The local energy distributor is one of six Ontario companies delivering energy conservation under the powerWISE name. The group is delivering more than $70 million in comprehensive electric- ity conservation programs over a three-year period. In the first quarter of this year, more than $3 million was spent on programs geared to helping customers con- serve electricity. One of those programs was the corporate support provided by Veridian for the City of Picker- ing’s partners for climate protec- tion project, which will see the development of a comprehensive greenhouse gas emission reduc- tion plan for the community. Veridian serves customers in Ajax, Pickering, Clarington, Uxbridge, and Port Hope, among others.

The 13-year-old Pickering resident found out last summer she had cancer. In fact, Jen had the same form of cancer the legendary Mr. Fox had all those years ago. The same cancer that caused him to lose his leg before he began his famous run across Canada; the same cancer that he died from. Without events such as the Terry Fox Run, Jen might have lost her leg to can- cer too. Jen had her last chemotherapy treat- ment May 30, “she was deemed to be clean,” said her father John Fox. Before Jen got sick, he said the fam- ily pretty much went about living their everyday lives, not overly aware of Terry Fox or cancer fundraisers. But that’s all changed. “Before she would have lost her leg,” Mr. Fox said. “That’s when you realize how important is it to raise money.” Councillors disagree on which project needs priority for grant By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Last month’s severe storm and flood have meant a change in priorities for bridge work in Picker- ing. At Monday’s executive committee meeting, a motion to set Palmer and Michell bridges as the City’s high- est priority for the Canada-Ontario Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund (COMRIF) was lost in favour of a bridge on Sandy Beach Road south of Parkham Crescent. Several councillors cited the recent storm and resulting flooding around the Sandy Beach Road area as the reason for the change. “There is no question in my mind that Palmer and Michell need to be redecked,” said Ward 2 City Council- lor Doug Dickerson. “If I was in Ward 3 I would move heaven and hell to go with the motion that’s been moved here tonight, but I’m not in Ward 3 and I’ve given my word to resi- dents that I will do all I can to allevi- ate flooding in Krosno Creek and the Sandy Beach Road area.” Wa rd 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson and Ward 3 City Council- lor David Pickles brought forward the motion to put the deck replacements of Palmer and Michell bridges as the top priority for Intake 2 of the COMRIF program, which funds infrastructure projects through a three-way agree- ment between the provincial, federal and municipal levels of government. (Staff had brought forward the recommendation that either the two bridges or Sandy Beach Road be listed as council’s highest priority). The two bridges had been submit- ted in Intake 1 but weren’t approved; Pickering’s share of the project, $236,867, was included in the 2005 budget. LINING UP SOME AFTERNOON SOLITUDE Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Jim Nelson and son Liam tried their luck last week on a fishing trip at the end of Liverpool Road. Pickering man tells of the many benefits of therapeutic riding By Jason Chamberlain Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — Putting a disabled person up on a horse as part of their rehabilitation may sound strange, but history has proven it to be an effective way of promoting both physical and mental well-being. And the practice is so popular that there are organizations in place throughout the world to support it. In Ontario, therapeutic riding is guided by the Ontario Therapeutic Riding Association (OnTRA). “We act on behalf of 40 riding cen- tres in Ontario,” said Peter Hender- son, president of the association and a Pickering resident. “They offer hors- es to people with disabilities. It com- bines horseback riding with therapy, and it helps with balance, strength and muscles, and hand-eye co-ordi- nation. It’s like normal therapy, but they make it fun.” OnTRA partners with the different centres across the province in order to provide better service to the riders. In the Durham area, there are centres in Uxbridge, Port Perry, Ashburn and Port Hope. “We offer educational programs and clinics, we teach instructors how to be better, and we assist in certifica- tion. We’ve raised about $2 million that have all gone into therapeutic riding.” Close contact is ensured between riders and their instructors. “We work with 4,000 people a year across Ontario, about 100 of those in Durham Region, And the centres use about 4,000 volunteers in total,” said Mr. Henderson. “It’s usually a one-on-one relationship, and there’s always at least one volunteer with a rider, sometimes three depending on the severity of their condition.” With so many people taking part, Mr. Henderson says he believes there are many reasons therapeutic riding is appealing. “It’s about self-confidence,” he said. United Way likes taste of kickoff Annual campaign target set at $1.9 million; Pickering support needed By Jason Chamberlain Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — The United Way sure knows how to set the bar high. The Ajax-Pickering-Uxbridge chap- ter kicked off its new fundraising campaign on the weekend, with an event designed to bring the commu- nity closer together while announcing its fundraising goal for the upcoming campaign. “It’s $1.9 million,” John Wiersma, the 2005 campaign chairman said. “That’s an increase certainly, and it’s going to be a lot of work. We’re asking everyone to do a little bit more, and we’re asking people that haven’t been involved before to get involved in this year’s campaign. With that sort of ef- fort, I’m confident that we’ll attain that goal.” The United Way beat last year’s goal of $1.7 million and the campaign runs through to the end of the year. The money helps the organization fund community agencies that affect one- in-three people in Ajax-Pickering-Ux- bridge. The theme of the kickoff was Bon Appetite and the event lived up to its name with numerous local restau- rants offering samples of their culi- nary creations. “We try to vary our event and make it something that connects to the com- munity, so this is something new,” said Edna Klazek, the executive direc- tor of the organization. “Our theme is neighbours helping neighbours, so the most important aspect is having people come in, mingle with their neighbours and appreciate the work Disabled are sitting tall in the saddle Jen Fox knows all about Terry’s impact ✦ See Veridian, Page A5✦ See Get, Page A2 ✦ See Riding, Page A4 ✦ See Pickering, Page A5 NEW APPROACH Hyundai rethinks its people-mover strategy Wheels pullout TOP OF THE CLASS Meet the Pickering News Advertiser’s Spring-Summer Coach of the Year Page B1 By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — Public schools across the region are coming together for a board-wide celebration of Terry Fox. This Friday, Sept. 16, Durham pub- lic schools will each send several rep- resentatives to take part in a 25th an- niversary Terry Fox run-walk at the Durham District School Board’s Edu- cation Centre in Whitby. “We could have 1,000 people walk- ing here on Friday,” said Mark Joel, su- perintendent of education-operations for Pickering schools. Participants will each wear their school shirts. “I think it will be a very significant event,” Mr. Joel said. “Symbolically and awareness wise, it’s going to be out- standing.” This is the first time for the board- wide program, he added. In the past, it’s been up to individual schools and communities to do events. This year, all schools will be doing some type of celebration activity, Mr. Joel said. “Durham has always been a huge supporter of the Terry Fox Run so it’s not a huge stretch for us to be in- volved,” said Mr. Joel. Staff at the board office sold $10,000 in Terry Fox shirts last Tuesday and We dnesday, added Mr. Joel. T-shirts were $15 each and a few sweatshirts were sold as well. Money raised goes to the Terry Fox Foundation. The Teacher Librarians Association has also introduced a literacy program for Terry Fox celebrations. It includes material for every grade and features a list of Terry Fox web- sites, books, fundraising ideas and classroom activities. The board also offers videos and events to help keep the spirit of Terry Fox alive for students who hadn’t even been born when the walk-run began. “It’s an event we’re proud of and it’s snowballed,” said Mr. Joel. The board’s walk-run is from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and lunch will be cooked by culinary students. Monday is the tentative rain date. Students at the Durham Catholic District School Board are participating in Terry Fox celebrations as well. How- ever, Monique Morin, media relations for the Catholic board, said it’s up to individual schools to decide how they will offer walks-runs and activities.

Covering the Pickering news scene dmilley@durhamregion.comREPORTER DANIELLE MILLEYNEWS ADVERTISER 905-683-5110 Over the years the money raised through Terry Fox Runs, and other can- cer fundraisers, has been used for re- search and to make improvements in treatments. “I’m pretty happy they made all those improvements with the protocol (for my cancer) and happy I didn’t have to lose my leg,” Jen said. The family is going to try to get out to the 25th annual Run in Pickering Sept. 18, but Jen isn’t very mobile at the mo- ment as she has a cast from a recent leg surgery. Her school, Westcreek Public School, participates in the Run every year, and she said in 2004 her story helped make the cause more real. “I think last year they were more motivated to donate and raise money,” she said. The event is being held at the Pick- ering Recreation Complex, starting at 9 a.m. Organizer Kevin Cahill said the hope this year is to increase the number of participants and “to continue Terry’s dream of one day eradicating cancer.” Last year, there were more than 200 participants and “that’s a good number. We’re expecting quite a few more this year,” Mr. Cahill stated. One of the reasons for the increase this year is a corporate challenge being held, with 50 to 100 teams expected to take part. “With it being the 25th an- niversary and all the attention Terry has gotten in the last year, it will really kick it off. I’m expecting 300 to 400. That’s my hope,” he said. For information, call Mr. Cahill at 905- 509-5668 or visit www.terryfoxrun.org.

Initiated by the former Progressive Conservative government, the program requires municipalities to report to both the Province and the public financial and service performance data in areas such as fire, police, roads, storm and drinking water. Council received the 2004 report at Wednesday’s council meeting. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish says the whole exercise is a waste of staff’s time and serves no useful purpose. Since the program started in 1999, he says he has never received a call from a resident regarding the published information. “We’re constantly complaining about downloading,” he said. “This is down- loading. It’s political posturing; it’s use- less.” Mayor Parish wanted Durham Chair- man Roger Anderson, who is also the current chairman of AMO, to carry the message to the provincial government. However Mr. Anderson said council should instead pass the resolution and send it to AMO. Whitby Regional Councillor Joe Drumm agreed with Mayor Parish and motioned that council’s views be sent to AMO, saying “it is absolutely a waste of time.” According to the report, in the area of policing, the operating costs for police services per household have increased from $477 in 2002 to $530 in 2004. The violent and property crime rate per 1,000 persons is down from 2003. Also up from last year are the operating costs for collecting, treating and disposing of wastewater. The percentage of paved roads in good to very good condition fell once again, from 45 per cent in 2001, to 43 per cent in 2002 and 2003 and 38 per cent in 2004. The cost of collect- ing garbage increased from $75 to $81 per tonne, but the price of disposing of a tonne of garbage fell for the third straight year, from $96 in 2001 to $89 in 2004. Earlier in the day, the Region’s fi- nance and administration committee reviewed the 2004 statistics. John Mut- ton, the Clarington mayor and commit- tee chairman, said as the Region moves towards regional transit in the next few months, the condition of roads should not be left to deteriorate. “Our roads are suffering and I think that federal gas tax we get should go to road work and not to transit,” he said. “I see us not keeping up with roads.” Oshawa Ward 3 Regional Council- lor Nester Pidwerbecki said while he “understands the anxiety with transit,” it doesn’t make sense not to fund it ad- equately. Mayor Mutton said he is suggesting “a phased-in, achievable business plan for transit and not a blank cheque.” A/P PA GE A3 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆SEPTEMBER 14, 2005 6 Time Readers Choice Award Winner Thurs - Fri 10-6, Sat 9-4, Sun 11-3 www.diplomatpools.com • Exciting new technology for • The only maintenance free spa in the world • 4 speaker Clarion Surround Sound System • Elite Lite Therapy System 2004 “Making your backyard dreams a reality” 637 Kingston Rd.

And it’s bragging rights, some- thing you can do that’s special. It’s something they can excel at.” Riding is not meant to take the place of other therapy, but rather to complement it. “It’s not the only answer, but it’s just plain fun, and it’s a motivator. If you enjoy it and your muscles are improv- ing, it motivates you to work hard in other therapy,” says Mr. Henderson. It also provides a lot of volunteer opportunities. He said people are needed to assist OnTRA and local centres. “It’s a great place for kids who have to do volunteer work for their school, and it’s a fun volunteer experience,” he explained. “There’s satisfaction in seeing someone benefit from your help, and you’re working with the same rider each week, watching them progress... I’ve seen big changes in people’s well-being, and you’re con- tributing to it.” In its 22 years, OnTRA has achieved a lot, and Mr. Henderson is proud of the success. Members have held clin- ics, co-hosted national conferences, produced videos, launched a website and published a book. And the CNE has included its riders in their exhibi- tions. Their mission statement is clear. “We want to assist people with dis- abilities, and to help them improve their quality of life through therapeu- tic riding.” For more information, visit www. ontra.ca.

I don’t for a minute sug- gest the other project isn’t important and isn’t a priority, but it isn’t as high a priority,” Coun. Pickles said. “I suggest we stick with the plan we’ve already approved... The condition of the bridge is very poor... it’s in desper- ate need of repair.” Palmer Bridge is located on Valley Farm Road north of Finch Avenue; Michell Bridge is located on the Sev- enth Concession Road west of Side- line 32. “We have to stay on track and stay with what our staff recommended to us initially,” Coun. Johnson said. “You can’t, halfway through the project, start throwing in projects.” Mayor Dave Ryan also supported sticking with the original project after being told by staff that either way both projects would be done by the end of 2008. “All of the projects have merit, there is no question,” he said. “The bot- tom-line answer I heard is if we leave things the way they are everything gets completed in 2008.” The rest of committee voted against the first resolution and in favour of the bridge reconstruction on Sandy Beach Road, after Everett Buntsma, director of operations and emergency services, said that the work would “al- leviate some of the flooding.” The Sandy Beach Road project is estimated at $1 million with the City responsible for one third. The appli- cation for Intake 2 is due at the end of the month. A third intake is anticipated for spring 2006, but it may cover different areas so bridge work wouldn’t be able to be submitted. COMRIF is a five-year, $900-million program that focuses on local needs through infrastructure improvements. All Ontario municipalities of less than 250,000 people are eligible to apply.

Mr. Wiersma was excited about the involvement of the restaurants and this year’s kickoff theme. “It’s great for them to be recognized as being part of the community, and it’s great to recognize their diversity as well.” In attendance at the event were government officials from Ajax and Pickering and Mr. Wiersma was happy to receive their encouragement. “They’re here to support us, and they’ve always been very support- ive. Those politicians know what the pulse of the community is all about, and they know what its needs are, so it’s nice to see that they’re here to sup- port the United Way.” Ms. Klazek is also optimistic this year’s goal will be reached. “I’m always confident because the communities are really supportive, and they understand the needs there are in the community.” The pair didn’t have to wait long for the first donation, as Veridian Corpo- ration presented a cheque for $9,070.

Cast your vote online at infodurhamregion.com Last Week’s Question: Is Canada doing enough to aid recovery efforts in New Orleans? Votes cast: 269 Yes 48.3% No 51.7% Save our heritage in Pickering To the editor: Fa r from suggesting that anyone boycott ‘A Spirit Walk’ at the Pickering Museum Village this month, I would encourage everyone to see it and get ‘spirited away’ with enthusiasm and passion for our heritage and our ances- tors. And when you’ve done that, join the forces protesting the proposed destruction of our heritage, particularly the home of rebel leader George Barclay, north of Brougham. As one of the original re- searchers and writers of the triple award-winning play, I recently gave away my Ontar- io Heritage Foundation Award and resigned my position on Heritage Pickering in protest. While all levels of government are pleased to laud our the- atrical piece celebrating the local heroes who fought and died in the Rebellion of 1837, it seems neither City coun- cil, the Province, nor our MP Mark Holland has any power against the bureaucrats at Transport Canada who have issued the third eviction and demolition order against Elder Barclay’s 1840 house, Tullis Cottage, still occupied by his descendants. In the 1830s Brougham was known as Rebels’ Corners. To day, thanks to the bulldoz- ers clearing land for an airport that has been in the wings for over 30 years, it could be called Rubble Corners. Last week’s news release from Mark Hol- land gives hope that we may yet prevent this ill-conceived airport. Now, if only we could save our heritage before it’s too late. Mary Delaney Brougham Slow down, save gas and money To the editor As fuel economy is on al- most everyone’s mind, I’d like to point out a few observa- tions. The first is that idling for longer than 10 seconds wastes more fuel than restarting the engine. If you have to wait for any length of time, turn- ing your engine off will save you money. Most speed limits on highways are designed for fuel efficiency as well as safety. Driving at speeds higher than 110 km/h on Hwy. 401 means that you’re gaining time by sacrificing your fuel economy. Planning your trip to allow for a slower speed and small delays will save money as well as frustration. J.R. Deveau Pickering M ake criminal sentences a deterrent To the editor, Re: ‘A community hero makes a difference’, editorial, Sept. 9. Regarding the heroism of Roy Jones, yes, indeed, he is a hero and deserves to be rec- ognized as such. His heroism, however, raises the question as to why did he have to be one? It is about time lawmak- ers and law dispensers took the hint that punishment is supposed to be a deterrent, more so than a punishment. We, as a society, have become prisoners to the criminals that now inhabit our neighbour- hoods. Punish the guilty not the innocent. We are now obliged to safeguard our property and ourselves, against those who would rob us. We have to spend hard-earned cash in order to feel safe in today’s world. Then, if we are unlucky enough to be robbed or as- saulted, we have to suffer loss, pain and trauma. On top of which, if we make an insur- ance claim - up go our pre- miums. Sir, we have lost our freedom -- freedom from fear. It’s time those who do wrong should lose their free- dom and be made to fear the consequences of their mis- deeds. We are being let down by the continuance of the ‘do- gooder’ syndrome. It has be- come the bane on our society, and we are paying the price. It’s time for sentences to act as a real deterrent. The hackneyed excuse that our institutions, (prisons) are overpopulated doesn’t ring true. If criminals and would- be criminals were deterred, then the institutional popula- tion would decrease. The lawmakers and law dis- pensers need to know, and understand, that law-abiding citizens are not the guilty. Peter Mills, Ajax LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I t’s fall fair time again. If he were so inclined, a kid could stuff his face full of french fries and cotton candy and throw up in a small town every week for the next two months. What a province. My little town’s fall fair has it’s own unique claim to “fair” fame. At 152 years, it’s the oldest fall fair in the prov- ince. Of course a good deal has changed since then. Back in 1853, the midway, while I’m sure still thrilling, was a little less sophisticated. Kids lined up to ride the “Bumper Hors- es,” “The crazy, tilty stool,” and “The Churn of Fate.” Young lov- ers found romance sitting atop the novel but ultimately boring “Ferris Square.” And parents grudgingly handed over nick- els to kids eager to buy gooey sticks of cotton (the “candy” part wouldn’t be added for an- other 20 years). Still, then as now, the fair is always a big hit. My personal fall fair highlight has to be the demolition derby, an evening of carnage for the whole fam- ily. In my book, you haven’t really received the full fair ex- perience until you come home glazed with radiator fluid and sand. I had never been to a demolition derby until we moved up here. I went to my first one under protest, snoot- ily thinking it a barbaric dis- play of violence and wanton pollution. And guess what? It was all that and more. Inside of a minute I was hooked. I don’t know what it is ex- actly, something buried deep inside our cerebral cortex, something left over from the days when violence was a part of everyday life, I’m sure some- body could explain it to me, but watching guys crunch cars into one another is remarkably entertaining. For the two or three hours it takes to mash a couple of dozen vehicles to a steaming pulp, I’m a different person. I shout articulate things like “Whoa! D’ja see that!” and “Ohhhhh, baby!” until I’m hoarse. I stand elbow to elbow with beer-swilling, yellow-fin- gered, tattooed people named Biff, Stu and Babs. It’s a beauti- ful thing. And exciting? It’s like a modern-day Coliseum, only the Gladiators are driving ’72 Dusters and Pinto’s. It’s like a three-hour hockey fight. And like I say, I’m not really sure why we love it so much. Perhaps it’s a vicarious thing. After all, the guys out there in the banged-up beaters are doing to each other what each of us has wanted to do to someone at some point in our driving careers. Whatever the reason, it’s popular. I’ve been going to the derby every year since my initiation 13 years ago, and every year it’s stand- ing (and ducking) room only. This year I am particularly excited about the demolition derby. This year I get to host it. I, Neil Crone, a kid from the suburbs of Toronto, am going to be doing the play-by-play for a real, country fair, demoli- tion derby. Am I totally stoked? Can I wait for that checkered flag to be dropped? Does Babs like unfiltered Camels? Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his column. There’s nothin’ like a demolition derby Neil Crone enter laughing Five-generation celebration Sarah Thompson sent us this picture of her new- born, Makenna Angela Rose, who was part of a special event recently when she met her 98-year- old great-great-grand- mother Flora Riley. It was a five-generation moment and June Riley, stand- ing in back, is Makenna’s great-grandmother, Karen Thompson kneeling at left is Makenna’s Grandma and her mom Sarah Thomp- son, kneeling on the right, complete the moment. IN THE COMMUNITY C onnection to airport would serve Durham residents well If funding levels fair, Region should rethink rapid link contributions M uch attention has been paid these past few years to the riddle of how to start reducing, rather than increasing, the large numbers of cars on Durham’s roads. From a regional transit system to plenty of other discussion, much hand-wringing has been spent on finding solutions to our ever-growing gridlock problems. Let’s face it, we’re a grow- ing region and already our towns and cities are jam packed with cars. So reducing the number of vehicles on the roads is not only good for the environment, but it’s good for keeping us all moving forward. It seemed a bit odd last week when Durham council so quickly excused itself from taking part in any setup that would require it to help fund a rapid transit link from Union Station in To ronto to Pearson Airport. The theory being is that there just isn’t enough benefit in the link for Durham. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson even went so far as to suggest few would take a train into Union and then drag their luggage to another train bound for Pearson. But this link goes a long way to achieving exactly what this council has been discussing for years. It will take more traffic off the road. And lugging our baggage is what we do when we travel, whether it be from a car parked miles from the airport as we look to hop a plane, or whether it be from train to train. The difference in the latter situation, of course, is that we’ve left the car at home. Need we also mention there are no inflated costs for parking, nor the cost to gas up and make the trip to Pearson? The federal government is suggesting the link needs to be a multi-party partnership, with Ottawa, the Province and municipalities all combining to make it a reality with private sector involvement. Provided the share for GTA municipalities is based on population and that the Province and Feds bear the brunt of the funding, it’s a project Durham can’t afford to pass on. After all, Durham can put money into the link or keep pouring more into repairing our highways as volumes continue to increase. Three-way cost sharing is much more realistic than expecting one party to get such an ambitious project off the ground itself. When it comes right down to it, this link is more than a To ronto service. Like the GO system that will feed it, its estab- lishment will be to the betterment and benefit of all Greater To ronto Area residents. Rather than missing this important bus, Durham council would be much wiser to rethink its decision and investigate the benefits further.

In order to prevent future trag- edies the Pickering Fire Services requests that you follow these safety tips to ensure the safe use of smoking materials. Never smoke in bed It’s just too easy to fall asleep. Don’t smoke if you’re drowsy …Especially if you’re sitting down in a comfortable chair or if you’ve been drinking or taking prescrip- tion drugs. Check between the cushions for any smokers items that may have fallen into the cracks. Don’t leave a lit cigarette …Or a cigar or pipe. They can easily overbalance as they burn down, land on a carpet, newspaper or between sofa or armchair cushions, and start a fire. Use a proper ashtray Make sure it can’t be easily knocked over and avoid a build-up of ash and debris. Dispose of your ashes safely Put your ashes in the toilet before going to bed. Don’t leave matches or lighters unattended Children love them. And every year children die starting fires with matches and lighters they shouldn’t have had. It doesn’t take more than a couple of minutes for a child left on their own to start a fire.

The Durham Region Media Group is launching a new feature, Citizens’ Eye, entirely showcasing the submissions of Durham Region residents. We have a web page going live Sept. 28 and we’re currently compiling items for the launch. Already, dozens of residents from around Durham Region have contributed recipes, back-to-school photos, championship team photos and tales of their trips around the world. We are featuring specific events throughout the year, many of which will be a permanent feature of the web page, while others will change with the sea- son, or time of year, such as Halloween, Christmas or Easter. The guiding principle for Citizens’ Eye is that it will be driven entirely by the interests of Durham residents. It will offer them an avenue where they can share the important moments in their lives, where they can share insight on the best way to make a tricky meal, where they can share Hallow- een decorating tips, or announce business achieve- ments and more. As we said, it’s your voice and your eye, Durham. Currently we are looking for your back-to-school photos, pictures from fall fairs, tournament and championship winning teams, your favourite reci- pes, travel photos and stories about your trip, and photos of unusual vege- tables and dazzling gar- dens. We’re also interest- ed in readers’ reviews on books, concerts, movies, music, art exhibits and stage productions. If it’s of interest to you and others, please share with us. The site will be updated regularly, featuring new interactive ideas that will show off the lifestyles of Durham residents and get web surfers talking. Written submissions should be kept to 500 words maximum, while photos should be sent in their raw format, with a maximum five at no more than 500k in size each.

[ Tr ack and field ] Felicien seventh in Monaco final PICKERING — Tw o-time Olympic hurdler Perdita Felicien suffered another tough day on the track against a strong international field in Monaco last weekend. Battling inconsistency in the 100-metre hurdles this season, the Pickering resident finished a disappointing seventh in the final of the World Athletics Final in Monte Carlo, Monaco last weekend. Her time in the final, 12.80, was well off her best time this season, 12.58. World champion Michelle Perry of the U.S. won the event in 12.54. Earlier this month, Felicien finished fourth in the Golden League final in Berlin, Germany in a time of 12.88 seconds, well back of race winner Jamaica’s Brigitte Foster-Hylton, who captured the gold medal in 12.63. PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER’S SPRING-SUMMER COACH OF THE YEAR Merle Robillard/ News Advertiser photo A happy group of players from the Dairy Queen under-11 girls’ house league show their coach, Patrick Thompson, right, that he’s No. 1. Several of his players wrote the newspa- per to tell us why their coach deserved to be the Pickering News Advertiser’s Coach of the Year for the spring-summer sports season. Soccer coach turns player’s disdain into love of the game Patrick Thompson News Advertiser’s Coach of the Year By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — At one time, Andrea Schneider detested taking to the soc- cer pitch, had an aversion to practis- ing. In short, she hated the game. But, along came coach Patrick Thompson and all that changed. Schneider, along with teammates Samantha Patterson and Kayla Hunt of the Pickering Dairy Queen under- 11 girls’ house league squad, wrote to the News Advertiser in support of coach Thompson for Pickering Spring-Summer Coach of the Year. As the coach of the year, Thompson’s team was feted with a pizza party, courtesy of the News Advertiser. For Schneider, Thompson’s guid- ance helped her change her opinion of the game. “I was six when I first tried soc- cer and really hated it. I remember being forced to (attend) practices and games where few players showed up,” Schneider wrote in her letter. “When we did play, I just trudged along slow- ly and wished the agony would end soon. “I am now 10 and this summer I de- cided to try the game again for some- thing to do...Well, it’s now nearing the end of the season and I’m absolutely loving the game. I have showed up to every game and all the practices, except one. I have been given the op- portunity to play every single position and my coach has given me much praise.” Hunt says coach Thompson is a great teacher. But, he doesn’t lose sight of building fun and sportsman- ship into his coaching techniques. Hunt notes at the end of each game, the Dairy Queen players give a cheer for their opposition -- win or lose. Meanwhile, Patterson is also a big booster of coach Thompson. “He is patient, caring, smart, fun to be around, encouraging and, most importantly, determined...He has a way of correcting your mistakes with- out discouraging you, even though I’m sure he must be frustrated with some of our mistakes. He always em- phasizes the positive things we do.” For Thompson, 42, who works in the IT sector, he’s been coaching house league squads in the Pickering Soccer Club for the past five years, a head coach for the past three sea- sons. He notes that if it were not for his daughter Haillee’s love of soccer, he probably wouldn’t have become involved in coaching. “If she didn’t show an active inter- est, I probably wouldn’t be doing it.” His coaching philosophy, he says, is giving each and every player on his team a chance to succeed. “I try to put them in a position where they can perhaps score. When they do, they jump for joy,” says Thompson with a laugh. Thompson says he tries to combine fun with imparting new skills to his players at practices during the soccer season. Part of the fun is involving the parents as much as possible, in- cluding organizing exhibition games between the parents and the players. “The parents I’ve had are very good and very active,” he says. “I’m not a glorified babysitter. I ask for help from parents.” If there’s a coach who’s inspired him, Thompson says it was his high school wrestling coach, John Grose- nof, at Laurier Collegiate in Scarbor- ough. “He took a bunch of misfits and made us into a team. Kids sometimes in high school have a tendency to get lost. He gave us a direction in life. He loved the sport and pulled us togeth- er. You find yourself attending classes because of that.” Next summer, Thompson says he may try his hand at coaching an all- star (select) team of under-12 girls. “I would volunteer; I wouldn’t have to be asked,” he says.

Gregg Riggs, w ho missed most of the Panthers’ pre-sea- son while skating with the London Knights on a tryout, was returned to the Panthers for his second season with the OHA Ontario Provincial Ju- nior ‘A’ Hockey League club. And, the diminutive forward showed why he was one of the solid rookie perform- ers with the club last season. Riggs notched a hat trick and added an assist in leading the Panthers to a 7-6 victory Sunday afternoon in their season opener against the North Yo rk Rangers at the Herbert Carnegie Centennial Arena. Panthers’ head coach John Winder noted the Rangers were ill-equipped to handle the speed of Riggs, who was able to exploit the slower North Yo rk defence corps. “When he takes off, he’s so fast and he had some nice dekes, too,” says Winder. “Their defence defi- nitely had a hard time catching him. That line of Chris Jones and Justin Fox was definitely our top line.” In fact, the Riggs-Jones-Fox triumvirate ac- counted for four of the seven Panthers’ goals and eight points overall. Although the Panthers’ forwards set the tone for the high-scoring af- fair, the Panthers’ defence was the glue that held things together, espe- cially the yeoman’s work of blue-lin- ers John Soames and Ryan Annesley, who each logged 40-plus minutes. “They were steady as a rock,” says Winder. “We were counting on them and they were certainly equal to the task.” Winder notes the team also re- lied heavily on the defensive con- tributions of two call-ups from the Ajax-Pickering Raiders ‘AAA’ midgets -- Steve Boyle and Brett Holmberg -- who held the fort admirably in the absence of injured regular rear- guards, Michael Banwell and Kyle Gregg Riggs ✦ See Panthers, Page B2 P PA GE B2 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆SEPTEMBER 14, 2005 AJAX 427-7708 282 Monarch Ave. Mon-Fri: 9:30-9 • Sat: 9:30-5:30 • Sun: 11-5 Canada’s Largest Liquidator Over 100 locations! *Supply and Selection will vary by outlet.

Please recycle your copy of the News Advertiser Pickering powers to Ottawa Royals soccer crown Under-12 girls edge Capital United in final PICKERING — The Pickering Power ‘A’ under-12 girls’ rep soccer team claimed the crown at the 2005 Ottawa Royals Girls Invitational Tournament last weekend. Power dominated the tournament from beginning to end winning all five of its games and outscoring the oppo- sition 18–2. Pickering Power and Capital Unit- ed, two undefeated teams, battled in the final. Pickering got the lead early in the second half and hung on for a 1-0 victory. Ashley Tait crossed a ball through the crease to Chrysalene Te o who managed to keep the ball in bounds and crossed it back through the crease. Sonia Belley outraced the goalie to the ball and quickly buried it. Later in the half, Pickering goal- keeper Sarah Forde managed to tip a blast headed for the top of the net, off the crossbar and gather the ball before being literally run over on her goal line. After the big save Pickering controlled the game. Haley Henderson was named Pick- ering’s MVP for the championship game as selected by the refereeing crew. Pickering opened the tournament by cruising through three games Satur- day, winning 5–0 over the Mississauga Panthers, 4–1 over Ottawa South Unit- ed and 7–1 over West Carleton. Leading the way was Tait with six goals, includ- ing a four-goal performance against West Carleton. Other goal scorers were Brittany Foerster with four, Tavia An- derson with three, Belley with two and Bianca Munch with one. Power rounded out qualifying play with a 1-0 win over the host Ottawa Royals team. Pickering’s goal came late in the second half on a well-struck ball by Tait from 20 yards out. Connie Cancellara, Kelly Bishop, Ta ylor Warrington, Katrina Jegg, Linzee Exner and Nicole Mayers led the incredibly stingy Power defence. They proved to be basically impen- etrable throughout the tournament. Dana Murphy and Madison Marmina also contributed inspired play. Bert Laing coaches the team, as- sisted by Bruce Bishop. The trainer is Theresa Henderson and team man- ager is Nina Cancellara. Cole. The Pickering juniors were wildly inconsistent throughout the exhibi- tion season, culminating in a 1-4 record. But, the Panthers were full value for their first victory of the new campaign, leading 7-3 up until the final five min- utes of the third period. There was plenty of posi- tives in the Panthers’ per- formance, but Winder notes there was some- thing in the team’s past that reared its head in the regular-season opener -- undisciplined penalties. After being the least penalized team in the league last season, the Pan- thers took 20 minutes in penalties, not including a 10-minute miscon- duct and fighting major assessed to Brett Connolly. “They’ve got to smarten up. We can’t take those stupid penalties -- holding, hooking and interference. Those lazy penalties have got to go,” says Winder. The Panthers go back to work on Friday night when they travel to Hu ntsville to play the Huntsville- Muskoka Otters of the league’s North Conference.

Call the newsroom: 905-683-5110 Art d isplay is open for viewing until Sept. 29 DURHAM — Sharon Steinhaus has moved into the Ajax Library’s main branch. Her show ‘An Artist’s Eye View’ is on until Sept. 29, featuring works domi- nated by the town, especially near the lake. “The Ajax waterfront has a special magnetism that never ceases to gener- ate inspiration for paintings,” she says. “I can often be found on a weekday morning walking and sketching along the path at Rotary Park. About a third of the works at this library show are specifically Ajax sites.” Originally from Cape Breton Island, N.S., Steinhaus has quickly become a recognizable name in the arts com- munity and has been a part of many shows across Durham Region. One of her proudest moments came at the Sta- tion Gallery’s 2005 Juried Show where she received the award for ‘Best In Show’. “And the added thrill was that it was a printing of the bridge at the Ajax wa- terfront,” the proud Ajacian says. Describing her artwork, Steinhaus says she would like the viewer to hear with their eyes and be transported into the painting to experience the sounds and smells that inspired her to put brush to canvas. “To evoke a memory or feeling of being there would be a compliment,” she says. Showing her work at the library is special to Steinhaus as the Rotary Room is host to several local meetings along with the public visiting the library. On Oct. 1, at the opening of the new Ajax Civic Centre, there is to be an auc- tion of doors that were painted by local artists and donated to the arts. Steinhaus donated a door that shows scenes of Ajax Rotary Park on both sides. Her association with local arts groups is extensive. She is a member of the PineRidge Arts Council, Durham West Arts Centre, Station Gallery in Whitby, president of the Oshawa Art Associa- tion, and is membership and newslet- ter chairwoman for Ajax Creative Arts.

Theatre’s f all offering features comedy by Canadian playwright By Christy Chase Staff Editor DURHAM — Class Act Dinner The- atre was ship shape for the opening of Separate Beds this month. The play, by St. Catherines playwright MaryJane Cruise, follows two couples, both celebrating their wedding anni- versaries on a Caribbean cruise. Directed by professional actor and director Bill Walker, Separate Beds stars Rocky Varcoe, co-owner of Class Act, and Nancy Gleed, a Class Act favourite. Va rcoe and Gleed play both couples. “The whole of the play takes place on a cruise ship in the Caribbean,” Varcoe said. In the first act, audiences will meet the first couple, celebrating their 35th anniversary on a cruise paid for by their children. They are very family-oriented and own and run a hardware store. During this act, the two talk with an- other couple, not on stage. In the sec- ond act, it’s time for the second couple, a rich, snobby couple from Toronto and audiences will hear as they talk with the first couple. “I love two-handers,” Varcoe said. “It’s very tiring, of course, but with both of us being so familiar with Class Act and with the boards, it’s fun.” It’s a challenge, too, as they are both required to be on stage at all times and must conduct fast costumes changes, many in front of the audiences. Director Walker, who teaches drama at Trinity College in Port Hope, said it’s great to be able to support new, promis- ing Canadian playwrights. Walker said the play should resonate with audiences. “I think the audience will sit there and start to recognize themselves in these people,” he said. “Some will chuckle and others will think they’ve got to change things.” The play is staged in a cruise ship stateroom and on deck, one upstage and the other downstage. With only two actors, Walker is relying on lighting and fast costume changes to effect the scene changes. This is his first appearance at Class Act, although his wife, Denise Del Greco, has acted in many plays at the dinner theatre. The play opened Sept. 9, and runs through Oct. 22.
