It’s an important thing,” said the president of the White- vale and District Residents Association. “I’m really glad the government did this.” Natural Resources Minister David Ramsay introduced the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve Act in the legisla- ture Monday afternoon. If passed, the legislation will reinforce the conditions agreed to in a 1999 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that placed agri- cultural easements on some of preserve land when it was sold by the Ontario Realty Corporation. It will ensure all ex- isting easements are held in perpetuity and reinstate easements previously held and released by the City of Pickering. “The Duffins Rouge Agricultural Pre- serve contains high-quality agricultural land and is an integral part of the (pro- vincial) greenbelt plan,” said Mr. Ram- say. “Protecting our prime agricultural land helps to ensure our communities stay strong and healthy for generations to come.” As one of the parties to the MOU, Ms. Rider has been fighting for years to pro- tect the preserve in perpetuity, as was agreed to in the agreement. She was will- ing to take the fight to the courts, along with the Green Door Alliance (another signatory), but was hoping the Province would step up to the plate. She said the legislation is exactly what she, and the other people who have been fighting to save the land from de- velopment, wanted. “I’m really pleased. It’s a good move of Martin ‘had the guts to step up,’ says Holland By Tim Kelly Staff Editor DURHAM — Judge John Gom- ery’s massive report on the Quebec sponsorship scandal squarely puts the blame on former prime minister Jean Chretien and his staff -- and absolves Paul Martin of blame. The 1,000-plus page document, released Tuesday provides, in me- ticulous detail, how the plan to push federalism in Quebec in the wake of the razor-thin 1995 referendum vic- tory, went so far wrong. Ju dge Gomery, who heard from 172 witnesses over 136 days in hear- ings that stretched from Sept. 7, 2004 to June 17, 2005, found serious fault with the process which sent money from the federal Ministry of Public Works to a small group of Liberal- friendly advertising agencies in Que- bec. He found fault especially with for- mer prime minister Jean Chretien, Mr. Chretien’s chief of staff, Jean Pelletier, and program administrator Charles (Chuck) Guite. Without going through a prop- er bidding and approvals process, Mr. Guite signed off on millions of dollars in advertising contracts for sponsorship of federalist events in Quebec. Often, Judge Gomery said the evidence showed that little work was done for the contract fees. At times, kickbacks from the deals were paid back to the Liberal Party; only advertising firms that were gener- ous in political contributions to the Liberals, got any of the advertising business at all. Judge Gomery admonished the Chretien government for having lit- tle to no proper control over the pro- gram, for wasting large amounts of taxpayers’ money and for repeatedly ignoring internal audits and warn- ings from whistle-blowers about problems with the program. But Judge Gomery did not blame Mr. Martin for what went wrong, even though the current prime min- ister, also a Quebec MP, was the Pickering MP reacts to Gomery findings Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Sandy Rider, president of the Whitevale and District Residents’ Association, stands on the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve, which could be receiving long-fought-for protec- tion following a new piece of legislation introduced by the Province Monday. Two y outh injured one girl charged PICKERING — Two young people were injured in stabbings in Picker- ing on Halloween night, police said. A teenaged girl has been charged in connection with one incident, while a man was hospitalized after being stabbed numerous times in another, Durham Regional Police said. Both stabbings occurred dur- ing confrontations involving groups of young people in the area of Major Oaks Drive and Somergrove Cres- cent around 9 p.m. Monday, police said. Police believe the two assaults were related. In the first incident, a 17-year- old girl caught up in a confronta- tion among youths was robbed and slashed, police said.

He noted when the Seaton commu- nity is completed in north Pickering, there will be more than 250,000 people living in Ajax and Pickering. In an interview, he said a campus in west Durham is a goal. “I think of it as medium-term rather than long-term,” he said. “It’s a political decision and it won’t happen before the next (provincial) election. It will before the next election after that.” He added it would be a “joint campus, much the same as the Oshawa campus.” The campus wouldn’t duplicate what’s offered at the Oshawa site, but have its “o wn identity.” Mr. Polonsky was one of four nomi- nees for the award. The other nominees were Bill Ellis of Ellis Packaging, John Overzet of Carruther’s Creek Golf Centre and Ken Rueter of the Black Dog Pub. While accepting the award, Mr. Po- lonsky spoke of the colleagues he works with at the two schools, including those serving on the board of governors. “We have an amazing team. This is a big night for the team and I accept it on their be- half,” he said. Don Terry of Ontario Power Genera- tion presented the award, noting Mr. Polonsky is a stranger to no one. “Over the past two decades, he has overseen tremendous growth and devel- opment at Durham College, empower- ing students to achieve their education goal and gain meaningful employment in the community.” UOIT is in its third year and it’s the first new university in Ontario in 40 years. Mr. Te rry noted it took 15 years of work be- fore the school opened. “His contributions to the community reach far beyond his commitment to excellence in education and research. He can always be counted on to lend support and champion a cause for the betterment of our community,” Mr. Terry added. Mr. Polonsky used words like “tough” and “real” to describe the award. It was tough, he said, because of the competi- tion. It was “real,” he pointed out, be- cause “Durham College is one of the best colleges and that’s based on an objective measure.” He added people “don’t understand how big UOIT is. Drive by and see it.” DURHAM — Three businesses were recognized last week for their excel- lence. The Callery Group was the Ajax-Pick- ering Board of Trade’s winner in the one-to-nine employees category, while The Black Dog Pub won in the 10-to-49 division. Shandex Truck Inc. was the recipient in the 50-plus category. The honours were handed out last week during the board’s 11th Annual Business Excellence award ceremony, held at the Deer Creek Golf and Banquet Facilities, with about 300 people in at- tendance. The Callery Group was praised for having a natural entrepreneurial spirit. “They pride themselves on keeping pace with technology to communicate to clients and to follow compliance, cor- porate governance and privacy legis- lation,” said Dereck Mahanger of ING Insurance while presenting the award. The other nominees in the one-to- nine employees category were RoadArt Transportation and The Simple Alterna- tive Funeral Centre. In the 10-to-49 employee category, Duncan Fletcher, the advertising direc- tor with the Ajax-Pickering News Adver- tiser, said of the Black Dog, “The unusual marketing style of this establishment at- tracts customers worldwide. People have been spotted wearing their merchandise in Scotland and Zimbabwe.” Pub owner Ken Rueter joked, “There are so many customers here tonight.” The business has been operating for 12 years and Mr. Rueter pointed to his staff, saying, “Without them, I wouldn’t be here.” Other nominees in the category were Carruther’s Creek Golf Centre, Recover- Corp Inc., San Marco Roasters, The Local Exhaust and Ventilation Company, and Walker Head Barristers and Solicitors. Paul Thomas, of RBC Royal Bank, noted Shandex Truck Inc. encourages employees to treat everyone as a cus- tomer. “This, and their outstanding safety performance, are the attributes that en- able them to be the preferred supplier to a variety of prestigious, multi-national companies,” he said. Jennifer Shannon noted, “It’s been a bit of a tough year for Shandex Truck,” sharing that in May her father Greg passed away from cancer. “He loved his trucks. Nine years ago, he bought his first truck. It’s grown to 38 trucks. “This is an honour and a great end to a tough year for us. I want to thank our employees. This means more than you’ll ever know.” Other nominees in the 50-plus em- ployees category were Arnts Topsoil, Elirpa Construction and Materials Ltd., Re/Max First Realty, Rouge Valley Health System and Vandermeer Nursery. The Pickering Rotary Club also pre- sented a Community Leadership Award to Jim McKinnon, one of the founders of the Safe Communities of Pickering Ajax. ✦ College from page 1 Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade recognizes excellence in business community Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo From left, John Overzet, Gary Polonsky, and Ken Rueter were finalists for the Ajax- Pickering Board of Trade’s Business Person of the Year award, along with Bill Ellis. College, university will be here ‘sooner rather than later’ Works committee looking for options if border closes By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — Where Durham’s garbage will go in the event of a U.S. border closure was dis- cussed last Wednesday at regional headquarters. But the works committee met in-camera, and members weren’t talking when asked what’s on the table. Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle, also the com- mittee chairman, said some of the ideas brought forward at the meeting “would probably get some people cranked,” arguing there’s no reason to get the public worked up when nothing has been decided. “We’re looking at where within a reasonable distance of Durham... we could take it,” he said. “There’s some local opportunities perhaps; we don’t know if that’s for sure. We don’t want to get everybody alarmed and think the sky is falling. We’re not there yet.” He said there was no recommendation to the full regional council stemming from the meet- ing. While Michigan has moved to ban the import- ing of Ontario trash, the United States Senate and ultimately President George W. Bush must also be on board, Mayor Brunelle pointed out. Since the closure of the Keele Valley landfill site, Durham has been shipping about 150,000 tonnes of trash a year to Michigan. “That was a confidential report and I don’t think I can give you anything on that report,” said Brock Mayor Keith Shier, also a committee member. Both said the committee wants to let the pub- lic in on the information -- just not now. “A t the very soonest that’s possible,” said Mayor Shier. “I would like people to know quickly. There’s no reason to keep people in the dark.” While there are “probably some sensitive ne- gotiations to take place” first, he said he hoped the public would be in the loop in a couple of weeks. “It’s some distance away,” replied Mayor Brunelle when asked about informing Durham residents. “There is a desire on the part of the committee to get the information out there to squash the rumours that are out there.” A/P PA GE 3 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆NOVEMBER 2, 2005 155 Kingston Rd.

Durham Region’s works committee, at the Oct. 26 meeting, gave the job of designing the facility to Tot- ten Sims Hubicki Associates at a cost not to exceed $65,700. A report from Durham works commissioner Cliff Curtis outlines unsuccessful attempts to find other spots for the station. The Region’s property at 625 Kingston Road “does not meet the intent of the To wn Centre West Development Guidelines or the Kingston Road Corridor Study Guidelines,” he states. However other proposed sites were either not for sale or did not meet EMS criteria. The item comes before regional council for ap- proval Nov. 9.

The City has held firm to its position to develop the southern portion of the preserve. Mayor Dave Ryan said the City hadn’t heard from the Province as of noon Tuesday. “I’m very frustrated that the Province of Ontario says they want to work co- operatively and at the same time they choose to introduce legislation specific to one municipality and they don’t have the courtesy to provide us with a copy of the legislation,” he said. All he has seen is a news release, say- ing its similarly worded to the July letter. “This is not new news in so much as the Province said they would implement something (to protect the preserve),” Mayor Ryan said. He wanted to stress the City of Picker- ing is in full support of the greenbelt, just not with its “arbitrary” mapping in Pickering. “The government is yet again stick- ing to an arbitrary drawn map of the greenbelt,” Mayor Ryan said, adding the City offered to include land in northeast Pickering into the greenbelt three times the size of the area in the preserve that it wants removed. He said if the easements are rein- stated, it would have no effect on the $2.5-million legal settlement reached by the City with preserve landowners in ex- change for converting some easements to inhibiting orders in February, as that deal was made without conditions. Once reinstated, the easements would continue to be held by the City of Pick- ering, although Mr. Ramsay said with the restrictions under the legislation, “it would almost not matter who held them.” Ms. Rider said since the preserve is in its jurisdiction it does make sense that the City hold them. “I would prefer an independent body holding them, but if (the City retains them) I hope they respect them,” she said. Mr. Ramsay said the house leaders would decide when to put the legislation on the schedule for second reading, but with the other protections in place there is no worry anything will happen to the land. 1999: Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is signed, placing agricultural easements on some of the land in the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve as it is sold by the Ontario Realty Corporation (ORC). The easements are held by the City of Pickering. June 2004: The City of Pickering passes the second phase of its Growth Manage- ment Study, which calls for development in the southern portion of the preserve. January 2005: Fifteen preserve land- owners initiate legal action against Picker- ing to have the easements removed from their properties, saying the Conservation Land Act, which was used to create the easements, does not authorize the cre- ation of that sort of easement. Feb, 24, 2005: The Province of Ontario passes the Greenbelt Act, which protects 1.8-million acres of land in the Golden Horseshoe, including the DRAP, from development. Feb. 28, 2005: At an in-camera session, Pickering council approves the conver- sion of easements in the southern por- tion of the preserve to inhibiting orders as part of a deal to settle the lawsuit. The City gets $2.5 million in return; if the land is developed it gets a minimum of another $60 million. April 11, 2005: Both MPP Gerry Phillips, then chairman of management board, and ORC chief executive officer Tony Miele send a letter to Mayor Dave Ryan making the Province’s position on the preserve clear and expressing disap- pointment with the City’s actions. The letters say the Province is considering legal action. June 7, 2005: The Green Door Alliance and Whitevale resident Sandy Rider file a contempt application with the Ontario Municipal Board asking it to enforce the 1999 order that created the easements. The two were parties to the MOU. June 29, 2005: The OMB denies the request, saying it has no jurisdiction to enforce the order. July 29, 2005: Ministers David Caplan and David Ramsay send a joint letter to Mayor Ryan saying if the City doesn’t reinstate the easements, the Province would have to take action, i.e. pass legis- lation to protect the preserve. Oct. 31, 2005: Mr. Ramsay introduces the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve Act into the legislature. If passed, the leg- islation will reinstate the easements and ensure all existing easements are held in perpetuity.

The D uffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve: A timeline to provincial action Ryan frustrated with lack of information regarding legislation ✦ Ryan from page 1 ✦ Pickering from page 1 Pickering man in hospital Metroland Adrian Jones had been charged in October 2004 DURHAM — A Pickering man has been cleared of several charges relat- ing to a violent home invasion. Adrian Jones, 19, was originally charged with robbery, forcible con- finement and other offences fol- lowing the October 2004 robbery in which armed men confronted a 55- year-old man at his Markham home. The man was left tied up in his base- ment and his house was robbed. A neighbour provided York police with the licence plate of a car at the scene of the incident. The vehi- cle was tracked to Scarborough and three men were charged. Court records show that charges against Mr. Jones were withdrawn Sept. 29. finance minister during much of the program. Ajax-Pickering Liberal MP Mark Holland said Mr. Martin “was the one who had the guts to step up and take this on and he changed some of the things that allowed this to occur in the first place. We’ll act immediately upon all the recommendations. “Anybody should be upset at this abuse or any other abuse that oc- curs. For anybody as taxpayers, even though this happened in Quebec, it doesn’t matter. It impacts us all equally and get us extremely upset.” Oshawa Conservative MP Colin Carrie shrugged off Judge Gomery’s conclusions on the current PM. ““Paul Martin has lost the moral authority to govern. I believe that a government that’s lost the confidence of the house should be held account- able. “Though Paul Martin was exoner- ated, he was part of the Quebec wing of the party... we have an extreme democratic deficit in this country. Canada has never had a sadder day than today,” said Mr. Carrie. Mr. Martin has constantly stated that he was not involved in the pro- gram in any way, and Judge Gomery’s report bares out that claim. The re- port also vindicates Mr. Martin’s vow to get to the bottom of the scandal. Mr. Martin dumped the program as one of his first acts on taking office as prime minister in December 2003. But the program became front-page news and a scan- dal for the Liber- als after Auditor General Sheila Fraser outlined massive prob- lems with it and its abuse of tax- payer’s money in a report in February 2004. Shortly after Ms. Fraser’s report was made public, Mr. Martin prom- ised an inquiry into the whole affair. On Tuesday, the prime minister said the Liberal Party would pay back the full cost of the inquiry: about $1.14 million. He also reiterated that the feds would sue 19 people and companies for $44 million in lost taxpayers’ funds and said the report would be referred to the RCMP for legal action. Federal party leaders had varying reactions to the release of the report. Conservative leader Stephen Harp- er said he doesn’t want a Christmas election, but will defeat the govern- ment at the next chance -- Nov. 14 -- if the Bloc Quebecois and NDP are onside. NDP leader Jack Layton, who has helped prop up Mr. Martin’s minority government for the past 17 months, said he doesn’t feel the prime minis- ter has done enough since the report was released, but is waiting on the government response to see whether he will support the government. Mr. Martin has also vowed to call an election within 30 days of the re- lease of Part 2 of the Gomery Report. Originally scheduled for release on Dec. 15, Judge Gomery was granted a six-week extension and is expected to release the second half of the report by Jan. 30, 2006. It’s expected that Mr. Martin would then call an election in early March which would take place in early April 2006.

I had no sooner clicked on its icon when I was notified, via a smarmy little “pop-up,” that there was a free, upgraded version of this software available for down- load. Would I like to download it now? Of course I would. Like most of us, my computer has very successfully turned me into a trained pigeon who will eagerly peck at the red dot to get food or, as the case may be, click for a free downloadable upgrade. What happened next is what always happens. What was sup- posed to be a two-second open- ing of an application to get one tiny little bit of business looked after, became a 20-minute in- stall of features I will never use, but simply have to have. And I wonder where the day goes? I sat there, staring at the screen and the slowly inching progress bar. I now measure my life by this slowly inching prog- ress bar. If my wife calls me for din- ner or if one of the boys needs me for homework help, my re- sponse is invariably “Be there in 3.2 seconds!” I began to think how conve- nient it might be if there were free downloadable upgrades for life. Simply connect a cable into the USB port behind your ear and let the computer and the Internet do the rest. I think I might welcome an e-mail from MSN telling me that my career worries were over as version 9.07 of “Talent” was now avail- able. And I know from experi- ence that there are multitudes out there still operating on Manners 1.0. I think it would be informa- tive as well to see, of the vari- ous upgrades available, what choices people made. Which, for instance, do you think would be the bigger seller, Literacy 6.05 or Stud Muffin 4.2? Handyman 7.6 or Party Animal 9.03? And how would a woman take it if her hubby gave her Hooters 9.9 for an anniversary gift? Or for that matter if she gave him Cuddling 3.5? Do you see where this is going? Computer software and its staggering rate of obsoles- cence has created within the human race a feeling of never being satisfied, of always feel- ing we need something newer, something better. And that if we are only patient and loyal customers, that newer and bet- ter version will come along very shortly. And our lives, conse- quently, will be infinitely bet- ter. I believe in evolution. I be- lieve we are, contrary to what we see on CNN and the front page of the Sun, getting better as a species. I think things can’t help but get better. That’s the plan. But I also believe it is vitally important that we not down- load every version of this or that into our lives, simply because it is free. We need to make choic- es that serve us, that evolve us, that make us and this planet better. Perhaps if we are looking for things to download they should be labelled Love 9.0, Kindness 8.8 or Tolerance 7.02. Interest- ingly, these upgrades have al- ways been available and they’ve always been free. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Follow Neil’s BLOG drinfo.ca/croneblog.html Not proud to be a Canadian when it comes to our pride To the editor: Born in Toronto in 1930, I am proud to be a Canadian, but not always. Compared to the vast ma- jority of our American coun- terparts, our ‘pride in coun- try,’ falls dramatically short of what it could and should be. We do have many things for which to be proud, but patrio- tism isn’t one of them. My wife and I lived in the U.S. for six years and saw the Stars and Stripes flying proud- ly and prominently, not only on government buildings, but on many homes. For several years, we op- erated a small restaurant at Wasaga Beach and were one of only three commercial es- tablishments proud enough to fly our national emblem at the front door. While temporarily living in the U.S., I was not proud to witness the Canadian govern- ment encouraging people to desert their country and flee to Canada for protection. When Canada thumbed its nose at George Bush when he asked for support of his intended actions in Iraq I was reminded of the slogan of the 1950s and ’60s, illustrating a so-called hippie, which read, “If you’re in trouble, don’t call the police, call a hippie.” The president was and is fully aware of the lack of mili- tary resources this country maintains and was, I suggest, seeking moral support and endorsement of his intend- ed actions, which, with the democratic movement ever increasing, has been proven to have been a wise course for him and others, to take. The result of Canada’s in- action has created an atmo- sphere that will take a very long time to heal. Think of this! If Canada was ever to be attacked, what country would come to our aid? France? Incidentally, I proudly vol- unteered and served in the Royal Canadian Navy, during the Korean War in 1952-53. Harold R. Keene, Ajax Reg ion should walk the walk on fuel costs and not talk idly To the editor: Re: ‘Pickering faces crude awakening, higher fuel prices,’ Oct. 21 Increased fuel costs for Dur- ham Region vehicles may also be due to wasteful practices such as this recent example. An ambulance was parked in the fire route of a Pickering retail store for at least 10 min- utes at 8 p.m. on Oct. 3 with the engine idling and no lights on. Inside the store, there were two uniformed ambulance drivers or paramedics who ap- peared to be walking around shopping for articles and didn’t appear to be responding to any obvious medical emer- gency inside. The most interesting aspect is that this occurred during a smog advisory (issued for York and Durham regions starting that Monday morning) and the most recent air quality index issued for Oshawa at 7 p.m. that evening, was 50, in the poor category, due to fine par- ticulate matter. So, with the ambulance’s diesel engine idling for at least 10 minutes and contributing to the poor air quality, wasting fuel, clogging an emergency fire route, contravening the Durham Region’s website ad- vice about avoiding idling of diesel engines, and setting a poor example of operation of a government vehicle, it should not be a surprise that our mu- nicipal property assessments and taxes are increasing sub- stantially.

New funding model needed for hospitals Durham health-care facilities not given fair share by Province F or many years now, it’s been a constant cry from Durham and other 905-area hospitals to the provincial government: Please fund us at the level you fund hospitals in the rest of Ontario. And, no matter which party is in power, the response has been thundering silence. Whether Durham had MPPs on the government side, which it did for eight years, or whether it now has them largely in opposi- tion (the lone exception being Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge’s Wayne Arthurs), the Province has refused to face reality: Durham’s growth rate, and that of its 905 cousins, far exceeds the rest of the Province. But our hospitals are not keeping up with our aging and grow- ing population. Unfortunately, when it comes to health care fund- ing, we’re still being funded as if it’s 1985, not 2005. It’s the same story when it comes to highway construction, so- cial service spending and other provincial responsibilities. We are the poor relations. The GTA-905 Health Alliance, tired of waiting around for Queen’s Park to do something, has made a sensible proposal to send some money to the hospitals which badly need it. The alliance is asking for the Province to retool the funding for- mula to bring back hospital development charges so those who buy new homes -- and there are thousands across Durham each year -- kick in something to help maintain and expand the hos- pitals they will use. Those development charges could amount to millions per year and would go a long way toward reducing the $14-million deficit Lakeridge Health currently runs. It would also help to fund the ambitious but needed expansion plans going on at Rouge Valley Ajax Pickering. There has to be a way to get more needed funding to Durham area hospitals. We shouldn’t have to face the prospect of staff cutbacks or reduced services in order to make a budget which is clearly unrealistic given the demands made on local health facili- ties. And since it seems as though the Province can’t or won’t pony up the cash needed to maintain our hospitals at a proper level, let’s get development charges back in place. It may be the only reasonable answer. P PA GE 7 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆NOVEMBER 2, 2005 AT TEND PUBLIC MEETINGS AT CITY HALL All meetings are open to the public.

The Pickering Fire Services asks you to please take care when using candles in your home. Keep lit candles in sturdy holders on level surfaces and if possible, place a glass chimney or shade over it. Candles can easily be knocked over, so keep them out of the reach of children and pets, and away from anything that can burn. Be sure to extinguish candles before leaving the room or going to bed. While all other major causes of fire are on the decline, fires caused by candles increased 47% between 1995 and 2001. By comparison, fires caused by cooking decreased 41% during the same period.

Oscar Hammerstein and Joshua Logan’s popular music, South Pacif- ic, will be presented Nov. 10 to Dec. 3 at the theatre on Russett Avenue in north Oshawa. The familiar story of the nurses, sailors, marines and the islanders they encounter will unfold on the stage, accompanied by the well-known music, including Some Enchanted Evening and I’m Going to Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair. “The thing that endears it to people is it’s a period piece,” said director Nina Foxall. “The age of innocence had not been lost yet. “It’s a lot of work. It’s a big show. One of the main things about it is the set and all the props. We’re doing a lot of art to make the set bright and make the audience feel like they are in the South Pacific.” One of the challenges was the fact the play is set in 1942, she said. “A ttempting to find props and equipment from 1942 was a night- mare.” But someone had heard CBC had a warehouse of props and rented them out, which sounded like a lifeline. Until the CBC lockout of its employ- ees ended recently, however, that lifeline wasn’t much good. But Carol Hatton, in charge of props, finally managed to get to the warehouse and rented things such as rifles, knives and an old radio, Foxall said. Meanwhile, rattan furniture has been rounded up from all over and crews got to work to make other fur- niture and props, she said. Another challenge is the size, which makes it hard for community theatre groups to do, she added. If OLT was smaller, South Pacific couldn’t be staged, she said, adding the budget had to be increased for the musical. Besides the props, costumes and ma- terials for sets, there are fees for the musicians, who make up the orches- tra. There’s a cast of about 45 people, with almost that many working back stage on sets, props, costumes and more. The play is set in 1943 when the Americans are based in the Solomon Islands, getting ready for an invasion of Japanese territory. French planter Emile de Becque is sought after by the Americans who want him to scout some Japanese- held islands. Small town American nurse Nellie Forbush finds herself falling in love with him. Meanwhile marine office Joe Cable falls in love with an island woman. He and the planter go on a dangerous mission behind enemy lines, with only one returning. Foxall said the music and com- edy of South Pacific are balanced by the darker theme running through the play of racism, found in both love stories. Written in the late 1940s, South Pacific is one of the first mu- sicals with an anti-racism message, Foxall said. Starring as Forbush is Jennifer An- drus, of Oshawa, making her first appearance with OLT. Michael Sch- neider, a Whitby high school teach- er, plays de Becque. Tough guy and entrepreneur Luther Billis is played by Lance Pask, who’s appeared in OLT musicals before, including Hello Dolly and Oklahoma. Bloody Mary, the island woman whose daughter Cable loves, is Heather Sessions, an OLT board member and actor. Cable is played by Todd Appleton, of Whit- by, who last appeared in Hello Dolly. There’s also a chorus of about 20 people. Norm Kitney is the musical direc- tor while Kerry Brough is the chore- ographer. The play runs Nov. 10 to Dec. 3 at the theatre, with curtain time at 8 p.m. with one matinee. Tickets are available by calling 905-434-4636.

Maia Kirk, a Grade 11 student, won the senior girls’ singles title at the Lake Ontario Secondary School Ath- letics (LOSSA) championships at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre courts in Whitby. Although engaging in a number of sports recently, including squash, hockey, swimming and dragon boat racing, Kirk found her ‘A’ game in a hard-fought final against St. Mary’s Gil- lian Daues. Kirk won the pro-set match 8-4. The semi- final also proved tough, as Kirk faced Paige Long of Ajax’s J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate, the daughter of Ajax tennis pro John Long. Long put up strong defence, but Kirk eventually prevailed, 8-3. Kirk won her first two rounds by scores of 6-1 and 6-0. As the LOSSA champion, Kirk moves directly into the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) championships in Windsor in June.

Connolly scores, fights, and is tossed Despite arriving late, Panthers’ big winger nets hat trick in memorable night By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — It was all in a day’s work for rugged Pickering Panthers winger Brett Connolly. While the second-year Panther ar- rived late for Sunday’s contest against the Collingwood Blues, owing to a christening for his nephew in Windsor that afternoon, when he hit the Picker- ing Recreation Complex ice, he scored a hat trick to lead Pickering to a 7-3 vic- tory in OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League action. But, that wasn’t all. One of Connolly’s three goals proved to be the winning marker, sparking a four-goal output in a three-minute span in the second period to effectively put the game on ice. If that wasn’t enough, Connolly also got tossed for receiving instigating and fighting major penalties late in the third period, and will be suspended for the next two contests. Connolly came to the aid of linemate Richard Scho- field who was cross-checked viciously by Collingwood’s Jordan Doig, who received a five-minute major, along with a fighting major. Connolly was at a loss to explain how he could show up eight minutes into Sunday’s tilt following a long drive, and then dominate so thoroughly in his best outing in a Panthers’ uniform this season. “I don’t know what it was,” said Connolly, who deservedly received first- star honours. “I thought my legs would be dead. I had a good first shift and sort of came on from there. My line- mates (Schofield and Patrick Jobb) helped me out big time tonight.” Panthers’ head coach John Winder was effusive in his praise of his winger. “It was quite a commitment from him to drive in from Windsor for the game,” he acknowledged. “It speaks huge about his dedication and charac- ter. Obviously, it was his most produc- tive game this year, but I think Brett’s played strong all year. He really works hard and most of the time he leads the drills in practice and it has carried on into the season.” Sunday’s big second-period offen- sive outburst was in stark contrast to the first period, when Pickering was unable to get anything going offen- sively. In fact, starting goaltender Mark Duchesne was forced to make sev- eral solid saves in the early going. The Panthers’ luck wouldn’t hold, how- ever, as an egregious clearing pass up the middle by Tomek Budziakowski was intercepted by Darcy Oakes, who made no mistake for the gift goal. To his credit, Budziakowski led the rush up ice to set up the Panthers’ tying goal, which came 12 seconds later. Captain Ryan Annesley got the goal. The first period ended in a 1-1 tie. The first goal would be the lone one Duchesne would give up until late in the third period when the outcome was all but decided. “He played fantastic. He’s just com- ing up huge for us,” said Winder. “We knew he was a good goaltender, but now we’re witnessing how good he can be. His puck-handling skills are out- standing. He’s like a third defenceman moving the puck to the forwards.” Sunday’s victory followed on the heels of a disappointing 5-3 loss to the Toronto Thunderbirds at the West- wood Arena Saturday night. Winder said tardiness proved pivotal to the outcome as 10 Pickering players ar- rived later than the prescribed time, owing to traffic congestion. Although they weren’t late for the warm-up or the game, he said lateness took its toll. The lack of preparation showed quickly, as the T-birds struck for four goals over the opening 40 minutes. Two goals early in the third gave the Panthers new life, but a short-handed marker by Steven Tamaridis with just under two minutes to go squelched Pickering’s comeback attempt. The Panthers (10-8-0-0 for 20 points, third in South Conference) are in Va ughan tonight (Wednesday) against the Vipers. On Friday, they’re on home ice at the complex against the Newmar- ket Hurricanes at 7:30 p.m. On Sunday, they play the North York Rangers at 3 p.m. Brett Connolly Lightning shock Raiders Goalie Clark unbeaten in last six games By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — The surprising Dur- ham Lightning continued to surge by putting together two solid road efforts on the weekend. The National Women’s Hockey League squad travelled to the nation’s capital for a two-game set against the Ottawa Raiders, taking three out of a possible four points from the top team in the league’s Eastern Division. Durham and Ottawa played to a 4-4 overtime tie in the finale of the two- game set at Ottawa’s Sandy Hill Arena on Sunday afternoon, with the tying marker coming off the stick of the Lightning’s Kyla Gillespie with 55 sec- onds remaining. Despite outshooting the hosts 7-0 in overtime and having a man-advantage in the early going, the Lightning had to settle for the draw. The draw came on the heels of a 2-1 overtime victory in the weekend opener on Saturday afternoon. Aman- da Reid scored the winner at the 2:10 mark of overtime. The Lightning were back in action Tuesday night at the Ajax Community Centre against the Oakville Ice, with the result unavailable at press time. The win and tie also pushed goal- tender Desirae Clark’s unbeaten string to six games since taking over the starting assignment from the in- jured Kendra Fisher. Once again, the rookie netminder delivered strong outings and she noted her teammates understood from the outset of the se- ries what was required for a success- ful outcome. “We knew what we had to do,” says Clark. “They came into our home barn and beat us 2-0, so we had to come into this weekend with passion and hard work.” Clark credited the support of her teammates with her unbeaten string. “My confidence is growing every game. My teammates are keeping me confident. They’re playing so well in front of me. I know that when I don’t put a rebound where I need to put it, they’ve got my back,” she said. Moreover, the players are starting to gel together as a unit, which Clark believes has been a big factor in the Lightning’s recent run of success, and a chief reason for the club’s marked turnaround this season. “In the last few games we’ve proved that,” says Clark. “We’ve beaten some big teams, so we’re starting to learn how to play with one another. We have great chemistry on and off the ice.” The Lightning (5-2-2-0 for 12 points, second in Central Division) are in Brampton tonight (Wednesday) for a clash with the Thunder that has first- place implications. A win would vault the Lightning into a first-place tie with Brampton -- a perch they’ve never oc- cupied in their six previous seasons in the league. The two teams will reconvene for a second game within the week at the Brampton Sports Centre on Saturday night.

The Attack under-18s kicked off the 2005-06 season by winning gold in Ajax. They had a slow start in the finals against the Scarborough Falcons, fall- ing behind 11 points in the first game. But, a quick timeout by the coaches paid dividends as the Attack made it close in coming up just short, 25-21. They gained confidence however and dominated the Falcons 25-17, 15-7 in the following sets to win the gold. Their weekend success places them firmly in the Ontario Tier 1 division. The Attack placed first in their pool, defeating the Toronto Royals and Oakville Thunder. They defeated the Waterloo Tigers under-17s 25-13, 26- 24 in the quarter-finals. This placed them against the powerful York Region Stingrays in the semifinals, which they won, 15-25, 25-15, 15-8. Meanwhile, at the recent Bowman- ville tournament, the Attack Black under-16s won silver and the Attack Black under-15s won bronze. The At- tack Red under-16s played a great tournament as well, placing fifth. In the finals, the Attack Black under- 16s came up short against the Scarbor- ough Vipers 22-25, 10-25. Some of their toughest competition was against their own club teams as the Attack Black under-16s defeated the Attack Red under-16s in the quar- ter-finals 25-22, 25-20 and, in the semi- finals, the Attack Black hung on for a 25-21, 29-27 victory over the Attack Black under-15s.
