As the Region readies itself to roll out green bins, it’s also ready to launch a massive public edu- cation campaign. “The education program is very ambitious but it is doable,” Mirka Januszkiewicz said. Ms. Januszkiewicz, the Re- gion’s director of waste manage- ment services, on March 15 gave the works committee a glimpse of how it will go. July 1, when the green bin pro- gram starts, will see weekly blue box and green bin pick up and biweekly garbage collection. The idea is that by separating waste, less garbage will be left behind to be sent to landfill. Promotion and education for Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Os- hawa is ready to go. Residents in Scugog, Uxbridge, Brock and Clarington already have green bin collection, while a portion of Pickering also has the service. The Region has been meeting with Whitby, Ajax, Oshawa and Pickering once a month since September 2005. As July 1 draws closer they will meet biweekly.

Informal poll reveals opposition to project By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Residents don’t seem to be quite as supportive as councillors of a proposed $4.5 million pedestrian bridge over Hwy 401. “I don’t think it’s a bad idea,” said Karen Morgan as she waited for her Toronto-bound GO train the morning of March 15. Her attitude changed when she heard the project could mean a $2 million price tag for taxpay- ers. “Then I’m not too for it,” she said before running to catch her train. Everald Bryan hadn’t heard the idea and he doesn’t think it is a good one. “I don’t think that makes sense; you already have Liverpool (Road),” he said. The Pickering resident lives on Glenanna Road and would be a good example of the people the City would hope to get out of their cars and walk- ing to the GO Station. He said he drives now and he’d drive even if the bridge is built. “To me it’s just a waste of money,” he said. The bridge, which would con- nect the Pickering GO Station to Pickering Parkway, is projected to cost $4.5 million, of which $1.067 million would be funded through a provincial grant committed to in June 2003. The summary in the 2006 capital budget shows just over $1 million to come from 2005 and 2006 gas tax funds and $270,000 to come from the devel- opment charges reserve for side- Bridge doesn’t connect for residents ✦ See Brenner, Page 2 Ambitious g reen bin campaign on the way ✦ See Delivery, Page 10 A CAR & A CRUISE FORFOR WIN HEALTH SYSTEM FOUNDATION FINAL DRAWFINAL DRAW March 31, 2006March 31, 2006 FINAL DRAW March 31, 2006 ONLY 14 DAYS LEFT!

Although no debt is to be in- curred or money spent until con- struction begins, the project was a topic of significant discussion during March 13 and 14 budget committee meetings. Wa rd 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson introduced a mo- tion to move $185,000 away from the pedestrian bridge to use to lower the tax increase from a proposed 6.6 per cent to 5.9 per cent. The money is what remains from the $300,000 put in the bud- get last year to pay for design work. “I’m not trying to kill the proj- ect. I’m just trying to ease the burden on taxpayers,” Coun. Johnson said. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner has been push- ing for the bridge for years. “I’ve got mixed feelings in terms of incurring extra debt against the bridge,” he said. “It’s not my preference, but I could certainly live with what is being proposed.” Wa rd 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean wasn’t supportive of the motion. “My concern is the perception that is going to go out to the busi- ness community is maybe the City of Pickering isn’t generally interested in this,” he said. The motion passed, which means when the bridge is ap- proved the $185,000 is going to have to come from debt financ- ing or some other avenue. Coun. Brenner is optimistic the impact on Pickering’s taxpay- ers can be minimized. “I don’t believe it’s going to cost that when it’s over,” he said. He explained the City is apply- ing for grants to help pay for the project. He describes the project as a flagship for Pickering that will help intensify the downtown core, hopefully through the building of an office tower next to the bridge. As well, he believes it will help with the City’s sustainability ob- jectives by making transit easier to use and encouraging more people to walk to transit. From that standpoint, resident Bonnie Littley, a member of the Rouge Duffins Greenspace Coali- tion, likes the idea, but thinks the City might be jumping the gun. “The project is good because it would support transit use, but at this moment who is going to use it?” she said. “There’s other things we could spend money on to be sustain- able.” The budget goes to council for approval April 3. Brenner describes bridge as ‘a flagship for Pickering’ ✦ Brenner from page 1 By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — A published report says police in Alberta are investigating an Ontario connection in the case of a nurse charged with secretly drugging her hospital col- leagues. Meanwhile, two women who say they unknowingly ingested drugs while work- ing with the woman at a Bowmanville nursing home almost four years ago have confirmed they’ve spoken to police. On Thursday the Grand Prairie Herald-Tribune ran a story saying RCMP have confirmed they’re looking into the time Sarah Chris- tine Bowes spent working in Ontario. Ms. Bowes, 27, was arrested in late Febru- ary and charged with more than 50 criminal offences after a year-long probe into complaints by workers at the Queen Elizabeth II hospital in Grand Prairie. Police said the workers, who for months complained of flu-like symptoms and other ailments, had been se- cretly drugged with tranquil- izers. RCMP spokesman Cor- poral Brent Mundle would not comment on the inves- tigation, or whether or not Mounties in Alberta are conferring with Durham Re- gional Police as their probe continues. But in an interview with the paper in Grand Prairie the officer confirmed the RCMP are examining Ms. Bowes’s history in Ontario as part of that investigation. Two local women, Lisa Brillinger, 30, and 40-year- old Pam Ferguson, have said they were given morphine that had been slipped into pop cans when they worked at the Strathaven Lifecare Centre in Bowmanville. Both women said Ms. Bowes, who had access to drug storage areas in the facility, was present when the incident occurred Oct. 30, 2002. Ms. Bowes also tested positive for morphine inges- tion, the women said. Durham police investi- gated the drugging back in 2002 but laid no charges; Ms. Brillinger, who was hospital- ized when she had an aller- gic reaction to the morphine, told the News Advertiser she was never interviewed by in- vestigators in 2002. But Thursday she con- firmed she had been con- tacted by Durham police and asked to attend an in- terview. Ms. Ferguson said she’d already spoken to both Durham cops and RCMP. Durham police are not commenting on the investi- gation, except to say the case has remained open since 2002.

Masked bandit robs Pickering pharmacy , police seek help Culprit used gun PICKERING — Police are seeking witnesses after a gun-toting bandit robbed a Pickering pharmacy Saturday afternoon. The suspect, armed with a black handgun, entered the Pickering Medical Pharmacy on Glenanna Road around 1:40 p.m. The man, who wore a ski mask, walked behind the phar- macy counter and pointed at various drugs with his gun, police said. A clerk complied, handing over the medication. The suspect fled in an un- known direction. No one was hurt during the robbery. Police are looking for a white man, 30 to 40, with a thin build and long blonde hair worn in a ponytail. He wore a dark bomber jacket, a blue shirt and jeans and carried a black handgun.

NEWS ADVERTISER durhamregion.comP PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, March 17, 2006 EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Canada shouldn’t be following U.S. lead in Afghanistan To the editor: Re: Canadian Military Deployment in Afghanistan. The world has come a long way in global governance from the aftermath of Napoleonic Wars and the Concert of Europe, the First World War and the League of Nations to the Second World War and the United Nations (UN). From the dramatic transformation of the aftermath of wars, the globalized world is also turning its attention to the environment. Unfortunately, the U.S. lead in these matters has been self- serving. In the past, the U.S. refused to sign on to the League of Na- tions and today it will not recognize the Kyoto Protocol on the environment. The U.S. also went to war in Iraq ignoring the UN. Canada needs to shy away from the U.S. and must not have its sol- diers conducting a full spectrum of operations in Afghani- stan, with its top soldier reporting to the U.S. High Command through NATO. Canada has a lot to offer the world in its own right and has to return its focus to global governance through the UN.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com Copying images the same as creating them When Robert Horvat copied im- ages of child pornography he’d found on the Internet to CDs and other storage media, he probably never imagined he was joining the ranks of that most repugnant of criminals: those who manufacture the stuff. Appearing in court in Whitby last week on charges of possessing and making child porn, the Brantford man’s argument went like this: Since he was downloading and copying the images for his own use -- not distribution to others -- he was merely duplicating them, not creating new porn. Superior Court Justice Myrna Lack took a different view. The judge agreed with prosecutor JulieAnn Barrett that burning pictures onto discs is far more than simple copy- ing of pornographic images; in fact, she found, the act resulted in the making of porn that hadn’t existed before the copying was done. “What is done, in my view, is an act of creation,” Justice Lack said in a ruling delivered last Friday. The finding is significant in that it raises the stakes for Mr. Horvat, who has now been found guilty of two serious criminal charges. And the conviction for making child porn will come into play at his sentencing a couple of months from now. In determining sentences, judges consider both aggravating and mitigat- ing factors associated with the offence. The act of creating porn could carry onerous consequences. The ruling might at first blush seem heavy-handed. The defence argument warrants consideration. But ultimately, the act of duplicating child pornogra- phy has to be viewed as manufacturing. The chain of distribution for child porn is perpetuated by just such acts. Pedophiles congregate in on-line com- munities for the sole purpose of shar- ing the images they crave; accordingly, distribution is also a crime. The transfer of data from one computer to another amounts to the creation of new images and extends a wretched chain that be- gins with the snap of a camera shutter, then echoes on and on with each view- ing. Child pornography is very much an industry fuelled by the principle of sup- ply and demand. It is that premise that leads the justice system to vigorously pursue that part of the chain most sus- ceptible to investigation and arrest: The consumer. Jeff Mitchell is the Metroland Durham Region Media Group’s crime reporter. E- mail jmitchell@durhamregion.com. Durham ruling a stark warning to consumers of child porn Jeff Mitchell staff writer Residents need to have say on budget Pickering’s budget talk has been downright scary this year. In addition to a proposed six per cent tax increase in 2006, council is warning of a double-digit increase next year in the 15 per cent range. Ouch! As councillors have complained, the fact that the provincial and federal governments own thousands of acres of land in Pickering that cannot be developed and add to the City’s coffers is the main issue. So what’s a local government to do? Either taxes go up a lot or you begin chopping things from your budget to avoid the nasty prospect of a big increase. With that in mind, councillors spent a considerable amount of time Monday look- ing for cuts -- cuts that most Pickering residents would surely not favour. Cutting the library’s materials budget by 20 per cent, or $100,000, didn’t sit too well with library CEO Cynthia Mearns. Similarly, chopping money from the Canada Day celebrations budget isn’t too palatable. CAO Tom Quinn plans to sit down with council for a day-long session to talk about some issues. One can speculate that the tenor of the day will revolve around categorizing assets: What is untouchable? What can be cut? What might be cut? As Ward 1 City Councillor Kevin Ashe noted Monday, “At some point we have to think about making some tough deci- sions.” That time is now, and council has to consider that tax- payers also have regional and education taxes to pay, with the prospect of a heavy increase on the former this year for regional transit. And, while no residents attended Monday’s budget meet- ing, it’s time for Pickering people to begin providing input to their local councillors on the 2007 budget. In addition to your thoughts on what is too important to be lost, speak up on what you think is expendable. What do you believe are the prior- ity services provided by the City of Pickering? Are staff cuts in order? Is the pedestrian bridge over Hwy. 401 a good investment at around $2 million, not including around $1 million each from the Province and the federal government (gas tax money)? We’re sure council would also appreciate any thoughts you have on avoiding either option: a big tax hike or a sell-off. And, councillors also need to demonstrate some creativity to try and avoid a one-or-the-other scenario.

Justice Myrna Lack said last Friday that when Robert Horvat copied downloaded child porn to CDs, DVDs and other computers, he was doing more than copying the images: He was creating new porn, she ruled. “Before the process, the data did not exist in that me- dium,” the judge said in de- livering her ruling. “All of this leads me to believe the copy- ing of child pornography ... constitutes making child por- nography. “Mr. Horvat copied data from one storage format to another and in doing so he made child pornography.” Friday’s ruling was another defeat for Mr. Horvat, who has fought to have evidence gathered against him ruled inadmissible. After hearing arguments prior to the start of the trial Justice Lack ruled that Durham Regional Police investigators did not breach his charter rights when they interviewed him in February of 2005. In those conversations with police Mr. Horvat, 28, of Brantford, admitted he was the sole owner and user of a computer that had been left at a Whitby shop for repairs. A technician found hundreds of images of child porn on the laptop and called police. Mr. Horvat also told Dur- ham Detective Andy Bussan- ich he was aware that what he was looking at online was child porn, Justice Lack heard during the voire dire hearing. In a ruling released just before the case was to go be- fore a jury trial, Justice Lack said Mr. Horvat’s admissions could be used as evidence against him. He immediately chose not to go to trial with a jury. Mr. Horvat did not call evidence to contest a charge of possession of child por- nography, but did fight the charge of making porn. His argument was that since the images on the discs seized by police were for his own use and would not be dis- tributed, he was not guilty of manufacturing porn. Crown counsel JulieAnn Barrett argued that when the images were transferred from one medium to another, new porn had been created. The judge agreed. “I reject the defence argu- ment that personal use only is a defence to making (por- nography),” Justice Lack said. “What is done in my view is an act of creation.” Mr. Horvat is to be sen- tenced in July.

Education and promotion will come in the form of media marketing, including newspaper advertisements, radio messages, television interviews and ads in movie theatres. “We have had a very good re- sponse placing ads in movie the- atres in the past,” Ms. Januszkie- wicz said. “So it is definitely one we are pursuing.” On June 12, distribution of the green bins will begin and work- ers will drop off a 46.7-litre curb side bin in residents’ driveways. Included in the bin will be a 7.5 litre kitchen bin, an information DVD, waste collection calendar, liner bags, a magnet and addi- tional information from the mu- nicipalities. Delivery of the packages will run from June 12 to June 23 be- tween 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday to Friday. According to Ms. Januszkie- w icz, the week between June 26 and the July 1 start date was scheduled for missed deliveries and ensure all residents have re- ceived all they need to partici- pate in the program. In addition, the Region call centres are being prepared for a possible increase in calls and scripts for green bin questions have been prepared. Additional staff will be hired to ensure all calls will be answered in a timely manner. A new waste-specific website will be activated on June 1 and residents can expect inserts in their water bills. The Region will take its green bin presentation to various community groups and local events as well as to 150 schools beginning in May. “We have the unique opportu- nity to make the presentation to school children,” Ms. Januszkie- wicz said. “They can pass that message to their parents that this is what is going on in Durham.” A press conference to launch the program has been tentatively scheduled for June 12, however some councillors on the works committee expressed some con- cern about the date coinciding with municipal meetings so it may be changed. “We have a lot of flexibility and a lot of time to move that date,” Ms. Januszkiewicz said. A draft bylaw for multi-resi- dential homes is in the works but Ms. Januszkiewicz said the Region is first waiting to success- fully roll out the program among single-family residences before they take it that step further. Green bins are to divert kitch- en waste from garbage and the material will be composted at a central composting facility on Pickering’s Squires Beach Road and reused rather than being sent to landfill. Although the facility at Squires Beach is slightly behind in con- struction, works commissioner Cliff Curtis said the waste man- agement company, Miller Waste Systems, will start collecting compost July 1 regardless of the facility’s completion. “Miller’s fall back plan is to ship it to a treatment plant in Quebec,” Mr. Curtis said. Although the Region had origi- nally indicated that garbage left over after recycling and diversion was to be in clear garbage bags or it would not be picked up, Mr. Curtis explained that plan had changed. “We won’t insist on the clear bags right away,” he explained. “We will implement that gradu- ally. We backed off that because it is a sensitive issue.” The total cost of the program has not yet been tallied accord- ing to Ms. Januszkiewicz, but she said those numbers will be out in the next few weeks as budgets are completed for the Region. Regional chairman Roger An- derson questioned if Waste Di- version Ontario was chipping in any money for the education program. www.sklargallery.com Exceptional Warranty Superior Construction Fast Delivery life • style • solutions OSHAWA 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 905-723-4561 Hours: Mon.• Tues.• Wed. 10-6, Thurs.• Fri. 10-9, Sat. 10-6, Sun.11-5 Durham’s Newest & Largest Sklar Peppler Furnishings Store!

Preferred waste management system sessions to be held next month By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — Durham is one step closer to deciding how it will deal with its gar- bage. Approximately 100 peo- ple turned out to a series of meetings to have their say on what to do with Dur- ham’s trash. The regions of Durham and York are jointly trying to ensure their communi- ties have sufficient disposal capacity to meet future gar- bage demands. The regions are working together to ad- dress the environmental, social and economic con- cerns of residents through an Environmental Assess- ment (EA) study. It involves public consultation to ob- tain opinions and concerns regarding waste manage- ment solutions. David Walmsley is a se- nior consultant with Jacques Whitford Ltd., a consulting firm working with MacViro, the company conducting the EA. The Durham/York Re- sidual Waste Management Study’s public information sessions were held on March 7, 8 and 9 and Mr. Walmsley attended the public meeting in Ajax. “There was a good amount of interest,” Mr. Walmsley said. “It was certainly an in- crease over the (information sessions) in the fall.” “There were a lot of dif- ferent folk there with a lot of different interests,” Mr. Walmsley said. The drop-in style infor- mation sessions included discussions on opportuni- ties to achieve additional diversion and types of alter- native residual waste man- agement technologies. “(The public) listened carefully to what we said,” Mr. Walmsley said. “We explained the process and there was a lot of interest in that process, also in why Durham and York are doing this.” People in attendance were asked to fill out a ques- tionnaire and make sugges- tions in writing. Mr. Walmsley said the consultants are in the pro- cess of compiling the infor- mation from those ques- tionnaires and those yet to be sent in. They will pres- ent their findings as well as what they have identified as the preferred system for waste management at a se- ries of meetings to be held in April. The next series of infor- mation sessions on a pre- ferred waste disposal sys- tem is to be held April 25 to 27. The locations are to be posted on the waste man- agement study’s website http://www.durhamyork- waste.ca. Items may not be exactly as shown. Supply and selection will vary by outlet.

In 2005, just 6.8% of our outages were due to tree interference. This is a record that we want to continue. That’s why, as part of our regular maintenance program, we will soon be trimming trees located near overhead power lines in the City of Pickering and the Town of Ajax. Our work will be confined to the area bordered by Liverpool Road/Sidelines 24 and 26 to the west, Westney Road to the east, Uxbridge-Pickering Town-line to the north and Lake Ontario to the south. We will begin work in mid-March and finish by mid-October 2006. While the reliability of your electricity supply is an important consideration in our maintenance plans, we also recognize the aesthetic value of trees. Our tree trimmers are trained arborists and will ensure that the health of the community’s trees is not compromised. Enquiries regarding this planned maintenance work may be made by calling 1- 888-445-2881, extension 3232. *Source: Canadian Electricity Association 2005 Annual Service Continuity Report on Distribution System Performance in Electrical Utilities. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 14 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, March 17, 2006 Clinical trials discussed on March 21 DURHAM — New treatments for di- abetes is one of the topics of a support group meeting next week.

Durham College and University of On- tario Institute of Technology students recently voted in favour of adding $100 a year, $50 per term, to their fees for a transit ‘U’ or Universal Pass. “I was pleased and pleasantly sur- prised,” said Thomas Coughlan, student association president for both institu- tions. The mandatory fee will provide full- time students with unlimited use of Durham’s regional and GO transit bus services during the school year. Durham Region Transit’s unrestricted student pass is currently $67.50 a month. In the vote, 24.7 per cent of the student popula- tion participated and 74.6 per cent sup- ported the U-Pass. “That’s well over a couple of thousand students,” said Mr. Coughlan. “If it was something in the 50 (per cent in favour), we’d be hesitant to go through with it.” Currently, about 27 to 30 per cent of students take public transit, but market trends from other post-secondary insti- tutions suggest ridership will increase to 45 to 50 per cent with the new U-Pass, said Mr. Coughlan. Next year, students who drive will get the price of the U-Pass deducted from their parking pass to help with the transition, although Mr. Coughlan can’t guarantee the discount will be available in future years. Those students will also still have use of the U-Pass, he said. Mr. Coughlan added as more people start to take advantage of using the transit pass, there will be less of a need to subsidize parking.

For the first time in more than 70 years, the number of cancer deaths in the United States de- clined, according to the Nation- al Centre for Health Statistics, a research agency based out of Mar yland. Last month, it report- ed the number of cancer deaths in the United States dropped to 556,902 in 2003, down from 557,271 the year before. The de- crease of 369 represents the first annual decline in cancer deaths since data has been collected. Although Canada has yet to see similar results, it does not mean American cancer fighters are doing anything extraordi- nary when compared to their Canadian counterparts, said Peter Dixon, vice president of cancer services at the Durham Regional Cancer Centre. “They’re definitely not doing anything better than us,” said Mr. Dixon, adding Canada is likely only a few years away from seeing similar results. Mr. Dixon said the same trends happening in Canada can be applied to the United States: the population is in- creasing and aging, resulting, on average, in more cancer deaths. Meanwhile, the rate of getting certain cancers in Canada, such as prostate or lung cancer in men, has remained steady or is on the decline, he said. “The chance of being cured here from cancer has never been higher,” Mr. Dixon said. “We’re getting better at detect- ing cancer early, for certain cancers... which improves treat- ment.” Access to cancer care has also never been better and treatments patients now receive after surgery to prevent cancer recurrences has also demon- strated positive results, he said. In Durham Region, however, Mr. Dixon predicted it would be some time before cancer deaths start to decline, largely because the population contin- ues to grow. This results in more people having cancer and dying from the disease. In fact, he pre- dicted a 60 per cent increase in local cancer deaths over the next 10 years. “In this region, it isn’t going to go down for (about) 30 years because population is growing rapidly,” he added. Meanwhile, trying to compare cancer statistics in the United States and Canada is like trying to compare apples to oranges, said Christine Koserski, of the Ontario division of the Cana- dian Cancer Society. “They count their number different... they have a different health care system,” she said. “The overall incidents of can- cer are rising, and going to rise, simply because the population is getting older. A person is less likely to get cancer now... even though the rate is going up.” The number of Americans di- agnosed with cancer each year is expected to double in the next 50 years, from 1.3 to 2.6 million, according to the National Cen- ter for Health Statistics. I n 2005, approximately 149,000 new cases of cancer were diag- nosed in Canada, and 69,500 deaths occurred. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of death for both men and women, according to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Profoundly complex, V is at once literary, flam- boyant, tender and intellectual, a man dedicated to freeing his fellow citizens from those who have ter- rorized them into compliance. He is also bitter, revenge-seeking, lonely and violent, driven by a personal vendetta. In his quest to free the people of England from the corruption and cruelty that have poisoned their gov- ernment, ‘V’ condemns the tyranni- cal nature of their appointed leaders and invites his fellow citizens to join him in the shadows of Parliament on Nov. 5 – Guy Fawkes Day. On that day in 1605, Guy Fawkes was discov- ered in a tunnel beneath Parliament with 36 barrels of gunpowder. He and his co-conspirators had engi- neered the treasonous ‘Gunpowder Plot’ in response to the tyranny of their government under James I. In the spirit of that rebellion, ‘V’ vows to carry out the plot that Fa wkes was executed for attempting in 1605: he will blow up Parliament. As Evey uncovers the truth about ‘V’s mysterious past, she also dis- covers the truth about herself – and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination of his plan to ignite a revolution.

And for those who can’t join him, he captures images that give the viewer a sense of where he’s been and what he’s seen. The Pickering resident’s photo- graphs are on display until April 18 at the McLean Community Centre in Ajax. A self-professed “hobby guy,” the 27 year-old has never had any formal training. “I always liked to travel, but then I’d bring home my photos and was never really impressed with them,” says Yu. As a result, he decided to turn to the Internet to learn more about photography. “Everywhere has its beauty,” re- marks the young artist. “You could live in a city 20 years but still find things to photograph.” Travelling with his wife has defi- nitely helped, and Yu enjoys com- bining his two passions. “I take photographs and bring them back to people,” he says. “Not all my friends can or do travel, this way they get to see the rest of the world.” “It’s all about having a good time,” says Yu. That’s precisely what he hopes to accomplish with his first exhibi- tion. “So long as you enjoy photos, and like to travel, come out and enjoy the show,” he says. Asked what his plans are for the future, Yu admits that he would never leave his day job as a design mechanical engineer since “not too many photographers live off their work.” The ambitious traveller “just got back from two months in China,” and already has plans laid out to spend the summer in Europe with his wife. His website, www.nickyu.com, features all of the photographs he’s taken since embarking on this photographic adventure five years ago. Nicholas Yu’s photographs are on display in the Centre’s atrium at 95 Magill Dr. It is open to the pub- lic Monday to Friday, from 5:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and on Satur- day and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Admission is free.

Durant to remain as head coach of junior hockey club By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — When asked to take over as general manager of a tier II junior hockey club that won all of five games this season, you might think John Tugnutt’s first impulse would be to run in the opposite direction. That may be an exaggeration, but Tugnutt admits he had reservations about stepping into a situa- tion that, by any defini- tion, would require patience, not to mention copious amounts of work to turn the Ajax Attack from a list- ing ship into the Queen Mary of the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League. “I was apprehensive,” acknowl- edges Tugnutt, who’s making his first foray into managing a junior franchise. “Carey (Durant, Attack head coach) called and said he needed help on the management side of the team. I had followed the team and agreed to meet with Mr. Stein (Robert, Attack owner). He has a great work ethic and he wants to win. Had I not got that positive feedback from him, I wouldn’t have taken the position. I got a fantastic feeling from him, so I couldn’t say no.” For Durant, who did dual GM/ head coach duties last season, it’s a chance to focus solely on the hock- ey side of the ledger, and to bring someone into the organization he has great faith in to attend to the business end of the team. “To run a hockey team everyone has to have a value to the team, Mine is the on-ice product and coaching and building a program. My strength isn’t on the financial side of things.” Tu gnutt is fully aware that the team must upgrade vastly, with in- experienced players and a late start in scouting and evaluations, owing to the purchase of the team by Stein in late August of last year, putting the team behind the 8 ball. No such impediments exist for the coming 2006-07 campaign. “We definitely want to improve and we definitely plan on upgrad- ing the talent on the team. There’s going to be a better product on the ice this year... We expect to have a full season of scouting and evalu- ations, so we can build toward a championship this year or the year after. We expect it to be sooner rath- er than later, but you can’t change things overnight.” The 41-year-old self-employed accountant comes from a hockey family with brother, Ron, a National Hockey League goaltender for 15 seasons. An Ajax resident, Tugnutt’s been involved as a coach and ad- ministrator in the Greater Toronto Hockey League for many years. Tu gnutt says his first order of business is organizing a rookie camp that will be held at the Ajax Community Centre from April 21 to 23. He’s sent out 100 invites to young up-and-coming hockey players in the GTA. The players will be placed onto four teams and will play a round-robin series of games. “We hope to pick a rookie team and bring them back in June, so we can get a better look,” says Tugnutt. As well, Tugnutt says he’s in the process of preparing a computer database of prospective players. The database will be continually updated with information about each player. With the Attack signing an affilia- tion agreement with the Ajax Minor Hockey Association that allows minor hockey players to be called up to the Attack, Tugnutt says it’s important that the Attack be com- munity oriented. He wants to allow free admission to Attack games for all AMHA players. As well, he hopes to foster other community initia- tives, including sending players out to schools as well as participation in community events, including the annual Santa Claus Parade. “This is Ajax’s team. What we give to the community, hopefully the community will give back to us,” he says. ATTACK FACT S: The Attack named Lonnie Freeman as its ‘regional scout’ and Peter Ellen- berger as its director of community and media relations... The team will host its year-end awards banquet at the Ajax Boston Pizza on Sunday, March 26 from 1 to 4 p.m. New Attack GM plans to build team into winner Ajax High girls kick off provincial showcase March 21 AJAX — The Ajax High School Rams varsity girls’ hockey team hope to keep its winning string going at the provincial high school championships in London, which gets underway on Tuesday, March 21. The Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) cham- pion Rams will compete in Pool ‘C ’ at the 16-team Ontario Fed- eration of School Athletic Asso- ciations (OFSAA) championships, along with the host Oakridge Sec- ondary School Oaks of London, the Eastview Secondary School Wildcats of Barrie and Ottawa’s Merivale High School. The Rams start OFSAA play against Merivale at 10:25 a.m. at the Earl Nichols Arena. They’ll play later that afternoon against Eastview at 2:45 p.m. Ajax High finishes pool play on Wednesday, March 22, against Oakridge at 8:15 a.m. If the Rams finish in the top two in their pool, they’ll advance to the playoff quarter-finals on Wednesday af- ternoon. Semifinals and the bronze- and gold-medal games are on Thurs- day, March 23. The Rams gained their first-ever berth at the OFSAA girls’ hockey championship by virtue of a six- overtime victory over the Father Leo J. Austin Wildcats of Whitby in the LOSSA title game a week ago. Rams ready for OFSAA hockey championships Market your skills! Be your own Boss!
