windows and locks, remote keyless entry, 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin tires, heated and powered front seats (10-way driver, four-way passenger). The $38,195 Premium model adds a full-leather interior, power adjustable pedals, electric rear sunscreen, rain sensing wipers and an audio upgrade. A new and silky-smooth all- aluminum 3.8-litre V6 with four valves per cylinder, dual overhead camshafts and continuously variable valve timing provides ample motivation. Producing 263 horsepower, it is paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission that passes power to the front wheels. Hyundai has caught up to the leaders of the pack in an impressively short time, especially in terms of engine, suspension and overall build quality. The engine proved quiet, smooth and willing to rev without sounding strained. Inside, the Azera is impressively quiet and serene on the road. Hyundai has made great strides in shock absorber and spring rate tuning. The ride is well controlled and devoid of the willowy feel of previous models. Competition is the consumerʼs best friend and by keeping the rest of the industry on its toes, it is consumers who ultimately will benefit the most. ~ Joe Knycha Formula Media Group HYUNDAI’S FLAGSHIP REDEFINES LUXURY Stylish Azera assures aspiration durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 42 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 21, 2007 557 Kingston Rd., Pickering 905-420-9000 www.pickering.toyota.ca PICKERING ¥Limited time fi nance offers available from Toyota Financial Services OAC.
