The annual Kinsmen and Kinette Club Santa Claus Parade takes place Saturday, Nov. 18. The Kinsmen and Kinette Club have been busy elves getting everything ready for the big day. They’ve orga- nized the animated floats and march- ing bands that will take part in this year’s event. This year 60 to 70 local service clubs, organizations and businesses will par- ticipate with a float; the parade keeps growing every year. For nearly 40 years the parade has traditionally ushered in the holiday season in Pickering. Children should remember to bring their lists and letters for Santa as his helpers will be walking the route col- lecting them for him to make sure old Saint Nick gets them in plenty of time. Following his appearance in the pa- rade, Santa Claus takes up his place at the Pickering Town Centre where he can hear Christmas wishes personally. The parade begins at Vaughan Wil- lard Public School, 1911 Dixie Rd., at 10 a.m. It then proceeds east on Glenanna Road to the Pickering Town Centre. Parts of Dixie and Glenanna Roads are to be closed for the event, begin- ning at 8 a.m. All roadways will re- open at 1 p.m. Make sure to get there early to get a good spot.

Ontario Municipal Board asked to decide fate of residential development By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — The Bay Ridges Plaza redevelopment plan is being appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board by a local residents’ association and the de- veloper. The Pickering East Shore Communi- ty Association (PESCA) filed an appeal on Nov. 6 with the OMB and S.R. & R. Development Group Ltd. followed suit on Nov. 7. Pickering approved the develop- ment plan at the Oct. 3 council meet- ing. It includes two condo towers – one 18-storey and one 16-storey – and 126 townhouses for the site at Bayly Street and St. Martins Drive, as well as 25,500 square feet of commercial retail space. Parties had until Nov. 7 to file an ap- peal. “We gave it a lot of consideration. Contrary to what the developers and our city councillors say, that there have been changes in respect to concerns from the community, there hasn’t been,” said Susan Carlevaris, PESCA president. The decision to file the appeal was voted on unanimously by the PESCA board. Steven Warsh of S.R. & R. said they were happy with the ways things had turned out, until PESCA filed its ap- peal. “There are a number of issues we weren’t entirely thrilled with, but that we were willing to live with,” he said. “If PESCA hadn’t appealed we would have been content to live with the plan as is.” The project had been a contentious one, attracting upwards of 150 resi- dents at some of the meetings where the plan was discussed. There were concerns about building height, the density of the development, the re- moval of commercial space, and traffic congestion. Some residents did speak in favour of the redevelopment of the plaza, which some called an eyesore in its current state. While she said the redevelopment plan meets the maximum density laid out in the Pickering Official Plan for the Bay Ridges area, Ms. Carlevaris said they feel there are grounds for an appeal. “We don’t feel it meets some of the important principles of the City’s Of- ficial Plan and the Places to Grow Act,” she said. Brenner says goodbye after 21 years as a councillor By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — The residents of Ward 1 chose change. After 21 years in elected office, Pick- ering’s longest-serving representative, Wa rd 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner, was defeated by community activist Bonnie Littley. Councillor-elect Littley won by more than 1,300 votes. She had the lead after the advance poll results were posted and it just kept growing as the final numbers came in. “I’m surprised. I’m delighted,” she said. “I really got the feeling at the door that people wanted change.” Surrounded by her family, friends and supporters, Ms. Littley arrived at City Hall early to watch the results roll in. Despite a commanding lead early on, her supporters appeared to keep their glee in check until the final num- bers were posted. She made a bid for the Ward 3 City seat in 2003, but lost to incumbent Coun. David Pickles. This year, she ran on a campaign of preserving the Greenbelt, protecting the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Pre- serve and reform- ing campaign fi- nancing. She ran as a “developer- free” candidate, refusing dona- tions from the development industry that are common in local politics. Coun. Brenner didn’t make any pub- lic appearances Monday night. When reached on his cell phone just before 10 p.m. he said he was out picking up his signs. “The people have spoken,” he said. “I have to respect what the people have said.” As he spoke about a part of his life being “cut out” by the loss, he sounded upset and said he was disappointed, but congratulated Ms. Littley on her victory. “I’m also very fortunate and privi- leged that I was able to serve for two decades in the City of Pickering,” Coun. Brenner said. His campaign was mired by fraud charges that were brought against him in May. He is alleged to have submit- ted false documents for reimburse- ment claims and clerical services for more than $5,400 between 1999 and 2000. He faces two counts each of fraud under $5,000 and utter forged document, and breach of trust by a public officer. His next court appear- ance is Nov. 29. Also in Ward 1, City Councillor Kevin Ashe narrowly missed being re- elected for a second term. Newcomer Jennifer O’Connell was behind early in the night, but took the lead halfway through the count and hung on to win the seat by 163 votes. “I’m extremely excited,” said Coun- cillor-elect O’Connell. “I’m still taking it all in...It was a lot of work, I’m happy it’s over.” She waited to appear at City Hall until the final results were in. She had been waiting at home while her scruti- neers phoned her with the poll by poll PICKERING 2006 ELECTION RESULTS Mayor John Newell 5,108 Dave Ryan 12,588 Councillor Ward 1 Ke vin Ashe 2,732 Jennifer O’Connell 2,895 Paul White 752 Councillor Ward 2 Doug Dickerson 2,547 Brian Evely 799 Eileen Higdon 1,471 Dan Myall 93 Councillor Ward 3 Lisa DePass 2,224 David Pickles 3,926 Regional Councillor Ward 1 Maurice Brenner 2,594 Bonnie Littley 3,907 Regional Councillor Ward 2 Jurgen Degen 1,185 Bill McLean 3,429 Regional Councillor Ward 3 Steven Gardner 482 Rick Johnson 3,278 Ke vin Modeste 2,679 Durham District School Board Chris Braney 4,905 Paul Crawford 4,306 Sherry Croteau 6,738 Craig Fairclough 1,400 Paul Pryce 2,386 Carlton Wright 1,036 Durham Catholic School Board Paul Bannister 1,652 Gerry Downes 1,389 Jim McCafferty 2,521 For more on this story New faces for Pickering ✦ Vo t er turnout a disappointing 28 per cent.

Durham resident gets lucky at poker tour , comes home rich man Survives first-round scare and produces pair of deuces in marathon round, good enough for more than $1 million By Izabela Jaroszynski Staff Writer DURHAM — Soren Turkewitsch drove to Niag- ara Falls an amateur poker player, but he returned to Oshawa a millionaire. The 27-year old is still basking in the incredible glory of his recent win at the North America Poker To ur where he beat out five opponents in the final round to capture the championship title and $1.35 million in prize money. “I just can’t believe it,” Mr. Turkewitsch said. “I think the shock is only just beginning to wear off.” Although he is a regular recreational player, the long-time Oshawa resident had never played a major poker tournament and held no expecta- tions when he entered the competition at the Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls. “My strategy was just to make it through the first day,” he said. After almost being knocked out in the first round of the tournament, Mr. Turkewitsch man- aged to regain his composure and made it into the final marathon round. A pair of twos about five hours into the game was all he needed to clinch his win. “It didn’t seem real,” he said. “It still doesn’t seem real. I wasn’t prepared for what would hap- pen after the win.” With about 50 of his closest friends and family gathered at the casino for support, he barely re- members making it through the excitement of the night. Since his unexpected victory, Mr. Turkewitsch has been laying low and adjusting to the idea of being a millionaire. When asked what the biggest change has been, he just laughs. “I think I have more friends now,” he says. He doesn’t yet have any plans for the money, but knows one thing for certain: he won’t be re- turning to the job he held at a local automotive feeder plant. “I will get a job eventually, but I don’t know yet what I want to do. I haven’t figured all that out yet,” he said. He has currently invested all his winnings, but says the first big purchase will be a house with Mi- chelle Markov, his girlfriend of six years. The pair is currently renting space in her parent’s basement. Mr. Turkewitsch, who taught himself how to play poker at the Great Blue Heron Casino in Port Perry, says he doesn’t think he wants to continue playing in major tournaments. But his advice for other would-be poker champs? “Go for it. If you think you can do it, you prob- ably can,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if you are an amateur. Everyone has a shot at the money.” For more on this story School board says vehicle safety always being improved By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — No motorized seatbelts or air bags for school buses are likely in the near future, speculates Durham District School Board superintendent Mark Joel. The Canadian Safety Council says new technology for school buses needs to be explored, following the release of a U.S. report on non-fatal school bus injuries. The report, released by the Columbus Children’s Research Insti- tute, says 42 per cent of school bus injuries were caused by collisions and 24 per cent as youth were getting on or off the bus. “If we want more passenger safety on school buses, we need to explore the use of new technologies, such as air bags, to improve the safety of chil- dren in these types of vehicles,” said Raynald Marchand, manager of traffic safety for the Canada Safety Council, in a press release. “We must also en- sure that children from all age groups know how to be safe when they are getting on or off a school bus and that they refrain from engaging in horse- play near idling vehicles.” Mr. Marchand added the school bus remains one of the safest ways for stu- dents to get to school. In response to the Canada Safety Council comments, Mr. Joel said Dur- ham has an excellent safety record. In its public and Catholic boards, 28,000 students ride the bus every day and he doesn’t recall there being a serious injury. Mr. Joel added any technology to improve school bus safety would be appreciated. “Many people talk about seatbelts,” said Mr. Joel, superintendent of opera- tions and transportation. The problem with seatbelts is if the bus flips, there may only be seconds to get off and it would take too long for the driver to cut the belts of 70 seats, said Mr. Joel. “I haven’t seen anything new that’s coming forward like air bags or motor- ized seatbelts (such as those on roller coasters),” Mr. Joel said. Although school buses have kept their shape, their safety is always im- proving. A flashing stop light and bar have been added for when students get off the bus and routes are planned to avoid making students cross the street, as often as possible. The seats, built to contain students, have had their metal removed and are built to absorb impact, which helps for minor bumps and abrupt stops, he said. “Bus safety is an evolving process,” said Mr. Joel. He added the board also works with drivers to educate them on safety techniques and managing distractions. “The more we can have drivers con- centrate on the road and not on the students, the safer the students will be,” said Mr. Joel. $39.99 Proud Sponsor FIND Y O U R HOLIDAY STYLE Over 200 stores and services pickeringtowncentre.com You will automatically receive a $20 Pickering Town Centre Gift Card when you purchase this Passport To Savings.

The mobile learning program at the shared campus of Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology recently took home sil- ver from the Canadian Information Productivity Awards (CIPA), organiza- tional transformation category. The awards recognize Canadian excellence in information technol- ogy initiatives that improve productiv- ity and efficiency in the global land- scape. “This national recognition con- firms the importance of being leading edge in the delivery of post-secondary education,” said Gerry Pinkney, vice- president of Information Technology, Durham College and UOIT. “The Silver Award of Excellence is directly attributed to our faculty members’ commitment to using our technology to deliver our courses... Our mobile learning program ensures equal opportunity for our students to access faculty and course materials, giving them every reason to succeed,” he added. Through the program, students can connect with professors and peers anytime, using laptops loaded with program-specific software, which also enable them to conduct research, make presentations, and access course material. UOIT is Ontario’s only laptop-based university and one of the few academic institutions in Canada that bases program delivery on technology standards, requiring all students to participate in mobile learning. At Durham College, almost one third of academic programs are part of the program. College, UOIT honoured for mobile learning program NEWS A DVERTISER 905-683-5110 By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — Voters in three of the Region’s eight municipalities sent a strong message they want a direct election of the Regional chairper- son. The residents in Ajax, Pickering and Oshawa who went out to vote Monday answered an overwhelming ‘yes’ to a referendum question asking if they felt the Province should make a regulation requiring that the Durham chairper- son be elected by general vote. More than 86 per cent of the voters in the three municipali- ties voted in favour. The referendum question is not binding and the Region would have to petition the Province to make direct election happen. “It is up to Regional council,” Chairman Roger Anderson said. “There has to be debate; there are pros and cons on both sides.” The matter will be brought back to Regional council early in the new term, Ajax Mayor Steve Par ish said. “Councillors from those three municipalities can’t go to Regional council and vote any other way,” Mayor Parish said. “I think in 2010 we’ll have a direct election for the Regional chair- man.” The debate has been going on since 1997 and was last before Regional council in Feb- ruary, when a motion to take the question to the electorate across the Region was narrowly defeated in a 14-13 vote, with one councillor absent. In October a report, forwarded to Regional council members by a committee mandated to examine the role of the chairperson, stated while it was not the committee’s purpose to put forward a position on whether a chair(person) should be elected at large, or be elected by council, as is currently the practice, it was generally felt that the present system serves the community well. “Council currently has the power to elect the person with the skill set and behavioural characteristics that members perceive as ap- propriate,” it reads. Currently, any Durham resident over the age of 18 who is a Canadian citizen can put their name into the running and Regional council votes in the chairperson. “(The results) tell me the people of Oshawa feel the Regional chair should be elected,” Os- hawa Mayor John Gray said. “As far as I am concerned every elected of- ficial from Oshawa, Ajax and Pickering have an obligation to bring the issue forward to the Region.” He said the request should come from the Region but, barring that, it could come from the three municipalities. “We will make this change willingly through the Region or individual efforts from the mu- nicipalities,” Mayor Gray said.

Vo te rs say yes to elected chairperson poll results. Upon her arrival she was greeted with hugs and congratulations. She seemed surprised, but excited. “It was definitely a very exciting first election for me,” Coun.-elect O’Connell said. Coun. Kevin Ashe was visible at City Hall as the results were posted, but left before the final numbers came in. “I was obviously disappointed with the results,” he said Tuesday morning. “I think there was a mood for change (that I got caught in).” He said it was still early for him to think about his next move, but there had been talk of him running provin- cially in 2007. For now he said he’ll continue his community work. He pre- viously served as a school trustee and on the police services board. Wa rd 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean, who was easily elected with nearly 75 per cent of the vote, said he felt bad to see his colleagues lose. “Maurice is an encyclopedia of in- formation. If there’s a process or some- thing is needed...I’m going to miss him,” he said. “He certainly does add a touch to council, his experience and his knowledge.” Coun. Brenner said he has many positive memories from his time on council. “Each and every time I look at a part of Pickering I can see a piece of change I was a part of,” he said, citing the waterfront and the yet to be devel- oped Seaton. Mayor Dave Ryan, Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson, Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles, and Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson were all re-elected. PESCA felt it had to take this step to keep fighting. “We still think we have an opportu- nity to build something that completes our community,” Ms. Carlevaris said. “You can’t turn back a development. Once it’s there, it’s there.” Mr. Warsh said they’ve already made concessions in their plan based on comments from public meetings and meetings with the City. “We listened very carefully to the mayor, councillors and planning staff,” he said. He wouldn’t say what points were being appealed, but in the Oct. 3 staff report it was advised the applicant didn’t agree with the recommended parking ratio for the commercial floor space and the requirement to build commercial floor space in the first phase of construction, among other comments. The number of units ap- proved (347 condos, 126 townhouses) was also less than the original appli- cation that asked for 161 townhouses and 411 condo units. Mr. Warsh isn’t concerned the plan will change dramatically because of the OMB appeals and said they are moving forward with the project. Meanwhile PESCA is committed to its fight. “We’ve done an incredible amount of research,” Ms. Carlevaris said. “We realize this could be a very long ap- peal.” She said PESCA believes it is doing what residents want it to do. “If we didn’t believe the community felt that strongly, we wouldn’t have filed the appeal,” she said. Wa rd 1 sees changes, incumbents return in other seats By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — While Ward 1 voters opted for change, other parts of the city saw residents re-elect their repre- sentatives. Mayor Dave Ryan easily won a sec- ond term with more than 70 per cent of the vote. His sole challenger, John Newell, received 5,108 votes to Mayor Ryan’s 12,588. Mayor Ryan appeared at City Hall while results were still being tabulated. We aring a red rose on his suit lapel, he greeted well wishers with smiles and hand shakes. “I’m quite elated. It’s a good result,” he said. “I’m looking forward to the next four years.” Mayor Ryan previously served one term as mayor and three as Ward 1 city councillor. He said he is looking forward to continuing the agenda he and council started three years ago, including attracting more business de- velopment to Pickering and making sure the infrastructure is in place in Seaton before any residential develop- ment takes place. Mr. Newell was at City Hall Monday night for much of the evening as re- sults came in. He was concerned with the awareness leading up the election and that just 28 per cent of voters cast a ballot. “What that tells you is that there were a huge number of people who didn’t think it was worthwhile to vote,” he said. After running a campaign focused on the environment and against de- veloper influence in local politics, Mr. Newell was disappointed to see so many incumbents get re-elected. “From my perspective and from the research I’ve done, the big los- ers are the seniors of Pickering,” he said. “They’re being taxed out of their homes.” He believes no more homes should be built in Pickering until more busi- ness is attracted to lower the tax bur- den on residents. He is concerned with the financial and environmental impli- cations the Seaton development will have for residents. Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles received a strong show of support with 64 per cent of the vote, while first-time candidate Lisa DePass finished with 36 per cent. “I’m very pleased to be back,” Coun. Pickles said. “I thought Lisa conducted herself very well.” This is his fourth win; he was first elected in 1997. Wa rd 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson becomes the longest-serving member of Pickering council following Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner’s loss to Bonnie Littley. Coun. Johnson has served on council for 18 years. “I feel great, elated,” he said Monday night at City Hall. “I’m excited about it. I think democracy works.” He received 51 per cent of the vote, with his closest challenger Kevin Modeste receiving 41.6 per cent and Steven Gardner 7.5 per cent. Coun. Johnson is looking forward to working with the new council and continuing projects he started years ago, such as recycling. Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dick- erson captured almost 52 per cent of the vote in a four-person race for the seat. Of the ballots cast he received 2,547, followed by Eileen Higdon with 1,471, Brian Evely with 799, and Dan Myall with 93. Ward 1 City Councillor Kevin Ashe narrowly lost to newcomer Jennifer O’Connell.

Yo u can learn an awful lot about people in a doughnut shop. You can almost break so- ciety down into pastry catego- ries; that guy’s a fritter, crusty on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside. The lady with the variety pack is indecisive as hell and the dude with the Hawaiian sprinkle definitely swings both ways. It’s a fairly accurate system. Of course, I was sitting there with a bran muffin in front of me. What does that tell you? But I also took note of some- thing else. Like clockwork, I watched senior after senior walk in sporting a poppy on a lapel, shirt-front or windbreak- er and just as predictably, I watched young person after young person walk in, spon- soring nothing more important than Nike, GAP or Metallica. I find this sad and not a little alarming. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not Mr. Mooney or Archie Bunker. I was young once too and I understand and appreci- ate that a large part of the beau- ty and magic of young people is their delightful obliviousness. They are so firmly wrapped up in today, that they’re hardly cognizant of yesterday and not thinking much of tomorrow. It’s what makes them such in- teresting and unpredictable entities. This is wonderful and natural and I really wouldn’t want to change a hair of it. However, as parents, as adults, as people who have come to understand that this world we walk through is a liv- ing, breathing product of all that has gone on before us, good and bad, doesn’t it be- hoove us to occasionally nudge our progeny towards some form of social conscience? Perhaps, at least, for this one week out of 52? Wouldn’t it be nice, for instance, if at this time of the year, as we hugged and kissed our children out the door in the morning, that along with their lunch and their backpack and their toque, we also made sure they had their poppy? It’s a very little thing. A tiny thing really, but one that lit- erally makes a world of dif- ference. I’ve no real proof but I’d bet my bran muffin that Dutch children wear poppies and Belgian children, French children and German children. Anybody who has had war in their backyard and shells dropped in their playgrounds understands why that poppy is at least as important as a toque or a backpack or even, dare I say it, one of a million multi- colored rubber wristbands. “Lest we forget” are much more than three poetic words trotted out every November 11. They are a warning. Dire counsel shouted soundlessly from the bleeding, pale-lipped mouths of millions of war dead. And what we do forget, more often than not, is whom those war dead are speaking for. Not themselves, surely. No. They are speaking for our children, for the future. For if we should forget, if we lose tangible, tac- tile memory with the sacrifices of the past, we do so at our children’s peril, for it is they, not us, who will fight the next war. So if you love them, stick a poppy on them. Lest we forget. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Follow Neil’s BLOG drinfo.ca/croneblog.html.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Local vet welcomes ‘unexpected treatment’ To the editor: In our condominium build- ing I have two friends, Gord MacRae and Norm Moore who, like myself, served in Italy and Holland in the Second World War. It has become our habit to go together to the remem- brance ceremonies every year. This year in Pickering, there seemed to be a different at- mosphere and mood prevail- ing among the crowd, which appeared to be larger than in previous years. As we walked (I use a walk- er), with our service medals on our coats, along the central cobble-stoned pathway leading to the cenotaph, loud cheer- ing and clapping erupted from the people grouped along each side of the walkway. Across from the cenotaph is a central court area, between the public library and city hall, where another throng of people was gathered, including digni- taries such as the mayor, our local member of parliament and others. It was good to see many young people and children tak- ing an active part in the tradi- tional observances. It should be noted that even small children were wearing a red poppy. After the ceremonies were over we walked back on the pathway. Men, women and children enthusiastically greet- ed us again, shaking our hands, thanking us for what we did on their behalf. We left the park knowing that we had experi- enced unexpected treatment from our local populace. It was a good feeling and we felt hon- oured and humbled. Perhaps the seemingly changed attitude is because there are not all that many veterans left. I am nearing my 82nd birthday and I consider myself to be one of the younger veterans. I joined the army in 1942 when I was 17 years old. Also, the fact that we have com- bat troops in Afghanistan may have something to do with this perceived new attitude. We must not forget our Ko- rean War veterans and Peace- keepers. Robert G. Sawdon Pickering Teens respect vets To the editor: How about instead of knock- ing our teenagers (who will not be named) we compliment a few. Recently I was on poppy duty in the Baywood Plaza when seven or eight teenagers passed by, obviously going for lunch. Every one of them placed something in the donation box without taking a poppy. One even said to me, “thank you for being a veteran.” These young people did without something extra for their lunch to donate to our veterans. Thank you young people, we all appreciate your generosity. David Aspden Ajax Manners need to be stressed To the editor: I want to express a resolute BRAV O to Ms. Hatfield re. her column of Nov. 12. In it she reminds us that we are letting both the importance of, and the actions of, manners slip into the abyss. I applaud you, Ms. Hatfield, and I echo your comments as I also see the inconsider- ate, rude and crude acts of the thoughtless individuals in our region. I hope that we, as a com- munity, can put a little extra effort into raising our children with an increased emphasis on manners and respect; and as such, I am sure we will see many improvements, includ- ing a decrease in crime.

Election turnout once again disappointing Twenty-eight per cent of voters participate The winds were light in Pickering Monday night, but they still brought some change. True, Pickering residents re-elected Mayor Dave Ryan to a second term, although some might have been surprised to see chal- lenger John Newell garner more than 5,000 votes. And, several other incumbents, namely City councillors Doug Dickerson and David Pickles, and regional councillors Bill McLean and Rick Johnson, were returned. At the Durham District School Board, Sherry Croteau was re-elected while long-time trustee Paul Crawford fell to newcomer Chris Braney. Durham Catholic District School Board electors re- turned veteran Trustee Jim McCafferty, while Gerry Downes narrowly lost to incumbent Trustee Paul Bannister. But, the election night story was the defeat of long-time Ward 1 regional councillor Maurice Brenner, ousted in rather convincing fashion by Bonnie Littley. A 21-year council veteran who made a large contribution to Pickering during his tenure, it appears voters weren’t willing to take a wait-and-see approach in terms of the fraud charges Mr. Brenner is facing. A frequent council watchdog on environmental issues, in particular the green belt and agricultural preserve, Ms. Lit- tley must now learn to work inside the system as part of the council team. Incumbent Kevin Ashe, seeking a second term in the Ward 1 City spot, was also ousted in a close race by newcomer Jennifer O’Connell. The youngest council member at age 24, her job is to become a sponge, absorbing as much as she can in a short time, including the ins and outs of council procedure. A disappointing turnout of 28 per cent of the electorate was slightly lower than the 28.65 recorded here in 2003. This is especially disheart- ening given all the attention leading up to election night about poor municipal voter turnout. And, a number of credible alternatives gave voters real choices in most of the races, adding a little spice to the cam- paign. Still, and the reason continues to baffle us, the vast majority of Pickering electors chose to stay home. Kudos to all the candidates who stood for election, in particular first-time contenders who had the courage to put their names on the ballot and were seeking to serve our community. You will have anoth- er chance to run in four years and we hope you use the time to learn more about Pickering and pitch in to make the City a better one. Once again, it’s time to get down to work and address some of the key issues facing Pickering. In that respect, little has changed. The airport, Seaton and the fate of the agricultural preserve clearly stand out, with the potential to dramatically affect the quality of life of those who call Pickering home. The mayor and council must continue to ensure that Seaton becomes what it has been promoted as, a model community. But, more than that, Seaton has to be a good fit for the City. Its roads and other services must be well-designed to handle the increased loading of people and vehicles. Councillors have to provide strong voices to ensure this takes place, and cry foul if it doesn’t. Otherwise, Pickering councillors need to work on attracting more business development to the City to relieve some of the tax burden. In four years, you’ll have a chance to have your say on how they’ve handled these and other issues. Make sure you take advantage of it.

Dolphins attain pigskin perfection Ajax-Pickering atoms down Oshawa for COMFL crown By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering Dol- phins atom football team left no doubt it was the best team in the Central Ontario Minor Football League this season. Entering the atom division ‘AAA’ championship game at Scarborough’s Birchmount Stadium on Sunday, the Dolphins had amassed an undefeated 11-0 record and were determined to leave it all on the field in pursuit of pigskin perfection. And, per- fection would certainly be an apt de- scriptor of the final, where the Dolphins left the field with a cham- pionship after an emphatic 62-12 vic- tory over the Oshawa Hawkeyes, which capped a dream season of football for the squad of 11- to 13-year-olds. The Dolphins atoms’ victory wasn’t the only win secured by the Ajax- Pickering minor football organization at the COMFL championships in Scarbor- ough. The Dolphins peewees secured a close 8-3 victory over the Burlington Stampeders for a second Ajax-Pickering Dolphins title of the afternoon. Right from the opening kickoff of the atom final, the Dolphins dominated the Hawkeyes on the field. On the defensive side of the ball, the Dolphins almost completely curtailed any offensive in- cursions into the Ajax-Pickering zone, allowing only two meaningful Oshawa first downs, with the exception of two touchdowns scored late in the game with the outcome all but decided. On offence, the Dolphins ground game, keyed by fleet-footed running back Shaq Lawrence, yielded 200-plus yards of rushing against an overwhelmed Oshawa defence. The Dolphins led 22-0 at the end of the first quarter and in- creased their margin to 28-0 at half time. The onslaught continued unabated in the second half, although the Dolphins allowed all their players to figure into the contest en route to victory. “I couldn’t be happier with the per- formance today,” says Dolphins atoms head coach Dan McIlravey. “They defi- nitely came to play. This was definitely the best game they’ve played. It was just an unbelievable season, so much fun for everybody -- the coaches, the parents, the players. It was a fantastic season.” Hawkeyes’ head coach Chris Bruce notes his squad was unable to get un- track against the relentless Dolphins, as mistakes proved costly. “We played a sloppy game. It hap- pens, but unfortunately it happened in a championship game,” says Bruce, whose Hawkeyes advanced to the COMFL final after a 31-16 victory over the Burlington Stampeders in the semifinal contest. Bruce, however, was more concerned after the contest with the health of Shane Hickey, suffering with a back in- jury after being hit behind the play. He lay motionless on the field for about 20 minutes before Toronto EMS arrived on the scene. Hickey later moved to the ambulance under his own power. Bruce tipped his hat to his opponents, noting his kids would need to play a perfect game, and then some, to beat an Ajax-Pickering squad no one had been able to beat before. “They’re an unbelievable team. They’re a great team. We needed a per- fect game to beat them and we weren’t. Even if we had of played a perfect game, it would have been very difficult to beat them,” says Bruce. Lawrence, the Dolphins’ offensive most valuable player, was the offensive catalyst through the crucial first quarter, carrying the ball 21 yards before being forced out of bounds at the right corner of the end zone. Quarterback Michael Stobbart shot through from the one- yard line for the opening touchdown. Lawrence went on to produce the next two touchdowns of the quarter, scoring from nine and 18 yards, respectively, after terrific work from the Dolphins’ defence to pin the Hawkeyes deep in their own zone. In the second quarter, Keldyn Ahlst- edt scored on a one-yard plunge for the lone touchdown for a 28-0 Dolphins’ half-time lead. Kicker Taylor Eskins was 2-for-4 on convert attempts in the half. Stobbart scored his second major of the game from about 10 yards out for a 36-0 lead. This was followed by an- other Ajax-Pickering Dolphins’ major, this time by Denver Wright from about 20-yards out. Eskins nailed the convert for a 44-0 lead. Keith Cyrus punched in a 25-yard run for a 50-0 lead at the end of the third quarter. The Dolphins added two more touch- downs in the fourth quarter. The Hawk- eyes scored two touchdowns, both by Travis Akers, in the quarter. In addition to offensive MVP Law- rence, AJ Thomas was named as the Dolphins defensive MVP. For Oshawa, Akers was the offensive MVP and Chris Carey was the defensive MVP.

PA GE B2 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ November 15, 2006P Attack plays spoiler in big win over Panthers But, to listen to Winder, the win came against any other team in the league, not his former Pickering squad, which had relieved him of his head coaching duties just three games into the current campaign. It was one game, one win, nothing more than that. “It’s one game. We’re going to win our share of hockey games this year and that was one of them,” ex- plained Winder outside an es- pecially raucous Attack dressing room follow- ing the game. “We’re not look- ing at that as our big win by any means. Person- ally, it was nice for me but, for the players, it was just another game to win.” Winder notes the game plan was merely to outskate and outwork the high-flying Panthers, who outscored the St. Mike’s Buzzers and the Dur- ham Fury by a wide 17-5 margin in its previous two games heading into Saturday’s third meeting of the sea- son between the Panthers and Attack. And, for the most part, the Attack held the advantage in those two areas of the game. “We’re a fast-skating team and in order to beat Pickering, which has a lot of power up front, you have to outskate and outwork them. Our guys, to a man, worked hard and fully deserved the win.” In addition to their work ethic, the Attack (7-16-0-0 for 14 points, tied for eighth in South Conference stand- ings) also received a standout goal- tending performance from starter Eric See, who faced more than 40 shots in recording the victory. Many of those shots were of the tough vari- ety, including two point-blank saves on Pickering forward Greg Riggs, in- cluding one on a clear-cut break- away. See’s huge contribution between the pipes didn’t go unnoticed by Winder. “He made the saves he needed to make when called upon. He made a game-breaking save on Riggs that was outstanding,” says Winder. The Panthers (14-8-2-0 for 30 points, third in South Conference), coming off a 7-2 win over the Fury less than 24 hours before lacing them up against the Attack, were particularly listless for Saturday’s matchup. More- over, the Panthers put in an atypically undisciplined performance, includ- ing a rare five-minute interference major assessed to defenceman Kevin Huinink. In the third period, Pickering head coach Pat Curcio was tossed on a bench misconduct, followed later by an abuse of officials misconduct to Panthers’ captain Richard Schofield. Curcio didn’t offer up any excuses for his team’s undisciplined play, not- ing that it all starts at the top and his bench demeanour set the tone for his players. “Right from the drop of the puck we took penalties and, even if they’re questionable calls, it’s our responsi- bility to focus and keep our compo- sure.” Curcio noted he lost his composure after arguing with officials that the third Ajax goal had gone in with the help of a high stick, but says his mood filtered quickly down to the players. “It’s obvious the outcome when you see the leader lose his composure. The rest of the players just follow.” Winder countered he recognized that the goal in question, scored on the power play by Paul Chiasson, off a point shot by Nick LeBouthillier, was re-directed past Pickering goalten- der Connor Sampson. But, he says it didn’t come off a high stick. The Attack couldn’t keep their mo- mentum going following the win over Pickering, suffering a 5-1 loss to the Orangeville Crushers at the commu- nity centre on Sunday afternoon. Or- angeville seized control of the game from the outset, piling up a 5-0 lead after two periods. Jordan So scored the lone Ajax goal in the third period. Meanwhile, the Panthers dropped their second straight on the weekend, losing a 4-2 decision to the confer- ence-leading St. Michael’s Buzzers in Toronto Sunday night. The Buzz- ers took it to the Panthers in the early going, leading 3-0 after the first period. Zack Fenwick scored in the second and Schofield scored midway through the third to cut the deficit to a goal, but Andrew Rygiel ended hopes of a Pickering comeback with an in- surance marker at the 12:15 mark. The St. Mike’s game represented the first loss for goaltender Brad Fogal since joining the Panthers via a trade with the Newmarket Hurricanes in mid-October. Fogal was excused for Friday and Saturday’s game to attend a college visit in Oswego, New York. ✦ Attack, from Page B1 Pat Curcio Panthers’ Postscript The Panthers held a special Remem- brance Day ceremony prior to Friday night’s game at the complex against the Durham Fury.

What I didn’t know was how committed we were to the environment. In the last thirty years I have been part of a team that has helped create and care for wetlands, woodlands, green spaces and nature trails across the province.

One Trojan in particular, Juevol Myles, was in the zone -- and in the end zone -- scoring two touchdowns and adding an interception for good measure to key a 21-0 victory in the Lake Ontario Secondary School Ath- letics (LOSSA) senior football semi- final game played in muddy field conditions at the Ajax school. The Trojans defend their LOSSA crown against the upstart Donald A. Wilson Secondary School Gators of Whitby, which upended the favoured Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School Saints 28-16 in the other semifinal game played in Oshawa Tuesday. The LOSSA final is slated for the Oshawa Civic Stadium on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. Myles hauled in a 15-yard pass from quarterback James McIntosh in the left corner of the end zone early in the second quarter for the only scoring play of the half. With six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the fleet-footed re- ceiver found himself alone in the end zone again, with McIntosh hitting him for an 11-yard major to effective- ly put the game out of Dunbarton’s reach. Myles noted he was surprised to find himself so wide open for the touchdown passes, but downplayed his two-touchdown contribution. “I just go out and play -- just play,” says Myles, who transferred from We st Hill Collegiate to Pickering High this year. Myles, a two-sport star who’s also on the Canadian national junior men’s basketball team, returned to football this year after several years away from the sport. He’s excited for the opportunity to play for a Durham Region champion- ship. “The team looks pretty confident right now, so we’re ready for LOSSA,” says Myles. “I have a great feeling about Saturday.” After losing their lone game of the regular season to the Spartans, a 5-0 decision, the Trojans were more than prepared to make amends when it counted the most. Mostly, the Ajax football powerhouse did it with its traditional stout defensive play prov- ing too much for the Spartans to overcome. Dunbarton managed only one first down in the contest. Trojans’ head coach John Martini concurred it was the defence that was chiefly responsible for the vic- tory. “They were outstanding today. Our defence probably played their best game of the year. We probably al- lowed one first down the whole game against a formidable offence. We did well, we did really well.” Martini, however, expressed some concern about his team’s offence, which was whistled for a number of penalties. “We have to clean up the penal- ties. If it wasn’t for the penalties, we would have scored a few more touch- downs. The penalties brought back some big plays that we had. If we can clean up our offensive line, we’ll do fine,” said Martini. Spartans’ coach Jeff Maharaj tipped his hat to the work of the Trojans’ defence, too, noting Dunbarton was unable to sustain any kind of a drive. “Their defence was the difference, I think,” said Maharaj. “We were never able to get a serious drive together. We were never able to sustain any- thing.” In addition to Myles’ two touch- downs, Gharone McLean also hauled in a touchdown pass from McIntosh with about a minute left in the con- test. Kicker Jordan McLaughlin con- nected on all three convert attempts.

The Dolphins and their arch-rivals, the Burlington Stampeders, battled for every inch of ground throughout the Central Ontario Minor Football League ‘AAA’ peewee championship at Scarborough’s Birchmount Stadium on Sunday afternoon. In the end, the Dolphins pulled out a narrow 8-3 vic- tory to bring the title back to Durham Region. Both teams ended the regular sea- son with a 10-1 record, with each team posting a loss to the other; how- ever Burlington placed first overall due to points differential. Throughout the entire first half, neither team could gain an advantage over the other. Burlington’s ‘power’ offence was smothered by the strong Dolphins’ defence, and the Dolphins’ offence was met by an equally de- termined foe. Scoring opportunities were few and far between as a battle for field position developed. After the half, Burlington scored first with a field goal, forcing the Dol- phins to come from behind for the second week in a row. The Dolphins’ defence held strong on a fourth-down attempt by Burlington, allowing the offence to take the field and put a drive together capped by a pass-and- run touchdown. The conversion was successful, giving the Dolphins a five- point lead. Burlington gathered its forces and made every attempt to score, but as the saying goes, ‘defence wins cham- pionships’ and the Dolphins’ defence rose to the challenge, forcing Burling- ton to turn the ball over on downs with a minute left. With the championship on the line, the Dolphins’ offence took to the field, knowing they needed only one first down to kill the clock, and they succeeded in doing just that with a solid run up the centre, giving the Dolphins the COMFL championship. Shane Lock, on defence, and Delino Smith, on offence, were the Dolphins’ most valuable players of the game, as chosen by independent observers.

DURHAM — The Durham Attack 16U Red Hawks won the silver medal at a 17U tournament in Trenton. The Hawks defeated the 16U Kingston Pegasus (19-25, 25-13, 15-6) and the Ottawa Kangaroos (18-25, 25-18, 15-12) in the round robin. In the medal round, Durham defeated the Renfrew Knights (25-15, 25-11) and, in the semifinal against DRVC, the Hawks won (25-18, 25-15). In the final, the Northumberland Breakers were too much, as the Hawks lost a tight match (19-25, 25-19, 13-15). Andrea Titus was strong defensively, digging up ball after ball in the back court. Danielle Smithen contributed a big service ace. Elissa Whittington and Iva Pantic played great in the middle, making smart plays offensively and great net play. Stephanie Harper and Alex McLeod made smart decisions running the offence. Harper finished the day with 38 assists, while McLeod had 34 and was a per- fect 20 for 20 serving. Vanessa Peprah-Addo contributed with rocket serving and timely kills. Ursula Toaze played great in the middle with 18 kills and some big blocks. Erin Campbell was the Red Hawks’ leader, playing all three front court positions, and contributing 20 kills. Erin Spraggs made smart defensive plays, had seven kills, and was a perfect 19 for 19 on service. Ta ylor Cumming played great both offensively and de- fensively, digging up 14 balls as well as having 15 kills and serving five Aces. Kellie Downing was on top of her game in the tourna- ment with 10 aces and 27 kills. At tack wins silver in Trenton NEWS ADVERTISER 905-683-5110 PA GE B6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ November 15, 2006A/P ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT durhamregion.com Rose blooms into world champion Highland dancer Student of Ajax studio still undecided if she’ll defend her crown By Al Rivett Staff Editor AJAX — If ending her 22-year highland dancing career as a world champion this past summer is indeed her swan song, Erin Rose is more than OK with that. The 25-year-old, who’s trained with the Ajax- based Wallace-Symington Highland Dancers since age three, is still basking in the glow of those two days in August when she competed at the Kowal Highland Gathering in Dunoon, Scotland, which includes the World Highland Dancing Champion- ships. There, she accomplished the huge feat of win- ning a world championship in the adult category, beating out 20 others from across the world to win the coveted crown. Rose is in no hurry, however, to make up her mind whether she’ll defend her world title in 2007, or pass the torch to the next generation of high- land dancers. “I have nothing to prove. I’m very satisfied. I’m definitely not ready to retire. I’m pretty sure that competitive nature is still inside me. We’ll see.” In fact, she wrestled with her decision to com- pete at the 2006 championships, not moving de- finitively in that direction until May of this year, owing to a heavy workload associated with at- tending the University of Toronto, where she’s currently working on her PhD in pharmacology. Ultimately, the desire to compete again became too great and she returned to day-to-day training at the Ajax studio last spring after a two-year hia- tus from dancing to devote to university. “I still had the urge to compete. I don’t think that ever dies. I still wanted to compete, but my schooling played a big part (in my decision),” she explains. Her 2006 victory was a long time coming for the Scarborough resident. Prior to her two years away from dancing, she had represented Canada for eight consecutive years at the world cham- pionships. During her last two years at worlds, she placed second in the adult division behind six-time world champion Colleen Rintamaki of Pickering, who retired from competitive dancing after winning the 2005 world crown. “I had been doing it for so long that things got stale, so I needed to take some time off.” This time at the worlds, however, was mark- edly different, she notes, and in an entirely good way. Instead of being tense as she had at previous worlds, she was relaxed and felt comfortable on the enormous stage at Kowal overlooking thou- sands in the stands for the event. “In previous years I would feel nervous and sick to my stomach. This time, I was smiling and happy to be there. I didn’t have any expectations. As soon as I relaxed and let things happen the way they had in practice, that’s when it all came together.” With the weight of expectation lifted, Rose per- formed flawlessly through the first day of qualify- ing, which had 80 in the group vying for only 20 spots available in the final day of competition. On Day 2, in the four dances within Highland Dancing, Rose finished first in the sword dance, second in the reel, third in the Seann Triubhas (pronounced ‘shawn trews’) and fifth in the fling to give her the overall crown in a close competi- tion. Earning a world title, she recalls, was as unreal as it was exhilarating. “I didn’t believe it. It was not something you think’s going to happen, especially at age 25, which is considered older in the dancing world. It’s not something I ever imagine would happen to me. Colleen Rintamaki (the previous year’s cham- pion) was invited back as a guest and she handed the trophy to me. It was a pretty neat feeling, an awesome feeling actually.” Best of all, she remembers, was dancing with the champions of the other age groups at the end of the championships to an appreciative crowd. “They have the three champions do a fling and while we were dancing the whole crowd starts clapping. I knew my feet were going to do what they were supposed to do. I looked out into the crowd and it was the most amazing feeling I’ve ever had in my life. I could pinpoint everyone in the stands that I knew.” She gave much credit for her successful return to Highland Dancing to her coach and mentor Lorraine Symington, who supported her return to competitive dancing this year after two years away. “I’ve been with Lorraine for 22 years and she’s my best friend and dancing teacher. We have such a great relationship,” she says. submitted photo A Highland dancer for most of her young life, Erin Rose, who has trained in Ajax since age three, took the 2006 World Highland Dancing Championship, in the adult category, in Scotland earlier this year. Ho te l plays out as hot house of activity By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer PICKERING — The Herongate Barn Theatre rounds out its fall season with the comedy ‘Bedside Manners’, a play by Derek Benfield. Ann Ward, Herongate co-owner, directed the physical comedy which she said has been delighting audiences. “There is lots of running around, lots of funny physical comedy,” Ms. Wa rd said. “The audience are just laughing, really enjoying themselves from beginning to end. It’s very funny.” The British comedy takes place at a country hotel that lead character Ferris has reluctantly agreed to look after for his sister. “As the guests arrive Ferris be- comes engulfed in a round of dizzy confusions,” Ms. Ward said. Lies, commotion and bewilder- ment ensue as he tries to gain finan- cially while preventing the inevitable meeting of husbands, wives and lov- ers in assorted compromising situa- tions. Ferris’s attempt at keeping two couples apart plays out well on the split stage with two hotel rooms and a lobby Ms. Ward said. The production recently began its stint and is slated to run until Dec. 23. The cast consists of five players, Paul Francies and Margaret St. John-Francies of Pickering, James Creithton and Grant Evans of Stouffville and Marion Reid-Clarke of Courtice. Herongate, set in the Rouge Hill heritage con- servation district, offers patrons a unique dinner theatre experience, according to Ms. Ward. A home- cooked meal is followed by a sing along. Patrons then make their way to the theatre, also located in the century old barn, to watch the play. “It is nice to come out and sit and relax and laugh from beginning to end,” Ms. Ward said. Following the play the audience can mingle with the actors over cof- fee and tea. Tickets for shows on Thursday and Friday and the Sunday matinee are $46.95. Saturday night shows are $49.95. “There have been nice crowds coming out,” Ms. Ward said. “It is probably wise to book early.” For more information or ticket reservations, call 905-472-3085 or visit www.herongate.com.
