Judge asks jury for patience after yet more delays By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM - The long-running mur- der trial of Cosmo Jacobson and Sean Hall has once again been bogged down in procedural issues. Tuesday, Superior Court Justice Donald Ferguson apologized to the jury for the delays, which saw them excluded from the courtroom for a total of three days while lawyers for the defendants and Crown argued points of law. The jury was expected to be recalled Tuesday afternoon and for an abbrevi- ated day today before being excused Thursday for the Rosh Hashanah holi- day. “I have no doubt you are very frus- trated with this process,” the judge told the eight men and four women who’ve been hearing evidence since mid-April. “I think those feelings are fully justi- fied.” But the complex nature of the trial, which has two young men accused of the murder in February, 2001, of Ajax resident Roy Jones, means such delays are inevitable, the judge said. Six lawyers — two for each defendant and two representing the Crown — are involved in the trial. The fact that both Mr. Jacobson and Mr. Hall, long-time friends from Pick- ering, have implicated each other as the man who fired the fatal shots has further complicated the trial. Before jurors were excused for a six-week break in July, they expressed frustration with the changing time frame with which they had to cope. The judge attempted to mollify them then, promising to proceed as expedi- Murder trial stalled again Province to work with Pickering on Seaton plan Two sides still differ on agricultural preserve By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING – Their differences re- main, but the provincial government is going to work with the City of Picker- ing to plan development in Seaton. Ministry of Municipal Affairs rep- resentatives and the consulting firm doing the planning for Seaton met re- cently with staff from the City, the Region of Durham, and the public and Catholic school boards to discuss the plans for the provincially owned land. “It was an opportunity for us and our consultants to bring staff from differ- ent departments (with the Region and City) up to speed on our plan,” said Bryan Kozman, director of the North Pickering Land Exchange Team. Mayor Dave Ryan was pleased with the outcome. “The Province has committed to having Pickering participate as a full partner in the planning process with Seaton,” he said. That is something the City has want- ed for a while, especially given all the work invested in its growth manage- ment study for the area. “We’re very pleased about (being a full partner). It is something that, myself and council, we’ve been con- sistent in our assertion that the growth management study is based on sound science, good planning and takes into consideration preserving the environ- ment,” he said. “We feel the report de- A wareness the name of the game for Nov. 8 Wa rd 2 byelection By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING – The City of Pickering wants Ward 2 residents to mark Nov. 8 in their calendar. That’s the day those residents go to the polls to choose a new city council- lor - and they have plenty of choices. Despite the strong race, council and staff are still concerned about the historically low turnout of municipal elections - about 30 per cent - which drops even further when it comes to byelections. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson said he was involved in a byelection in 1987 that saw only 18-per cent voter turnout. “Do you think you’re going to be able to get out as many (voters) as a regular election?” Coun. Johnson in- quired of deputy clerk Anne Green- tree at Monday’s management forum meeting. “I don’t anticipate we’ll have the same turnout as we do in a regularly scheduled municipal election,” Ms. Greentree said. At the special meeting in August when the byelection was announced, council instructed staff to investigate alternative voting options that could help increase voter turnout. “We’ve concluded that investigation and have determined that given the reduced time frame that we have to plan the election and the limited re- sources available we are going to con- tinue using the paper voting method,” Ms. Greentree said. She added staff is Pickering aiming for higher turnout United Way launches 2004 fund-raising campaign Agency seeks help to do a world of good in the community DURHAM – The Ajax-Pickering-Ux- bridge United Way kicks off its 2004 fund-raising campaign this weekend. The fund-raising goal will be an- nounced at the kick-off on Saturday, Sept. 18 in the centre court of the Pick- ering Town Centre from noon to 3 p.m. The theme this year is ‘United Way... Doing a World of Good in Our Com- munity’. The campaign chairman is Pat O’Brien, former public affairs manager at the Pickering nuclear station, while Rolf Ott of Uxbridge is co-chairman. A variety of acts will perform dur- ing the kick-off ceremonies, includ- ing the Ethnocats singers from Ajax High School, the Home Town Cloggers, dancers from the Durham Tamil Asso- ciation and the Hummingbird Dancers from Club Carib. United Way executive director Edna Klazek says, “We’re extremely pleased that so many local talents are coming out to share in our campaign kick off. Since our main focus is community, what a better way to kick off then to acknowledge our homegrown talent.” The organization will have an infor- mation booth at the mall, describing the services and agencies the United Way supports. Also at the booth, there will be United Way temporary tattoos, cake, and face painting by Girls Incor- porated.

Fall Festival features fun for everyone By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING – Residents of the tiny hamlet of Greenwood invite everyone to their big celebration. The Greenwood Fall Festival is Saturday, Sept. 18 at the Green- wood Community Centre from noon until the early evening. The annual event is a fund- raiser for the community’s youth and children’s programs and of- fers something for everyone, says organizer Chantal Bigras. “We have games for kids, ar- cades for youth, we have craft tables and a barbecue all day,” she said. The craft marketplace has qua- drupled this year, with 20 vendors selling unique creations. Other attractions include a clown who does a magic show, temporary tattoos and a reptile show. “It’s a family day of festivities that are for children or adults,” Ms. Bigras said. “It’s for all ages.” The event has grown every year with it usually drawing nearly 1,000 people. “It has doubled since the be- ginning. Every year there are a few hundred more people com- ing,” Ms. Bigras said. Although the event does attract people from other communities, it mostly helps to bring the resi- dents of Greenwood together. “We’re a very close-knit com- munity,” Ms. Bigras said. “We just want to keep the community going and to introduce our chil- dren to one other. It’s to keep that togetherness.” The event is organized by com- munity volunteers. To close out the evening the popular gourmet barbecue re- turns (hamburgers and hotdogs are available the rest of the day). Tickets are $12 and should be purchased in advance as they are first come, first served. For tick- ets, call Nicole Hale at 905-686- 1732 or Annette Ainsbury at 905- 683-9261.

He added Clarington will be re- searching how areas such as Kitch- ener-Waterloo have pulled off the ban and how they dealt with issues such as cross breeds. “If one (municipality) moves for- ward, it would be extremely beneficial if we all moved forward,” said Mayor Mutton. The Attorney General’s comments came after an attack on a Toronto man by two pit bulls. The man had been walking them for a friend when the animals turned on him. Police were forced to shoot the dogs to stop the attack. While pit bulls have a reputation for aggressive behaviour, Ruby Rich- ards, manager of the Humane Society of Durham Region, said she believes banning any breed of dog is wrong. “First of all, how do you define what a pit bull is? It is not recognized by the Canadian Kennel Association as a breed, so do you ban all dogs with a muscular build?” Ms. Richards said nobody at the Humane Society of Durham has ever been bitten by a pit bull, though a few have felt the sharp teeth of Jack Russell Te rriers. She blames the ag- gressive nature of some pit bulls on backyard breeders and owners who are looking for a sta- tus symbol rather than a pet, and said most owners are young men looking for a dog that has a reputation for being vicious. “Half the reason people have this type of dog is to make money,” said Ms. Richards. “They can buy them cheap from friends who are breeding (the dogs) and then they turn around and do the same thing. We had one lady tell us she was picking up a four-week- old pit bull puppy. You can’t do that. They haven’t been properly socialized with other puppies from their own lit- ter. They require time to become social animals.” But it’s that kind of irresponsible approach, she said, that is rampant among many pit bull owners. She said each breed of dog is different and some, such as pit bulls, require more attention than others to create a loving pet. Pit bulls are strong, energetic and rough and because of that are not the best breed to have around small chil- dren. “And this is what happens. You have someone who doesn’t do the research and takes on a dog that requires time they don’t have to offer, and then they wonder why the animal turns on them.” Ms. Richards said she has seen pit bulls from the homes of experienced dog owners, and those dogs are loving pets. Yet on any given morning there could be a dozen pit bulls tethered outside her office for a place in the shelter with only six spaces available. “I don’t think there’s a shelter out there that wouldn’t agree that the gov- ernment should focus on legislation that would force owners to spay or neuter their pets, and to subsidize the operation for certain breeds if they want to keep the numbers of a particu- lar type under control,” she said.

The trial resumed Sept. 7, with Mr. Jacobson taking the stand in his own defence. He held the courtroom spell- bound for two days with his account of the slaying, until a dispute saw the jury excluded. They were to be recalled Tuesday afternoon, when Mr. Hall’s lawyer, Paul Burstein, was to begin cross-examining Mr. Jacobson. going to continue to investigate alternate methods of voting for the 2006 regular election. Staff have also investigated ways to heighten awareness about the byelection. “Experience tells us byelec- tion turnout is less than a regu- lar election and we’re going to do whatever we can to make the public aware,” Mayor Dave Ryan said. The City is going to do a mailing to Ward 2 residents to increase awareness and it is also looking into doing a voice- mail broadcast (an auto dial to residents in Ward 2). Coun. Johnson expressed the importance of the local level of government. “What people don’t under- stand is that municipal elec- tions are one of the most im- portant things of their lives,” he said. “What affects them mu- nicipally is minute by minute. If your lights don’t stay on or if your garbage isn’t picked up and your sidewalks aren’t clear it’s something we’re respon- sible for.” When the time comes, Ward 2 residents can vote on election day or at two advance polls: the first is Saturday, Oct. 30 and the second is Wednesday, Nov. 3, both take place at the Pickering Civic Complex from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. serves full consideration by the Province and after our meeting I’m confident that the report will be.” Mr. Kozman said the Prov- ince’s planning team has taken into consideration the City’s study. “Our consultants from the beginning of their work have studied, viewed and included elements from the City’s growth management study,” he said. Mr. Kozman added the City is more than just another stake- holder in the process. “We want to have a very strong relationship with the City and the Region...We very much want to develop the plan in concert with the City,” he said. Despite the new relationship, an area of disagreement still remains between the City and the Province when it comes to north Pickering. “The question of the ag pre- serve remains unanswered,” Mayor Ryan said. In the City’s growth manage- ment study the southern part of the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve would be developed to accommodate 37,900 residents in the Cherrywood neighbour- hood, while 39,000 are to live in Seaton. The Province’s plan would leave the preserve and develop Seaton for anywhere between 45,000 to 60,000 resi- dents. Mr. Kozman agrees differ- ences remain. “The Province has a different position than the City when it comes to the agricultural pre- serve,” he said. “When it comes to the development of Cherry- wood there is a difference there. That difference aside, there is a lot of commonality that bodes well for a very strong relation- ship between the Province and the City.” Jury must wait for trial delays ✦ Jury from page 1 Preserve issue still unanswered, mayor says ✦ Preserve from page 1 ✦ Pickering from page 1 Pickering ready to ring up voters Durham board would have options By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM – Public school board ratepayers could have a new trustee at the table early in the new year, even though the next municipal election isn’t until 2006. Paul Crawford, a Pickering trustee on the Durham District School Board since 1997, is seeking a vacant spot on Pick- ering council. Election day is Nov. 8, and if Trustee Crawford becomes Coun. Crawford, the board would have to choose between a byelection and an appointment to replace him. Board chairwoman Elizabeth Roy in an interview said “it’s not likely” a byelection would be held, since all costs would be borne by the Durham board, even though the City of Picker- ing would be in charge of the process. A Pickering byelec- tion costs around $80,000. An appointment must occur within 60 days after a trustee vacancy, but that can take place in two ways, she notes. The board could simply select one of the un- successful Pickering trustee candidates from the last elec- tion, in November 2003, as long as the person remains quali- fied. There were nine contend- ers last November, including trustees Crawford and Sherry Croteau. The second appointment route is more complex. The board would advertise the va- cant position, receive applica- tions from those interested in the job and interview them. The process would be open to the public, and trustees would vote for their choice of a new colleague. Trustee Crawford said he hasn’t de- cided if he’s taking a leave of absence from his trustee job when the campaign begins in earnest after nomi- nations close Sept. 24. “I don’t think I’ll need to take a leave because the amount of time we put in it anyway is not much anyway so that I can’t campaign on my off nights,” he said. At the same time, he said if he finds it poses a problem, he would take a leave and refuse his salary pay for the appropri- ate period. He earns $5,000 per year as a trustee. “I’m going to see what happens after the 24th,” Trustee Crawford said. As of yesterday morning, eight candidates had regis- tered.

A member of the Metroland Durham Region Media Group, the site had more than 111,000 unique users in August, accord- ing to Todd Blayone, the busi- ness development manager. “Gains were made across the board,” he says. “We’re pleased with the performance of our marketplace, personals, news and entertainment channels. Indeed, we’re thrilled that our success generates success for uses, community partners and advertisers. Interactive media usage is on the rise.” Mr. Blayone notes breaking the 100,000 barrier is a signifi- cant achievement for a local community resource. Lamont Wilcott, the projects lead, has been in charge of charting growth at the website for the past two years. And, he’s predicting more gains in the future. “Several new initiatives will make 2005 another record-set- ting year. Our latest project, a new local search engine, pro- vides an innovative way to search massive amounts of local information,” Mr. Wilcott notes. Among the services durham- region.com provides to local groups are free listings in 411 with a web-link and map for businesses and organizations, while groups can post events on a calendar.

Homework’s just pure drudgery I can’t believe the amount of stuff my kids carry on their backs as they head off to school. You’d think they were trekking into deepest darkest jungles or something. All that’s missing is a machete and a compass. Each morning, their mother and I have to help them into their backpacks, one of us steadying the kids, the other hefting the huge weight onto their little shoulders. They can barely walk under all that ton- nage. I haven’t looked, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the route to school were strewn with dozens of struggling kids, turned turtle under the weight of those damned packs. In the winter it’s worse. The boys stumble out the door looking like Sherpas at a K2 Basecamp. When did all this start? As a kid, the most I can remem- ber carrying to school was a grudge, or maybe a macaroni or toothpick sculpture. In the wintertime, my hands were al- most always full, of course, but they were full of snowballs. We didn’t need backpacks crammed with binders and textbooks and indoor shoes. That’s something else that makes me crazy: the indoor shoes concept. Now parents, who can barely keep their kids in shoes at the best of times, have to shell out twice the coin for a pair of shoes the kid will wear half as much. What’s next? Indoor pants? When I was in public school, my desk was where I kept all my stuff. It stayed in there. Very occasionally, I might have to bring home a spelling book or something from the library, but it was invariably something I could carry in one hand. A big part of the problem is that kids these days get a lot more homework, something, I think, is ridiculous and un- necessary, too. Homework is for kids who messed up during class. If you’re dopey enough to waste your class time talk- ing and annoying other chil- dren who are working, then you get to finish up at home while you listen to the kids who completed their class- work playing ball and riding their bikes. Where’s the incen- tive to work hard at school if you know you’re just going to get plastered with take-home stuff anyway? “OK kids, it’s three o’clock, time to head home. Now be sure to complete pages seven through nine in your math books and read chapters 13 and 15 in your geography texts tonight.” “Why?” “Ummm...just because.” I don’t get it. You’ll never convince me that adding on homework, simply be- cause the government said so, makes people smarter or better learners. It just makes them tired. And it may end up creating a generation of adults with back problems. I think they end up with homework because they’re wasting precious class time putting on and taking off their indoor shoes. Sunderland resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. T he Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is running a contest to see who the greatest Canadian was or is. One name is sure to surface again and again. That’s because, in the minds of many Canadians, there is one person who stands above the rest. He is, of course, Terry Fox. Sunday is Terry’s day, when Canadians across the country will run to raise money for cancer research in his name, as we have done every year since September of 1981, just a few months after the brave British Columbian died of cancer. Te rry’s story is legend: The young man, who lost his leg to cancer, decided to run across the country, in 1980, to show the dreaded disease could be beaten. Terry dipped his toe in the Atlantic in April, and started his long, lonely trek. By the time he arrived in On- tario in June, the publicity Terry was generating was overwhelming. Tragically, cancer struck Terry hard near Thunder Bay in August and the marathon had to end. The whole country mourned when this very brave young man lost his life the following June, but the dream was far from over. Canadians rallied by the thousands in Terry’s memory and the Te rry Fox Run to beat cancer was born. Soon, the run became a global event, with hundreds of thousands of people marking the third Sunday in September each year to put on their runners, hop on their bikes, or don their inline skates for the Terry Fox Run. Corporations challenged one another to raise the most money to try to beat cancer. Spirits soared with the recognition that Terry’s courage had been taken up by young and old. And it all started because one man wanted to show the world cancer couldn’t stop him from running a marathon a day. This Sunday, take a few hours to honour Terry’s memory. Head to your nearest Terry Fox run site and walk or jog or bike or skate a few kilometres on a late summer morning. If you can raise money from sponsors, so much the better but don’t pass on this event even if you don’t have sponsors. Kick in $5 or $10 or $20 yourself and get moving. Yo u’ll enjoy the spirit of the other Fox runners around you and you’ll be doing your part to keep Terry’s dream alive. Cancer can and will be beaten, but, like Terry did all those years ago, we have to believe and we each have to do something to make it happen. Public school system serves students well To the editor: Re: ‘Investing in their chil- dren’s future,’ three-part series on private schools. To present an alternate view to the proponents of private schools, I suggest that public schools, while not good for everybody, provide a critical function to equalize opportu- nity. Public education, how- ever, is only as strong as the community’s commitment to it. When good students (and their committed families) are withdrawn, the public system becomes weaker. Each family that withdraws makes it more desirable for others to follow and we start a spiral downward. To divert funds to private schools, then, means the public system can’t do the job it is in place to do. We have three children who recently progressed through the public system. I challenge any private school to compete with the friendships, music, art and sport opportunities. It comes down to the assessment of what constitutes education. Is it the amount of homework or the diversity and breadth of experience that matters? Our philosophy for educa- tion has been to provide for a wide range of activities. Instead of worrying about a shortage of homework we promoted extracurricular ac- tivities. Educational books and reading for pleasure; bed time stories happened for years. All three children are now at different universities follow- ing their own diverse inter- ests. We are paying out money now that we may have saved during the years when public education was available. I think we made the right choice, just as other parents believe that private education is the better value. In Canada we are free to make our own independent choices. For this I am truly grateful. Joy Karney Ajax Non-smoking bylaw just what was needed To the editor: As a 19-year-old student, I hated walking into any bar or restaurant to find myself in a thick cloud of smoke. I am very pleased to find that there has only been one business to be fined in all of Durham Re- gion for breaking the current non-smoking bylaw. While I do work in a restaurant and have experienced some back- lash from smokers who are upset with the bylaw, I find that even they tend to under- stand the need for it. I feel more comfortable venturing into bars and res- taurants. I would like to con- gratulate Durham Region for its high rate of compliance. Not only does it gain some re- spect from where I come from but it also let’s me put a little faith back into local politics for passing the bylaw. Everyone should be keep- ing their health in mind when they think of any negativity relating to the bylaw. Candice Pitman Oshawa Muzzle large dogs only To the editor: Pit bulls, like all dogs, retain many instincts of their wild dog heritage; one of these is to attack and bite. Many dogs can be trained as guard dogs and to be vi- cious, including Staffordshire Te rriers, Doberman Pin- schers, Rottweilers and Ger- man shepherds. They can also be trained to be gentle and well mannered. Rather than ban any breed of dog, it might be wise to develop a bylaw that would require that all larger and powerful dogs wear a muzzle. Attacks could then be reduced to a minimum. A muzzle, properly fitted, is not uncomfortable to a dog and the dog would quickly be- come accustomed to wearing it in public. Michael L.

Karin Rubuka’s photographic look at this part of people’s homes is on dis- play in the main branch at the Rotary Room until Wednesday, Sept. 29. The photographs in ‘The Living Room’ se- ries were taken by Rubuka after she put out a call to people in the Kitchener area to ‘volunteer’ their homes to ob- serve and photograph what she sees. “I trekked to each home, not know- ing what I would see beyond each door,” she says in a press release. “It was important to me that I get only an impression of who lived in the rooms.” She explains she didn’t get to know any of the people in the homes and only retained ‘snippets’ of their lives based on what they told her and what they surrounded themselves with. The show is open for viewing during regular library hours, unless the Rotary Room is in use. The main branch, at 55 Harwood Av e.

SPORTS & RECREATION durhamregion.com durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 15, 2004 PAGE B1 A/P Panthers roll over listless Axemen in junior ‘A’ hockey league opener Poor pre-season trans lates into lacklustre debut for Ajax juniors By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — A less-than-stellar pre- season campaign came back to haunt the Ajax Axemen in their junior hockey home opener on Sunday afternoon. A shockingly tight and punchless Axemen squad was no match for the fluid attack of the visiting Pickering Panthers who met little resistance en route to a 6-2 trouncing of the hosts in the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League 2004-05 regular-sea- son debut for both clubs. The Axemen entered their home opener at the Ajax Community Cen- tre, complete with a good crowd and a light show to start the proceedings, on a down note. The team lost its final two pre-season contests, closing with a lowly 2-5 record. The losing carried over into Sunday’s game in which the Axemen showed only glimpses of in- terest. By contrast, the Panthers roared through their nine-game pre-season schedule with a sparkling 6-3 mark and, that too carried forth into Sun- day’s opener. In fact, the Panthers pot- ted their first regular-season goal a mere 1:07 into the first period with rookie centre Greg Riggs scoring his first-ever Junior ‘A’ goal, finishing off a passing play between linemates Phil McIlhone and Cody Smith. Most shocked by the listless play of his charges was Axemen head coach Larry LaBelle who, following the game, wasn’t at a loss to explain his team’s sub-par performance. “It’s very simple –– they were the better team in all aspects of the game. No excuses, no nothing. They were just the better team,” says LaBelle. “Maybe the guys were just too tight. It was a very poor performance. It’s one thing to show a lack of systems play or a lack of skill, but don’t show me lack of effort.” A lack of fortitude by the Ajacians was evident through most of the first period, as the Panthers leapt into a 2- 0 lead, peppering Ajax starting goalie and former Panther Devon Ramasaw- my with numerous shots. The Axemen finally responded with 40 seconds to go when another former Panther, Jus- tin Teakle, scored from Jordan Hin- richsen and Andrew McEvoy. Forty seconds into the second peri- od, Ajax tied the game at 2-2, on Brent Clarke’s first of the season from line- mate Jordan Weinberg and McEvoy. It appeared the slumbering Axemen had finally woken up. But, just more than two minutes later, Pickering scored three straight to take a 5-2 lead into the third and quell any potential Axe- men uprising. Over on the other bench, Pan- thers’ head coach John Winder was pleasantly surprised by the play of his squad, considering he was miss- ing several key players due to inju- ries and suspensions. Team captain Ryan Annesley (thigh), Kyle Roulston (groin), Justin Fox, Aaron Zimner and Mark Cornacchia (suspensions) were all out for Sunday’s opener, forcing some last-minute juggling with Steve Koufis, Chris Paul and Matt Miller, all from the Ajax-Pickering Raiders ‘AAA’ midgets, called into action. “We were definitely firing on all cylinders,” says Winder, entering his second season behind the Panthers’ bench. Mostly, the Panthers relied on the solid work of its corps of talented vet- erans up front -- Andrew Dissanayake, acting captain Derek Lynden, new- comer Jeff Birr, who came over from the Collingwood Blues in an off-sea- son deal, and second-year forwards Richard Schofield and Phil McIlhone. Ly nden was a force in the contest, scoring a pair of goals and adding an assist for a tidy three-point per- formance in the season opener. Dis- sanayake, the team’s leading scorer of a year ago, and McIlhone also contrib- uted strong efforts with a goal and an assist apiece. Birr added two assists. But, the brightest light for the Pan- thers was on the blue-line in the form of newcomer John Soames. He not only formed an effective defensive tandem with veteran Michael Ban- well, but also showed a capable offen- sive side to his game. Soames scored the game winner in the second pe- riod, netting the first of what would be three unanswered Panthers’ markers. Soames also added two assists in the victory. Winder was effusive in his praise of Soames for his solid two-way contri- bution. Soames came over to the Pan- thers in a deal during training camp with the East Conference’s Lindsay Muskies, with Panthers’ Robert Toom- ey going the other way. “He had moved down here from Lindsay to work, so he was living in Pickering,” says Winder. “He’s a fourth- year player and his patience and expe- rience on the blue line is huge for us.” After the fourth Panther goal, Axe- men starter Ramasawmy was lifted in favour of Kyle Nova with just more than five minutes gone in the second period. Meanwhile, the Panthers rode a solid performance from starter Ryan Daniels to victory. Daniels wasn’t test- ed too often in the contest, but was called upon to make 28 saves on 30 shots. The Axemen return to action on Fri- day night when they travel to Toronto to play the St. Michael’s Buzzers at the St. Michael’s Arena at 7 p.m. On Satur- day, the Axemen will face off against the West Conference’s Brampton Capitals during the league’s College We ekend slate of games. Game time is 9:15 a.m. at Mississauga’s Erin Mills Twin Arena. On Sunday, the Ajacians return home to face the Couchiching Te rriers of the North Conference at the Ajax Community Centre at 3 p.m. Meanwhile, the Panthers also play in the College Weekend, suiting up against the Buffalo Lightning of the We st Conference on Saturday at 12:15 p.m. at the Erin Mills Twin Arena. The Pickering juniors play their home opener against the Huntsville-Mus- koka Otters at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex Sunday at 6 p.m. NOTES: The Axemen were a woeful 0-for-6 on the power play; the Panthers were a respectable 2-for-4...While the Panthers’ vets may have stepped to the fore in Sunday’s win over Ajax, Winder was equally impressed with the work of several rookies, including Chris Chappell and especially Riggs, who was a sparkplug on offence. “I’m getting more confident in Greg all the time. I feel confident putting him out in any situation.” GAME SUMMARY Pickering 6 at Ajax 2 1st PERIOD 1. 1:04 Pickering - Greg Riggs (Phil McIl- hone, Cody Smith) 2. 11:30 Pickering - Phil McIlhone (Jeff Birr, Derek Lynden) PP 3. 19:12 Ajax - Justin Teakle (Jordan Hin- richsen, Andrew McEvoy) Penalties: Lucas LaBelle AJX (tripping) 10:44, Andrew Dissanayake PKR (high sticking) 18:49 2nd PERIOD 4. 0:40 Ajax - Brent Clarke (Jordan Weinberg, Andrew McEvoy) 5. 2:45 Pickering - John Soames (Rich- ard Schofield) 6. 5:10 Pickering - Andrew Dissanayake (Danny Sullivan, Kyle Vandebospoort) PP 7. 13:11 Pickering - Derek Lynden (Jeff Birr, John Soames) Penalties: Ryan Clearihue AJX (holding) 4:44, Kyle Cope AJX (roughing) 17:19, Kyle Vandebospoort PKR (interference) 7:15, Danny Sullivan PKR (slashing) 8:55, Cody Smith PKR (roughing) 17:19, Derek Lynden PKR (High Sticking) 18:29 3rd PERIOD 8. 1:08 Pickering - Derek Lynden (John Soames, Andrew Dissanayake) Penalties: Derek Lynden PKR (roughing) 6:27, Kyle Vandebospoort PKR (hooking) 8:23, Mike Carlson AJX (high sticking, roughing) 13:49, Ryan Clearihue AJX (roughing) 13:58 Goaltenders PKR - Ryan Daniels: 10/1, 10/1, 10/0 = 28 saves (30 shots) AJX - Devin Ramasawmy: Not recorded AJX - Kyle Nova: Not recorded Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Ajax Axemen’s Ryan Chung gathers in a loose puck while being hounded by Pickering Panthers call-up defenceman Matt Miller during the Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hock- ey League opener for both clubs at the Ajax Community Centre on Sunday afternoon.

Hockey team strikes fear into heart of Blues AJAX — Be afraid, be very afraid of this hockey team. The Fear Factor team ended the inaugural season of the Ajax 3-on-3 summer hockey as cham- pions. Fear Factor defeated the Blues in two straight games in an exciting best-of-three final play- off series. In Game 1, the teams battled hard for victory but, in the end, the Blues couldn’t match the strength of Fear Factor, losing 11- 9. In Game 2, Fear Factor came out flying to take an early lead and never looked back en route to a 13-7 victory. Darren Smith started the onslaught with the first goal followed by Robbie Af- fleck with another, Other Fear Factor scorers were Andrew Nicholls with a hat trick, Jordan Minos, Scott Derosches and Nakesh Jaggen each with two, Jesse Thistel and James Hinkson with one apiece.

Oshawa signs Pickering resident By Brian McNair Staff Editor OSHAWA — To o often, hockey teams go into the pre-season with a set notion of what the roster will look like on opening day. Justin Allen is pleased that wasn’t the case with the Oshawa Generals. Allen, a 19-year-old from Picker- ing who had been toiling in the tier 2 ranks prior to this season, has worked his way into the OHL through sheer determination this summer. It didn’t hurt, however, that Allen played last season with the Newmar- ket Hurricanes under Brad Selwood, but Oshawa’s new general manager says the opportunity to suit up for the Generals was determined solely by the player. “He worked his way into the line- up,” says Selwood, who signed Allen on Thursday. “He worked very hard this summer, got a personal trainer and did a lot of off-ice training... I told him we were going to give him an op- portunity to come in here and do this and he came in and did it. He earned his spot.” Although never drafted by an OHL team, Allen looked every bit the part of an OHL player Sunday, scoring once and playing a solid all-round game in the Generals’ 6-4 win over the Erie Otters. The win, which came before a crowd of about 1,000 at the Garnet B. Rickard Recre- ation Complex in Bowmanville, upped the Gen- erals’ pre-sea- son record to 2-0-1. “He’s a physical player, but he also showed some good smarts kill- ing penalties and scored a nice goal,” Generals’ coach Bob McGill says in reference to Allen’s effort Sunday. “He’s contributing in a lot of ways and that’s what we need. We need guys that are going to be more than just one-dimensional.” A 6-foot-1, 210-pound right-winger, Allen admires the way Gary Roberts plays the game, and would like to contribute in a similar way for the Generals. Last season with the Hurri- canes, he had 13-11-24 numbers and 59 penalty minutes in 43 games. “Coming into camp, I figured go out and give it 110 per cent and if I don’t make the team, I gave it my all,” Allen says. “I’m pretty happy with how I’ve kept up with the pace. Everyone’s big- ger and faster and can shoot the puck. Everyone can play.” Allen moved to Pickering in Grade 7 and went to high school at St. Mary and Dunbarton. He played his minor hockey in Toronto and started his junior career with the Thornhill Rat- tlers before Selwood brought him to Newmarket. “I just think the world of him,” says Selwood. “He can kill penalties, he can play the power play, He’s a physi- cal kid, a tough kid. It’s the kind of work ethic we need around here. He’s certainly going to be a good addi- tion.” GENERALLY SPEAKING: Justin Do- nati scored twice before being ejected in the second period for slew-footing, while twin brother Tyler Donati had a goal and two assists Sunday. Chris Hulit and Brett Trudell (empty net) also scored for Oshawa and defence- man Chris Petrow had four assists. Ryan Gibb was in goal... Adam Berti and Justin Donati scored in Oshawa’s 2-1 win over Erie in Huntsville Satur- day, with Dan Turple going the dis- tance in net... The Generals will play their final exhibition game Friday against the Kitchener Rangers back in Bowmanville at 7:35 p.m. The mould problem at the Civic Auditorium is expected to be cleared up in time for the Sept. 24 season opener against the Peterborough Petes... Berti (char- ley horse), Brandon McBride (hip), Justin Wallingford (infected knuckle) and Bret Nasby (concussion) were scratches Sunday, but all are ex- pected back soon. Andrew Gibbons and David Halasz return this week from NHL rookie camps...Five OHL teams are included in The Hockey News’ top-10 CHL rankings: London Knights (1), Owen Sound Attack (5), Kitchener Rangers (7), Mississauga IceDogs (8) and Ottawa 67’s (10).

Jordan and his mates faced OJ Muller Landscaping in the title game in the peewee boys’ division. Despite roller coaster season, Spartans win OBA championship AJAX — The Ajax Spartans major mosquito rep baseball team may have surprised other teams at the Ontario Baseball Association championships, but, mainly, the Ajacians surprised themselves. After an up-and-down 2004 dia- mond campaign entering the OBA playdowns, expectations were low for the Spartans at the OBA tour- nament held over the Labour Day long weekend. But, the team’s true character would be tested and it would pass with flying colours. Playing Markham in the final, Ajax received a pitching gem from starter Steven Sattz who pitched six sizzling innings in the final. Cody Ferrier closed out the final inning to give Ajax a 6-3 victory and their second consecutive Ontario title. Manager Andy Knautz praised his players for their perseverance throughout the season that culmi- nated in the provincial crown. “This weekend illustrated the true character of this team. We bounced back from adversity the entire season and saved our finest play for when it mattered the most,” said Knautz. After defeating East York in the opening game, the Spartans faced the Mississauga Twins in Game 2. Stellar pitching by Logan Aber- nathy, Cody Ferrier and Spencer McLeod limited the Twins to two runs over seven innings. After solid hits by Jeff Martin, Steven Deeg and Drew Knautz, Martin would score the winning run in the sixth inning to give the Ajacians a 3-2 victory. In Game 3, Barrie and Ajax went into extra innings with the score tied 4-4. Both teams stranded base runners in the eighth inning. Eric Rizzo led off the ninth inning for Ajax with a base hit up the middle. Hits by Brandon Tieche and Aber- nathy led to the winning run in a 5-4 Ajax victory. Ajax defeated Brampton 7-5 to earn a berth in the title game. Na- than Barr went 2-for-3 scoring two runs. Stellar hitting and defence by Colin MacFarlane helped seal the win. Although not being able to play due to injury, Waseem Patel proved to be the loudest team supporter throughout the Ontario champion- ships.

The Sept. 18 concert is the first in the orchestra’s 48th season and will fea- ture works by Strauss and Ravel, under the baton of conductor and music direc- tor Marco Parisotto. But it’s not Johann Strauss Jr., of ‘Blue Danube’ fame. Rather it’s Richard Strauss and his ‘Zarathustra,’ rec- ognizable from Stanley Kubrick’s movie, ‘2001: A Space Odyssey.’ “The program will be a mixture of the familiar with the exotic,” said ODSO board chairman Sherry Bassin. “You’ll never appre- ciate this music more than when you hear it live with this orchestra.” Also on the program is Ravel’s ‘Daphnis and Chloe’ with guest flautist Michael Mar tin Kofler, an interna- tional soloist and principal flute with the Munich Phil- harmonic. Ravel and Strauss are considered two of the most successful orchestral scien- tists in music history and these two works are con- sidered their most brilliant scores. ‘Zarathustra’ is a musical manifestation of Nietzsche’s superman philosophy. The 7:30 p.m. concert will be held at Calvary Baptist Church, Ritson and Ross- land roads, Oshawa. Individual tickets and season subscriptions are available by calling 905- 576-7365. Tickets prices are: adults, $28, children and students, $12, family passes (2 adults and 4 chil- dren under 18) for $75. Other lease and finance options available.
