Sunday, Monday accidents claim lives of Uxbridge, Brooklin men By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer PICKERING — Two people are dead following separate accidents on Pick- ering roads early this week. Crashes Sunday afternoon and Monday morning claimed lives, po- lice said. A Brooklin man died in a three-car crash Sunday, while an Ux- bridge man died in a violent collision Monday. • Durham Regional Police said 72- year-old John Guenin of Uxbridge was southbound on Brock Road around 8:10 a.m. Monday when his Suzu- ki Aerio car crossed the centre line, slamming head-on into a northbound dump truck. Mr. Guenin died at the scene of the accident. Brock Road was closed throughout the day as a clean-up of the site was carried out. “There was about 500 litres of diesel fuel that spilled on the road as a result of the crash,” police spokesman Dave The Pickering 38 PAGES ✦ Metroland Durham Region Media Group ✦ WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 2005 ✦ Optional delivery $6 / Newsstand $1 Come See Our New Look!

PA ROLEE WALKED AWAY FROM DURHAM HALFWAY HOUSE By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — Police have issued a public alert as they search for a vio- lent offender who’s been at large since walking away from a Durham halfway house Aug. 4. Sean Harrison, 24, has a history of extremely violent behaviour and should be considered dangerous, said Detective-Constable Bob Elliott, of the Durham Regional Police Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement (ROPE) squad. Anyone who encounters the man should call police immediately, he said. “He’s got a really violent history,” Det.-Const. Elliott said. “What landed him in jail last time was an aggravated assault.” Mr. Harrison was sentenced to more than two years in jail in May of 2004 after he and a co-accused were found guilty of beating two men with an iron bar. He was ordered to stay in a halfway house upon his release on parole. His past convictions are primar- ily assault related and include assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm and aggravated assault. Investigators believe the man is still in Durham, Det.-Const. Elliott said. He has contacts in the Ajax-Pickering and Oshawa areas, he said. Mr. Harrison is white, 5-feet-11 and 180 pounds with blue eyes and short blonde hair. Anyone who encounters him should not approach him, Det.- Const. Elliott said. Anyone with information on the man’s whereabouts should call Det.- Const. Elliott at 1-888-803-9514, Dur- ham Police at 911, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Police searching region for violent offender Pickering to comment on plan at Sept. 6 meeting By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — The City has agreed to postpone consideration of its Offi- cial Plan amendment regarding Seaton in the hopes that it will lead to a better relationship with the Province. Pickering council was to consider amendment 14 at a special meeting Sept. 6. Instead it is to consider a plan- ning and development department re- port on the Province’s proposed plan for central Pickering (provincially- owned Seaton and the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve). The change was made after the City received a letter from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Aug. 11. The ministry requested council “hold consideration” of amendment 14 until the consultation on the pro- vincial plan is complete and a final decision has been made with respect to the provincial development plan. “We felt there was an opportunity for us to try to have a more positive rela- tionship with the Province of Ontario, an opportunity to be less confronta- tional and show a gesture of goodwill,” said Ward 1 Regional Councillor Mau- rice Brenner. Mayor Dave Ryan was out of the country when the letter was received so Coun. Brenner, as acting mayor, made the decision after con- sulting with the rest of council. The City and Province have been at odds over their position on the preserve. The City’s growth manage- ment study calls for development in the southern portion of the preserve, while the Province has included it in its greenbelt, which makes it off limits to development. The two plans now look fairly similar on the Seaton side. “It doesn’t mean we agree,” Coun. Brenner said. “(But) there needs to be some co-operative relationship if we’re going to settle this.” Under the Ontario Planning and De- velopment Act, if the two plans differ the Province’s plan takes precedence. Coun. Brenner said residents can also have their say about the Province’s plan at the meeting.

The DRPS is one of five police ser- vices across the province that joined the Joint Forces Hate Crime and Ex- tremism Investigation Team as it ex- panded last week; the team delivers public education and training pro- grams, and provides specialized in- vestigative support on matters involv- ing hate propaganda, the promotion of genocide, hate-motivated crimes and criminal extremism. Last week, Durham, York, Halton, Oxford and Toronto joined the team that already included services from Waterloo, Guelph, Ottawa, Hamilton and London. The expansion announcement came with the Province’s announce- ment of $200,000 in funding to sup- port the work. The funding supports the expansion, as well as finances analytical services, officer training, and the production of front-line edu- cation materials. Last year DRPS handled 22 hate crimes and so far this year there have been 12. “It certainly hasn’t been a major issue here in Durham but it certainly is an issue that we’ve dealt with,” said Dave Selby, DRPS spokesman. ✦ See Community, Page 2 GAME ON Street hockey teams battle for Easter Seals Page 5 WEST NILE VIRUS Pickering birds, mosquitoes latest to test positive Page 3 POWER TO MOVE Room for seven in new Audi Q7 Wheels pullout Durham Regional Police say violent of- fender Sean Harrison walked away from a halfway house earlier this month. ✦ See Consultations, Page 4 A/P PAGE 2 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆AUGUST 31, 2005 Clearance 50 - 70% OFF While quantities last. *Offers valid at this location only. 1822 Whites Road*Pickering (Amberlea Plaza)(905) 831-6742 Centre *Shampoos *Flat Irons *Styling Products *Blow Dryers *Conditioners Professional Products OUR CARRIER’S .... ....

By collecting and sharing intelligence on poten- tial problems, the team helps police services de- velop ways of preventing hate crimes and extrem- ism. It also provides training for front-line officers, first responders to hate crime incidents, and helps school boards and community groups to identify and respond to issues of hate and extremism. “The Ontario government is committed to pro- tecting everyone from intolerance, hate and dis- crimination,” said Wayne Arthurs, MPP Pickering- Ajax-Uxbridge. Police services maintain full time and distinct hate crime units and work closely with the OPP and other police and government agen- cies such as the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Canada Customs and Citizenship and Immigration. “Fighting hate underlines our commitment to tolerance and equality - the building blocks of strong and prosperous communities” said Monte Kw inter, Minister of Community Safety and Cor- rectional Services. The McGuinty government is also setting up a Hate Crimes Community Working Group to make recommendations for improving services for victims of hate crimes and to prevent further victimization. The members appointed to the group are to represent the interests of many of the individuals, groups and communities affected by hate propaganda and hate-motivated crimes.

Durham Region has registered its first batch of West Nile Virus-posi- tive mosquitoes. They were trapped in Ajax as part of the Durham Region Health Department’s adult mosquito surveillance program. Mosquitoes have been collected since June 13 at 15 sites throughout Durham. According to a health department press release, the pool of mosquitoes was sent for testing last week and con- firmed positive on Monday. In addition, the number of dead birds carrying the virus in Durham now stands at seven, after two birds were found in Pickering. No human cases of the disease have been reported in Durham this year. “Provincial surveillance indicates that WNV activity continues to increase throughout Ontario,” stated Dr. Donna Reynolds, the Region’s associate medi- cal officer of health. “With the num- ber of positive birds in Durham Region on the rise and now the positive mos- quitoes in Ajax, it’s important for area residents to continue paying close at- tention to protecting themselves from mosquito bites.” The Region encourages residents to continue reporting dead crows, ravens, blue jays and raptors (eagles, hawks and owls) to the Region. Call the envi- ronmental help line at 1-800-841-2729, ext. 3232, or on the Internet at www. region.durham.on.ca. The department will pick up dead birds from communities where no dis- eased birds have been identified this season: Uxbridge, Scugog, Brock and Clarington. In the case of a species that doesn’t typically carry WNV, such as a finch, multiple dead birds are necessary for a pick up.

Street hockey games raise funds for Easter Seals By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM — Local community members and businesses are facing off for a good cause. Te ams are gearing up to take part in the annual Power Play street hockey tournament run by Easter Seals Dur- ham Region. It is Saturday, Sept. 10 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Community members, local businesses and Easter Seals families enter teams for their chance to win prizes, have fun and raise money for children with physical disabilities “It goes towards funding mobil- ity and communication equipment for children with disabilities registered with Easter Seals in Durham Region,” said Janis Steele, district manager. “The money all goes to local Easter Seals children.” Tom Batchellor, owner of Tom’s No Frills in Ajax, is entering a team for the third time. “We wanted to get involved in some- thing in the community that was posi- tive and it was something we enjoy doing,” he said. So far Mr. Batchellor has been able to recruit six people for this year’s team. As well, he’s challenged other stores to come out and play. This is the Easter Seals’ signature event and the local branch’s main fundraiser. Last year, $390,000 was raised around the province. Mr. Batchellor said it’s a good cause; and at past events he’s been able to meet some of the children who benefit from the fundraiser. “It’s very gratifying to know you’re helping, even in a small way,” he said. To qualify to play, each team of six players must raise a minimum of $600. Va rious awards are given to competi- tors, including the spirit award for the tackiest team ensemble. Each player also receives lunch and a loot bag. A current NHL player, as well as other hockey heroes, is going to be there and team members can get their photo taken with him. The winning team gets the Power Play trophy, as well as a free massage on the spot from Hands in Demand. The event moves from Whitby to Pickering this year. The plaza in front of Kelsey’s (north of Pickering Park- way, east of Brock Road) is going to be transformed into a street hockey stadium. Those not interested in play- ing are welcome to come out to cheer on their favourite team and enjoy a barbecue lunch hosted by Kelsey’s, with 50 per cent of the proceeds going to Easter Seals. For more information or to register, call 1-888-514-9138 or 905-720-0352. Keep your stick on the pavement A.J.

After a few years the local municipalities, Durham Region, Ontario Power Generation, Enbridge, GM, Clarington Business Park, Siemens, Veridian and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, discovered they were all working on similar projects at the same time. It seemed good people were all doing good work but in too many separate camps to achieve the same goal -- conserve en- ergy and look for new energy generation. Each group was putting its own energy into individual projects but now they will all be working together with the formation of the Durham Strategic Energy Alliance (DSEA) which brings together representatives dedicated to making energy conservation and generation a way of life in Durham Region. Doug Lindeblom, Durham’s director of economic develop- ment and tourism, said it was a collective decision to join forces. “Everybody kept bumping into each other and what we real- ized is everybody was trying to accomplish the same thing,” he said. Mr. Lindeblom compared the newest initiative to the Blue Box program which started about 20 years ago. At that time people never gave recycling a second thought, but today almost every household in Durham Region has multiple blue boxes at the road side every two weeks. The DSEA would like to see the same type of success with its programs in the coming years. Richard Marceau, provost at UOIT, and a DSEA board member, is concerned about the “tremendous energy challenge” Durham faces and without action today, the economy here could be in dire straits. He points out that uncontrollable fossil fuel costs and a grow- ing economy, combined with the increasing demand for power mean that, here in Durham, and ultimately the province, every- one is at risk. He predicts we’ll face a bleak future if we don’t act today. There’s no guarantee that fossil fuels will be a viable or an available option within 100 years. By moving forward today, we’ll avert disaster in the coming decades. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson looks around his com- munity where he sees two energy facilities and sees this group’s formation as a tremendous opportunity to drive change. By carefully plotting a new course for Durham, residents can expect this group to be on the leading edge in this country, if not globally. The challenge has been presented to DSEA, now it needs to put its combined efforts to work for the good of the community before it’s too late. Councillor confirms opposition to airport To the editor: Re: Proposed Pickering air- port. I do not support an airport in Pickering and I do support the tenants on the Pickering lands. I have been clear and con- sistent on these matters dur- ing my service on Pickering council. This is also made clear through council resolutions that I have initiated, newslet- ters and correspondence from me, my comments as quoted in the Pickering News Adver- tiser, and in discussions with federal officials and Pickering residents. I, too, have visited many of the properties on federal lands and raised concern with the lack of maintenance of homes and opposition to evictions and demolitions. I am hopeful that my efforts and those of residents, tenants, my council colleagues, residents groups such as VOCAL, and MP Mark Holland will at long last con- vince the GTAA and the feder- al government to not proceed with an airport and stop tenant evictions. My dogged efforts and resi- dents’ support to have a peer review of the GTAA’s rationale for the need for an airport will hopefully be addressed by the recent news that the federal transport department will un- dertake a ‘due diligence’ re- view of the matter. Let me repeat the standing council position that has been around for years; Pickering does not support an airport at this time. I share many of the views put forward by Mr. Thompson and Ms. Merrem in their recent letters to the editor, however, I have been (and many have thanked and supported me) for going to bat for the area residents on the airport issue. We must con- tinue to work together. David Pickles City Councillor, Pickering Animals need a voice in land plans To the editor: Re: ‘Speak up now on Picker- ing’s future,’ Aug. 5. What about the wildlife? I have lived at the same ad- dress in Pickering for 30 years and my mother for 50. We have seen many changes to the land, especially the wildlife that inhabit the area. Almost 20 years ago there were wolves and bears, which we personally witnessed, but Pickering’s growth moved them out. Still, there are coy- otes, foxes, owls, deer, beaver and a wide variety of others including some endangered plantlife, but when do they get their eviction notice? We have attended many meetings on the Seaton land plan with a different map and number of residents each time. We need to keep substantial amounts of forest, marshes, ponds, creeks and rivers (ie: Urfe Creek) so wildlife won’t get pushed out of Pickering forever. Sensitive plants, birds and animals don’t like parks and sidewalks, they need soli- tude. We also need to protect our cold water streams from roads and street runoff, pes- ticides and litter that people bring. There are some beauti- ful species in Pickering that make the area their home or migratory path. Please help speak for the wildlife since they can’t. Cher Mahaney Pickering Bay finally getting much-needed attention To the editor: In 1992 I presented a delega- tion to Pickering council warn- ing them about our French- man Bay’s declining condition. This tocsin went unheeded. Since then, further devel- opments have ensued. Letters to the editor in the News Ad- vertiser, former mayor Wayne Arthurs’ invaluable Waterfront Ta sk Force Report of 2002, and David Steele’s effort, re: Uni- versity of Toronto water quality report, have all sounded the warning bells that now turn this miasma around. Our millennium municipal- ity will emerge as a class act, one that respects its heritage. For me it’s been a quixotic challenge, but now I see the political windmills crumbling. MPs Dan McTeague and Mark Holland, Ontario Power Generation, Waterfront Co- ordinating Committee chair- man and councillor, Maurice Brenner, and Pat O’Brien, de- serve credit for their work at the bay cleanups. Frenchman’s Bay: Our his- tory, our environment and our recreational playground -- a sparkling jewel to cherish for- ever. Frank Thelkeld Jr. Pickering LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I have a thing for little old ladies. One of the perks of living in a small town is that there seems to be a prepon- derance of ‘grannies’ stroll- ing around. Lovely, lavender scented, be-shawled flowers who always have a smile and a chat ready for the giving. They’re easy to spot. I find the early morning hours best. The Blue-haired Granny (not to be confused with the Sour- pussed Fogey) is a species that rises with the sun and is most visible between the hours of 6 a.m. and noon. They are fre- quently found in gaggles of three or four in tea shops, knit- ting supply outlets and drug stores. The patient observer, if he is lucky, may even see them in their most natural ele- ment, prowling produce aisles, squeezing fruit with practiced, liver-spotted hands. I find the best time to go Granny hunting is my morning walk to the store for a Saturday paper. This past weekend was particularly productive. The day was bright with just a hint of fall nip in the air, perfect for Grannies in full sweater plum- age. Within minutes of loiter- ing in front of the Freshmart, I’d limited out. I came home with a smile on my face and that beatific, after- Granny glow. My wife knew what was up, immediately. “You’ve been talking with old ladies again haven’t you?” “Whaddya mean? I was just...” “You smell like lilac water and you’ve got foundation on your cheek.” Oh. Busted. My wife would never stop me from seeing “much older” women though. She knows how good it is for me. She knows that it’s good for a 45-year-old man to still have to address some people as “Mrs.” She knows that when you’re feeling blue or a little over- whelmed, a gloved-hand pat- ting you on the forearm can be just the ticket. She knows that in a world moving at light-speed, crammed with vulgarity and sharp edges, that hanging out with someone who remembers when things moved no faster than a horse’s trot and when manners and courtesy were taught alongside arithmetic and spelling, can not only be refreshing, but soul-saving. She knows even the dullest person cannot live to be 80 without picking up something impor- tant along the way. What she may not know, however, and what may be the most compelling reason to stop and chat with these dear ladies is that when I do so, I feel like a little boy again. One of these days my wife’s going to worry when I don’t come home from my Saturday morning walk. She’ll scour the town only to find me blissfully asleep beneath a homemade Afghan on some old dear’s couch, a half-eaten plate of Ginger Snaps beside me. She’ll open her mouth to protest but she’ll be “shushed” and given a disapproving look by the Gran- ny in the rocker beside me. “Let’s let him sleep a little longer, deary. He’s such a good boy.” Yeah, that’s how it’ll go. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his col- umns.

Pickering lost 3-1. P PAGE 8 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆AUGUST 24, 2005 Hamilton hands Pickering second defeat By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — The Pickering Pan- thers are still searching for their first pre-season victory after dropping their second consecutive exhibition contest to the Hamilton Red Wings in Hamilton on Friday night. The two OHA Ontario Provincial Ju- nior ‘A’ Hockey League teams engaged in another high-scoring affair with the Red Wings winning out 9-6 at Hamilton’s Chedoke arena. It was the Red Wings’ third pre-season victory in a row. The Panthers lost their first pre-sea- son tilt to Hamilton 7-4 at the Pickering Recreation Complex last Thursday. As in the first pre-season game, veter- an duo and linemates Brett Connolly and Phil McIlhone continued to be the Pan- thers’ best forwards in the early stages of the season. McIlhone -- who’s headed for the Ontario Hockey League’s Oshawa Generals camp this week -- paced Pick- ering with two goals and three assists, while Connolly accounted for two goals and added two assists. Panthers’ rookie Tyler Melancon, who played with the Quinte ‘AAA’ minor midgets last season, scored the other marker. Expected opening-day starter Mark Duchesne, who started last year with the Listowel Cyclones of the MidWestern ju- nior ‘B’ loop, split the netminding duties with Wes Annis. The Panthers next exhibition game is against the Bowmanville Eagles at the Garnet B. Rickard complex on Thursday, Sept. 1 at 7:30 p.m. ••• Asked to provide as a percentage how far he’s along in choosing his opening- day roster, Panthers’ head coach John Winder says his lineup is “90 per cent” complete. The remaining 10 per cent of the puzzle can’t be finalized, he says, until major junior clubs have made their decisions regarding seven Panthers skat- ing at camps this week. Attending major junior camps are: Phil McIlhone (Oshawa Generals), Cody Smith (Brampton Battalion), Greg Riggs (London Knights), Marcus Carroll (Owen Sound Attack), Kyle Van de Bos- poort (Barrie Colts), Melancon (Guelph Storm) and Derek Rotundi (Val D’Or Foreurs, Quebec Major Junior). Winder noted there’s an urgency this season to evaluate and sign players as quickly as possible, as other OPJAHL teams have also started their evaluating and signing process earlier than ever. “You have to get it done ahead of time or they’re gone to other teams,” says Winder. He notes he expects to have his full, opening-day roster picked by the team’s exhibition game against the Bowman- ville Eagles on Tuesday, Sept. 6 at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7:30 p.m. The Panthers will have one more pre-season home date against the Capi- tal District (CD) Selects on Thursday, Sept. 8 at 7:30 p.m. ••• Winder says this year, the Panthers have an embarrassment of riches where veterans are concerned. The team is deep in experienced players with Rich- ard Schofield, Connolly, Andrew Dis- sanayake, Justin Fox and John Soames all returning to the fold. Other veteran players, who played elsewhere last sea- son, include goaltender Duchesne and Long Island New York native and for- ward Craig Cole. That number could swell even higher depending on the out- comes at the OHL and Quebec Major Junior training camps. As for Schofield, he joins the team having missed most of last season with suspected post-concussion syndrome after being injured with an open-ice hit during an exhibition game against the Capital District Selects in a pre-season game last September. So far, the forward is on track to begin the season with the Panthers. “It looks like he hasn’t missed a beat,” says Winder in his assessment of Scho- field’s camp to date. Junior ‘A’ Panthers still searching for f irst pre-season win Ajacians win basketball titles for Ontario teams By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — A summer’s worth of work on the hardwood paid off handsomely for Ajax basketball player Devoe Joseph. The 16-year-old hoops phenom ac- quitted himself well on the national stage, so much so that his Team Ontario juvenile under-17 basketball returned home with a gold medal at the presti- gious Canada Summer Games, which concluded in Regina recently. “It was a great experience,” says Jo- seph, a guard with the provincial squad. “We fought so hard and worked so hard for it.” In fact, Joseph was part of a quintet of Ajax players who carried off gold medals at national championships recently. While Joseph was busy leading his under-17 boys’ team to the top of the national heap at the Canada Summer Games, Kalisha Keane was one of the catalysts for her under-17 girls’ team to win gold at the Games. Meanwhile, Kalisha’s sister Takima Keane and Adriana Allen, both of Ajax, played for the province’s under-15 squad at the Canadian National Midget (under-15) Basketball Championships in Calgary, Alta. recently. Jonathan Tull also represented Ontario at the national midget boys’ showcase, also in Calgary. All returned home with gold. Playing Quebec for the gold medal, Joseph and his Team Ontario teammates posted a decisive 73-63 victory over the Quebecers. Joseph ended the champi- onship game with eight points. To get to the gold-medal game, the Ontarians knocked off British Columbia in a tense semifinal contest, with Ontario winning out by the slimmest of mar- gins, 57-56. In a tight game, Joseph came through with a 13-point performance, the leading scorer on his team. The Ontario under-17 team also post- ed a 3-1 record in pool play. Joseph says playing for Team Ontario coach Roy Rana, head coach at perennial Ontario high school champion Eastern Commerce of Toronto, and assistants Rich Gallagher and Avery Brown was an eye-opener, noting all aspects of the game are put under a microscope. The coaching staff “made sure we did every little thing right and it made us better players,” says Joseph who’s a start- ing guard with the Pickering High School Trojans senior boys’ basketball team, helping the squad to the Durham Region title last season. In addition to the high calibre of bas- ketball played at the Canada Games, Joseph noted there was plenty of time to meet and talk with other athletes. “It was fun. There were a lot of other people my age, so we had the opportu- nity to talk with them, meet new friends and have fun,” says Joseph, who’s enter- ing Grade 11 at Pickering High. Meanwhile, Kalisha Keane and her Ontario teammates shaded Alberta 91- 84 to take home the gold medal from the Canada Summer Games. Keane scored five points in the championship contest. In the semifinal game, Ontario up- ended B.C. 75-36 to earn the right to play for gold. Keane contributed eight points. In preliminary play, Team Ontario won all four of its games. Tull, 15, made the most of his oppor- tunity of being a starter for Team Ontario at the national midget championships in Calgary. Not only did the six-foot, 163-pound guard help lead Ontario to the gold medal, blitzing B.C. 73-52 in the cham- pionship game, but he was also the recipient of two individual accolades. At the conclusion of the nationals, Tull was named a first-team all-star. He was earned player-of-the-game honours for his role in a 117-48 rout of Manitoba in Ontario’s opener at nationals. A member of the Durham West Jag- uars midget basketball team, the Grade 10 student at Pickering High says he plans to attend Duke University and play for the Blue Devils on an athletic schol- arship in the future. Meanwhile, Takima Keane and Allen were mainstays of the gold-medal-win- ning Team Ontario midget girls’ squad at nationals in Calgary, helping Ontario to a big 61-42 victory over B.C. in the final. In the semifinals, Ontario bested host Alberta 85-62. Ontario won all three of its pool games, defeating Nova Scotia 84-74, New Bruns- wick 102-41 and Saskatchewan 87-53.

Sports briefs AUGUST 31, 2005 [ Lacrosse ] Lady Blue Knights repeat as champs AJAX — The evidence is indisput- able: The Oshawa Lady Blue Knights under-19 team is the best in Ontario. The Lady Blue Knights — with Ajax’s Melissa Nakasuji in the lineup — won their second consecutive ‘A’ championship at the Ontario Women’s Lacrosse Provincial Champi- onships last week- end, coming from behind to beat host Orangeville 7-5 in the gold medal game. The championship game featured tight defence and intense battles all over the field for control of the ball. Oshawa took a 3-2 lead into the halftime break, but early in the second half, Orangeville scored three straight goals to take a 5-3 lead. Oshawa called a timeout at the eight- minute mark and regrouped, putting on a demonstration of sheer determination as they chipped away at the Orangeville lead. Oshawa scored four goals while shutting out Orangeville over the final 17 minutes to take the gold. In round-robin play, the Lady Blue Knights beat Six Nations 14-8, Oran- geville 17-11 and Kawartha 13-4. [ Hockey ] NHL Oldtimers lacing them up fo r charity game PICKERING — A good game, for a good cause, is scheduled for Pickering on Saturday, Sept. 10. The Toronto Maple Leaf and NHL Old- timers will join forces for an entertaining evening of Classic Hockey at the Pickering Recreation Complex. While the names of past NHL’ers will certainly ensure a good game, the good cause part of the equation stems from the proceeds directed to Canadian music leg- end John Allan Cameron to help his fight against cancer. A partial list of the celebrities sched- uled to appear includes Don Cherry, Bob Gainey, Doug Gilmour, Bob Baun, Brian Conacher, Mike Palmateer, Rene Robert, Joe Bowen, Walter Gretzky, Mike Pelyk, Peter Zezel, Pat Hickey, Lou Franceschetti, Rob Pearson, Dale DeGray, Jim Dorey and Bob McGill, with more likely to be added. Game time is 6 p.m. at the Pickering Recreation Complex, 1867 Valley Farm Road. Admission is $10. The game is sponsored by Coughlan Homes and the Durham Region Media Group. [ Baseball ] Ajax seniors defend EOBA crown AJAX — Apparently history meant more than rankings where the Eastern On- tario Baseball Association senior playoffs were concerned. Despite being seeded sixth out of six teams heading into the weekend cham- pionships in Whitby, the Ajax Spartans successfully defended their 2004 champi- onship with a 7-3 win over the host Canadi- ans in the final at Iroquois Park Sunday. Fa cing a Whitby team that had scored 23 runs in their previous two games, Ajax pitcher Darryl Noble nevertheless went the distance, and allowed only one hit after a three-run first inning. The Spartans had already scored all the runs they would need in the top of the first, pushing five across against Whitby starter Lars Clay. John Frederick was even more im- pressive on the mound for Ajax, tossing a no-hitter in a 2-0 win over the Kendal Eagles and also earning the win in an ear- lier 2-0 victory over Whitby. The Spartans opened the tournament with a 5-3 loss to the No. 1-ranked Kings- ton Ponies, but reeled off four straight wins to take the title. Shane Moore picked up the other pitching win, a 7-5 verdict over Markham. [ Sport fishing ] Ajacian’s catch hauls in big reward AJAX — An Ajax fisherman and his partner placed second at the Mercury Canadian Fishing Tour ultimate bass fishing competition at the Gold Beach Resort at Rice Lake last Saturday. Don Sangster, of Ajax, and Jerry Hughes, of Oshawa, earned second-place honours after their five fish came in at 17.1 pounds. Second prize was $2,600. During the Rice Lake event, anglers competed in teams, with each team al- lowed to weigh in a maximum of five bass. All the fish were returned to Rice Lake.

Nominations have closed and the finalists have been announced for the 11 categories in the competition, held by the Durham Region Music Society. Winners will be announced at a cer- emony on Sept. 21 at 7 p.m. at Whitby’s Centennial Building. “It’s should be a great evening,” said society president Howard Ross. “The great thing is, we’ve contacted them all and they’ll all be there. A couple of them are well-known touring artists but it happens they’re able to make it.” More than 87 nominations were re- ceived and judges narrowed the final field to 33. Musicians qualified if they are from Durham Region and have re- corded in the last two years or those who live elsewhere and have recorded in Durham. Meanwhile, the awards show, part of Whitby’s sesquicentennial celebra- tions, is sold out. However, the recep- tion afterwards at the Aura Lounge, 227 Brock St. N., Whitby, is open, Ross said. It features the Mother Jones band play- ing upstairs and live jazz downstairs. The awards ceremony is expected to last until 9 p.m. At the ceremony, entertainment will be provided by the Peter Smith Trio, finalists Rena Gaile, Eric Lambier, Lynn MacDonald and Grace, and society member Terry Blankley.

Nominees announced for top talent in the region cinefest Durham dances into new season DURHAM — Ballroom dancing, junior grade, is the topic of the first showing of cinefest Durham, celebrat- ing its 10th anniversary this year. Mad Hot Ballroom, to be shown Sept. 29, follows three teams of New York City Grade 5 students in their quest to win a citywide ballroom dance competition. The documentary, directed by Mari- lyn Agrelo, provides an inspiring and often hilarious look at the 11-year-old dancers and their efforts to learn the foxtrot, meringue, tango, rumba and swing over 10 weeks. The PG-rated movie will be shown at 7 p.m. at Famous Players, Oshawa Centre. Tickets are $6, available at cinefest Durham’s box offices, which closes promptly at 7 p.m. Tickets can’t be purchased from famous Players. On Oct. 27, Brodre/Brothers will be shown. The film, in Danish with Eng- lish subtitles, is set against the back- drop of the war in Afghanistan. The Nov. 21 film has yet to be con- firmed. A.J.

The concerts are organized and sponsored by the City of Pickering and Ontario Power Generation. Pickering man among artists in recent display By Derek Giberson Staff Writer DURHAM — Realizing comic-book ambitions in a mass-consumption digital world can be an ambitious un- dertaking. Nonetheless, Peter Ash and Mark Feltham, both of Oshawa and gradu- ates of Sheridan College’s animation program, are determined to forge their own creative path using a medium that once enjoyed mainstream status, but now sits in a niche market. They were displaying their latest work at a showcase at Worlds Col- lide, a comic-book and games store in Oshawa, earlier in August, along with local artists Leif Giess and Andrea O’Callaghan of Oshawa, Steve Spray- son of Bowmanville, and Richard Pace of Pickering. To gether, Mr. Ash and Mr. Feltham have founded their own company, Se- quential Scribbles, and they are in the process of promoting their work wher- ever they can, including the country’s biggest comic-book industry trade show this past weekend, the Canadian National Comic Book Expo in Toronto. “The industry is rather small, so it’s going to take time,” said Mr. Feltham. Finding a solid foothold in the indus- try can be difficult for a new company that is trying to match the quality of the major publications already enjoying a comfortable space on comic-book racks. “I wouldn’t mind working with an es- tablished company,” said Mr. Feltham, but he added he would like to be able to create his own projects and devote his efforts primarily to them. The whole journey began as a hobby, reading comics and drawing simple stories and photocopying them. “We’ve been collecting comics since we were 10 years old,” said Mr. Ash. With time, they realized it was some- thing they wanted to pursue profes- sionally. “We started going to small press shows,” added Mr. Ash. “We got to this stage, and hopefully we will be able to get work from other companies.” Worlds Collide will be hosting a fall showcase on Oct. 15. $*5*;&/4&:& Yo ur Voice...

Three men, ages 30s through 50s, are required and two women, ages 30s through 40s, are needed. The Norm Foster comedy features lounge singer Scott, who has trouble keeping a backup pianist until Marty comes along, determined to save his marriage with a steady job. He won’t quit, even when his dubious entanglements threaten to sink the club. The play will be staged Nov. 4 through 12 with director Rob- ert Calvert at the helm. Candidates for Scott should prepare a contemporary, ka- raoke-style song (unaccom- panied is acceptable.) Piano skills are an asset but not re- quired for Marty. Auditions will be held Sept. 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the Arts Re- source Centre, Queen Street, behind City Hall in down- town Oshawa. No experience is necessary but those inter- ested are advised to read the script. For scripts, call 905- 725-9256 or e-mail DSP at dsp@durhamshoestring.org.
