Cause of death unknown; police awaiting autopsy results By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer PICKERING — Durham homicide cops are trying to determine the identity of a man whose body was found early Tuesday morning in north Pickering. Police responding to a call on Fair- port Road in the Whites Road - Finch Av enue area around 6:30 a.m. found the middle-aged man lying in a drive- way. Police have concluded the man, who was not wearing a shirt, was the victim of foul play; he is Durham Re- gion’s fifth homicide victim of 2006. A cause of death has yet to be de- termined and investigators are await- ing results of an autopsy, scheduled for Thursday. Police have released few details but are hopeful the public can help in identifying the victim, who they believe may have been missing or ab- sent from home for an extended period of time. The victim is described as possibly of South Asian or Caribbean descent, with short black hair and a moustache. The man, aged 30 to 40, stood about 5- feet-6 and had a slight build, weighing about 130 pounds. He was found wearing black pants and a brown leather belt with a weave pattern on it, as well as light grey socks with the brand name “KODIAK” embroidered on them in light green lettering. A grey shirt and white un- dershirt were found near the shirtless man’s body. In addition to information on the victim’s identity, homicide cops are in- terested in hearing from anyone who may have noticed suspicious traffic or activity along Fairport Road north of Finch Avenue in the 24 hours pre- Son, other youths not allowed to take part PICKERING — A Pickering parent is angry about the way the City’s teen events are handled after his son was turned away from a recent skateboard- ing event. Rick Masson complained about the way the Aug. 17 skateboarding con- test was organized after his 14-year-old son, Dylan Masson, was not allowed to participate because he had misplaced his City of Pickering photo ID card. “All of our programs and events re- quire the free photo ID card so they have to provide that to participate,” said Kim Kranc, the co-ordinator of recreation programs for the City. “It is promoted everywhere that they have to have that.” Mr. Masson said he went with his son to the event so he could sign a permission slip allowing him to par- ticipate. Ms. Kranc said they do have mem- bership applications available at events for such cases, but this parent was causing a scene. “This gentleman was not respecting staff; police had to ask him to leave,” she said. Mr. Masson said he didn’t know why he was asked to leave. “I wasn’t raising my voice, I was being reasonable,” he said. He is upset that his son, who he said placed first in the last skateboarding event, wasn’t able to take part. He said there were other teens who didn’t have their ID cards who were also upset about not being able to participate. As a result, there were only about half a dozen participants.Mr. Masson said he believes such events would have a much higher turnout if they were handled differently. Parent upset over handling of skateboarding event, but City says he was disrespectful, asked to leave Man found dead in Pickering driveway PICKERING — The land exchange that needs to take place before Seaton can be developed has been put on hold yet again due to an impending court ap- plication. Lawyers for Woodbridge developer Silvio De Gasperis and First Nations ac- tivist David Grey Eagle Sanford were in court again Aug. 23 with lawyers for the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) and the Ontario Realty Corporation (ORC). The matter dealt with the environmental assessment (EA) process used to trans- fer provincially owned land in Seaton with privately owned land in Richmond Hill on the Oak Ridges Moraine. The ORC conducted the class EA on behalf of the provincial government. But, several parties, including Mr. De Gasperis, Mr. Sanford and the City of Pickering, argued that a transfer of this magnitude, and taking into consider- ation the environmental sensitivity and cultural importance of Seaton, should have been a full individual EA. In July, lawyers for Mr. Sanford, and Mr. De Gasperis and his partners, at- tempted to get an injunction to stop the land transfer until after an application asking for “Ministry of the Environment’s decision on the notice of completion of the EA to be quashed”, thereby requiring a full EA to take place. The MOE and ORC agreed to hold off on the transfer until the matter returned to court Aug. 23, at which time Justice Harriet Sachs granted Mr. Sandford’s request for a two-month adjournment in order to gather further evidence and to possibly involve more First Nations groups in the matter. It will now be heard Nov. 21 and 22, while the application of Mr. De Gasperis and his partners will be heard Nov. 24. “The land transfer won’t be taking place until at least after the judicial re- view hearing in November,” said ORC spokesman Jim Butticci. Mr. Sanford is asking for a judicial review contending, that during the EA there was no consultation with First Nations people, who were identified as having a cultural interest in the Seaton lands. His lawyer presented affidavits from three chiefs who argued for a full EA. They also argue it is their constitu- tional right to be consulted. Mr. De Gasperis owns land in the Duf- fins Rouge Agricultural Preserve, which is protected land adjacent to Seaton.

[ Briefly ] Minacs shares go to India company PICKERING — Minacs World- wide is entering a new chapter in its corporate history. The Pickering-born company recently announced that the proposed deal with India-based Tr ansWorks Information Services has been successful. Under the deal, TransWorks will hold 91.91 per cent of the currently issued and outstand- ing common shares of Minacs, effectively taking control of the company. TransWorks paid $5.50 CDN per share. Norman Betts, chairman of Minacs, praised the deal. “On behalf of the board, and all those who worked so hard to get to this day, I am very pleased that we were able to help Minacs launch this exciting new chapter in its history,” he said in a press release. The existing board is working together with TransWorks to make the transition easier. It is expected the majority of the current directors will step down in favour of individuals nominated by TransWorks.

The past few days residents using the municipal water supply along Lake Ontario may notice the tap water has an earthy or musty odour. Taste and odour episodes, the Re- gion said, are a natural phenome- non. The cause is seasonal biological changes in Lake Ontario that typically occur in the late summer or early fall. However the water is safe to drink. According to the Region, labora- tory testing of both the raw and treat- ed water confirms its bacteriological quality meets all drinking water qual- ity standards set by the Province. The treatment processes at the Re- gion’s water supply plants in Oshawa, Whitby, Newcastle and Bowmanville are unable to remove all of these odours. The Ajax Water Supply Plant has four granular activated carbon fil- ters to reduce taste and odour levels. Ta ste and odour episodes will gen- erally dissipate after water tempera- tures in the lake start to go down. Members of the public who have further questions regarding the odours are asked to contact the Re- gional Municipality of Durham Works Department, Technical Support Divi- sion at (905) 668-7711 or 1-800-372- 1102. Additional information is also available through the Region’s mem- bership with the Ontario Water Works Research Consortium at www.owwrc. com.

Each uses municipal staff and trucks to collect these streams, while Miller Waste handles blue boxes. Elsewhere, the Region handles the green bin collection. The collection process differs slightly in each com- munity according to Mr. Laird. S ome places, like Ajax and Pickering, use a collection vehicle solely for food waste while some trucks are split by a wall inside the truck which prevents the waste streams from mixing. The trucks make their rounds each day to different areas of each munici- pality. One truck visits thousands of homes daily. Non-compliance tags are put onto bins, which visually don’t meet the requirements, like if they contain a plastic bag or any inappropriate ma- terials. After the food waste is picked up it is taken to a central compost facility in Pickering for further processing. The food waste itself is mixed with a formula of yard waste and turned into compost. The Miller waste facility is not fin- ished yet but, according to Mr. Laird, it should be in a week or so. “All the material will be composted on sight, then taken off site for cur- ing at another location within the Region,” he says. The end result is a marketable Grade ‘A’ compost that can be used for different applications. Currently, the food waste material is taken off sight to an undisclosed Miller Waste location.

Making a difference down south CAW members help rebuild New Orleans By Izabela Jaroszynski Staff Writer DURHAM — A year after Hurricane Katrina tore through New Orleans leav- ing thousands homeless in its wake, members of the local Canadian Auto Workers union are helping out in the effort to rebuild the southern U.S. city. Thirty members of the CAW, includ- ing six from Local 222, will be heading to the Ninth Ward in New Orleans over the next five weeks to rebuild five homes and possibly help out with many oth- ers. “I am very proud of our members,” says Chris Buckley, president of the local. “We put the call out for volunteers and we got an overwhelming response.” Volunteers, who have taken a leave of absence from their jobs, will travel to New Orleans in units of six for one week at a time to work on housing projects with the Association of Community Or- ganizations for Reform Now (ACORN). Jim Mitchell is president of the Skilled Trades Council, a national CAW orga- nization that initiated the New Orleans campaign. “What we’ve been told by the site manager from ACORN is that he has lots of volunteers on a labourer level -- peo- ple willing to clean up and prepared to do any odd jobs that are necessary -- but they are really lacking in skilled trades workers,” the Oshawa resident said. “So each of our groups is manned with two electricians, a carpenter and a plumber. And then we also have a millwright and a tool-dye maker.” The broad range of skills in each group means the units can handle virtu- ally any housing project given to them, he added. Mr. Mitchell, who has worked in the skilled trades at General Motors for 24 years, is heading to New Orleans on Sat- urday to fulfil his week of volunteering. And he says that if all goes well, this could be just the beginning of some- thing much bigger. The New Orleans volunteer mission, Mr. Mitchell says, is a pilot for a larger project designed to get skilled trades workers from the CAW to places in need around the world. “There is a major shortage of skilled trades in the country and across North America,” he said. “We wanted to utilize our skilled trades in a volunteer capacity for disaster relief.” The CAW pulled together to make it happen, with the national union con- tributing money to pay for flights, ac- commodations and meal allowances and the Skilled Trades Council paying for the rental of vehicles. “Depending on the success of the pilot project -- and it seems so far to be a great success -- we will try to expand on it,” Mr. Mitchell said. Mr. Buckley says that with the level of commitment by CAW members to help alleviate some of the devastation in the poorest regions of New Orleans, the project is sure to be a success. “They are helping people rebuild their lives,” he said. “I know their contri- bution will be greatly appreciated.” Ajax man returns to Gulf area By Jennifer Stone Staff Writer DURHAM — A year has passed, but a recent trip to Mississippi showed Ajax documentarian Doug Raby that little has changed since Hurricane Katrina rav- aged the area Aug. 29, 2005. “The debris is gone in most places ... but you know what? The rebuilding hasn’t really started, not in a big way,” said Mr. Raby, who, last fall, joined Bow- manville trucker Peter Bruno to docu- ment a trip to the Gulf Coast. Mr. Bruno took two trips into the area in the wake of the hurricane, hauling tractor-trailer loads of goods collected by donors in Durham Region. He was the first long-haul trucker to arrive at Camp Coast Care, a relief centre set up by the Episcopalian Diocese to help Katrina victims. Mr. Raby joined Mr. Bruno on the second trip, filming a documentary called Long Haul – Big Hearts, which will be aired on VisionTV some time in the new year. Part of the deal with VisionTV called for an epilogue to be filmed, but two heart attacks and subsequent surgery precluded Mr. Bruno from making the trip. So, Mr. Raby went to bring back footage of how the rebuilding is going. It’s still fairly dismal, he said Tuesday, a year to the day after the storm hit. “There are empty parking lots where all these businesses were,” he said. “There is street after street of working- class neighbourhoods where there are front steps and nothing else.” But, there is hope, said Mr. Raby. Camp Coast Care, for which Mr. Bruno is get- ting a great deal of the credit, has helped tens of thousands of people since the first load of goods arrived from Dur- ham. Asked what most stands out in his mind about his trips to the storm-rav- aged region, Mr. Bruno’s answer is two- fold: “the devastation, and the good peo- ple of Durham, for making it possible for me to go down there.” Another trip is something Mr. Bruno is interested in doing. “Everything’s up in the air with me right now, because of my health, but if I could be there now, I’d go back,” he said.

Higher g asoline prices drive up school board’s kilometre rate DURHAM — Recent fuel prices are driving up the travel reimbursement rate offered by the Durham District School Board. The Durham District School Board’s finance committee recently approved an increase in the travel rate from 41 cents to 45 cents . According to a staff report, each one cent increase in the rate costs the board about $13,000. The board last adjusted its rate in September 2005. The reimbursement is given to trustees and designated employees required to use their vehicles for board business. Car break-ins on the rise, police say DURHAM — A recent spike in ve- hicle break-ins across Durham Re- gion has police asking residents to be vigilant with the security of personal property. Durham Regional Police say that in recent weeks, officers have inves- tigated more than 100 reports from east Oshawa and Clarington of en- tries to cars. Most of these incidents were crimes of opportunity and the ma- jority of vehicles had unlocked doors or open windows, police say. Items that have been reported missing include coins, electronics, wallets, purses, computers, sporting equipment and clothing, resulting in losses totalling thousands of dollars. Anyone with information about these incidents or who would like to report a suspicious person or activ- ity is asked to call police at 905-579- 1520 ext 1603.

PA GE A6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ AUGUST 30, 2006P A trusting son gives Neil the strength of a giant T here are a number of things that go through your head as you are capsizing a canoe into a se- ries of rapids with your 11- year-old son in the bow. “Oh my God! Whose idea was this?” “You are a very stupid man.” “Is anyone looking?” I’ve canoed for many years, kayaked for just as many. But yesterday was the first time I have ever upset a boat in whitewater -- the first “acci- dental” wetting in 20 years. I used to be proud of my “d r y” record, but in light of my recent baptism I’m re- thinking things. I now realize I have been, not to put too fine a point on it, a “scaredy paddler,” a “water wussy.” One of the many wonderful things about having children is they often force you to be- come a better version of your- self. When we are youngsters we strive hard to better our- selves in order to impress our parents, to gain their favour, their attention, their love. Next, when we are entering relationships, there may be short periods where we are striving to better ourselves in order to impress a prospec- tive life mate. But then, after we are set- tled down in our lives with our partners, many times there comes a doldrum of sorts. We are on a kind of growth “cruise control.” We may feel like we’ve made enough progress. We coast. That is, until children come along. Once more we have someone to strive for, some- one to impress, someone to be better for. Like it or not, we become “role models.” And so, yesterday, as we pulled over to the safety of the portage entrance, a little voice in the back of my head began to speak up. I’ve heard this voice many times before. In the past he has said such things to me as: “G o on up. That ladder’s not so high.” “It’s wiring... how hard can it be?” And, “Her husband won’t be home for hours.” This time he was saying only two words: “Run it.” Run the rapids. Run it. Never have two words been so pregnant with meaning. Run the rapids. Show your son you are not afraid. Show him how not to be afraid. Show him how to live. Show yourself. Amen. The opinions of certain film directors notwithstanding, I am not an idiot. My innate sense of caution has served me well in the past. I have all my limbs and digits to prove it. But when you are getting back into your canoe and paddling upstream to re-take a heading on a dark “V” of ominously rushing water and your son turns to you from the bow, looks at you with the eyes of your own child- hood and lays his soul in your hands with a trusting “I’m nervous Dad,” you don’t paddle for shore. Thanks to that blessing- in-a-baseball-cap, you sud- denly find yourself with the strength of 10 Grinches plus two. A braver and better you than you were five minutes ago, you slash down into the white water. Seconds and millennia later, as you bob to the sur- face amidst a sea of floating camp gear, eagerly clutching the hand of your smiling, still wonderfully trusting son, you may call out to him, “Are you all right buddy?” But what you are really say- ing is “Thank you son. Thank you.” Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

But for a small number of families -- still too many -- tragedy has struck in the form of drownings in provincial waters that, according to one Durham Regional police officer, are totally preventable. Constable Mike DeLisle of the DRPS’s marine rescue says people simply should wear life-jackets when out in their personal water craft. When you understand that 89 per cent of those who drown were not wearing a personal flotation device, you realize how right Const. DeLisle is. The problem is simple: people go out boating, run into rough water and find themselves in choppy seas -- without a life-jacket to protect them from drowning. Whether they try to swim for shore, or strike their head on the boat while it is capsizing or simply suc- cumb to chilly waters, they end up drowning. While it is Canadian law to have a coast guard-approved life preserver on board for every occupant of a boat, it is not the law to wear a personal flotation device. That is where all the trouble starts. Stuffing a life-jacket into the bow of the boat and presuming you’ll be able to access it and strap it on after you’ve been tossed overboard could leave you defenceless should you be thrown into storm-tossed waters. Even if you are able to successfully access a life-jacket or per- sonal flotation device (PFD), who’s to say everybody else on board will be able to? And what happens when panic sets in and those who aren’t strong swimmers are desperate to stay afloat but can’t get to a PFD? The problem with stowing life-jackets but not wearing them is that there are too many variables in rough waters. The presumed trouble you think you might get in is unlikely to be what ends up happening when you really, desperately need to be wearing a life- jacket. To o many people believe they are in a cone of safety as they churn through Ontario’s waters. They might insist their children wear life-jackets but don’t wear them themselves. Aside from set- ting a poor example, such behaviour lacks common sense. It’s the equivalent of strapping your child in a proper car seat but not wear- ing a seat-belt yourself. Like the use of seat-belts while driving our roads, the wearing of life-jackets should be mandatory on our waterways. Far fewer Ontarians would drown if such a law were passed. Chairman’s tenure hasn’t been stellar To the Editor: Re: Aug. 20 editorial extolling the virtues of Roger Anderson. Even though under moments of duress he denies being po- litical, well, your words seem to confirm what we already knew, he most certainly is. A more balanced assessment from your good selves was called for, perhaps mentioning instant pay raises for himself and coun- cillors at the beginning of each term. Assuming he is elected by the usual suspects, this will be high on the chairman’s agenda, and they have to survive four long years this time! We should not forget other gems of wisdom under his ten- ure, such as misjudging the bud- get for the brand new chambers, the fiasco with the car-park, the European soirees, losing a great medical person, plus the con- tempt shown for the most astute politician at Durham Region, our own Ajax Mayor Steve Par- ish. Perhaps Mr. Anderson is the best we have but politicians need to be elected by the people they purport to represent. I urge all residents of Ajax to use their collective power to send the Region a message in the strongest possible terms by voting yes to the question on this year’s municipal ballot. We simply want an elected chair- man, not a dictatorship. I also challenge elected mem- bers of the new council to show some versatility and run against Mr. Anderson for this position, to at least make him work for his huge remuneration. John Haste Ajax Alleged attack hard to fathom To the Editor: I was sickened reading the report, “Three charged with as- saulting female,” in the Aug. 23 Ajax News Advertiser. And to read that while an offi- cer was interviewing the victim, who was covered in blood, “an- other woman approached and kicked the victim in the face.” What type of person does some- thing like this? The assault by three people, reportedly one a male, was bad enough, but the audacity to at- tack the victim in front of the officer. Unbelievable! This is certainly an individual who has no fear of/or respect for the law. I hope our judicial system keeps this in mind when sen- tencing these individuals. B.J. Smith Ajax Transit system lacking To the Editor: I see Durham officials are warning residents of an impend- ing transit strike this fall. Have you used the service lately? I am unsure how it will be any poorer during a strike, as it is almost non-existent when fully operating. Try using it to reach the GO station in time for a specific train or to get back to your residence from the GO station. Good luck! Walking is a more viable alter- native.

GM on upswing despite losses DURHAM — Despite reporting a net loss of $3.2 billion, or $5.62 per share, for the second quarter of 2006, General Motors is exceeding the expecta- tions of its turnaround plan, the company said on Wednesday. The net loss for the quarter included a total of $4.3 billion in special item spending, such as the previously announced buyout package accepted by 34,400 hourly employees and the sale of 51 per cent of GMAC. Taking those special items out of the equation, the adjusted net income for GM in the second quar- ter of 2006 is a $1.2 billion gain. In fact, the company is reporting record revenues of $54.4 billion. Rick Wagoner, GM’s chairman and CEO, said the numbers show the company’s turnaround strategy is working. “With the support of our employees, unions, dealers, suppliers and stockholders, we are moving rapidly and aggressively to address our challenges and restructure GM for future success,” he said in a release. Although the company had initially intended to implement $8 billion in structural cost reductions by the end of 2006, the success of the buyout pro- gram in the United States, along with other cost ini- tiatives, will allow the company to increase that goal to $9 billion. Mr. Wagoner said he is pleased with the speed with which the company has implemented the turnaround plan. Health department offers tips on staying cool By Erin Moore Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — As Canadians, we embrace our summers as a wonderful contrast to our long cold winters, but experts agree that the heat of the summer can also be dangerous -- especially for seniors. Trudy Peters is a registered visiting nurse with Paramed Home Health Care and visits many se- niors on her daily rounds. “Fortunately I don’t see too many seniors suf- fering seriously from the heat because so many buildings are air conditioned, but it’s extremely important to watch for symptoms because seniors are especially prone.” Ms. Peters goes on to explain that seniors don’t adjust as well as young people to sudden changes in temperature. They are more likely to have a chronic medical condition that upsets normal body responses to heat and they may be taking a medication that impairs their ability to regulate temperature or inhibits perspiration. Officials from the Heart and Stroke Society of Canada say that many medications for high blood pressure and heart disease are diuretics and can contribute to dehydration. “Seniors don’t drink a lot of water or juice. Gen- erally their consumption of fluids is low because it’s either not part of their routine or their fluids are restricted for various medical reasons,” adds Ms. Peters. “They also often have a tendency to over dress when it’s warm. Even on a hot day, I’ll find many seniors wearing a sweater or several layers of clothing.” According to the Durham Region Health De- partment, the common signs of heat exhaustion include heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, tiredness, weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea or vomiting and fainting. They suggest that if these symptoms are pres- ent, offer the victim cool, non-alcoholic, non- caffeinated beverages. Suggest they take a cool shower, bath or sponge bath and seek out an air- conditioned environment. Check that clothing is lightweight and loose fitting. If the individual does not cool off within one hour or if symptoms worsen, seek medical atten- tion. Ms. Peters underlines the importance of fluids when it’s hot. “Reminding seniors to keep themselves hydrat- ed is very important, even if they say they don’t feel thirsty. And remind them to do it slowly so that their bodies can adjust. Seniors should also have a buddy contacting them on a daily basis to check that everything is OK and that they’re getting their fluids.” According to the Ministry of Health, heat stroke (also called sun stroke) is an even more serious condition that requires immediate medical at- tention. It occurs after prolonged exposure to hot weather and when the body is unable to regulate its temperature. The symptoms of heat stroke include extremely high core temperature of up to 41 C (106 F); hot, red, dry skin; rapid pulse; rapid, shallow breathing; headache; confusion; untypi- cal behaviour and possible loss of consciousness. The Durham Region Health Department en- courages everyone to take it easy during extreme heat and offers the following tips to help keep cool: • Drink plenty of fluids; • Try to stay in shaded and cool areas such as air-conditioned facilities; • Limit your activity level and take it slow; avoid excess physical activity and try to plan your activi- ties so that you are outdoors when the temperature is cooler such as early morning and evenings; • When outdoors, wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing and protect your head and face with a hat or umbrella; use sunscreen with a SPF of 15 or higher and carry plenty of water; • Avoid hot foods and heavy meals as they can add heat to your body; • Do not leave infants, children or pets in a parked car.

Policies within the City of Pickering Official Plan require an Environmental Servicing Plan (ESP) prior to development occurring in the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood. Mattamy Homes Limited, Coughlan Homes, and the Ontario Realty Corporation will conduct the Duffin Heights Environmental Servicing Plan (ESP) with assistance from the City of Pickering. The Duffin Heights ESP will address the following components needed for development to occur: • Proposed road needs; • Proposed road alignments; • Natural Heritage System (NHS) crossings; •Community Facility needs; and •Development Limits. Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Components of the ESP requiring future approvals under the Environmental Assessment Act will be completed in accordance with Phases 1 and 2 of Schedule ʻCʼ of the Class Environmental Assessment for Municipal Roads Projects. Possible methods of implementing the proposed projects will be evaluated based on the effects of the following: • Engineering and Public Safety • Natural Environment •Social/Cultural Environment • Economic Environment ORC Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Ontario Realty Corporation has landholdings within the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood. These landholdings may be transferred or sold as development occurs within the Neighbourhood. ORC is required to carry out a Category B Environmental Assessment prior to the sale or transfer of their lands. The satisfaction of the requirements of the Municipal Class EA will constitute fulfillment of the requirements of Category B of the Environmental Assessment for the Ontario Realty Corporation for the disposition of their lands within the Duffin Heights Community. This ORC undertaking is limited to lands for which no previous ORC EA has already been conducted. Public Consultation Public input during the planning process of this project is encouraged. Two (2) Public Information Centres will be scheduled over the next year. These meetings will provide additional information and answer your questions regarding the project prior to completion of the study and selection of a preferred solution. It should be noted that the Region of Durham will also be conducting concurrently a Class Environmental Assessment relating to the Regional Services necessary for the development of the Duffins Heights Neighbourhood.

Page B2 11 Harwood Ave S Ajax Tel: 905-686-5554 FREE SALAD OF YOUR CHOICE WHEN YOU BRING IN THIS AD OFFER VALID FOR DINE-IN ONLY Intermediate squad in U.S. for training camp, tournament B y Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — The Durham Junior Lightning is in the eastern U.S. for the second time in as many years to get the hockey season off to a solid start. The Provincial Women’s Hockey League intermediate ‘AA’ team repre- senting Ajax and Pickering is in Burl- ington, Vermont to undergo a training camp under University of Toronto head coach Karen Hughes and to play at the prestigious North American Hockey Academy (NAHA) North American In- vitational Labor Day Tournament. The Junior Lightning is being joined by the Lightning midgets to Vermont for the training camp and will play under the ‘Durham Cobras’ banner at the tourney. The training camp started Monday and continues through the remainder of the week at Gutterson Field House, the hockey arena at the University of Vermont. The Labour Day tournament opens Sept. 1 with the Lightning play- ing the MN Ice Cats. Later that day, Durham plays the NCCP Junior Raiders from Ottawa. On Sept. 2, the Lightning Juniors play Team Alaska and finish round-robin play later that day against the South Alberta Selects. Lindsay Hill, a third-year centre with the Lightning, notes the Vermont trip is all about team bonding as well as play- ing some top-flight American competi- tion at the tournament. “We’re looking so forward to it,” says Hill at a final practice session at the Ajax Community Centre last Thursday night. “It’s great to bond together and it should be a lot of fun.” After finishing fourth at the NAHA event last season, Hill says the Lightning are looking forward to bettering that re- sult this time around. “I think we’re going to do really well this year. They’re going to have some good competition there, but I think our team can keep up with them.” Last year, Hill recalls the U.S. teams were mixed in terms of their competi- tiveness, with the Junior Lightning meet- ing some very good teams, as well as some that weren’t quite in their com- petitive strata. “Some of the teams were very good competition for us, so we really have to step up to play them. But, others weren’t quite to our level,” she says. Junior Lightning head coach Ken Mulgrew notes the time in Vermont serves a dual purpose: preparing the team for the upcoming PWHL season, as well as exposing the players to a number of NCAA scouts that attend the NAHA event to recruit players for their hockey programs. “It’s about team building and setting our goals and objectives,” he explains. “We don’t talk about winning. If we lose and meet our objectives, then it’s a good season. But, if we win and don’t meet our objectives, it’s not so good.” This year’s Lightning team will have a hard act to follow, as last year’s team played six players on the Ontario ‘Blue’ and ‘Red’ under-18 teams, which com- peted at the national under-18 showcase. Last year’s squad also earned provincial silver. But, Mulgrew says this year’s squad could be even better than last season’s. “This is the best team we’ve put to- gether in three years. We’ve closed the gap between the first and 15th player this year,” he says. Returning players Kirsten Roach and Hill will lead a team that’s also picked up Caroline Krisciunas from Thunder Bay, who played for Ontario ‘Blue’ last year, and Lori Anflick, who played for On- tario ‘Red’ last season. Goaltender Lisa Plenderleith has also joined the Junior Lightning this season, having played for Bluewater of the PWHL last season. During the course of their 32-game PWHL regular-season schedule this year, the Junior Lightning will play at tourna- ments in Clarkson University in Septem- ber and Cornell University in October.

Jeff Zywicki, of Pickering, who split his time between the Redmen and the Denver Outlaws of Major League La- crosse this season, reached the cham- pionship game of the field league this past weekend. That, too, ended in disap- pointing fashion, as his Outlaws dropped a 23-12 decision to the Philadelphia Barrage despite a goal from Zywicki. He fired home four goals in a 23-14 win over San Francisco in the semifinals. Aces come up aces at Presidents Cup DURHAM — The Wellington Aces are the senior ‘B’ lacrosse champions of Canada. The team that hails from the Ontario Lacrosse Association’s senior ‘B’ league went wire-to-wire to win the Presidents Cup last weekend, emblematic of na- tional supremacy at that level. The Aces posted a 5-0 record in round-robin play and, in the final, downed the Sherwood Park Outlaws from Alberta 9-5. The Aces gained entrance to the Presidents Cup after winning the OLA senior ‘B’ crown with a three-games- to-one series victory over the Ajax- Pickering Rock in the championship final. [ Hockey ] Panthers wheeling and dealing PICKERING — The Pickering Pan- thers continue to shape their lineup for the upcoming season with two trades pulled off this week. The OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League club acquired goal- tender Marc Stuart from the Oakville Blades for future considerations. Stuart, 19, played sparingly for the Blades during the regular season last year, posting an 8-2 record in 10 games, with a goals- against average of 2.60. His work- load, however, increased in the playoffs as he played 13 games, posted a 10-2 record and had a sterling 2.60 goals-against av- erage. Stuart is likely to assume the starting role with the Panthers with Connor Sampson, who played junior ‘C’ hockey with the Port Perry MoJacks last season, as the backup. In addition, the Panthers dealt vet- eran Tomek Budziakowski to the Colling- wood Blues of the North Conference in exchange for forward Josh Booth. Booth, 19, scored 18 goals and added 31 assists for Collingwood last season. The Panthers hosted the Bowman- ville Eagles in pre-season action at the Pickering Recreation Complex Tuesday night, with the result unavailable at press time. The Panthers and Eagles play a re- match in Bowmanville on Sept. 3. [ Rowing ] McBean in town for UOIT commissioning DURHAM — Va r sity rowing at the University of Ontario Institute of Technol- ogy is about to become a reality. Earlier this year, it was announced the school would create a rowing team in conjunction with the Durham Rowing Club in Port Perry, and on Sept. 1, ev- erything will come to a head with the of- ficial commissioning of the UOIT varsity rowing club. It will take place at the rowing club’s boathouse at Rotary Park, and as an added bonus will feature a little Olympic content. Marnie McBean, former Canadian gold medallist from the 1992 games in Barcelona, will be on hand for the fes- tivities as one of the guest speakers. McBean has quite the rowing resume as she captured gold in pairs and eights rowing in 1992, and in the 1996 Games in Atlanta she won the double sculls. There will be a ceremonial signing of an authentic UOIT oar as a commemora- tive souvenir of the occasion, along with a formal tour of the facility. The event will get underway at 10 a.m. Ajax Attack look to make inroads Revamped junior ‘A’ squad has a veteran presence this season By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — Ajax Attack head coach Carey Durant believes this year’s junior ‘A’ hockey team will be vastly superior to last year’s incarnation. “People are going to be surprised with the team this year. We’re going to have a good hockey team,” says Durant, during a lunch break between workout sessions at the Attack camp Monday morning. The statement’s pretty heady stuff, bearing in mind the trials and tribu- lations of the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League club a season ago. The newly named Attack, under the new owner- ship of Toron- to car dealer Robert Stein, struggled from the get-go last season. Inexperience throughout the lineup, not to mention an abbreviated pre-season owing to the late sale of the team, culminated in a last-place finish in the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League’s South Conference. All told, the Attack managed only five wins last season. This season, however, the core players are a year older, augmented by a number of older junior players acquired over the summer, a No. 1 goaltender signed from the U.S. ranks, and a solid group of incoming rookies, which could enable the once-feeble Attack to climb up the standings. The Attack took 35 players still on the training camp roster to Huntsville last weekend to a tournament dubbed the ‘Cottage Cup’, which featured the North Bay Skyhawks and the Manitou- lin Islanders from the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League and the Attack, Huntsville-Muskoka Otters and the Seguin Bruins from the OPJHL. After losing its first two games of the tournament, 4-3 to Seguin and 6-3 to North Bay, Ajax bounced back to defeat Huntsville 4-1 and Manitoulin 6-1 to earn a place in the semifinal. The Attack, however, lost to North Bay 4-1. Using a different lineup each game, mostly to give his ‘bubble’ players a chance to either play their way on or off the roster, the result was better than he envisioned, says Durant. “I think we performed as good as I thought they would,” says Durant of the pre-season tourney. “If we would have dressed our actual starting team all the time we wouldn’t have lost a game.” So far, the team has committed to six players from last year’s squad, with another five players away this week at Ontario Hockey League camps, who may rejoin the Attack following OHL tryouts. Forwards Michael Aiello, Jor- dan So, Mark Schiraldi, and defencemen Peter Drikos, who returned to Ajax from the St. Michael’s Buzzers, and Keegan McFa rlane are returning. Away at OHL camps are Brad Sullivan (Peterborough Petes), Kyle Ramsay (Erie Otters), Mark D’alessandro (Barrie Colts) and Dan- iel Stein (Windsor Spitfires). One other player on the Attack tryout roster, Kyle Neadles, is at the Spitfires’ camp. Acquired over the summer was a trio of Ajax players -- forwards Chuck Ma- cLennan, Craig MacDonald and Jamie Kennedy -- who toiled for the Hunts- ville-Muskoka Otters last season. Also brought on board were forwards Shane Heffernan of the Waterloo Siskins of the Midwestern Junior ‘B’ Hockey League, and Ryan Algar of the Alliston Hornets of the Georgian Mid-Ontario Junior ‘C’ Hockey League. The Attack also signed goaltender Eric See. The 20-year-old netminder played in Florida last season and is expected to earn the No. 1 job in Ajax. Durant hopes the arrival of See will mark the end of the goaltending carousel that proved frus- trating last season. “We think Eric See is the real deal. He’s going to give the team a lot of confi- dence in our goaltending. But, it’s really unclear right now who will back him up,” says Durant. “We knew (goaltending) was something we had to address right away.” Of the rookies, the Attack have signed Robert Sweeney from the Toronto Junior Canadians midgets, Paul Chiasson and Adam Place from the Markham midgets, and Nick LeBoutillier, of Ajax, who split time between the Streetsville Derbys and minor hockey last season. The Attack continues pre-season play against the Bramalea Blues in Bramalea tonight. The teams are in Ajax for a re- turn game Thursday at 7 p.m. A.J.

Just click hereDolphins football teams remain unbeaten DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering Dol- phins Football Club teams are still per- fect in the 2006 season, although they played their first two games of the sea- son on the road. The Dolphins’ tyke, atom and pee- wee football squads started the Cen- tral Ontario Minor Football League (COMFL) season strongly after record- ing victories over the York Region Raid- ers and the Burlington Stampeders. The Dolphins’ teams play their first home games of the season against the York-Simcoe Youngbucs at Pickering’s Kinsmen Park on Labour Day, Mon- day, Sept. 4, with the tykes at 9:30 a.m. and the atoms at 11:30 a.m., followed by the peewees at 1:30 p.m. The peewees kept their perfect 2-0 record intact with a narrow 28-24 vic- tory over the Stampeders in Burlington last weekend. Quarterback Zach Booth executed the offensive game plan with touchdown passes to Delino Smith and Kurlan Cadet. Smith finished the day with a game-high three touch- downs and two converts. The Dolphins’ defence played tough against Burlington’s running game, forcing the Stampeders to throw the ball. Burlington completed some pass- es at the end of the fourth quarter, put- ting pressure on the Dolphins defence, but it was too little too late as they ran out of time. The peewees defeated York Region 40-12 in Week 1 in Markham. Meanwhile, the Dolphins’ atoms im- proved to 2-0 by blanking arch-rival Burlington 30-0. For the Dolphins, it was a rematch from last year’s COMFL championship game where the Stamps pulled out a narrow title victory. In the first play of the game, a tackle by Kempton Constable-Clarke pinned Burlington deep in their end following the kickoff. Cornerback Shaq Lawrence later recovered a fumble on the Stamps first offensive series. The first quarter ended in a score- less draw, pointing to a possible de- fensive battle. That was, however, not to be the case as the Dolphins opened up their offence considerably in the second quarter. Slotback Den- ver Wright scored first on a 40-yard end around. Kicker Luke Taylor Eskins’ convert was good making the score 8-0. With good field position provided by the Dolphins’ defence, the offence struck again as running back Lawrence scored on a 55-yard run for a 14-0 lead. Quarterback Michael Stobbart execut- ed a quarterback sneak up the middle for a 48-yard touchdown. The convert was good making it 22-0 at half time. An interception by Dolphins’ defen- sive back AJ Thomas set the tone for the second half. Early in the fourth, Denver Wright scored on a 15-yard run with the convert by Eskins up- ping the score to 30-0. Quarterback Damien White handed off to running back Keith Cyrus who ran 29 yards for the first down to end the contest. The Dolphins’ defence was awesome as the ‘Wright’ brothers, defensive back Denver Wright and linebacker Dondre Wright, led the team with seven tackles each. Defensive linemen Rae Grant and Justin Smith and defensive back Brad Staite also had big games. Offensive players of the game were Stobbart and fullback Keldyn Ahlstedt. Defensive players of the game were defensive tackle Justin Smith and line- backer Dondre Wright. In We ek 1, the Dolphins atoms blitzed the York Region Raiders 69- 0. Ajax-Pickering outscored the hosts 34-0 in the first half en route to a solid victory. All told, the Dolphins’ defence had two interceptions, a touchdown and allowed 12 yards running. The of- fence scored nine touchdowns, rushed for 273 yards and passed for 40 yards. Offensive players of the game were centre Hayden McNamee and wide receiver Leigh Philip. Defensive play- ers of the game were Luke Farnell and Shakir Lewis. The Dolphins’ tykes remained un- defeated with a 6-0 victory over Burl- ington. With one second left in the first half and the ball at the Dolphins’ 35- yard line, tight end Spencer Thomas took the ball on a reverse, managing to break it to the outside and outran all the Stampeder defenders to score the lone major of the game. The second half was a defensive struggle as linemen Nathaniel Benja- min, Malik Nembhard, Austin Reed, Yasean Steenson, Edward Williams and Alfred Green controlled the line and allowed middle linebackers Mathew Williams and Morgan Humes freedom to move around, keeping all runs up the middle to a minimum. The Stamps’ running game was shut down by outside linebackers Stuart MacKen- zie, Cameron Taylor and Michael Glib- bery and cornerbacks Raishaun Provo and Spencer Thomas. Safeties Ignatius Pitt, Jackson Lyder, Dyllon Barrett and Darnel Jarrett took away the pass. Two quarterback sacks in the second half by Edward Williams and Stuart MacKenzie stopped Burlington cold. In their COMFL season debut, the Dolphins’ tykes scored a solid 53-12 victory over the York Region Raiders. The Dolphins’ defence recovered a fumble on the second play of the game and the offence took over and moved the ball 75 yards to score on a long run by Morgan Humes. The follow- ing kickoff was recovered by Cameron Ta ylor and again the offence scored with Raishaun Provo running the ball in for the major. The Raiders could not correct their problems covering the kickoffs and again Cameron Taylor re- covered the kick off. The offence again capitalized as Humes scored again on an aggressive run up the middle. Dolphins’ Jackson Lyder gave him- self a birthday gift as he returned a punt for yet another touchdown. Rion Johnson, Riley Steenson, Austin Benn, Barrington Smith and Spencer Thomas also put up points.

PICKERING — A Pickering hockey player has re-signed with the Columbia (South Caro- lina) Inferno of the East Coast Hockey League for the coming campaign. Jeff Miles, a 6-foot, 190-pound forward, re- turns to Columbia after appearing in 19 games for the Inferno, where he netted nine goals and 14 assists for 23 points. Miles was traded to the Inferno from the Utah Grizzlies for Eric Nel- son and Scott Basiuk in February. He played in eight American Hockey League games last season recording two penalty minutes. “Jeff is an elite player at our level and is an outstanding signing for us. I’m excited that Jeff has decided to stay in Columbia and help us reach our goals as an organization,” said Inferno head coach Troy Mann, in a press re- lease. During the 2004-05 season, Miles played for the ECHL’s Reading Royals scoring 19 goals and 19 assists for 38 points in 37 games. He also skated in 28 games for the Manchester Monarchs of the AHL with five goals and one assist. He played his collegiate career with the University of Vermont from 2000 to 2004. He played in 132 games, scoring 45 goals, 82 as- sists for 127 points. “I am looking forward to continuing my hockey career in Columbia and help get the Inferno back into the Kelly Cup playoffs,” said Miles. “I got to know coach Mann after my trade to Columbia and found him to be a good young coach and very professional.” Pickering’s Miles wants to light fire under Inferno E agle R idge Dental Care Family & Cosmetic Dentistry (905) 426-8626 603 Church St. Unit 4, Ajax, ON L1T 0B8 (Corner of Church & Delaney) OPEN EVENINGS AND SATURDAYS Children Welcome • Same-Day Emergencies • Free Consultations Trav el Insurance Summer Sale on Now!

KORTEKAAS, Maureen Andrea April 6 1983 – August 28, 2006 It is with great sadness and sor- row that our family announces the death of Mau- reen Kortekaas, peacefully in her sleep, at home in Ajax, Ontario on Monday August 28 at the age of 23. Maureen was born a normal vibrant, happy baby girl on April 6, 1983. At the age of 3 1 months, Maureen’s life changed forever when she suffered an adverse reaction to the DPTP/Whoop- ing cough vaccine. Maureen had an intense will to live, struggling with the ravages of multiple physical and intellectual disabilities which resulted from the acquired brain injury delivered by the vaccine. Maureen was and will continue to be an enormous inspiration to us all. She overcame many obstacles and crises in her short life and taught us the true meaning of courage. Maureen is the beloved mid- dle child of Henry and Katie Kortekaas of Ajax; she is survived by her older brother Kevin and his wife Tr icia of St. Catharines, and her younger sister Ju- lie of London, paternal Grandmother Johanna Kor- tekaas of Oshawa and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. Maureen lived a courageous life sur- rounded daily by loving family and many caregivers and nurses who helped her battle for a fully en- gaged, vibrant and giving life. Maureen loved to laugh and will always be an inspiration to us all. Her beautiful smile would light up a room and her love was uncompromising leaving those who knew her a lasting legacy. She was truly unique.The family is eternally grateful to the many wonderful and kind team members that provided loving and nurturing care over the years, especially Jocelyn Imperial and Jonnalyn Abalos, the Home Relief team of nurses, Dr. Lawrence Tanious, and many other medical and therapeutic providers who all contributed to making Maureen’s last few years as comfortable as possible. The Viewing will take place Thursday, August 31, 2006 from 2 to 4 pm and 7 to 9 pm at the Simple Alternative Funeral Centres at 1057 Brock Road in Pickering. The Fu- neral Service will take place Friday, September 1, 2006 at 9:30 am at St. Francis de Sales Roman Catholic Church at 1001 Ravenscroft Road, Ajax, with a reception to follow at St. Francis de Sales Church. In lieu of flowers, the family would sincerely appreciate a charitable donation to the Childhood Cancer Research Foundation.

The talented Port Perry resi- dent does the first when she directs or choreographs a play, the second in her basket art- istry. This month, both forms of her weaving are on display as she directs ‘Ethan Claymore ‘for the Port Perry Players and as she opens a solo exhibit, Moving Still, at the Kent Farn- dale Gallery at Scugog Memo- rial Public Library. “I realize it is weaving, just weaving of another type,” Nich- olson said of her work on stage. “I find they feed each other very well.” Directing actors or choreo- graphing dancers requires her to take human materials and work them into one work of art. Making her colourful baskets requires her to take various materials, her favourite being rattan and work them into bas- kets. The first is a very external process, she said. The latter is very much internal. “I try for balance,” she said. Nicholson, who has worked on productions, both on and off stage, throughout Durham, took up basketry in 1995. Be- fore that she’d spent 20 years as an independent dancer, chore- ographer and teacher (includ- ing 15 years with the Toronto Dance Theatre) and then turn- ing to the art of hand-made and designed knits, both indepen- dently and with the collective Knitknetwork. Her designs ap- peared in Vogue Knitting and she had one work featured in both City and Country Home and Canadian Home. But at one point, she looked for something to replace knit- ting when she gave up her home studio in order to turn it into a bedroom for her daugh- ter. (That’s more balance, she noted.) Then, she took a one-day basket workshop and was hooked and has since been exploring basketry’s sculptural potential to express form and meaning. Moving Still, which opens Aug. 26 and runs until Sept. 20, features her latest creations, in a variety of materials including rattan and fibres. The title refers to new direc- tions she’s taking in her art and also to the sense of movement in the lines of her inanimate work. “I’m still moving forward. I’m moving still,” she said. “The pieces are still but there’s an element of movement.” Just as there is movement in dance, her baskets show move- ment in lines and her use of space and volume, the tactile quality of materials and co- lour. She explores the concert of what a basket is, she said. “It’s a container but there are many things that are contain- ers,” she said. “Our bodies are containers if you think about it. But are we baskets?” She added she hasn’t strayed too far from the idea of bas- kets/containers in her exhibit. “They still have a sense of form.” Nicholson, part owner of Meta4 Contemporary Craft Gallery in Port Perry, is a mem- ber of the Scugog Shores Spin- ners and Weavers Guild, the Basketry Network, numerous galleries, a founding member of the Lake Scugog Spring Stu- dio Tour and the Ontario Crafts Council. She’s received the Kent Farndale Bursary for the Arts and the Mary Robertson Te xtile Award. Yo u can view her basketry at the gallery, 231 Water St. An opening reception will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. on Aug. 26. Yo u can see her dramatic artistry at Town Hall 1873 Aug. 25 and 26, 31 and Sept. 1, 2. For tickets, contact Henshall’s on Queen Street, 905-985-1965. Celia Klemenz/News Advertiser photo Carey Nicholson, fibre artist, will be mounting an exhibition of her work titled ‘Moving Still’ at the Kent Farndale Gallery. The exhibit runs until Sept. 20 in the gallery located within the Scugog Memorial Public Library on Wa t er Street.
