By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — The United Church in Durham wants the federal government to stop the planning for an airport of any kind in Pickering. At the Oshawa Presbytery Faith in Action Committee meeting at the end of the summer, a motion was passed concerning the social aspects of the proposed airport and the federal lands in Pickering. The Oshawa Presbytery covers the United Churches in most of Durham. Rev. Glen Eagle introduced the motion. He is the minister at St. Paul’s United Church in Ajax. He was approached by Gerd Untermann, a member of the Claremont United Church, to pass a motion condemning the idea of an airport. Mr. Untermann is a member of Land Over Landings (LOL), a group opposed to an airport that wants to see the land protected. “Because I used to live in Claremont, I knew about the airport anyway,” Rev. Eagle said. The motion he presented was more general and touched on issues social in nature. “There were some concerns with the way people were being treated,” he said. The motion touches on the envi- ronmental sensitivity of the land and the treatment of the tenants by Public Works – including evictions and repair requests that go unanswered. “Whereas this prime farmland is the highest and best class of agricultural lands, A1, and is the last of this class between Toronto and the east coast of Canada. And whereas Public Works has grossly mismanaged the structures on the property by failing to main- tain them in habitable condition by performing regular maintenance...And whereas Public Works has failed to re-tenant the inhabitable structures thereby leaving them vulnerable to theft and vandalism,” it reads in part. “There were a lot of social issues that were a problem,” Rev. Eagle said. Prior to voting, there was a presenta- tion from Sharon Powell of LOL and Bernadette Zubrinsky from the Sierra Club of Canada. The motion, which calls on the gov- ernment to “halt the current plans to development of an airport of any kind on the lands in Pickering and to enter into long term leases with the tenant farmers,” was nearly passed unanimously. It was forwarded to sev- eral federal ministries including public works, agriculture, and environment. “This is something where the gov- ernment needs to have public input,” Rev. Eagle said.

She received the official call from Chief Vernon White Sept. 25 letting her know she had been selected out of six candidates. “I was ecstatic. It was very humbling. I knew I had a very high calibre of competition,” she said. “I didn’t know who to phone first – my husband, son, daughters or my father.” She is the first female in the history of the Durham Regional Police Services to achieve the rank of superintendent. Supt. Whiteway grew up wanting to be a police officer. “I followed in dad’s footsteps basi- cally,” she said. “There’s a policing cul- ture that when you grow up in a polic- ing home with the values and wanting to help...It’s very rewarding.” Her father, Herb LeGard, is a retired DRPS staff sergeant. “I can remember coming home and putting his hat on and holding his billy stick walking around the house pre- tending,” she said. Although she knew most of her life it was what she wanted to do, Supt. Whiteway didn’t don a uniform until she was 25 years old. Upon high school graduation she applied to the Toronto police department, but didn’t get ac- cepted, and then had a brief stint in banking before becoming part of the DRPS in Pickering. Wanting to learn as much as pos- sible, Supt. Whiteway took every op- portunity she could and changed posi- tions every few years. After Pickering, it was on to Ajax and then Whitby, fol- lowed by a six-month stint in criminal investigations. She was promoted to sergeant in 1991 and to staff sergeant in 1995. She finished her staff sergeant career in professional standards. In 2003, she was promoted to inspector, serving as a duty inspector, a division leader in Ajax-Pickering and most re- cently in communications. “It’s not common (to move that much). I was very fortunate,” she said. “I was able to move up and transfer. I was fortunate that I was able to learn more.” Over her 27-year career, she has seen a lot of changes in the force and in Durham. When she started she was the 11th woman to be hired and today 17 per cent of the force is female. “That’s definitely a change,” she said, adding the force is now actively recruiting to try to be more representa- tive of the community. There have been other, more nega- tive changes, too.

I first noticed it when I was in Ajax-Pickering,” she said, add- ing in the early days officers rarely had to pull their guns. “The officers are hav- ing to do that on a regular basis because of the number of guns on the street.” One of her memorable beat experi- ences involved her having to pull her gun – and fight for it. “That was probably the worst experi- ence any police officer can have,” Supt. Whiteway said. It was 1981, early in her career, and a call came in about a robbery. Her shift was ending, but she took the call. While driving in Ajax near Hwy. 401 she saw someone who matched the sus- pect’s description. As she approached, he opened the passenger side of the cruiser and, since he was supposed to be armed, she went for her gun. “He lunged in the car and grabbed it and we played tug of war,” she said. “He lost and I won.” Thinking back, Supt. Whiteway isn’t sure that was the best decision. To make sure the gun couldn’t be used against her, she emptied the clip, spilling the bullets onto the floor. “Would I do it again that way? Prob- ably not,” she said. While that memory sticks out in her mind, she said every position she’s held has brought its own challenges and spe- cial moments. She has received several accolades, including a YWCA woman of distinction award in 2004. “That was a tremendous honour,” she said. Her new post is bound to hold many challenges and opportunities. As su- perintendent responsible for regional operations, she is in change or Air1, K-9, tactical support, traffic, marine, nuclear security and communications 911. Her first order of business was to familiarize herself with those units and meet the officers. One of her priorities is “bringing back the recognition to the frontline officers as being the true backbone to our orga- nization,” she said. Supt. Whiteway is also looking ahead to the growth needs of Durham. “I am aware of the Seaton commu- nity (in Pickering). We have to ensure the infrastructure is in place to meet the new community members,” she said. “Youth, obviously, is a big concern.” After nearly 27 years as a police of- ficer, Supt. Whiteway still loves the job. “I’m still as enthralled with it,” she said. “It’s a real privilege to be where I am.” She likes the constant change and the ability to help people. Even if she wasn’t a police officer, she believes she would still be in a career where she was helping people. She isn’t sure what the future holds, but if an opportunity presents itself and she thinks she is the right person for the job, she’ll pursue it. “As long as I am contributing and I’m positive and really making a difference I don’t have an end date in mind,” Supt. Whiteway said. The support of her family has made the demands of the career easier. They understand as her husband Tom is a sergeant and her oldest daughter is a constable. While her job keeps her busy, she said she loves to travel and ride her Harley in the warmer months.

Close to 500 people filled St. Isaac Jogues Catholic Church on Finch Av- enue in Pickering to pay their respects to the man who brought the music of his Cape Breton roots to the world. With a career that spanned 40 years, Mr. Cameron made a significant con- tribution to the music industry in Can- ada, paving the way for such artists as The Rankins, Great Big Sea, and Nata- lie MacMaster (a distant cousin). In 2003 he received the Order of Canada in recognition of his efforts in establishing and growing the Celtic music scene in Canada. Mr. Cameron passed away Nov. 22 after a lengthy battle with bone mar- row cancer and leukemia. He was 67. His son Stuart was one of the people who eulogized him at the service. He spoke of a book his mother Angela gave to Mr. Cameron for his birthday in 2001. It’s called ‘A Father’s Legacy’ and contained questions about life, upbringing, and beliefs, among other topics. “He answered every single one of these. There are pages after pages. There are coffee stains on pages. I can tell which ones he wrote on a plane...” he said. “It’s something I greatly cher- ish.” He read a few of his father’s an- swers, including how he would de- scribe success. “Success to me is to achieve what you are most passionate about,” he read. “To me it is not wealth or fame.” Mr. Cameron may have never achieved great wealth doing what he loved, but he was well respected and admired. Several musicians were there Monday to pay their respects, includ- ing fiddler Ashley MacIsaac, rocker Tom Cochrane, and singer Damhnait Doyle. Other notable people at the funeral were Walter Gretzky, Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan, and Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague. While there were tears during the mass, there were also many laughs and smiles as people remembered the godfather of Celtic music in Canada. “He was proud of his heritage and wore a kilt,” said John Donald Cam- eron, his older brother. “He said if he couldn’t make it wearing his kilt and playing the guitar, he wouldn’t.” He released 11 albums during his career and had two television shows in the 1970s. At the end of the mass, one of his best know songs, ‘Lord of the Dance’, could be heard outside as everyone sang it in tribute to Mr. Cameron. A pipe band playing ‘Amaz- ing Grace’ led the procession of the casket, Mr. Cameron’s widow, his son and other family members out of the church. Mr. Cameron was born in Mabou, Nova Scotia in 1968. He lived in Markham for 20 years and had called Pickering home for the past 10.

The Dominican Republic Ex- posure Program began 15 years ago at the Scarboro Foreign Mis- sion Society. It has functioned independently of Scarboro Mis- sions since the spring of 1998 and has been at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School for four years. From Dec. 2 to 9, 18 Grade 12 students and four teachers from St. Mary and Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School will participate in the program and descend upon a sugar-cane vil- lage in the Dominican Republic town of Consuelo. Participants in the program are billeted with local families for one week. Dur- ing this time, they eat what the family eats and sleep where they do. They are also taken through a day in the life of a worker by guides that live in the town and other residents. Trip co-ordinator and teacher Andrew McLaughlin brought the program to St. Mary and says it is an eye-opening experience that shows students the devastating problems facing those around the world. “The goal is really to make friends with the people and to be exposed to the reality of life in a developing country,” he says. At the end of each day, students and teachers meet for a group reflection so they can talk about the day’s events. “You see so much. It’s just something you have to talk about,” says Maygin Seeley, a student who went on the trip last November. There’s no doubt that entering a poor region like this from a country such as Canada will be difficult and students and teach- ers will be bombarded with dif- ferent emotions. However, Mr. McLaughlin knows from experi- ence that they will be amazed at how much this trip affects their lives. “You feel like you understand the world better,” he says. Ms. Seeley agrees and says she came away from this trip looking at life from a different viewpoint. “I learned to never take things for granted and that you can have nothing and still be happy” she said, adding she was lucky her host family had full electric- ity because some other houses didn’t have power for days, if at all. The 18 students chosen sub- mitted essays that outlined rea- sons as to why they should go on the trip. As for what essays stood out, Mr. McLaughlin said that ones that were “really sin- cere and looked at the trip from a different angle,” were selected. The group will be bringing medi- cal supplies, clothing, backpacks, shoes and anything else they can get to somehow make life easier for the inspirational people they are about to meet. Now embarking on his fourth trip with St. Mary, Mr. McLaugh- lin says despite their contin- ued efforts, he sees no signs of improvement in the quality of the host families’ lives. “That’s the hardest part,” he said. However, he feels it’s a valu- able trip to make. NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT AND PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE #1 Bayly Street / Victoria Street Bayly Street / Victoria Street From Shoal Point Road (Town of Ajax) To Seaboard Gate (Town of Whitby) The Regional Municipality of Durham is initiating a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study for the proposed reconstruction and widening of Bayly / Victoria Street (Regional Road 22) from Shoal Point Road in the Town of Ajax to Seaboard Gate in the Town of Whitby. The Study, which is being undertaken in accordance with Schedule C of the Municipal Class EA, will identify the alternative solutions to the defined problems and opportunities and select a preferred implementation strategy. The proposed widening of Bayly / Victoria Street from Shoal Point Road to Seaboard Gate has been identified in the Durham Region Transportation Master Plan (2005) to accommodate projected growth in travel demand in the Durham Region and to eliminate the existing “bottleneck” between Ajax and Whitby along this corridor. The section between Lake Ridge Road and Seaboard Gate passes through the Lynde Creek Marsh.

LIFE WITH LUCY PA GE A6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ NOVEMBER 29, 2006P I was walking to the post office the other day and I bumped into my dear old friend Iris. Iris is, of course, not her real name. I’d like to use her real name, but it’s too risky. Iris is, I’m pretty sure, a member of the ‘Inner Council’ or ‘Secret Tribunal’ of Seniors in this town. The gray-haired Illuminati who really hold the power around here. Think I’m joking? From time to time in small towns like mine, people go miss- ing. They’re just ‘not there’ one day. Everyone says ‘Oh, I guess Fred moved away’ or ‘Well, I haven’t seen Thelma in a coon’s age, she must be feeling poorly.’ But they know what’s re- ally happened. We all know. Fred ‘went away’ alright. He was run out of town on a rail after failing to hold the door to the Legion open for old Mrs. Norris. And Thelma’s feeling a good deal worse than poorly, I can guarantee you that. No- body makes old Wilf Suggins run his electric scooter off the sidewalk and onto the grass and lives to tell the tale. I don’t care if she did have three kids in tow, and the youngest pitch- ing a fit. That’s Wilf Suggins, lady. The Grey Godfather. I don’t have any proof, but I’d bet a year’s salary that the bottom of Lake Scugog is lit- tered with the bodies of people unfortunate enough to cross the ‘Council of Wrinkles’ or whatever they’re called. And every one of those bodies is wearing a cement cardigan. If you get my drift. So no, I don’t even want to think of what might happen if I should inadvertently peeve Iris off. For starters it’s a sure thing I’d never see a tray full of home- made Nanaimo bars again and my kids wouldn’t be able to buy a ‘snow shoveling’ job in this town. So Iris and I got to gabbing. More accurately, Iris got to gabbing, I shut my mouth and minded my elders. I soon gath- ered that this is a big time of the year for grammas and great grammas like Iris. It’s baking and knitting time. Gearing up for Christmas time. Iris went on and on about how much work she had ahead of her. Oh, there were pans and pans of squares to lay up, enough boo- ties to knit to outfit the Chi- nese army, and shortbread? My gaul, you’d have to haul it away in a truck. And of course there were the ‘afghans’. Talk- ing with Iris, I began to realize that, more than just a comfort- able something to toss around your shoulders or throw over your lap on a cold day, afghans are actually a unit of time for grandmothers. They measure a grandchild’s growth not in years or months but by how many afghans they’ve knit them. ‘You know my grandson Luke, he’s Pearl and Roy’s boy, well he’s already five afghans along. My land, I don’t know where the time goes.’ I also noted, with a smile, that the more Iris complained about the work to be done, the more she was very obviously in love with it. All those cook- ies and squares and comfort- ers were much more than just precious gifts to her family. They were keeping her alive. We should all have such won- derful burdens this time of year.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Some smoke alarms have no batteries To the editor: Further to your editorial of Oct. 29, 2006, ‘Change Batter- ies Along With Clocks’. I recently discovered that there were no batteries to change. Many new homes have smoke detectors wired to the electrical charge that feeds into the fuse box in the base- ment. If the power goes out, the smoke detectors are non- functioning. Even worse, I discovered that my smoke detector shares the same fuse with my door- bell ringer, which happened to short out the other day, causing the transformer and fuse to blow. Along with the door bell, the smoke detector burnt out. There was plenty of smoke, but no alarm warning me and my neighbours of the poten- tial danger. Had I not come home from work early that day, and with- out the expertise and assis- tance of the Pickering Fire Services, there could have been tragic consequences. I have since purchased two smoke alarms - with batteries - to run concurrently with my electrical smoke alarms. Cara MacDonald Pickering Police part of the problem of improper turns To the editor: One of my pet peeves when driving is having other drivers making improper turns. It’s usually the exception to see someone making a proper turn. A proper turn is turning left into the left-hand lane, or turning right into the right- hand lane. Many times I watch drivers turn left into the far right-hand lane and turn right into the far left-hand lane. Not only is this unsafe, it is also discourteous to other drivers. If drivers turning right turn into the correct lane, it allows opposing drivers turning left to turn into their correct lane at the same time. As it is now, people are not sure what lane the other driver will turn into, so they wait. Perhaps they wait because they know they themselves would turn into the incorrect lane, so they as- sume the other driver is going to as well. I’ve often wondered why people are so lazy and negli- gent in this. Well, this morn- ing I got a revelation. I was following an officer driving his Durham Regional Police car. He proceeded south on Whites Road, and turned left onto Bayly into the right-hand lane! Now it all makes sense. The ones charged with en- forcing the laws are flouting the laws themselves. When they are in their cars, the po- lice are often not following the rules of the road themselves, so why would they bother en- forcing them? I guess that’s why people disregard yellow and red lights, too. The police can’t be both- ered to actually correct driv- ers’ behaviour, so it contin- ues unabated, and gets worse every week. I’ve watched po- lice cars sitting in traffic and a driver disregards a red light right in front of them. The of- ficers do nothing. Maybe they’re jaded. Maybe they feel overwhelmed. Maybe we need more traffic enforce- ment officers (with a corre- sponding budget increase). Hopefully it’s not because they don’t care.

Quebecois as a nation reflects long-time reality French-speaking Quebecois, those who were born in the prov- ince, who live there and who relate to their fellow Quebecois as distinct, have long been a historical reality in Canada. They make up one of Canada’s founding peoples and have a distinct language, legal code, culture and some protections under the BNA Act and the Constitution. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s motion recognizing the Que- becois as a nation, merely reflects what everybody knows and has understood for some time. The motion, which passed in the House of Commons with all-party support on Monday, does not open the door automatically to further- ing Quebec separatism. Nor does it suggest that a huge number of nations will suddenly be asserted all across Canada. What it does do is offer Quebecois -- which does not include anglo- phones or allophones, those who speak languages other than French and who live in Quebec -- the chance to be recognized as a legal, of- ficial entity by the Government of Canada. This is already done by the feds with respect to a multitude of First Nations peoples, all of whom are clearly recognized by the govern- ment as living within a united Canada. The exact same thing is true under Mr. Harper’s motion as it respects the Quebecois. How did we get to this point and why? Mr. Harper’s motion came as a result of two separate moves by very different parties. The Liberals, in the heat of a leadership race, brought the issue to the forefront a few months ago when the Quebec wing of the federal Liberal party overwhelmingly supported the motion of Quebec as a nation within Canada. The motion, to be debated at the leadership convention in Montreal this weekend, received strong support by Michael Ignatieff, leading contender for the crown. The Bloc Quebecois then recently made a motion in the House of Commons to recognize Quebec as a nation, with no reference to Canada. Mr. Harper’s motion headed off the BQ’s move and rendered it moot. Now, Canadians can go on without the separatist feuding that mars so much of our politics. The feds have recognized Quebec’s position. It’s time to get on to the business of governing this diverse country and making sure all are treated fairly and equally.

FRENCHMAN’S BAY STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MASTER PLAN PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE No. 2 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm, November 30th, 2006 East Shore Community Centre, Room 4 The City of Pickering’s Waterfront Coordinating Committee is committed to seeing the waterfront become a place that achieves a wide range of objectives including public use and recreation, environmental sustainability, enhanced tourism opportunities and commercial links. Pickering’s Council has endorsed the development of a five-year implementation plan for Pickering’s waterfront and Frenchman’s Bay. One of the priority projects identified was the development of a Stormwater Management Master Plan for Frenchman’s Bay and its contributing watersheds. This is to address long-standing concerns regarding the ongoing decline in the quality of the Frenchman’s Bay ecosystem by seeking means to control the quantity and quality of storm runoff entering the local creeks and the Bay itself. The study area is shown on the map below and is available for viewing on the City website at cityofpickering.com. The Plan is being developed by the City in cooperation with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority as a Class Environmental Assessment. We invite you to attend the 2nd Public Information Centre (PIC) to be held at the place and time noted above. The purpose of the PIC is to provide an update on the Plan’s development, to review detailed objectives for the plan and to review a list of potential stormwater management options being considered.

Ms. Littley is the new regional coun- cillor for Ward 1 after defeating long- serving Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner Nov. 13. She previ- ously had an unsuccessful bid in 2003. For Ms. Littley, her interests are also her political passions. She is the co- founder of the Rouge Duffins Greens- pace Coalition, a member of the On- tario Smart Growth Network, and a vol- unteer with Altona Forest Stewardship. She was honoured with the Robert Hunter, Damn Fine Activist Award by the Toronto Environmental Alliance in 2005 and a Woman of Distinction Award by the Durham YWCA in 2006. Coun.-elect Littley was also on the Durham Region Economic Develop- ment urban/rural action committee and the Sustainable Pickering commu- nity outreach committee. But, now that she’s a member of those councils her involvement may have to change. “I could add a lot to that,” she said of Sustainable Pickering. But, when one has a list of commu- nity involvement as long as Coun.-elect Littley’s, there are bound to be a lot of people counting on her to bring about the change she’s talked about for years. “I just see all kinds of possibilities,” she said. “I’m a little nervous about all of the expectations.” Her busy volunteer schedule has helped prepare her – and her family – for the time commitments required of a municipal councillor. “I’m used to juggling that kind of schedule,” she said. “My family is used to me going to public meetings and conferences.” Coun.-elect Littley lives in Pickering with her three children – Breanne, Jonelle and Cole – and her partner Dean Carrigan. She said her family will attend a lot of community events with her. “They have to because they have to feel part of it,” she said. “They wanted to help.” The family is rounded out by Altona the dog and two cats. They also used to have a bunny and fostered a baby robin for a year. Before her volunteer work started consuming all of her time, Coun.-elect Littley said she enjoyed gardening and is interested in the arts. “I wish I had more time for art,” she said. “I used to like photography.” The immediate future sees her get- ting up to speed on ongoing issues and taking her children away on the trip she promised them. As a full-time council- lor, she’ll have less time for her work in freelance graphic design and market- ing, but she wants to continue some of it, such as with the Durham Symphony Orchestra. Come the New Year, a move may also be in the cards. “We want to move down close to (Dunbarton) high school,” she said. “I’m tired of driving my car to get milk.” Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Bonnie Littley, councillor-elect for Ward 1 following the Nov. 13 municipal election, makes a point during an interview with the News Adver tiser at her Pickering home. Durham Homes helps students build a future Goldman family donates $100,000 to Oshawa university for annual award DURHAM — A Durham home de- veloper is helping university students build their future. Nathan and Marvin Goldman of Durham Homes on Thursday donated $100,000 to the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), which qualifies for matching provincial fund- ing. The money will create an $8,000 annual award, to start in 2007, for a student in financial need and enrolled full-time in graduate studies at UOIT’s faculty of engineering and applied sci- ence. “After today you will have to think of UOIT as your university; we’re lifelong friends,” said UOIT president Ronald Bordessa during a lunch event with the developers. Standing up to make his remarks, Mr. Bordessa said Durham Homes’ values and views in home building are in line with those of the university. “We’re thrilled you have joined our family... you know you are always wel- come in this institution,” said Mr. Bord- essa. During its 56 years in the business, the Goldman family has built a repu- tation for its environmentally friendly construction projects, and with its new endowment fund, is offering “untold opportunities” for UOIT graduate stu- dents, Mr. Bordessa said. The award will recognize a student who has achieved excellence at the un- dergraduate level and plans to carry out graduate studies in residential housing design or construction for environmen- tally responsible and healthy homes. “The example you’re giving to our students of giving back to the commu- nity is important,” said Marc Rosen, a UOIT professor and dean of the faculty of engineering and applied science. He said the donation is especially im- portant because the school is still new. “We are doing work in energy effi- ciency here, it’s a key strategic priority on the research end of our education programs. So the fact that’s so near and dear to Durham homes is something that just reflects our values very nicely,” said Mr. Rosen. “Education has always been some- thing we thought we could help,” said Mar vin Goldman, accompanied by his older brother Nathan. Now known as Durham Homes, the construction company was started in Oshawa in 1950 by Harry Goldman with his sons, Marvin and Nathan. PA GE B1 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ November 29, 2006 A/P SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com Sports briefs NOVEMBER 29, 2006 [ Squash ] Pickering teen provincial champ PICKERING — A Pickering teen is the best in his age group on the squash court in the province this year. Adam Engel, 14, captured the On- tario Junior Squash Championship at Fabulous Fitness in Vaughan last weekend. Com- peting against the best players in the province, the Grade 9 stu- dent at St. Mary Catholic Second- ary School won the boys’ under- 15 division cham- pionship game comfortably 3-0 (9-2, 9-5, 9-0) over Albert Shoihet, the former Canadian national age group champion from Oakville. Engel now has his sights set on the Canadian Junior Open Championship in Vancouver, B.C. from Dec. 9 to 12. Following the Canadians, Engel is off to Edinburgh, Scotland for the Scottish Open, which is held over the Christmas holidays. He is then scheduled to compete in the British Open in Sheffield, Eng- land in January, the most prestigious event of the year. The Open attracts the best players from all over the world. [ Judo ] Ajax judokas medallists at open provincials AJAX — Ajax Budokan Judo Club competitors threw down their foes en route to a solid performance at the Ontario Open Judo Championships at Mississauga’s Hershey Centre last weekend. Club members captured five med- als at the two-day competition, which attracted more than 740 competitors from across the province. Results of Ajax Budokan members were: • Derek Langlois, first place, minus-45 kilogram juvenile male division; • David Ancor, second place, minus-55 kg. juvenile male division; • Renee Guggino, second place, minus-52 kg. junior female division and second place, minus-52 kg. senior fe- male division; • Patrick Tremblay, third place, minus- 60 kg. senior male division; • Chelcie Doherty, fifth place, minus- 63 kg. senior female division; • Slava Rogov, seventh place, minus-73 kg. senior male division. The Ajax Budokan Judo Club hosts its annual tournament at the Lakeside Community Centre this Saturday, Dec. 2. The annual tournament gets un- derway at 10 a.m. and continues until approximately 6 p.m. [ Basketball ] Balanced scoring leads Dickson’s past Top Shelf AJAX — A well-balanced offence propelled Dickson Printing over Top Shelf 60-42 in the opening game of the Ajax Men’s Basketball League last Wednesday evening. Gord Brown, Scott Poulton and Eric Spriel each had 12 points for Dick- son in a match that saw every player score. Antonio Krupl led the way for Top Shelf with 12 points; Mike Gordensky and Rob Hare each had nine points. Dickson Printing is now the only undefeated team in the league at 4-0. ESN Packaging put another notch in the win column with a convincing 58- 45 victory over the Burgundy team. Big men David Jackson with 17 points and Yves Dube with 14 paced the ESN attack. Burgundy, which lived and died by the three-point jump shot, was led by Claude Whitfield with 15 points, includ- ing four treys and Gregg McGuire with 11 points, including three treys. The closest match of the evening saw North Alliance Press lose a heart- breaker to Michael’s Eatery 61-55. Kitson Wallace stepped up for Michael’s, scoring 18 points on several strong offensive rebounds. He was as- sisted by Louis Davis and Doug Coles with 11 and 10, respectively. Claude Feig held the hot hand for NAP with 12 points; John Hagley added nine. Players in the league reside in Ajax and Pickering. Adam Engel Keane on Michigan State National team player from Ajax lands with basketball Spartans By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — Yo u could say basketball phenom Kalisha Keane is prepared to live a ‘Spartan’ existence over the next four years. The 6-foot, 1-inch forward from Ajax will call East Lansing, Michigan home for the next four years after signing a letter of intent earlier this month to attend Michigan State University on a basketball scholarship. With the University of Michigan, DePaul, and Providence College all in the mix with scholarship pitches, Keane says being close to home, the strong academics and the MSU wom- en’s basketball program, which is a perennial contender in the NCAA Di- vision 1 Big 10 Conference, made her decision a relatively easy one. “I like that the distance was not too far for my parents to come and see me. It was important to them and impor- tant to me. They have good academic programs and the basketball program is one of the top in the nation. So, re- ally, it was a no-brainer,” says Keane, who attended the Durham Region senior girls’ basketball champion- ship game in Whitby last Wednesday, cheering on her former Sinclair Sec- ondary School teammates. Familiarity, she notes, was another prime reason for choosing MSU. She not only knows the Spartans’ head coach Joanne P. McCallie, but also knows the only Canadian on the MSU Spartans -- Alissa Wulff, from Pickering. “The whole team atmosphere there. There’s another Canadian, Alissa Wulff, who was my host while I was there. She’ll mentor me for a year and she’s someone I’ve known since I was a kid. When I was playing on the under-21 (national women’s) team in the summer, the Michigan State coach was there coaching the U.S. team, but I had known her from before.” McCallie, on a press release on the MSU women’s basketball website, notes Keane’s ability to play multiple positions, as well as her high basket- ball IQ, made her a desirable recruit. “Kalisha is (a) versatile player that can play the three or four,” McCallie said, referring to the power forward and small forward positions. “She can shoot the three and put the ball on the floor. She’s a savvy competitor that likes to take tough shots in tough situations, and is academically very strong.” Signing on with Michigan State, says Keane, won’t affect her status with the Canadian junior women’s basketball team, where she was a prime perform- er with the squad last summer. She led Team Canada with 9.6 points and 5.4 rebounds per game in the FIBA Americas Under-20 championships in Colorado last June, where she helped the Canadians to a bronze medal. Keane’s also spent her senior year of high school as part of the Canada Basketball’s National Elite Develop- ment Academy (NEDA), attending We stdale Secondary School in Ham- ilton since September. NEDA players (which includes her younger sister, Ta kima) train twice a day, including two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. Moreover, the NEDA team participates in several na- tional and international tournaments throughout the school year, includ- ing the Canada Basketball Invitational To urnament. She says she’s being one of 12 play- ers from across Canada in the NEDA program has allowed her to train and compete at a high level during the school year. “It’s really good preparation for next year and, living away from home, I’ve had to do laundry and cook. I’m a bit more independent,” she says. Keane says she has no expectations coming into her freshman season with MSU. She plans to try out with the Canadian junior women’s team again next summer and continue to train up to leaving for the university in Au- gust. “I’m not going in with certain ex- pectations. I just want to work as hard as I can. I’m just going to go in and take care of what I can take care of,” she says. Keane says she’s grateful for the support she’s received throughout her years in basketball, including her for- mer coaches with Durham Jaguars atom boys’ team, the only girl to suit up for the squad, as well as her club, provincial and national team coaches who’ve helped her climb the basket- ball ladder to the provincial and na- tional levels of competition.

Trojans attempt to Bowl over old foe in semifinal Ajax teen earns first international rugby cap Morrison plays for Canada on English tour AJAX — Playing in England against some of the country’s top club teams was a real eye-opener for Ajax’s Jake Morrison, who just completed an Eng- lish tour with the Canadian national under-17 rugby team. Morrison notes the club teams in England “are a hundred times better than here. They start (playing rugby) so much younger than us.” The Ajax High School Grade 10 stu- dent notes every town in England has its own rugby team, much like Cana- dian towns and their hockey teams, and the calibre of rugby employed by the club teams there is, predictably, extremely high. Be that as it may, Canada’s com- bined under-17/under-16 national team, with the tour squad split equally from the two teams, returned from its nine-game tour of England with a ster- ling 7-2 record.

Newmarket’s Huron Heights Second- ary School Warriors, whom the Trojans defeated in last year’s Metro Bowl final, will meet the Ajax-based school a game earlier this time around at Toronto’s Esther Shiner Stadium at 11 a.m. The Trojans booked their ticket to a third consecutive date in the Metro Bowl semifinal after defeating the upstart Donald A. Wilson Secondary School Gators of Whitby 38-0 in the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athlet- ics (LOSSA) championship game on Nov. 18. Meanwhile, the Warriors are back in the Metro Bowl hunt after dis- patching the Brother Andre Cardinals 47-14 in the York Region championship game at Esther Shiner Stadium on Sat- urday. Trojans’ head coach John Martini says the Warriors will no doubt have something extra to play for, hoping to turn the tables on the Trojans for last year’s 24-19 defeat in the 2005 Metro Bowl final. “I’m pretty sure they’ll be out for re- venge,” says Trojans’ head coach John Martini. Warriors head coach Al Rover be- lieves the defending Metro Bowl champs haven’t missed a beat from last season’s championship team. “Pickering is a great team much like last year,” says Rover. “They’re big, strong and fast. Their team speed is excellent. John Martini always has his team ready to play, especially his defence. We ex- pect them to be tough. We’re going to have to play error-free football to stand a chance against them.” Martini contends Huron Heights is perhaps more improved than the one at last year’s Metro Bowl final. “I went to watch them play (the York Region final) and they looked as strong, if not stronger, than they did last year,” explained Martini. Moreover, the York Region champs will offer up a number of offensive looks that will keep the Trojans’ defence on its toes. The Trojans’ defence, which has been par excellence as it hasn’t given up a touchdown to an opponent this season, will need to reach an even high- er plateau if they’re to neutralize the high-powered Warriors’ offence, which includes running back Kamar Anglin and Ezra Millington, who lines up as a receiver on offence and as a defensive back on defence -- both returnees from last year’s Metro Bowl finalist squad. “We have to hold them to one, possi- bly two, touchdowns. The defence, I’m sure, will need its biggest game thus far,” says Martini. Asked for some insight into how his Warriors can beat the Trojans, Rover says scoring early would definitely help. “I think what would serve us well is to score early and score more than one touchdown. Hopefully that would cause some upset on their bench.” Pickering junior club plans to have deal consummated by Friday By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — The Brett Connolly era is over with the Pickering Panthers. The hard-hitting power for- ward and a high-scoring as- sistant captain on the Panthers this season will be traded be- fore Friday, noted head coach Pat Curcio. “We wanted to make a few more changes. Frank (Robin- son, Panthers’ general man- ager) and myself, after Thurs- day’s game (a 6-3 loss to New- market), had some things to talk about and one of them was giving other kids a chance. Connolly was a player who de- manded so much ice time, so we weighed out opportunities and options and decided to make a trade.” Connolly didn’t dress for Friday’s game against the Ajax Attack and Saturday’s contest against the North York Rang- ers. Curcio notes it was a deci- sion by Robinson and himself not to have Connolly on the bench for either game while trade talks were ongoing. Other than affording younger players more ice time, Curcio wouldn’t be more specific as to why Connolly was on the trad- ing block. After returning to the Panthers from the Ontario Hockey League’s Mississauga Ice Dogs last season, Connolly has been on a tear this sea- son, cur- rently in third place in the team’s points standings with 33 (13 goals and 20 assists). He was also named as the Ontario Hockey Association’s South Confer- ence’s player of the month for October when he racked up eight goals and seven assists in 11 games during the month. “We’ve always liked Brett, but I think we had to make a change. We wanted to get younger and quicker,” he says. Moreover, Curcio noted the Panthers have received numer- ous calls from league clubs re- garding Connolly’s availability. “He’s a hot commodity, so now was the time to make a move.” Curcio notes the Panthers have verbally agreed to a trade with a team in another confer- ence, with another front-line forward expected to come the other way. The loss to Newmarket, the first game between the two clubs since the blockbuster six-player trade in October, left Curio piqued at the lack of dis- cipline exhibited by his club. At the next practice, he and his coaching staff made the case for playing a more disciplined game. “We wanted to make clear that the way our team has to compete is to be disciplined every night. When we play dis- ciplined hockey and take less penalties than our opponent we win hockey games.” Urged to take a disciplined approach, the Panthers took out their frustrations on the scoreboard instead in games against the Ajax Attack and the North York Rangers on the weekend. The Panthers ramped up its offence in the third period of Sunday’s game in Toronto against the North York Rang- ers, scoring six goals in the frame en route to an easy 11-4 victory. Two nights earlier on home ice against neighbouring Ajax, the Panthers atoned for an earlier defeat to the Attack by posting a 5-1 victory at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex. The two victories allowed the Panthers (17-10-2-0 for 36 points) to keep pace with the Markham Waxers, with the clubs tied for third place in the South Conference standings. The Panthers are one point out of second place, currently held by the Vaughan Vipers. “It was incredible,” says Cur- cio of the Panthers’ weekend play. “The way we moved the puck, the chemistry with the line combinations. They played with a lot of effort.” Drawing praise was rookie forward Brendan Hann, who earned a spot on the top line with captain Richard Schofield and Phil McIlhone. Hann more than fit in with the two veter- ans. “He played with speed and tenacity and picked up a cou- ple of points, including his first goal in junior hockey,” says Curcio. “It’s nice to see a young player get an opportunity and make the most of it.” SCORING SUMMARY Panthers at North York Period 1 North York - Brandon Walker (PP) (Chris Dixon, Justin Volpe) 2:07 Period 2 Pickering - Richard Schofield (Brendan Hann, Kory Helowka) 3:06 Pickering - Daniel Mandel (Mike McFarlane) 4:28 Pickering - Richard Schofield (unassisted) 5:25 North York - Justin Hitchen (Kevin Willer, Andrew Wright) 6:28 Pickering - Greg Riggs (Greg Payne) 8:46 Pickering - Brad Fleishman (Cory Battista, Michael Banwell) 10:33 Period 3 Pickering - Kory Helowka (unas- sisted) 5:44 Pickering - Greg Riggs (unas- sisted) 7:37 North York - David Mooney (shorthanded) (Connor Smee) 8:20 Pickering - Scott Brown (PP) (Kory Helowka, Jesse Heb- scher) 11:43 Pickering - Brendan Hann (unas- sisted) 11:56 Pickering - Richard Schofield (Brendan Hann, Phil McIlhone) 12:30 Pickering - Brad Fleishman (Josh Booth, Kory Helowka) 14:48 North York - Bradley Sullivan (Max Gavin, Michael Shirley) 18:41 POWERPLAYS Pickering: 1-for-7; North York: 1-for-9 PENALTY TOTALS Pickering: 25 minutes on 12 infractions; North York: 21 min- utes on 10 infractions Recycled pop and water bottles turn into all kinds of surprising things, like fleece.

We’d love to hear about it. Please send it to news editor Mike Ruta at mruta@ durhamregion. com NEWS ADVERTISER In their final game of the tour on Nov. 19, Canada posted a 10-5 victory over Shelford RUFC U17s, with Morrison named the player of the game. “It was a nice way to finish it off,” says Morrison, 16, who plays his club rugby with the Ajax Wanderers Rugby Club. Prior to the tour, Morrison and the rest of the team, which included five other Durham Region players, met for a brief three-day training camp before jetting to England on Nov. 6 to begin the two-week tour. Morrison, who plays in the back row (No. 8 position) for the Canadian squad, ascended to the national team after playing for Ontario’s under-16 team that competed in the Canadian National Rugby Championships in Winnipeg in August. There, he helped the team to a silver medal after suffer- ing a disappointing loss to B.C. in the final. Morrison was named to the all- star team, with players selected from all provinces. Following the nationals, Morrison was asked to stay in Winnipeg for the national team camp of the best young rugby players in the country. After an intense week of training, he returned home and, days later, was offered a spot on the national under-17 squad. Morrison’s ascendency to the na- tional team has been nothing short of incredible, only starting in rugby last year in his Grade 9 year at Ajax High. Prior to high school, soccer was his sport of choice. But, under the direc- tion of midget-level rugby coaches Dan Prescott and Glenn Imperial at the south Ajax school, he immediately showed promise and, later in the sea- son, set a school record of scoring five tries in a game. He was urged by his coaches to go out for the regional team but, due to soccer obligations, wasn’t able to commit. In the spring of this year, however, he tried out for the regional under-17 rugby team, eventually earning a spot. Soon after, he found himself on the roster of the provincial under-17 squad, training with the team this past sum- mer. Morrison is expected to head to England with the Canadian under-17s again next April for the Millfield Tour- nament, which brings together the na- tional under-17 teams from England and Scotland. NOTES: Tw o other Ajax Wanderers Rugby Club players, Kyle Armstrong and Courtney Mendez, and Peter McDougall, of the Oshawa Viking Rugby Club, are members of the national under- 17 team.

A total of $234,000 in gift cards will be donated to over 270 shelters in support of the holiday fundraising programs.

The player in the photo was Joel Lo- zano. The News Advertiser regrets the error. NEWS ADVERTISER 905-683-5110 ✦ Ajacian, from Page B1 By Mike Ruta Staff Editor PICKERING — A really big musical theatre class at Dunbarton High School means a big production. There are 85 students and three teachers teach- ing the Grade 11/12 class, and when it came time to pick a musical for the year, the educators felt stu- dents had what it takes to tackle a challenging work, ‘Les Miserables’. “Our teachers were going through musicals we want to do, and they were looking at all the voices and talents in the play,,, and felt the voices we have are well-suited to it,” explains Grade 12 student Mona Mousa. ‘Les Miserables’ is the story of Jean Valjean. Re- leased on parole after almost 20 years on the chain gang, he finds that the yellow ticket-of-leave he must, by law, display condemns him to be an out- cast. Only the saintly Bishop of Digne treats him kindly and Valjean, embittered by years of hardship, repays him by stealing some silver. Valjean is caught and brought back by police, and is astonished when the bishop lies to the police to save him, also giving him two precious candlesticks. At that point, Valjean decides to start his life anew. Mona is a member of the chorus, but notes that all cast members have dual roles in the production. She’s also got the job of helping with the advertising and promotion of the work. “We basically turn into a production company,” she says. “The students on stage, when they’re off stage, they’re doing a lot of work.” There are hundreds of things to do, with students formed into groups for such tasks as set design and costume making. Students have been working on the play since school started in September. Justin James, also in Grade 12, has the lead role of Valjean. He’s been a singer for some time, and got into drama and acting after a chance encounter.Two years ago, he was walking from the school’s south to the north campus when a teacher asked him to try out for the schools improvisation team, which sparked his interest in drama. Ju stin, who also plays trumpet and piano, was as- signed the task of transposing music scores. The public is invited to see ‘Les Miserables’. It runs Nov. 30, Dec. 1-2 and 7-9 at the school, at 655 Shep- pard Ave. (at Whites Road). Tickets are $12 for high school students and seniors and $15 for adults. For ticket information, call the school at 905-839-1125. Tickets will not be available at the door. You are invited to attend our second Environmental Assessment Open House to discuss Ontario Power Generation’s work on the potential refurbishment and continued operation of the Pickering B nuclear station. The potential refurbishment would involve replacing major reactor components to extend the operating life of the reactors for an additional 30 years.An Environmental Assessment (EA) will help with the early identification of any potentially significant environmental effects from refurbishment and continued operations. It also ensures appropriate mitigation measures are identified early in decision making. The open houses will include a presentation on the potential project and the federal environmental assessment process.OPG staff and expert consultants will be on hand to share information about the potential project, answer your questions and discuss next steps in the process.We look forward to seeing you there.
