trustees vote against
$138,172 bill
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — The bill is due for an
Oshawa byelection that replaced an
ineligible trustee candidate, but not
everyone at the public school board
wants to pay.
Although a motion to pay the
$138,172 bill passed, four of 11 trust-
ees voted against it during the Dur-
ham District School Board’s Aug. 27
meeting, claiming they were forced to
hold a byelection.
“I have a real problem with what
happened in Oshawa,” said Whitby
Trustee John Dolstra.
Whether it was an error by the
City clerk’s department or through
documentation provided by the Prov-
ince, allowing an ineligible trustee
candidate to run in last November’s
election was not the board’s fault, he
said.
Julia McCrea, a York Region District
School Board teacher, won a trustee
spot in the election, but under the
Education Act a trustee cannot be
employed by any school board; they
also have to take a leave of absence
during an election.
“We had no choice but to hold
a byelection,” said Trustee Dolstra,
and added, in the end, it was not the
election’s runner-up who won.
“I don’t believe it should be the
rest of us paying,” he said, citing the
other municipalities included in the
Durham District School Board - Ajax,
Pickering, Whitby, Scugog, Uxbridge,
and Brock.
“I think it should be
checked out by the minis-
try... before this board puts
out a penny.”
Ajax Trustee Lisa Hill
agreed and said other mu-
nicipalities use the same
election documentation as
Oshawa, but were able to
catch ineligible candidates.
Along with not paying the
bill, Trustee Dolstra mo-
tioned to request a full inves-
tigation by the Office of the Attorney
General into the City of Oshawa’s ac-
tions resulting in the 2007 byelection,
and to notify various ministries of its
position.
Oshawa Trustee Larry Jacula sup-
ported the motion, but his fellow
trustees Kathleen Hopper and Mi-
chael Barrett didn’t.
Trustee Hopper said she wasn’t
pleased the City of Oshawa didn’t
take any responsibility for the bye-
lection, but doesn’t think not paying
the bill is the right thing either. Ux-
bridge Trustee Joe Allin was opposed
as well.
“The board was aware of the cost
this was likely to have when we made
the decision to go ahead with a bye-
lection,” said Trustee Allin.
He also responded to Trustee Dol-
stra’s questioning of expenses asso-
ciated with the byelection,
such as $6,600 for over-
time. Trustee Allin said
it’s no wonder the public
is suspicious of elected of-
ficials “when we engage in
this kind of questioning of
each other.”
Trustee Barrett said the
board entered into a con-
tract with the City and any
attempt to not pay it could
result in it being sued,
instead of the other way
around. “I do agree with everyone
here tonight,” said Whitby Trustee
Christine Winters, and added she re-
alizes the need to pay the bill, pend-
ing an investigation.
Voting against paying the bill were
Pickering Trustee Chris Braney, and
trustees Dolstra, Hill and Jacula.
Trustee Dolstra deferred the in-
vestigation portion of his motion to
staff for a legal opinion and preferred
course of action.
Impaired
charges in
crash that
sent three
to hospital
PICKERING — Alcohol and exces-
sive speed are suspected factors in a
single-car crash in Pickering Monday
night that sent several people to hos-
pital, one of them with life-threatening
injuries, police said.
A Pickering woman faces several
charges, including impaired driving
causing bodily harm, in connection
with the crash on Altona Road south of
Whitevale Road around 10 p.m. Mon-
day, Durham police said.
Witnesses told investigating officers
they saw a southbound 1993 Toyota
Corolla lose control and leave Altona,
rolling before coming to a rest. A 22-
year-old male passenger was ejected
from the vehicle and sustained life-
threatening injuries, police said. He
remains in serious but stable condi-
tion in a Toronto hospital.
Two other people, a 20-year-old
Ajax man and the driver, a 22-year-old
Pickering woman, were helped out of
the vehicle by witnesses. They were
transported to hospital for treatment
of minor injuries, police said.

Seaton
land
exchange
complete
Four major developers
acquire more than
1,500 acres of land
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — A chunk of Seaton
land in Pickering is now out of the
Province’s hands and in those of four
major developers.
The provincial government intro-
duced the Oak Ridges Moraine Con-
servation Act in 2001, an agreement
between landowners and the Province
to exchange sensitive moraine lands
in Richmond Hill for publicly owned
lands in Seaton. Now, that land has
been exchanged between the Province
and four developers, who have ac-
quired a total of 1,525 acres of Seaton
land in Pickering. The director of the
central regional office of municipal af-
fairs and housing explained the Prov-
ince received just more than 1,000
acres of land in Richmond Hill and just
more than 1,300 acres in Uxbridge.
“Both those lands are environmen-
tally sensitive lands - they’re on the
Moraine - and they will be held in
public ownership from now on and
not developed,” Larry Clay said.
Pickering Ward 1 City Councillor
Jennifer O’Connell worries the Seaton
lands are not as protected as those in
the Oak Ridges Moraine, and believes
they’re just as environmentally sen-
sitive. She said Seaton contains the
last cold water streams in the Greater
Toronto Area, which play an integral
part of the system of streams and aqui-
fers that end up in Lake Ontario and
Frenchman’s Bay.
“We have this sensitive land and it’s
just been swapped by the Province,”
she said.
Mr. Clay said Seaton’s environmen-
tal aspects are taken into account, and
it is protected by the Central Pickering
Development Plan (CPDP). He said
more than 50 per cent of it is protected
from development, typically around
“natural water courses, streams and
other natural features.”
Coun. O’Connell believes the devel-
opment of Seaton, especially adding
70,000 new people, will hurt existing
taxpayers in Pickering since everything

Suggestions for helping
youngsters settle in their
new environment
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Who’s the teacher? Will
they be nice? And where is the bath-
room?
For little kids, these are some of the
biggest worries when attending a new
school, said Mark Joel, superintendent
of operations and transportation at the
Durham District School Board. With
school just days away, he offered some
tips on how students can be made
more comfortable.
One of the biggest things to make
kids feel more comfortable can be
meeting their teacher.
“Particularly for younger students,
the teacher takes on the role of a sur-
rogate parent,” said Mr. Joel.
Before school starts, parents can call
the school or stop by with their child to
register, get student handbooks, take a
tour of the building, and possibly meet
the teacher. He also advised parents
to become involved with the teacher
right away. “(Teachers) have that deep
connection,” said Mr. Joel.
By communicating with them, par-
ents can find out how their child is
doing and how they can get involved
with school activities, clubs, and other
kids. He added when parents are
comfortable with the teacher and the
school, it helps relax the children.
“The anxieties of the parent are worn
by the student,” said Mr. Joel. “If mom
and dad are comfortable, chances are
the kids are going to be comfortable.”
The teacher can also help pair them
with bus buddies or people to walk
home with, as well as class partners
who share common interests and can
become friends. Building those con-
nections can help kids figure out where
they belong and fit in, said Mr. Joel.
Parents can also walk to school with
kids ahead of time, or to the bus stop
and ensure they have their route num-
ber to help comfort them; he recom-
mends being at the stop five minutes
early. Going over the school routine a
few days before starting can be ben-
eficial as well. For the first couple of
days, parents can also pack something
special in their lunch or a note, and re-
assure them at the beginning and end
of each day. Mr. Joel suggests problem
solving with them if things aren’t going
well. Figuring out where they fit in is
important to kids, he said.
“What you want to see is that look in
their eye that says I’ve had a great day,”
said Mr. Joel, and that’s when they’ll
be comfortable doing school work and
excel.
DURHAM — When high school stu-
dents board public transit buses this
school year, they can do so temporarily
at a discounted rate.
Through a partnership between the
Durham District School Board and the
Region of Durham, public secondary
school students can take the bus to
school for less during a three-month
trial period.
Restricted monthly passes will be
available for three months starting in
October for $43, compared to the cur-
rent $65 rate.
“So it’s a significant decrease,” said
Lynda Smith, chief administration of-
ficer for Durham Student Transporta-
tion Services (DSTS), responsible for
managing transportation for Durham’s
public and Catholic school boards.
“For some parents, it is a hardship
when they have more than one stu-
dent,” said Ms. Smith of the current
price.
The Durham Catholic District
School Board provides a free pass for
its students if they live 3.2 km or more
from school.
“It is a pilot project, so we really
want students and parents to take ad-
vantage of it,” said Ms. Smith. It will be
reviewed after the three months.
This school year also brings lots of
time changes for Durham Region bus
routes, especially for schools with bell
time changes.
“Some parents will be seeing some
changes on bus pickup and drop-offs,”
said Ms. Smith. Some stops will also be
amalgamated.
During the first few days back, buses
could run a little late, said Ms. Smith,
who asked parents to be patient.
Parents can call 905-666-6979 to find
out where their bus stops are, 24 hours
a day, seven days a week.

What’s new in student transportation
Safety tips
• Remember to take big steps away
from the bus
• If you have to cross the street, the
driver will say when it’s safe
• If you drop anything near the bus,
don’t pick it up – tell the driver and
they will
• Be on time - try not to be late and
running for the bus, increasing the
likelihood of tripping
• A student is too close to the bus if
they can touch its side
• Sit on the bus looking forward and
put school bags under the seat
has to be in place before they move in.
She believes they will have to cover the
costs.
Mayor Dave Ryan, however, is ex-
cited about the land exchange since
the development of Seaton has been
on the City’s agenda for many years.
“This is a very exciting challenge that
is before us and we are looking forward
to the opportunity to show how the
City of Pickering is able to develop a
sustainable community,” he said. He
added the Province will have to ensure
the services are in place ahead of time,
employment lands along Hwy. 407 are
serviced, and commit to “prestige”
employment, so people won’t have to
resort to other areas, such as York Re-
gion and Toronto, for employment.
Mayor Ryan said the environmental
aspects have been well documented,
and remain in the forefront of future
plans. And although the CPDP is a pro-
vincial plan, private interests will now
have to work with City staff to ensure
the plans are the best possible in terms
of the environment, the economy and
social impacts on the municipality.
“Our job now is to take the plan to
the next level with the developers and
build the best possible product,” he
said. He said there will most likely be
a full range of housing options from
rental to affordable housing to single-
family units.
Fast facts
The big four landowners are: Metrus
Development Inc., Lebovic Enterprises,
Mattamy Homes Limited and Joey Tanen-
baum.
In 2002, David Crombie chaired the
North Pickering Land Exchange Review
Panel to recommend a set of principles
to guide the exchange, valuation and fu-
ture development of the North Pickering
lands.
The Moraine is the source of drinking
water for approximately 250,000 people
and the starting point of 65 streams in
Southern Ontario.
The road was closed for several
hours as the collision investigation
unit examined the site. They conclud-
ed speed and alcohol were likely fac-
tors in the crash.
Tara Elizabeth Columbus, 22, of
Moorelands Crescent in Pickering is
charged with two counts of impaired
driving causing bodily harm, two
counts of dangerous driving causing
bodily harm and driving while exceed-
ing the legal blood-alcohol limit. She
was held for a bail hearing Tuesday.

Consultants claim Region
hasn’t released reports
on traffic, air and
groundwater impact
By Jennifer Stone
jstone@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Submitting the envi-
ronmental assessment without having
determined either technology or site
makes no sense, says an opponent to the
proposal to build an energy from waste
incinerator in Durham.
Clarington’s peer review of work done
to date on the environmental assess-
ment (EA) aimed at potentially siting an
incinerator in the municipality points
out not only that, but a number of other
concerns, said Linda Gasser.
Clarington staff will present the find-
ings of the peer review, which was avail-
able to the public late last week, to the
General Purpose and Administration
Committee during the Sept. 4, 7 p.m.,
meeting.
The peer review was ordered by Clar-
ington council to independently evalu-
ate work done so far by the regions of
Durham and York on the proposed en-
ergy from waste, or incinerator, project.
“I’m concerned that they’re considering
submitting the EA ...prior to the informa-
tion about vendor or technology being
available,” said Ms. Gasser, a long-time
vocal opponent to the incinerator.
“The specific emissions and impacts
cannot really be known without know-
ing the site or technology,” she said.
The peer review points out a number
of concerns, including some about how
short-listed sites -- all but one of which
were located in Clarington -- were deter-
mined.
One consultant’s report “noted that
the then draft terms of reference unfairly
prejudiced the site search in favour of
lands owned by the two regional govern-
ments, in particular the significant area
of land owned by the Region of Durham
near the Courtice waterfront,” says the
staff report.
There are also concerns raised about
how certain lands were either left out or
brought in to consideration, notes the
report.
Eventual size of the potential facility,
as well as concerns about how such a
facility could impact development of a
planned science park in Courtice, near
one of the short-listed sites, are also
raised as problematic in the report. As
well, a number of studies, including traf-
fic impact analysis, archeological assess-
ment, air and groundwater monitoring,
the environmental impact study, land
use, infrastructure and servicing assess-
ments, were not released to Clarington
by the regions, says the report.
The staff report says the reports not
released by the Region must be given out
with sufficient time for comment from
the Municipality and other interested
parties, said the report. As well, Claring-
ton must know how making a declara-
tion on whether it is a willing host to
such a facility will be weighted in site
selection before making such comment.
East Gwillimbury, where the only short-
listed site outside Clarington is located,
has stated it will not be a willing host.
That will, to some extent, be determined
by site and technology selection, said the
report.

DURHAM — As post-second-
ary newcomers prepare to shell out
money for tuition, books, and laptops,
current students have some tips to
help them stretch their summer
savings.
Tip one, don’t rely fully
on your loans, said Shelly
Harish, a fourth-year
criminology student at
the University of Ontar-
io Institute of Technol-
ogy (UOIT).
“A part-time job would be
good,” said Nimrit Dyal, Shelly’s
classmate. Ms. Harish also warned
students not to rely just on having a
summer job either.
University student Samara Persaud
works three part-time jobs and goes to
school.
“I think working part-time is pos-
sible,” said Ms. Persaud. “Plus, I think
it helps you to organize.”
Students should also set a budget
for themselves that includes living ex-
penses, travel costs, weekly entertain-
ment, food and transportation, said
Ms. Dyal and Ms. Harish.
Ms. Dyal lived off campus and got
bored really quickly, so
she made ran-
dom shopping
trips to stay
entertained - with-
out a budget. She
quickly ended up
in debt.
She also ran into
food challenges, al-
though initially she
thought she’d save money
by living out of residence and with-
out a meal plan. Ms. Dyal spent more
on groceries.
“You really need to have a set bud-
get and (grocery) schedule,” she said.
Ms. Persaud suggested students
don’t purchase campus food and in-
stead bring their own meals to school
or have pot lucks with friends if they
live in residence.
For Ms. Harish, not buying a park-
ing pass turned out to be a mistake.
Since she only had classes three days
a week, she opted to buy visitor passes
and ended up spending a lot more.
Ms. Harish said she hadn’t account-
ed for the study and homework trips
she’d be making to the school as well.
Ms. Dyal also raised a red flag re-
garding transportation.
“Don’t take a taxi, use the bus be-
cause it’s free if you have a U-pass (au-
tomatically added to fees at Durham
College and UOIT), said Ms. Dyal.
Ms. Persaud suggested carpooling to
school.
To save money on books, Ms. Per-
saud borrowed text books from York
Region’s public library.
And Ms. Dyal’s last tip - take care
of your laptop and return it on time
if you go to UOIT to avoid getting hit
with fees and repair costs.
Don’t rely on loans to make post-secondary ends meet: students
Oct. 15 is the deadline
for first semester clubs
DURHAM — Be it cheer-leading or
campus church, the Student Associa-
tion for Durham College, Trent Uni-
versity, and the University of Ontario
Institute of Technology (UOIT) has
clubs for a variety of interests.
And, if something students would
like to see is missing, they can add it
themselves and receive $500 in fund-
ing to get started.
“Last year we had about 65 clubs
– that’s up from about five clubs four
years ago,” said Fraser McArthur,
president of the Student Association.
Club registration forms and infor-
mation about them are available by
visiting the Student Association on
campus or its website.
All clubs have to be inclusive and
open to Trent, Durham College, and
UOIT students, even if the school’s
name is in the title.
They also need at least five mem-
bers for ratification.
“Generally, the main mandate is
we want to say yes to all students that
apply,” said Mr. McArthur.
The Student Association checks
to ensure there is no overlapping in
clubs and, if there is, it tries to get the
students to work together.
“Clubs are great here for the stu-
dent life,” said Mr. McArthur.
A list of clubs is available at your-
sa.ca.
Mr. Fraser said new ones may be
introduced on a weekly basis.
Clubs can help ease transition to college

Grade 5 and 6 classes
can be part of special
website project with
durhamregion.com
and 680 News
DURHAM — Hey kids and teachers! As you
get ready to head back to school, here’s an op-
portunity for your Grade 5 or 6 class to be part
of a fun project this year.
Metroland Durham Region Media Group
is looking for nine classes throughout Dur-
ham Region who are interested in producing a
weekly weather webcast for one month during
the school year for our website, durhamregion.
com.
It’s a great way for students to learn about
this new form of media, practise research and
writing skills, improve public speaking and
work as a team to produce the weekly weather
forecast.
Before classes start their projects, Metro-
land’s videographer Stefanie Swinson and me-
teorologist Jill Taylor from 680 News will visit
the chosen classrooms, explaining their jobs
and providing students with tips for the web-
casts.
Each webcast will include the weekend
weather forecast and one other news items
such as a “streeter” in which a Junior Web-
caster will ask classmates about a given topic,
a report on weather patterns for the coming
month or a news report on an environmental
initiative in the school.
As Junior Webcasters, students will research
and write the scripts for the weekly 3-minute
webcasts, create the set and appear on camera.
The webcast will be filmed and produced by
the Metroland Durham Region Media Group
on Thursday afternoons.
Students will be invited to assist the videog-
raphers in the filming. A new weather webcast
will air on our website, durhamregion.com,
every Friday.
And one lucky student from each class will
get the chance to visit 680 News, taking a tour
with Ms. Taylor.
To enter, ask your teacher to us send an e-
mail explaining in 100 words or less why your
Grade 5 or 6 class should be chosen as Junior
Weather Webcasters.
Entries must include the teacher’s name,
name of school, school address and a daytime
phone number.
E-mail them to interactive@durhamregion.
com by Sept. 14. Winners will be notified Sept.
17 and given their webcast month assignments
with the first in-class visit being Sept. 26 for the
October webcasts.

Students can let Durham know about the weather
R ecently there was a
newspaper story about a
woman who planned to
crawl, in her wedding dress, for
eight hours to mark her failed
marriage. Dressed in white, veil
and all, hands and knees, to
eight different ‘stations’ around
the city, commemorating her
eight years of Wedded Hiss. Sort
of a ‘Via Divorce-osa’.
Why, one might ask? Well,
aside from the obvious laughs
inherent in such a venture, ap-
parently she needs to rid herself
of the ‘emotional baggage ... in
order to be truly ready for a new
relationship. This, by the way,
from a marriage that purport-
edly ended very amicably. No
abuse, no maltreatment, no al-
coholic rage. Some people can
find baggage anywhere I sup-
pose. Some people love bag-
gage. All I can say is, God help
the next guy she meets.
In fairness, I should point
out that this woman is also a
‘performance artist’. I love that
title. I love performance artists.
These are the people who rent
Massey Hall so they can protest
the plight of the nearly extinct
African Horned Puss Worm by
taking a bowel movement on
stage in front of 10,000 paying
customers. Wow, the medium is
the message, I suppose.
One can only ponder how
much fun marriage to people
like this must be.
‘Honey can you take the kids
to soccer practice?’
‘Of course I can’t take the kids
to soccer practice! Can’t you see
I’m creating?’
‘I thought you were creating
all morning.’
‘Oh you plebe...that wasn’t
creating, that was pondering...’
‘Oh’
‘You’re standing in my aura!’
‘Sorry.’
Because I’m a man, I also can’t
help but wonder what the male
equivalent of this ‘divorce crawl’
might be? Probably a brisk stroll
to the nearest wing joint, fol-
lowed, several hours later, by a
crawl home.
We’ve all met people like
this crawling woman. Most of
them haven’t gotten to the point
where they actually label them-
selves ‘performance artists’, but
that is, essentially, what they are.
For people like this it’s all about
the drama. They drink pain and
breathe upset. They’re never
truly happy until they’re wretch-
ed. And even that wouldn’t be
so bad, I guess, if they didn’t feel
constantly compelled to share
their misery with the rest of us.
Isn’t there enough drama in
the world, real drama, without
having to cook some up where
none really exists?
The crawling lady apparently
has been training for this jaunt
for more than six months, the
last month and a half spent ac-
tually crawling, in gymnasiums,
parks and on the street. Her ex,
too, has been involved, gener-
ously creating a re-mix of their
wedding song as a sound track
for the film of this silliness.
I can’t imagine how much
energy it will take this woman
to crawl for eight hours around
the streets of Toronto on a hot
August day. Not to mention the
amount of energy and focus
put into planning, publicizing,
filming and mounting a web-
site for the whole fiasco. What
is interesting to consider how-
ever is what that amount of
energy, imagination, creativity
and passion might have done
to keep her marriage together
eight years ago. But there’s not
much drama in a marriage that
works is there? And who wants
to watch that?

actor-comic-writer, saves some
of his best lines for his columns.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Passive Canadian
laws amaze reader
To the editor:
Re: Man given five years for
‘callous’ sex attacks, Aug. 24 News
Advertiser.
Have we all gone completely
mad? Refugee will likely be de-
ported? I have always been a
proud Canadian but this passive
attitude is no longer acceptable!
Why was this refugee not de-
ported back to Afghanistan the
first time he sexually assaulted
a woman? Why would he be de-
ported back after his sentence?
I guess us good ole Canadians
are happy to pay for his five-
year stint first, after we have al-
lowed him to assault and ruin
the lives of six more Canadian
women, which could have been
prevented if he was deported the
first time.
It amazes me further, that in
2007 this gentleman gets a fine
and probation for his first sex-
ual assault. He must feel right
at home here in Canada as we
give our women almost as much
respect as they do in Afghani-
stan. What part of assault did
they miss? It would seem a fine
and probation would probably
be given for stealing a chocolate
bar, or smoking a joint. He seems
to be embracing our culture by
disrespecting our women, deny-
ing all guilt and understanding
our language with the help of an
interpreter after five years, he’ll
fit right in.

Funding faith-based
schools is fair
To the editor:
Re: ‘Tory’s stand just a ploy for
votes’, Aug 19. News Advertiser.
Ontario would never provide
a health service to Catholics ex-
clusively due to their large num-
bers, so I am astounded by Crys-
tal Crimi’s suggestion that since
Ontario has so many Catholics,
they deserve school funding
while all other faiths do not.
Ms. Crimi would have us
believe that fully funding only
Catholic schools is an accept-
able part of our history. She is
referring to the Constitution Act
of 1867 when funding was guar-
anteed to protect the minor-
ity Catholics until Grade 9, with
Premier Davis extending fund-
ing through high school. Con-
doning the funding of Catholic
schools exclusively as a histori-
cal necessity is absurd - at the
time our original Constitution
was drafted, women were de-
nied the vote!
Quebec, Manitoba, Alberta
and British Columbia all sub-
sidize faith-based schools. Ms.
Crimi’s suggestion that public
schools provide optional faith
programs before and after
school is not a new one. These
programs are already available
in many communities, although
not organized by the school
boards. While teaching some of
the basics of religion, language
and culture, this type of pro-
gramming in no way compares
with a faith-based education
where the entire day is sensitive
to clothing, diet, and holidays
while focused on one faith. The
general studies program is often
taught at an accelerated rate to
make time for international lan-
guage and religious studies.
All faiths pay taxes and should
be welcome to join the public
school system, provided stan-
dards and accountability are
met. When our Constitution was
drafted, women were unable to
vote or hold public office. Lucky
for Ms. Crimi that politicians like
John Tory showed leadership to
make the necessary changes so
that our laws evolved to reflect
more progressive thought! Isn’t
it ironic that Ms. Crimi herself
shows such willingness to resist
changes that would encourage
fairness?

Once again, no
transit dough
for Durham
Time to get serious about
the region’s growing needs
You can be forgiven if you think the Greater Toronto Area some-
times has its eastern border at the city of Toronto and York
Region.
Once again, and this is a common theme going back a decade and
more, Durham Region is the forgotten cousin in the Greater Toronto
scheme of things. And this time even neighbouring Hamilton-Went-
worth is part of the plan where our region is not.
We’re speaking of the latest pitch by the newly reinvigorated
Greater Toronto Transit Authority (GTTA) to push for $100 million in
government funding to boost public transit in the GTA.
The plan would include such Green-friendly items as: bike racks
on all buses, 1,000 weatherproof bike lockers across the region, a new
transit terminal in Markham, an online trip planner, and expanded
GO train service on the Lakeshore, Milton and Georgetown lines. It
would also include, according to Durham Regional Chairman Roger
Anderson, expansion of Hamilton’s bus service to that city’s airport.
Not surprisingly, given that the ambitious initiatives apparently
bypass Durham Region, Mr. Anderson isn’t overly thrilled by them.
Perhaps the fact that the GTTA chairman, Rob MacIsaac, is the for-
mer mayor of Burlington and that he made the $100-million proposal
announcement in Mississauga last week could lead some to wonder
about a pro-west GTA bias. Just an observation.
Durham Region, growing fast beyond the 600,000 mark, is long
used to being neglected. From inadequate hospital funding to a lack
of highway expansion, this region has been left lagging when it comes
time to spend provincial and federal money. It was notable that last
spring’s provincial budget, while announcing ambitious funding
plans for York and Peel regions and the City of Toronto with regard to
transit, promised virtually nothing for Durham other than some stray
planning cash.
It says here the GTTA should go back to the drawing board and look
for ways to bring Durham more centrally into the mix. Sure, we’re not
as populous as Peel and York regions, but we are the gateway to the
eastern part of the province, indeed of the country, and it’s vital we
not be forgotten.
Politicians and leaders, be they at Queen’s Park or with the GTTA or
any other provincially constituted body, have to remember Durham
isn’t located next to Kingston, it’s hard by Toronto. We’re just minutes,
not hours away. It’s time to treat us that way when it comes to transit.

DURHAM — Every penny counts
and Girls Inc. is bringing that mes-
sage to the young women of Dur-
ham.
On Saturday, Sept. 15, from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m., it hosts a Money Talks
Family Literacy Workshop.
“It really is designed to explore
the messages about money we re-
ceive as we grow up and how that
impacts how we spend our money,”
said Tracey McCannell, the program
co-ordinator for Girls Inc.
Girls aged nine to 14 and a parent,
guardian, grandparent or mentor
are invited to participate in the re-
search-based workshop where they
will explore budgeting and money
management.
“We’ll be talking about the value of
the dollar, especially in this genera-
tion where we want to give our kids
everything,” Ms. McCannell said.
“This is the second time we offered
it and it was very successful the first
time around.”
Adults will examine the messages
they received about money and how
this may influence girls’ attitudes
about money. Girls have the oppor-
tunity to understand the concept of
budgeting money and to develop a
sense of control over their money.
The free workshop is at the Girls
Inc. office at 398 Bayly St. in Ajax.
Space is limited to eight pairs and
registration is required by calling
905-428-8111.
Girls Incorporated of Durham
aims to empower girls and young
women to believe in themselves and
reach their full potential through
programs, education, and mentor-
ing relationships.

Ajax teen a champ
at Canada Cup
AJAX — An Ajax trampolinist com-
peted against many of the top athletes in
Canada in the sport and emerged victori-
ous at the recent Canada Cup event in
Hamilton from Aug. 16 to 19.
Competing in the national novice
men’s 15+ category, Brandon Robinson
battled with former Ajacian Thomas Cham-
bers for top spot
in the division.
After Cham-
bers finished atop
the category in
the preliminar-
ies, just ahead of
Robinson, the two
would perform in
reverse order in
the final routine.
Robinson posted
strong marks put-
ting the pressure on Thomas, and he could
not answer back, leaving Robinson with the
gold medal. He finished 1.1 points ahead of
second-place-finisher Chambers.
The gold-medal effort helped establish
Robinson as one of the top performers
in his age group. Battling illness while
competing at nationals in Regina in May, he
finished fourth.
Moreover, his score during preliminar-
ies at the Canada Cup was a qualifying
score for the World Age Group Champion-
ships.
Leading up to the Canada Cup, Rob-
inson trained four times a week at the
Skyriders Trampoline Place in Richmond
Hill under the guidance of coach Allison
Tanaka.
Robinson is currently preparing for
the upcoming competitive season and is
focusing on more difficult tricks, with the
intention of qualifying for the youth level in
the fall.

Pickering’s Henry
misses world final
PICKERING — After strong efforts
in the heats and the quarter-final round of
the men’s 100 metres, Pickering’s Anson
Henry fell just short of advancing to the
final of the event at the 2007 IAAF Track
and Field Championships in Osaka, Japan.
In the 100 metre semifinals on Sunday,
Henry finished sixth in a time of 10.20
seconds, which was a mere two one
hundredths of a second behind the final
qualifier in the race. The final qualifier in
the heat, Olusoji A.
Fasuba, of Nigeria,
ran 10.18.
Running in
the preliminary
heats on Saturday,
Henry finished
second in Heat 4 in
a time of 10.31. He
was one of three
qualifiers from the
heat that won was
by Richard Thomp-
son of Trinidad and
Tobago in 10.29.
In the quarter-finals, also run on Sat-
urday, Henry advanced to the semifinals
after placing third in Race 3 in a time of
10.20. The race was won by Churandy
Martina of the Dutch Antilles in 10.10. Mark
Lewis-Francis of Great Britain was second
in 10:17 seconds.
American Tyson Gay was the eventual
winner of the 100 metre final in 9.85.
Henry will now represent Canada in
the men’s 4-x-100-metre relay, with the
heats to begin on Saturday.
[ Hockey ]
Local NHLers sign
new contracts
DURHAM — Two local National Hock-
ey League players have recently signed
contracts for the coming season.
John Erskine, who grew up and played
his minor hockey in Ajax, signed a two-year
contract with the Washington Capitals.
The 6-foot, 4-inch, 216-pound defence-
man played part of last season with the
Washington Capitals as a free agent where
he played 29 games and accumulated
seven points (one goal, six assists).
Erskine played parts of four seasons
with the Dallas Stars, starting in the 2001-
02 season. He played 34 games with the
New York Islanders in the 2005-06 season,
where the stay-at-home defenceman
scored one goal.
Meanwhile, Pickering resident Sean
Avery received a new contract from the
New York Rangers after an arbitration
hearing earlier this year.
Prior to joining the Rangers last year,
Avery played for parts of four seasons for
the Los Angeles Kings. He also spent two
seasons with the Detroit Red Wings, help-
ing the Wings win the Stanley Cup during
the 2001-02 season.
Perdita in world hurdles final
Pickering Olympian
advances from
100-metre hurdles
semifinals in Osaka
with season’s best time
PICKERING — Pickering’s Perdita
Felicien has a shot at gold at the
World Track and Field Champion-
ships after post-
ing her best
time of the sea-
son in the 100-
metre hurdles
semifinal in
Osaka, Japan on
Tuesday.
The final
goes today
(Wednesday) at
approximately
6:35 a.m. ET.
Felicien ran in the second semifi-
nal race, finishing second in a time
of 12.61 seconds behind American
Michelle Perry, who won in 12.55.
The semifinal was the fastest of the
two, as the first semifinal winner,
Susanna Kallur of Sweden, won in
12.64.
After Tuesday’s semifinal, Felicien
noted on the Osaka championship
website that after taking care out of
the blocks, she found her rhythm
and after establishing a season’s best
time has set herself up well for a
good shot at a medal.
“I didn’t purposely stay in the
blocks so long but I had to be cau-
tious. I’m excited, if I can put it to-
gether in the final I’ll be a contender
for the gold. But looking from where
I’d come from, I would be happy
with any colour.”
Meanwhile, Perry, in her post-race
comments, dismissed any thought of
it being a battle with Felicien for the
gold on Wednesday.
“Final is for me the duel between
myself and the hurdles. We will be
three from U.S. in there so why not
a sweep?” she says, noting fellow
Americans LoLo Jones and Virginia
Powell also qualified for the final.
And, so did Canadian Angela
Whyte, of Edmonton, who finished
second in the first semifinal in 12.65,
behind race-winner Kallur.
The women’s 100m hurdles final
will be run on Felicien’s 27th birth-
day.
A gold medal in Wednesday’s final
would represent Felicien’s third at
the world championships. She won
outdoor gold in 2003 in Paris and
also won the world indoor 60m hur-
dles title in Budapest in 2004.

Rock falls to Sherwood Park at Canadian championships
Outlaws edge
Ajax-Pickering 8-6
in Presidents Cup
senior ‘B’ lacrosse final
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Drenched with sweat
and wearing a tattered and torn sweat-
er he once donned for the Brampton
Excelsiors and now wears under his
current jersey as a good-luck charm,
Ajax-Pickering Rock captain Jim Velt-
man emerged from a sombre dressing
room.
The 41-year-old long-time pro shook
hands with and briefly consoled head
coach Paul St. John after an exhausting
and bruising Presidents Cup of senior
‘B’ lacrosse
final in Owen
Sound on Sat-
urday night.
For the
second time
this season, the
Rock were runners-up. Second best in
Ontario after being swept by the Owen
Sound Woodsmen in the final series.
And, despite the Rock’s best effort
to keep the Presidents Cup, symbol-
ic of the Canadian senior ‘B’ lacrosse
championship, in Ontario, the title will
now reside in Sherwood Park, Alberta,
near Edmonton, for the next year after
a strong and physical Outlaws squad
outlasted the Rock 8-6 in the title game
at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Commu-
nity Centre.
The championship match between
two evenly matched squads featured
spirted play, plenty of power-play goals
and several lead changes throughout
the course of the contest.
With the victory, Sherwood Park went
wire-to-wire at the Presidents Cup tour-
nament, going undefeated throughout
the week-long event en route to the
national title with a 6-0 mark.
The power play proved a double-
edged sword for the Rock. They dined
out with the man-advantage, scoring
three of their six goals on the power
play. But, Sherwood Park also took full
advantage of the man advantage, scor-
ing four times, including the game win-
ner off the stick of Ben Prepchuk with
14:48 remaining in the third period. It
was Prepchuk’s fourth goal of the cham-
pionship final.
The Rock led by as much as 3-1 in
the first period, but gave it all back in
rapid succession with Prepchuk scoring
on the power play at the seven-minute
mark. Just more than a minute later,
Prepchuk scored again on Rock starter
Steve Dietrich on a solo effort as he ran
unimpeded to the net to knot the score
at 3-3.
After falling behind 6-4 in the second
period and lifting Dietrich in favour of
Mike Miron with 14:07 remaining in
the second, the Rock battled back to tie
the game at 6-6 with Joel Johnson scor-
ing his second goal of the game on the
power play midway through the second
period and Jamie Plunkett netting the
tying goal early in the third.
After Prepchuk’s dagger to the Rock’s
heart at the 5:12 mark of the third, the
Outlaws added an insurance marker by
Kevin Howard with 1:58 remaining to
secure the Sherwood Park victory.
Rock head coach Paul St. John could
barely contain his emotions after
emerging from the dressing room after
commiserating with a downcast group
of players following the hard-fought
final.
St. John praised his players for their
gutsy effort that fell just short of the
mark.
“I thought we played really well. Their
game plan was obviously as good as our
game plan and on this night it had to
be a bit better and it was. We knew we
would be playing a game with a lot of
momentum swings and sure enough
there was. We had them 3-1 early in the
game and looking good and then all
of the sudden we let them back in the
game. We couldn’t get the lead back up
again.
“As a coach, all you can ask from the

players is they play with heart and play
their hearts out. We had a game plan,
we stuck to it and they gave everything
they could possibly give. Some of them
gave more than they ever thought they
would. It’s tough.”
St John gave kudos to Sherwood Park,
noting they were a team on a mission in
the tournament.
“Sherwood Park was tremendous.
They were that good all week. They’re a
team that never, ever lost focus,” he says.
“They were the better team today and
you have to tip your hat to them. They
should be proud of their efforts.”
Mark Craig, Wayne Burke and Josh
Black were the other Rock goal scorers
in the final.
Jim Veltman, named as the tourna-
ment’s MVP and a first-team all-star,
had two assists in the final.
Ajax-Pickering, the second Ontar-
io entry at the national tournament,
started the tournament on Monday and
ended round-robin play on Thursday
night with a 3-1 record, good enough for
first place in Group 1. After losing 9-8
to Sherwood Park in its opening con-
test, the Rock rebounded to defeat the
Ladner Pioneers 12-6, the Akwesasne
Island Redmen 19-0 and the Six Nations
Sting 13-2.
The Rock advanced to the final after
upending the Ladner Pioneers 9-4 in
the semifinal contest.
Mark Craig led the Rock in Presidents
Cup round-robin play scoring with 16
points (eight goals, eight assists).
Goaltender Steve Dietrich and Shawn
Summerfield were named to the Presi-
dents Cup second team all-star squad.

Panthers look sharp after slow start
New Pickering coach
Joslin says players have
picked up the pace
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — New Pickering Pan-
thers’ head coach Mark Joslin is be-
ginning to like what he sees at the
Pickering Panthers’ training camp.
But, that hasn’t always been the
case.
In fact, Joslin admits he was none
too happy at the beginning of the
OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’
Hockey Club’s camp last week, with
the pace being too slow -- much too
plodding for his liking.
“The camp started slow, the ice
conditions were rough and some of
the guys were rusty and nervous. I
wasn’t pleased,” says Joslin.
But, he’s happy to report the pace
has picked up considerably since the
beginning. And, so far in pre-season
action, the Panthers are a sterling 2-
0 in games against the Bowmanville
Eagles and the Cobourg Cougars.
As expected, rookies vying for
a chance to impress and possibly
stick with the club manned the ros-
ter through both exhibition games
-- a 6-3 win over the Cougars at the
Pickering Recreation Complex last
Thursday and a 4-2 win over the
Eagles in Bowmanville on Sunday.
Most importantly, though, Joslin
has been pleasantly surprised by
some of the rookies in camp and in
the exhibition games.
Ben Calma, a goaltender with the
Markham Majors midgets last sea-
son, got the start against Cobourg
and was effective.
“I’ve been impressed with the
way he’s been playing,” says Joslin
of Calma, who’s been signed by the
club and will share duties with vet-
eran Connor Sampson.
He also mentioned centreman
Brendan Muise, who played with
the Toronto Red Wings midgets last
season, and Jordan Ramsay, a for-
ward with the Ajax-Pickering Raid-
ers minor midgets last year, as being
particularly strong in the exhibition
games.
Ramsay potted two goals against
Bowmanville Sunday night, playing
on a line with veteran forwards Jamie
MacQueen and Brad Fleishman.
As for the defence corps, which will
be completely
revamped this
season because
all six rear-
guards from
last season have
moved on, Jos-
lin says he’s less
apprehensive
about the blue
line with the
emergence of
Thomas Long-
land, who played with the St. Catha-
rines junior ‘B’ squad last season, in
the pre-season.
“He’s played well on the back end
and should be an exciting player for
us this year,” says Joslin. “We’ll be
looking to him for leadership this
year.”
The Pan-
thers will as-
sign veteran
Scott Brown to
blue-line duty
this season.
He operated
mostly as a for-
ward last year.
He’ll be joined
on the blue line
by signees Mike
Perry from Richmond Hill in the
GMHL, Luca Penzo of the Toronto
Young Nat midgets, and Ryan Gold-
berg of the Toronto Red Wing midg-
ets.
In terms of veteran Panthers play-
ers, MacQueen, Fleishman, Brendan
Hann and Daniel Mandel have been
strong out of the gate thus far.
“These four veterans have played
well in the exhibitions, even though
they have a spot on the team,” he
says. “Fleishman will be leaving for
OHL camp in London and has played
extremely well. He wants to make it
in London but, if he doesn’t there’s
a spot here on this hockey team for
him.”
The forward lines will be populat-
ed by returning veterans Chad Beal,
Mike Mcfarlane and Greg Payne.
The Panthers have also signed An-
drew Howes of the Toronto Red
Wing midgets, Stan Smrke of the
North York Rangers midgets and
Blake Boddy from the Ajax-Pickering
Raiders midgets. Pickering has also
committed to Ajax-Pickering minor
midget Andy Andreoff, the fifth-
round draft choice of the Oshawa
Generals. He’s currently at the Gen-
erals’ training camp and will return
to the Panthers if the Generals cut
loose the local forward.
Fleishman led the Panthers with
a hat trick and an assist against Co-
bourg on Thursday.
Scoring against Bowmanville on
Sunday were Ramsay with two goals,
including a short-handed marker.
MacQueen, also with a short-handed
goal, and defenceman Goldberg had
the other marker.
The Panthers play their final pre-
season contest against the Eagles on
Thursday at the Pickering Recreation
Complex at 7:30 p.m.
Prior to the beginning of the OP-
JAHL regular-season, the Panthers
compete in a tournament at Mer-
cyhurst College in Erie, Penn. from
Sept. 7 to 9.
At the Mercyhurst tourney, Pick-
ering’s slated to play games against
the New England Huskies and New
York Applecore of the Eastern Junior
Hockey League, and the New York
Bobcats and the Philadelphia Little
Flyers of the Atlantic Junior Hockey
League. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo
Kyle McCrae, right, of the Cobourg Cougars narrowly escapes a check from a flying Cole Watkins of the Pickering Panthers during
OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League pre-season action at the Pickering Recreation Complex last Thursday. The Panthers
prevailed over Cobourg 6-2. Pickering is currently 2-0 in the pre-season. They play the Bowmanville Eagles at the complex on Thurs-
day at 7:30 p.m.Panthers’
Postscript
Last week, the Panthers completed
a trade with the Ajax Attack where
they obtained forward Tyler
Hauer...The Panthers have signed
veteran Cody Smith but his On-
tario Hockey League rights have
been traded from the Brampton
Battalion to the London Knights.
Smith is currently in London assess-
ing his opportunity with the Knights...
Veteran forward Greg Riggs hasn’t
participated in camp or the pre-sea-
son as yet as he’s currently nursing
a knee injury suffered while playing
ball hockey... With no defenceman
returning from the 2006-07 season,
the Panthers would still like to add
two veteran rearguards, if not be-
fore the season, soon after...

Waiting with the ball
PICKERING — Team East’s Joanne Perrier tried to steal home, but was turned back. When Team West’s catcher Holly Keeler made
an error throwing to third, Perrier made it home to score a run during the Pickering Recreational Fastball Association ladies’ divi-
sion all-star game at Dunmoore Park Saturday. The East beat the West 13-11 while, in the men’s game, the East won 7-2.
DURHAM — Four Ajax and Pickering
hockey players helped their respective
national teams post wins over their
American counterparts in a series
played over the weekend.
Forward Jenn Wakefield
and defenceman Cristin
Allen played for Canada’s
national under-22 women’s
hockey team during a three-
game series against the U.S.
in Lake Placid at the Olympic
Center. The Canadians swept
the series.
Canada started with a 3-1
win on Thursday. Wakefield
earned an assist.
In Game 2 on Friday, the Canadians
also prevailed 3-2. Wakefield earned a
goal and an assist for Canada, includ-
ing the game winner at the 3:13 mark
of the third period.
In the series finale on Sunday, the
Canadian under-22s earned a 4-3
overtime victory for the sweep.
Meanwhile, forward and assistant
captain Natalie Spooner and defence-
man Tara Watchorn -- members of
the Durham West Junior Lightning --
represented Canada on the
national under-18 squad
that played a three-game
series in Ottawa against the
American U18 squad.
The Canadians won
all three games, including
the finale that went to the
Canucks 4-1 on Sunday.
The Canadians opened the
series Thursday with a 5-1
victory. In Game 2 on Fri-
day, Canada won 3-2.
Allen will return to the University of
Connecticut, where she played with
the Huskies women’s hockey team.
Meanwhile, Wakefield begins her
freshman year at the University of New
Hampshire where she will play with
that school’s Wildcats women’s hockey
team.
Local players help Canada
win against U.S. teams

Rankins’ reunion tour coming back to Durham
If you missed them in
Ajax earlier this year, here’s
your chance to see them
DURHAM — Earlier this year, the Rankin
Family, after eight years apart, released a new
CD and took off across the country for a tour.
Ajax was one of the stops on that Reunion
tour, and the Cape Breton group returns to
Durham Sept. 1, as
the Rankin family
makes up for some
cancelled dates in
B.C. and gets to some
places they couldn’t
make the first time
around, said Raylene
Rankin, during a tele-
phone interview from
Halifax.
Raylene, Jimmy, Cookie and Heather Rankin
will be joined by their niece Molly Rankin, the
daughter of their late brother and former group
member John Morris Rankin, at the concert.
While in the area, they’ll be taping a Reunion
TV show in Toronto, Rankin said.
The Rankin family -- Raylene, John Morris,
Jimmy, Cookie and Heather -- began touring
together professionally in 1989 with their Ca-
nadian take on Celtic music. But the family of
12 children had been entertaining neighbours
long before that.
The oldest siblings started the original Rankin
Family, with the current members taking over
as they grew older. The group recorded and
toured together until 1999, when they went
their separate ways, touring and recording on
their own.
John Morris Rankin, considered the musical
heart of the group, died in a car accident in
2000, so it was some time before a reunion was
broached.
The four siblings in 2006 started on a CD, re-
leased in January 2007, just as the Reunion tour
began.
The tour almost didn’t take place as older
sister Genevieve, one of the original founders
of the Rankin Family,
died suddenly, Ray-
lene Rankin said. But
everyone decided to
go on.
“Once we started, it
just sort of clicked,”
she said.
“It was a way for us
to move on. I really
felt this ... was a way
of celebrating my sister’s life and being together
as a family.”
And celebrating their music, which is a big
part of who they are and where they are from,
she said.
The concert in Oshawa will include some
music from the new Reunion CD but will fea-
ture much of the music from the past, their
popular songs and traditional music, she said.
Once the tour is over, it will probably be
back to individual pursuits, including Raylene
Rankin’s Christmas tours, she said.
The Rankin Family plays the General Mo-
tors Centre in Oshawa at 8 p.m. Sept. 1. Ticket
information can be found at www.generalmo-
torscentre.com/index.html.
What to look for in theatres
Back to school shopping is done, some leaves
have begun to turn and thought of good movies
are bouncing in my head as the studios gear up for
their annual onslaught of great films to vie for the
Academy Awards.
For most of this year we have endured terrible
films, Away from Her (2007) being the happy ex-
ception, but in the coming months we will finally
get some quality.
There are over 130 new films opening between
Sept. 1 and Dec. 31. Here are the 10 I cannot wait
to see in no particular order because, frankly, I
could not decide which I want to see more. Many
of the films below will premiere at the Toronto In-
ternational Film Festival, which is more and more
looking like a preview of the Academy Awards.
In the Valley of Elah -- The latest from recent
Oscar-wining Canadian Paul Haggis who directed
and wrote Crash (2005), this new film deals with
a father’s hunt for his son’s killers after the boy
returns from the war in Iraq and is mysteriously
killed. Tommy Lee Jones is said to be Oscar bait
for this one along with Charlize Theron and Susan
Sarandon, all previous Oscar winners.
No Country for Old Men -- The Coen Brothers lat-
est film was a huge hit at Cannes this year where
talk began for Javier Bardem as the Oscar winner
for best supporting actor for his riveting perfor-
mance as a deadly killer following a trail of money.
Tommy Lee Jones co-stars in one of the major
films of the year. Count on the Coens to bring
something wildly original to the screen as always.
The Bucket List -- Two of the greatest living actors,
Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, are together
in this film about two cancer patients who take a
road trip to do all the crazy things they
never did before. Rob Reiner directs and
both actors seem naturals for best actor
nominations. Early screenings have said
the film is heartbreaking and could be
the top date movie of the year with its
tear-jerking power.
Charlie Wilson’s War -- A political
drama directed by Mike Nichols with
Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts giving
off loads of high wattage power that is
making this the movie of the year, even
though no one has yet seen the thing.
Nichols is a world class director, though wildly in-
consistent, and his stars are, well, incredible when
on their game.
Lions For Lambs -- Robert Redford directs and
stars along with Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise in
yet another political thriller featuring Cruise as
a potential presidential candidate who runs into
a scandal that could impact the very nation he
wishes to lead. Great cast, great director, no reason
this could be big, except what the public thinks of
Cruise these days.
Sweeney Todd -- Johnny Depp portrays the mur-
derous barber in Tim Burton’s film version of the
Tony award-winning musical. That’s right, I said
musical, and rumour has it Depp is Oscar mate-
rial for his brilliant performance as the
bloodthirsty barber. Helena Bonham
Carter co-stars. Depp, a brilliant actor,
has done some of his best under the di-
rection of the often superb Burton, and
there is every reason to believe this will
be their best work.
The Assassination of Jesse James by
the Coward Bob Ford -- Crazy long title
for a film that has been plagued with
post-production issues. Brad Pitt stars
as the legendary gunmen in a film that
could revive the American western yet
again. I for one cannot wait to see this. When cast
in the right role, with a good director, Pitt can be
an extraordinary actor.
Elizabeth: The Golden Age -- Nine years ago Cate
Blanchett became a star in Elizabeth (1998), and
with this sequel she becomes the front runner
for the Oscar as best actress. The film is a con-
tinuation of the life of the long reigning queen, this
one dealing with her troubles with Spain. Shekar
Kapur, who helmed the first one, is back in the
director’s chair for this one, with Clive Owen and
Geoffrey Rush co-starring.
Into The Wild -- Sean Penn directs this wild
adventure about a wealthy young man who for-
sakes his money and family and wanders into the
great outdoors heading for Alaska where he finds
himself. Emile Hirsch stars in a film that may just
redefine Penn in every manner artistically. Long
a director of deeply personal and intimate films,
Penn paints on his grandest canvas here, though
still maintains the intimacy he finds so interest-
ing.
American Gangster -- Ridley Scott directs two
Oscar winners, Denzel Washington as the cor-
rupt crime lord, and Russell Crowe as the cop
trying to bring him down, in this massive crime
epic that will either be a critics’ dream or an audi-
ence pleaser. The trailer looks incredible, and let’s
not forget Denzel won his Oscar for being bad in
Training Day (2001).

On your 80th birthday
From Eddie, Alan & David
Sister, Isobel & brother, Ian
And the gang at the
Royal Canadian Legion,
Branch 322
You don't look a day over 50!
In loving memory

Clifford
Christie
Newans
Who passed away August 27, 2006
Our hearts are full of memories
We treasure them with care
The way you had to leave us
Will always seem unfair
Sad are the hearts that love you
Silent are the tears that fall
Living our lives without you
Is the hardest part of all
In all that life has given us
And all that's left to do
We will never have a greater gift
Than the time we spent with you
Sadly missed,
Always loved and
remembered by
Janet, Fred, Clifford &
Marion and families

Durham artists Lishman, de Bourbon exhibit work in Toronto
DURHAM — Two Durham artists are collaborating in an exhibit in
Toronto at the end of August.
Recent Works, at the Gladstone Hotel, 1214 Queen St. W., features
the works of Geordie Lishman and Holly de Bourbon. They explore
man’s relationship with the earth on canvas (de Bourbon) and met-
alcraft (Lishman). Lishman, of Ajax, and the son of Scugog artists Bill
and Paula Lishman, uses fire and water to sculpt metal into shapes that
celebrate man’s relationship with the earth. De Bourbon’s paintings stir
up warm sounds of music. She’s an Oshawa native.
The exhibit is Aug. 30 and 31 from 7 to 11 p.m. in the second floor
reception gallery. For more information on the artists, go to www.geor-
dielishman.com and www.hollydebourbon.com.
