Pickering Ward 1 Regional Council- lor Maurice Brenner’s plan was to go to Dallas to attend a transportation con- ference, but with Hurricane Rita hitting the Louisana-Texas border the same weekend, he learned a lot more than he expected. “The purpose of the trip became twofold: first was to attend the expo and secondly, we had the opportunity to have first-hand experience learning how to deal with emergency situations,” he said. Coun. Brenner went as the APTA chairman and was joined by Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean, who went as a member of the Durham fi- nance committee, and Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson, who went to learn about public transit options for the planned Seaton community in Pickering. They observed and spoke with emer- gency officials, as well they saw evacu- ees from Louisiana and other parts of Te xas who were being housed in a con- vention centre, abandoned jail and an arena. Coun. Brenner called the conditions deplorable. “There were people on cots in an underground garage at the convention centre with armed guards (keeping watch),” he said. “It’s conditions I’m not use to seeing.” The experience touched Coun. Dick- erson too. “To see thousands of people still on cots with only the basic rudimentary supplies. To see the National Guard with their rifles on their shoulders... It was heart-wrenching to see the evacu- ees and the conditions they were living in,” he said. Coun. Dickerson said the chaos ev- eryone saw when hundreds of thou- sands of people were told to evacuate should be a lesson for Pickering. Tr ansit trip turns into an emergency for Pickering See Pickering, Page 5 ‘The only people who have borders are us — the criminals don’t’ New chief wants vigilance ‘Criminals don’t have borders’: White By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — The inexorable creep of crime and violence can be stemmed through police vigilance and communi- ty action, says newly-installed Durham Regional Police Chief Vernon White. In an interview the day after taking his oath of office, Chief White said that while statistics continue to show crime rates lagging behind population growth in Durham, there is unease as reports of violence and gang activity continue to mount. This week alone, Durham cops are dealing with two high-profile, violent crimes: A shooting Saturday evening in Pickering, and a daylight stabbing Mon- day in downtown Oshawa. “There is certainly a perception there’s a lack of respect in the commu- nities, culminating in this violence,” the chief said. “Really, that’s what our focus has to be.” Chief White reiterated a pledge he made when introduced to the media this past summer: to work with com- munities to identify problems, and col- laborate on means of addressing issues. Violent crime and gang activity are priorities for Durham police, but cer- tainly not the only issues facing a service that serves and protects the booming region, Chief White said. However, he acknowledged that with each report of violent crime, residents look to police for a response to what they see as a growing threat.

Durham Regional Police investi- gated a report of shots fired on Field- light Crescent, in the area of Liver- pool and Kingston roads, around 6 p.m. Police located a victim with a gunshot wound near Monarch Av- enue and Bayly Street in Ajax some time later. Witnesses told police two groups of men were involved in a confron- tation on Fieldlight when someone pulled a gun and fired a shot. The victim, a Toronto man, was struck in the torso, police said. He was taken to hospital in Ajax and later transferred to intensive care Man wounded af ter shots in Pickering Pickering hospital takes precautions Staff wearing full gear in wake of outbreak in Scarborough DURHAM — The Rouge Valley Health System is taking every precaution to pro- tect staff and patients as public health officials deal with a mysterious virus that killed six residents of a Scarborough nursing home.

I n September, a series of community focus groups were held to provide input on our hospitals’ Clinical Services Report. This report, which was presented to the Rouge Valley Health System Board of Directors in September, was a critical step in the future creation of an overall clinical services plan for the organization. Community-based sessions were held in Whitby, Ajax, Pickering and Scarborough, and an additional round of focus groups were held at the hospitals for staff and physicians. The feedback gathered through these was compiled and presented to the board along with the final report. A two-day planning session involving staff, physicians and board members is the next step in the process. Participants will work with the report and the feedback gathered through the focus groups to formulate an action plan. Further input from the Board of Directors, the Community Advisory Committees and members of the community will also be sought before any implementation plans are presented to the Board later this year. The Clinical Services Plan will help shape the future of Rouge Valley Health System. It looks at the two hospital sites, the three mental health sites, and any other future sites that may be needed to serve the needs of our communities. It will provide direction regarding the services that are offered by clearly identifying the clinical priorities for each program and each site. Community focus groups held as part of clinical services plan process R ouge Valley Health System has welcomed four new hospitalists and a number of new specialists to its hospital sites over the past couple of months. “It’s been a busy summer for us in terms of drawing in new physicians to our medical team,” says Sonia Peczeniuk, Vice-President of Professional Services and Chief Nursing Executive. A hospitalist is a general internist, medical sub specialists, paediatrician or family practitioner, predominantly engaged in the care of inpatients on acute inpatient units. The Hospitalist program has been very successful in creating an interdisciplinary patient care model where the hospitalists and other specialists work together to provide high quality, efficient, Family Centred Care.

Rouge attracts new doctors Staff, physicians and an expert team of planners and building consultants are putting the final touches to documents to be submitted to the Ministry of Health and Long Te rm Care for two projects at Rouge Valley—the Redevelopment Project at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering and the Family Birthing Centre at Rouge Valley Centenary. Both of these projects are focused on creating the type of facilities that patients and families in east Toronto and west Durham need and deserve. At Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering the $59.1 million Redevelopment Project will result in a brand new Emergency Department, a 30-bed Complex Continuing Care Unit, a larger Diagnostic and Cardiac Diagnostic Department, a brand new laboratory, a renovated Ambulatory Care Unit and more Mental Health facilities. The community has pledged $20.7 million in support of this project. At Rouge Valley Centenary, the $20.5 million Family Birthing Centre will provide expectant families with a comfortable, home-like environment for low-risk, uncomplicated births, while providing all the equipment and expertise needed to handle more complicated high-risk deliveries. The Family Birthing Centre, with its Advanced Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, will enhance Rouge Valley's role as the Regional Perinatal and Paediatric Centre for east Toronto and west Durham. The Foundation has pledged to raise $10 million in support of this project and already has received $3.4 million in cash and pledges. The pre-tender documentation is being sent to the Ministry in December and October respectively. Both projects will require final approval from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care before a shovel can go in the ground.

Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario But company facing challenging times ahead By Charles McGregor Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — While it wasn’t ex- actly a landslide, 83 per cent of Gen- eral Motors of Canada’s skilled trades workers and 78 per cent of its pro- duction workers on Sunday voted in favour of approving the new three- year collective agreement with their employer. The CAW last struck GM plants in Canada in 1996, when the union fought GM’s plans to eliminate 5,500 CAW jobs through the sale of two plants and the transfer of union work to independent suppliers. That lasted more than three weeks. Total votes cast in ratification meetings Oct. 1 and 2 in Oshawa, St. Catharines, Windsor and Woodstock were 5,423 “Yes” and 1,387 “No.” In addition to a variety of improved health care, pension, insurance, on- the-job health, safety, environment and ergonomics benefits, the new contract will mean skilled tradesper- sons will eventually earn $40.57 and assemblers $34.18 an hour. Factoring in the cost to provide the benefits and other assistance, analysts say the combined hourly rate rises to well beyond the $60 an hour mark. GM’s $2.5 billion “Beacon Project”, the largest and most comprehensive automotive investment in Canadi- an history, which appeared to be in jeopardy, is still green-lighted to proceed. Following agreements with the pro- vincial and federal governments, the project’s investments will strengthen automotive engineering, manufac- turing and research and develop- ment capabilities in Canada. GM of Canada president Michael Grimaldi, said that the automaker, “Will build on its commitment to Canada and our employees with plans for new capital and technology investments.” He added that, “Invest- ment plans totaling approximately $750 million were confirmed during bargaining for the St. Catharines op- erations and the Oshawa truck and car plants.” Wo rkers at Canada’s largest auto- motive manufacturer thus followed Ford and DaimlerChrysler in agree- ing to a three-year contract which gives them moderately good wage increases but which, over its term, will cost about a thousand jobs at each company, largely through attri- tion and/or, at GM, $70,000 buyouts of those approaching retirement age. Pensions for GM’s “30-’n-Out” re- tirees, which are indexed, can reach more than $3,500 a month. On Sunday, Oshawa’s Civic Au- ditorium was packed on a warm af- ternoon as the union’s brothers and sisters turned out en masse to vote yea or nay and to hear CAW presi- dent Buzz Hargrove, CAW Local 222 president Chris Buckley and others involved in the bargaining sessions. CAW economist Jim Stanford point- ed to the Oshawa workers that going into negotiations the CAW team had four priorities, which they were suc- cessful in achieving: no concessions, job security, wages and optics which would show union responsibility. He and other speakers made it clear that G eneral Motors faces difficult times ahead, on both sides of the border. In Canada, the rise in the value of the loonie against the greenback is af- fecting all manufacturers who export product, and GM of Canada is the biggest of those, sending about 85 per cent of its production to the U.S. Additionally, the end of the major in- centives programs which have been in place all summer, including the vaunted “Employee Discount For All” marketing ploy, is expected to hit sales hard at all Canadian auto- makers. The monthly sales reports promise to be a grim reading matter. GM employees in Durham offer thumbs up to new three-year deal A.J.

There’s lots more news online at durhamregion.com New chief a 24-year veteran of policing By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — Vernon White has of- ficially assumed leadership of the Dur- ham Regional Police Service, vowing to build strong relationships with the com- munity and the officers who police it. “The public I serve includes the em- ployees of this police service and the public at large,” Chief White said dur- ing an installation ceremony Monday morning in Whitby. “I will ensure that every decision I make will include that consideration.” The new chief took his oath of office from outgoing Chief Kevin McAlpine, who marked his eighth anniversary as head of Durham police Monday. Chief White was hired by the police services board following an extensive search over the summer that included candidates from within and outside the ranks of Durham Regional Police. A 24-year veteran of policing, Chief White, 46, has spent the majority of his career with the Royal Canadian Mount- ed Police in the far north, gaining expe- rience in investigative and supervisory roles. Chief White has earned diplomas in business administration, sociology and psychology, and conflict management. Outgoing Chief McAlpine reflected on his tenure as head of a police service that has grown to meet the challenges pre- sented by a booming Durham Region. “While I am proud of our many ac- complishments, I am most proud of the organization we have built on the foun- dation of those who came before us,” Chief McAlpine said. “Together we have made a significant difference in the lives of so many of our citizens. “From the generalities of feeling safe to the specifics of the victims whose cases we have investigated, our work has been well done.” Durham is a safe community, he in- sisted. But he allowed criminal influ- ences from Toronto and elsewhere in the GTA are showing up in the region. “The only people who have borders are us -- the criminals don’t,” the chief said. He said Durham police will continue to concentrate on intelligence gather- ing, working within the region and in concert with other GTA police forces, as a way of heading off criminals before they have a chance to gain a foothold in communities. “If we’re not intelligence led, we’re not led,” Chief White said. He has also vowed to quickly em- bark on get-acquainted visits to all parts of the region, looking to establish ties with agencies, educators and others to strengthen community responses to crime. “People can make their communities uninhabitable for criminals,” he said.

For those in the education sector, it’s not surprising that research from On- tario teacher federations shows almost 40 per cent of teachers and staff have felt bullied. Bullying reported in the re- search ranges from repeated disrespect- ful behaviour and verbal abuse, to in- timidation and racial and sexual slurs. Disrespectful behaviour is primarily the bullying Bob McDonnell has heard about during his time as the Durham secondary school president for the Ontario English Catholic Teach- ers Association (OECTA). “I don’t know if I’d call it bul- lying,” he said, adding he could see how others would. Mr. McDonnell added it’s a prob- lem almost every teacher prob- ably faces. Physical abuse he’s heard about involves teachers getting hit while breaking up fights. Mike Pautler, superintendant of human resources for the Durham Cath- olic District School Board is “not really” surprised by the research findings ei- ther. “It would be consistent with my expe- rience working in schools over a career,” said Mr. Pautler. He added if a survey was completed inquiring if parents felt bullied by their children, many would likely report the same types of experi- ences. Part of a school’s obligation, espe- cially for the faith-based Catholic board, is to help form values and fundamental respect, said Mr. Pautler. The principal at each school is required to ensure a safe culture for teachers and students and many schools have programs and plans in collaboration with the commu- nity to help create responsible student behaviour. The majority of students are not involved in bad behaviour, he added. Joe Hircock, a superintendent for the Durham District School Board, said he hasn’t heard any teacher complaints about bullying and 95 per cent of stu- dents are excellent. He added teachers surveyed could have been bullied by some of the same students. Mr. Hircock said although bullying is an all encompassing word used in the teachers federations’ research, he sees it more as disruptive behaviour. The board has progressive discipline pro- grams, which increase consequences with repeated occurrences of poor be- haviour. “Manners and respect are the wel- comed format,” said Mr. Hircock. “It’s a mutual relationship... We can’t tolerate students being abusive to teachers.” Each school agenda outlines accept- able behaviour for students and parents to read and if a student feels they are not being treated fairly, there is proper procedure to handle their concern. About 1,200 educational workers were surveyed at random for the research, commissioned by the OECTA, Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation and The Elementary Teachers’ Federa- tion of Ontario.

The Cherokee®“RIP” style sport shoe has an elastic cord and toggle instead of laces. The elastic cord can be pulled to form a large loop, posing a potential strangulation hazard to young children. The shoe comes in two colour combinations: taupe, red and charcoal for boys and grey, lilac and charcoal for girls. It was available in children's sizes 5 through 12 at Zellers stores across Canada beginning in July 2005, for $17.97 (or less when on sale). Although there have been no reports of injuries, Zellers has removed all remaining inventory from its stores and urges customers to stop using the shoes immediately. You may remove the hazard by cutting off the elastic cord, and throwing it away together with the plastic toggle. Alternatively, you may return the shoes to any Zellers store for a full refund. Zellers takes its commitment and responsibility to its customers seriously. Should the Company discover a problem with any product, it will take appropriate measures to ensure that the matter is brought to the attention of its customers and corrected. For more information please contact: Zellers Customer Service at 1-888-226-2225 Important Safety Hazard Notice Katie Cronin-Wood, director of com- munity relations, said the majority of cases from Seven Oaks Home for the Aged went to Rouge Valley Centenary, but Rouge Valley Ajax has also been af- fected. “We have had to deal with other hos- pitals in the system to deal with the strain,” she said. In addition to taking extra patients, the triage staff at the Ajax and Pickering hospital have been in full gear -- mask, hat, booties, gown and goggles -- in the event a staff member from or visitor to the affected facility comes into the emer- gency room. “It’s all the lessons learned from (se- vere acute respiratory syndrome) SARS that you take the precautions,” Ms. Cro- nin-Wood said. “Both Rouge Valley Ajax and Centenary take infection control very seriously.” Anyone coming into the hospital is also being screened; if they have any respiratory symptoms they are put in a mask for the protection of other pa- tients. Ms. Cronin-Wood said the precautions would continue while Ontario Public Health investigates the outbreak that af- fected 68 residents, eight staff members and three visitors to the home. in Toronto with serious, life-threaten- ing injuries. It’s believed the shooting arose from a street level robbery outside a home on Fieldlight Saturday, police said. Po- lice received no other reports of inju- ries as a result of the fracas. An investigation continues. Anyone with information is asked to call Detec- tive Dan McKinnon at 905-579-1520, extension 7800, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. “I’ve tried to say for years what are you going to do here in Pickering if you have an emergency evacuation,” he said, add- ing there should be a plan in place for tankers on the side of the road to refuel vehicles, as well as washrooms and food and water stations. “When you see what happened in the States it makes me think we have a whole lot more planning to do here,” he said. Coun. Brenner said by talking with officials in Texas about their emergency management plan, it showed him the holes in the local plan. Locally, there is an evacuation plan, he said, but there is no plan for what of- ficials would do with people once they’d arrived at the pre-determined location. Coun. McLean, who’s had plenty of experience dealing with emergencies from his days as a Toronto police officer, said Dallas had a hierarchy of people dealing with the emergency, similar to Pickering, with the police down near the bottom. “But that’s where everybody turned,” he said, adding he believes execution of an emergency plan should start with police because they’re the ones dealing with situations like that everyday.

No big deal since usu- ally, in my part of the world, you can’t throw a stone with- out hitting a Hereford. Just don’t get caught. But this time around something grabbed my eye that made me slow down for a closer look. In the midst of this slowly shifting sea of hugely muscled animals, there strode a goliath. A giant among giants. A bull. He was magnificent. He was easily a foot higher than any other beast around him and with his massive hump and what I can only describe as truly impressive “tackle” he was definitely “the man”. Yo u have to see one of these things to really un- derstand what I am talking about. They have an unbe- lievable presence. I parked the van on the shoulder to get a better look. He stopped what he was doing and slow- ly and deliberately he swung his locomotive of a head to- wards me. I don’t speak bull but his message was perfect- ly clear. He was telling the big shiny metal thing to back off, these were his women. And I don’t mind tell- ing you, even surrounded by steel and protected by a fence, when that guy took a half-step forward and fired a warning snort in my direc- tion, my hand went for the ignition key. These animals do two things and only two things, and they do them very well. He’d given me a taste of his talent for bellig- erence, now he proceeded to show me why they call him the “Love Machine.” As he lumbered from wide- eyed female to wide-eyed fe- male I felt a little like a per- son driving by a car wreck. I knew I really shouldn’t look, but I couldn’t help myself. The act itself is an incredible blend of romance, violence and a kind of athleticism that defies the laws of physics. It’s what you might end up with if you combined a rail- road hump-yard with a Barry White concert. Although the audio portion sounds more like Orson Welles trying to tie his shoes. Halfway through this spec- tacle I caught myself smiling. It was not a lecherous or pu- erile smile. It was more the kind of smile you find your- self wearing when you get a chance to watch your favou- rite hockey star up close, or when you get your first real glimpse of a mountain or an ocean. I suppose it’s awe. Although, in this case I will admit there may have been a trace of envy in there too. Boil any man down to his essence and I’m afraid we’re all just like that bad boy in the field. Deep inside every guy, regardless of education, manners or culture, there’s a bovine straining at the hal- ter. Yes, it’s a short life, and all too soon, you wind up on a Styrofoam plate in Zehrs, but while you’re here man, you’re living out loud. It’s just eat, drink, fight and please the ladies 24/7. Come to think of it, I guess it’s like being Russell Crowe. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Follow Neil’s BLOG drinfo.ca/croneblog.html We need a strong local hospital To the editor: Re: ‘We must make the case for hospital expansion,’ editorial, Sept. 23. Yo ur editorial was great. This failure by the Ontario government to approve the Ajax and Pickering Hospital expansion so important to our communities is symptom- atic of the problems that have plagued the hospital since 1998. In 1998 the government forced the Ajax and Picker- ing Hospital into a merger, a shotgun marriage with Scarborough Centenary Hos- pital. The solemn vows and undertakings entered into at the time of that shotgun mar- riage to protect and enhance the health services of the Ajax and Pickering Hospital have never been honoured or ful- filled. The failure of the govern- ment to approve promptly the much-needed expansion is some of the best evidence of an ongoing deterioration in hospital services. The merger with Centenary must be dis- solved, the marriage ended. What needs to happen? First, the people of Ajax, Pick- ering and Whitby must de- mand that the government approve the hospital expan- sion immediately. Secondly, the great worry and concern many of us have about the future of the hospital must be ended. The communities of Ajax, Pickering and Whitby, with 300,000 people and growing each day, need and deserve to have a major community hos- pital. The solution is for the government to develop the hospital into a major commu- nity hospital with all the re- quired services, from obstet- rics to geriatrics. This means Ajax and Pickering Hospital must have its own board of directors chosen from the people of Ajax, Pickering and Whitby, plus its own adminis- tration. We need a local board and administration to cham- pion and advocate the hospi- tal and health needs of Ajax, Pickering and Whitby. Since its beginning in 1954, Ajax-Pickering has been a fine community hospital with great doctors, great nurses and great support staff. We, the people of Ajax, Pickering and Whitby have a respon- sibility to see that the gov- ernment develops the hospi- tal into a major community hospital to serve our growing health needs. It’s our commu- nities, it’s our hospital, it’s our health. Bill Parish Ajax Pickering could clean up its image To the editor: I read in the past months that Councillor Maurice Brenner was concerned with the garbage collecting on the Whites Road Hwy. 401 off- ramp, blighting the gateway to Pickering. Once the various levels of government decide who is going to pick up after the thoughtless motorists (a simple sign warning of a fine would go a long way to stop- ping the littering), perhaps we could go a step further and install a decorative highway sign alerting motorists of our fine city. This small and inexpensive signage has been done by many of the cities and towns that straddle the 401, giving the city a further excuse to maintain some of the green- ery adjacent to the highway.

Neil Crone enter laughing Chief was good for force’s bottom line A s he leaves a force he radically restructured, Chief Kevin McAlpine’s legacy to the Durham Regional Police will be his ability, over and over in lean financial times, to win whop- ping funding increases for his force. Yo u could call him Chief Cha-Ching. No doubt his seven years as Durham’s top officer were extremely healthy ones for the force’s bottom line. You can credit the chief for large increases in the number of officers on the street, for equip- ment improvements and for a general improvement in the profes- sionalism of Durham policing. Before he arrived, Durham lagged behind other Greater Toronto Area forces. Now, with the exception of Toronto, which leads the country, Durham cops are right there in terms of pay, equipment, benefits and all the rest. It has been, however, quite a different story when it comes to the chief and his relationship with the rank-and-file. Less than three years into the job, the chief faced a revolt when a survey of officers showed a vast majority wanted him to quit. Backed by a loyal police services board, the chief indicated he had no intention of quitting. He blamed some of the dissatisfaction with his attempts to improve performance. Just a few years later more trouble developed when the chief called in the OPP and initiated an internal investigation of his entire drug enforcement unit when a former member of the unit launched a complaint. The investigations dragged on and on resulting in acrimony within the drug unit and requests for transfers by its officers. No charges were laid in the 18-month investigation and the lin- gering wounds felt by some officers run deep. That leaves the outgoing chief with a mixed legacy: good at poli- ticking and budgeting, not so good at employee relations. Kevin McAlpine can leave the job knowing he made a difference, even if not everyone on his watch agreed with him. Vern White is a newcomer to Durham and has the advantage of a clean slate. He is joining a community that respects the law, but that is beginning to see the effects of living in the shadows of a metropolitan centre. Grow ops, gangs, violence all leave residents a little unnerved. The people of Durham would be reassured by a highly visible chief who symbolizes leadership and a strong force against the criminal element. Chief White, the ball’s in your court.

The Pickering-based artist recently finished her eighth commissioned painting for the organization, and has started a ninth. All of the paintings have been placed in the boardroom and depict key landmarks in the com- munities that Veridian serves. “The last one was of the Port Perry municipal centre, and my ninth is a painting of Gravenhurst town hall,” said Beach. “They’re usually town halls, although with Uxbridge it was the library, and with Ajax it was the waterfront.” Beach, who makes her living as an artist, also commissions for the City of Pickering, and teaches art classes. “I’ve been teaching classes since 1996,” she says. “I teach watercolour classes through the culture and rec- reation program of Pickering, and I teach at Curry’s Art Store in Whitby.” Te aching helps to supplement her income. “Artists don’t get rich until they’re dead,” she laughs. “It’s a pretty tough struggle.” The struggle is made easier by her love of painting. “It’s a lifelong passion of mine,” she said. “It’s the making of it, not the end result that is important. It’s such an interesting process, how one thing leads to another. The work tends to feed off itself.” Though she did not receive any for- mal training in her youth, she sought to rectify that by enrolling at the On- tario College of Art and Design in 2000. Calling it a great experience, she majored in drawing and painting and graduated in 2004. As she continues to paint and in- struct others, she has found other avenues to give her work exposure. On Oct. 1 and 2, she took part in the Station Gallery’s studio tour and sale, which allowed people to visit Beach at her home studio and see her work up close. “It’s a great chance for students and the public to come out and see my work. I have about 70 pieces hang- ing around, including acrylics, cards and experimental pieces.” Those experimental pieces may alarm the untrained eye, for Beach does not limit herself to portraits. “I do the more traditional representa- tions, that’s how I put myself through school. But I have another side that likes to play around with non-tra- ditional, non-objective pieces that aren’t made to resemble something. It’s quite liberating, and it’s more of an emotional response.” The pressures of making a living off her art have not dulled her enthusi- asm for it. “It’s something that comes from within, that you’re driven to do. It just seems to be a need that I have to fulfil. I’m happiest when I’m work- ing.” PICKERING — Some Men of Note are coming to Amberlea. The Amberlea Presbyterian Church welcomes the 40-member Men of Note voice choir for a concert Saturday, Oct. 15 at 7:30 p.m. The Stouffville choir formed in the spring of 1999 and has performed on more than 80 occasions. It performs regularly throughout the Greater To- ronto Area and has a full schedule of concerts throughout the year. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children.

Rik Emmett in concert Oct. 7 DURHAM — Ye ars ago, Rik Emmett spent his time writing music, recording and performing with the popular To- ronto-based band Triumph. To day, he still writes, records and per- forms solo but he’s also teaching young people as much about the business end of the music industry as he can. Emmett teaches a music business course to jazz students at Humber Col- lege. He also still writes and records and plays several gigs a month. On Oct. 7, he’ll be performing at Oshawa Little Theatre, Russett Avenue, backed up by Marty Anderson and Dave Dunlop. Also performing that night will be Oshawa’s Dan Clancy, of Lighthouse fame, and an entertainment industry instructor at Durham College. He’ll be accompanied by bass player Steve Steel. Emmett said today’s budding musi- cians need a solid background in the business end of the music industry, ev- erything from marketing to contracts to promotions, in order to succeed. When asked if he knew anything about those topics when he started out, he laughed. “I’m a guy who can say ‘Been there, done that,’” he said. “It always astounds me to realize that they don’t know any- thing about the business part of music in this information age. They’re actually better musicians, much better players at their age that I and my counterparts were. Change happens extremely fast so they have to be very adaptable.” He considers his teaching career is helping to pay back for all the success he had as a young musician. The hard rock trio Triumph pumped out gold and platinum albums, including several that went gold in the United States, by the time Emmett went solo in 1988. Since then, he’s released several solo CDs, including smooth jazz, blues and a singer/songwriter one. He’s currently collaborating on a rock album, his first in more than a decade. He prefers express- ing himself through music in a number of genres, although it does make it hard to classify him, he said. Tickets for the 8 p.m. concert are $28, $40 for VIP, and are available at Long and McQuaid Music, Simcoe Street North, Oshawa.

Bad ice, however, threw cold water on their plans. With the Panthers’ players waiting to begin their warm-up prior to their OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League game in Vaughan, the decision was made to postpone the game, due to ice problems. Va ughan “was one of the teams we didn’t play up to our potential against. They beat us 6-3 in our home opener, and we were hoping to go in and redeem ourselves,” says Panthers’ head coach John Winder. Winder says the decision to postpone the game was made in the best inter- ests of the play- ers, as the ice was unsafe. Rink attendants were reportedly shav- ing the ice at the Al Palladini Com- munity Centre and, in doing so, created grooves in the ice along the boards and blue lines. An apology for the postponement was issued on the Vipers’ team website. Monday’s postponed game followed on the heels of a 6-4 loss to the North York Rangers at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday night. The loss evened the Panthers’ sea- son series with the Rangers at one win apiece. With the game tied 4-4 late, the Rang- ers scored two goals within 26 seconds to send the Panthers to their fourth loss of the season. For Winder, the disappointment was not with his charges’ effort but with the continued influx of “foolish” penalties that have haunted the team. “O nce again we ran into uncharacter- istically foolish penalties,” says Winder. “Slashing, holding and interference pen- alties, in my mind, are not smart penal- ties. I have to accept that my team will take penalties, but the type of penalties they’re taking aren’t working penalties and I’m not happy with it.” Although the Panthers (4-4-1-0 for nine points, tied for fifth in South Con- ference) didn’t necessarily suffer from their trips to the penalty box, as their penalty killers were perfect on the eve- ning, the frequent infractions had the net effect of destroying any rhythm to the game. “We would go to being a man up to, in 30 seconds, being short-handed. We weren’t getting any flow to the game. The whole apple cart gets upset,” says Winder. With veterans players A.J. Ward (two- game suspension) and Richard Schofield (shoulder injury) out for the contest, and Brett Connolly ejected for fighting in the early going, the Panthers had to rely on rookies, and a couple of them stepped up their games. Most notably was right-winger Tyler Melancon, who played on a forward line with centre Todd Hosmer and left-wing- er Andrew Dissanayake. Melancon, who played last season with the Quinte ‘AAA’ midgets, scored his first ever junior ‘A’ goal and also set up two markers, includ- ing one by Patrick Jobb, who also scored his first junior ‘A’ marker. “Tyler was flying,” says Winder. Jobb also received praise from Wind- er. Playing on a line with Connolly and Chad Beal.

The pre-OFSAA meet, hosted at the Camden Brae Golf Course, near Kings- ton, attracted cross-country teams from across southern and eastern Ontario. The senior girls’ team -- mostly graduates from the junior girls’ team that won back-to-back Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) titles -- finished with a strong second- place finish, scoring 88 points, behind only Grimsby Secondary School, which scored 56. Individually, Emma Young finished in ninth place in the senior girls’ division, which attracted 177 athletes. Close be- hind in 11th was Amber Cushnie, followed by Julie Gardner (23), Nicole Love (45), Carolyne Gardner (46), Alex Clark (56), Kailey Lynch (130), Jacquie Richards (134) and Maia Kirk (149). In the midget girls’ division, Lindsay Ta ylor paced the Pumas with a 23rd- place finish. Stephanie Myers placed 74th and Rosalind Chalmers was 123rd. The category attracted 140 runners. Justin Millard was the top Pine Ridge finisher in the midget boys’ division, placing 29th. Graham Young finished 85th in the category, which had 139 ath- letes. Heather Wilton fell because of injury in the junior girls’ event, but still man- aged to pick herself up and finish the race, placing 81st out of 162 runners. Melissa Conroy was the top Pine Ridge athlete in the category, placing 61st. Daniel Cain represented Pine Ridge in the senior boys’ division, finishing 143rd out of 248 participants. The Pine Ridge cross-country team will compete tomorrow (Thursday) at the Chicopee Invitational at the Chicop- ee Ski Club, near Kitchener. The team will also run at the Heart Lake meet in Brampton on Oct. 14 in preparation for the LOSSA championships, to be hosted at Pine Ridge at Beverley Morgan Park on Thursday, Oct. 27. [ Basketball ] Durham City seeks volunteer tutors DURHAM — Durham City Basket- ball is looking for high school students in Grade 11 and 12 who excel at math and English to assist the organization in its tutoring program. Started by club vice-president and coach Teran Richards, the program seeks to help players having difficulty with those two key high school subjects. More subjects are planned for later. Eli- gible volunteers can earn credits toward the 40 hours of volunteer service they must have for high school graduation. Classes are on Sundays. This volunteer program is another way students can earn credits at the club. Students earned credits in 2004- 2005 helping with the organization’s basketball program and as the 2005- 2006 season starts this week, there are opportunities in that area as well. For more information, call Durham City Basketball at 905-427-4253 or e- mail info@durhamcitybasketball.ca. The club’s website is at www.durhamcitybas- ketball.ca. [ Equestrian ] Ajacian to test her horse sense against Canada’s best AJAX — An Ajax Pony Club mem- ber is heading to Ottawa to test her equestrian knowledge against the best in the nation. Dawn O’Neill, of Ajax, will help rep- resent the Central Ontario Region at the Canadian Pony Club National Quiz in Ot- tawa from Oct. 7 to 10. Pony club mem- bers from across the country qualified to represent their regions by finishing in the top four in their level at regional quiz meets held earlier in the year. Quiz differs from most pony club ac- tivities in that it does not require horses or ponies. Pony club members compete as individuals and four-member teams. Quiz is organized according to pony club testing levels, with teams at the ‘A/B’ and ‘C’ levels at the national quiz. There will be three phases: a writ- ten test, a visual test where competitors have to identify strange, obscure and un- usual equestrian objects by sight (older competitors often have to read an X-ray) and ‘Quiz Stations’. There are games that are fun for everybody. For example, one calls for the player to identify various horse-related objects that have been put into socks, by feel alone.

The Rangers won 6-4.Patrick Jobb After eight years, Pickering curler hopes to trade silver for gold at Winter Games in Italy By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — With the new curling season underway, Richard Hart is fully aware that this might be his last, best chance to achieve an elusive Olympic gold. The Pickering curler, who plays third on skip Glenn Howard’s rink, admits he’s hungry to represent Canada in February at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Torino, Italy. And, he believes there’s some unfinished business wait- ing for him there, eight years removed from his silver-medal win at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. “It’s definitely on my mind,” says Hart, 36, of his gold-medal aspirations during a conference call last Friday. “This time, it’s with a different bunch of guys and a different philosophy. I would like to get one more chance at a gold medal. There’s definitely some unfinished business there.” The Howard rink got the curling sea- son off to a rock-solid start last week- end, winning the Shorty Jenkins Classic in Brockville, with Howard defeating the Nick Rizzo rink in the final, 8-1. The foursome, which also includes Brent Laing, from Huntsville, and Craig Savill, from Ottawa, is also coming off a profit- able 2004-05 curling campaign where they racked up $99,651 in winnings, putting them second on last year’s Ul- tima World Curling Tour money list. Howard’s buoyed by the early suc- cess, hoping his team can hang on to that magic formula for the Canadian Curling Trials at the Metro Centre in Halifax from Dec. 3 to 11. “A fter three weeks of curling together if we can hit it at the right spot we could surprise a lot of people,” says Howard, also on the conference call. But, Hart and Howard are acutely aware of big challenges to overcome just to get the nod to repre- sent Canada in Italy. Waiting for them among the 10 teams at tri- als will be chief rivals, the Kevin Martin rink, which represented Can- ada and won silver at the 2002 Salt Lake Games, and the Randy Ferbey foursome, both of Alberta, which, ac- cording to the Black Book of Curling, are ranked one and two in the world. As such, the Howard rink -- the num- ber-three team in the current world rankings -- is a definite underdog to se- cure the Olympic berth, and that suits the team members just fine. Hart believes the pressure will rest on the shoulders of those two skips, allowing the Howard crew to play their game and, hopefully, upend the two odds-on favourites. “In 1997, everyone was talking Mar- tin-Ferbey, Martin-Ferbey, so we just kind of slid under the radar a little bit. I don’t think everyone will be gunning for us, so that could work to our advan- tage,” says Hart. Having played the Martin and Fer- bey rinks at numerous events during previous curling seasons, Howard says he knows they’re noted not only for their take-no-prisoners approach, but also for their ability to put up points. The Martin rink, in particular, currently averages nine points per game, a full half point better than the Howard four- some. “We know their style of play. We know Martin and Ferbey are very ag- gressive and we’re a team that waits for opportunity and don’t give up a lot of points or big ends. We win a lot of our games by one or two points. We do what we have to do to win,” says How- ard. And, the Howard rink is taking no chances in the lead-up to the Olympic trials. The team had access to a sports psychologist during the summer, and has invited former world champion Wayne Middaugh to come aboard as an alternate for the trials. Howard notes the team decided to recruit Middaugh as insurance against any illness at the trials or the Olympic Games. It’s well documented that Mike Har- ris, Canada’s men’s skip at the Nagano Olympics, fell ill just prior to the gold- medal game against Switzerland’s Pat- rick Huerlimann in 1998, which may have affected Canada’s chances. With that in mind, the addition of Middaugh is purely precautionary, says Howard. “The crux of it was in 1998, Mike Harris wasn’t well to play in the final (and we didn’t want to get into that situation),” says Howard. “We needed a versatile player and Wayne can play any position very well. He’s a good friend of mine, the guys like Wayne and know him well and his strategy is second to none. Wayne 100 per cent believes in us and he’s a great fit, for sure.” But, Howard admits there was a di- vergent opinion among the team mem- bers as to what kind of a schedule to play in advance of the trials. Howard, Laing and Savill all leaned toward play- ing as much as possible, while Hart notes he wanted a few weekends off prior to the trials. A compromise was reached, allowing Hart a weekend away from the rink. The Howard team will use John Morris in Hart’s place at the Meyers Norris Penny Prairie Clas- sic in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba from Oct. 28 to 31. “We talked about it at length and we had different needs required to make things work. Brent, Craig and I wanted a similar sort of schedule as in the past; Rich thought it was one too many events for himself.” Olympian effort awaits Hart, Howard at trials Richard Hart Panthers’ Postscript Pickering Panthers’ head coach John Winder notes veteran for- ward Richard Schofield’s shoul- der injury is not serious, although he was kept out of the lineup for Friday’s game against North York and was unavailable for Monday’s postponed game in Vaughan. Scho- field is expected to be in the lineup Friday against North York...Veteran defenceman Michael Banwell is another two to three weeks from returning to the lineup after suffer- ing a broken hand. He’s hoping to start skating this week. Winder says Banwell’s presence on the blue line has been missed, with the club relying heavily on captain Ryan An- nesley and John Soames for extend- ed minutes because of Banwell’s ab- sence...Justin Fox, Schofield and Andrew Dissanayake lead the Panthers in scoring with eight points apiece.

Groen/ News Advertiser photo St. Michael’s Buzzers’ John Mann, left, and Ajax Attack’s Ryan Gouldby chase down a loose puck during OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League action at the Ajax Community Centre on Sunday afternoon. The Attack was buzzed by St. Mike’s 10-0. Aj ax At tack battered, bruised by St. Michael’s Buzzers AJAX — The visiting St. Michael’s Buzzers laid an all-out blitz on a hapless Ajax Attack team on Sunday. The Buzzers struck for five goals in each of the second and third periods en route to a humbling 10-0 victory over the Attack at the Ajax Commu- nity Centre. Attack goaltender Nunzio Presta faced a bar- rage of shots, with 52 sent his way, while his St. Mike’s counterpart Mike Binnington faced 16. The lopsided loss to St. Mike’s was in stark contrast to a solid performance by the Attack the day before at the community centre against the Va ughan Vipers. With the contest tied 2-2 after regulation, the Vipers notched the game-winner with 2:50 remaining in the five-minute extra frame. Ryan Rosati, returning to the Attack lineup after suffering an injury in the pre-season, struck for his first goal of the season. Brandon Bartlett netted the other Ajax goal on the power play.
