The Municipal Affairs Act requires a minimum of 50 ratepayers to sign a peti- tion in order for the minister, Jim Watson, to investigate the financial affairs of a municipality. In this case unsettled residents, with the help of community activist Maurice Brenner, filed the request. The petition asks that the Minister conduct an audit on all salaries, expenses and allowances paid to the mayor and councillors be- tween 2003 and 2008. Mr. Brenner was on Council up until 2006. “The ratepayers of the City of Pickering have become increasingly disturbed by what we believe has become a “culture of entitlement” by the elected officials of the City of Pickering,” the petition said. Specific reasons for requesting the audit include: Mayor and councillors receive expenses for costs in homes, in- cluding additional external clerical sup- port and out-of-country costs (although they have access to full-time assistants at City Hall); members receive a car allow- ance without providing documentation; conference and dinner allowances are generous, where members often stay in lavish hotels; and, expenses in compari- son to similar municipalities are exces- sive. Mr. Brenner said while the petitioners recognize Council members may not use their full budgeted allotment each year, taxpayers are still responsible. “Whether it’s used or not each year tax- payers still pay for what is in the budget,” he said. The ministry’s manager of local gov- ernment, Central region, Tom Gutfreund, confirmed in an interview that the min- istry has received the petition. Similar petitions occur across the province, he said, but are quite rare. “What we do right now is gather the facts and then we report to the minister,” he said, adding whether an audit takes place is up to Mr. Watson. Mr. Gutfreund’s staff met with the peti- tioners and will next meet with the City. He hasn’t actually looked at the expenses himself yet. Mayor Dave Ryan was unaware of the petition until the News Advertiser in- formed his office. He said he understands there is a degree of concern among the public and welcomes the ministry look- ing at Pickering. On a personal level, he’s confident his expenses will check out if an audit takes place since his expenses are quite low each year, “which are fully documented beyond the requirement of SPRINTING IN PICKERING FOR TERRY Photo by Adrien Veczan PICKERING — Joal Meeker, front left, and Jeremy Marinelli took part in the Terry Fox Run held Thursday at Our Lady of the Bay Catholic School.

The protesters held signs that said “Don’t buy Sklar furniture” and handed out neon orange flyers telling the public why they were marching in front of the Sklar factory outlet store on Bayly Street in Ajax. The store is right next to the manufacturing facility. “These last few months have been hell for me,” said worker Chris Pinsent, who has been laid off since June 12. “It’s been a struggle to keep up with my mortgage.” The father of three had been with the company for 30 years when he was let go. The company still owes him a week’s pay, vacation pay and severance, he said. Worse still, his record of employment states that the company has paid him ev- erything they owe him, slowing the process to get employment insurance, Mr. Pinsent said. “We’re not talking about a lot of money here (for the company),” he said. “What’s fair is fair.” The affected workers are part of the United Steelworkers union local 7175. Steelworkers rep Wess Dowcett said there are at least 12 workers waiting for pay like Mr. Pinsent. The company has broken the collective agreement they have with the union that is effective until February 2009, Mr. Dowcett said. A statement from Sklar sent by Gerry Modjeski said “all our current suppliers con- tinue to be paid in full and there is nobody owed money.” But Mr. Modjeski did not directly reply to a question sent by e-mail asking if any em- ployees were still awaiting paycheques. The union alleged in a public release that they were informed on Sept. 4 that the com- pany was bankrupt and 174 workers from the Ajax location would lose their jobs as a result. “Sklar entered bankruptcy protection two years ago under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) and within months it had restructured, with creditors and em- ployees agreeing to accept more conces- sions,” the statement from the Steelworkers said. “In a move that violated the collective agreement, the company discontinued the employees’ benefits package.” An online search of the Office of the Su- perintendant of Bankruptcy Canada has one result for Sklar-Peppler involving a public record from proceeding on Nov. 29, 2006. Gary Lifman of A. Farber and Parners Inc. was the appointed practitioner at the time. Mr. Lifman said the company submitted a proposal that was approved by creditors and the court. The company was never declared bankrupt. There were no records of bank- ruptcy proceedings since 2006. A statement from Sklar said that’s because the company is not bankrupt. Mr. Dowcett said it is the union’s belief that there are still people working inside the Ajax location who are not union employees but are doing the jobs union employees used to perform. A statement on behalf of Sklar, distributed by lawyer Adriana Carnevale, said Sklar is still manufacturing goods and selling prod- ucts throughout North America. “Sklar-Peppler Furniture Corporation has closed its operations in Ajax, Ontario, as a result of the high costs of manufacturing goods in Canada and the changing cur- rency,” the statement said. “Employees and customers have been informed for months that manufacturing could not be maintained in Canada.” The union is in talks with the provincial government to get money to set up an action centre for its members and help ease them back into the job market, Mr. Dowcett said.

By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Regional councillors want federal election candidates to make social issues a priority during this campaign. The health and social services committee will ask council to endorse a motion asking for Employment Insurance (EI) reform and national strategies for childcare and social housing. They want their request to go out to all the local candidates in the federal elec- tion. A report from the Region’s social services department released Wednesday says tax- payers are forking over $2.3 million annually to cover a gap in EI coverage. In Durham, only 26 per cent of unemployed workers are eligible to collect EI payments should they lose their jobs. In other provinces, as much as 74 per cent can collect EI benefits. At that rate, Durham taxpayers would pay $1.5 mil- lion less. The difference is that the hours of work required to receive EI vary based on the regional unemployment rate. In Durham, workers need 665 hours to qualify while in other parts of Canada it’s as little as 420 hours. Part-time and contract workers may not have the necessary hours to collect EI, even though they pay into the system. When they lose their jobs, they turn to social as- sistance, a fifth of which is funded by prop- erty taxpayers. Oshawa Councillor Robert Lutczyk wants to see the eligibility criteria for EI revisited and he wants EI recipients to receive at least the same benefits that On- tario Works recipients get. He described one family’s difficult situation: when their jobs disappeared, so did their benefits and they couldn’t afford a new pair of glasses for their visually impaired daughter. “Right now if you work at Lear or GM or anywhere else, as soon as you go on EI you’ve got a waiting period of six weeks (for payment), your pay is cut and your benefits disappear,” he said. Ajax. Coun. Colleen Jordan pointed out the Region passed a motion asking for EI criteria to be re-examined, but said she thought the issue needed to be highlighted again. “Make it known in Durham Region, par- ticularly with the loss of manufacturing jobs, we’re heading for a crisis,” she said. Brock Mayor Larry O’Connor suggested raising the issue not only with the federal government, but also with all election can- didates.

They were at the Oshawa campus to an- nounce $125,000 to support UOIT’s Dr. Greg Naterer’s work on creating clean, energy- efficient power sources, namely hydrogen. The funding is part of the government’s $5 million to support projects in the clean tech sector. “We believe in you,” said John Wilkinson, Minister of Research and Innovation, to Dr. Naterer and the 260 other researchers re- ceiving support from the Province. “Tackling climate change is the challenge of this generation,” said John Gerretsen, Minister of the Environment. It’s an issue that needs to be dealt with immediately if we want our civilization to survive, he said. “The work you’re doing is absolutely neces- sary,” Mr. Gerretsen said. “It’s time to wean ourselves off fossil fuels if we want to sur- vive.” Dr. Naterer’s work involves turning nucle- ar heat waste into hydrogen. “Hydrogen is a major solution to the prob- lem we all face, which is climate change,” Dr. Naterer said. Although clean to use, hydrogen is dirty to produce, but his approach would allow clean, low-cost production, making it better for the environment and more economical than fossil fuels. “It’s absorbing heat that would otherwise be going into the environment,” he said. Within a couple of years, Dr. Naterer plans to have a lab-scale demonstration to pro- duce five kilograms of hydrogen a day. He’s also advocating to build the world’s first pilot plant to produce 500 kilograms of hy- drogen a day. With high oil prices and the low Ameri- can economy, we need a plan for the times, Mr. Wilkinson said, and added we need to change our dependence on fossil fuels. “It’s expensive and it’s costing us a lot,” Mr. Wilkinson said. Humans are the only species on earth that don’t know how to live sustainably, he said. Mr. Wilkinson encouraged youth to dream big and to turn those dreams and ideas into jobs. Green tech is a big sector for the economy, he added. “Greg is exploring new technology so ad- vanced that even their names sound compli- cated,” Mr. Wilkinson said.

A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 26, 2008 durhamregion.com T he big question with the Big Move, a regional transportation plan for the GTA and Hamilton, is who’s going to pay for it? Metrolinx, which was created by the Prov- ince to address transportation issues in the country’s most populous area, released the draft $50 billion plan on Tuesday. With the Province of Ontario already having com- mitted $11.5 billion to various transporta- tion projects, including a subway extension in Toronto and bus rapid transit along Hwy. 2 in Durham, the funding is there until 2013. That can be stretched through 2018 if the feds pony up the $6 billion the Province is asking for. But beyond that, who will pay for the rest of the 25-year plan is up in the air. After speculation that Metrolinx would ask for toll roads or a congestion tax in Toronto’s busy downtown core, they asked for no such revenue generating tools. Instead, Metrolinx board chairman Rob MacIsaac said the public will get a chance to see the benefits of improved transit before being asked to consider such options. He pointed to the London model where authorities flooded the downtown with transit before imposing a congestion tax. But, what Mr. MacIsaac was really saying is he couldn’t ask the public to pay to drive or forsake their cars until he had a better alternative in place. This way, Metrolinx can get the ball rolling without talk of tolls or taxes miring it in controversy. The pain- ful financial decisions can wait a bit. But, Mr. MacIsaac also said that when it comes to cost, we couldn’t afford not to proceed with the plan and he’s absolutely right. It’s no secret the GTA’s transporta- tion network lags behind other similarly sized urban areas in the world. And we’re increasingly paying the price with conges- tion and longer commute times. This hurts us economically, when it comes to moving goods through the area, it hurts us personally when it comes to spending time with our families and it hurts us in many other ways. And, although the Metrolinx plan only aims to shave five minutes off of the aver- age commute, the length of that same commute will go up drastically if nothing is done. As it stands, there are tremendous inef- ficiencies in our system. The average car on our roads carries 1.2 people. There are many reasons for this, one of which is we’re too rich for public transportation to gain a strong foothold in many areas. This is espe- cially true in Durham where lots of families have two cars and can afford the price of gas. Transit usage is clearly tied to social need and it’s no surprise that poorer areas have more bus riders. Many of us also live too far from where we work and where we shop and it’s increas- ingly clear that bedroom communities are simply not sustainable, either environmen- tally, and in the long run, economically. According to Metrolinx, 17 per cent of all car trips are walkable, meaning they’re less than two kilometres and 40 per cent of trips are bikeable, less than five kilometres. Given all that, it appears the only way to get people out of their cars is to make it a lot more expensive to drive. And, the revenue generated from the people who still choose to do so is exactly what’s needed to cover at least part of the cost to create transit for those who don’t. Reka Szekely’s column appears every fourth Friday. E-mail her at rszekely@durhamregion. com Let’s get transit ball rolling Don’t take federal election for granted W hen fans attend a sporting event, say a hockey game, they have the right to cheer or boo as they see fit. Buying the ticket earned them the right to do so. Elections are similar in that if you don’t vote, you really don’t have a right to com- plain about or applaud the outcome. We’re half-way through the federal elec- tion campaign and voter apathy seems to be alive and well in Ajax and Pickering. A couple of years ago, we were inundated with so many elections at various levels of government in such a short time that we were sick of them. Perhaps we’re suffering from an election hangover, coupled with the fact there’s been a federal election on the horizon seemingly every week that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been at the helm of this minority government. Regardless, the Oct. 14 election is fast approaching and, before you can say tur- key leftovers, it’ll be over. Do yourself, your riding, your com- munity and your country a favour by researching the parties and local candi- dates. Most importantly, get to the voting booth on election day and cast your bal- lot. It’s a right too many of us take for grant- ed, even though Canadian troops over the years have paid with their blood to ensure that those in other countries, and ulti- mately ourselves, could be free, with the right to select their leaders. Research informs a voter, ensuring that he or she casts a ballot for the right rea- sons. It allows a voter to compare party positions on issues like the economy, health care and support for Canada’s towns and cities. And, if a party or parties don’t have a stated position on an issue you feel is important, challenge your local candidates. Let’s face it, most election commercials in this campaign have been U.S.-style attack ads slamming the oppos- ing candidates. They are directed at the uninformed voter. Hopefully, you’re not one of them. And, if you can’t make it out on elec- tion day (the Tuesday following a holiday Monday) because you’re taking the week off to enjoy the fall colours at the cottage, remember election day isn’t your only opportunity to vote. Advance polls mean no line-ups and no rush to vote after work when the polls are busy - take advantage of them if you’ll be away on Oct. 14. The advance polls in our two ridings are on Oct. 3, 4 and 5 from noon to 8 p.m. In the Ajax-Pickering Riding, vote at the Ajax Community Centre, 75 Centennial Rd., Ajax. In Pickering-Scarborough East, vote at Heights City Church, 477 Kingston Rd., Pickering. So, do your part to elect candidates you believe are good for your riding, for Dur- ham, and for the country as a whole. Reka Szekely Parties should make own case, not trash opponents To the editor: For once, I would like to get through a political campaign with the parties telling us what they are going to do for the coun- try, instead of trash-talking the opposition. Tell me why I should vote for you, instead of telling me your opinion of your opposi- tion and their platform. Answer the ques- tions as they pertain to your political party, not the opposition. Stick to the issues and stay away from the American style of politics.

Having funds from such a venture is “very important, because we don’t receive any extra money” for items clients may need, such as clothing, school supplies for children or transporta- tion, said Catherine Carney White, the executive direc- tor of Herizon House. Proceeds from the items sold are donated to Herizon House, Ms. Carney White said. The Hearts of Durham began supporting Herizon House last year after the shelter approached them, said Dana Baltovich, the chairwoman of The Hearts of Durham. The decision was “based on what they do with the funds we raise for them,” she said. “Every year, we do an event for charity. Last year, all the proceeds went to Herizon House.” The store, she said, “is a hand up and not a hand out.” The Jacks and Jokers Ben- efit raised $58,000, she said, adding the next gala is set for April 18, 2009 and pro- ceeds will go to the Durham Children’s Aid Foundation, to provide money for chil- dren in the CAS system. The funds from the gala provided “seed money (for the store) that government money does not provide,” Ms. Baltovich said. “I think it’s great. They really did their homework. They took their time to analyze the po- tential. “They feel it will be self- sufficient in 12 to 18 months. It’s fabulous. They did their planning well,” she said of Herizon House. The store will also give women work experience, Ms. Baltovich said. When women show up at the shelter, “Usually, they only have the clothes on their backs. They’re start- ing over,” Ms. Carney White said. Money from the store will cover expenses not provid- ed by government funding. Last month, the shelter pro- vided funds for a woman and her children to relocate elsewhere, she said. “We’re helping the women get re-established. If you think about it, they’re starting over from nothing,” Ms. Carney White said. Bethesda House in Bow- manville also has a similar store, she said. “We generally have to fundraise about 20 per cent of our budget, $150,000 a year,” Ms. Carney White said. Items in the store will have “very reasonable pric- es. Most items will be be- tween $5 and $10,” she said. There are 26 women and children staying at the shel- ter. “We just received fund- ing for five more beds, but we haven’t implemented it yet.” The shelter generally has between 27 and 32 women and children, she said. The new store will be at 566 Kingston Rd. (just east of Church Street) and will be open Wednesdays to Sat- urdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Donations can be dropped off between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Tuesdays, or by ap- pointment. Items available at the store include women’s, teen’s and children’s clothing, shoes, personal accessories such as purses, wallets, fanny packs and bags, bed and bath towels, sheets, blan- kets, curtains, and table- cloths. Other items include housewares, jewelry, crafts, mugs, pots, pans, candles, pictures/frames, utensils, small garden tools, china cups, vases, dishes, cutlery, glassware, silverware, stem- ware, baskets, ornaments, hand tools, toasters, radios, power tools, irons, blend- ers, mixers, small stereos and CD players.

It’s fabulous. They did their planning well.’ -- DANA BALTOVICH Ajax, Pickering residents among those invited to Saturday event By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com AJAX — It’s time to protest against the provincial government to stop cuts and protect hospitals, says a member of the Ontario Health Co- alition. “We want Premier McGuinty to listen to the citizens of Ontario,” said OHC general manager Stephanie Levesque in an interview. “They want accountability in the health- care system and they want these issues dealt with.” The OHC will lead a protest be- ginning at Metro Hall Square (55 John St.) this Saturday in Toronto at 11 a.m. and march up to Queen’s Park to deliver a message to Premier Dalton McGuinty to draw attention to issues citizens and staff are fac- ing at the province’s hospitals. The urge to hold the rally stems from the recent round of hospital restructur- ing “that is the most serious since the Mike Harris years,” OHC director Natalie Mehra said in an e-mail. Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital, for example, is losing 20 beds from the mental health de- partment to Rouge Valley Cente- nary hospital in Scarborough partly to help relieve debt. The OHC says Ajax-Pickering hospital isn’t alone. “Markham-Stoufville, amalgam- ated with the Uxbridge hospital, has a deficit and we don’t know what that means for hospital services in Uxbridge,” Ms. Mehra said in the e- mail. The OHC is also concerned about the one-per-cent challenge posed by the Central East Local Health Integration Network. The challenge asks hospitals to give one per cent of their budgets to a community health care agency of their choice. “There will be service cuts,” Ms. Levesque said. “What will those cuts mean for the citizens of Ajax and Pickering?” Buses will travel to To- ronto from all over Southern On- tario, including Oshawa. A bus was scheduled to leave from Ajax, but since no one has called to get a spot on the bus, the OHC hasn’t ordered one. If people start to call, a bus will be ordered. There will also be a bus leaving at 9:30 a.m. Saturday from the Oshawa Town Centre, just in front of Zellers. All are welcome and there is no cost. Rallies will also be held in Windsor, Kingston, Sudbury and Thunder Bay. To secure a seat on the bus, call 905-391-9199. To give feedback online, do so at www.premier.gov.on.ca/feedback/ default.asp.

Mr. Webster, the princi- pal and president of The Sernas Group, a Whitby- based real estate develop- ment firm, is the recipient of the 2008 Howard So- kolowski Award, presented at the Mayors’ Charity Golf Classic. The award from the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation has been presented annually since 2001 to an individual, group or company within the business community who has devoted resourc- es, time and leadership to benefit Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. Mr. Webster has been a member of the Mayors’ Classic committee for near- ly 10 years. His job is to so- licit money from individu- als and companies who can donate to the tournament that provides funds for fu- ture and current needs at the hospital. He’s got the foundation on his mind at all times, and even brings up the tournament during regular business calls. “It’s something we work on all year round,” he said, adding he couldn’t even at- tempt to guess how many hours the committee puts into fundraising for the an- nual tournament. The modest volunteer said he’s only one of many people devoting time to helping the hospital, some- thing he enjoys not only because of the core group he’s been working with throughout his time on board, but it’s an oppor- tunity to help the growing needs in health care and hospitals. “I’ve always considered hospitals to be one of the cornerstones of a commu- nity,” he said. “It’s one way you can give back to the community in a tangible way.” Chairman of the RVHS Foundation, John Wiersma, said Mr. Webster’s been a major player in the Mayors’ Classic, both on and off the course. “He brings with him a wealth of enthusiasm, knowledge, creativity, friendship and spirit as a member of this tourna- ment’s committee,” he said at the tournament. Mr. Webster also received a unique work of art called ‘Target’, which was created by Durham artist, Edward Falkenberg. He creates art pieces for the winner each year. Mr. Webster keeps his award in his office. “I can say everyone im- mediately comments on it,” he said.

By Jennifer Stone jstone@durhamregion.com PETERBOROUGH — Stanley Tippett will be back in a Peterborough court- room next Tuesday, after indicating his hearing impairment made appearing by video from jail too difficult. Wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, the 32-year-old Peterborough man showed up on the video screen in the courthouse, from where he is being held in isolation in the Central East Correctional Centre in Lindsay. He faces an array of charges, stem- ming from the abduction and sexual assault of a 12-year-old Peterborough girl who was eventually left behind Courtice Secondary School in August. Mr. Tippett claims he was the victim of an armed carjacking, and had noth- ing to do with the assault on the girl. Duty counsel at the Peterborough courthouse read from a letter from Mr. Tippett’s lawyer, Michael McLachlan, who was not on hand for Tuesday’s court appearance. In the letter, Mr. McLachlan asked for an in-person ap- pearance for Mr. Tippett the day after the Crown provides full disclosure of their case against the man. That is expected to happen later this week or early next week. Mr. McLachlan’s letter also requested a variation in Mr. Tippett’s bail condi- tions, which have already been altered to allow him to communicate with his wife, Natalie, to whom he was initially barred from speaking. It’s not known what variation was requested, but it was denied. Mr. McLachlan could not be reached for comment. On hand in court Wednesday were Mr. Tippett’s wife, three of his children and his mother, as well as the family of the alleged victim. Though all have been previously willing to speak to the media, they were tight-lipped Wednes- day. “I’m sorry; I’m not allowed to talk to you guys,” said the alleged victim’s mother when approached.

Qualifying EcoSchools were presented their certification during a recognition cer- emony at the Durham Catholic District School Board’s Sept. 22 meeting. “I’d like to thank all of the schools that were involved,” said Kathy LeFort, the trustee for Brock, Scugog, and Uxbridge. She also mentioned the lead principals in the projects. At the meeting, Sydney Szagala, a stu- dent at Oshawa’s St. Christopher school, talked about her experience in the EcoS- chool program and how enjoyable it was. As a school community, they planted five trees. “I love the earth but I know it needs work,” Sydney said. Tish Sheppard, the board’s program con- sultant for the arts, presented a slideshow illustrating different EcoSchool initiatives. Pictures showed posters encouraging stu- dents to turn off computers, a ‘Water gives us life’ board, and a boy flexing his muscle with ‘zero waste’ written on one of his biceps. Ms. Sheppard also spoke of the program’s applicability to Roman Catholic faith and how in 1990, Pope John Paul said the ecological crisis was the responsibility of everyone. Most schools focused on energy and waste minimization because those come with the easiest and fastest results, she said. School greening wasn’t one many schools tackled this year. Being an EcoSchool includes establish- ing an eco-team, completing an eco-re- view, developing an action plan for things such as turning off computers, then im- plementing it through school announce- ments, rewards systems, monitoring and evaluating, and creating a binder with all of their achievements to send to Ontario EcoSchools. “Our advice to the schools was take it slow,” Ms. Sheppard said. Many schools may have started and en- joyed the EcoSchool tasks, but didn’t apply for certification this year. Ontario EcoSchools is an environmental education program that provides environ- mental education resources and focuses on energy conservation, waste minimiza- tion, ecological literacy, and school ground greening. The program recognizes the achieve- ments of participating schools through a certification process that awards a gold, silver or bronze level of achievement. CONTINUED SIREN SOUND TESTING In the City of Pickering and the Municipality of Clarington PUBLIC ALERTING SYSTEM Durham Region will continue follow-up testing of the public alerting system, which was installed in the three- kilometre area around the Pickering and Darlington nuclear generating stations. The system will provide a means to warn residents and businesses in the highly unlikely event of a nuclear emergency or other large-scale emergencies. Siren testing will take place throughout the weeks of: Sept. 29 and Oct. 6 during daytime hours. Individual sirens will be sounded throughout the next two weeks. During the week of Oct. 6, individuals will hear a full siren test for a prolonged period of time (up to three minutes). Individuals near the Pickering and Darlington nuclear generating stations are not required to take any action during siren testing. THIS IS ONLY A TEST For further information, please contact the Public Alerting Information Line or visit the Public Alerting Project from the homepage of the Region’s website.

The church hosts its fourth annual Food Bank Drive and Rummage Sale this Saturday. Although the church collects food from parishoners during regular ser- vices, it’s an opportunity to expand the collection to the rest of the com- munity, said the church’s youth lead- er, Ann Ward. “This way we can reach out,” she said. “It’s an important contribution that we can make.” The church will collect food items and money through a rummage sale, with all proceeds going to St. Paul’s- on-the-Hill Food Bank, which caters to residents in Ajax and Pickering. The drive and sale runs from 8 a.m. until noon on Saturday, Sept. 27 at the church, 510 Whitevale Rd. (Whitevale and North roads). Donations can be dropped off at the church at 7 p.m. Friday where volunteers will be collecting and sorting donated goods such as small furniture pieces, children’s clothing and books until around 9 p.m. The church asked donors to avoid dropping off junk. “Whatever is not sold, we do find places to donate to,” Ms. Ward said. If people are interested in donat- ing, but cannot make the drop-off time on Friday night, call Heather at 905-471-7138 to make alternative ar- rangements.THE LATEST IN DURHAM’S COMMUNITIESnewsdurhamregion.comRSS UPDATESRSS UPDATES newsdurhamregion.com An OasisAn Oasis in your own backyard Discount on in stock pond supplies 2525%% MEETING DURHAM AND THE GTA’S LANDSCAPING NEEDS FOR OVER 40 YEARS www.arntstopsoil.com PICKERING 2490 Brock Rd.

The 2006 Cost vs. Value report, published by Remodeling magazine, shows that home owners recoup 80.4 per cent of the average $54,200 they spend on major kitchen projects, and get back 85.2 per cent of the average $17,928 spent on minor projects. You may be thinking to yourself, “That’s all well and good, but I don’t have that kind of money to spend on a kitchen remodel right now.” If that’s the case, don’t count yourself out, just think on a smaller scale. You can make some dramatic changes in the kitchen just by focusing on one of the attention-getting trends highlighted at the annual Kitchen Industry Show and Convention in Las Vegas. A good place to start is by taking a long, hard look at your lighting. If you have an older home that has not yet been updated, chances are you have a single ceiling mount fixture in the center of the room that doesn’t let off much light and if you’re Small but dramatic kitchen changes can really make a difference lucky, another one over the sink. Why not upgrade with options that offer more direct light? These days in home remodels, designers are replacing the old center fixtures with recessed cans and pendants that offer more direct task lighting in the kitchen. They are also installing undercabinet lights to highlight the countertops and toe lighting to accentuate the cabinets. Undercabinet and toe lights are easy to add. All you have to do is tap into the wiring for the outlets that already exist along the wall. In homes with no attic access above the kitchen, however, the cost of installing recessed cans can be a turnoff, but as Norm Brown of Norburn Lighting & Bath Centre in Burnaby, B.C., points out, “You can get around this limitation by instead installing a rail system on the ceiling that allows you to add light fixtures anywhere in the room.” Brown is a certified lighting consultant (CLC) and the consulting director of education for the American Lighting Association (ALA). Among the many options these systems offer, the ability to drop pendants over and island and spotlights onto the counters, art or china, all without cutting holes in the ceiling. They are available in a variety of materials and finishes so there’s something that will match just about any décor. And when it comes to the fixtures, Paige Malouche of Progress Lighting in Green- ville, S.C., says there is a lot of mixing and matching of designs. “These days, we’re seeing people with what you’d consider to be a traditional kitchen putting in modern lighting fixtures. A popular trend is to hang bronze or brightly colored pendants from track and illum-flex systems,” she says. “There are so many fixtures available it has really turned into a fashion show,” adds Monty Gilbertson, CLC of Lighting Design by Wettsteins in La Crosse, Wis. “There’s clean contemporary, decorative ornamental, pretty much any look you can imagine, and if you want to take it a step further and address intensity and mood lighting, this can be done by adding dimmers to the fixtures you install.” For more information on lighting, visit www.americanlightingassoc.com or call (800) BRIGHT IDEAS for your nearest showroom. homeWEET ADVERTISING FEATURE MONTHLY Financing* Enbridge Financial Ser vices *On approved creditEst.

Pickering/Ajax 1895 Clements Rd. Unit #135, Pickering 905-683-4477 Oshawa/Whitby 905-571-2377 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 26, 2008 PAGE 17 A/Pdurhamregion.com (NC)-Home theatres are becoming increasingly popular these days. They allow you to watch movies from the comfort of your own home without the in- conveniences of a public theatre, like screaming kids, uncomfortable seats and sticky floors. Home theatres are also great for entertaining guests and impressive to show off to your neighbours. You don’t need to dedicate an entire room solely to your home theatre, nor a big wallet to create one. Here are some inexpensive ways for you to create a basic theatre in any room of your house, and on a budget. With all the money you’ll save, why not spring for a popcorn machine, too? 1. All-in-One Mounting Solution Avoid expensive custom-made systems and cabinetry, which can put you over budget. Find a ready-to-install TV wall mount that is compatible with your TV; side and centre-channel speaker mounts that attach directly to the wall mount and move with the TV as you adjust the viewing angle; and an on-wall furniture unit for storing audio/video components. Cost: Under $1,600 (for a Sanus VMDD26 mount, VF5023 on-wall unit, XAS1A side speaker mounts, VMCC1 centre channel speaker mount). From www. sanus.com How To: Create a basic home theatre on a budget 2. Do it Yourself You can save a lot of money by installing your own system. The products men- tioned above from manufacturer Sanus Systems are designed for easy installation. You can do it yourself with a few household tools and a little bit of know-how. Cost: $0 3. Quality Sound Equipment Sound is one of the most important parts of a home theatre system. You’ll need three flat-panel speakers to mount on the side and centre channel speaker mounts, two additional speakers to place at the back of the room, and a subwoofer for the ultimate 5.1-channel surround sound experience. Cost: $1,299 (for a Klipsch Quintet SL Home Theatre four-piece speaker system and Sub-12 subwoofer). From www.klipsch.com 4. Big Screen Fun If you haven’t already upgraded your old CRT “tube” TV to a high-definition flat panel, now’s the time. There are many affordable brands to choose from. But don’t sacrifice quality here; you’ll want one with good colour definition. Cost: $1,800 (for a LG 47? 1080p LCD HDTV). From www.bestbuy.ca.

A local UOIT professor thinks he has the answer to that problem. Professor Ed Waller has designed a mask that just needs to be held up to the face of someone who may have been exposed and a red light will let medics know right away who needs to be treated, Dr. Waller said. He decided on a mask concept for first responders because it is easy to use and can be used to diagnose many people quickly. This keeps healthy people from cre- ating a backlog of patients who need to be seen immediately, he said. “It’s simple enough to use,” Dr. Waller said. There are many devices out on the market that test radiation, but this one is unique because it is geared towards easy use in a busy situation, Dr. Waller said. The mask is still being tested but Dr. Waller said it will hopefully be avail- able for first responders unit soon. It is on its way to a testing facility in Europe early next year, he said. For now, there is much interest in buying the mask even though the pro- totype still needs to be tested more extensively, Dr. Waller said.

That’s a secret, however, since his “very strict and domineering” parents thought they had bank-rolled several years of medical school so their son could become a doc- tor. So, after not seeing Rob for some time, the folks announce abruptly they’re dropping by today. “Panic ensues,” Calvert said. Rob and his best friend and actor roommate, Jimmy Carmi- chael, seek to create “a big cha- rade” to convince his folks that Rob’s a doctor. Their apartment becomes a doctor’s office, Rob’s secretary becomes the nurse, and Rob plans on using Jimmy’s actor friends to play patients. But, the friends are unavailable and Jimmy ends up taking on all the roles himself. “He comes in in all these dif- ferent characters, very funny characters, and pretends to be the patients,” Calvert said. He said Oshawa actor Geof- frey Coulter, who plays Jimmy, is “brilliant” and at his comedic best in taking on a variety of roles as the patients. Rob is played by Ali Adatia. Calvert’s involvement in the- atre extends a quarter century or so, taking the stage in places like Oshawa, Whitby, Pickering and Toronto. He’s mostly been a performer but, in recent years, Calvert has also turned his sights on directing. A night earlier, he was in Oshawa, auditioning as Dracula at the Oshawa Little Theatre. Herongate is at 2885 Altona Rd. (between Taunton and Whitevale roads in northwest Pickering). For tickets and more informa- tion, call 905-472-3085 or visit www.herongate.com. Herongate is offering a Thanks- giving menu on Oct. 9, 10 and 11, featuring a large salad bar, creamy pumpkin soup, maple- glazed turkey with stuffing and more. Photos by Adrien Veczan Above, Laurie Hay and Ali Adatia rehearse ‘Playing Doctor’, which is at the Herongate Barn Theatre until Nov. 1. Meanwhile, in a zanier moment of the farce, Geoffrey Coulter, left, and Ray Porrill take a hands-on approach to a scene they’re rehearsing.

Reserve your verifier package for Saturday Sept 27th, 2008 A fond farewell to Durham music scene icon Glen Bensley By William McGuirk wmacg@yahoo.com ’08 has been one wicked kick in the teeth to our music scene . . . we have lost many venues and, with the sudden death of Glen Bensley, it feels now like we have lost our soul. Glen was my co-worker. We toiled together in the basement of the Tower Of Song. We worked in the corners of the rooms in the buildings of sound. We met at work. We respected each other’s work. Through his work I got to know the man. Glen took his blues into every used and abused joint in Oshawa. He played before people most of you only hear about in songs. He played blues to people who lived it. He brought music into the lives of people who needed it. He had grace and kindness and back- bone. The last time I saw Glen, we hugged. We had spent the previ- ous four days together creating the SHWA-LTZ. I had asked him for his and Heather Luckhart’s Open Mic night, which they hosted at the Atria on Thursdays. For the Neil Young Tribute. He said sure. I asked him if he would do sound at Isabella’s for Forest City Lovers on the Friday. He said he was doing sound for the Recroom at the Atria but we could borrow his gear. I asked him if he would do sound for Sean MacLean at Isabellas on the night of the SHWA-LTZ. He said he was doing sound for Ana- gram at the Atria but he would set up his gear. He played the SHWA-LTZ with Heather and then left to do sound- check for Isabella’s and the Atria. I asked him if he would help the DJs upstairs. He said yes. I ask a lot, I know. He said yes a lot. And he thanked a lot. I thanked him after the Anagram show and he said “No . . . thank you.” So we hugged because we both knew what we had made together. Glen and I also met on a differ- ent level. We were both older than most others in the D-Rock, way older, but we were also both from elsewhere. We understood each other as outsiders who had both found a home here. The musicians who passed through his open mic nights were his house. He worked hard to maintain it. The musicians who passed through his open mic were more than his house. They were also his home and Glensley was the hearth of our home here in the Shwarock City. It’s going to be a lot colder and lonelier now in that tower of song. It’s going to ring a little hollow.

Of the six games played in the senior divisions, five of them ended in shutouts, including a 14-0 win for the defending champion Wilson Gators of Whitby over Pickering’s St. Mary Monarchs in a Friday night game played under the lights at Civic Stadium in Oshawa. Rashad La Touche scored all 14 points for the Gators, who won their 12th consecutive Lake Ontario Sec- ondary School Athletics (LOSSA) regular-season game. The versatile star had a touchdown, two field goals, a convert and a single point. The Monarchs’ offensive woes con- tinued as they have now been shut out in six of their last eight games, all losses. During this streak, they have managed to tally only 20 points. Following are brief recaps of other games. Senior Tier 1 Pine Ridge 13 at Uxbridge 21: The Uxbridge Tigers earned a measure of revenge for the defeat that they suffered at the hands of the Pumas in last year’s ‘B’ final. Prior to the game, the Pumas had been consid- ered to be a major threat to capture their first LOSSA senior football title. Talented wide receiver Ryan Scar- borough led the Tiger attack with two touchdowns. Sinclair 0 at Dunbarton 21: Dun- barton coach Gil Calmeria’s debut as the senior Spartans’ head coach was a winning one as they downed the Sinclair Celtics 21-0. The Celtics, who had looked impressive at the recent Pine Ridge Jamboree, were unable to solve the Spartan defence led by Eric Johnson. Pickering 29 at Holy Trinity 0: Daniel Heslop led the Trojan on- slaught with three touchdowns as the 13-time LOSSA champions launched their 2008 season with a convincing victory. Delino Smith opened the scoring for the Trojans with an electrifying punt return pro- viding the game’s first touchdown. Heslop would then take over as he tallied the final three majors of the game. With an apparent abundance of speed, the Trojans have to be con- sidered serious contenders for the league championship. Notre Dame 25 at Paul Dwyer 0: For the first time in school his- tory, Notre Dame defeated the Paul Dwyer Saints. The win was espe- cially sweet for the Cougars as the Saints eliminated them from the playoffs during the 2007 semifinals. Offensively, Steve Junett contributed two touchdowns. The Saints, which have not lost more than one regular- season game since 2002, must now win their five remaining games to maintain that streak. Port Perry 0 at Eastdale 27: The Eastdale Eagles rebounded from a defeat to Notre Dame (Welland) in exhibition play as they blanked the Port Perry Rebels 27-0. Evan David led the Eagle offence with two touchdowns, while Clarke Thornhill scored one major. James Needham, who has returned to handle the place kicking for the Eagles, posted three converts as well as a touch- down for a nice nine point effort. Senior Tier 2 Brock 52 at Courtice 0: The Bull- dogs opened the season with a con- vincing victory over the Courtice Cougars. Leading the touchdown parade was Jesse Sale with three majors. Jacob Monks contributed with two touchdowns while highly regarded kicker Clayton Jung was able to score four singles on kick- offs. Junior Tier 2 Pine Ridge 16 at Uxbridge 0: Harry Williams scored both touchdowns as Pumas open season with a shut- out victory. Sinclair 28 at Dunbarton 0: Junior Celtics avenge Senior loss to Dun- barton with a convincing victory over the Junior Spartans. Pickering 13 at Holy Trinity 0: Tay- lor Eskins accounts for all the scor- ing, including the only major of the game with three seconds remain- ing. Notre Dame 12 at Paul Dwyer 36: Saints score Week 1 junior-high 36 points over the Cougars. Port Perry 7 at Eastdale 13: Ju- nior Eagles commence the double- header sweep over the Rebels from Port Perry with a narrow six point victory. St. Mary 28 at Donald A. Wil- son 20: Monarchs, led by Kemp- ton Clarke with three touchdowns, begin defence of their 2007 title with eight-point victory over the Gators. Adrien Veczan photo Pickering High School Trojans’ Daniel Heslop runs to a first down against the Holy Trinity Titans in their Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) Tier I senior boys’ football game at Holy Trinity High School recently. The Trojans won 29-0, with Heslop scoring three touchdowns in the season-opening romp. Brockville bonspiel marks start of curling calendar By Jim Easson Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — Pickering’s Richard Hart took over for sidelined skip Glenn Howard to lead the team to a repeat win at the AMJ Campbell Shorty Jen- kins Classic 2008 Bonspiel in Brock- ville recently. The Shorty Jenkins ‘spiel, host- ed at the Brockville Country Club, opened the competitive men’s curling calendar for the 2008-09 season. The defending champion Howard rink was without skip Howard, who was sidelined with a hernia. Vice on the Ontario men’s champion team, Hart took the helm and a previous junior champion, Andy Ormsby, was recruited to lead. Brent Laing moved to vice and Craig Savill played second. The foursome was up to the chal- lenge, as they defeated Kerry Burtnyk in an extra end of the final game. The team collected $9,000 for the championship, as well as extra funds for each game won. Next on the calendar for the team is the BDO Curl- ing Classic in Oakville from Oct. 10 to 13. Howard hopes to recover from surgery and be fit in time for the Masters of Curling in Waterloo from Nov. 12 to 16. ••• The curling season at Annandale starts the day after Thanksgiving. New this year is an incentive to keep graduates from the junior ranks curl- ing at the club. In previous years, those older than 21 were faced with paying the full membership rate. Now, junior rates are charged up to age 26. Curling clinics at Annandale are coming up on Oct. 15 and 25 for adult members only. The junior and bantam leagues include instruction, etiquette and co-ordination in their program. ••• Calgary is the site of the 2009 Tim Hortons Brier. The 80th edition of the Canadian men’s curling cham- pionship is from March 7 to 15 at the Pengrowth Saddledome. It marks the sixth time the city has hosted the event. The 2009 Brier will also be the first time that TSN will of- ficially provide exclusive coverage of the championship. Previously, TSN covered the round robin and CBC televised the semifinal and final. Richard Hart Hart subs for Howard, repeats as Shorty Jenkins Classic champs Notre Dame senior girls extend win streak to three in LOSSA league play AJAX — The Notre Dame Cath- olic Secondary School Cougars continue to show the way in Dur- ham Region hoops this season. The Cougars senior girls strung together their third consecutive Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) ‘AAAA’ victo- ry, winning 53-45 over Ajax rival Pickering High School Trojans on Wednesday. The contest was played before a packed house at the new PHS gymnasium. Notre Dame shared the scoring load with three players scoring in double figures. Shanica Baker and Lindsay Panchan led the way with 15 points apiece. Forward Nicholle McKenzie had 11, while Brianna Thomas added six. Adriana Allen had 25 for the Trojans, followed by Teanna Rowe with 11. The Cougars also earned a solid 55-45 vic- tory over the Dunbarton High School Spartans of Pickering at Notre Dame on Monday afternoon. McKenzie paced the Cougars with 17 points; Wumi Agunbiade had a game-high 23 for the Spartans. The Cougars played at the an- nual Purple and White tourna- ment at the University of Western Ontario in London last weekend. Notre Dame won its opening two games, arriving in the South Re- gion final against a strong St. Anne team from Tecumseh, last year’s ‘AAAA’ OFSAA champs. In the end, the Cougars lost by a point to the defending champs. Notre Dame coach Rose Booker says the close result augers well for the Cougars, who’ve improved since losing to St. Anne at last year’s OFSAA championships. “Last year they beat us because they were the better team. This year we look like the better team. They just shot better from the free throw line,” she said. Notre Dame is currently 3-0 in LOSSA league play, and 9-1 over- all. The Cougars return to action on Monday when they host the All Saint Catholic Secondary School Titans of Whitby. Notre Dame will also host its annual Notre Dame/News Adver- tiser Classic senior girls’ basketball tournament at the school on Oct. 3 and 4. Twelve teams, including Ottawa’s Merivale High School, will compete. Eight Durham Re- gion teams are also part of the tournament draw.

A book of condolence may be signed at www.mceachnie-funeral.ca Midget boys capture Ontario select crown after narrow win over Straffordville in final PICKERING — It took a lot of clawing and scratch- ing, but the Pickering Prowlers midget boys’ softball team captured the Ontario Amateur Softball Association Midgets Boys’ Select Championship in Georgian Bay recently. Pickering emerged with a solid 3-2 victory in the final over Straffordville, a team which had beaten Pickering earlier in the season. The Prowlers fell behind 1-0 in the second inning. In the bottom of the third inning, Pickering used its defensive prow- ess to cut down runners at third base and at home place on strong throws from Patrick Sciuto in left field and Ryan Roffey in right field. The defensive plays turned the tide and pro- vided the inspiration for the Prowlers to rally to take a 2–1 lead in the top of the fourth, as Nathan Conway and Kevin Roffey both drove in runs. Brodi Robinson picked up a hit in the sixth inning to keep a rally going but the team was held off the scoresheet by a good defensive play by Straffordville. Pickering pushed across an insurance run in the top of the seventh inning that ended up being the margin of victory as Straffordville came out strong and put runners on second and third base with none out in the bottom of the inning. Pickering shut the door as David Harrington, who an- chored first base all day, caught a hot shot down the line and then Patrick Don- nelly ran down the first base foul line to catch the final out. Kevin Roffey was the workhorse pitcher for Pickering, throwing all but parts of two innings in the four games. In the cham- pionship game he drove in two runs, pitched all seven innings, stranded seven runners on base and took home the game’s most valuable player honours. All this was done while playing the day with a bro- ken toe suffered a few days prior to the tournament. In the skills competition held at lunch time, Rof- fey won the pitching speed component, consistently throwing at 67 mph. The Prowlers started the provincial tournament with a 9–9 tie with Mal- vern in a game featuring a solo home run by Rof- fey that started the rally in the fourth inning giving Pickering a 9– 6 lead at the time. In the second game of the day, the Prowlers emerged victorious over host Geor- gian Bay 4–3. Joey Sciuto led the way with a triple and a double, driving in a run and scoring the win- ning run on a solid dou- ble by Ryan Branscombe. Chris Chapman drove in a run with a clutch hit and came around to score, too. Pickering faced Malvern in its third game of the day to see which team would go to the championship final. The Prowlers jumped out to an early 3–1 lead in the first inning powered by five consecutive hits. Jamie Northern sandwiched a triple between singles by Greg Cammisuli, Patrick Sciuto, Kevin Roffey and Ryan Roffey. In the third inning, Conway’s double drove in two runs to ex- tend the Prowlers’ lead to 5-1. The leader was never relinquished as Pickering held on for a 6–4 victory. All through the day dif- ferent individuals stepped up with key hits, aggressive base running and great de- fensive plays to contribute towards the teams march to the championship. Na- than Conway led the of- fensive attack batting .700 on the day. Ken Harrington, Moe Conway, John Donnelly and Dave Northern coach the team.
