College shooting trial begins DURHAM — Jury selection has begun for a man facing murder and assault charges in connection with a shooting three years ago at a Dur- ham College pub. Neven Belic of Toronto pleaded not guilty to a charge of second- degree murder and two charges of aggravated assault after his arraign- ment in Superior Court in Whitby Monday afternoon. Mr. Belic was ar- rested several months after the April 2004 shooting that left Ajax resident Eugene “Dwayne” Moses dead and two other young men injured. Mr. Moses, a popular graduate of the col- lege, was working security at a Friday night pub when gunfire broke out. He died of gunshot wounds. Jury selection began Wednesday and jurors are expected to begin hearing evidence next Monday. 980 KINGSTON ROAD, PICKERING Between Liverpool Rd & Whites Rd. 905-839-6159 www.saturnofpickering.saturncanada.com Saturn Saab of Pickering The North American Car of the Year.

Chief says ‘significant energy’ being put into road safety By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — One year to the day after five people were shot in Ajax, the police chief was at Regional Council to highlight the inroads the department has made since then. “Hopefully this isn’t an ominous date for us to be here,” Durham Regional Police Chief Mike Ewles said when addressing Council on Oct. 31. Policing initiatives like Proj- ect Merlin, which dismantled a multi-million dollar international cocaine ring, Project Lynx, where $5.9 million in cash and drugs was seized from a drug ring op- erating out of Port Perry, and the dismantling of a grow operation the size of a football field in Brock Township each highlight the good works of the DRPS, Chief Ewles said. “As a service we are recognized as being a major player in provin- cial initiatives,” he said. The DRPS is breaking new ground with a youth strategy, re- storative justice, statistical analy- sis and performance measure- ment. The service was ranked fourth among comparators in crime rates and third in total criminal code clearance rates, he told councillors. “We are putting significant en- ergy into road safety,” Chief Ewles said. “Drive around the region and you will see the testament to the importance of road safety, memorials to people who have died, and those memorials are tended to year in and year out. “We are out ahead of the curve with regard to gang issues,” he said. “We aren’t experiencing the issues that are neighbours to our west are.” Knives and guns are now com- monplace in investigations and Chief Ewles said officers expect them going into situations. “We are in a period of transition Police reflect on past year, look to future ✦ See Chief, Page 2 401 KING S T O N R D BROCK RD.WESTNEY RD.SheridanSheridan CHEVROLET CADILLAC LTD.

There needs to be a comprehensive re- view of frontline policing for more effective deployment and time for proactive prob- lem solving. “We have to enhance partnerships in terms of training our officers in dealing with people with mental illness,” he said. “The last two police shootings were involv- ing people with metal illness.” He said the keys to becoming more effec- tive are working with community partners, listening to the ideas of frontline officers and seeking input from the public. Terry Clayton, Police Services Board chairman, said the focus in the upcoming year will be on achieving results. “There will always be reactive policing, but to be more proactive we are trying to allow the officers to get out there instead of waiting to respond to crime,” he said. Mr. Clayton said emergency response is a challenge, and an eight-minute response time target is set in 90 per cent of calls for service. Future challenges, he said, also include staying ahead with intelligence-led polic- ing to manage growth, advocating for policy improvements and securing sustainable funding. “All of this, we hope, will improve polic- ing in Durham Region,” Mr. Clayton said. 2007 Trends - January to September Calls for service are up 2 per cent to 94,391 Crimes against persons are up 4.3 per cent Crimes against property are down 9.4 per cent There have been 18 motor vehicle collision deaths compared to 25 in 2006 There have been two homicides compared to six in all of 2006. Chief wants officers trained in dealing with mental illness ✦ Chief from page 1 Court imposes ban on ID of victim, suspect Third confirmed homicide in 2007 By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A woman has been charged with sec- ond-degree murder after a man was found dead by po- lice responding to a domes- tic incident early Tuesday in Oshawa. But a court-ordered pub- lication ban put in place Wednesday means the iden- tities of the accused and the victim cannot be released. The ban has been applied to protect the identity of the woman’s children, said Durham homicide Detective Dave Henderson. Publication of names “would lead to the identity of some witnesses,” he said. Neighbours told reporters children were present at the home, on Elgin Street West in central Oshawa, when police responded to a 911 call placed from the house around 4 a.m. Tuesday. The children, described by neighbours as school aged, are with their biological fa- ther now, Det. Henderson said. Police have not released the cause of death in the incident. The 43-year-old suspect appeared in court Wednesday and was re- manded in custody. Because of the nature of the charge any attempt at obtaining bail for the woman would be heard in Superior Court rather than the On- tario Court setting in which lesser charges are typically heard, Det. Henderson said. This is the third confirmed homicide of the year in Dur- ham Region and the second that appears to have arisen from a domestic incident. In March Moira Reilly, 31, was charged with second-degree murder after 50-year-old Henricus Hubertus Prum- mel died of stab wounds in his Whitby home. Meanwhile, first-degree murder charges were laid against three people after the body of 33-year-old Karl O’Reggio was discovered at a house on Tresher Court in Ajax in July. And police continue to investigate the deaths of a Cannington man and his son whose bodies, bearing evi- dence of stab wounds, were found inside a burned-out house in August. Another son was found at the scene of the blaze with burns and was questioned by homicide investigators in that inci- dent.

This weekend, clocks are moved back one hour. At the same time, Ajax Fire and Emergency Ser- vices reminds residents to change the batteries in their smoke alarms. “Changing smoke alarm batteries once a year is one of the simplest, most effective ways to re- duce tragic deaths and injuries. In fact, a working smoke alarm cuts your risk of dying in a home fire by nearly half, and it’s the law in Ontario to have working smoke alarms on every level of your home,” says Fire Chief Randy Wilson. While most Canadian homes have smoke alarms, devices that aren’t working is all too com- mon. Chief Wilson notes the absence of working smoke alarms contributes to many of the fire-re- lated deaths in Canada last year. Overall, about 70 per cent of home fire deaths in Canada happen in homes without working smoke alarms, he adds. “The most commonly cited cause of non-work- ing smoke alarms is old or missing batteries,” the chief states. In addition to changing the batteries, Chief Wilson recommends residents test smoke alarms once a month by pushing the test button. He also urges residents to change flashlight bat- teries and to plan two escape routes out of their residences.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTER TO THE EDITOR Tax relief benefits people, businesses Prescription helps keep economy rolling Faced with a massive surplus, a surging loonie and con- cerns about manufacturing job losses, federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty dealt with all three in Tuesday’s economic statement. The Whitby-Oshawa MP, whose government is awash in extra cash, did what Conservative governments usually do and provided generous, across-the-board tax cuts. As a result, all Canadians will have more money to spend to keep a hot economy on the boil. The mini-budget, which passed in the House of Commons on Wednesday, makes good on a Conservative promise to cut another cent off the GST. That will take effect on Jan. 1, several years ahead of the campaign pledge made by Stephen Harper during the last federal campaign. Mr. Flaherty also took hundreds of thousands of low-in- come Canadians off the tax rolls by raising the basic personal exemption from $8,929 to $9,600 in 2008 and to $10,100 for 2009. The lowest tax rate has also dropped from 15.5 per cent to 15 per cent. The pledges mean billions of dollars in the pockets of average Canadians. Of equal importance, considering the challenges faced by businesses dealing with increasing foreign competition and a soaring loonie, are the expansive corporate tax cuts an- nounced by the minister. To help stem some of the job losses faced by major manu- facturers -- think auto makers like General Motors -- Mr. Flaherty has cut the corporate tax rate from the current 20.5 per cent to 19.5 per cent in 2008. It will drop all the way to 15 per cent by 2012, giving Canada the lowest corporate tax rate in the developed world. The billions in tax savings corpora- tions will make in years to come can be used to reinvest to make them more competitive and efficient. And that may stem some of the job loss seen in recent years. Small business tax rates will be dropped to 11 per cent in 2008 as well. While the tax measures won’t please everyone, they are the most sensible response to massive surpluses. Even with all these measures, the feds will still pay down the national debt by some $11 billion this year. That’s a response that seeks to leave less debt for future generations. Interim coach Bowler’s a believer H as faith losses will turn into wins soon John Bowler believes without hesita- tion the Ajax Attack will be a top- drawer team in the OHA Ontario Pro- vincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League soon enough. And, no, he’s not taking hallucinogens of any kind. Bowler’s on the level. Although the Attack’s currently with- out a win in its last six games, and with- out a head coach, the team’s certainly not without hope and promise, says Bowler. The director of hockey operations, who stepped into the breach as interim head coach last weekend, is certain the fran- chise’s transformation from also-rans to a top tier II junior team will be achieved within a relatively short time, perhaps even as early as next season. “A year seems like a long time in the life of a hockey program, but it’s not. We’ve got a good program here and kids in Ajax should be aspiring to play in their own community. We’ve got a lot of Ajax kids in there now and the (assistant) coaches (Trevor Nkiwane and TJ Hill) are young guys, Ajax guys. “There’s a lot of good ones playing in Ajax; I’ve seen the midgets and the minor midgets play and there’s no reason why with all these new homes that (the Ajax Attack) isn’t a place where a kid would want to play. We want to get this team to the next level; there are no shortcuts.” Bowler has as solid a tier II junior hockey pedigree as anyone in the league, serving for many years as the coach and general manager of the Wexford Raiders, a perennial elite junior franchise. The Raiders became the Toronto Junior Ca- nadians last season. He was brought into Ajax last season as the president and director of hockey op- erations, essentially to serve as an over- seer and mentor to the Attack coaches and general manager in the fine art of laying the foundation for future success. And, making headway in building a junior hockey winner in Ajax is a big job indeed. The Attack has enjoyed incre- mental success over two seasons of play, and even less success in previous seasons when they were known as the Ajax Axe- men. Right now, Bowler is only interested in bridging the coaching void until a new head coach is named. He notes that should happen shortly. In the short term, he predicts his strug- gling team will be beating teams with regularity by Christmas. In the long term, he sees a bright future for the team. “Most of the guys here are a year away from being really good players in this league. A year from today, with very few changes to the lineup, we should be mov- ing forward. We should look like a good team for years to come, with a nice turn- over of four or five players a year,” he predicts. Al Rivett’s column appears every third Friday. E-mail arivett@durhamregion. com. Al Rivett staff writer GM, retirees do much to help cancer patients To the editor: I am a General Motors retiree who volunteers for the Cana- dian Cancer Society. I organize cash collections at the gates for the annual spring daffodil drive and recently, for the auto blitz for pros- tate cancer research. These workers continually give to our events and much more for other agencies. You realize when you are collecting how important their contributions are. In many cases the general public would not even be aware of how much they give. General Motors has supplied vehicles for the transporta- tion of cancer patients for treatment for many years and it is their retirees that do the driving. I just want to thank the Canadian Auto Workers and General Motors of Canada for their generosity and just ask you to think about this the next time you order a vehicle.

Tracy Barill was appointed as- sistant superintendent of educa- tion-school effectiveness at the Oct. 22 board meeting. “The position is a new position that has been funded through the Numeracy and Literacy Sec- retariat,” said Paul Pulla, direc- tor of education for the Catholic board. A provincial body under the Ministry of Education, the secre- tariat’s goal is to improve student achievement in reading, writing and math. It recently launched the School Effectiveness Initiative, which Ms. Barill will lead for Durham’s Catholic elementary schools. She’ll be working with princi- pals on self-assessments of their own schools and on system re- views of some selected schools. A veteran educator, Ms. Barill has been with the board since 1992 serving as a teacher, ele- mentary vice-principal and prin- cipal. She was most recently the principal at St. Anthony Daniel Catholic School in Pickering. Ms. Barill has taken a leader- ship roll in a number of board initiatives including the Leader- ship Induction Program and the Leading Student Achievement Program. “Tracy has numerous experi- ences in the area of instructional leadership, many of them are a natural flow into this new initia- tive,” said Mr. Pulla.

Durham Region and the Durham District School Board launched the new curricu- lum unit on Tuesday with a little help from Grade 5 stu- dents from Fallingbrook Public School in Whitby. “Today we are highlighting what I believe is an important element in educating our chil- dren and celebrating the part- nership behind that effort,” said regional chairman Roger Anderson. Susan Tanner’s Grade 5 class invited officials to test their Durham knowledge. “We thought what better way to show you how much we learned than to play Are You Smarter Than a Fallingbrook Fifth Grader,” said Ms. Tanner. Ten-year-old Danielle Camp- bell supplied one of the correct answers to Mr. Anderson. She said learning about the Region was neat. “I think it’s fun, but it can be a little bit hard because I’ve never learned about the government, so I’m taking it all in.” Hilary Fraser said she was excited to play the game and had fun learning about mu- nicipal government. “I think it’s really important that we know about it and I think Mrs. Tanner made it re- ally fun and exciting for us to learn,” said Hilary. The video highlights the Re- gion’s services and the unit will be a part of the Grade 5 and 10 civics curriculum. “We’re particularly grateful for the unit because it is a qual- ity resource supplied free of charge to all our schools,” said Whitby trustee Chris- tine Winter. Fallingbrook prin- cipal Cathy Coon- Brooks said the school works hard to teach the students to be leaders and learning about the Region is part of that. “Un- derstanding the leaders in our community is part of under- standing what leadership in- volves,” she said. And, Ms. Coon-Brooks said understanding the community will help the students value it. For example, if they break or damage public property, they’ll realize there isn’t a bottomless pot of money to pay for repairs. “The big picture is we’re hop- ing, by developing a sense of where they belong, when they go through their teenage years, they’ll be connected to us,” said Ms. Coon-Brooks. “We’re really hoping to make good citizens; that’s the leader- ship piece.” In addition to par- ticipating in the launch, Ms. Tanner’s class got a chance to talk to Region staff and check out their vehicles, including an ambulance and a police cruis- er.

DURHAM — An 18-year-old Oshawa resident faces several gun-related charges after a man was arrested in Ajax Tuesday, Oct. 30. The guns and gangs unit of the Durham Regional Police was “investigating a subject known to have a gun,” says Ser- geant Paul McCurbin. Police claim the man was making drug deals before get- ting into a taxi. When the cab was stopped by police, he jumped out and ran off. While running, police said the man dropped a loaded, semi-auto- matic handgun. Police quickly found the man hiding in some bushes. He was arrested in the Hwy. 401 and Westney Road area around 5:30 p.m. Brandon Michael Hill of Taunton Road East faces nine charges, including the unau- thorized possession of a fire- arm, possession of a loaded prohibited firearm, possession of a weapon obtained by crime, weapons dangerous, posses- sion of a weapon contrary to an order, having a firearm in a motor vehicle, breach of proba- tion and possession of a con- trolled substance (marijuana).

Kindergarten teacher Jill Snape ac- cepted the school award on behalf of Vaughan Willard Public School at the CIB awards luncheon on Monday. Ms. Snape explained each year, Kin- dergarten children plant annuals in the spring, and Ms. Snape takes the Grade 3 students out to the garden to study and plant bulbs, a part of their curriculum, adding to the garden, which consists of a Red Oak tree and a ginkgo tree, for example. “I think it looks lovely in the spring time, especially,” she said. A tree and plaque will be donated to the school in the spring. Mayor Dave Ryan, some Council members, City employees, CIB cor- porate sponsors and winners gath- ered at the Pickering Town Centre to celebrate Pickering’s success in its first time participating in the provin- cial competition. The City received a top score, a 5- bloom rating, and also top environ- mental honours. “Not only is community spirit alive and well, we have been able to harvest it and channel it toward a common goal,” said Mayor Ryan, the Pickering CIB co-chairman. Pickering resident and CityTV news anchor Mark Dailey emceed the event, and praised Pickering’s beauty, saying “I’ve actually been a very proud resident of Pickering for nearly 10 years.” CIB judge and host of Indoor Gar- dener and One Garden Two Looks, Denis Flanagan, said Pickering’s judges were among the most expe- rienced and mentioned “You did a fabulous job to impress those guys.” Ward 2 Regional Councillor and CIB co-chairman Bill McLean, said he’s proud of Pickering’s finish in the competition, and “to be successful, we need everyone to do their part.” Trustee In Bankruptcy TrusteeTrustee In In BankruptcyBankruptcy James R.

Rob MacIsaac, the chairman of the Greater Toronto Transporta- tion Authority, said the GTA is in the top five in North America in terms of being the most traffic- congested cities. “If we carry on the trajectory we’re on, we’ll be in the top two. We’ll share it with Los Angeles,” Mr. MacIsaac said during a speech in Ajax on Thursday. He was speaking at a workshop hosted by the Town of Ajax called Go Green to Work. The goals of the workshop were to encourage local businesses to develop and implement active transportation plans to reduce care dependency, air pollution and traffic conges- tion. Among those on hand to hear Mr. MacIsaac were Oshawa Mayor John Gray and Pickering Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley. “There are two distinct futures we face. Do we want to be like Los Angeles or do we want a bright- er future,” Mr. MacIsaac asked. “We’re not going to get rid of cars. Everybody in their heart of hearts realizes that.” The GTTA was set up by the Province to co-ordinate and de- velop a transportation plan for the GTA and Hamilton. While vehicles will continue to be part of the future, “that doesn’t mean we have to accept the status quo,” Mr. MacIsaac stated. “The key issue is population growth. We’re in one of the fastest- growing places in North America,” he said, noting in the next 25 years, about three million people will move to the GTA and Hamilton areas, bringing 1.5 million more cars. He said that many people and vehicles would be like “the whole city of Montreal picking up stakes and moving here. From my perspective, it’s time to start thinking” about active trans- portation initiatives, Mr. MacIsaac noted. Transportation is the “single largest source” of greenhouse gases, amounting more than a quarter of the total. “Changes to the transportation system are likely to play a role, plain and simple,” Mr. MacIsaac stated. Increased pollution is also hav- ing a tremendous impact on the health system, he noted, saying it costs about $8 billion a year in premature deaths, hospital admis- sions, emergency room visits and sick days off work. He noted, “Less than half of Ca- nadian children walk to school,” adding when he was a child, ev- eryone walked to school. “It was a real treat when mom or dad drove you to school. “We find ourselves in this situ- ation because of the way we plan and fund transportation. It’s plain and simple, we’ve underfunded the transportation system for a number of years, he said adding governments need to “take walk- ing and cycling more seriously than in the past.” That would mean using cars less and that means less pollution. “We need to develop a system that makes walking and cycling sim- pler and easier.” Pickering Town Centre, 1355 Kingston Road, Pickering 905-831-5153 First Simcha Shopping Centre, 1899 Brock Road, Pickering 905-428-9451 tiptoptailors.ca Receive a free $20 scarf when you buy any outerwear from $69.99 Dental Care for Adults, Kids and Great Big Babies. • A Full Range of Dental Treatments - Bring the whole family. • Saturday & Evening Appointments - To serve you better. • Flexible Payment Options - Helping you get the treatment you want. • A Relaxing Atmosphere - Virtual vision glasses, stereo headphones to help ensure you have a pleasant visit.

But Russian fraud artist Sergui Ko- koouline’s career came to a screeching halt Tuesday, when an Ontario Court judge found him guilty of perpetrating a scam that saw dozens of debit card users swindled out of more than $25,000. In delivering the guilty verdict in an Oshawa courtroom, Justice Donald Halikowski said the Crown had pre- sented incontrovertible evidence Mr. Kokoouline is the man who took a job at an Oshawa gas bar in the spring of 2006 then vanished, making off with data “skimmed” from unsuspecting custom- ers’ cards. “The court is satisfied (Mr. Ko- koouline) and Sergey Torfimov are one and the same person,” the judge said, re- ferring to the alias the accused man used in obtaining employment at the Simcoe Street North Sunoco station. Mr. Koko- ouline was found guilty of more than a dozen charges relating to fraud and theft of data, which occurred after he landed the gas bar job in May 2006. After un- dergoing training Mr. Kokoouline -- who was serving a conditional sentence for fraud in York Region at the time -- gained the owner’s confidence and by late May was working the night shift by himself. Over the course of a few weeks he man- aged to read encoded data on debit cards and obtain PIN numbers. Fraud detec- tive Jeff Caplan said the suspect recorded data by double-swiping cards through a small hand-held device and then relied on his ability to “shoulder surf” -- look- ing over a customer’s shoulder to watch as they carried out the transaction on the gas bar’s debit terminal -- to steal PIN information. Police believe he transferred the stolen data to blank cards, then with- drew cash from ATMs, punch- ing in the stolen PINs. One piece of evidence entered at trial was an image of Mr. Koko- ouline using an ATM on Yonge Street in Toronto to withdraw money from the bank account of a cus- tomer who’d made a debit transaction at the Oshawa gas bar. On June 18, the man known as Sergey Torfimov failed to show up for his shift. He never came back to collect for the hours of work he was owed; the security tapes from his time at the station had vanished. When the owner went to the address given him by the mystery employee, he found a Don Mills Road plaza with no residen- tial units. Det. Jeff Caplan was assigned the file and posted an alert featuring a picture of the suspect from a driver’s li- cence the station owner had been given. A tip from a fellow cop led him to Mr. Kokoouline, a resident of King Township in York Region. When Mr. Kokoouline showed up for a scheduled visit with his probation officer in Newmarket last September, Durham cops were waiting for him. Mr. Kokoouline was released on bail but was picked up again in April for breaching conditions of that release; he was found to be in possession of debit and credit card data and blank plastic cards with strips on which data could be encoded. Charges relating to those items are still before the courts. Immediately after his conviction Tuesday, Mr. Kokoouline said through his lawyer, Boris Bytensky, that he’ll launch a motion to have his charges stayed because he didn’t appear in bail court within 24 hours of his arrest. That motion is to be heard Dec. 18, the same day Justice Halikowski is scheduled to hear submissions on sentencing.

The money was donated to the foundation as part of the Mayors’ Charity Golf Classic, a fundraiser for the hospital, and it’s the second year that the firefighters have taken a leadership role in the sponsorship of the tournament. The money will go toward the hospital re-development program. From left are Bruce Kinsman, Mike Palachik, Neil Delory, Jim Witty, Bill Collier and Colin Arnott.

Now that we are proceeding we are trying to get the information out.” In 1974, the Region took over the ownership and operation of the 40.5-hectare site. The Province, in October 2006, ordered the Region to address on-and-off-site impacts related to its operation, which required the Region to develop and submit an RAP and Site Operations Report (SOR). “Basically we got an order to do something about the leachate migration,” Mr. Curtis said. Mirka Januszkiewicz, Durham’s director of waste management services, explained the leach- ate, polluted liquid that drains from a landfill, has moved beyond the Region’s property line. “You can see it on an adjacent property, visible stains from the leachate migration,” she said. “It’s in the surface water.” There are no drinking water wells in the vicin- ity, but Ms. Januszkiewicz said, without the execu- tion of the RAP the leachate would move more and more. “That is why we need to stop this,” she said. “If it was not addressed this could impact ground water and eventually could impact everyone around.” Durham Region submitted the RAP to the min- istry for review and consideration in January, as required by the order. After meeting with the ministry on several occasions, Mr. Curtis said the Region is proceeding with the implementation of all the elements of the RAP and SOR. The plan included optimizing the remaining capacity, 850,000 tonnes of garbage, but accord- ing to Ms. Januszkiewicz, Regional Council only approved bringing in 80,000 tonnes of garbage and 40,000 tonnes of daily cover, which will be used to shape the landfill. It will then be covered before a leachate collection system is put in. “Every layer of waste has to be covered with a clean material that in the end there will be a dome that will steer the leachate and prevent it from going through the waste,” Ms. Januszkiewicz explained. “It will be collected and tested and if it meets requirements then it will be discharged to the water course.” According to Mr. Curtis, a com- munity liaison group will be set up with regard to the work being done. “If we want to check the pulse of the community we will go through them,” he said. “We are hoping to get the group rolled out by the beginning of next year.” As well, a public information centre is being planned for sometime in November.

A new day for Adelaide House Former hostel offers second stage housing for at-risk women By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Two months after YWCA Durham made the difficult decision to close its emergency hostel service for women and children, a new vision for Adelaide House has been unveiled. The sprawling 1920s home will soon become “second-stage housing” for sin- gle, at-risk women, providing a crucial middle step for those trying to re-inte- grate into the community. “Women with children have more op- tions available to them when it comes to subsidized housing. There needs to be something for single women,” said Wendy Leeder, co-executive director of YWCA Durham. “This will be somewhere they can go, where they are safe and secure and have everything they need.” The second-stage housing program will offer 33 beds in single rooms, which will be rented on a sliding scale, geared to income. A meal plan offering breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week will be offered for $20 a month and the facility will include laundry, shared bathrooms, common rooms with phones and cable television, along with counselling, advo- cacy and skills training. Potential tenants must be referred by social services agency and complete an application process. “Ontario Works is $548 a month and a lot of women are paying $450 or $500 to rent rooms where they’re not safe or they can’t even cook for themselves,” Ms. Leeder said. YWCA Durham was recently approved for $100,000 in one-time capital funding from the Ministry of Community and Social Services, to begin transforming Adelaide House from a hostel, into sec- ond-stage housing. A good portion of the funding will be used to divide exist- ing bedrooms, bringing the number of rooms up to 33 from 26. Because it is no longer a hostel, the Region of Durham won’t be providing funding for the new venture. However, Ms. Leeder said revenue from the wom- en’s monthly rent combined with fund- ing from the United Way, will be enough to run the program, adding the Province will provide $40,000 per year for a staff position. YWCA officials are also planning to investigate other revenue opportunities, such as renting out the house’s ornate Drawing Room and Oak Room for com- munity use and using the stained glass windows and grand staircase to attract wedding photographers and magazine photo shoots. “This is such an opportunity to have a new vision for this place,” Ms. Leeder said. “We did amazing work as a hostel for 35 years and now it’s time for some- thing else. People ask, ‘what about the homeless women?’ and we ask that too, we’re the ones who cared for them and sheltered them for 35 years. But it’s not something we can do anymore and it shouldn’t only fall on us to provide that.” DURHAM — Once again, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Dur- ham will be combating impaired driv- ing during the holiday season, with its annual “Project Red Ribbon -- Tie One on for Safety” campaign which kicked off on Nov. 1. This year, more than four million red ribbons will be distributed through- out Canada. MADD Durham is urging local residents to get involved by tying a red ribbon on a car antennae, side mirror or other visible location on their vehicle or key chain. The red ribbon is a symbol of com- mitment to drive safe and sober during the holiday season and throughout the year. “Red ribbons help increase aware- ness during the holiday season by changing the meaning of tie one on,” said Melissa Langworth, president of the MADD Durham chapter. Every day, about four Canadians are killed and more than 187 are injured in alcohol or drug-related crashes. Donations made in Durham stay in the local community to help MADD fund programs such as pre-prom pre- sentations at high schools. Tie a red ribbon on for MADD Ajax among stops in search for new faces By Parvaneh Pessian Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — A well- known talent and model scout has chosen Durham Region as the home for her next search. Pat Jarosz has helped launch numerous suc- cessful careers with her extensive background and close contact with top agents. Anyone from ages three and up who is interested in modelling, acting, sing- ing or dancing is encour- aged to come out. The Pat Jarosz Model and Talent Search has been all over North Amer- ica but this is its first time in Durham Region. “I find it’s often outside of the main cities that I am able to find people who have wonderful tal- ents,” Ms. Jarosz said. During the prelimi- naries taking place next month, Ms. Jarosz con- ducts interviews to get to know each person and highlight the areas of po- tential. “Every child is cute but some may be a bit too shy or too rambunctious so I can recognize that and let them know if they’re ready or what market they’re good for.” Ms. Jarosz was a model herself for five years, worked as an agent for 20 years and has been scout- ing for six. She has worked with children who had little to no experience in the in- dustry when she met them and are now appearing in magazines, on television and in films. The winners in 2003 and 2004 represented Canada in the Ford Supermodel of the World finals. She has also contributed to the careers of big names like Carrie-Ann Moss and Linda Evangelista. There are a lot of mis- conceptions about the modelling industry that Ms. Jarosz said she works hard to dispel. “Whether on a runway or applying for a job at Tim Hortons, (we teach) how to walk with confidence,” she said. The preliminaries are free to attend and the only cost is $25 for a T-shirt and seminar for those who make it to the finals. Ms. Jarosz currently produces special events and has appeared as a modelling expert on Fash- ionTelevision, CityLine and Eye on Toronto. As this is not her main source of income, Ms. Jarosz said she is against hidden fees and the mis- treatment of young talent. “I am anti taking the money,” she said. “I just want people to know they don’t need to go through a school or a convention ...or spend a thousand dollars on portfolios.” Ms. Jarosz’s search will take place at Real Canadi- an Superstore locations. It will be in Whitby on Satur- day, Nov. 3, at 200 Taunton Rd. W. from 2-6 p.m., in Oshawa on Sunday, Nov. 4, at 1385 Harmony Rd. N. from noon to 4 p.m., and in Ajax on Sunday, Nov. 11, at 30 Kingston Rd. W. from noon to 4 p.m. Ms. Jarosz hopes to see as many people as she can. “I’ve had 10 people come and I’ve had hun- dreds show up,” she said. “I’m really glad to be able to help anyone and direct them.” For more informa- tion, send an e-mail to patjarosz@hotmail.com. www.sklargallery.com Exceptional Warranty Superior Construction Fast Delivery Durham’s Newest & Largest Sklar Peppler Furnishings Store!

The workers, employed at the Region’s six child- care centre and three nursery schools, received a certificate recognizing the work they do on a daily basis. Staff working in the chil- dren’s services division of social services at Regional headquarters were also recognized. “We are proud of the in- dividuals who work in our child-care centres and at Regional headquarters,” said Dr. Hugh Drouin, Commissioner of Social Services. “They provide the foun- dation for each child’s edu- cation by administering high-quality programs and services, while designating them to meet the needs of each individual.” Regional Councillor Colleen Jordan, director of children’s services Rox- anne Lambert, and Helen Gibb-Gavel, President of CUPE 1764, presented the certificates. Oct. 24 was chosen by the Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care, the Canadian Union of Public Employ- ees, and other labour part- ners who represent child- care workers across the province to highlight the benefits to communities from the work of these in- dividuals.

He starts an affair with a young woman. Then his wife learns she is ill and asks him to take care of her. It’s very emotionally based. It’s more about their journey.” Andy and Evelyn have been married for 16 years but things have changed in their relation- ship. Andy has been “downsized” from his job and takes up with Samantha. When Evelyn is di- agnosed with a serious illness, she turns to Andy for comfort and help. What is he to do? He has his wants, Evelyn has hers as does Samantha. What’s the right thing to do? The play looks at all three peo- ple, their lives and their strug- gles, Ottaway said. The emotional play includes some swearing and sexuality and is best suited for older teens and adults, she added. The set and costumes are kept to a minimum in order to focus on the “intriguing, moving” words, the characters and the emotions. Appearing as Andy is David Laing, known not only as an actor but an accomplished sing- er. Brenda Hartman-Craven is Ev- elyn, returning to the stage after some time off for education. Hilsha Vasani is Samantha, in her third performance for DSP. “They really came into it with very good attitudes,” Ottaway said. “I’m very proud of how far they’ve come.” Ottaway is directing her sec- ond full-length play after gradu- ating from theatre studies in col- lege. ‘Apples’ will be staged Nov. 2, 3 and 7 to 10 at the Arts Resource Centre, Queen Street, behind City Hall in downtown Oshawa. Tickets are $10 and are avail- able at the United Way Infor- mation Services kiosk in the Oshawa Centre, by calling 905- 725-9256 or online at www.dur- hamshoestring.org. Emotions run high in season’s first play Looking for Ajax’s worst handyman and woman AJAX — If you think duct tape is the answer to any household problem, you may want to apply for Canada’s Worst Handyman. The show, going into its third sea- son, is looking for the nation’s worst handymen and women. For this season’s project, the handymen and women are going to flip a house in Ontario. They will have two weeks to update and upgrade every part of the house. At the end of the two weeks, professionals will tell them how much value they’ve added to the property. The producers of the show will be in Ajax in November to meet handymen and women to fill the spots. To have a chance to be on the show, or if you know a friend or family member whom you think should be on the show, e-mail your nomination to Canada’s Worst Handyman 3 at handyman@propertelevision.com or call 1-866-598-2591.

Entertainment in brief NOVEMBER 2, 2007 Women and War focus of Reading and Remembrance DURHAM — Educators have the opportunity to teach their students more about Canadian history, and how women contributed to the Al- lied war efforts. The Durham West Arts Centre, Ontario Power Generation and the Royal Canadian Legion, Ontario Branch, are joining together to honour veterans and war workers with the third Reading and Remem- brance Project: Women and War. According to a DWAC press re- lease, women were war artists, de- coders, pilots, spies, ambulance drivers, munitions and postal workers in the First and Second world wars. Over 500,000 Canadian women played significant roles, with female participation among the Al- lies reaching into the millions. “The stories of these female he- roes add inspiring highlights to the significant roles played by veterans, male and female,” says Angie Little- field, key researcher for the teacher resources found at www.dwac.ca. “When young people read about the Wrens who stood to sing ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ at a remote Cana- dian base upon hearing of the Allied victory or about the female African- American soldiers who, against all odds, got the mail moving in Eu- rope, they will be impressed.” There are teacher resources available and teachers who register receive a specially created poster featuring the roles of women in war. The 2005 materials on ‘In Flanders Fields’, and the 2006 materials on ‘Holocaust and Anti-Racism’ are also available. Teachers can use any of the material to participate and may vary the time of the project. “The idea is that we wish to promote the literary arts, support veterans and preserve Canadian heritage. We’re very flexible about how teachers use our materials to do that,” says Gary Faulkner, the project’s manager. For more information, call Gary Faulkner at 905-686-1325. Night at the Oshawa-Durham s ymphony features popular arias By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — It’s another night at the opera for Oshawa-Durham Symphony Orchestra this month. And artistic director Marco Parisotto of Ajax is promising a power-packed night of popular, well-known opera arias. “I don’t think there are any pieces on the program that no- body knows,” he said. “You’ll have heard this music somewhere even if you don’t know much about opera. It’s like the best of opera.” Along with the best of opera comes a change of night for the concert. Look for A Night at the Opera on Thursday, Nov. 8, at Cal- vary Baptist Church, at Rossland and Ritson roads in Oshawa. This change was due to the availability of the venue, he said, noting the rest of the season goes back to Saturday night concerts. (Since the orchestra has no home of its own, it sometimes has to change nights. Parisotto has been pushing for a performing arts cen- tre in Durham for several years.) This year, the opera concert is distinctly European with a South American flair. The orchestra and special guests are tackling popular Italian and French arias. The orchestra will be throwing in some Wagner in between arias. Special guests are tenor Edu- ardo Calcano, a Venezuelan na- tive, and baritone Guillermo Ruiz, from Mexico. Both are big tal- ents in the music world, Parisotto said. Tickets for the concert are $40 for adults and seniors, $15 for students and are available online at www.odso.ca or by phone at 905-579-6711. Ticket outlets include the Dur- ham College book store, Connie’s Brooklin Village Shopped in Brooklin, and Durham School of Music in Ajax. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 26 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, November 2, 2007 SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com THIS WEEKEND The Ajax-Pickering Dolphins tyke and atom football teams host their semifinal playoff games Sunday at Pickering’s Kinsmen Park, starting at 9:30 a.m. Dunbarton hosts Welsh school for rugby exchange Pickering last stop on Brecon’s tour of Ontario schools PICKERING — A rugby friend- ship dating back more than 20 years between a Pickering school and one from Wales will be re- kindled this weekend. Members of the Brecon school rugby team from Wales arrives at Dunbarton High School on Sat- urday and will be billeted with members of the Spartans rugby team until Sunday. In between, the schools will play an exhibition rugby game at the Ajax Wanderers Rugby Club on Sunday at 3 p.m. According to Dunbarton coach Terry Fallis, the rugby exchanges between the schools began in the mid-80s. The Brecon team last vis- ited the team in 2005, with the Dunbarton rugby squad travelling overseas to Brecon in 2006. The Brecon entourage of 31 players and four staff members has been in Canada since Sun- day, where they visited Stouffville High School on their first leg of their time in Ontario. On Wednes- day, they were in Midland for the second leg before finishing up in Pickering. Fallis says all former Dunbar- ton players who’ve taken part in previous exchanges with Brecon -- a farming community north of Cardiff -- are invited to Sunday afternoon’s exhibition tilt. The 16- and 17-year-old Welsh players will also have an outing to a paintball facility during their stay in Pickering. As well, they’ll also journey to Niagara Falls on Monday. Prior to returning home to Wales on Tuesday, the Brecon school players will tour the Toronto Zoo and a shopping mall. Fast facts The Dunbarton High School Spartans host Brecon school from northern Wales in an ex- hibition game at the Ajax Wan- derers Rugby Club, Harwood Avenue North, on Sunday at 3 p.m. Spartans’ coach Terry Fallis extends an invitation to all former Dunbarton players who’ve taken part in previous exchanges with Brecon to come out to the game and renew acquaintances following the contest.

Chris Robinson was outstanding for the Monarchs, tallying their only touchdown on the kick-off return following the game’s opening touchdown by Juevol Myles. Robinson also electrified the crowd with brilliant returns on a wide field-goal attempt and a punt return where both times he had only one defender to beat before being tackled. St. Mary finished without a win and missed the playoffs for the first time in school history. Notre Dame 19, Uxbridge 13 The Notre Dame Cougars completed their most successful season compiling a 5-1 record. Once again, Dave Delgado was the Cougars’ sparkplug contributing a touchdown offensively and earning credit for a two-point safety defensively. The Cougars finished in a tie for division honours with the Eastdale Eagles. An earlier loss to Eastdale, however, denied the Cougars their first division title. With the loss, Uxbridge is rel- egated to ‘B’ pool play. Brandon King scored both Tigers’ touchdowns. Notre Dame meets the Paul Dwyer Saints in an ‘A’ pool playoff game featuring two 5-1 teams. Dwyer 36, Dunbarton 0 Matt Gely powered the Saints over the Spartans with two first-quarter touchdowns to secure second place in the Powers Division. The Saints rebounded from a devastating loss to the Wilson Gators in Week 5 with their best offensive effort of the season as they tallied five touchdowns. Dunbarton decided to cancel team practices on Tuesday and Wednes- day due to poor attendance and a perceived lack of commitment. This was evident as the Saints dominated. Despite the loss, the Spartans still qualify for the ‘A’ pool earning the eighth and final position. Wilson 18, Pine Ridge 14 The Wilson Gators was the only team to finish with a perfect 6-0 record and are guaranteed home field advantage in the playoffs. Rashad La Touche and Jamal Darius accounted for all the scoring, including a 42-yard field goal into the wind by La Touche that probably would have cleared from 50 yards. The Pumas are relegated to ‘B’ pool play as winners of only two league games. Of their four losses, three were by five points or less, including losses to Pickering and Dunbarton. Wilson hosts Dunbarton (who they beat 35-3 earlier) in their playoff opener. Sinclair 16, Ajax 6 The Celtics handed the Rams their fifth loss this year. With the win, Sinclair earned the No. 1 seed in the ‘B’ pool playoffs and they will now host the 1-5 Clarington Central in the opening round. Ajax open their playoffs in Uxbridge, a team to which they lost earlier in the season by a 17-7 count. The Rams reduced their points against by over 100 from thel ast team that they fielded in 2005, however their offense generated only four touchdowns in six league games. Eastdale 56, Richardson 0 Eastdale Eagles claimed their first LOSSA divisional title since 1974. Since falling to Dwyer 17-15, Eastdale has won their past three games by a combined 122-7 score. Their 197 points scored and 30 allowed lead both categories. Richardson was apparently missing three key players and the Eagles took full advantage as Jay Lashinski led the eight touchdown onslaught with two majors. Richardson finished the season with three consecutive losses after opening 2-1 and they will now travel to Cannington to play Brock. Meanwhile Eastdale will host defending champion Pickering High Trojans in their playoff opener.

Specifically, Pickering Panthers forward Greg Payne won’t lose eyesight in one eye after taking an errant high stick to that re- gion of his face in the early going of Sunday’s game against the St. Michael’s Buzzers. “We’ve heard from him and he had minor surgery and is expect- ed to make a full recovery,” says Panthers’ head coach Mark Joslin. “There was no damage to the eye. It was a lot more serious looking when it happened.” The incident occurred in the first period of the contest, the second of a home-and-home se- ries between the two OHA On- tario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League squads. Buzzers’ forward Erik Axell’s stick clipped Payne in the eye, sending the Panther to the ice, with Payne bleeding profusely in the eye region. Axell was whistled for a high sticking double minor. Game officials immediately called 911 and ambulances and firefighters arrived on the scene, using the Panthers’ dressing room to adminis- ter first-aid treatment to Payne. Joslin notes the high stick to Payne’s face wasn’t an in- tentional act. “It was an accident, not an intent to injure,” says Joslin. “The stick came up under his visor.” Joslin says Axell has since touched base with Panthers’ gen- eral manager Frank Robinson, re- questing to reach Payne in order to apologize for the incident. “He want- ed to wish (Payne) a full and speedy re- covery, which I thought was classy,” says Joslin. Payne is expected to be away from the rink for at least a week. When he does return, however, he’s promised his mother that he will wear a full cage instead of a visor for the remainder of the season. The Panthers are back on the ice Friday, Nov. 2 against the Vaughan Vipers at the Pickering Recreation Complex. They are also on home ice on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. when they face the Durham Fury of Oshawa. Despite the turmoil surround- ing the injury to their teammate, the Panthers continued to play well on Sunday night, eventually dropping a 5-3 decision to the first-place Buzzers. “We couldn’t pull out the vic- tory, but the kids battled hard.” Rookie Andy Andreoff scored twice and Jamie MacQueen added a single against St. Mike’s on Sun- day. Too many Panthers’ penalties in Friday night’s contest opened the door to three Buzzers’ power- play goals in a 5-2 loss at the St. Michael’s College Arena. “If we had stayed disciplined, we would have won that game. Five-on-five we were right there with them,” says Joslin. Scott Brown and Payne scored the Panthers’ goals in Friday’s contest. The losses further mired the Panthers (5-12-0) in last place in the league’s South Conference standings, one point behind the eighth-place Ajax Attack.

There was no damage to the eye. It was a lot more serious looking when it happened.’ PANTHERS’ HEAD COACH MARK JOSLIN ON FORWARD GREG PAYNE’S CONDITION Panthers’ Postscript The first start by Pickering goal- tender Terrance Reid in Friday in Toronto against St. Mike’s was marred by equipment failure, spe- cifically his skates. The skate blade broke and couldn’t be fixed. Con- sequently, Brennan Potterzay came on in relief...The Panthers have picked up 20-year-old forward Chris Clark. Clark previously played for a tier II junior squad in Smith Falls. “He was available so we worked it out,” says Panthers head coach Mark Joslin. Clark registered an assist in Sunday’s loss to the Buzzers...The Panthers brought up Ryan Rinneard from their junior ‘C’ affiliate, the Ux- bridge Bruins, for Sunday’s game against St. Mike’s. Rinneard is the captain of the Bruins...The Panthers missed forward Chad Beal for the weekend, as he was in London with the OHL Knights... Pickering shoots down Windsor Spitfires to win own tournament PICKERING — The Pickering Pan- thers major bantam ‘AA’ rep hockey team shot down the rival Windsor Spitfires to capture the champion- ship at the Pickering Hockey Associ- ation ‘AA’ Tournament last weekend. The crown represented the Pickering bantam’s second tourna- ment victory of the month. The Panthers faced its tough- est opponent to date in the final, the Windsor Spitfires, which had beaten the Panthers in the round robin. The preliminary-round loss to Windsor did not sit well with the Panthers, who stormed out of the gate and scored one minute into the game. Patrick Simmonds opened the Pickering scoring, assisted by Karl Mueller and Cody Malloy. The Panthers kept Windsor pinned in its own end for the next six minutes before taking a 2-0 lead on a Mueller blast from the slot, assisted by David Thompson and Simmonds. Panthers’ goaltender Travis Meier stoned Windsor on a clear-cut break- away that sent the message the Pan- thers would not be beat. Trailing 2-0, Windsor began to unravel and started a parade to the penalty box in the second period that led to another Pickering goal and a 3-0 lead. Kirk Thomas’s booming point shot found the mark, assisted by Adam Berk and Simmonds. Windsor managed a power-play goal late in the second to cut the deficit to 3-1 going into the third. The Panthers cemented the win early in the third with a Tyler Traill goal, assisted by Derek Luening and Na- thaniel Hargraves. From there, the Panthers didn’t allow the Spitfires any opportunities for a comeback, limiting them to three shots on goal. After the final seconds ticked off the clock, Panthers stormed goaltender Meier in celebration. Patrick Simmonds was named Tournament MVP for the Panthers for his outstanding hustle and de- moralizing penalty killing. The semifinal was a masterful dis- play of the Panthers’ discipline and relentless pressure, ending in a 3–1 victory over the Goulding Park Rang- ers. The Panthers took an early lead in the first with a goal off a deflection by Michael Eccleston, assisted by Taylor Hunter and Thomas. Gould- ing Park tied it late in the second, but the Panthers responded a minute later with a Traill goal, assisted by Lu- ening, to take back the lead. An early third-period insurance marker by Mueller, assisted by David Thomp- son and Malloy, put the game away for the Panthers. Goalies Meier and Dylan Higgins combined for a 1.75 goals-against average. The defence corps of Berk, Matt Farrell, Hargraves (who also contributed at forward), Hunter, Mal- loy and Thomas played with poise and passion. Forwards Joe Doherty, Eccleston, Jordan Kotsopoulos, Lu- ening, Mueller, Simmonds, Thomp- son and Traill played with heart and hustle. Forward Adam Watson was un- able to play due to injury. The Panthers major bantams travel to Europe on Dec. 28 for a two-week excursion that will see the team in Budapest, Vienna, Salzburg, Munich, Cesky Krumlov and Prague.

Gold was the goal for Seton at the two-day Catholic Cup -- the largest Catholic school volleyball tournament in On- tario. Seton played a familiar rival in St. Barnabas of Toronto in the gold-medal game. The Toronto school had defeated Seton in the 2005 final. The teams also play each other several times each season in various tournaments. This time, the result was different. Seton won the first game 25-11, with the Pickering girls at the top of their game. The lead changed several time in an intense second game be- fore Seton clinched the Catho- lic Cup by a 25-21 score. In the semifinals, the Stars met St. Francis of Assisi from Halton Hills. This excellent team took Seton’s best hits and returned them in kind. The games were long and intense with two or three spikes per rally, but Seton prevailed tak- ing the match 25-21, 25-18 to move to the final for a fourth consecutive year. Playing St. Bridget from Brampton in the quarter-final match, Seton exhibited a de- termination and single-mind- ed purpose to prevail 25-14, 25-19. Playing pool games at St. Ig- natius of Loyola High School in Oakville, the St. Elizabeth Seton Stars finished first in their pool on the opening day to gain entrance to the cham- pionship pool during the sec- ond day of play. Prior to competing at the Catholic Cup, the Seton Stars played in the Cardinal New- man High School Toronto tournament on Thursday, Oct. 18. In the 10-team event, Seton emerged with the gold medal. Larry Noonan and Linda Naccarato coach the Seton Stars. Submitted photo The St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School Stars girls’ volleyball team captured the championship at the annual Catholic Cup volleyball tournament in Oakville recently. Seton was a finalist in each of the previous three Cup events, finally winning the title this year. Seton girls break through for Catholic Cup volleyball title Under-nines close season with Fall Fest championship win AJAX — The Ajax FoxFire girls’ under-nine soccer team was firing on all cylinders at the Fall Fest Soccer Tourna- ment in East York last week- end. The FoxFire girls ended a successful outdoor season by taking the championship in East York, defeating the North York Cosmos Explosion 3-1 in the final. In a hard-fought semifinal against the Clarkson Comets, the contest ended in a 1-1 draw at the end of regulation time. A 10-minute overtime session resulted in no further scoring, which forced a shootout in order to determine a winner. The first five shooters from each team approached the ball in an effort to score a goal. After the first five shooters, the score was tied at 3-3 with both goalkeepers performing admi- rably. The shootout then proceed- ed to single shooters, elevating the anticipation on both sides. The sixth shooter from both teams scored, but Clarkson’s seventh shooter was unsuc- cessful. The contest ended after the seventh shooter from Ajax scored. Ajax dominated its op- position during the round- robin stage, first by winning the morning game 2-0 over the Huronia District S.A. Se- lect and then by defeating the Dixie Bullets 3-0. The FoxFire then proceeded to overpower the Mooredale S.C. Select in the last game of the day 4-0. With a shut-out performance and nine goals scored, the Ajax FoxFire proved to be the stron- gest team of the day. The Ajax FoxFire are Aaliyah Peterson, Amanda Wray, Erin Kappel, Jaclyn Ronson, Paige Griffith, Amelia Owens, Victo- ria Denobrega, Teja Benjamin, Ursula Riley, Rebecca Klotz, Marie Hartley, Kiara Shaw, Tory Hickling, and Gillian Col- lins. Derrick Klotz and Brian Col- lins coach the team. Michele Wray and Gail Riley serve as co-managers.

TRENDset Boomers keep up pace through retirement DURHAM — Sixty billion dol- lars. That’s the amount of tax re- lief Canadians can expect to see over the next few years as the federal government cuts rates on income and corporate taxes and lowers the GST. “Canadians pay too much tax,” said Jim Flaherty, the fed- eral finance minister and MP for Whitby-Oshawa. Speaking in an interview fol- lowing his presentation of the Fall Economic Report, in which he outlined the broad-based tax cuts, Mr. Flaherty said the cuts are aimed at helping all Canadi- ans. “Our personal taxes are too high, our corporate taxes are too high, our GST’s too high,” he said. The centrepiece of the plan to lower taxes is a sooner-than-ex- pected decrease to the consump- tion tax -- the GST -- which will drop to five per cent in the new year. “The reduction of the GST benefits everyone,” Mr. Flaherty said. “It will be felt every year, by every Canadian.” T h e move towards lower taxation is welcomed by retailers across the country. Diane Brisebois, the president of the Retail Council of Canada (RCC), said any measure that puts money in the pockets of Canadians is good news. “Retailers and their custom- ers will be pleased to know the federal government plans to give some of their hard-earned money back to Canadians,” she said. “For many years, RCC has urged the government to reduce its tax take and we are glad Mr. Flaherty has listened to that ad- vice.” But the finance minister says the cuts are not only intended to give Canadians greater spending power, but also to help stimulate business growth. “We’ve laid out a plan here to have the lowest business taxes in the major industrialized coun- tries of the world, in the G8,” he said. “And we’ll be there in 2012. We’ll have a 15-per-cent corpo- rate tax rate federally.” Mr. Flaherty says the next step will be to encourage provincial governments to follow Alberta’s example and set their corporate tax rates at 10 per cent. “If we can do that, then we’ll have a combined corporate tax rate for Canada of 25 per cent, which is a tremendous oppor- tunity to brand Canada as an investment destination,” he said. Mr. Flaherty hopes the lower rate will have the desired affect of drawing investment into the country’s manufacturing sector with the opening of new plants and bringing in new products into existing plants. Jayson Myers, president of Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters and chair of the Ca- nadian Manufacturing Coalition, agrees the tax cuts are a good way to encourage investment. “The reduction in the federal corporate tax rate is an extreme- ly important step in sustaining Canada’s ability to retain and at- tract business investment. It keeps us in the game as countries around the globe are lowering their tax rates to do the same,” he said. “This reduction is important to the long-term competitiveness of the Canadian economy.” Mr. Myers, however, expressed disappointment Mr. Flaherty did not mention an extension to the government’s current acceler- ated capital cost program that allows manufacturers to write off 100 per cent of investments within two years. It is a program that was introduced by the gov- ernment during the last budget, but was given as a short-term measure meant to last just two years. Mr. Flaherty says the govern- ment is open to a possible exten- sion of the program in the 2008 budget. “We’re going to certainly listen to the industry over the next few months as we do the usual pre- budget consultations,” he said. “The good news I’ve seen re- cently is an increase in Canada by manufacturers in investments in machinery and technology. So that’s quite encouraging. It looks like the tax break is having the desired affect so we’re going to follow up on that and it’s a pos- sibility certainly for the spring budget.” Business applauds Flaherty’s economic report By Izabela Jaroszynski ijaroszynski@durhamregion.com Note: “Entrepreneurial boomers have worked so hard over the years to save for retirement -- the last thing we want them to do is put their nest egg at risk unneces- sarily. That’s why it’s so impor- tant for them to be very realistic about new business opportuni- ties and very thorough in their planning. One of the first things they should do before putting their retirement savings into play is to sit down with a pro- fessional to work through the details of what they want to do and how they plan to do it.” Kris Vikmanis, head of re- tirement market, BMO Financial Group. Retiring no longer means what it used to for some Canadians according to re- search by BMO Financial group. Boomers are increas- ingly turning to entrepre- neurship as a suitable option as they enter the next phase of their lives. However, those interested should take the same diligent approaches as when starting a business at any other life stage. 80 per cent say the top reason they turn to entrepre- neurship is to keep occupied 22 per cent say their big- gest fear when operating a small business is not having enough money or customers 38 per cent say they plan to run their businesses be- tween 6-10 years 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 25 20 15 10 Five-year corporate tax plan 22.12% 19.5 % 19 % 18 % 16.5 % 15 % Tax relief from Tories welcomed “We’ve laid out a plan here to have the lowest business taxes in the major industrialized countries of the world, in the G8.” --Jim Flaherty Jim Flaherty Fall Forecast Chart Source: Government of Ontario, www.fsco.gov.on.ca.

It costs you nothing to do a quick online quote, but can cost you dearly if you don’t. Most drivers, right now, are paying $100’s, even $1,000’s of dollars more than necessary for their car insurance. A number of drivers believe if they’re paying more, they’re getting more. They’re not. All insurance companies sell the exact same insurance policy, word for word. It’s like buying a can of pop at the variety store for $1 or paying $4 for it at a sports event. Same pop, different price. Same insurance policy, different price. Look at this rate comparison published by the government of Ontario. There are $1,000’s of dollars difference between what insurance companies charge for the same policy. Same policy, different prices. The government posts these charts as warnings. They are telling you that if you don’t shop and compare you are in danger of grossly overpaying.
