Wayne Fischer leads a discus- sion and PowerPoint presentation on ‘The History of Steam’ at the Redman House Program Centre at PMV on Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. Mr. Fischer recently estab- lished the Ontario Steam Heritage Museum in Puslinch, Ont. to house and collect steam-operated equip- ment. He has travelled to Britain and the U.S. researching these historic pieces of equipment. His presentation includes illustrations of his recent trip to England where he visited steam collections and shows. The PMV recently donated its quarry engine to the Ontario Steam Heritage Museum’s collec- tion, establishing a working rela- tionship between the two museums that allows PMV to use Fischer’s knowledge to rebuild and restore parts of its own steam collection. Those interested in learning more about steam or in becom- ing part of PMV’s volunteer steam team to redevelop and interpret the steam collection should attend.

Despite repeated attempts by the officers and the man’s wife, the man died in the Eyer Drive blaze that broke out around 11:30 Sunday night, Durham Regional Police Ser- geant Paul McCurbin said. The deceased man has been iden- tified as 64-year-old Robert Syming- ton. He had been recently diagnosed with cancer and was using an oxygen tank, police said. A woman called police after being awakened by a smoke alarm and finding a room downstairs ablaze, Sgt. McCurbin said. Unable to help the man from the house, she extinguished some flames before emergency crews arrived at the home. Police arriving on scene made re- peated attempts to rescue the man from the house, Sgt. McCurbin said. “Two of our guys ended up with smoke inhalation because they kept going back into the house,” he said in an interview. The officers were taken to hospital for treatment, Sgt. McCurbin said. Mr. Symington was declared dead at the scene of the fire. The cause of the blaze was under investigation early this week, Sgt. McCurbin said.

Improvement plan offers professional development for literacy and numeracy skills By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — Te aching more edu- cators is part of the Durham District School Board’s plan to improve stu- dent literacy and numeracy. The plan, intended to bring more students up to the provincial average for literacy and numeracy, provides more professional development for teachers and data systems to mea- sure the effectiveness of programs being offered. “This really isn’t a program, it’s a journey,” said Trustee Michael Bar- rett, board chairman. “There really is no end to this.” The plan features more early literacy re- source teachers and training for all primary and junior teachers in 42 of Dur- ham’s priority schools. Professional development will teach how to deliver numeracy and literacy pro- grams and offer creative techniques to address the different ways stu- dents learn. Other schools will also receive training, but for less teachers. “This is about teaching our teach- ers how to be able to teach what needs to be taught,” said Trustee Bar- rett. “I think it’s very exciting, very com- prehensive.” Trustee Barrett added teachers ap- pear enthused by the plan and op- portunity it provides for them to work together and increase their skills. Although the board was already doing many of the things listed in the plan, some new initiatives include implementing a professional training tracking program and a district-wide student information management system. The systems allow the board to quickly analyze student progress and what ideas are working. “It’s self-evaluation for us to be able to understand what we’re doing and is it making a difference,” said Luigia Ayotte, superintendent of ed- ucation, programs and staff develop- ment. “When you get that data, you can show people, you can talk about it.” Ms. Ayotte added many of the ini- tiatives included in the improvement plan are made possible by one-time funding provided by the Province. “Training every teacher in 42 schools, that’s unheard of,” she said. By training teachers, they’re lay- ing the foundation for learning, said Trustee Barrett. “To me this is really why we’re here,” he said and added bricks and mortar come later. Premier’s nuclear comments we lcomed But building new units a bad idea, says environmental watchdog By Jennifer Stone Staff Writer DURHAM —Strong comments by Premier Dalton McGuinty about new nuclear reactors to help with Ontario’s projected power shortfall is being wel- comed in one Durham community. But, making the choice to go with new nuclear is a bad idea, especially given a current proposal for dealing with waste from such facilities, says a spokesman for an environmental watchdog. “We are prepared to go ahead with ... new nuclear if that is recommended by the OPA,” Premier McGuinty told the Ontario Energy Association’s an- nual general meeting in Niagara Falls last Wednesday. He was referring to the Ontario Power Authority, which has been charged with coming up with a long-term plan to ensure On- tario has enough power supply. The comments come on the heals of a strong statement from Energy Minis- ter Dwight Duncan about the poten- tial for new nuclear power facilities to be built. With existing nuclear reactors, which currently supply about 50 per cent of the province’s power, reach- ing the end of their life expectancy by 2020, and it taking 12 to 15 years Increased teaching aids for Pickering schools ✦ See Greenpeace, Page A4 Michael Barrett A/P PA GE A2 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆SEPTEMBER 21, 2005 NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE Provision of Additional Capacity for the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant The Regional Municipalities of York and Durham are undertaking a joint study to identify the preferred method of providing additional capacity for the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) to service future growth in the urban areas of York and Durham Regions. Located in the City of Pickering, the Duffin Creek WPCP treats the wastewater flows collected by the York- Durham Sewage System (YDSS), which provides sanitary sewer service to portions of York Region and Durham Region. Population and employment growth forecasted for the service areas of both York and Durham Regions will ultimately generate sanitary sewage flows beyond the existing capacity of the Duffin Creek WPCP. This study is proceeding under Schedule ‘C’of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (June 2000).The Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) is a five-phase study that includes an extensive evaluation of the impacts to plants, animals, soils, traffic, residents and businesses in the community. We are currently in the third phase of the study, which involves an assessment of the alternative design concepts. PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE Members of the public are invited to attend an Information Centre on Wednesday, September 28, 2005, between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. at the Duffin Creek WPCP, 901 McKay Road, Pickering to obtain information on the study. Attendees will have an opportunity to examine and provide comment on the preferred treatment strategy, as well as the implementation plan for expansion of the Duffin Creek WPCP.

Company would sell off parts, divert from landfill By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — Durham’s works com- mittee wants more information on how it deals with electronic waste after a pri- vate company’s offer to hold collection days at various sites in the region. To dd Heinzl of Uxbridge-based eWaste Depot Corporation pitched the idea to committee members at the Sept. 14 meeting. He says the first such mu- nicipal collection day, in Uxbridge in June, saw 100 cars drop off roughly 6,700 pounds of computers, monitors and other equipment at a cost of $10 per car. The company harvests plastic, metals and other parts for resale and diverts the equipment from dumps. “There was no resistance to paying the $10 whatsoever,” said Uxbridge Region- al Councillor Susan Self, adding most thought of the fee as “a token amount” covering the convenience of having the drop-off close to home. She motioned that the Region strike an agreement with the firm to hold col- lection days throughout Durham. The committee heard, however, that the Re- gion itself accepts e-waste at its transfer stations, also selling off some of the ma- terials to a “middleman.” Works commis- sioner Cliff Curtis said he saw the firm’s business as something that would be “a complementary service” to what the Region pro- vides. Pickering Re- gional Council- lor Rick Johnson chided Durham Region staff for not offering a similar service. “Our own staff have not been as pro- active,” he said, applauding eWaste’s ef- forts. “I’m very frustrated by our own staff not having the initiative to under- take this.” After Coun. Self’s motion, he moved that the committee meet in-camera. After a five-minute delay, Oshawa Re- gional Councillor Nester Pidwerbecki motioned that staff provide a full report to the committee. Committee chairman and Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle, in an interview, said councillors met in-camera, out of the eWaste representatives’ earshot, since “we have a competing business.” “If a private company can do it and we’re not doing it, so be it,” said Ajax Regional Councillor Scott Crawford. “As long as somebody’s doing it.” Councillor Self supported the motion to refer the matter to staff. Oshawa Regional Councillor Joe Kolodzie said councillors must decide if they’re in the collection business for profit. “You have to make a philosophi- cal decision here,” he said. “You’re in the business to make money or to collect the waste. Are we going to become private entrepreneurs? Are we going to take the gold and sell it.” The committee is expected to receive the staff report at the Oct. 4 works meet- ing. Region will pour over computer data Cliff Curtis DURHAM — The Sages-Femmes Rouge Valley Midwives want to help young children adjust to their growing families. A siblings class is being held Thurs- day, Sept. 24 for pregnant families with children between the ages of two and seven.

Through games, stories and role play, a regis- tered midwife and a community mem- ber will help little ones explore the wonderful world of becoming an older sister or brother. Cost is $5 per child. Participants need to bring a doll or favourite bear, a blanket and a diaper of their choice. The midwives serve the Ajax and Pick- ering area. The class is at 6758 Kingston Rd., in Scarborough, from 10 a.m. to noon. For more information, call 416-286- 2228. Midwives offer help for siblings-to-be DURHAM — Changes to the Durham District School Board’s special-educa- tion plan mean more students will get assessed for special needs this year. Durham trustees recently approved the annual update and review of the special-education plan, following changes requested from the board’s Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC). “It’s a good plan and a good place to start,” said Trustee Marilyn Crawford, SEAC vice-chairman. SEAC reviewed the plan earlier this year. Trustee Crawford said she was pleased by staff’s work with the com- mittee to address a six-month lag time in assessing students for special needs. “They really do listen to SEAC,” she said. More people were hired to do assess- ments so the board could reduce the backlog for this September, she said. The board began developing its spe- cial education plan in 2001 in accor- dance with provincial standards.

October 17th - 23rd is “Waste Reduction Week” U niversity and Durham College have more to offer By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — More wireless capability, increased accessibility for the disabled and Starbucks Coffee are some of the things local college and university stu- dents may notice as they head back to class. This year, Durham College welcomed 5,500 full-time students, about 3,000 at the University of Ontario Institute of Te chnology and 750 for Trent University programs. Along with campus enhancements and new programs, students will also see more features added throughout the year, such as a reflection pond in front of the library for skating on this winter. “When the snow flies, we’ll be ready to have an ice rink,” said Ralph Aprile, vice-president of facilities for the college and university, as he walked toward the library during a recent tour. A Starbucks coffee booth has been added to the library this year. The library was a $29-million project that opened last year and offers study seats for just under 700 students. A lounge inside fea- tures a large, circular brick chimney and couches with windows overlooking an outside student commons. Mr. Aprile said two more buildings will be added to the university as needed to form a quadrant around the student commons. Although there’s only 3,000 students at the university this year, in about three years 6,500 are anticipated, hence the need for the additional space. Underneath the commons is a Bore- hole Thermal Energy System, the second largest of its kind in North America. The system is made up of more than 375 thermal wells 200 metres deep and bor- rows water from the Earth to keep its facilities cool in summer and warm in winter. Beside the library, construction crews are still working on the university’s $22.5- million engineering building, which will feature 15 undergraduate labs. “It’s going to be ready for September 2006,” said Mr. Aprile. Next to the engineering building will be the automotive centre of excellence, a more than $50-million project to be built with provincial and federal funding, as well as General Motors funding. Across the road on the other side of Conlin, a twin pad arena is built and ready to open Sept. 9. It was a joint proj- ect, with the City of Oshawa contributing $8 million of the $11.5 million cost. Durham College has also had some work done. In March, the college-uni- versity received about $4.6 million from the Province for capital expenses. “We geared the money toward things that would have the biggest impact, ac- cessibility (for the disabled) being high on the list,” said Mr. Aprile. He said the post-secondary institution has also invested in its wireless capabil- ity to allow students more Internet con- nections, even outside. “A lso we invested in our dental pro- gram,” Mr. Aprile said. ”We used to have 26 seats for over 1,000 applicants, now we have 48 seats,” said Richard Levin, vice-president of strategic enrolment management and registrar. The college is also offering a new compressed office administration pro- gram, which can be completed in 10 months instead of two years. For 2006, it’s looking at six new programs, although they’ve yet to be finalized, said Mr. Levin. Among the programs the facility is look- ing into are payroll practitioner, child and youth worker, fitness and health and interior decorating. The university has new engineering programs for automotive, electrical, and software, as well as business and in- formation technology courses for video gaming and a masters program for IT security. As well, there are health science and forensic science programs this year. “And again, both of those have been pretty hot,” Mr. Levin said. New year brings n ew buildings, new programs Walter Passarella/ News Advertiser photos Ralph Aprile, vice-president of facilities, recently led a tour of the Durham College and University of Ontario Institute of Technology campus, including a walk from the science building to the library. Students will find some new additions to the library, above, upon return to classes this year, including a Starbucks, while below, the dental program has grown as well. Pickering mosquitoes carried virus DURHAM — The end of summer is just a week away, but West Nile virus continues to be detected in Durham. The Durham Region health de- partment says the virus was found in a batch of mosquitoes trapped in the Pickering area. As well, the de- partment received confirmation on Tuesday that a crow picked up Aug. 8 in Clarington tested positive for the virus. “It’s still important for area resi- dents to remember that mosquitoes remain active,” Dr. Donna Reynolds, the Region’s as- sociate medical officer of health, stated in a press release. “Until tem- peratures cool, we encourage everyone to continue taking precautions to protect against mosquito bites.” Eight virus-positive birds and three batches of mosquitoes with the virus have been identified in Durham so far this year. No human cases have been re- ported in the region, but more than 20 have been recorded in Toronto, including three deaths. The department has caught more than 23,100 mosquitoes this season as part of its adult mosquito trapping program. For more information on the virus, or to report dead crows, blue jays or raptors, call the health department’s environmental help line at 905-668- 7711 or 1-800-841-2729, ext. 3232, or visit www.region.durham.on.ca.

The Bowmanville man told Dur- ham Regional Police he was south- bound on Whites Road near Finch Av enue around 11:45 p.m. when he stopped his truck for two men on the roadway. He told cops he was approached by a white man who had a goatee and who was wearing large hoop earrings, and a black man wearing a hooded sweatshirt. He said he got into a struggle with the men when they demanded his truck. The man told police one of the suspects punched him in the face before he was able to get back into his vehicle. The suspects fled the scene on foot, according to a police report. The police helicopter was brought in for a search of the area, but no sus- pects matching the description given by the man were found.

With all the funds yet to be collected and counted, the total raised as of Tuesday afternoon was already at $35,000. Event organizer Kevin Cahill said it usually raises between $15,000 and $20,000, but money raised was not the only thing that went up. “The key thing is the participation went up more than 100 per cent,” he said. Usually 200 people participate, this year that number was close to 500, including, above left, Kayla Bannister, Michele Wilkes and Allison Foster, all members of the Pickering Swim Club. Schools across Pickering were also in on the activity, with a number of runs held last Friday. At Holy Redeemer Catholic School, Grade 6 Immersion students, front, from left, Jeanelle Arauz and Emily Bassett, led the way, followed by, from left, Michelle Flowers, Evans Knoll, Melissa Kay, Nyesa Hossein, and Valerie Bartlett, and Lori-Anne Moores in the background. to build a new nuclear facility, a decision would have to be made soon. The premier’s comments are good news, said Clarington Mayor John Mutton, who has long supported the idea of new nuclear build on the former proposed ITER site, next to the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station. “They’re going to need two nuclear power plants, and they obviously need more baseload in the eastern end of the GTA,” said the mayor. But, new nuclear isn’t the answer, said Dave Martin, en- ergy co-ordinator at Green- peace. He said it’s especially important not to turn to new nuclear to help fulfill Ontario’s power needs now, as the fed- eral government searches for a way to deal with the nuclear waste already in existence in the province. “The premier’s pro-nucle- ar comments... give real sig- nificance to the nuclear waste problem,” said Mr. Martin. The Nuclear Waste Manage- ment Organization recently released a draft recommenda- tion on how to deal with the waste. The recommendation, formulated over about three years of public consultation and study, calls for used nu- clear fuel bundles produced at facilities like Darlington and Pickering Nuclear Generating stations to remain on-site for about 30 years. At that point, a decision would be made as to whether to move the waste to a centralized facility, and eventually placed in a shallow underground storage facility at the eventual site of a deep repository. Used fuel would be placed in the deep geological mausoleum in the third phase of the plan, around year 60. But, it will be especially hard to find a willing host commu- nity for the waste if the govern- ment commits to new nuclear, and, as a result, an unknown and increased supply of nucle- ar waste. “Why would you commit your descendents and your children’s children to an envi- ronmental threat?” he said. “If more waste is being pro- duced, it just makes it an end- less problem.” –- With files from Torstar News Service ✦ Greenpeace from page A1 Greenpeace critical of premier’s message PICKERING — More than 1,550 children registered for Pickering Public Library’s reading program this summer.

Constable Bob Chopee pleaded guilty to two counts of discreditable conduct during a brief Police Services Act tribu- nal hearing Monday morning at police headquarters in Whitby. He was ordered by hearing officer Superintendent Rob- ert Chapman to forfeit 40 hours of time off. The hours are to be assigned by a supervisor. The plea and sentence were part of an agreement hammered out by police prosecutors and Mr. Chopee’s lawyer, Joseph Markson. Two charges of insub- ordination against the 29-year veteran were dropped. “Const. Chopee apologizes for his be- haviour,” Mr. Markson told the tribunal. “He realizes his communications were inappropriate.” The tribunal heard that in two sepa- rate confrontations with fellow officers -- once verbally, and once by e-mail -- Const. Chopee used “abusive and in- sulting language”. “I find there is clear and convinc- ing evidence discreditable conduct was committed,” Supt. Chapman said. Const. Chopee is the officer who ini- tiated a long and intensive review of the force’s Drug Enforcement Unit. The review was commenced in early 2003 after he complained of misconduct by his former colleagues on the squad. An 18-month probe by the Ontario Provincial Police yielded no criminal charges; a subsequent internal investi- gation by Durham Regional Police re- sulted in no misconduct charges under the Police Services Act.

A/P PA GE A6 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆SEPTEMBER 21, 2005 I was on my way up the stairs the other night, my head full of thoughts and plans and concerns when, passing an open window, I heard something that caught my attention. I sat down on the top stair and looked out the window. It was dusk and the cool night air was full of the chirp of crickets, the occasional sleepy bird, the delicate sweep of bats wings and the small tender voices of children. Two young boys, my son and his best pal, were sprawled on the still-warm sidewalk, drawing with chalk and talking. I don’t know why the moment held me so firmly. Perhaps it was just the loveli- ness of the evening, one of those when you can smell the fall coming, when someone, somewhere, has a woodstove going, when life is suddenly very still and very beautiful. I suspect, however, it had more to do with the boys and with my particular mindset at the moment. They were, in their simple, joyful chatter, in perfect juxta- position to my noisy-minded preoccupation. One of the things I have always loved about children is their “Zen.” Kids are very good at being in the “now.” While most of us carry around so much bag- gage we need leaf springs, the past is almost immediately forgotten history to them and they very seldom give any thought to the future. They live, as we all should, fully in the present. I’ve heard it said that we are closest to God, to our source, to pure love in those moments when we lose track of time. When we’ve been engaged in some activity or thought and all of a sudden, boom, we are back in the world and min- utes, even hours, have gone by unnoticed. This is where kids, God bless them, live. Have you never wondered why kids are late so often? Why they seem to have no concept of “dinner time?” It’s not that they’re irresponsible or selfish. They are just so deeply in the “now” that they are unaware of times pass- ing. We might cut them a little more slack if the next time we angrily asked them “Where the heck have you been?” they replied, “I was with God.” Which, to my mind is pre- cisely where they’ve been. As adults we are still able to go to that wonderful place too, if we let ourselves. I’ve been there on a number of occa- sions. Writing for hours at my computer, so deep in thought that neither my bladder nor my stomach can get my at- tention, building a deck, com- pletely and utterly absorbed with the task at hand, even playing hockey. Although, to be honest, my experiences with goaltending have more to do with praying than any- thing else. And so, I sat there that night, nose pressed to the screen, transfixed. Osmotically, drink- ing in as much of that inno- cence, that blithe simplicity as I could. I think it worked too. For a few blessed moments nothing else in the world mat- tered and I was once more just a kid with chalk in my hand and all the time in the world. I was with God.

Energy alliance needs to harness power of architects and planners with new ideas To the editor Re: ‘Durham in need of en- ergy changes before it’s too late’, editorial, Aug. 31. Yo ur editorial aptly de- scribes the work of the Dur- ham Strategic Energy Alli- ance. I could not help but make a connection between its quest for an imaginative new approach to energy and the unimaginative, old ap- proach brought to develop- ments. Decade after decade we witness the same unsustain- able approach; expanse upon expanse of roof tops; each dwelling with its own source of heat and air-conditioning; miles of service roads and no public transportation. The waste is colossal. The Durham Strategic En- ergy Alliance should rope in architects and urban plan- ners who have attractive, new ideas for developments. Aside from energy waste, there are times when devel- opment seems to translate into decimation; witness the trees destroyed near the new hotel being built in Ajax. Please, don’t tell me that I live on land that was once under the plow. Christopher Curran Ajax Real issue lies in drawing voters back to the ballot box To the editor: Re: ‘Electoral reform de- bate long overdue’, Aug 24. I concur completely with your editorial. However, while reform may provide a modicum of electoral democracy it will do nothing to solve the prob- lem of voters staying away from the polling booths. As one pundit has said, we need to be careful what we vote for. Electoral reform, proper- ly done will devolve power from the political parties and the media to the poli- cies enunciated by the indi- vidual elected persons, and through them to the voters. The reason people are staying away from the bal- lot boxes is that there is an absence of representative democracy. Since long before Seattle, Quebec City, Washington and Genoa, even extending to Lebanon and Iraq, democ- racy is being practiced in the style of ancient Greece, where democracy was called “mob rule”. An ineffectual mob breeds terrorists. The settling of the mob was accomplished in Eng- land by introducing the rep- resentative element into the democratic process. As things stand now, elected federal and provin- cial persons represent their respective political parties in matters of public policy and interest, while local pol- iticians represent the special interest groups, and the anti special interest groups. The result is that no one is representing the property and income tax paying gen- eral public. It is not only the politicians who can be fault- ed, they simply don’t know any better. The media also cannot be faulted. The purpose of the media is to capture an au- dience for their advertisers. They do that best by captur- ing attention by generating controversy and conflict. The media has no man- date, duty, responsibility for informing the voters on public affairs. They do that without being compensated, and therefore cannot be held accountable. There is a way, by thinking out of the box, to obtain a real functioning representa- tive democracy which space does permit explanation.

Heather stopped in front of the parents momentarily and to encourage a smile without embarrassing her (you know how kids are) Ms. Docherty asked, “Heather, can you get Merrylegs to smile?” At that exact moment, Merrylegs gave a huge nod of her head and curled her lip up for the picture.

Neil Crone enter laughing Ontario can benefit from current sites I t seems Premier Dalton McGuinty is finally starting to see the light -- at least that is before the lights go out due to a lack of energy supply in Ontario. The premier, following comments by Energy Minister Dwight Duncan late last month, has weighed in with his belief that new nuclear reactors must be a part of any discussion about main- taining or increasing Ontario’s energy supply over the next few decades. That’s because our current reactors are expected to reach the end of their life cycle by around 2020 and the lead time needed to build a new reactor is in the 12-15 year range. It doesn’t take a genius to realize budgeting and planning must begin within the next year if we are to replace outgoing reactors by 2020. The premier actually has an easy fix for at least some of his nuclear woes -- and it’s right here in Durham Region. Already the centre of nuclear expertise in Canada with two large nuclear stations in Pickering and Clarington, Mr. McGuinty can look to this region for solutions to what ails Ontario. Clarington Mayor John Mutton has made it clear his munici- pality has a ready site, adjacent to the current Darlington Nucle- ar Reactor, which could accommodate at least four more units. It’s also possible that the knowledge gleaned from the attempt to refurbish Pickering’s aging units could be used to fix the wear and tear on Darlington units over the next decade or so. While nuclear energy is expensive to build and has a limited lifespan, it’s also efficient and produces clean power at a reason- able price. While it would be terrific if we could find alterna- tive sources of power which were sustainable (such as solar or wind) and cheaper, it’s not practical in such a large industrial area like southern Ontario. Only nuclear, which produces mas- sive amounts of power in a very small area, makes sense at this time. The production and implementation of new reactors should buy us the time to look into and develop other sources of energy which, hopefully by mid-century, will be a better choice than nuclear. For now, bring on the reactors Mr. McGuinty, before we’re left in the dark.

Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Gridiron glory PICKERING — Ajax-Pickering Dolphins’ ball carrier Denver Wright attempts to elude the tackle of Oshawa Hawkeyes’ Cameron Gair during Central Ontario Minor Football League atom division action at Kinsmen Park in Pickering on Sunday. Lacklustre third period didn’t help Pickering’s cause either By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — There were subtle signs that suggested the Pickering Pan- thers were in for a tough night at the office Sunday night. Even before the puck dropped for the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League game between the Panthers and the Vaughan Vipers, there were instances of foreshadowing of things to come. From the screeching microphone used during the pre-game introductions to Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan losing his footing and falling on the red carpet en route to centre ice for the ceremonial faceoff for the home opener, the signs were not good. And, it wasn’t long into the game that those signs began to manifest them- selves. At the 3:02 mark of the first pe- riod, Pickering goaltender Mark Duch- esne stuck out his stick to intercept a Vaughan pass from Michael Hanoun headed through the crease and acci- dentally steered the puck between his pads. In the end, the Panthers suffered their first defeat of the season in front of a half-full Pickering Recreation Complex, 6-3. The Panthers opened the season with two road victories, the second coming in Huntsville against the Huntsville-Muskoka Otters 6-1 on Friday night. Pickering’s undoing Sunday was a subpar third period in which the visi- tors reeled off three unanswered goals, including two markers within a 44- second span. Most frustrating for head coach John Winder was the lacklustre third period came on the heels of a strong second frame where Pickering controlled the tempo and scored twice to knot the score at 3-3. Winder explained a lack of puck pursuit was the cause of his team’s third-period woes. “I thought after the second period we were going to take it to them but, what happened was we were quite happy to let them be first to the puck. They were winning a lot of the battles for the loose pucks and that hurt us a little bit. You never like it when your team’s not out there battling,” he said. “Full marks to that team tonight. They wanted it more than us. They skated harder than us and they were willing to pay the price. And our guys, I don’t know whether it was the two wins (previous to Sunday night) we got, but they figured they could sit back and not play as hard and still win. But, I thought they found out to- night that if they’re not willing to battle they’re going to get beat.” The Panthers also missed the offen- sive contribution of second-year for- ward Greg Riggs, who sat out the home opener for missing a team meeting. “He’s one of our guys who can get the tempo of the game up,” said Wind- er. With the Panthers being a team that’s played well historically in Pick- ering, Winder said he’s not concerned that the loss in the home opener could be a sign of things to come. “We’ve got too much pride for that. We’ve always had a great home record. We lost two or three games at home last season, so I fully expect it to hap- pen again. We believe (a bad home record) is not going to happen,” said Winder. Chad Beal, Brett Connolly and An- drew Dissanayake scored for the Pan- thers. In Friday night’s win over the Ot- ters, Winder noted the key to the game was his team’s ability to stay out of the penalty box. It didn’t hurt that the Panthers burned the Otters for four first-period goal. Richard Schofield with two, Beal, To dd Hosmer, Daniel Silva and Dis- sanayake scored. The Panthers host the Oshawa Le- gionaires at the complex on Friday at 7:30 p.m. On Saturday, they’re in To ronto to play the Thunderbirds at We stwood Arena at 7:30 p.m. SCORING SUMMARY Vaughan at Pickering Period 1 Vaughan - Michael Hanoun (Paul Ro- drigues, Adam Connor) 3:02 Vaughan - Marcus Daley (Houston Zuck- erman, Matthew Martello) 13:28 Pickering - Chad Beal (Andrew Dissanay- ake) 17:37 Period 2 Vaughan - Anthony Metallo (powerplay) (Mark Schiraldi) 1:16 Pickering - Brett Connolly (Richard Schofield, Adam Bell) 12:20 Pickering - Andrew Dissanayake (John Soames, Tyler Melancon) 19:46 Period 3 Vaughan - Michael Hanoun (Gregg Eskedjian, Marcus Daley) 7:14 Vaughan - Matthew Martello (Marcus Daley, Marco DiBiase) 8:58 Vaughan - Gregg Eskedjian (Mark Schiraldi, Adrian Fucile) 19:20 PENALTY TOTALS Vaughan 24 minutes on 12 infractions Pickering 16 minutes on 8 infractions OTHER FACTS GAME LENGTH: 2:03 ATTENDANCE: 176 SCORING SUMMARY Pickering at Huntsville-Muskoka Period 1 Pickering - Richard Schofield (short- handed) (penalty shot) 7:39 Pickering - Chad Beal (Richard Scho- field, Daniel Silva) 11:12 Pickering - Todd Hosmer (Andrew Dis- sanayake) 12:41 Pickering - Daniel Silva (Chad Beal, Craig Cole) 15:04 Period 2 Pickering - Richard Schofield (Tyler Mel- ancon, Kevin Huinink) 9:33 Huntsville - Kyle Schmeler (Mackenzie Koopmans, Jake Yard) 11:36 Period 3 Pickering - Andrew Dissanayake (Steve Boyle, Ryan Annesley) 8:36 PENALTY TOTALS Pickering: 32 minutes on 12 infractions; Huntsville: 34 minutes on 16 infractions OTHER FACTS GAME LENGTH: 2:16 ATTENDANCE: 425 All signs lead to loss for Panthers in home opener Concussion kept talented forward on sidelines last season By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — There’s no one on the Pickering Panthers roster more happy for the start of the hockey season than Richard Schofield. Last season for the veteran forward was spent on the sidelines, marked by frustration and dealing with the un- known, hoping that near-constant head- aches he endured following a concus- sion would subside and allow him to get back on the ice with his Panthers’ teammates. But, it’s a new season and thankfully for Schofield, it’s been pain-free. Most of all, he’s relished the chance to resume his junior hockey career. “I feel great. I can’t put it into words. I loved the game of hockey and missed it. Just being healthy and being around the guys again.” It’s been a long road back to the ice for the centre-wing, who missed most of last season with the concussion, suf- fered only three games into the exhibi- tion campaign following an open-ice hit in a pre-season game against the visit- ing Capital District Selects of New York state. Sadly, he never played again last sea- son -- his injury wouldn’t allow it. “I was so anxious to get out there,” he recalls. “Halfway through the season, I realized that I couldn’t go. I tried to help out as much as possible, go out to the games, and stay positive.” Schofield emphasizes that, although he wasn’t on the ice, he was still part of the team, and still learning by watching the games and interacting with his team- mates and the Panthers’ coaching staff. “A s much as I was frustrated I did learn from it,” says the 18-year-old Pick- ering resident. “I watched the games and learned, even though I didn’t get to play.” Originally, his condition, he says, was diagnosed as a concussion, but he later suffered bouts of what was thought to be post-concussion syndrome, that carried with it frequent headaches. Later, it was finally determined his condition was a pinched nerve in his neck as a result of the jolt to his head. His injury, however, isn’t a closed book, even though he was medically cleared to resume training and skating in July. He’s still undergoing follow-up treatments called network spinal analy- sis, designed to release tension between the vertebrae. The treatments, he says, have completely alleviated his condi- tion. “I feel a lot better -- no headaches,” he says. Panthers’ head coach John Winder noticed right from the start of the train- ing camp that Schofield was back to feeling, and playing, like he did before his injury. “It looks like he hasn’t missed a beat,” said Winder during training camp. And, so far, Schofield has been on a tear in the Panthers’ first three regular- season games. In Huntsville on Friday night against the Huntsville-Muskoka Otters, he scored two goals, including one on a penalty shot while the Pan- thers were short-handed. He also scored a goal in Pickering’s 7-6 win over the North York Rangers in the season open- er on Sept. 11. In Sunday’s loss to the Va ughan Vipers in the Panthers’ home opener, Schofield contributed an assist. Although injuries have hampered the Panthers’ on defence, Schofield says the team is deep in veterans and experi- enced forwards, that hopefully will allow Pickering to be one of the upper-echelon teams in the league’s South Conference and go deep in the post-season. “We hope to make a real long playoff run this year,” he says. Schofield healthy, happy to be back with Pickering juniors Pickering rookie goalie shines in net for Bowmanville Eagles Bryan Scott posts shutout in first junior ‘A’ start By Brad Kelly Staff Editor DURHAM — A Pickering rookie net- minder has been nothing short of im- pressive in his first three starts with the Bowmanville Eagles junior ‘A’ hockey team. Bryan Scott backstopped the Eagles to three wins, including posting a shut- out in his first ca- reer start, as the Eagles blanked the Muskies 1-0 in Lindsay Friday, followed by a 4-1 decision over the Oswego Admi- rals on home ice Sunday at Bow- manville’s Garnet B. Rickard Recre- ation Complex. The three-game sweep was completed in Cobourg on Monday, as the Eagles outplayed the Cougars en route to an easy 6-1 victory in OHA Ontario Pro- vincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League East Conference action. “I went in and felt really confident. I went out there, did my thing and felt calm,” said the 18-year-old Pickering res- ident who graduated from Dunbarton High School. Last season, he was one of the main reasons the Uxbridge Bruins Jr. C team advanced all the way to the Ontario semifinals. He led the Central League with a 2.05 goals against aver- age. In his Provincial Junior A Hockey League debut in Lindsay, Scott turned aside all 32 shots, while a couple of nights later, his shutout streak was broken after 73:30 when Oswego’s Matt Puntureri, an ex-Oshawa General, scored the only goal to get past him on the weekend. He faced just 16 shots Sunday, and only 11 more in Cobourg Monday, but his totals are impressive, stopping 57 of 59 pucks fired his way. As for a souvenir from his first start, the puck from his shutout is sitting in his stall in the dressing room. “In the last five minutes it got a little hectic,” he said of trying to preserve the shutout, and more importantly, nurse a 1-0 lead, leaving him no room for error. While the final few minutes seemed like an eternity, he tried to avoid looking up at the clock, counting down the min- utes and seconds to his first victory with a new team. “You can’t do that,” he said. “You just have to play the game until the last sec- ond and that’s what I did. I kept my focus, didn’t worry about how much time was left, and didn’t even look at the clock until it hit zero.” While Scott was almost unbeatable, coach Curtis Hodgins wasn’t ready to ordain him as a Hall of Famer. “Time will tell,” said Hodgins. “Three games doesn’t make a career, but he played very well. We like what we see out of him. He’s a gamer, willing to learn and wants to learn.” Bryan Scott ANNANDALE CHURCH ST.

The Panthers’ peewees were decked out in their new look black, red and white jerseys, complete with an updated, ferocious Panther on the logo, for the first time at the Rich- mond Hill event. In the final, the Panthers scored an impressive 5-1 victory over the Markham Islanders of the Greater To ronto Hockey League. The win avenged an earlier loss to Markham during the round-robin segment of the tournament. This time, the Islanders faced a more determined Panthers team, which was full value for the champi- onship victory. Nicholas Gucciardi led the way with two goals, while Mitchell Palm- er, Liam Sopher and Michael Spataro added one apiece. Josh Grant, John Milonas, Andrew Thomson and Cory Wells all chipped in with one assist apiece. Goalie Justin Urquhart back- stopped the win. The Panthers cooled down the Georgina Blaze 2-1 in overtime in the semifinal. Spataro emerged as the hero, scoring the dramatic over- time marker. Palmer scored the other Pickering goal, assisted by Grant. Mitchell Sora was outstanding in net. In the tournament opener, Picker- ing faced the pre-tournament favou- rite, Newmarket Redmen, with the Panthers earning a hard-fought 6-3 victory. Thomson, Palmer, Milonas, Wells, Gucciardi and Blair Williams all scored. Thomson added two as- sists, while Gucciardi, Palmer, Wells and Williams all had one. Urquhart was solid in goal. The Panthers handled the Aurora Tigers easily in Game 2, winning 8-0. Sora earned the shutout. Gucciardi and Aidan Masse paced the Panthers attack with two goals apiece. Sopher, Milonas, Williams and Grant added one apiece. Thomson contributed three assists, Masse and Williams two, and Sopher, Wells and Gucciardi had one apiece. With Markham hungry for a win over Pickering in Game 3 to advance to the semifinal, they ramped up the intensity, winning 5-1. Grant scored, unassisted. Urquhart handled the netminding duties. Contributing throughout the run to the championship were Liam Ready, Patrick Morgan, Richard Thompson, Jeremy Davis and Anthony Novak. Rob Wells, Denis Masse, Phil Mor- gan and Gord Thompson coach the team. Seb Spataro is the trainer and Patty Grant is the manager. Pickering peewees dressed for success The Pickering Panthers Dalar Contracting minor peewees captured their first tourna- ment crown of the season at the recent Richmond HIll Early Bird Tournament.

The group’s initial version, led by sing- er and guitarist Ryan Chomiszak, broke up after close to three years together. “We called it quits and had a big fight and then I started playing with four new guys,” Chomiszak says. “I decided to keep the name because the old Ever- since Eve made a pretty good impact on the scene.” So good in fact the band has just signed a development deal with Big Boom Entertainment, a company whose clients include artists like Joss Stone, Craig David and Wide Mouth Mason. While nothing is guaranteed, Chomiszak says it’s a big step forward. “I guess when you’re in a band you’re always looking to get signed,” he says. “That’s what they say about love, you can’t find love unless love is looking for you. We weren’t really looking to get signed, we were looking to get a demo recorded, sell them at shows, get some fans and keep doing that process.” And unlike hordes of young bands which later recall horror stories regard- ing signing contracts, Eversince Eve had a huge advantage in that area. “I go to school for music business management, so I kind of have an un- derstanding of contracts and how the industry works,” Chomiszak says. “When you get a first draft for a contract, there are always a few things that catch your eye. But I was one of the first guys on board saying, ‘This is our chance. Let’s do it!’” As for the band itself, Chomiszak says he went to high school with three of the other band members and the chemis- try was immediate, especially between himself and lead guitarist Jay Eldon. “We wrote a song together and it took us about 15 minutes to write,” he says. “We blew the people in the studio away. “I can’t believe how fast it’s gone and what good friends we’ve become now,” he says. “Him and I, we’re best friends, it’s unreal. The five of us are like family, we’re like brothers.” Other band members are drummer Ta v Hotoyan, lead guitar Shane Emman- uel, both of whom do backup vocals, and bassist Ryan McAllen. Eversince Eve plans on finishing up its album by year’s end and then play some showcases in New York and Los Angeles early next year to see what distribution deals might be available.Jason MacNeil musicroundup 7HO ELSE WILL BENEFIT FROM YOUR .EW #AREER 4R AIN ./7 FOR A CAREER WITH OPPORTUNITY 6ISIT WWWTRILLIUMCOLLEGECA /SHAWA #ENTRE MEDICAL • Medical Offi ce Assistant • Medica Laboratory Technician • Massage Therapy • Dental Chairside Assistant • Pharmacy Technician • Intra Oral Dental Assisting BUSINESS • Business Manager • Accounting & Payroll Administrator • Offi ce Assistant/Executive Offi ce Assistant SOCIAL PROGRAMS • Police Foundations • Legal Administrative Assistant • Development Service Worker • Community and Social Service Worker ACCOUNT MANAGER, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT – DURHAM – www.bdc.ca As a commercial lender,your primary function will be to develop new business and play a pivotal role in crafting customized financial solutions for Canadian entrepreneurs.

Herongate Barn Dinner The- atre presents Nunsense now through Oct. 29. The comedy begins as Sister Julia (Child of God), the convent chef, kills off all the nuns with botulism taint- ed vichyssoise. Five surviving nuns, who were playing bingo at another parish that night, then need to raise enough money to bury the remaining four bodies. They de- cide to do a fundraising show, Nunsense, to help raise the nec- essary cash. The show, by Dan Goggin, won the best off-broadway mu- sical award. Tickets for the Thursday, Fri- day or Sunday shows are $44.95; tickets for the Saturday shows are $49.95. There are matinees Oct. 2 and 23. For tickets, call 905-472-3085 or visit www.herongate.com. New show Nunsense at Herongate theatre Recycle!Rug hooking display at Ajax library AJAX — Anyone looking to get hooked on a new hobby may want to head to the main branch of the Ajax Public Library. During September, the Ajax Rug Hooking Branch is showing works in the foyer display case. Among the pieces on display are a variety of wall hangings, small rugs, and decorative pieces, including three- dimensional works. The group is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and one of the pieces in the display was a special project for the library. The ‘Library Rug’ hangs on the wall in the magazine area of the main library branch. The rug hookers meet on the first Monday of each month at St. Andrew’s Community Centre, 46 Exeter Rd. For more information on the rug hookers, call Grace Tanfara at 905-426-3491.
