Pickering cop’s trial begins in Whitby By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — An expired licence plate on a conspicuous luxury car led to allegations of fraud and pos- session of stolen property against a Durham cop, a jury heard Wednes- day at the beginning of the officer’s trial. Te rrance “Ben” McColm and Jo- selito (Joey) Abad, a Mississauga car dealer, are being tried on charges of possessing cars that were stolen from their owners soon after they’d been purchased several years ago. Mr. McColm, who’s been suspend- ed since Durham police launched an investigation in early 2003, is also charged with defrauding an in- surance company by falsely report- ing his own vehicle and its contents stolen. In an opening address to jurors in Superior Court in Whitby Wednesday afternoon prosecutor Jim Hughes said Mr. McColm, who was recruited from the Peel police force, had been employed as an officer at 19 District in Pickering for just a few months when a fellow cop raised questions about the flashy gold Mercedes Benz E320 he’d been driving to work. The officer checked the car out after noticing the validation tag on the car’s dealer plate had expired and learned it was reported stolen from Durham Region in December of 2001, Mr. Hughes said. An investigation was launched by Durham’s professional standards unit and the car was seized in April 2003, Mr. Hughes said. When an of- ficer gave Mr. McColm a ride to his Port Perry home he found a Toyota Sienna van bearing dealer plates in the driveway; it too had been reported stolen, Mr. Hughes said. The dealer plates were traced to PICKERING SET TO WELCOME SANTA Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Blair Baker, a City of Pickering maintenance worker, and one of Santa’s helpers, puts the finishing details on the City’s Santa Claus Parade Float just in time for the parade Saturday, Nov. 18.

After being de- feated on elec- tion night, Pick- ering’s current longest-serving councillor will take with him years of memo- ries and possibly $52,844 in sever- ance – if he ap- plies for it. “They have up to six months (to apply) upon that person ceasing to be a member of council,” said City Clerk Debi Bent- ley. City Councillors are eli- gible for severance equal to one month of salary for each year served, if they have served more than three consecutive years. As Ward 1 City Council- lor Kevin Ashe lost his seat after one term, just Coun. Brenner is eligible to apply. The current salary for councillors is $27,452 and a per diem of one per cent for a total of $30,197. Since Coun. Brenner served 21 years he would be eligible to apply for a sev- erance package of more than $52,000 just from the City. He can also apply for sev- erance for his 15 years of service at the Regional level. The Re- gional formula is similar: council- lors are eligible for one month of salary for each year of service up to 18. Regional councillors make about $42,000. Coun. Brenner would be eligible for about $50,000 from the Region. Councillors must also apply at the Regional level for the package. As of Wednesday, Coun. Brenner had yet to think about his options. “I don’t think I need to answer that right now,” he said when asked if he would be applying for the sever- ance. In addition to the sev- erance package, Coun. Brenner is also eligible for 100 per cent coverage for health, dental and vision care to age 70 since he has was in office for more than 15 years of consecutive ser- vice.

When police arrived at the Mississauga shop they found a Nissan Pathfinder that had been reported stolen by Mr. McColm in the spring of 2000. Mr. Mc- Colm filed a claim with his insurance company and was paid more than $32,000 for the vehicle and its contents, Mr. Hughes said. The first witness at the trial was Abra- ham Nandar of Mississauga, who bought the gold Mercedes at a Mississauga deal- ership in October of 2001. Two months later it was stolen from a parking lot in Vaughan. “When I purchased the car originally I only had one key,” Mr. Nan- dar testified. He said the key was in his possession when he discovered the Mercedes stolen. When he was ques- tioned about the car by Durham police Mr. McColm produced a factory key for it, Mr. Hughes said. The trial, before a jury and Superior Court Justice David Salmers, continues. School community councils participate in question-and-answer session with education minister By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — School councils got some special attention from the Prov- ince Wednesday night. Minister of Education Kathleen Wynne played special guest to the Dur- ham District School Board’s regional school community council meeting Nov. 15. There, she spoke about her plans for schools and answered audi- ence questions. “I now know the secret of parent involvement,” said Craig Burch, Dur- ham’s director of education, to the crowd of school council members. “We just have to get the minister to come.” Parents packed into the Whitby ed- ucation centre’s board room to hear what the recently-appointed minister had to say. “I want to say first off, how great it is to see a room full of people com- mitted to working in the community,” Minister Wynne said looking at the audience, one hand gripping the side of the podium, the other animated as she spoke. “Depending on the stage we’re at, we’re ready to be involved in differ- ent ways,” she continued. “We need to value the full range of parent in- volvement.” Minister Wynne said the Province has indicated with money its feelings of the importance of parent involvement. “We know children do better if their parents are involved,” she said, and added that when kids say don’t, it’s important to ensure parents are involved. “Okay, I’ll take my mom hat off now,” chuckled Minister Wynne. When the Liberal govern- ment came into power three years ago, schools were in poor shape, public trust was low and drop out rates high, she said. Once a school trustee, Minister Wynne went into meetings and there was an us-against- the-government mentality, which she thinks her government has helped change. “We must have those good re- lationships in place,” Minister Wynne said, opening her arms. Now, more kids are reading and writ- ing better and graduating from high school, she continued. “Think about where we were three and four years ago... think about where we’re going now,” said Minister Wynne. When it was time for the audience to address Ms. Wynne, up first was stu- dent trustee Jessica Forrest of Whitby’s Henry Street High School. She asked what kind of feedback the Province has received on its learning to 18 initiative. Minister Wynne asked if there was a specific part she wanted to discuss. “The drivers’ licence restrictions,” said Jessica. “I thought so,” responded Minister Wynne. She said the bill was amended so students don’t have to be in school to get their licence, but it can be re- moved if they’re charged with truancy, which is rare. Heather Connery, co-chairwoman of the Glengrove Public School council in Pickering, asked how school councils can combat donor fatigue. “We’re trying to combat donor fatigue,” answered Minister Wynne, and referred to more funding provided to schools for textbooks and other supplies. After the session, Ms. Connery said she was glad to ask the minister her question. “It’s not like something I would get to do every day,” said Ms. Connery. She added she appreciated her honesty in saying combating all concerns will take time. Trustee elect Julia McCrea asked how the ministry will change the provincial funding formula. Minister Wynne said she has sent letters to all education stakeholders to discuss where they are having the most money problems. “Where are the issues every board seems to be struggling with?” asked Minister Wynne. She said she’ll lis- ten to feedback and look into what changes can be made structurally or financially.

Well, the 2006 elections have taken place and the votes are in. As a minority in Durham I hope you feel proud in your deci- sion to vote in this election. With the signs posted all around the municipalities, from street corners to lawns, the reason for not voting must be a strong one. I mean, employers must give an employee up to three hours to vote, so work cannot be a reason. Transportation, well I’ll tell you, speaking from experi- ence, those campaign teams are on the ball, and expecting you to contact them for rides. So what does that leave us with, oh yes the sick. That we just can’t help. As far as I can see, there should have been no reason that your ballot was not cast. If you just simply said ‘Ah what does it matter anyway’, well, I’m ashamed. You see, as a minority, I rec- ognize the importance of a vote. In school, children are taught about the struggles black people fought just to put an ‘X’ on a piece of paper. Even if they had no idea what each candidate stood for, it’s the voting that counts. We (minorities) cannot complain about changes and unfair- ness if we do not participate. Thousands of our brothers and sisters died so we can vote. Instead what do we do? We have our ancestors rolling over in their graves in astonishment to know that you did not exercise your right. However, when Durham begins to change, and you’re part of that change, just remember that on Nov. 13 you did NOTHING to make a change.

The time for door knocking, sign planting, mud slinging and campaign promising is over. The time for agenda setting, motion passing, and making this city a better place has just begun. This time around, your municipal representatives have four years to fol- low through on their campaign platform and to make some changes in Picker- ing. Candidates talked about protecting the Greenbelt, attracting more business, planning better and being fiscally re- sponsible, among other ideas. It’s an exciting time for Pickering. With the Seaton development set to begin any minute now it is imperative that council- lors work together to present a united front to the Province to make sure the development becomes the model, sus- tainable community everybody said it would be. While it is important council work together, it is also important for individ- ual members to remember the mandate they were elected on and the issues of importance articulated by voters. With two new members on council, there is no doubt in my mind that will happen. Council meetings should be an interesting place to be in the coming months as councillors-elect Bonnie Lit- tley and Jennifer O’Connell share their fresh ideas and new perspectives. (It should be noted the loss of Ward 1 Re- gional Councillor Maurice Brenner’s ex- perience and the sometimes dissenting voice of Ward 1 City Councillor Kevin Ashe will not go unnoticed). There will be gaffes and missteps along the way as the two learn the ropes, but at the same time it will be interesting to see how they articulate and present their ideas. The dynamic of council has changed with the election of two new councillors, one of whom brings the voice of a dif- ferent generation to council. Two new councillors who happen to be women (something Pickering council has been lacking). While women politicians may agree on many things with male politi- cians, the way in which they express and handle themselves is often said to be different, even if only slightly. After a decade of all-male council this change is one worth watching. It should also be interesting to watch what happens as Coun.-elect Littley takes her place at the council table after years of standing before it to argue her position. Only time will tell if the next term of council is more productive or makes the right decisions, but one thing’s for certain: it will be different and definitely worth watching.

New council worth watching Danielle Milley staff writer Time to step up and get flu shot Free program has saved Ontario billions It’s a little delayed this year, but it’s still better to get your flu shot late than never to get one at all. There were some delays in producing the vaccine this year and it has come a bit further into the fall than we have been used to over the past few seasons, but it’s here now. And that means you should do whatever you can to make sure you get the flu shot as soon as possible. The shot is free and is readily available at clinics held throughout the region. You can also get the flu shot from your local family doctor, if you’re fortunate enough to have one. There are plenty of benefits to getting the vaccination. While it doesn’t guarantee you’ll avoid the flu completely it does drastically reduce the chance you will contract it. And, if you do get the flu, once you’ve had the flu shot, your symptoms and the duration of the flu will be significantly reduced. The very young and very old should be first in line to get the shot and those who suffer from illnesses are also encouraged to get it as well. Even if you’re needle-shy, you should still brave the shot. Sometimes the issue isn’t whether or not you’ll get the flu, but remaining influenza free so that you don’t pass it on to a friend or loved one. The plan to implement free flu shots, instituted a number of years ago by the Province, has saved billions of dollars in lost productivity. In the few years prior to free shots being admin- istered, hospital emergency rooms were packed with people who could easily have avoided the flu had they had a shot. The well-thought-out flu shot program has saved our health-care system a fortune and made us that much more productive. So, don’t delay. Make sure you get your flu shot today -- or as soon as you possibly can. Visit www.region.durham.on.ca for a list of flu shot clinics. Pickering Town Centre Unit 105-1355 Kingston Rd.

The Canadian Safety Council says new technology for school buses needs to be explored, fol- lowing the release of a U.S. report on non-fatal school bus injuries. The report, released by the Co- lumbus Children’s Research Insti- tute, says 42 per cent of school bus injuries were caused by collisions and 24 per cent as youth were get- ting on or off the bus. “If we want more passenger safe- ty on school buses, we need to ex- plore the use of new technologies, such as air bags, to improve the safety of children in these types of vehicles,” said Raynald Marchand, manager of traffic safety for the Canada Safety Council, in a press release. “We must also ensure that chil- dren from all age groups know how to be safe when they are get- ting on or off a school bus and that they refrain from engaging in horseplay near idling vehicles.” Mr. Marchand added the school bus remains one of the safest ways for students to get to school. In response to the Canada Safe- ty Council comments, Mr. Joel said Durham has an excellent safety record. In its public and Catholic boards, 28,000 students ride the bus every day and he doesn’t re- call there being a serious injury. Mr. Joel added any technolo- gy to improve school bus safety would be appreciated. “Many people talk about seat- belts,” said Mr. Joel, superinten- dent of operations and transporta- tion. 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 motorized seatbelts (such as those on roller coasters),” Mr. Joel said. Although school buses have kept their shape, their safety is always improving. A flashing stop light and bar have been added for when students get off the bus and routes are planned to avoid mak- ing 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 pro- cess,” said Mr. Joel. He added the board also works with drivers to educate them on safety techniques and managing distractions.

The McGuinty govern- ment announced a mini- mum grant of $150,000 for each hospital site in the province. The Rouge Valley Health System is getting just a bit more than that for a total of $315,321. “We had put in a $600,000 grant request to do roof repairs on a 40- year-old roof,” said Hume Martin, Rouge Valley pres- ident and CEO. “This will not do the whole roof.” The money for Rouge Va lley is to be split equally between the Ajax and Cen- tenary site. “We’re always grateful for any support,” Mr. Mar- tin added. He said he realizes the government is struggling to balance its books so any extra funding is appreci- ated. The provincial govern- ment announced more than $41 million in capital funding for Ontario’s pub- lic hospitals for critical or high-need priority projects including structural re- pairs such as roof replace- ment and windows; up- grading heating, ventila- tions and air conditioning systems; improvements to comply with health and safety standards, such as upgrading back-up gen- erators; and work needed to address requirements under the Ontario Build- ing Code and Ontario Fire Code, such as upgrading fire alarm systems. Mr. Martin said some of Ajax’s capital renewal needs include work on the elevators, replacing win- dows, and upgrading the electrical. He said a lot of the infrastructure needs will be addressed through the redevelopment proj- ect, which is scheduled to begin later next year and should be complete some- time in 2009. With an average age of 43, many of Ontario’s hos- pitals could use funding for much needed upgrades and repairs.

Eleven people were led around a grocery store in Ajax by a registered dieti- tian to receive a lesson in healthy eating and nutrition label reading. The Canadian Diabetes Association, in co-operation with Sobeys stores, held the ‘Healthy Eating is in Store Grocery Tours’ in Ajax and Pickering on World Diabe- tes Day, Nov. 14. “The solution to all this is eat a small amount,” Sosan Hua said. “It is about por- tion control. We are so used to seeing big sizes that we think that it is normal, but really small is normal.” Ms. Hua is a registered dietitian with the Scarbor- ough Diabetes Education Program. “In different products you look for different things,” Ms. Hua explained to the group. “In bread you are looking for carbs, sugar and fibre. Milk, you are looking for calcium content and fat content.” Our taste buds, Ms. Hua explained, like three things; fat, sugar and salt. When one of these is taken out of a product to make it “low fat,” for example, more of the others are added to please our pallet. “When you read labels always look at the serving size,” Ms. Hua said. “The best way to choose a healthy product is by comparison of what is out there.” The group looked at ba- gels, comparing white to whole grain, similar in calo- rie content yet the whole grain had much more fibre. As is always important for diabetics to consider, Ms. Hua said with bread you don’t really need to worry about sugar because bread doesn’t contain much. A question Ms. Hua said she often gets from diabet- ics is whether or not they can drink juice. “My answer is yes and no,” she said. “You need to look at your meal for the whole day. Do you really have to drink juice? If you do, then maybe you have to cut down on something else.” If it isn’t 100 per cent juice Ms. Hua said don’t waste your money. “If it isn’t real juice then they put drink or cocktail on the package,” she said. “These drinks have no benefit other than sugar and maybe a little vitamin C.” While examining the la- bels of some cookies and crackers, Ms. Hua spoke about trans fat and remind- ed the shoppers to look for trans fat-free prod- ucts. “But just because it is trans fat free doesn’t mean we can devour them and eat a whole bunch of them,” she said. Oslen Hill of Pickering said he found the tour very informative and expected it would have an impact on his shopping habits from now on.

Store tours teach healthy eating and nutrition Covering Durham’s education situation ccrimi@durhamregion.comREPORTER CRYSTAL CRIMIFor more on this story Notice of Public Information Centre #2 407 East Environmental Assessment (EA) Study – Route Planning Alternatives THE STUDY The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) in consultation with the Region of Durham, its constituents and surrounding municipalities, is undertaking an individual Environmental Assessment Study to address the long-term transportation needs in the Region of Durham and surrounding areas. The Study will examine regional transportation problems and opportunities for a 30-year planning horizon. The efficient and safe movement of people and goods within the Region of Durham, the Greater Toronto Area, and the surrounding areas is critical as population and employment levels in all of these areas continue to grow. Without improvements, the movement of people and goods will be adversely affected as congestion increases and becomes more frequent. THE PROCESS The 407 East Environmental Assessment (EA) Study consists of two stages: (1) the Environmental Assessment Terms of Reference (ToR) and (2) the Environmental Assessment. The ToR was approved by the Minister of the Environment on January 17 2005. The approved ToR is available for review at local municipal offices, libraries and on the project website at www.407eastea.com. The Environmental Assessment study commenced in February 2005. The study will address the requirements of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act in accordance with the approved process detailed in the ToR. Public involvement is an important aspect of the EA Study in terms of identifying transportation problems and opportunities and assessing potential impacts and mitigation methods. Public input and feedback on the EA Study is encouraged and welcomed. In order to facilitate participation, an extensive public consultation process is underway that includes Public Information Centres (PICs) at key points throughout the Study. At any time during the Environmental Assessment Study, municipalities, stakeholders and the public can provide input and comments. At the conclusion of the EA Study, an Environmental Assessment Report will be submitted to the Minister of the Environment for review and approval. Further notices will be posted at that time. PUBLIC CONSULTATION The first set of PICs held in May and June of 2006, presented the “Transportation Problems and Opportunities” and the assessment and evaluation of the “Alternatives to the Undertaking”, which are functionally different ways of addressing the transportation needs in the Analysis Area. A preferred transportation alternative was presented along with a preliminary Study Area. The preferred alternative to address long-term transportation needs included the following components: • A new east-west transportation corridor (highway/transitway) extending from Highway 407, at Brock Road in Pickering, to Highway 35/115; • Two north-south transportation corridors (links) connecting the proposed east-west corridor to Highway 401 in west and east Durham; •Enhancements to transit; •Improvements to existing roads (regional and provincial); and •Improvements to existing transportation operations through demand and systems management. Comments received from the first set of PICs (PIC #1) and the associated responses are posted on the project website. The current route planning phase of the EA Study will identify possible route alternatives for the new east-west transportation corridor and the two north-south links. The short listed practical route alternatives will be studied and evaluated to determine a technically and environmentally preferred route alternative to extend a new transportation corridor easterly from Highway 407 to Highway 35/115 and the two highway/transitway links. PIC #2 will present the route alternatives being considered as part of the route planning phase of the EA, the process for identifying a short list of route alternatives and a refined Study Area. The PICs will be conducted in an open house format, with no formal presentation provided. This format provides an opportunity for members of the public to discuss the project and relay comments directly to the study team. The dates, times and locations of the second set of PICs are: Whitby Area Pickering/Ajax Area Clarington Area Wednesday, November 29, 2006 Thursday, November 30, 2006 Tuesday, December 5, 2006 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Faith Baptist Church Ajax Community Centre Garnett B Rickard Recreation 95 Taunton Road East HMS Room Complex Whitby 75 Centennial Road 2440 Highway 2 Ajax Bowmanville Oshawa Area Peterborough Area Wednesday, December 6, 2006 Monday, December 11, 2006 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. General Sikorski’s Polish Peterborough Public Library - Main Branch Veterans Club 345 Aylmer Street North 1551 Stevenson’s Road North Peterborough Oshawa COMMENTS Interested persons may contact the project team regarding issues of concern at any time during the study.

Fourteen years old too young to be engaged in sexual activity, Durham residents say DURHAM — The Durham chap- ter of the Canadian Women’s League and a group committed to prevent- ing the sexual exploitation of children are meeting with local MPs to support legislation that would raise the age of consent for sexual activity from 14 to 16. Joan Atherfold, regional chairwom- an of the Durham branch of the Catho- lic Women’s League, said more than 1,200 signatures have been collected in one parish alone to show support of Bill C-22, which if passed would raise the age of consent from 14 to 16. The bill had its first reading in June and recently underwent a second reading. “It’s just not right,” Ms. Atherfold said of the current law, adding that in the United States sexual consent laws stand at around 18 years of age. Mary Hawkley, co-president of CASE (Canadian Addressing Sexual Exploita- tion), said the group recently wrapped up its 2006 Ribbons of Signatures cam- paign, in which members wore white ribbons for a period of a week and then presented them to local MPs -- includ- ing Jim Flaherty in Whitby and Colin Carrie in Oshawa -- as a sign of soli- darity that child protection laws need strengthening. Ms. Hawkley said Canada’s current age of consent law is among the lowest in the Western world: “We want the age of consent raised to at least 16 and we would like it higher,” she said. The white ribbon is not a petition, she said, rather a symbolic act among members and groups that believe the current law needs changing. Ms. Hawkley said she hopes the age of con- sent will be raised before year’s end. “We’re just trying to stop these peo- ple who are on the streets... who take advantage of young people. It may be a small gesture but we need to do this... we need to get somebody’s attention,” she said. “We’re still looking at young teenag- ers, especially girls, who are waiting for that charger on the white horse to bring them to ‘never-never land.’ That’s what we’re dealing with or suggesting the government needs to deal with to raise that age,” she said. “It’s one of those things people only end to care about if it happens to their children.” Casino excitement close to home.

By Jennifer Stone Staff Writer DURHAM — Liberal leadership hopeful Stephane Dion said there is a trio of priorities for Canadians in the 21st Century. Mr. Dion was at Bowmanville High School last week, in advance of the leadership convention set for Montreal later this month. The former federal Environment Minister said it’s imperative Cana- da marry economic growth with social progress and environmental responsibility. The last three decades of the 20th century were spent develop- ing strong social programs in Can- ada, said Mr. Dion, speaking to a group of Grade 11 and 12 students as well as some members of the public. “We have learned, not perfectly, but we have learned to have both good economy and social pro- grams,” he said. In the 21st Cen- tury, we “need to continue,” by improving health and social pro- grams. But, there is another prior- ity too, he noted. “In the 21st Century, we need to reconcile the planet and the people,” he said. “For the first time, we recognize the planet cannot follow us.” The environment is in dire straits, he said, “but I am not des- perate, I am not pessimistic ...I want my country, Canada, to be part of the solution, not only part of the problem.” Being environmentally aware and proactive could help drive the economy, predicted Mr. Dion. “We’ll do it, then we’ll export our solutions to the world and then we’ll make a lot of money with it,” he said. Demanding industry meet “de- manding but reasonable targets” in terms of emissions is key, he noted. As well, there needs to be environmental tax reform. Mr. Dion accepted questions from students and members of the public, including one asking how he felt about adopting a three- strike model on crime, similar to that found in some areas of the United States. “It’s important to (see) a differ- ence ... between an ally and a role model,” something Mr. Dion said current Prime Minister Stephen Harper is not doing. “The US is a great ally but it’s not a model ...The choice between soft on crime or tough on crime is not the right choice. We need to be smart on crime.” The Liberals elect their new leader Dec. 2.

Daniel Waldo, 19, will benefit from the “extensive and comprehensive” programs available in the federal corrections system, Justice Bruce Glass ruled. Mr. Waldo was found guilty of sec- ond-degree murder in the death of 73-year-old Helena Ustupski, who was stabbed when he and another young man, Ryan Mason, entered her unlocked fifth-floor apartment on King Street East in the early hours of May 9, 2004. When Ms. Ust- upski awoke and put up a fight Mr. Waldo handed Mr. Mason a knife he grabbed from the kitchen; Mr. Mason stabbed the woman 10 times. Although the youth was 17 at the time of the offence, Justice Glass ruled an adult sentence was ap- propriate and sentenced Mr. Waldo to life in prison with no parole for seven years, the maximum term al- lowable under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. He’s credited with the time he’s served since his arrest in 2004, meaning he’ll be eligible to apply for parole in a little over four years. Members of Ms. Ustupski’s family were relieved the judge ruled against a youth sentence, but her grandson said no amount of jail time could compensate for the loss and horror they’ve endured since her murder.

Replacing him is actress Sadie LeBlanc, who portrays Helen in the CBC series ‘Rumours’. “I was disappointed for us, but thrilled for Corey,” says Tracy Mc- Murray, the Town of Ajax’s youth co-ordinator. “It was a great opportunity for a young, working actor. Corey was disappointed that he won’t be available, but we are very ex- cited to have Sadie act as emcee. It’s amazing how many successful young people have come out of Ajax. We have lots of talent to be proud of.” Both Sevier and LeB- lanc are from Ajax. Ajax on Stage is a showcase of youth talent. More than 20 acts have been selected and include bands, singers and dancers. It’s on Saturday, Nov. 18 in the community theatre at J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate- Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School. The event runs from 6 to 9 p.m. and the schools are on Harwood Avenue north of Rossland Road.

The president of Gay Company Ltd., a Durham business since 1888, died on Saturday at the age of 60. Mr. Gay was known in Durham Re- gion as a skilled property developer who contributed to the community’s physical and social landscape. “He certainly built a lot of stuff,” said business associate Derek Baird. “It was always a pleasure working with him.” His most recent projects included a number of subdivisions built in part- nership with his son Lawson Gay. Mr. Gay put his expertise in prop- erty development to good use while serving on the hospital develop- ment committee. He volunteered for the Oshawa General Hospi- tal Foundation’s Setting the Pace Campaign before join- ing the Board of Trustees at Lakeridge Health in 2000. Marion Saunders, chairwoman of the board, said Mr. Gay was deeply commit- ted to the organization and was very in- volved in the development of the cancer centre. “He was so eager to see that Cancer Centre open and my heart aches that he won’t be there physically to see it,” she said. Ms. Saunders says Mr. Gay was driven by his sincerity to secure the best health care for everyone, but never took him- self too seriously. “He could always make us laugh,” she said. “For that he will be missed by the board. There are many, many ways he will be missed, but for that reason there will be a hole.” Mr. Gay was also involved in the Unit- ed Way, the Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce and the Ontario Hockey League. His involvement in minor hock- ey began in the early 1960s when he played for the Oshawa Generals along- side Bobby Orr. He left the Generals to attend St. Lawrence University, but later returned to the club to serve as a direc- tor. In 1989, Mr. Gay purchased the Ni- agara Falls Thunder from Jack Robil- lard. He remained president until 1999, helping the club through its transition to become the Erie Otters in 1996. David Branch, OHL commissioner, called him “a builder of the Ontario Hockey League.” Mr. Gay leaves behind his wife Deb- bie, his four children and two grand- children. His funeral was held at the Ebenezer United Church Nov. 15. The family would appreciate memorial do- nations to the Durham Regional Cancer Centre or Ebenezer United Church.

They have a well-deserved reputation for sophisticated beauty that brings a desirable touch of nature to every room they grace. With a diversity of style and colours, hardwood is an increasingly popular décor choice for the home. Con- sumers are drawn to it when redecorating; the look and feel of hardwood is naturally appealing and adds un- mistakable charm and elegance to any home. With conventional hardwood, all that beauty can come with a hefty price tag because solid wood tends to be more expensive to buy and install. It is also more susceptible to dents and scrapes which can occur over time. These are typical reservations that cause some homeowners to rule out hardwood all together, even if it is their dream fl oor. But sometimes, dreams can come true. Welcome to the new world of engineered hardwood. This breakthrough in hardwood fl ooring is not only beautiful, but also durable and highly resistant to dents and gaps. Engineered hardwood planks are comprised of three layers - a top layer of hardwood, a stable core and a hardwood backing. All three layers are then fused together to create a fl oor that is more stable than solid hardwood, just as beautiful and, the price is typically lower. The engineered front is not the only renovation in fl ooring. Some hardwood fl oors have even improved on their instal- lation methods. Conventional hardwood fl oors require glue or nail down instal- lation. However, with new interloc- king technology between planks, tighter joints are possible in less time, at much reduced hassle and cost. A world-class leader in these innovative fl oors is Ca- nada’s own Torlys (torlys.com), based in Mississauga. Torlys product line includes all the above benefi ts, plus a wide selection of styles, colours and textures. From plank width to bevelling, deep graining to wire brushed looks, to its 25-year warranty, these fl oors simply dazzle the uninitiated fl oor shopper. Hardwood is no longer out of reach. It can be affordable, durable, easier but still as beautiful as you remember. Imagine hardwood with all of this and no worries. It’s fi nally here. See Passport or website for full details.

In Clarington, Jim Aber- nethy romped to a decisive victory, picking up nearly half the vote in unseating incumbent John Mutton. Also, former Clarington regional councillor Mary Novak is poised to return to the Wards 1 and 2 Re- gional seat. Downtown businessman Ron Hooper (Ward 2) and Willie Woo (Ward 3) were elected along with incumbent councillors Adrian Foster (Ward 1), Gord Robinson (Ward 4) and Charlie Trim (Regional 3 and 4). Voter turnout was just over 40 per cent in the mail-in bal- loting process. In Whitby’s mayoral race, meanwhile, chal- lenger Pat Perkins won by a narrow 195-vote margin over incumbent Marcel Brunelle. In other Whitby races, Elizabeth Roy has been elected in the va- cant Ward 2 seat. Incum- bents Lorne Coe (Ward 4) and Sue Pitchforth (Ward 1) have been re-elected. Incumbent Shirley Scott (Ward 3) defeated her clos- est challenger by nearly 800 votes. In the regional race, Joe Drumm, Gerry Emm and Don Mitch- ell have taken the three council spots. Voter turn- out was listed at 24.82 per cent. In Oshawa, incumbent mayor John Gray was re- elected, easily besting challengers Dawn Turner and Alexander Kemp. In other races, regional Ward 5 councillor Cathy Clarke went down to defeat to challenger John Henry. Incumbents Brian Nich- olson (Regional Ward 1), Robert Lutczyk (Regional Wa rd 2), Nester Pidwer- becki (Regional Ward 3), Joe Kolodzie (Regional Wa rd 4), April Cullen (Re- gional Ward 6), John Neal (Regional Ward 7), Lou- ise Parkes (City Wards 5 and 6) and Tito-Dante Marimpietri (City Wards 2 and 4) were all re-elected. Maryanne Sholdra was the winner in the City Wards 1 and 3 race. In Uxbridge, the may- or’s race was close, with Bob Shepherd prevailing over Susan Self. Howie Herrema easily won the regional councillor’s posi- tion. In Ward 1 Bev North- east returns. In Ward 2 Ted Eng won; in Ward 3 Pat Mi- kuse is the new councillor; in Ward 4 Jack Ballinger won handily and in Ward 5 Gordon Highet won a narrow victory. In Ajax voters decided no change was required as no new faces were elected to council. Mayor Steve Parish was re-elected comfortably. Also re-elect- ed were Scott Crawford (Wards 1 and 2 Regional), Colleen Jordan (Wards 3 and 4 regional), Shaun Collier (Local Ward 1), Joe Dickson (Local Ward 2), Joanne Dies (Local Ward 3) and Pat Brown (Local Ward 4). In Scugog, incumbent mayor Marilyn Pearce was re-elected, defeating chal- lenger Ann Cowman. In Ward 1, a tight race saw incumbent Larry Corrigan lose narrowly to challeng- er Cecil Lamrock.

Province funds character development DURHAM — Along with reading, writ- ing and arithmetic, schools will be teach- ing students about caring and contribut- ing. The provincial government recently announced it’s spending $2 million on a new character development initiative. The plan includes teams of experts work- ing with parents, students and educators across Ontario to identify ways to build character in schools. Information gath- ered will be shared with school boards and new programs are expected to be in place for the 2007/08 year. Durham’s public and Catholic school boards say the announcement provides them with an opportunity to reflect on what they already have in place. “I think it’s something that in Catholic schools, we always include that added dimension of teaching values,” said Pa- tricia Manson, director of education for the Durham Catholic District School Board. “I can’t speak on behalf of the public board, but we have religion and family life,” she added. “We have those process- es built into our curriculum already.” Ms. Manson added Ontario Catholic schools have graduate attributes their students are expected to have, which include being a responsible citizen. “I think a lot of school boards have been doing and supporting (character development),” said Luigia Ayotte, su- perintendent of programs, Durham Dis- trict School Board. “Education is about supporting responsible citizens.” From its Students Together Against Racism Programs, to its bully-free schools document, Durham District School Board has many programs that support character development. “The announcement has made us re- flect,” said Ms. Ayotte. “It’s always a good thing to support initiatives that focus on the positive things kids could be doing.” According to the Province, the educa- tion programs that could come out of the new initiative include promoting more teamwork and co-operation among stu- dents.

The three-level plant, located at Lakeridge Health Oshawa, houses two emergency power generators, a state-of-the-art Central Control Room, water purification system and three massive boilers each capable of providing 3,000 kilowatts of power to the Oshawa site, including the new North Wing, Durham Regional Cancer Centre and the southeast tower. “Today’s modern hospitals simply cannot operate without key utilities like power, water and steam,” said Derek Beckley, Lakeridge’s chief facilities and development officer. “The August 2003 blackout demonstrated that es- sential hospital and health care services must be able to be self-sufficient in an emer- gency.” The plant’s two diesel generators can run independently for up to a week with- out refueling, each providing 4,100 volts of power, and the 130,000 litres of storage fuel is enough to drive a mid-sized diesel car around the world 40 times. Ultimately, the 27,800 sq. ft. CUP has enough capacity to power up a town the size of Port Perry, facili- ties director Neil Clarke said. “Without this plant we could never open the North Wing. It’s a capacity issue,” Mr. Clark said. The North Wing, housing the new Emer- gency Department, Critical Care Unit, and diagnostic imagining and operating rooms is expected to begin operations in January. The old utilities plant, built in the 1950s, and expanded in 1962 and 1970, was not even able to provide 20 per cent of the re- developed site’s emergency power needs or the heating requirements of the hospital’s new and existing space. The Central Control Room of the CUP, manned 24 hours a day, monitors environmental systems such as air flow, humidity and temperature not only at the Oshawa site, but at Lakeridge Health Whitby, Pinewood Centre and Lakeridge’s corporate office as well. “If you could see the plant the way it was before and contrast it with this, this is amaz- ing,” Lakeridge CEO Brian Lemon said. “Of course, this is all background to the patient- care areas. Nobody sees or is aware of this and yet it’s so critical to operating a hospital. If this is not right, then the whole hospital doesn’t work.” Lakeridge wired up over new power plant Covering the Pickering news scene dmilley@durhamregion.comREPORTER DANIELLE MILLEYwww.durhamregion.comCATCH UP ONLINE AT THE NEWS ADVERTISER, November 17, 2006 PAGE 25 A/Pdurhamregion.com ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT durhamregion.com More entries, more youth involvement and more prize money mark 2006 show By Mike Ruta Staff Editor DURHAM — With about 235 paintings entered, the PineRidge Arts Council’s 2006 juried art exhibition attracted more inter- est than ever before. That meant juror Gil McElroy, interim curator at Station Gallery in Whitby, had a tough task in picking roughly 65 works for acceptance into the show. The results, including the award-winning works, are on display at the McLean Community Centre in Ajax until Dec. 2. “You’re going to see a wide variety of works by local artists in all different media, in both the adult and youth categories,” says PineRidge Arts Council president Cathy Schnippering. “And don’t think you’re going to be able to tell the differ- ence.” She was pleased with the total volume of work submitted, and by the fact interest among youth was especially high. One- hundred-and-thirty-one artists entered the show. “A huge amount of work came in, and just because it was not accepted didn’t mean it is no good,” says Ms. Schnipper- ing. With help from sponsors, she says PRAC was able to give out almost $4,000 in prize money, the highest amount in the eight- year history of juried art show. Ms. Schnippering says a core group of six people put the show together, noting “it’s a tremendous amount of work” that never stops, since PRAC members are already working on next year’s event. “I can’t say enough about our volun- teers, because all of our work is done on a volunteer basis, no one is paid,” she says. At the awards presentation earlier this month, the winning artists were recog- nized. The list includes a number of fa- miliar names, including best in show win- ner Danielle Crosby of Oshawa, who also picked up that prize in the 2004 show. May- or’s award winner Daniel Colby of Uxbridge was the best in show recipient last year, and received the Pickering Rotary Club award in 2004. Meanwhile best in youth recipient Holly Young, a Pickering resident, received last year’s mayor’s award. The award winners and those who re- ceived special recognition are: Adult Category • PineRidge Arts Council Best in Show Award- Danielle Crosby • Ontario Power Generation Award- Mandy Budan • Russell David Johnson Award- Tamara Izsak • Rotary Club of Pickering Award- Elena Baker • Mayor’s Award- Daniel Colby • Sponsor’s Awards of Excellence- Timo- thy Comeau; George Hadrbolec; Angela Hennessey, and Sharon Steinhaus • Honourable Mention- Maureen Lowry; Pauline Stephenson; Darrell Wager, and Hailey Yates.

Polak presents ‘eclectic’ show AJAX — Ajax artist April Polak holds an art exhibition next weekend. “It’s really eclectic,” she says in an inter- view of the media represented. Ms. Polak notes the show of 25 to 30 works features “some of my older-type work, acrylics with a lot of depth to them,” in addition to a couple of watercolours and assemblage pieces, a relatively new interest of Ms. Polak. “It’s three-dimensional on a two-dimen- sional canvas,” she explains, adding objects are incorporated into the work. The public is invited to Ms. Polak’s home for the show on Saturday, Nov. 25 and Nov. 26, from 12 to 5 p.m. both days. Ms. Polak lives at 48 Milner Cres., near Finley Drive and Westney Road South, in Ajax.

In fact, three of four Annan- dale Curling Club teams com- peting in the junior women and men’s events won their respec- tive draws and will advance to the regions later this month. Winning the ‘A’ side of the draw in the junior men’s division were Annandale’s team of Tim March, Matt Pyne, Patrick Janssen and Tyler Anderson, with coaches Paul Bourque and Alex Bianchi. Meanwhile, Lesley Pyne, sister of Matt Pyne, skipped her team to victory in the ‘A’ side of the junior women’s draw. Pyne is joined on the team by Stacy Hogan, Leahanne Legrow, and Jackie Clarke with coach Jen- nifer McGhee. Also on the women’s side, the Annandale team skipped by Chantal Lalonde was successful in capturing the ‘B’ side of the draw. With Lalonde were Tracy O’Leary, Renee Lalonde, Jennifer Smith and coach Blair Metrakos. Skip Michael Bryson and his team of Wesley Forget, Emmett Murphy and Sandy Martin with coach Suzannah Moylan finished on the short side in the ‘B’ side final. All three Annandale rinks now get set to compete in the re- gional playdowns, set for the St. George’s Golf and Curling Club, on Nov. 25 and 26. If the teams are successful there, the Ontario finals are in Brockville in January. The M&M Canadian juniors are in St. Cath- arines in February. ••• The Annandale Afternoon Ladies’ League held a success- ful ‘The Freeze’ Bonspiel, spon- sored by Ajax Village Chrysler, at the club on Wednesday, Nov. 8. Forty-eight competitors, includ- ing three visiting teams, played two games each. An Annandale team of Jenni- fer McGhee, Tara Russill, Paula McGhee, and Brenda Grape took first place and get their names on the trophy. Karen Kavanaugh’s Peterborough rink of Brenda Love, Dianne Topping and Joan Murray were the runners-up and received the next pick of the prize table. After the Annandale team of Rhonda Welch, Janet Alexander, April Risto, and Diane Leahy chose their prizes for taking the highest points in the second draw, the remaining prizes were raffled off. ••• The Glenn Howard rink gar- nered another big payday at the 2006 Best Western Wayside Inn Curling Classic in Lloydminster, Alberta, last weekend. The Howard foursome, which also includes Brent Laing play- ing second, Craig Savill leading and usually includes Pickering Olympian Richard Hart at third, won the final over Kerry Burtnyk, pocketing the $22,000 first-place purse. Hart stayed home for a birth- day for his son and was therefore unavailable for the Lloydminster event. He was replaced at the third position by Jon Mead, who won a Brier title with Jeff Stough- ton at Edmonton in 1999. ••• Next on the OCA zone list is the Investors Group Senior Men’s playdown at the Unionville Curl- ing Club on Nov. 24 to 26. Annandale has two entries. Gord Norton skips the team of Mike Trudeau, Rob Thompson, and Ron Alexander, while Carl Vickers will team up with John Thain, David Wake, and George Gay. Two winning teams out of the double knock-out draw will ad- vance to the regionals at the East Yo rk Curling Club on Dec. 2 and 3.

Common thread runs between senior football programs Pickering, Wilson meet for LOSSA title in Oshawa Saturday By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — During this Satur- day’s Durham Region senior foot- ball championship game, long-time friends will turn foes, on the side- lines at least. The Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) title game features back-to-back defending LOSSA champion and defending Metro Bowl champion Pickering High School Trojans and the rela- tive upstarts from Donald A. Wil- son Secondary School from Whitby at Oshawa’s Civic Stadium at 2:30 p.m. The Trojans booked their ticket to defend their LOSSA crown after stuffing the Dunbarton High School Spartans 21-0 in one semifinal on Tuesday afternoon. In the other semi, played on the same day, Wil- son unexpectedly ended the Mon- signor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School Saints’ season with a 28-16 victory. The common thread between the Wilson and Pickering senior foot- ball programs is the coaching staffs. Adam Papadakos, the head coach of the Wilson Gators, had served as a coach for the Pickering High Tro- jans before moving on to Anderson Collegiate and later on to Wilson, where he’s served as the head se- nior coach for the past two seasons. Papadakos says he’s looking for- ward to matching wits with Trojans’ head coach John Martini, whom he coached with for 10 years, and with offensive co-ordinator Rick Shea, whom Papadakos once coached at Pickering. “Yeah, it’s exciting,” says Papada- kos. “John Martini is the best football coach in the region. It’s pretty neat. The friendships will be put aside, at least for one game. It’s quite special, no doubt about it.” For his part, Martini is also look- ing forward to the challenge of coaching against one of his former colleagues. “He’s looking forward to scor- ing on us, that’s the bottom line,” says Martini of Papadakos’s Gators, which lost 15-0 to the Trojans in their only regular-season meeting back on Sept. 29. “He’s probably a year ahead of his plan, but they’re an outstanding team and they’ve improved every week this season, so I wasn’t surprised (they beat Dwyer).” Don’t look for Martini and his Trojans (8-1) to take the Gators (8- 1) lightly in the LOSSA title game. In fact, Martini is predicting the result to be a close one. “I think it’s going to be a toss, a coin toss. We’re looking forward to the challenge,” he says. For his part, Papadakos says his players are positively pumped to take the field with the Trojans. “The kids are really excited. Our goal this year was to make the ‘A’ playoffs, so knocking off Dwyer was a real accomplishment. We want to try our best to get a LOSSA title this Saturday.” He notes, however, his Gators are aware of the strong Trojans’ defence and will definitely have their work cut out for them in attempting to find a chink in its armour. “We can’t get into a shooting match, a high-scoring affair,” says Papadakos. “They have the best de- fence I’ve ever seen. They haven’t given up a legitimate touchdown all year. They have a lot of team speed and a lot of weapons. We’ll work hard at practice and if we play as well as we’ve been playing this year we’ll have a shot.” This year, the Gators, with 14 starters in Grade 11, will face a mainly veteran Trojan team. The Trojans can strike with their run- ning game supplied by Mike Wyn- ters and Nicoli Wellington, along with a solid passing attack with quarterback James McIntosh, as he did in Tuesday’s semifinal against Dunbarton, finding receivers Juevol Myles and Gherone McLean for touchdowns. As for the Gators, they’ll rely on quarterback Leith Fiskin, running backs Kyle Exume and Jamal Darius on offence and Jordan Neill, who plays on the offensive and defensive lines, to lead the way. “We have a number of good kids,” says Papadakos. In the LOSSA junior title game on Saturday, also at Oshawa Civic Stadium, the Wilson Gators will at- tempt to win back-to-back junior crowns, with the Brock High School Bulldogs standing in their way. The junior final’s slated for 11:30 a.m. THE NEWS ADVERTISER, November 17, 2006 PAGE 27 A/Pdurhamregion.com AA1141113AA1141113*All payments are based on 60/84 finance term.

It's A Girl!! Travis & Robynn van Kessel along with proud grandparents George & Linda Bright and Herman & Mary van Kessel are pleased to announce the safe arrival of Jaidynn Leigh van Kessel on October 19, 2006 weighing 7 lbs. 1.5 ozs. "Welcome Jaidynn" ENGAGEMENT! Archie & Eileen Mackinnon are happy to announce the engagement of their son Richard J. Mackinnon to Jennifer Callaghan, daughter of Pam & the late Ray Callaghan of Whitby Wedding to take place July 2007 Love & Best Wishes! Donna & Ron Jones of Brooklin and Dianne & Wayne Rayner of Kirkfield wish to announce the marriage of Ta mi & Terry Wedding took place July 7th, 2006 at Deer Creek Golf & Country Club Congratulations & Best Wishes for a lifetime of health & happiness CARLTON, Kelly It is with profound sadness that the family announces the sudden passing of Kelly, on November 16, 2006, due to a brief illness at the age of 50. Adored husband, soul mate and best friend of Lynda (Burgess). Devoted and deeply loved father of Brandi, Casey and Dusty, all at home. Kelly will be greatly missed by brothers Roger (Pierrette), Barry (Kay), Guy (Debbie) and Lewis, and his sister Lori (Rob) and their families. Predeceased by his parents Geraldine and Mel Carlton. Kelly will be especially missed by his nephew Todd (Amy) and his life long friend Ron and cousin Robert. Kelly leaves many relatives, friends, neighbours, coworkers and clients. Al- though an electrician by trade, Kelly was our back- yard mechanic, renovation king, plumber on call and our all-round, consummate jack-of-all trades. He was always there to help build, fix, wire or just advise on any job, and never turned down a fix-it challenge. Always a perfectionist, we trusted Kelly that anything to be done was, just that, perfection. Always a smile, with the least expected comeback or pun, he never failed to make us laugh. For all of us, he was the glue that held us all together. Words simply cannot describe the depth of our loss and just how much he is already missed by all. The family will receive friends at the McEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME,28 Old Kingston Road, Ajax (Pickering Village) 905-428-8488 on Saturday No- vember 18, 2006 from 7 to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. The Funeral Service will be held on Monday at Pickering Village United Church (300 Church St. North, Ajax) at 11 a.m.. Interment to follow at Pine Ridge Memorial Gar- dens. Should family and friends so desire, dona- tions to the Toronto Sunnybrook Regional Cancer Centre would be greatly appreciated.
