Brock-Uxbridge trustee Gord Baxter and Pickering trustee Paul Crawford voted against Durham District School Board’s $525.08 million operating and $33.8 mil- lion capital budgets during a spe- cial board meeting Aug. 24. It fea- tures almost 300 new staff and a variety of maintenance projects. “It’s not a bad-news budget,” said Trustee Baxter after the meet- ing. “The budget is on the right track, it’s just I would like further information and time to have gone through the budget to have the answers to some of the questions I have,” said Mr. Baxter. During a finance meeting prior to the budget’s passing, Mr. Baxter fought for and lost requests for the board to pay for regular volun- teer criminal background checks and for window screens at Brock High School. He also asked for last year’s final spending figures not included in the budget pack- age and for more money in school block budgets. The block budget request was deferred to a committee meeting in November so trustees could re- view the process. 35.2//-3 s 7).$/73 s 2//&).' 905-686-2445 Visit our showroom 239 Station St., Ajax Manufacturer of SUNROOMS & WINDOWS CELEBRATING 100 YE ARS WITH A SPECIAL YOUNG FRIEND Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Eva Kidd celebrated her 100th birthday at Bay Ridges Long Term Care Centre this week.

Coalition intends to raise awareness of growing problem By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — Ontarians need to think of the future of energy and plan for more capacity now, before it’s too late. That’s the message of a coalition of Durham business, government and university officials who on Wednesday launched the Durham Strategic Energy Alliance (DSEA). “We believe that there’s a tre- mendous energy challenge,” said DSEA board member Richard Marceau, provost at the University of Ontario Institute of Technol- ogy. “We believe that some people ought to be doing something about it.” Skyrocketing fossil fuel prices, increasing demand from grow- ing economies, the need for more power in Ontario and other fac- tors mean the province risks los- ing its place as the leader of the Canadian economy, he says. Since the process of building a nuclear power station, for example, takes many years, Mr. Marceau says the time to begin acting is right away. He says the impact on society as we know it in as little as 20 years would be profound if new supplies of power are not brought online before the problem becomes a cri- sis. “Quality of life will go down,” he says. “A lot of companies will move out and a lot of companies won’t locate in Ontario. Ontario could lose its automotive industry.” Mr. Marceau says the problem is exacerbated because the histori- cal reliance on fossil fuels cannot continue forever, predicting their demise in 100 years or less. How they will be replaced is an open book at this point.

Today’s installment is the last of a summer-long series by reporter Mike Ruta and photographer Walter Passarella retelling the stories they’ve heard and the things they’ve seen. By Mike Ruta Staff Writer IQALUIT — Niall Stocking almost didn’t make it out of Iqaluit. The Uxbridge youth made such a good impression when he billeted with a local family that the mom wanted to adopt him — by force, if necessary. “He’s mine now,” Pat Angnakak joked at a farewell dinner held to thank the residents who took in 15 Durham soccer players, aged 14 to 17, in town for a May soccer tourna- ment. “It’s been really a lot of fun,” she says. “They see things differently from us. We take it for granted. For example, the question here might be, ‘how old were you when your parents got married’?” That question might offend in the south, and isn’t usually asked as it’s customary for couples to get married and then start a fam- ily. Not so in the north, says Ms. Angnakak, where couples more often live together common-law for a time, even have a child or more, and then perhaps decide to get married. Sunderland resident Justin Emer- son, who billeted with the Okpik family, was asked the question by their son Keith. “Before I was born!” an incredulous Justin responded. Kathy Okpik says her son and Justin got along well and plan to keep in touch. In fact, Keith might make a trip to visit this summer. As in other billet homes, she received gifts from Justin, including pure maple syrup, de- scribing him as “polite and well-mannered. “It was great to find out how much they have in common. They’re both into sports, playing games, staying up late.” Keith says they spent a lot of their time hanging out and watching movies. For his part, Justin was surprised Keith knew so much English, as he expected conversation to be more difficult. The students’ highlight will likely be a three-hour trip by snowmobile, with Inuit guides, out of town, across the frozen Koojes- se Inlet and onto the hilly, snow-covered rocky shoreline. The students rode in sleds, qamatiks, pulled by the snow machines. At the lunch stop, they had an opportunity to take a short spin on a snowmobile and crazy carpet down a big hill. After bagged sand- wich lunches were produced, the guides surprised by bringing out a leg of caribou, raw and frozen, for the students to sample. Several gave it a try. The day was sunny and the mood light, with the senior Durham boys’ team coach, Nixon Bernardino, espe- cially buoyant out on the land, experiencing the real north. “It’s great,” Ajax student Mike Harrison said. “So far this part has been the best, going on the land trip, riding snowmobiles is great and all the mountains and the scen- ery.” Mike said he was surprised at how many white people there are in Iqaluit. And the weather wasn’t as bad as he expected. “I thought it would be much colder, -20 C and stuff,” he said. “It’s only the wind chill that’s bad.” Mike said he could see himself living in the north, if only to give it a try, and that he enjoyed the soccer tournament. The students, on a junior and senior Dur- ham team for the tourney, had barely ar- rived in Iqaluit when it was game time. Five Iqaluit squads, two junior and three senior, opposed them. Three hours after touching down, the juniors cruised to a win in their opening game at Inuksuk High School. They would go on to win gold two days later. The seniors had a tougher trip to the finals, punctuated by an exciting contest against a fast and talented Iqaluit team in a very noisy gym full of fans cheering for the home squad. Down and apparently out late in the championship game, trailing 6-2, the Durham squad launched a remarkable comeback, tying the game with a minute or two left, only to lose on penalty kicks in overtime. At Jason Fleming’s billet house one night, buffalo was a menu surprise. “We pretty much have had the food I would get at home, bacon and eggs, but ac- tually we had a bison roast the other night,” the Pickering student said. “They told us it was roast beef and afterwards they told us it was bison. It was good.” He was having a great time but said while he would visit, he couldn’t see himself living in Iqaluit. “I don’t like the cold too much,” Jason said. “Plus, it’s a small town.” Niall, dubbed ‘farm boy’ by his team- mates, said the cold didn’t bother him much because he was used to it, living on a farm near Zephyr. He even fearlessly bit into a slice of the raw caribou the guides provid- ed. “It’s a good experience; it’s a lot differ- ent from Ontario, Pickering, Ajax, Uxbridge, around there,” he said. “All this. No trees. Lots of snow still. It’d be interesting to live up here for a couple of years just to get used to it. It’d be fun. I’d definitely do it. newsdurhamregion.com searchkeyword:nunavut2005 PHOTOS: Top from left, teenage boys from the north, Keith Okpak, and the south, Michael Harrison, say goodbye in ‘teen’ language.

No complaints for expulsion policy Local school board has positive response to Safe Schools Act By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — While the To- ronto District School Board deals with complaints over its implementation of the Safe Schools Act, Durham is a differ- ent matter altogether. Trustee Susan Shetler, the Durham District School Board’s vice-chairwoman, said she is not aware of any complaints made against the board for its implementation of the Safe Schools Act, which requires mandatory expulsions for weapons, assault, drugs and other major offenses. Complaints have not been re- ceived at the board level either, said Wendy Parke, the Durham District School Board’s acting communications manager. The Durham Catholic District School Board said no officials were available to comment. “Our experience has been good,” said Trustee Shetler. “If there were any issues, I’m sure I’d be aware of them.” The Human Rights Commis- sion recently launched com- plaints against the Toronto Dis- trict School Board and Ministry of Education, saying the act has an unbalanced impact on racial and disabled students. Ms. Shetler said Durham par- ents have been happy with the Safe Schools Act, but said To- ronto has different concerns. “Where they are, they have a lot of diversity issues,” she said. “I’m not surprised if there was anything happening, it would be in the Toronto board be- cause of the diversity.” Although there have been complaints made from people at other boards, it’s unknown if the Human Rights Commission has received any for Durham. “The problem is when com- plaints are filed, they are con- fidential,” said Afroze Edwards, senior communications officer for the commission. The commission discovered the complaints through consul- tation meetings held over the last few years. Issues brought up included racial profiling and unfairness against those with disabilities and unable to control their be- haviour. For Durham’s public board, exceptions are made for spe- cial-needs students who do not have the ability to control their actions. The board also has a ‘Return Ticket Program,’ which gives ex- pelled students an opportunity to re-enter school and includes academic and counselling pro- ponents. Ms. Shetler said safety has al- ways been a top priority for the Durham board and following the Safe Schools Act was a nat- ural evolution. She added the board has a safe schools com- mittee, which meets quarterly and audits and revises policies, among other functions. The Ministry of Education is holding public hearings across the province this fall about the act.

The DSEA intends to heighten awareness of the problem and fa- cilitate energy initiatives in Dur- ham, acting as an example to other jurisdictions. It has already ap- proached people in and outside of government about the issue, says Mr. Marceau. Among the founding members in the group are Dur- ham Region, along with Clarington, Oshawa, Pickering, W hitby, Ajax, Ontario Power Gen- eration and Enbridge. Regional Chairman Roger An- derson said the DSEA can be of help to residents and businesses in Durham and the whole province. “In Durham Region, like every- where else, energy is a challenge,” he said. “But for Durham Region I think it’s an opportunity for us. We have a great opportunity here. We have two energy-producing plants on each end of the region.” Doug Lindeblom, the Region’s director of economic develop- ment and tourism, likened the ef- fort to increase the public’s energy awareness to the blue box recy- cling campaign. Twenty years ago it never existed, he said, but today virtually every home regularly puts out a box of recyclables. He says the idea for the DSEA came about after representatives from the Region, local municipali- ties and UOIT kept seeing each other as they worked on individual projects and programs. “Everybody kept bumping into each other and what we realized is everybody was trying to accom- plish the same thing,” he said. Owen Schneider, manager of business development with En- bridge, in an interview agreed a mix of energy alternatives, includ- ing natural gas and nuclear power, will make up the capacity of the future. Enbridge became involved in the DSEA because it has been a part of life in the region since its inception, he said. “We feel that natural gas will serve a very important part of the future in Durham,” he said. For more information on the DSEA, visit www.dsea.ca or call 1-877-338-3360. “I’m happy it’s a balanced bud- get, that we’re increasing staff to be with students more, I also like the fact we’re having smaller class- room sizes... and that we’re increas- ing funding for special needs,” said Trustee Baxter. Trustee Crawford, the board’s finance committee chairman, was also pleased with some of the bud- get’s elements. “I liked the fact we have more money for facility main- tenance be- cause I’ve been very concerned about it for a number of years,” said Trustee Crawford. Mainte- nance proj- ects for the coming year include a $90,000 parking lot turn-loop extension for Beaverton Public School, $450,000 for a parking lot replacement at Pickering High School, and $180,000 for Dr. F.J. Donevan. Anderson CVI and R.S. McLaughlin CVI each get $1.3 mil- lion in science lab upgrades. “I voted against it mainly be- cause of the process,” said Trustee Crawford. The two trustees agreed they wanted more time to review the budget. Although it’s usually ready by spring, a draft budget wasn’t pre- sented until Aug. 18 because of de- lays in provincial funding figures. Trustee Crawford said providing more time to review the budget once it was presented in draft is up to the board. “The trustees are satisfied with it and if we wanted more time or something else in it, (staff) would accommodate it,” said Trustee Crawford. Trustee Susan Shetler was among those who supported the budget. She said although it doesn’t provide much wiggle room, she’s happy it includes more teachers and focus on student achievement. “I think this is really a good-news budget,” said Trustee Shetler. Of the new staff provided, 158 are for elementary schools, 125.2 for secondary schools, and 14.1 other employees, such as custodial cleaners, were also added. ✦ DSEA from page 1 Roger Anderson DSEA will assist energy initiatives for Durham Paul Crawford ‘I liked the fact we have more money for facility management.’ PAUL CRAWFORD Re pairs on the way for Pickering High parking lot ✦ Repairs from page 1 Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Members of the private and public sectors came together to launch the Durham Strategic Energy Alliance.

The Durham Region resident wanted to sell her existing house, pay off some debts and use the left- over funds to purchase a new home for her family. She and her husband went to the bank and got a quote for a mortgage. Thinking a better deal could be found elsewhere, the Feeney’s enlisted the help of a mortgage broker. That’s when things got out of control. “If you sign for one bureau, and they send it out to three, how would you feel?” Ms. Feeney said. “It’s sup- posed to be one bureau, one signa- ture.” The broker, the Feeney’s say, was allowed to speak with one financial institution, which in turn would do a credit check. Instead, at least three hits showed up on the couple’s credit history. Ms. Feeney says these unau- thorized checks, during the sum- mer and fall of 2004, knocked the Feeney’s otherwise average credit score down to the point they had to get two separate mortgages -- one worth more than $18,000 that the lender now wants paid in Novem- ber. The Feeney’s case begs an im- portant question: can one be pun- ished for being a smart consumer and shopping around for a good deal on credit and interest rates? The two sides of the issue are sharply divided. “If it’s something you would actu- ally shop for, the scoring algorithm knows how to recognize that,” said Rick Clearly, president of Equifax Canada, one of the largest credit record keeping companies in North America. If, in a 30-day period, a consum- er speaks with four banks about a mortgage, or three dealerships about purchasing a car, only one credit check would be logged on a person’s account, Mr. Cleary said. But if you’re actually applying for credit -- filling out eight different applications for a credit card, hop- ing one comes through, for example -- these inquiries are all reflected on your history, and can affect your score. “Some people think that’s wrong,” Mr. Cleary said. “But our studies empirically show” that that type of behaviour is an indicator of risk. Dan Barnabic, president of the Consumer Federation of Canada (CFC), is fighting for better regula- tion of consumer credit reports and the institutions that access them. “Everything is left up to Equi- fax and TransUnion...to determine and sort out the actual applications for credit from updates and follow- ups,” he said, referring to checks banks can do that do not affect your score. “This has grave consequenc- es and loss to consumers.” Each application for credit knocks your credit score down five to seven points, he said. Mr. Barnabic and the CFC are particularly irate with unauthorized credit checks, like what happened with the Feeney’s. “A ny issuance of a credit report must be accompanied by a signa- ture,” he said. “I find scores of peo- ple in banks, lending agencies who do not know this.” And it raises questions about who exactly can phone up a credit his- tory company such as Equifax and access your information. Mr. Cleary said lenders must be members of Equifax, and as such are governed by credit laws -- such as making sure the lenders have signatures be- fore accessing a file. “We handle millions of transac- tions a month,” he said. “We’re not required by the law to police that.” Mr. Barnabic points to a March 2004 admission by Equifax that around 1,400 customer credit files were accessed by criminals posing as lenders. He wants all credit grantors to be licensed, and has a provincial private member’s bill about to have third reading that would prevent the lowering of credit scores if a consumer applies for credit. But Mr. Cleary maintains that in- stitutions checking your credit his- tory is only 10 per cent of person’s overall credit score and risk. Paying your bills on time, how you use your credit (if you have a $50,000 line of credit and are using $49,000, for example) and the total amount of credit available to you are all impor- tant factors. And many people do not realize that past credit problems -- such as declaring bankruptcy or having collection agencies after you -- stay on your credit file for six years, he added. What this comes down to is a lesson for people to be proactive and do their homework, said San- dra Sherk, executive director of the non-profit Credit Counselling Ser- vices of Durham.

Tr a des group ready to get started this week ‘We’re not required by law to police that.’ DAN BARNABIC P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, AUGUST 28, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Make sure you have proper booster seat They may take great care to make sure their children are safe in virtually all environments, but the statistics say parents, in about four out of five cases, fail miserably when it comes to the proper installation of child car safety seats. And that can prove fatal for a precious loved one in a car accident. In addition, children who are not physically mature enough to sit in seats which are designed for adults, can be placed in harm’s way in the event of a collision. That’s the reason why a new provincial bill, to take effect Thursday, Sept. 1, requires all parents and caregivers to make sure any child under 80 pounds and/or under 4-foot-9 is properly secured in a vehicle booster seat. Just as seatbelts save lives, so too do car booster seats. But they require proper installation if they are to work effectively in an accident. The Durham Regional Police Service holds a monthly car safety seat check. At these events -- there is one today, Sun- day, Aug. 28 at Fraser Ford, at Thornton and Hwy. 2, Oshawa; the next one is set for Sunday, Sept. 11, from noon to 4 p.m. at Royal Woods Ford, 3260 Hwy. 7, Pickering -- proper child safety seat installation is shown to parents and caregivers. Those who show up with improperly installed seats will not be charged. However, they will be given the proper informa- tion which could be critical should they get into an accident while a child is a passenger in their vehicle. Under the new law, there will be a $110 fine and offenders will get two demerit points if a child smaller than the mini- mum as outlined the regulations is stopped in a car and not in a proper booster seat. Booster seats are widely available in the region at major retailers. Make sure you purchase a seat that is appropriate for the size of your child. In addition, the Province will be removing the PST on booster seats which range in price from $30 to as much as $160 for high-end models. Remember, it takes more than just a “Baby on Board” sign to assure your child’s safety. Krosno ‘expressway’ the real concern To the editor: Re: ‘It’s Liverpool raceway’, letter to the editor, Aug. 17. I have no idea how long you have been sitting on this letter or if the person that submitted it has even been down Liv- erpool Road lately, but there is a stop sign at Liverpool and Krosno Boulevard that has been in place for at least the last 10 years. Obviously the person doesn’t stop at it or they would have seen it. Hello. I am more concerned with the continuous use of Krosno as an expressway. There is more speeders on it than on Hwy. 401. Cars pass each other all the time. There is a stop sign at Fanshaw Place that very few seem to stop at, including the ones who should be setting the example, the police. If the law enforcers would like to sit in my driveway with an unmarked car, I would like to offer an open invitation. I’m sure that the revenue obtained from this would exceed the expense.

Corporate funds for schools should be welcomed By allowing corporations to pro- vide funding, some schools have been accused of moving toward privatization. But if businesses want to take some of the burden off taxpayers and provide the textbooks and materials some students are currently deprived of, why not let them? According to recent news, a report from the Elementary Teachers’ Federa- tion of Ontario (ETFO) showed 12 per cent of Ontario’s elementary schools and 28 per cent of secondary schools take advantage of corporate funds. Michael Barrett, Durham District School Board’s chairman, said in an in- terview he personally does not support such close partnerships with business- es. He said schools should be equalizers and by starting down that path, some could offer students more than others. In To ronto, parents line up to get their child in an out-of-district school, Mr. Barrett said, and he doesn’t want that to happen in Durham. It’s certainly easy to understand where Mr. Barrett is coming from -- if one school offers state-of-the-art facilities and another is falling apart, of course it’s in a student’s best interest to attend the better one. But some would disagree Durham schools are on a level playing field right now anyway. A new school could have a state-of-the-art science lab, for instance, while an older one is in massive need of repair. By handling corporate funding prop- erly, it could be the best thing to happen to school boards, students, and taxpay- ers in a long time. If a major business wants to provide books or computer upgrades, it would free up money for school boards to spend on facility im- provements. Businesses could actually become the equalizer for students. But no matter how big the cheque on the table is, some educators will still insist on protecting youngsters from big business marketing. Some teachers argue large corpora- tions want access to kids to turn them into customers for life. Marketing is already in schools -- on T-shirts, shoes, binder stickers, even inside lockers. By fighting it, the only thing educators are doing is depriving students from better and more school supplies and improved facilities spon- sored by business. Kids are surrounded by marketing almost everywhere they go. It’s pointless to sacrifice good money to keep some of it out of schools. Crystal Crimi’s column ap- pears every third Sunday.

Identity fraud is in Durham, and it’s growing, a panel of experts told a crowd of 100 at the Pickering library Tuesday night. Even the police are struggling with a crime that is becoming more prevalent each year. “We’re certainly not experts,” said Durham police Detective Constable Paul Hallett of the major fraud unit. “These people come up with new ways all the time, and it’s hard to stay ahead.” Det. Hallett spoke of the many ways people try to gather invaluable personal information, including picking through mail -- sometimes stealing junk mail and cheques right out of mailboxes -- unauthorized credit checks, calling or e-mailing to trick you into handing over information. This last technique, called phishing, is so tricky criminals will set up fake bank websites or pretend to be a bank representative over the phone to get someone’s name, personal identifica- tion number (PIN) and account infor- mation, Det. Hallett said. “Your bank will never call and ask you for that, so don’t ever give it out over the phone,” he said. “No one will ever ask for it over the Internet, either.” The scary part is that identity theft itself is not a crime, Det. Hallett added. It’s only when criminals use your infor- mation for a fraudulent purpose that they’re breaking the law. And the bad guys are doing just that. Ta ke the case of the Browns, an el- derly couple who are a client of Brian McMurter’s, a real estate lawyer in Whitby. The Browns went on vacation, only to return and find their second house -- rented to a very nice tenant -- had been sold. That very nice tenant had a friend who knew how to get fake ID in Mr. Brown’s name. The pair used unsus- pecting lawyers to sell the house to each other, pocketing the profits, and skipping town, Mr. McMurter said. “It’s a serious problem,” Mr. McMurt- er said. “And it’s gotten more prevalent with computers. The ability to make fake ID has become easier with com- puters.” Three years ago, mortgage fraud claims made up only two per cent of First Canadian Title’s business. The mortgage insurance company’s fraud claims now encompass 36 per cent of its caseload, said Connie Bird, senior account manager for Toronto and west Durham. “It doesn’t guarantee someone can’t steal your (home),” she said of title insurance. “What it does guarantee is somebody to remedy it.” Luckily, the Browns had title insur- ance. First Canadian was able to buy out the mortgage and go to court on the Brown’s behalf and get their house back. The most frustrating part for vic- tims of identity theft is that they are guilty until they prove themselves in- nocent, Det. Hallett said. For more information on fraud, visit the Durham Regional Police website at www.drps.ca under Safety Tips. Information on title insurance can be found at www.firstcanadiantitle.com. ID fraud can lead to major financial headaches P revent your ID from being stolen • Store personal ID documents (birth certificates, SIN cards, passports) and other legal documents such as mort- gages and wills in a safe place. A safety deposit or locked box is preferable. • Cancel any credit cards you are no longer using. Get a letter from the lender saying the account has been closed. • Shred old personal documents you no longer need. • Review account statements carefully each month and report oddities im- mediately. • Make sure computers are safe by using firewalls and only using online banking/shopping sites that are en- crypted and secure. • Don’t give out personal information over the phone, by e-mail or from let- ters in the mail. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.

Although school may be the last thing some students are thinking about, inside the brightly lit classroom teacher Jennifer Ellis is preparing for the fresh faces of five and six year olds soon to fill the stacked desks and chairs. “Today I need to clear off all the shelves and put things back where they belong,” said Mrs. Ellis in mid-August while working in her Grade 1 classroom at Pierre E. Trudeau Public School. Her routine is currently being carried out in similar classrooms across Durham Region. “Today is mainly just a fur- niture moving day, I just want to set things up so they look ready.” To help her prepare, Mrs. Ellis brought her nine-year-old daughter Rachel for jobs such as sharpening pencils and sorting crayons. Before the first day on Sept. 6, Mrs. Ellis has to prepare books, draw lines in journals, photocopy material, label bins, sort through books and more to ensure everything is ready for the youngsters. In her 16 years as a teacher, Mrs. Ellis has taught many different grades and enjoys watching Grade 1 students grow. “They come in at the start of the year and sometimes they cry,” she said. “At the end of the year, they come in and give you a big hug.” Even though there’s still time before school starts, Mrs. Ellis already has her first day of classes planned. Wearing a school shirt, she’ll arrive around 7:45 a.m. to make sure everything is ready and likely attend a staff meeting. At about 8:20 a.m., she’ll go outside and introduce herself to parents and students. When it’s time for class, she’ll line students up, bring them in, take them to the coat rack and explain how it works. While she does, the students will likely be very in- tense, some will hold hands and others may cry, said Mrs. Ellis. Inside the classroom decorated with cater- pillar numbers and ABCs, the kids will play name games, sing songs, make construction paper hats, read books and have snack time. After they go for a tour of the school, Mrs. Ellis will talk with them about what they saw and answer their questions. Students will get recess and lunch breaks. “I’ll likely have to tie a lot of shoes that day,” she said. Mrs. Ellis said she tries to make the kids comfortable by creating routines and rep- etition. They’ll have regular spots for coats, shoes and lunches, and daily activities such as the ‘Star of the Day’ and weather song. And while the first day of school is an anxious experience for students, it is for Mrs. Ellis as well. “I always say to them, ‘you’re really ner- vous, well so am I’,” she said. “We’re in this together.” ‘We’re in this together’ children Celia Klemenz/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Grade 2/3 teacher Anna Palantzas at E.B.

Whether on a bus or walking to school, here are some suggestions from the Durham Catholic District School Board to help ensure a safe arrival: ON THE BUS • arrive five minutes early and stand in a safe place • use guardrails when getting on or off the bus • stay quiet and keep seated to prevent the driver from being dis- tracted • don’t eat on the bus to reduce the possibility of choking • don’t bring large items such as skis, toboggans, and hockey bags, which could prevent safe passage in aisles or occupy a seat WA LKING • always watch out for cars • choose a safe route with the few- est and safest streets to cross • use sidewalks and paths or walk as far away from traffic as possible • when crossing at mid block, make sure no cars are coming and continuously look for traffic • if crossing between parked cars, check if they’re running or if any- one is in them, then look left, right, left before going • at an intersection, obey traffic signals and lights, and make sure it’s safe to cross by looking to see if any cars are coming Pedestrian advice comes from the ‘Walking School Bus’ program, promoted by the Catholic school board.

See page 13 NHL netminders turn up at camp Thursday By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — Shuffling through the arena corridor Thursday night, hockey bags in hand, two NHL goaltenders came to lend a hand to the new Ajax junior ‘A’ owner and his coaching staff. At the behest of owner Robert Stein, newly minted Phoenix Coy- ote Curtis Joseph and the Philadel- phia Flyers’ Jamie Storr laced ‘em up at the Ajax Community Centre to evaluate and offer advice to the junior goaltenders in camp. “I’m going to do the best I can. They have a whole team of people doing evaluations, but if I can con- tribute one or two things,” says Joseph. “These people do this for a living. I just want to maybe evalu- ate one or two things and help in whatever way I can.” Stein and Joseph are friends and business associates from the lat- ter’s tenure as the starter with the To ronto Maple Leafs. As such, he’s thrilled that Stein has bought the tier 2 junior team and believes he’s going about things the right way. “I’ve had a long-term relation- ship with Rob and I know he’s determined to get the community behind the team. The only way to be successful is to get the com- munity back involved. It’s a great place here,” he says. Joseph notes he’s been busy in the last several weeks, including visiting the Phoenix area to find a home for his family and also ar- ranging for a U.S. work visa, but insists he’ll be out with the Ajax team as much as possible prior to the Phoenix training camp in early September to lend his support. “I want to be here, certainly when I’m in town,” he says. In addition to helping his friend and associate, Joseph notes his long-term plans include owning a junior hockey team. “I’ve always thought about own- ing a team and this is a way to come out and see how it’s run, see how Rob’s doing with the team. It will be an interesting process.” Meanwhile, Storr knows Stein through his long association with a goalie school run by Dave and Marco Franco. Dave is the goalten- ding coach for the Ajax juniors. Storr, like Joseph, is interested in lending a hand to the team, espe- cially where it concerns goaltend- ing. “It’s a good opportunity to help out any way I can,” says Storr, who joined the Flyers on a one-year contract earlier this month and will compete with incumbent Rob- ert Esche and Finnish newcomer Antero Niittymakie for ice time. “It’s a chance to go out and work with the kids and talk to them — that’s what people did for us when we were young.” Storr’s been out on one other occasion with the Ajax goaltenders and likes what he sees. “I think there’s a good crop of goaltenders here. There’s going to be some tough decisions to make.” Both goaltenders are relieved that the NHL lockout is history. “There’s a lot of excitement,” notes Joseph. “Anytime you have (Wayne) Gretzky involved there’s going to be a lot of excitement. It’s a franchise that hasn’t made the playoffs, but hopefully the play- ing field is level for all teams. It’s a great opportunity and a great chal- lenge to try and make the playoffs and go deep.” “We’re excited to be back play- ing at an elite level,” adds Storr, who had previous NHL stints with the Los Angeles Kings and the Car- olina Hurricanes. “Hopefully, I’ll go to Philly and play well.” It’s an especially interesting time for Joseph, with The Great One opting to take the coaching reins. “He’s obviously the greatest player to ever play. I’m sure he’s got some great thoughts about the game and he’s got some good people down there — (assistant coaches) Rick Tocchet, Barry Smith — and (former Leafs’ athlet- ic trainer) Chris Broadhurst. He’s awesome.” Cujo, Storr offer tips, evaluate Ajax junior goaltenders Al Rivett/ News Advertiser photo Curtis Joseph talks shop with Ajax junior ‘A’ coach Carey Durant before tak- ing to the ice at the Ajax Community Centre on Thursday night. Panthers McIlhone undecided about future Paces Pickering in 7-4 loss to Hamilton By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — Staying or leav- ing? That’s the question upper- most in Phil McIlhone’s mind as to whether he’ll remain with the Pickering Panthers or move on to the Ontario Hockey League’s Os- hawa Generals. The decision, he admits, is one he won’t be inclined to make until he has an idea of what educational proposal the Generals will offer. “I’m going to leave my options open,” says McIlhone, who was recently traded by his draft team, the Sudbury Wolves, to Oshawa. “My goal is to make sure I’ve got my schooling taken care of. If it’s in jeopardy in Oshawa, I won’t take it. I’ve talked to a number of schools in the States, so I have options. If (Oshawa) wants me to sign something, they have to offer me an (educational) package. As long as school is taken care of, it’s a go.” Despite that trepidation, McIl- hone would be happy going to Oshawa. “It’s good to have a shot at play- ing for your hometown team. It will be great to play in the OHL in front of your family and friends.” McIlhone admitted he had re- quested the trade from Sudbury, as that club was loaded at left- wing and would be disinclined to give him a shot at steady ice time. The Generals, on the other hand, are a team in great need of his ser- vices. “From what I understand, the Generals have a shortage of 87s (18-year-olds) and they also have a shortage on the left side. Sudbury had no room on the left side,” says McIlhone, one of the most prolific scorers in Pickering Panthers his- tory. He tallied 22 goals and 23 as- sists despite missing several games down the stretch last season. McIlhone will be at the Gen- erals training camp next week and, if a suitable package can’t be worked out, he vows to be back with the Panthers for the 2005-06 campaign, playing to land a U.S. scholarship. “I love Pickering. Pickering has been nothing but good to me. If I had my way, I would stay in Pick- ering. But, I’m going to better my- self and if the OHL is the way to do that, then I have to go.” McIlhone was his usual self as one of the most dangerous offen- sive players on the ice during the Panthers’ first exhibition tilt of the season, a 7-4 loss to the Hamilton Red Wings at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex Thursday. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound for- ward netted a pair of goals and looked regular-season ready in the loss.

What kind of bouquet will you carry? How many centerpieces will you need for the reception? What kind of boutonniere will your groom wear? These are just some of the issues you will have to discuss with your florist. After you have selected the colors of your wedding, you can start thinking about the flowers. To get ideas, go to the library and check out some books on floral arranging, or look through some bridal magazines. Make photocopies or clip out pictures of arrangements you like. Collect them together with swatches of your wedding colors to give to the florist later. In the floral world, flowers carry meaning. Tulips, for instance, symbolize love; daisies, innocence; and honeysuckle, generosity. Ivy represents eternal fidelity, while ferns represent sincerity. Keep this in mind as you choose the flowers and greenery for the floral arrangements at your wedding. For a more complete list of meanings, conduct a search online. Once you have a few ideas, consider whether you will use real or silk flowers. There are pros and cons to each. Real flowers smell wonderful, but they are less hardy and more expensive than silk flowers. To reduce costs, consider using flowers in season. Although they do not have a scent, silk flowers cost less and they can be displayed easier after your wedding. No matter if you use real or silk flowers, the number and size of your floral arrangements, especially your bouquet, should fit your budget and your needs. Generally, the larger an arrangement, the more it costs. If you have a small budget and need several pieces, you may have to choose smaller arrangements. As for your bridal bouquet, make sure you select a size that fits your stature. You don’t want to be burdened with a huge bouquet that covers half of your dress. Once you have an idea of the type, size and number of arrangements you will need, it’s time to select a florist. Depending on your needs, it could be a crafty friend or a flower shop down the street. The person you choose should be creative. They should also be reliable and flexible in case you need to make changes to your arrangements later. No matter whom you choose, make sure you are comfortable with their services. Then give them your ideas and color swatches, and watch them create some beautiful floral arrangements for your wedding.

The OHA Ontario Provincial Ju- nior ‘A’ Hockey League club played its second pre-season contest against the Red Wings in Hamilton Friday night, with the result unavail- able at press time. Hamilton took the play to Picker- ing from the outset. If not for the goaltending of Bryan Eustace and Eric Nottbeck, the score could have been much higher. The Panthers showed some life in the third period, cutting a two-goal deficit to 5-4 with 4:10 remaining. Hamilton, however, added an empty-net marker with 36 seconds to go and scored again with six seconds remaining. Panthers head coach John Wind- er admits the Panthers’ play was ragged with their defensive zone coverage particularly troubling. “We were definitely scrambly.
