Durham Regional Police report the driver of the truck hit a hydro pole after he swerved to avoid hitting a car. The intersection was closed to 9 p.m. While power was restored to the majority of customers by noon, about six businesses didn’t get power restored until late Wednesday night. ✦ See Chief, Page 5 Accident cuts power to Village Outage lasts into the night as Kingston Road remained closed to 9 p.m. AJAX — Evening rush hour traffic was snarled and about a half-dozen Veridian customers were without power until 10:30 p.m. We dnesday, Oct. 11 follow- ing an accident in Pickering Vil- lage. The accident happened at 9:40 a.m., when a tractor trailer slammed into a concrete hydro pole at Kingston Road and Church Street in Ajax. Durham Regional Police Ser- geant Paul McCurbin said the truck was westbound on Kings- ton Road when it collided with a car attempting to turn left, north onto Church Street. Ve ridian spokesman George Armstrong said power in the Vil- lage was disrupted for a short time because of the accident. “It caused a short-term outage over a wide area,” Mr. Armstrong said. About 1,200 customers were without power until 11:40 a.m., he noted. Damage to the pole meant crews had to replace it and that work meant the power to about six customers, primarily busi- nesses, was out until late Wednes- day night, Mr. Armstrong said. “Crews worked to replace that pole,” he stated. “The power supply on those circuits had to be rerouted. That’s why the power was out so long.” Sgt. McCurbin said Kingston Road was closed until about 9 p.m. Wednesday. Both drivers involved in the collision suffered serious, non- life threatening injuries.

More than a dozen striking Dur- ham Region Transit (DRT) workers picketed at the gates of the Wooden Sticks Golf Club in Uxbridge on Oct. 11. The protest, Canadian Auto Work- ers Union unit chairman John John- son said, was aimed at members of Durham Region Transit upper man- agement. Mr. Johnson said management could have better spent their time trying to end the strike, which is now one-week old. “We just wanted to show our pres- ence there,” Mr. Johnson said. Although Mr. Johnson said they appreciate that the golf tournament was being held for a good cause, the Ontario Special Olympics, work- ers felt the managers should have been working on a resolution to the strike. “We certainly weren’t happy they weren’t working on a resolve,” Mr. Johnson said. The pickets did not impede anyone trying to enter the golf course, but DRT general manager Ted Galinis said the pickets didn’t go unnoticed. “It certainly wasn’t pleasant for people arriving,” Mr. Galinis said. Contrary to CAW reports, Mr. Gali- nis said no member of the negotiat- ing team golfed in the tournament. The bulk of the DRT management, including Mr. Galinis, took a vaca- tion day in order to attend the event. Mr. Galinis said he and deputy general manager Phil Meagher did not play in the golf tournament. In- stead, they greeted guests and then returned to the Regional headquar- ters for the bulk of the day. They then went back to the golf club for supper and the cheque pre- sentation. This, the second annual DRT golf tournament, raises money for the Ontario Special Olympics, which is DRT’s charity of choice. Va rious events, from sports tour- naments to raffle draws, are held throughout the year in support of the organization. This year’s golf tournament, it is estimated, raised $50,000 for the charity, up from $45,000 raised last year. Mr. Galinis said it is a shame the CAW used a charity event as a bar- gaining tactic. “We are available to talk if the union wants to come back and talk,” Mr. Galinis said. “We are ready to go any time they are.” Among the issues in dispute are retiree benefits, cost of living adjust- ment and contracting out.

Ms. Goudet was one of about 60 residents who came out to share their concerns with Durham Re- gional Police Chief Vernon White at a town hall meeting Wednesday evening. Most of the people in attendance were from the Glendale neighbour- hood near Liverpool and Kingston roads who wanted to discuss the concerns they have with people drinking, and doing and selling drugs in the Pine Creek ravine. Ms. Goudet said she ends up hav- ing to call the police every Saturday night because of the people hanging out under the bridge and causing a disturbance in the area. “We can’t even let our kids go out to play without checking the grass for bottles,” she said, adding she has found broken glass and used con- doms in her yard. “We’re picking up (marijuana) roaches off our pathway,” she said. Sue and Doug Anderson have lived in the area since 1979. “We’ve always had a bit of a prob- lem with where we’re at on the bridge, but they’re getting older and bolder and louder,” she said. A month ago three shots were fired right behind their house. “They were not fireworks,” Mr. An- derson said. They say things have been bet- ter in the last month due to an in- creased police presence. Some at- tribute the decrease in activity to the cooler weather and that school is back in session, but the Andersons said people continued to hang out in the area last winter. The town hall was one of eight the chief is holding across Durham Region, with meetings in Uxbridge and Ajax to take place Oct. 23 and Oct. 24, respectively. “I believe in the community hav- ing an opportunity to speak to the police about issues,” Chief White told the crowd. He talked about the police need- ing to come up with a new ser- vice delivery model. “We’re trying to change the way we do business in terms of our bound- aries in order to better respond to our calls,” he said. In an interview following the dis- cussion, Chief White said the issues he heard from Pickering residents were not that different from those in other areas. “We are hearing some of the same issues across the region,” he said. “Parks is a big issue.” He said the police were aware of the problems in the Glendale area and they have increased pa- trols under a new project in the past month.

Garth Johns claims the union is asking for way too much such as benefits for retirees, Cost of Living Allowance and restrictions on contract workers. The reality here is that the union isn’t asking for these things because they already have them. They are trying to keep these benefits and save jobs. How can a party in negotiations be “asking” for something they already have? Obviously, they cannot. Mr. Johns claims that what the union is demanding is “ab- solute lunacy.” Compared to the wages of DRT employees, his and Roger Anderson’s salaries are the real testament to absolute lunacy. The drivers chose to strike at 6 p.m. so as not to strand their commuters. They offered to operate the HandiTransit buses for patients requiring regular medical appointments so as not to endanger their customers -- on a voluntary basis dur- ing the strike -- but the Region denied the offer and is going to hire cabs. DRT employees are not demanding wage increases and do not want to be on strike. Put yourself in their shoes: If your boss decided to pillage your contract, what would you do?

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 13, 2006 durhamregion.com I t is October, and for many, October means one thing: breasts. Ye s, I said breasts. Get over it. October is breast cancer awareness month. Not only that, but the first week of the month, Oct. 1 to 7, was World Breast- feeding Week. For a woman like me, who is both a lactavist and the daughter of a breast cancer survivor, that makes for a big month. Next month marks 14 years since my mother’s initial diagnosis. It is the type of activities that take place each Octo- ber, when money and awareness are raised through an array of events, to which I at least partly credit her current good health. For awareness and public discussion of a disease once not men- tioned in mixed company has brought with it better rates of recovery. As Samantha King said in a column in the Toronto Star last week, “The develop- ment of the women’s health movement in the 1970s lay important groundwork for specific issues that breast cancer activists would address in the decades to come. “Heightened political activism dedi- cated to changing surgical practices and increasing funding for breast cancer re- search in the 1980s and 1990s, coincided with the emergence of large, well-fund- ed organizations, such as the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation devoted to the struggle against the disease.” More awareness should mean more fundraising, more research and eventu- ally, I hope, a cure. As Breast Cancer Awareness Month began, so, too, did World Breastfeeding Week. This year, the Region of Durham tar- geted its campaign at fathers. That makes sense -- fathers may not be the feeders during the breastfeeding relationship, but by a number of means, they can help sup- port the mother in ways that help ensure success. Anecdotally, I can say that was certainly the case in my home. Without my husband’s support, we never would have made it past the three-week mark. With his support, we got to about a year (just under with one, just over with the other) mark with both kids. “Fathers may not physically be breast- feeding, but that does not mean they are excluded from the opportunity to es- tablish a bond with their babies,” said Tir zah Chung, a public health nurse with the Durham Region Health Department. “Fathers can care for the newborn baby in between feedings by bathing or changing the baby’s diaper, and by simply holding the baby skin-to-skin.” There’s plenty a dad can do in those early days and breastfeeding can really be a family experience. Greater awareness and education has made for both better early detection and treatment of breast cancer, and increased breastfeeding rates. October serves as a great time to think about both.

In October, thoughts turn to breasts Jennifer Stone staff writer Operation Impact makes mark locally Thousands of people across Ajax and Pickering wanted nothing better than to have a happy, safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving weekend. But, before and even after families sat down to tuck into turkey and all the trimmings, Operation Impact officers were on the road, making sure local highways and streets were safe. Operation Impact resulted in hundreds of tickets being writ- ten with numerous unsafe cars and trucks taken off the road. Police worked alongside inspectors from the provincial trans- portation ministry in order to make sure the road safety blitz was thorough. The goal of the operation was to target unsafe and aggressive drivers and to team up with RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Ev- erywhere) cops to send out a signal that unacceptable behaviour is not allowed on our roads. There were 188 vehicles pulled over for inspection with 115 taken off the road. A number of safety sins were identified by officers including rotting vehicle floors and parking brakes that failed. A total of 94 provincial offences notices were written up and licence plates were taken from 61 vehicles. A further 347 tickets were issued for speeding, careless driving, unsafe passing and seatbelt violations. RIDE officers did their part, checking some 2,500 vehicles across the region and arresting three drivers for impaired driv- ing. There were also nine roadside breath tests administered with six temporary licence suspensions handed out. Operation Impact was a regionwide program but was part of a larger nationwide effort sponsored by the Canadian Association of the Chiefs of Police. The clear message after a long weekend involving such an all- encompassing sweep is that far too many people are still speed- ing, driving recklessly and operating unsafe vehicles. The only way to effectively curb such behaviour is to hit offenders where it hurts the most -- their wallets. Let’s hope the cha-ching of the cash register reminds them to slow down and be courteous next time they hit the road. Board approves recommendations by a citizens’ advisory committee By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — Catholic school board trustees are getting a raise. The Durham Catholic District School Board de- cided to increase trustee salaries to more than $11,000 a year at its Oct. 10 meeting. The decision was made following recommenda- tions by a citizens’ advi- sory committee to estab- lish wages at the maximum amount allowed for the board under new provin- cial rules for trustee sala- ries. “I would like to thank you for a wonderful report,” said Whitby Trustee Mary Ann Martin, the Catholic board’s chairwoman, to members of the advisory com- mittee. “I think you really knew the details of what our Catho- lic school system is all about, what our trustees do.” Before the board voted on the recom- mendations, Pickering Trustee Paul Bannister declared a con- flict of interest under the Municipal Act because of the pecuniary interest in- volved in the wage increas- es. “I don’t think we should take part in setting our own honorarium,” said Trustee Bannister. Under the regulation, the board could not approve a salary or retroactive pay increase before it received recommendations from a citizens’ advisory com- mittee, which included three parent and three community rep- resentatives on school councils. For the annual honorar- ium beginning Dec. 1, 2006, Durham Catholic trustees will get a base amount of $5,900 per member, plus $5,378 based on an enrol- ment component calcula- tion. The chairperson of the board will get an extra $5,000 for the base amount and $1,229 for enrolment, bringing the total salary to $17,507.49. The vice- chairperson also gets more - $2,500 extra for the base amount, $614 for enrol- ment, equaling $14,392.84. A $50 attendance fee per meeting will also be given to trustees for going to Supervised Alternative Learning for Excused Pu- pils Committee and Spe- cial Education Advisory Committee meetings. “What if you weren’t a member of that,” asked Trustee Kathy LeFort, who represents Brock/Scugog/ Uxbridge. Patricia Manson, direc- tor of education for the Catholic board, said the fee will only be provided to those who serve on the committee. “OK good,” said Trustee LeFort. Oshawa Trustee Fred Jones said the Province knew what it was doing when it introduced the honorarium increase and asked if any money was coming from it to fund the raises. “There has been no correspondence from the ministry to indicate that,” said Ms. Manson. Under the approved recommendation, current trustees will also receive retroactive pay for the pe- riod of Sept. 1, 2005 to Nov. 30, 2006, which adds an additional $7,832.50 to the $6,250 trustees would have received for the 15-month period. Currently, trustees re- ceive $5,000 a year, with chairpersons and vice- chairpersons often getting an additional amount.

SKU: 10064815/10046852 durhamregion.com Tr ucker charged in Whitby boy’s death DURHAM — A truck driver involved in a collision that took the life of a Whitby boy in August is facing a crimi- nal charge, police have confirmed. William Gordon, 12, died after his mother’s Pontiac Sunfire was rear- ended by a transport truck on Hwy. 401 near Salem Road in Ajax Aug. 17. At the time police said the Sunfire had slowed for a construction delay in the west- bound lanes when the truck slammed into the car. William, who was sitting in the back seat, died at the scene. His mother and a 13-year-old brother were taken to hospital with serous injuries. An investigation launched at the time of the crash led police to issue a warrant for the 44-year-old trucker, Whitby OPP said. The man was ar- rested in Montreal Wednesday . German Krotenko is charged with criminal negligence causing death and two Highway Traffic Act infractions, including an allegation of failure to maintain a commercial vehicle.

Durham Regional Council decided to go ahead with the reduced fare program, even though Durham Re- gion Transit (DRT) staff did not rec- ommend it because of the unfunded cost and potential legal and eligibil- ity concerns. Staff said they need to determine the long-term impact of the pro- gram. “We need to have some operations experience to determine what the impact of this program will be,” said Neil Killens, DRT’s deputy general manager of transit. “The issue is lost revenue from riders that currently pay the full rate.” But council voted to go ahead with the special fare for now. “We want to get it going and we want to do it fair and we want to do it right,” Oshawa Councillor April Cul- len said. Beginning Nov. 1, ODSP recipi- ents will be able to purchase reduced fare monthly transit passes equal to DRT’s seniors monthly fare of $25. The pass will be a six-month pilot project, however the monthly fare will increase to $35 in January when the seniors’ rate rises. A group of clients from Oshawa- Clarington Community Living have routinely attended council meetings since March, they said, hoping to emphasize the need for a special fare for Durham residents living with in- tellectual disabilities and on fixed in- comes. A dozen of them were present when the motion passed at Regional Council Oct. 4. “I wanted to get up and applaud them,” said Terri McCabe. “We are absolutely thrilled. That is a huge chunk of money out of their monthly income; it really makes a big differ- ence for them.” As the outcomes manager for Os- hawa-Clarington Community Living, Ms. McCabe supports 60 clients with intellectual disabilities who live on their own in the community. DRT is the only municipal transit provider in the Greater Toronto Area to institute this type of program. “We will be identifying locations where they can go and register and then they can go to their normal point of purchase,” DRT deputy gen- eral manager Phil Meagher said. The estimated cost of the program, $200,000, will be funded through the social services budget and the Province will be asked to provide a subsidy for the program under the existing ODSP program. The reduced fare program will be reviewed in 2007.

Dr. Sonia Katyal joined the com- munity health centre in August. The Youth Centre received funding for another full-time doctor a year ago, but it wasn’t able to find one until now. “We are absolutely delighted that she’s here,” said Susan Bland, execu- tive director. Over the past year, the centre had to depend on locums (doctors filling in for a few hours here and there) because not only could it not find a doctor to fill the new position, but its full-time doctor, Dr. Parm Singh, was off on maternity leave. In addition to the locums, the nurse practitioners were relied upon to fill the void. “The nurse practitio- ners worked very hard to make sure they could take care of the needs clients have been presenting,” Ms. Bland said. Anne Cayouette is the full-time nurse practitioner at The Yo uth Centre. She calls Dr. Katyal’s arrival a blessing. “It’s so much better when you have someone here on a regular basis and you get to know them,” she said. “There are certainly things we can do on our own, but there are still things that need to be co-signed by a physician.” Ms. Cayouette said they tried to meet the needs of the clients by using the locums, but for example, if someone came in exhibiting signs of his first asthma attack he would have had to go to a walk-in clinic be- cause nurse practitioners can only prescribe inhalers for refills, not ini- tial prescriptions. Dr. Katyal, a recent medical school graduate, is happy to be at The Youth Centre. “What interested me in coming to Ajax is working with adolescents,” she said. As a youth-focused community health centre, the Youth Centre of- fers free and confidential services to teens in Ajax and Pickering, includ- ing medical, health promotion and counselling services. It is staffed by a team of professionals including a dietician, social worker, and early childhood educator. “If you were to take any of those professionals out of the mix it makes it difficult,” Ms. Bland said. Dr. Katyal likes being part of the team. “What I like here is the care is so comprehensive...There are so many resources here that are not at other clinics,” she said. Dr. Katyal splits her time between The Youth Centre and clinics in Bowmanville, Ajax and North York. The Youth Centre is still looking for another half-time physician to com- plement the team. Clients can visits doctors at the centre on a regular basis or for a specific medical episode or ques- tion. Youth can make appointments or the centre has three walk-in times on Monday, Thursday and Friday.

Volleyball tournament and fair for volunteers By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — Jurors will soon retire to deliberate in the mur- der trial of Ronald Woodcock, accused of killing two Durham men during a crime spree here 12 years ago. Evidence in the trial, which began Sept. 5, was wrapped up Friday when the Crown rested its case. Mr. Woodcock’s defence team opted not to call evidence. In the five weeks since the trial began prosecutors John Scott and Greg O’Driscoll have called numerous witnesses in building their case against Mr. Woodcock, who faces two counts of first-de- gree murder and several other charges relating to a bloody rob- bery at the Gagnon Sports shop in Oshawa on Sept. 14, 1994. Among them were eyewitness- es who were present in the Sim- coe Street South store when two masked men burst in and gunfire erupted. The men sped off in a stolen car after grabbing 11 hand- guns from a display case. Store owner Roger Pardy died after being shot in the head; three other men in the shop were wounded. Earlier in the day Ken Thomas of Pickering was mur- dered execution-style, his car used as the getaway vehicle by the Gagnon’s robbers. Mr. Woodcock and two accom- plices were arrested immediately following an armed robbery in London in early 1995. The men were found to be in possession of guns stolen from Gagnon’s. Jurors were scheduled to hear final submissions from the pros- ecution Wednesday, with the de- fence presenting its arguments Thursday. Superior Court Justice Edwin Minden will likely deliver his charge to the jury early next week, after which they will be seques- tered for deliberations. We wouldn’t tell you how to live your life.

In a ruling released Tuesday the appeal court rejected Cary Patrick Cleyndert’s argument his sentence for manslaughter was too steep and that a trial judge had erred in dis- missing his claims of remorse. The court also ruled Superior Court Justice Robert Clark was cor- rect in finding Jesse Gray, who was unarmed when he was stabbed eight times during a scuffle with Mr. Cleyn- dert, was a “vulnerable” victim. “(Mr. Cleyndert) inflicted mul- tiple stab wounds in a cluster on a vulnerable part of the victim’s body (his torso),” Justices Eleanore Cronk, Susan Lang and Jean MacFarland w rote in their ruling. “Several of those wounds were life-threaten- ing.” Mr. Cleyndert was 19 when he at- tended a post-prom party for stu- dents in rural Zephyr on June 8, 2002. During the party he became involved in a confrontation with Mr. Gray’s girlfriend; when the 24-year- old Mr. Gray challenged him the two men fought. Mr. Cleyndert pulled a 5-inch but- terfly knife -- a restricted weapon -- and struck the fatal blows. Originally charged with second- degree murder, Mr. Cleyndert was found guilty of manslaughter after a trial in early 2004. During the trial Mr. Cleyndert’s lawyer advanced a self-defence sce- nario, pointing out Mr. Gray’s size and the fact he was punching Mr. Cleyndert when the stabbing oc- curred. Justice Clark imposed a sentence of 12 years, deducting three and a half years of “dead time” Mr. Cleyn- dert spent in custody awaiting trial. “(W)e see no basis to interfere with the trial judge’s conclusion that the circumstances of this offence placed it at the high end of the appropriate range of sentence,” the appeal court judges wrote. Appeals court denies sentence reduction bid Covering Durham’s education situation ccrimi@durhamregion.comREPORTER CRYSTAL CRIMI Councillors not sold on membership in marketing alliance By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — Recent activities of the Greater Toronto Marketing Al- liance (GTMA) prove the benefits of the organization, Dr. Bernadette Schell says. Dr. Schell, the GTMA board member representing Durham Re- gion, and Karen Campbell, also of the GTMA, attended the Region’s Sept. 27 finance and administra- tion meeting to give committee members an overview of recent GTMA activities. They included the 2006/2007 International Mar- keting Plan, raising international awareness through the GTMA’s mission to India and attracting in- ternational delegations. “The world is connected to the Greater Toronto Area though the GTMA,” Dr. Schell said. “For the fees that are being paid, the Region gets a lot for their money.” The GTMA is a public-private partnership representing 29 mu- nicipalities and regions in the Greater Toronto Area, the govern- ments of Ontario and Canada, sev- eral not-for-profit organizations, and a broad cross section of pri- vate-sector corporations. Following the municipal elec- tion in November, Durham council will decide whether to enter into a multi-year service agreement with the GTMA in 2007. Some councillors argued the Region is getting little or no return on the investment of $100,000 per year. Dr. Schell said there is huge benefit to be gained from the Re- gion’s membership in the GTMA and that can be seen through Os- hawa making the short list of a Dutch gaming company looking to relocate. The company toured Oshawa and is considering basing at least part of it’s operation out of the city because of the proximity to the University of Ontario Institute of Te chnology (UOIT). The univer- sity has a game development en- trepreneurship degree, which Dr. Schell said graduates the kind of people the company wants in its industry. Meanwhile, the Region’s own in- ternational marketing campaign, initiated by the economic develop- ment and tourism department, has been working away since April. Since being given the go ahead for a nine-month pilot project of sorts, Pat Olive, the commissioner of economic development and tourism, said the project has been going well. “We are getting a lot of expo- sure,” Mr. Olive said. The Region’s international mar- keting program has been focused on delegation and foreign trade in it’s mission to expand Durham’s business influence in foreign countries and attract investment. There are a lot of incoming for- eign delegations and the Region’s international marketing program has been working closely with them, including some from Swe- den, Ireland, Poland, Germany and China.

A motion to assist in fund- ing work at Memorial Hospi- tal in Bowmanville and the Port Perry Hospital passed at Regional Council Oct. 4. John Loreto, of the Memo- rial Hospital Bowmanville Foundation, updated Re- gional councillors about the foundation’s project, which involves the reconstruction and expansion of services at the hospital’s emergency centre, including expanding emergency space, same- day surgery and endoscopy, creating new intensive care units and a breast cancer centre of excellence. The total project cost is $9.7 million, with a finan- cial commitment from the Region of $150,000 annually over five years for a total in- vestment of $750,000. “The purpose is to recon- struct and expand services of Bowmanville hospital emergency centre,” Mr. Lo- reto, said. “Our goal is to raise $10 million over the next five years.” The hospital, he said, was built to accommodate 25,000 visits a year but cur- rently it accommodates 40,000 and that number is expected to rise to 50,000. “We will be able to care for more patients and will have a state-of-the-art emer- gency room in Durham,” Mr. Loreto said. “We can impact the entire Region’s health profoundly.” Port Perry Hospital Foun- dation’s Dr. Bill Cohoon also appeared before council. He said the hospital project involves the construction of a new endoscopy suite and the reconstruction and expansion of emergency space. Ministerial approval and funding for this project has been obtained. “We have been leaders in health care delivery and pre- vention in Port Perry over the years,” Dr. Cohoon said. But, because of increasing demands due to growth and an aging population, im- provements are needed, he added. Construction is slated to begin in November and completed July 2007. Fund- raising for the project is al- ready well underway. “We are well over the mil- lion-dollar mark, we expect to go forward to the com- munity at large and secure the rest of the funds.” The total project cost is $4,036,028 and $1.5 mil- lion has been raised to date. They are requesting a finan- cial commitment from the Region of $50,000 annually over five years for a total in- vestment of $250,000. Although council sup- ported helping to fund the hospital projects, con- cerns were raised over the provincial commitment or lack thereof being made to health care in Durham. “This year the download- ing cost that the Province gave us cost $106 million,“ Whitby Councillor Joseph Drumm said. “Take back all the stuff you gave us.” Ajax Mayor Steve Par- ish received support for an amendment saying council petition the provincial gov- ernment to allow the raising of cash through develop- ment charges for hospital purposes and that the MPPs of Durham Region be re- quested to sponsor such a bill. “I think this is a position we have to take,” Mayor Par- ish said. “It is not our man- date to do it.” Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce said she agreed with Mayor Parish, but added that until the Region wins that battle, it needs to con- tinue to support the area hospitals. “Health care right now is the top issue no matter what municipality you are in,” Mayor Pearce said. “Whitby lost its hospital through the ministry amal- gamating services,” Claring- ton councillor Jim Schell said. “We need to maintain these community hospitals.” Ajax councillor Colleen Jor- dan said the Region needs to be loud and clear in insisting it not be shortchanged as far as health and social services in this region. “The growing gap in funding per capita in health and social services,” Coun. Jordan said. “The growth in this Region has far exceeded the funding provided by the Province for both health and social services.” 1412 Kennedy Road Scarborough, Ontario M1P 2L7 Tel: 416.285.9990 Fax: 416.285.0114 Electrolight 1412 Kennedy Rd.

The church recently found out it will be receiving a total of $131,300 in grant money for the next five years to help its Footprints program. “We were ecstatic. It just ex- pands everything we want to do.” said Corrine Brook-Allred, chairwoman of the steering committee. “Now we can buy specialized toys (and expand the program).” The church applied for the funding at the beginning of the year and the official announce- ment was made at the begin- ning of the month. Ms. Brook-Allred said the grant is going to help with their budget. “Now we don’t have to be looking at should we send our co-ordinator to this training or that training, now that is built into our budget,” she said. Footprints provides a safe environment where children with autism spectrum disor- ders can play, learn, and in- teract while their caregivers have time to do the groceries or have a meal out without any children. Trained volunteers work one-on-one with the children and all sessions are supervised by the co-ordinator. The program is offered Wednesdays from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from noon to 3 p.m., which will be expanding to 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The cost is $5 an hour. “It gives them time to be able to go do something, (helps them so) that they don’t have to be super parents,” Ms. Brook-Allred said. The steering committee began investigating the pro- gram in January 2003 and it was established in May 2004. Ms. Brook-Allred said it was the first-hand experience of one of the members of the congrega- tion that sparked the idea. “She opened our eyes that having a child with a disabil- ity like this is a 24-hour job,” she said. “Being able to have a few hours where they wouldn’t have to worry about their child is such a resource.” The grant is going to be used to optimize the health and well-being of children with au- tism spectrum disorders and their families by increasing ac- cess to volunteer respite ser- vices. Ms. Brook-Allred said they are looking for more families. She said she knows some families are reluctant to leave their children with a volunteer for a few hours, but she said all the volunteers are trained in introduction to autism, first aid, and crisis prevention inter- vention. She said the parents who use the program seem to appreciate it. For more information, call the church at 905-839-7271 or 905-420-0388.

PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 13, 2006 PAGE 25 A/Pdurhamregion.com ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT durhamregion.com It’s a real family affair on Borelians’ stage By Christy Chase Staff Editor DURHAM — The first play of the season for the Borelians is all about family. Both on and off stage. Noel Coward’s ‘Hay Fever’ is being staged Oct. 19 to 28 and is a comedy of manners, albeit bad ones, focusing on the Bliss fam- ily, whose theatrical excesses are unleashed on innocent weekend visitors. Mother Judith Bliss, a theatrical matriarch, is played by Lorraine Chiusolo, who has been seen in several Borelians’ productions. Judith’s son, Simon, is played by Chiusolo’s son, Paul, who ap- peared in two of the Borelians’ shows last season. But wait, there’s more. The director is Annette Stokes- Harris, who has appeared on Port Perry and Uxbridge stages. She also appears on stage as one of the guests, Myra. Playing the Bliss daughter, Sorel, is newcomer Lara Stokes, the director’s niece. Producing the Coward play is Carey Nicholson, involved in many artistic endeavours throughout Durham. Her hus- band, Andy Williamson, another Borelians’s stalwart, plays guest Richard in ‘Hay Fever’. Stokes-Harris said she and her niece have always wanted to act in the same play and finally that is happening. For the Chiusolo’s, it’s business as usual on stage, even though this is the first time they’ve acted together. “It’s not weird or anything. I thought it might be but it’s not,” said Mr. Chiusolo. “I try not to be his mother when I come to the theatre,” his mother said. “We’re both individuals.” She will admit to being proud of him, adding he won a THEA award’s special adjudicator’s award for best ensemble for the Borelians’ production of ‘Or- phans’. “I’ve waited 18 years for one and he comes home with one,” Mrs. Chiusolo said. She pointed out the relation- ships in her real family are far dif- ferent from those of the bickering Blisses. “We’re a very different mother and son, other than the fact Ju- dith really does love her children. There’s a lot of fighting. Our house is much more harmonious,” she said. Other actors involved are Mi- chael Serres as David, Judith’s husband, Mireille Awad-Arnberg, of Oshawa, as guest Jackie, an- other THEA Ward winner Graeme Powell as guest Sandy, and Mary Delaney, of Brougham, as servant Clara. There’s also an appearance by Mary Parulski, the costume de- signer, as a maid. “It’s been an absolute delight,” said Stokes-Harris about her work with the cast. ‘Hay Fever’, one of Coward’s earlier plays, is great because of the many interesting characters in it and the fact the drama comes from the characters, she said. “As a director, I am attracted to plays where the dominant dra- matic element is character. “These plays are a wonderful vehicle to showcase the talents of a wide variety of actors. All the roles are unique and offer great challenges because they must be finely delineated personalities,” she said. “Coward was a clever artist who wrote about genuine people. The Bliss family was inspired by a real artistic family of writers and actors who hosted Coward for a weekend. Coward captured their megalomania and underneath his flippancy is a wonderful world of subtext.” It’s this that “elevates the simple plot,” where a group of weekend house guests are treated rudely or even ignored and have to navigate their way through the family’s minefields, she said. “I get to be really nasty, really outrageous,” Mrs. Chiusolo said of her role. “You can say things you never say in real life.” Stokes-Harris also likes the time period of the play, set in 1920s England. Parulski has done her usual great work coming up with costumes typical of the period, the director said. Mrs. Chiusolo agreed. “It’s like playing dressup and we have this huge tickle trunk which is Mary’s basement,” she said. Stokes-Harris said she’s using music from the period to help set the scene, including a recording of Coward’s ‘Mrs. Worthington’ sung by Coward himself. The director added she finds the play is a good fit for Port Perry. “Both are beautiful, classic gems that can be explored with attention to detail during a lovely fall weekend in October. We prom- ise to be more hospitable than the Bliss family. We will please your senses, tickle your funny bone and make you eager to come back soon for another visit.” The play runs at Town Hall 1873 with curtain time at 8 p.m., with 2 p.m. matinees Oct. 21 and 28. Tickets are available individually and as part of the Borelians’ first subscription series, at Henshall’s Clothing and Gifts, 241 Queen St. Or call 1-866-808-2006 or visit www.starticketing.com.

The Canadian Oil Heat Association (COHA) in conjunction with the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA), the regulatory agency responsible for fuels safety in Ontario, including furnace oil distributors, wishes to inform all fuel oil consumers of the following: Ontario regulation 213/01,passed in June 2001, requires that all fuel oil (including furnace oil) consumers have a safety inspection of their oil systems by certain deadlines. Failure to comply will legally require that distributors terminate the fuel oil supply to any premise until a comprehensive inspection of all oil-related equipment has been completed. This safety inspection verifies that the operational condition and installation of your oil system complies with national safety standards and codes put in place to maintain the safety of you and your family. To ensure continued oil delivery and safe use of your oil equipment, the COHA and TSSA request that you provide your distributor the opportunity to inspect your system. Furnace oil consumers that have not had a comprehensive inspection completed should immediately contact their fuel oil supplier to arrange for this important safety inspection.

Join Durham novelist at book launch party Reading, signing and on-stage interview to promote Susanna Kearsley’s ‘Every Secret Thing’ DURHAM — An exciting night of intrigue is promised at the Whitby Central Library as Susanna Kearsley launches her latest novel on Oct. 19. Writing under the name Emma Cole, her new thriller-writing alter ego, the suspense novelist spins a tale in ‘Every Secret Thing’ that takes the reader from present day Toronto and London to Second World War era Lis- bon in an attempt to solve a decades- old murder. “It was a very exciting book to write,” Kearsley said. “I actually interviewed women who transcribed secret mes- sages for Sir William Stephenson.” Kearsley, a Catherine Cookson award winner for her novel ‘Mariana’, spends a great deal of time research- ing her stories. A former museum cu- rator, her research stories are almost as exciting as her novels. From con- ning her way into Oxford’s Bodleian Library to read Charles II’s original court documents to climbing down a Merovingian holy well in the ancient chateau town of Chinon, France, Ke- arsley pays attention to details. “I talk to people and spend time finding out what the communities are like that I write about. I hope that comes through in the work,” she said. The idea for ‘Every Secret Thing’ actually came during a research trip in Venice the author was on for her last novel, ‘Season of Storms’. “It was on this trip, at the airport in Venice, that I found myself scram- bling for paper and pen to write down a stray sentence that had just come into my mind: ‘I first met Andrew Deacon on the morning of the day he died.’” And that was the beginning of a journey that would take her from the streets of modern Lisbon to the living rooms of some unlikely war heroes and even down to Washington where, in the wake of 9/11, she would meet a former FBI man who would come to be one of the book’s key characters. In addition to launching her book with a reading and signing, CBC in- terviewer and author Ted Barris will provide an on-stage interview with Kearsley as well.

Suspect defensive work leaves Pickering juniors fit to be tied By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — A funny thing happened on the way to what ap- peared to be a surefire win for the Pickering Panthers over the visit- ing Huntsville-Muskoka Otters on Wednesday night. The Panthers forgot about de- fence. Coughing up a comfortable four-goal, second-period lead, the Pickering juniors eventually settled for a disappointing 8-8 overtime draw in OHA Ontario Provincial Ju- nior ‘A’ Hockey League action at the Pickering Recreation Complex. After playing relatively well through the first half of the contest, the Panthers’ game inexplicably de- teriorated rapidly thereafter. Penal- ties, turnovers in their own end, and all-round shoddy defensive work took its toll, allowing a surprised Otters team to steal a point on the road. It’s a good thing the Panthers have offence to burn, or it could have been even uglier. In a wide-open second period devoid of any defence to speak of from either team, the Panthers and Otters combined for nine goals, with the Panthers clinging precariously to a 7-6 lead at the second intermis- sion. Although they held an 8-7 lead with 5:06 to go, the Panthers lost it once again as the Otters scored the equalizer less than a minute later. A five-minute 4-on-4 sudden-death overtime frame failed to settle the issue. And, suffice it to say, Panthers’ head coach Pat Curcio was unhap- py his charges could stray so far from a game plan that was hum- ming along fine through the first half of Wednesday’s contest. “I’m very disappointed,” says Curcio. “The way they played in the first half of the hockey game and then we take a couple of penalties that they score on, the momentum changes and we begin to change our style of play. We’re still a young team on the back end and when we get scored on we have to get back to what we do well. Unfortunately, we fall apart after a few bad ones.” The Panthers’ goaltending played a role in turning an infinitely win- nable game into a draw. After al- lowing his fifth goal of the night, starter Connor Sampson was pulled in favour of Marc Stuart, who was also shaky, allowing a goal on the first shot he faced. The Otters fared no better in the cage, yanking starter Daniel Stein after the fifth goal in the second period in favour of Ryan Cote, who was beaten for three more goals. While Curcio was loathe to point the finger at his goaltending, he be- lieved his netminders could have provided more big stops. “You never want to say it’s the goaltender’s fault, but we weren’t getting what we needed at the right time. That really took the wind out of our sails.” One Panther who had plenty of wind in his sails was assistant cap- tain Brett Connolly, who logged a lot of ice time, played with a chip on his shoulder and, more impor- tantly, led the offence with a hat trick. Also making his mark offensive- ly was newcomer Phil McIlhone, in his second game back with the Panthers after obtaining his release from the Ontario Hockey League’s Oshawa Generals last Friday. The talented winger scored his first goal and added a pair of assists. The Panthers go back to work for what promises to be a busy weekend. On Friday, the St. Mi- chael Buzzers are in Pickering for a 7:30 p.m. game. On Saturday, the Panthers are in Ajax for a rematch against the Attack at 3 p.m. On Sun- day, the Panthers are in Scarbor- ough to take on the Toronto Junior Canadians.

The talented forward last played with the Panthers two years ago, with a season in the interim spent with the Ontario Hockey League’s Oshawa Generals. Last season, the 6-foot, 205-pound left winger put up 24 points (six goals, 18 assists) with a struggling Generals squad. He ar- rived in Oshawa in August, 2005 after the Sudbury Wolves, which held his draft rights, dealt him to Oshawa for an eighth-round pick in 2006. This sea- son, however, McIlhone felt he was squeezed out by the youth movement underway in the Motor City, leav- ing him at a crossroads in his hockey career. He played spar- ingly in the club’s first two league games and was pencilled in well down the Generals’ depth chart at forward. With this in mind, he came to the realization his hockey career would be better spent elsewhere. “It was no disrespect to (Generals’ head coach/GM) Mr. Selwood. The organization was great for me, but I felt it was something I needed to do to get better as a hockey player. The youth movement is in full swing there, and I didn’t see myself fitting into it. “It was more selfish on my part. I feel bad that I left the team the way I did. But, I’m just trying to get better and I thought it would be better for me down the road.” After clearing OHL waivers last Friday, the 19-year-old was signed to an Ontario Hockey Association card by the Panthers and was im- mediately inserted into the lineup for last Friday’s home date against the Toronto Junior Canadians. He registered an assist in the 9-3 loss to the Canadians. “It’s different now, some of the guys I last played with have come and gone, but there are a lot of good guys on the club,” says the Whitby native. “There are a good core of guys I played with before. It’s good to come back and be relied on a lot more.” In his second game with the Pan- thers against the Huntsville-Mus- koka Otters on Wednesday, McIl- hone played on one of Pickering’s top lines alongside veteran pivot Justin Fox. He scored his first goal of the season, while adding two assists in an 8-8 overtime tie. Although he notes he’s still a bit sluggish after at least a week off ice after leaving the Generals and sign- ing with the Panthers, he’s confi- dent that once he’s in shape, he’ll be able to contribute even more to the team. Panthers’ head coach Pat Curcio says it was unexpected to have Mc- Ilhone drop into the team’s lap. He’s ecstatic to have him back. “To add that type of talent to our roster will help us in the long run,” said Curcio. McIlhone last played with the Panthers during the 2004-05 sea- son. Despite missing seven games to injury that year, he still finished as the team’s third leading point getter with 45 points (22 goals, 23 assists). McIlhone’s 22 goals tied him for the team’s goal-scoring crown. McIlhone hopes his return to the Panthers will ultimately help him land an NCAA athletic scholarship in the U.S., or perhaps at a Canadian university.

Perkin July 5, 1932 - October 16, 2004 We had a mom in a million we loved you until the end, We lost two precious things in life our mom and our best friend, So many times we've needed you so many times we've cried, If our love could have saved you, you never would have died Until we meet again, Mark, Nicole, Martin, Taylor, Megan and Kathleen McNAMARA, Verna (nee Van Sickle)It is with deep sadness we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved mother on Wednesday, October 11, 2006, one week short of her 103rd birthday.

Mom was born in Jerseyville, Onta- rio and moved to Saskatchewan, as a teenager where she met our father "Mr. Mike". They lived there for a time, and returned to Toronto 1935. Mom's motto was "It's better to give than receive" and that's why she insisted we bring gifts for the Food Bank instead of presents for her on her birth- days. A special thanks to Dr. Petrov, her family doctor, and the staff at the Community Nursing Home, Pickering for their compassionate care in the last 6 months of her life.
