The Pickering Fire Service and Dur- ham Regional Police Service were called to a fire at Balsdon Park about 4:42 a.m. said Platoon Chief Rick In- gram. “On arrival, fire had consumed the main structure and radiant heat melt- ed the climbing wall and other features resulting in total loss, and damage is estimated at $20,000,” he said. Nearby residents Dianne and Jim Greaves, who made the call, were awakened by fire at around 4:30 a.m. and noticed a glow from their window. Ms. Greaves said her husband first thought it came from a light, but upon a closer look from their back- yard, he saw the park was on fire. “At first, we thought it was a wood fire, but then there was that chemical smell,” she said. Ms. Greaves said the children she cares for are completely devastated they can no longer play at their favou- rite park. She mentioned it was perfect for the kids she looks after because, besides the playground, there’s also a swing set, and further down, a baseball diamond. One of the little girls began to cry when they walked past the park on the way to school Tuesday morn- ing. “My granddaughter will be in tears when she sees this,” she said. She said luckily there are other parks in the area at which the kids can play. And, with all of the damage she sees on a regular basis, she said the City shouldn’t even bother rebuilding the park. “As much as I use it and love it, I think it’s just throwing money into the fireplace because I think it’s going to keep happening,” she said. A resident of the area for 20 years, Ms. Greaves said she’s seen a num- ber of problems in the area regarding vandalism, drugs and drinking among youth. She sees a number of small fires, and she and her husband regu- larly douse flaming garbage cans using their own buckets. She also mentioned that on Monday one of the children she cares for found a switch blade just beyond the swings. “It’s those kinds of things that make me want to use my backyard,” she said. Platoon chief Ingram said the cause of the fire is currently under inves- tigation. Anyone with information is encouraged to call police at 1-888-579- 1520. Dabbers down Thirty charities scrambling with news Bingo Country to close By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX — Almost 30 charities are scrambling to find alternate fund- ing sources with the closing of Bingo Country in Ajax. Joyce Smith, the founder and di- rector of the Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary, says the loss of the bingo revenue will have an “awful impact. “It’s the only steady income we have,” she says. The sanctuary has other fundrais- ers and regular donors, but receives $2,000 to $3,000 a month from the bingo. “I don’t know what to do. I’ve been racking my brain, trying to find other income,” Ms. Smith says. “It’s a kick in the pants to us.” The sanctuary provides a safe haven for rescued animals, most of them cats. It has 300 cats that have to be micro- chipped, spayed or neutered and given all their shots before they can be adopted out. Asked if the sanctuary would be able to stay open, Ms. Smith says, “I don’t know. Every sanctuary has a hard time. I’m really worried. I don’t know what will happen to all these animals.” Lucy Ogilvie, the bingo hall man- ‘Tough decisions’ ahead to curb $2-million deficit By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The local transit system is facing a potential deficit of $2 mil- lion and if things don’t turn around it could mean cutbacks. “The size of this deficit was a surprise to me and a wake up to all of us on (Re- gional) council about trying to expand programs after the budget in which we haven’t budgeted for that expansion,” said Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce, the chairwoman of the Region’s finance and administration committee. Durham Region Transit (DRT) launched in January of 2006 and oper- ates on a budget of $27.5 million. The deficit is being blamed on changes in ridership, less than anticipated growth and the access pass for Ontario Dis- ability Support Program (ODSP) re- cipients, which became available in November 2006 and cost $300,000, The access past is a $37 monthly pass offered to recipients of ODSP. “I knew there were going to be re- percussions of additional costs for the ODSP (access pass) and I was kind of expecting that $300,000 to come back at us,” she said. “But that is only $300,000 of $2 million.” Another contributor is the local DRT/GO co-fare agreement, more successful than anticipated, that re- sulted in a $500,000 increase in costs. The co-fare agreement allows custom- ers travelling on DRT buses to board GO Transit buses with a pre-paid DRT ticket, pass or transfer. DRT then pays GO Transit the fare difference. “The co-fare we have to get our head around it,” Mayor Pearce said. “People started to use GO during the (DRT) strike and haven’t come back to us.” Adding to the problem is higher than budgeted gas and oil costs of about $240,000 and higher bus material and service costs of $550,000. Another big contributor to the defi- cit is a $1-million revenue shortfall. Mayor Pearce said riding local tran- sit in the end is cheaper for taxpayers and DRT needs to get that message out. “We are going to closely monitor the situation over the next four months and hopefully new routes on major corridors will perform well,” Mayor Pearce said. “As we come closer to the Pickering senior killed driving wrong way on Hwy. 401 By Jennifer O’Meara jomeara@northumberlandnews.com NORTHUMBERLAND — A Pickering man was killed in a head-on collision after his car, driving the wrong way in the Hwy. 401 westbound lanes, col- lided with a cube van around 2 a.m. Tuesday morning. Northumberland OPP officers re- sponded to reports of a Pontiac Sun- fire travelling east in the Hwy. 401 westbound lanes. Police officers used a cruiser to stop westbound traffic, but the Sunfire drove past the cruiser and the stopped vehicles and continued eastbound. The Sunfire crashed head- on with a cube van near Nagle Road, in Hamilton Township. The lone occupant of the Sunfire, 73- year-old Alfred Claridge, of Pickering, was pronounced dead at the scene. The occupants of the van were taken to Northumberland Hills Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. While drivers do not often head in the wrong direction on the Hwy. 401, Northumberland OPP Constable Bet- tina Schwarze says this is not the first time it has happened. Drivers who see Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Pickering Fire Platoon Chief Rick Ingram stands in front of Balsdon Park playground equipment that was burned to the ground in an early-morning fire. Neighbours called 911 about 4 a.m. Tuesday to report the blaze. Damage is set at about $20,000.

The provincial non-smoking rules “hit us hard. The new casino hit us hard. And, the Province’s new revenue model hit us hard,” she states. Among the changes brought on by the revenue model were paid staff had to be used as ‘runners’ on the floor, instead of volunteers. The wages of the paid runners were to come out of a hall’s operating budget. To offset the cost, operators will be getting a larger share of the revenue pie. They had received 40 per cent, with charities getting the other 60 per cent. As of May 1, operators received 55 per cent. As for the Slots at Ajax Downs, “we haven’t made any money since it opened. About 20 per cent of our cus- tomers went to the casino,” she notes. The no-smoking regulations “really did a big impact on us.” The Ajax site has 30 employees and provides funding to 29 charities. Last year, she estimated about $1.2 million was handed out to charities. “They’re going to see a huge dif- ference. A lot will have to close their doors. A lot can’t function without the bingo revenue,” Ms. Ogilvie states, adding the site closes on Sept. 30. Richard Sabourin, the past president of the Durham West Girls’ Hockey As- sociation, says the closing would prob- ably lead to higher registration fees. The amount of money the associa- tion receives from the bingo works out to about $30 per member, he says. “Without that money, registration will increase $30,” he says. The DWGHA wanted to keep the registration fee to below $500 for this hockey season, but it had to “dip into our retained earnings” to do so, he says. This year, it’s $450 and the rate was set based on receiving bingo rev- enues, he adds. “We have no way to recoup that rev- enue,” Mr. Sabourin says, adding the association is losing $15,000. “We can’t cut back on expenses. Ice is ice and jerseys are jerseys. There isn’t any fat there. We are as lean as we can be. This will have a dramatic ef- fect.” Another affect is on families who struggle to pay the registration fee, he notes. “We have a number of members who apply to us on an annual basis for assistance. They work in the bingo hall for their honorarium. There are 10 to 20 families who work out at the bingo hall,” Mr. Sabourin says. DWGHA won’t be turning away any players who can’t afford to play, he notes. “In 14 years, we’ve never turned a child away and we don’t anticipate starting.” Ann Marie Webbe, the executive di- rector of the KMW Adult Day Program, says the loss will affect the services provided to clients. “We’ll have to scale back quite a bit. Our members will feel that,” Ms. Webbe notes. “It’s going to have a huge impact on us. We have to find another route so we don’t have to increase the costs to the families.” KMW received about $50,000 a year from the charity bingo. Without that money, it won’t be able to pay for a specialist to work with clients. The program has 22 members pay- ing $30 per day for services, she says. “Even with that fee, it’s not enough to pay for a specialist.” It also offers an after-school pro- gram for special needs youths, and the cost is $9 per person. There are nine youths aged 14 and older in the after-school program, where they work on “behaviour issues, attention issues, communication is- sues. This is somewhere for them to come to. They are the way they are for the rest of their lives. “Everything will be scaled back. Families may have to make alternate programs for after school. It’s a real loss for us,” Ms. Webbe says. end of the year we are going to have to give serious thought to routes and the (DRT/GO) co-fare. We may have to make some tough decisions.” She said no one wants to deal with under-performing routes, but they may just have to. Alternately, if the Region wants to maintain that level of service it to pay for it, she added. DRT’s general manager, Ted Galinis, said the potential $2-million deficit is a worst-case scenario and measures are being taken to curb it. “We are doing some spending cuts, hiring freeze, looking at routes to see if we can save some money,” he said. Mr. Galinis said bringing the poten- tial deficit forward now is a form of due diligence so there are no surprises come budget time. “If this really is a problem we have to address it for 2008 so we can institute it in 2008 to get a full-year recovery,” he said. a vehicle heading the wrong way on the highway should pull over if they can, Const. Schwarze says. Often the incident happens so quickly drivers do not have time to respond, she adds. “It’s so unusual, you don’t expect to see the vehicle going the wrong way on a divided highway.” The Hwy. 401 westbound was closed for several hours as emergency work- ers rescued survivors, gathered evi- dence, and cleared the scene.

Correction Major cocaine ring dismantled, police say DURHAM — A series of early morn- ing police raids have resulted in the seizure of more than $3 million in il- licit drugs and the arrest of 12 people throughout the GTA. Police say the suspects have con- nections with a major cocaine-import- ing ring. In addition to the drugs, po- lice also seized a number of firearms, including semi-automatic handguns and prohibited assault rifles. The suspects, who were arrested without incident as police executed 16 search warrants, include residents of Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa and Bowman- ville. More than 200 police officers car- ried out the pre-dawn raids, including officers from Durham Regional Police, Peel Regional Police, York Regional Police, Toronto Police, the Canadian Border Services Agency and the OPP. ✦ Highway from page A1 Highway closed for hours after crash Sunday, September 16, 2007 Ajax Convention Centre at The Hilton Garden Inn 500 Beck Cres., just off Salem Rd. exit from the 401, Ajax Doors open at: 11:00 am Fashion Show: 3:00 pm Durham’s leading wedding professionals are at the...

For the second time in just more than a month, this time at 68 Degree Nail in Ajax, the Region discovered equipment used to sterilize body- piercing equipment malfunctioned, possibly exposing clients to diseases such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. People who had body piercing done at 68 Degree Nail from April 30 to June 24 are asked to call the Durham Region Health Department. Located in the Harwood Mall at 68 Harwood Ave. S., the main business carried out at 68 Degree Nail is mani- cures and pedicures, but the establish- ment also provides some body pierc- ing services. “We are not concerned about the ear piercing because that equipment is single use,” said Ross MacEachern, the Region’s environmental health man- ager. Manicures and pedicures are also not a concern, as reusable instruments used for these procedures require cleaning and disinfection after each client, and are not required to be steril- ized. “We believe (the operators) client numbers for body piercing services is small,” Mr. MacEachern said. “She didn’t keep client records. We tried to determine numbers and we couldn’t do that.” Mr. MacEachern said the fact that client records were not kept is another aspect the Region is dealing with be- cause protocol does require that re- cords be kept. The business has not been shut down, he said. Longhorn Custom Body Art in Os- hawa was shut down on Aug. 1 after a routine inspection led the Region to learn of a possible malfunctioning of sterilization machine. In the Longhorn case, between 1,500 and 2,000 people were affected by the potential exposure. Mr. MacEachern echoed what he said when the first possible contamination came up. He said as the popularity of body piercing and tattooing increases and the number of establishments that offer it grows, regulations governing them haven’t kept pace. There are guidelines to deal with the tattoo and body piercing industry, but it is largely a self-regulated busi- ness, he said. Tattooing, body piercing, manicures/pedicures hairdressing, etc. are scheduled to be inspected a minimum of once per year and when- ever a complaint is received about an establishment. Clients of the business can contact the Durham Health Connection Line at 905-666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729, Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., prior to visiting a physician, to receive an information package that includes forms they will need when visiting a physician or urgent care clin- ic. Mr. MacEachern is asking clients not visit the emergency department at their local hospital, an unforeseen problem in the Longhorn investiga- tion. pickeringtowncentre.com FIND YOUR FALL STYLE Teen Fashion Event Friday, September 21st 6:30pm & 7:30pm Join us at Centre Court for a preview of Fall’s hottest fashions.

Alcohol and speed have not been ruled out as factors in the 3 a.m. crash, on Pickering Parkway east of Liverpool Road, police said. Witnesses told cops the driver of an eastbound Neon failed to negotiate a turn in the roadway and slammed into a light pole. The driver, an 18-year-old Pickering man, was taken to Sunnybrook hos- pital in Toronto with life-threatening injuries and as of Monday was listed in serious but stable condition. Collision investigators closed the road for several hours to examine the crash site and continue to probe the accident. Anyone with information on the crash, including the activities of the driver prior to it, is asked to call 905- 579-1520, ext. 5267. Motorcycle club to promote zero-tolerance By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The Canadian Mo- torcycle Cruisers (CMC) has a zero- tolerance policy, and won’t allow any- one who has broken it to ride along. “If we have a new rider with us, or a guest, they’re told prior to any rides that there is no alcohol,” first officer of the Scarborough/Pickering chapter, Rick Eggett said. “If we stop for lunch and they have a drink, they have to ride home them- selves. They cannot be involved with us.” The CMC was founded in Novem- ber, 2006 and has more than 75 chap- ters across Canada and 1,800 mem- bers to date. Bikers Against Drunk Drivers (BADD) has adopted the alco- hol-free motorcycle club as its “poster club” because of the zero-tolerance policy. Bob Lloyd, the first officer of the Montreal chapter, is currently riding across Canada to spread awareness of drunk driving. On Thursday, Sept. 13, the CMC will sponsor a BADD event at Big M Burger in Pickering to raise money for three riders who were hit by a drunk driver a couple of weeks ago in Mon- treal. The three men were approach- ing a 90-degree turn in the road when an SUV came at them. Injuries ranged from bumps and bruises to the loss of a leg. “Everybody’s at home recuperat- ing,” Mr. Eggett said. “It was actually pretty bad.” BADD is the leading charitable mo- torcycle organization in North Amer- ica with a mandate to reduce inci- dents of drunk driving through public awareness. It also has an emergency fund to support victims of drunk driv- ers while they await compensation, or if no compensation is forthcoming. Mr. Eggett describes simply riding as difficult, never mind when alcohol is involved. For example, objects dangling from the rearview mirror can obstruct a car driver’s view of a motorcycle. “We’re invisible to people in cars,” he said. “They just don’t see us.” The CMC and BADD will make themselves visible at the event on Thursday night. A 1934 Ford truck will carry and display a custom Harley Davidson that’s up for grabs. People who donate will receive tickets for the prize, which will be announced at Bike Week at Daytona Beach, Florida in March, 2008.

Appeal court ruling considered by judge By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A ruling in an appli- cation to have infamous jailhouse snitch Robert Dean May declared a dangerous offender has been de- layed while a judge ponders the ram- ifications of a recent appeals court decision that appears to bolster the Crown’s case. Superior Court Justice Michael Brown said Wednesday he wants more time to consider a recent deci- sion in the case of Gary Little. The Ontario Court of Appeal sided with the Crown in ruling a danger- ous offender designation is appro- priate for the man, who has been convicted of numerous assaults on domestic partners. That’s just the sort of criminal re- cord cited by Crown counsel Mitch- ell Flagg in his pursuit of a danger- ous offender tag for Mr. May, who was convicted last year of assaulting and harassing an Ajax woman with whom he’d been involved in a ro- mantic relationship. It was Mr. May’s third conviction for assaulting and harassing women he’d been involved with. If the Crown is successful in its application it would mean Mr. May -- who gained nationwide notoriety in the 1980s as a jailhouse informant who testified for the Crown in the murder trial of Guy Paul Morin -- would be jailed indefinitely, with a review of his status conducted every seven years. Mr. Morin was eventually cleared of the sex killing of his young neigh- bour, Christine Jessop. Mr. May later admitted he’d lied on the stand when he said he’d heard the Queensville man confess to the crime. During arguments on the danger- ous offender application, Mr. Flagg has cited Mr. May’s lengthy criminal record and a pattern of failing to comply with probation and other court orders. The prosecutor has argued Mr. May is likely to reoffend if he’s re- leased into the community. Defence counsel Nyron Dwyer has called for a finite jail term and a Long Term Offender designation, which would mean Mr. May would be subject to stringent conditions upon his release from prison. But Mr. Flagg contends the correc- tions and parole systems don’t have the resources to monitor Mr. May and ensure he doesn’t reoffend. “The evidence you’ve heard in this case would indicate there are severe limitations on those who would be required to supervise Mr. May to do so,” he said in court in Whitby Wednesday morning. “He has a high risk of reoffending violently.” Wednesday was to have been the day Justice Brown, who’s heard sev- eral hours of evidence in the appli- cation on a number of court dates since February, was to rule on the matter. But he postponed the decision to allow the lawyers to make submis- sions on the significance of the ap- peals court ruling, which was re- leased after arguments in Mr. May’s case had been completed. A panel of appeals court judges ruled Mr. Little ought to be declared a dangerous offender because there is no evidence the resources neces- sary to monitor him upon his release from prison will be in place. Mr. Flagg said that ruling has great relevance in Mr. May’s case. “The parallels are unmistakable between the two cases,” he said. Mr. Dwyer argued the court need not determine that any chance of Mr. May reoffending would be elimi- nated, but rather that through coun- selling and monitoring, the odds of that occurring could be reduced. “We’re not talking about elimina- tion of risk; we’re talking about con- trol,” he said. “In my submission Mr. May can be controlled in the traditional way,” Mr. Dwyer said. “The risk can be controlled and that’s what we have to focus on.” Justice Brown is to rule on the ap- plication next month.

The study is being undertaken in accordance with Schedule C of the Municipal Class EA. The first Public Information Centre (PIC) was held on December 5, 2006, at which time the widening of Bayly Street / Victoria Street from two (2) to four (4) lanes was identified as the Preferred Solution to address the existing and projected transportation need in the area. Following the first PIC, the design and evaluation of the design alternatives were carried out, taking into consideration comments received from technical agencies and members of the public. The second PIC has been scheduled to present the analysis and evaluation of the design alternatives, the identification of the Technically Preferred Alternative and the next steps in the study. The PIC will also provide members of the public an opportunity to provide comments regarding the study.

NEWS ADVERTISER NEWS ADVERTISER 905-683-5110 Excitement has worn thin over time I don’t much care for flying anymore. The novelty wore off somewhere between 9/11 and my last cavity search. I don’t even care if I get a window seat anymore. I prefer the aisle. Looking out the window only reminds me of how far we have to plummet should the law of gravity suddenly kick in. On the aisle I can at least stretch one of my legs out, bringing a measure of relief to feet that, above 10,000 feet elevation, now swell to the size of rugby balls. I used to fly without a care in the world. The aircraft could be in the middle of the worst mete- orological pounding imaginable, drinks, magazines, briefcases and cabin stewards ricocheting madly off of the fuselage walls and I’d be oblivious. Now there are at least two moments per flight, usually take-off and land- ing, when I am viscerally aware of the potential for disaster sur- rounding me. At these moments I always run the same scenario through my head; I send a si- lent prayer to my wife, children and agent (an actor is always an actor) and then I find myself looking about me and wonder- ing, in the event of a crash, how in God’s name I am going to lead these people to safety. Flying is a wonderfully accu- rate litmus test of manners, too. Upon landing, I always watch to see who will be the first moron to stand up and reach for his luggage while the plane is still taxiing to the gate. I’m always delighted when the plane hic- cups at these moments, send- ing the idiot whose schedule is so much more important than the rest of ours, careening into a bulkhead. Poetic justice. I am also enormously enter- tained and ultimately vexed by what passes for “carry on” lug- gage with some people. I have seen individuals attempting to cram what amount to steamer trunks into the overhead bins. These people think nothing of holding up the entire plane while they and their sherpas take up every square inch of storage space within a 10-foot radius of their designated seat. I’m weary of all the flying games as well. I don’t find near- ly the enjoyment I used to in “Share the arm rest,” or “Recline in my face,” or even “Worst Aim – the bathroom game.” And all of these irritations are nothing compared to the indignities one endures at the security gate. I have seen S&M enthusiasts tire of such abuse. Thankfully, for the airline in- dustry and the human race in general, there still exist those rare virtues of kindness, patience and selflessness. Last week I sat across the aisle from a young couple and their infant daugh- ter. The child had a head cold and on our descent into Toronto her ears and sinuses caused her to scream in pain. She wailed until I could feel the daggered eyes of the entire cabin burning towards the three of them. Still she sobbed and thrashed. She cried so hard she vomited. Now the steely glares were hurled like spears. I felt ter- ribly for them. Anyone who has travelled with children would. I was searching for something to say or do when the strang- er sitting behind them put his hand on the father’s shoulder, caught his frantic eye and sim- ply smiled. In that moment of connection, in the relief of the father and the compassion of the stranger, I saw what keeps the world and the airlines in business.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Seaton land swap will destroy the environment To the editor: The Province (Premier Dal- ton McGuinty and Cabinet) has committed to impose and approve its land swap deal for Pickering’s Seaton lands with developers. In making this deal, Mr. McGuinty will allow the most environmentally sen- sitive land in Pickering to be destroyed, which will make a mockery of the word sustain- ability. Say goodbye to 35 species of fish in Seaton with the last three coldwater streams in Durham. Say goodbye to Duffins Creek. Say goodbye to the 111 wet- lands in Seaton. Say goodbye to the 200 plant species in Seaton. Say goodbye to the three fresh-water aquifers that lie under Seaton (Pickering) whose volumes equal one million Olympic-size swimming pools. What is the point of protect- ing the Oak Ridges Moraine if you allow clean, large aquifers south of the moraine to be pol- luted? Say goodbye to the 40 per cent woodlots in Seaton. Say hello to the widening of the Whites Road expressway to Hwy. 401. Say hello to higher municipal taxes. An independent environ- mental assessment was re- quested by 2,500 citizens and myself two years ago that the provincial government denied.

David Steele Pickering Problem needs to be corrected before next municipal election To the editor: Re: Public board reluctantly pays byelection bill, Aug. 29. As representatives of the people of Durham I am disap- pointed in the decision made by seven of the 11 trustees re- garding the byelection payment to Oshawa. There was another way that the school board trustees could have handled the situa- tion. They could have put the $138,172 in a specific trust ac- count (or whatever the legal trust fund would be) which is used to hold trust funds for a specific client (The City of Os- hawa) and the City of Oshawa would not lose interest on this amount as the interest goes into the account for the client’s benefit. This would show good faith by the DDSB with the intension to pay the bill after 30 days. They could have received legal advice from the lawyers for the DDSB and asked for the ad- vice to be available at the next standing committee meeting Sept. 4 and if they had no legal option but to pay the bill then at the next board meeting they can pass a motion to pay the City of Oshawa. The problem that exists is that every municipality has ac- cess to the Education Act and all use the same forms the government sends out. Unless the form is re-written then the wording in the act remains the same for every municipality. I hope the board follows through and sends a letter to the Ministry of Education to do a full investigation so this prob- lem is corrected for future elec- tions for school board trustee in the City of Oshawa.

EDITORIAL CLICK AND SAY IN THE COMMUNITY /4& Take advantage of new tourism chief Ajax and Pickering councils should be knocking on Kerri King’s door in the near future to talk tourism in west Durham. Ms. King, an event planner for more than a decade, recently became Durham Region’s new manager of tourism. With her experi- ence, business sense and knowledge of the region, she’s a good choice to kick-start tourism planning in Durham, especially in Ajax and Pickering. Located on the fringe of Toronto, the town and city have a distinct advantage in attracting tourists due to their proximity to the big city. Visitors from around the world may be interested in getting out of Toronto during a holiday to see what smaller areas have to offer. U.S. visitors from Buffalo, for example, who might have been to To- ronto several times and are looking to broaden their horizons, could also be enticed to take a trip to the east. And, there are a number of things, existing or not, that could be plugged here. Given Ajax’s history and the number of war veterans who live here and in the area in general, some form of Ajax military museum seems a natural. The facility could not only delve into shell production at the Defence Industries Ltd. (DIL) plant, but explore stories about the Second World War, here and overseas, from men and women who served in a variety of ways. Other Durham residents could be utilized to make this Durham’s military museum. Recording the oral stories of combatants and their spouses would be a nice addition, tying in the war years to the start of the town. A bit closer to reality would be to establish a remembrance park along Hwy. 401 at Harwood Avenue. The stretch of highway is already dubbed Highway of Heroes, and the Town has spoken of developing the spot to make Ajax stand out to highway travellers. A massive Ca- nadian flag, garden, a mast with the Ajax flag and other displays would certainly help put Ajax on the map in addition to honouring our fallen men and women in uniform. Pickering has the advantage of North America’s largest urban park, Rouge Park. There are a number of activities in the area that are under utilized, including organized hiking, camping and educational op- portunities. The lands west of Altona Road, on the park’s fringe, seem a natural for a 21st century campground that combines recreation, history and more. At the forefront of all, however, is our enviable position on Lake On- tario. Ms. King could help Ajax and Pickering figure out how to make the most of the lake. She could be key in forming links between local spots, forming one- or two-day packages for visitors. With municipalities crying the financial blues since provincial downloading, tourism dollars are more important than ever. Given the exceptional resource in Ms. King, Ajax and Pickering should make the most of it and build their tourism potential.

YWCA Durham announced Thurs- day that the temporary closure which began in April will now be permanent. The building is expected to be “re-pur- posed” in the coming months. Since the funding situation hadn’t changed since the temporary closure began, the hostel had to close, said a YWCA staffer. “As long as we don’t have sustainable funding, we can’t do this,” said Wendy Leeder, the YWCA Durham’s Shelter Services Director. “We are not at liberty to keep wait- ing. There are costs to keep a building, even though it’s an empty building,” she said. The emergency hostel had closed on a temporary basis effective April 1. At that time the YWCA said it needed a change in the way the hostel was funded, as the per diem rate of $39.55, granted for each person being housed by the shelter per day, was neither suf- ficient nor stable enough to allow it to carry on. The real estimated daily cost to house a person at the shelter was estimated at $52.66. Beyond that, there are fixed costs, which do not vary based on how many people are staying there, which were not being addressed. YWCA of- ficials said they needed an additional $250,000 in annual, stable funding to keep offering emergency hostel ser- vices. Though a number of possible fund- ing options had come forward, “none of the options were viable,” said a media release from the YWCA. The organization had appealed to both the Province and the Region of Durham for additional funding, but so far, that’s not been forthcoming, said Ms. Leeder. “The Region was going to be doing a review ...we still don’t have the informa- tion from the review, and that’s OK. But the reality is, we can’t keep sitting and waiting and waiting,” she said. “There’s a beautiful well-equipped building, sit- ting empty.” There is to be a joint Finance and Social Services meeting at the Region on the issue Tuesday, said Oshawa Regional Councillor April Cullen, who chairs Social Services. But, it is unlikely to make a difference, she said. “There’s just not a way to keep that hostel going. It’s just not financially vi- able,” said Coun. Cullen. The YWCA is looking at ways to use the building, possibly for transition- al, second-stage housing. That’s good news, said Coun. Cullen. “Obviously, we don’t like to lose hos- tel beds, but there’s a definite need for transitional housing” locally, she said. Meanwhile, “no one” seeking emer- gency hostel shelter “has been turned away,” said Coun. Cullen. The Muslim Welfare Centre in Whitby has been able to shoulder a fair amount of the load. “We’re very saddened to see (the closure of the Oshawa hostel) happen, but pleased to see the building will be re-purposed,” said the councillor. Meanwhile, there has been lobbying at the provincial level, as shelters across Ontario find themselves in similar situ- ations. Oshawa MPP Jerry Ouelllette said he’s attempted to work on the is- sues. He foresees a “domino effect” with other service providers having to take on additional clients. On the upside, he said, those who do receive per diem funding will see an increase in provin- cial dollars as their clientele increases. Still, the issue of homelessness is likely to become more obvious with the closure of the hostel, said Ms. Leeder. “Eleven hundred women were served at the YWCA shelter last year,” she noted. Closure of the shelter could force at least some back into risky situ- ations or behaviours. “They can go into a rooming house -- which tends to be a crack house -- and pay $450 a month,” said Ms. Leed- er, adding Ontario Works pays $536 a month. “They can be revictimized” by entering into such risky situations or returning to abusive relationships. Or they could be in the streets. “I look at the weather a different way now,” said Ms. Leeder. “When I hear September and Oc- tober are going to be warm months, I think, oh good” given the possibility some of the women could be sleeping there. The issue of affordable housing re- mains a huge problem, she said. In fact, in some cases, there is a seven to 10 year waiting list. “There’s also a need for continued support for women. “Homelessness is more than just not having money to pay rent,” she said. “You and I could lose our jobs tomor- row and we’re not going to go into a shelter.” BAY RIDGES PHARMACY Please join us this Saturday, September 15th, 11:00 am - 4:00 pm as we celebrate the in our new location 1261 Bayly St ( just west of Liverpool ) 905-839-1123 25% OFF Rexall Products Sunglasses & Rea ding gla sses 1/2 pr ice Coffee & Donuts Hallmar k Christm a s Wrap $1.99 PROUDLY PROVIDING PICKERING RESIDENTS WITH FRIENDLY, QUALITY SERVICE FOR OVER 45 YEARS!

PAGE B1 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ September 12, 2007 P Panthers get season started on road against Rangers Play home opener versus Markham Waxers Sunday night By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Ready or not, the Pickering Panthers open the 2007-08 OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League campaign tonight (Wednesday, Sept. 12) on the road against the North York Rangers. The regular-season debut, notes Pan- thers’ rookie head coach Mark Joslin, is a big game as it will set the tone for what he hopes will be a winning ice campaign. “We know we have Markham back to back (in Markham Friday, home in Pickering on Sunday) and they have a lot of veterans in their lineup. Those games will be very tough in what is a critical weekend series. It makes the North York game important to getting off to a good start and a winning note,” says Joslin. The Panthers ended pre-season play against four American junior hockey teams at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Penn. on the weekend. Despite losing three of four games, the silver lining for the Panthers was playing three scoreless periods (games were two, 25-minute pe- riods) to end play there, including their lone win, a 2-0 shutout over the Phila- delphia Little Fly- ers of the Atlantic Junior Hockey League. “We finished the last 75 min- utes of the games without allowing a goal, which was a big positive for us,” says Joslin. He gave kudos to goaltender Connor Sampson, who “had a very good weekend” while earn- ing the shutout against Philadelphia, and to veteran forward Jamie MacQueen, who scored both goals in the winning cause against Philly. All told, MacQueen bagged four goals during the weekend. The Pickering juniors lost 5-4 to the New England Huskies of the Eastern Ju- nior Hockey League in a game where mental breakdowns in the defensive zone and undis- ciplined penalties set the tone for the contest. MacQueen scored twice in the loss to New England, with Scott Brown and Brendan Hann adding singles. Next, the Panthers were blanked 4-0 by a strong New York Applecore team, which also competes in the EJHL. That team, notes Joslin, is together year-round and played like it was in mid-season form. A terrible opening frame against the New York Bobcats of the AJHL left the Panthers in a 3-0 hole. They tightened up defensively in the final frame to keep the Bobcats off the scoresheet, while also adding a goal in a 3-1 defeat. Hann scored the lone Panthers’ goal. Perhaps even more important than wins and losses, says Joslin, was bringing the team together on the Erie road trip. “It was really good to see that team bonding,” says Joslin. “I’m really big on team chemistry and for that this trip went a long, long way.” He mentioned the Pickering players had a tour of the Mercyhurst College campus, including the hockey facility where the Lakers play at the NCAA Divi- sion 1 level. They also went on an excur- sion to the local mall. As for the regular-season roster, Joslin admits there are still question marks that have to be ironed out. And, these ques- tions begin and end with four Panthers still on Ontario Hockey League teams training camp rosters. Remaining at OHL camps are forwards Brad Fleishman and Cody Smith (Lon- don Knights), Andy Andreoff (Oshawa Generals) and Brendan Muise (Guelph Storm). Joslin says decisions by OHL coaches on all four players should be coming shortly. The Panthers’ home opener is at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Sun- day, Sept. 16 against the Markham Wax- ers, the second half of a home-and-home series that begins Friday in Markham. Game time for Sunday’s game is 6:30 p.m. Jamie MacQueen Mark Joslin Panthers’ Postscript The Panthers have plenty of connec- tions to Mercyhurst College, as for- mer Panthers defenceman Zach Fen- wick will be on the Lakers’ blue line for his freshman campaign. The Panthers also graduated another defenceman T.J. Kemp to the Lakers. Kemp, who played in the American Hockey League last season, has recently signed a pro contract with the Edmonton Oilers... Gibbs takes game to Norway Ajacian who starred with York U. Lions signs contract with Gimle By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — A star on the York University Lions women’s basketball team for four years, Ajax’s Kim Gibbs is now headed overseas to continue her hoops career. The 5-foot, 11-inch power/small for- ward signed a seven-month contract to play for Gimle, a first-division women’s team in the Norwegian Basketball As- sociation (Norges Basketballforbund or NBBF). Gimle is based in Bergen, a city in southwestern Norway. Leaving for Norway on Monday, Sept. 17, Gibbs says she relishes the chance to live and play in the Scandinavian coun- try known more for reindeer and fjords than women’s basketball. “This is a great opportunity; it’s just a dream of a lifetime,” said Gibbs. “I don’t think it’s going to really sink in until I get on the plane (to go to Norway).” Gibbs is one of two York Lions wom- en’s team players to earn a pro contract overseas. One other player, Sarah Brodie, signed to play for BC Nokia, a Division I team in Finland. York assistant coach Eric Tiessen says it’s a coup not only for the players, but for York, too. “It’s great for the program,” Tiessen said in a press release. “Kim and Sarah won (the OUA championship) and now they both have the opportunity to play professionally. It’s just fantastic for them.” The 22-year-old explains that at the end of her university basketball career she conferred with head coach Bill Pan- gos about her options post-York. Pangos recommended she seek out an agent to explore signing with a European club. The agent then set up men’s and women’s tournaments in Germany in June, where overseas club teams, including those in Finland, Norway, Italy and Greece, could watch the prospects in action. Coaches who couldn’t watch the tour- naments in person were provided video of the prospects. It was through a video of Gibbs that the connection was made with Gimle. “Gimle contacted my agent and they liked my style of play,” she explains. “They thought I fit into their team. They set up a contract, I read it over and I signed it.” Gibbs says the Gimle coaches needed a versatile, athletic player who could excel in an up tempo system, and she fit that bill to a tee. “They like athletic players who can play both the ‘3’ (small forward) and the ‘4’ (power forward), which is what I played at York. We play an up tempo game, which is what they like to do. They wanted someone who can play on the perimeter and can also go inside in the paint,” she explains. As one of only a few paid players on the Gimle squad, Gibbs notes she ex- pects to log a lot of minutes on the court. She won’t, however, be expected to carry the club, as Gimle has a long string of winning seasons to its credit. The 10- player roster is also dotted with players from the Norwegian national team. “They only have one or two foreign players and you’re considered a pro play- er, so they expect you to play well,” she says. “They have a lot of girls from the national and provincial teams, so they don’t expect you to take over the game.” Gibbs is unfazed about living in a for- eign country and about any language barrier in Norway. In fact, she’s looking forward to experiencing Norwegian life. While there, she’ll live in an apartment furnished by the team. “Bergen is the second largest city in Norway and most of the people there speak English. I’m excited by it...I like to think that I’m pretty adaptable and I have to be in this situation. I’m the only for- eign player, so I will have to adapt to the culture. From what I understand, they’re very friendly and having my teammates, it will make the transition easier, I’m sure.” Gibbs is coming off what can only be described as a dream season with the York Lions. As a senior forward, she led the club to the OUA (Ontario Univer- sity Athletics) championship where they faced their old nemesis, Hamilton’s Mc- Master University Marauders. Not only did the Lions beat York for the provincial title -- York’s first OUA women’s basket- ball crown in 10 years -- they did so on McMaster’s home court. This, says Gibbs, was a little payback A.J.

Last year, the power/small forward helped the York University Lions win the OUA women’s basketball title. ✦ See Ajax, Page B3 Sunwing Flyers soar to gold, qualify for worlds Dragon boat ladies’ grand masters crew captures three medals at nationals in Calgary By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The Sunwing Flyers women’s grand masters dragon boat team took flight at the Dragon Boat Canada-National Club Crew Champi- onships in Calgary recently. In addition to three medals, the 22- member age 50-and-over crew secured its ultimate goal -- qualifying for the World Dragon Boat Club Crew Cham- pionships in Penang, Malaysia next year. According to crew member and Pickering resident Rosemary Aiken, the entire team and head coach Chris Todd was focused on achieving medals and qualifying for worlds. “It was absolutely an amazing situa- tion for us. We have trained really hard all year. Last year at the worlds, we won two gold medals in Toronto, which put us in a really good frame of mind for this year. We’d only been together as a team for that year. “We were just so thrilled. We did what we set out to do, which was to qualify to go to Malaysia next year.” In fact, the entire team arrived sev- eral days before the actual races to get in some pre-championship training to be ready for the task at hand. In Calgary, the Sunwing Flyers cap- tured the gold medal in the 200-metre event in its division. The crew went on to win gold in the two-kilometre event as well as a silver in the 500m race. Last year, in its inaugural season as a Grand Masters crew, the Flyers won gold in the 200m and 500m events at the worlds at Toronto’s Marilyn Bell Park. Aiken mentioned the crew members have been on a mission even before the beginning of the competitive season, working out during the winter in gym- nasiums and lifting weights to achieve greater upper-body strength. In the spring, the members got right to work in the boat with numerous practice sessions on Frenchman’s Bay leading up to the summer competitive season. It speaks to the dedication each and every member of the team has put into achieving their goals. “It’s a really super team. Everyone is very committed to what they’re doing ‘We did what we set out to do, which was to qualify to go to Malaysia next year.’ SUNWING FLYERS’ CREW MEMBER ROSEMARY AIKEN ✦ See Dragon, Page B2 Sports briefs SEPTEMBER 12, 2007 [ Track and field ] Perdita fourth at Swiss meet PICKERING — After her silver- medal triumph at the worlds in Osaka, Japan, Picker- ing’s Perdita Felicien headed to Switzerland to compete in the annual Welt- klasse Golden League meet in Zurich recently.

PAGE B7 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ September 12, 2007 A/P ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT durhamregion.com Celts and kilts ready to take over Durham this weekend By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — There’ll be a definite Celtic flavour to downtown Oshawa as the second annual Oshawa Celtic Festival takes over Sept. 14 and 15. Yes, the event is now two days of music and fun, said Marissa Kata, of the Downtown Action Com- mittee, which is hosting the festival. She’s promising “more excitement” and every- thing Celtic over the two days. The festival gets off to a woolly start on Sept. 14 with the Running of the Sheep. Yes, plenty of real sheep will be herded by some of Ontario’s top sheep dogs, along Athol Street, starting from Simcoe Street at 6:30 p.m. and heading towards Mary Street. This will be followed by the Spirit of the West concert at the General Motors Centre. “Who could ask for anything more Celtic than that?” Kata said. The band, which blends hard rock, British pop and Celtic folk music, burst onto the Canadian music scene in the 1980s and is one of the most successful alternative rock groups in Canada. One of the band’s songs, Home For A Rest, was placed at 22 on the CBC Radio One’s top 50 Canadian songs of all time. Tickets are $22.50 plus service charge and are available at the GM Centre box office, Athol and Mary streets, Ticketmaster locations, online at www. ticketmaster.ca or by phone at 905-433-9494. On Sept. 15, the festival gets going again at Me- morial Park, Simcoe and John streets, at 1 p.m. with an official opening, featuring the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 43 Pipe and Drum Band. Admission to the day’s events is free. The featured acts include Zero Gravity Circus, with an acrobatic, fire-manipulation routine set to contemporary Celtic music, with two performances by the three women at 8 and 9 p.m., and The Magic of Ireland (7 p.m.), a group of musicians, singers and dancers that will be heading to Europe for a tour after the festival. Fraser MacDuff sings a wide variety of music, including Scottish, Irish and Gaelic arrangements. They appear at 5:30 p.m. The David Leask Trip (4:15 p.m.) performs a high- energy fusion of Celtic soul and country-rock-pop. Nothin’ Serious entertains with Irish, Scottish and East Coast music and humour. Providing some Celt- ic dance touches are the Scottish Country Dancers, at 3:35 and 5 p.m., and Colleen Rintamaki School of Dance, 1:30 p.m., a school headed by 10-time world highland dance champion, Colleen Rintamaki. But that’s not all. “It’s a family event too so there’s something for everyone,” said Kata. Children can make a “wee kilt” courtesy of Fab- ricland, can play in and paint the Giant Scottish Castle, and have their faces painted like Braveheart.

Originally opened in 1965, owner Chris Papatheodorou reopened the drive-up style joint about four years ago, and is proud to be continuing his father Ted’s tradition of offering delicious original recipe homemade hamburgers, their famous steak on a kaiser, homemade onion rings, french fries, and thick milkshakes — all in the fun and original 60s drive-in environment. “We pride ourselves on our great 40-year traditions serving the Bay Ridges area, which is why we’ve gone back the restaurant’s original feel,” he says. “Back then, The Big M was the place to go, and we’re inviting our original customers as well as a new generation of customers to come down and check us out. We offer high quality food and a good time — plus, you can’t get a better burger or steak on a kaiser anywhere else.” The Big M is back! LTD. Upcoming Special Events Expecting a Baby?
