The home, which City staff found had a cross connection w ith its pipes, had a sewage backup during the storm Aug. 19. When Region and City staff went out investigate, they found the pipes had been hooked up wrong. Pickering chief executive offi- cer Tom Quinn said the affected home was fixed Tuesday, so the issue now becomes figuring out why the sewage backup hap- pened and if the pipes in any other homes in the area have the same problem. “There was a cross connection, but I don’t know if that was hap- pening all the time or if it was be- cause of a surcharge,” Mr. Quinn said. Wa rd 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner brought up the issue, which he learned about Sunday, in other business at Monday’s council meeting. He said he had a similar cross connection problem when he lived in the same subdivision 20 years ago, prompting him to wonder if the City was dealing with the worse-case scenario of all the pipes having been hooked up wrong for that phase of the subdivision. Mr. Quinn believes if that were the case, which would mean raw sewage has been making its way into Lake Ontario for 25 years, someone would have noticed sooner. “There would have been other issues,” he said. “I’m not led to believe that right now.” Mr. Quinn was to meet with senior staff, after which he said he would have more information and be able to update council on the situation.

With Hurricane Rita making its way toward Houston, Texas and a concentration of oil refin- eries, rumours of high gas prices were moving faster than wild fire Thursday afternoon, causing fear-driven lineups at some gas stations in Pickering and Ajax. “If gas hits $2 a litre, I’m clos- ing up shop and heading for the welfare office,” said Paul Wreglesworth as he pumped gas into a pickup truck, his total growing closer and closer to $105. The station, a Canadian Tire gas bar at Brock Road and Pickering Parkway, was charg- ing $1.03.9 per litre around 4:45 p.m. An employee there was un- able to comment on the validity of gas price rumours. Although Mr. Wreglesworth needed gas anyway, he heard on the radio gas was $1.70 cents a litre outside of Toronto. “And I’m being soaked to death right now,” he said. Owner of Rouge Valley Landscaping, Mr. Wreglesworth spends $400 a week in gas to run his small business. “I never thought I’d pay more for gasoline than I would for my mortgage,” Mr. Wreglesworth Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Cars were lining up at gas stations in Pickering yesterday as rumours of skyrocketing prices made their way across the GTA. Alas, sightings of more than $2 a litre were apparently rumours — but for how long?

Yo rk Regional Police were directed to body parts in Brock Township Tues- day evening after her neighbour turned himself in to police earlier in the day. “We believe the remains are those of Alicia Ross,” York police inspector Tom Carrique said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon. “As you can well appreciate, this is a very sensitive case that has ended trag- ically. Our thoughts and our prayers remain with the Fortis-Ross family as they deal with this tragedy,” added York Region Police Chief Armand La Barge. Daniel Sylvester, 31, has been charged with second-degree murder and appeared in Newmarket court Wednesday afternoon. Reporters were at the grisly scene where Ms Ross’s remains were found -- on Brock Township Concession 7, just south of Manilla -- Wednesday morn- ing, after a tip from a local resident. A solitary officer manning an unmarked police cruiser stood watch over the site for hours, before the story broke to other media outlets. According to Hank Ruttan, the clos- est resident to the scene, two or three police cruisers arrived in the area around 11 p.m. Tuesday night. “They’ve haven’t told us anything other than that they could be here as long as two or three days,” he said. In addition to the crime scene in Brock Township, York police also sealed off the house next door to the Ross family home. Ms. Ross vanished Aug. 16 from the Bronte Road house she shared with her family, after spending the evening at home burning CDs and shooting pool with her boyfriend, 29-year-old Sean Hine. Her mother, Sharon Fortis, said she last saw her daughter at around 11 p.m. in her downstairs bedroom. -- With files from the Toronto Star. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 23, 2005 PAGE 3 A/P Aziza from AJAX READY… SET… SCHOOL CONTEST!

Mr. Wreglesworth said he thinks the increase is a scare tactic and accused the federal government of working with the oil companies to squeeze everything they can out of consumers. At a pump nearby, Ashley White was squeezing every last drop she could into her Buick car. With just under a quarter tank of gas be- fore she pulled up to the pumps, the meter stopped at $59, but she slowly forced it up to $63. “My mom told me to (fill up),” said the 18-year-old. “At 6 a.m. she told me to get to the gas station be- cause of Rita.” If it does hit $2 a litre, she won’t be driving anymore. By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — A new partner- ship has Pickering seeing green in more ways than one. Monday night council approved an agreement that puts recycling bins on city streets and some money in the City’s coffers. Creative Outdoor Advertising is to provide the bins, which it will also empty and maintain. For each bin the City receives $125 annually for a minimum of five years. “O ne of the things I think is very exciting about this venture is a) it addresses something residents have been asking for: having a receptacle for recycling; secondly, we had a lot of complaints pertaining to gar- bage throughout various parts of our city, by bringing this forward I think it’s leading by example,” said Ward 1 Regional Councillor Mau- rice Brenner. He added it would reduce the amount of garbage that gets thrown out in Pickering. Each bin is to display advertising approved by the City and Pickering is to have access for advertising or public service messages on 10 per cent of the available space. “It puts in place an opportunity for revenue,” Coun. Brenner said. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean also supported the agree- ment. He said it would help educate people about litter and recycling. “We’ve talked about litter in these chambers,” he said. “This is a very proactive approach we’ve taken here to find an alternative to litter.” Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson said Whitby implemented this already and the councillors there are happy. “This project is something I’ve been waiting a long time for,” he said. Coun. Johnson said this could be a project implemented across Dur- ham Region if a few municipalities are already using it. “It’s a good step in the right di- rection. Any way we can get litter off our streets,” he said, adding it looks after waste and gets a return for taxpayers. Staff is to draft a list for council of potential locations where the bins could go. Several council- lors mentioned the waterfront as a location where they would like to see one; it passed unanimously.

Although she was in her 60s and had a family his- tory of heart disease, the Ajax resident said it never occurred to her that those symptoms could be linked to her heart -- she simply thought it was stress. “I didn’t know the signs, I was in denial,” she says. “I thought pain in the left arm was something to worry about and mine was in my right. I thought the burning in my chest was just heart- burn.” The gravity of the situ- ation didn’t hit home for Ms. Maxwell until her fam- ily doctor ordered an an- giogram after a suspicious EKG, and she found herself being whisked to hospital for emergency triple bypass surgery. “I had two completely blocked arteries and I wasn’t even aware of it,” she says, still in disbelief. “The cardi- ologist said I could have just been carrying groceries one day, and collapsed.” To day it’s been almost three years since her sur- gery, and Ms. Maxwell has adopted a healthier lifestyle that includes nutritious eat- ing and regular walks out- doors and on a treadmill. She is especially looking forward to this weekend’s Cheerios Heart and Stroke Mother Daughter Walk. The annual event takes place in communities across Ontario, with all proceeds going to the Heart and Stoke Foundation. This will be the third year that Ms. Maxwell has walked with her two daughters and 13-year-old granddaughter. Dr. Betty Hrycyshyn has worked as a cardiologist at the Oshawa Clinic for 25 years, and says public awareness initiatives like the walk are extremely important, because of the misconceptions that many women have about cardio- vascular disease. “A lot of women think they are at a higher risk of dying of breast cancer, but cardiovascular disease is a much higher risk,” she says. “It’s important for women to recognize the symptoms and lower their risk by exer- cising, eating properly and not smoking. According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, more women than men are now dying of heart disease, making it the leading cause of death for women in Can- ada. Last year, more than 40,000 women in this coun- try died from heart disease or stroke. Dr. Hrycyshyn says women over age 50 should be particularly aware of symptoms that come with stress and exertion, such as shortness of breath, pain, fatigue, or burning in the throat and chest. As women are often the primary health monitors for their husbands and chil- dren, she says they should also aim to buy and prepare healthy food and encourage exercise for the whole fam- ily. The Cheerios Heart and Stroke Mother Daughter Walk takes place in Durham on Sunday, Sept. 25. Check- in time is 8 a.m. at Rotary Park in Ajax and the walk starts at 10 a.m. Participants can walk 2 km, 4 km or 6 km. To register or pledge on- line, visit www.heartand- stroke.ca/walk.

NEWS A DVERTISER There’s lots more news online at durhamregion.com Read up at infodurhamregion.com P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 23, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR We must make the case for hospital expansion By all accounts, Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital has plenty to celebrate in its 50-plus years of existence. Many milestones, much growth, and countless lives changed forever. But, staff and residents have every right to be frustrated these days as well. Because if one single thing has marked the last few years at Rouge Valley it is that it has more than demonstrated a need for extensive expansion. Hospital officials have delivered the facts to the public (consider that the emergency department was built to care for 20,000 people annually but serves double that); went to the community and received commitments for $20.7 million toward expansion; and have pulled together detailed plans for what the project will look like. Despite all this, we’re still waiting for word from the Province on whether that expansion can begin. Let’s be clear here, without an announcement soon, we risk throwing plenty of work out the window. Without provincial ap- proval by early spring, construction can’t begin in 2006 and that means a reworking of plans and escalating construction costs -- and we know who will bear those. The Province, to be fair, has many more project proposals than dollars. And across Ontario many communities believe their project to be a necessity. It’s hard to imagine, however, a more compelling case than here in Ajax. In essence, Rouge Valley is exactly what the Prov- ince should be looking for in capital projects: a fully committed organization that is a partner in every sense of the word, not a group coming to the government cap in hand. Starting next week and in the coming months, the News Advertiser will be running a series of stories looking at the state of the hospital and the real need for expansion. There are many stories, many examples of why the time is right now. Residents across the community have a role to play, too. Your collective voices must be heard. Write to Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Wayne Arthurs and tell him his Liberal government should be tripping over itself to work with our community on this project. Write to Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty and urge that the Conservatives push for the project from the opposition benches. Finally, write to Health Minister George Smitherman and David Caplan, minister of public infrastructure renewal, and tell them all the reasons why this project must be a go. Ajax, Pickering and Whitby residents built our hospital, dedi- cating untold hours to its growth over the last 50 years. Once again, they can be the difference makers as the hospital moves into the vital next phase of its existence. Speak now, at this critical point, and tell our government our time for expansion has come. Slow down, save gas and money To the editor As fuel economy is on almost everyone’s mind, I’d like to point out a few observations. The first is that idling for longer than 10 seconds wastes more fuel than restarting the engine. If you have to wait for any length of time, turning your engine off will save you money. Most speed limits on highways are designed for fuel efficiency as well as safety. Driving at speeds higher than 110 km/h on Hwy. 401 means that you’re gaining time by sacrific- ing your fuel economy. Planning your trip to allow for a slower speed and small delays will save money as well as frustration. J.R.

Headway finally being made on airport issues A ll is not quiet on the airport front in Pickering. The past 10 months have seen the Greater Toronto Airports Author- ity release its plan to build a $2 billion regional reliever on the federal airport lands; Transport Canada and Public Wo rks demolish about 25 structures on the land, as well as issue a dozen evic- tion notices; and MP Mark Holland, newly elected in June 2004, become the voice for the people trying to stop the airport and save their community. Others have lent their assistance over the years -- setting up a stake- holders’ forum in the late ’90s -- or advocating for the federal government to stop the demolitions and to leave the homes tenanted. But the residents and those in groups such as VOCAL or LandOverLandings, describe Mr. Hol- land as “a breath of fresh air” when it comes to this issue. Granted, his ability to make headway could be attributed to him being a federal politician with a direct line to the people making the decisions, but it is also because he un- derstands the concerns of residents. They feel as though there is someone listening to them who is trying to affect change. When buildings were being demol- ished in February, local councillors were on scene to try to stop it, but, un- fortunately, they had no authority. Mr. Holland got on his cellphone to try to get through to Transport Minister Jean Lapierre’s office on a Friday afternoon to try to get the demolitions ceased. Earlier this month, Mr. Lapierre announced the government would be doing a due diligence review of the GTAA’s proposal, something local councillors, residents and Mr. Holland were pushing for. And rumour has it more good news announcements are on the way. Many on the opposition side of this issue understand Mr. Holland doesn’t have absolute power when it comes to whether an airport will be built or not, but he’s given them hope nevertheless. They have fought this issue for a long time and they’re tired, now they have someone with some power who is fighting alongside them. Mr. Holland recently visited Picker- ing council, where numerous council- lors said they were glad to hear Mr. Lapierre’s announcement. They also said they wanted the City’s opinion on this issue to be heard. Mr. Holland said he welcomes their feedback -- based on his record over the past year they have no reason to doubt he’ll listen to their concerns, too.

Holland listened and took action Danielle Milley staff writer EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com Hit the trail in Ajax on Saturday By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer DURHAM — Kelly Mc- Clatchey is trying to make something good out of something terrible. On the 10th anniversary of the stillbirth of her son Stephen, Ms. McClatchey is holding a fundraising run, with the proceeds going to the Perinatal Bereavement Services Ontario (PBSO). On Sept. 26, 1995, Ste- phen was stillborn at the then Ajax-Pickering Gen- eral Hospital (it’s now part of the Rouge Valley Health System). His death was caused by a heart defect. Ms. McClatchey says fol- lowing Stephen’s death, she turned to the PBSO for support. “It’s the first time I’ve done this. It’s a one-off. I wanted to do something special because Stephen would have been 10 this year,” she notes. “I’m hoping to raise about $5,000. That’s my tar- get.” The fundrais- ing run is Satur- day, Sept. 24 at Rotary Park on Lake Driveway on the Ajax wa- terfront. Registration is at 9 a.m. and the event starts at 10 a.m. Ms. McClatchey says she’s advertised the event in her church’s newslet- ter. “Friends and family have de- cided to come out. There are people involved in the charity,” she adds. She’s also put a posting on the Running Room website and has gift certificates from the store. There’s a $25 registra- tion fee, which includes a T-shirt. In her speech Ms. Mc- Clatchey plans to give, she says, “Ten years after Ste- phen’s death, I am able to appreciate the impact that his short life has had on me and how he has enriched my life just as much as the presence of my daughter Victoria. “His presence will be felt for the rest of my life. To be able to stand here and understand that, doesn’t take away the sadness and sense of loss that (her husband) Jimmy and I feel each and every day.” To register, call the PBSO at 905-472-1807 or toll-free at 1-888-301-7276.

By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM — A new strike deadline of Sept. 27 has been set between the Ca- nadian Auto Workers Union (CAW) and General Motors (GM) and preliminary discussions puts the future of the $2.5 billion Beacon Project into question. Wo rkers could take to the picket line at midnight on Sept. 27 if a deal cannot be reached, said Chris Buckley, chief negotiator and president of Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) Local 222, which represents Oshawa employees. While the CAW has settled contracts with both Ford and DaimlerChrysler using a pattern agreement, GM has told the CAW the company cannot financially meet the contract without cost offsets. And that could involve the coveted Beacon Project, a plan to upgrade man- ufacturing and research in Oshawa. “I’m very, very disappointed the Bea- con announcement... has now been placed on the table as a type of carrot in these negotiations,” Mr. Buckley said, calling the move offensive. “They made a commitment.” GM executives will not say which parts of Beacon could be effected by contract talks, but the only part of the project not started is the flexible manu- facturing system, Mr. Buckley said. “We will take nothing less than the pattern (contract),” he said. “They want a number of things in return to meet the pattern. But we are not going to enter into a concessionary agreement.” With more active and retired employ- ees than either Ford or DaimlerChrys- ler, the pattern agreement gives gains on pensions, wages and benefits. The last CAW strike was in 1996, when GM refused to accept the pattern contract. Employees were on the picket line for 22 days. -- With files from Torstar News Service GM workers in Durham could walk out Sept. 27 Celia Klemenz/ News Advertiser photo So happy together AJAX — Justin and sister Mikaila Frizzell recently found some time together on the playground at Rotary Park. DURHAM — Pamela Verhagen knows only too well how impor- tant support is for those living with Huntington’s disease. The Oshawa resident is among the one out of every 1,000 Canadi- ans who is in some way touched by the disease, which is an inherited brain disorder with devastating ef- fects on mind and body. Ms. Verhagen’s husband began to show some physical and cogni- tive changes in the mid-1990s, and by 2000, it was unsafe for him to continue working or driving. He and his wife have managed to keep up to date on new studies and drug trials, and he has, with permission of his neurologist, used several new drugs with limited success. To help her cope, Ms. Verhagen has relied on both her faith, and a local support group. “In Durham, we are very fortu- nate in that we have a very loving support group. We meet once every two months with a nurse and a so- cial worker from the HD Society,” she said. At each meeting, the group splits in two, with those with Huntington’s going to one room, and caregivers in another. “This is our time to listen, or un- load our cares confidentially, catch up on society news, or find strate- gies for coping,” said Ms. Verhagen, the local representative for the Hun- tington’s Society of Canada. The group met for the first time this season on Thursday, Sept. 22. “We are a very caring, knowledge- able group who seek to bring en- couragement and to answer ques- tions of caregivers and those with Huntington’s,” said Ms. Verhagen, noting caregivers also meet once a month for breakfast or dinner to share strategies.

The rally will take place at Iroquois Park Sports Complex, 500 Victoria St. W., beginning at 2 p.m. It will include entertainment and speakers who will talk about impact volunteering has on the surrounding community. “The purpose of the rally is not to be critical of any organizations or individuals,” said resource centre executive director Nancy Burke. “Rather, it is designed to encourage volunteerism and to raise awareness of our organization in a very positive way.” The Volunteer Resource Centre for Durham Region provides volunteer recruitment and referral services to people wanting to volunteer, in ad- dition to non-for-profit organizations in need of volunteers. It has been in operation for five years. For more information about the rally, call Nancy Burke at 905-436-2035 or e-mail nburke@volunteerdurham. org.

That was Aaron Vegh’s thinking when he entered the contest to create Durham Region Transit’s new logo. It’s the main feature of his winning design, unveiled at Tuesday’s regional Transit Im- plementation Committee meet- ing at Durham headquarters in Whitby. “My concept is really around speed, because you want it to be fast,” Mr. Vegh said in an inter- view. “And I chose the colours green and black for an environ- mental feeling.” He received $250 and a 2006 Durham transit pass for winning the contest that attracted 518 submissions from 175 designers. Mr. Vegh entered two designs and believes the better one was picked. A Hamilton-born Whitby resi- dent, Mr. Vegh entered the com- petition on the last day of eligibil- ity after his wife, Erin, saw a con- test poster and suggested he give it a shot. The 32-year-old runs his own business, HyperEleven, an e-marketing company that designs Web and e-commerce sites. Mr. Vegh says designing a logo isn’t difficult, but creating the right logo is a challenge. Nor- mally, one would consult with the client to get some ideas. But Mr. Vegh didn’t have that oppor- tunity. Enter the swoosh. The circular line depicts speed, but also refers to the circuitous nature of a bus route, he explains. “My thinking was, when in doubt, add a swoosh,” he says. “Everybody loves a swoosh.” If you’re wondering, Mr. Vegh drives, including twice a week to his office in Mississauga. He says he never really thought of using local transit before, but will prob- ably make use of his free pass. Sherri Munns-Audet, Durham Region’s corporate communica- tions manager, says at least one submission was received from a resident of every Durham munic- ipality. As well, regional employ- ees, transit workers, professional graphic designers and students from Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Te chnology entered the contest. A unified, regional transit sys- tem comes on line in Durham on Jan. 1. P PAGE 16 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 23, 2005 durhamregion.com AMBERLEA PLAZA 1822 Whites Rd.

All because Beth wanted to go play bingo with her sister. “You just can’t imagine it. You never think it’s in real life,” said the 51-year-old who now lives in Oshawa. But, it was Beth’s life of terror for 16 years of marriage that did not end until her ex- husband died of cancer three years ago. Although she left him that night, he never left her. Despite restraining orders, he’d show up wherever she was and sit in a parked van with a loaded gun. “He just sort of stayed in the background, just enough for me to know he was there,” Beth said. “I was always watching over my shoulder.” For those who work with domestic vio- lence victims, Beth’s story is extreme, but not as rare as one would think. And the scariest part is that most incidents go unre- ported. “Research says before a woman comes forward, there has had to be at least 30 in- cidents in the home,” said Detective Cathy Bawden, the domestic violence co-ordi- nator with the Durham police. “And that doesn’t only mean physical abuse. That’s emotional as well.” Durham police respond to 3,200 domes- tic calls a year, which means eight to nine calls every day. Around 90 per cent of the assaults are done by men on women. The rest are a mix of both parties fighting, and females assaulting men. The majority of cases also involve chil- dren. “No child should be raised in an environ- ment where their parents are screaming and yelling,” Det. Bawden said. “Any child just listening to that is experiencing emo- tional abuse.” And abuse, sadly, has many faces -- some that aren’t always as visible as a black eye, but are just as horrific, said Sandra Mc- Cormack, executive director of Oshawa’s Denise House. Sexual, emotional, psychological, finan- cial abuse -- all of these are ways women are controlled by their partners or even caregivers. They can hurt just as much as a slap, but are not chargeable offences under the Criminal Code. Ms. McCormack pointed to an 82-year- old woman who recently came to the shel- ter and had been found living in horren- dous conditions with no food, no running water, completely neglected. “While there was no physical abuse, that certainly qualifies as abuse,” she said. “Women come here experiencing a whole host of circumstances in their lives. “When they’re in a position of being controlled and not allowed to have the basic necessities, and going through emo- tional name-calling and put downs, they feel the need to break free of that.” The 27-bed facility houses almost 400 women and children a year, plus an- swers 3,000 calls to its 24-hour crisis line and does outreach programming to 450 women who have moved out or aren’t in a position to leave their homes. Victims are as young as 16. For many abuse survivors, espe- cially those with children, breaking free will also mean having to go to court. “The primary issue when there’s a power and control imbalance is it’s not going to be settled between me- diation or friendly deci- sions,” said Carol Bark- well, executive direc- tor of Luke’s Place, a free legal resource centre for women in Oshawa. “It’s usu- ally between litiga- tion.” Pursuing a part- ner through the court has its own pros, cons and challenges, Ms. Barkwell said. While women are forced to frequently face their abusers - - and many men take advantage of the sys- tem to do that -- it can be the only way to fairly resolve issues such as child custody and asset division. “Their primary focus is usually the safety and settle- ment of their children,” she said of survivors. “In order to do that, women will often give up on property issues” and other rights they didn’t know they had if they’d gone through court. Fighting through court can take months -- even years -- while legal fees pile up and investments and assets depreciate in value. “Many women who have been living a middle class or professional life find them- selves living in a much more compromised position until their issues are settled,” Ms. Barkwell said. That can mean having to go on social assistance just to make ends meet. Durham’s growing multicultural com- munity is raising new challenges around domestic violence for the agencies and po- lice. While some of the highest number of domestic police incidents come from Pick- ering, the vast majority are not reported, said Esther Enyolu, executive director of the free and confidential Women’s Multi- cultural Resource and Counselling Centre in Pickering. “We like to protect,” she said. “We might feel that reporting violence is exposing them to more discrimination. That society says, ‘That’s what those people are like.’ “But there can be backlash when a woman calls the police. The community ostracizes her, talks rubbish about her.” There can also be a risk of deportation if a woman, her husband and children are waiting for permanent status and are seek- ing asylum from their home countries, she added. The majority of women the centre sees are of colour, immigrants or refugees, Ms. Enyolu said. Around 130 sought help in the last year. Two programs are working to change the silence around domestic abuse: one targets young women, teaching them that violence is wrong and how to prevent it, while the other is all about equality in relationships, training community, religious and group leaders. “It will take whole community involve- ment to solve the problem,” Ms. Enyolu said. “Women’s groups alone cannot.” Det. Bawden and her partner are work- ing on a monthly drop-in centre that will bring together all the abuse help groups in Durham under one roof for a few hours to do just that. It should be running before the end of the year. “The biggest message is to get (victims) to step forward and trust us when they call. We’re here to help them,” said Det. Bawden. “Sometimes it’s a big step to make, and it’s a life-changing step.” But it’s a necessary step if you’re living with violence in your home. “Home should be paradise: happy, peace- ful, not where you live with constant stress and danger.” *name has been changed Next month: Specialized services newsdurhamregion.com search keyword: handinhand Hand In Hand This is the ninth in a 12-part series looking at Durham’s social services and the people served Breaking free from abuse Durham police respond to 3,200 domestic calls a year, which means eight to nine calls every day.

A purchase and sale agreement was reached early in 2005, but the transaction was subject to ap- proval by the Ontario Energy Board. The Energy Board granted its ap- proval on Sept. 16th. “We are pleased with the Energy Board’s decision, and look forward to bringing Veridian service to Graven- hurst,” says John Mutton, Chair of Veridian’s Board of Directors. “Our agreement with the Town of Gravenhurst includes a number of important commitments to customer service, and we are working to put these into effect as quickly as pos- sible.” Ve r idian is the seventh largest municipally owned local electric- ity distribution company in On- tario. It is cur- rently made up to seven prede- cessor utilities with serve areas stretching along Lake Ontario from Pickering to Belleville, and north to Lake Simcoe. Upon closing of the purchase and sale agreement, Gravenhurst Hydro’s nearly 6,000 customers will push the number of electricity distribu- tion customers served by Veridian to just over 103,000. In addition, the transaction also includes the sale of Gravenhurst Energy Services Inc., a company that operated about 1,200 rental water heater customers. As part of the agreement, Veridian has pledged to retain Gravenhurst Hydro’s existing utility operations centre, and to make important new investments in distribution system automation equipment. Representa- tives from the Town of Gravenhurst, will regularly meet with senior Verid- ian staff to address local issues relat- ed to system reliability, rates, service and community involvement. Ve r idian’s President and CEO Mi- chael Angemeer, is confident that the transition to Veridian will be seam- less for customers. “Our new customers can expect a continued commitment to safety, reliability and service,” he says, “And, with the growing scale of our opera- tions, we will be able to deliver this improved service while maintaining very competitive distribution rates.” John Mutton Energy board OKs newest addition to Veridian Ajax, Pickering utility picks up Gravenhurst A/P PAGE 20 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 23, 2005 durhamregion.com A million dollar ideaA million dollar idea is in the bag...is in the bag... thanks to you!thanks to you! Over the past 10 years, the Pickering Town Centre Mayors’ Charity Classic has raised nearly $1.4 million for the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation. That’s a lot of extra funding for areas such as cardiology, emergency and surgery. Our sponsors, golfers and the many generous shoppers who contributed to the change boxes located at participating mall retailers enabled us to raise $174,000 this year alone. Funds from the event will purchase 11 vital signs monitors for the Emergency department at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital, as well as equipment for the Cardiac Rehabilitation Unit that will allow patients to transmit results from portable cardiac event monitors directly to Rouge Valley via an ordinary phone line. Thank you to everyone involved in this year’s Pickering To wn Centre Mayors’ Charity Classic. Your contribution will help ensure the residents of west Durham continue to receive the best possible healthcare—right here in our own community. This year’s event raised an incredible $174,000 for the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation.

But if you are like many people, cold feet can plague you through the cooler months. Is your heating system the problem? Fo rced air heating systems work by heating air and circulating it throughout your home through a system of ducts. Because warm air rises, this system leaves the space above the fl oor up to fi ve degrees cooler than the rest of the room and the circulating air can create a drafty feeling. This may be the cause of cold feet and inadequate comfort of your home. A hydronic home heating system, and specifi cally radiant fl oor heating, can be the answer to this problem. Hydronics works by delivering warmed water to all areas of your home, either through radiators or a radiant fl oor heating system. In a radiant fl oor system, heat is delivered to the room through tubing under the fl ooring that gently warms the fl oor and then radiates the heat up into the room. The fl oor is warm enough to have bare feet all year long, and as the heat rises, the entire room is warmed to your comfort level. Because radiant heating warms solid objects and not air, the ceiling becomes the coolest part of the room. Radiant fl oor systems are often installed in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements, anywhere solid surface fl ooring is installed, or where there is a concrete pad under the fl ooring. Imagine not stepping onto a cold bathroom, kitchen, or basement fl oor in the morning! What luxury! With full- height ceilings made possible by the elimination of furnace ductwork, imagine the usable living space that the basement would become. Through the use of radiant fl oor heating, hydronics offers simple, comfortable and luxurious solutions to creating a warm environment that keeps your toes cozy and your home welcoming and comfortable.

Durham Continuing Edu- cation had 3,300 students attend its secondary pro- grams this summer, a 10 per cent increase from 2004, and 1,159 students partici- pated in elementary ones, says an information report presented to the Durham District School Board at its Sept. 19 meeting. Of the secondary school students, 98 per cent successfully completed accelerated full-credit, remedial credit recovery, academic upgrading, literacy numeracy and co-operative education courses. Elemen- tary students participated in remedial literacy and numeracy for Grade 7 and 8 students, one-to-one tutor- ing and Getting Ready for High School. New for 2005 was Summerstock, a two credit summer course on the arts. Student trustee Kiyoko Fu- jimura was one of 63 partici- pants in the program, which concluded with their perfor- mance of ‘Guys and Dolls’ at Parkwood in Oshawa and Dundas Square in Toronto. “We only got two weeks of summer, but it was the best summer of my life so thank you for supporting this program,” said Kiyoko. Adaptable school honoured DURHAM — Staff at Sir William Stephenson P.S. in Whitby was recognized with the 2005 Bruce Mather Award for successfully merging two schools. The Durham District School Board presented the award to Stephenson staff at its Sept. 19 board meet- ing for establishing a new school community by bring- ing together R.A. Hutchison and Kathleen Rowe Memo- rial public schools. Staff was nominated by the school’s community council, parents and teach- ers. Accompanying the recognition is $300 for the school. Board looks short-term for initiative DURHAM — To sup- port the Ministry of Educa- tion’s ‘Good Places to Learn Initiative’, Durham District School Board needs short- term credit. Earlier in the year, the ministry approved more than $34 million in renewal projects for the board under its the initia- tive. According to a report submitted by Ed Hodgins, superintendent of education and business, the ministry has asked boards to use short-term financing to fund the projects and the gov- ernment will cover interest costs. The $2.5-million an- nual grant Durham receives through the initiative is supposed to support the debenture to pay for $34 million in projects until the Province has developed long-term financing for all of the Good Places to Learn projects, said Mr. Hodgins during the Sept. 19 school board meeting. Students camp out against racism DURHAM — By going to camp this week, Dur- ham students are working toward the protection of human rights and social harmony in schools and communities. From Sept. 19 to 23, Students Together Against Racism (STAR) holds its 13th annual camp at the Ontario Educational Leader- ship Centre near Orillia. Staff and students from 30 Durham schools in Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa and Port Perry are attending the camp where 25 senior secondary school students assist in delivering the leadership program, which addresses bullying, harassment, bias, preju- dice, discrimination and human rights issues. Those attending are from Grade 7 to 10. School board can borrow millions DURHAM — If need be, the Durham District School Board can borrow up to $60 million this year, trustees decided this week. A resolution passed during the Sept. 19 board meeting allows money to be borrowed when required to meet cash flow needs for expenditures and short- term financing for capital projects. The amount that can be borrowed is the same as in previous years. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 23, 2005 PAGE 25 A/P Own an Original Landscape with a $20,000 Advantage nationalhomes.com *Ask sales representative for details.

Pickering’s Mohan Goel has plenty to say about teachers’ strike By Jason Chamberlain Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — The strife and conflict of crossing the picket line during the Ontario teachers’ strike of 1997 left Mohan Goel with plenty to say. And now, eight years later, he’s ready to say it. “It’s taken me that long to write it,” says the Pickering resident of his new book, ‘The Blue Ribbon Te acher Story.’ The novel follows the life of protagonist Madhu Narain, who works as an adver- tising copywriter until he discov- ers his love for teaching. His ca- reer is almost at an end in 1997 when he makes the controversial choice to side with his students over his colleagues during the biggest teachers’ strike to date in North America. It’s not just a story for Mr. Goel. Though the names are changed, the tale is heavily influenced by his experiences. “I was one of a handful of teachers who didn’t support it,” he said. As for why, it’s simple. “I made a promise to my students, and I love teach- ing.” He was encouraged in his stance by the large contingent of parents who vocally supported the Ontario government’s stance against the strike. His choice came with con- sequences once the strike was finished. “I had two months left until retirement, and they were tough. My colleagues wouldn’t talk to me,” he said. Once he retired, he started writing the book, which proved difficult. “This has been one of the most challenging things I’ve done. It took seven years to research and write, and I spent a lot of days grappling with what I wanted to say,” he said. Though the story is heavily biographical, the choice to write it as a novel came easily. “The only problem with a biography or a memoir is that I couldn’t say some of the things I wanted to without being taken to court,” he said. Free of those restraints within a work of fiction, he craft- ed Madhu’s journey to reflect his own, from the beginning of his life in India, to studying journal- ism at the University of Oregon, to the start of his teaching career in Canada in 1970. “It takes you all over,” he said. “It has humour, and drama. It will entertain everybody.” Looking back on the experi- ence of writing it, Mr. Goel is happy with the results. “It was a very exciting experience. I found I had a good message, and a good story. It needed to be told.” Copies of the book can be or- dered at amazon.com or can be ordered at Civic Books and Coles in the Pickering Town Centre. Copies can also be ordered by calling Goel at 905-837-8029. Personal experiences flow into city man’s ‘biographical’ book Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Pickering resident Mohan Goel published a book of his experiences during the teachers’ strike in 1997.

Johnny Depp weds, sort of, in ‘Corpse Bride’ The following movies open in theatres this weekend: Flightplan Director: Robert Schwentke Starring: Jody Foster, Peter Sars- gaard, Sean Bean Rated: PG-13 Flying at 40,000 feet in a cavern- ous, state-of-the-art 474 aircraft, Ky le Pratt (Foster) faces every mother’s worst nightmare when her six-year-old daughter, Julia, vanishes without a trace mid-flight from Berlin to New York. Already emotionally devas- tated by the unexpected death of her husband, Kyle desperately struggles to prove her sanity to the disbelieving flight crew and pas- sengers while facing the very real possibility that she may be losing her mind. While neither Captain Rich (Bean), nor Air Marshal Gene Car- son (Sarsgaard) want to doubt the bereaved widow, all evidence indi- cates that her daughter was never on board, resulting in paranoia and doubt among the passengers and crew of the plane. Finding herself desperately alone, Kyle can only rely on her own wits to solve the mystery and save her daughter. Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride Featuring the voices of: Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Emily Watson, Albert Finney Director: Tim Burton Rated: PG Set in a 19th century European village, this stop-motion, animat- ed feature follows the story of Vic- tor (Depp), a young man who is whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious Corpse Bride (Bonham Carter), while his real bride, Victoria (Watson), waits bereft in the land of the living. Though life in the Land of the Dead proves to be a lot more co- lourful than his strict Victorian up- bringing, Victor learns that there is nothing in this world, or the next, that can keep him away from his one true love. A History of Violence Director: David Cronenberg Starring: Viggo Mortensen, Maria Bello Rated: R Tom Stall (Mortensen) is a pillar of a small-town community who runs a diner and lives a happy and quiet life with his wife (Bello) and two children. But their lives are forever changed when Stall thwarts an attempted robbery and is lauded as a hero by the media, attracting the attention of some mobsters (William Hurt and Ed Harris) who believe he is someone else. Also opening today is ‘Roll Bounce’, ‘Oliver Twist’.

First win a close one for Ajax Attack Goulby records three assists against former Legionaires’ mates By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — The Oshawa Legion- aires’ loss was clearly the Ajax Attack’s gain with the arrival of forward Ryan Goulby. Goulby came over to the Attack from the Legionaires in a cash deal and paid immediate dividends for Ajax, which was at the Oshawa Civic Auditorium to play the Le- gionaires in OHA Ontario Provin- cial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League ac- tion on Tuesday night. The forward counted three as- sists in pacing the Attack (1-2-0-0) to their first victory of the young OPJAHL season, 6-5. On a dubious note, the Ajax juniors are just one victory short of equalling the win output of last season. Attack head coach Carey Du- rant says in addition to Goulby’s offensive skills, he also brings a big physical presence. Last year, Goulby got in 10 games with the Ontario Hockey League’s Oshawa Generals. “He adds more size to our team and when that happens everyone else grows a bit, too,” he says. The outcome of Tuesday’s game, however, was in doubt up until the last four minutes when James Formosa scored the winner, with Lenny Ancona assisting. Durant says his charges simply outworked Oshawa, and played with more heart than they had in their two previous contests. “I’m happy for the kids,” he says. “They’ve been working hard for the last little while. I’m happy we were able to pull out a win this early in the year. Oshawa, like Ajax, didn’t have a very good season last year, so every time we beat Oshawa, it’s a step toward the playoffs. “We finally showed some char- acter. The guys competed hard.” Goulby wasn’t the only one to produce offensively. Brandon Bartlett, who joined the Attack after playing for the Scarborough Bruins ‘AAA’ juveniles last season, netted a pair of goals. With the six goals, the Attack ramped up what had been a pop- gun offence to this point in the season, scoring two goals, while giving up 10 in back-to-back losses to the Markham Waxers. In three games at the OHA Junior Tour- nament in Vaughan, the Attack scored only two goals. And, the Attack power play also connect- ed for three power-play markers, after going 0-for-11 in their loss to Markham Sunday. In addition to Goulby, the At- tack also added Adrian Gallardo to the roster. Last year’ Gallardo played high school hockey with Brother Andre of Markham. The Attack have lost the services of defenceman Donald Sanderson for up to six weeks after suffering a separated shoulder in the team’s home opener against Markham on Sunday. The Attack travels to Missis- sauga to play at the annual Gov- ernors’ Showcase slate of games at Erin Mills Twin Rinks Arena to- night (Friday) against the Brama- lea Blues. The Attack is at the Ajax Community Centre on Sunday af- ternoon against the Couchiching Te rriers at 3 p.m. On Monday, the Ajacians play in Vaughan against the Vipers at 7:15 p.m. SCORING SUMMARY Period 1 Ajax - Michael Aiello (Ryan Goulby, Keegan McFarlane) 0:45 Oshawa - Luke Carson (Dan Larocque) 2:44 Oshawa - Dan Larocque (power- play) (Joel Weber, Luke Carson) 8:12 Period 2 Ajax - Brandon Bartlett (power play) (Ryan Goulby, Ryan Madden) 1:07 Oshawa - Andrew Alarie (Jason Ke nnedy, Jonathan Chung) 3:44 Ajax - Kyle Ramsay (power play) (Ryan Goulby, Ryan Madden) 6:15 Oshawa - Jonathan Chung (short- handed) (unassisted) 11:31 Ajax - Peter Drikos (Ryan Madden, Kyle Ramsay) 12:06 Period 3 Ajax - Brandon Bartlett (power play) (Lenny Ancona, Peter Drikos) 4:49 Oshawa - Luke Carson (Steve Hard- ing, Jason Kennedy) 7:21 Ajax - James Formosa (Lenny An- cona) 15:40 POWERPLAYS Ajax: 3 for 9; Oshawa 1 for 7 PENALTY TOTALS Ajax: 18 minutes on 9 infractions; Oshawa: 22 minutes on 11 infrac- tions OTHER FACTS GAME LENGTH: 2:06 A.J.

No tre Dame Cougars drop Ottawa exhibition game Ajax senior football squad edged by Gloucester High AJAX — The Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cou- gars got a jump on the senior football season with a game in Ottawa late last week. The Cougars will officially kick off its Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) senior football season today (Friday) against cross-school rivals, the J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate Storm, with the result unavail- able at press time. Notre Dame travelled to Ottawa to play Gloucester High School, dropping a 14-7 decision. The Cougars’ lone major came after a 60-yard interception return by Alex Fedosen. Notre Dame head coach Brian Hughes says there was plenty of good play provided by his team in Ottawa. Most worrisome, how- ever, was his offence’s inability to seal the deal in the red zone. The Cougars had the ball twice inside the Gloucester five-yard line, but failed to punch it in for touchdowns. This season, notes Hughes, the Cougars have its share of young players to surround a core group of five-year seniors who’ll be counted on to carry the team this season. Notre Dame, entering its fourth season in LOSSA football, will attempt to become a con- tender for a title this season, after earning its first trip to the playoffs in 2004. Expected to provide leadership during the 2005 gridiron cam- paign are defensive end-fullback Ryan Bell, wide receiver Akeem Foster, offensive tackle Andrew Bigioni and linebackers Keith Hunter and Junior Kabongo. The Cougars will play Pick- ering’s Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas next Tuesday at 1 p.m., followed by a rare night game at the Oshawa Civic Sta- dium on Friday, Sept. 30 against the Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School Chargers at 8 p.m. Sport’s catching on Ontario AJAX — A new netball club in town is looking for participants to take part in building a clubhouse. Netball is a non-contact sport similar to basketball in that play- ers attempt to score goals by throwing a ring attached to a goal post. But, unlike hoops, there’s no backboard. The sport is popular in Austra- lia, New Zealand, England and in most Caribbean islands. Currently, the sport is played in certain Ontario communities and in Alberta.

The tykes scored a 21-13 victory over Oshawa; the atoms won 22-6 and the peewee Dolphins grounded the visitors 40-6. The Dolphins host the Scarborough Thunder on Sunday at Kinsmen Park in Pickering. The tyke contest kicks off at 9:30 a.m., fol- lowed by the atoms at 11:30 a.m. and, finally, the pee- wees at 1:30 p.m. The tykes took a 7-0 lead in the first half, which was marked by a defensive strug- gle. But, the Dolphins put it all together in the second half to outscore the Hawk- eyes. James Solakis scored the Dolphins’ first touchdown of the second half, with a hard off-tackle run. Later in the half, a reverse by Mor- gan Humes put the ball on the Oshawa five-yard line, thanks to two solid blocks by Jake Van Pelt and Cour- tenay (James) Bolton. Kicker Andre Wright booted the convert. Solakis scored his second major of the contest, following linemen Hayden McNamee and Tyler LeClair into the end zone. Defensive players Nick Te zak, Nathaniel Vaikla, Malik Irwin, Dondre Wright, Sharlon Smith, Mathew Wil- liams, Leigh Philip, Sheldon Jones, Justyc McIntosh and Bryan Peters all supplied outstanding efforts. Meanwhile, the atoms im- proved its COMFL record to 3-1 with their victory. The Hawkeyes fired the opening salvo with a touchdown in the first quarter. The Dol- phins replied early in the second quarter with run- ning back Kurlan Cadet, led by the blocking of fullback Cole Tudor, finding the end zone. Cadet scored another major in the second quarter to tie the game at 16-16 at halftime. The Dolphins defence stepped up the rest of the way, holding Oshawa score- less in the second, third and fourth quarters. Cadet scored the touchdown hat trick in the fourth quarter. The Dolphins peewees scored twice on their first three possession to post the trouble-free victory. In the win, the Dolphins accumu- lated more than 200 yards rushing as well as more than 100 yards passing. Ky le Goffe led the team w ith three touchdowns, scoring twice on running plays and another on a touchdown pass from quar- terback Derek Williams. Wide receivers Stephen Sampson hauled in a 45- yard pass from Williams to score in the third quarter. The receiving corps of Sampson, Jordan Oram, Delino Smith and Kyle Goffe was pivotal to the Dolphins’ running success, blocking to perfection on almost every play. Special teams chipped in as kick-returner Oram ig- nited the crowd with a sen- sational 80-yard kick return midway through the second quarter. Safety Jed Reid and de- fensive back Andre Shand each contributed an inter- ception to snuff out a poten- tial Hawkeye offensive drive. Defensive corner Jelane Roberts, middle linebacker Brandon Misseri, defensive ends Dexter Damboise and Peter Iyamu devastated the Hawkeyes’ offence, causing confusion and errors on the Oshawa line of scrimmage. Williams and Goffe were the Dolphins’ offensive play- ers of the game; Damboise was the defensive player and Oram was the choice for special teams.
