The Pickering 56 PAGES ✦ Metroland Durham Region Media Group ✦ WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2006 ✦ Optional delivery $6 / Newsstand $1 At long last, Pickering taxicab bylaw passes By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — In the heart of the Dur- ham’s Greenbelt, a local coalition is determined to make an election issue out of smart growth. The home of Bruce Flattery on Al- tona Road, near Cherrywood, was the backdrop for a press conference last week where the Sierra Club of Canada, the Rouge Duffins Greenspace Coali- tion, the Ontario Greenbelt Alliance and the Ontario Smart Growth Net- work delivered an analysis of Durham Region’s amendment to the Regional Official Plan. The council accepted the plan Wednesday, but omitted a controversial attachment of contested parcels of Greenbelt land until more public consultation can occur after the upcoming election. “This is a small victory in that they have decided to postpone the plan until after the municipal election, but we also want to stress that we need to have a public review of the plan and accountability of the politicians before the municipal election,” said Chris Winter, from the Ontario Smart Growth Network. “So we are going to look very hard at setting up our own public review, if Durham won’t do it, in October so the residents have a chance to react and respond and have considered opinion when it comes time to vote in the mu- nicipal elections.” By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — After more than a year and a half of discussion, the City of Pickering now has a new, compre- hensive taxicab bylaw. The bylaw, compiled by the Taxi- cab Advisory Committee, was passed at the Sept. 18 council meeting. While there remain concerns in the industry about the bylaw, Ward 1 Re- gional Councillor Maurice Brenner, chairman of the Taxicab Advisory Committee, said it is flexible enough to address the questions and con- cerns of the dozens of people who spoke at a public meeting in July and who have sent e-mails or letters to the City. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson introduced a deferral mo- tion to have council vote on the bylaw in two weeks, but it didn’t receive any support from any other councillors. He was concerned, given the lack of people in the gallery, that there hadn’t been enough notice about the bylaw being passed. He referred to a letter from Michael Webster, a law- yer representing two Pickering taxi companies, that mentioned three primary concerns. Mr. Webster said his clients were concerned that the drivers make a decent wage; if the drivers are not making a sufficient wage, customer service suffers as drivers are impa- tient and frustrated with their fares; and with improving the overall de- mand for services. Other councillors felt by having a taxicab advisory committee that met extensively and was open to mem- bers of the industry who were not on the committee that the bylaw was comprehensive. “Coun. Brenner and the commit- tee have done a wonderful job of addressing the three concerns,” Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean said. Mayor Dave Ryan agreed. “This has been a very lengthy and inclusive process,” he said. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Jennifer Roberts/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Eight-year-old Kianna Hydal pins a button on Sasha Melnyk, 5, after they completed the Terry Fox Run on Sunday morning. The run began at 9:30 a.m. at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Terry Fox Run organizers estimated that they would raise $20,000 by the end of the run this year. Pickering woman in annual air rally By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — Some of them flew planes in the Second World War. Some sit behind the controls of commercial planes. Some just fly because it’s fun. The two things they have in common? All are women and all are members of the Ninety Nines, an international sister- hood of female pilots, with more than 6,000 members. “It’s very diverse and a lot of fun,” says Laureen Nelson, a Pickering resident and Ninety Nines member since 1990. “We’re always organizing something or doing something. It’s a great group to be part of.” Ms. Nelson says she always dreamed of flying, but didn’t have time as a uni- versity student or in her early career years. She finally took the plunge at 35 and has been soaring ever since, recently purchasing her own Cessna Cutless RG. Hers is just one of thousands of Ninety Nines stories. The group was formed in Long Island, N.Y. in 1929, when all 117 female pilots in the United States at the time, were invited to meet for mutual support and the advancement of aviation. Two years later, the group was named for its 99 charter members and elected Amelia Earhart as its first president. To day, the Ninety Nines are commit- ted to preserving the history of women in aviation and teaching women about career opportunities in flight. Chapters also hold charity fundraisers and social events, like the Gold Cup Air Rally that took off from the Oshawa Municipal Airport recently. The 6th annual event is organized by the First Canadian Chapter of thew Ninety Nines, which encompasses much of the GTA. The rally sees teams take off at the same time, then fly to designated spots answering trivia questions along the route, before landing at a final destina- tion. The winning team is awarded the coveted gold cup at a banquet dinner. This year, the fun started at Osha- Local man charged in case where woman fought off attacker near City Hall PICKERING — A man has been charged in connection with a violent sexual assault earlier this month in Pickering. The arrest follows the release this past weekend of security tape im- ages of a man identified as a person of interest in the investigation. The probe was launched after a woman said she’d been assaulted in the area of Glenanna and Valley Fa rm roads around 11 p.m. Sept. 9. The woman told police she was at- tacked by a man who knocked her to the ground and tried to remove her clothes. The woman fought back, kicking, biting and punching at the assail- ant. The attacker fled as people ap- proached, police said. The incident prompted police to issue a warning to the public, and created concern in fear in Pickering as well as Ajax. Police have charged Joshua Thom- as, 24, of Glenanna Road with aggra- vated sexual assault. He was scheduled to appear for a bail hearing Tuesday.

The provincial government is investing $50 million to fund 127,200 additional procedures to improve access to cataract surgery, hip replacements, knee replacements, MRI exams and CT scans. Rouge Valley will see $93,500 to fund 100 more cataract surger- ies and 74 CT scans. The Central East Local Health Integration Network, which stretches from Scarborough to Northumberland and north to Hali- burton, is getting a total of $4.76 million. Since 2004, the government has funded 657,000 additional medical procedures province-wide as part of its Wait Times Strategy. To support patients and health care professionals, the government is also providing $58 million for additional services and programs. This includes support- ing more rehabilitation programs, improving Ontario’s Wait Times In- formation System and helping local communities to further reduce wait times.

The preferred strategy is based on a diverse approach, consisting of water use efficiency and sewage reduction measures, expansion of the liquid treatment capacity of the Duffin Creek WPCP and expansion of the biosolids management facilities and upgrading of the septage management facilities on the WPCP site. The liquid treatment capacity will be expanded from 420,000 cubic metres/day to 630,000 cubic metres/day using the step feed activated sludge process technology. Expansion facilities include a new headworks building, additional primary and secondary treatment modules, a new disinfection facility, upgraded sludge digesters, two new fluidized bed incinerators and a new septage receiving facility. The entire expansion will be accommodated on the existing Duffin Creek WPCP site and is scheduled to be completed by 2010. Various technical studies have been completed to identify mitigation measures required to control impacts and protect the environment, including a receiving water impact assessment, on-site natural features environmental impact study, geotechnical review, odour control study and air and noise emissions reports. Located in the City of Pickering, the Duffin Creek WPCP treats the wastewater flows collected by the York-Durham Sewage System (YDSS), which provides sanitary sewer service to portions of York Region (Newmarket, Richmond Hill, Aurora, Markham & Vaughan) and Durham Region (Ajax & Pickering). Population and employment growth forecasted for the existing and future service areas of the YDSS will ultimately generate sanitary sewage flows beyond the existing capacity of the Duffin Creek WPCP. This study proceeded under Schedule C as described in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (June 2000) document. The Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) is a five-phase process that includes an extensive evaluation of the impacts of proposed projects on the technical, natural, social/cultural, and economic components of the environment. This Notice places the Environmental Study Report on the public record for review, which is consistent with the fourth phase of the Class EA process. The fifth phase will involve the implementation of the recommendations. The Environmental Study Report, including supporting studies is available for viewing from Friday, September 22, 2006 to Monday, October 23, 2006 at: Durham Region Headquarters York Region Headquarters Clerk’s Department Clerk’s Department 605 Rossland Road East 17250 Yonge Street Whitby, ON L1N 6A3 Newmarket ON L3Y 6Z1 The Environmental Study Report and supporting studies will also be available at main libraries in Ajax, Pickering, Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Aurora and Newmarket, as well as on the project web site www.region.durham.on.ca/duffincreek.

Brenner to give an overview of how the com- mittee worked and came up with the bylaw. He said the meetings were open to those who were not appointed to the committee and they were allowed to participate, not just sit and listen. “Everyone had an opportunity in that room (to participate),” he said. Mayor Ryan added that the com- mittee unanimously endorsed the bylaw. The new bylaw covers fees, driver rights and responsibilities, and pas- senger rights and responsibilities, as well as a range of other areas such as the requirement for drivers to com- plete a training and testing program, maintenance and vehicle condition guidelines, a driver dress code, and the requirement to have 10 per cent of Pickering’s fleet be clean air cabs. It takes effect Jan. 1. Despite the omission of the attach- ment, which identified areas regional council wants taken out of the Green- belt, the groups said they take issue with the direction in which regional council is headed. A direction, they said, that leads straight to urban sprawl. “We don’t need any more subdivi- sions,” said Janet Pelley of the Sierra Club of Canada. “The council has been told many times that they already have enough land in their current urban envelope for the next 30 years.” “We aught to be encouraging farm- ing in this area instead of encouraging subdivisions,” she said. At the heart of the push to have lands removed from the Greenbelt, and also the large designation of Future Em- ployment Lands in the ROP, are dol- lars that fund political campaigns, Ajax Mayor Steve Parish said. “There can be no true reform, and there can be no true sustainable and smart planning until that relationship is severed.” Mayor Parish said in the last munici- pal campaign he raised around $15,000 entirely from ordinary citizens and he has never accepted money from devel- opers. He urged people to ask candidates in their area if they take developer dol- lars for campaigning, and where they stand on the greenbelt and sustainable growth. “We have an opportunity to go down the right road and develop this com- munity right, or we are going to go down the wrong road,” Mayor Parish said. “We started down that road yes- terday, a road to more sprawl, more cookie cutter development that will not sustain transit, that will not sustain livable communities.” wa’s airport, bright and early one Friday morning.

Jurors at Woodcock murder trial get primer on DNA Earlier testing excluded accused By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — Jurors at the murder trial of Ronald Woodcock are being instructed in the intricacies of DNA identification as they weigh evidence ten- dered by the prosecution. While tests conducted more than a decade ago concluded hair fragments found in a murder vic- tim’s car did not come from Mr. Woodcock, updated procedures show he may be among three per cent of the Caucasian population with DNA identifiers found on the hair samples, jurors have been told. Superior Court Justice Edwin Minden cautioned jurors about the value they place on the evidence now being put forth by the Crown. The new evidence was obtained by testing for mitochondrial DNA, rather than the traditional -- and more definitive -- nuclear DNA testing usu- ally associated with crime investigations, the judge said. “Mitochondrial DNA cannot be used to conclu- sively identify an individual,” Justice Minden told jurors. “You cannot conclude from mitochondrial DNA that there is a match -- only that one cannot be ex- cluded.” Justice Minden urged jurors to keep in mind “the limitations of mitochondrial DNA” when they begin their deliberations. The DNA evidence is part of a voluminous and complex case the Crown is presenting against Mr. Woodcock, who faces two charges of first-degree murder, four counts of attempted murder and sev- eral other charges in connection with a bloody robbery at an Oshawa sporting goods store on Sept. 14, 1994. Gunfire erupted when two masked men stormed the Gagnon Sports shop on Simcoe Street South, smashing a display case and grabbing sev- eral handguns. Store owner Roger Pardy died during the rob- bery, which occurred in just a couple of minutes; three other men in the shop were wounded. Earlier in the day Ken Thomas of Pickering was abducted and murdered execution style with gun- shots to the head. His car was used as a getaway vehicle by the robbers. This trial, the second for Mr. Woodcock on the charges, began in Whitby Sept. 5. It’s expected to last eight weeks. C itizen’s committee will be formed to recommend honorarium amounts By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — A Pickering trustee is not happy with how a committee will be chosen to review and recommend salaries for Durham Catholic District School Board members. In accordance with Regulation 357/06, which deals with trustee salary increases, a citizen’s advisory committee will be set up consisting of three parent and three community representa- tives from Catholic school councils. Members will be chosen randomly from the applications received. “If we just start picking people at random, that’s ludicrous,” said Pickering Trustee Paul Bannister. He said the committee should be made up of people who know about business and setting salaries. Whitby Trustee Mary Ann Martin, chairwom- an of the Durham Catholic District School Board, said the people will not be chosen randomly because they will be chosen as school council members. “I’m somewhat offended by your remark that we’re just randomly picking people off the street,” said Trustee Martin. “They come with a lot of wisdom and sometimes a lot more wisdom than people sitting around at meetings.” When Trustee Bannister again disputed the selection process, Trustee Martin said she was removing herself from her position as chair- woman to address him as a trustee. “I don’t think you’ve attended a regional (school) council meeting... I think you’re talking out of your hat,” said Trustee Martin. She added there are people out there who put a lot more into meetings than he does. All but Trustee Bannister and Oshawa Trustee Fred Jones voted to create the committee and have staff establish a process for the committee to make recommendations in a timely manner. Under the regulation, Catholic trustees could get a maximum base salary of $5,900 and anoth- er $5,378.19 per member under the enrolment formula, compared to the $5,000 they currently receive. Chairpersons and vice-chairpersons often earn more. Although the citizen’s committee will be rec- ommending the honorarium increase, trustees can still adjust their salary to the maximum al- lowed by the legislation’s formula. The committee’s recommendation is required by Sept. 25. The board has to establish a salary policy by Oct. 31, as well as retroactive hono- rarium from Sept. 1, 2005 to Nov. 30, 2006. Ret- roactive salary for trustees could be as high as $7,832.50. If the school board does not receive enough applications from school council parent and community representatives, the director of edu- cation or designate will invite eligible people to participate on the citizen’s advisory committee. www.dce.ca Durham Continuing Education 120 Centre St. S., Oshawa WE LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 6:30 – 8 PM LEARN A SKILL OR TAKE UP A NEW HOBBY OUR COURSE SELECTION INCLUDES SEVERAL TOPICS IN THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: • BUSINESS AND PERSONAL • COMPUTER • COOKING • CRAFTS • HOBBIES • DANCE • MUSIC • HEALTH • FITNESS • LANGUAGES • LEISURE • ART AND MORE ALL COURSE DETAILS INCLUDING DATES, TIMES, LOCATION AND COST WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE SESSION TO PREVIEW FULL COURSE DETAILS AND DESCRIPTIONS GO TO OUR WEBSITE REGISTER IN PERSON GENERAL INTEREST OVER 200 COURSES TO CHOOSE FROM COME WITH A FRIEND OR COME AND MEET NEW ONES Applica Consumer Products Inc. is voluntarily recalling the Black & Decker Deep Fryer (Canadian Tire product number 43-1701) due to a potential safety concern.

Ajax planner Kim Darroch told the committee con- struction work should start next summer and take 36 to 48 months to complete. “We feel the project will ensure the community has access to better health care,” Ms. Darroch said. “The building permit applications are in and being reviewed by building staff,” she said. Ms. Darroch added the permits could be issued within the next four to six weeks. The work includes an expanded emergency room and a new complex continuing care unit. DURHAM — The Durham Region Transit (DRT) commission will consid- er a six-month special access fare pilot project. A report from DRT staff recommend- ed a reduced fare monthly transit pass. The pass would cost $44, 50 per cent cheaper than an adult monthly pass, and would be available to Ontario Disability Support Program recipients. A group from Oshawa-Clarington Community Living at a commission meeting emphasized the need for a spe- cial fare for residents living with intellec- tual disabilities and on fixed incomes.

PAGE A6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ SEPTEMBER 20, 2006P Neil helps out a little too much I had no idea I was a rav- ing control freak until my children began asking me for help with their school as- signments. I have a difficult time, ap- parently, simply giving advice or steering their little minds toward the right resources. Stemming from God knows what personal dysfunctional- ity, I have a desperate need to run the show. Perhaps it’s my vocation. As an actor and a writer I have a great deal of autono- my in how I deal with things. Creative choices, especially, are almost always made by me and me alone. And so I sometimes have an issue or two regarding “sharing” the canvas. It is not enough, for in- stance, to suggest that my son do a colourful title page for his “Frogs” assignment. No. I must comb the Internet, download pages of data and photographs. I join an Am- phibian Chat room as “Vic” -- blond, fit, into NASCAR, Metallica and Wetlands con- servation. I meet and blatant- ly flirt with Doris, a Leopard Frog enthusiast who digs guys in hip-waders. I unashamedly lead her on, shyly and pain- fully recounting the tale of my divorce from a shrew with issues regarding my many pairs of hip-waders in the bedroom. Smitten, the unwit- ting Doris happily sends me frog pictures from her private collection. Bingo, I’m in. The other kids won’t have anything like this, I chuckle, finishing the download and blowing the hapless Doris off with a click of the mouse. Cruel, unfeeling? Yes, I know, but we’re talking about my project here. Well, OK, my son’s project, but still, if something’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right. Right? At this point, while shocked and perhaps a little embar- rassed by the previous dis- play, my son is nonetheless happy to have the assignment completed. He is about to head off for some idle recre- ation with a pal, when I point out to him that we may not be the only ones in class handing in an assignment with glossy photos. Anybody can get pictures. We need audio. For a few mad seconds I actually consider chucking the whole paper parcel and going Power Point. I picture the teacher, no, the entire staff, beaming from the back of the class as slide after fantastic slide glimmers its way onto the screen, accom- panied by the ideal musical score. Handel’s “Water music” perhaps, or maybe Ravel’s “Bolero” as a sexy counter- point to pond scum. But... I am overdoing it. Getting carried away. I laugh and my son laughs too, if not a little too loudly, and is once again about to head out the door when I col- lar him. “Costumes!” I blurt. I’ll bet none of the other kids will be delivering their presentations dressed as frogs. Once again I am at the computer, clicking and drag- ging my way through whole- sale green felt distributors. I Google Jim Henson. I am searching for tape measure, chalk and pinking shears when I hear a noise from be- hind me. It is a noise I have heard before, one that I am familiar with and not a lit- tle afraid of. It is my wife. I turn around and she is there, one hand on hip, the other wrapped protectively around our son. The two of them shake their heads and trot into the kitch- en to eat cookies and happily re-do the assignment. I trudge to bed, haunted by their laughter. The next morning there are 50 e-mails from someone named “Doris.” Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

There hasn’t been a woman on Pickering council for nine years, and it is time for a change. I am the chair of a national volunteer group for electing more women, called Equal Voice. We believe we need more women speaking for us because women share a differ- ent life experience from that of men. Polling shows women generally favour stronger so- cial programs and stronger protection of the environ- ment. Four women are running for seats in Pickering: Bonnie Littley for regional councillor in Ward 1; Ilene Higdon for city councillor in Ward 2; Lisa Depass for city Ward 3 and Jennifer O’Connell for city Ward 1. This is the time to consider changing the face of Pickering council. Rosemary Speirs Pickering Student not impressed with Durham Region Transit fare hike, service To the editor: Re: ‘Student bus fare rises’, Sept. 3 News Advertiser. Having read last Friday’s article I must say that I am confused. I understand that fare har- monization was an integral part of the recent amalgama- tion that created Durham Re- gion Transit. But, if student fare in Os- hawa was $2 and student fare in Ajax-Pickering was $1.85, then why is it now $2.25 every- where? As the fateful Sept. 5 drew closer, I was left wondering what I was to expect to receive for my additional 50 cents (re- turn trip cost) per school day. Will I be able to take the latest possible bus to get to school in time for this year’s new, earlier start time? Or will I continue to have to take the earlier bus to compensate for the consistent tardiness of the buses and poor scheduling of the whole system? And what of the bus drivers’ attitudes? Will our extra quarters buy us students the same respect as the adults with whom we share almost the same fare? Or will the drivers continue to drive past us at the bus stop and send us on wild goose chases for misplaced transfers in icy January winds? As a high school student who works hard for her money, I am eager to see what new changes my extra 50 cents a day will bring to our Durham Region Transit system, which is in dire need of improve- ments.

Total Votes: 162 No: 66.7% Yes: 33.3% Exciting times at GM Canada Oshawa’s building the new Camaro, might be getting the hydrogen SUV T he good news just keeps on rolling down at the General Mo- tors autoplex in Oshawa. Hot on the heels of a move that revamps a past favourite, the Chevrolet Camaro, comes word in a published report that GM Canada has been chosen to build a brand new hydrogen fuel-cell Equinox SUV at the Regional Engineering Centre in Oshawa. While both the Camaro and Equinox are part of GM’s future, they offer an extremely intriguing and different look at how the auto giant is attempting to come to grips with market tastes. The Camaro is of course a muscle car, a rear-wheel drive at- tempt at capturing the boomer market which prized their 1960s and 1970s Camaros but now want a sleek new model. It comes out in 2009 and will be built at GM’s new flex plant in Oshawa. It secures thousands of jobs for the future and the flex plant al- lows GM to build other models as market demands and tastes change. And they could well change to the Equinox SUV or models like it. That’s because concerns about climate change and global warming will make it inevitable that auto emissions standards will markedly toughen in the coming years. And the best thing about those 100 Equinox models that will come out of Oshawa next year? They produce no local emissions; in fact the only by- product of any kind they produce is a bit of water vapour. They offer all the necessary ingredients consumers are looking for in a vehicle: the handling, size and comfort of an SUV with no greenhouse gas producing emissions that are harmful to the environment. In addition, as we begin to run out of the world’s supply of oil and as we search for other ways to operate machinery, fuel-cell technology will become vastly more important. That’s why it is so exciting that Durham Region is a central part of GM’s future plans to build vehicles that will be in high demand and valued around the globe. General Motors must be a leader in this technology to help secure automobile production for the long-term future. And with Oshawa’s record as a place where quality and produc- tivity as well as low-cost production is vaunted, there is no reason Durham can’t be an automotive king for decades to come. 905.420.2222 cityofpickering.com 24 Hour Access 905.420.4660 City of Pickering Holiday Operating Hours CIVIC COMPLEX/CITY HALL 905.420.2222 Monday, October 9 – Closed RECREATION COMPLEX & POOL 905.683.6582 Monday, October 9 – Closed DUNBARTON POOL 905.831.1260 Sunday, October 8 – Closed Monday, October 9 – Closed PICKERING MUSEUM VILLAGE 905.683.8401 Monday, October 9 – Closed PICKERING PUBLIC LIBRARIES 905.831.6265 Sunday, October 8 – Closed Monday, October 9 – Closed DURHAM REGION TRANSIT 905.683.4111 AUTHORITY WEST Saturday, October 7 – Regular Saturday Service Sunday, October 8 – Regular Sunday Service Monday, October 9 – Modified Sunday Dial Service (9:00 am to 6:00 pm, service concludes at 6:30 pm).

PA GE A8 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ September 20, 2006P Faint hope clause, bail revisions among targets DURHAM — “Fed up” Cana- dians expect laws to protect the innocent and punish criminals, federal Justice Minister Vic To ews said during a recent visit to Oshawa. The minister outlined a sweeping slate of legisla- tive changes that he said will bolster community safety by keeping accused gunmen be- hind bars and ensuring those who’ve been convicted of se- rious crimes remain incarcer- ated until their sentences have been served. “Canadians are fed up with the soft approach to crime that has been going on for so long,” Mr. Toews said during a lun- cheon speech to members of Oshawa’s Chamber of Com- merce. “So I’m saying our respon- sibility as a government is to change the law.” Top priorities include refus- ing bail for people accused of violent crimes, eliminating conditional sentences for vio- lent offenders and revoking a law that allows convicted kill- ers to apply for parole before their full sentences have been served, Mr. Toews said. After his speech Mr. Toews promised to move quickly on his promises, telling reporters bail revisions and repealing of the so-called faint hope clause for lifers will be addressed dur- ing the minority Conservative government’s current man- date. The faint-hope clause has taken prominence in Durham recently. In July, Michael Yare- ma, convicted in 1990 of the first-degree murder of Oshawa man Terry Spindler, was suc- cessful is his application under the clause. A jury ruled Mr. Yarema, 38, can apply for parole next year after serving 17 years in prison; he was originally sentenced to life with no chance of parole for 25 years. The decision angered mem- bers of Mr. Spindler’s family, who have vowed to fight for the elimination of the faint hope clause. They have an ally in the jus- tice minister. “There should be no back- door escape route where some- one can get less than he or she was sentenced to,” Mr. Toews said. “We are committed to re- pealing the faint hope clause,” he said. “We feel it’s an important step to restore people’s faith in the criminal justice system.” During his visit to Durham Mr. Toews participated in round-table discussions with business leaders, listening to their concerns regarding crime and justice issues. Jason Liebregts/ Metroland Durham Region Media Group SHE HAS CORN ON HER MIND AJAX — Adrienne Arvidson stops into Stroud Farms on Hwy 2 to pick up some vegetables. Corn is in full season across Durham. To e ws promises crackdown on criminals AJAX — Despite issuing close to $2 billion in building permits since 2000, the ratio of residential to non-residen- tial assessment continued to worsen in Ajax. Economic development manager Luisa Da Rocha told councillors on Monday the ratio is now 89 per cent resi- dential to 11 per cent non- residential. “We have the worst assess- ment ratio in Durham, at 89- 11. It’s not ideal and getting worse,” she said. The percentages are for 2005, Ms. Da Rocha added, noting in 2004, the non-resi- dential was at 12. To the end of July, the Town has issued more than $1.8 bil- lion in building permits since 2000, Ms. Da Rocha said. “That number will hit $2 billion by the end of the year,” she added. “Leading the growth is resi- dential, particularly in the north end.” Ajax continues economic expansion Just one more way to get your news thanks to your friends at the Metroland Durham Region Media Group durhamregion.com SPOTLIGHT on BUSINESSSPOTLIGHT on BUSINESS ADVERTISING FEATUREThe Parts.

PA GE A8 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ September 20, 2006P Faint hope clause, bail revisions among targets DURHAM — “Fed up” Cana- dians expect laws to protect the innocent and punish criminals, federal Justice Minister Vic To ews said during a recent visit to Oshawa. The minister outlined a sweeping slate of legisla- tive changes that he said will bolster community safety by keeping accused gunmen be- hind bars and ensuring those who’ve been convicted of se- rious crimes remain incarcer- ated until their sentences have been served. “Canadians are fed up with the soft approach to crime that has been going on for so long,” Mr. Toews said during a lun- cheon speech to members of Oshawa’s Chamber of Com- merce. “So I’m saying our respon- sibility as a government is to change the law.” Top priorities include refus- ing bail for people accused of violent crimes, eliminating conditional sentences for vio- lent offenders and revoking a law that allows convicted kill- ers to apply for parole before their full sentences have been served, Mr. Toews said. After his speech Mr. Toews promised to move quickly on his promises, telling reporters bail revisions and repealing of the so-called faint hope clause for lifers will be addressed dur- ing the minority Conservative government’s current man- date. The faint-hope clause has taken prominence in Durham recently. In July, Michael Yare- ma, convicted in 1990 of the first-degree murder of Oshawa man Terry Spindler, was suc- cessful is his application under the clause. A jury ruled Mr. Yarema, 38, can apply for parole next year after serving 17 years in prison; he was originally sentenced to life with no chance of parole for 25 years. The decision angered mem- bers of Mr. Spindler’s family, who have vowed to fight for the elimination of the faint hope clause. They have an ally in the jus- tice minister. “There should be no back- door escape route where some- one can get less than he or she was sentenced to,” Mr. Toews said. “We are committed to re- pealing the faint hope clause,” he said. “We feel it’s an important step to restore people’s faith in the criminal justice system.” During his visit to Durham Mr. Toews participated in round-table discussions with business leaders, listening to their concerns regarding crime and justice issues.

To e ws promises crackdown on criminals AJAX — Despite issuing close to $2 billion in building permits since 2000, the ratio of residential to non-residen- tial assessment continued to worsen in Ajax. Economic development manager Luisa Da Rocha told councillors on Monday the ratio is now 89 per cent resi- dential to 11 per cent non- residential. “We have the worst assess- ment ratio in Durham, at 89- 11. It’s not ideal and getting worse,” she said. The percentages are for 2005, Ms. Da Rocha added, noting in 2004, the non-resi- dential was at 12. To the end of July, the Town has issued more than $1.8 bil- lion in building permits since 2000, Ms. Da Rocha said. “That number will hit $2 billion by the end of the year,” she added. “Leading the growth is resi- dential, particularly in the north end.” Aj ax continues economic expansion Just one more way to get your news thanks to your friends at the Metroland Durham Region Media Group durhamregion.com 1Offer ends October 31, 2006.

DURHAM — General Motors is refusing to comment on published reports that a deal is in the works for an alliance between the company and auto giant Ford. “GM officials routinely discuss is- sues and we won’t comment on them publicly,” said GM Canada spokes- woman Patty Faith. “We won’t confirm or comment.” Automotive News, a trade jour- nal in the United States, reported on Monday that the two Detroit-based automakers were in discussions to form a possible merger. According to Automotive News, several people familiar with the talks said that discussions involving se- nior executives began in July but are not taking place now. Both companies are currently implementing turnaround strategies after losing billions of dollars last year and seeing their market share decline in favour of Asian compa- nies. The news of a potential partner- ship comes on the heels of rumours that a merger between GM, France’s Renault SA and Japan’s Nissan is in the works. In July, GM confirmed that it was engaged in talks with representatives from the two companies.

Just one more way to get your news thanks to the NEWS ADVERTISER newsdurhamregion.com Garage door: making the right choice ADVERTISING FEATURE H O M E S W E E T H O M E HH OO MM EE SS WW EE EE TT HH OO MM EE Usually, we buy only one garage door in our life: when we build a new house or when we renovate. This is why consumers look for reliability, durability, style and appropriate insulation. When shopping for a new garage door, what are the key elements to consider that will help you make the right choice? Dan Hill from Autograph Door Systems has listed eight points to examine carefully. 1. Insulation Doors can be insulated or non- insulated. Dan Hill explains: “If the garage is attached to the house you’ll want an insulated door. Garaga uses pressure injected polyurethane foam which is the same method used in your entry door. This provides twice the insulation than polystyrene (Styrofoam).” If you have a detached garage only used to park the car, you can opt for a non-insulted or polystyrene door. 2. Insulation and R-Value An insulated door will keep the garage area (and rooms above or adjacent) warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer; this will help reduce utility bills. Dan points out: “The higher the R-Value the better the insulation, for example a door with a R-16 rating has twice the thermal resistance than one of R-8 value.” 3. Method Insulation is either pressure injected foam (polyurethane) or in the form of a polystyrene sheet between the door’s steel skin. Pressure injection completely fi lls the door cavity and adheres to the steel skin. This adhesion greatly reduces the chance of the skin separating from the insulation causing the door to sound tinny. Inserting a sheet of Styrofoam between the metal skins leaves voids and the glue may not hold causing the skin to separate from the insulation. 4. Metal Thickness (Gauge) The gauge is a numbering system of measurement used in steel. The lower the number the thicker the steel. 14-gauge is thicker than18-gauge therefore much stronger. A thicker gauged metal skin combined with pressure injected insulation provides the best impact resistance. 5. Hardware Composed of tracks, hinges and re- enforcement plates. Hardware is the back bone of a door system. It carries the weight of the door and provides the connection between the panels (hinges). A thicker gauged hardware system will ensure the door system will last longer. 6. Thermal break A thermal break in a door system means that the front metal skin does not contact the back metal skin along the length and door panel ends. Dan also mentions: “Without a thermal break, heat and cold transfer occurs thereby reducing the insulation value of the door. Garaga products all have wood end blocks instead of metal end caps that can create frost build up and door sections to freeze together.” 7. Rollers Rollers which ride in the track and carry the weight of the door come in 3 styles: nylon, nylon with ball bearings and metal with ball bearings. Nylon rollers with ball bearings will last longer than nylon rollers without ball bearings and are quieter than the metal rollers with ball bearings. 8. Weather Seal The weather seal perimeter of the door is what prevents wind, rain and snow from entering the garage. The type of weather seal used should not be overlooked. A good weather seal is made up of two parts, the seal gasket and the holder. A plastic holder with screw cover can match the colour of your door and hide the screws that hold it to the door frame giving you a professional fi nished look. The seal gasket should be made of rubber and not vinyl so if will not split or crack. Making the right choice is not an easy task. Garaga knows what the consumer is looking for and manufactures each door with the best materials out there, increasing the level of security and insulation of each product. “You never get a second chance to make a good impression: our consumers always fi nd in Garaga reliability, durability. That’s why: Garaga is a choice you’ll never regret!” concludes Dan Hill from Autograph Door Systems.

VISIT OUR LARGE SHOW- ROOM story by Garaga PA GE A10 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ September 20, 2006A/P By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM — The art on the wall catches the eye instantly. It is filled with vibrant reds, greens, blues, and yellows. The bright colours help to liven up the previously drab white walls of the new Youth Room at the Ajax Community Centre. The stars, bubble letters and charac- ters that cover the walls are full of fine detail, but they weren’t done with a stencil or a small brush. The walls of the room are covered by the work of Chad Beer and Jeff Goring, two Pickering graf- fiti artists hoping to clear the name of the craft they both are passionate about. The two want to educate people about graffiti, especially after several hate- crime vandalism incidents in Pickering and other acts of vandalism involving spray paint this summer. Incidents, they say, cast a bad light on what they do. “You can see the difference between the people who do it properly and van- dalism. It all gets grouped into the same category, but that isn’t graffiti, that’s vandalism,” Mr. Goring said of, for ex- ample, the young people who deface a bridge with some scribbles or their name in one colour. Mr. Beer said those teens who loiter or drink and then deface property ruin the good work they’ve done trying to show people graffiti is art. “(What they do) it’s still classified as graffiti when really it’s straight up van- dalism,” he said. Both artists began their career using prohibited places as their canvases, but then realized illegally painting an area was not the way to go. So they found walls and places where they were al- lowed to practice their craft out in the open. Mr. Beer said he would go to property owners and propose he spruce up their bland exterior walls with a piece of graffiti. Now people come to him and pay him to do his art on their buildings. Sometimes, though, this causes problems. Mr. Beer said some property owners receive letters from the City of Pickering saying if the graffiti is not re- moved, they’ll be charged under the property standards bylaw. That may soon change. The City is in the process of drafting a bylaw to deal specifically with graffiti. City solicitor Andy Allison said one of the areas cov- ered would be for council to determine what is graffiti and what should be done with art. “(Whether to) remove graffiti as peo- ple know it, but not necessarily to say no to art as something that might improve the streetscape,” he said is one area council will deal with. When asked if maybe letting the City know when they’ve done a piece would be a good way to avoid it being painted over, Mr. Beer responded, “we shouldn’t have to get to that point. “If this was done with a paint brush it’d be OK, but because we’re using an aerosol (can) we’re treated differently.” The two say they’ve always been cre- ative. Mr. Goring started doing graffiti about 11 years ago, while Mr. Beer has been doing it for six. Over the years, through practice, they have gotten better and shared their art with more people. They even had a booth at Artfest in Pickering this year. “We love to paint...And showing you can do something with your life that you like,” said Mr. Goring. He deals with the misconceptions about graffiti all the time. “People are shocked because I’m a Christian and I do graffiti,” he said, add- ing he sometimes incorporates scrip- ture into his pieces. “We’re not out to destroy your city,” he said. Mr. Beer does believe attitudes will come around. “It will change in time,” he said. “That’s what makes it interesting, if you didn’t have to change people’s minds you’d just be painting.” Some of Mr. Goring’s work can be found at www.gospelgraffiti.com under the name Sonz.

CMHA–Durham officially celebrat- ed the opening of its new facility at 60 Bond St. W., last week. A ribbon-cutting ceremony attend- ed by members of the agency, Mayor John Gray and Oshawa MPP Jerry Ouellette, among others. “We now have a suitable space which now houses our comprehen- sive range of community services,” said Jim Hunt, president of CMHA– Durham’s board of directors. The new location, known as the Bond Centre, has been occupied by some of the agency’s services since 2004 and is now spread out over the location’s eight renovated and redec- orated floors. The project began in 2003, with a 3- year accreditation from the Canadian Council of Health Services Accredita- tion. CMHA-Durham, which has been serving the community for 47 years, was the first community mental health organization in the province and the second in Canada, to receive this designation. “Most community services are in- visible,” said Linda Gallacher, CMHA- Durham’s executive director. “We wanted to show the community who we are, what we’re doing and our vision of an integrated mental health and primary care service.” According to Ms. Gallacher, the building’s main selling points were the centralized location along a mu- nicipal transit route and the large con- ference room, which would allow the location to be a “big meeting space in downtown Oshawa. “We want to be a part of the down- town’s growth,” Ms. Gallacher said. “We can be a partner with business- es to make the downtown a better place.” Although the agency and all its services are now headquartered in Oshawa, Ms. Gallacher stressed that CMHA–Durham is a regional service. Although she described the orga- nization’s range of social assistance as “pretty stretched” throughout the region, the agency works with other social organizations to further assist clients of these services. And the task will be made a lot easier by the new centralized CMHA centre. “Every community is different,” she said. “Every part of the region has dif- ferent issues. Nobody can do it all -- that’s why we’re thankful for our great partnerships (with other agencies).” “We’re just so happy,” Ms. Gallacher said. “It’s been a 22-year journey. We’re very excited and proud.” Long j ourney ends as Mental Health Durham finds home Walter Passarella/ News Advertiser photo DURHAM — The Durham Region Branch of The Canadian Mental Health Association officially opened up its new location at Bond Centre at 60 Bond St. E., Oshawa on Thursday.

On the heels of the Au- gust 2003 blackout that af- fected millions in North America, as well as the local SARS scare, various levels of government and business- es are now updating and strengthening their emer- gency preparation plans to be ready in the event of a disaster. In turn, a new emergency management program was developed to meet the needs of this emerging job market, col- lege officials said. “For almost 40 years, Durham College has built a reputation as a provin- cial leader in delivering curriculum and programs that meet the ever-evolving needs of today’s students,” said Leah Myers, president of Durham College. “This type of response to market needs, a faculty of industry leaders and a hands-on learning environ- ment all help to drive enrol- ment growth at the cam- pus.” Tyler Furnis, who gradu- ated from the Durham Col- lege Police Foundations program in the spring, is now among the first stu- dents enrolled in the new post-diploma program at the Whitby campus. He said joining the program seemed like an intelligent choice in light of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and his background in policing. “It’s related to the same field, it’s a resume-builder and I was interested in it as well after what happened with Sept. 11,” Mr. Furnis said. Meanwhile, construc- tion programs are among the most popular with stu- dents this year, college of- ficials said, with electrical, plumbing, gas technician and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning ap- prenticeships leading the way, “The growth of our con- struction programs is re- flective of the rapidly grow- ing residential construction sector in Durham Region,” said John Woodward, prin- cipal of the Whitby campus. “Our students are clever enough to know where the jobs in that industry are and they are taking challenging programs that will set them apart when they graduate.” durhamregion.com Just one more way to get your news thanks to your friends at the Metroland Durham Region Media Group 2006 OSHAWAOSHAWA CIVIC AUDITORIUMCIVIC AUDITORIUM 99 THORNTON ROAD SOUTH, OSHAWA Friday, September 29th 1pm - 8pm Saturday, September 30th 9am - 5pm Sunday, October 1st 10am - 4pm $5 ADMISSIONSat.S e p t .30th 1 0 a m &2 pm For the KIDS Larry Pot ter (NOT HA RRY, LARRY) THE CLO WN Sun.Oct.1st12pm-4 p mSunday AuctionKAHNS FURNATURE AUCTION Key Not e Topi cs Incl ude: • Step by St ep (Kimb erley’s top 4 ste ps to D ecorati ng Su ccess !) • Fas hion Tre nds in Home D ecor • Defi ning Yo ur Sty le • Spring into Deco ratin g • Kitchen s & Bath s • French Des ignSat.S e p t .3 0 th 1pm &3 p m KEY NOTE SPEAK ER Kimb erley Seldon Val id ALL W EEKEND SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com Ajax Soccer Club Rep Tryouts for 2007 Outdoor Season 1999 - U8G DGSL Michelle White (905) 421-8757 9:00 AM Sportsplex 2 Sat.

The Cougars suited up for the Donald A. Wilson tournament, winning all four of its round-robin games to be declared tournament champions. Notre Dame posted a 30-23 victory over the Father Leo J. Austin Wildcats of Whitby in Game 1. Monique Johnson and point guard Lindsay Panchan led the way with 12 points apiece. Next, playing the host Donald A. Wilson Gators in Game 2, the Cougars emerged with a narrow 28-25 victory. Felicia Roberts paced the Cougars with an eight-point effort. In Game 3, against the Brock High School Bulldogs, the Cougars chalked up a 41-27 win. Panchan and Johnson led the way once again with 13 and 10 point performances, respectively. The Cougars kept their perfect record intact with a decisive 52-19 vic- tory over the All Saints Titans of Whitby. Panchan led the way with 22 points. Roberts added five. Cougars’ junior coach Rose Booker notes the tournament victory was a solid start to the season for the young squad. “They’re young and they’re good. They worked very hard,” says Booker. “It was a great way to start the sea- son.” She was especially delighted with the progress of Panchan, the starting point guard, who was able to distribute the ball well throughout the event. “I was really pleased with Lindsay. She’s a new point guard and was a real leader out there for us.” Notre Dame’s senior and junior girls’ squads begin LOSSA ‘AAAA’ league action today (Wednesday) when they host Oshawa’s O’Neill CVI. The senior game starts at 2:45 p.m., with the junior contest following immediately after.

[ Car racing ] Pickering driver earns series win at Mosport PICKERING — A Pickering car driver finished with three top-five fin- ishes in the Formula 1200 championship series after a successful return to the track at Mosport International Speedway last weekend. Frank Steinhau- sen, 48, earned second-, first- and fifth-place f inishes aboard his Re/Max-spon- sored car during the penultimate weekend of rac- ing in the series. Last month, Steinhausen was hit from behind twice in series races, the last accident resulting in extensive damage to his car, which took three weeks to repair. The two DNFs in the series meant Steinhausen has no chance of winning the drivers’ title this season. “You have to have points in every race in the series, so it’s unfortunate,” says Steinhausen. He does, however, sit solidly in sec- ond place in the standings with one rac- ing weekend to go at Mosport on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1. Steinhausen says the final racing date is also his final races of his career, as he plans to retire from racing. He plans to focus on his son’s karting ca- reer instead.

Thomas busts a big gain up the middle during Central Ontario Minor Football League atom division action against the York Region Raiders at Kinsmen Park on Sunday. The atoms improved to 5-0 on the season with a dominating 47-0 win. Assistant Pat Curcio takes over behind bench By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — The Pickering Pan- thers junior ‘A’ hockey team parted com- pany with head coach John Winder on Monday, replacing him with assistant Pat Curcio. In his fourth season behind the Pan- thers’ bench, Winder was given the news by Panthers’ general manager Frank Robinson Monday afternoon. Curcio will make his head coaching debut today (Wednesday) when the Panthers host the St. Michael’s Buzzers at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7:30 p.m. The move to replace Winder came a mere three games into the regular sea- son and followed the Panthers emphatic 9-6 victory over a solid Markham Waxers squad in Pickering’s home opener on Sunday. Robinson admits the Panthers’ play- ers were shocked after being told of the shakeup. The players were informed of the decision soon after Winder was re- lieved of his duties and Curcio hired. Winder was understandably shocked, too, of the news. “I was a little surprised. You do your best and that’s all you can do and then you find out that your services are no longer required. It’s a hit to the ego and dishearten- ing to hear,” says Winder. Despite being hurt by the news, Winder says he harbours no ill will toward the ownership group. “There are no ill feelings. I wish them luck. I wish Pat Curcio all the best. He’s young and has good ideas.” Robinson says the decision to relieve Winder was brewing as late as last sea- son after losing to the Markham Waxers in four straight games in the confer- ence semifinal playoff series. The storm clouds returned after losing the first two regular-season games to the Durham Fury and St. Mike’s. Ultimately, Robinson says the owner- ship group believes the team has un- derachieved, with a roster it believes possesses the talent to contend for a conference title this season. With that in mind, the decision was made to cut ties with Winder. “Basically, we’ve had pressure on us to achieve. There was a lot of disap- pointment with four straight losses to Markham last year and there was talk of underachieving,” says Robinson, who added it was one of his worst days on the job. “When we got off to a start of less than we expected, the pressure was on. We thought a change of coaches was the way to go. Why delay the process. It was a tough thing to do.” Curcio, says Robinson, was the natural choice to succeed Winder insofar as he’s coached several of the Panthers’ players during his association as a head coach in the Toronto Red Wings minor hockey system in the Greater Toronto Hockey League. “Pat Curcio now knows the team well. Any one (of our players) who’s come up through the Red Wings, he’s coached previously. He knew the team better than if we went outside to get a coach, so we wanted to stay with him. He has a lot of playing and coaching experience. We think he’s the best choice right now.” Curcio, 33, says he’s anxious to get started. “I’m very excited to have the oppor- tunity. I believe we have a strong team, a good mix of vets and rookies. I think there’s a lot we can accomplish,” says Curcio, who played his junior hockey in Ottawa, before playing minor pro hockey and later playing elite-level pro hockey in Europe, specifically Germany and Italy. Curcio had nothing but kind words for his predecessor, saying Winder was a “phenomenal man and a great coach.” The new coach’s first order for his players is installing a greater sense of discipline. “I think, first and foremost, is discipline -- make sure the team has discipline. I also want to focus on the new game of speed, skill and puck movement. I want to provide hockey that will be success- ful for our team, but is entertaining to watch, too,” says Curcio, a Toronto native and resident.

That’s what Todd Hosmer wants to bring to the ice as a second-year for- ward with the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League club. “I’m a lot more comfortable with the puck and have a lot more confidence as a veteran player this year,” notes Hosmer, 18, a Scarborough resident. “I know how to prepare a lot better, but definitely I’m a lot more confident.” Hosmer’s more than lived up to his newfound veteran status in the Panthers’ home opener against the Markham Waxers at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Sunday night. The 6-foot, 185-pound forward scored two goals and added three assists in leading the Panthers past the Waxers 9-6 for Pickering’s first win of the sea- son. The Panthers play at home again to- night (Wednesday) against Toronto’s St. Michael’s Buzzers at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Hosmer underwent a bit of adjust- ment prior to Sunday’s contest, as for- mer head coach John Winder chose to move the talented forward from cen- tre to the wing on a forward line with centre Jus- tin Fox and fel- low winger Chris Dunham. “I played cen- tre in midget and I started this season at centre. Coach Winder thought I would be a bet- ter power winger, so he moved me to the wing with (Justin) Fox and (Chris) Dunham and we had a great game, for sure,” notes Hosmer, who was unfazed by the move to the wing. Winder was similarly happy with his decision to play Hosmer on the wing for the Markham contest. “We talked it over before about him moving to the wing. He played a bit (on the wing) on Friday night (against St. Michael’s in Toronto) on the power play and we liked what we saw. We asked him to move over there tonight and he opened up the ice for Justin and Chris.” Great game might be an understate- ment for the hard-charging offensive trio. In addition to Hosmer’s five-point effort, Fox added a goal and four as- sists, while rookie Dunham chipped in with two goals and two assists for a dominating 14-point perfor- mance for the forward unit. Moreover, it was Dunham’s goal on the power play, as- sisted by Hos- mer and Fox, at the midway mark of the sec- ond period that opened the floodgates and ultimately led to the Panthers’ breakthrough vic- tory over a solid and fleet Markham squad. The Panthers scored three more before the end of the period to take a commanding 8-4 lead into the second intermission. Markham outscored the Panthers 2-1 in the final frame, but the dam- age was already done by the Panthers in securing the all-important victory, which ended the Waxers’ three-game unbeaten streak to open the regular season. Winder notes the victory also sent a message to the Waxers, which, last season, cruised past the Panthers in the South Conference semifinal series in four straight games. “We reminded (our players) of that before the game and they responded,” says Winder of last season’s playoff series sweep. The weekend started on a low note for the Panthers (1-2), as they suffered their second loss of the season on the road in Toronto, 4-2, to the defending South Conference and league cham- pion St. Michael’s Buzzers. Winder noted the Panthers played with much more passion against St. Mike’s than in the lacklustre season- opener loss (4-3) to the Durham Fury in Oshawa last Tuesday. Pickering led 2-1 in the second pe- riod of Friday’s game, but St. Mike’s re- sponded with three consecutive goals later in the middle frame to hand the Panthers their second defeat of the season.

Schofield and Fleishman scored for the Panthers in the loss to St. Michael’s Friday... A freak accident kept Josh Booth, one of the newest Panthers, out of the starting lineup for Sunday’s home opener against Markham. The 6-foot, 1-inch, 195-pound forward fell awk- wardly into the boards during a recent practice session, fracturing his elbow. The extent of the elbow injury, says former head coach John Winder, won’t be fully known until swelling has sub- sided. Booth will be out of the lineup indefinitely.

AJAX — Getting that first win, says the Ajax Attack’s newly named captain, will hopefully open the door for many more. But, attaining that all-important first taste of victory is proving more than a little elusive for the beleaguered Attack junior ‘A’ hockey team, which is hoping for a vast improvement this year follow- ing a five-win, last-place campaign last season. Giving every indication it is a team on the rise heading into the regular sea- son, with a 3-1 exhibition record and finishing as semifinalists at the recent Va ughan pre-season tournament, the Attack has nonetheless faltered badly with four straight losses to open the 2006-07 OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League season. The latest Attack setback was a 7-4 loss to the Vaughan Vipers in Vaughan Mon- day night in the back end of a home- and-home series. The Attack played in Oshawa Tuesday night against the Durham Fury, with the result unavailable at press time. The Ajax juniors also played the Vipers in their regular-season home opener at the Ajax Community Centre on Saturday afternoon, dropping a 5-2 decision. The Attack sank even lower with a 7-0 drubbing at the hands of the Markham Waxers in Markham Friday evening. The current winless string is a little hard to take for second-year Attack cen- tre and new captain Michael Aiello. But, he’s certain the players will respond with improved play. “We know we’re a better team than our record. We know that we can play better than that. We know things will turn around when we get our first win. We ju st have to get that first win,” says Aiello. fall sessions EDGESEDGESthree locations edges to learn skate PROGRAMS AVAILABLE AT THREE LOCATIONS Director, Janice Cook, Coaching Association of Canada (Level 3 Certifi ed), Children and Adult Skating Programs in Durham Region for the past 9 years For More Information Call 905.831.1271 Visit us at our website for program information, start dates, times and to download a copy of our registration form Register Early as classes fi ll up very quickly www.edgeslearntoskate.com 10 Week Programs Available for Fall Sessions Ten Levels of Instruction from Introductory to Advanced Parent & Tot (2-5) Preschoolers (2-5) Learn to Skate (4-16) Adult Learn to Skate Learn to Figure Skate (Recreational) Hockey Skating Skills Development Art Thompson Arena, Pickering Ajax Community Centre, Ajax Luther Vipond Arena, Brooklin Coaching Committed to Excellence Ajax Soccer Club Registration Nov. ‘06 - Mar. ‘07 Indoor Soccer & Early Bird Outdoor ‘07 77 Centennial Rd.

TWO GREA T RESTAURANTS! 1999$ By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — The Ajax United Magic 93 girls’ under-13 regional premiere rep soccer team hopes it can sprinkle some pixie dust one more time this season. The Magic celebrated their achieve- ments at a banquet at the Carruthers Creek Golf Club last Friday. But, the players and team staff are focused on one more victory to make a successful season complete. The Ajax United girls compete for the Tom Dunleavy Cup in Unionville on Sunday, Oct. 1 against an as-yet-to- be-named opponent. The 12th annual Dunleavy Cup tournament of cham- pions pits the Central Girls’ Soccer League champion Ajax Magic against the winner from the South Region in the under-13 division contest. The Ajax squad’s season can only be described as ‘Magical’, as the club is one of three from the CGSL to graduate to the Ontario Youth Soccer League for next season. The OYSL is an elite soccer program -- the highest available in the province. It’s only the second time in the history of the Ajax United Soccer Club one of its teams has been promoted to the OYSL. The Magic booked their promotion to the OYSL three weeks ago, after nailing down third spot in the CGSL regional premiere division standings. But, Ajax isn’t satisfied with merely finishing third. Last Wednesday, the Magic clinched the league title with a decisive 5-1 victory over the Scar- borough Hurricanes at Scarborough’s McLevin Park. Overall, the Magic finished with an enviable league record of 16-1-1, amass- ing 46 goals for, while allowing a stingy nine goals against in CGSL games. The Magic also posted 12 shutouts in league play. Overall, the club’s record is 36-6-5 this season. Moreover, the Magic defeated two of its biggest league rivals this season, beating Richmond Hill twice, while also hanging a loss on Scarborough United -- a first for the United. Magic head coach Richard Hirst says having the team ascend to the elite provincial level has been the goal since he began coaching the team two years ago. “With this group, it’s been a goal since I’ve been here over the past two season,” says Hirst, who coached in the Oshawa Kicks organization for eight years, before coming over to the Ajax United club, where he’s coached since 2000. “It’s been a goal since I first came here.” Hirst says there were several reasons why the Magic enjoyed the calibre of season it did. “Chemistry and team dynamics -- these were probably the two biggest,” explains Hirst, who was aided by as sistant coaches Mark Lee and Alain Santos, and manager/trainer Diane Wiltshire. “From there, their technical skills. These players were fundamen- tally sound and they learned very well. They’re all very coachable, which al- lowed my job to be very easy.” The Ajax United Magic 93 team is al- ready planning for next season. Tryouts are slated to start tonight (Wednesday) at the Ajax Community Centre’s Mon- arch field from 7 p.m. Tryouts continue on Sept. 27 at the same field and time.

Willow David looked at the sky through a sea of leaves. And Janice Sniderman? She eyed 10 eggs. The three Ajax residents are all winners in the To wn of Ajax and Black’s SuperStore Photogra- phy Contest 2006. The winners and those who received honourable mention were recognized at a Sept. 13 reception at the McLean Community Centre. Ms. Sharp took the Best in Show prize for her black and white photograph, ‘Home for the Holi- days’, which shows a passenger train travelling through a winter landscape, kicking up a veil of powdery snow as it passes. “We were on winter vacation at Bayview Wild- wood (Resort), near Orillia,” she explains. “There was a train that came right by the lodge... I knew it was coming and I waited. I got up right close to the track and took simultaneous pictures.” When contest time came along, Ms. Sharp brought a number of her photos to her workplace and held a mini-contest of her own. She had al- ready decided what photos to enter, but she still needed title suggestions. If a co-worker came up with a title she intended to use, Ms. Sharp would bake the person some cookies. However no one cashed in for the winning photo title. “That was my suggestion, so I got to bake my- self cookies,” she jokes. Willlow David is 11 years old, but no stranger to the winners’ podium in the Ajax contest. Her third, first-place showing in the Child’s category is for ‘Oak’, a photo taken at a park in Ottawa. “I was on the ground and I was under a tree and I looked up and saw the sun shining through the oak leaves,” she says of her photo. Remarkably, the picture and her two previous winning images were snapped with a point-and- shoot disposable camera. Willow’s father, Cyrus David, who took the Adult First Place award in this year’s contest for his ‘Tasty Restaurant’, says he and Willow were on “a casual photo shoot” in the nation’s capital at the time. Willow likes nature pictures and, so far, doesn’t share his passion for photography. And that’s fine with him. “She’s very casual about photography; dad’s the one who’s passionate about it,” he says, adding, “there’s no pressure.” Willow is looking to take her photography to the next level. “When I get a better camera I think I’m going to do black and white (photography), because I’m interested in that,” she says. Janice Sniderman picked up first prize in the Best Digitally Enhanced photo category for ‘Eye Dunno’- but she also took the most trips to the podium on awards night, notching seven honour- able mentions as well. ‘Eye Dunno’ shows 10 eggs in a carton that are actually eyeballs, supplied courtesy of her daughter, Kristin Sniderman. The image’s origin is in a book on digital photography she received as a gift. She entered 16 photos in the contest and, like many participants, is an avid enhancer. “Digital photography all the way,” she enthuses. Noting this choice can create controversy in the photo world, from purists who argue images should not be manipulated, Ms. Sniderman ar- gues that even in the old days of black and white photography, images were manipulated with various techniques. To see a treasure trove of her images, visit frameofmind.my-expressions.com, her photo blog, where Ms. Sniderman tries to post at least one photo every day. Ms. Sharp is also a digital enthusiast, and de- scribes photography as “a very active hobby for me.” Also winning awards in the contest were: Best Historical Ajax- ‘Breakwater@Pickering Beach’, by Sylvia Clark; Best Black and White, untitled, Paul Crowley; Best Nature- ‘Bali’, Jaclyn Walkington; Adult Second Place- ‘Snake’, Robert Carleton; Adult Third Place- ‘Soother’, Mike Lopes; Youth First Place- Untitled, Patrick McEachnie; Youth Second Place- Untitled, Christian Capid; Youth Third Place- Untitled, Patrick McEachnie; Child Second Place- ‘A Game of Marbles’, Tabitha Red- dekop, and Child Third Place- ‘Maisie at the gate’, Shane Lawrence. Over 500 entries were received for the contest, and the jurors were Cynthia Michaud, the mini lab manager at Black’s Photography Ajax and an avid photographer, Pickering artist Dorsey James, and photographer Mary Cook. The photos are on exhibit at the McLean Com- munity Centre until Oct. 21. There is no admission charge, and the public can view the photographs Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mike Ruta/News Advertiser photo Willlow David shows off her first-place showing in the Child’s category, ‘Oak’, a photo taken at a park in Ot- tawa.

ADVERTISING FEATURE Every child deserves to live a happy, healthy life, and thanks to The Childrenʼs Wish Foundation of Canada, which is dedicated to working within the community to fulfi ll heart felt wishes for children diagnosed with a high-risk, life-threatening illness, more Canadian children are being given the opportunity to see their dreams come true. Started right here in Ajax on the kitchen table of volunteer Laura Cole over 22 years ago, The Childrenʼs Wish Foundation has granted 12,500 wishes from Coast to Coast, with 2,500 granted in Ontario and half of those granted here in Durham Region. Jennifer Paterson, parade chair and spokesperson for the Foundation says its goal is to help every child enjoy the best quality of life possible, including the experience of laughter, shared joy and treasured memories with important people in their lives. “For a child whose wish is about to be granted, the pain and discomfort of the illness, and often harsh treatment regimes, somehow becomes more bearable. For many, the excitement of planning and anticipating their dream has a dramatic effect on their healing. These courageous youngsters often experience a renewed sense of energy and hope as they see a different kind of light at the end of the tunnel,” she says, adding wishes are also about moms and dads, brothers and sisters, and the precious moments spent together planning, enjoying or refl ecting on the special magic of a wish.”a You can help create the magic of a wish by joining the Foundation in the annual Wishmaker Parade – Walk for Wishes at St. Andrews Community Center, Ajax. This National event is a pledge-based walk/parade, followed by a community celebration, taking place on October 14 in more than 100 communities across the country “All proceeds will help grant wishes for children between the ages of three and 17 who face high-risk, life threatening illnesses,” says Paterson.

Internet Opens Up a World of Shopping Options Online shopping offers vast new opportunities for Canadian shoppers to access unique, high-quality merchandise from retailers in the United States and beyond, and have it delivered directly to their doorsteps. At the same time, many U.S. retailers are looking northward and fi nding new ways to accommodate a nation of potential new customers, for whom online shopping is a growing pastime. U.S. retailer JCPenney has seen Canadian business on its e- commerce site, jcp.com, grow double digits in the past 3 years. The retailer says Canadian customers are drawn to jcp.com’s vast assortment of fashionable apparel and home merchandise that provides high quality at smart prices. JCPenney was the fi rst U.S. department store to sell via the Internet, and today, jcp.com consistently scores high marks in independent surveys of speed, quality and ease of shopping. Online sales via jcp.com surpassed $1 billion for the fi rst time in 2005, and continue to grow at a rate of 20 percent to 30 percent year over year. Shopping Your Way Internet shoppers can take advantage of expanded merchandise offerings that many retailers offer online. JCPenney calls jcp.com its “largest store” because the web site offers more than 200,000 items and is backed by 6 million square feet of warehouse space. Offerings include 17,000 distinct items in window coverings; men’s shirts in sizes up to 5XL; and heavyweight, all-cotton JCPenney Home Collection towels in 42 colours. “Our goal is to provide customers with the best online experience in the industry,” said John W. Irvin, President of JCPenney Catalog and Internet. “We know customers appreciate the convenience and breadth of merchandise our site offers, and the trusted quality and value JCPenney is known for.” The site features many popular brands such as Levi’s and Nike, and many that can’t be found anywhere else online, such as decorative home accessories and home textiles by Chris Madden for The JCPenney Home Collection, comfortable and classic casual wear by St. John’s Bay, and career apparel by Worthington for women and Stafford for men. Keep It Safe and Sound JCPenney offers its Canadian customers trouble-free transactions. Canadian purchases on jcp.com usually are delivered to the customer’s home within seven to 10 business days and order totals include all applicable taxes, duties and shipping costs. With more than 40 years’ experience selling directly to consumers via its legendary catalogues, and more than a decade in online retailing, JCPenney has earned a high level of trust from its millions of customers. “Our site uses the latest encryption technology, which assures customers that sensitive information can be transmitted safely and securely and won’t fall into the wrong hands,” says Kevin Gebhardt, Vice President and Director of Multi-Channel Coordination for JCP Direct.

Donations gratefully accepted to the Hospital for Sick Children. By William McGuirk DURHAM — Sometimes it’s neces- sary to step aside and let the subject speak without a translator. These are Gord Downie’s words. This is what he wants you to hear. In doing so he hopes for action... beyond the stage, the podium, the lectern. Downie leaves off The Tragically Hip for now and performed Monday evening at the Courthouse Theatre, Centennial Build- ing, Centre Street South in Whitby. He spoke about our shared heritage, Lake Ontario. He hopes you will listen. Mostly he hopes you will join with the Waterkeepers in maintaining that heri- tage. Q: What is the Heart Of A Lake Tour about? GD: The lake, to me, is our defining symbol. The symbol of our wealth, our worth, our value. It is the metaphorical heart of our province, of our part of the world. It is where everything begins and it is where everything ends... up. Everything ends up there. It is where you can check the pulse, the pressure, the health of a generation. And how are we doing? Can we drink its water? Can we swim in it? Can we eat the fish we take out of it? In these communities, we have questions. We find ourselves getting divided, going-it-alone, trying to organize and coalesce, wanting for more information, for meaningful ac- cess to the process, for a seat at the table. We are trying to learn the is- sues and decode the decisions that will surely affect our childrens’ childrens’ futures. We are trying to demonstrate our ‘public concern’ because, we are told, an impressive-enough demon- stration of public concern says a gov- ernment must take a closer look at your questions. This tour is hopefully, the beginning of the Lake Ontario commu- nity -- which includes government and industry -- coming together to search for the heart of the lake. Q: When did you become involved with the Waterkeepers? GD: It was the moment when I learned, from Waterkeepers, that Lake Ontario belongs to us -- all of us. The lake is in the public trust for us to enjoy and protect. A moment later, I learned that good, toothsome environmental laws are already on the books to help us protect our birthright, from polluters, by making it very costly for them to do so. Shortly after that moment, I learned, that Waterkeepers can help communities understand their rights and recognize when these laws are being, perhaps, negligently broken or willfully ignored it’s been a few years now, since then. In the fall of 2004, Waterkeepers came on the road with The Hip, setting up their booth in every venue and talking to hundreds of in- terested people in 14 Canadian cities about ‘winning back’ their local lakes, bays and rivers. They talked to law stu- dents, they signed up 1,250 members and they helped introduce the Fraser and Bow Riverkeepers to the public and launched the Thunder Baykeeper. Presently, I am working with Water- keepers, pressing the Government of Ontario to order a Part V Hearing that would, openly and transparently, as- sess the effects on local air and water, a plan by the French cement giant La- farge to burn tires as fuel in their 35- year-old cement kiln. Q: The environment and the land have always shown up in the Hip’s songs... are there any songs on the new album that reflect your interest in this organization? GD: Yer Not The Ocean. Someone is talking to the lake, hence to himself. It is a heart-to-heart, if you will. He is confiding in it, hurling insult at it, dismissing it, turning his back on it, misunderstanding it, living by it, dying by it. ... “And though you’re so real and you’ve more youth everyday/ and you can think and feel and get out of your own way and though I’m nothing, you are just a lake made to take it and take and take and take. Yer not the ocean, yer up to my chin yer not the ocean, yer not coming in...” Mr. Downie played in Port Hope Tuesday night and plays in Kingston Sept. 21.
