WAY OF THE DINOSAUR Ajax and Pickering farmers are becoming a scarce breed Page 11 Pickering asked to support vote People need to ‘speak’ about chairman By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — Ajax Mayor Steve Parish is encouraging other Dur- ham municipalities to put the issue of voting for the regional chairperson to the electorate. Later this month, Ajax is expect- ed to pass a bylaw authorizing that a statement appear on the munici- pal election ballot in November 2006. It would ask voters to signify ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to the statement, “That the Government of Ontario enact a regulation requiring the direct election of the chair of the Re- gional Municipality of Durham.” Ajax’s intention appeared as correspondence on Wednesday’s regional council agenda. “We feel strongly that this is an issue the people should speak on one way or another,” Mayor Parish told regional council. He noted that it’s possible for other Durham municipalities to put the question on their bal- lots as well, noting there are time constraints and a required public meeting that must occur. Munici- palities must submit the question to the Province 180 days ahead of the municipal vote, roughly next May. Ajax is holding a public meeting on Sept. 26. “I would encourage other mu- nicipalities to put this on their bal- lots,” Mayor Parish said. Also on Wednesday’s agenda, Ajax Ward 2 local Councillor Joe Dickson made it clear in a letter Delegations have various opinions By Mike Ruta Staff Writer PICKERING — Pickering has re- jected as unacceptable a provincial plan for building Seaton and asked the government not to proceed. That conclusion came from a spe- cial City council meeting Tuesday to receive a staff report and hear what residents think of the Province’s Cen- tral Pickering Development Plan, released in July. Initially, the night was to have been devoted to the City’s Seaton plan, but council held off at the request of the Province, to help foster “a more positive relation- ship,” in Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner’s words. However, council’s dismissal of the Ontario plan wasn’t the kind of co-operation Don Harvey was hoping to see. “I’m asking you to listen to the residents of the City of Pickering,” he said, speaking for ratepayers in Cherrywood. “Stop dismissing us as complainers. The Cherrywood District Residents’ Association over- whelmingly supports the Province’s plan.” Mr. Harvey and others favoured the Province’s scheme which, unlike the City’s, does not include develop- ment on the Duffins Rouge Agricul- tural Preserve. “You will build on essentially the same parts of land in Seaton and sacrifice the agricultural preserve,” he said. “Ditch this report, call the Province up and sit down with them.” Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan says the City has been rebuffed in its at- tempts to work with the Province. “We’re essentially on hold; we want to work with the Province,” he said in an interview. “I believe we’re coming to a showdown.” Mayor Ryan says “a strong case could be made for abuse of power” by the Province, which could im- plement its plan against the City’s will.

Oshawa MP Colin Carrie believes that tax cuts could easily stop the pain at the pumps. He and his Conserva- tive colleagues are demanding that Paul Martin’s Liberal government cap the amount of tax charged on gasoline and eliminate the practice of applying GST to provincial and excise taxes, which amounts to charging tax on top of a tax. “Gas taxes are a cash cow for the Lib- erals,” said Mr. Carrie. “So much so that approximately one-third of the per-litre price of gas is comprised of taxes. Every 1 cent increase in the price for a litre of gas translates into $32 million in ad- ditional annual revenue for the federal government.” Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland was quick to defend his Liberal gov- ernment’s policy. He said lifting taxes would result in a savings of about 20 cents per litre, much of which would then be absorbed by the retailer. “The reality is, this increase was brought on by a scarcity of supply,” Mr. Holland said, citing Hurricane Katrina as the short-term cause and a gaso- line dependant society as the long-term culprit. “We need to get off this horrible dependence we have on petroleum. People should see this as a sliver lin- ing, and an opportunity to make that change.” Instead of tax cuts, Mr. Holland said his government will spend this fall in- vestigating other ways to alleviate the financial strain high gas prices have put on middle- and low-income earners, and will also focus on ways to lessen gasoline dependency. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 9, 2005 PAGE 3 A/P 905-426-9611 • Get your license 4 months earlier • 25 Hrs.

Along with the charred table, more than $70 in beer bottles were removed from the beachfront park. Adding insult to injury, after the crew collected some of the bottles in cases for reimbursement, and went back to get the rest, someone had removed them from the parking lot. land swap between the Province and developers, trading land on the Oak Ridges Moraine for land in Seaton. The agreement is shrouded in secrecy, and Mayor Ryan says he has four times asked John Gerretsen, the minister of municipal affairs and housing, to provide details. He says he’s been given the runaround. “The problem that we have here is a provincial government that is imposing its will on a municipality and its people,” he says. Twelve people presented to council, reflecting a lack of consensus in the community on how, or if, Seaton should pro- ceed. Both David Grey Eagle Sandford and Harvey Kirsch slammed the provincial govern- ment for its lack of consultation regarding First Nations archeo- logical sites in Seaton, a position endorsed by council. Mr. Kirsch fears the 195 First Nations sites in the area “face the bulldozer by either proposal and we’re run- ning out of time.” He noted the Province’s plan for central Pick- ering “is more compact and less intrusive” than the City’s, as did Woodview Drive resident Terry Nuspl. “The town is developing the agricultural preserve,” she said. “The town is developing 1,000 more acres, and the town is put- ting people in two spots.” She urged council to support the Province’s plan and “see if we can put a compact city in one spot.” Councillors tabled their modi- fied Seaton plan. ✦ Residents from page 1 Residents raise concern over Seaton plans A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 9, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR A community hero makes a difference Roy Jones was killed for doing the right thing; staying silent is not an option S uperior Court Justice Donald Ferguson uttered the words this week: ‘Roy Jones is a hero.’ And the facts are undeniable, Mr. Jones is indeed a hero. It’s been almost six years now since he was killed in front of his Ajax home, shortly after returning from his job as a securi- ty guard at the former Metro East Trade Centre in Pickering. Mr. Jones was murdered for doing the right thing. He was hunted down on his street by two killers intent on keeping him from testifying in the case of a Pickering home invasion. Mr. Jones was trying to make his community a safer place. The final chapter in bringing his murderers to justice played out this week when Cosmo Jacobson, guilty of first- degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder, was sen- tenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years. Sean Hall was earlier found guilty of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and charges relating to the home invasion. He’s also serving a life sentence. The verdicts and sentences deliver a clear and important message: That our justice system won’t tolerate intimidation, or in this case the murder of a key witness, and that they’ll hold responsible anyone who attempts otherwise. It’s easy to imagine some have watched the events unfold these past few years and given second thought to what they’d do if left in the difficult spot of having to report or testify about a crime. But, more than ever we need to be vigilant. We need to do whatever we can to keep safe our streets and parks and schools and communities in general. Officers can’t do their jobs without our help. As the world becomes more and more violent, we must not let criminals prevail. We must work with police and within the judicial system to keep Ajax and Pickering safe. Our communities would be so much the richer for having more Roy Joneses amongst us. His death is a tremendous loss. He should be held up as an example of what one person can do to try and make things right. He should be held up as an example for us all. Roy Jones certainly is a hero. Transit manager points to great driving team To the editor: Re: ‘Flag bus drivers go above and beyond the call of duty’, Good Neighbours, Aug. 24. Jean Leach of Ajax related a very positive experience on the Flag Bus service earlier this month. We are particularly proud of our operator, Jerry Fudge, who had taken the extra step, above and beyond to ensure our customer’s safe accom- modation. Many of our employees do this kind of good deed daily without recognition and understand that good service is expected. However, when a customer cares enough to write and it is published, we know that the positive reflection also falls on many deserving transit employees. The News Advertiser has a positive approach and in par- ticular, the column Good Neighbours. Often the news media is criticized for the doom and gloom that steals headlines. Your column ensures that the good news stories get featured too and provide a perspective into the good deeds and great people of Durham.

Disaster underscores the need for government, personal readiness T he finger-pointing and anger over what most agree was a slow gov- ernment response to the Hurri- cane Katrina disaster continues. It’s sobering to see the world’s most powerful nation, a country with a big target on it given its many enemies, seemingly unprepared for something that was expected for days. If the U.S. dropped the ball, would Canada, Ontario, Durham fare any bet- ter? It’s a question I’ve asked myself again and again, and the answer is ‘no.’ That’s not a slam on government, just the reality of what occurs when an un- precedented event happens. The re- sponse has to be organized, and with local, regional, provincial and federal levels of government involved, confu- sion and red tape would almost surely be the order of the day. After the initial assessment of the problem, questions like, What needs to be done? and Who’s going to do it? must be answered quick- ly and communicated to all involved. Meanwhile, on the street there would be fear, panic and, as we’ve seen, loot- ers and other criminals ready to take advantage of the chaos. Imagine being left with no power, no communications, no water and no way out of the trouble area. Emergency preparedness is some- thing we don’t spend much time think- ing about as individuals. When disaster strikes, most people ask themselves, ‘what are we going to do?’ This is a question that should be asked ahead of time, so an emergency doesn’t leave you flailing. As the events in the U.S. have demonstrated, you can’t count on government at such times - you’re on your own. To start, have stored water and food in your house or apartment at all times. If you have a car, make sure the tank never falls below the halfway point. Al- ways have cash on you, and not a bunch of twenties or fifties, but small bills. Government must be prepared as well. As Hurricane Katrina approached, it should have been anticipated that Na- tional Guard troops, for example, would be required. At least 10,000 should have been on stand-by and ready to deploy as soon as the storm passed. In the cru- cial hours and days immediately after the hurricane, and as the situation dete- riorated in New Orleans, the guard had to be called up, assembled, equipped and deployed. It took too long. The events in the States should make us all think about preparedness. Blues artist Buddy Guy once sang, “there’s only three things that I’m sure of, taxes, death and trouble.” Expect the latter.

Being prepared isn’t a Big Easy Mike Ruta staff writer EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — Electrical upgrades, roof and window replacements and paving projects are amongst $21.7 million in planned improvements to Durham schools. For the 2005-06 school year, 132 building renewal projects will occur at 62 schools throughout the Dur- ham District School Board. Larger plans include roof and window re- placements and masonry work. “We will begin electrical up- grades, flooring and carpeting replacements within the upcom- ing weeks,” said Wendy Parke, the board’s communications manager. “As far as roof replacements, win- dow replacements, more major re- pairs, we will be waiting until kids are out of the school for a longer period of time, such as Christmas break or spring break.” Jack Massie, superintendent of facilities services, said about $4.5 million is earmarked for roof re- placements at schools including Hillsdale and College Hill public schools, O’Neill Collegiate and Vo- cational Institute and Central CI in Oshawa, and Thorah Central PS in Beaverton. “We’ve got a lot of money tied into windows,” said Mr. Massie. Some schools in need of such re- placements are R.S. McLaughlin CVI, Eastdale CVI and Adelaide McLaughlin PS in Oshawa and Bayview Heights PS in Pickering. “They’re the big ones,” said Mr. Massie. Dr. S.J. Phillips PS, Ritson PS and Village Union in Oshawa are getting boiler room upgrades and replace- ments. Scott Central in Uxbridge and Port Perry High School will have masonry repairs completed. According to the school board, renewal projects are made pos- sible by the Ministry of Education’s Good Places to Learn initiative, which in its first stage, is providing the Durham board with $2.48 mil- lion annually to support about $34 million in urgent and high-needs repairs. In addition to the $21.7 million in planned projects, $12 million was spent over the summer break on urgent and high-priority re- pairs at more than 30 schools. They included new roofs at Anderson CVI in Whitby and Glengrove PS in Pickering; partial roof replace- ments at Uxbridge Secondary School, Port Perry High, Village Union PS in Oshawa, Lord Elgin PS in Ajax, Sir. John A. Macdonald PS in Pickering and Meadowcrest PS in Whitby. Partial window replace- ments were made at O’Neill, Ajax High School, RH Cornish in Port Perry and Anderson CVI, Henry Street High School and Palmerston PS in Whitby. Brick repairs were made at O’Neill and G.L. Roberts CVI in Oshawa, West Lynde PS in Whitby, Lincoln Avenue PS in Ajax and Thorah Central PS. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 9, 2005 PAGE 7 A/P *O.A.C. only on your Sleep Better Card.

According to the Durham Regional Police, two months of summer are all it takes for drivers to forget about the speed limits in community safety zones, making September a prime time for re- medial lessons. “We always find that speeds are high the first week back, either people just forget or parents are rushing because they’re running late trying to get the kids there on time,” said Sgt. Jeff Galipeau of the DRPS Traffic Services branch. “Peo- ple really need to pay attention when it comes to the safety of our kids.” Speed limits in community safety zones range from 40 or 50 km/h in urban areas, to 80 or 90 km/h on provincial highways. The Highway Traffic Act allows for regular fines to be doubled in commu- nity safety zones, meaning a $52.50 ticket for driving 15 km over the limit jumps to $105, and a $353 ticket for careless driv- ing increases to a whopping $700. As part of Operation In the Zone, members of the Traffic Services branch will be joined by community police of- ficers and OPP officers for a week-long initiative targeting safety zones across Durham Region. This is the first year for the initiative, which netted 2,871 charges during similar campaigns in January and March 2005. Sgt. Galipeau also reminded Durham residents to be vigilant when it comes to school bus safety. New legislation in effect this year al- lows police to charge the owner of a vehicle if school bus drivers are only able to provide a plate number or vehicle de- scription. “It’s very unusual, it’s one of the few situations where the owner can be charged,” he said noting that the DRPS receives an average of five calls a week from school bus drivers reporting care- less drivers. “I hope it will make a differ- ence and deter people.” Motorists on both sides of the road are required to stop no closer than 20 metres from a school bus, when they see the stop sign arm and flashing red lights. Failure to do so results in a $2,000 fine and six demerit points.

The Oshawa-based Neu- tron Fitness and Sports Or- ganization recently took 24 Durham kids on a week- end trip to the Canadian Natural Nationals of Ms. Fitness Canada in Ottawa, where they met athletes and learned about ethics, drug-free sportsmanship and hard work. “The external is there, but it’s the end result,” said Sandra Mackey, Neutron’s president. “It’s the journey of how they got there. It’s the discipline, the educa- tion, the training.” The 24 kids and their guardians were chosen from the YWCA, the Ajax- based Girls Inc., Simcoe Hall Settlement House and the Christ Centre to attend the free weekend -- the tab was picked up by Neutron. Ms. Mackey, a supervisor with 911, and her husband, who works for the Durham police finding missing children, have seen a lot of kids who could use some guidance. “We see kids who have lots of potential, but aren’t being exposed to positive role models,” Ms. Mackey said. “Unfortunately there are a lot of kids in our re- gion that need help.” The body builders at the event are bus drivers, fire fighters, city workers -- regular people, Ms. Mack- ey said. “They talked about how their self esteem has im- proved,” she said. “Kids get to talk to them, get exposed to being around people with qualities you want to instill in kids.” Derek Sanderson, nine, said he loved seeing the body builders. “I just want to be like them,” he said of the body builders, who he loved having dinner with on the Saturday night. “That was really cool.” The group also got to meet and get autographs from some Ottawa Ren- egades football players. That was a highlight for Zoe Sumrall-Dodsworth, 8, who also learned that body builders are “neat and strong” and made her want to be an athlete. “All the athletes were showing what dedication and hard work can do,” said Angela Smith, sum- mer camp manager at the YWCA who went on the trip. “I don’t think the focus was on what they looked like.” The Neutron group also organizes body building competitions.

Message carries muscle with kids Zoe Sumrall-Dodsworth was among a large group of Durham boys and girls to travel to Ottawa recently, where they learned about ethics, sportsmanship and hard work.

PICKERING — Seatbelts probably prevented serious injuries in a head-on colli- sion Friday evening in Pick- ering, police said. Whitby OPP said the crash occurred on Hwy. 7, near We stney Road, around 5 p.m. when a motorist pulled into oncoming lanes to pass a ve- hicle in front of him. Officers arriving on scene discovered no serious injuries. They say proper use of seatbelts prevented the crash from becoming life-threaten- ing. Police charged a 62-year- old man from Hornby with a Highway Traffic Act infrac- tion. Seatbelts play role in Pickering crash AJAX — The residents of Nicholls Court are banding together to help one of their own. A street sale is being held tomorrow, Sept. 10, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., with the pro- ceeds to help the family of Scott Kovacs, an 18-year-old who suffered a severe spinal injury in an industrial acci- dent in July. “We’ve organized group sales before, but nothing of this magnitude or for such an important reason,” says court resident Judy Perkins. “Many of us have been neighbours for 18 years, our children have grown up together and we’re like an extended family. It’s natural to want to help.” Adds Lori Taylor, “Our heart goes out to the family. Their lives have been turned upside down and Scott needs all of our support. We invite the whole town to come to the sale.” A trust account has been set up at TD Canada Trust at Westney Road and Hwy. 2, and all proceeds will go into the account, Ms. Taylor adds. Nicholls Court runs north off Brennan Drive, oppo- site Westney Heights Public School. Street sale aids Ajax accident victim durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 9, 2005 PAGE 11 A/P Farmers in Ajax and Pickering becoming a scarce breed This is the second in a four-part series looking at the state of farm- ing in Ajax and Pickering now and examining what the future holds. By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM — More than 170 years ago Denis O’Connor left Ireland for a new life in Ajax. He bought some land, built a house and started to farm – just as so many others in the area had. Over the years most of those farms have turned into subdivi- sions and shopping centres, but the O’Connor family farm remains at Rossland and Lakeridge roads. Sean and Kelly O’Connor are two of a dying breed in the area. Ac- cording to Statistics Canada, the number of farms in Ajax decreased from 28 in 1996 to 18 in 2001. Kelly O’Connor doesn’t need sta- tistics to tell him farms are disap- pearing. “I can probably count eight farms that houses are built on now,” he said. Many of those farms were part of a buffer that stretched along Rossland Road from Harwood Av- enue to Coronation Road in Whitby – the O’Connor property lies in the middle. They rented some of those fields for crops but now the houses in Ajax extend east to Audley Road. In Pickering, the number of farms decreased from 111 in 1996 to 72 in 2001. Ed Shiers and his son Mark farm in Pickering at Sideline 26 and Taunton Road. He’s seen a lot of changes in his nearly 30 years there. “It’s gone from a lot of small farms like myself to basically big farms who come in from outside the area,” he said, adding not many farmers live in the area. “They either moved out or gave up the farm.” Councillor Rick Johnson repre- sents rural Pickering in Ward 3 and farms near Brougham. He believes there are only a handful of farmers who rely solely on farming for their income. Much of the land, he said, is farmed by cash croppers who own land around Durham. Both Mr. Shiers and his son have jobs off the farm. “We don’t have enough here to full-time farm,” he said. They cur- rently have soybeans and corn on their 150 acres. The Shiers don’t own their farm, as it’s part of the provincially-owned Seaton lands. They’ve rented since moving there. Unlike Ajax, the decline in farm- ing in Pickering can be attributed to not only development but also to expropriations. “(It started) 33 years ago when they expropriated the lands for the airport and the lands for Seaton,” Coun. Johnson said of the decline. In 1972, the federal government expropriated land to build an air- port in northwest Pickering. The Province followed suit by expropri- ating the land to the south. Coun. Johnson said many fami- lies moved to other communities to farm instead of farming on rented land. He said its harder to survive on rented land because it doesn’t give the farmer any collateral if he needs a loan to expand the business or make it through a bad year. The Shiers love farming, even if they need other jobs to be able to do it, and they hope to continue doing it for years to come. In their case it won’t be commodity prices or the challenges of farming that tell them when it’s time to stop, it will be the Province. It is currently completing a development plan for Seaton that could see a subdivision built on the Shiers farm. Mr. Shiers said he hasn’t been told when or if his family has to leave the property they’ve called home for decades. In addition to decreasing the land base for agriculture, development over the years has meant a decrease in farm support in the area. Mr. Shiers said the farm support in the area left about 10 years ago, including a tractor dealership in Brougham and the mill in White- vale. As well, the co-op in Clare- mont has changed what it sells, no longer catering to farmers. “It’s still there, but it’s different than it used to be,” Mr. Shiers said. Now local farmers are travelling to Port Perry, Sunderland or even as far as Beaverton to get what they need. Mr. O’Connor said there used to be an agriculture business in Brooklin too. “If we have to get something fixed Home Depot doesn’t carry tractor parts,” Mr. O’Connor said. “You spend a lot of time (driving back and forth) if you break down.” Next: Living in the urban shadow. newsdurhamregion.com searchkeyword: urbanfarmer Farming in perpetuity DURHAM — Those who want to save Pickering’s Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve have “a uto- pian view of agriculture,” says the president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. “(Their view) could more ac- curately be described as valuing agricultural land more for its open or greenspace than its commercial viability,” wrote Ron Bonnett in a letter last June to MPP Maria Van Bommel, parliamentary secretary to the minister of municipal affairs. In a recent interview, Mr. Bon- nett talked about how some people don’t understand the business of agriculture. “The reality is a few cows, a few chickens, you can’t make a living on that,” he said. “You have to have a critical mass to make a decent standard of living.” In the letter, Mr. Bonnett argues Pickering’s agricultural communi- ties were “emasculated” when the land was expropriated by the Prov- ince in 1972. “When they expropriated the land they ended up with farm- ers moving off the land... a lot of the support left the area,” he said. “When you pull a chunk of land (out of farming), you affect the prof- itability of the remaining farms.” Murray and Eleanor Nash, who used to farm on the preserve, be- lieve the area can still support a viable agricultural community, if producers knew for sure the area wouldn’t be developed. The land was sold in 1999, some of it with easements designating it agricultural in perpetuity. The City of Pickering removed some of those easements as it wants to develop the southern area of the preserve, while the Province has repeatedly indicated the preserve should stay agricultural, including the land in its protective greenbelt. Bryan Kozman, director of the North Pickering Land Exchange, believes designating it agriculture creates that security. “I understand a land-use plan alone is not the magic solution... other elements need to come to play,” he said. The Nashes would like to see programs to help create a vibrant agriculture community in the pre- serve. “My guess is Toronto is full of small-scale farmers who’ve come from across the world who would love to have a small piece of prop- erty to produce food,” Ms. Nash said. She said people just need a little vision. Her husband agrees looking at non-traditional farming opera- tions, such as market gardening, is needed. “Retail value-added crops are what would be important compo- nents of trying to make a valuable agriculture community here,” Mr. Nash said. When the two purchased their home they also wanted to purchase the farmland around it but even at agricultural prices they weren’t able to.

He and his brother Sean aren’t sure how much longer they can survive in their location at Rossland and Lakeridge roads. They’ve seen the farmland around them turn into residential developments. Now, they are one of the few farms left. A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo Ed Shiers has been farming in Pickering for nearly 30 years. He’s seen the industry change as farm- ers moved away and farm supports closed.

On Aug. 22, more than 1,400 stu- dents started school at the Whitby Skills Training Centre and, accord- ing to John Woodward, the centre’s principal and dean, space is tight. The campus currently serves 1,800 full-time and 6,000 part-time stu- dents. “Within the confines we have right now, we can’t add anymore (programs),” said Mr. Woodward. “We’re holding back on what the potential is because of space.” The Whitby campus opened about 13 years ago when centres around the region were amalgam- ated. “I remember standing back and thinking how are we ever going to fill this place,” said Mr. Woodward. But, by the time it received a front addition four years ago, its extra 600 seats were filled right away. To day, the facility is so full, old programs have to be phased out to introduce new ones. “Shop space is what we need right now,” said Mr. Woodward. About two years ago, the cam- pus started working on expan- sion plans and has been trying to find funding avenues ever since, he said. Phase one of the propos- al would add 40,000 square feet of shop space and, with parking, would cost about $6 million. Mr. Woodward said he hopes it will be ready by September 2007. A second phase would be for a second floor to the centre’s front section. That $8 million addition would add 20,000 square feet. Mr. Woodward explained its space would be institutionalized, not industrial, which is why it’s more pricey than phase one. Mr. Woodward said expansion proposals have been continuously sent to the Province over the last couple of years. “We’ll keep chasing,” he joked. But, in the meantime, the cam- pus is also looking at renting space. Mr. Woodward said trades have re- ceived capital funds over the last three years, which has been great, but the money’s gone directly into apprenticeship programs and can’t be used for expansion.

The Oxford Learning program works on teaching students in grades 1-12 “How to Learn” and to become better reflective and critical thinkers. Skills such as better focusing and concentration, organization and time management skills, study skills, and power listening enable students of all ages to meet their true potential in school. At the same time, Oxford helps children improve their reading, writing, French, spelling and math skills. It is a wholesome approach that enables students to experience success and re-new their motivation to succeed. Better grades and improved self-confidence…that is the Oxford way. The first step is to have each student take a Dynamic Assessment that will indicate current academic levels, potential, learning style as well as how they deal with problems they can’t solve. The results from the assessment, along with parent input, schoolwork and report cards, enable Oxford to design an individual program that allows each student to use their strengths to overcome any weak areas. From there, a variety of options are available for each student that are designed to fit both your child and your lifestyle. Contact the Oxford Learning Centre in Pickering for further information. Oxford’s Little Readers Academy teaches children ages 3-6 to read and write using phonics, understand math and numbers, as well as skills they need to be successful in a school setting. This is done in a fun, active learning environment with a low pupil-teacher ratio. It all starts with a phone call and no-obligation visit to the Pickering centre, which is overseen by Centre Director Tom Hawks. See for yourself how Oxford can make a positive permanent change in your child’s learning. www.oxfordlearning.com From Concept To Completion Unit 3-1080 Brock Rd.

The YWCA began its service in Dur- ham with the philanthropic gift of Ad- elaide House, from R.S. and Adelaide McLaughlin. Since 1945, Adelaide House has been a shelter for women and chil- dren in need, providing accommoda- tion, meals and counselling. To recognize the many contributions that the McLaughlin family made to the community, works by Alexandra Luke, a McLaughlin and member of Canada’s famous art group the Painter’s Eleven, will be displayed at the tea. In addition to Adelaide House, the YWCA of Durham aims to provide op- portunities for women’s self-develop- ment through volunteerism, recreation, educational programs and supportive housing.

Good question, and probably one that many homeowners do not even consider for various reasons. While it is true that architects are required by law to be involved in projects that are large or complex, they can also be of great benefi t on those projects for which care, creativity and judgment can make our day-to-day lives more comfortable. Our homes, where we retreat to relax after a hard day at work, and where we gather for important family events, deserve special attention. An architect takes care of your interests and helps you navigate through the complex building process, by dealing with permits, builders and fi nally through construction. Determining what is allowed by zoning or how to go about obtaining a variance are two steps you might want professional assistance with. Imaginative design and innovative solutions that respond to your particular way of living are just two of the benefi ts that result from the collaboration between the architect and client. Each project is unique and an architect can help you to successfully address various design issues. For example, an architect will consider the following questions: • How can we best take advantage of a particular view to the garden? • What features on the custom home can enhance your way of life? • How can we liven up the home with more light? • How can we create more multi-functional space for your growing family? Why hiring an architect makes good sense • What can we do to enlarge your home while being sensitive to the site? • What materials, fi nishes and colours would work best? • Will you get more use out of a garden with an enclosed porch or gazebo? Fees for projects vary, depending on the level of service you are looking for and the complexity of the project you are considering. Full architectural services generally consist of preliminary design, design development, building permit drawings, tendering and then construction review. A consultation with an architect when you are beginning to consider your project may be a worthwhile way to begin the design process. Clearly defi ning your project objectives can help focus your efforts and lead to a successful project. To ni Gadzovski is a Pickering, Ontario based architect. The fi rm of GADZOVSKi ARCHiTECT provides architectural services for residential, commercial and institutional clients.

Pickering Beside National Sports 905-839-8399 Garaga and Autograph Door Systems have just launched two new garage doors, the Alterna and Alterna II. These products will appeal to homeowners looking for a simple yet convenient aesthetic garage door. Durable and reliable each Garaga garage door is made of hot-dipped galvanized steel to which is applied a primer and fi nish coat to insure a brilliant rust free fi nish. The addition of the Alterna series compliments the residential product line from Garaga with outstanding quality and price. It is the ideal choice when minimal insulation is needed; for instance an unheated garage, ATV shed or a boat house or storage. It’s the perfect solution. Dan Hill, an Autograph Door Systems spokesperson, mentioned to us that when a consumer chooses this door series, they will experience all the advantages of a steel door without the complications associated with the “all wood” design. Furthermore, Mr. Hill had this to say: “Steel has a number of advantages. It is cost effective for one, and the wood grain fi nish offers the pleasing wood pattern aspect without the tremendous expense. Most importantly it will last for years to come.” The new Alterna door series are available in four colours: Ice White, and the ever popular earth tones; Desert Sand, Metro Brown and Claystone. Both door models are two inches thick and come with rectangular embossed patterns (also named “Colonial”) on the outside. The Alterna is non-insulated product, while its sister Alterna II is polystyrene insulated giving an R Value of 6.6. There are also a variety of window designs available which add an aesthetically pleasing look to your home. The equivalents of this series for the industrial and commercial sectors are models G-8000 and G-8500. They offer the same durability and reliability features as mentioned above. Garaga is a company fi rmly committed to the quality of their products and has earned the reputation as the leader in innovation, dependability and complete customer satisfaction. Their motto is: “Garaga, a choice you’ll never regret!” And they stand up to this 100 percent. Garaga is a Canadian family owned company and is one of the leading sectional garage door manufacturers in Canada. They have two state-of-the-art plants located in Barrie (ON) and St-Georges (QC). For more information we invite you to visit their web site www.garaga.com or call Dan Hill at 905-686-6195.

Selects from the U.S. in pool play. Juniors at their worst in 10-1 pre-season drubbing by visiting Bowmanville Eagles PICKERING — Fortunately for the Pickering Panthers, exhibition losses don’t count in the standings. The OHA Ontario Provincial Ju- nior ‘A’ Hockey League squad fell to 0-4 in the pre-season after de- livering their worst effort thus far -- a 10-1 stinker to the Bowmanville Eagles, which swept both ends of a home-and-home exhibition series. The Eagles were victorious 3-1 in Bowmanville on Sept. 1. The Panthers played their final pre-season contest against the Capi- tal District (CD) Selects of New York State at the complex on Thursday night, with the result unavailable at press time. Panthers’ head coach John Wind- er notes the losses are worrisome, with the regular season set to begin Sunday on the road against the North York Rangers. “You’re always concerned,” says Winder of his team’s pre-season fu- tility. Winder though, is perhaps more worried with having to plug some new, untested players into his line- up as the team has lost two players and possibly more to the Ontario Hockey League ranks. Winder con- firmed Tuesday that defenceman Ky le Van de Bospoort will start the season with the Barrie Colts. The same goes for Marcus Carroll who has enjoyed a strong camp with the Owen Sound Attack. A third player, Phil McIlhone, seems destined to start the season in an Oshawa Gen- erals uniform. One other forward, Cody Smith, is still in the Bramp- ton Battalion camp and is currently nursing a shoulder injury. It should be known in two weeks whether Smith will stick with the Battalion. As for Tuesday night’s lopsided loss, Winder notes it was a wholly sub-par effort by his charges. He gave full marks to Bowmanville, which recorded its sixth consecu- tive pre-season victory. “Offensively, they really took it to us,” says Winder. “Our play was awful. Our defence was inexperi- enced (with four rookie blue-liners in the lineup) and it showed. Bow- manville is a powerful team. They’re ready to go and they took it to us good.” If 40 minutes of hockey were all that counted in the final score, the Panthers would have been in fine shape. Pickering and Bowmanville played to a scoreless tie after the first period, with the Eagles outscoring the Panthers 2-1 in the final frame. It was the second period, how- ever, that the Panthers would like to forget. The visitors scored eight un- answered goals, including a flurry of four within a two-minute span. The Panthers were woefully outshot 54-26 in the contest. Defenceman John Soames scored the Panthers’ lone goal, on the power play with 9:12 remaining in the third. Andrew Dissanayake earned an assist. Panthers’ winless string continues Merle Robillard/ News Advertiser photo Pickering Panthers’ Greg Riggs, right, looks to avoid an impending hit by Bowmanville Eagles’ Cory Hesson during junior ‘A’ pre-season action at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Tuesday night. The Panthers were pummelled 10-1. Wa r d, Jones come to Pickering after trade with Cobourg Cougars By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — The Cobourg Cougars’ loss is the Pickering Pan- thers’ gain. The Panthers picked up a pair of veteran forwards last week in A.J. Ward and Chris Jones in a cash deal with the Cougars of the OHA On- tario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League’s East Conference. The 20-year-olds are glad to be in Pickering, which has a corps of veteran players. For both players, the trade represented a fresh start. “I’m happy to be here. I was happy when the trade went down. I needed a change of scenery,” says Ward, a Whitby resident who spent the last three seasons in a Cougars’ uniform. “I wanted to be with a dif- ferent team closer to Toronto. That’s why I chose to come to Pickering. I wanted to come to Pickering.” Jones, a resident of Grafton, just east of Cobourg, concurred a change in scenery was also necessary. He’s a big fan of the style of play in the league’s South Conference, which relies more on speed and toughness than the East. “I would have went anywhere, but this worked out for me. It’s a different division and it’s a different style of hockey,” says Jones, a rugged 6-foot-4 right-winger who played the past four seasons in Cobourg. “There are some fast players (in the South Conference) who can move the puck.” Ward and Jones both have a posi- tive first impression of the Panthers’ organization and their teammates. “There’s a good attitude on this team and that’s where it all starts,” says Jones, who hopes to use his size to bring a physical, intimidating presence to the Panthers’ lineup. Ward says he’s willing to do any- thing required to help the Panthers win. “I want to do just as much as I can. I want to score as many goals as I can. As long as the team does well in the end, that’s all that matters,” says the centre who scored 36 points last season. Panthers’ head coach John Wind- er notes the two veterans are still gelling with their new teammates and the new systems, which will take time. “They’re still getting used to our team. They’re still feeling them- selves out, so we’ll have to be patient with them,” says Winder. New Panthers forwards glad to pull on new uniforms Guerrieri drives to two fourths in Ohio Pickering racer takes over third in drivers’ standings PICKERING — Pickering race car driver Chris Guerrieri vaulted into third place in the drivers’ stand- ings after two solid finishes in the Formula Ford Zetec Cooper Tires Championship Series stop at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington recently. Guerrieri finished fourth in both races, thus increasing his point total to 148, two points in front of fourth-place Jason Byers. Guerrieri, however, is well back of series lead- er Jay How- ard, of Great Britain, who has 278. S tarting seventh in the first race, Guerrieri was able to overtake the sixth-place starter with- in the first few laps. While passing a car, a small piece of that car’s body fell off and the projectile lodged itself into the aluminum wing on the front of the Guerrieri car. Although it af- fected the aerodynamic package of the car, Guerrieri was able to hold on to fourth place to finish less than one second behind the third-place car. During the second race, trouble with the front wing of Guerrieri’s car played into the results again. Going into turn 1 of the opening lap Guerrieri made a bold move from his fourth-place starting position only to be forced into his team- mate, Howard, ultimately bend- ing the front wing. With the wing nowhere near the proper angle to handle the many corners, Guerrieri was forced to drive a crippled car. Lasting the 20 remaining laps Guerrieri was passed by only one other driver who ultimately had to give up the position when Guerrieri put on the pressure in the closing laps and forced his opponent to make an error and spin out in turn 1 during the last lap. The next event for the Formula Ford Zetec Series is at the Virginia International Speedway in Alton, Virginia Oct. 8 and 9.

Pickering peewees silver medallists at provincials Mississauga North Tigers beat Red Sox PICKERING — The Pickering Red Sox major peewee ‘AAA’ rep baseball team’s season ended with a tinge of silver at the Ontario Baseball Association’s Provincial ‘AAA’ Championship in Ajax over the Labour Day weekend. The Red Sox climbed into the championship game against the number-one ranked Mississauga North Tigers, losing 8-4. The Ti- gers were the only team to beat Pickering in the double-knockout tournament. In earlier play, the Tigers beat Pickering 8-3. The Sox advanced to the final with victories over the Windsor Expos (3-1), Toronto Playgrounds (7-3), and the host Ajax Spartans (4-1). Other teams at the OBA cham- pionships were the London Bad- gers, Newmarket Hawks and the Waterloo Tigers. The silver medal caps an excit- ing summer for the team of 13- year-olds, who complied a 71-14 record with 751 runs scored and 229 against. The Sox are the East- ern Ontario Baseball Association (EOBA) champions for the regu- lar season and playoffs. Pickering won tournament championships in Brampton and Les Braves du Coin in Gatineau, Que. The team finished as finalists at the Mis- sissauga Southwest, Vaughan and Pickering tournaments.

Ajax-Pickering squads 2-0 in league play DURHAM — Ajax-Pickering Dolphins Football Club teams outworked the Markham Raiders on Labour Day to sweep all three games. The club’s tyke squad scored an impressive 30-13 win, while the atoms and peewees blew the roof off the Raiders, winning by scores of 60-0 and 64-0, respectively. All three Ajax-Pickering squads improved to 2-0 in the Central Ontario Minor Football League standings with the victories. The games were the home open- ers for the Dolphins and were played at Kinsmen Park in Pickering on Monday. All three Dolphins’ squads are in Burlington on Sunday to face the Stampeders. In the peewee game, Dolphins’ touchdowns were scored by Kyle Goffe, Jordan Nguyen and Charlton Elliott, all with two, Tristan Garnett and Jordan Oram, each with one. Placekicker Derek Williams was a perfect 8-for-8 on converts, adding 16 points to his league-leading kick- ing ratio. Special teams scored twice as Goffe and Nguyen followed their lead blocks into the end zone. Offensive linemen Ian Tobias, Kirk Thurston and Kyle Wasson all supplied strong games, allowing the running backs productive yardage on each play. Receivers Delino Smith and Ste- phen Sampson ran precise skilled routes, combining with quarter- backs Andrew Lim, Derek Williams and Mikhael Cadiz for yardage. The Dolphins’ defensive ‘Teal Curtain’ was in full control in the game, led by lineman Chee Mad- uekwe who reigned supreme. Line- backers Shane Locke, Charlie Tak, Sean Carter and Jed Reid continu- ally frustrated the opposition. Andy Horodnyk, Rob Sinclair and Reid snagged interceptions. In the atom contest, the Dolphins took control early and piled on the points in the rout. Quarterback Jeff McIlravey scored on a quarterback keeper in the opening quarter. The running backs took over in the sec- ond quarter as Shaq Lawrence and fullback Cole Tudor each scored twice. McIlravey fired a 53-yard touchdown pass to receiver Kurlan Cadet to end the half. Quarterback Mike Stobbart ran 58 yards for a touchdown to set the tone for the second half. Tudor followed the blocking of fullbacks Dustin Kaupp and Keldyn Ahlstedt for his third touchdown of the game. In the fourth quarter, with the Dol- phins leading 46-0, defensive corner Connor Patterson scored on an in- terception. Cadet scored one more major to complete the shutout. Offensive players of the game were wide receivers Kevin Dubra, Ajay Thomas, Roynelle Meredith, Cadet, Darryl Gonzales and Marco Mertsis for clearing the way for teammates to score. Defensively, the Dolphins allowed only two Markham first downs. In the tyke contest, Ajax-Pickering and Markham traded touchdowns in the opening quarter. The Dol- phins, however, exploded with a 21- point second quarter to lead 30-7 at the half. Running backs James Solakis and Andre Wright teamed up with quarterback Damien White to account for all of the Dolphins’ scoring. Offensive linemen Griffen Palmer, Hayden McNamee, Hasson Abbas and Austin Reed were superb in the first half. Cornerbacks Justyn McIntosh and Spencer Thomas and ends Nickolas Tezak and Brad Sta- ite contained the run, limiting the Raider gains to only a few yards. In the second half, quarterback Rion Johnson led the offence on two long drives chewing up the clock and keeping the ball away from the Raiders. All three Dolphins’ teams trounced the Clarington Ti-Cats two weeks ago. The peewees were 43-0 victors, the atoms were 48-6 win- ners and the tykes pitched a 51-0 shutout over Clarington. Dolphins maul Markham Raiders in football home openers Everyone’s chasing Durham Chiefs Pickering Pirates hope to get in the way in OSSBA playoffs DURHAM — The Durham Chiefs have compiled one of the best seasons in the five-year his- tory of the Ontario Senior Select Baseball Association. Beginning this weekend, they will find out if they can call it the best, period. After set- ting a new league stan- dard with 22 wins, against only four losses, and winning their first OSSBA tournament, the Chiefs hope to complete the trifecta by claiming their first playoff cham- pionship. The Pickering Pirates, who fin- ished fourth in the Walker Divi- sion with a 12-14 record, will be the first to stand in the way when their best-of-three series plays out this weekend. The Pirates host Game 1 tomorrow at Kir- key Field (3:30 p.m.), followed by Games 2 and, if necessary, Game 3 Sunday at Oshawa’s Kinsmen Stadium beginning at 11 a.m. It will be no easy task for the Pirates, who were swept by the Chiefs in the first round last year and dropped all four regular sea- son encounters this year. The Chiefs are led offensively by Colin Cockburn, who won the league’s triple crown with a .557 batting average, 11 home runs and 35 RBIs, and Graig Andrew, who batted .524 with six ding- ers and 28 RBI. Mike Ovsonka was dangerous with both his bat (.424, 22 runs) and his arm (3-0, 2.33 ERA), while Ryan Fraser (3- 1, 2.80) gives the Chiefs a potent one-two punch from the mound. The Pirates struggled through injuries this summer after a great inaugural campaign in 2004. They are led by Mike Minarik, Romeo Persaud, Jaymin Parmar and Phil Lacombe. It’s an all-Durham battle in the other Walker Division semifinal, too, as the Whitby Chiefs (13-13) and the Oshawa Talons (13-13) hook up. In the Jenkins Division, the defending champion Richmond Hill Phoenix (19-7) face the Mis- sissauga Stars (7-18), while the Burlington Bulls (19-7) meet the Bloor Jays (10-16) in the first round.

Rated: PG-13 Einar Gilkyson, a tough- skinned, retired rancher is still in shock from his only son’s death a decade ago. Gilkyson has let his ranch fall into ruin along with his marriage. Now, Gilkyson spends his days caring only for his last trusted friend, Mitch. Then the very person he blames for his son’s ac- cident comes to town, his daughter-in-law Jean. Broke, on the run and with a girl named Griff who she swears is Gilkyson’s grand-daugh- ter, suddenly, Gilkyson’s quiet life is turned upside down. But slowly 11-year- old Griff’s curiosity about Western life, and her long- ing for family and a father figure, begin to chip away at the stone that has become Gilkyson’s heart. The Man Director: Les Mayfield Starring: Samuel L. Jack- son and Eugene Levy Rated: PG-13 A case of mistaken iden- tity forces the mismatched duo of Federal Agent Der- rick Vann and dental sup- ply salesman Andy Fidler to team up to pull off a sting operation and solve the murder of Vann’s partner. Also opening today is ‘The Exorcism of Emily Rose’. Arts centre winds down exhibit of famous family with special events By David Stell News Editor DURHAM — The Thom- sons are still in residence at the Durham West Arts Centre, but time is running out on their visit. So, the arts centre is up- ping the ante for the final weeks of the special ex- hibition. Tomorrow, the centre is expanding on its exhibit of artwork, infor- mation and memorabilia of Tom Thomson’s family in an event called ‘What the Thomsons Read’. To- gether with two found- ing members of Lichen, a journal of the work of local poets, writers, and visual artists, the staff of DWAC is giving readings from books owned by the famous painter’s family. Lucy Brennan and Gwynn Scheltema, of Li- chen, join Angie Little- field and Gary Faulkner, of DWAC, to read short selections from favourites such as Byron, Dickens, Sir Walter Scott and Robbie Burns. “We’re quite thrilled to be in our first Lichen collaboration,” Littlefield says. She describes the event as a chance to step back in time and imagine yourself at the Thomson hearth, lis- tening to the poems and tales that fed the imagina- tion of a talented family. A highlight for some, she says, will be the chance to actually handle some of the historic books. Lit- tlefield has offered this chance at other talks she’s held and has several pairs of white gloves for holding the books to soak up their history. “People really liked that,” she says. “There’s a sense of awe.” One aspect to look for are inscriptions from one family member to another written inside. In a leather- bound edition of Tenny- son’s poetry, look for a spe- cial inscription son George made to his mother and father when he gave them the book. During the readings, look for a singing perfor- mance by Faulkner, an ac- complished tenor. The readings are Sept. 10, at 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. at the centre, 72B Old Kings- ton Rd. in Pickering Vil- lage. The event coincides with the Pickering Village Fall Festival. In the days ahead, there’s more opportunity to visit the exhibition, which in- clude three original Tom Thomson art works. But, on Friday, Sept. 23 at 5 p.m. the exhibition finishes with closing ceremonies. It will feature noted musicologist, historian and performer, Ian Bell. Bell will enhance his lecture, ‘Music in the Thomson Home’, with sev- eral musical instruments, including a mandolin that was a favourite of Tom Thomson, Littlefield ex- plains. Cost of admission for the 7 p.m. event is $10 for members and $15 for non- members. Finally, the Pickering To w nship Historical Soci- ety and DWAC partner for ‘The Thomsons of Dur- ham’ bus tour leaving the centre at 9 p.m. on Thurs- day, Sept. 29. The tour is a chance to experience the autumn rolling hills, stone houses, and stories of the Thomsons’ pioneer days in Pickering Township fol- lowed by refreshments on the DWAC terrace. Cost is $40 for DWAC members and $50 for non- members. For more information, call the Durham West Arts Centre at 905-686-7697, or visit the website at www. dwac.ca.

There’s people coming into the industry and bringing in their own flavor.” The trio, which features Mercer along with two sisters Rhonda LaFlamme and Angela Drover, formed four years ago after attending the same church. “The funny thing was the first time we sang together, our husbands couldn’t believe the blend of harmony,” Mercer says. “People will say, ‘You have to be sisters because there’s no harmony like family harmony.’” Mercer also says the trio, nominated for three Covenant awards (Canada’s Gospel Music awards) a few years back, received bookings before even forming the group, whose name comes from a Biblical scripture. She also says each member is able to juggle schedules between music and family life. All are from Clarington. “When we started we were all stay-at- home moms,” Mercer says. “We never drew a wage from our gospel music from our touring, everything we made went right back into the business.” Aside from the nominations, Will- ing Heart, also recently placed third in a New York City gospel competi- tion. Mercer says the band seems to get more exposure Stateside than at home. “They were all over us,” she says with a laugh. “It was really interesting. I think it’s tougher in your own area.” And while some people might be content to sing weekly in church, Will- ing Heart feels the need to do more. “We believe it’s just something that’s in us,” Mercer says. “We believe it’s our destiny and we believe that God has called us to do it. I can’t ever say that the group will ever fizzle. “I wouldn’t sing any other way,” she adds. “I would never go secular be- cause it’s in my heart to give a message. It’s in all of us. We feel really strongly about that.” The women write their own music. Willing Heart have a few shows booked later this year but are starting to toy with the idea of making a third album. Mercer also says some labels have been interested, but the trio will persevere no matter what happens. “It’s a difficult task but it can be done if you’re diligent and if you have God in your corner.” See MacNeil’s weekly online music roundup at: newsdurhamregion.com searchkeyword: durhammusicroundup Jason MacNeil is a freelance writer in Durham Region.
