However, the Pickering Grade 4 student didn’t see the usual light holiday fare. “I saw people dying and I felt sorry for them,” she says. “As soon as I turned on the TV, I saw people running from the waves, holding on to trees.” Thousands of students saw the south Asian disaster unfold before their eyes through the media. They watched and they wanted to help, so when school resumed last week, it didn’t take long for toonie drives and other fundraisers to pop up across the region. Durham school com- munities could potentially raise tens, even hundreds of thou- sands of dollars for the relief effort. The disaster hit close to home for Raeesah, a Valley Farm Public School student, whose family is from Sri Lanka. Fortu- nately, most of her relatives live in the capital, Colombo, largely spared the horror. However, Raeesah says other relations, in the southern part of the coun- try, were forced to climb into trees to stay safe from rising water. The school is holding toonie Tuesdays all month and a bake sale is planned for the end of January.

Students offer a lesson in giving Two 18-year-olds guilty of six robberies By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — Crown prosecutors in Durham have taken the extraor- dinary step of applying to have two teenagers sentenced as adults for their roles in a string of violent con- venience store robberies. If the Crown is successful it could mean the two youths, who are now both 18 but were 16 when their gang robbed stores in Ajax, Pick- ering, Whitby and Toronto, could be sentenced to penitentiary time. The two young men, who can’t be named under provisions of the Yo uth Criminal Justice Act, pleaded guilty Wednesday in Superior Court to six counts of robbery. The violent robberies, in which convenience store clerks were terrorized and in some instances stabbed by three masked assail- ants, took place in April and May of 2003. Prosecutor Kent Saliwonchyk told Justice David Salmers he in- tends to seek adult sentences for the two young men. Two weeks of court time, beginning in March, have been set aside for the Crown’s application. Defence lawyers indi- cated they’ll contest the move. Outside court Mr. Saliwonchyk wouldn’t discuss why the Crown is seeking to have the two young men sentenced as adults. But he did ac- knowledge the unusual nature of the application. “It’s quite rare,” he said. “So far we’re aware of one other instance in Ontario where the case has been made.” The Youth Criminal Justice Act replaced the Young Offenders Act in April of 2003. While the thrust of the new legislation is to seek alternative measures to jail time for youthful, non-violent offenders, it also contains provisions allow- ing for harsher treatment for repeat Give your home a new look for Winter We are Durham’s fl ooring experts!

Chad Singh says the school’s goal of $7,000 is achievable. “I think we’re really good at achieving goals,” says the Grade 7 student. “Our school is a caring school, so I think we’re going to reach our goal.” Principal Silvia Peterson estimates 40 nationalities are represented at Valley Fa rm, which she says is probably the most multicul- tural in Durham. A respect for diversity and commu- nity is part of the school’s mission statement, and she says students take it to heart and were eager to help with the relief effort. A display case in the school’s foyer is full of images of disaster victims culled from news- papers. The staff and students at Maple Ridge Public School are doing two fundraisers. The first raised roughly $850, to be matched by the Canadian government. However as a longer-term relief project, ‘Wave of Hope — From Children to Chil- dren,’ the school communi- ty is continuing to fundraise. The money will be used to purchase backpacks, to be filled with personal neces- sities like toothbrushes, soap and something to offer emotional support, perhaps a teddy bear for the young- est victims. Principal John Briggs says a parent has already donat- ed 16 backpacks — what they will contain is still evolving. “The key thing here is to get the children involved in a practical, hands-on way,” he says. And the school will need some help when the back- packs are ready for their destination — any help from a community member would be appreciated, Mr. Briggs says. As at other schools, edu- cation and fundraising are going hand-in-hand. Maple Ridge students are asking themselves what should go into the backpacks, and stu- dents across the region have learned where the affected area is, what causes a tsuna- mi, why so many people are in distress and what they require. “It became a geography assembly,” Howard Booth- by, principal at Fairport Beach Public School in Pickering, said of educat- ing younger students when school resumed after the holiday. He says some parents sent in $100 cheques, not- ing that a student at Fair- port Beach, as well, donated the $50 in Christmas money he had received. When the student’s mother suggested he donate just a portion of the funds, he was adamant that it all go towards the relief effort.

New regulated price plan in works By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — Ontario’s new electricity act promotes conservation and reduc- ing demand, but along the way, the power landscape is changing for both the av- erage consumer and those who generate and provide them with power. Last month the provincial legislature passed The Elec- tricity Restructuring Act, cre- ating a new Ontario Power Authority and Conservation Bureau, headed by Ontario’s first Chief Energy Conserva- tion Officer. George Armstrong, man- ager of regulatory affairs and key projects at Verid- ian Connections, the power distributor for customers in Ajax, Pickering, Uxbridge, Clarington, and Port Hope, among others, says the act “e stablished a new regulated electricity market for the province. “How that’s going to im- pact customers over the lon- ger term is difficult to say at this point.” However, Mr. Armstrong notes that a new, regulated price plan (RPP) for low-vol- ume consumers with con- ventional electricity meters is in the works, with a target implementation date of April 1. Currently, low-volume consumers, for example ho- meowners, pay 4.7 cents per kilowatt hour for the first 750 kwh used each month and 5.5 cents for usage be- yond that level. A new RPP could see a two-tiered RPP with price levels remaining constant all year. The sec- ond option is a two-tiered plan with the year split into two seasons, with consump- tion thresholds for each. In the latter proposal, the threshold would be higher in the winter and lower in the summer, which means those who use a lot of power to air condition their homes would probably pay more to beat the heat. As for the new electric- ity sector structure, the price paid to a generator for power would differ depending on the source, Mr. Armstrong says. “We understand that a number of Ontario Power Generation hydraulic assets, for example Niagara Falls and Pickering and Darling- ton, some or all of their ca- pacity would be operating under rate regulation.” That represents a move away from a 100-per cent, competitive system, Mr. Armstrong says, noting rates would have to be approved by the Ontario Energy Board. Mr. Armstrong says the Ontario Power Authority “is going to have the responsi- bility for developing an inte- grated power system plan. “Essentially, if the private market doesn’t deliver, the OPA will have authority to go out and contract for it.” He adds Veridian wel- comes the creation of the new Conservation Bureau, which will find ways to re- duce the demand for elec- tricity in Ontario. Veridian plans to invest in improving the efficiency of its distribu- tion network, to try and de- crease the amount of power that is lost in the process of getting it to customers, Mr. Armstrong says. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JANUARY 14, 2005 PAGE 3 A/P The Garden Villas of Wilmot Creek are delightful townhomes where your dreams will flourish.

According to the legislation, one of the circumstances under which harsher sentences can be meted out is when youths are found guilty of crimes for which an adult would be sentenced to penitentiary time of more than two years in custody, Mr. Sali- wonchyk said. In November, Christopher Ju- nior Brown, an adult, was sen- tenced to nine years for partici- pating in three of the robberies in which the two young men were involved. During Wednesday’s hearing, Justice Salmers viewed store se- curity tapes of four of the rob- beries for which the young men were convicted. In each instance three men burst into the stores and jumped the counter, trap- ping terrified clerks and forcing them to open cash registers. An imitation gun was bran- dished in the Whitby robbery; in the others, a knife was used. In one of the tapes, a clerk is slashed across the face with a knife. In another, a screaming clerk is stabbed in the back as the assailants swarm him be- hind the counter of his store. The hearing on the Crown’s sentencing application is sched- uled to begin March 8. Court shown videos of robberies in Ajax and Pickering ✦ Court from page 1 Police called while suspect still in line PICKERING — Alert store security workers helped po- lice nab a man attempting to pull off a scam at a de- partment store Wednesday night. Loss prevention officers at the Sam’s Club store in Pickering called police to report the theft in progress around 7 p.m. Wednesday. When an officer arrived, store security pointed out a man who was waiting to pay for a cartload of items at a cash register. Police said a suspect who worked with at least one ac- complice removed a vacu- um cleaner from its large box, stuffed the box full of electronic and computer equipment, and resealed the box. The suspect was attempting to pay for the box when he was arrested, police said. An officer opened the box and found the electronic equipment, a report said. Charged with theft, pos- session of stolen property and fraud under $5,000 is Gela Khajishuili of Jane Street in Toronto. Could save parents up to $700 per child By Jennifer Stone Staff Writer DURHAM — Area children will have “equal opportu- nity” to avoid some serious or common illnesses, now that the Province is funding three additional vaccines. “It is incredibly impor- tant to have it available, and equitable, so we have equal opportunities to save lives, and to save parents from having to be out of pock- et for the dollars,” said Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham’s Associate Medical Officer of Health. The three vaccines now being paid for by the gov- ernment include varicella, which helps prevent chick- en pox and its complica- tions; pneumococcal con- jugate, which works against diseases such as meningitis, pneumonia and infections of the bloodstream; and meningococcal C-conju- gate, which helps prevent meningi- tis and meningo- coccal infections of the blood. The vaccines help deal with “s ome of the most serious or com- mon diseases of childhood,” said Dr. Reynolds. The shots have been added to the recommended schedule of routine childhood immu- nizations. The vaccines will be provided by the Minis- try of Health to local health units, which then distribute the serums to doctors’ of- fices. None of the newly-cov- ered vaccines are currently required under the Immu- nization of School Pupils Act, so parents will be able to choose whether their children receive them. “These are very safe vac- cines,” said Dr. Reynolds. “The main side effect is soreness at the injection site.” The pro- gram began being rolled out last September, with children born on or after Sept. 1, 2003, becoming eligible for free chicken pox and meningitis vac- cine. It expanded effective Jan. 1, with the chicken pox vac- cine now being available to 5 year olds who have not yet had the illness. As well, all children under 2, born on or after Jan. 1, 2004, will be eligible to receive the pneumococcal vaccine, and the meningococcal vaccine available to 12 year olds and 15 to 19 year olds, as well as high-risk individuals of all ages. Some drug plans covered the cost of the vaccines be- fore the implementation of the provincial program, but in many cases, parents who wished to have their chil- dren receive the vaccines had to foot the bill. “We’re talking upwards of $700 per child, and many people don’t have that extra amount, even though their intentions of the health of their children are great,” said Dr. Reynolds. Having the Province foot the bill also lends some ad- ditional legitimacy to the vaccines, said Dr. Reynolds. “When it was not fund- ed by the Province, some people questioned whether it was useful and effective. Now, it is... felt that they are useful and effective vac- cines,” she said. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JANUARY 14, 2005 PAGE 5 P CANADIAN TIRE PICKERING ONLY 1735 Pickering Parkway (at Brock Road), Pickering • 905-686-2308 SPOTLIGHT • 1 million candle power • Includes: AC charger & rechargeable battery DC charger with CLA adapter 37-9449-4 $999 Reg. 19.99 Many more unadvertised specials available instore.

What’s happening at the library JANUARY 14, 2005 P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JANUARY 14, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Tr ansit cash ensures buses keep rolling If the folks at Ajax Pickering Transit Authority have a smug smile on their faces this week, forgive them please. They have a right to be proud after all. The provincial government recently came to Pickering to an- nounce funding for transit service in Ontario, choosing to hold the press conference here because APTA is doing so well. Trans- portation Minister Harinder Takhar held the local transit up as an example of how the rest of the province should be moving people around. More important, APTA is growing with its population and meeting the needs of the many different citizens who need the service, both young and old, commuters and students alike. And the $1.2 million APTA will receive comes at a great time. As we move inevitably toward a regional busing system, it’s good to see the money invested now to make improvements to transit. Even though it is growing, APTA is no different than any other transit system in the province, with new buses needed, others needing refurbishing and a never-ending need to increase services to make it more convenient and accessible to all of the citizens using it. That, ultimately, is the goal of this funding, which comes from the provincial government’s pledge to turn over gas tax dollars to municipalities. The first phase of the funding is for transportation improvements. Te d Galinis, APTA’s general manager, had an encouraging response to the funding when he told everyone on hand at the announcement that flag bus service will increase and other routes will be expanded. Again, these steps need to be taken in the here and now while APTA has sole authority over its own domain. It will be much tougher to expand local service once the system is in the hands of a regional authority, whatever shape that administration may take when implemented. As Ajax Mayor Steve Parish pointed out, provincial funding such as this is crucial to improving transit because operating funds can’t only be found in the fare box. Municipal transit systems are money-making operations. Ta king that a step further, to maintain or increase transit ridership, fares need to be kept to a reasonable cost or they risk pushing people away altogether. The government recognizes the need to promote transit for the good of our communities and now is showing it can put its money where its ideals are. Dialysis allows man to enjoy life To the editor: Re: ‘Internet site a lifesaver for Pickering man’, Dec. 1. Although I am happy to learn that Mike Fogelman has received a donated kidney, I am disturbed about his com- ment regarding peritoneal dialysis. He states that, for months before his transplant, his dialysis treatments were both “de- meaning and dehumanising.” I have been a peritoneal dialysis patient for nearly three years, and my experience has been just the opposite. My wife and I have been able to travel overseas four times, have taken a 10-day cruise, and have spent several days in Victoria, B.C., all while on dialysis. In short, I can carry on almost as any normal person, within reason, and I thank my lucky stars, as well as the wonderful staff at the dialysis clinic in Whitby, for being able to carry on and enjoy life. After all, what is the alternative if a transplant is not readily available? Tom H.

O ne would find it difficult to argue with Dave Ryan. The Pickering mayor recently referred to the outpouring of generos- ity from Pickering and the world as the good news to come out of the devasta- tion caused by the tsunamis in south- east Asia Dec. 26. Here in Pickering, the community mobilized quickly once the effects of the earthquake and tsunami became clear. The Durham Tamil Association began collecting donations for Sri Lanka the day after the tragedy. Meanwhile Pickering councillors Maurice Brenner and Bill McLean had brought together a working group of local community and business leaders by the end of that first week to organize a Durham-wide relief effort. And Pickering was quick to put Red Cross donation boxes in City buildings to make it easy for residents to give. The people of Pickering, just like oth- ers around the world, have opened their hearts and wallets to help people on the other side of the world. After reading about the suffering in newspapers or seeing it on TV, they feel a connection to the victims. Hearing that Canadians have donat- ed more than $100 million, that a local resident took up the cause and called on his neighbours to donate to the re- lief effort, that children have donated money from their piggy banks or their Christmas money, warms the heart. As did seeing how happy members of the Devi Mandir Hindu Temple in Picker- ing were to give more than $8,500 do- nations to Gordon Dick from the Red Cross. At the same time, people have begun to wonder what about local charities. Are they going to suffer because Pick- ering residents are giving to tsunami relief? Debbie McGarry of the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation said they are not seeing an impact and that usually in situations such as these, charities might experience a short blip or a decrease in donations. “People truly are generous and they see this as an emergency appeal on top of their regular donations,” she said. The United Way of Ajax-Pickering- Uxbridge is also pleased to see the com- munity coming forward with donations for the relief effort and adds only time will tell if it has an impact on its fund- raising efforts. The people of Pickering have been there for the United Way, Ajax and Pick- ering hospital, Santa Claus Fund, and numerous other community agencies and now they are showing their gen- erosity to the people of southeast Asia. There is no reason to believe they won’t be there in the future — no matter what they are called on to support. Danielle Milley’s column ap- pears every third Friday. E-mail dmilley@durhamregion.com.

Region predicting 2004 surplus DURHAM — The Region’s depart- ments are balancing out to a $2.9- million surplus for 2004, a report to Wednesday’s finance and administration committee said. As of Nov. 30 last year, the police had a $2.8-million surplus, health a $1.8-million surplus, social services a $350,000 surplus and planning a $100,000 surplus. On the deficit side were works at $1.2 million and $929,000 for commitments, such as a conserva- tion purchase in Ajax and computer replacements. Budget meetings start Feb. 2 DURHAM — The Region will begin picking apart its 2005 budget Feb. 2 with the roads servicing and financing study. Wa ter and sewer will come March 2, followed by planning, works, health and social services between March 8 and 10. Other departments and agen- cies and the police budgets will be reviewed March 15 to 17. The long-term property tax plan will come March 16. A final review, plus provincial social assistance and housing numbers, will be on April 6, and the official budget will be approved by regional council on April 13. The Region has set a 6-per cent tax increase guideline for 2005. Region to donate up to $40,000 in relief DURHAM — The Region waived its no-grant policy to donate funds to a Durham-wide tsunami relief fund. Pickering Councillor Bill McLean, one of two organizers of the community fund, asked the Region at Wednesday’s finance meeting to match donations from local municipalities. The committee agreed to waive the policy and donate a maximum of $40,000, or $5,000 per municipality.

(Please provide identification) PRIZE VALID UNTIL THURS., JAN. 20, 2005BASKINROBBINS By Joshua May Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — Two News Advertiser couriers are doing their part to help with tsunami relief efforts. Kaitlyn Flemming, 11, and Troy Heron, 8, have vowed to donate collection money this month to the Canadian Red Cross in the hopes of aiding those in dire need on the other side of the world. “It feels good to know you’re helping others,” said Kaitlyn, who will be turning over all her pro- ceeds. “I hope this money helps (the people of South Asia) to get the food and shelter they need.” A student at Glengrove Public School in Pickering, Kaitlyn is en- thusiastic to donate the earnings. She feels fortunate none of her family was there when it hap- pened, although her cousin once taught in Thailand. “It makes me feel good to know she’s all right,” said Kaitlyn. “But a lot of people are still in trouble (in South Asia) and they need our help.” Troy and his family know strug- gle all too well. At the tender age of two, the strong-willed youngster managed to fight off lymphoma cancer, en- during two years of chemotherapy. Now, this student of St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School in Ajax has set his sights upon lending any support he can to the victims of the recent disaster. Half of his col- lection money will be going to the relief. “He’s always been a sensitive boy,” said Melanie Heron, Troy’s mother. “He knows what it is to suffer unduly and he feels bad for anyone that must go through pain.” The charitable youngster origi- nally learned of the disaster during class discussions in school. Upon discovering that more than 50,000 youths were orphaned, Troy was convinced he had to help. “I felt bad when I heard a lot of kids had lost their parents,” said Troy. “I like to help people and I just wanted to make sure they have the food and clothes they need.” An inspiration to his entire fam- ily, Troy continues to astound his mom with his compassion. “He amazes me everyday,” said Ms. Heron. “(Even when he had cancer) he was strong when we were weak. He can’t even watch a public telethon without feeling sympathetic.” Troy’s parents have vowed to match every dollar he donates. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JANUARY 14, 2005 PAGE 11 A/P PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING • WE’VE GOT YOUR SIZE Sizes 4-15 Widths AA-EEE For Best Selection in Quality & Style.

But window condensation may be just a symptom of a different kind of problem. There’s no doubt that windows with air leaks waste energy and make it nearly impossible to keep your home comfortable. But condensation can still collect on your windows even if you’ve bought the most efficient units on the market. Condensation may mean that the windows were improperly sealed and insulated when they were installed. You may need to adjust your humidifier to keep the air in your house at a steady relative humidity of 35 to 55 percent. Or it may be as simple as getting into the habit of using the exhaust fans in your kitchen and bathroom or making sure that the fans are vented properly. W hatever the cause, it is important to face your home’s condensation problems head-on. Condensation is a sure sign that you are spending more than you should on home heating and cooling. And moist air feels colder than properly humidified air, making it a lot more difficult to be comfortable during the long winter months. To omuch humidity can also make your home a breeding ground for fungus, mould and dust mites that can cause asthma, allergies and other health problems. The good news is that unbiased, professional advice is just a phone call or a quick Web search away.

NO GST * SAVE 50%UP TO By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — Splurging on Christmas gifts may have seemed like a good idea in December, but as January and February credit card bills begin to roll in, many people find themselves crushed be- neath the weight of post-holi- day debt. While many companies prom- ise to relieve the pressure through instant loans or payday advances, the Ministry of Consumer and Business Services recently warned consumers to be wary of those de- manding advance fees, or making blanket promises to improve credit ratings. “If someone is saying they can get you money, but you have to pay a big up-front cost first, that should make you think twice,” said San- dra Sherk, executive direc- tor of the Credit Counselling Service of Durham Region (CCSDR). “A bank or credit union wouldn’t make you do that, so why would anyone else?” According to the Ministry, it is illegal for companies to charge a fee before providing a loan or improving a credit rating. “More than 1,500 charges have been laid against fly-by- night loan brokers and credit repair- ers who take con- sumers’ money but fail to deliver on their promise,” said Minister of Consumer and Business Services Jim Watson, in a recent statement. “We want people to learn to pro- tect themselves before cash changes hands.” Ms. Sherk says the very first step for people facing debt should be a visit to a credit counselling service that be- longs to the Ontario Asso- ciation of Credit Counselling Services, as the CCSDR does. A detailed financial assess- ment should be completed, to take stock of income, cred- itors and living expenses. “A lot of people have never pulled the numbers together. They might think things are hopeless, before they realize they’re overspending in areas like clothing or entertain- ment,” she said. “If they can make cuts in flexible areas, that’s the best way to get back on track.” If the situation can’t be helped by cutting back on movies and coffee, a trip to a bank or credit union should come next. Consolidation loans that allow customers to make one payment, with less interest, are often a solution for those in moderate debt. According to Colin Boul- ton, a bankruptcy trustee with Oshawa-based Man- delbaum Spegel Inc., those with insurmountable debt, might need to take further steps and look into consumer proposals and bankruptcy. “Consumer proposals can be a good option, because they let people pay back a percentage of the debt, in- stead of the whole thing, with interest-free loans that are part of a government pro- gram,” he explained. “Declar- ing bankruptcy should be the last step, after they try every- thing else.” Mr. Boulton added that free initial consultations are an industry standard, and echoed the minister’s warning to be suspicious of companies charging high up-front fees and making big promises. While Ms. Sherk said there is no foolproof way to find a trustworthy broker or coun- sellor, she suggested people rely on word-of-mouth rec- ommendations, bank refer- rals and simple gut instinct. “There is no such thing as free money, so if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.” For more information, contact the Ministry of Con- sumer and Business Services at 416-326-8800 or 1-800- 889-9768.

By James McMurtrie Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — If a man’s body is his temple, then a man’s truck must be his guiding light. For Ajax resident Cec Turner, that light wasn’t shining as bright recently. Not long ago, Mr. Turner dropped off his beloved 1988 Dodge pickup truck at a local service centre for a pre-win- ter checkup. After picking up his ve- hicle, he drove it several blocks away to another location for some odds and ends before returning to the local legion branch for lunch. But the taste loom- ing in Mr. Turner’s mouth soon turned sour. After leaving the legion he noticed his truck was missing its front right hub- cap. It had fallen off somewhere along his journey. “I panicked because this particular hubcap was an expensive one... ap- proximately $70,” said Mr. Turner. He returned to the service centre where they offered help in trying to find a replacement, but a defeated Mr. Turner limped off in his truck. “I then returned home and got the shock of my life when, on my front lawn, near our front door, was the hubcap that had been lost and on the underside of it was black marking showing my name, address and telephone number.” After thinking about it and talking with his wife, Mr. Turner remembered that a similar instance had happened about eight years earlier and that the dealership had labelled the inside of the hubcap (a tip he hopes other read- ers will adopt). Mr. Turner hopes his anonymous Good Neighbour has an equally great start to the new year. Good Neighbours is a new feature of the News Advertiser.

A/P PAGE 4 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JANUARY 14, 2005 durhamregion.com durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JANUARY 14, 2005 PAGE 5 A/P Alternative rockers hoping to make it big By Joshua May Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — They may be Preconfused, but their mindset sure is focused. As the notoriety of the Durham Region music scene continues to expand due in part to the success of groups such as Sum 41 and Not By Choice, another youth-based musical troop is making its presence felt — Preconfused. Having played such ven- ues as the Dungeon in Os- hawa and a recent Winterfest event at the Pickering Civic Centre, these 16-year-old St. Mary Catholic Second- ary School prodigies, Joseph DeBenedictis (lead guitarist), Rob Noehammer (guitarist), and Justin Moy (drummer), are determined to make a name for themselves. “We want people to know who we are,” said Noeham- mer. “What we do is go out there, rock and have fun and we hope our audience picks up on that.” Forming just over a year ago, the Pickering trio has composed 13 alternative rock songs, influenced by Green Day, Switchfoot and U2. Although their first studio track is ‘Can’t Remember,’ DeBenedictis assures it’s a song he’ll never forget. “Recording our first single at a studio in downtown To- ronto was probably my most memorable experience,” he said. “It was great seeing how things worked and watching our music come together. I’ll never forget that.” The band proved recently its not all fun and games. In wake of the tragic tsunamis in southern Asia, Preconfused took time on New Year’s Eve to throw a Worldvision re- lief effort concert out front of DeBenedictis’s Picker- ing residence. Passing a hat around the front lawn, more than 60 neighbours and fans alike managed to pledge more than $100 while the band performed a number of songs, including a track they specifically dedicated to the victims, ‘Fly Away’. “That was by far our best gig ever,” said DeBenedictis. “The crowd was really into (Preconfused) that night and it really began to show in our music. Everyone had a great time and all in the name of a good cause.” Despite the occasional bickering and disagreement, the band members swear they are the best of friends. Whether it spending their days in class or nights com- posing fresh, new songs, De- Benedictis, Noehammer and Moy remain confident. “If we can maintain the effort we put into both our schoolwork and music to this point, I can see no reason why we wouldn’t be a suc- cess in the future,” said De- Benedictis. The trio is currently in preparations for a perfor- mance at the Pickering Pub- lic Library on Feb. 5. A/P PAGE 20 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JANUARY 14, 2005 durhamregion.com This Sunday 1 Day Only Sun.

A new 15-story condomini- um in Pickering has a prime location in the heart of the city center and designs that will appeal to people who enjoy special, upscale living. With Highway 401 and the GO station practically at its doorstep, the 131 unit Odyssey is ideal for com- muters or people who appre- ciate having numerous amenities within walking distance of home. The building to be situated on the corners of Diefenbaker and Valley Farm Road, off Pickering Parkway, is steps away from the city’s 250,000 square foot recre- ation complex, adjacent to the central library and Pickering City Hall, and a short stroll to Pickering To wn Center shopping mall. The project is the latest offering from the Rockport Group, which has a 40-year history in Pickering and recently built the neighbor- ing Serenade town home development. Rockport president, Jack Winberg says while Serenade was geared to young profes- sionals, young families and first time buyers, Odyssey will appeal to move down buyers and young profession- als looking for upscale suites. “We have predominantly two bedroom and one bed- room plus den models,” says Winberg. “This is for the suburban market, people who like space and are mov- ing from generously sized homes who don’t want to sacrifice everything they had.” He says that the Pickering market has matured and anticipates buyers will include those who live in the area now who are looking to downsize, as well as people who previously lived there and are moving back to be closer to their grandchildren. “When you age and your kids are gone, you want something fresh and new to go into the next chapter of your life”, says Winberg. “We learned a lot about this (empty nester) market from Reflections on Bogart Pond”, a condo project Rockport built in Newmarket. Winberg says part of what was learned from that project was that buyers want well- designed living and kitchen areas and “wonderful bath- rooms.” The Odyssey suites range from 700 to 1850 square feet in size and are priced from $189,900 to $459,900. All units come with one or two patios, balconies and terraces. The majority of units will have 8’6” ceilings, except for penthouses and ground floor suites, which will have 9 to 10 foot ceilings. Kitchens in the suites come with break- fast bars, granite counter- tops, double sinks and veg- etable sprayers. Master bedrooms feature soaker tubs and some units have separate shower stalls. There is a wide range of floor plans to choose from, including standard suites, plus upgraded club suites and penthouses. Suites on the ninth floor and above will have views of Lake Ontario to the south. The exterior of the build- ing will be precast concrete and clay brick, and the lobby will be appointed with columns, coffered ceilings, marble inlaid floors, chande- liers, upscale furniture and artwork. And the building’s “point block tower” design means there are no long corridors. All suites will be within steps of the elevator. “For residents, it allows easy access to elevators, and for a builder this is a very efficient design because you’re not building a lot of floor space your not selling. It maximizes the living space”, says Winberg. The Odyssey amenities include a party room, bil- liards room, and exercise room. The project opened last October and the building has been remarkably well received by the market. The sales office has several room vignettes. The office is located on Pickering Par kway at Valley Farm Rd. Hours are Monday to Wednesday 1pm-7pm, Thursdays by appointment, Closed Fridays, and Saturday/Sunday/Holidays Noon to 5pm.

Even without four of their key players in the lineup, the sec- ond-place Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cougars were able to put a lid on the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Mon- archs 4-2 in Lake Ontario Sec- ondary School Athletics (LOSSA) action at the Ajax Community Centre. Cougars’ coach Jon Di Anni praised his troops following the squad’s win over the St. Mary juggernaut, who came into the game in first place. “We came out short-handed but we came out ready to play. The few guys came together and played excellent. I’m really proud of what we did today,” said Di Anni. After a slow start and a score- less first period, both teams came back in the second with re- newed intensity and were able to put some numbers on the score- board. But a strong final period by the Cougars was too much for the Monarchs, and Notre Dame took the all-important victory. The majority of the first pe- riod was played in the Cougars’ zone with St. Mary carrying the play. But Cougars goalie Ryan Boucher held the game scoreless and kept the struggling Cougars in the game. “I just stayed focused because I know that we are usually slow starters,” said Boucher. “I knew if I could keep us in the game, we’d come back and pull through for sure.” The beginning of the second period mirrored the first as the Monarchs’ strong defence denied Cougars any shots to their goal for the first five minutes. Then Monarchs’ forward Kyle Wetering broke through to score the first goal. After the deadlock was bro- ken, the Cougars put their game into high gear and answered with two goals from Ryan Carey to push them into a 2-1 lead at the second-period intermission. In the third, the short-handed Cougars showed no sign of fa- tigue as they battled the Mon- archs’ final attempts. After nearly 12 minutes of scoreless play Cou- gars’ Chad Gaudet broke away and assisted on teammate Kyle G emon’s marker to give Notre Dame a 3-1 advantage. With two minutes remaining, Monarchs’ Jonathan Willis fired a backhand and put St. Mary back within a goal. But, it was too little too late for St. Mary as Notre Dame’s Carey was able to slide in one last goal before the buzzer to seal the victory. The Cougars’ win pushes their team into first place in the West Division as they head into the playoffs. Both teams now move on to separate brackets and will have to persevere through three playoff rounds before having any thoughts of meeting again in the finals. The LOSSA playoffs begin in early February.

Two athletes to use meet as springboard to Eastern Canadians By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — This weekend’s senior provincial swimming cham- pionship at the University of To- ronto will represent a watershed opportunity for the Pickering Swim Club’s Adam Gomba. The 13-year-old freestyle special- ist will aim to put up at least one solid effort at the three-day provin- cial meet, Jan. 14 to 16, that will allow him to qualify for next month’s Eastern National Championships in Brantford. That’s why he’s prepared to put all his energies into meet- ing the qualifying standard that will push him on to the national meet. “I definitely want to make East- erns in the 200-metre freestyle and in the 400m free. I’m somewhat confident I’ll be able to do it — the 200m, for sure; the 400m? Not so much,” says Gomba, a Grade 8 stu- dent at E.B. Phin Public School. And, the reason he’s brimming with confidence to qualify for East- ern Nationals in at least one event is the work he put forth over the Christmas holidays. During that time, Gomba was part of a training camp that kept him in the water for much of the holiday, putting his best stroke forward. “I could tell that there was a lot of improvement,” says Gomba, a four- year swimmer with the PSC, refer- ring to his work. Moreover, Gomba was agonizing- ly close to making the Eastern Cana- dian time standard while competing at the Youth Cup meet in Etobicoke last month. There, he missed the qualifying time in the 200m free by a mere two-tenths of a second. Gomba will be part of the larg- est ever PSC contingent to qualify for the senior provincials. He’ll be joined by Becky Acheson, Lisa Bar- bieri, Jeff Cernele, Erin Gordon, Alex Griffith, Kaleigh Heard, Laura Nich- olls and Jessica Ward. “It’s probably the most kids we’ve had qualify for provincials in over a decade,” notes PSC head coach Lucie Hewitt-Henderson. “We have a really good group of kids coming up who are really committed to the sport. They really like the sport. It’s a priority for them and, as a result, they become more successful.” Hewitt-Henderson notes while she expects good results from all eight swimmers, she’s particularly concerned with Gomba and Griffith, pushing them on to the Eastern Ca- nadians. The other six swimmers at senior provincials have already met the qualifying standards for the Eastern Canadians. “They’re rested and ready to go,” says Hewitt-Henderson of the two swimmers. “They’re really making the effort to make Easterns. Our em- phasis is on Alex and Adam. If they do things right, they’ll be there.” But, Hewitt-Henderson says the other six athletes shouldn’t become complacent at the provincials. “They have to work on strategies and tactics at the meet — to have the splits (times) unfold as we want them to unfold.” Pickering club sends biggest ever contingent to senior provincials A.J.

Jenny MacLean to join hockey program at Quinnipiac By Paul Futhey Staff Writer DURHAM — Starting in the fall, the next four seasons will see Jenny Ma- cLean and her chosen hockey program growing together. MacLean, the captain of the Durham West Jr. Lightning AA intermediate hock- ey team and senior at Paul Dwyer High School, has accepted a full scholarship to Quinnipiac University in Connecticut. The centre joins a Bobcats’ program that will enter its fifth year of NCAA Division I play. “It’s such a load off your shoulders,” she explains of securing her post-second- ary destination. “You can start preparing yourself for next year and not have to worry about where you’re going.” The Oshawa resident says she had always planned on signing early (by a mid-November deadline) to avoid any uncertainty. Among the offers she turned down were from nearby University of Connecticut, Ohio State and Mercyhurst (Pennsylvania). Her choice of school turned out to be part of a last-minute decision but one that sat very well with the 17-year-old once she paid a visit in early November. Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh- pe-ack) is located in Hamden, about 10 kilometres north of New Haven. “I knew that one school would feel right,” she says. “The size of the school was a factor for me. The campus is abso- lutely beautiful.” Michael Barrett, the Bobcats’ head coach, saw MacLean play in a tourna- ment in Stoney Creek in September and came away impressed with her offensive awareness and “tremendous” puckhan- dling skills. He is confident of a promising future for the women’s hockey program, cit- ing the number and quality of recruits already signed for next season. MacLean is part of what he sees as a “benchmark class” that includes Lightning teammates Elyse Cole (Belleville) and Trudy Reyns (Port Hope). MacLean’s first season will also be the first for the Bobcats in the highly com- petitive 12-team ECAC. The Bobcats will trade shots with the likes of Ivy League schools like Harvard, Brown, Princeton and Yale, all currently nationally ranked squads. It will be a challenge, Barrett says, but adds the team won’t be a push- over. “They’re going to know they’re getting a team that’s different than the one that ended the season last year,” he says. It appears to be an exciting time for Bobcats’ women’s hockey. The school also has a brand new 157,000 square foot facility scheduled to open in January, 2007 — in the midst of what would be MacLean’s sophomore year. In the meantime, back in Canada, Ma- cLean will suit up for the Team Ontario A squad at the Under-18 Canadian Cham- pionships in British Columbia starting Jan. 26. MacLean’s team will be in a division with squads from Manitoba, the Atlantic region and the host province. As for the Lightning, after enjoying a nine-game undefeated streak, the team lost four of six. Sporting an 11-6-1 re- cord, the Lightning is in fifth place in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League, just two points out of first. Ken Mulgrew, her coach with the Lightning, says she’s growing in her role as a team leader. “It’s tough to be a captain of a team with this many good players,” he com- ments, noting MacLean was voted by her teammates to wear the C. Prior to joining the Durham West or- ganization in her major peewee year, she played boys’ hockey in Oshawa, the final two at the AAA level, and occasionally had to endure opposition taunts. “It was hard,” she admits. “I’m not going to lie. At first it bothered me. Then you just have to laugh at it.” durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JANUARY 14, 2005 PAGE 23 A/P AJAX AZZURRI SOCCER CLUB Come Join the Fun 416-410-2230 Registration for Outdoor Soccer Summer 2005 Registrations being accepted for House League Divisions Dates, Times and Locations: House League Membership Includes House League Membership Fee For more information, please check our web site at www.ajaxazzurrisoccer.com Saturday, January 15 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at McLean Community Centre, Room #1 Saturday, February 05 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Ajax Community Centre, Admirals Room Sunday, February 20 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at McLean Community Centre, Room #1 Saturday, March 05 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Ajax Community Centre, Admirals Room Saturday, March 26 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at McLean Community Centre, Room #1 Saturday, April 09 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at McLean Community Centre, Room #1 Saturday, April 23 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Ajax Community Centre, Admirals Room • Twelve season games; • Mid-season tournament; • Cup fi nals; • Uniform (Includes shirt, shorts and socks); • Individual Trophy presented at Cup Day; and • Individual and team photographs.

Entered in the ‘AAA’ division, the ‘A A’ Knights faced a challenging field of teams, including the Leaside Kings in the final. Tied at 2-2 at the end of regulation time, the cham- pionship game went to overtime, where at the 1:30 mark of the extra frame, Ajax’s Craig McDonald pot- ted the winner. It was the Knights juveniles first Silver Stick victory since 1985-86 — the year most of the players on the team were born. Fa cing the Mississauga Hornets in the semifinal, the Knights advance to the final with a 4-3 victory. The Ajacians stormed out to an early 4-1 lead and held on for the win. The Knights posted a 2-1 record in round-robin play, defeating the Scarborough Young Bruins 5-1 and the Leaside Kings 4-2, before drop- ping a 5-2 decision to the Hornets. Along with McDonald, forwards Steve Balvers, Dave Dwight, John Foster, Ryan Gregorack, Sean Men- sour, Willie Neadles, Josh O’Dea, Alex Paddon and Andrew Sawyer all figured on the scoresheet. The defence of Mike Baker, Kevin Bandola, Derek Kelloway, Kyle Tate and Jason Winder shut down op- position scoring. Goaltenders Dan Ta vares and Bryan Eustace were the key to the title, the team says. In- jured player Ryan Brogan was on the bench helping coaches Gord Blair, Peter Tippett, Andrew Rich- ards and Rick Watts.
