The funding -- to be provided in $2-million installments annually over a five-year period -- aims to provide students at the university with the latest technologies, and high-end labs to acquire the skills they need to succeed in the energy sector of the future. “O ver the next decade, (we) will be challenged with helping the Province meet an ever-grow- ing need for electricity at the very same time we experience as much as 50 per cent attrition in our skilled workforce due to retire- ments,” OPG president Jim Han- kinson said at the announcement at UOIT on Oct. 6. “This investment is an integral part of our succession plan to en- sure we have the best-prepared candidates available to replen- ish our knowledge-based, skilled workforce.” In recognition of the investment, the new engineering building will be named the Ontario Power Gen- eration Engineering Building. There are nearly 700 students enrolled in UOIT’s engineering degree programs, Mr. Hankinson said, and from a business stand- point, investing in UOIT and Dur- ham College made sense. “These academic institutions benefit from being close to OPG’s nuclear facilities and the exper- tise of our employees,” he said. “We benefit from being close to a large pool of career-ready gradu- ates that these institutions and their programs provide. This helps OPG, but it also helps the energy industry, this community and ev- eryone in Ontario.” A.J.

UOIT energized by $10-million donation Councillors want concerns addressed By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — Durham Region will work with the towns of Ajax and Whitby to determine why more than 100 Durham homes flooded in an August storm. As part of the process, regional staff plan to meet with Ajax resi- dents, by far the most affected by the Aug. 19 rain event. Of the 113 flooded basement calls the Region received, 106 were from Ajax. A number of areas in Pickering were also hit hard by the storm. At the Oct. 5 works committee meeting, councillors debated the merits of having a public meeting sooner rather than later. Several council members, including Dur- ham Chairman Roger Anderson and committee chairman Marcel Brunelle, argued it was pointless to meet with residents if there was nothing concrete to tell them in terms of an action plan. But other councillors, including two from Ajax, won the day. “We’re going to sit and wait?” a worked-up Ajax Regional Coun- cillor Colleen Jordan asked when it appeared a meeting could be put off for months. “The anxiety level is very high and we need to talk to the people and tell them what we’re going to look at, what is the town of Ajax going to look at.” Oshawa Regional Councillor Nester Pidwerbecki had moved that a meeting be arranged “as soon as possible.” However Brock Mayor Keith Shier and Ajax Re- gional Councillor Scott Crawford said that wasn’t good enough. “It is open-ended,” said Coun. Crawford. “As soon as possible could be May 2006.” He accepted Mr. Anderson’s amendment that the meeting take place before the end of the year.

The Province an- nounced $39.3 million as part of the second phase of its Wait Times Strategy, which is to improve access to five key health-care services: cataract surgeries, total hip and knee joint replacements, cancer surgeries, MRI exams and cardiac proce- dures. Rouge Valley is getting $1.115 million. The money means 140 more hip and knee joint replace- ments, 96 more cataract surgeries and 312 more MRI exams. Joint replacements are done at the Centenary and Ajax sites, while cataract and MRIs are done only at Centenary. Mr. Martin said those were the amounts the hospital was expecting as the McGuinty gov- ernment has worked to decrease wait times. “C learly this is a very high priority for this government and we as a hospital are trying to assist the government to speed up access for the public,” Mr. Martin said. Children’s mental health, emer- gency room and women’s health are other areas where wait times need to be addressed, he said. “You got to start somewhere and the government is focusing on these five.” Mr. Martin said there should be another announcement soon about waiting times, detailing how long they are at each hospi- tal. “What we’re going to be looking for is how much variance there is between surgeons in our organi- zation and how do they compare to other systems,” he said. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 7, 2005 PAGE 3 P Save an additional 30% off the purchase of a Fall coat* W ARM EMBRACE COAT EVENT OCTOBER 9th - 22nd JONES NEW YORK FACTORY STORE PICKERING ANNEX 1755 PICKERING PKWY PICKERING, ON 905-427-0827 (& 427-9207) *Off manufacturer suggested retail price.

An officer had stopped a man near Whites and Kingston roads Wednesday around 6 p.m. on suspicion of a probation viola- tion and asked him to provide identification. When the man opened his wallet to retrieve it, two partial- ly-burned marijuana cigarettes fell out, police said. A search of a duffel bag the man was car- rying resulted in the seizure of more than 1,600 grams of crack cocaine, 278 grams of powder cocaine and 115 grams of heroin, police said. Justin Jamal Hinds, 22, of Lansdowne Avenue in Toronto, is charged with possession of a controlled substance, three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, and four counts of breach of probation. Drug recovery in Pickering PICKERING — John Sabean is a leader in heritage preserva- tion in Pickering. Or at least that’s what Picker- ing council thinks. Council passed a motion Oct. 3 to nominate Mr. Sabean as a Heritage Leader under the Heritage Community Recogni- tion Program run by the On- tario Heritage Foundation. “Mr. Sabean has been at the forefront,” said Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about protecting the heritage of the community,” he added.

As well, the works department is mailing out an information letter. In his report to staff, works com- missioner Cliff Curtis said the Ajax works yard at Monarch Avenue and Bayly Street recorded 76 mil- limetres of rainfall in the one-hour period after 4:15 p.m. Ajax and Pickering received the most rain, but homes on Annes Street south of Dunlop Street also flooded.

Today’s students truly are tomorrow’s leaders, and it is up to us as an institution and a community to en- sure they have the resources and train- ing they require to meet the challenges of our ever-evolving workplace.” Dr. Marc Rosen, dean of UOIT’s facul- ty of engineering and applied sciences, said the investment by OPG will benefit Ontario’s newest university in multiple ways, from helping expand undergradu- ate programs to improving research ex- cellence. “We think the future’s bright,” Dr. Rosen said. “I thank OPG for their generosity... and their foresight for seeing an invest- ment opportunity.” ✦ Donation from page 1 Donation helps build tomorrow’s leaders P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 7, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR St. Martin’s problems need addressing now All levels of g overnment are failing residents in the worst way I f it were a private business running things, there would be political hell to pay over the mess at St. Martin’s Centre. Yet, while the Province, Durham Region and a federal agency continue to argue over who’s responsible, the cen- tre in Pickering is falling apart. The roof’s in disrepair and leaking, mould has been found in the 58-unit building, water is entering balconies due to a design flaw, and one senior has been moved to a hotel. Oh, did we mention the mortgage could go into de- fault? Generally things are “serious” to put it in the words of the centre’s chairman of the board. Let’s put it another way, it’s inexcusable. No one de- serves to come home to these types of conditions, particu- larly when we’re dealing with a government complex. So how did we get here? Well there seems to be enough blame to go around. The centre was set up by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation in the 1980s and downloaded by the Province onto the Region in 2002. Durham contributes $24,000 annually to the centre’s capi- tal reserve but says the Province should pick up the tab for the repairs. Of course, the Province argues it’s the Region’s responsibility given the annual funding it receives along with $1.5 million it received recently to deal with federal projects. So around and around the blame goes. Did we mention we have one person displaced from their home and more could very likely be on the way? Durham has called for a meeting of regional, provincial and CMHC staff to address the building’s problems. It also wants a loan from the Province to get work underway. At the very least both requests must be met, and fast. But going forward, it’s time all three sides set in place a plan that addresses not only the short-term issues, but the long-term capital needs of St. Martin’s. All indications are this is just the beginning of the problems and slapping a band-aid on this situation will just ensure more problems down the road. A detailed plan to get the centre on solid financial footing long-term is a must. It’s inexcusable these problems have existed as long as they have. To drag them on any longer would be shame- ful. Gas prices never cease to ‘amaze’ To the editor: It never ceases to amaze me when I drive by the gas sta- tions these days and see the prices fluctuating. What I cannot understand is the gas that is in the drums in the ground was purchased at a lower price then what the gas stations are asking for, so why don’t they clean out their pumps before they raise their prices. Maybe we should all stop driving our vehicles for a day (huh) and see how that affects them (this is pie in the sky). The big gas companies made more in profits than the char- tered banks in Canada (who by the way make their profits on the backs of the “little people.”) When is it all going to end, or is it a neverending river of gouging the people?

I t will take time, patience to turn junior hockey team around B elieve it or not, the Ajax Attack is making progress, albeit slowly, but progress nonetheless. With its second win of the season, a 4-0 victory over the North York Rangers on Wednesday night, the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League team has escaped the basement of the South Conference. It’s a notable benchmark for a once-downtrodden franchise that spent every day of last season in cellar-dwelling purgatory. To put it another way, last season’s then-Axemen squad won its second and final contest of the season after 29 games; this year’s crew managed its first win after only six games and their second after only nine. That doesn’t make the Ajax Attack a good team, but it does instil a measure of confidence that it’s moving in the right direction -- something that couldn’t be said in past seasons. To hear Attack head coach Carey Du- rant say it, he was presented a blank sheet of paper at the outset of camp, and has begun to imprint his philosophy on each of his team members, giving each the blueprint to success in junior ‘A’ hockey. “I’ve got 27 babies,” says Durant, allud- ing to the across-the-board inexperience. “I’m trying to raise 27 kids all at the same time. They are kids and that’s the way I have to look at it and do the best job I can do. “Every game is a test for our team and every game we get better and the players are gaining more maturity.” Durant points out his returning veter- ans were ones who were under-utilized last season, with those logging the most ice time for the Axemen last season were either shipped off in trades or decided to move on to other programs in the off-sea- son in the wake of the disaster that was the 2004-05 campaign. The Attack is getting better, but that’s not to say there haven’t been bumps along the way. Last Sunday’s 10-0 home-ice thumping by the powerhouse St. Michael’s Buzzers is something that can, and will, happen. Yo ung players will cough up a furball from time to time. In contrast, however, the At- tack played a very strong Vaughan team tough in back-to-back games last week, dropping a 3-2 overtime decision at home last Saturday and, the previous Monday, falling 6-4 on the road. Despite the ups and downs, winning two of nine games to open the season for an Attack squad that started from Square 1 is more than adequate proof that the ju- nior hockey franchise is pulling itself out of the doldrums.

Just $ 13.99 Vanessa Foran will hold Durham’s top police job for one day By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — While her classmates were busy learning Friday, Vanessa Foran was being fitted for her new police uniform. As the winner of this year’s Durham Regional Police Chief for a Day essay contest, the 10-year-old is taking on the honorary role as the region’s top cop, Oct. 17. “I’ll remember this for a really long time,” said the Whitby girl. As the honorary chief, she’ll be picked up from her school, Florence M. Heard Public School, in a police cruiser and sworn in as chief for the day at the Whitby headquarters. She’ll also get a tour of the building and be introduced to various police units. Along with her uniform and a gift pack, Vanessa and two guests will be VIPs at Durham Region’s third an- nual Police Appreciation Night. There, she’ll read her 500-word essay about the role of police officers and how they sometimes have to do things they don’t like, such as give people speeding tickets, wear hot uniforms in the summer, and put themselves in dangerous situations for the greater good. “And we should be respectful to them,” said Vanessa. Without knowing any police offi- cers, it was difficult to write an essay about their responsibilities, she said. “I came up with these things be- cause I know it’s hard to do the right thing,” she said. “I thought really hard and I guess I got the ideas.” Although Vanessa said she didn’t think she’d win, her parents encour- aged her to participate because she is a good writer. “And it’s a challenge and I like doing things that are a challenge,” she said. She added her best friend said she knew Vanessa would win because of her writing ability. “I think I might write books when I’m older and I like telling people what to do so I might be a teacher,” said Vanessa. “There’s so many choic- es I don’t know yet... It’s a nice choice to be a police officer, but I don’t know if I want to be a police officer.” Va nessa was among five finalists competing in the contest, which was open to all Grade 5 public school students; the contest rotates between the Catholic and public school board. Participants were first chosen by their school and then by their school board superintendent. The final five pre- sented to a panel of judges Sept. 29 at police headquarters. Elizabeth Roy, Whitby trustee for the Durham District School Board and a judge, said Vanessa’s confidence and comfort coupled with the simplicity of her perception were some of the things that made her successful. She added the other contestants were great as well. “There was confidence, there was good material... it was all really well done,” said Trustee Roy. Other finalists were Lindsay Ross of Sunset Heights in Oshawa, Anon Mur- ray from Bayview Heights in Picker- ing, Anika Johnson-Roberts from Dr. Roberta Bondar in Ajax, and Devin Smallwood from Beaverton in Brock.

With so many students experi- encing life-threatening allergies, Anaphylaxis Canada is holding in- formation sessions across Durham to explain more about the condition and what new provincial legisla- tion, Sabrina’s Law, requires from schools. “The law is a very good and in- teresting law that has been writ- ten,” said Marilyn Allen, a founding member of Anaphylaxis Canada who lost her 15-year-old daughter to a peanut butter allergy in 1990. The anaphylaxis allergy law, ef- fective Jan. 1, 2006, is named after Sabrina Shannon, who died from a dairy allergy at age 13 after eating in a school cafeteria. It requires every school board to establish policies for training school staff to deal with life-threatening allergies, create in- dividual plans for those with them and have emergency procedures in place. In Durham, school boards already have anaphylaxis policies. “(Sabrina’s Law) has very little im- pact on Durham district because we are way ahead of the curve on this one,” said Mark Joel, the Durham District School Board’s superinten- dent of education-operations, Pick- ering schools. He said the board created its policy in 1995 because of the large amount of anaphylaxis students. It includes training staff, emergency plans and an allergy alert form kept in the classroom, which features a picture of the student, symptoms and medication. Schools also re- strict peanuts and some have stu- dents eat recess snacks inside to reduce bee sting potential. Mr. Joel said some schools eas- ily have 10 to 15 kids with an ana- phylaxis allergy and the board has never had a death occur at one of its schools. Although the Durham Catholic District School Board doesn’t keep statistics on the number of kids with anaphylaxis allergies, the majority of schools likely have some case of it, said Mitch LePage, superinten- dent of education for student ser- vices. The Catholic board’s policy has been in place since 1998. “I think this is something that is becoming more prevalent and school boards are becoming more active,” said Mr. LePage. He said along with templates, emergency plans, and other proce- dures included in the policy, ana- phylaxis response is customized as much as possible to each individu- al’s situation. Although there are some class- room and school bans on foods, nothing is completely restricted right across the Catholic board. Along with Sabrina’s Law, the anaphylaxis workshops will address misconceptions associated with life-threatening allergies and tips for living a normal life. The anaphylaxis workshops occur Oct. 12 in Picker- ing at 1792 Liverpool Rd. (time still to be announced), Oct. 13 in Whitby from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., and Oct. 25 from 7 to 9 p.m. at 30 Kingston Rd. W. in Ajax. Call 1-800-296-2332 ext. 3 to register. The dangers of allergies — new law honours Sabrina By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — ‘Climate Change: Impacts and Adaptation in the 21st Century’ kicks off this year’s SciTech free lecture series. Entering its third year, the Dur- ham District School Board’s series presents Canadian scientists to share their work in a way a textbook can’t, said Martin Gabber, programs facilitator for science and technol- ogy. “It provides a whole extra added dimension to the field, it makes it alive,” said Mr. Gabber. He said the lectures are general interest and require no scientific knowledge to understand. The first lecture is from 7:30 to 9 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 13 at the board’s Education Centre, 400 Ta unton Rd. E. in Whitby. Dr. Paul Gray, climate change co-ordina- tor for the Ministry of Natural Re- sources, will present information on current trends and predictions surrounding climate change. “The whole idea of the lecture series is I wanted to promote sci- ences,” said Mr. Gabber. “I wanted people to have exposure to experi- enced practitioners in the field.” The annual series has already developed a bit of a following and Mr. Gabber recently received phone calls inquiring if it’s running again. He said everyone is invited to the series, which usually attracts between 80 and 100 people per session, although there’s room for many more. “We get teachers, we get students, we get members of the general pub- lic,” he said. Mr. Gabber said he tries to find speakers on topics of current inter- est. “Climate change is a big one right now,” he said. The first lecture discusses known and potential impacts of climate change and some of the things to do and tools to use to support liv- ing strategies. Most speakers donate their time, which allows the board to provide lectures for free. “We’ve had some pretty good speakers, I’ve been very pleased,” said Mr. Gabber. “Most of the speak- ers love to come out and talk about what they’re doing.” Past presentations included ‘Let’s Talk About Family Trees... Myths vs Truth’ by Joanne Sutherland, a genetics counsellor for the Hospital for Sick Children, and ‘SARS, In- fluenza, Pandemic Flu: What’s the next great threat?’ by Dr. Donald Low, microbiologist-in-chief for To ronto Medical Laboratories, Mt. Sinai Hospital. The next lecture in this year’s series is Dec. 1. ‘Can Cancer Bio- markers Help in the Battle Against Cancer’ will be presented by Dr. Eleftherios Diamandis, head of clin- ical biochemistry, Mt. Sinai Hospi- tal, University Health Network and To ronto Medical Laboratories.

The Pickering regional councillor and co-chair- man of the Ajax-Picker- ing Transit Authority went w ith regional staff members last week to the American Pub- lic Transit As- sociation Expo and Conference. They went to look at new tech- nology for buses, as well as light rail. “There was a lot of new technology I’ve never seen before, for ex- ample hybrid technology I’ve never heard discussed up here,” he said. Light rail is an option they gathered a lot of infor- mation on, Coun. Brenner said, adding it could be an option for Seaton (the new community in north Pick- ering that could be home to up to 60,000 people in the next 10 years or so), as well as for connecting Durham with York and Toronto. “People will use a light rail system if it’s conve- nient, it’s faster than a bus,” he said, adding people seem to be attracted to packaging. Another idea he came away with was designing a community around transit instead of the other way around. “We have an opportunity in Seaton to do it,” Coun. Brenner said. “It would be foolish to miss an opportunity to do something that’s never been done before.” Wa rd 2 Regional Council- lor Bill McLean, who went representing the regional finance commit- tee, also liked that idea. “It’s not going to be cheap, but the benefits down the road will out- weigh the costs,” he said. “We have to get people out of cars.” Pickering Ward 2 City Council- lor Doug Dickerson also attended the conference. He wanted to look at sys- tems to move people from Seaton to the Pickering GO station or out of Durham. “What I’ve seen is quan- tum leaps... It would be ideal at moving large num- bers of people in Seaton west to Toronto,” Coun. Dickerson said. The magnetic levitation system (maglev) was one he liked, saying it is timely, clean and comfortable. He said the recent purchase of two new buses by the Re- gion isn’t new thinking. “They’re pretty, but they’re all archaic. I don’t see anything 21st cen- tury about them... It re- ally wasn’t looking down the road but maybe it’s too early,” he said. Cost of the trip was ap- proximately $1,700 for each councillor. Maurice Brenner Tr ansit expo delivers ideas for regional system We can be reached at 905-683-5110 NEWS ADVERTISER By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — Walkers from Durham and afar raised a re- cord total for the Parkinson Society at the recent event in Ajax. Linda Thrasher, Durham Chapter president of the Parkinson Society of Cana- da, says a total of $33,716.50 was raised at the SuperWalk at Rotary Park on Sept. 25. In the chapter’s seven-year his- tory, the previous best was around $23,000. “We’re really excited and pleased,” she said, not- ing walkers and passers-by could also view an aware- ness board about Parkin- son’s disease at the park. “It’s another way for people to learn about Parkinson’s Disease.” Another milestone was the number of Superstar walkers who took part. Previously, three walkers raised at least $1,000 in the Durham SuperWalk. This year’s event featured eight Superstars including two Superstar Supreme walkers, so designated because they collected $2,500 or more. “Our highest individual was George Ashe, who raised $3,900, and our second highest was Karl Pruesse, our treasurer, who raised $3,200,” said Ms. Thrasher. Mr. Ashe, of Courtice, and Whitby’s Mr. Pruesse were honoured with red caps to reflect their achievement. The 88 registered walkers who participated were from Ajax, Pickering, Whitby and Oshawa in Durham. Fam- ily and friends of walkers and people with Parkinson’s disease came from Oakville, Orillia, Toronto and Bel- leville, pushing the total to around 200 people on site for the event. Ms. Thrasher and Jean Keary were co- leaders. The Durham Chapter meets on the first Monday of each month at St. Mark’s United Church, 201 Centre St. S. in Whitby, from 7 to 9 p.m. for discussion, educa- tion and guest speakers. All are welcome. Meetings are not held in January, July and August. For more information and to contact the chapter, call 1-866-264-3345. Walkers from across Durham limber up prior to the recent SuperWalk in Ajax.

Limited Time Offer Backyard Fire Pit Po r table Outdoor Patio Heater The 15-year history of Softub Canada is fi lled with all of the elements of a “small- town” Canadian inspirational success story. Sudbury, Ontario is situated approximately 400 km north of Toronto, Ontario and is the home of Softub Canada. Softub Canada is gearing up to celebrate 15 years of successful business. Though the Softub concept was conceived by two engineers in California in the mid 1980s, success has been achieved in Canada since 1990. Softub was fi rst introduced to Canada after a chance discovery of the original product by Rob Chaput, a Sudbury resident and business owner on vacation in Florida in 1989. He was so impressed with the product that he contacted the inventor and obtained exclusive rights for Canadian manufacturing and distribution. Two business partners, Lee Tremblay and Wayne Fraser joined him in the venture resulting in the birth of Softub Canada. Since its inception, Softub Canada has grown from a company employing the labour of partners and two employees in a small warehouse in Val Caron (outside of Sudbury) with nine dealer retail locations, to its current 23,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Sudbury, Ontario, employing 30. There are now over 120 dealer locations across Canada with sales approaching $5 million annually. Sales growth of over 900 per cent since its inception in 1990 has earned Softub Canada the distinction of being placed 74th on the top 100 list of Canada’s fastest growing companies by Profi t magazine’s annual poll. This overwhelming growth has resulted in other awards including as Company of the Generation 2000 (Northern Ontario Business Awards), Entrepreneur of the Year 2000 (Sudbury Chamber of Commerce), Best After-Sales Service Company 2000 (SIMA Group Co-op) and Softub model 140 has been named a Consumer’s Digest Best Buy (Consumer Digest Magazine). Softub’s unique and trendy appeal has not gone unnoticed by the entertainment industry. Over the past several years, Softub has gained popularity with television and big screen producers. Having appeared in television series such as VIP, The Single Guy and Seinfeld and movies like Revenge of the Nerds, Softub continues to be the hot tub of choice for trendsetters. The secret for this success lies in the unique design of the product itself. Softub is completely portable and can be set up anywhere in only 15 minutes. With no need for complicated plumbing or wiring, Softub hot tubs can be plugged into any standard 110v wall outlet. Its lightweight portability and durable construction have inspired adventure seekers and comfort lovers alike to take Softub anywhere they wish to enjoy the comforts of soaking in a hot tub: the cottage, the house boat, indoors or outdoors with ease and economy. Softub features a patented heat recovery system, which heats the water with energy produced by the pump motor resulting in very low energy needs. The average heating cost to operate a Softub hot tub is between $5 and $15 per month. It is no wonder that they are growing in popularity among Canadians of all ages. To celebrate their 15th Anniversary, Softub Canada will be offering a number of manufacturer’s gifts and incentives throughout the entire fi scal year, September 2005 to August, 2006.Call Dolphin Pool & Spa for more information, 905-686-6420.

Without these personal touches, your home will feel unfi nished and cold. The most important area in each of your rooms is the focal point. A focal point gives the eye an initial point of interest so that it can begin to take in the interior landscape of a room with ease. It can be an architectural aspect of the room (fi replace), an imposing piece of furniture (armoire), or a beautiful furnishing (picture). The key to remember is that you must identify or create a strong focal point in each room that you decorate. Accessorizing is key to your success. For example, artwork above or on a mantel gives height and weight to the room and can inspire an entire colour scheme. If you are using an oversized piece of furniture such as an armoire for your focal point, the placement of tall vases and candleholders on top will provide additional height. A decorative box and plate might then be added to complete the grouping. The main point to remember is to display only what is necessary. Avoid the temptation to display too many items. This will create a cluttered look and weaken the drama and impact. It’s not only fi nding the perfect accessory but also displaying it in a perfect way. There are no set rules but there are a few basic guidelines to consider. A visit to Petals & Home can help! At Petals & Home you will fi nd a great selection of affordable accessories and gifts. Remember, when decorating your home for Christmas a beautiful one-of-a-kind mantel arrangement or table centrepiece from Petals & Home may be the perfect accessory. Petals & Home 562 Kingston Rd.

Every lighting scheme is different and has different effects on paint pigment. According to Dominique Pépin, member of the Color Marketing Group and Senior Brand Manager at Sico Paints, natural light and your selection of indoor lighting sources will have a huge infl uence on the general “mood” created by the colours you’ve chosen. Pépin says colours change according to the characteristics of the space they’re in, so the best way to check the actual output is in the actual space. “Put your samples right on the walls then change the intensity and angles of your lighting; you’ll get a much better idea of the fi nal result.” The three main types of indoor lighting have very different effects on colour. Choosing the right light source will go a long way to helping you achieve the desired effect: Incandescent light, traditional light bulbs create a warm ambiance but they tend to give a slightly yellow cast to your chosen colours. Fluorescent light, fl uorescent tubes create a cooler mood so colours will have a greenish or bluish tinge. Halogen lights, new generation of refl ectors and bulbs really light up a room. They also allow you to make your lighting more precise or more diffuse, depending on the room. Fu r ther, halogen light is similar to natural light; it’s neutral so it has very little effect on the appearance of colours.

These products will appeal to homeowners looking for a simple yet convenient aesthetic garage door. Durable and reliable each Garaga garage door is made of hot-dipped galvanized steel to which is applied a primer and fi nish coat to insure a brilliant rust free fi nish. The addition of the Alterna series compliments the residential product line from Garaga with outstanding quality and price. It is the ideal choice when minimal insulation is needed; for instance an unheated garage, ATV shed or a boat house or storage. It’s the perfect solution. Dan Hill, an Autograph Door Systems spokesperson, mentioned to us that when a consumer chooses this door series, they will experience all the advantages of a steel door without the complications associated with the “all wood” design. Furthermore, Mr. Hill had this to say: “Steel has a number of advantages. It is cost effective for one, and the wood grain fi nish offers the pleasing wood pattern aspect without the tremendous expense. Most importantly it will last for years to come.” The new Alterna door series are available in four colours: Ice White, and the ever popular earth tones; Desert Sand, Metro Brown and Claystone. Both door models are two inches thick and come with rectangular embossed patterns (also named “Colonial”) on the outside. The Alterna is non-insulated product, while its GARAGA and Autograph Door Systems launch the Alterna series: Durability & reliability at its best! sister Alterna II is polystyrene insulated giving an R Value of 6.6.

Look out for our Nominee section in Sunday’s paper A/P PAGE 24 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 7, 2005 durhamregion.com I watched the alien ship come closer and closer… Now let me tell you how all of this hap- pened. My name is Ashley and I was eight years old at the time of this adventure. I’m told that I’m very creative and I have a great imagination. I have always had wonderful birthday par- ties in the past that were planned by my mom. However, my eighth birthday was approaching very fast and my mom did not have any idea of what she was going to do for my eighth birth- day. Since I have a good imagination she asked me for some suggestions. I spent a lot of time thinking of something really different from other parties. I finally came up with a slumber party in space, which I called a Space Party. The party was to be held on the night of Monday, Aug. 22, 2005 and was only three days away. I was having the party in space on the planet of Saturn, which was not too hot or not too cold. It was just right, and we wanted to see the ring around Saturn. Me and my friends, Hilary, Michelle and Madison could not wait. We contacted each other and played together until the night arrived. Finally the night arrived, my friends called and said they would be a half-hour late. I said that was OK since the party was supposed to start at 7 p.m. and they were coming at 7:30 p.m. So I waited and waited until finally my friends came and we went in the new space- ship that we got by saving up all of our money. The spaceship was $1,000. We all shouted 5,4,3,2,1 blastoff! The takeoff was the best takeoff we had ever seen before! After the takeoff, we said goodbye to Earth, went on to see the red planet, Mars, and then decided to explore that planet. We learned that Mars is called the red planet because of the reddish colour. We also learned that only Pluto and Mercury are smaller than Mars and the diameter of Mercury is a little more than half of Earth’s diameter. Then we went to the planet of Jupiter. Well at this point, a note got stuck on the dash- board so we landed on Jupiter to check it out. We landed on Jupiter, which is surrounded with clouds. So we took the note off the dash- board. We all read it together, it said, “Ashley and friends remember, Aliens Fight when new travellers are in sight.” We were all scared after we read the note about Aliens, but Hilary said we could be famous when we get back on Earth and every- one started to think how exciting it would be to be famous. But then we all said how are we going to be famous if we are scared of aliens? The question wasn’t answered because Mi- chelle started to fuss about her stomach. Michelle said that she was hungry, we all laughed and went to the spaceship. We prom- ised Michelle when we got on Saturn we would eat. So we went to Saturn, which is the second- largest planet in our Solar System, and the diameter is about 10 Earths lined up side by side. When we landed on Saturn we ate a lot. And we all forgot about the note. After we ate we decided to explore Saturn and we noticed that the rings around Saturn were around the Equator. The rings are made up of pieces of rock and ice and each moves around the planet like a tiny moon. It was nice to look at that night. When we had finished exploring we de- cided to play a game of Monopoly. When we were about to play our fifth game of Monopoly, we heard a spaceship coming towards our spaceship that we were in. So we looked out the window and saw an alien spaceship com- ing our way. So that’s how “I watched the alien ship come closer and closer”… And the aliens had said to us from their spaceship, “Come here little girls we have a surprise for you.” But we didn’t believe them so we all screamed “no” and the next thing you know the aliens started to sneak up on us and tried to wreck our spaceship. We were near where all aliens lived. It would be easy for them to hit our spaceship with theirs and they could get a new one before the end of the night. Luckily our spaceship could expand by pressing a red button. We knew that if the aliens were close enough we could expand our ship and hit them off the planet. The aliens started to come closer so we looked for the red button. Our ship was wobbling because the aliens were teasing us by hitting it with the tail of theirs. We could see that they were laughing at us. We were all very scared but we kept look- ing for the red button. We needed to find the button very quickly. All four of us had to look for it, so to drive we had to put the spaceship on auto drive. We were still trying to find that button when I saw another ship approaching with an astronaut. There was a sign on this other ship that said, “Looking for aliens”. The aliens also saw the sign and they stopped hitting our ship. They were backing off and try- ing to get away now. The new ship signalled us by flashing a yellow light. In space this means, “We will help you” and it also scared off the aliens. We stopped our ship, we got on our gear and travelled into the astronaut’s spaceship. We told the astronaut about the aliens and she said she would take care of it but she need- ed our help. We said, “Sure”. So the astronaut said she would take us with her to find the aliens. We then showed her the letter that was stuck on our ship. She said that she would like us to call her Avril and that this had never happened before. She also told us that the newspaper showed that this was going to happen and if anyone captures them, they are going to win a prize and be famous. We were all excited when we heard this. Av r il put on a costume that looked like a real alien and she told us to press a but- ton that said capture when the aliens were in the net. She went out of the spaceship and tried to get the aliens in the net. That was when we pressed the button but the aliens got out since they were fighting really hard. Hilary and I told Madison and Michelle to press the button because we were going to help Avril. So we found some stuff to get the aliens in the net and went out of the spaceship. We snuck up behind the aliens and pushed them into the net. Madison and Michelle pressed the button on time and we captured them in the net. Avril said we did a great job and she was really proud of us. When we got back to Earth it was daytime. We went to the science centre and showed them the letter and the aliens. They said that we were going to be famous and we were re- ally happy. As soon as they got the stuff in the newspaper we were famous of course. But the good thing as well was that we got all kinds of stuff like money, clothes and makeup. When we grew up I became a doctor, Hilary became a singer, Michelle became a scientist and Madison became an astronaut. The girls were friends forever. The End. BUT YOU DON’T ALWAYS HAVE ENOUGH SISTERS’ ROOMS FOR THEM I watched the alien ship come closer and closer... then it landed. Just two aliens came out. I took them to my telescope. They looked through the telescope and saw their galaxy. It was called Rockblaster. There were spider webs all around their galaxy. There was a big spider in the middle of the galaxy. It was a black widow. The two aliens said, “Hi. Help us not get caught in the spider web.” I said, “I know a good idea. How about you use the hose on your spaceship to spray off the cobwebs, then use wire clips to squeeze the spider to make it dead. Then when it’s safe, you can go back to your planet called Spacewalker. The two aliens got into their ship and flew off to spray the cobwebs off their galaxy and kill the spider. Then two more aliens came, and they landed in my backyard. Their planet, Block- wrestler, was destroyed and they needed a new place to live. I invited them to stay at my house. Their favourite food was French fries and bananas. They walked like robots and were nice. Then two more aliens came to visit the aliens. Those four aliens had to sleep in my sister’s bed. Then two more aliens came, and two more, and two more… until they had to stay at the neighbours’ houses also. But the neighbours didn’t care because the aliens were good workers and everybody lived happily ever after. The end. I watched the alien ship come closer and closer...

Pickering’s Sara Wood and others practised some of their moves. Wallace & Gromit make feature film debut in ‘The Curse of the We r e-Rabbit’ The following movies open in theatres this weekend: Wa llace and Gromit -- The Curse of the Were-Rabbit Director: Nick Park Starring the voices of: Peter Sallis, Ralph Fiennes, Helena Bonham-Cart- er G As the annual Giant Vegetable Com- petition approaches, it’s “veggie-mania” in Wallace and Gromit’s neighbourhood. The two enterprising chums have been cashing in with their pest-control out- fit, “Anti-Pesto,” which humanely dis- patches the rabbits that try to invade the sacred gardens. Suddenly, a huge, mysterious, veg- ravaging beast begins terrorizing the neighbourhood, attacking the town’s prized plots at night and destroying ev- erything in its path. Desperate to protect the competition, its hostess, Lady Tot- tington (Bonham-Carter), commissions Anti-Pesto to catch the creature and save the day. Lying in wait, however, is Lady To ttington’s snobby suitor, Victor Quar- termaine (Fiennes), who’d rather shoot the beast and secure the position of local hero - not to mention Lady Tottington’s hand in marriage. With the fate of the competition in the balance, Lady Tottington is eventually forced to allow Victor to hunt down the vegetable-chomping marauder. Little does she know that Victor’s real intent could have dire consequences for her… and our two heroes. In Her Shoes Director: Curtis Hanson Starring: Cameron Diaz, Toni Collette, Shirley MacLaine PG-13 Maggie (Diaz) is a party girl who bare- ly graduated from high school, recycles jobs as quickly as yesterday’s newspa- pers and believes her biggest asset is her attractiveness. Her recurring state of unemployment leaves her virtually homeless as she bounces between the sofas of her friends and relatives. With no confidence in her intellectual ability, she prizes makeup over books and has an innate talent for choosing the perfect ac- cessories and clothes for any occasion. Rose (Collette) is a Princeton-educat- ed attorney at a top law firm in Philadel- phia. Her beautifully decorated pre-war apartment is her haven from the outside world. With her nose perpetually to the grindstone, she struggles constantly with her weight and never feels comfortable in the clothes she wears. Her low self-es- teem regarding her physical appearance has left her dating life non-existent. Rose’s one joy in life is shoes (because they always fit), but unfortunately she has few social opportunities to remove them from her closet. After a calamitous falling out, the two sisters travel a bumpy road toward true appreciation for one another -– aided along the way by the discovery of the maternal grandmoth- er (MacLaine) they thought was dead. Through their re-connection, Ella, Mag- gie and Rose learn how to make peace with themselves and with each other. Also opening today are ‘Waiting...’, ‘Two for the Money’.

The Cougars’ record continues to be unblemished after surviv- ing a close game with the visiting Sinclair Secondary School Celt- ics of Whitby, 42-38, in Lake On- tario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) action at the north Ajax school on Wednesday afternoon. “It was closer than we would have liked it,” commented Cou- gars’ coach Rose Booker, especially after posting a lopsided 39-15 vic- tory over the same Sinclair team in the final of the recent G.L. Roberts tournament in Oshawa. The victory improved the Cou- gars’ record to 8-0. The Cougars were paced by the strong play of point guard Cath- erine Bougoulias, who popped in a game-high 18 points. Nicholle McKenzie followed with 12 points, Rhea Pascal with six, Ariana San- tos with four and Monique John- son with two. Kelly Blea was top scorer for the Celtics with 16. The chief reason for the Cou- gars’ success, notes Booker, is the players all have exceptional height, which has allowed them to out-rebound their opponents on the offence and defensive glass. She also points to the work of point guard Bougoulias, who’s been “very strong” as a starter. In the championship game against Sinclair at the G.L. Roberts event, the Cougars received an outstanding effort from McKenzie with 18 points. Pascal and Johnson recorded eight- and six-point ef- forts, respectively. Cougars keep purring along Celia Klemenz/ News Advertiser photo Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cougars’ point guard Catherine Bougoulias heads down the court while being pursued by Sinclair Secondary School Celtics’ Kelsi Landry during second-half action at the Ajax school on Wednesday afternoon. The Cougars improved their record to 8-0 after a 42-38 victory in Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) junior girls’ basketball action. Call-up goalie leads Attack past Rangers Hardigan earns shutout in junior ‘A’ win over North York AJAX — Keaton Hardigan was the man of the hour for the Ajax At- tack on Wednesday night. Hardigan, a call-up netminder from a Kitchener junior ‘C’ squad, made 36 saves to backstop the Attack to a 4-0 shutout of the North York Rang- ers in OHA Ontario Pro- vincial Junior ‘A’ Ho ckey League at the North York Centennial Arena. “He played fantastic,” noted At- tack assistant coach Earl Saye. “He kept us in the game until we got our legs under us and then we took it to them.” Hardigan got the start over No. 1 goaltender Nunzio Presta, who earned the night off. The victory, the team’s second of the season, allowed the Attack (2-6- 0-1 for five points) to jump out of the basement in the South Conference standings, sitting one point ahead of last-place Oshawa Legionaires. After a scoreless first period, the Attack struck for a pair of mark- ers, the first coming off the stick of Bradley Sullivan, his first in junior ‘A’ hockey, with Ryan Gouldby scor- ing his first of two on the night. Kevin Fukamura, Michael Aiello and Brandon Bartlett drew assists. The Attack offence continued to click in the third as Aiello scored a short-handed marker from Ryan Rosati, who recently returned to the Ajax lineup after a hamstring in- jury kept him out through much of the pre-season and several regu- lar-season contests. Gouldby closed out the scoring with a power-play marker. The Attack are in Parry Sound Saturday night to meet the Seguin Bruins. On Sunday, the Attack hosts the Legionaires at the Ajax Commu- nity Centre at 3 p.m. Bradley Sullivan Durham’s ‘official’ opener in Ajax against Ottawa Saturday DURHAM — After opening its season with a victory, the Durham Lightning couldn’t duplicate that feat in their National Women’s Hockey League home opener on Tuesday evening. The Brampton Thunder spoiled the opener for the revamped Light- ning, scoring a 3-1 victory in regu- lar-season action at the Ajax Com- munity Centre. After giving up a first-period lead, the visitors scored two power- play markers in the second pe- riod. The Thunder closed out the scoring with a goal with just more than seven minutes left in the final frame. Defenceman Pamela Pachal scored the Lightning’s goal, unas- sisted. The Lightning won its season opener on Sept. 24, defeating the Oakville Ice 4-1. Durham’s ‘official’ season kickoff is at the community centre this Sat- urday, Oct. 8 when the Lightning host the Ottawa Raiders at 7:30 p.m. The Raiders currently reside in first place with a 4-1 record. League commissioner Sue Fennell, who’s also the mayor of Brampton, will be on hand for Sat- urday’s contest, along with Ajax Mayor Steve Parish. The evening will also feature a number of prize giveaways, free food and Dave Thomson, formerly of the pop group ‘Wave’, singing the Canadian national anthem.
