Amanda Low, whose distress mounted throughout the day, lost control when Ontario Court Jus- tice Gregory Regis sentenced her to two-and-a-half years in custody, rejecting a defence submission for a blended term of several months of incarceration followed by house arrest. “Oh my God! Two-and-a-half years!” shouted the 19-year-old Ms. Low, who earlier in the day had pleaded guilty to one count of impaired driving causing death and three counts of impaired driv- ing causing bodily harm in con- nection with a horrific crash just before midnight Nov. 5, 2006, on Rossland Road in Ajax. The outburst followed an emo- tional day during which Justice Regis heard of the events leading up to the crash that killed 18-year- old Joshua Hutchinson and left other young people with serious injuries. Justice Regis said in delivering judgment the harsh penitentiary term is appropriate, considering the amount of suffering caused by Ms. Low’s decision to drive home after drinking heavily at a house party and then an Ajax bar. “This is a tragic case,” the judge said in an Oshawa courtroom. “Three people who were pas- sengers suffered tremendous, se- rious injuries, and those injuries will be ongoing. And one person died.” Ms. Low, who was 18 at the time, had more than twice the legal amount of alcohol in her system and was driving a car packed with young friends at an estimated 139 km/h in a 60 km/h zone on Ross- A FAMILY PJ P ARTY Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Rosebank Road Public School held a Family PJ Party with entertainment from Douglas John of Treehouse TV.

The election results aren’t official until they’re published in the Ontario Gazette. Once that’s done, Ajax council can declare the Ward 2 local Councillor seat held by Joe Dickson vacant. That will start the clock on how the vacancy will be filled. Town clerk Marty de Rond told council’s gen- eral government committee last Thursday that until the results are published Mr. Dickson is “still a member of council.” The Gazette is published each Saturday and the information wasn’t in the Oct. 20 edition. That means Oct. 27 is the next edition. The next council meeting isn’t until Nov. 12, and “council will have to formally declare the seat vacant,” Mr. de Rond stated. Once it’s vacant, council has the option of filling it with either an appointment or with a byelec- tion. Council will have up to 60 days from the day the seat is declared vacant to decide on an appoint- ment or byelection. If a byelection is held, it would be 105 days “max to hold a byelection,” he said. land Road near Riverside Drive in rural Ajax, and ignored pleas of passengers to slow down, said Crown counsel Robert Corbella. The vehicle became airborne as it crested a hill and flew through the air for more than 16 metres, he said. The car rolled and crashed into a tree. Several occupants were ejected. Mr. Hutchinson, a native of Uxbridge who’d been living in Cannington, died at the scene. His long-time girlfriend, Autumn Carlson, was among a number of young people including Ms. Low, to sustain serious injuries. A blood test taken at hospital following the crash showed that in addition to alcohol Ms. Low had traces of cocaine, marijuana and opiates in her system, the prosecutor said. Mr. Corbella said the carnage and pain of the crash could have been avoided had Ms. Low heeded an often repeated message: Don’t drink and drive. “The truly tragic part of this is that none of this has to happen,” he told Justice Regis. “There’s simply no justifiable reason for endan- gering everyone in your vehicle and everyone on the road with this kind of conduct.” Ms. Low’s lawyer Mike Caroline said the young woman is haunted by her decision to drive and the tragic results of that decision, describing her as having wrestled with feelings of guilt and de- pression. Stephen Hutchinson, father of the young man who died, delivered a victim impact statement in which he described the horror of having to identify his son in the Oshawa morgue and of the emptiness his passing had left. “I go to sleep every night thinking of Josh and every morning when I wake up and open my eyes I think of him,” he said. “And I miss him very, very much.” Outside court Mr. Hutchinson fondly recalled Joshua, the middle child in a family of five kids and spoke of the special bond he had with Ms. Carlson, whom he met while in elementary school. The two kids were representing their Uxbridge-area schools at a regional track meet in Oshawa when they met five years ago, he said. “They met there and they were together ever since,” Mr. Hutchinson said.

Michelle Burton says her neigh- bours have discussed the condition of Taunton between Harwood Ave- nue and Salem Road, which has been under construction all summer. “It’s a neighbourhood joke, pretty soon we’ll be airlifted to our houses,” Ms. Burton states. On Monday, a 54-year-old Bramp- ton man working on the construction was hit. The accident happened around 11:30 a.m. on Taunton near Harwood. The man was taken to the Rouge Val- ley Ajax and Pickering hospital before being airlifted to a Toronto hospital with life-threatening injuries. Following the accident, Ms. Burton sent an e-mail to Ajax Mayor Steve Parish, complaining about the situ- ation along Taunton. He replied that Taunton is a regional responsibility and forwarded Ms. Burton’s e-mail to Durham Region officials. Taunton is being widened to four lanes through Ajax. Susan Siopis, with the Region’s works department, says the construc- tion work is behind schedule and the hope is to have four paved lanes be- fore winter hits. “We’re crossing our fingers. The weather is holding for us,” Ms. Siopis says. Few complaints have been received about safety, she notes. “Everyone can see very clearly they have to slow down. We do get com- plaints about backed up traffic,” she states. “I’m more scared to drive that road and I’m a confident driver,” Ms. Bur- ton states. “I said to a construction worker, ‘are you unionized?.’ There’s no way I’d be working on the road.” She was travelling along Taunton when the man was hit. “I saw the man flying through the air like a rag doll,” she notes. “I thought he was going to land on my car. He landed beside my car.” One of the first people to help the injured man is a nurse at the Ajax- Pickering hospital. “She did a wonder- ful job.” Ms. Burton is a medical secretary. “I know what kind of journey he’ll have because of his injury.” The driver who hit the man “was going 50 to 60 kilometres, full speed in a construction zone. She should never have been going that speed. They should have had guys out there with stop signs,” Ms. Burton adds. The injured man was in the road, she says. “I saw him in the road before he was hit. “The condition of the road has been like that for a while. This week has been better than in the past,” she adds. “The way I saw him fly, I don’t see how anyone could survive. It’s hor- rible. “It needs a lot of attention.” Drivers are getting frustrated, Ms. Burton states, noting it was particu- larly bad in the summer with cottagers trying to get out of town fast. The Region’s website noted the south side of Taunton would be com- pleted by September “and they haven’t even begun. “Anyone who drives on the road on a regular basis knows how dangerous it is. It’s very dangerous.” Ms. Burton said she has three teen- age children and she has them stand near the fence line of the works de- partment while waiting for a bus.

The envelope was dis- covered around 5 a.m. as employees started their shift and police were on scene just before 6 a.m. “We got a call from staff here that they had an enve- lope they were concerned about. We came down and took a look and deter- mined they had the right to be concerned,” said Sgt. Paul McCurbin. “I’m not prepared to talk about ex- actly what was on the out- side of the package, but the writing was suspicious in nature.” The post office was evac- uated of 100 employees at 8:30 a.m. and police cor- doned off the back parking lot and a stretch of Celina Street, before bringing in the bomb robot. “It’s a little scary to see the bomb squad out here,” said Chris Brant, who couldn’t get to his car parked in the public lot at Celina and Athol. “You hear about this happening other places but you don’t think it will happen here.” Letter carrier Todd Boles said this is the first time he has witnessed a bomb scare at the Oshawa post office and said he was told by colleagues the suspi- cious envelope was bulky and had no postage on it. “You never know with this stuff, you can’t be too careful,” he said. By 9:30 a.m. police had detonated the package with a loud bang and employees were allowed back in the building soon after. Sgt. McCurbin said po- lice are not yet releasing details of what was inside the package but he ex- pected further information to be available later in the day. According to Albert Lee, a spokesman for Canada Post, there are sever- al things that might prompt an employ- ee to flag a package as suspicious. “Something like an odd smell or an odd stain or the way it is ad- dressed even. We have a checklist posted for staff to refer to,” he said. “In this case, we followed all the protocols to the letter. Safe- ty is always of the highest concern for us.” *ALL SHOES/PRODUCTS NOT EXACTLY AS SHOWN, SIZING MAY BE LIMITED, ALL SALES FINAL, ALL MODELS NOT LISTED MANY OF YOUR FAVORITES ON CLEARANCE CHOOSE A SECOND PAIR FROM SIDEWALK SALE MODELS | MUST BE EQUAL OR LOWER PRICE SALE FOOTWEAR & APPAREL CANNOT BE COMBINED SALE FOOTWEAR BUY ONE GET ONE OFF SALE APPAREL SELECT SECOND PIECE FROM SIDEWALK SALE APPAREL | MUST BE EQUAL OR LOWER PRICE SALE FOOTWEAR & APPAREL CANNOT BE COMBINED SELECTED MIZUNO, BROOKS, ASICS,NEW BALANCE, AND NIKE APPAREL ON SALE!

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 26, 2007 durhamregion.com LETTER TO THE EDITOR Push retailers to offer you fair price when shopping Finance minister shows leadership Y ou sure can’t blame Jim Flaherty for giving it the good old college try. The federal finance minister and Whitby-Oshawa MP has been front-and-centre in recent days over his at- tempts to get retailers to bring their prices here more in line with the cost of identical goods south of the border. Canadians have long been used to paying a premium on items in the Great White North. It was easy to justify pay- ing much more in loonie bucks when their value was 65, 75 or even 85 cents of a yankee greenback. But when our currency is worth more than U.S. cash and should have more purchasing power, it wrankles that items in Canada are still much more expensive than in the United States. Consider the impact such pricing policies will have on cross-border shopping. Even taking into consideration the duty which must be paid on U.S. purchases at Canada Customs, shoppers still get a great bargain when they buy in the United States. And that means heavy losses in tax revenue for our federal government, not to mention lost sales for our retailers. While prices aren’t tied only to currency values -- there are economies of scale that make volume buying by U.S. retail giants a much better bargain for customers down there than up here -- it doesn’t make much sense that prices are so out of whack. Mr. Flaherty spoke to and listened to some of Canada’s major retailers earlier this week before speaking to the media. Much like his efforts to push banks to cut back on ATM fees last spring, the finance minister admitted he was limited in what he could do. Short of imposing price controls -- a relic from the 1970s -- or trying to bring forth legislation that would tie prices to dollar values, the feds can really only push for busi- nesses to be as competitive as possible in trying to keep customers happy north of the border. Mr. Flaherty’s message, boiled down, is that consumers push retailers to offer competitive prices and that shop- pers look for discounts where they can. Some retailers when faced with goods priced in both U.S. and Canadian dollars are allowing customers to pay the lower U.S. price. That keeps business from heading out the door in favour of better bargains and is the best way to prevent shoppers and the dollars they represent, from finding their way into U.S. pockets. Weather is sign of ticking time bomb I ’m scared. It isn’t supposed to be 26 C in mid October. I clearly remember dressing as a Care Bear or a ghost for Halloween because I had to choose a costume that would fit over a snowsuit and now there are people driving around in convertibles when we should be preparing for snow. The effects of climate change are here and based on what we have seen weather wise this fall you would have to have spent the past six months with your head in the ground not to recognize it. Climate change is the most serious threat facing the world. I may sound like a bit of an alarmist, but if we don’t do some- thing soon we face a catastrophe. Durham Region is making strides in the fight against climate change by taking a leadership in the Smart Commute and enacting idling policies for works depart- ment fleets and transit vehicles. Thirty, new clean bio-diesel buses recently re- placed older buses. The Regional Official Plan includes a policy that targets 30 per cent woodland coverage. It has an aggres- sive waste diversion program and Regional buildings use energy-efficient lighting. Probably one of the most encouraging moves thus far is the Durham Round- table on climate change. The framework received planning committee approval and with any luck it will be approved by the finance and administration committee and then by Council. The roundtable will be comprised of local politicians, the Regional chairman and chief administrative officer, and key people from the manufacturing, transpor- tation, development, agriculture, commu- nication, education and health-care in- dustries. The group will serve to mitigate and adapt to climate change because, after all, municipalities play a key role in curbing this ticking time bomb. Hopefully, through this group, Durham Region will position itself as a leader in addressing climate change issues by preparing and recom- mending a strategy. Stopping urban sprawl, building sus- tainable cities with schools, shops and parks within walking distance, creating a network of bike paths, pedestrian friendly planning and other sustainable transport options all play a role. I have to remain hopeful this group will aggressively ad- dress these topics. Climate change is caused by human ac- tion, so while our municipalities get poli- cies and planning in place, take action at home. I have written columns about waste re- duction, commuting and the importance of buying locally before and I don’t want to belabour the point. But, there is nothing more important that I would choose to fill this valued space with. So, indulge me once again while I remind you, all the good residents of Durham, to reduce energy use, choose efficient appliances, buy locally grown produce and walk or take transit when you can.

The men were convicted after a trial in August on a variety of charges including fraud, conspiracy to com- mit an offence and posses- sion of instruments used in forging credit cards. A fourth man, Praka- lathan Sabratnam of Ajax, pleaded guilty last Decem- ber and was sentenced to provincial jail time. Police closed in on the men as they dismantled equipment they’d installed at a Pickering pizza restau- rant in June of 2006. The ongoing investiga- tion led cops to a house on Unsworth Crescent in Ajax, where investigators seized blank debit cards, pinhole cameras and instruments for reading and writing credit card data, as well as computer hard drives and thousands of credit and debit card numbers. Wednesday morning On- tario Court Justice Donald Halikowski was to have de- livered judgment on sen- tence for one of the men and hear submissions from lawyers on sentences for the other two. But a Tamil interpreter booked for the hearing didn’t show up and there was no immediate re- placement, which derailed the proceedings. The men are due back in court Nov. 16 for sentenc- ing. 2Og /QbWdWbWSa 2c`ObW]\ ;]\ROg BcSaROg ESR\SaROg BVc`aROg 4`WROg AObc`ROg Ac\ROg ESSY ESSY to 2Og /QbWdWbWSa 2c`ObW]\ ;]\ROg BcSaROg ESR\SaROg BVc`aROg 4`WROg AObc`ROg Ac\ROg ESSY ESSY to 2Og /QbWdWbWSa 2c`ObW]\ ;]\ROg BcSaROg ESR\SaROg BVc`aROg 4`WROg AObc`ROg Ac\ROg ESSY"ESSY"to 2Og /QbWdWbWSa 2c`ObW]\ ;]\ROg BcSaROg ESR\SaROg BVc`aROg 4`WROg AObc`ROg Ac\ROg ESSY!ESSY!to EW\U`SOb^`WhSa ;O^ZS:SOT @O^b]`BWQYSba2W\\S`T]`4]c`=aVOeO5S\S`OZa4O[WZg>OaaSaAV]e>OaaSa@SQ 1S\b`S;S[PS`aVW^a;W\W^cbbO\R:OaS`?cSab>OaaSaA^]`bW\U5]]Ra5WTb1S`bWËQObSa AQV]]ZeWbVbVSU`SObSab^O`bWQW^ObW]\eW\aO[OaaWdSa^]`bW\US_cW^[S\b^OQYOUS B`OQYg]c`^VgaWQOZOQbWdWbg T]`"eSSYaPSbeSS\=Qb]PS` abO\R2SQS[PS` \Rb]eW\ U`SOb^`WhSa 5]b]eee Rc`VO[ZWdSa ]`UdWaWbO\g]TbVSZ]QObW]\aZWabSRPSZ]e]`QOZZ' #$$$$ " T]`O\S\b`gT]`[O\ROQ][^ZSbSZWab]T`cZSaO\R`SUcZObW]\a ;OWZg]c`Q][^ZSbSRb`OQYS` b]1O`]Zg\;OQ2]\OZR>= 0]f%!

The outstanding questions have to be “answered within the realm of cer- tainty and it’s not close to that. Until they’re answered, I can’t go forward with this,” he added. Councillors were discussing a staff report that dealt with a draft report from Durham Region on an incinerator in Clarington. The staff report noted Durham’s document doesn’t include the possible costs for Ajax taxpayers, as well as the cost of such things as roads to the facil- ity. There is also limited or no informa- tion on further diversion of waste and what will happen to the ash after the garbage is burned. Wards 3 and 4 Regional Council- lor Colleen Jordan noted the “cost per tonne for landfilling is cheaper than incineration. “I’ve not heard much discussion about the ash,” Coun. Jordan said, add- ing a British study found “there’s no safe way to landfill ash from an incin- eration facility.” She also asked if there has been any discussion on where the ash would be landfilled. Paul Allore, the director of planning and development, said the draft report “is silent on ash.” Wards 1 and 2 Regional Councillor Scott Crawford, a member of the Re- gional works committee, said, “From the onset, we’ve had Peterborough and Northumberland at the table. They’re sitting on the perimeter with some- thing Durham doesn’t have and that’s landfill capacity. “They’re the ones to take residual ash. We’ll take their garbage and they’ll take our ash,” he stated. He added, however, that an agree- ment hasn’t been signed with either jurisdiction. Coun. Jordan noted the “preferred site was selected without the preferred technology known. They should be looked at together.” “Before we make a decision, we have to know if this will add $30 to our taxes or $300 to our taxes. It’s not known in any way at this time,” noted mayor Par- ish. He added waste from Peterborough and Northumberland could also be burned at the site. There’s no program in place for in- dustrial, commercial or institutional waste. “Unless it’s separated, it will be a mass burn and we won’t know what’s in it and we won’t know what’s in the char or the ash. “This will do nothing to promote separation and recycling,” the mayor added. Ward 4 local Councillor Pat Brown asked why other municipalities could be allowed to use the facility. “Every meeting I’ve been at, they said it wouldn’t have capacity for that.” Councillors wanted the issue of the ash to be considered during the en- vironmental assessment and that the incinerator only handle York and Dur- ham trash. During the council meeting on Mon- day, Coun. Jordan again proposed that only residential and residual (trash left over after recyclables are removed) garbage from York and Durham re- gions be accepted at the facility. She said having the incinerator “maybe attracting waste from other municipalities and that’s raising con- siderable concern.” Port Hope Festival Theatre Nuncrackers 905.885.1071 www.phft.ca The “Nunsense” Christmas Musical by Dan Goggin November 8th - 25th Dickson 220 Harwood Ave. S.

From Oct. 25 to Nov. 7, the Environ- ics Research Company is conducting a poll of Ajax residents, trying to determine what areas the Town is improving on in delivering services. It’s a follow-up to a survey done in 2005, in which residents were asked a series of questions, including their perception and satisfaction with the delivery of services, interaction with Town staff, spending practices and the waterfront. Doing the polling fulfils an objec- tive in council’s 2007-2010 Corporate Strategic Plan to ‘Enhance the Deliv- ery of Customer Service.’ “Public opinion polling is a valu- able tool to understand what Ajax residents want and need,” David Forget, manager, quality service and special projects, says in a press re- lease. “Polling ensures that we keep in touch with our residents, helps us to focus our attention on improving service delivery to meet the needs of our diverse community. It also ensures that we meet our targets and criteria outlined in the strategic plan.” For benchmarking purposes, many of the questions are being asked in the same way as in 2005. It will help determine where the Town is improv- ing in delivering services and where improvements need to be made. The new survey targets several areas of particular interest, such as commu- nity safety and election voting prac- tices. Once the survey is completed, En- vironics is completing a report and doing a presentation for council. Also, Town staff will continue to survey residents by posting ques- tions on the Town of Ajax website. ® smoothfitness.com/canada #1 FACTORY DIRECT INTERNET SOLD BRAND True LE200 SALE PRICE $129999 our reg. price $169999 SAVE $400 Horizon PST8 SALE PRICE $159999 our reg. price $249999 SAVE $900 Life Fitness T35 SALE PRICE $239999 our reg. price $339999 SAVE $1000 Life Fitness T55 SALE PRICE $369999 our reg. price $449999 SAVE $800 Smooth Razor 4.25 SALE PRICE $89999 our reg. price $119999 SAVE ELLIPTICALS Bremshey Orbit Trail SALE PRICE $54999 our reg. price $79999 SAVE $250 Bremshey Orbit Control SALE PRICE $64999 our reg. price $79999 SAVE $150 Octane Q35 SALE PRICE $219999 our reg. price $259999 SAVE $400 Life Fitness X3 SALE PRICE $229999 our reg. price $299999 SAVE $700 Horizon EX-65 SALE PRICE $69999 our reg. price $109999 SAVE HOME GYMS Hoist V2 SALE PRICE $179999 our reg. price $239999 SAVE $600 Bowflex Extreme 2 SALE PRICE $159999 our reg. price $209999 SAVE $500 Hoist V5 SALE PRICE $239999 our reg. price $299999 SAVE $600 Life Fitness G5 SALE PRICE $279999 our reg. price $349999 SAVE $700 Bowflex Motivator 2 SALE PRICE $69999 our reg. price $89999 SAVE $200 EXCERCISE BIKES SAVE $200 SAVE $250 SAVE $150 SAVE $100 Bremshey Comfort Ambition Recumbent SALE PRICE $39999 our reg.price $59999 SAVE $200 SAVE UPTO BASICCONSOLE BASICCONSOLE 25% SAVE UPTOSAVE 70% TREADMILLS off our reg. price off our reg. price 25% off our reg. price Forza Weight Lifting Gloves Assorted styles Forza Speed Bags 2 sizes to choose from. 11" x 7" and 13" x 8" Forza Weighted Skipping Ropes Huge selection Eco Yoga Mats NOW $2499 our reg. price $3299 Life Fitness C1 Upright SALE PRICE $94998 our reg. price $109998 Lamar S74r Recumbent SALE PRICE $64999 our reg. price $89999 Bremshey Trail Upright SALE PRICE $29999 our reg. price $49999 $300 $400 WE GUARANTEE THE LOWEST PRICES IN CANADA.† PLUS Don’t Pay FOR 1YEAR* NO Down Payment NO Interest WE HAVE THE BEST FOR LESS!

Round two in Ajax customer polling ‘Public opinion polling is a valuable tool to understand what Ajax res- idents want and need.’ DAVID FORGET drinfo.ca/croneblog.htmlCOLUMNIST NEIL CRONEFOLLOW ALL OUR BLOGS durhamregion. typepad.com BLOG ENTER LAUGHING ...then stay a while By Keith Gilligan kgillligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Four reactors at the Pickering nuclear station are churning out power, while two others are in the midst of planned main- tenance work. Pierre Tremblay, the site vice-president for Pickering ‘B’, noted, “We are into the fall and we are starting our fall planned outages.” Unit 6 is in a planned outage and the work is “progressing well” he said during a meet- ing of the Community Advisory Council on Tuesday. Ontario Power Generation announced last week that Unit 1 had gone into a planned maintenance outage. Units 4, 5, 7 and 8 are all operating at full power. Units 2 and 3 were placed in a permanent shutdown state in 2005. Mr. Tremblay said since then, fuel has been removed from the units. He also pointed to the company’s safety record in nuclear operations, saying, “We’re collectively working on eight million hours without a loss-time accident.” These include more than three million hours at both Pickering ‘B’ and Darlington and about 1.6 million hours at Pickering ‘A’. “It’s a performance we want to maintain,” he added. The ‘B’ side at Pickering includes units 5 to 8 and OPG is working on a business case, including an environmental assessment, on whether the four reactors can be refurbished, so they can be operated longer. On Monday, Pat McNeil, a senior vice- president, nuclear generation development, spoke to Ajax council about the refurbish- ment of Pickering ‘B’ and the possibility of new reactors being built next to the Darling- ton nuclear station in Clarington. Mr. McNeil said a draft EA study has been filed with the federal regulator, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. A final EA will be filed this fall and the CNSC will issue its recommendation sometime in late 2008. The draft EA, he stated, showed that en- vironmental impacts “we believe, most can be managed. There will be no significant environmental impacts predicted by the re- furbishment. “In building the business case, we’ve done a fairly exhaustive review of the facility.” One aspect is an Integrated Safety Review, which looks at the plant and how it would look if built today, he said. If the Pickering reactors are refurbished, the units could operate until 2060. OPG is studying the construction of four new reactors at Darlington, although Mr. Mc- Neil noted, “What will ultimately be built has not yet been determined.” OPG is looking at the “scenario of the maxi- mum amount being built” and the EA for the new reactors will take about three years, he said. There are five licences in the life of a nucle- ar reactor -- site preparation, construction, operating, decommissioning and abandon- ing the site. The site preparation work will take about two years. “We can’t begin any construction until we have a construction licence.” Building, running and then dismantling a nuclear station is “a 140-year project. I’d like to say I’ll be around for the life cycle of the plant. I don’t think I’ll be achieving it. I’d like to be around for the start,” Mr. McNeil stated. The earliest a new station could begin op- erating is about 2016, he noted. “It’s a very long project. This is what we’re exploring in the EA.” A panel review will be conducted by CNSC on the EA, he added. “We expect to find out what the panel will look like and who is on it by the fall or January or February of 2008.” AJAX 105 Bayly St. W. 905-683-2212 We Pay CASH for New and Used Items!

Work continues on refurbishing Pickering nuclear reactors ‘In building the business case, we’ve done a fairly exhaustive review of the facility.’ PAT MCNEIL Whitevale’s latest work bee to help rejuvenate nearly 150-year-old home By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Whitevale residents have been dedicating their time, effort and sup- port to community work projects for centu- ries. “It’s all about TLC,” said Whitevale and District Residents’ Association member Gordon Willson. On Oct. 20, about 30 people offered their labour, support and even musical cheer, in the first step of restoring the Christian House in Whitevale at the Christian House Community Work Bee. Volunteers under- took three tasks: cleaning out the home; securing it for winter; and, dismantling the collapsing garage. Although more people attended the bee than expected, Mr. Willson said he wasn’t surprised. “An ambition for the village is the com- mon thing that unites people,” he said. He added an uplifting feeling resonated among volunteers after the afternoon of hard work. The now-city-owned building was built by T.P. White, after whom the hamlet was named, in 1858 or 1859. It was most likely built for a worker of Mr. White’s large mills, and is currently the smallest home in the village. It was last occupied by the Christian fam- ily in the mid-1970s, around the same time the provincial government expropriated the land. Still on its original foundation, “noth- ing has been done to it in 35 years. “I think the reason it hasn’t fallen down is because the building itself is so well built,” Mr. Willson said. Volunteers have participated in a number of similar projects in the past. They held “barn-raisings” in the 19th century, and restored the Miller House, now the village’s community centre, over numerous working bees between 1979 and 1980. These are just some examples of the various projects vil- lage residents have undertaken. “It’s a tradition that we revived because it works,” he said. “People are the same today as any other day.” The City donated a dumpster, plywood to board up holes for the winter and all of the safety equipment, such as hard hats, gloves and masks. Mr. Willson said the residents’ association often works on the homes because it’s less expensive than if the City was to hire profes- sionals. The association will ask the City for some help, however, with specific jobs, such as fixing up some of the foundation and install- ing eavestroughs. He stressed it’s a working proposal, and the residents’ association will still do la- bour-intensive work. Mr. Willson explained a number of To- ronto District School Board schools use Whitevale, which contains the Seaton Trail and various wildlife, for social studies and geography lessons. Once restored, a pos- sible use is a teacher’s resource centre for fieldwork materials or simply storing stu- dents’ belongings while they’re out in the field. With a lot of work still to be done, he doesn’t anticipate its completion for an- other couple of years. “This is the first step,” Mr. Willson said. “We’re putting it back on its feet.” SEE OUR FLYER IN TODAY’S PAPER FLOOR MODELS SCRATCH & DENTS ON ALL SPAS 4’x8’ Limited Quantit i e s $899 The Black Champion NOW ONLY Limited Supply Save up toSave up to 5050 Off% MSRP Off% MSRP Limited Introd u c t o r y O f f e r All Billiard Tab l e s ON ALL POOL TABLES & HOT TUBS SEE OUR FLYER IN TODAY’S PAPER All pricing after applicable rebates, coupons cannot be combined with any other offers.

But, the director of financial planning and purchasing for the Region’s finance department, Mary Simpson, said most residents won’t notice the difference. “If they are not buying a new house they are not going to see the impact of the development charg- es,” Ms. Simpson said. “But, they will see the advantage of having that revenue come in.” Development charges are a cost to developers to recover the growth-related capital costs for things like water, sewer and roads. “If we didn’t collect the develop- ment charges we would have to pay for the growth-related capital cost through user rates or property taxes,” Ms. Simpson said. “So by imposing a development charge we are able to recover the growth- related capital from growth.” The Region’s transit develop- ment charge is designed to fund approximately $21.3 million over the next decade, which represents 16.4 per cent of the Region’s transit growth/expansion program and 10.7 per cent of its total capital forecast for transit. Development charges for the Seaton area in Pickering have been excluded and the Region will look at fees for that area next year. In the case of transit there isn’t much difference between what’s charged at the municipal level and what the Region will charge. The proposed Regional charge is higher than the Whitby and Os- hawa transit development charg- es, lower than the Pickering/ Ajax charges and well above Claring- ton. These five of Durham’s eight area municipalities currently col- lect development charges for tran- sit. Pickering charges $531, Ajax $517, Whitby $284, Oshawa $305 and Clarington charges $22. The Region’s calculated development charge for a single detached unit is $342. A public meeting takes place Oct. 31 to explain the charges at 9 a.m. in the Regional Council chambers at Regional Headquar- ters in Whitby. Comments can also be made in writing to the Regional Clerk, Pat Madill, no later than 4 p.m. on Nov. 6. Copies of the proposed bylaw are available from the Regional Clerk or on the Region’s website, www. region.durham.on.ca.

TRENDset E-mail miscommunication DURHAM — As a marketing ploy, it doesn’t get any better than Chewbacca. At more than six feet, the hairy Star Wars character attracts a lot of attention as he makes his way down King Street in downtown Oshawa. Walking next to him is Darth Vader -- slightly shorter but just as awe-inspiring. The characters are part of the Costume King, a seasonal store that has sprung up next to Coun- try Style Bistro for the Halloween season. “I need a hair cut,” says Mark LaFlamme with a laugh from inside the well-designed Chew- bacca costume. His job is to walk the streets in an effort to make passersby aware of the store’s existence. “We are only here for two months,” says Adriana Aitken, who looks after the store. The costumes contained within it are the work of her mother-in-law, Helen Hamilton, who operates a shop in Peterborough year- round. “But we have a lot of custom- ers coming from Oshawa,” Ms. Aitken says. “So we open this satellite store to accommodate those customers.” A designer by trade, Ms. Ham- ilton designs and manufactures many of the costumes herself. While it is a year-round busi- ness -- think bunnies for Easter or Santa Claus for Christmas -- Halloween is the single busiest time of the year for the industry. According to the Retail Coun- cil of Canada, 47 per cent of Ca- nadians plan to purchase or rent Halloween costumes this year. “Halloween brings out the king in all of us,” said Diane Brisebois, president and CEO of the coun- cil. “And Canadians like to cel- ebrate the spookiest day of the year with traditional items such as pumpkins, candy and other treats, along with costumes and decorations.” But a good-quality costume doesn’t always come cheap. Want to go as a Caribbean pirate a la Johnny Depp? The costume, part of Ms. Hamilton’s Grand Heritage Collection, costs $165. Rental will run you $95. The Chewbacca and Darth Vader costumes -- which cost hundreds of dollars to make - - are available for rental at an even higher price. Ms. Hamilton, who teaches high school sewing classes, designs the period and historical costumes from movies and books -- and she specializes in custom orders. Lining the Oshawa store are numerous animal costumes, beautiful historical dresses and whimsical outfits, all made from Ms. Hamilton’s imagination. “She is very successful at what she does,” Ms. Aitken said. Besides the handmade cos- tumes, the seasonal store also sells wigs and hats and gener- ic “sexy” costumes for women, such as “Red Hot Riding Hood” -- which sells for $70 -- or “Blue- berry Girl” for $80.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 26, 2007 PAGE 19 A/Pdurhamregion.com homeWEET It’s easy to get caught up in the fun of Halloween - in fact, planning out cos- tumes and decorations often starts early, and by the time Halloween night arrives it’s all kids can do to keep from bursting with excitement! While Halloween is certainly about fun, it’s also about safety - and parents need to take the lead when it comes to ensuring the safety of both their kids - and others - on Halloween night. Some top tips to keep in mind: • Keep your house free of safety haz- ards. Clear your walkway of toys or other tripping hazards for the little ghouls and goblins that will be visiting your home. Halloween decorations can add spooky ambiance, but make sure they don’t block lights or obstruct vis- ibility. • Be wise with your candy purchases. Give some thought to the candy you choose to hand out. With a growing number of children suffering from se- vere food allergies, including peanut allergies, consider a peanut-free treats bowl. • Be responsible with your child’s cos- tume. Makeup is more fun than a mask and allows for better visibility at night. Costumes should be easily seen in the dark, and should be short enough to avoid tripping hazards. • Plan your route ahead of time. Have your child help plan your route before you step out the door. • Revisit the rules of the road. With all of the excitement, it’s easy to forget to look left and right before crossing the street. Halloween is no doubt an exciting time in a child’s life. Be sure to keep these tips on hand to ensure a safe night of ghoulish fun for everyone! Keep safety in mind this Halloween 637 KINGSTON RD.

The type of paint you use can dramati- cally affect the results, says PARA Paints, offering this “Painting 101” review: Latex or oil? There are essentially two categories of paint: latex (acrylic or emulsion) and alkyd (oil). Water-based latex paints are increasingly preferred because they clean up easily with soap and water and are more environmen- tally friendly than alkyds. They’re also durable, create very little odour, are less likely to grow mildew, and adhere to almost any surface. Oil-based paints remain your best choice for repainting surfaces already covered in four or more layers of alkyd paint, or any exte- rior surface that has heavy chalking. Sheen: The most common finishes (from highest to lowest gloss), are gloss, semi-gloss, pearl, eggshell (satin), vel- vet, and flat. Semi-gloss and gloss finishes, known for their durability and shine, are used in high traffic areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, and on fingerprint and grime-collecting places like doors, baseboards and banisters. Eggshell paint has less lustre than a semi-gloss, yet more shine than a flat, and is the most common finish for halls and bedrooms. Flat paints are non-re- flective, ideal for ceilings, and hiding imperfections. Specialty paints: There are many paints designed for special purposes. Some paints, for example, are formu- lated to resist mildew in rooms where steam and moisture build-up is a factor, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Oth- ers are created with superior adhesion qualities, making them ideal for paint- ing over trim, cupboards, furniture and ceramic tiles. There are even flat paints, engineered to provide the same stain re- sistance and durability associated with high gloss paints, for use in high traffic rooms where you may prefer a duller finish. Primers: Primers come in many forms, so it’s important to pick the right one for your job. Like paint, primers are either alkyd (oil) or water-based. Some are formulated to resist mildew while others are designed to seal porous or chalky surfaces. There are even primers with super-adherent qualities to cover previ- ously-enamelled or varnished surfaces, and others have anti-rust inhibitors to cover and add protection to steel or iron.

Notre Dame remains undefeated in LOSSA ‘AAAA’ play with big win over Austin By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cou- gars served notice: the west is cur- rently best where Durham Region senior girls’ basketball is con- cerned. The undefeated Cougars faced the top team in the East Division, the Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School Wildcats, at the north Whitby school on Wednes- day afternoon in what could be a preview of the Lake Ontario Sec- ondary School Athletics (LOSSA) ‘AAAA’ senior girls’ final. In a fast-paced, physically played contest that featured plenty of pitched battles under the bas- kets, the pivotal regular-season cross-over contest went to Notre Dame, 42-31, pushing the Cou- gars’ LOSSA record to a sterling 8-0. For the Wildcats, it was the sec- ond consecutive league defeat after losing to the Pickering High School Trojans in another cross- over contest on Monday. As has been the case so often this season, the Cougars’ talented -- and tall -- front court of centre Nicholle McKenzie, power forward Rhea Pascal and small forward Shanica Baker proved too formi- dable for the Wildcats to contain. Of note, the Notre Damers enjoyed a large advantage in rebounding at both ends of the floor. More- over, the rebounding prowess of the Cougars meant few second- chance scoring opportunities for the Wildcats. That stated, however, Wildcats’ coach Heather LaFontaine was de- lighted with the work of her play- ers, although they came up short on the scoreboard. “I was really pleased with our effort. Defensively, we put a great effort forth. They’re a bigger team than we are. If we could have put the ball in the basket from two feet away we would have won. I’m pleased with the way we moved the ball and the way we played defence,” noted LaFontaine of her Wildcats, which fell to 6-2 in LOSSA league play. As for labelling the game a pre- view of the LOSSA final, LaFon- taine noted she and her Wildcats hope they’ll get the chance to meet Notre Dame with a title on the line. “We hope so, but there are a lot of teams to get through to get to the LOSSA final,” she said. Notre Dame coach Rose Booker noted her players were definite- ly up for this contest, one they viewed as a statement game in the run-up to the playoffs. “Yes, it was West 1 vs. East 1. We’ve been waiting for this game and it was a great game,” she said. Although she wasn’t particular- ly pleased with the Cougars’ start in the contest, saying she expected a much better first quarter from her charges, they did shake off the first-quarter rust to play well the rest of the way. She noted the key to victory was the work of McKenzie and Pascal in the post, praising Pascal for her ability to out-battle the Wildcats on the defensive boards all game. “Rhea was huge on the boards. They didn’t get any second-shot opportunities, which makes our defence go much smoother,” Booker explained. She also pointed out the work of guards Catherine Bougoulias and Lindsay Panchan was effective in getting the offence into a rhythm while feeding the post players from the perimeter. Austin sprinted out to the early lead in Wednesday’s game, with back-to-back three-point field goals by Kate Mowat putting the Wildcats in front 8-3 with 3:08 re- maining in the first quarter. Notre Dame called a time-out, which seemed to settle down the Cou- gars. By the end of the quarter, the Cougars had cut the deficit to two points, trailing 10-8. The Cougars began to get their inside game in gear in the second quarter, extinguishing a scant 16- 15 Wildcats’ lead midway through the quarter and turning it into a six-point Notre Dame advantage (22-16) at half time. Notre Dame continued to pull away in the third quarter, lead- ing 34-22, and was never seriously threatened in the final quarter. McKenzie led the Cougars with 23 points, followed by Pascal with 15. Mowat had 15 for Austin. Cougars win basketball battle with Wildcats Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Father Leo J. Austin Wildcats’ Ashley Navarro, right, attempts to stay a step ahead while playing defence on Notre Dame Cougars’ guard Catherine Bougoulias as she slashes toward the net. The two top senior girls’ ‘AAAA’ basketball teams squared off in the cross-over Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) league game at the Whitby school on Wednesday afternoon. Notre Dame won 42-31. Notes from the hardwood The Notre Dame Cougars senior girls’ team brought back their third tournament title of the season after winning the SBA Tournament championship at Scarborough’s Centennial College last weekend. The Cougars defeated Pope John Paul II school from Scarbor- ough 49-48 in a tight final. Rhea Pascal led the way with 19 points. The 12-team tournament, says coach Rose Booker, provid- ed the Cougars a chance to play several Scarborough squads. This weekend, the Cougars will participate in a tournament in Brampton. There, Notre Dame is expected to compete against several ranked teams in the province. The Cougars will participate in Brampton, however, without the services of forward and top rebounder Pascal, who’ll miss the event due to basketball commit- ments in the U.S. The Cougars enter the weekend with an overall mark of 25-1. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 28 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 26, 2007 By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Artists are coming to Port Perry from all over Durham Region and beyond for the third annual Showcase of the Arts early in November. The third annual event, held by the Scugog Council for the Arts in conjunction with the Township of Scugog, will feature 32 artists, including many from Scugog, and others from Oshawa, Ajax, Whitby and further afield. “We have a potter from Peter- borough, a painter from Trenton and a jeweler from North York,” said SCA’s Karen Richardson, add- ing all are members of SCA. “You don’t have to live in Scugog to support the arts in Scugog.” Kirsty Naray, Leanne Ryan- Jordan and Goguen (aka Sandra Mackenzie) all exemplify that statement. Naray has lived in Ajax for 17 years and worked in glass for 35 years. “I’ve been doing my bead work for 13 years,” said the artist who makes custom jewelry with hand- made glass beads and hand-made silver chains. She took up stained glass, made architectural stained glass win- dows and then, while making ka- leidoscopes, discovered the joys of melting glass. “I was actually the third person in Canada to do this work,” she said. “I sit in front of an oxygen tank. I sculpt with molten glass. Everyone is different. I add things or take away so every piece is dif- ferent.” In Brooklin, Ryan-Jordan creates functional pottery in her home studio. A graduated of the Ontario College of Art, she specialized in ceramics at the school. “I just really took to it,” she said. Now, she creates a range of items inspired by Japanese pot- tery -- teapots and cups for green tea, rice bowls, sushi platters and more. She looks for inspiration in nature, with her glaze colours of green, brown and blue. Most of her pottery is done on the wheel, although she does use a slab roll- er and pottery moulds for some pieces. She makes her own glaz- es, mixing the raw ingredients in buckets. When she sits down at the wheel, she knows what’s going to come out of the lump of clay. “I usually do a drawing first. I do little sketches,” she said. Goguen works in oil to create still life commissioned portraits. “I’ve always been an artist,” the Oshawa resident said. “I’ve oil painted since I was 9 but I did photography full time for 17 years. Now I’ve switched. I paint por- traits and still life.” It was the digital world that sent her back to an older art form, oil paints. She took black-and-white photographs and painted on them, but the special paper she used is no longer available, as digi- tal photography has taken off. She learned oil painting from her mom and remembers painting The Beatles and portraits of fellow classmates at school. She paints in the old masters’ style, a very structured and time-consuming method. But she enjoys it. Her photography still comes into play. After creating a still life scene and before painting it, she takes photos of it, only painting the scene if it makes a photo she’d frame, she said. Scugog photographer Jonathan van Bilsen, who travels around the world to get his fine art pho- tographs, will be showcasing his photography at the event. “I’m extremely pleased that I was invited to participate,” he said. “I’ve been trying to sell photogra- phy as an art form.” These artists show the range of artists and works at the show, Richardson said. The three inde- pendent jurors chose a wide vari- ety of mediums for the show, she said. And half of the artists are new to the show, she added. At the opening reception on Nov. 2, SCA will present its first Community in the Arts awards, honouring the Business for the Arts, Kent Farndale Patron of the Arts, Artist for the Arts and New Artist in the Community. The Showcase for the Arts is at the Scugog Community Centre, Reach Road, Nov. 2 from 7 to 9 p.m., Nov. 3 and 4 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission for the Nov. 2 opening reception is $10, $5 for SCA members. That cost includes a weekend pass. Admission for Nov. 3 and 4 is $4 per day, $3 for SCA members. To reserve tickets for Nov. 2, contact SCA at info@scugogarts. com or call 905-985-7418.

Crone in foursome taking on ‘The Foursome’ for good cause News Advertiser columnist, ‘Little Mosque’ actor in play reading DURHAM — Neil Crone and his buddies will be in Uxbridge Nov. 3 to help raise funds for The AhMen Proj- ect. Crone, actor, come- dian and a columnist for Metroland Durham Region Media Group, and fellow actors/comedians Jonathan Potts, Kevin Frank and Jef- frey Knight will do a play reading of Norm Foster’s ‘The Foursome’ for Motley Theatre Company at the Ux- bridge Music Hall. Anna MacKay-Smith said she has resurrected Motley Theatre for this one night to raise money for her latest project, a follow up to last year’s The MOM Project, which featured true-life sto- ries about women written by women in Durham. AhMen, to be staged in late March and early April 2008, will be true-life sto- ries of men written by local women. She ran Motley Theatre for about eight years in Uxbridge, bringing in top- name actors, including Dur- ham’s own Kenneth Welsh, to read plays. When looking for a way to raise money for AhMen, she said people who missed the readings persuaded her to try it again. The Nov. 3 event will feature the four men read- ing the play, about four friends reuniting on the golf course. Tickets are $20 and avail- able at Blue Heron Books in Uxbridge. There will also be a si- lent auction of gifts for guys (cash and cheques only). Doors open at 7 p.m. for the auction, with the read- ing starting at 8 p.m. Here’s a suggestion: go see the Amazing Kreskin DURHAM — The Amaz- ing Kreskin is coming to Whitby.

By his teens, he was known as the World’s Youngest Hypnotist and took part in clinical stud- ies in parapsychology. He’s appeared on countless TV programs, in commercials, in films and has been seen on CNN each New Year’s day with his predictions for the last 11 years.

Calvin (Wade) Burton May 11, 1981 - October 26, 2006 They say there is no reason They say that time will heal. But neither time nor reason Can change the way we feel.

Brennan Poderzay recorded his second victory in a row since joining the team last week, putting forth a strong outing in a 4-1 victory over the neighbouring rival Ajax Attack in Ajax on Sunday afternoon. The lone goal that beat Poderzay came on a 5-on-3 advantage for the Attack in the second period. En route to the win, he turned aside 23 shots for the Panthers. Poderzay notes he continues to gain confidence and become more comfortable in the Pickering net after each outing and Sunday was no exception. “When you’re playing, you want to get to every shot. When the puck hits you early, you get in the groove and your confidence begins to build. The team is playing so well defensively in front of you that it’s fun to play your position,” says Poderzay who came over to the Panthers from the Au- rora Tigers of the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League’s North Confer- ence for future considerations. The deal was made after Panthers’ management de- cided to move in a different direction from its season-opening goaltending tandem of Connor Sampson and Ben Calma, who were released. Joining Poderzay in goal for Pickering is former University of Toronto Varsity Blues men’s hockey goaltender Terrance Reid. Poderzay admitted it was a shock to be traded from Aurora to Pickering, but the fact former Aurora assistant coach Mark Joslin was at the helm of the Panthers cer- tainly softened the blow. “It definitely was (a shock), a bolt out of the blue,” says Poderzay of winding up with the Panthers. “At the beginning of the season I put pressure on myself because I was playing on the No. 1 team (Aurora Ti- gers) ranked in all of Canada. But, I knew (Panthers’ head) coach (Mark) Joslin was here, I knew what kind of guy he was. The (Panthers’) organization has been great.” For its part, the Panthers are glad to have Poderzay on board as he’s been a steadying influence at the goaltender posi- tion, which has been a cause for concern in the early going of the regular season. “Brennan Poderzay has come in and done a great job for us,” says Joslin. “We have a great deal of confidence in him.” Prior to joining Aurora this season, Poderzay had played against Aurora while playing for the Soo Michigan Indians, last season’s Northern Ontario Hockey League champions, which were beaten by Aurora at the Dudley Hewitt Cup. Although he’s played the last three Pickering games, Poderzay is reluctant to anoint himself as the starting puckstopper, noting his goaltender partner Reid is also a formidable goaltender and will push him to improve. “He’s a great goaltender. He’s very agile and very quick. He’s a great guy with a great work ethic, so it makes it easy to work your rear end off at practice.” So far, he’s extremely pleased to be get- ting the chance to play a lot. “Definitely. It’s a team sport, but every time you get the chance to play, you live for that.” As an American who grew up in Tower, a town of about 400 people located one-and- a-half hour’s drive north of Duluth, Min- nesota, Poderzay is getting accustomed to living in the GTA. He’s currently billeted in Pickering with the Trail family where Panthers’ assistant captain and second-year forward Jamie MacQueen also resides. “It’s easy to live there with a guy who has the same work ethic as you,” he says of his teammate, adding the two watch NHL hockey on a nightly basis. After this season, Poderzay says he hopes to land a NCAA Division 1 hockey scholarship in the U.S. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo One of the Pickering Panthers’ newest player acquisitions is goalie Brennan Poderzay, who came over in a trade with the Aurora Tigers for future considerations. The native of Tower, Minnesota is happy to be putting on the pads with the Panthers. Six candidates currently in the mix: GM Tugnutt AJAX — The Ajax Attack’s search for a new head coach is proceeding with cau- tion, notes the team’s general manager. Attack GM John Tugnutt says he’s re- ceived about six responses for the position with the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League squad, and he’ll be talking with several candidates this week. But, Tugnutt says he refuses to rush the process, noting it’s important to get a right head coach for the long haul. “There is no timetable, but I’d like to get someone in as quickly as possible. At the same time, we do want the right person. We want to make sure we don’t have a revolv- ing door of coaches,” says Tugnutt after the Attack’s loss to the Pickering Panthers on Sunday after- noon. Tugnutt did acknowledge the team does have a “couple of good candi- dates” in mind for the position. The head coaching job became available after the Attack parted ways with former head coach John Winder last week. Both parties state “issues” were at the heart of Winder’s sudden departure from the squad, with which he won a league coach- of-the-year award last season. On an interim basis, Attack assistant coaches Trevor Nkiwane and TJ Hill are sharing the head coaching position. Since Winder’s departure, the Attack are 0-2 with consecutive losses to the Dixie Beehives, 6-2 in Toronto last Wednesday, and 4-1 to the Panthers on home ice on Sunday.

And, by all accounts, the day was a sweeping success. Jennifer McGhee organized the beginners’ session in the morn- ing with 48 beginners and 18 in- structor/helpers on the ice. The afternoon was reserved for an advanced clinic for those curl- ers wanting to learn more about strategy and improve their deliv- ery. Joan O’Leary and Dave Hutchi- son co-ordinated this clinic for the 34 advanced curlers. A total of eight instructors lent a hand on the ice. ••• The Little Rock Bonspiel for young curlers will be contested at Annandale on Saturday, Nov. 3. Bonspiel convener April Risto hopes for a full draw of 16 teams again this year. The ’spiel is for any combina- tion of boys or girls 12 years of age and under, with a maximum of 42 years in age total per team. The competition includes two six-end games, snacks, lunch, and prizes for all. ••• Toronto is to host some of the world’s best curling teams in a pre-Olympic tournament at the Air Canada Centre in October, 2009. It will feature the top four men’s teams entered in the Canadian Olympic trial, along with nine international teams that will have already qualified for the 2010 Olympic games. The competition is held two months before the Canadian Curling Trials and four months prior to the Vancouver/Whistler Olympics. Prize money is antici- pated to be in the $100,000 to $200,000 range. It will be the biggest curling event in Toronto since the 1986 Men’s World Championship at the exhibition. ••• The OCA Senior Men’s zone playdown is at Annandale from Nov. 16 to 18. Annandale has two entries in the competition. Gord Norton will skip the team of Warren Leslie at vice, Alex Bi- anchi playing second, and Mike Trudeau at lead. The other entry is skipped by Bert Durand assisted by Carl Vickers at vice, Dave Gaudette at second, and David Wake playing lead. Two teams will advance from the double knock-out event and head to the regionals at the Weston Golf club on Dec. 1 and 2.

The Titans would then score 31 unanswered points for the convincing win. The three touchdown dif- ference was, in part, due to the fact that Brock’s tandem of Jesse Sale and Ryley Flindall were not in uniform. Kema Nnawuchi led the Titans’ come-from-behind victory with two touchdowns. Port Perry 51, Courtice 0 The Port Perry Rebels dominated the Courtice Cougars with a 50- plus point offensive outburst. Grade 10 phenom Matt Townsend led the way with four touchdowns and three interceptions. The victory clinched the division title for Port Perry (its first since 1973) and the Rebels will make their first appearance in the ‘A’ pool playdowns since 1974. Meanwhile, the winless Cougars are left with a must-win situation in Week 6 (against Holy Trinity) as a loss will eliminate them from the ‘B’ pool playoffs. Uxbridge 10, Richardson 7 The Uxbridge Tigers have now won three in a row after dropping their first two games this season and can still catch Notre Dame for the second and final ‘A’ pool berth in the Mazza Division. The Tigers close out the sixth and final week against Notre Dame. The loss by Richardson was their third of the season and they will settle for the ‘B’ pool playdowns. The game was called with just over six minutes remaining after a serious altercation among several members of both teams on the field. Pickering 9, Dunbarton 9 With the tie, the Dunbarton has secured an ‘A’ pool playoff position while the defending champion Trojans find themselves one point ahead of Pine Ridge for the final Powers Division qualifying position with a game remaining. Dunbarton QB Tyler Booth scrambled 50-plus yards for the opening major, however he sustained an injury and did not return. The teams exchanged safety touches and the Trojans, deep in Spartan territory numerous times, finally scored the game- tying touchdown on an interception return by Jordan Birch with seven minutes left. The game-tying convert barely cleared the uprights. Pine Ridge 16, St. Mary 13 The Pine Ridge Pumas kept their ‘A’ pool hopes alive with a 16-13 squeaker over the winless St. Mary Monarchs. Pine Ridge must now defeat league-leading Wilson in the final week and have St. Mary upend Pickering to secure the fourth and final Powers Division ‘A’ pool playoff berth. The Monarchs were able to take some solace in the fact that they finally scored points after being shutout in each of their first four games this year. St. Mary must win against Pickering next week or they will fail to qualify for the senior playoffs for the first time since joining the senior LOSSA program in 1999. Eastdale 37, Ajax 0 The Eastdale Eagles continue to impress as they picked up their fourth win in five games this season to secure the Mazza Division title. They are the only team this year that have not given up at least 20 points in a game. With one game left to play, Notre Dame could tie them, however the Eagles hold the tie breaker advantage having beat Notre Dame earlier in the season. Ajax saw their modest one- game winning streak come to an end. Unless Courtice or St. Mary win their first game of the season next week, they will advance to the ‘B’ pool playoffs. Notre Dame 15, Sinclair 12 With their ‘A’ playoff pool hopes on the line, the Sinclair Celtics would post the first two touchdowns of the game as they took a 12-0 first-quarter lead. The Cougars, however, with a chance to still catch the Eastdale Eagles would then post all the scoring for the remainder of the game to tally a 15-12 victory. The offensive star for the Cougars once again was Dave Delgado who posted both Cougar touchdowns. The win means that Eastdale and Notre Dame share first place with identical 4-1 records in the Mazza division entering the last week of play. Bowmanville 21, Clarington 1 The Talons, who only managed to score one point in their first three games of the season (all losses) have now turned their season around with back-to-back victories over Courtice and Clarington, while allow- ing only one point against and posting 55. Bowmanville has assured itself of a ‘B’ pool playoff berth with the two victories.Clarington with the loss drops to a record of 1-4 and they occupy the last playoff spot in the ‘B’ pool. A win against division-leader Port Perry will guarantee a playoff berth otherwise they must get help from Pickering who meets St. Mary. Wilson 31, Dwyer 1 The Gators employing a steady diet of Rashad La Touche and Jamal Darius, who combined for 25 of the 31 points, dominated the Paul Dwyer Saints who played without the services of running back Byron Lott. The Wilson offensive line continually opened big holes for their dynamic twosome making the previously unbeaten Saints look very ordinary. The Wilson defence picked off three James Duignan passes as the lack of a running game forced the Saints to go heavily with the passing game. A couple of easily catchable dropped passes did not help the Saint cause as they suffered their worst margin of defeat in at least five years.
