Prime Minister Harper appeared before roughly 400 people at the Ajax Convention Centre, where regional councillor Rick Johnson is hoping to unseat Liberal incumbent Mark Holland in the Ajax-Pickering riding. The Prime Minister said his party is asking for a mandate to steer Canada as the world’s financial wa- ters get rough. He accused his opponent of trashing Canada’s economy. “Mr. Dion is so angry that this government is in surplus. The opposition tries to tell people that we’re in deficit when we’re in surplus, they try to tell people we’re in recession when our economy is still growing,” he said. “They try to tell people we’re losing jobs when more people are actually working. We need a government and a parliament that is on the side of the Canadian economy, that will tackle our economic challenges by building our economy up, not by talking it down.” In addition to Mr. Johnson, who introduced Prime Minister Harper, Pickering-Scarborough East candi- date George Khouri, Oshawa MP Colin Carrie and Durham MP and cabinet minister Bev Oda were also at the rally. Finance Minister and Whitby-Oshawa MP Jim Flaherty didn’t attend due to the recent death of his mother. The crowd brandished signs for all of the Durham- area candidates as well as visiting candidates from Toronto. The Prime Minister briefly touched on his govern- ment’s investments in Durham, including $800 million Tough talk on economy from PM AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo After Prime Minister Stephen Harper spoke at the Ajax Convention Centre on Saturday, he paused to have a picture taken with Dana John- son, whose uncle, Rick Johnson, left, is the Conservative candidate in Ajax-Pickering riding in the upcoming federal election. ✦ See National, Page 4 durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 2 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 1, 2008 I EPUMPPR C WATCHPR C WATCH online this week at Our readers help you stay on top of gas prices Join us all summer long in our on- line feature -- Pump Price Watch.

The comments have the Lib- eral party calling for Mr. McKeever to step down or be fired, but the woman to whom the comments were made says that should stop. In July Facebook posts to a group aimed at supporting U.S. war resisters in Canada, Mr. McKeever refers to “American crybabies who are trying to turn this country into a hotel.” He then goes on to make a number of comments to the group’s female administrator, Krystalline Kraus, including, “Answer a f______ ques- tion you c___. I can guarantee if I ever see you face to face I will make you squeal for the same authorities that you have such a (baseless) disdain for.” In the past week, since the comments came to light, Ms. Kraus has received and accepted an apology from Mr. McKeever. “As a woman, I can’t let somebody talk to me that way, or any woman that way,” Ms. Kraus said. But, it’s time to move on, she added. Green party leader Elizabeth May greeted by local candidate and party supporters in Cobourg By Jennifer O’Meara jomeara@northumberlandnews.com COBOURG — Green Party leader Elizabeth May’s cross-country whistle stop train trip rolled into Cobourg last Friday. The Green Party has rented a train car from VIA Rail for the tour. Ms. May kicked off her cross-country train trip with a rally in Vancou- ver on Sept. 21. The Green Train left Sunday afternoon and arrived in Toronto on Wednesday night. The second part of the tour began last Friday with a trip from Toronto to Montreal. Northumberland-Quinte West Green candi- date Ralph Torrie met Ms. May at the Cobourg train station. He boarded the Green Train and took it to Belleville with the party leader. “I really wanted to ride the train with Elizabeth May and I hope everyone else will too, symboli- cally speaking, by voting Green,” said Mr. Torrie. Ms. May got into the Cobourg station at 8:15 a.m. She was met by Green Party supporters holding placards and a Dixie-land band. She got off the train briefly to talk with the crowd and greet Mr. Torrie. “I’m so proud to have someone with the record and the integrity and the brilliance of Ralph,” said Ms. May. “When the Greens get elected to Parliament I need Ralph with me. He can explain to the slow learners in Parliament that saving energy means saving money.” Ms. May said the Green Party platform is what Canada needs for an environmentally-friendly future. “This is a commitment to invest in our coun- try, so we can leave to our kids the planet we have enjoyed all our lives,” said Ms. May. “That’s our moral obligation.” Mr. Torrie also spoke about his party’s sup- port of the arts in Canada. He said a vibrant arts community in the area draws tourists into Northumberland-Quinte West, bringing people in who buy art and see plays and concerts. They stay in local hotels and eat in local restaurants while they are here. “We’re here this morning to support our local artists. It is important to our economy,” said Mr. Torrie. Ms. May’s Cobourg train station appearance was the only stop in the local riding. The leader decided to campaign by train dur- ing the federal election instead of criss-crossing the country with a private airplane. The Green Train will produce a fraction of the emissions of a plane and highlight the importance of rail infrastructure, the party states. When asked how she was enjoying her train ride across the country, Ms. May said “It’s awe- some. Take the train, see the country.” After the train pulled out of the Cobourg station, the Dixie-land band kept playing and Green supporters milled about the station plat- form talking and collecting placards. “It’s always exciting to see that woman, she’s so much fun,” said Mr. Lawson. Judy Smith Torrie, Mr. Torrie’s wife, said she was happy with the number of people that came out to greet Ms. May. “We’re really enthusiastic supporters of Eliza- beth May and we can’t wait until she’s in the debate,” said Ms. Smith Torrie. “We’re sure the Canadian public will be impressed with her.” Ms. May has won a spot on the national televi- sion candidate debates on Oct. 1 and 2. The News Advertiser is asking all candidates in the upcoming federal election to answer 10 ques- tions so the voters will get to know them a bit bet- ter. Here are the answers from Rick Johnson, who is running for the Conservatives in the Ajax-Pickering riding. Age: 54 Gender: Male City of Residence: Pickering Occupation: Pickering Regional Councillor Biography: Rick Johnson has been a Pickering councillor since 1988, serving as a local councillor and Re- gional councillor in Ward 3. He received a diploma in agriculture from the University of Guelph. He worked on a 500-cattle operation and also as a cattle buyer in Toronto. Mr. Johnson is also a musi- cian, having formed the County Band. Issues: The big issue in the riding is the proposed airport in north Pickering. He wants the matter resolved as soon as possible, saying families and homes have been lost since the lands were expro- priated in the early 1970s. A high-speed train ser- vice along the Toronto-Montreal-Ottawa corridor would eliminate the need for an airport. 10 Questions: 1. What was your first job? My first job was as an auctioneer. Growing up on a farm and attending auctions I was always fascinat- ed with auctions. As soon as I became old enough, I wanted to be a part of the excitement. 2. What is your favourite book? Naturally, The Auctioneer’s Handbook. Wanting to be the best at my first job I felt I needed to learn as much as possible and so I must have read the handbook two or three times. 3. What is your favourite movie? The Longest Yard, great movie. 4. What got you involved in politics? My commitment to service, and the need to always make a difference in my community whenever I can. I felt the best way to accomplish this was to be a part of the democratic system. 5. What TV show do you never want to miss? Argos football. I just love a good football game, so naturally I cheer on the home team. 6. What music is on your iPod? Santa has not bought me one yet but if he did I would probably have some good old country music on there. 7. What is your favourite local place to hang out? The baseball field at Claremont. Outside off foot- ball, my next favourite sport is baseball. I am quite a good player, believe it or not. 8. What meal sets you apart from other cooks in your home? Not a surprise, I love to barbecue. My two favou- rites to barbecue are ribs and steaks. 9. What one thing don’t a lot of people know about you? That my wife of over 33 years has been my first and only true love and I can honestly say I am still to this day madly in love with her. 10. If you weren’t a politician what occupation would you want to be? A musician, there is just a certain enjoyment I get when I’m playing music and making people happy.

Jeremy Pike, 36, a former grade school teacher and Big Brothers mentor, will also be placed on the nation’s sex offender registry for 20 years and is banned for life from attending parks, community centres and other areas where children might congregate. The hefty sentence was handed down in Ontario Court in Oshawa Monday by Justice Mary Teresa Devlin, who in a lengthy explana- tion of her reasons for judgment portrayed a man who betrayed the trust he fostered with the parents of his young victims. Many of those parents were in attendance Monday for the sentencing. Mr. Pike pleaded guilty in May to eight counts of sexual inter- ference and two child pornography charges, including a count of making child porn relat- ing to videos he made of himself molesting the children. The videos graphically show Mr. Pike, a Grade 5 teacher at Glen Street Public School in Oshawa at the time of his arrest, molesting eight boys. Two of those children were never identified, the judge noted. The videos show Mr. Pike perpetrating acts on children who appear to be sleeping, Justice Devlin noted: “(T)he children were repeatedly abused when they were most vulnerable and completely defenceless . . . by committing the assaults while the children slept, Jeremy Pike increased the likelihood of being able to continue his criminal behaviour without de- tection.” Mr. Pike, who entered the courtroom in shackles and did not meet the glares of par- ents assembled for the sentencing, made no reaction when Justice Devlin sentenced him to 10 years on the sexual interference charges -- the maximum allowable -- and two consecutive two-year terms on the porn-related offences. His lawyer had argued for a sentence of five to six years. Mr. Pike, who has been in custody since his ar- rest in the summer of 2005, was given credit for 6 1/2 years of pretrial custody, leaving him with 7 1/2 years to serve on his sentence. Parents sat stoically as Justice Devlin re- viewed the case, hearing once again details of the abuse perpetrated by a man who over and again befriended children and their parents, gaining trust and access to young boys who became victims. “At all times Jeremy Pike stood in a position of trust towards the boys and in his role as a close and trusted family friend, and in his role as a babysitter,” Justice Devlin said. Mr. Pike was first investigated and arrested by Durham police in the summer of 2005 after workers with the Children’s Aid Society forwarded reports of inappropriate touching made by three brothers from the same family, the oldest of whom was born in 1991. After Mr. Pike was taken into custody, a wit- ness led police to videos depicting child por- nography. Other evidence gathered by police included numerous pictures of children, as well as Mr. Pike posing with children, and evi- dence the man had applied to be a foster par- ent. There’s no evidence Mr. Pike ever abused a child he was teaching, Justice Devlin heard during the sentencing hearing.

But the majority of Prime Minister Harper’s speech focused on national issues, especially the party’s record on tax cuts. He said the aver- age family now saves $3,000 in federal taxes each year. He also attacked the Lib- erals on their Green Shift plan and said it would send Canada into a $12 billion deficit. “Friends, the GTA does not need higher taxes. The GTA does not need a carbon tax and the GTA does not want this country to go back to deficits. “Instead, friends, it needs the kind of prudent invest- ments our government is making to help the econo- my grow.” Prime Minister Harper also talked about his recent announcement to overhaul the youth criminal justice system and the $100 per month allowance for each pre-school child. Clarington resident Penny Davidson took note of the crime issue. “You know, all this cry- baby stuff about give them a second chance, alright, give them a second chance, but not time and time and time again. Somewhere along the line you have to stand up and be counted and disciplined.” Her husband, Dave, said he liked the Conservative’s GST reduction and the move to allow income-split- ting for pensioners. Ajax resident Mae Winter said she thinks the country needs Stephen Harper and a Conservative majority. She’s upset development is frozen in north Ajax, north of Taunton, where her farm is. The farm isn’t enough to make a living on anymore. Before the rally started, about 30 people protested outside the convention cen- tre. They included the Cana- dian Auto Workers union which recently launched the Give Tories the Boot Campaign and is calling the Conservatives out on the issue of unemployment. CAW member Dean Lind- say vowed to keep chasing Mr. Harper. “The minute we find out where he is, we’re going to be there. “We’re going to make sure that he can see the face of the people that are being affected,” he said. ✦ National from page 1 National issues focus of Harper speech Officials, board chairwoman break ground on two Ajax schools By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com AJAX — A sigh of relief was heard following two ground- breaking ceremonies for new Ajax schools. On Thursday evening, Dur- ham District School Board representatives gathered first on Telford Drive and then at Warner and Williamson drives to break ground for the new unnamed Meadows and Hamlet schools scheduled to open in September 2009. “‘Scuse me,” called one woman who was a passenger in a vehicle to the group of people standing in front of the board’s new school sign in the Hamlet subdivision. “Does anyone here know if this is going to be French Im- mersion?” “Yes it is,” answered Ajax Trustee Marilyn Crawford. “So what happens to the students that aren’t French Immersion that are currently bused to school?” the pas- senger continued. “It’s going to be dual track,” Trustee Crawford replied. “That does my heart well,” said the woman before con- tinuing along. What’s currently a large sign and dirt pile on a 5.95- acre site near Taunton and Audley roads will become a two-storey, more than 60,000- square-foot school with 27 classrooms and space for 558 students. The school will offer French Immersion and Eng- lish. Currently, students from the community attend Dr. Roberta Bondar, Cada- rackque, and Valley View public schools. Construction is on schedule, some soil re- placement has been done and tender approval should be finished by early October, allowing construction trailers to be on site around mid-Oc- tober. “I almost think from the get-go that’s the way we’ve been looking to help allevi- ate some of the pressure at Cadarackque,” Trustee Craw- ford said, and added French Immersion is growing. “The project is planned to be finished September 09, same with the Meadow’s project,” Trustee Crawford said. At the Meadows site on Telford Drive, near Westney and Rossland roads, con- struction is underway. It will feature two storeys, almost 59,000 square-feet, accommodate 535 students in 26 classrooms, and be built on a five-acre lot. “It’s going to be great; it’s going to be a beautiful school for the community,” said ar- chitect Paul Weppler. Of the 26 classes, four are for kin- dergarten students. “There’s a library right here at the front,” said Mr. Weppler. The school also features a large general pur- pose room in the core of the building and a circular main entrance. Future students currently attend Lincoln Avenue and Lincoln Alexander public schools. “Foundations are com- plete and we’re preparing to start the above-grade work,” said Lisa Bianca, construc- tion supervisor. “We hope to be enclosed by the time winter comes,” Ms. Bianca said. Construction is going well with good progress occur- ring on schedule. Work on the project started the first week of August. “We managed to avoid the bulk of rain, which has helped,” Ms. Bianca said. Generally, the board looks at adding a new school when it has 300 to 400 students in a community without a school, Trustee Crawford said. “These two communities have met that expectation for sure,” Trustee Crawford said. Even with the high number of students, there hasn’t been an outcry for a new school, she said. $IJFGEFQMPSFTDSJNF AUJOHFEXJUIIBUSFE 9pB\`k_>`cc`^XeXe[ A\]]D`kZ_\cc JkX]]Ni`k\ij G@:B<I@E> Ç 1PMJDF BSF TFFLJOH UIF QVCMJDT BTTJTUBODF BT UIFZ JOWFTUJHBUF UIF EFTFDSBUJPO PG B )JOEV UFNQMF JO OPSUI 1JDLFSJOH %VSIBNQPMJDF$IJFG.JLF&XMFTJTTVFE B TUBUFNFOU EFQMPSJOH UIF WBOEBMJTN EJT DPWFSFE FBSMZ 4VOEBZ BU UIF %FWJ .BOEJS 5FNQMF PO #SPDL 3PBE OPSUI PG 3PTTMBOE 3PBE 4PNFPOF TNFBSFE GFDBM NBUUFS PO UIF GSPOUHMBTTEPPSTPGUIF)JOEVUFNQMF BD DPSEJOHUPQPMJDF i5IJTBDUPGWBOEBMJTN UJOHFEXJUIIBUSFE JTNPTUEJTUVSCJOHBOEXFXBOUUPTFOEB TUSPOH NFTTBHF PVU UIBU UIJT UZQF PG JHOP SBODFXJMMOPUCFUPMFSBUFEJO%VSIBN3F HJPO uUIFDIJFGTBJEJOBTUBUFNFOUSFMFBTFE 5VFTEBZ i.FNCFSTPGUIJTUFNQMFDPOUSJCVUFHSFBU MZUPUIFSJDIOFTTBOEWJUBMJUZPGPVSDPN NVOJUZBOEUIFTFBDUTBSFSFQSFIFOTJCMFBOE UPUBMMZVOBDDFQUBCMF uUIF$IJFGTBJE 1PMJDF TQPLFTNBO %BWF 4FMCZ TBJE UIBU XIJMF UIF JODJEFOU XBT EFMJCFSBUF BOE PG GFOTJWF JUMJLFMZEPFTOPUDSPTTUIFUISFTIPME UIBUXPVMEDMBTTJGZJUBTBIBUFDSJNFVOEFS UIF$SJNJOBM$PEF i*UT QSPCBCMZ UFDIOJDBMMZ OPU B IBUF DSJNF u.S4FMCZTBJEi5IFSFTBMPUPGIPPQT ZPVIBWFUPHPUISPVHIUPQSPWFJUTBIBUF DSJNFu $FDJM3BNOBVUI UIFTFDSFUBSZBUUIFUFN QMF TBJE UIF JODJEFOU iXBT FYUSFNFMZ VQ TFUUJOH1FPQMFXFSFXPOEFSJOHXIZ5IFZ DPVMEOUVOEFSTUBOEu i*UTBGFFMJOHXFIBWFDPNFTPGBS ZFUDFS UBJOFMFNFOUTPVUUIFSFBSFCFOUPOWBOEBM JTN u.S3BNOBVUITBJEi5IFSFTBDSFBUJPO PG IBUF NJTUSVTU CZ UIF IBUF NPOHFST PVU UIFSFXIPXBOUUPDSFBUFBOBUNPTQIFSFPG GFBSBOENJTUSVTUu i*DBOUEFTDSJCFJUSFBMMZu 5IF GFDFT XBT DMFBOFE VQ IF TBJE i*U XBTOUUIFCFTUPGFYQFSJFODFT*UXBTDMFBOFE VQ EJTJOGFDUFECFGPSFUIFDPOHSFHBOUTDBNF JOu 4VOEBZTFSWJDFCFHJOTBUBNBOEUIF GFDFTXBTGPVOEBUBCPVUBN i1FPQMFDPNFJOBUBOEUPCFHSFFUFECZ UIJTNFTTSJHIUPOUIFEPPS)VNBOGFDFTJT OPUUIFLJOEPGUIJOHZPVXBOUUPCFHSFFUFE XJUIXIFOZPVHPUPPGGFSQSBZFSTUP(PE u .S3BNOBVUITBJE 5IF5FNQMFIBTCFFOCSPLFOJOUPPOUXP QSFWJPVTPDDBTJPOT IFTBJE i8F BSF QFBDFGVM QFPQMF 8F QSPQBHBUF QFBDF u.S3BNOBVUITBJE BEEJOHUIF5FN QMFIBTXPSLFEXJUIUIF$JUZPG1JDLFSJOHPO NBOZFWFOUT 5IF 5FNQMF BMTP PGGFST PSJFOUBUJPO GPS OFXQPMJDFPGGJDFST TPUIFZDBOVOEFSTUBOE UIFSFMJHJPOBOEDVMUVSFCFGPSFCFJOHPOUIF SPBE i8IFOXFIBWFGVODUJPOT XFJOWJUFGSPN UIFCSPBEDSPTTTFDUJPO uIFTBJEi8FXBOU UPDSFBUFBLJOEFS HFOUMFSTPDJFUZu i5IFSFT B NJOPSJUZ UIBU TUJMM IBWF UIJT IBUFNPOHFSJOH WJFX *UT UJNF GPS TPNF UIJOHUPCFEPOFu i*UTWFSZ WFSZTVSQSJTJOHBOEEJTUBTUFGVM GFFMJOHXIFOPVSEFWPUFFTDPNFUPUIF.BO EJS XIFOUIFZDPNFXJUIUIFJSPGGFSJOHGPS QSBZFSTFSWJDFBOEUIFTUFODIJUDPOUBJOFE XBT WFSZ USPVCMJOH GPS PVS EFWPUFFT u .S 3BNOBVUITBJE i*IPQFXIPFWFSEJEJUXJMMCFDBVHIUBOE EFBMUXJUI JOBNBOOFSUIJTQFSTPOXPVME TFFUIFMJHIUPGEBZBOECFCFUUFSu %FUFDUJWFT BSF SFWJFXJOH TFDVSJUZ WJEFP BOE DPQT BSF VSHJOH BOZPOF XJUI LOPXM FEHFPGUIFWBOEBMJTNUPTUFQGPSXBSE"OZ POFXJUIJOGPSNBUJPOJTBTLFEUPDBMMQPMJDF BU FYUFOTJPO PS $SJNF 4UPQQFSTBU &217,18(' 6,5(16281' 7(67,1* (""%'# &)&' + + 030 00, . , (. , 00 ) 030 1, 00,0, +0000 3.31 3 0 0 & + , , + & $ * + $,1,00+0,, 2 .0 .',1,0 00 ,, 0$,1,0 (. , 00/,.3 , 0 + '!&&$#")'&' # 0 (+! $ %10 (+!

The last time the Region undertook such a review was in 1996 - more than 12 years ago. As the Mayor of Ajax, one of my main responsibilities is to ensure that Ajax residents are represented fairly at the Regional level. Regional services account for about 54 per cent of the Town’s property tax bill. Ajax presently has the highest popula- tion per regional council member, and by 2012 is predicted to have a popula- tion/member ratio that is nearly double the average for the Region and 25 per cent greater than any other municipal- ity. This is not expected to change until the next major population shift in 15 years. Based on the principle of “represen- tation by population” established in Ontario prior to Confederation, is this under-representation fair to ask of Ajax residents, or any residents of Durham Region for that matter? Posed this way, you can appreciate why the Town is calling for a review. I would like to stress that the Town is not married to any one solution, or how the review should be adminis- tered. I will simply be requesting that Regional Council initiate a review as a way of opening the door to discussions that are crucial to the very basis of our democracy. There are several ways we can bring fairness back to Regional Council, not only for the good of Ajax, but for the entire Region. Steve Parish Mayor, Town of Ajax Williams’ ire ‘nothing but spite’ To the editor: Re: Sept. 19 letter, ‘Fear Harper major- ity’. The writer expresses concern that Prime Minister Stephen Harper may form a majority government after the next federal election. I find it amusing the writer would quote Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams, who has an ongoing personal dispute with Prime Minister Harper. This stems from Premier Williams’s misunderstanding of what Prime Minister Harper had promised New- foundland and Labrador in the agree- ment that was negotiated on provincial transfer payments. Premier Williams wanted the now lucrative oil revenues of Newfoundland exempted from this agreement; Prime Minister Harper wanted no part of this, thus the current clash of egos. Premier Williams and the provincial Conservative party in Newfoundland are now supporting Liberal candidates. Nothing but spite from a man who could not get his own way. Dermot Doyle Ajax Newfoundland premier had beef with last Liberal government To the editor: Re: Sept. 19 letter, ‘Fear Harper majority’. Mr. Rak must have a short memory as Newfoundland-Labrador Premier Danny Williams hated the last Lib- eral government so much as they had ignored him (apparently the Liberals were tied up giving away millions of taxpayers’ dollars sponsoring friends) that Premier Williams had all the Canadian flags in Newfoundland-Lab- rador lowered in revenge.

The last time the Region undertook such a review was in 1996 - more than 12 years ago. As the Mayor of Ajax, one of my main responsibilities is to ensure that Ajax residents are represented fairly at the Regional level. Regional services account for about 54 per cent of the Town’s prop- erty tax bill. Ajax presently has the highest popula- tion per regional council member, and by 2012 is predicted to have a popula- tion/member ratio that is nearly double the average for the Region and 25 per cent greater than any other municipality. This is not expected to change until the next major population shift in 15 years. Based on the principle of “representa- tion by population” established in Ontario prior to Confederation, is this under-rep- resentation fair to ask of Ajax residents, or any residents of Durham Region for that matter? Posed this way, you can appreci- ate why the Town is calling for a review. I would like to stress that the Town is not married to any one solution, or how the review should be administered. I will sim- ply be requesting that Regional Council initiate a review as a way of opening the door to discussions that are crucial to the very basis of our democracy. There are several ways we can bring fair- ness back to Regional Council, not only for the good of Ajax, but for the entire Region. Steve Parish Mayor, Town of Ajax ‘Elite’ housing not what Ajax requires To the editor: Re: ‘More houses coming near Deer Creek’, Sept. 18 News Advertiser. Just what Ajax needs - more housing that “caters to the elite sector.” I’m sure the rural residents of Ajax who are stuck in the greenbelt areas wish that they had the same exceptional powers that Cougs Investment Ltd. possesses. Coun- cillor Scott Crawford in 1989 was willing to give up 12.68 hectares/31.3 acres of precious Ajax greenbelt and he and all the other members of Council are meekly fol- lowing suit today. How fortunate for Deer Creek and Cougs Investment Ltd. that the Town’s amendments/approvals predate and are therefore recognized by the Pro- vincial Greenbelt Plan, which came into full force and effect on Dec. 16, 2004. What a difference a day may make in how Ajax and the other levels of Ontario govern- ments dictate what can or cannot be done. I am very disappointed that Deer Creek gets to build 27 estate homes in order to fill their pockets with more profit. This is not the kind of housing that Ajax needs. The recent actions of Council show that their visioning is out of whack. The think- ing that what was good for Ajax in 1989 remains the same today shows that maybe some members have served too long and are out of touch with today’s residents and today’s needs. The Town and Council did hold a public open house for this application on June 13, 2007 and only two members of the public showed up. Isn’t it amazing what constant communication by our elected representatives with their constituents produces. Michael Baker Ajax Newfoundland premier had beef with last Liberal government To the editor: Re: Sept. 19 letter, ‘Fear Harper majority’. Mr. Rak must have a short memory as Newfoundland-Labrador Premier Danny Williams hated the last Liberal govern- ment so much as they had ignored him (apparently the Liberals were tied up giving away millions of taxpayers’ dollars sponsoring friends) that Premier Williams had all the Canadian flags in Newfound- land-Labrador lowered in revenge.

DURHAM — This fall, the Durham Region Humane Society will be team- ing up with a national cat food com- pany to find adoptive homes for the dozens of stray cats crowding its Os- hawa shelter. From September to November, the makers of Whiskas are partnering with 15 animal shelters across Canada as part of the 2008 Whiskas Cat Adoption Program. The initiative sees each shelter re- ceive $5,000, a digital camera to help showcase the cats in need of homes and adoption starter kits to give to new pet parents. “We are at triple cat capacity, with felines occupying every inch of shelter space from the reception area to the bathroom. We need loving, permanent homes for these cats,” said Ruby Rich- ards, shelter manager at the Humane Society of Durham Region. “Shelter cats make such wonderful, life-long pets that enrich any home through their love and affection.” For more information on the local humane society, visit www.humane- durham.com.

Olive Carter, 87, was house- sitting for her daughter and her husband, Janice and Ro- land Aucoin, in Whitby when she took the dog for a walk and a recycling truck struck and killed her Friday morn- ing. The dog survived. “We were away, unfortu- nately, and weren’t here to be with her,” said a tearful Mrs. Aucoin. She said Mrs. Carter was in good health, full of energy and loved to bake, cook, gar- den - African Violets and Ge- raniums were her favourites - and bowl. “She still bowled until she was about 85,” Ms. Aucoin said, adding she remembered it being one of her mother’s hobbies growing up. Before retiring and mov- ing to Pickering in 1988, Mrs. Carter raised her daughter in Fredericton, N.B., after her husband, Herbert, died when Ms. Aucoin was only 10. Mrs. Carter was a director of nursing, so with the high- profile job and duties of a sin- gle mother, she didn’t have much time for volunteering. But, she made up for it when she moved to Pickering. “Olive has been a volunteer with us since June of 1990,” said Deb Kalogris, the ad- ministrator for Community Care Durham, Ajax-Pickering (CCDAP) Home Support. “She always had a smile on her face and made everyone feel welcome.” Mrs. Carter was honoured in June for her long-time dedication to CCDAP, and especially for her work with the Luncheon Out program, which provides the opportu- nity for seniors and people with disabilities to get out of their homes and enjoy lunch and entertainment. “She loved those clients like family,” said her good friend, Muriel Hughes. Ms. Hughes also volun- teers at the organization and said one of Mrs. Carter’s jobs was to confirm with those signed up that they would attend their lunch dates. “She wouldn’t give up on trying to get in touch with them,” she said. Mrs. Carter was a long- time member of the United Church Women at St. Mark’s United Church in Whitby and the Rouge Hill Seniors’ Club, where she’d often mind bak- ing tables, and was a cham- pion bowler. “On one occasion she was named Queen of the Hill,” Ms. Hughes said. Aside from her volunteer- ing, Mrs. Carter was also an avid newspaper reader and was quite up to speed on cur- rent events. “She and my husband could talk politics for hours,” Ms. Aucoin said. Ms. Aucoin had the chance to vacation with her mother, who loved to travel, when they went on a Caribbean cruise in February. “She had a blast so I’m glad that we did that,” she said. A memorial will be held Wednesday, Oct. 1 at St. Mark’s United Church (201 Centre St. S., Whitby) at 7 p.m. and visitation will be in the church for one hour be- fore. The family will also fly to Fredericton Thursday to hold a memorial for friends and family there. Mrs. Carter also leaves behind two granddaughters, Jillian and Arianne, and her brother, Gerald Schofield, and his wife, Marion. submitted photo Pickering volunteer Olive Carter, second from left, was killed on Friday in an accident in Whitby while house-sitting for her daughter.

MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO – September 15, 2008 – Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT (TSX: CSH.UN) (“Chartwell”) announced today that Lloyd Knight of Stouffville won its second annual “Senior Star” singing and musical instrument competition held at the famed Royal York’s Imperial Room in Toronto. More than 800 seniors from across Canada entered regional contests in their quest to be chosen top entertainer. “The quality of talent was spectacular. It was a very diffi cult task to pick the best out of the amazing ten fi nalists. In the end, it was the power and grace of Lloyd’s voice that won us over,” said Dan Clancy, lead singer of famed Canadian band Lighthouse and one of the judges of the contest. Entertainment icon Gordy Tapp and singer-song-writer Tim Louis joined Mr. Clancy on the judging panel. Famed Canadian singer Dinah Christie hosted the event. Laura Lynn and her seven-piece band provided back-up music for the fi nalists who competed on the same stage where singing and music greats like Tony Bennett and Duke Ellington have headlined. First runner up was John Storms of Kingston and second runner up was Phyllis Styles of Etobicoke. All 10 fi nalists received engraved, cut-glass trophies, and the top three won, respectively, $5,000, $4,000, and $3,000 travel vouchers. In honor of Seniors Month in June, regional contests are held across Canada in Chartwell residences, community centers and auditoriums. It is open to Canadian residents 65 and over.

The national “do not call list” launches Tuesday, Sept. 30, by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Com- mission. The list will be run by Bell Canada and will allow phone owners who sign up to look for- ward to fewer sales spiels. Registration for the list will be free. The operational costs for Bell Canada will come from sub- scription fees paid to the list by telemarketing companies. Subscriptions to the list will expire after three years and the onus will be on phone owners to renew. Land lines, cellphones and fax numbers can be signed up for the list. Bell will not be required to call subscribers to let them know when they will be re- moved from the list. Some callers will be exempt. Registered charities, political par- ties, political candidates, opinion polls and market research firms who are not selling a product will be exempt. Other exceptions in- clude newspapers calling to sell subscriptions and calls to con- sumers who have existing busi- ness relationships with a com- pany.

Early- morning crash leads to impaired charge Incident in Whitby early Sunday resulted in damage to properties, vehicles WHITBY — An early-morning crash that caused extensive dam- age to vehicles and property in a residential neighbourhood has led to a drunk-driving charge against a Whitby man. Durham police were called to Scott Street in the area of Manning and Garrard roads at 1:40 a.m. Sunday. Witnesses told cops a van had been speeding northbound when the driv- er lost control and tore across several lawns and through a hedge before slamming into a parked pickup. When officers arrived the van was on its roof and the truck lay on its side in a garden in the front yard of a residence, police said. Officers located the driver as well as two others who had been in the van nearby. The driver was taken to hospital and treated for minor injuries. Both the pickup and the van were heavily damaged, police said. Dam- age in the incident is estimated at $60,000. Dylan Evely, 19, of Crawforth Street in Whitby, is charged with impaired driving.

Serving the community for 7 years By Melissa Mancini mmancini@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Residents can try their hand at sheep shearing, apple cider pressing and cow feeding this weekend. And that’s just a short list of activities avail- able for the public to try at local farms as visitors are invited to see what life on the farm is like. It’s a chance to get an up-close and per- sonal look at Durham’s second largest sector: agriculture. It’s all part of Gates Open, a self-guided tour of Durham’s farms. There are 16 farms partici- pating across the region as well as many local restaurants and bed and breakfast businesses, which will cook with locally grown food. The event is an opportunity to get an under- standing of where food comes from, Durham Farm Fresh president Ian Kruis said. “We’re hoping that as many people as possi- ble from Durham and the surrounding regions will take the time to see, hear, taste, touch and even smell the farms in Durham,” Mr. Kruis said. Some of these farms are not always open to the public, so it’s a unique experience, he said. All eight Durham municipalities have some- thing to offer the families that visit them, said Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce. “There’s not enough time in two days to do it all,” Mayor Pearce said. Durham tourism manager Kerri King said it’s the perfect time to see farms that are “jew- els in the beautiful countryside.” The event takes place Saturday, Oct. 4, and Sunday, Oct. 5 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Wristbands are $10 per adult, which in- cludes admission to all the farms and food samples while visiting. Children 16 and under are free. For more information and a list of partici- pating farms, restaurants and B&Bs visit: www. gatesopen.ca or call 1-800-413-0017.

The Durham Region Local Training Board will be hosting a confer- ence called Independent Women of the Future to inspire women who are looking to return to the workforce. This is the first time the conference has been held and it comes as a result of Durham Region consulta- tions. It was determined there was a need in the com- munity for more support for women who want to get back to work, said Fae- lyne Templer, the business co-chair for the training board. “The vision for this con- ference is not just to give information to women, but really to give women an empowering experience,” Ms. Templer said. The conference will fea- ture four workshops de- signed to make the path to getting back to work clear- er. Topics discussed will be clear communication strategies, available edu- cation programs, making time for you and explor- ing community partners to help make the journey into the office easier. The day will also have opportunities for network- ing and a trade show as- pect where participants can connect with com- munity agencies. Sessions will be “incredibly infor- mative and engaging” and attendees will be “wowed by phenomenal speakers” Ms. Templer said. The event will take place Oct. 8 at the Ajax Hilton Conference Centre on 500 Beck Cres. in Ajax. The conference will be from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Women can register to participate by calling 905- 666-3620 or online at www. a-vocation.com.

Doctor Nawal Ammar, dean of the fac- ulty of criminology, justice, and policy studies at the University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology, recently returned from a trip to New York, where she presented ‘Ecological Health and Earth Rights’ at the United Nations Headquarters. Her presence was part of the Buddhist- Muslim dialogue series which coincided with the 60th anniversary of the Univer- sal Declaration of Human Rights. It was intended to remind people of the world’s ecological crisis. “It was very good, very interesting,” Dr. Ammar said about the conference. Unlike academic presentations where you don’t have to worry about offending, you have to be careful and present in a diplomatic manner at the United Nations, she said. In her presentation she discussed eco- feminism and the commonalities between Islamic and Buddhist faiths relating to the environment. Dr. Ammar began her work on the issue in 1993 but hasn’t done any research on the subject since 2004. Every time she moves on, she gets pulled back in, she said. The principle of eco-feminism is that a society that oppresses the environment also opposes women. Unless society stops abusing the ecosystem, it can’t stop abus- ing women, she said. Dr. Ammar took that theory and applied it to Islamic society using case studies. The project showed the different oppres- sions and how they relate to the environ- ment. In the 1990s, the idea was to stop women from having kids to fix the environment, but the concept doesn’t work, she said. Studies show children in Africa use 11 times less resources than those in North America. “Don’t tell me it’s a matter of popula- tion, it’s a matter of how we use our re- sources,” Dr. Ammar said. Birth control is one way of abusing women by trying to protect the environ- ment, as well as passing on work. For example, using cloth diapers instead of disposable ones is better for the environ- ment, but puts more strain on women hav- ing to wash them. “And that has happened over and over in the world,” she said. She’s not saying don’t do these things to save the environment, but do them in an inclusive way, she said; there needs to be balance for women. As an Islamic woman, her research particularly focuses on women from that background. Her presentation at the United Nations dialogue illustrated how much in com- mon the Buddhist and Islamic faiths have regarding their religious beliefs pertaining to the earth. In Islamic law, the ultimate spiritual test isn’t just religious rituals, it’s what you’ve done with the earth, conservation and re- plenishing, protecting poor from disease, and responsible consumption, she said. “That is going to be a major issue in judging Muslims on doomsday,” she said, and added she backs it up with religious text. Look around, there are big signs that we need to do something about the envi- ronment and change our behaviour right now, she said. People need to rethink their daily decisions, such as what they buy, dry cleaning, driving and planting trees. “Every one of us counts on making a dif- ference here,” she said. Dr. Ammar has participated in previous United Nations conferences as well and worked on its principles of restorative jus- tice in Islamic law. submitted photo UOIT dean Dr. Nawal Ammar met with Buddhist monk, The Dharma Master Hsin Tao of Taiwan, while attending a United Nations dialogue in New York, at which she presented. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 22 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 1, 2008 Down on the farm, the times they are a-changin’ Area farmers talk about their constantly evolving market By Melissa Mancini mmancini@durhamregion.com DURHAM — To stay in business for years, successful entrepreneurs have to change with the times. Farming may not seem like an industry that is constantly reinventing itself, but farmers in Durham say it’s not just high- tech equipment that has changed their operations. “You can’t farm like you used to,” farm owner Valerie Linton said. “We have to change and keep up with our customers demand.” Ms. Linton and her husband, Ron, own Linton Farms on Raglan Road in Oshawa. The farm was bought by Mr. Linton’s par- ents in 1957 and has come a long way since the first days when the farm grew tomatoes for Campbell’s Soup. The Lintons started a pick-your-own vegetable operation in 1968. But recently they realized the best way to get custom- ers what they want is to get it for them. “People wanted it fresh, but they want- ed it pre-picked,” Ms. Linton said. So the Lintons expanded to 3,000 square feet of undercover space and put veg- etables out in bins to make produce shop- ping easier for their customers. The key to their continued success has been their flexibility and ability to cater to their market. It has also been trying to understand the human condition, Ms. Linton said. For example, people will pick strawberries, but they don’t want to pick tomatoes, even though tomatoes are much easier to pick, she said. The Lintons have 180 acres of mixed vegetables and 800 acres of corn, soy- beans and wheat. “We are a bit different of a farm in that our customer has to come to us to get our product,” Ms. Linton said. “We’re always kind of thinking ahead about how can we get our customer to come to us to get the product.” The trend toward local food, with move- ments like “buy local” and the 100-mile diet has helped the Lintons. Regular customers seem to appreciate the attention. Even on a Tuesday after- noon the Lintons’ outdoor market attracts shoppers. “They have the nicest produce,” regular customer May Peters said. “Much cheaper and you’re getting fresh produce.” Ms. Peters makes the trip up to Linton Farms a couple times a week, she said. A mantra of the farm has been “If we’re not going ahead we are falling behind,” Ms. Linton said. So in addition to adding more indoor sales space, the Lintons also incorporate many attractions to keep people coming up, including six acres of play area for the kids and a corn maze. But no matter how much they do to try to bring people out, there is always the inevitable and frustrating question on a busy Saturday, Ms. Linton said. The culprit inquiry: “How long have you been here?” Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Herbert Shillings from White Feather Farms speaks to visitors during the City of Oshawa’s annual farm tour, showcasing some of the farms in the area. Education Advertising Feature The Right Routines for Success Now that school is back in session, our chil- dren’s days are measured by the ringing of bells: alarm clocks in the morning, and schools bells at the start and end of class time. In the blink of an eye, the entire household has fallen into a routine. It’s important to be aware of your family’s ac- tions during these early days of the school year. Before you know it, your family has es- tablished a routine. Routines form quickly as we absent-mindedly go about living our lives— and developing a good routine is just as easy as falling into a bad one. Don’t fall into bad routines: not getting enough sleep, skipping breakfast, turning on the TV right after school or work, and leaving home- work until the last minute. Sit down as a family and have a discussion about what the morning and after school routines in your house will look like. Involve your kids in the decision-making. Consider hot button top- ics such as morning schedules, after school chores, homework and bed times. When everyone agrees on the schedule, you’ll avoid arguments and disagreements, and the schedule can become a routine. The ear- lier your family agrees on and es- tablishes a schedule, the sooner your house- hold will have an effective routine that runs smoothly. Sure, it might require some effort and plan- ning, but putting effort into establishing good routines in your home now, while the school year is still new, will help your family avoid bat- tles later on in the year. Homework Routines When it comes to homework time, a little orga- nization and strategic planning help to make homework time structured, so that kids know what to do, where to do it, and how to complete their homework on time. These 10 Homework Tips will help both you and your child estab- lish an after school routine that will transform homework from headache to hassle-free! • Set Up a Study Area—no distractions, dedicated to working. • Make Materials Available to the Home- work Zone— so no rummaging around. • Remove the Distractions— turn off the TV! • Set a Time Frame—after school or after dinner, stick to a schedule. • Offer Guidance—but don’t do the home- work for your child. • Use An Agenda— it’s the key organiza- tional tool for students. • Stay Informed—Talk to your child’s teach- er regularly. • Be a Role Model! — Set a good example; read, research, or do your homework. • Offer Praise—Be specifi c, and praise their efforts not their intelligence to build confi dence. • Watch Frustration Levels—if your child is feeling stressed then it’s time to seek help. Getting homework done is a routine part of school, just like eating lunch—but with a well- established homework routine, it doesn’t have to be the worst part.

Durham symphony orchestra moves to new digs Conductor Marco Parisotto of Ajax excited about new partnership with DC/UOIT By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Oshawa Durham Symphony Orchestra is changing keys this year. There’s a new day and a new venue and, even more important, an upgrade in the pro- grams. “There’s so much happening now,” said ar- tistic director and conductor Marco Parisotto. “The ODSO has the wind in its sails. It’s really moving forward.” Starting with the Oct. 3 concert, the first of the season, concerts will be held Friday nights at the DC/UOIT Campus Recreation and Wellness Centre, Simcoe Street North. There’s plenty of free parking and reserved seating. Parisotto said he’s excited about the part- nership with DC/UOIT and ODSO. “That’s just absolutely amazing,” he said. “It’s a winning combination all the way through. This is a vision which I’ve had.” In recent years, ODSO has performed its concerts in churches but, for various reasons, that’s not possible anymore, he said. “There still isn’t an entertainment venue or a performing arts venue in Durham. What’s the next best thing? The university. It’s a good, modern facility. It’s going to be entirely re- vamped into a real concert hall each time. “It’ll be the best thing we can have in Durham, no doubt. I dare to say, the best entertainment you can have in Dur- ham.” And he’s hoping the partnership will be so successful that a proper performing arts centre for Durham will be built since, as he pointed out, DC/UOIT needs a convocation hall. (Students at DC/UOIT will be able to get into concerts for $10 with their student cards.) ODSO is hoping the change of nights will be as popular as the reserved seating for sub- scription holders, which sold quickly, Pari- sotto said. The orchestra itself continues to improve, something Parisotto set as his goal when he arrived 12 years ago. “The artistic quality of the orchestra has been increasing and increasing. It’s the best thing around here and it’s comparable to or- chestras in large centres in Canada.” Now, he’s looking at making the orchestra membership more stable, with fewer changes in musicians. He has been auditioning 100 applicants and hopes to find and keep top- notch musicians for the long term. As for the program this season, it’s top- notch, too, he said. “Seriously, this puts the ODSO in the big leagues in terms of its repertoire and its solo- ists. It’s equal to any of the major city orches- tras -- Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary. We’re not an orchestra that plays every week but in terms of program and soloists, we’re at the top.” First up is the Oct. 3 concert, featuring so- loist Philippe Quint. Featured will be music from the movie, The Red Violin. Quint has recorded the music and his CD of it should be available at the concert. Quint is regarded as one of the best young violinists in the world, Parisotto said. (Quint made the headlines in April after leaving his $4-million Stradivarius violin in a New Jersey cab. It was returned to him by the cab driver the next day. The driver got a reward and a private recital for him and 30 other drivers by Quint.) On Nov. 21, cellist Eric Picard, a top French musician, joins the symphony. On the pro- gram are works by Beethoven and Strauss’s Don Quixote, a very difficult piece, Parisotto said. There’s more difficult music to play Feb. 13, 2009, when the symphony tackles Mahler’s fourth symphony and songs by Strauss. Opera star Hasmik Papian will perform. She’s sung in almost every opera house in the world. To celebrate the 150th anniversary of Puc- cini’s birth, ODSO will put on an Operafest on March 6, with New York Metropolitan Opera star, tenor Jose Luis Duval, and Natalia Voro- nokina, whom Parisotto “discovered” while conducting in Serbia. “I just couldn’t believe it. I was basically flabbergasted by her quality, her voice and her emotion.” While she’s not know outside of East Europe and Russia now, she soon will be, he said. “We have her here in Oshawa before any- one else.” The season winds up with a family concert on May 1, Around the World With Disney. Parisotto has chosen music from recent Dis- ney movies, including The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and Mulan, for this concert. He wants families to see “the great entertainment and the emotional value they’ll get from listening.” There will also be a multimedia presentation accompanying the music.

Prediction: “We have 10 players, Three-peat looms as big feat for Lady Cougars Third annual Notre Dame/News Advertiser Classic senior girls’ basketball tourney tips off Friday By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — After capturing the championship plaque twice in the previous two years of the Notre Dame/News Advertiser Classic se- nior girls’ basketball tournament, the Notre Dame Lady Cougars know a three-peat will be a tall order. The Notre Dame/News Advertiser Classic tips off on Friday with 12 teams -- up from eight a year ago -- on two fronts, with games at Notre Dame and at the Pickering High School gymnasiums. In addition to eight top Durham Region squads, the tournament also boasts four out-of-town teams from Mississauga (Mount Carmel), Etobicoke (Etobi- coke CI), Kingston (Holy Cross) and Ottawa (Merivale). Notre Dame coach Rose Booker noted this year’s third annual Clas- sic boasts the toughest draw ever, and will prove a stern test for her Lady Cougars, which boast a perfect 4-0 record thus far in Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) ‘AAAA’ league play and a Kingston tournament crown under their belt. “Off the top, the LOSSA teams are much stronger this year. Pickering High School is one of the top teams around. And, there are outside teams that are looking to play top competi- tion this year, so it’s a tough draw,” admitted Booker, the tournament organizer. Nonetheless, the goal, said Book- er, is to vie for a third consecutive championship on the Lady Cougars’ home court. “We know we’re in tough. Eto- bicoke just missed out on OFSAA (provincial championships) last year, and their whole team is back this year. Pickering is also good this year, too. We’re looking to get back to the championship game. “I would say Etobicoke, for sure (has a shot at the title) and Pine Ridge is strong, too. I haven’t seen (Father Leo J.) Austin (of Whitby) yet.” Lady Cougars’ co-captain and starting point guard Catherine Bou- goulias is certain the team is capable of holding court and capturing a third straight title. “It’s our own tournament and we have to defend our title. I don’t see any reason why we can’t win. We’re a strong team this year,” said Bou- goulias, a Grade 12 student. If anything, added Bougoulias, this year’s team is superior to the two previous Classic champion- ship-winning teams. “There was not a lot of change (to the Lady Cougars) this year. I think we’ve got- ten stronger. Overall, I think we’re a better team than we were last year.” This year’s Lady Cougars, noted Booker, is the deepest team she’s had in recent years. And, the team is younger as two Grade 9s, guards Brianna Thomas and Dakota Whyte, have been solid additions to the roster that also includes Grade 10 forward Shanika Baker. “We have a good mix this year,” she said, with the team continuing to be led by captains Bougoulias and standout 6-foot, 1-inch centre Nich- olle McKenzie. The Lady Cougars begin their quest for a third Classic tournament crown against Oshawa’s G.L. Roberts Lak- ers at Notre Dame on Friday at 10:30 a.m. Their sec- ond pool game of the day is at 4:30 p.m. against the Holy Cross Cru- saders from Kings- ton. Semifinal action is at Notre Dame on Saturday morning and early afternoon. The consolation championship game is at 4 p.m., fol- lowed by the championship contest at 5:30 p.m. There is a nominal admission charge to attend the games. Notre Dame is at 1375 Harwood Ave. N. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo The Notre Dame Lady Cougars senior girls’ basketball team is ready to defend its previous two titles at the Notre Dame/News Advertiser Classic tournament this weekend.

Pickering follows sloppy effort against Stars with gem against Lindsay By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — It was quite a produc- tive way for forward Tyler Von Englebre- chten to rejoin his Pickering Panthers’ teammates. Von Englebrechten, who joined the Panthers this season after coming over in a trade with the Markham Waxers con- summated last season, set up the tying goal and scored the overtime winner in Sunday’s remarkable 6-5 overtime victo- ry over the Lindsay Muskies in Lindsay. The forward’s goal came on the first shot, just 17 seconds into the five-minute extra frame, to lift the Panthers past the Ruddock Division-leading Muskies, who came into the game undefeated in four games on home ice. Most impressive for Von Englebrech- ten was that the Lindsay contest was his first game back this season after suffering an injury last February. “He played exceptionally well for a guy who hadn’t played since last February,” said Panthers’ head coach Bill Brady of the strapping 6-foot, 2-inch, 195-pound forward. “He’s a good kid who works hard and does what he’s asked to do. We were quite happy with him.” After a quick start against Lindsay, scoring two goals early in the first period, the Panthers gave it all back on two suc- cessive Muskie power-play markers later in the frame. The Panthers got the lead back, however, on Brandon Parks’ unas- sisted effort with 11 seconds remaining in the period. With the contest tied 4-4 after two pe- riods, the Muskies regained the lead early in the third. Panthers’ Jeff Broekema tied the game at 5-5 at the midway point of the period, scoring on the power play, with assists to Von Englebrechten and Greg Riggs. Sunday’s victory was in sharp contrast to a lacklustre effort on home ice against the Peterborough Liftlock Stars on Friday night. The Panthers were woefully out- shot (44-24) and thoroughly outplayed in a 5-1 loss at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Brady offered praise to the Stars, which were simply more willing to pay the price for victory. “Full credit to Peterborough. They did what they had to do. They outplayed us and they were hungry and wanted it more. They beat us fair and square.” The two weekend games for the Pan- thers were as disparate as they were re- vealing of a young and inexperienced Pickering team that’s still trying to find its way. For the Pickering coaches, however, the Jekyll-and-Hyde nature of their play so far has been a source of frustration. “It’s mindboggling how we can be so bad one day and so good the next. It’s a characteristic of this hockey team that’s been frustrating to deal with.” Brady said it’s about finding an identity for a team that’s integrating a number of new players this season, as well as devel- oping consistency in their play. “In the dressing room, they’re still try- ing to figure one another out. They’re still learning about each other. Also, I believe we’re inexperienced, so we’re talking about preparing and making a commit- ment to play and we’re starting to get there,” said Brady, adding newly acquired veterans Jeff Broekema and Eamonn Courtney are beginning to demonstrate the leadership they were brought in to provide.
