The league’s president, Carolyn Nixon, explained the 18-hole golf course, Seaton Golf and Coun- try Club, is set to shrink to nine holes as a result of the recent Seaton land exchange between developers and the provincial government. “There’s been rampant ru- mours for the past three years,” she said. “Last year we thought would be our last year, but we survived a whole other year. “It was just a couple of weeks ago that we heard the word from our general manager that yes, Mattamy (Homes) is taking over in the fall.” The Seaton Ladies’ Invitational Tournament on Sept. 12 attracted 74 golfers and raised money for Victims’ reluctance hinders police By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — As she usually did, she hurried toward the path by the East Shore Community Centre on Liverpool Road, taking a short cut to the nearby GO Transit station at the beginning of another work day. It was a Monday morning like any other. Until the kid pulled a knife. His face was covered with a ban- dana but she could tell he was young, probably a teenager. He’d ridden by the woman as she made her way to the train station around 6:20 that morning, suddenly stop- ping short, dropping the bike and confronting her. “He was masked and he had a knife,” said the woman, who’s in her 40s and has lived in Pickering for more than 25 years. “He said, “Give me your money.’” Her mind a blank, she faced her assailant. “The only coherent thought in my mind was, ‘Oh my God’,” she said. “And then I screamed at him. I screamed really loud.” Maybe it was his intended vic- tim’s reaction; maybe it was the garbage truck that came lumber- ing up to the community centre just then. Whatever the reason the would-be robber cut and ran, pedalling away on his bike. The woman hailed the garbage truck driver, who called police. The incident has left the long- time resident shaken, especially since she never thought she’d be a victim of such a crime in her own UP, UP AND AWAY Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo DURHAM — Aaron Holder launches himself with his kite during a family outing at Rotary Park in Ajax.

NEWS ADVERTISER the Willow Foundation, a support project for women with breast cancer. One of the founding members, Nan Fal- lon, explained although the golf course opened in 1955, no ladies’ league existed at the club until she, along with about a dozen women, founded it in 1963. “It’s been a wonderful group. “We’ve had a tremendous amount of fun over the years, many, many friendships were formed and we had people from all over,” she said, adding women from To- ronto and Scarborough would often par- ticipate. The eldest member of the ladies’ league, Ruth Doble, is 93 and participated in the tournament with an 89-year-old grand- mother. “I bet it’s an all-time record of combined ages in a golf tournament,” Ms. Nixon said. She explained a number of members have made alternate arrangements to golf else- where once the course changes to nine holes, but said some of them would like to continue playing on the nine. “If they want to play their nine, we’ll certainly support them on just a nine-hole course,” she said. A member from the golf club’s incep- tion, Ms. Fallon has many memories of her years on the links. “I look at it with a certain amount of sad- ness now, you know, thinking that we had such terrific times there and we might not get them again,” she said.

Board defeats request to alter purpose of travel plans By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — An Oshawa trustee wants school board representatives to make a statement while visiting China on busi- ness this October. Following the Durham Catholic District School Board’s approval to send three representatives to China to look at pos- sible partnerships involving international studies, Oshawa Trustee Fred Jones tried to change the purpose of the trip. “If we’re going to China, the message we should be bringing is we’re not interested (in partnerships) yet because you’re not ready yet for the world community,” said Trustee Jones in an interview. After citing a published report on a woman in China forced to have an abor- tion at nine-months pregnant, he asked during a Sept. 24 meeting for the board’s delegates travelling there to inform ap- propriate personnel that they have no in- terest in making any agreements with the country until its record on human rights substantially improves. He also wanted them to report back on China’s response at the first board meet- ing following their return. Going on the trip from Oct. 12 to 21 are Brock/Scugog/Uxbridge Trustee Kathy LeFort and Superintendent Carolyn Anco. They’ll accompany Rob Fitzsimmons, principal of continuing and alternative education. The board is going in response to an invitation to Greater Toronto Area schools from the People’s Republic of China’s con- sul for educational affairs. The Catho- lic board has to pay for its travel to the country, but accommodation, food and domestic travel will be underwritten by The China National Office for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language. Trustee Jones initially opposed the trip altogether, listing public executions, child labour and human rights violations as the reasons. “It’s deplorable” for the Catholic board to consider entering into a partnership with China. Trustee Jones’s motion was defeated. Pickering Trustee Paul Bannister ab- stained from voting, Trustee Jones and Pickering Trustee Jim McCafferty sup- ported it, while Ajax Trustee Janice Old- man, Whitby Trustee Mary Ann Martin - board chairwoman, and Oshawa Trustee Joe Corey were against.

Proceeds raised through The Colour Me Beautiful Fashion Show will be directed to the R.S. McLaughlin Durham Regional Can- cer Centre in Marie’s memory. To-date that amount totals more than $60,000. As a special trib- ute, The Oshawa Hospital Foundation has selected a Chemotherapy Station in the new Cancer Centre that displays the words “In Memory of Marie A. Hib- bert”. This year’s Colour Me Beautiful Fashion Event will take place on Thursday, October 11th beginning at 6:00pm with a cocktail reception at the Tosca Banquet & Conference Centre in Oshawa. The evening includes a delicious dinner for guests to enjoy as well as experiencing the latest fashion trends of Audrey Jane’s, Churchills-Crossings, Dezire, JMichaels, Lei- sure Lady, and Mackie Harley Davidson Buell. Although the Can- cer Centre is now com- pleted and treating pa- tients, special fundraising events like the Colour Me Beautiful Fashion Show & Dinner are more im- portant than ever before,” said Jim Szeman, Chief Executive Offi cer for The Oshawa Hospital Foun- dation. “Our fundrais- ing objective has shifted from the building and equipping the Cancer Centre to now working to continue to raise funds to sustain this facility, the research, education and advanced programs and services that is now avail- able to cancer patients and their families across Durham Region and be- yond.” Thanks to the dedication and support of Marie Hibbert and our many Foundation Friends, “Bringing Cancer Care Closer to Home” is no lon- ger a dream, but a reality.

That’s why he and members of council recognized the French- man’s Bay Community Associa- tion (FBCA) and The Environ- mental Factor (TEF) at the lat- est council meeting. The FBCA adopted Douglas Park, located east of Pine Creek and at the north end of Frenchman’s Bay. TEF adopted Major Oaks Park, which is located east of West Duffins Creek in the Brock Ridge Neighbourhood. The City also provided new signs for the parks. The Adopt-A-Park program was reintroduced and revitalized by the City to encourage com- munity groups, schools, organi- zations and businesses to work with the City to enhance public parks. “The program is one of many ways in which community-mind- ed groups can make a positive contribution towards a sustain- able Pickering,” Mayor Ryan said in a press release. Mike and Betty Lau-Cadotte, TEF owners, said their business commitment is to educate and help keep the community and environment safe, clean and 100 per cent organic. FBCA president Dave Johnson said the group is proud of its 16 years of contributing to the City, and it continues to make resi- dents aware of Frenchman’s Bay and Pickering’s waterfront. “Our dedicated volunteers will move us towards the next 16 years by bringing forward initia- tives designed to educate about good environmental steward- ship in and around the bay,” Mr. Johnson said in a press release.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 28, 2007 durhamregion.com No getting by these students Debate at Dunbarton High School shows students care about politics and their future T he students at Dunbarton High School seem to know a heck of a lot more about politics than I did before I began to vote. The number of students who asked intelligent, well-informed questions at the all-candidates debate the school held on Wednesday was very impres- sive. Kudos to civics and politics teach- er James Blair for helping organize it, and for encouraging students to ask the questions on their minds and push for change where they see fit. At the debate were four candidates looking to snag the first provincial Pick- ering-Scarborough East seat: Liberal Wayne Arthurs; Progressive Conserva- tive Diana Hall; Green Party hopeful Anita Lalchan and NDP candidate An- drea Moffat. The first part of the debate allowed all the candidates to answer students’ questions, and in the second part, stu- dents could direct them at certain can- didates. At the beginning, students seemed hesitant to step up to the microphone and ask questions, but once one went up, the line quickly grew. The first question was simply “Why are you here? We can’t vote.” There were a lot of “ooohs” and “aaahs” com- ing from the gym full of students, but the question had merit. All candidates agreed there are a number of issues in this election that directly affect youth: tuition, school funding, transit and health care, for example. And, at the end of the day, parents listen to their children, something Mr. Blair pointed out, and I’m sure these students went home and told their par- ents all about what they learned. When Ms. Moffat talked about her terrible experiences with transit and how improving it is one of her top pri- orities, the gym filled with cheering and clapping. When tuition, school funding and health care were addressed, many of the students who questioned the candidates spoke from personal expe- riences. This showed that students are interested in this election, whether they can vote or not, and are definitely inter- ested in their future. One young woman asked how the Green Party plans to improve things such as transit while still protecting the environment. Another asked how the NDP plans to freeze tuition fees and eventually get it down to zero with- out raising taxes. These are all very thought-provoking questions, and ones that affect the future. Another student, and former News Advertiser co-op student Nadia Hus- sein, was able to sum up the discus- sion on something important to her: lowering tuition fees. She noted Mr. Arthurs didn’t want to change much, Ms. Moffat was best at engaging and relating to youth, Ms. Hall looked at her papers most of the time and Ms. Lalchan seemed nervous. If any one of the candidates thought they’d get off easily by speaking to a bunch of students, they were wrong. Kristen Calis’s column ap- pears every third Friday. E-mail kcalis@durhamregion.com. Kristen Calis staff writer LETTER TO THE EDITOR Volunteer to make your community a better place As sure as the leaves turn brown and fall from the trees, the temperature drops, the humidity lifts and the kids are settled in school, new volunteers will be needed as organizations ramp up this fall. After a summer of few or no meetings and a less stressful social schedule, all kinds of groups need a helping hand or two to provide badly needed assistance. Whether it be help with youth groups like the Boy Scouts or Girl Guides, Big Brothers and Sisters or sports teams, or time with seniors organizations, you can be sure your help would be welcome. Community Care Durham- Ajax/Pickering, for example, generally needs help to deliver meals, take shut-ins to medical appointments, or simply spend some time visit- ing. Volunteers offer support and help save organizations thou- sands of dollars they can otherwise use to support their clients. And the volunteers can learn a new skill, provide expertise or just offer support and reap the rewards that service to others always delivers. Recently, hundreds of Ajax and Pickering residents donned gloves and headed to our streams, creeks and Lake Ontario shoreline to collect tonnes of garbage. These kinds of activities make you feel good about yourself, proud of your community and, as a side benefit, provide opportunities to meet some of the wonderful, like-minded people also pitching in. Many, long-term friendships are formed in this way. And volunteering is all about completing that circle of giv- ing. We’ve all benefited at some point in our lives through the actions of those who gave their time and service so that we could participate in an activity or enjoy something that might otherwise not take place. Volunteers -- whether they help put on a parade or coach a team or pitch-in to clean up the neigh- bourhood -- make our world a better place. You can do your part by choosing to get involved this fall. And, we can think of no better place than at the United Way of Ajax-Pickering- Uxbridge, which funds roughly 30 groups in the community. Be sure to help it help others by donating to the fundraising campaign this fall. You don’t have to travel very far to find organizations that could use help, and whether you’re a teen or senior, your com- munity needs you. Just giving a little of your time can make a huge difference. Goose on the road to recovery To the editor: Re: ‘Lame Goose frustrates Pickering man’. I have some follow-up information which may be helpful to your readers, especially Mr. Tustin. Myself and a friend also spotted this same (I assume) goose one morning recently when we went to the Pickering Recreation Complex to play our morning round of squash. The goose was on the grassy area of the north parking lot, right beside where we usually park. I reported the injured goose at the front desk of the rec centre and asked them to contact wildlife services. They were very responsive and helpful and followed up immediately. We then heard a couple of days later that the goose had been picked up, examined, and the news was that they felt the goose had an excellent chance at recovery and was being treated. James O’Hara Pickering quiet community. “It never, ever crossed my mind,” she said. In the aftermath of the robbery she’s been fearful and mistrustful of the people around her. “I don’t know that I would ever walk that way again,” she said. They called it Project Kansas. In re- sponse to a veritable epidemic of street-level robberies, cops in Ajax and Pickering conducted a review of unsolved reports of robberies, usually by youths tar- geting youths, that had taken place in parks, walkways, mall parking lots, plazas and other areas kids gather and travel. As of Sept. 10, 63 people had been arrest- ed on more than 270 charges. The accused are between 14 and 20; the vast majority of the victims were of the same demographic -- with the exception of an 84-year-old woman who was the victim of a purse snatching. The numbers sound encouraging until one factors in a chilling fact: The cops are made aware of only a fraction of such inci- dents. “What we’re finding is that we’ve had over 100 reported street-level robberies,” said Detective Constable Craig MacInall, discussing incident reports for 2007. “That doesn’t go to the ones that aren’t being reported,” said Det.-Const. MacInall, a youth officer working out of Durham po- lice’s 19 Division in Ajax/Pickering. Indeed, convincing young people to re- port such crimes and co-operate with police is an impediment to addressing the issue in the first place, he said. For one thing, there’s the youth culture attitude that it’s wrong to co-operate with the cops -- to “snitch”, Det.-Const. MacInall said, But there’s another element, according to Detective Adam Kelly, also of 19 Divi- sion: They’re scared. Victimized once by being robbed, many kids are afraid they’ll be further targeted if they identify their as- sailants. It’s a reality rooted in the nature of the crime, he said. While kids are robbing oth- ers of modern-day trappings such as iPods, cellphones, jewelry and high-end hats and clothing, these robberies aren’t so much about collecting loot as amassing power and street cred. “I don’t necessarily believe it’s about the merchandise,” Det. Kelly said. “I think it’s about displaying power, distin- guishing their toughness to their friends.” For the victims, there’s a dilemma: do they tell or not? “Some do come forward,” Det.-Const. MacInall said. “The ones that don’t are terrified of the ramifications of what will happen if they do.” “A lot of cases are closed because we can’t proceed because of a lack of co-opera- tion from victims or witnesses,” Det. Kelly added. The robbery of the woman near the GO station is something of an anomaly in that a young person targeted an adult victim, Det. Kelly said. But, he added, it’s symptomatic of what happens when a criminal does crime and gets away with it: He gets bolder. “A 15-year-old doesn’t just wake up one morning and decide to become a street thug,” he said. Adds Det.-Const. MacInall: “We can’t stress enough that if you don’t step up to the plate and do the right thing, it will hap- pen to you again.” To that end, police are preparing to dis- tribute reference cards to young people and their parents, explaining just what robbery is, what to do if they’re victimized -- and the penalties for perpetrators of the crime. It’s the hope of police that parents will be aware of the extent of the problem and, should they notice their youngster with, say, a new cellphone, iPod or other piece of property, ask the right questions and get police involved if they suspect illegal activ- ity. “It’s not just a police problem,” Det. Kelly said. Above all, police want to convince young people to recognize when they’ve been vic- timized and get the authorities involved as soon as possible. “It is absolutely crucial they report it as soon as it happens and they are in a safe condition to do so,” Det. Kelly said. “The quicker we can respond to the area, the better the chance is of us locating the suspects.” Get into a New Jetta 503 Kingston Rd. Pickering 905-420-9700 Pickering Volkswagen Inc.

Dennis DesRosiers is calling the settlement be- tween GM and the United Auto Workers -- reached early Wednesday after a na- tionwide strike paralyzed production at GM plants on both sides of the border -- a “very dark day for the Canadian automotive sec- tor.” “With a stroke of a pen last night, GM and very shortly Ford and Chrysler will have created about a $25 per hour cost advan- tage to build vehicles in the U.S. instead of Canada,” Mr. DesRosiers said. The cost advantage is the result of a deal to off-load health care costs from the com- pany to a trust established by the union. In ex- change, the UAW has been given “job-security guarantees,” Ron Gettelfinger, the presi- dent of the union told re- porters after reaching the tentative deal that put his 73,000 members back to work. “This is code for ‘GM will no longer be able to invest as much in Canada and Mexico,’” Mr. DesRo- siers said. “If the UAW job numbers over the next four years will not change, then which workers will lose their jobs?” It is a rhetorical ques- tion to which Chris Buckley doesn’t want to hear the answer. The president of the Canadian Auto Work- ers local 222 says contract negotiations -- up for re- newal in September 2008 -- will be some of the most difficult in the union’s his- tory. “But we knew that even before the UAW signed their tentative agreement,” he said. “We’ve known these negotiations are going to be tough. It is a dif- ficult time for the auto indus- try and the high Canadian dollar is making it even harder.” The Canadian auto sector has long enjoyed a signifi- cant cost advantage over its U.S. counterparts, in large part due to a low Canadian dollar and savings from the public health care system. But with that advantage now gone, will the CAW be willing to also cut benefits and wages by $25 per hour to level the playing field? “No,” Mr. Buckley said immediately. “We are going to negotiate the best deal possible for our members.” But while he wouldn’t specify what, if anything, the CAW would be willing to concede in the next con- tract, he did acknowledge that future product place- ment will be the top con- cern for the union in the talks. The Oshawa car as- sembly plant -- which will soon be transformed into a single line flexible manu- facturing facility -- so far only has commitment for one product, the low-vol- ume Chevrolet Camaro, after 2008. “It’s tough,” Mr. Buckley said. “And it gets tougher each week.” Remember, all inserts, including those on glossy paper, can be recycled with the rest of your newspaper through your blue box Recycling program.

For Toronto Departures THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 28, 2007 PAGE 9 A/Pdurhamregion.com CAW prepares for job security struggle For more on this story PICKERING — The Family Coalition Party of Ontario is pro-life, pro-family and wants more tax exemptions for families. Mitchell Persaud, a pastor at New Horizon United Reform Church in Scarborough and ESL and Bible teacher to new-immigrant Chinese, is running against Liberal candi- date Wayne Arthurs, Progressive Con- servative candidate Diana Hall, NDP can- didate Andrea Moffat and Ontario Libertar- ian Party candidate Josh Insang in the Pickering-Scarbor- ough East riding. Mr. Persaud said the party supports a $14,000 limit before taxes per adult and a medical sav- ings account of $2,000 per adult and $1,000 per child per year. If the money isn’t used, it would go into a non- transferable RRSP account. “Trouble with money is it is one of the leading causes of divorce,” he said in an in- terview. “So we think these things would help in that way.” The party is opposed to abortion on both moral and economic grounds, “and of course, we believe marriage is between one man, one woman, and it’s the best place for children.” The party also supports an education grant per child by the government where parents could choose where they want to send their children. “We have a public system, but if people want to choose another school, because we’re all paying taxes, they should be also paid for by the government,” he said. He believes in stiffer punishment and bet- ter-armed police officers, and thinks medi- cal care should be more consumer-orientat- ed to provide faster services. The party also believes in the mixed member proportional system of government to let smaller voices be heard. rrs TM Hours: Mon-Fri: 10-9, Sat:10-6, Sun:11-5 Floor Model SaleFloor Model Sale 18 HARWOOD AVE.

The final report will be completed and forwarded to the CNSC later this fall, Laurie Swami said. Speaking to the Commu- nity Advisory Council on Tuesday, Ms. Swami, the di- rector of licensing, nuclear generation development, said the draft EA findings show “there’s no signifi- cant adverse environmen- tal effects predicted” if the ‘B’ side reactors are refur- bished. Whatever effects there are would be “local and not broad across the region or province” and would be within a 10-kilometre range of the facility. Any affects “we can miti- gate,” she added. A draft EA report has been posted on the compa- ny’s website and will remain there until it is updated in about two months. The Ontario energy min- ister in June of 2006 “asked us to being a feasibil- ity study on refurbishment,” Ms. Swami stated. Currently, the company is “trying to determine what’s involved in a refurbish- ment.” The ‘B’ side reactors came into service in 1983. “It’s just about time to consider refurbishment,” said Ms. Swami. “They will operate for another decade before they go into refur- bishment.” The refurbishment work could start around 2012 if OPG’s board of directors approves the work. If the re- actors are refurbished, they would operate until about 2060, when they would be shut down for good, Ms. Swami stated. A decision on whether the project proceeds will be made by the OPG board of directors next year, she noted. The CNSC would also have to give its approv- al for the work to be done. “All the insides of the re- actors will be removed and replaced,” she said, adding this includes steam genera- tors, pressure tubes and fuel channels. “The EA is one part of the process needed to make a business decision,” Ms. Swami stated. “It’s a long, long process we’re going through. Some- time in the middle of next year, we’ll have a board de- cision,” she said. The draft EA report can be seen at www.opg.com/ pickeringb. - A preferred Facility Site has been Identified - Durham and York Regions seek your input on the recommended Preferred site for a new Thermal Treatment Facility to manage the garbage that remains after recycling and composting. The Regions of Durham and York are participating in a joint study to find a better way to manage the residual waste (i.e. garbage) remaining after recycling and composting. Through the Joint Waste Management Group, the two municipalities are addressing the social, environmental and financial impacts of this issue by way of an “Individual” Environmental Assessment (EA) under the Provincial EA Act. The Site identification and evaluation process to identify a Preferred site for the proposed facility is now complete. The consultants’ (GENIVAR and Jacques Whitford) recommended preferred site has been identified and will be the issue of public and agency review and comment. The site is located south of Highway 401, west of Osbourne Road and north of a CN Rail corridor, in the Municipality of Clarington, as illustrated in the map below. It was arrived at following the evaluation methodology and criteria in the approved EA Terms of Reference which was developed with extensive public consultation and public input. Public Information Sessions will be held in Durham Region on October 3rd and 9th, 2007 starting at 2:00 p.m. to present, discuss and receive public input on the recommended Preferred site for the proposed Thermal Treatment facility. The evaluation process followed, and the rationale behind the preferred site identification will be presented. A complete set of supporting documentation can be found on the Study website at: www.durhamyorkwaste.ca.

Caribbean night in Ajax Parents and guardians to receive information on HPV DURHAM — Immunizations clinics for the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted disease, will be allowed in Durham Catholic elemen- tary schools. The Durham Catholic District School Board approved the use of its elemen- tary schools for conducting health de- partment clinics for the HPV provincial immunization program at its Sept. 24 meeting. The provincial program is for girls in Grade 8 and is intended to offer protec- tion from cervical cancer, according to a staff report. The vaccine is free if administered at the school level, but is reported to cost parents about $400 if provided by a family physician. Concerns with the moral and ethi- cal dilemma of providing a vaccine which could give a false sense of pro- tection and encourage promiscuous behaviour have been expressed by the Catholic community. The Ontario Conference of Catholic Bishops sent a letter to Catholic directors which said it regrets the vaccination program’s in- troduction without more opportunity to study its effects, but added the best interest of children requires parents and guardians to be fully informed before providing consent. The Durham Catholic District School Board will pro- vide parents and guardians with health department information materials, the letter from the Catholic bishops, and one from the director of education, so they can make the final decision.

The fundraiser boasted 122 registered walkers, an increase of 18 from last year. Best of all, the walkers raised $46,300, a whopping $12,300 over the amount raised in 2006, says Paul Gauthier, an orga- nizer of the event, along with Parkinson’s Society Canada, Durham Region chap- ter president Linda Thrasher and Jean Keary. Mr. Gauthier says the total was a pleas- ant surprise for organizers. “We were hoping to get $40,000 from walkers and corporate sponsors, but this year we hit $46,000 from just the walkers,” he says, adding with corporate support, that total could reach $50,000. Participants were asked to walk any- where from one metre to five kilometres for the event, which started and ended at Rotary Park in Ajax. George Ashe, former Pickering mayor and former MPP of the Ajax-Pickering area, was the first person to raise $5,000 in the history of the Durham Region walk. He was followed by George Papanicolo- poulos, who brought in pledges totalling approximately $3,000. All monies raised from the Durham Region Superwalk fund research and sup- port services helping those with Parkin- son’s. Ajax mayor Steve Parish, Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland and Harry Murphy, the vice-president of the Durham Region chapter of Parkinson’s Society Canada, were on hand for the opening ceremo- nies.

Olympian Silken Laumann, now a motivational speaker, will be here Oct. 23 and 24 to help raise money for the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington. Laumann is an Olympic medal- ist in rowing, winning silver and bronze medals in 1996 and 1992 respectively. She won the bronze after a severe leg injury 10 weeks prior to the games. She was also world champion in 1991 and is a member of Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame. Now an author and motivational speaker, her road to Bowmanville started several years ago with local artist Jane Eccles. “It all started right here in Bow- manville,” Eccles said. “It’s been quite an amazing journey.” Eccles was called to the Gar- net Rickard Recreation Complex one day when Sami Jo Small, an Olympic gold medalist hockey goalie, was at the arena. Sommer West, an Olympic baseball player and a hockey player, knew of Ec- cles’s project and called her about Small. Eccles went and met Small and got her permission to paint her. “She was the first one I painted,” said Eccles, who has for some time been painting a series of portraits and of clothing, including Karen Kain’s favourite ballet costume and a dress of former Canadian governor general Adrienne Clark- son. “In researching her, it led me to Silken Laumann and Kids Right to Play” and other programs de- signed to get and keep kids active that Small and Laumann are in- volved in. “I decided I’d paint Silken Lau- mann,” Eccles said. “ I thought I was going to do a rowing image of her.” But through more research, Eccles discovered Laumann’s motivational speaking and more about her work with children’s programs. Eccles also discovered Laumann’s own writings in which she talked about her finding new places, finding a balance. She contacted Laumann, got her permission to paint her, and ended up painting her in a yoga pose. “It was mainly through the words,” Eccles said. “I researched her words. Her words compiled a point of view. She became a very, very real, down-to-earth person.” The portrait was done and be- came part of Eccles’ series of 40 works. Eccles then joined the board at the Visual Arts Centre, which is looking for ways to raise the centre’s profile in the community and funds for needed renovations. After doing the research on Lau- mann, Eccles knew she’s a moti- vational speaker. So she suggested bringing Laumann in, tying arts and sports. “I started thinking about the connection between art and sports,” she said. “It’s the loneli- ness of the pursuit.” Laumann was contacted and agreed to take part in the special program. She’ll give a keynote ad- dress at Oct. 23 at Bowmanville High School at 7 p.m. Tickets are $50. The next day, Oct. 24, there’s a Silken Laumann gala at VAC at 7 p.m. Tickets are $150. During the weekend, the por- trait of Laumann will be on dis- play at VAC. At the same time, the portrait of Small will be in display at Family Gatherings, a children’s clothing store in downtown Bow- manville. There are limited tickets for both events and the gala is half sold already, Eccles said. Proceeds go towards the cost of putting an elevator in the centre. Tickets are on sale at VAC, Simpson Avenue, 905-623-5831, the Scotiabank in Bowmanville, Goodlife Fitness in the Bowman- ville Mall, Total Hockey and Ex- presso Legato.

CURLING SEASON STARTS OCTOBER 9, 2007 Why not try Curling? Pickering dragon boat crews win multiple medals in Australia By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — You won’t hear Brian Garel utter any words of re- gret over a silver medal that was a fraction of a second away from being gold. The 16-year-old Pickering resi- dent and the 19 other West Rouge Canoe Club dragon boat crew members competed in the junior open (under-18) 2,000-metre race final for Canada at the World Drag- on Boat Championships in Sydney, Australia earlier this month. At the finish, the Canadians cap- tured silver, one-half second be- hind the gold-medal-winning Ger- man juniors. According to Garel, there was no shame in losing to a German crew that was as big as it was fast. “Germany did very well, winning seven gold medals; they were a def- inite powerhouse,” explains Garel, a Grade 12 student at Pine Ridge Secondary School. “We realized they were going to be good. They were not only very quick, but they were huge. “Many of their girls were bigger than we were as well,” he added with a laugh. Garel was one of approximate- ly 80 dragon boat paddlers who returned to the waters of French- man’s Bay in Pickering one last time Thursday night after repre- senting Canada well at the week- long worlds, hosted at the Sydney International Regatta Centre in Penwith, Australia. The various teams returned Monday after two weeks in the ‘Land Down Under’. Members of three dragon boat clubs -- West Rouge, the Pickering Dragon Boat Club (PDBC) and Fairport Aquatics Club -- that use Frenchman’s Bay as their train- ing base, met with the media and basked in the afterglow of winning multiple world medals for Canada. The junior open silver medal wasn’t all the good news at worlds for the West Rouge club, which boasts members from Pickering and Scarborough. The junior mixed boat crew captured silver in the 2,000 metres and bronze in the 500 metres. The junior women’s boat also won bronze in the 500 metres. West Rouge coach Dan Evelyn notes it was an exciting time for his West Rouge paddlers at worlds, as they helped Canada win the junior Cup at worlds for overall points in the junior category. Canada also captured the Nations Cup for top overall points. “All the teams we sent were really successful,” says Evelyn, 29, who’s either been competing or coaching for West Rouge since age 13. “They capitalized on all the opportunities that they had. It was an awesome trip.” Still more world medals were earned for Canada by the PDBC, with the junior girls’ dragon boat crew winning the bronze in the 500-metre race. Carly Sellen, 17, notes the junior girls’ crew was a mix of paddlers from PDBC and West Rouge that came together in a hurry to earn a world medal. “We finished in fifth place in the 200 metres, so we picked it up and got bronze and made it to the podium,” says Sellen, a Grade 12 student at Pine Ridge Secondary School. She says the 20 paddlers who formed the PDBC junior women’s team bonded together into a strong unit for worlds. “We didn’t know each other very well but, once we got to Australia, we came together as a team,” she says. As a member of the Canadian ju- nior team that competed in Berlin at worlds two years ago, Sellen says the competition was far superior at the worlds in Australia. “The crews in Australia were so much better and faster. Everyone put up a good race,” she says. Meanwhile, the Fairport Aquatics dragon boat crews, with its mem- bership predominantly from Scar- borough, returned with a plethora of medals, including two gold in the junior women’s 500 metre and 200 metre races, two bronze in the ju- nior men’s two-kilometre and 1,000 metre races. The mixed crew won silver at the 200-metre and 500- metre distances and bronze in the 2,000-metre race. Fairport junior men’s crew mem- ber Matt Hunter, 17, of Scarbor- ough, explains it’s a relatively new club and to post such overwhelm- ing results was unexpected. “Our expectations were, as a new team, that we would maybe not medal, but we medalled in all our races except for two, which was amazing for us,” says Hunter. Several adult teams from the West Rouge Canoe Club also brought back medals from worlds. The senior men’s, senior mixed and premier women’s team from the club won several medals. Included on the senior men’s team was Kevin Stott of Pickering. Karen Lukanov- ich of Pickering won medals as a member of both the senior mixed and premier women’s teams, while Clare MacKenzie, also of Pickering, captured medals as part of the pre- mier women’s team.

Change a light:Replace one regular bulb with a compact fl uorescent light will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. Drive less: Walk, bike, carpool or take metro transit more often. You’ll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don’t drive. Recycle more: You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste. Check your tires: Keeping your tires infl ated properly can improve your gas mileage by more than 3%. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Use less hot water: It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low-fl ow showerhead (350 pounds of CO2 saved per year and washing your clothes in cold water will save 500 pounds per year). Avoid products with over packaging:You can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%. Plant a tree: A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. Adjust your thermostat: Moving your thermostat down just 2 degrees in winter and 2 degrees up in summer will save about 2,000 of carbon dioxide per year. Turn off electric devices: Simply turn off your television, DVD player, stereo and computer when you’re not using them will save thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide per year.

The school held an all-candidates de- bate on Wednesday, organized by civics and politics teacher James Blair. NDP candidate Andrea Moffat, Progressive Conservative candidate Diana Hall, Green Party candidate Anita Lalchan and Liberal candidate Wayne Arthurs answered questions from students regarding the provincial election and the new Pickering-Scarborough East provincial riding. James Vukasinovic asked how each can- didate would make transit better, and men- tioned his annoyance at paying $2.50 per ride. Ms. Moffat shared her frustrating experi- ences waiting for a bus at Whites and Kings- ton roads and said the NDP would freeze fees immediately. Mr. Arthurs said the Liberals have “invest- ed heavily” in the Toronto Transit Commis- sion and Durham Region Transit. He men- tioned the Move Ontario Plan, but reminded everyone that results will show over time. Ms. Hall said the PCs would invest $800 mil- lion in transit, and put every cent of the fuel tax to improving roads and transit. One student asked about lowering tuition fees. Ms. Lalchan said the Green Party would put a $3,000 cap on tuition. Mr. Arthurs said “we’re not planning to lower tuitions.” He mentioned the Liberals’ $6.2 billion invest- ment in Durham’s universities. “Students and parents have a responsibil- ity to participate in their education finan- cially,” he said. Ms. Moffat told students the PCs were responsible for deregulating tuition and that the “McGuinty Liberals” froze tuition fees for two years, then raised them by 36 per cent. “The NDP is proposing an immediate roll- back to pre-McGuinty times,” she said. She added the eventual goal is getting it down to zero. Ms. Hall said cost should not be a deter- rent to getting an education. “Our plans are to invest $600 million more in post-secondary education,” she said. She added if the government invests, there won’t be a need to raise tuition. Emily Tsinokas asked Mr. Arthurs where he stands on faith-based school funding. Mr. Arthurs said “we’re not going to fund pri- vate schools or private religious schools.” He noted the multicultural and multi-religious students he sees at schools such as Dunbar- ton High School. Ms. Hall said the PCs believe in funding schools for everyone, and “we need to be an all-inclusive public school system.” She said if six other provinces can make it work, there’s no reason Ontario cannot. Another student told Mr. Arthurs about his six-and-a-half hour wait in the emergency room when he broke his arm and asked how situations like this can be prevented. Mr. Ar- thurs said “we need to build infrastructure to make it happen.” He said the redevelopment of Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital will begin in October, enabling it to handle 60,000 emergency visits per year. When one student asked about the airport, Ms. Moffat said although she understands that development is needed to create jobs and improve the economy, “the environ- ment needs to be sustained, not the needs of the developers.” Ms. Lalchan said “an airport in Pickering will be terrible for air quality,” and the focus should be on protecting green space. None of the candidates officially said whether they were for or against an airport, but Mr. Arthurs said he’d like to see a proper business case. Mr. Blair said he was glad to see some of the students well-versed and aware of the election topics. He said if the students bring the topics home, parents will either be happy to converse with their kids, or embar- rassed their children know more than them, “which will hopefully spur the parent into acting.” MP Holland discusses federal issues Visits his old stomping grounds at Pickering City Hall By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — It’s time municipalities were treated as equals and not like children, says Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland. Upper tiers of government and their rela- tionship with municipalities is one issue Mr. Holland discussed when he visited the last Pickering Council meeting. Others issues included the proposed Pickering airport, in- frastructure and nuclear waste. Mr. Holland, a former Pickering council- lor, said in terms of infrastructure, he feels the federal government should communi- cate more with municipalities, particularly in areas such as the environment and sus- tainable and livable communities. “Discussions about working with munic- ipalities have been curtailed and pushed back and I think that’s a shame,” Mr. Holland said. He shared his distaste with the recent internal due diligence review the Greater Toronto Airports Authority conducted on the need for an airport, which concluded one was needed. “I can only imagine the GTAA being quite elated at this outcome as they will no doubt find the work that they themselves did to be most exemplary,” he said. Other airport concerns included the GTAA’s lack of co-operation in releasing doc- uments Mr. Holland had requested under the Freedom of Information Act, and that when he did receive them, a lot of mate- rial was heavily censored. He also said the airport-land homes have not been properly managed, and the documents showed “a ploy to systematically destroy the commu- nity within those lands.” He emphasized the importance of protecting its heritage homes. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson questioned Mr. Holland on the maintenance of the homes because he said he’s noticed great improvements since SNC Lavalin Pro- Fac took over property duties. “But you do know that it was your gov- ernment in 1988 that took over power and the funding that the requirements for those properties has turned around in the last year,” he said. “Myself as an example, I re- ceived a new well, new hand railings, new siding.” Mr. Holland said the change to Pro- Fac was positive and “that was something that was being secured before the govern- ment came in.” But he added there are still a number of residents experiencing prob- lems. That’s why he’s disappointed no clear mandate on Transport Canada’s plans has been set in place. Mr. Holland also spoke of a recent convention in Vienna regarding the deportation and storage of uranium to Canada, and said with the amount of nuclear waste currently stored at the power station in Pickering, it’s no small concern to the com- munity. “These discussions are going on without public consultation,” he said. Mayor Dave Ryan said he was pleased with Mr. Holland’s comments regarding the relationship between municipalities and se- nior levels of governments. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Zain Rizvi, a Grade 10 student at Dunbarton High School, asks a question regarding the Pickering airport lands during an all-candidates’ debate at the school. Pupils challenge candidates Transit and environment will influence new Pickering voters By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Some Dunbarton High School students will happily cast their vote for the first time on Oct. 10. At an all-candidates debate at the school on Wednesday, students listened to Pro- gressive Conservative candidate Diana Hall, Liberal candidate Wayne Arthurs, NDP candidate Andrea Moffat and Green Party candidate Anita Lalchan - four of seven can- didates in the Pickering-Scarborough East riding competing for student votes. Michael Katugampola said he’ll vote in the provincial election because he sees a number of environmental issues in the com- munity that he wants addressed, and ideas and services he’d like to see implemented. “A huge problem for me is tackling the problems of the environment while not af- fecting the economy in a bad way, he says.” Mr. Katugampola hopes an MPP that’s committed and one he can trust will be elected. “There’s a lot of candidates in the past that have promised a whole lot of services for us and they’ve not necessarily come through with them,” he said. “I want someone who’s going to come through with all the services that they’re planning to help our community with.” Nadia Hussein is not old enough to vote, but attended the debate to enhance her journalistic aspirations, and because she’ll vote in the future. Ms. Hussein said if she could, she’d vote for Ms. Moffat since “I like all the stuff that she said,” such as freezing - and eventu- ally lowering - tuition fees. She also feels since Ms. Moffat is a former Dunbarton High School student, she knows what affects the students. She also found her the most engaging. “As soon as I walked in the door, she was right there, and gave me papers and stuff,” she said. James Vukasinovic, who questioned can- didates on their views regarding the lower- ing of public transit fees, will also vote for the first time. “Public transit is really important to me,” he said. He added public transportation is an issue for many of the other young voters he knows. Students geared up to vote SCARBOROUGH 416.701.1201 2130 Lawrence Ave. E.
