Pickering schools
do what they can
to aid tsunami relief
By Mike Ruta
Staff Writer
DURHAM — Like most Dur-
ham students, Raeesah Rizwan
switched on the television soon
after the winter break began.
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. On Jan. 4 alone, stu-

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

dents and staff raised $1,300
for UNICEF. 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.

DURHAM — Prem Nadara-
jah, owner of Bob Caygeon’s
Bar and Grill, with the help of
the Pickering Rotary Club, is
holding a fundraising event to-
morrow to aid victims of the
tsunami tragedy in southeast
Asia.
With fun-filled activities
such as magicians and clowns
planned for between 1 and 5
p.m., and live entertainment
and a buffet from 7 p.m. to 1
a.m., organizers welcome all
ages. There is no admission
cost, but the buffet is $20, and
a cash bar will be available. Do-
nations will also be collected
for the Durham Community
Ts unami Relief effort. All events
are being held at the Pickering
Recreation Complex, 1867 Val-
ley Farm Rd.
Every dollar raised through
Durham Community Tsunami
Relief will be donated to the
Red Cross-Tsunami Relief Fund.
The Pickering Rotary Club is
administering the account and
will issue tax receipts for dona-
tions of more than $10 before
turning the funds over to the
Red Cross.

and violent offenders.
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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

If your home’s windows are covered
with frost or ice or are dripping with
condensation, it’s a sure sign that
something is wrong with your house. 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. Natural
Resources Canada (NRCan) manages the
EnerGuide for Houses service (EGH) to
prov ide a wealth of unbiased, expert
advice on every aspect of home energy
efficiency.This advice comes from a
trained EGH energy advisor who will
address any condensation problems by

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,

sumer and Business Services
at 416-326-8800 or 1-800-
889-9768.

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. If you have a story

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 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.

Hockey Cougars claw past St. Mary Monarchs
Notre Dame vaults
into first place as
teams await playoffs
By Shannon Boodram
Special to the News Advertiser
DURHAM — The two top-
ranked teams in Durham Re-
gion senior boys’ hockey West
Division squared off in their final
regular-season meeting in Ajax
on Wednesday afternoon and
traded places in the standings.
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

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

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.”

In Loving memory of Kathleen
Kellachan and Christine Harrington,
who both passed on January 14, 2004
This month comes with sad regret
That brings a day we can never forget
Yo u passed away without a goodbye
But our memories of you will never die
We miss you more than anyone knows
As each day passes the emptiness grows
The tears we shed we can wipe away
But the constant ache in our heats will
always stay
You will always be in our hearts, we miss you
so much, it's hard to believe that a year has
passed since we lost you both, I close my eyes
and see your beautiful smiling faces, and won-
der why you had to go, then I realize that you
are now two beautiful smiling Angels who are
looking down on us.
I love you both so much.
Your loving sister Helen (Auntie Helen)
also missed and loved by Barry (Uncle
Barry) nephews and cousins Drew and
Adam.

AJAX — The Ajax Knights Eagle
Ridge Roofing/MacMillan’s Fund
Raising juvenile ‘AA’ rep hockey
team faced down, and beat, top
teams at the 32nd annual North
American Silver Stick Tournament
in Mooretown, Ontario.
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.
