Veterans recount past with 8th Pickering Scouts By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Members of the 8th Pickering Scouts, Cubs and Beavers went back in time on Mon- day, courtesy of veterans with the South Pickering Seniors’ Club. A half-dozen veterans came to speak to the troop mem- bers, talking about their experiences during the Second World War and to answer questions. Andrew Philip Gout- hro, six, enjoyed having the veterans at the meeting. “Yeah, because it’s all about wars.” He “learned about boats. Some are big and some are small and wide.” Andrew Philip, a Beaver, was im- pressed the sailors slept in ham- mocks. When asked if he would like to be in the army, Andrew Philip said, “No. I like shooting. I just don’t like hurting people.” Pat Tranquada enjoyed speaking to the youngsters, saying it’s “very gratifying. They had some good questions. I use to be an old Boy Scout in my day.” Ken Allen also liked it. “I enjoy it. I always do.” Mr. Allen was 17-and-a-half when he joined the RAF, lying about his age so he could join. “I was a wild little devil.” He spent the war as a tail gunner, at one point being wounded in the shoulder. Honouring those who didn’t make it through the war is why he speaks to youths, he told some Scouts. “It’s why I’m here today, to re- member those poor souls who aren’t with us. I don’t like to talk about the war. I like to talk about the fu- ture,” Mr. Allen stated. At one point, a Scout noted his uncle is about to be stationed in Afghanistan. Mr. Allen said, “I’ll say a prayer for him.” When asked if he took part in any other wars, Mr. Allen said, “No, one was enough.” The youths were interested in the medals the men wore and asked questions about if they had been shot or had shot anyone. Bill Wright had on a medal he received from the Dutch govern- ment for his part in the liberation of Holland.

The first incident occurred on Aug. 2, around 4 p.m. when a 56-year-old woman reported seeing a man on three separate occasions exposing himself near David Farr Memorial Park. On two occasions, he was seen exposing himself and performing an indecent act. On the third occasion, he was seen watching children in the playground. The second report was on Oct. 5, when a 14-year-old female walking alone on a bike path was approached by a male, who offered her money in exchange for a sexual act. The girl re- fused and ran away. This happened at about 4 p.m. near Forestbrook Park. On Nov. 1 at approximately 1:30 p.m., a 30-year-old female reported being offered money by a suspect while walking in the area of Pine Creek Park. When the victim said no, the suspect touched her inappropri- ately. She then fled the area. In all three incidents, the victims described the suspect as male, dark skinned, five-foot three-inches (160 cm) to five-feet eight-inches (173 cm) tall, 45 to 50 years of age, thin to me- dium build, having a moustache or beard with a very heavy accent. Investigators believe there may be other victims who have not yet contacted police. Anyone with in- formation regarding these or similar incidents is asked to contact Detec- tive Constable Beth Richardson at 905-683-9100, ext. 2530 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

But the Supreme Court of Canada de- clined to enter acquittals for Marco and Anisa Trotta, saying it would be inappro- priate “because a properly instructed jury, acting reasonably,” might still find the cou- ple guilty of “the homicide-related offences based on the remaining evidence.” The high court said Dr. Smith’s evidence, which the Crown concedes is “unreliable,” was central to the prosecution’s murder case against the couple. Crown lawyers had argued at trial Marco Trotta killed his 8- month-old son Paulo, and that Anisa cov- ered up for him. At the time of the infant’s death in 1993, an Oshawa-area pathologist said the cause of Paulo’s death was “undetermined” but possibly related to sudden infant death syn- drome. It was only after the couple’s second son, Marco Jr., was brought to hospital with a broken thigh bone that authorities ordered Paulo’s body exhumed and sent to Dr. Smith for another analysis, which led to charges being laid. Marco Trotta pleaded not guilty to counts of second-degree murder, assault and en- dangering life by committing aggravated as- sault. He was convicted on all charges in June 1998 and sentenced to life with no chance of parole for 15 years. Anisa Trotta pleaded not guilty to man- slaughter, criminal negligence and failing to provide the necessities of life. She was convicted on the latter two charges and sen- tenced to five years. Marco served nine years of his sentence before being released on bail last spring pending the Supreme Court’s review of his case. Because new trials have been ordered for the two, Thursday’s ruling did not go into a detailed review of what other evidence might provide the basis for a conviction by a “properly instructed jury.” In June 2005, Ontario’s chief coroner ex- pressed concern over Dr. Smith’s findings in several criminal cases and ordered an inde- pendent review of 45 autopsies dating back to 1991. That review ultimately disagreed with Dr. Smith’s conclusions in 13 cases where peo- ple were convicted of criminal offences. -- with files from Torstar News Service SAVE $400 SAVE $600 SAVE $800 SAVE $600 ELLIPTICALS Bremshey Orbit Pacer SALE PRICE $59999 our reg. price $89999 SAVE $300 Lamar 84a SALE PRICE $79999 our reg. price $109999 SAVE $300 Horizon EX-75 SALE PRICE $89999 our reg. price $129999 SAVE $400 Life Fitness X1 SALE PRICE $169998 our reg.price $229998 SAVE $600 SAVE HOME GYMS Hoist V1 SALE PRICE $99999 our reg. price $139999 SAVE $400 Life Fitness CM3 SALE PRICE $129999 our reg. price $149999 SAVE $200 Hoist V3 SALE PRICE $149999 our reg. price $199999 SAVE $500 Life Fitness GS4 SALE PRICE $159999 our reg. price $199999 SAVE $400 Life Fitness GS2 SALE PRICE $89999 our reg. price $119999 SAVE $300 EXERCISE BIKES SAVE $150 SAVE $200 SAVE $300 SAVE $300 Bremshey Ambition Upright SALE PRICE $19999 our reg.price $39999 SAVE $200 ACCESSORIES SAVE 25% 1/2 PRICE SAVE 75% H ALF PRICE TREADMILLS off our reg. price SAVE 20% off our reg. price Heart Rate Monitors Track Your Improvements Large Selection Heavy Boxing Bags Heavy Training Bags Leather or vinyl Stability Balls -75cm NOW $699 our reg. price $2999 Jute Yoga Mats NOW $1749 our reg. price $3499 Lamar S72r Recumbent SALE PRICE $49999 our reg. price $79999 Bremshey Control Upright SALE PRICE $39999 our reg. price $59999 Lamar 62B Upright SALE PRICE $34999 our reg. price $49999 $300 WE GUARANTEE THE LOWEST PRICES IN CANADA.† HAMILTON Meadowlands Power Centre (905) 304-5919 NEWMARKET 17480 Yonge St. (905) 836-7618 THORNHILL 109 Doncaster Rd.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, November 9, 2007 PAGE 3 A/Pdurhamregion.com Accused child killers to get new trial DURHAM — Veterans will get a free ride on Regional buses Sunday. In honour of veterans, Durham Region Transit (DRT) is providing free conventional transit service to all veterans and soldiers in uniform and the family members accompa- nying them on Remembrance Day. “It is to honour the veterans and all of the good things that go along with that,” said Neil Killens, deputy general manager for DRT. “It is a common initiative that goes on in the transit industry as a whole.” The intent, he said, is to get people to and from Remembrance Day ceremonies across the region. Also, DRT will observe Remembrance Day with one minute of silence at 11:00 a.m., Nov. 11. “All the buses will pull over at the first available spot that is safe and observe the minute of silence,” Mr. Killens said. General Manager Ted Galinis explained prior to regionalizing transit services some local municipalities provided charter buses to veterans. That is no longer the practice. “In the old days of Ajax /Pickering transit we had a budget for that,” Mr. Galinis said. “Since (DRT’s) creation the free services that were budgeted for in the local municipali- ties have to be budgeted for locally.” This is to avoid disparities in service, with one municipality receiving an increased level of service that the rest of the region pays for through their taxes, he said. “If you gave one you would probably get a lot of requests,” Mr. Galinis said. “Part of our policy is we don’t give charters. The DRT way is to make sure it is uniform across the Region.” However veterans who require DRT’s spe- cialized service still benefit from the free service on Nov. 11.

He noted at one time, Allied troops were on one side of the Maas River (also known as the Meuse River) and “bullets were coming from the Gerry’s side. They were traceable bullets. It was cold and the ground was fro- zen and the bullet hit the ground and bounced off. “I was lucky. I was never wounded,” he said. “One of my friends was hit beside me, which wasn’t very nice.” Mr. Wright was 18 when he joined, although he worked “in a war plant for two years before I went in the army. I was 16. We had 12-hour shifts in a plant in Leaside. It’s almost like I was in the army for an extra two years.” When asked how close he got to Germans, Mr. Wright says the only ones he saw were dead. “Usually, they were all cleared out. The air force did a good job.” Claire Ormrod, 10, and a member of the 8th Pickering Cubs, said she enjoyed lis- tening to the veterans. “It’s really educational. We found out about the war. It was really cool,” Claire said. “I didn’t know a lot of stuff they talked about.” Claire said she wouldn’t want to join the army. “No, it’s too sad. I wouldn’t want to risk death.” Derek Reid-Wilkinson, Jason Munoz and Colin Goodrham are all members of the 8th Pickering Scouts. It was “really interesting to see what they did, to hear about all the stuff they did,” Derek said. “It was pretty interesting most of these guys were pi- lots.” Colin added. What the men went through was “good for our country. It’s pretty cool they did all this for our country,” Derek noted. “It’s really hard to imagine what they had to go through.” “It’s very good they came in to talk to us,” said Jason. Jason visited Vimy Ridge in the summer. “I had two great uncles who died in Vimy, to try to get France back.” Their names were Albert Pittman and Ernest Pittman. Pickering man among those arrested in Ajax incident AJAX — Two men, in- cluding a Pickering resi- dent, face a series of charges following a home invasion robbery in north Ajax on Tuesday. The incident occurred just before noon on Nov. 6 when two men, one armed with a hammer, barged into a home on MacDermott Drive, in the Rossland Road and Church Street area, de- manding money, drugs and guns. The men fled when one of the three people in- side the home managed to escape and ran to a nearby home to call 911. The two men then fled the home. Shortly before the 911 call, a Durham Regional Police uniformed officer on patrol saw two males walking on Rossland and noticed one wearing a mask. When the officer pulled over to speak with the men, they fled into a wooded area at the north- east corner of Church and Rossland. The canine unit, aided by uniformed officers and the Tactical Support Unit, tracked the suspects for more than an hour. Both were found and taken into custody with- out incident. A balaclava and hammer were recovered. Juan Guevara, 19, of Finch Avenue in Pickering, and James Cado- gan, 25, of Tobermory Drive in Toronto, have each been charged with three counts of robbery, three counts of forcible confinement, wear- ing a disguise with intent and possession of a danger- ous weapon. Both were held for a bail hearing. Police believe this inci- dent was not a random act and are continuing their in- vestigation. Anyone with more infor- mation can call Detective Alec Sirizzotti of the major crime - robbery unit at 905- 683-9100, ext. 5355. Anony- mous tips can be left with the Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Pair face raft of charges following home invasion Members of the Durham Regional Police Tactical Team and Canine Unit speak with the duty inspector near the corner of Rossland Road and Church Street shortly after a home-invasion robbery in the area. Two schools, Alexander Graham Bell, and Durham Christian, were locked down while police searched for the suspects. Two people have been arrested.

Following the service, around 11:30 a.m., the parade will return along Esplanade South back to the Pickering Recreation Complex. The parade members will salute a veteran who will be stationed on Esplanade South on their way back to the complex. ✦ Veterans from page 1 AJAX — Three peo- ple, including two Ajax residents, are facing charges in connection with a September shoot- ing. Police are still seek- ing a fourth suspect. On Sept. 16 at about 11:30 p.m., police re- sponded to the Shoal Point Road area of Ajax after reports of gunfire. One man was hospi- talized with gunshot wounds. Police laid 47 charges against three suspects and are still looking for one more man. Two suspects, a 17- year-old Ajax male and 20-year-old Malcolm Chalmers of Toronto each face three counts of discharging a firearm with intent, as well as charges of using a fire- arm to commit an of- fence. Police laid 21 other charges against the 17-year-old, 17 against Mr. Chalmers and nine against 20-year-old Christopher Jones of Edgley Court in Ajax. Among the charges the three face are aggra- vated assault, robbery, kidnapping while using a firearm, numerous weapons charges and failing to comply with the conditions of their probation. Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a fourth male who participated in the incident. He’s described as white, late teens to early 20s, 5-foot, 9-inch- es to six-foot tall with a thin build. Anyone with information can call Det.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, November 9, 2007 durhamregion.com LETTER TO THE EDITOR Take time to remember their sacrifice Remembrance Day honours our fallen troops The tragic events of the past year have made this Remem- brance Day reverberate with echoes from the distant and very recent past. For it was just a few short months ago that Trooper Darryl Caswell of Bowmanville was killed while serving in Afghani- stan. Sadly, Trooper Caswell was just one of the dozens of dead Canadian soldiers who returned from Afghanistan and made that last journey down Hwy. 401 from Canadian Forces Base Trenton to Toronto. That stretch of highway has fittingly been renamed the Highway of Heroes to recognize the ultimate sac- rifice paid by our troops in times of war. Our soldiers continue to do their utmost to help Afghans reclaim their country after decades of war and in the wake of Taliban domination. Our fighting men and women are in the vanguard in the 21st century battle against terrorism. To reach back further in time, this year marks the 90th an- niversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, when several thousand Canadian soldiers took a fortified German stronghold that had withstood repeated attacks from British and French soldiers. The First World War battle marked the first foreign engagement in which Canadian troops were commanded by Canadians and helped to mark Canada on the world stage. Many believe it was this event that forged a unique Canadian identity. There have been many battles and far too many casualties in various wars between Vimy Ridge and today. No matter the conflict, Canadian troops have earned the well-justified respect and admiration of countries around the world for their bravery, professionalism and valour. Each Nov. 11 we have the opportunity to take a minute of silence and bow our heads to think about all the women and men who answered their country’s call. It’s important that you take the time this Sunday to reflect on the country we are privi- leged to live in and the sacrifice made by many thousands of soldiers to protect the freedoms we take for granted today. It’s also vital to recall freedom is an ongoing struggle and our contributions in Afghanistan are every bit as valid and impor- tant as any other conflict we’ve ever fought in. Lest we forget. Hold holiday music until after Remembrance Day To the editor: It’s about the Christmas music in November! Last I checked Christmas was not in November. Why is it that I’m hearing Christmas music in retail stores? I was shopping Nov. 1 when I heard Santa Ho, Ho, Ho-ing and much mistletoe-ing. What was that? Hey retailers, how about a little RESPECT! Not all veterans are dead; (First World War, Second World War) what about all those who have loved ones overseas? Remembrance Day is Nov. 11, there is still loads of time (more than six weeks) to lure revenue into the retail coffers. As one who works in retail, it’s difficult enough to get consumers to observe a minute of silence without Jingle Bells blaring in the background. Might I strongly suggest to our retail corporations to hold off with their ‘Holiday’ music until after Nov. 11. Perhaps then you could intersperse Christmas carols into your Christmas music (oops, strike that) ‘holiday’ music. (That’s a whole other letter entirely). MaryAnn Medeiros Ajax Pickering Scouts get living history lesson Veterans recount war experiences T he kids are going to ask the ques- tions that are important to them -- Have you ever been shot? Did you ever shot anybody? What are the medals for? The veterans, who weren’t a lot older back then than the kids asking the ques- tions are now, went through harrowing situations, so these inquiries were easy. And, quite welcoming. The vets an- swered the questions in a straight-for- ward manner, no embellishment, just the facts. On Monday, about 60 members of the 8th Pickering Scouts, Cubs and Beavers welcomed to their meeting a half-dozen veterans with the South Pickering Se- niors’ Club. Some of the Scouts and Cubs wanted to know if any of the vets had driven or ridden in a tank. And, if they had ridden in a tank, did they wear body armour? The answer to that was no, just over- alls. The vets are always grateful to be invited to speak with youngsters, giving them a chance to talk about their expe- riences. They may not say it as such, but the youngsters really like it when the veterans come. The significance and meaning for Re- membrance Day may be lost on many youngsters. Not for a lack of caring, but simply the result of time. For the Scouts, Cubs and Beavers, their grandfathers may not have been old enough to fight in the war. For these youngsters, Remembrance Day has meaning. For others, not so much or none at all. Like the guy who was charged last year after Poppy boxes were stolen from a number of busi- nesses in the Ajax area. When stories appeared last year about the thefts, people were indignant. How could someone stoop so low was the general consensus. Folks stepped forward to make up for the lost money. Ivan Klyne, a member of the Ajax Royal Canadian Legion, says some young adults at the Starbucks outlet in Ajax decided amongst themselves to help and they turned over their tip money. Mr. Klyne said one employee apologized for the theft, although it wasn’t his fault or of anyone else work- ing there. Yet, a few days later, the Starbucks employees came forward with $35 to make up for the theft of the Poppy box. “I was impressed. The kid couldn’t be more than 20 years old. It’s an impres- sive thing to do that,” Mr. Klyne says. All the money from the Poppy drives goes to help veterans and their families, so it most certainly was impressive. The relative youth of the donors makes it all the more so. Keith Gilligan’s column appears every third Friday. E-mail kgilligan@durhamregion. com. Keith Gilligan staff writer Visit Vaughan Willard school Saturday By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com PICKERING — A six year old from Pickering is hoping to fill a stable for World Vision. Jaclyn Holdsworth is looking to raise $1,200, which is enough to buy a stable full of animals in a developing country. She’s already got $60, enough for two hens and a rooster. To achieve her goal, Jaclyn rented a booth at her school’s craft show at Vaughan Willard Public School in Pickering on Saturday. A bookmark with Jaclyn’s drawings will be given to those who donate and anyone who contributes more than $5 will get a greeting card. “I did some animals separate and mom put them all together under a stable. I used markers and mom used the computer,” said Jaclyn. Mom Brenda Holdsworth is a graphic de- signer. “Last year in place of Christmas gifts, we gave animals to each other for World Vision, so that sparked it in her,” said Ms. Hold- sworth. Still, even though mom helped, this is firmly Jaclyn’s project. “She’s going to be helping a little bit, but I’m going to do most of it,” said Jaclyn. And she’s determined to reach her goal, said mom. “We tried to get her to do a llama, which is only $350 ... but she’s determined she’s going to do a stable.” Ms. Holdsworth said her family partici- pates in fundraising because it’s a good way to help, even if you don’t have a lot of money.

The report by project consul- tants GENIVAR and Jacques Whit- ford was to be before the Region’s works committee in December. According to works communica- tions officer, Joanne Paquette, the meeting was postponed to allow consultants time to include feed- back from the public information sessions and incorporate public, government, and agency com- ments. Consultants balanced advantag- es and disadvantages of a short- list of sites for a proposed energy- from-waste facility that would pro- cess waste from York and Durham Regions. It was determined a site in Clarington, south of the 401 near Courtice Road, would be the best location to build such a facil- ity. The report will now be forward- ed to the Region’s works commit- tee and York’s solid waste commit- tee on Jan. 9, 2008. As a result, the December Joint Waste and Man- agement Group (JWMG) meeting has been rescheduled to Jan. 8, 2008. “It shouldn’t really effect the rest of it, everything else should stay on course,” Ms. Paquette said. Individuals interested in read- ing the consultant’s report, or obtaining additional informa- tion about the Durham/York Re- sidual Waste Study, are invited to download a copy from the study website at www.durhamy- orkwaste.ca, request a copy by calling 1-866-398-4423, e-mail info@durhamyorkwaste.ca, or re- view a printed copy in the Re- gional Clerk’s office, located in the Regional Municipality of Durham Headquarters, 605 Rossland Road East, Whitby. Marking Woman Abuse Awareness MonthIncineration report delayed Eighty per cent of families in school would have to support proposal By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The public school board is not interested in re-ex- amining the issue of uniforms for students. On Monday night, only two Dur- ham District School Board trust- ees -- Pickering’s Chris Braney and Sherry Croteau -- voted to re-open the issue. Last month, Trustee Braney re- quested information on the board’s uniform policy. Director of Education Craig Burch brought his report to the standing committee meeting, say- ing that school uniforms are cov- ered under the board’s dress-code regulation. “Even though this policy was amended a year ago, it hasn’t had a good look for about seven years,” said Mr. Burch, adding it was time to examine it if the board chose to do so. The regulation states extensive consultations would be necessary before a school implemented uni- forms and 80 per cent of the fami- lies in the school would have to vote in favour of it. Trustee Braney said he’s heard lots of support for looking at uni- forms. “Since bringing this forward, I’ve had numerous calls from par- ents,” said the trustee, who put for- ward a motion to begin the consul- tation process. Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hop- per expressed concerns about the section of the regulation that said families who chose not to attend their home school because of the dress code could apply to attend another school. In that case, the parents would be responsible for transportation to the school. Trust- ee Hopper pointed out that sec- ondary schools are far away from each other and that could present a financial burden. “We’re a publicly funded school system, if you don’t want to wear a uniform, you shouldn’t have to go to another school,” she said. In the end, there was no debate on the issue after the motion was put forward, with the rest of the board quickly and quietly defeating it. + FREE 179997 King Size $2399.97 pnslukgpk PS-3227P **TV may not be exactly as illustated PRICE GUARANTEE We will beat any competitor’s comparable offer on a comparableproduct by 10%.

In the suit, filed Tuesday, the board claims Paul MacGregor’s petition calling for disci- plinary action against Brooklin Village Pub- lic School principal Susan Reed impugns the principal’s reputation and that of the board and demands an apology and retraction. “The implications of the website are that Susan Reed is incompetent, lazy, stubborn, unfair, unreasonable, critical, rude and does not act in the best interests of her students and that the Durham District School Board is equally complicit in not removing her from her job as principal of said school,” the suit says. “These implications are false and defamatory.” The board also called on the court to order Mr. MacGregor to take the on-line peti- tion off the Internet and to cease publish- ing comments about the principal and the board. The lawsuit contains claims that have not been proven in court. Mr. MacGregor indi- cated his intention to fight it. “I earn $13 an hour as a factory worker and am willing to sell my house to pay for this countersuit,” he said. In an earlier interview, Mr. MacGregor said he’d approached his local trustee, John Dolstra, at the end of the last school year to express his frustration over several disagree- ments he’d had with Ms. Reed. He said Mr. Dolstra advised him to start a petition. Mr. Dolstra neither confirmed nor de- nied that claim; he would not comment further on the issue. The online petition listed a number of issues at the school and invited supporters to sign; several did, with some contributors, including parents and students at the school, adding comments. On Oct. 9 the board sent Mr. MacGregor a letter ordering him to discontinue the on- line petition and threatening legal action if he did not comply. Hey Kids It’s that time of year again.

Medications are for pain and sedation By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A kit con- taining serious medications was lost off the back of an ambulance sometime Mon- day, Nov. 5. The container of medi- cine was lost from one of the Durham Region Emergency Medical Services (EMS) am- bulances on Reach Street, between Port Perry and Ux- bridge. “The paramedics were checking over the back of the vehicle and they got a call,” said Glendene Collins, a communications repre- sentative with Durham’s health department. “They were responding to the call and as a result this contain- er was not properly secured back in the vehicle.” The medications in the lost container are for pain, sedation and severe allergic reactions. “The amount of medi- cations in the container is large enough to pose a danger or threat to life to anyone experimenting with them or to a young person who may not understand the purpose of the medi- cations,” explains Durham Region EMS Director Rich- ard Armstrong. “It is criti- cal that anyone finding this container notify Durham Regional Police Service im- mediately.” Health Department of- ficials are urging Durham Region residents to call an ambulance or seek imme- diate medical attention if they know of anyone who has taken any of the medi- cations. If you know of the whereabouts of the contain- er, contact Durham Region- al Police Service by calling 911. A similar kit was stolen from an ambulance back in May of 2000. It contained drugs for heart attacks, se- vere allergic reactions, dia- betes and asthma. According to Ms. Collins, that kit was never recov- ered. rrs TM Hours: Mon-Fri: 10-9, Sat:10-6, Sun:11-5 Floor Model SaleFloor Model Sale 18 HARWOOD AVE.

Ontario Energy Board Commission de l’énergie de l’Ontario Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. (“Enbridge”) filed an Application on September 28, 2007 (the “Application”) with the Ontario Energy Board (the “Board”) under section 36 of the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998, S.O. c.15, Sched. B, as amended, for an order of the Board approving the final balance in the 2007 Class Action Suit Deferral Account (“CASDA”) and the disposition of that balance. The balance in the CASDA as at August 1, 2007 was $23.7 million, plus interest of $0.7 million. The Board’s decision on this Application may have an affect on all of Enbridge’s customers. Enbridge has proposed to collect the full amount of the CASDA annually over the course of eight years from 2008 to 2015. If approved by the Board, the collection would result in an increase to a customer’s bill of about $1.90 per year per customer. How to See Enbridge’s Application Copies of the application are available for inspection at the Board’s office in Toronto and on its website, www.oeb.gov.on.ca, and at Enbridge’s office at the address indicated below.

PAC Foundation looking for donations, board members By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — As the baby boomer generation ages, care for the care- giver is becoming an increasingly hot topic. But those caring for elderly par- ents or spouses aren’t the only ones searching for a break -- in Durham hundreds of families struggle each year with caring for a loved one with a lifelong disability. “Respite isn’t just about seniors, this is about caring for people of any age who have a disability. Maybe it’s from a motor vehicle accident or maybe they have a disease like multiple dclerosis,” explains Peter Mundinger, chairman of the Person- al Attendant Care (PAC) Founda- tion. “In some cases, their caregivers are suffering from burnout and actu- ally becoming patients themselves. You wonder, how much can people take?” Mr. Mundinger says he has seen marriages break up, caregiv- ers struggling at work and children’s grades drop, because the family en- vironment is in disarray from the pressures of 24/7 caregiving. And it’s a strain on the person receiving care, as they worry about their loved ones. That’s where PAC comes in. The Durham-based agency has been providing assisted living and per- sonal care to physically challenged adults for more that 30 years. Servic- es include visitations, homemaking services and respite for caregivers. While PAC receives money from the Province, Mr. Mundinger says the need for respite is growing and with it the need for more funding. He founded the PAC Foundation in 2005 to meet that need, but says fundraising has been slow going be- cause so many people are unfamiliar with the concept of respite. The foundation is planning sev- eral events for 2008, including a golf tournament, Ride for Respite with the Durham Divas motorcycle club and a fundraising event at Class Act Dinner Theatre. They are also searching for new board members to help promote the need for respite care in Durham and raise the profile of the foundation. Contact Mr. Mundinger at 905-240- 4772. Donations to the PAC Founda- tion can be mailed to 655 Taylor Ave. in Oshawa, L1H 2E9.

Kirsten Schmidt-Cham- berlain, who has extensive experience working with marginalized communi- ties such as newcomers to Canada and low-income people in Toronto, looks forward to development. “It’s at a great point to really diversify,” she said. “Durham Region used to be predominantly white middle-class but the face of Durham has changed. My background lends it- self well to helping the agency get there as well.” Durham Hospice is a community-based vol- unteer organization that helps people with life- threatening illnesses live comfortably and assists their families with coping. Ms. Schmidt-Chamberlain said she was drawn to the focus that is placed on in- dividuals’ physical, mental and spiritual well-being. “It’s a really exciting op- portunity for me,” she said. “The board of directors is extremely committed and dedicated to the job.” Ms. Schmidt-Chamberlain joined the team after leav- ing the Fred Victor Cen- tre in Toronto where she worked for two years. “I love working with people and in a management po- sition, one has the abil- ity to inspire and mentor other staff,” she said. “I re- ally treasure the moments when you can watch other people shine.” Judge slams ‘vile, disgusting’ crimes By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A man who posed as a modelling agent to lure an Oshawa girl into a sexual encounter has been jailed for three years by a judge who called his actions “vile and disgusting.” In a ruling delivered Tuesday in Whitby Superior Court Justice Robert MacK- innon excoriated Devindra Dewkinandan of Missis- sauga, who was 24 when he lured and sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl in a sleazy motel room. “Your activities were sor- did and reprehensible in the extreme,” the judge told the slightly-built man. “You took advantage of a vulnerable victim; taking advantage of her youth and inexperience.” Mr. Dewkinandan, now 27, was found guilty after a trial in June of sexual as- sault, luring, making child pornography and posses- sion of child porn and drug charges in connection with the tryst, which occurred in January 2005. Jurors heard Mr. Dewki- nandan, who was working as an accountant at the time, met the teen on an Internet chat room and told her he was a modelling agent. He convinced her to meet with him under the pretext of conducting a photo shoot and took her to a cheap Os- hawa motel where he had her undress and then sexu- ally assaulted her. Mr. Dewkinandan cap- tured the encounter on a digital video camera; when Durham police went to his Dundix Road home with a search warrant a few months later, they found the video, leading to the child porn charges. In the room Mr. Dewki- nandan occupied in his par- ents’ house cops also found a substantial amount of marijuana, which resulted in charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking. The judge rejected a call by Mr. Dewkinandan’s lawyer for a term of house arrest, calling his actions a “morally reprehensible crime.” “You knew the victim’s age,” Justice MacKinnon said. “Your activity has a high moral blameworthiness to it.” Mr. Dewkinandan hugged his weeping mother before being led away by a court officer. In addition to his jail time, he’s been ordered to surrender a DNA sample and will be placed on the national Sex Offender Reg- istry for 20 years.

The Community and Conservation Star Award celebrates groups and in- dividuals who organize projects such as building community gardens, creating wildlife habitats, organiz- ing and hosting clean up days, etc. The CAW Durham Regional Environ- mental Council, nominated by Kerry Meydam, was the winner. The Council has promoted pesti- cide reduction strategies, producer take-back laws, water conservation and protection, safe renewable en- ergy solutions and has been involved in the community in many other ways that help the environment. The Youth Star Award celebrates the efforts of individuals under age 21 who show leadership and ini- tiative in greening projects. Kinzaa Younas, a Grade 9 student at J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate in Ajax, was honoured with the award. In Grade 8, she worked with a group of other students to look at the effects of global warming during Earth Week. After Earth Week, she approached the Mayor’s office to illustrate why the Town of Ajax needs an anti-idling bylaw. Younas was nominated by Kris Kernohan. The Business Leadership Star Award celebrates individuals or com- panies for positive action to develop or promote strategies or technologies to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, encourage energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources, or improve local air quality. Michael Angemeer, President and CEO of Ve- ridian Corporation, was the winner. Nominated by Wendy Kohler Boothman, Angemeer is involved with a number of projects that help the environment, including the Dur- ham Strategic Energy Alliance, which works toward the advancements of energy initiatives in the Durham Re- gion.

Whether you’re organizing a small dinner party or are inviting all of your family and friends to drop in for a holiday open house, the art of hosting can be a difficult one to master. Here are some simple tips to help you pull off a spectacular holiday party. Make lists and check them twice. List making will keep you sane, organized and on track so you have enough time to get everything done beforehand. Without them, you’ll find yourself run- ning out for last-minute items that you could easily have well in advance. Surprising Shortcuts. Create items you can prepare in advance. Determine what you can make from scratch but don’t be afraid to rely on pre-made Holiday hosting hints for a king or queen by combining regal burgundy and gold. Incorporate these colours into soft textures, such as velvet when looking for items such as tree skirts or stockings and accent using medieval jewels. Winter Cool - Bring the outside in by adding icy and metallic touches by placing metallic angels, snowflakes and wreaths into the home. Complete the shimmering winter look by adding subtle accent touches with royal blue and silver accessories.

The writers each began with the line, “I pulled back the thick, tangled vines of the jungle and triumphantly realized that I had finally found what I had been searching for!” How to Survive in the African Jungle By Victoria Element, Grade 2 First Place, Grade JK-3 Division and best of Contest I pulled back the thick, tangled vines of the jungle and triumphantly realized that I had finally found what I had been searching for! Silly me, I forgot to introduce myself! My name is professor Bugsworthy. “Hoo, Hoo.” And this is my owl, Hoot. Today we are in the jungle to find a very rare flower called the purple platypus flower. In fact, it is so rare there is only one in the whole world. But today we have finally found it! Well, anyway, I ran over to the flower and picked it. I was about to sniff it when, suddenly, a native from the ancient African Macunga tribe swiped it out of my hand! “After that Macunga!” I cried. So off we went, dashing through the jungle. I was running and Hoot was soaring at my side. All of a sudden, we ran into some fierce tigers that wanted to eat Hoot and I. I had to think of something, and fast! I found myself singing a lullaby tune you might be familiar with: Rock-a-bye kitties, Cuddly and sweet. When you wake up You’ll have something to eat. May I give you this request? That you take a brief little rest. Soon the tigers were asleep. We didn’t want to waste the chance to get away so we quietly tiptoed past. “Phew, that was close!” I said. Off we went again, streaming through the jungle as fast as we could go. Suddenly, we came to a swamp with snapping crocodiles. I had to think of something lickety-split again. That’s when I remembered the extra pepper- oni from my pizza at lunch. I grabbed it out of my lunch bag and threw it in the swamp. It distracted the crocodiles long enough to get away. I looked at my watch. It was 5 p.m. I had to find the purple platypus flower by 6 p.m. so I could get home to Ajax before 11 p.m. to go to bed! I started running so fast that both my crocs flipped off. Suddenly, a colony of red ants appeared at my feet. My crocs had landed on the other side. The problem was that I couldn’t step over the ants and I couldn’t go around them. That’s when I found myself high off the ground. Hoot had grabbed my vest with his claws and was flying across the ant colony. “Thanks, Hoot!” I said. I started running faster than I ever have be- fore. All of a sudden we caught a glimpse of the native swinging on a vine. I grabbed a vine and started swinging too. When we finally caught up with the native, I had come up with a plan. I tickled his stomach and he let go of the flower. “Oh no!” I said. “The flower’s falling!” Hoot dove down and caught it. “Good boy!” I said. “Hoot, we did it! We go the purple platypus flower!” And that’s how we got it back. That was a very exciting adventure, don’t you think? The Lost Tomb By Rebecca Briell, Grade 5 First Place, Grade 4-6 Division I pulled back the thick, tangled vines of the jungle and triumphantly realized that I had finally found what I had been searching for! Wait, I’m getting a bit ahead of myself. It started on book day at the bookstore. I was walking past tables of books to the cash to purchase a mystery book when I overheard a woman telling a story about a lost tomb. According to the story, there was a magical ruby hid- den in the tomb. It could bring to life one’s greatest wishes. Many peo- ple tried to get the ruby, but no one did. They did not make it past the monster that guarded the tomb. A map had been dawn leading to the tomb, but the ruby had never been retrieved. I thought about the story and the ruby. I knew my greatest wish. My sister was very ill. The doctors knew no cure. My greatest wish was that she could be helped. I decided to ask the woman about the ruby. I told her why I wanted to find it. She told me to come back to her table when the book fair was over and she would explain. Finally, it was time to find out the truth about the lost tomb. I headed toward the woman’s table. She looked happy to see me. She told me that the story was true. The ruby existed and no one had found it. The woman said she had a map that a strange man had given her and she gave it to me. I set off the next day with the map. It was a difficult journey. The days were hot and the nights were cold. There were lots of riv- ers and streams. I saw a jungle ahead. Was this the jungle that concealed the tomb? Suddenly something brown and furry jumped on me. It was a monkey! The monkey jumped on my head and covered my eyes. When it was gone, I realized that was not the only thing gone. The monkey had stolen my map! I decided I would just keep going without the map. There were lots of vines block- ing my view, but I thought I could see some type of structure. It was a tomb! I had found the lost tomb! A terrifying monster guarded the tomb. It was a snake! The snake asked why I wanted the ruby. I told the snake that my sister was ill and I wanted to heal her. When the snake heard this, it let me by. I asked why it didn’t kill me. It said that it was because I wanted the ruby for some- one else, not myself. Everyone else wanted it for selfish reasons. I got the ruby and hurried home. When I got home, I went to my room and made my wish. Then I went to my sister’s room. She was out of bed and looked much better. When my mom saw her, she began to cry. I felt so happy! It was the best moment of my life. This was much better than any treasure like gold or silver. A treasure like this would last forever. ‘Suddenly something brown and furry jumped on me. It was a monkey! The monkey jumped on my head and covered my eyes.’ Princess Prunette By Mackenzie Jackson, Grade 8 First Place, Grade 7 and 8 Division I pulled back the thick, tangled vines of the jungle and triumphantly realized that I had finally found what I had been looking for! Finally, I had found the Great Castle of Camelot. My sister was being held prisoner in the high- est room, in the tallest tower, and guarding her was the fiercest dragon in all the land. With razor sharp fangs and super-long claws, it had destroyed all of the brave and handsome knights that had tried to save my sister, Princess Pru- nette. As I crept closer I started seeing skulls and bones of the long, dead knights that had tried to save my sister. It was scary, but I had to keep going, I was so close! After stealing a sleep- ing potion from the healer of my village, I ran away and got caught by kidnappers. Then, after escaping from them, I wandered around the for- est for days aimlessly trying to find the markers that the previous knights had used to find the castle. When I found the first marker, I walked for a fortnight until I found the next marker. I rested and started on my way. I walked and walked until I found the castle. I tip-toed across the drawbridge, walked down the hallway, turned and almost walked right into the dragon. In all of the tales told in my village, the dragon was an ugly, repulsive creature with a horrible stench and was quite plump. But now look- ing at the dragon, I discovered that all of the tales were lies. The dragon I was looking at was magnificent. I shook myself and took the stolen sleeping potion from my pack. I swiftly opened the dragon’s jaws and poured the liquid into its mouth. I slid past the dragon and ran up the stairs behind it. I broke down the door and walked inside. There sat my sister combing her strawberry-blonde hair. She turned around, her mouth gaping open and her eyes wide with sur- prise. It took only a moment for her to regain her composure. “Uh, why are you here. I’m supposed to be rescued by a handsome knight, not my sister Gosh, all of the other princesses are gonna laugh at me! I hate you!! “Nice to see you to, sis. Any- way, we have to go. I don’t know how long the sleeping potion is going to last.” “No way, I am not coming with you! It’ll totally ruin my image. I’ll wait for a knight, thank-you very much.” “Fine, sit here for the rest of your life wait- ing for a prince that will never come! Because for your information, all of the knights in the land have come here and failed! They were all destroyed by the dragon. There are no knights left!!!!!” “Oh. All right, fine, I’ll come with you but I’m not happy about it!” “Thank you, now lets go before that dragon wakes up!!” Off we went, down the stairs, past the dragon, down the hall and across the draw- bridge. Past the skulls and bones and into the jungle. All of the way, you could here the prin- cess complaining. “Why didn’t you come sooner? That room was so dirty. My feet hurt! I want to sit down!!!” Remind me again why I did this? ‘I broke down the door and walked inside. There sat my sister combing her strawberry-blonde hair.’ durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 24 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, November 9, 2007 SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com THIS WEEKEND The Pickering Panthers host the Ajax Attack in OHA junior ‘A’ hockey action at the Pickering Recreation Complex tonight (Friday) at 7:30 p.m. Ajax fighter hopes to beat the champ Melinda ‘The Whip’ Watpool fights for a provincial title in Windsor this weekend By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — An Ajax-based boxing club fighter is getting her shot at the best fighter in her weight class in the province this weekend. Melinda ‘The Whip’ Watpool of Tiller’s Boxing club enters the ring against two-time defending cham- pion Aimee Willimot of Chatham’s KAYO Boxing Club on Saturday night at the 2007/2008 Cadet C, Junior and Senior Open Provincial Championships in Windsor. And, although she’s a fighter with only five previous fights, a com- paratively small number of bouts in comparison to Willimot’s 20, Watpool, 17, is nonetheless ready and willing to go toe-to-toe with the champ in the 75-80 kilogram female heavyweight fight. “I haven’t had this kind of com- petition before. All I’ve fought be- fore was novice fighters, so its a big deal to have my first open (cat- egory) fight at the provincials,” says Watpool, a Keswick resident. Admittedly the underdog, Wat- pool is confident she’ll emerge vic- torious. “I want to win this and go to nationals and win there, too,” she says. Watpool notes she’s watched Willimot fight before, so she’s somewhat familiar with Willimot’s ring tendencies. “She likes to fight close-in, so I have to keep her away. She’ll take a few punches so she can land a few hard ones. I hope to counter with endurance and keep her away with jabs,” explains Watpool. Watpool says she’s been train- ing toward a shot at the provincial open championships from the first day she set foot in Tiller’s gym more than a year ago. “This is what I’ve been aiming for -- to get my five fights to upgrade to the open category,” she notes. A multi-sport athlete who’s played basketball, volleyball and soccer in the past, she’s found box- ing to be totally different and totally to her liking. “I find I can get going on adrena- line, but in other sports you have to contain it, but not in boxing. In this sport you can let it all go and I enjoy that.” So far, Watpool says she enjoys the training, discipline and fitness that boxing embodies. She’s also grateful to head coach Chris Tiller for his dedication to her training. “I’ve learned so much there. He really seems to know how to teach you,” she says. Last month, Watpool scored a gold medal at the Arnie Boehm Novice Boxing Tournament in St. Catharines. There, she won her fourth consecutive fight after tag- ging a second round RSC (referee stopped contest) on Iryna Helga- tova of the Fighting Alliance Boxing Club of Mississauga. One other Tiller’s fighter, Ahmed Karatella, received a walkover at the provincials in his junior division 48-kilogram weight class, meaning he’ll automatically qualify for na- tionals.

LOSSA scoreboard NOVEMBER 9, 2007 Senior Boys’ Football Quarter-finals -’A’ Pool - Friday, Nov. 2 Holy Trinity 20, Port Perry 18 (Overtime) The Holy Trinity Titans avenged an earlier 22-13 loss to the Hiron Division champion Rebels in a game that required overtime. For 48 minutes, nothing was decided as the two teams were knotted at 12. Holy Trinity picked up the only scoring point of the second half to force overtime. In the shoot-out, Holy Trinity would score a major and they would then add two when the convert attempt went astray and Kema Nnawuch scrambled for a successful two-point convert on the broken play. The Rebels would reply with a touchdown. The game ended, however, when Shane Winner thwarted the potential game-tying convert attempt. Holy Trinity: Richard Fanning 2TD, Nick Ova FG, C, S,Kema Nnawu- chi 2ptC, David Stafford SFT Port Perry: Matt Townsend TD, Jay Barkwell TD, Steve Parr TD Wilson 14, Dunbarton 0 The Donald A. Wilson Gators continued their perfect season (now 7-0) with a surprisingly close 14-0 verdict over the Dunbarton High Spartans. The game represented a significant turnaround for the Spartans who had suffered a 36-0 loss to Paul Dwyer last week and who had earlier fallen 35-3 to Wilson. The Spartans’ defence returned to form in this game limiting the Gators to only one touchdown in each half. All-star fullback Rashad La Touche opened the scoring with Carlos Naranjo providing the second-half insurance score. Only the Holy Trinity Titans stand between the Gators’ quest to appear in back-to-back LOSSA championship games. Wilson: Rashad La Touche TD, 2C; Carlos Naranjo TD Eastdale 14, Pickering 3 The Eastdale Eagles picked up their first senior football victory over Pickering in 36 years as they turned back the injury-riddled Trojans 14-3 thus ending Pickering’s quest for a fourth consecutive league title. The Trojans were missing quarterback Andrew Lim and offensive weapons Juevol Myles and Major Newman and were unable to penetrate the Eagles’ defence in a tightly contested defensive struggle that saw neither team produce an offensive touchdown. James Needham with an eight-point effort (including two field goals) and Peter McDougall with a 40-yard punt return for a touchdown accounted for all the Eagles scoring. Eastdale: Peter McDougall TD; James Needham 2FG, C, S Pickering: Jordan McLaughlin FG Paul Dwyer 35, Notre Dame 15 For the second consecutive week , the Monsignor Paul Dwyer CHS Saints, led by Blake Sexton with three touchdowns, made an emphatic statement that they are serious championship contenders as they steamrolled to an early 28-0 lead en route to a 35-15 victory over Notre Dame. The Saints have advanced to the final four for the fifth consecutive season. The Saints are still, however, seeking their first league championship since 1992. Dwyer will now travel to cross-town rival Eastdale, which Dwyer defeated 17-15 earlier this year at the Oshawa Civic Stadium. The loss eliminated the Cougars who enjoyed their most successful season in the school’s brief history. Paul Dwyer: Blake Sexton 3TD; Matt Gely TD; James Duignan TD; Trevor Wilson 4C, S Notre Dame: David Delgado 2TD; Paul de Pass, 2C; Shawn Ford S. Quarter-finals -’B’ Pool - Thursday, Nov. 1 Pine Ridge 35, Bowmanville 0 For the second consecutive season, the Pine Ridge Pumas have eliminated the Bowmanville Talons from post-season play. Unlike the 2006 game where Pine Ridge required overtime to settle the match, the Pumas struck early and often posting two touchdowns in each of the first two quarters to carry a commanding lead of 28-0 at the half. Adrian Walker paced the Puma attack with two first-quarter majors. It was a bad omen for the Talons when after requesting a second kick-off by the Pumas when the first kick went out of bounds, they would watch the ball bounce wildly off an up-front defender and subsequently be recovered by the Pumas. Pine Ridge: Adrian Walker 2TD; Andrew Smith TD; Tristan Ming TD; Lamar Wade-Henry TD; Jason Nicholas 5C Sinclair 25, Clarington 0 The Sinclair Celtics opened their playoffs with a 25-0 victory over the Clarington Central Coyotes. The Celtics had earned the top seed in the ‘B’ pool, while Clarington had captured the eighth and final seed. The loss ended the hopes of the first Coyotes senior team which was trying to duplicate the success of their 2006 junior team as it had captured the consolation championship in their first season of operation. The Celtics will now host the Pine Ridge Pumas, the only team in the ‘B’ pool from the LOSSA Elite Division in semifinal action. Brock 30, Richardson 12 The Storm would strike early in this game with a successful halfback pass to a wide open receiver. The Bulldogs, however, enjoyed the return of Jesse Sale to the lineup after missing several games due to an injury. Brock posted 30 consecutive points to put the game away and advance to the semifinals. Sale, junior co-MVP last season, was a workhorse for the ’dogs accumulating roughly 275 yards on 26 carries, including two touchdowns. Lewmar Henry scored both Richardson touchdowns. Brock: Jesse Sale 2TD; George Canellos 2TD; Scott Gordon 3C, FG Richardson: Lewmar Henry 2 TD Uxbridge 41, Ajax 0 The Uxbridge Tigers, which were held to only 55 points scored in six regular-season games, exploded for 41 points (29 by Ryan Adrian) against the Ajax High School Rams. The win sets up a most interesting all-North semifinal between the Tigers and the Brock Bulldogs in Ux- bridge. These two teams met earlier in the season with Uxbridge scoring a late touchdown to win a nail-biter by a count of 9-8 in Cannington. That game was played in the rain and the field conditions were described as a mud bowl. The loss was disappointing for the Rams, which can take some solace from the fact that they were able to pick up their first senior win since 2003 this year.

Attack edges Durham Fury for two-game win streak A J A X — The Ajax Attack have put together a modest two-game win- ning streak after scoring a 6-5 victory over the Durham Fury in Oshawa on Tuesday night. The Attack got goals from six dif- ference sources at the Campus Ice Centre de- spite being out- shot 33-25 by the Fury. Tied 3-3 going into the third period, the Ajacians outscored Durham 3-2 in the final frame to put together their second OHA Ontario Provincial Ju- nior ‘A Hockey League victory under interim head coach John Bowler. Ben Skinner scored the eventual game winner for the Attack on the power play at the midway point of the final period. Kyle Ramsay, John Harrington, Jamie Sodhi, Dylan Potts and Jordan Ramsay also scored for Ajax. Tuesday’s game was the second one for the Attack without leading scorer Paul Chiasson, out of the line- up with an unspecified injury. The game was also the first for the Attack against their former coach, John Winder, who’s now serving as an assistant coach with the Fury. Tuesday’s victory moves the At- tack into sole possession of seventh place in the league’s South Confer- ence with a mark of 7-13-1. The Attack play the Pickering Pan- thers tonight (Friday) at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7:30 p.m. It’s the third meeting between the neighbouring rivals, with each team thus far owning a win apiece in the six-game season series.

DURHAM — Kinzaa Younas smiled modestly as she walked up to the podium to receive her award. “Kinzaa has shown that the power of one is real,” presenter Don Terry said of the youth. As a Grade 8 student at Applec- roft Public School in Ajax, Kinzaa worked with a group of students to educate drivers on the financial and environmental costs of idling. In one week, the group managed to reduce the number of idling cars in the school parking lot from 70 to zero. Inspired by their success, Kinzaa approached Mayor Steve Parish’s office to ask that the Town of Ajax implement an anti-idling bylaw. She was invited to make a pre- sentation to Town council, during which she highlighted the benefits of an anti-idling law: reduction in asthma, cost savings and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Now a Grade 9 student at J Clarke Richardson Collegiate, Kinzaa continues to educate people in the community about the dangers of idling. For her efforts to improve the environment, Kinzaa was the first recipient of the Youth Star Award, handed out as part of the Green- Star Awards luncheon hosted by the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade last week. “I hope this award will encour- age Mayor Parish to consider mak- ing and enforcing an anti-idling bylaw in Ajax that will deal directly with pollution,” Kinzaa said. The award recognizes the ef- forts of individuals under 21 who show leadership and initiatives in greening projects including school or community projects, such as recycling initiatives, energy con- servation, ecosystem and animal protection initiatives, fundraising and awareness building for envi- ronmental causes. But Kinzaa wasn’t the only Durham resident honoured at the inaugural GreenStar Awards and Expo. The awards are a new initiative that celebrate local indi- viduals and businesses who have made significant contributions to the environment through their ef- forts in conservation, protection and awareness. Supported by local groups, such as Durham Sustain Ability and the Durham Strategic Energy Alliance, the awards will become an annual event to hon- our the best in environmental ini- tiatives. The awards are divided into three parts: the youth award, the community and conservation award and the business leadership award. This year’s Community and Conservation Star Award was won by the Canadian Auto Workers Durham Regional Environmen- tal Council, which was formed in 2000 to encourage environmental awareness in the community. The award celebrates groups and individuals who organize proj- ects such as building community gardens, creating wildlife habitats or organizing cleanup days. Since its formation, the envi- ronmental council has promoted pesticide reduction strategies, pro- ducer take-back laws, water con- servation and protection, safe re- newable energy solutions and has been involved in the community on a number of fronts including hosting information forums on the issue of energy from waste. President Dave Renaud said the group will continue its activism through education and awareness, as well as political action and com- munity involvement. The business leadership award was given to Michael Angemeer, who has spearheaded a number of projects in his capacity as presi- dent of Veridian Corporation, one of the largest electricity distribu- tors in Ontario. The award celebrates individu- als or companies that have taken positive action to develop or pro- mote strategies or technologies that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, encourage energy ef- ficiency and the use of renewable energy sources or improve local air quality. Under Mr. Angemeer’s lead- ership, Veridian won the “Peak Buster” award from the Ontario Clean Air Alliance based on a re- duction in peak demand of 8.6 per cent for the 2006-2007 year. He has also implemented a program that provides interest-free loans to employees who want to purchase energy star products or environ- mentally-friendly hybrid vehicles. “While what we have done may not save the world,” he said. “I hope it will inspire business lead- ers and residents to work together to help create a future that we can be proud to leave our children.” Inaugural awards honour green initiatives By Izabela Jaroszynski ijaroszynski@durhamregion.com TRENDsetset Housing market forecast Note: “Higher mortgage car- rying costs and slower job growth in higher paying employment sectors in 2008 will shift demand towards the less expensive multi-family home sector. A tight resale apartment market combined with a back- log of apartment sales that have yet to com- mence construction, will further support activity in the multi- family home sector.” Ted Tsiakopoulos, CMHC, Ontario regional economist. Although Ontario’s eco- nomic growth will lag behind the Canadian average this year, it will remain stable. A new quarterly report from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation further shows that a narrowing eco- nomic gap between the west and central Canada will ease the net outflow of Ontarians heading west. Highlights: — Ontario resale volumes will reach new heights regis- tering 214,350 and 206,250 units this year and next re- spectively. — Ontario existing home prices will grow faster than inflation in the short run, ris- ing by 6.2 per cent this year and 3.3 per cent in 2008. — Ontario home starts will remain above historical aver- ages registering 67,700 units this year and 68,175 units in 2008. Celebrating environmental leaders DURHAM — Peter Love, Ontar- io’s chief conservation officer, was the guest speaker at the GreenStar Awards. Mr. Love had a clear mes- sage for the audience: “We have a huge challenge in front of us,” he said. “One of the big things about it (conservation) is that it’s in- visible,” he added. “People can’t see it. You don’t see energy being used and you don’t see energy being saved.” The challenge for communi- ty leaders is to make conserva- tion a topic of conversation and talk about the measures being taken in their homes, offices and businesses to cut down on power usage. “If you don’t talk about it, people are not going to hear about it,” he said.
