The recent broad daylight shooting on a TTC bus and the attendant refusal of most of the more than 40 eyewitnesses to come forward, is making my blood boil. I am so sick of the tail wagging the dog in our society that I want to go “Pompeii” on somebody. This is like one of those bad old Western movies, where the townsfolk cower as Bad Bart and his band of cut-throats freely loot the town. Everyone knows who the bad guys are but they’re afraid to do any- thing about it. The only differ- ence is that we’re not about to have Alan Ladd or John Wayne ride into our town to solve the problem for us. We’ve got to do it ourselves. Has it not occurred to any- one yet that we outnumber these idiots with the guns and the knives by about a million to one? Maybe we need to take a page out of those old west- erns after all, maybe it’s time for some good ol’ fashioned frontier justice. What do you think would be the general effect, if, for instance, instead of cowering and hiding their heads in the sand, those people on the bus grabbed those jerks and beat the living snot out of them? What if the TTC driver, along with some righteously angry riders, took the law into their own hands and gave them a good pounding. In other words what do you think would happen to all of these thugs if they real- ized that if they so much as twitched a trigger finger the rest of us would be more than happy to lynch the cocky right out of them? I don’t think we’d have too much trouble any- more. Of course, we might need the cops to turn a blind eye or two, and we’d have to be given the same right to boil in tar any two-faced, spineless law- yers who start throwing the Charter of Rights around. But I think this could work. People, at some point that pendulum needs to swing this way again. We need to take the night back. Those of us who play by the rules have enor- mous strength that we don’t even know about. But it takes courage and conviction. And the first step, folks, is to come forward and name names. Yo u want to live in a safe community, a safe world? You want your kids to be able to walk down the street and play in the park unmolested? Then suck it up and stand for some- thing. We are on the thin edge of the wedge here. I am angry, very angry, and there are hun- dreds of thousands more like me out there who have had it with this lunacy. I am as lib- eral-minded and as educated as they come, but there comes a time, and it is coming fast, when you put the books and the olive branches down and you roll your sleeves up for an ass-kicking. Neil Crone, actor-comic- writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Property rights not enshrined in legislation To the editor: Re: ‘Ajax owner looks for sense in greenbelt,’ Nov. 28 Property rights are not enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Free- doms. The current govern- ment believes that the ma- jority of Canadians are happy with this. Those who oppose govern- ment actions to expropriate lands for airports or to freeze land sale for greenbelts, etc., are whistling in the wind if they expect this to change soon. They might as well suck it up and accept the “democ- racy” the Liberals have fash- ioned for us. John Cousins Oshawa Time to consider proportional representation To the editor: Re: Let’s get proportional with voting system, editorial of Nov. 28. It is time to re-evaluate our present system, where many voters either do not vote or vote strategically. Yo ur assertion that propor- tional representation (PR) will make all votes count is well taken. You have also cited the example of B.C.’s citizens’ assembly. Although a similar assembly in Ontar- io could make very different recommendations from the B.C. group, due to the vari- ety of PR systems that exist, we must consider them and allow our citizens to choose whether or not they wish a change from our present sys- tem. I would take issue with your suggestion that PR sys- tems result in more elections since this is not necessar- ily true, but that is a minor point. It is time for our de- mocracy to move forward and this is a great first step. Wendy Harding Whitby Work needed to address health-care shortages To the editor: Health professionals from across Canada recently gath- ered in Ottawa to share infor- mation and discuss the key opportunities and challenges facing health professionals. It became very clear that little is being done to address the shortages in Canada. The government realizes the doc- tor and nurse shortage but does not put the same im- portance on the rest of the health-care positions. MRI technologists, CT technologists, ultrasound technologists, radiology technologists, laboratory technologists, pharmacists, speech pathologists and more are all in high demand. There are few students en- tering the training programs because of the lack of full- time positions and the poor working conditions. The latest cuts to health- care professionals in this province indicate the provin- cial government does not see us playing a vital role to your health. Dalton McGuinty should not be balancing the budget on the backs of the health- care workers! We need more workers to deliver the health care that the citizens of Ontario de- serve, not fewer.

ONTARIO PRESS COUNCIL Younger generation needs to see advantages to careers in the field T he industry calls itself Canada’s best-kept secret, but there’s nothing secretive about the giant role the manufacturing sector plays in the lives of Canadians. After all, a trip through south Oshawa and past the vast General Motors of Canada properties is all it takes to remind us of what moto-vates our regional economy. However, it’s not just Oshawa and Durham Region that put many of their economic eggs into the manufacturing sector. The industry makes up our country’s largest business sector, directly accounting for 18 per cent of our Gross Domestic Product. Further, every $1 of manufacturing output generates another $3.05 in total economic activity, making it the largest economic multi- plier. The industry also accounts for two-thirds of our country’s goods and services exports, totalling $400 billion in 2003. But a number of pressures, not the least of which is a surging Canadian dollar, are beginning to take their toll on the industry. There is also increasing Chinese competition to contend with, bor- der issues, a shortage of skilled workers and even the combating of the industry’s image. The sector is facing a serious challenge. These issues are the prime reasons behind the Canadian Manu- facturers and Exporters’ ‘20/20 Building our Vision for the Future’ campaign that will serve as a roadmap for not only the coming months, but for the long road ahead. The CME is travelling to com- munities across Canada, speaking directly to the people the issues impact most — local manufacturers and other key stakeholders from the business community. Here in Durham, the CME worked with Durham Region eco- nomic department officials to attract a crowd of about 40 to the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. The group repre- sented a cross section of business owners from all of Durham’s communities. At the end of the meetings is a date in February with Prime Minister Paul Martin, along with premiers from across the country. The message will be that there needs to be a long-term vi- sion for manufacturing in Canada, thereby sustaining the standard of living currently enjoyed by Canadians. That message requires buy in and awareness of challenges from all levels of government (identified repeatedly as a problem in the past) and a better understanding from the public of the role manu- facturing plays in our lives. It requires stronger partnerships be- tween local educational institutions and the companies that make up our community. It requires another look from our younger gen- eration at the advantages of pursuing a career where the workforce is aging rapidly. The manufacturing industry is at a crossroads and its message must be heard.

City Council will be considering these recommendations of Executive Committee at its meeting of December 13, 2004, at 7:30 pm,or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard,in the Council Chambers of the Pickering Civic Complex, One The Esplanade, Pickering, Ontario. Any person wishing to address City Council with respect to this item must contact the City Clerk’s Office at 905.420.4660 or by email at btaylor@city.pickering.on.ca on or before Friday December 10, 2004. If you have a basement apartment, you need to register your house with the City of Pickering Fire Services Division.Registration applications are available at Fire Services, 2nd floor, Pickering Civic Complex, One The Esplanade. They can also be downloaded from the City’s website at cityofpickering.com. Why Register?It is now the law. City of Pickering By- law 6399/04 now requires all existing two-unit houses to be registered. If a two-unit house is not registered, it is illegal and an offense under the by-law. • Registration provides for an inspection to confirm that the accessory apartment is safe for a tenant to occupy. • It provides a building owner with a registration certificate, officially recognizing the property as a legal two-unit house. This will assist in future real estate transactions. • Knowledge of where two-unit houses exist will assist the City in providing emergency response and community services. A registration fee of $250.00 is in effect from December 1, 2004 – March 31, 2005. After April 1, 2005 the registration fee will be $500.00.

April McCormick stood tall in the net with defensive colleague Kaitlyn Swindells putting forth one of her best efforts of the season. Offensively, Heather Dietrich scored two goals and added an assist, while Nata- sha Saliba notched a goal and two assists. Sarah Salvatore and Lauren Lewthwaite each contributed a goal and an assist, with Jessica Shimko scoring a single marker. Sarah Sidaway chipped in with two assists and Emma Esphino added one. The Ajax tweens gun for gold at the annual Pickering Ringette Tournament at the Don Beer Arena and the Pickering Rec- reation Complex this weekend. Erin Rynberk Comeback trail leads to national soccer title for Ajacian Chapman helps Notre Dame Irish to shootout victory over UCLA AJAX — Candace Chapman was confident the University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish had enough talent to se- cure a national title on the soccer pitch this season. How right the Ajax woman was. But, it didn’t come easy. In fact, the women’s soccer crown came by the slimmest of margins imaginable. After playing rival UCLA Bruins to a 1-1 draw at the end of regulation time, the Irish needed penalty kicks to finally capture the NCAA Division 1 women’s title in the championship game at SAS Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina on Sunday. The game was decided 4-3 in penalty kicks. The 2004 title represented Notre Dame’s first since 1995 and the first time a championship game has been decided on penalty kicks. Although Chapman, a senior forward with the Irish, didn’t score in the final, she did keep a ball headed for the back of the net on the right side of the goal line. “I think it just went over my head and it was a battle between (UCLA’s) Christie Shaner and I’m not sure who else. The other girl got a head on it and I guess I was just in the right spot at the right time. I’m always supposed to stick on that corner, so thank God I did,” Chapman told the Notre Dame sports website following the championship victory. Chapman says she and her Notre Dame teammates — including fellow Canadians Katie Thorlakson, of Lang- ley, B.C., and Melissa Tancredi, of An- caster — were determined not to let a Notre Dame own goal be the decid- ing factor. A penalty shot converted by Thorlackson, in the 84th minute, gave the team new life and renewed hope. “After the own-goal, I was thinking that it couldn’t end like this because we’ve had such a great season. When the penalty-shot came, I was just pray- ing. And Katie hit it, so from then on I knew it was going to be our game no matter what happened in overtime or penalty kicks.” The 21-year-old Chapman helped propel the Irish into the champion- ship game after scoring the lone goal in Notre Dame’s 1-0 semifinal win over the Santa Clara University Broncos on Friday afternoon. The championship capped a come- back season for Chapman, who started back with the Irish last June after sur- gery on her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) kept her out of last year’s World Cup and the Notre Dame lineup. Chapman returned in a big way, scor- ing 30 points (ranked third) off 11 goals (ranked fifth) and eight assists in Big East conference play. She accomplished these numbers despite reduced playing time, owing to her knee injury. Chapman says she fully expects to be “back in the mix” with the national women’s team in 2005. She has one more year of eligibility at Notre Dame, the revered South Bend, Indiana in- stitution, where she carries a double major in sociology and computer sys- tems and applications.

Axemen’s first win costly Criminal charges filed after junior ‘A’ game marred by fracas By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — The Ajax Axemen finally earned its first win of the junior ‘A’ hockey season, but it came at a heavy price. The cost for Sunday’s 2-1 victory over the Thornhill Thunderbirds was a se- vere injury to Axemen forward Lucas LaBelle, the son of Axemen owner and head coach Larry LaBelle, during Sun- day afternoon’s OHA Ontario Provin- cial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League contest at the Ajax Community Centre. According to LaBelle, Lucas was lev- elled with a cross-check from behind by Thornhill for- ward and former Axemen player Steve Tamaridis during Sunday’s regular-season contest. LaBelle lay on the ice unconscious for more than five minutes and later complained of numbness in his feet and hands. He was put on a stretcher and transported by ambulance to the Ajax site of the Rouge Valley Health System. Lucas was released from hospital on Monday morning suffering from a con- cussion and severe whiplash. LaBelle says his son’s neck muscles saved him from possible paralysis following the hit. He’ll be lost to the Axemen in- definitely and there’s some doubt as to whether he’ll play again. “There are lots of things to think about: Is Lucas able to play hockey again? I don’t know,” says LaBelle. For now, LaBelle says he’s content to leave the inci- dent in the hands of the Ontario Hockey Associa- tion, the govern- ing body of the league. Tamari- dis was hit with a match penalty, meaning he was ejected from Sunday’s game and will serve an immediate four-game suspension. “Hopefully, he should be gone for the rest of the season. That kid could have been paralyzed for life. We’ll see how the OHA handles it and go from there. We’re looking for some serious sanc- tions to come out of this,” says LaBelle, adding the league’s director of officiat- ing was in attendance, which could speed up the suspension process. OHA president Brent Ladds says he’ll have to wait on a full report from the game officials, which could take upwards of two weeks, before render- ing any further suspensions. He does, however, regard the matter as a serious one. “We’ll evaluate the condition of the player injured and when he’ll return before making a final assessment on suspensions,” he says. LaBelle says the hit on his son was the most vicious he’d seen in 20 years of coaching at the junior level. “Everybody knows I defend the rough stuff; it’s part of the game, but this was way beyond that. I’ve never seen any- thing like it in my life,” says LaBelle. “It’s totally disgusting; it’s just stupid.” As for allegations against his wife Jennifer LaBelle of pouring coffee on Ta maridis following his ejection from the game, LaBelle would only say, “It’s not true.” Jennifer LaBelle and daugh- ter Belinda LaBelle both face various charges in connection with the inci- dent. Thornhill Thunderbirds president Mark Healy says the team is content to let the league and the police investigate the incident. As for the game itself, the Axemen win was the first in 29 games played this season. The team had previously recorded two overtime losses and one tie and resides in the basement of the league’s South Conference. For LaBelle, the win was a testament to his team’s no-quit attitude. “It takes a lot to keep that team’s in- terest when you lose 24 games in a row. To their credit, these boys have come to every practice, every game, no one has complained and no one has asked to be traded. They deserve that win because of the character they’ve developed,” he says. LaBelle says he’ll ask the players to approach the final 21 regular-season games as if they were the start of the campaign. “This is a brand-new season. Right now we’re 1-0 as far as we’re concern. At this point, we have to have some- thing to head for. We have 21 games left, so let’s go from here. We want to keep them motivated, interested and not giv- ing up.” The Axemen also played on Saturday afternoon at the Ajax Community Cen- tre against the Markham Waxers. The Axemen trailed 2-1 after two periods, surrendering two goals in the final pe- riod for a 4-1 loss. The Axemen travel to Toronto on Friday to meet the St. Michael Buzzers at St. Michael’s College School at 7:30 p.m. On Sunday, Ajax is on home ice to meet the Stouffville Spirit at the Ajax Community Centre at 3 p.m. Larry LaBelle St. John to scout for NLL’s Minnesota Swarm DURHAM — The head coach of the Ajax-Pickering Rock senior ‘B’ lacrosse team has added another job to his port- folio. Paul St. John has also been appointed the director of scouting for the newly- minted National Lacrosse League (NLL) franchise, the Minnesota Swarm, that’s preparing for the 2005 season. St. John admits he was in the running for the head coaching job in Minne- sota, which eventually went to Marty O’Neill. “He definitely has the experience I lack at that level, but I’m hoping to pick his brains and get the experience I need sooner rather than later,” he says. St. John adds his duties with Min- nesota won’t hamper his abilities to continue to coach the Rock, which will enter their third season of competing in the Ontario Lacrosse Association se- nior ‘B’ loop. Several of his own Rock players tried out for the Minnesota team recently, including Pat Van Hooser, Bill McLean and Shawn Summerfield, but the trio weren’t able to stick with the new club. One member of the Rock, how- ever, has signed on with another Rock team — the To ronto Rock. Goaltender Jay Preece was inked to a one-year deal after a solid tryout camp. The To ronto team also features captain Jim Veltman, who played last season in Ajax-Pickering. “(Preece) stuck it out with the To- ronto Rock and has made the team, and that’s terrific,” says St. John. Preece was the backup to Ajax-Pick- ering Rock starter Mike Miron last sea- son. In Toronto, Preece is expected to back up incumbent netminder Bob Watson. The backup spot opened up with the Rock after they dealt goalten- der Anthony Cosmo to the San Jose Stealth in October. Preece, says St. John, has indicated he’ll return to the Ajax-Pickering Rock for the 2005 season, and may be the starter, given that Miron — who’s cur- rently in camp with the Arizona Sting of the NLL -- isn’t sure whether he’ll come back to the senior ‘B’ ranks or play in the Major series next season. In other Ajax-Pickering Rock news, the team recently held its awards ban- quet for a successful 2004 season. The Rock advanced to the 2004 league semifinals before bowing out three games to two to a strong Owen Sound Woodsmen team in a tough five- game series. Award winners were: • Best two-way player: Pat Van Hoos- er; • Best offensive player: Jim Veltman; • Best defensive player: Shawn Sum- merfield; • Rookie of the year: Mark Craig; • Most Valuable Players: Bill McLean, Mike Miron (co-MVPs); • ‘Rock Star’ award (voted on by the players to a player who exemplifies heart-and-soul on and off the floor): Shawn Summerfield, St. John says he’s also concerned about the situation in Brooklin, with the Merchants of the senior ‘B’ league unsure if they’ll be on the floor for the 2005 season. There’s a movement to attract a new ownership to the team and, if that doesn’t materialize, the team may have to fold, St. John says. The team could also end up moving to Oshawa for next season, he notes. If Brooklin folds, the Rock may lose one of its best, and only Durham Re- gion rival in the league. On the other hand, the Rock could be the beneficia- ries of players who might have played with the Merchants this season. “If they don’t put a team on the floor, we can make one really good team in Durham, but that’s not to say that we haven’t had good teams here,” says St. John.

Hurricanes deal a blow to Panthers’ win streak Hot Newmarket goalie ends team’s six-game undefeated run By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — A six-game winning streak is over for the Pickering Panthers, but head coach John Winder is nonethe- less pleased with the effort his team put forth in the loss. The streak — the longest by a Pan- thers’ team in several seasons — ended with a 6-3 loss to the Newmarket Hur- ricanes in OHA Ontario Provincial Ju- nior ‘A’ Hockey League action at the Ray Twinney Recreation Complex on Sunday afternoon. The first-place team in the North Conference (22-9-0-0 for 44 points) fired its final goal into an empty net with four seconds remaining. Other than a brief lapse in the sec- ond period, where the Hurricanes scored back-to-back goals — the Pan- thers played the Hurricanes even for the most part. In fact, the Panthers actu- ally outshot Newmarket by a wide 51-32 margin, but couldn’t bury their chances behind David Davenport, who was sen- sational. “We outshot them, but Davenport stood on his head,” says Winder. “No matter what we shot at him, he stopped it.” At the end of two periods, the Pan- thers trailed 4-1, with Winder rallying the troops during the intermission. “I told them ‘we’ve been here before, so let’s go for it.’” The Panthers (18-10-1-2 for 39 points, tied for fourth in South Conference standings) eventually got as close as 4-3, but Newmarket responded with a goal at the eight-minute mark. Winder’s not sad to see the run of wins come to an end. “I’m not that big on streaks. If they come along, great, but if they don’t, at least we played well and we lost. We played as well as we could, but we couldn’t score,” he says. The Panthers extended their streak to six games on Friday night against the Oshawa Legion- aires (4-19-1-3 for 12 points, eight in South Conference standings) at the Pickering Recreation Complex. With Oshawa continuing to struggle, it was a game the Panthers should have won — and they did — by a 7-1 count. It was the Panthers fourth consecutive victory over the Oshawa squad this season. “Quite honestly, all things being equal, we should come out ahead. We felt we were the better team. If we play them straight up we feel we can beat them.” And, the Panthers players counted on to fill up opposition nets did so in spades against Oshawa. The line of Phil McIl- hone, Jeff Birr and rookie Chris Chappell continued to be a solid offensive threat, as both Birr and McIlhone scored twice apiece. “They’re a very strong unit right now,” says Winder. “They’re feeling comfort- able together.” Defenceman Kyle Roulston also bagged a pair of goals, and Andrew Dis- sanayake had the other marker. On Friday, the Panthers travel to Collingwood’s Eddie Bush Memorial Arena to play the Blues at 8 p.m. On Sun- day, the Pickering juniors are on home ice at the recreation complex against the Legionaires. Game time is 8:30 p.m. PANTHERS POSTSCRIPT: Derek Ly nden returned to the Panthers lineup against Oshawa Friday after being out for a month with a broken hand. His return, however, was short-lived, as he rebroke his hand. He’ll be out until after Christmas. Meanwhile, forward Aaron Zimner is still nursing an undisclosed injury and will also be lost until after Christmas. Rick Schofield remains out of the lineup with post-concussion syn- drome.

Annual Pickering ringette tournament hits the ice this weekend A/P PA GE A2 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆DECEMBER 8, 2004 Ajax girl is living a dream by performing in The Nutcracker By David Stell News Editor DURHAM — Courtney Hol- land will be living a dream when she steps onto the stage before a live audience and performs in the National Ballet of Canada’s ‘The Nutcracker’ this weekend. She’s among the leads of the show and she’s just 12 years old. Now, just days away from the big opening night, where she will play Marie, Courtney says it’s still not old hat to her. “I still get nervous beforehand, but once I’m on stage, I forget all about it,” she says. Rehearsals for the play have kept her busy and she’s been dancing for this opportunity with her partner Robert Binet since October. She’s happy to be paired with Robert, a friend at school, for this big step in her career. It’s important to have good chemis- try and practising has helped her prepare for dancing in the ballet, something she’s thought about for most of her life. “A t first it’s hard to remember what comes next, but when you practice it gets easier,” Courtney explains. She has Nutcracker memories from a young age and it left its impression on her the first time she saw it performed. “What I remember most is the second act, the courtiers,” Court- ney says. “They’re so colourful.” Although the Ajax girl is young, she’s been working towards this for years, having started dancing classes when she was just more than three years old. A teacher at her Montessori school, who had attended the National, recog- nized she had talent and encour- aged her parents to explore it. Courtney took to it immediately. “I just loved to dance,” she says. By age nine Courtney decided she wanted to try out for the Na- tional and asked her parents. At 10 she went to her first audition for the school. “I heard that’s where I could get the best training, I thought the teachers there could help me get better.” She passed the exam for sum- mer school, one of 150 kids from 1,500 who auditioned from across the country. Unfortunately, she was too young to attend the fall full-time school year then, and as a result, waited another year and had to audition again. Considering her drive, one wouldn’t be surprised to find out she passed once more and after participating in summer school again, was one of 45 out of 150 summer students to be accepted to the fall term in 2003. Now, while living in residence at the National and in the middle of her second year, she and her partner, chosen from six pairs of dancers, will play the parts of the children in the opening and closing shows for the world famous holiday fa- vourite. They will also dance the parts in five other performances in the run of 18 showings at Toronto’s The Hummingbird Centre, be- ginning Saturday, Dec. 11 and ending Dec. 29. The National school goes to Grade 12 and Courtney hopes to graduate there. When she’s not dancing, she explains, she’s not playing sports or watching TV: it’s homework time. But she wouldn’t change her opportunity for anything. Being away from home for school was a challenge for her family, especially her mom. Mar- cia Holland says it came down to a simple fact for them, in sup- porting their then 11-year-old going to Toronto. “This is her dream, we don’t feel we should stand in the way of her dream,” Ms. Holland says.
