Pickering hospital’s first
baby delivered to Rouge
Valley nurse, husband
By Danielle Milley
Staff Writer
AJAX — She just looked like a Madi-
son, said her mom.
And that’s how the first baby to be
born at the Ajax and Pickering hospital
in 2005 came to be known as Madison
Ann Henderson, even though her par-
ents — Tammy and Gordon Henderson
— had Victoria at the top of the short
list of girl baby names.
“When I saw her, about an hour later
I thought ‘Madison’,” Ms. Henderson
said as the precious baby girl dressed
in one of her many pink outfits laid
soundly in her arms.
Little Madison made her appearance
in the world at 6:08 a.m. Jan. 1 after put-
ting her mother through nearly 22 hours
of labour, although Ms. Henderson said
it wasn’t as bad as she imagined.
Having an epidural along with the
help of labour nurse Glenys Walker
made the experience much easier.
Although this is her first child, Ms.
Henderson has a lot of experience with
deliveries.
The new mom is a nurse at Rouge
Va lley Ajax and Pickering hospital. Al-
though she doesn’t work in labour and
delivery, she was present at many deliv-
eries when she was doing her nursing
training.
“I’ve seen 150 deliveries, but when
it’s yours you wonder ‘is that normal?’,
‘is she OK?’,” she said. “I didn’t even feel
like a nurse.”
Upon her arrival, the doctors whisked
Madison away to make sure everything
was OK with the nine-pound bundle of
joy and then placed her in her father’s
arms.
“I was speechless,” said Mr. Hender-
son. “I was numb. I don’t remember a
first thought.”
Ms. Henderson was moved.
“It’s so overwhelming, you’re crying
and you’re laughing,” she said.
Madison made everyone wait a cou-
ple of days before making her arrival as
the New Year’s baby; she was due Dec.
30.
“I think it’s special for her,” Mr. Hen-
derson said. He documented her first

PICKERING — Two crew mem-

a locomotive jumped the tracks in
north Pickering Monday.
The switcher locomotive jumped
the CP Railway line near Sideline 12

Safety a top
priority with
basement units
Registration is now
the law in Pickering
By Danielle Milley
Staff Writer
PICKERING — Pickering is encourag-
ing residents to register their basement
apartments — not just because it’s the
law, but also because of safety.
“The driving force behind this is to
make sure the minimum life-saving and
fire safety requirements are met,” said
Rex Heath, fire prevention officer. “Peo-
ple just think of the tenants but it is also
the people upstairs.”
Council passed a bylaw in November
requiring all accessory dwelling units,
generally basement apartments, be reg-
istered with the City. The bylaw came
into effect Dec. 1.
“Already, although it is really in its in-
fancy, it is working well,” Mr. Heath said.
“So far it appears to be going quite well.”
As of Dec. 29 one person has regis-
tered, one person was in the process
of applying and several people had in-
quired about the requirements when
building a new unit, he said.
Once a unit is registered the City in-
spects it for building and fire code re-
quirements. If it meets all requirements
the owner receives a registration certifi-
cate officially recognizing the property
as having two legal units. There are also

Pickering community mobilizes
City politicians,
businesses, residents
plan tsunami relief effort
By Danielle Milley
Staff Writer
DURHAM — The community has
mobilized quickly to help the victims of
the tsunami in South Asia.
A 20-member working group made
up of politicians, representatives from
community groups and business, and
individuals from across Durham have
come together to work on what they
hope is going to be the largest relief effort
in Durham.
“Our goal is to create so much interest
in this effort that if every person in Dur-
ham Region donates 50 cents we could
raise a quarter of a million dollars,” said
Pickering Ward 1 Regional Councillor
Maurice Brenner, who is co-chairman of
the group.
He added if the federal government
extends its deadline for matching dona-
tions the hypothetical total of $0.50 from
each resident would mean a total of
$500,000 from Durham alone.

Ryan points to successes
in 2004 as building blocks
for the year ahead
Ja nuary is my favourite month. Call me an
optimist, but I enjoy the sense of renewal that
the new year brings. I’m excited about the year
ahead and all of the opportunities that await
Pickering.
However, I’d like to pause and briefly reflect
on the year past. Thankfully, 2004 was a lot
different than 2003 — there was no blackout
or crisis like severe acute respiratory syndrome
(SARS). Instead, it was a year of getting back to
normal and moving ahead.
The City of Pickering had many successes in
2004, particularly in key areas such as econom-
ic development, the environment and service
delivery.
For example:
We developed several key agreements:
Minacs’ new 54,000-square-foot multimedia
contact centre; Harmony Logistics’ 716,000-
sq.-ft. distribution centre; and Ontario Power
Generation’s move to its new headquarters.
These projects bolster our reputation as a pre-
ferred business locale and will have a signifi-
cant impact on local employment opportuni-
ties and assessment revenues. Also, the Busi-
ness Advisory Council was established and
brought key stakeholders together to strategize
on economic development.
An 11-storey, 200-unit condominium began
construction near City Hall. Complementing
this was the completion of a CIBC branch
down the road. Both projects are excellent
urban intensification initiatives that help so-
lidify our burgeoning downtown core.
The City piloted the region’s first organics
collection program. Due to its overwhelming
success, the program was expanded to over
1,100 homes and will be used as a model
for other Durham municipalities. In addition,
there was a seamless transfer of waste collec-
tion services from the City to the Region.
The City co-founded the Greater Toronto
Area Customer Service Networking Group to
share best practices and ensure we continue
providing a high level of service to residents.
We also revised our website to maximize our
residents’ online experience and facilitate ac-
cess to municipal information.
In 2005, I fully expect the City of Pickering
to continue its winning streak. Our staff and
council are focused on making Pickering an
even better place to live, work and play. None-
theless, we will be faced with some challenges.
Although fiscal responsibility remains our
strength, it is becoming increasingly difficult
to balance our budget and keep taxes at an ac-
ceptable level. This situation is not unique to
Pickering. In fact, all municipalities were put
in the same sinking boat when the Province
downloaded a number of services to us. We
continue to lobby for a new deal, but in the in-
terim we need to keep our heads above water.
For this reason, economic development re-
mains a priority. We need to strengthen our
business infrastructure to attract more com-
mercial development. Although Pickering has
distinct advantages over its neighbours, we
need to promote ourselves better to the overall
GTA business community.
Growth will be a large issue in 2005 and I am
pleased that our growth management plan will
be entering its final phase. However, it’s crucial
that we resolve our dispute with the Province in
order to retain our planning rights for Seaton.
We hope to have this issue resolved shortly.
The Greater Toronto Airports Authority re-
leased its proposed plan for an airport in Pick-
ering. It is a given that an airport would realize
significant economic benefits for the City, but
before we can take a position, we must wait
until the full environmental assessment (EA) is
completed. The EA is expected to commence
this year and should be completed by 2008.
As you can see, the City of Pickering finds
itself faced with many challenges and opportu-
nities for 2005. I am confident that we will meet
these head on and continue our tradition of
municipal excellence. It is my expectation that
the city will continue to lead Durham in terms
of economic development, service delivery,
fiscal responsibility, and quality of life.

He said when the front wheels left the rail it
caused the locomotive to lean, resulting in the
diesel fuel leak. Before something was found
to catch the fuel, 75.7 litres leaked out and was
being cleaned up Monday afternoon.
“That’s the type of thing we jump on right
away,” Mr. Cocolicchio said. “Their first priority
would be to stop the leak.”
The Pickering Fire Department was on hand
to help in the cleanup.

Some of the minimum safety standards are
adequate exits from each unit, fire separations,
smoke alarms, and electrical safety, Mr. Heath
said.
“We’d encourage people to come forward to
make buildings safe for everyone in them — not
just tenants,” he said.
Meeting the standards varies depending on
the home. Mr. Heath said some units need very
little work while he has seen some that require a
lot. “All we ever ask for is minimum code require-
ments,” he said.
To be eligible to apply for registration of an ac-
cessory dwelling unit a house must be: detached
or semi-detached, not contain any business use,
have three parking spaces on the property, and
the ADU can’t be larger than 100 square metres
(1,076 square feet).
Until March 31, the one-time $500 registration
fee is being reduced to $250.

PICKERING — When Laurie Heath decided
to head to Pickering’s central library branch for
a few books Wednesday, she could never have
guessed the commotion that would ensue.
One of Ms. Heath’s three health-related selec-
tions was the Pickering Public Library system’s
one-millionth item to be checked out for the
year.
The regular library user was greeted by Mayor
Dave Ryan, library board chairman Hans Ven-
leeuwen, library chief executive officer Cynthia
Mearns and several councillors. There was lots
of hoopla, including balloons and gifts to mark
the occasion.
Ms. Heath was presented with a year-long
membership to the Pickering Recreation Com-
plex, a year’s family pass to Pickering Museum
Village, City of Pickering paraphernalia such as
a sweater, baseball hat and coffee mug, and a
book about the history of Pickering.
“I’m glad she won, she’s a regular,” said Ward
2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean.
It has been eight years since the library last hit
that volume of checkouts.
Since that time in 1996, the Internet has be-
come a major source for finding information,
which has impacted library circulation.
The library’s other numbers are also impres-
sive for the year: circulation is up 18 per cent
over last year, there were 500,000 visits and
150,000 uses of its Internet service.
“The walk-in traffic to our libraries is also at a
record high this year, with almost half-a-million
people coming in to use the workstations, do
homework, take out books, or attend a story-
time. Add to this our online use and we are very
clearly ending our busiest year ever,” Ms. Mearns
said in the release.

DURHAM — It’s the first time Ken
Hurst has done something of the sort
and now he’s challenging others to fol-
low suit.
The Pickering resident delivered
more than 50 letters to neighbours on
We yburn Square and Birchwood Cres-
cent, asking them to donate money to
tsunami and earthquake relief, through
the Canadian Red Cross.
“The inspiration came from the
amount of media coverage that this ca-
tastrophe has been brought to my atten-
tion. I had extra time between Christmas
and New Year’s,” Mr. Hurst states.
Donations totalled $1,090, which Mr.
Hurst delivered to the Red Cross yester-
day, Jan. 4.
Contributing to the disaster relief is
a “better use of money” than buying
Christmas gifts, he says. “Canadians,
most of us don’t need a lot. These peo-
ple need a lot.”
His challenge is to have “one person
on each street to go out and do their
own thing.”
Mr. Hurst had time off during the
Christmas break, so he decided to see
how much money he could raise.
“I didn’t think I’d get a dime, but I got
$1,000,” he notes.
Rather than go door-to-door, Mr.
Hurst delivered letters, along with a
newspaper advertisement from the Red
Cross.
In his letter Mr. Hurst wrote, “I am
writing this note with the hope that we,
as a group, can raise money as relief for
the people who suffered the devastation
in Southern Asia.
“It is impossible for us to imagine
what they are enduring. We live in such
a world of abundance. I’ve never orga-
nized anything like this before, but I feel
compelled to do something to help the
millions of people who have been affect-
ed as sons, daughters, sisters, brother,
mothers, fathers, etc. The death toll is
rising daily as more areas are searched.”
The first letter went out a few days
after the disaster. A second letter was
delivered Jan. 2 to let those who donated
know how much had been pledged.
The response has left him “very
pleased.
“Unless you’ve had your head buried
in the sand, you’ve heard about the di-
saster.”

DURHAM — Police are investigating
a suspicious death after the body of
16-year-old Kyla Holburn was found
face-down on the pavement outside
an apartment building Monday eve-
ning.
The victim, a Grade 11 student at
R.S. McLaughlin Collegiate in Oshawa,
was discovered around 6:30 p.m. by
a resident of the Wood Farm Manor
building at 1525 Nichol Ave., south-
west of Dundas Street and Thickson
Road.
The panicked resident alerted build-
ing superintendent George McLeod,
who went to investigate. He said he
found the partially clad teenager face-
down on a concrete ramp leading to
the building’s parking area.
“It was obvious she wasn’t breath-
ing,” said Mr. McLeod, who said he
immediately called 911.
Mr. McLeod said Kyla appeared to
be wearing work-out clothes and had
no coat on. He said he did not recog-
nize her as a resident of the building.
According to a report by Durham
Regional Police released yesterday
afternoon, Kyla had been reported
missing at 10 p.m. Monday night to
the Clarington Community Police Of-
fice. As of late afternoon yesterday,
Durham police were still referring to
the incident as a suspicious death.
Police were awaiting the outcome of
toxicology tests, after an autopsy failed
to reveal an obvious cause of death,
said Sergeant Paul McCurbin, police
spokesman.
“There are signs of trauma, and ob-
viously blood, and the fact she was
partially clothed,” he said.
Homicide cops were called in after
the discovery of the body, which was
found near a couple of garbage dump-
sters at the east side of the building.
The girl was pronounced dead at the
scene, police said.
Durham District School Board
spokeswoman Terri-Lee Sanford said
the board was alerted of Kyla’s death
by police Tuesday.
She said the board’s emergency re-
sponse team, which includes counsel-
lors, was dispatched to McLaughlin,
Ky la’s school.
“We do know the details of the situ-
ation,” Ms. Sanford said. “The school
is dealing with it and the Durham Dis-
trict School Board has sent people over
to help out.”
The counsellors would likely remain
at the school throughout the day yes-
terday to help young people deal with
the loss of a fellow student, Ms. San-
ford said.
Students said they arrived at school
Tuesday to find the flag at half-mast
and a number of classmates in tears.
Later that morning, news of Kyla’s
death was announced over the PA sys-
tem much to the shock of her friends.

PICKERING — For months of the
year fields of corn and canola dot the
land that is divided by dirt and gravel
roads.
The open land is home to the oc-
casional barn, many Ontario Classics
and several tiny school houses.
It sounds like a step back in time but
this scene can be found just a short
drive from the busy city north of Hwy 7
in Pickering.
The land has stood in limbo for more
than 30 years after being expropriated
by the federal government to build an
international airport in 1972. That plan
was cancelled but the Greater Toronto
Airports Authority put forward a draft
plan in November to build a two run-
way general aviation airport to open in
2012 and then expand to a commercial
airport with a third runway to handle
nearly 12 million passengers by 2032.
Before that happens Pickering Heri-
tage is urging the federal government
to retain the buildings not affected by
the clearing and that the others be re-
moved safely as a last resort.
“We want them to make a statement
that they support the heritage of Pick-
ering in general and that they realize
there is a lot of heritage left on the
airport site,” said John Sabean. “These
(houses) need protection. What we’ve
had is 30 years of neglect.”
Mr. Sabean is a member of Heritage
Pickering and the president of the Pick-
ering Historical Society. He has done
research on several of the homes on
the airport land.
The Heritage Pickering Advisory
Committee recently complied a list of
110 sites on the federal lands in Pick-
ering that may have some potential
heritage value on a local or provincial
level.
On a cool December day, Mr. Sabean
showed off some of these gems that
have stood the test of time to remain as
a window to Pickering’s past.
The first stop is the Bentley House
— not the beautiful one in Brougham
restored by the GTAA but rather the
one off Concession Eight Road. It was
built in the early or late 1850s and is
similar to the one in Brougham, a two
storey with dichromatic brick.
“Whether this is the poor man’s ver-
sion of the Bentley House or the Bent-
ley House is a rich man’s version of this
we don’t know,” Mr. Sabean said.
This house was missed when the
original inventory of heritage proper-
ties was done by the federal govern-
ment in the 1970s after the land was
expropriated, Mr. Sabean said, but the
committee is trying to have it recog-
nized now. This is one of houses that
is occupied by tenants but it could still
use a little TLC.
The eaves are drooping and the paint
on the corners could use a touch up.
“That has got to be restored or this
building will run into disrepair,” he
said.
Heritage Pickering is urging for the
continuous occupation of all potential
heritage properties. Its members say
homes that are occupied get cared for
and preserved better.
“If you leave them boarded up they
deteriorate faster,” Mr. Sabean said.
“We want the houses occupied. Until
they come with a bulldozer to build a
runway leave them tenanted.”
Ward 3 City Councillor David Pick-
les, who doesn’t support the building
of an airport, has also been working to
get some of the homes designated.
“Until the day comes where people
are about to put a shovel in the ground
there should be people living on and
working that land,” he said.
The Turner-Winger House on the
Seventh Concession Road is one of the
homes that was boarded up in recent
years.
The home was built by the Turner
family around 1875 and the Winger
family lived in the unique Ontario
classic when it was expropriated. The
home is one Ontario classic (a type
of architecture common in Ontario in
that era) facing the road attached to an-
other perpendicular to it with a gable
on each.
“I know it looks terrible all boarded
up,” Mr. Sabean said. It is evident from
the way he talks about it that he can
imagine it in all its glory without the
boards on the windows, the porch in
tact and the yard lovingly maintained.
“If a house if properly maintained,
properly cared for then they won’t have
the problems a lot of these houses do,”
Mr. Sabean said. “None of these houses
are in a condition that they can’t be
restored.”
Further east along the same con-
cession is the Gostick House. Set far
back from the road, this home was also
boarded up a few years ago.
The home, which sits on land that
would be part of the proposed air-
port property, is a one and a half sto-
rey three bayed Ontario classic with a
gable built in 1890 with intricate brick
work done in the usual reddish brick.
“I see it as a beautiful house,” Mr.
Sabean said.
The stone foundation is still standing
and the gingerbread is in good shape
but the house has several ‘no trespass-
ing’ signs nailed to it and the back has
been spray painted with graffiti giving
away the fact that no one calls it home
anymore.
“O nce a property is vacant it has less
of a chance of survival,” Coun. Pickles
said.
As Mr. Sabean continues the drive
along Concession Seven Road he sees
the Wilson house and begins to talk
about not only the bricks and mortar
that have been or could be lost but also
about the people and stories who have
left.
“The Wilsons, like many of the fami-
lies once they were expropriated, they
left because they didn’t want to live on
land that wasn’t theirs,” he said. “They
took with them all of their stories, all of
their pictures and all of their artifacts.
They took our heritage.”
Coun. Pickles said one of the prob-
lems with trying to get the federal gov-
ernment to designate the buildings as
heritage properties is that they need to
have national significance rather than
local or provincial.
“Often the buildings we would like to
recognize don’t meet the federal crite-
ria,” he said.
Coun. Pickles is supportive of Heri-
tage Pickering’s idea to re-establish a
federal heritage committee to look into
the buildings on the federal land.
Those buildings on Mr. Sabean’s tour
are just a sampling of the many won-
derful old homes could one day be
destroyed or removed to make way for
an airport or airport related industry.
There is also the Ever Green Villa (built
1854) on Brock Road and the Tullis
Cottage (built 1840) on the corner of
Brock and Concession Seven roads.
Tullis Cottage was once lived in by
Reverend George Barclay, a leader dur-
ing the rebellion of 1837. He was also
the first postmaster of Brougham.
Ever Green Villa was once the home
of C.E. Burton, who was CEO of the
Simpsons department store.
“Neither of these houses are going
to exist if they build an airport,” Mr.
Sabean said. “These two houses are
really important to Pickering’s heritage
because of the Barclay family and the
Burton family.”
The land is also home to cemeter-
ies, old school houses and the unique
tin house. Tucked away down
a long unpaved driveway, surrounded
by tall towering evergreens is the home
Mr. Sabean calls the tin house because
it is clad in metal.
It was built in the 1870s and the
medal cladding was added sometime
between 1900-1910 — a unique archi-
tectural detail for this area of Ontario.
“You’ll go a long way before you
find another building like this clad in
metal,” he said.
Parts of the metal have started to rust
but the porch is still standing and the
tenanted home appears to be holding
up well.
“I would hate to see this place
change,” Mr. Sabean said.
In addition to the history spread out
across the land, there is also a lot in
Brougham including the general store,
the commercial house and the com-
munity hall.
“Heritage is something that...we
should revel in our heritage,” Mr. Sa-
bean said. It’s not something we should
forget about.”
History
hangs in
the balance
A new Pickering airport could
mean loss of historic homes
Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photos
Time may have taken its toll on some of the interiors and exteriors of some homes on the federal lands in north Pickering, but the history is very much alive. The Turner-Winger House, right, and the Gostick House, centre,
have been boarded up in recent years. Heritage Pickering wants the federal government to restore the homes and keep them for tenants until construction vehicles start rolling in to build the proposed airport. The Bentley
House is one of the homes that is is currently being rented out.
John Sabean wants the historic homes on the federal lands in Pickering to be retained or safely moved if necessary to make way
for the airport proposed by the Greater Toronto Airports Authority. This is one of the more unique homes on the land, with Mr.
Sabean calling it the tin house because of its metal cladding. Mr. Sabean is a member of Heritage Pickering and president of the
Pickering Historical Society.
No trespassing signs have been erected on the boarded up Gostick House on the federal airport land in north Pickering. Boarded
up homes are frequent victims of graffiti and other vandalism, causing the historic buildings to quickly fall into disrepair. The metal
cladding on the tin house is a unique architectural feature that is difficult to find anywhere else in the area.
When asked why he wanted to help
his answer was simple.
“It touched me. How can it not when
you look at 100,000 souls who lost their
lives...How can any human being turn
their back on the need?” he said.
The Durham Community Tsunami
Relief group came together Dec. 30 after
Coun. Brenner and Ward 2 Regional
Councillor Bill McLean (co-chairman)
saw an article in the News Advertiser
about the Durham Tamil community
raising money for relief.
Coun. Brenner said he was contacting
the Tamil group while they were con-
tacting him and from their the planning
took off.
“Basically we began building the
working group by Friday and by Sun-
day night we had a working group that
was ready to meet Monday,” he said. “It
started as an Ajax-Pickering initiative
and by noon yesterday (Monday) it was
Durham wide.”
The group includes Pickering council,
Ajax Mayor Steve Parish has said he is
excited about Ajax being a part of it,
representatives from the News Adver-
tiser are involved, Regional Chairman
Roger Anderson
is involved, the
Durham Tamil
Association, the
Red Cross, and
several business-
es.
Coun.
Brenner said he
is overwhelmed
with how fast
everything has
come together.
“The mobilization of the community,
I’ve never seen anything like this,” he
said.
Coun. McLean spent much of Tues-
day making contact with boards of trade
and people in the business community.
He said the Durham relief effort is a good
way for people to contribute who want
to help but don’t know how.
“It’s a great opportunity for Durham
residents to get involved and take part
in the relief effort and have it not just be
corporations,” he said, adding this is an
opportunity for people to show what a
caring community Durham is.
Coun. Brenner said anyone can join
the group.
“It’s open to anyone and everyone
who want to roll up their sleeves to work
with us on this initiative,” he said.
The effort is to culminate Jan. 29 in a
day-long event in what Coun. Brenner
wants proclaimed as tsunami relief day.
The details of the day are still being
worked out. A bank account has been
set up at the Bank of Montreal at 1298
Kingston Rd., at Liverpool Road. The
account number is 8143-305, the bank
number is 001 and the transit number is
29972.

BRRR! IT’S COLD OUTSIDE!
IF IT’S TOO COLD FOR YOU,
IT’S TOO COLD FOR YOUR PET
Cold temperatures combined with dampness and wind chill are a deadly mix that can lead
to frost bite and hypothermia. Even a pet that spends extended periods of time outdoors
cannot protect itself from the extreme cold and biting wind and should be taken indoors.
WINTER HEALTH AND SAFETY TIPS
*After a dog or cat has been outside, check it’s feet for clumps of ice between the
pads. Sharp ice can cut the pads and increase the danger of frostbite. Also,
clean the paws to remove any salt that can irritate your pet. If your pet has to lick
it’s feet clean, the chemicals in the salt can make it sick.
*Antifreeze is a deadly poison, but your pet doesn’t know it. The sweet taste and
smell of antifreeze can lure your pet into a death trap. Make sure you tighten
the lids on your chemicals and keep them away from your pets.
*Cats looking for shelter in the winter often crawl up into a vehicle’s warm
engine. They can be seriously injured if you start your vehicle. Honk the horn,
open the hood of your vehicle, or bang loudly on the hood before starting the
engine to frighten away any animal hiding there.
This winter please remember if it’s too cold for you outside, it’s too cold for your pet.

importance of responsible ownership, to find a lost pet, or to offer a homeless pet a good,
loving home.

I stopped going to church
years ago. My departure
from the flock arrived hand
in hand with my leaving home
for the first time and the sud-
den realization that, if push
came to shove, I could prob-
ably take the priest in a fist
fight. I didn’t have to be there
anymore.
I’ve not regretted this deci-
sion much. In the years since
leaving organized religion, I
believe I have become a much
more spiritual person than I
ever was sitting in a pew.
And that’s not altogether a
condemnation of the church;
a lot of it has to do with my
own tortoise-like growth.
But there’s a price to be paid
for every choice we make isn’t
there? It’s always a saw-off of
sorts.
What I’m realizing nowa-
days is that, because of my own
absence on Sunday mornings,
my children have very little
knowledge of biblical lore. Sto-
ries and lessons that were, for
better or worse, burned into
me regarding floods, lion’s
dens, plagues and the parting
of seas have little or no reso-
nance with my own kids.
As far as they know, Nebu-
chadnezzar was some cat on
Pokemon and the Philistines
opened for Green Day, didn’t
they?
I feel badly about all of this.
As adamant as I am that the
Bible is, in fact, a collection of
stories and is not to be taken
literally, those are still some
pretty good stories, and there is
a great deal to be learned from
them. And, like it or not, much
of our society, the society my
kids live in, functions within
Christian laws and mores. I
think I’ve done them a bit of
a disservice in not at least ex-
posing them to the Bible.
But how do I do that now?
Do I just leave copies lying
around and hope they’ll even-
tually get interested? Do I start
slipping in biblical referenc-
es at the dinner table? “Boy,
honey, that meatloaf was fit
for Habakkuk,” or “Call me a
Shunammite, but I’m having
seconds!” Or maybe, since my
boys are getting older now, I
should just cut to the chase
and point out the juicy bits in
“Song of Songs.” Believe me,
if Sister Loyola had read a few
verses of that now and then,
I’d still be in Sunday school.
I used to read to my chil-
dren before bed. It was a ritual
that I loved, I think, even more
than they. But over these last
couple of years it has fallen,
perhaps naturally, by the way-
side as they have developed
their own tastes in books and
taken to reading privately in
bed — sometimes long after
“lights out,” I hasten to add.
But might it not be a nice
thing to occasionally read
aloud a verse or two out of
the Good Book before we all
put our heads down? I think I
might skip some of the heavier
stuff. No kid sleeps well with
the Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse dancing in his
head. But the lyrical poetry of
Psalms or Ecclesiastes or Song
of Solomon? The Lord is my
Shepherd, I shall not want....
Still pretty good stuff.
Neil Crone, actor-comic-
writer, saves some of his best
lines for his columns.
Gay rights deserve
federal support
To the editor:
There are more than 60
rights that heterosexual cou-
ples benefit from when they
get married that are denied to
gay couples unless they are al-
lowed to marry.
Among those rights are the
following: Surviving spousal
benefit, appointment as guard-
ian of a minor, consent to post-
mortem examination, funeral
leave, insurance coverage, legal
status with a partner’s children,
making medical decisions for
a partner, permission to make
arrangements for burial or cre-
mation, right to sue for death
by wrongful act, spousal im-
migration benefits, and in vitro
fertilization coverage.
Those are just a few among
the many rights denied to gay
couples and it’s apparently in
the name of religious beliefs
and protecting the sanctity of
marriage. The funny thing of
it all is that denying happiness
and equality to anyone does
not seem very religious at all.
If anything, gays respect
marriage more so than hetero-
sexuals because they’ve been
denied the right for so long.
They might actually restore
sanctity into the institution that
is taken for granted by many.
If people are so concerned
about the institution itself,
then take it to the next level.
Create some kind of evaluation
system that couples must take
in order to prove they’re willing
to make and stick with such a
big commitment as marriage.
Or better yet, start increas-
ing the punishments to people
who take marriage for granted
and abuse the sacred institu-
tion. Perhaps a little jail time
for people who divorce or
cheat.
If you ask me, opponents
harm the family unit and
threaten the sanctity of mar-
riage more than gay couples
ever will.
I commend Ajax-Pickering
MP Mark Holland for standing
up for same-sex marriage and I
think it’s a shame that Picker-
ing-Scarborough East MP Dan
McTe ague probably won’t sup-
port the bill.

ODA’s position on
hygienists inaccurate
To the editor:
Re: ‘Flaherty aims to remove
restrictions on dental hygien-
ists’, Dec. 15.
Although (the article) was
objective in its reporting,
I would like to clarify some
points about public safety.
The public is being told by
the Ontario Dental Associa-
tion (ODA) that if hygienists
are allowed to clean teeth
without a dentist’s order, it
will “endanger patients.” This
is inaccurate and discredits
both professions — dentistry
and dental hygiene. It also
puts the public in the unfair
position of questioning or
distrusting the care they are
receiving in the dental office.
As a longtime practising
dental hygienist and president
of the Ontario Dental Hygien-
ists’ Association, I am deeply
offended when someone says
I would jeopardize a person’s
safety.
I hope the public can see
this as a scare-mongering
tactic by dentistry to try and
stop Bill 116 from becoming
law. Bill 116, tabled by Whit-
by-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty, re-
ceived unanimous support for
second reading in the legisla-
ture on Dec. 2. Removing the
order means dental hygienists
can work outside the dental
office, which would increase
access to oral care for the sick,
the homebound and those in
long-term care facilities.
ODA president-elect Joce-
lyn Pearce says some of these
patients have compromised
medical conditions and their
health would be at risk. Due
to the link between oral health
and overall health, these indi-
viduals are more at risk if they
don’t receive dental hygiene
services.
During the debate on Bill
116, there were frequent
references by MPPs to the
Health Professions Regula-
tory Advisory Council, which
considered safety issues and
reported back to the minister
of health in 1995 and again in
1996, recommending removal
of the order, as it served no
public interest.

ONTARIO PRESS COUNCIL
So many examples this holiday season
showed our community has a big heart
D urham Region residents have proven their generosity
once again.
Over the last few weeks, community groups, schools,
sports teams, clubs, and our local police officers were just a few of
the countless groups across Durham Region to orchestrate food
and toy drives in the name of our neighbours in need.
Here at the newspaper we heard from so many people wanting
to do their part.
The efforts resulted in piles of toys and thousands of non-per-
ishable food items going to families in need this year.
Consider just a few of the stories. The annual Durham Regional
Police Food and Toy collection kept getting bigger on its way to
new records, including donations to 41 agencies in Durham. The
Escalator Handrail Company in Oshawa kicked December off by
challenging all businesses to see which organization could raise
the most food items.
When all was said and done, employees there had raised an
astonishing 6,818 pounds of food. And they’re not resting on their
laurels, they’re already aiming for 7,000 pounds next year.
In Scugog, the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation
handed out $170,650 to community groups, including $25,000 to
a much needed restoration committee for the Port Perry Scout
Hall.
Ajax and Pickering residents helped raise enough money to
have hundreds of gift boxes delivered to children 12 years old and
under through the Santa Claus Fund.
The list goes on and on. If anything, the campaigns to raise food
and toys reminds us of the constant need in our communities.
Canada offers a standard of living that is the envy of the world.
Here in Durham we benefit from a region that offers plenty for its
residents. However, the reality is that many among us rely on a
hand to get by each week. Often it’s a fine line between giving or
receiving that assistance.
So, while we have reason to celebrate our contributions, it’s
important to remember the need is year-long. Without ongoing
support, our food bank shelves will soon be empty. Without con-
tinued donations our neighbours in need will have nowhere to
turn.
If we all play a part in 2005, it will go a long way.

[ Ringette ]]
Silver lining for Ajax
juniors at Markham
tournament
AJAX — There was no holiday
from winning as the Ajax Eastern Eaves-
troughing junior ‘B’ ringette team cap-
tured a silver medal recently.
Playing in the Markham Holiday
Classic Ringette Tournament, the Ajax
squad reached the finals before falling
to the host team.
Held on Dec. 27 and 28, the tourna-
ment’s other teams came from Pickering
and Barrie.
In the championship tilt, Ajax fell to
Markham 4-2. After a scoreless first
period, Markham opened the scoring,
but Stephanie MacMillan responded for
Ajax, with an assist to Lesley Campbell.
Markham pulled in front again with three
straight markers before Samantha Em-
bleton closed out the scoring, assisted
by Katie Laviolette.
Ajax opened the tourney by edging
Barrie 2-1, with both Ajax goals com-
ing in the first period. Rosalie Garofalo
ripped one home less than 90 seconds
in, on an assist from Embleton. Garofalo
returned the favour, along with Allison
Lewis, as they set up Embleton for the
second local marker with less than
a minute to go in the period. Barrie
notched its lone goal in the second.
Game 2 was a back-and-forth af-
fair between Ajax and Markham, as the
teams took turns taking the lead before
settling for a 5-5 tie.
Markham opened the scoring, but
Garofalo knotted the affair with assists
from Nicole Cooke and Lewis. Laviolette
put Ajax up, as MacMillan and Cooke
chipped in. Markham then scored two
straight before Samantha Olynk hit for
Ajax, with Embleton and Clarissa Sid-
away assisting.
Markham again took the lead, but
Campbell’s goal, with help from MacMil-
lan and Olynk, ended the scoring.
Three late goals pushed Ajax past
Pickering 4-1, in what had been a close
game. Pickering opened the scoring, but
Embleton, aided by Garofalo, tied it up.
The next three goals all came with less
than five minutes to play. Sidaway hit the
back of the net first, assisted by MacMil-
lan and Christine Mattless. Then Garo-
falo, aided by Campbell and Robyn West,
scored. The final marker game just over
a minute later with Julia MacFadyen
scoring from Garofalo and Embleton.
In all four games, Ajax benefitted
from the stellar goaltending of Kailey
Orr.
Skills competitions were also held
and all six Ajax participants won gold.
Orr took part in the goalie event, Emble-
ton in the shooting portion, Sidaway,
MacMillan, Laviolette and Cooke in the
relay race.
Becky Smith and Stephanie Kirton
were absent.
Coaches and managers are Craw-
ford MacFadyen, Rob Embleton, Susan
Sidaway and Heather Laviolette.

Hockey Cougars take a bite
out of Pickering High Trojans
Tournament loss serves
as wake-up call for
Notre Dame
By Al Rivett
Sports Editor
AJAX — Missing out on a chance
to play in the final of last month’s
Pickering Panthers-News Advertiser
High School Hockey Classic didn’t sit
well with the Notre Dame Catholic
Secondary School Cougars.
So, the Cougars pounced on the
next best thing: beating the tour-
nament champion Pickering High
School Trojans in the first game for
both teams following the Christmas
break.
After a shaky first period Monday
afternoon in which the Cougars were
held in by the solid goaltending of
starter Ryan Boucher, Notre Dame
recovered nicely to post a 5-2 victory
in Lake Ontario Secondary School
Athletics (LOSSA) regular-season ac-
tion at the Ajax Community Centre.
The backbreaker for the Trojans
came with 37 seconds remaining in
the second period. With the score
tied 2-2, Notre Dame’s Mike Costas
fired a backhand shot from the slot to
give the Cougars a lead heading into
the intermission.
The Cougars added to their lead
with four minutes remaining and
then sealed the deal with an empty-
net marker with 1:27 on the clock
and Pickering High enjoying a 5-on-3
man advantage.
For the Cougars (7-1-1 in league),
the victory represented a little re-
demption from losing to the Trojans
(4-4-0 in league) at the pre-Christmas
tournament. In that event, the Tro-
jans prevailed in preliminary play to
knock the Cougars out of contention.
The Trojans defeated Pickering’s
Dunbarton High in the final.
“The guys definitely came out and
played hard,” says Cougars’ head
coach Jon Di Ianni. “We lost to Pick-
ering at the tournament and the guys
weren’t pleased about that. We want-
ed to avenge that loss, for sure.”
The Cougars accomplished the vic-
tory in the battle of two Ajax schools
while being short-staffed, with
enough players to form two forward
lines and four defencemen. The Tro-
jans, too, played without the services
of several key players, playing with
two forward lines and three defence-
men.
Monday’s result, however, didn’t
sit well with Trojans’ coach Lou Man-
serra. After controlling the play in
the opening 15 minutes, the Trojans
couldn’t sustain their intensity.
“It seemed we ran out of gas for
some reason,” says Manserra. “They
weren’t in step today; the legs weren’t
there.”
Also scoring for the Cougars were
Dave Fearon with two, Ryan Carey
and Mike Minnings.
Dylan O’Neill and Derek Gregorack
notched the Pickering High markers.

Aj ax rink energized
by ef fo rt at junior
bonspiel in Toronto
March team wins junior
men’s Third Event title;
Little rockers hit the ice
this weekend
By Jim Easson
Special to the News Advertiser
AJAX — An Ajax youth rink warmed
up for the provincials with an inspired
effort at the TCA Energizer Junior Bon-
spiel in Toronto last weekend.
Annandale’s Tim March rink joined
23 other junior men’s entries at the
Avonlea and Tam Heather curling
clubs. The March team won the Third
Event at the bonspiel, recording three
consecutive wins after losing its first
game.
With March were Matt Pyne, Patrick
Janssen and Tyler Anderson.
The TCA Energizer Junior Bonspiel
is a top event in Ontario and attract-
ed most of the best junior curlers in
southern Ontario.
In addition to the high calibre of
play, the winning teams in each of the
junior men’s and women’s events earn
a curling trip to Switzerland.
Paul Bourque of Ajax is the TCA
treasurer, and with his wife Joan, will
be escorting the two winning teams to
Switzerland from Feb. 13 to 23.
The competition was good prepara-
tion for the March rink’s upcoming ap-
pearance at the Ontario Junior Men’s
Championship, which is in Peterbor-
ough from today, Jan. 5, to 9.
There, they will meet seven other re-
gional winners in a round-robin play-
down. The competition includes the
Scott Macdonald rink from London,
which is fresh off of winning the trip to
Switzerland in the TCA ’spiel.
Annandale had other entries at the
TCA Energizer Bonspiel. The Lesley
Pyne rink earned a semifinal berth
in the main bantam girls’ event, but
bowed out in an extra end. With Pyne
were Heather Bell, Leahanne Legrow,
and Stacey Hogan.
Meanwhile, the team of Meaghan
O’Leary, Sean Canavan, Kaitlyn Leslie,
and Tracy O’Leary competed in the
junior women’s event.
•••
Annandale will host its annual Youth
Bonspiel this Saturday, Jan. 8.
Event co-ordinator Susannah
Moylan has had a full draw confirmed
for a while. Sixteen ‘Little Rock’ (play-
ers age 12 and under) teams play two
six-end games each, and the same
number of bantam/junior teams play
three games apiece. All players will get
to visit the prize table.
Eight Annandale teams are regis-
tered in both events.
Young musicians string
up impressive list
of accomplishments
By Christy Chase
Staff Editor
DURHAM — You might call them
the ‘fiddlers five’.
They are Emily Yarascavitch, 10,
Alanna Jenish, 9, and her sister Col-
leen, 11, Eric Provencher, 12, and his
brother Phillip, 9, young Durham resi-
dents who spend much of their time
fiddling around and to such an extent
they are constantly winning competi-
tions.
In the region, these young musi-
cians can be seen regularly at the
monthly meetings of the fiddle clubs
of Oshawa-Whitby, Port Perry, New-
castle and Bowmanville, sharing their
talents and reaping the experience of
the veteran fiddlers at the clubs.
Emily has step danced since she
was four and played the fiddle since
she was five. She’s competed since she
was six. Today, she takes top marks for
both as do the Jenish girls, with whom
she competes in a group dance.
“My brothers used to play fiddle so
I would listen to them and I liked it,”
she said.
The Grade 5 student at Father Fran-
cis Mahoney Catholic School started
with step dancing and then graduated
to fiddling, a natural progression, said
her mother Rosemary.
Emily was the Ontario fiddle champ
for eight and under and then the pro-
vincial champ for nine and under.
“She took top place in all her com-
petitions both years,” her mother
said.
“I placed in the top five in every
competition this summer,” Emily
said, pointing out there was one every
weekend from July through Septem-
ber.
She competed in the 12 and under
category this past summer.
Colleen, who started when she was
five, has been competing in fiddle
for three years, her sister, Alanna, for
one.
“We lived in Ottawa when the chil-
dren were small and it’s very big in
the Ottawa Valley,” said their mom,
Beth. “It’s in the city brochure just like
swimming lessons.”
This past summer, Colleen was in
the top five in each competition in the
12 and under category. Alanna picked
up two firsts in fiddling and was in the
top three or four in other contests.
Eric, who has been fiddling for just
over five years, placed first in the Ca-
nadian fiddling championship in the
summer, a very high honour, said his
dad Al Provencher.
His brother Phillip, fiddling for just
over two years, placed second in his
category there.
Provencher said he played banjo
and Eric decided he wanted to play
too and learned the fiddle. Phillip too
decided to take it up.
“I feel the more they do it, the more
fun they have with it,” Provencher
said. And it is fun the young musi-
cians like most about fiddling and
competing.
“It’s a lot of fun,” said Colleen, in
Grade 6 at St. John Bosco Catholic
School. “We go to fiddle clubs every
month. We have lots of friends who
play the fiddle and step dance. I want
to be a step dance teacher.”
“When I’m fiddling, I travel a lot
and I meet people,” said Emily.
But it’s not all fun. There’s the con-
stant practise, at least an hour a day,
more during the summer competition
season.
“They work hard,” said Jenish.
“They certainly aren’t sitting in front
of the TV or computer. They have to
keep up the practise to be competi-
tive.”
The musicians’ proud parents are
grateful for the encouragement and
support the local fiddle clubs give
their children.
“I think a lot of credit goes to the
fiddle clubs,” Yarascavitch said. “The
people from the clubs really support
these kids. They really encourage
them.”
The Oshawa-Whitby club has a
group of about 35 members who fol-
low the summer weekend compe-
titions, camping at the events and
cheering on the young musicians.
