So said many people — in- cluding a Superior Court judge, a Crown prosecutor, homicide detectives and the man’s griev- ing relatives — as his killer was sent to prison for life earlier this week. If a single conclusion can be drawn from the two lengthy murder trials that saw two young men sent away for life, it is this: The 28-year-old Mr. Jones, coldly gunned down on a dark Febru- ary night just steps away from the warmth of his family home, died doing the right thing. Returning to his family’s new house on the evening of Feb. 4, 2001, Mr. Jones was confronted by a man who stepped out of the shadows of a nearby alleyway. It is believed he struggled with the man, who fired a shot. Mr. Jones turned and fled with his attack- ‘Honest, brave man’ target of murder plot Pickering politicians praise transport minister for listening By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer PICKERING — A review is un- derway that will consider the role of airports in southern Ontario and the results could mean the shelving of plans for an airport in north Pickering. Federal Transport Minister Jean Lapierre announced Friday a “comprehensive due diligence review of all related airports stud- ies” by his department. The announcement is being praised by opponents of a pro- posed airport in north Pickering, including Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland. “I’m ecstatic. The minister re- ally listened to the community and he also listened to what I had to say. I’m really, really excited about this,” he said. “This is precisely what both the community and I have been ask- ing for. This is essentially a com- promise position of what the City wants and what we’re doing now. It’s a good position to take. I don’t think it’s appropriate for Picker- ing to do a peer review. It’s more appropriate it’s done and led by Transport.” The review will examine the ability of airports in southern On- tario, including both Hamilton and Kitchener-Waterloo, to accommo- date future air traffic growth. “O nce this study and review have been completed, my department will be in position to recommend next steps, including whether or not to proceed to a federal envi- ronmental assessment for a future possible airport,” said Mr. Lapierre in a press release. “The findings Jeff Beukeboom Customer Appreciation Day Win a $2,500 Vacation Voucher meet former N.Y.

One of the concerns I had is Hamilton wasn’t considered. The numbers, looked at from a third-party perspective, (I’m) hoping they will take a step back and really carefully consider what the vi- ability of this option is before we pro- ceed any further.” Wo rk will start immediately and Mr. Holland said he expects the report will go public in early January. Pickering Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles also supports the re- view. “It’s one of the things I’ve been lob- bying for, to expand the area of the study. It’s including Hamilton, and Kitchener-Waterloo. It’s a fairer assess- ment of the need for an airport,” Coun. Pickles stated. “I’ll be lobbying for Pickering to get input into the design of the study. I would like the federal government to seek Pickering’s comments, not only during the study, but what should be studied.” Coun. Pickles said he’s long been opposed to an airport and “I’m a little bit happy this is happening.” Mr. Holland plans to speak to Pick- ering council’s executive committee Monday and he’s hoping to meet with Ajax council in the near future. Mr. Holland is opposed to a Picker- ing airport, but is hoping the review is a comprehensive review of the proposal put forward by the GTAA. “We want to take a look at what the need is, take a look at what makes the most sense from a financial perspec- tive, an environmental perspective and a long-term strategy perspective from the federal government,” he said. The GTAA proposes a ‘regional’ air- port in 2012 at the earliest, a reliever airport for Pearson in 2022 and up to 11.9 million passengers by 2032. “I’m hoping the minister comes to the same conclusion I have on this, that there are a lot of options out there and it really doesn’t make sense to be proceeding with an airport on the Pick- ering lands in the foreseeable future,” Mr. Holland stated.

But GM not ‘let off the hook’ yet, union local president says By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM — While Ford may have been picked by the Canadian Auto Workers as the union’s nego- tiating and strike target, General Motors can’t rest easy. “Just because GM has been... put on the back burner for now, they are not out of the woods,” said CAW Local President Chris Buckley Thursday. “They have in no way been let off the hook.” Traditionally, the union selects one of the Big Three auto com- panies it believes it can negotiate a contract with the easiest, then takes it to the remaining companies as a pattern. GM was eliminated as a target late Wednesday night. Although the Canadian arm of the company had a $500 million prof- it last year, the U.S. side has been struggling with rising costs. “We probably couldn’t get an agreement done with GM because of the financial situation in the U.S.,” Mr. Buckley said. “But it will be very hard for GM to justify not following the pattern” because of the numer- ous awards the Canadian plants re- ceived last year. The CAW will switch to bargain- ing with DaimlerChyrsler if talks with Ford are not progressing by early next week, CAW National President Buzz Hargrove said. If a deal with one of the com- panies is not reached by midnight Sept. 20, the union will strike at the target com- pany. The last strike in Canada was in 1996 when GM would not follow the pattern contract, Mr. Buckley said. Workers walked out for 22 days. Bargaining with the auto giants began in July, but those involved say the talks have become the most dif- ficult in about 25 years because GM and Ford are not making as much profit and losing market share. The CAW represents 17,189 em- ployees in Canada-- 11,991 of which work in Oshawa. Ajax mayor says local residents would benefit By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — Following Chair- man Roger Anderson’s direction, regional council has advised GO Transit that Durham will not help the railway link between Toronto’s Union Station and Pearson Inter- national Airport. Durham council discussed the issue Wednesday, meeting for the first time in the chambers of the new regional headquarters. In a letter from the GO Transit board, chairman Peter Smith notes that some members were concerned at the notion of municipalities paying for the rail link. The same sugges- tion was made in an earlier letter to the board from federal Transport Minister Jean Lapierre. Affirming Transport Canada’s support for the rail link, he states “all three lev- els of government” have a chance to work with the private sector to make the link happen. “The GO board has been fairly clear in its objection to the railway, or at least with us paying,” said Mr. Anderson. However, Ajax Mayor Steve Parish says many Durham residents use Pearson. “A r ail link to Pearson Interna- tional Airport is something that would be beneficial to many people in the Region of Durham,” he said. Mayor Parish says the link is “long overdue,” and that the Re- gion’s standing or transit commit- tees give the issue a detailed look. “It’s not a question of supporting the railway, it’s a question of fund- ing it,” Mr. Anderson replied. He said he found it hard to be- lieve that Durham residents head- ing to the airport would take the GO train and transfer to another set of tracks while lugging baggage. “In many parts of the world, that’s exactly what happens,” Mayor Par- ish said, adding the link has “pro- found implications for transit in the GTA.” In an interview, finance com- missioner Jim Clapp said Durham sends about $3.5 million per year to GO to support its capital pro- gram. The rail link project is not in- cluded in GO’s 10-year capital plan, he said. If GO is looking for more money from Durham, Mr. Clapp said “it would have a major impact on our budget.” durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 11, 2005 PAGE 3 A/P A million dollar idea is in the bag.

He was hit three times before he collapsed on Pickering Beach Road, since renamed Salem Road. He lay there as the killer approached, stood over him tak- ing aim, and fired a final bullet behind his ear. He died on the cold pavement as the shooter fled into the winter gloom. Cosmo Jacobson and his best friend Sean Hall are now in prison serving life sentences for con- spiring and carrying out the murder of Roy Jones. Evidence presented at their trials shows they hunted and killed the man to keep him from testifying in court against Mr. Ja- cobson, also known as Avi Mundy, who faced several years in prison for a brutal home invasion rob- bery in Pickering in June of 2000. When Mr. Jacobson, Mr. Hall and another man pulled up to the locked doors of a mall to withdraw cash on credit cards they stole during that robbery, it was Mr. Jones, a security guard, who es- corted Mr. Jacobson to the bank machine. Although not close, they knew each other from high school days in Pickering. “If anybody asks, you didn’t see me,” Mr. Jacobson said as he left, with several hundred dollars in cash. But when Durham Regional Po- lice arrived at the mall later that day, Mr. Jones identified Cosmo Jacobson as the man who had used the ATM. In doing so, he be- came a key Crown witness in the case against Mr. Jacobson, a sub- urban kid who lived mainly in his mom’s Pickering house, harbour- ing dreams of assuming the gang- sta rapper image he worshipped. Mr. Jones’s decision to act as a witness came as no surprise to the people who knew him. In victim im- pact statements filed with the courts, they described him as a forthright, stand-up man who cared for his family and com- munity. “Roy respected the laws of God and also the laws of Canada,” one aunt wrote. When he sentenced Mr. Jacobson to life on Tuesday, Justice Donald Ferguson provided his own as- sessment of the vic- tim, calling Mr. Jones “an honest and brave man. “Mr. Jones is a hero,” the judge said. “And the whole commu- nity owes him a debt of gratitude.” In contrast, he is- sued a harsh rebuke to Mr. Jacobson, who minutes earlier had stood sobbing in the prisoner’s dock as he tendered a last- minute apology to Mr. Jones’s family. “The evidence indi- cates he is amoral and extremely dangerous with no in- tention of mending his ways,” Jus- tice Ferguson said as the killer sat, head bowed. He called prospects for rehabilitation for Mr. Jacobson, who is just 30, “dim.” Outside the courtroom that af- ternoon, after Mr. Jacobson had been shackled and escorted to the police vehicle that would transfer him to the penitentiary, prosecu- tor Paul Murray and Durham ho- micide Detective Dave Henderson paused to speak to reporters. They noted how Mr. Jones’s ac- tions had led to the arrest of a man who had carried out a brutal and callous robbery, threatening, beating and binding a middle- aged woman and her son in their home as he searched for money and drugs. “It’s up to the community to stand up to these guys,” Det. Hen- derson said. The police, he said, cannot do their job without people stepping up with information -- a prospect, he acknowledged, that can be terrifying in a time when thugs have no compunction about intimidating witnesses. A question was posed to Mr. Murray: What do you say to some- one who knows something, but is reluctant to come forward? He paused for several seconds before replying. “Ultimately,” the prosecutor fi- nally said, “we still outnumber the bad guys. “It’s up to us to do the right thing.” Roy Jones Killers serving life sentences for killing witness to crime Cosmo Jacobson rrs TM 209 Bloor St. E OSHAWA 404-6776 www.ossolighting.com MON - WED 9:30AM-6:00PM, THURS - FRI 9:30AM-8:00PM, SAT 9:30AM-5:00PM OSSO L I G H T I N GOSSO LL I G H T I N G SAVE ON...

P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 11, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Gunshot reporting law adds to safety Two weeks ago doctors weren’t obligated to report gun- shot victims; if they wanted to they could call police and tell them they were treating a person with a bullet wound. That all changed on Sept. 1 with the introduction of the Mandatory Gunshot Wounds Reporting Act. Now, if someone enters a hospital emergency department it’s the law that a doctor, or staff designate, notify police. If it’s a private facility like a walk-in clinic, or a physician’s office there isn’t a requirement to report the incident. It’s a loophole that should be addressed in the future. “Guns pose a unique threat to the safety of our com- munities,” said Monte Kwinter, Community Safety and Cor- rectional Services minister. “The policy regarding reporting gunshot wounds to police has varied from hospital to hospital, even doctor to doctor. We’re fixing the current imbalance in which hospitals and medical staff are faced with the di- lemma of whether or not to report patients treated for gunshot wounds.” Ontario is following the lead of 45 American states while leading the charge here in Canada. To some this new law might seem like an infringement on patients’ rights and could have the inadvertent result of com- promising confidentiality. But, the head of the Ontario Medi- cal Association sees the new law as a delicate balance between public safety and the right to privacy. “Physicians recognize the special threat that guns pose, “ said Dr. John Rapin. “We are also mindful of our ongoing duty of confidentiality to our patients and are pleased that this legislation prevents detailed clinical information from being released to police.” Durham Regional Police like the added tool in their fight against crime. In Durham, the hospitals and the police have had a strong relationship and this legislation will only strength- en it, says police spokesman Dave Selby. He says police are happy to know who is involved in gunplay as it assists them in the fight against these serious types of crimes. While some will argue it’s an unnecessary law, if used prop- erly it could protect a patient or someone else from death or serious injury. It could also assist police in the prevention, detection or prosecution of serious crime. Time will tell if this law actually makes Ontario safer as Mr. Kw inter claims; at the least it’s a step in the right direction.

He may have many faults, but McGuinty is getting this one right D alton McGuinty and his Liberal government have been treated to a lot of scorn since being elected. Rightfully so in most cases, with a long stream of broken election promises in their wake. So it’s hard to give them credit when something goes right. But for a mo- ment, we have to set aside our scorn and give the Liberals some credit, as the move to reduce class sizes will prove to be a good one. Unfortunately, like so many things they do, their plan is wide-open to criticism. Critics have concerns that we won’t know how well this is working out before the next election. They want to be able to evaluate the plan’s suc- cess up against another promise the government has made, that being that 75 per cent of students will meet Grade 3 and 6 testing standards. But that’s just politics, really. The simple fact is, although it’s not some- thing that can be proven conclusively, students must have a better chance to succeed when they have more one- on-one time with a teacher. Everyone learns at a different rate, but educators will tell you, given smaller class sizes, their chances to help students advance increases. One of the reasons people pay extra for their kids to attend private schools is for this opportunity. Why on Earth should we question our public system for bridging that gap a little? Can you imagine the next Ontar- io government increasing class sizes again? At that point the critics will turn around and find different studies to at- tack the government of the day for its education plan. Politics is a never-end- ing cycle that way. No, put this one to bed now. If peo- ple need a reason not to vote for Mc- Guinty’s Liberals, don’t use the lack of proof on this commitment to smaller classes as an excuse. Students get a better chance to learn in this way, it just puts the onus on them to take ad- vantage of it. A better concern for critics and the government to look at would be the curriculum. It’s time to find out if what we’re teaching our kids is giving them the knowledge to succeed in today’s world. For web-watchers, by mid-Septem- ber you’ll have a chance to follow the results of the move to smaller class sizes on the Education Ministry’s web- site at www.edu.gov.on.ca. The Prov- ince is set to start posting early results of its class-size reduction efforts there. David Stell’s column appears every third Sunday. E-mail dstell@durhamregion. com. Can’t complain about class sizes EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com David Stell news editor Whistle-blower faces several charges By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — A resolution could soon be reached on charges against a Durham Regional Police officer whose allegations of mis- conduct by fellow officers set off a probe that lasted more than two years. A hearing in Whitby Wednes- day morning ended after just a few minutes when the prosecu- tor, Staff Inspector Brian Fazack- erley, asked for a two-week ad- journment. He said he expects the prosecution and defence in the case against Constable Bob Chopee will make a joint submis- sion to the hearing officer Sept. 19. Neither Const. Chopee nor his lawyer attended the hearing, at the new police headquarters in Whitby. Neither was in atten- dance when a similar meeting oc- curred in July. Const. Chopee, a former mem- ber of the Drug Enforcement Unit, faces two counts of insubordina- tion and two counts of discred- itable conduct under the Police Services Act. Police brass will not discuss circumstances that led to the charges. Const. Chopee is the officer who wrote a letter to outgoing Chief Kevin McAlpine in Janu- ary of 2003, alleging misconduct and criminal activity among his former DEU colleagues. The al- legations sparked an investigation that saw the Ontario Provincial Police brought in to conduct a re- view of hundreds of investigations conducted by the unit. The probe has resulted in a list of 37 recommendations to be im- plemented by officers and super- visors. Police brass have confirmed the charges against Const. Chopee do not relate to the DEU investigation or his role as a whistle-blower. Home invasion suspects busted after chase PICKERING — Two Ajax man are facing dozens of charges in con- nection with a violent home inva- sion robbery after crashing a stolen vehicle Thursday. Ju st before 5 p.m., officers on pa- trol in the area of Whites Road and Sheppard Avenue located a stolen BMW vehicle with two men in- side, Durham Regional Police said. Several cruisers converged on the area, blocking the road as the SUV approached. The driver of the SUV veered over a curb to avoid police, los- ing control of the vehicle. It rolled down an embankment, landing on the grounds of Dunbarton High School, police said. The suspects kicked out win- dows and fled on foot, but were quickly rounded up by police. Police say the two men are sus- pects in a July home invasion rob- bery in Pickering. A 36-year-old man was awak- ened in his Valley Ridge Crescent home around 4 a.m. on July 26 by two men who roughed him up before binding him and making off with a large plasma screen TV, the man’s cellphone and wallet, and his car. Kevin Marlon Harris, 25, of Pat- terson Crescent in Ajax is charged with theft over $5,000; 16 counts of use of a stolen credit card; nine counts of break and enter, seven counts of possession of property obtained by crime, and breach of recognizance.

A/P PAGE 8 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 11, 2005 durhamregion.com Development creating challenges for farmers This is the third in a four-part series looking at the state of farm- ing in Ajax and Pickering now and examining what the future holds. By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM — It isn’t easy being green. The hordes of people migrating east to Ajax and Pickering over the years talk about how it’s quiet and peaceful with open land and rolling fields. But those fields are filled with the corn or cows of the few farmers still trying to make a living in the area – and the hordes of people aren’t making their job any easier. “Everybody wants to see the greenspace but they don’t want to put up with what it takes,” said Kelly O’Connor. The O’Connor family has been farming at the northwest corner of Lakeridge and Rossland roads since 1832. They are primarily a dairy op- eration with 300 cows, but also grow corn and alfalfa hay. Until recently there was a buffer of open space that extended from Whitby to Harwood Avenue but now that’s gone. In its place are a lot of houses, with the newest subdivi- sion now being finished near Aud- ley Road, just west of the O’Connor farm. Mr. O’Connor expects to hear complaints from the residents now moving into those homes. “When the fall comes and we start spreading manure it will be interest- ing to see how the people in those houses feel,” he said. The shrinking land mass also makes the farming operation less vi- able, Mr. O’Connor said. They used to rent some of the fields that are now subdivisions, as well they farm on the east side of Lakeridge Road on land that hasn’t been protected in the Province’s Greenbelt. Without a critical mass of land, he said, farming becomes more dif- ficult. But development doesn’t just mean a shrinking rural landscape, it also means a whole host of prob- lems and challenges for near-urban farmers. “With development it’s thrown a wrench into things. People don’t want us on the roads,” Mr. O’Connor said. “Traffic is going to be an issue for many years now.” Mr. O’Connor has several inter- esting stories to tell of the challeng- es that come with his new urban neighbours. “People will stop on the side of the road and use our field as a soc- cer pitch,” he said. As well, at least once a week people come to the farm wanting to buy milk -- it’s ille- gal to sell it to them – and someone recently went through the trouble to drive a kilometre into his field to dump a bunch of tires. Other farmers share similar chal- lenges. Neil Guthrie farms crops north of the O’Connors on Taunton Road. He’s been there since 1981. “Traffic has very little consider- ation for agricultural equipment,” he said, adding it’s “a bigger headache” now to move a piece of equipment across the road. Mr. Guthrie would like to see more support for farmers and peo- ple educated about the industry. He sites pesticides as one exam- ple of an issue people complain about but don’t really understand. “They want everything to look picture perfect but they don’t under- stand how (that’s done),” he said. As president of the Brooklin Spring Fair, Mr. Guthrie hears the misconceptions about the agricul- ture industry first-hand on educa- tion days, such as the students who think milk just comes from the gro- cery store. Mr. Guthrie said once people are told how the industry works and what farmers do, they have a whole different response. Marlene Werry, the Region of Durham’s rural economic develop- ment officer, began meeting with area farmers to talk about these is- sues after she started the position in October. Her next step is to help educate the public, hopefully mak- ing it easier to farm in the urban shadow. “It’s just that awareness that the industry is out there,” she said. “Peo- ple see an empty field or a laneway into what they see as an empty field so they dump in there.” Trespassing of a different kind has also become an issue. “I know in Ajax they’re seeing a lot of trespassing and theft of sweet corn, apples and pumpkins,” Ms. We rry said. In addition to the problems they hear about, a lot goes unreported, she said, because farmers are afraid of retribution. A few farmers de- clined to be interviewed for this series. Although there are many challenges for farmers in Ajax and Pickering already, Ms. Werry said they still have an opportunity to save the industry. “What we’d like to see is buffer zones so there would be spaces left between houses and the agricul- tural area,” she said, whether that buffer is a ravine, trail or forest. That is going to be part of the Re- gion’s long-range planning to help support agricultural. Ms. Werry said the creation of her position is an indication of how important the in- dustry is in Durham. The provincial greenbelt is a policy many farmers in both mu- nicipalities have to deal with and they are waiting to see what the relatively new legislation means for them. Both Mr. O’Connor and Mr. Guthrie’s properties are covered by the legislation. Local farmers have also been af- fected by issues facing producers across the country, such as mad cow and low commodity prices. If those challenges weren’t enough, Pickering farmers have to deal with a few extras: the planned Hwy. 407 extension, the proposed Pickering airport, the impending development in Seaton, and the continuing controversy surround- ing the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve. “It’s hard for farmers to plan for the future when there is so much uncertainty for them,” Ms. Werry said. “It’s hard on them to do good solid business planning.” Next: The end of farming is near. newsdurhamregion.com searchkeyword: urbanfarmer In suburbia’s shadow 5RBAN &A RMER Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo The O’Connor farm has a long history in Ajax. The dairy operation is run today by brothers Kelly and Sean O’Connor. The two have begun to consider their options as farming has become more difficult with the fast approaching urban development in the area. They don’t know how much longer they can survive at their Rossland and Lakeridge roads location. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 11, 2005 PAGE 9 A/P No bon bons for pregnant women or new moms By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — On a scorching July morning, fitness instructor Marni Basic stretches lei- surely at Lakeside Park in Ajax, as she waits for her students to arrive. Squinting in the sun, she reluctantly al- lows that today’s class will have to be taken down a notch due to the heat, but says the workout will still be a good one. “We’re definitely going to work up a sweat,” she laughs. “There’s this myth that pregnant women and new moms are delicate, but get- ting exercise is so important. None of this sitting around with your feet up eating bon- bons.” One by one the mini vans and SUVs begin pulling up to the curb, and women in match- ing pink “FitMom” T-shirts unload strollers, toys, bottles and wiggling babies wearing tiny tank tops. Minutes later, Ms. Basic is leading them briskly down one of the winding park paths, as the babies comfortably recline in their strollers. The hour-long circuit incorporates running, walking and stretching exercises. The stroller class is one of three FitMom classes currently offered in Durham Region, with more on the way this fall. Launched in 2000 by Toronto mother An- drea Page, FitMom is now a provincewide program that offers pre-natal and post-natal fitness classes, as well as personal training and birth services. After spending years working at a gym and listening to new moms complain about the obstacles they encountered, Ms. Basic started FitMom Durham this spring. In addi- tion to being a certified personal trainer, she is a pre- and post-natal fitness specialist and a nutrition and wellness specialist. “Until now, this level of specialization has been very limited if not non-existent in Dur- ham Region, even at the typical gym,” Ms. Basic says. “We’re unique because we incor- porate the babies wherever we can. That way the moms don’t have to worry about finding a baby-sitter or stopping everything if they start to cry.” Until about 20 years ago, pre and post- natal fitness were relatively foreign concepts altogether. To day, despite the fact that most physi- cians encourage expecting moms to stay fit, myths about the dangers of prenatal exer- cise, such as a fallen uterus or injured fetus, persist. One book, the hugely popular Girlfriend’s Guide to Pregnancy discourages exercise completely, while others reference outdat- ed recommendations from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which advise women to walk only. A recent publication from the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada, takes a different view. “In uncomplicated pregnancies, women with or without a previously sedentary life- style should be encouraged to participate in aerobic and strength-conditioning ex- ercises as part of a healthy lifestyle,” the report reads. “Recent investigations focus- ing on both aerobic and strength-condition- ing exercise regimens in pregnancy, have shown no increase in early pregnancy loss, late pregnancy complications, abnormal fetal growth, or adverse neonatal outcomes, suggesting that previous recommendations have been overly conservative.” According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, exercising while pregnant can build stamina for labour and delivery, pro- mote better sleep patterns and improve self-image. After the baby is born, regular physical activity can help new moms return to their pre-pregnancy weight, keep energy levels up and even reduce the likelihood that they will suffer from postpartum depres- sion. Canada’s Physical Activity Guide also rec- ommends that new and expecting mothers focus on endurance, flexibility and strength exercises, and start slowly -- especially those who were avid couch potatoes before their pregnancy. Even in the first trimester, moms- to-be are encouraged to avoid any activities that could result in a hard fall, like cycling, skiing or horseback riding. “Being active just makes me feel good, and it really does makes having a new baby easier,” says Pickering mom Kim Nolan, who brings 4-month-old son Ryan to FitMom classes, and went to the gym regularly dur- ing her pregnancy. “I love the chance to meet other moms, get out of the house for awhile, and do something good for myself.” Oh baby Breanna Clarke seems ready for feeding as she sucks on the nose of her mom, Elaine. A.J. Groen/News Advertiser photos Fitmom Durham runs fitness programs for new moms, and those who are about to embark on motherhood. During one of the fitness sessions in Ajax, Ryan Allison-Nolan waited patiently in a stroller as (from left) Bobbie Ivankovic, Elizabeth Caise, Fitmom Durham president Marni Basic, Carol Dawson and Kim Nolan went through a stepping exercise.

You both picture your little angel in her pink tutu twirling and leaping on “tippy-toes” to the applause of proud parents and grandparents. It’s a lovely picture, but be careful! That image of the “ballerina” can be misleading. The National Ballet of Canada says that training in ballet technique should begin roughly at the age of eight. Prior to that, dance classes should emphasize “creative movement and eurhythmics”. It is actually unhealthy to introduce many ballet concepts before the age of six or seven. From the time that they are babies, children wiggle, bounce and explore what their bodies can do. Starting at about the age of three, boys and girls begin to hop, gallop, jump and leap, not because they were taught, but by a natural instinct to experiment with movement. And because it is fun! Effective pre-school dance teachers promote and guide this natural instinct. The exploration of each child’s abilities (twirling and leaping on tippy-toes!) is encouraged within the structure of the dance class. It is more important that your three to fi ve year old experience the sensation of “an upside down shape”, the freedom of spinning, and the energy of balancing, rolling, freezing and twisting than that they learn “First Position”. (There will be plenty of time for that later!) One of the most beautiful things about creative dance is that there is no “right” or “wrong”. It is dancing which has no goal other than discovering the abilities of the child’s body and the joy of moving to music. A word to the wise parent – although those tiny little ballet shoes are irresistibly adorable, the fact is that they are very slippery and are inappropriate for this age group. A successful pre-school dance class will be conducted in bare feet. (The good news is bare feet are free, seldom get lost and never get too small!) Little girls who insist on wearing their pink shoes almost always shed them within minutes of the start of a creative dance class. Like so many other things in your child’s development (walking, talking, toilet training) they succeed when they are ready. The material presented in any dance class should be age appropriate. There is absolutely no benefi t in “pushing” them. Students trained in creative dance at the age of three to fi ve have no trouble “catching up” when “real dance steps” are introduced. For many three and four year olds, dance class is their fi rst exposure to a teacher and a group learning environment. It is essential that this is a positive Dance Experience. Creative dance classes are the right place to start! Te rri Robitaille received her training in teaching creative dance to children at York University, where she earned a degree in Fine Arts with a major in Dance. She is the director of The Dance Experience and has been teaching pre school dance classes for over 20 years. Many of her students have gone on to win numerous awards in jazz, tap, ballet, acro and hip hop and have excelled in BATD exams. For more information call 905-686-8335.

JOSEPH A. MISKIN, DENTIST HWY. 401 HWY. 2 WESTNEY RD.HARWOOD AVE.WE ARE AVAILABLE TO SERVE YOU WE WELCOME NEW PATIENTS WE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES What is wrong? The most common fi ndings for Fibromyalgia (FM) are chronic pain, fatigue, pain to touch, sleep disorders and inability to handle stress. There is much similarity to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), which as the name suggests has a greater degree of fatigue. The diagnostic criterion for FM is when 11 or more areas are found to be greatly tender to touch. It is unclear how these disorders begin and exactly what is the cause. There are no spe- cifi c drugs that target the cause of this disease. An area in the brain called the limbic system regulates among other things body rhythms such as sleep/wake cycle and tolerance to stress and pain. When this system does not function properly, the result is the plethora of symptoms found with what is termed FM or CFS. This is why addressing the symptoms of these disorders tends to result in failure to produce long lasting change. What can help? Nerves that lead to organs and muscles exit the spinal column between each vertebra. When vertebrae are misaligned they can put pressure on these nerves and cause interfere to the ner- vous system: this is called a subluxation. This interference can also lead to imbalance in the central nervous system (the brain) through a process called deafferentation. Chiropractic Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is effective in reducing and eliminating this interference caused by subluxations, bringing balance to the nervous system (both peripheral and central) of humankind; in fact, Chiroprac- tors are the only doctors trained to fi nd and adjust these subluxations.

It all looks so refresh- ing when that pop-top is snapped back and the cold, sweet soda comes spraying out. Of course, the ads never mention a thing about the damage that sugary soda is doing to your teeth. A dramatic increase in consumption For many people today, drinking soda pop is an everyday occurrence, rather than the occa- sional treat it used to be. Though many Canadians have been drinking pop for over 100 years, soft drink consumption has increased 500 per cent in the past 50 years. One of every four beverages con- sumed today is a soft drink. Plus, larger quantities are being consumed; a bottle of pop in the 1950s was 6.5 ounces. Today, a 12-ounce can is standard, and a 20-ounce bottle is common. Children, teen- agers and young adults especially have adopted the habit of drinking these high-sugar, high-acid beverages on a daily basis. And their teeth show it. Sugar and acid - a deadly duo Sugar in pop combines with bacteria in your mouth to form acid. This acid, plus the extra acid from soft drinks, attacks the teeth. Many young people who drink pop are students who study and continuously sip soda, which creates an acid bath for their teeth. Plus, sugar itself is converted to acid by the bacteria on the teeth (a 12-ounce soft drink contains between 10 and 12 teaspoons of sugar). Each acid attack lasts about 20 minutes, and they start over again with every sip. Ongoing acid at- tacks weaken tooth enamel. Cavities begin when tooth enamel is damaged. And drinking diet soda won’t save your teeth. Diet pop still has acid that can harm your teeth, and although fruit drinks aren’t carbonated like pop, they too have acid and sugar that can cause decay. Steps to take Short of stopping your consumption of pop, here are some steps you can take to reduce your risks of developing decay: * Drink soda in moderation. * Don’t sip on a soft drink for extended periods of time. Sipping exposes your teeth to prolonged sugar and acid attacks. * Use a straw when you drink to keep the sugar away from your teeth. After drinking, rinse your mouth with water to dilute the sugar and acid that can cause decay. * If you drink pop or juice before going to bed, be sure to brush your teeth. The liquid pools in your mouth and coats your tongue and teeth with sugar added. * Read labels. Regular pop is high in sugar and acid and diet pop contains acid too. Both sugar and acid are bad for your teeth. * Drink water instead. It has no sugar, no acid, no calories and it’s healthy. * Get regular dental checkups and cleanings. Flossing regu- larly and using a fl uoride toothpaste will help remove bacteria (plaque) and help prevent tooth decay. Conferences leave lasting positive impressions I attended two race rela- tions events recently. The first was in Battle Creek, just outside of Flint, Mich., and was titled ‘The Institute for the Healing of Racism.’ The second event was staged at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Edu- cation (OISE) in Toronto. It was titled ‘Health Equity and Diversity Conference.’ Both events dealt with many issues, including ana- lysing different forms of rac- ism -- individual, systemic and institutionalized in a very direct manner. The Institute approach was of the opinion that racism is an outgrowth of a multicultural society that is ignorant of the principle: The oneness of humankind. Attendees were encouraged to consult, share experi- ences of racism, reflect on their own racist thoughts and behaviours, and not to be judgemental of others. Racism was viewed as a disease in society. The pre- scription for the disease of racism, was the active pro- motion of the oneness of mankind. Institute partici- pants were encouraged to be catalysts for change in their respective communi- ties. Facilitators presented the thesis that by creating an atmosphere of safety, hope, love, and mutual respect, participants can learn how to view racism, how to address racism, and how to cure racism to cre- ate a healthy community for our families, children and neighbours. The OSIE conference in To ronto, in contrast to the Institute event which only had 20 participants over a two-day period, was a large- scale event with more than 500 participants over two days. The conference had four main plenary sessions, and at least eight break-out sessions every day. The focus of the OISE con- ference was to stimulate the provision of holistic, acces- sible and equitable health and services to marginal- ized and racialized commu- nities in the city of Toronto by building local and inter- national partnerships. I always enjoy and benefit from attending conferences, workshops and institutes. It is good to be up on what other organizations and communities are doing to promote diversity. The things that impressed me about the two events were: 1) The diversity of the people participating, and their wide age range. It was good to see a whole new generation of people getting involved in race relations and diversity work 2) The wide range of orga- nizations attending. People form non-profit organiza- tions, from industry, edu- cational institutions, mental health organizations, from hospitals, the business sec- tor, and from the media. 3) The variety of best practices shared. 4) The commitment to di- versity that was present. 5) The spirit present at both events. 6) Both events recharged my batteries. 7) Friendships made, old ones rekindled, and new professional contacts made. This time last year, I wrote an article for Multicultural Durham titled, ‘Diversity is our strength, access and equity, should be our goal.’ The article contained this analysis: “The celebratory aspects of multiculturalism will not eradicate the disease of racism in our commu- nities. What is needed is critical thinking, innova- tive programming activities, year-round a strong public policy position supported by all levels of government, a planned strategic ap- proach, appropriate human resources, and core funding to finance anti-racism edu- cation programs in schools and in the community. Well here we are one year later. What have we done, what are we doing, where are we going? In the last year there has been some effective race relations and diversity work achieved by different stakeholder orga- nizations. You know who you are! In my opinion, all stake- holder organizations need to be more strategic and program oriented in their approach to race relations, diversity, and anti-racist education work. 1They need to start partner- ing, and thinking with a re- gional focus. Important issues such as hate crime, religious intoler- ance and the plight of for- eign trained professionals, the mental health aspects of racism, and newly arrived immigrants and refugees to Durham Region, need to be discussed. Anyone remember the Jan. 26, 2002 Diversity Dur- ham Conference? That was over three-and-a-half years ago people! Anyone inter- ested in helping to stage a 2006 Diversity Summit for Durham Region?

Spending special times with family and friends is a priority these days and couples want to make sure they are prepared for family celebrations. Simple metal trimmed tableware designs are top choices because they off er a sophisticated, classic look that allows scope for creativity. W hile platinum banded patterns are still very popular, designs with warm burnished gold trim are enjoying a resurgence, notes Marion Proctor, Marketing Manager of Royal Doulton Canada Limited. Classic designs can always be updated by adding colourful accent plates and new accessories. Royal Doulton’s newest Fusion brand off ers simple designs with a sophisticated shape which can be accessorized with contemporary wooden bowls or trendy but traditional “toile de Jouy” fabrics. Don’t be afraid to experiment — this is NOT your granny’s china! W hile the cool contemporary simplicity of a “Minimalist” look is still very popular, a new look of “simple luxury” is emerging. Warmer shades of reds, oranges, and golds are being noted in home décor trends. Burnished metals such as copper and gold are highlighting accessories. Even the new neutrals have more warmth — sage green, sand and brown are big hits on fashion runways. Choosing tableware with an eye to the future means you will love it years from now as much as you did the day you chose it. Just remember not to leave it stored away for those once a year events — use it often and enjoy!

You’re college “sister” is getting married and she wanted you to be a bridesmaid. Q uick – are you fl abbergasted or fl attered? Let’s hope it’s the latter. Th ough it can be a daunting experience to serve such an important role, your friend must really consider you one of her best gals, right? So if you think of your duties as a BEST GAL rather than as a servant to the bride, things will go much more smoothly in carrying out your commitment. Here are some surefi re tips for being the best “best gal”. Be enthusiastic and supportive. As the bride plans her big day, she’ll need plenty of backup, both material and emotional, from those she has honoured with bridesmaid status. Don’t wait to be asked. Volunteer your assistance with some of the more tedious and time- consuming tasks, such as selecting a venue for the ceremony (especially if it is a logistically challenging destination wedding far from home), planning bridal showers and bachelorette parties, and if need be, even addressing invitations. Since many of today’s couples create wedding websites to inform invited guests of the details, you can help gather information to keep communications up to date. Expect the unexpected and “come to the rescue”. No matter how thorough the nuptial planning, there will always be glitches. Th at’s when a bride’s best gal can step up and show their true colours. Maybe the fresh peonies the bride wants aren’t in season, so…suggest a beautiful silk alternative fl ower. Has her future mother- in-law requested that non-alcoholic libations also be served at the wedding reception? Maybe you could recommend fresh and fun alcohol-free cocktails that are tasty, colourful and perhaps even evoke a romantic theme. Shop for bridesmaid’s dresses! Here’s where the real fun of being a best gal begins. Although the bride-to- be will have the last word on how the wedding part will look, she will of course want them to play a major role in selecting their dresses, and to be delighted with the choice as well. Th ankfully, dress options today are vast and fl exible for all personalities and body types. Doing some fashion research on the Internet can help you, as a best gal, with style preferences. Take time to share the memories. One of the most satisfying fringe benefi ts of being a best gal is sharing with your best-gal pals – the friendships, stories, important events involved in the wedding. A personal keepsake for the bride and the wedding party will be treasured for a lifetime. One perfect memento, for instance, might be a photo diary documenting everything from dress shopping and bridal showers to festive bachelorette parties and the rehearsal dinner. You can assemble the pictures in a lovely, small album or utilizing today’s digital technology, make or have a CD made of all the images to give out to the bridal party. Th en, with the latter you can host an informal “welcome back” party when the newlyweds return from their honeymoon and play a slide show of the images on your TV set. A get together of this kind will be much appreciated by the bride. It will likewise renew the wedding camaraderie, and allow the wedding party, along with other friends and family to reconnect with the new “Mr. and Mrs.” Brought to you by Bridal News Network Best Gals: Why being a bridesmaid is the best gig Fall Wedding Show ~ 8 Advertising Feature durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 11, 2005 PAGE 23 A/P The Mother of the Bride has wonderful choices...the guest of the wedding does too! 374 Old Kingston Rd., Scarborough (Highland Creek Village) 416-281-9966 Personal Service from people who love to dress you! • Sizes 8-20W (incl.

Most brides-and- bridegrooms-to-be have undoubtedly booked the best photographer their budget will allow to capture priceless memories from their wedding day. Many couples also realize that it is important to capture the special moments leading up to and following the big day––such as the engagement and bachelorette parties, showers, the rehearsal dinner and honeymoon. Although a professional photographer may not always be on hand for these happenings, newlyweds will probably want to make certain that after the honeymoon, they have a variety of photographs to fi ll their albums. Here are a few simple tips to help preserve the memories from this special time: 1) Capturing the Preparations. Some of the most entertaining moments occur months, weeks or even days before the actual wedding. Th erefore, many brides, relatives and friends fi nd it essential to bring a camera to capture the preparations, such as dress-shopping excursions and hair/ makeup sessions. Photos of such memorable occasions can be part of the formal wedding album, and also will help the bride compare wedding-gown options and select those she likes best. A bride’s stylist can then use these pictorial reminders to assist them in re-creating her desired look. 2) Power at the Ready! W ith the mainstream popularity of digital cameras, shutterbugs take a lot more photos than ever before, especially when it involves a special event like a wedding. As guests snap away during the ceremony and cocktail hour, many will end up with a dead battery before the fi rst dance. Th at’s why it is always a good idea, whether at the favor table or in the vanity baskets, to provide guests with plenty of disposable batteries to keep their cameras powered when there is no time to recharge. Th e most popular for today’s cameras are AA alkaline for digital cameras and photo lithium batteries for fi lm cameras. Because professional photo proofs often take several weeks to arrive, guests’ photos are typically the fi rst photos the bride and groom will actually see, so it is in their best interest to keep their guests ready to capture their best moments. 3) Instant Albums. Another growing trend among brides today is not only that of documenting their wedding experience from the engagement through the honeymoon, but also preserving those special moments in personalized scrapbooks or instant albums. An instant album is easily created by pre-decorating album pages, then bringing a portable photo printer to special occasions, such as the engagement party or bridal shower. Friends and relatives can snap digital photos, print them, and instantly affi x them to the album pages along with personal notes. With this option, no time is wasted–– each section of the photo album will be complete before the champagne runs dry! 4) “Say Cheese!” Th ere are many options when it comes to wedding photography. Should photos be sepia, color or black-and-white? Digital or 35-mm.? One simple solution is to arm several members of the wedding party with a variety of cameras, pre-loaded with diff erent types of fi lm, and ask them to shoot away. Not only will the new couple get more varied and candid images of the event, but they’ll also have a greater variety of styles for their album and for framing. Once the pictures are snapped, the cameras can be given to attendants as parting gifts––or used on the honeymoon. 5) Cyber Brides. Many brides and grooms are creating their own website to serve as both a pre-wedding information center (e.g., for RSVPs, directions, gift registry) and a cyber- album for uploading photographs complete with captions, to share with family and friends. Several sites also allow guests to download images for their own enjoyment. One of the most popular and modestly priced hosting sites is www. ewedding.com, which was rated by Th e Wall Street Journal as number one in wedding website design. With these simple suggestions, each memorable moment can be made to last a lifetime.

Well, all brides want to look their very best on their wedding day. Hours are spent choosing the perfect gown, hairstyle and makeup. Many brides also take this opportunity to get in shape. Like the rest of your preparations, it’s never a good idea to wait until the last minute to get started. However, in between planning the wedding and a never-ending workload, it can seem like an impossible mission. Th e following simple tips off er an easy way to get in shape for the big day. Drink like a fi sh. Drinking water is probably the single most important trick to weight loss. By making you feel fuller, it helps prevent food cravings even as it fl ushes out unhealthy toxins. Forget about drastic starvation diets or “magic” pills with stimulants. Many are not only ineff ective but also have unhealthy eff ects on your skin, hair and overall stress level. Don’t skip meals. Th is is one of the most popular stumbling blocks to weight loss. When you skip meals, your body assumes it’s starving and slows down your metabolism to conserve energy. It’s important to feed your body every three to four hours. Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes at least three times a week. Th is is a “golden oldie.” Exercise actually helps you manage wedding- and work-related stress while burning off extra calories. If you can’t get to the gym, then simply walk for 20 to 30 minutes. It doesn’t really matter what you do, as long as it’s active. Tr y herbal body wraps. Herbal body wraps are a safe and natural way to quickly shape and contour your body. Take vitamins regularly. A lack of essential vitamins and minerals can make losing weight more diffi cult. Watch your sugar intake. Sugar is a “high glycemic” substance, which means it causes your body to put out a higher amount of fat storage hormones (insulin), which are directly responsible for loss of skin tone and increased body fat. Skip the salt. A diet that is too rich in sodium causes your body to retain water, which can make you look “puff y”. Simple ways to get in shape for the big day Wedding traditions across the world Tossing the bouquet. Wearing something old, new, borrowed and blue. Th rowing birdseed or confetti. Th ese are just some of the traditions of a typical wedding in Canada. But what about the rest of the world? What kind of wedding traditions do other cultures practice? Here is just a sampling. • In Venezuela, the couple sneak away from their reception, without saying good-bye, for good luck. • In Chile, the couple exchange rings when they announce their engagement. Th ey wear their rings on their left hands until they are married, and then switch them to their right hands. • In Egypt, the groom’s family proposes to the bride. • In Morocco, the bride becomes mistress of her new home by walking around the outside of it three times. • In India, the bride must enter her in- laws’ home for the fi rst time on her right foot and knock down a container of uncooked rice to bring good luck to the house. • In Pakistan, the bride wears red, which symbolizes happiness. • In China, a hair stylist arrives at the homes of both the bride and the groom the night before their wedding to comb their hair for good luck and prosperity. • In Taiwan, the couple exchange rings at the engagement party. • In the Ukraine, the couple share wedding bread with motifs symbolizing eternity and the unity of their families. • In Poland, the bride’s mother gives the bride and groom each a shot glass. One is fi lled with colorless vodka and the other with water. Whoever receives the vodka is predicted to be the breadwinner. • In Italy, the groom’s tie is cut into many pieces, and the pieces are then sold to guests to collect spending money for the couple on their honeymoon. • In Scotland, everyone gathers around the bride’s feet the night before the wedding and washes them to make sure she and her husband trot off on a fresh path together. • In Sweden, women wear three wedding rings, one for engagement, one for marriage and one for motherhood. • In Finland, all of the single women gather around the bride. Th e maid of honour then places a crown upon the bride’s head, blindfolds her and spins her around. Whoever is in front of the bride when she stops receives the crown and is the next to marry. Th ese are just some of the many wedding traditions that take place around the world. For a more complete list, conduct a search online or go to the library. You never know-you may fi nd custom you would like to adopt for your wedding.

From what Durham police major fraud investigators have pieced to- gether, the criminals are scanning trade and construction publica- tions for names of suppliers large companies have contracts with. Fa ke invoices are drawn up, saying the suppliers have changed loca- tions or banks, and bills are to be sent to a new account. “These bad guys are mining in- formation from public sources,” said Detective Jack Haze. “A lot of it is even semi-confidential, but people are not always as good with shredding.” Det. Haze is not 100 per cent convinced there is not an inside connection, but “it’s obvious that somebody knows the supplier end of the contract will soon be paid money.” Because of the large dollar amounts, the brazen criminals are not afraid to target very large com- panies who handle big accounts and have large accounts payable departments. And these aren’t cases that only happen in big cities such as Toronto, either, Det. Haze warned. Both instances occurred in Whitby. The fraud detectives want to make sure big business is extra careful. “There are a lot of big industries that could be losing a lot of money in this payable scam,” Det. Haze said. “It’s almost impossible to get warnings out on an individual basis.” But large corporations are not the only targets of fraud, which Det. Haze calls “the crime of the millen- nium.” A woman who runs a small, part-time travel agency business in Pickering -- specializing in trips to Asia -- is out $70,000 through an increasingly popular scam: the overpayment. A man called her, wanting to book several trips to Japan. He ends up sending her a cheque for $83,000. “She feels this is unusual, but he said the trip was first class with lots of people,” Det. Haze said. “She took the cheque to the bank, and they said it looks good.” The man calls again, claiming he accidentally overpaid the woman, and asks that she wire $70,000 to Japan. Believing his story, and the bank’s reassurances, she sends the money. While this is happening, the cheque goes out of province to be cleared, and officials discover it’s a fake. “By then, the money -- and the man -- is long gone,” Det. Haze said. “She now may be liable for that money.” While fraud often takes a back seat to more high profile crime in Durham, it’s a fast-growing indus- try, especially with computers, he added. “Two or three times a week we hear of Joe Public being burned,” he said. “Fraud has a very human element to it.” For tips on how to protect your- self, visit the Durham Regional Po- lice web site at www.drps.ca and look under public safety.

It’s official: Ajax juniors on the Attack Team gets new nickname following website contest; Gilmour to drop ceremonial first puck at home opener By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — The Ajax junior ‘A’ hockey team is set to Attack the new hockey season. That’s the new nickname of the Ajax junior squad, replacing the ‘A xemen’ t hat’s been part of the team’s lore since the mid-80s. The name Attack was chosen fol- lowing a contest launched on the Ajax junior ‘A’s website several weeks ago. New team owner Robert Stein notes the name Attack was the top submission in the contest that boasted about 500 potential team names. There were 11 At- tack submissions posted on the site. And, Stein says he was happy with the response. “Without any advertising sur- rounding it and putting it directly on the website, I was amazed. I was amazed at the (number of) people looking at the website,” he says. But, he admits it brings up a dilemma for him regarding the prize for the winner -- an hour of ice time with an NHL player. He’s leaning toward declaring the winner as the first one who posted the name Attack. But, he hasn’t dismissed allowing all 11 who posted the name to be de- clared winners, too. “It’s a tough one,” he says. Stein says there were three rea- sons he chose the name Attack: It did have some connection to Ajax, insofar as the town was home to Defence Industries Ltd., a munitions factory, during the Second World War. It was the most popular name in the con- test and “it just sounds great; it flows well.” Once the name was estab- lished, Stein says he was quick off the mark to order the home and away jerseys for the Ajax At- tack -- the away sweaters being predominantly black, using the style of vintage Philadelphia Fly- ers jerseys. The home sweaters w ill be predominantly white, again using the Flyers stylings. Stein says he’s considering adding a third set of jerseys, which will be predominantly Philly Flyers orange. “We’ll add a third jersey at some point.” So far, Stein says he’s happy with the progress of his team. He admits purchasing the team so late in the summer has meant the team is behind the eight ball in terms of attracting quality play- ers and, as such, he believes the team will struggle in the short term. “I know we’ll struggle early be- cause I bought the team late and we had no opportunity to play exhibition games. But, overall, I like the team spirit. I think the kids feel they have a good oppor- tunity to play some real hockey.” Stein is promising to make a splash at the Ajax Attack’s home opener at the Ajax Community Centre on Sunday, Sept. 18 at 3 p.m. In addition to Ajax Mayor Steve Parish dropping the puck to officially open the new season, the Attack will welcome special guest and former Toronto Maple Leaf captain Doug Gilmour. As well as free admission for the home opener against the Markham Waxers, the Attack will have a number of draws for signed Gilmour and Curtis Jo- seph items during the game. “A ll we want is for the people of Ajax to come back and enjoy the hockey,” says Stein. Stein says he hopes to have a series of draws at each home game for everything from DVD players to signed NHL memora- bilia. Robert Stein Lig htning women train in Vermont Olympian Karen Hughes takes helm during intermediates’ camp, tournament DURHAM — Having a training camp in Vermont may seem a bit unusual, but for the Durham West Lightning intermediate ‘AA’ women’s hockey team it was a unique and exciting experience. Under the direction of Karen Hu ghes, a two-time world cham- pion and reportedly the only woman to have coached a wom- en’s team to an Olympic gold medal, the Lightning flourished. Currently, Hughes is a coach with the University of Toronto Varsity Blues women’s hockey program. Lightning head coach Ken Mulgrew said the team was for- tunate to have the opportunity to work with her. “It was tremendous to be able to work with Hughes. The girls were able to learn so much and she really inspired them.” Besides drills and practices at the University of Vermont’s Gut- terson Field House, the Light- ning also participated in the prestigious NAHA Labour Day To urnament, generating interest from the more than 50 univer- sity coaches and scouts in atten- dance. Competing against two all-star teams from the U.S. and other top Canadian and American club teams, the Lightning intermedi- ates held their own, with sea- soned players Cristen Allen, Ali Williams, Jenn Wakefield and Kirsten Roach leading the way. Up next, a number of Light- ning players have been invited to the Ontario under-18 team try- outs being held this weekend in Toronto. The Lightning intermedi- ates’ season opener is against the Whitby Wolves, newcomers to the intermediate ‘AA’ scene, at Whitby’s Iroquois Park Sports Centre on Thursday, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. Bulldogs, Chameleons set to take the floor DURHAM — Durham City Bas- ketball tips off the season with a series of tryouts for its Bulldogs and Chameleons rep teams.

Durham City hoops rep tryouts soon With no exhibition games, Vaughan event serves as team’s pre-season By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — The newest in- carnation of junior hockey in Ajax began with a resounding thud. The Ajax juniors, hence- forth known as the Ajax At- tack, suffered a humbling 11- 0 loss to the Oakville Blades in their opening game of the OHA Junior ‘A’ Tournament in Vaughan on Thursday night. To urnament action con- tinued on Friday and Satur- day, when Ajax played the Capital District (CD) Selects of New York State and the Collingwood Blues, in pool ‘A’ action at the Vaughan Sports Village. Results were unavail- able at press time. With Ajax dressing 14 rookies to play a veteran Oakville squad that lost all of seven games a season ago, the lopsided result was more than a little predictable. In essence, the Attack is using the Vaughan tournament for pre-season player evaluation, and will rotate 27 players in and out of the lineup in the three tournament games, says Ajax Attack head coach Carey Durant. “I don’t expect to win a game,” says Durant, who’s more concerned with using the event as an opportunity to gauge his players. “I want to watch how the kids react. Are they going to be spine- less or are they going to step up? It’s a learning curve and there’s going to be growing pains. We have to find our identity as a team.” Growing pains will cer- tainly be experienced by the Attack in the short-term, if not longer. A late start to the recruiting process, brought about by the late summer sale of the team to Toronto businessman Robert Stein, wouldn’t allow for any sem- blance of a pre- season campaign. With only a smat- tering of veterans returning after a disastrous two- win season a year ago, the Ajax At- tack was forced to enter training camp with a rook- ie-laden roster. As such, inex- perience and rookie mistakes were front-and-centre in the loss to Oakville, says Durant. “The kids are young and they’re going to make mis- takes. All I can do is keep practising and making things better,” he says. “I’m not worried at all. We showed a lot of good things. Our defensive zone coverage was not all that bad.” Durant says there were several solid individual per- formances, singling out de- fenceman Keegan McFarlane and 16-year-old forward Kyle Ramsey for particular praise. He also says the work of goaltenders Nunzio Presta and Domenic De- Francesco was noteworthy, keep- ing the score at 3-0 after the opening 20 minutes. Despite the loss, Durant is confident in his team and for the future. “We’re going to be OK. Things will get better. We have to keep working as hard as we can and get better every game. I have full confidence in our players,” he said. The Ajax Attack begins its OHA Ontario Provincial Ju- nior ‘A’ Hockey League regu- lar-season campaign against the Waxers in Markham on Friday evening. The Attack’s home opener is against the Waxers at the Ajax Commu- nity Centre’s pad 1 on Sun- day, Sept. 18 at 3 p.m. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 11, 2005 PAGE 31 A/P Carriers of The Week If you did not receive your News Advertiser/flyers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at (905) 683-5117.

It’s a Mobile Showroom which just may be the only one in Canada. “The day is gone when you car- ried some brochures and a sample window to a customer’s home,” ex- plains Wayne. “So I obtained a retired North York Mobile Library truck and installed interior walls along with all of my window samples.” When you call Durham Windows and Doors for a free estimate, Wayne will show up at your door with his Mo- bile Showroom which you’ll enter by way of a sliding patio door. Inside, displayed on the walls, are the Vinyl Window Designs series of vinyl windows which you’re free to operate and you’ll discover the many special features including how they can be cleaned without going outside. “After being in this business for 25 years, I can honestly say these are the fi nest windows on the market,” says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware.” All Vinyl Window Designs win- dows come with Low E Glass which fi lters out the ultraviolet rays keep- ing your home cooler in the summer and eliminate fading of your curtains, drapes and furniture. All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty on the frame, hard- ware and glass. Wa yne would also like his cus- tomers to know that he does all of the estimates personally, eliminating the cost of a salesperson. Durham Windows and Doors also does all of its own installations, which ensures that every customer gets a high quality job done at the best possible price. Durham Windows and Doors is located at 696 King St. W. in Oshawa. For more information call (905) 579- 2222 or 1-888-576-8575. Mobile Showroom Want to know what’s happening in Pickering? BE INFORMED!
