It’s a right-wing ideology that leaves families to fend for themselves.” The rally was held at the campaign office of Ajax-Pickering candidate Mark Holland. Joining the two were Liberal candidates from across Durham Region including Pickering-Scarborough East MP Dan Mc- Teague as well as John McCallum, running in Markham-Unionville, and Martha Hall Findlay, a Liberal candidate in Toronto and one of the candidates Mr. Dion defeated for the party leadership. “In this election, you have an opportu- nity to change the country for the better. You have the opportunity Steven Harper had a few years ago. Fire Jim Flaherty,” Mr. Dion said to cheers. Mr. Dion pointed to comments made by Finance Minister Flaherty, MP for Whitby- Oshawa, including comments that busi- nesses shouldn’t invest in Ontario and the federal government “wasn’t in the business of fixing potholes. “I gave clarity to Canada. Steven Harper gave Flaherty to Canada,” he said, noting his accomplishment of having the Clarity Act approved. “The Conservatives have no plan. We have a plan. We have a record of economic success. We need a Liberal government,” Mr. Dion said. The Conservatives have led the country to “the worst economic performance in the G8 this year,” he said. “It’s the worst eco- nomic performance since 1991, since Brian Mulroney. “We need a Liberal government because the government has a role to play in boost- ing the economy, get the fundamentals right, to help create jobs, to put more money in your pockets,” he said. “We need a Liberal government to keep the budget balanced. We cleaned up a Conservative mess once before in the 1990s and we will do it again. It’s called discipline and it’s part of our Liberal DNA, thanks to Jean Chretien and Paul Martin.” A Liberal government would invest part of the government’s surplus on infrastruc- ture, such as repairing bridges, water sys- tems and railways, he said. “It will create jobs and stimulate businesses in a time of economic slowdown. It’s a commitment to the long term. “We will make the economy more com- petitive, especially small business. We’ll cut corporate taxes and that includes small businesses,” Mr. Dion said. “Lowering cor- Dion wants finance minister fired ✦ See Green, Page 4 newsdurhamregion.com Watch a video at newsdurhamregion.com Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Liberal leader Stephane Dion paid a visit to the campaign headquarters of Ajax-Pickering Liberal candidate Mark Holland Tuesday night.

Pickering man named as attacker at Oasis concert Suspect ordered to keep away from band members PICKERING — A Pickering man has been identified as the intruder who rushed the stage at a rock concert Sun- day in Toronto, knocking a musician down and disrupting the show. The incident, which occurred during an appearance by British band Oasis during the Virgin Festival Sunday, has been widely reported. Video of the incident is making the rounds on the popular website You- Tube and is being prominently fea- tured on online news sites. The video shows a man wearing jeans and a T-shirt emerging from the back of the stage as the band plays its hit (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? and rushing guitarist Noel Gallagher, pushing him and knocking him down. On the video security guards quickly converge and wrestle the man off- stage. The band resumed playing after a break. Published media reports said Daniel Sullivan, 47, of Pickering, has been charged with assault. During a court appearance Mon- day the man was ordered to stay away from members of the band, the reports said. By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — A gas leak on Sheppard Av- enue in Pickering last week caused the evacu- ation of 60 homes. “They were out of their homes for about seven-and-a-half hours,” said Pickering Fire inspector Steve Fowlds. The homes along Sheppard Avenue in Pickering from Old Forest Road to Rosebank Road were evacuated after a four-inch branch main on a gas line was punctured during road repairs last Thursday. The call came into the fire department at 4:27 p.m. and the first truck was on the scene at 4:31 p.m., said Everett Buntsma, division head of municipal property and engineering. It was a 12-inch high-pres- sure gas line so “it was leaking pretty good.” Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. was on the scene to turn it off, but had to wait for authori- zation, Mr. Buntsma said. The branch main was not in use, but the puncture resulted in the gas leak from the main pipe, Mr. Fowlds said, adding it wasn’t located on the map of the piping system, so the contractors on the scene were not aware of it. Durham Region Transit was there to accom- modate evacuated residents, but Mr. Fowlds said a number of pet owners were frustrated that they couldn’t go into their homes to re- trieve their pets. “That’s just part of our mission to protect life, property and the environment,” he said. City officials are questioning how far the pipe was underground, since it was only about eight inches down. “It really should have been much deeper than that,” Mr. Buntsma said, but added the pipes could have been put in when regulations were less strict. The City will meet with Enbridge this week to see how such an issue in the future can be avoided.

It’s not a left-wing policy. It’s a sound policy.” Lower income tax rates and benefits would mean an addi- tional savings of $1,400 a year for a family of four and an income of $60,000. Speaking about his Green Shift policy, Mr. Dion said, “We need to shift away from income and into pollution. This is simple. It’s good for your wallet and it’s good for the planet. “Our plan is positive for eco- nomic growth,” he said, adding several economists support the Green Shift plan. The Conservative plan is “all pain, no gain. That’s why Mr. Harper wants to leave Canadians to fend for themselves.” The Conservatives said they wouldn’t impose a tax on income trusts, yet a year later, put on a 31.5-per cent tax. It was put on even though there was no evi- dence the government was losing money, Mr. Dion said. “We’ll repeal the 31.5-per cent tax and we’ll replace it with a 10- per cent tax that’s refundable to Canadian residents.” Prior to Mr. Dion speaking, Mr. McCallum said, “We all know the Canadian economy has stalled. Jim Flaherty and Steven Harper have to look in the mirror and accept some of the responsibility for the economic shrinkage we have.” When Mr. Harper took office, the federal government had a $12- billion surplus, but that’s been “squandered,” adding in the first quarter of this year, the budget was in a deficit,” Mr. McCallum said. */463"/$&'*/"/$*"- '*345%63)".

Canadian Martyrs, Father Fran- cis Mahoney, and St. Michael Cath- olic schools were declared surplus at the Durham Catholic District School Board’s Sept. 8 meeting. The board will now follow the leg- islative process for property dis- positions and its associated time frames, said Paul Pulla, director of education, during an interview following the meeting. The schools were among five closed due to declining enrolment in Oshawa this year. St. Gregory and Holy Cross were also shut down, but St. Gregory is not owned by the board, while the board may still have use for the Holy Cross site, Mr. Pulla said. With the three declared surplus, the board can now offer them for sale or lease to school boards, colleges and universities, the mu- nicipality and other groups at fair market value. If it hasn’t received an offer within three months, it can put them on the open market, following a tender process for a real estate company. St. Joseph’s former site on Sim- coe Street was the last school prop- erty sold by the Catholic board, for about $2 million, Mr. Pulla said in a previous interview.

Nadine Proctor and her friends Rebecca and Kaitlin Briell are making and selling key chains, with the proceeds going to the Cana- dian Cancer Society. Nadine’s mother, Susan, was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago. Also, Na- dine’s grandparents died from cancer, as did her former Lester B. Pearson Public School teacher, Larry Shortt, who passed away on Aug. 30. “I designed (the key chains) when my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. I designed them and it’s gone from there,” said Nadine, 12. They call their effort Key Chains for Can- cer. “We’re asking for a minimum donation of $3 and they can give whatever they want from there,” Nadine said. They’ve set up a booth at Shopper’s Drug Mart and went to Ajax fire stations to sell key chains. During a recent outing, they sold $400 worth of key chains. They’ll be selling them on Sept. 11 at the open house for their Ajax school. “It’s cool. We feel good about it when we’re done,” Nadine said about selling the key chains. The girls have approached Loblaws about setting up a booth. “When people come to us, we talk to them,” Nadine said. “Everybody came by; they all had a story to tell us.” Family members of Rebecca, 12, and Kai- tlin, 10, have taken the items to work to sell, Nadine said. “They got a donation of beads and they’ve been busy beading,” Ms. Proctor said. The cancer society dictates which colours can be used, as different colours are for different forms of cancer. Pink is for breast cancer, white for lung cancer, light blue for colorectal cancer, dark blue for prostate cancer, orange for leukemia and yellow for cancer generally.

I was very pleased to read this article regarding the Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary and in fact commend you on the attention you have been giving the passing of Joyce Smith and the concern for her many cats. I too attended Second Chance after los- ing my 18-year-old cat to kidney failure in early July. I was so overwhelmed by all the acts available I decided to go home and think about it before making a deci- sion. Several weeks later I read about the passing of Joyce and immediately went back to look at the cats again. A young sil- ver tabby caught my eye in the house and after enquiring about her background I decided she was for me. I knew about the adopt-a-thon after speaking with several volunteers and board members but opted to adopt my cat right away at the full price because I knew they could use the money. My new cat adapted to her environment quickly and is the most loving, affectionate and playful friend a person could hope to find. After several trips back to Second Chance to donate food and to see how things have been going I too have decid- ed to volunteer and help out wherever I can. If anyone is even remotely thinking about adopting a cat I urge them to look at what is available from Second Chance. Places like this would not have to exist if people took the responsibility to look after their pets. Thank God for people like Joyce and all the volunteers who give their lives to clean up after other people’s messes. In this day and age it should not be required, but people never seem to change. S.L. Gosby Ajax Taxpayers can’t afford teacher raises To the editor: Time is now for the teachers union and the government to get realistic. In a province were the manufacturing sector is taking a beating, (the people paying the bills), and real world wages are either frozen or going in reverse, the teachers’ union is asking for a pay raise of three per cent each year and the Province is going to give it to them! Somebody needs to realize that the public sector and its wages don’t operate in a vacuum, they are connected to the overall economy. Here’s what the Prov- ince and the teachers should be doing. Hold wages where they are and then roll them back three per cent each year for the duration of the contract. Now that is realistic. But I guess as the average Joe paying the bill, we will get stuck with another increase to our education por- tion of our property tax to go along with all the other tax increases the Municipal- ity, the Province and the feds lay on us. The average Joe gets screwed again. Paul Morgan Bowmanville Restore Duffins bus route To the editor: It was a revelation to read in the Aug. 15 News Advertiser that Durham Region Transit’s bus stop standard is 400 metres. Since Dec. 31, 2007, the Duffins bus was cancelled during mid-day, ie. 8:33 a.m. to 4:13 p.m., Monday to Friday, leaving the residents on Finley and Lake Driveway without service. The nearest bus stop for the condominium residents at the above address is now 1200 metres (instead of just across the road) to West- ney to catch the Harwood bus, which now takes a roundabout route to the GO station taking an extra 25 minutes over the previous five minutes - it was brutal in the winter, requiring pedestrians to walk on the snow-cleared road to avoid slippery unshovelled sidewalks. In the heat of the summer, tired moth- ers are toting small children with their picnic coolers and bathing gear to Rotary Park and back. Cars or day camp buses have easier access. Restoring the Duffins bus route would send a positive message to taxpayers.

PAGE 6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ September 10, 2008A/P Online Poll Vote @ newsdurhamregion.com This Week For whom do you plan to vote in the upcoming federal election? Conservatives Liberals New Democrats Greens Other party No party Solutions offered as we head to the polls I t should surprise no one that the party in power suddenly unveils promise after promise and unloads a truck full of taxpayer money as an election hits. That doesn’t prevent most observers from raising a cynical eyebrow and mum- bling: “Now they’re finally doing some- thing about (the Oshawa Harbour, the manufacturing crisis, etc.) Guess it must be because they want to get re-elected.” The latest burst of federal Conservative fix-its and pledges centre around several ongoing developments in Durham Region and beyond. A timely renegotiation of the Beacon Project will see General Motors invest another $290 million in operations in St. Catharines and Oshawa -- the breakdown is $245 million for St. Catharines and $40 million for Oshawa -- in exchange for a delay in penalty payments for falling below GM job targets in Canada. Because of layoffs -- especially the truck plant clos- ing set for next year in Oshawa -- GM will fall below the employment threshold that provided $435 million in federal and pro- vincial funding as a condition for Beacon. There are other goodies, like $80 million in federal money for Ford operations in Oakville. One gets the impression the feds, after doing some minor tinkering with Canada’s manufacturing crisis in the last few budgets, are now responding because they want votes in Ontario. The release of the long-awaited Crombie report on the future of Oshawa Harbour, which was delivered in February but not available to the public until last week, is also suspiciously timely. While it offers some compromises it leans toward a made-in-Oshawa solu- tion that would deliver the harbour to the City. Oshawa incumbent Colin Carrie and Finance Minister Jim Flaherty would seem to benefit from the recommendations just as they knock on doors seeking support. While there is some planning going into all these announcements, it’s not a shock. The provincial Liberals made a raft of spending announcements leading up to last October’s election. Only time will tell if such a strategy bears fruit. It shouldn’t be forgotten that opposi- tion parties will also offer their own grab bag of goodies. Voters will have to keep a sharp eye out to discern reality from the false promises and pie-in-the-sky solu- tions offered over the next five weeks.

The riding was set up for the June, 2004 federal election and was won by current MP Mark Holland. Like much of Ontario federally, Ajax and Pickering have been dominated by the Liber- als since the 1990s. A Liberal has represent- ed the two communities since 1993, starting with Dan McTeague and now Mark Holland. Mr. McTeague is the MP for Pickering-Scar- borough East. The riding has a population of 100,215 (2001 census), with an average family in- come of $83,449. “It’s been sprung on us. Everybody thought it would be the fall, but not this early,” Mr. Holland said of the election. Locally, he expects the big issues to in- clude the Pickering airport lands, and infra- structure and transportation matters. “I’m very disappointed about what’s hap- pened there,” he said of the airport lands. “People are looking for a resolution there.” A “real peer review” should be done on feasibility studies on the need for the airport, he said. The Greater To- ronto Airport Authority, which advocates for an airport, was chosen by the current federal gov- ernment to conduct a review of its own stud- ies. “The reality is the fed- eral government does have a role to play” with infrastructure and transportation, he said, a reference to Fi- nance Minister Jim Flaherty’s comment that the federal government isn’t in the business of fixing potholes. Federally, “the economy and leadership” will be the big issues, he said. Prime Minister Steven Harper will make leadership key and “we’re comfortable going there.” Mr. Harper leads with an “iron fist. We’ve seen what happens there,” Mr. Holland said. “It’s almost a dictatorship. That’s not what people want.” The Conservatives passed legislation set- ting a “fixed election date and here he is pulling the plug.” Long-time Pickering councillor Rick John- son is running for the Conservative Party in Ajax-Pickering. The Prime Minister’s office called him last Thursday to ask him to run in the riding, Mr. Johnson said. “I’ve been doing a lot of things in Ajax and, of course, north Pickering. It’s a natural fit (with his municipal experience). I’m excited, pumped,” he said. Mr. Johnson has served as Ward 3 councillor, which covers north Pickering, since 1988. Ajax-Pickering Riding covers all of Ajax and Pickering north of Finch Avenue. “The riding is a perfect fit for where I live, work and raised a family,” he said. “I’ll continue to fulfil my responsibilities as a Pickering councillor and as a Durham Regional Councillor for the next 33 days,” he said. “However, I’ll be donating my net pay to the hospital from my City of Pickering job, my Pickering salary.” As for his Regional pay, “I haven’t de- cided. Either the women’s shelter or the Big Brothers. “If I’m unsuccessful, I plan to continue to do what I’ve been doing for 20 years, serving the residents of Ward 3 with dedication, pas- sion and integrity,” he said. He said the “big issue” in the riding is the proposed airport. “I’d like to see some resolution to the 16,000 acres expropriated in Pickering. I want to work with the community. We’ve lost so many homes, so many families. I’m not happy with the way it’s happened,” he said. “Obviously, the member sitting in op- position hasn’t resolved anything. I want to get it resolved.” More money needs to be spend on infra- structure, such as highways, he said. “One solution I would be pushing for is a high-speed train out of Toronto. It would defuse the need for a reliever airport,” he said, adding it would ideally travel to Mon- treal, Ottawa and Windsor. “The volume of people we could move with a high-speed train removes the necessity of an airport in Pickering.” Pickering-Scarborough East candidates preparing for election By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The Pickering-Scarbor- ough East riding is already buzzing in antici- pation of a fall federal election. Incumbent Liberal MP Dan McTeague has been ready for the race for the past year, hav- ing dealt with “three false starts” already. “I’m looking forward to a good campaign and putting the Conservatives’ record to the test,” he said, adding “We’re going to fight hard.” Running against Mr. McTeague for the Conservative Party is George Khouri, an Ajax resident with roots in Pickering. Also nomi- nated more than a year ago, Mr. Khouri said he’s been preparing. “This area here has been under-repre- sented in government for the past several years and we need to change that,” he said, referring to the “back-benchers” who have been elected in recent years who he believes have accomplished nothing. Running for the Green Party is Scarbor- ough resident Jason Becevello, who believes Canada has the abil- ity to become a world leader by developing a new Green economy, emphasizing the Green Party’s plan protects air, water and food. “I am looking for- ward to this election because I want to show everyone in my riding that we do politics dif- ferently,” he said. “Canadians desire politicians who will stand up in the House of Commons and get work done, instead of standing up and sling- ing mud.” The NDP party hasn’t yet nominated a candidate for the Pickering-Scarborough East riding. The Pickering-Scarborough East riding replaced the Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge riding in 2003. It encompasses the southwest por- tion of Pickering and the southeast part of Scarborough. Dan McTeague was first elected in 1993 to the federal riding of Ontario, which was comprised of Pickering, Ajax and Whitby. He was re-elected to the riding of Pickering- Ajax-Uxbridge in 1997 and 2000 and was re- elected once again in 2004 to the Pickering- Scarborough East rid- ing. He was voted hard- est-working MP by the Hill Times in 2002. He’s currently the official opposition critic for consumer affairs and consular services. He’s married to Dr. Daniela Rossi and they have five children: Bradley, Natalie, Patrick, Gabri- ela and Adriana. George Khouri is the president of Land- mark Sales, manufacturer’s agents for seven furniture companies that services Canada, parts of the United States, and has additional clients in Europe and Asia. He’s a long-time volunteer and in his community involve- ment, he’s been: president of the Clarington Board of Trade; president of the Courtice Rotary Club; and chairman of fundraising for the Whitby General Hospital. He’s mar- ried to Leila and they have three sons. Jason Becevello helped found the Mowat Music Council at his high school, Sir Oli- ver Mowat Collegiate Institute. He studied political science, philosophy and music at Wilfrid Laurier University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts. He volunteers with Junior Achievement where he speaks to Grade 8 stu- dents about “the eco- nomics of staying in school” and helps with the high school com- munity program. He’s an active mem- ber of the Green Party’s federal and provincial wings.

A number of resi- dents suffered damage to their homes. It was the third time their home has flooded in recent years. Hunting for flood solutions Smoke tests should reveal connections between sanitary and storm sewers By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Flooded Ajax and Whitby resi- dents had politicians on their side at a recent works committee meeting, but questions over whether they can expect relief remain. On Aug. 11, torrential rains led to an influx of storm water overwhelming sanitary sewers, which backed up and flooded basements. For some residents, this was the third flood in eight years. The Region now lists four areas where a large number of homes were affected: Annes Street, Walton Boulevard and Lupin Drive in Whitby and Lawrie Road in Ajax. A number of homes in Oshawa were also affected, but they were not in a single concentrated area. Overall, 150 homes have been reported as damaged, said John Presta, Durham’s director of environmental services. Durham will now look for connections between the sanitary and storm sewers upstream from the damaged homes by dropping smoke bombs into the sanitary sewers. Areas where the smoke wafts up are where the water is getting in. Residents will be notified of tests in their neighbourhoods, as will local fire departments. The smoke will not enter homes. At the meeting, Regional Chairman Roger An- derson wanted to know why Durham was only now testing upstream of the flooded areas. “What light went off and said, geez, maybe it’s coming from up the hill,” he asked. Mr. Presta said last time resources had been allocated to check the immediate area only. Mr. Anderson, who pointed out the storm water system is the responsibility of the lower-tier mu- nicipalities, including Whitby and Ajax, wanted to know whether there was a policy in place to disconnect downspouts discharging roof water into the sanitary sewers. “And, does the Town of Ajax or even the Region of Durham for that matter, have the authority ... to say you can’t do it any longer, i.e. the downspouts and the weeping tiles?” Mr. Presta said new and renovated homes aren’t allowed to connect, however the Region does not have the authority to disconnect private downspouts. Councillors wanted to know whether any of the actions taken after 2005 flooding, when 210 homes were damaged, had an impact. They also wanted to know whether back flow preventers, which close sewer connections during storm flows, had an impact. “We know of cases on Annes Street where they have back flow preventers and they still got flooded,” said Mr. Presta. He’s not sure whether that was because they weren’t properly installed or maintained or they simply didn’t work. A report on the issue is expected before Christ- mas break and Mr. Presta said any issues that can be corrected immediately will be corrected. A small group of residents attending the com- mittee meeting had mixed reviews of what oc- curred. “Just a lot of bantering about. I didn’t hear too many solid solutions,” said Glenn Mulhall, whose Lawrie Road home had a foot and a half of sewage come up. Janet Millar, also of Lawrie Road, said both the Region and the Town need to talk to all of the affected residents and is glad homeowners are being taken seriously. Town of Ajax and Whitby representatives are meeting with the Region about the issue. “We’ll be looking to co-operate with the Region fully on this to come up with some solutions to hopefully prevent future flooding,” said Steve Brake, manager of public works for Ajax.

Ken Lewenza, former president of CAW Local 444 in Windsor will be taking the head job from Buzz Hargrove, who has been president since 1992. Mr. Lewenza is the third national president elected since the CAW was formed in 1985. Bob White was the founding president and pre- ceded Mr. Hargrove in the job. Mr. Lewenza was unani- mously elected by about 500 CAW delegates at a special convention in Toronto on Saturday. After his election, Mr. Lewenza dismissed recent announcements made by the Harper government to put money into the auto industry. The pledge comes after the government refused earlier funding requests until several days before an election call, according to a news release. “Where is Stephen Harper on a long-term strategy to preserve manufacturing jobs?” Mr. Lewenza said. “What we need is a Made in Canada industrial policy, one that allows us to build a strong economy and create jobs.” The fight to protect quality public health care and to stop the federal government from entering unfair trade agree- ments that undermine work- ing people must remain top priorities during an election, he said. Local 222 president Chris Buckley said he is confident Mr. Lewenza will be a great leader. “Buzz Hargrove has been a great leader, he has truly left his mark on the la- bour movement,” he said. “Ken Lewenza will do the exact same job. He under- stands manufacturing and has a huge social conscience.” Mr. Buckley said he has a good working relationship with Mr. Lewenza, whom he has known for many years. Mr. Hargrove, who was re- cently appointed to the Order of Canada, said he has not been asked to run for a politi- cal party and isn’t planning on it, but wouldn’t rule it out. The CAW is the country’s largest private sector union, representing 250,000 mem- bers in 17 different economic sectors. -- with files from Tony Van Al- phen, Torstar News network Autoworkers union elects new leader CATCH UP ONLINE AT newsdurhamregion.com Our dental practice features convenient hours: Monday & Tuesday 7:45 am to 9:00 pm • Wednesday 7:45 am to 5:00 pm Thursday 7:45 am to 8:00 pm • Friday 7:45 am to 12:00 pm Saturday 9:00 am to 3:00 pm BY APPOINTMENT EMERGENCIES SEEN SAME DAY HWY #2 HWY #401 BAYLY ST.LIVERPOOLWHITES RD.X GO STATION 927 LIVERPOOL RD.

DURHAM — Hundreds of tick- ets, most of them for speeding, were written during a week-long back to school traffic safety blitz conducted last week by Durham police. Operation In The Zone saw cops issue 1,134 tickets between Tues- day and Friday last week. The ma- jority -- 774 -- were handed out to motorists caught speeding in school zones, including one 18- year-old high school student who had his vehicle impounded after being clocked at 110 km-h in a posted 50 km zone, police said. Cops also ticketed drivers for aggressive driving, failing to obey stop signs and offences such as driving under suspension. More than 1,100 tickets written in back-to-school blitz Hospital reaching out to the community Student Association not sure how court ruling will impact renters By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — One week after a judge found 37 landlords guilty of operating illegal lodging houses near the Durham College/UOIT campus, the student association at the schools is taking a wait and see approach. Amy England, student associa- tion president, said it’s too early to tell what the ramifications of the ruling will be. “We’re not sure yet, but I don’t think it will have that much of an effect on student housing,” she said. “We haven’t had any calls from students about it, so right now, there’s no problem.” An estimated 150 students live or were living in the 28 properties that Justice Peter Howden ruled to be commercial lodging houses. The ruling says those landlords must immediately stop operating their homes in an illegal manner but it isn’t known whether stu- dents will be evicted or how quick- ly the ruling will be enforced. Ms. England said her concerns relate more to the human rights angle of the ruling than the hous- ing logistics, saying it is worrisome that the judge attempted to define “family” in his decision. In several instances in his rul- ing, Justice Howden classifies homes as lodging houses, in part, because the tenants live together out of a need for housing, rather than a family-like bond. “If I’m living with my best friend, they’re my family. We go shopping together, we pay our bills together, all those things,” Ms. England said. “I think it’s a very slippery slope when you start trying to decide who’s a family and who isn’t.” Officials at Durham College and UOIT are also unsure of how the ruling will impact student hous- ing but are confident there will soon be enough other options to replace the 150 lost spots. Gary Pitcher, director of cam- pus safety, pointed out that a new 110-bed residence is now up and running on campus. The 23,000 square foot project by London Property Corporation will include another 110 beds by January 2009 and 130 more by September 2009, if neighbouring land can be acquired. As well, Dundurn Edge Developments is soon set to break ground on Oshawa’s first student apartment building at the corner of Simcoe Street North and Ni- agara Drive. The 551-bed project is expected to open for business by May 2010 “There is definitely a movement towards creating more housing options for students,” Mr. Pitcher said. “Our main concern is that students have quality housing that is safe for them.” rrs TM NEW LOCATION 890 TAUNTON RD.

Team work, responsibil- ity, respect, perseverance, opti- mism, kindness, integrity, hon- est, empathy and courage are character attributes important to the Durham District School Board, heard those at its Sept. 2 standing committee meeting. The words, chosen based on community input, will be listed on posters, banners, and book- marks in schools so teachers can reference it for attributes. “I think they make a real statement,” said Pickering Trustee Chris Braney, referring to the banners. Whitby Trustee Christine Winters even saw the character words near the hopscotch at a local school she visited, written in English and French. In their presentation to the committee, superintendents Joe Hircock and Lisa Millar dis- cussed various character edu- cation initiatives local public schools are involved in, such as Pickering’s Pine Ridge Second- ary School’s ‘I am the Change’ program, Durham Directives, Bully-Free Schools, community partnerships and a character education resource document. They’re most proud of the character education resource document because they started from scratch on it last year, Ms. Millar said. All schools received a hard copy of it and a CD, and a half- day inservice/working session with administrators will also be held. Document highlights in- clude character education and effective schools research, 11 practises of effective character education, goal setting, char- acter audit, graphing results and money to purchase sup- portive resources. Pine Ridge current and graduate students were on hand to discuss ‘I am the Change’ and its initiatives, such as healthy lunches and food for thought. Its programs have decreased suspensions for opposition to authority, in- creased healthy food sales in the cafeteria, and provided free breakfasts to students, they said in their presentation.

Divorce and Family Law Seminar Get Your Free New Divorce Legal Book at the Seminar If you’re getting (or thinking about getting) separated or divorced, this could be a very important message for you.

This seminar will focus on four key issues in divorce and separation: child custody and access, child support, spousal support, and property issues.

This seminar is based on his new book, Canadian Divorce and Separation Made Easier, which is available at Chapters or go to www.Canadiandivorcelegaladvice.com.

Team-ing with pride On June 13th, a pipe burst in the birthing unit at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering (RVAP) and much of the space was flooded. For Dr. Suha Eltayeb, the way that the team united in this time of crisis sums up her experience at RVAP. The obstetrician-gynecologist joined the birth- ing unit nine years ago, right out of medical school. She is proud of how the department has grown into a full-service unit, where doctors and mid- wives work together and support each other. This was certainly demonstrated on the day of the flood, when the team pulled together to quickly relocate to the post-partum unit. The renovated RVAP birthing unit has since re- opened—now brighter and more inviting. “There have been more than 200 births at RVAP since the flood, with no compromises to patient care. This has shown what a truly functional and cohesive unit we are!” Chiefly speaking Dr. Adebayo Odueke could work anywhere. But for this site chief of obstetrics and gyne- cology, it is the sense of camaraderie and his team’s commitment to quality care that makes Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering (RVAP) the place where he wants to work. He has been practicing for 19 years, 11 of them at RVAP. Dr. Odueke’s training and experience have spanned across three countries and continents: Nigeria, where he is from and where he earned his medical degree; England, where he com- pleted his specialist training in gynecology and obstetrics; and here in Canada, where he lives in Pickering. “It’s a privilege for me to be the chief of obstetrics here. I’ve had the opportunity to work at other hospitals in Toronto and here in Canada, but I wouldn’t trade work- ing at RVAP for anything!” ¿Hablas español? Being fluent in Spanish makes Dr. Andres Gordillo somewhat unique among obstetrician- gynecologists in the GTA. So it is no surprise that some of his Spanish-speaking patients come from as far as Brampton to see him in his Ajax office. Dr. Gordillo’s journey to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering (RVAP) was at times a long and challenging one. But it has been worth it. The obstetrician-gynecologistleft his homeland of Colombia to come to Canada with his family in 1993. When he arrived, he spoke no English. Right away, Dr. Gordillo set to work taking English classes and earning his Canadian medical degree. After completing his specialty training at the University of Toronto, he joined RVAP in 2006. “This is the kind of hospital where our patients are more than just a number to us. Their individual needs are our priority.” At Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital campus, we know that having a baby is not just a clinical procedure. It is a lasting family experience. So our birthing unit team of obstetrician-gynecologists, paediatricians, nurses and midwives is committed to providing expectant mothers with more than quality services. We offer the kind of care that you can trust to be there for you—and with you—right until the day you take your newborn home. Meet a few of the physicians who are delivering care in your community.

A labour of love Dr. Janice Ruggles, an obstetrician-gynecologist at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering (RVAP), wasn’t always sure she wanted to be a physician.

Whether you’re planning ahead for a wedding next spring or summer, or putting the fi nishing touches on a beautiful fall or winter trip down the aisle, the Fall Wedding Show 2008 has everything you need to plan the perfect day. This popular event, brought to you by the Ajax- Pickering News Advertiser, is the longest running wedding show in Durham Region, and was even voted a Favourite Community Event by readers last year in the Readers Choice Awards for Ajax/Pickering. The Fall Wedding Show 2008 offers one-stop shopping for brides-to-be and their grooms. The show features bridal gowns, tuxedos, photographers, cakes, limousine services, fl orists, wedding planners, caterers, hair and makeup professionals, music and more. All exhibitors are locally based which means you can fi nd services close to home and save the hassle and expense of going downtown. “There’s no need for couples to look elsewhere. Ajax and Pickering have a lot to offer local brides and grooms,” says Laurie McCaig, event coordinator. “Best of all, you can fi nd it all here under one roof at this show.” This season’s wedding extravaganza will be held at The Ajax Convention Centre on Sunday September 14th with the doors opening at 11 a.m. A jazz/classical band, under the direction of Melanie Hartshorn- Walton, will greet guests as they come through the door. Bagpiper Dave McGonigal will also be performing throughout the day. Guests will also be treated to an array of hors d’oeurves and refreshments as they wind their way through the exquisitely decorated hall, courtesy of Ajax Convention Centre. Everyone is welcome, from the grooms and brides-to-be to their family and friends. McCaig says brides will be given a special badge to identify them to vendors, ensuring they get the attention they deserve. “Vendors like that and brides do, too,” she says. “It lets them know they’re talking to the right person.” This season, the Fall Wedding Show offers two fashion shows: the fi rst will be held at noon with the second at the regular 3 p.m. time. Bridal Desires and Tuxedo Royale will present the newest trends and styles in wedding fashion. Makeup by Lena and V2 Beauty Salon will add pizzazz with the best and most current looks in hair and makeup. Sight and Sound Music Service will provide all the music and will also be the MC for the event. Throughout the day, there will be many fabulous spot prizes awarded, including more than $2000 worth of gifts from event sponsor The Bay/Home Outfi tters. One lucky winner will win a “Romantic Night’s Stay” at the Ajax Hilton Garden Inn. This draw is open for anyone attending the show. With 42 booths, in 18 categories, there will be a lot to see and do at the Fall Wedding Show. You’ll be pampered, prepared and pumped for your wedding! Tickets are $6 for one or $10 for two at the door. Tickets are also available online for $4 in advance, as well as at local merchants listed on the website and in the News Advertiser. Parking is free.

The gown. It’s the dress that defi nes your style, your personality and makes you look as beautiful on the outside as you feel on the inside. The Fashion Show at the Fall Wedding Show 2008 will show off the hottest trends in bridal gowns and formal wear for the rest of your bridal party, compliments of Bridal Desires in Ajax and Tuxedo Royale in Pickering. Strapless gowns are by far the most popular, according to Bridal Desires owner, Joanna Carter, who says most brides still prefer ivory over white, as it’s a softer colour against their skin. She says there is a growing trend back to sweetheart necklines and classic, vintage lace gowns also continue to be popular. “We’re starting to see more of a Spanish infl uence with some designs, with layers of ruffl ing in the skirts,” she says. “Brides also wan to show off curves in more fi tted gowns, such as sheath styles or mermaid.” The A-line and princess styles never go out of fashion nor do splashes of delicate crystals and beadwork. With the growing popularity of destination weddings, Carter says brides are often choosing lighter fabrics for the beach or garden. Your bridesmaids will love you with cocktail length dresses, especially in chocolate brown, mocha and earth tones which are proving to be popular year round. There’s also a trend back to colours such as red, pink, plum, teal and turquoise, as well as two-tone dresses. Bridal Desires will showcase its wide selection of accessories, from traditional tiaras and veils to trendy headpieces that feature feathers and jewels, or a garland of fl owers. “We have a dress for everyone, with a price range to accommodate any budget,” says Carter, adding models from size 8 to 14, tall and short, will show off her gowns. Bridal Desires specializes in helping brides fi nd the ‘perfect’ dress for their shape and personality, whether it’s a strapless gown, halter-style, corset back or billowing Cinderella gown. Tuxedo Royale also offers a range of styles, from the classic black tuxedo to a crisp white dinner jacket or, the newest trend, stripes in either bold, white “chalk” stripes or tone-on-tone. Complement the look with a classic vest with a patterned Windsor tie or a James Bond-style cummerbund and bowtie. There are dozens of colours and fashions to choose from. Of course, what’s a wedding without fl owers? The Fall Wedding Show’s offi cial fl orist, Adrienne’s Flowers and Gifts, delivers an array of colours and styles. Owner Fiona Hutchings says hot pink and lime green fl owers have been a popular choice this year. Yellows and oranges for fall and mauves and pinks anytime are also favoured, whether they’re calla lilies, gerbera daisies or traditional roses. For next year, expect to see a lot of chocolate brown and pale turquoise being complimented by soft pinks, creams and pale lemon. For the guys, Hutchings says while roses remain a traditional look, more grooms are venturing out to something with “a little bit of funk”: untraditional greens, wires or less common fl owers. “It’s fun because all the guy gets is one fl ower,” says Hutchings. It’s your day. Make it your style with Bridal Desires and Adrienne’s Flowers and Gifts in Ajax, and Tuxedo Royale in Pickering.

Creating just the right mood requires the expertise and experience of a great DJ, such as Sight and Sound Music, the offi cial music sponsor of the Fall Wedding Show 2008. “We don’t just spin music,” says owner Steve Ernst. “We take it one step further.” Ernst gets to know every couple personally to make the evening uniquely theirs. From the music, to details such as whether the bride would like to be introduced with her surname, Sight and Sound sets a higher standard. Sight and Sound Music’s professional DJs pride themselves on acting as “party hosts.” They take care of everything from a fun introduction for the bride and groom, to games meant to encourage the new couple to share a kiss. They’ll even work with It’s your day – and your time to sparkle. Let the colours and mood of the fall and winter season be your guide to looking your best on this dream day. MakeUp by Lena and V2 Beauty Salon, both of Pickering, are experts at creating a look that lets you feel naturally beautiful. “The biggest fear most brides have of using a makeup artist is that they won’t look like themselves,” says Lena Gregory of MakeUp by Lena, the offi cial makeup artist for the Fall Wedding Show 2008. That’s why Gregory offers brides an initial consultation, to discuss everything from the colours in the wedding party to the bride’s personality. You can see her work at the show as she prepares models at her booth. They range in age from eight to 50, to give you a sense of how Gregory can work with everyone in your wedding party. She says the trend for brides this fall is very natural with just a hint of colour – purples, greens and blues – to freshen up the look. Soft peach tones bring out the cheeks and, at this time of year, Gregory likes to add “a little bit of gold shimmer for highlight.” It’s the perfect complement to the soft, natural half- up, half-down up-dos popular with today’s brides. Sylvia Barone of V2 Beauty Salon, the Fall Wedding Show’s offi cial hairstylist, says lots of loose curls create a soft, romantic look – as does a fl oor length veil, tucked into the curls. She says the trend is toward small, less ornate veils and hairpieces that don’t overpower the bride’s own beauty. She says the desire for a more natural look means highlights and hair colours are also more subtle. Barone says fortunately the simplicity of today’s wedding dresses draws more attention to the bride’s overall look. “They’re wearing fl owing, A-line dresses that are not too fussy. If the dress is simple, the hair can be the focus,” she says. Of course, the up-do encircled with a tiara is a beautiful style for the bride looking to be a princess for a day – a look Barone considers her specialty. Her late mother spent hours teaching her how to pin the hair in just the right place to achieve a beautiful look that would last all day. Gregory and Barone each have more than 20 years of experience behind them, making them true professionals in the art of creating beautiful brides. So be you, naturally, on your special day with the help of MakeUp by Lena and V2 Beauty Salon. Relax and Enjoy Your Evening with Sight and Sound Music Fall Brings a Hint of Colour to a Bride’s Natural Beauty the master of ceremonies to make sure the evening goes off without a hitch. They know in advance about the couple’s musical taste and which special songs to play or, more importantly, which songs to avoid. “The Bird Dance and the Macarena are usually at the top of that list,” he laughs. With a repertoire of more than 40,000 songs to choose from, there’s something for everyone’s musical tastes. Sight and Sound brings about 25,000 to every wedding, even though only about 60 will be played. “If it’s danceable and recognizable, we have it,” he says. He says couples choosing a DJ shouldn’t base their decision on price alone. He says there are a number of things to consider, such as whether they belong to a trade organization (i.e. the Canadian Online Disc Jockey Association or Wedding Council of Ontario), how much experience they have and whether they are full-time DJs. With almost 32 years in the business, and more than 10 years as the offi cial music sponsor of The Wedding Show, Sight and Sound is the DJ for your wedding. “If the dress is simple, the hair can be the focus.” Lena Gregory MakeUp by Lena booth #28 booth #29 booth #30 booth #31 booth #33 booth #34 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 10, 2008 PAGE 23 A/Pdurhamregion.com Fall Wedding Show 2008 • Advertising Feature We specialaize in up do’s and extensions 376 Kingston Rd. unit 12 Rougemount Centre Pickering 905.509.3522 Offi cial Hair Salon of the Bridal Fashion Show Because You Deserve The Best! www.makeupbylena.com E-mail: lena@makeupbylena.com Special Wedding Show Discounts!

They’re just as likely to be conscious of where the fabric, food or fl owers come from. Green is the theme of this season’s weddings. Whether it’s choosing organic fl owers in your bouquet, recycled paper for your invitations or sending guests home with a packet of seeds, couples today are making a statement about their commitment to each other – and the planet. This season, look for a trend toward more natural fabrics in bridal wear, more sustainable food on the menu and more couples asking for donations to charity in place of gifts. Today’s weddings are also about defi ning your style. Expect to see more letterpress wedding invitations that allow you to custom design your invitation. Letterpress is a centuries old style of printing with moveable type that allows you to create something unique. Couples are also looking for exciting, less traditional sites for their special day. Zoos, public gardens and restaurant patios will become increasingly popular. Couples are also more likely to be facing their guests, rather than away from them and more likely to be sitting at a small table with everyone else than at a head table. On the table, chocolate fountains surrounded by fresh fruit are a popular alternative to heavy desserts. Even wedding cakes are fi nding a new fl avour, with cheesecakes, cupcakes and even pastries replacing the traditional tiered style. Guest books are also getting a facelift. You’re more likely to fi nd a framed photo of the bride and groom – minus the glass – surrounded by a matte for guests to sign. What’s New: Defi ning You and Keeping it Green Another trend has seen the receiving line abandoned, with the bride and groom making the rounds to visit with guests after the toasts. There are few rules anymore. Weddings can be a refl ection of your personalities and a defi nition of you as a couple. The exhibitors at the Fall Wedding Show 2008 have plenty of new twists on old traditions to make your wedding truly yours. booth #35 booth #36 booth #38 booth #39 booth #40 booth #41 durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 24 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 10, 2008 DREAM BIG with Canada’s BIGGEST & BEST GIFT REGISTRY top 5 reasons to register 1.

Pickering resident and student Amira Rezkalla said gas prices are affecting her decision to use the bus. She has a car, but opts to grab a Durham Region Transit (DRT) bus to the UOIT cam- pus. “I just won’t take my car if there’s a bus going straight to school,” she said. Ms. Rezkalla is not alone in considering public tran- sit. A recent survey from the Canadian Urban Transit As- sociation and the Federa- tion of Canadian Munici- palities found 60 per cent of Canadians are rethinking their transportation choices in the wake of soaring gas prices. One in five survey respondents said they’ve switched or are thinking of switching to public transit. Locally, DRT reports a 12.4-per-cent increase in ridership in July over the same period last year. Part of the growth can be at- tributed to more and more people taking local buses to the GO stations. “To date we’ve seen an 18 per cent increase in GO commuter rides since Janu- ary,” said Ted Galinis, gen- eral manager for DRT. And not only are com- muters opting for public transit, almost a quarter say they’re driving less. Oshawa resident Cheryl Legault does a bit of both. She gets dropped off at the Ajax GO station and then takes the train to work. “I used to drive in and back and it just got too nuts to commute,” she said. Ms. Legault also said she takes fewer trips to the Lindsay or Peterborough area to visit family since prices shot up. Ajax resident Ankit Mal- horta also has a car and opts for public transportation. He said taking the GO bus to work saves him a little bit of money. Although he’s opted for a smaller car, insurance, gas prices and maintenance all add up. “I just take the bus be- cause it’s a little more con- venient. It picks me up and drops me at work,” he said. He grabs a ride to the bus station with his brother, who works in Ajax. “My whole family car- pools, my parents take the GO train, I take the bus,” said Mr. Malhorta. With rising prices at the pumps, DRT is planning on seizing the opportunity to get more people riding the bus through an ad cam- paign directed at commut- ers who fill up GO parking lots. “The marketing we’re going to be doing (says) for the cost of a litre of gas, $1.30, we can get you to and from the GO train station,” said Mr. Galinis. Under the co-fare system, GO ticket holders pay $0.65 per ride to the station. “If people haven’t turned to transit yet, now’s a good time to take a look, we’re the cheaper alternative and we’re the environmentally friendly alternative.” Ajax resident Vicky Savas is already sold. She doesn’t drive and has no plans to start. “Just with the price of gas, cars, insurance, the time on the road, I’d rather take the bus.” CHEF TRAINING Largest Trainers of Chefs & Cooks in Ontario! www.liaisoncollegedurham.com Durham Region905-430-0400 IHIH Enroll Now! 6SWWPERH6H)EWXˆ;LMXF]3202= Enroll Now for Sept. 2008!Enroll Now for Sept. 2008!

A recent survey found more people are using transit due to higher gas prices. Eight birds tested positive for virus this summer DURHAM — A dead bird found in Pickering is the latest to test positive for West Nile virus (WNV). The crow was picked up on Sept. 2 and was the eighth bird in Durham in 2008 to test positive for the disease. Crows found in Scugog, Whitby, Ux- bridge and Oshawa were also found to be infected with the disease. The first bird to test positive was reported on Aug. 1. In total this summer, 49 dead birds were submitted by the Re- gion for testing under the health department’s WNV monitoring program. The department’s sea- sonal bird-monitoring program is now complete and no more birds will be picked up. Mos- quitoes will be monitored for two more weeks. As it stands, no mosquitoes submitted from Durham have tested positive for WNV. “Thanks to the assis- tance of area residents, health department staff were able to collect more birds this season than we have in the past,” said Dr. Robert Kyle, Durham’s med- ical officer of health. “It is every encouraging to see everyone being so vigilant in their efforts to help monitor West Nile virus activities throughout the com- munity.” Dr. Kyle reminded Durham residents that mosquitoes are still active and to take precau- tions to avoid them. Last summer, three birds out of the 36 submitted tested posi- tive for the disease. However, the numbers were higher in previous years. As well, this year officials say a horse in north Durham died of Eastern Equine Encephalitis, a similar but much rarer virus that is also mosquito-borne. For more information on WNV, call the Durham Region Health Department’s Environ- mental Help Line at 905-723- 3818 or 1-888-777-9613, ext. 2188 or visit www.region.dur- ham.on.ca.

Ajax is hosting the 70th an- niversary reunion next fall and it will be the second time the Town has hosted such an event. Ajax hosted a 60th reunion of the association in 1999. During a meeting of council’s general government commit- tee on Thursday, Mayor Steve Parish nominated Ward 4 local Councillor Pat Brown to head an organizing committee. She filled the same role for the 60th anniversary. Coun. Brown said the re- union would run from Sept. 29 to Oct. 4.                           4HIS0ASSPORTINCLUDES s &2%%,5.#("5&&%4 6ALID-ONDAYTHRU4HURSDAY3ATURDAYONLY s &2%%$)..%2"5&&%4 6ALID-ONDAYTO4HURSDAYONLY s "UY/NE 'ET/NE&REE,UNCH"UFFETS 6ALID-ONDAYTO3ATURDAYONLY s "UY/NE 'ET/NE&REE,UNCH"UFFETS 6ALID3ATURDAYAND3UNDAYONLY s "UY/NE 'ET/NE&REE$INNER"UFFETS 6ALID-ONDAYTO4HURSDAYONLY s "UY/NE 'ET/NE&REE$INNER"UFFETS 6ALID&RIDAYTO3UNDAYONLY 7HILESUPPLIESLAST,IMITEDNUMBERAVAILABLE 3EEDESCRIPTIONSANDTERMSCONDITIONSAT WWWPASSPORTTOSAVINGSCA  '34  4HEæ.EWSæ!DVERTISERæHASæACQUIREDæTERRIlæCæDEALSæFROMæ LEADINGæLOCALæMERCHANTSæOFFERINGæDISCOUNTSæATæBETWEENææ ANDææTIMESæTHEæORIGINALæVALUEææ7EæPACKAGEæTHEMæINæAæ UNIQUEæFORMATæWEæCALLæTHEæ0ASSPORTæTOæ3AVINGSææ!æLIMITEDæ NUMBERæOFæ0ASSPORTSæAREæPRODUCEDæFORæEACHæMERCHANTæ 4HEYæAREæAVAILABLEæWHILEæSUPPLYæLASTS £°ÊÜÜÜ°«>ÃëœÀÌ̜Ã>ۈ˜}ðV> Ó°Ê >Ê™äx‡{Óȇ{ÈÇÈÊiÝÌÊÓÓÓ Î°ÊʘʫiÀܘɜÀʓ>ˆÊ̜\Ê £ÎäÊ œ““iÀVˆ>ÊÛi˜Õi]ʍ>ÝÊ" Ê£-ÊÓx VÉœÊ ÕÀ…>“Ê*>ÃëœÀÌÊ̜Ê->ۈ˜}à ÎÊ -9Ê 79-Ê /"Ê 19 ,OCATEDAT +INGSTON2D0ICKERING 4HEAREASBESTVALUEBUFFET !LLYOUCANEAT "ARS^/VERFOODITEMS "ÛiÀÊfÎää°ääʈ˜ÊÛ>ÕiÊ­ÓÎÊvÀiiÊ LÕvviÌîÊ>ÊvœÀʍÕÃÌÊfÓ{°™™Ê«ÕÃÊ}ÃÌ° Ê Ý«ˆÀiÃÊ՘iÊÎä]ÊÓää™ œÌÊÛ>ˆ`ʜ̅iÀ½ÃÊ >Þ]Ê>̅iÀ½ÃÊ >ÞʜÀÊ6>i˜Ìˆ˜i½ÃÊ >Þ °° °"° 3OMEOF'REAT7ALLS&EATURE )TEMS)NCLUDE #RAB,EGS 3USHI 4EPPENYAKI 3ASHIMI 3HRIMPS 3TEAKS ""12IBS 0IZZA $ESSERTS )CE#REAMAND MUCHMUCHMORE /…iÊ>Ài>½Ã Ê L i Ã Ì Ê Û >  Õ i Ê L Õ v v i Ì t ÊޜÕÊV>˜ Ê i > Ì ™Ê >ÀÃ"ÛiÀÊ£ää Ê v œ œ ` Ê ˆ Ì i “ Ã Ê À>LÊi}Ã] Ê -

Last Wednesday, Oshawa MP Colin Carrie and Pickering- Scarborough East MP Dan Mc- Teague sat down with fellow MPs in Ottawa for a day-long meeting, which saw industry insiders field questions about why the price of crude oil rose from about $70 (U.S.) a barrel to more than $140 over the past year, hitting a record high of $147.27 on July 11. Among the insiders on hand were representatives from the Canadian Independent Petro- leum Marketers Association and the Canadian Petroleum Products Institute. The two local politicians walked away from the meeting with very different impressions of what’s to blame and two dif- ferent solutions. Mr. McTeague, a Liberal, called the revelations from the meeting “eye popping” saying he is now more convinced than ever that gas prices are being artificially inflated. “Supply is on the increase and demand is way down, yet the prices are climbing,” he said. “It became clear to all the members at this meeting that there is a new breed of investor inflating prices beyond the sup- ply and demand fundamentals . . . and it’s crippling the econo- my.” He was quick to place blame on the Harper government, saying the Conservatives are pretending there is no prob- lem and said the solution is to stop pension funds from invest- ing in areas that can distort the economy -- such as crude oil stocks -- and calling for a law that publicizes who is trading and buying oil stocks. Dr. Carrie, a Conservative, had a different outlook after the meeting, said he didn’t feel the evidence in favour of specula- tion was compelling. “There doesn’t seem to be any definitive proof of specula- tion driving up the cost,” he said. “There is this perception prices go up before a long weekend and things like that but they go down as often as they go up.” Dr. Carrie said prices boil down to supply and demand as with any other commodity. “It’s like buying roses on Mother’s Day,” he said. “They’re going to be most ex- pensive when they’re most in demand.” The Oshawa MP said the solution lies with Canadians becoming less dependent on cars and energy overall. He said everyone can take small steps like walking more and turning down the thermostat. The Commons committee was due to hold more meetings on the matter, but that will like- ly be put on the back burner if an election is called this week, as expected. If that’s the case, Mr. Mc- Teague said he hopes the group will reconvene in the New Year because there is still a lot of work to be done. 895 Dillingham Road, Pickering, Ont.

Will there be one in this comedy? It’s a question I put to director Kate Arms-Roberts. “We will have some food flung, definitely,” she said at a rehearsal for the Sept. 18 to Oct. 4 show. Hmmm, sounds like fun. Kind of whets the appetite to know more. The play, by Caroline Smith, is what pro- ducer Nina Foxall describes as “high com- edy.” It also “veers into slapstick,” said Arms- Roberts. Hence, the food flinging. The comedy centres on two women, both cooks and hostesses of their own cable TV cooking shows. “They were best friends in high school and they let a man get between them,” the director said. “They’ve been holding grudges for 30 years.” Well, the cable TV station isn’t doing so well and both Isobel Lomax’s and Dolly Bid- dle’s shows get cancelled. In one last show, they are paired together and all that hatred and jealousy boils over, Arms-Roberts said. “All the back story comes out, the hatred, the distrust,” Foxall said. “They let everything out on live TV,” Arms- Roberts said. “The folks who run the TV sta- tion say ‘Hey, that’s a show’ and they bring it together for a new show. The cooking takes a back seat to the dramatics. “The goal of the second show is Martha Stewart meets Jerry Springer meets Iron Chef. It’s fun.” Kitchen witches, indeed. Added to the mix is Dolly’s son, the show’s producer, Stephen, and his assistant. “It is high comedy,” Foxall said. “It’s almost bordering on farce. There’s plenty of action. There’s cooking, there’s real food.” Isobel is played by Heather Sessions, who’s appeared in many OLT plays, including musi- cals. Dolly is played by Gayle Herrington, who appeared on OLT’s stage last year. Mike Arse- nault plays Stephen Biddle, the son dominat- ed by his mother, and Brandon Underwood, who has graduated from OLT’s youth group, is the assistant. Arms-Roberts said she’s enjoyed working with the cast, especially since this is her first involvement with OLT. She’s had plenty of experience in theatre in the San Francisco Bay area over 10 years and in other parts of the United States before that. “I’m one of those people who started act- ing in school and never stopped,” she said. Helping back stage are Casey Andrews, a student at Sheridan in construction, who built the set, and Rhea Hewson on lighting. Myrna Bayliss is in charge of costumes and Mary McCarthy and Catherine Hooek are in charge of props. For tickets and other information, go to www.oshawalittletheatre.com. John Vu takes top prize in photo contest By Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com AJAX — A boy creates arcs of water in a playground, evoking thoughts of an end- less summer. Summer will surely end, but John Vu’s photo of his son playing in British Colum- bia is a moment captured forever. Vu has been taking pictures for almost 25 years, but until this year the Ajacian had never entered his work in a competi- tion. He’s now a perfect 1-for-1 after win- ning the Best in Show award in the Town of Ajax and Black’s Superstore Amateur Photography Contest for ‘Waterplay’. “It was taken in Vancouver,” he said in an interview. “I was on a cruise with some family friends and my family. After the cruise, we were hanging out in Grenville Park and the kids were playing in the play- ground.” His second son, Adam, was obviously enjoying himself in the water park, wield- ing the hose above his head like a lasso. When the photo contest came along, Vu decided to enter and looked at his vaca- tion photos. “For some reason, I was going through all the pictures and that one just jumped out,” he said, noting he liked the spray pattern of the water. Vu has lived in Ajax for eight years and generally shoots family vacations and scenes around the house. He calls photog- raphy “a hobby” - at least he used to. “It gets a little more serious now that I won this, though,” he said, calling the win “a big surprise.” Now that he’s an award-winning pho- tographer, Vu has some ammunition when he tells his spouse that he needs to upgrade or add a piece of equipment. “It’s my excuse to tell my wife I need more equipment,” he laughed. “She’s al- ways complaining I have too many cam- eras.” According to the Town, more than 960 photographs were submitted for the con- test, almost 500 more than last year. The winning photos in each category and those that received honourable men- tions are on display at the McLean Com- munity Centre in Ajax, 95 Magill Dr. (at Westney Road), from Sept. 8 to Oct. 27. A Sept. 16, 7 p.m. reception at the McLean CC will see the winners in each of the categories recognized and receive their prizes. Mr. Vu says he plans on at- tending.

A wild ride at Class Act this fall By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Class Act Dinner Theatre’s newest production really is a case of needing a program to sort out the characters. And even with one, it’s still tricky, said Mike Woodbridge, director of Michael Cooney’s Cash on Delivery. The farce is filled with characters who take on one or more identi- ties in order to help the main character, Eric Swan, who’s trying to save his lucrative wel- fare scam. “It’s mayhem galore,” Woodbridge said at a rehearsal. “There’s quite a number of physi- cal gags that take place. It’s hilarious.” “Eric’s become a con artist out of neces- sity. He was downsized out of his job and he doesn’t know how to tell his wife,” Wood- bridge said. So he doesn’t. Instead, he starts cashing his tenant’s government cheques when the fellow moves out. Then he invents new ten- ants and collects more cheques. When it gets a little much, he decides to “kill” them off, which actually brings more cheques and, eventually, government and social services types. “Then it gets worse,” Woodbridge said. When signatures and proof are needed, Swan, who is pretending to be the first ten- ant, has to produce someone to play him- self and a dead tenant. Then’s there’s his wife who walks in, believing Swan is a cross dresser, based on stolen hospital supplies his Uncle George has been stashing at Swan’s home. It might sound complicated, but it’s non- stop laughs for the audience, Woodbridge said. Just keep your ears open, he said. Starring are a host of Class Act regulars. Chris Cole is Eric Swan while Nancy Gleed is his wife, Linda. Jim Neilly is Norman McDon- ald, the original tenant who gets caught up in the confusion. Bill Baker is Mr. Jenkins, the government official. Jim Renshaw is Uncle George. Sally Charrington, a welfare worker, is played by Karen Brown. Lincoln Trudeau is Doctor Chapman, who has been counsel- ling Linda Swan. Daniel Wyse is undertaker Mr. Forbright, and Karen Wiley is Norman’s fiancee. Anita Romanelli is Miss Cowper, Mr. Jenkin’s no-nonsense boss. The play opens Sept. 12 and runs until Nov. 1. For reservation information, call 905-668- 2229 or go to www.class-act.ca.

Locals help Vulcans to big win DURHAM — Two Ajax and Pickering freshman soccer players played a large role in the outcome of their inaugural U.S. collegiate contest recently. In fact, Jodi McDonald of Ajax and Pickering’s Kristen Orrett both scored for the California University of Pennsylvania Vulcans in their 2-1 victory over the University of Pittsburgh- Johnstown in women’s soc- cer action. Forward McDonald, one of 17 freshman in the Vulcans’ lineup, scored the game winner at the 78-minute mark after dribbling past a UPJ Moun- tain Cat defender and beating fresh- man goalie Aubrey Mauger. Orrett scored first for California University of Pennsylvania off a re- bound in the ninth minute. Guagliani wins men’s golf title AJAX — Vince Guagliani held off strong competition to claim the 2008 Annandale men’s club championship over the Labour Day weekend. Guagliani led the men’s champion- ship after the first round with a score of 84. His second round score of 87 had him tied for first with Mike Coyle. Guagliani shot an 82 during the final round to win the title by one stroke over Arman Bourgoin. Coyle finished third with a three-day total of 256, three strokes behind Guagliani and two behind Bourgoin. Meanwhile, Frances Baffa went wire-to-wire to capture the 2008 women’s club crown. She led in all three rounds, shooting scores of 86, 93 and 97 for an overall score of 276. Jim Muirhead won the men’s Low Net championship with a total net score of 214.

Young Panthers pummeled by Preds in opener Pickering juniors humbled 8-2; home opener Sunday against Lindsay Muskies By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The Pickering Panthers’ 2008-09 junior hockey debut didn’t come anywhere close to following the script. A group of young “wide-eyed” Panthers felt the full wrath of the Port Hope Predators in the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hock- ey League season opener for both clubs, as the host Predators exacted an 8-2 whipping at the Jack Burger Sports Complex in Port Hope on Friday night. The Panthers will lick their col- lective wounds this week during practice in preparation for the club’s Ruddock Division home opener against the Lindsay Muskies at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. “Oh definitely, we have a lot of work to do this week,” deadpanned new Panthers’ head coach Bill Brady. Inexperience, and just plain ner- vousness, showed up on the ice for the Panthers, who were man- handled by a more experienced Port Hope crew, especially in the second period, when the Predators outscored the Panthers 5-1, taking a 6-1 advantage to the dressing room between the second and third peri- ods. “We didn’t play very well,” as- sessed Brady. “It was somewhat expected, but we were somewhat disappointed at the same time, too. Some of the guys were really wide- eyed in their first game.” Conversely, the Predators could not have asked for a better begin- ning to the 2008-09 season and new head coach Brendan O’Grady hopes it’s an omen of things to come. “It’s an absolutely great start,” he said of the game. “We were firing on all cylinders.” It was an aggressive game from start to finish, with a consistent parade to the penalty box and two fights. Though the two clubs are new division mates this year, O’Grady wasn’t surprised animos- ity has already formed. “Bill Brady (a former coach of the Cobourg Cougars) knows what to expect from this division. Teams like Pickering, Ajax and Whitby are going to have to get gritty.” Junior hockey team 2-1-1 at Woodchuck Classic in Vermont By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — The pre-season’s over for the Ajax Attack; it’s now “time to play for the two points,” says Attack head coach Carey Durant. The Attack starts the OHA On- tario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League season with a Ruddock Di- vision home-and-home set against the Peterborough Stars, beginning on Saturday at the Evinrude Com- munity Centre in Peterborough. The Attack returns home for their home opener at the Ajax Community Cen- tre on Sunday at 3 p.m. “You always want to start and play for the two points,” said Durant. “The true test is playing for real points and it’s not the same as exhibition games. So far, I’ve been real im- pressed with the kids on the team. I’ve coached a lot of hockey and this is the best personnel I’ve ever had.” The Attack ended pre-sea- son play at the fourth annual Woodchuck Classic Tourna- ment in Bur- lington, Vt. last weekend. The Attack played three games in Vermont, compiling a 2- 1-1 record (one of the wins was by default) at the event that routinely attracts a large scouting contingent from the National Hockey League and the NCAA. The Attack played to a 2-2 draw with New Jersey in their opener. After a 4-0 loss to the Capital District (CD) Selects from upstate New York, the Ajax juniors rebounded to post a 4-2 win over the Syracuse Stars. The Woodchuck Classic featured 17 teams, nine from the U.S. and eight from Canada. All in all, Durant was pleased with the team’s effort at the tournament, which not only offered the players a chance to be seen by U.S. college scouts, but also served as a team- building exercise for the coming OPJHL season. “It was a great tournament, very well-run. We were treated excep- tionally well there by everybody. It was definitely scouted very heavily,” said Durant, adding he talked to NHL scouts from the New Jersey Devils, Vancouver Canucks and the Chicago Blackhawks about some of the Attack players. Mostly, Durant says he was im- pressed with the work ethic of his players, who held their own against top-flight American competition during the four-day event. “What I like about our team is we have a tremendous amount of character and tremendous amount of intestinal fortitude. They can dig deep when they want to.” Durant praised the work of team captain and defenceman Chris Gour over the weekend, as well as John Harrington, Jamie Sodhi and Bobby Gertsakis, who were all named as Attack assistant captains following the U.S. tournament.

Window & Door Repair is built on quality For his part, Brady was prepared for the intensity of the game. “It’s hockey. It doesn’t take long for teams to dislike each other.” With inexperienced and youthful nerves came a litany of mistakes in the Panthers’ zone on Friday night, espe- cially in front of the net, where Panthers’ starter Terrence Reid was left to fend for himself on more than a few occasions. Brady noted cleaning up the mistakes in the Pickering zone will be Job 1 if the team is going to have any success this season. “I think we need to be more consis- tent through the whole 60 minutes. We have to be better in our own zone and in front of our own goal. If we don’t tidy things up in front of the net, we could be on the wrong side of the score again,” said Brady. There were a few bright spots for the Panthers, namely the play of newcomer Andrew Fairney, who arrived in a trade with the Ajax Attack, and rookie Connor Ste Marie, who performed to expecta- tions in the one-sided affair. “They played extremely well,” said Brady of the two forwards. Fairney and John Vlahogiannakos scored the Pickering markers. with files by Jason Chamberlain SCORING SUMMARY Panthers at Port Hope Predators, Sept. 5 Period 1 Port Hope - Danny Grenier (David Har- ris, Louis Alex Nadeau) 0:55 Period 2 Port Hope - Tyler Miller (PP) (Jeremy McCarty) 0:44 Pickering - John Vlahogiannakos (PP) (Tyler Hauer) 2:58 Port Hope - Jeremy McCarty (Tyler Miller, Dave Williams) 3:09 Port Hope - David Harris (PP) (Louis Alex Nadeau, Tyler Miller) 6:45 Port Hope - Brandon Howes (Louis Alex Nadeau, Alex Tillaart) 10:00 Port Hope - David Harris (Danny Gre- nier) 14:58 Period 3 Pickering - Aaron Fairney (Connor Ste Marie, Richard Duncan) 8:23 Port Hope - Danny Grenier (unassisted) 10:27 Port Hope - Nicholas Camilleri (Mitch Moffatt, Peter Baldwin) 17:16 With so many rookies on the Attack roster for the coming season, Durant acknowledges inconsistency may prove to be the team’s Achilles heel in the short term. However, Durant said when his club begins to play with some level of consistency, the rest of the league should be worried. “I’m really looking forward to this year. When this team learns to be consistent, we’ll be tough to beat,” he predicted. Jason Chamberlain photo Pickering Panthers’ rookie forward Connor Ste.
