The Pickering 24 PA GES ✦ Pressrun 47,900 ✦ Metroland Durham Region Media Group ✦ SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2005 ✦ Optional delivery $6 / Newsstand $1 But minister says new framework will eliminate uncertainty By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — Lowering post-sec- ondary tuition costs would sacri- fice the quality of education, says provincial Minister Chris Bentley, following the launch of a student campaign to keep fees frozen. The Canadian Federation of Students launched a campaign re- cently to keep the current tuition fee freeze in place, which is due to be removed September 2006 and replaced with a new framework. “The campaign itself, basically we hope the student voices will collectively lobby to keep the freeze,” said Evan Muller-Cheng, a third-year student at Durham’s University of Ontario Institute of Te chnology. If the freeze is removed, stu- dents will have the additional worry of what each year’s increase will be and if they’ll be able to afford it, said Mr. Muller-Cheng. To make students aware of the coming change, stories have been written in the campus newspa- per and stickers are circulating, he added. “I think the perspective stu- dents who want to come to our school are going to have a deter- rent,” said Mr. Muller-Cheng. “I’d have to think twice about my fi- nancial situation and how I could handle paying off tuition fees.” He added even his mother is concerned about the freeze re- moval. Currently, Mr. Muller- Cheng’s annual fees are about $3,500 for tuition and $1,500 for laptop rental. In post-secondary education, Mr. Bentley, Ontario’s minister of training, colleges and universi- ties, said it’s important to improve quality and accessibility, not just focus on tuition fees, which could easily be lowered by increasing class sizes or reducing lab time.

Bennett’s has been a respected home furnishings retailer in Southern Ontario for close to 80 years. In the past 10 years they have grown from one store in the small town of Campbellford, north of Cobourg, to three stores, having added a large store in Peterborough, and now this impressive 27,000-square foot location at 1099 Kingston Rd in Pickering. Bennett’s new Pickering location features a beautiful mix of colours and ideas with styles ranging from traditional to contemporary. Company President Eric Bennett, who is the third generation Bennett to run the family business, has been delighted with the welcome he has received in Pickering. “We were already well known in the Durham area so lots of our former clients are visiting this new store, and new clients are coming every day to discover the unique style and service which Bennett’s is famous for. Our neighbours, the Board of Trade, City Hall... everyone has been so welcoming and accommodating, bringing us into the community right away” The furniture retailer, which was established by Eric’s grandfather, has a tradition of employees staying with the company for a long period of time. There are many employees who have been with the company for 20 years and more, and even one who has been with Bennett’s since 1967. Eric has great faith that the Pickering’s 14 employees will fi nd the same kind of home at the new location. Another long-standing tradition of Bennett’s is their commitment to the community. Bennett’s works with local hospitals and donates the money for each Simmons Beautyrest sold. Visit Bennett’s in Pickering on Kingston Road or online at www.bennetts.ca.

On Nov. 3 the Province announced it had approved the three design teams selected by the pre-qualified consortia for the project, which is to be followed by the request for proposals. “I was under the impression they’d approved these folks a long time ago and that the next announcement would be the location,” said the regional chair- man. “We really thought by now they would have announced the location so these folks could start working right away.” SNC Lavalin Profac Inc., Durham Courthouse Centre Corporation, and Access Justice Durham are the three consortia short-listed through the re- quest for qualifications for the Durham Consolidated Courthouse. Each com- piled a design team and submitted it to the Province for approval. Once the Province issues the RFP, the three teams will bid on and the winning team will build the project. “I am delighted that we have three strong design teams and can soon move to the final stage of the tendering pro- cess for the new 35,000-square-foot courthouse,” said Minister of Public In- frastructure Renewal David Caplan in a release. “We are currently on target for the construction to be completed by winter 2008-09.” Mr. Anderson said by just announc- ing the approval of the design teams now, the Province is going to be cutting it close on the deadline. He doesn’t believe the shovel will be in the ground until late spring or early summer since the location still hasn’t been an- nounced. “I hope they can work that fast,” he said. “At least they’re moving.” The Province said in the release, “the site location will also be determined soon.” The integrated facility will consoli- date justice services currently being de- livered from seven locations in Durham. It will house 33 courtrooms, five motion rooms and related justice services.

The 2005 reassessment was mailed to Pickering residents Oct. 13 from the Municipal Prop- erty Assessment Corporation (MPAC). Residential real estate prices rose an average of 9.9 per cent since the last assessment, while the total increase in all classes of property was 9.65 per cent. That’s down from an increase of 12.1 per cent in 2004-2005 and 13 per cent in 2003. The reassessment is revenue neutral, meaning tax rates are to be adjusted so homeowners whose property rose the average amount will not see an increase on their tax bills until the City goes through the 2006 budget process and there is a tax in- crease. However, those people who own detached homes on the water saw an increase of 11.1 per cent, which was above the aver- age, so their tax bill will increase. Condos increased only 6.7 per cent so condo owners will see a decrease. The area with the greatest in- crease was farms, with an av- erage 13.6 per cent change in value. As councillors and staff dis- cussed the reassessment infor- mation at the Oct. 24 manage- ment forum, they stressed res- idents can question or appeal their assessments. Residents can: call MPAC and explain their concerns; file a re- quest for reconsideration by Dec. 31, 2006, or file a formal com- plaint with the Assessment Re- view Board, which costs $75, by March 31, 2006. Pickering property values not increasing as much as past years PICKERING — After a hiatus last year, the Canadian Tapestry is back at the Pickering Museum Village. The day of cultural activities, including music, dance, food preparation, storytelling, arts and crafts, and children’s activities, is Sunday, June 11 from noon to 4:30 p.m. The planning for the event is already begun and organizers are looking for new members or former members to come out and share ideas. The multicultural celebration is sponsored by the Pickering Advisory Committee on Race Re- lations and Equity, the Pickering Museum Village Advisory Com- mittee and the City of Pickering’s culture and recreation division. The next meeting of the com- mittee is Thursday, Nov. 17 at the Pickering Recreation Complex, 1867 Valley Farm Rd, in Room 4 at 7 p.m. Those interested in assisting or participating are invited. Volun- teers are required to assist in ad- ministrative tasks. Performances or demonstrations are also wel- come. For more information or to confirm attendance, call Kim Kranc at the City at 905-420-4620 ext. 2099. Tapestry planning begins in Pickering P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, NOVEMBER 6, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Martin cleared with report release As the fallout continues over the release of the Gomery Report -- Part 1, the key question is how it will impact an upcoming election. That election, which could come as early as Christmastime but is far more likely to happen next spring, may turn on the public perception created by the findings of the Gomery Com- mission. The early returns seem positive for Prime Minister Paul Martin, who was exonerated in the sponsorship scandal. Most, if not all, of the cabinet ministers now on the Martin team had nothing to do with the scandal. One former cabinet minister, Alfonso Gagliano, who was heavily involved in it, has been kicked out of the Liberal Party along with others. The opposition is divided on how to deal with the Liber- als. The Bloc are ready for an election now, the Conservatives will go, but only if all three opposition parties are united. NDP leader Jack Layton has said he will not support the Liberals un- less the government makes moves to strengthen health care. If the proposals Mr. Layton sees by Nov. 14 are to his satisfaction, he will continue to back the government. If not, he may join the opposition to bring the government down. On Tuesday, the judge released the 1,000-plus page Part 1 of the report, a fact-finding document that put much of the blame for the misuse of taxpayers’ money on the shoulders of former prime minister Jean Chrétien and his political cronies. Mr. Chrétien, said Judge Gomery, controlled the sponsorship program out of his office and made sure it was administered by his chief of staff, Jean Pelletier. Various ministers, including then-finance minister Mr. Martin, had no control over how the money was spent or who received it. That control rested with the prime minister’s office. The advertising agencies awarded contracts for sponsorship events got them because they con- tributed lavishly to the Liberal Party. What’s worse, the judge discovered some of the money -- taxpayers’ money -- paid to the firms was then kicked back to the party. A number of Liberal operatives got rich on the taxpayer. As a result, the feds are trying to recover millions of dollars lost in the scandal. Part 2 of the report will indicate the judge’s recom- mendations to prevent another such scandal from occurring. It will be released in late January. Nurse calls for premier to keep promises To the editor: Re: More nurses are needed right now, editorial, Sept. 25. The Ontario Nurses Association (ONA) wants the govern- ment to aim for 12,000 new nursing portfolios by 2008. The Liberal Party promised some 8,000 new nursing positions over the course of its mandate. However, the Ontario Hospital As- sociation (OHA) is now projecting some 8,700 jobs will be lost in 2006 with 3,500 of these corresponding to nursing positions (ONA). Most hospital units are highly specialized, with a high level of acuity, early discharge and high patient turnover. The nurse must assess, plan, implement, then evaluate an in- dividualized plan of care for each patient. This allows the nurse to provide a high standard of care that meets the needs of each patient. What does this mean to the public? Studies show an insufficient number of nurses results in more medication errors as well as a higher number of post-operative infections. Even more alarming is the that the mortality rates increase seven per cent for each patient added to the nursing workload. The recipients of our health-care system need to be loud and clear. Tell the government you want a Registered Nurse. Remind the premier of his election promises by writing a letter and let- ting him know you want change, now.

Leads to poor health, motivation, but it’s taboo talk at work W e’ve all had those days at work where the stress and frustration and anger and re- sentment are so huge, it’s all we can do not to quit on the spot. For most of us, these days are few and far between. But when employees are subjected to long-term stress, the results can be catastrophic for our health -- not only for the people involved, but the work- places themselves, experts at a recent Durham Lives! seminar said. If we’re stressed, we get sick men- tally and physically far more frequent- ly and easily. Infections, cancers and substance abuse rates are higher. On the professional front, stressed- out workers have low morale and trust, are less creative -- or keep their cre- ativity to themselves -- and have little motivation. It’s all understandable when you consider we spend more of our awake time at the office with our co-workers than we do in our own homes with our families. Ye t stress and the accompanying disorders are so unaccepted and un- communicated in the workplace that most of have been forced to take men- tal-health days just to keep our sanity. Luckily, it seems things are on the cusp of changing. Recent court cases siding with stressed employees and statistics showing skyrocketing disability rates and lost production costs in the bil- lions are forcing employers to take a real look at the issue. Experts say workplaces need more than Band-aid solutions such as coun- selling and mediation when problems arise. Like resolving most issues, it’s all about communication and planning. So how soon can you expect im- provement in the office? Change such as this needs to start from the very top and filter down, they say, and judging by the attendees at the seminar, the message wasn’t quite reaching the right level. But let’s hope the messengers can spread the word up. Because -- deep breath -- we can all do with a little less stress. Carly Foster is a reporter with the Metroland Durham Region Media Group.

L1V 3R6 A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY LIFECARE FAMILY, CARING SINCE 1959 Retirement Residence Orchard Villa “When only the very best will do” “When only the very best will do” ren Stephens says that flu shots are an important part of caring for their residents. “Under the su- pervision of our medical director, annual flu shots are part of our wellness program and we’re happy to say that last year, 100 per cent of our residents and staff had their shot. We’re hoping for the same this year.” A ccording to Health Canada, an estimated 500 to 1,500 Canadians, most- ly seniors, die every year from pneumonia related to flu and many others may die from other seri- ous complication of flu. The Durham Region Health Department As- sociate Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Donna Reyn- olds, says “people need to understand the risks of be- coming ill with influenza and the importance of the flu vaccine to protect their health. Influenza is not the same as the common cold or stomach flu. Compli- cations for people at risk can lead to hospitalization and even death.” The health department kicked off its free flu shot clinics Nov. 1. Dr. Reynolds says to get full protection, it’s impor- tant to be vaccinated prior to December, before flu season arrives in full force. “Illness caused by influ- enza can be prevented or reduced by getting a flu shot early in the season. Everyone should consider being vaccinated to both avoid getting the flu and spreading the influenza virus.” Influenza spreads eas- ily from person to person through coughing and sneezing. It is also spreads through contact with un- washed hands and con- taminated surfaces. Once infected, a person may spread the influenza virus to others before he or she develops symptoms and up to five days after the symptoms start. Last year’s flu season saw the Durham Region Health Department vac- cinate over 14,000 area residents at community clinics. Health Canada says that after you get a flu shot, your immune sys- tem produces antibodies against the strains of virus in the vaccine. It takes two weeks after you receive the shot for your body to build protection against the influenza virus. Most importantly, the flu vac- cine cannot cause influ- enza because it does not contain any live virus. However, certain groups of people should not be vaccinated. These include children under six months of age and people who have had a severe allergic reaction to eggs or a previ- ous dose of the vaccine. In addition to health department free flu shot clinics listed below, shots are also available at many medical centres and doc- tors’ offices.

Sweet treats are the hallmark of the season. Unfortunately, most kids are cavalier when it comes to brushing and fl ossing; on their list of “important stuff”, cleaning their teeth falls somewhere between picking up their dirty socks and eating their brussel sprouts. This can mean disaster for their dental health. So parents or guardians have to play the role of Dental Hygiene Cop, making sure kids thoroughly clean their teeth each and every day. This becomes especially important during Halloween, when kids usually eat sweets much more frequently. Grizzly ghouls and ghastly goblins lie in wait this time of year in the form of plaque and cavities. The more frequently kids expose themselves to these demons by eating sweets, the more severe the attack on the teeth. Here are a few ways to minimize Halloween’s ghoulish effects on your child’s teeth: • The sugar assault usually begins before October 31 because candy in those cute Halloween wrappers start appearing on store shelves sometime in September. Encourage your child to eat healthy food fi rst, and to brush — or at least rinse her mouth — after eating sweets. • Sticky, gummy candy is worse for teeth than candy that has nuts or peanut butter because it adheres to the teeth and extends the time that teeth are exposed to decay- causing acids. Avoid buying sticky candy, and tell your child why. Kids understand more than you think. • Interestingly, it’s actually better for your child to eat several pieces of candy all at once than one piece of candy several times a day. Again, the frequency of the “sugar attacks” is the culprit, as opposed to the amount of sweets eaten at a given time. • Avoid hard candy all together for kids under age fi ve. It can chip or break their teeth or cause them to choke. • Make sure your child has a healthy dinner before she goes to a Halloween party or trick-or-treating. That way, there will be less room for sugary sweets. • Inspect all treats after trick-or-treating. Throw away unwrapped items or those with loose or torn wrappers. Homemade goodies should also go into the trash, unless they come from a trusted friend or family member. And toss the hard candy for the under-fi ve crowd (see above). Grizzly ghouls and ghastly goblins lie in wait this time of year in the form of plaque and cavities. • Ration the candy after Halloween! If your child has unlimited access to the treasure trove of Halloween confections, she will snack on it continuously, damaging her teeth and leaving little room for healthy food. Doling out sweets once or twice a day, after mealtime, is plenty. You may have to resort to hiding or freezing treats if your child is over six or seven years old. • Despite the excitement of Halloween, make absolutely certain that your child fl osses and brushes her teeth before bedtime. Within 24 hours, if not removed by brushing and fl ossing, plaque hardens into tarter and can then only be removed by a dental professional. Reaching a compromise with your child about Halloween treats will protect her bewitching smile from decay, while still allowing her to enjoy the fun of Halloween!

Happy Anniversary Celebrating 110 years of chriopractic, the To wn of Ajax’s 50th anniversary, and 20 years for The Children’s Wish Foundation ADVERTORIAL Everyone knows that with a decrease in temperature in the fall we must do certain chores around the house to ready it for the winter. The same is true for our car, including antifreeze and a thinner oil. But how many of us are aware of the need to “shape up”, to ready our bodies and muscles for the start up of that new ski or hockey season? Healthy feet and ankles must be fi t and strong to act as accelerators, steering, brakes and shock absorbers. Any weakness to these extremities can lead to injuries and even the end of a season of participation. A fi tness program should begin in the early fall to ready yourself by the sign of the fi rst fl akes. For skiing, strong quads and abdominal muscles are most important. Knee bends, sit-ups, crunches and skipping rope all help to strengthen your quadriceps and abdominal muscles. Racquet sports are equally benefi cial in maintaining cardiovascular benefi ts and reaction time. Greater fl exibility allows for a wider range of motion and minimizes the chance of strains. Stretch antagonistic muscle groups to maintain a point of tightness; hold for 40 to 60 seconds and release. Repeat each stretch three times. Strength of muscles is also important but overdoing it can lead to muscles tears. Warm-ups are most important before beginning the activity especially for cold weather sports. We idle our cars on cold winter days, but are we as kind to our bodies? Wa rm-up exercises help stretch muscles and allow for greater mobility. This minimizes the chance of injuries by allowing the muscles to be more responsive and act as better shock absorbers. Stream the part of the body used in the activity; for example, your legs in skiing or skating when warming up but also do upper body circular arm swings. A cool down period after the activity is also important. A sauna or whirlpool followed by a cool shower will help. Stop the activity when you’re tired.

Winter sports require proper clothing. Upper body layering will keep you warmer and always wear a hat to prevent heat loss. Proper foot wear includes insulated waterproof boots or shoes. Socks must remain dry to prevent the occurrence of frostbite. Those suffering from pre-existing circulatory problems such as diabetes or Raynaud’s Disease should consult their medical doctor. Ski boots and skates should fi t properly for a safe and uneventful activity. If the boots or skates are too loose, toes quickly get irritated in the toe box. If they are too tight, pressure leads to blisters and abrasions causing painful feet, which may compromise control and lead to injuries or accidents. Tight boots or skates can compromise control and lead to injuries or accidents. Tight boots or skates can compromise circulation. Do not put children in hand-me- downs. Skates that are too large or wide may lack proper ankle support leading to strains, sprains or even fractures. Runners in the winter may unconsciously change their foot strike pattern which can lead to overuse injuries. To increase traction on slippery surfaces, runners may land with the entire foot instead of the natural heel- to-toe strike. Lateral slippage may lead to groin pulls. Some runners are trying spikes that fi t over their shoes when jogging in icy areas. Some problems to watch out for are: 1) Frostbite: Skin freezes when exposed to cold temperatures and high winds. With longer exposure blood vessels constrict and skin colour changes from blue to white. A feeling of numbness or burning may indicate frostbite. Wet feet are more prone to frostbite as are people with previous history of frostbite. Prevention involves changing wet clothing and avoiding the use of alcoholic beverages. Shield yourself from high winds and keep moving. Tr eatment involves putting fi ngers in armpit touching warm skin. Remove clothing from the affected area and avoid rubbing the skin. Immerse the affected area in warm (40C) water (20 to 30 minutes) until the affected area turns red. If blisters develop, add an antiseptic such as Betadine to the skin. If no water is available, keep affected areas warm with blankets or in contact with other person’s skin. See your medical doctor as soon as possible. 2) Blisters: Friction from ill-fi tting foot gear can cause blisters. Do not pop a blister as it will then more easily infect. If it breaks on its own, use an antiseptic such as Betadine and cover with a sterile bandage. 3) Hypothermia: This affects the entire body and involves loss of body heat. Initially shivering will generate more body heat. If shivering stops, a person is not necessarily warmed, and this is sometimes a warning sign. Continued exposure to cold temperatures can lead to hypothermia. This is a medical emergency and professional care should be sought. 4) Strains and sprains: These are common especially with skiing and skating. They should be created with rest, ice, compressions and elevate (RICE). Winter can be a fun season if proper care is taken. Attention to muscle fl exibility, proper clothing and warm-up exercises will ensure a season of injury free fun.

Whitehead Ph.D., Oxford Learning Children can begin this process by learning that while life is full of joy and triumph, it may also contain failure. Because we love our children and don’t want them to be hurt, we often try to take away their failure. If we fi ght too many battles for our children, or shelter them from the stings of little defeats, they never learn that victory is won at a cost. Children must learn that engaging in the battle is fun. It is a cause for celebration because it means we are trying. Learning this requires a subtle paradigm shift. We have been sold a bill of goods about self-esteem and failure because someone told us that failure damages self-esteem. Nonsense. Failure allows healthy children to develop self-esteem. Knowing that a child can try, fail, and try again is the beginning. It helps to develop the confi dence that somehow he or she can cope. Next we must teach our children that if they learn certain basic sets of rules they will experience success. The next step to motivating is to help the child relate the task to something that is important in their own life. Our job as parents is to help children fi nd the answers to these questions by using examples from their day-to-day world. Initially, you can help this process along by creating small challenges and giving occasional rewards for trying. Offering stickers, praise, or even the occasional cheeseburger can be part of a child’s motivation. Occasional treats are not entirely bad. Children with passive minds will not develop healthy and robust self-esteem. Being active means making the attempt. Helping a child to develop an active mind is not only one of the greatest gifts a parent can give but also one of the greatest challenges we can face. Oxford Learning Centres have been helping students for 20 years build their skills, confi dence and motivation, and develop more active minds for learning. Call Oxford today in Ajax/Pickering at (905)420-3141 to learn how a personal learning program can help your child develop a more active mind and the skills and motivation for success in school.

Krebs is excited to announce that a lot of changes are underway at this familiar Whitby restaurant. First, they welcome the addition of the new kitchen staff, head chef Brian Cassibo, sous chef James Casey and pantry chef Michael Paul Haley. Brian comes to Krebs after spending two years at Algonquin College studying culinary arts, and after working in the Prime Minister’s residence, the External Affairs office and the New Zealand Embassy. A chef for over 16 years, Brian spent time working in Switzerland as a Chef de Partie, a sous chef and as the executive chef at a five star hotel. His style is very versatile and he enjoys preparing all kinds of foods. James came to Canada after spending 36 years as a chef in Scotland. While in Scotland, he worked for the Queen Mother and the Royal Family. He began his career by studying at Glasgow Food College, and spent seven years as an apprentice. He has a vast knowledge of European/Asian fusion and continues to learn everyday. “You never stop learning,” explains James. Michael has been a chef for 19 years, and was trained at Kirby College in Middlesborough, England. His passion is for desserts and presentation, as well as cold work and buffets. He has worked in many different restaurants, including a five star hotel, a seventeenth century country inn, and has spent time working in England and Australia. “I’m excited and thrilled to work with two experienced chefs,” says Michael. This great new team is excited about implementing changes to Kreb’s menu and service. “There is going to be a lot of good things happening here,” says Gary, the owner. A new menu is coming soon, as well as an express lunch for those in a hurry. The food will all be prepared fresh, not mass produced. Daily specials will be available for both lunch and dinner, as well as feature desserts. With these changes Krebs promises to maintain our casual dining experience offering great food, atmosphere & service at reasonable prices, says Gary. 918 Brock St. N.

By substan- tially increasing funding to colleges and universities for more staff and asking for accountability, the Province is addressing some of the other issues in education. Mr. Bentley added he can also see more predictability coming out of the framework being developed, to let stu- dents know up front how much their whole education will cost. He added for the first time, the On- tario Student Assistance Program has recognized $500 for laptop leases. More needs to be done, but it’s a start, said Mr. Bentley. The Province is also working on ac- cessibility improvements for lower- and middle-class families, which he says will be seen soon.

ESN captain Roger Young showed the way with a 13-point effort. Young was aided by rookie Claude Whitfield who added 11. Blue team captain Mike Gordensky led all scorers with 17 points, followed by Tom George with 16. In Game 2, Dickson Printing dominated North Alliance Press 54- 30. Dickson rookie Jim Nikolakakos showed great versatility scoring from inside and outside to lead all scor- ers with 21 points. Sherwin James was also solid for Dickson Printing, scoring 18. Team sponsor John Beyaz led North Alliance with eight points, while Don McEachern chipped in with seven. The Burgundy team put a victory on the shelf at the expense of Top Shelf, 52-40, in the evening’s finale. Clayton Gall proved once again that he is a force to be reckoned with, scoring 16 points for the Burgundy team. War horse Frank Forde showed there is still life in the old nag yet, adding nine. Top Shelf captain Luke Luukkonen led with 10 points while Doug Coles, Allan Gomes and Eric Spriel each added six. [ Hockey ] High school loop starts Monday DURHAM — The Durham high school hockey league returns to the ice on Monday. Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) convener Craig Nemis says Pickering High and Dun- barton should be the teams to beat in senior boys’ hockey this season. Defending champion St. Mary Monarchs and Ajax High should also be in the hunt in the league, which should feature a lot of parity again this year, says Nemis. AJAX — The Ajax Attack’s roller- coaster season just took a big dip in Newmarket on Thursday night. After breaking off a five-game los- ing skid with a 7-5 victory over the Vaughan Vipers last Sunday, the At- tack had hoped to build on that solid performance against the North Conference’s Newmarket Hurri- canes. But, as so often has happened during this OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League campaign for the rebuilding club, the Attack followed one good effort with a hor- rific one. And, this folks, was as bad as it gets: a 13-1 thrashing administered by the Hurricanes. The Attack played the North York Rangers at the Ajax Community Centre on Saturday afternoon, with the result unavailable at press time. The Attack is also at home today (Sunday) at 3 p.m. when they host Newmarket in a rematch of Thurs- day’s game. The Hurricanes scored three goals in rapid succession nearing the midway point of the first pe- riod on Ajax starter Carson Hau and the rout was on. Newmarket scored once more to end the frame up 4-0. But, it got worse for the Attack in the middle stanza. The Hurricanes scored four more times to take a commanding 8-0 lead before Ajax got on the scoreboard. Attack lead- ing scorer Michael Aiello netting the lone marker, assisted by Brandon Bartlett. The Hurricanes continued to pad their stats in the final frame, scoring five more times. Most of the damage by the Hur- ricanes was done, ironically, by for- mer Ajax junior player Chase Gal- lacher, who notched a hat trick and added two assists. All told, Hau was beaten for 10 goals on 43 shots. Nunzio Presta re- lieved a beleaguered Hau at the 6:49 mark of the third period, but didn’t fare much better. Presta was beaten for three goals on seven shots. Ajax was outshot 50-23.

Visit durhamregion.typepad.com/the_ohl/ Spartans rebound to beat Northern Last-minute goal lifts Dunbarton to Ajax Invitational title By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — A plucky Dunbarton Spartans senior boys’ team over- came a sluggish second period to capture the championship trophy at the Ajax Invitational High School Hockey Tournament. But, the early-season title came at a cost. The Spartans upended the North- ern Secondary School Red Knights in the final at the Ajax Community Centre Friday afternoon, recovering from a 2-1 second-period deficit to post a 3-2 victory in exciting fash- ion. With 35 seconds to go and the score knotted 2-2, Graeme Murphy scooped up a rebound from a Mike Broaderip point shot, depositing the puck high over Billy Gooder- ham. About 20 seconds prior to the game-winning goal, Murphy missed a golden opportunity as the third-year senior team player just missed putting the puck in the open side of the net. The game, however, degener- ated from that point on, ending with an injured Dunbarton player in the corner, and the referees try- ing to keep the peace. To keep the lid on the proceedings, there were no handshakes, nor presentations after the final. A clearly miffed Dunbarton coach Bill Dalliday was unimpressed with the waning moments of the final. “It’s so atypical of what high school hockey is about,” says Dal- liday, who added that one of his players, Cody Pollard, suffered a broken thumb after being slashed by a Northern player. “They’re a team from out of the area and they were also an out-of-control team. On the odd occasion that’s what happens.” Dunbarton’s tying goal came late in a four-minute power-play oppor- tunity with George Lucas scoring from a sharp angle after a rebound with 2:40 remaining in the third period. Mark Burnett and Brandon Crummy earned assists. Burnett scored the first Dunbar- ton goal in the opening period, as- sisted by Will Mitchell. The Spartans downed Cardinal Newman from Scarborough 4-2 in the semifinal. Northern advanced after a 5-1 victory over the host Ajax High School Rams.

The Spartans posted a come-from-behind 3-2 victory in the final of the second annual Ajax Invitational High School Hockey Tourmament at the Ajax Community Centre Friday afternoon. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, NOVEMBER 6, 2005 PAGE 15 A/P • KITCHENS • MURPHY BEDS • VANITIES 905.839.0574 www.aroundthehome.ca 1550 BAYLY ST., #35, PICKERING ARCHITECTURE Call Robert Kavanagh today for all your mortgage financing needs. 416-414-6815 Your community Royal Bank Mortgage Specialists MORTGAGE SPECIALISTS 2 Results Realty Inc., Realtor® Independently Owned & Operated 1692 Central St., Claremont, Ontario Bus: 905-426-7515 Fax: 905-649-6405 Email: lisalevy@sympatico.ca Pager: 905-649-3300 www.lisalevy.netLISA LEVY Sales Representative REAL ESTATE 3 Eavestroughing In Business Since 1970 5”, 6” Seamless Eavestrough Supply • Run off Installation FREE ESTIMATES Eavestroughing, Siding, Soffi t, Fascia 905-426-5001 www.unictrough.ca 759 Kingston Rd.

Starring S e á n C u ll e n (The Producers) , A l a n F r e w (Glass Tiger) and R o s s P et t y Featuring Canadian Idol stars E l e n a J uat c o , G ar y B e a l s , B i l l y Kl i pp e r t and R y a n M a l c o l m Only in the fractured world of Panto could Snow White be a Canadian Idol hopeful, the Man In The Mirror an ex-Juice Pig , and the head of the Group of Seven the front man for ‘80s pop group Glass Tiger . Now celebrating its 10th anniversary, the annual Ross Petty family musical returns to the Elgin Thea tre with S N O W W H I T E A N D T H E G R O U P O F S E V E N . In this version, Snow White escapes her evil stepmother and flees to the Forest where she discovers the cottage of the famed Group of Seven. Not the Canadian painters - the down-on-its-luck boy band. But will she live happily ever after as their new tour manager or be taken down by a poisoned pie?

The two- time Gemini Award winner first gained notice as the lead singer of the Canadian comedy/musical group, Corky and the Juice Pigs . The group toured comedy festivals around the world and became featured performers on Fox Television’s Mad TV . In 2004, Seán played Max Bialystock in the Canadian production of The Producers and this summer, launched Simply Sean , his own one-hour show on CBC Radio One. A l a n F r e w , the voice of ‘80s super group Glass Tiger , makes his theatrical debut as leader of the Group of Seven. A 20-year veteran of the Canadian music industry, Alan is a five-time Juno award winner and a Grammy nominee who, as part of Glass Tiger , has sold over 3,000,000 albums worldwide. Also making their debut with Ross Petty Productions are four former Canadian Idol performers - E l e n a J u a t c o as Snow White; G a r y B e a l s , B i l l y K l i p p e r t and the first ever Canadian Idol himself, R y a n M a l c o l m as members of the Group of Seven. R o s s P e t t y returns again as the villain everyone loves to hate (and boo and jeer and catcall) as Queen Celine Poutine, Snow White’s evil stepmother. Betting that lightning will strike twice, the creative team responsible for last year’s hit holiday musical ALADDIN has reunited for S N O W W H I T E A N D T H E G R O U P O F S E V E N . Te d D y k s t r a (2 Pianos, 4 Hands, Fool For Love) will direct the D a v i d F i n l e y (the film My Last Confession ) script with music direction by B o b F o s t e r ( Hairspray ) and choreography by Tr a c e y F l y e ( Go Go Beach, Cabaret ).
