Not only did they find Peter Shatalow’s documentary on the 34-year-old fight great, but for the members of Land Over Landings (LOL) and Voters Or- ganized to Cancel the Airport Lands (VOCAL) it was also inspiring to see their heroes from the first fight both on the big screen and in person. Several members of People or Planes (POP), many now in their 80s, attended the screen- ing. “It’s people like you that give me faith that we’re going to be able to stop this,” LOL member Sharon Powell said to Dr. Charles Godfrey, who served as POP’s chairman, as the two left the theatre at J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate in Ajax. The documentary follows the fight through photos, in- terviews and old video from the beginning in 1972 to when Mr. Shatalow began filming the issue in 1998, after the federal government decided to designate the area as an airport site. LOL member Mary Delaney said the group was the next generation of fighters, the suc- cessor to POP. She was hum- bled to be in the presence of so many of its members. “I’m absolutely inspired and thrilled to meet in person people who I’ve respected for so long,” she said to the nearly 500 people in attendance.

J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate in Ajax hosted the pre- miere of ‘Last Stand,’ a documentary film by Peter Shatalow, about the fight to stop the Pickering airport. Old and new airport fighters unite By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer DURHAM — The clock is ticking towards a possible strike by faculty members at Durham College. Negotiations between the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) and The College Compen- sation and Appointments Council (CCAC), the provincial agency ne- gotiating for the Ministry of Train- ing, Colleges and Universities, are ongoing in Toronto, in an attempt to reach a deal by 12:01 a.m. March 7. About 9,100 OPSEU members at 24 Ontario colleges gave their union a strike mandate Feb. 7. The last contract expired Aug. 31, 2005. Talks will continue throughout the weekend. “Their issues are workload and salary,” says Joy Warkentin, chair- woman of the negotiating team for the CCAC. “We think we have a very good offer on the table.” The offer includes a pay increase of 12.6 per cent over four years, increasing the pay for top-paid in- structors to $94,300, while a program co-ordinator would receive $99,300, Ms. Warkentin stated. The offer is “in line with what oth- ers are getting in the public sector, and there’s no increase in workload,” she added. When asked if she was confident a deal could be reached, Ms. Warkentin stated, “It’s not ap- propriate for me to comment. We’re working very hard to get this set- tled.” If a deal isn’t reached and OPSEU members strike, there will be no col- lege classes. Classes for students at- tending either the University of On- tario Institute of Technology or Trent University at the Oshawa campus of Durham College will carry on as scheduled. “There will be no classes on March 7 if no deal is done,” stated David Cox, spokesman for OPSEU. While higher pay is an issue for the union, it’s not the main one, Mr. Cox stated. “We’ve said in the past that sal- ary isn’t an issue. It’s probably not a breaking point on this. The breaking point is workload,” he said. “There’s Talks continue to avoid possible college strike TITLE HUNT Pickering High has Ontario title in sights Page 15 FOREVER YOUNG Fun, fellowship rule at this club Page 8 ✦ See Students, Page 5 ✦ See The, Page 4 MARCHBRAEKMARCHBRAEKMarch 13-17Looking For a LEARN TO SKATE PROGRAM?

Durham and York regions are hosting public information sessions March 7 to 9 to discuss possible solu- tions to garbage disposal. The drop-in style information ses- sions will discuss opportunities to achieve additional diversion, recy- cling and composting, types of al- ternative residual waste manage- ment technologies and the proposed methodology and criteria to evaluate these alternative residual waste man- agement systems. According to David Merriman, a consultant with MacViro who is conducting an environmental as- sessment, the public meetings are required to complete the EA pro- cess. The meetings are intended to educate the public as well as receive input. “Whenever anybody thinks about garbage the top priority is recycling,” Mr. Merriman said. “But even when you have recycled as much as you can you still have some garbage left.” They hope to establish in the minds of the public the alternatives for dis- posal of residual waste, which a joint committee is considering. “Then we will ask the public if they have any ideas they think we should be looking at,” Mr. Merriman said. “A nd we want some public input on how we will be going about choosing an alternative.” The Region encourages Durham residents to take part in these pub- lic information sessions. Background documentation is available from the study website, at municipal offices or at library branches. For more information on the loca- tions of public information sessions, call the Durham Region works de- partment at 1-800-372-1102 ext. 3731 or visit the website www.durhamyor- kwaste.ca.

We were talking over the bat- tlefield and we won.” POP won the first battle, w inning the shelving of the airport in 1975 following the election of Premier Bill Davis in Ontario with a minority government. Seeing the opposition to the plan, the Province pulled its support for infrastructure, forcing the federal govern- ment to put the idea on hold. Leading up to that victory, three women of POP occupied an old farmhouse for 10 days. Anne Howes was one of them. She thought Mr. Shatalow did an excellent job of explaining such a complex issue. She lives in Orangeville now, but keeps in touch with the friends she made all those years ago. “The friendships you made were elemental; they were shaping friendships. You know them so deeply,” she said. Thinking back, she never thought people would be fighting the same issue today. “When we started this, if anybody had told us 30 odd years later there would be young people carrying it on, we would have fainted,” she said. VOCAL president Stephen Frederick has been carrying it on since 1998. He was inspired by the pas- sion the people of POP had and that people still have today. “There are enough people here to carry this forward and finally put this to bed,” he said.

According to the Immunization of School Pupils Act, some students are exempt. Parents may choose, because of religious, philosophical, conscious or medical reasons, not to have their child immunized. In such a case the parents are required to complete a statement of religious or conscious belief affidavit or file a physician-completed statement of medical exemption.

We do want to keep up with our comparator groups.” The union represents full and ‘partial- load’ instructors at 24 colleges. Part-time instructors aren’t allowed to be in the union, he said. Debbie Rautins, vice-president of OPSEU Local 354 at Durham College, said members are “ready” if a strike is called. “My students are prepared. As I go around the halls, I don’t hear any nega- tivity. They’re sympathetic,” said the nursing instructor. College president Gary Polonsky said, “Never in the history of Ontario has a group of students lost its year because of a strike, from K to 12 (kindergarten to Grade 12), college or university. “There’s a rhythm to negotiating and that people will rise at one minute to midnight and shake hands. “Most are assuming and hoping that will be the case. As am I,” Mr. Polonsky stated. ‘Students have never lost year’ ✦ Students from page 1 durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, March 5, 2006 EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Organ bill offers choice, saves lives I t isn’t often we can offer overwhelming, unconditional support to any bill proposed at the provincial or federal level. But a current private member’s bill, introduced at the legislature recently by Conservative MPP Frank Klees, is hard to find fault with. The bill would require all Ontarians 16 or older who renew their health card or driver’s licence to indicate yes, no or undecided with respect to their organ- donation wishes. If passed the bill would likely drastically increase the number of eligible organ donators across the province and provide possible relief to thousands who are waiting for life- providing organs. The bill clearly provides a choice to all Ontarians, which is a key element of the legislation. Nobody will be forced against his or her will to donate organs. Some people, whether it be for religious or personal reasons, will be opposed to donating their organs and there should be no presumption of donation without clear consent. The bill addresses the problem of the thousands of people in this province who wait agonizingly in vain by the telephone, praying for a life-saving organ. With far more people in the future on the list of donators, many lives may be saved that would otherwise be lost. Another bill, introduced by NDP MPP Peter Kormos would presume consent unless it had been clearly indicated the person did not want to donate. There is a distinction between the bills and that is that Mr. Klees’s bill offers personal choice and options. Under Mr. Kormos’s bill ev- erybody is a presumed donor except for those individuals who have taken the trouble to clearly indicate they will not donate. There could be legal and civil challenges to Mr. Kormos’s bill, whereas under Mr. Klees’s plan, the list of options leaves individuals with the final say. Ultimately, the goal by both MPPs is to drastically in- crease the pool of organ donors. And, by introducing the bills, the members have people talking about organ dona- tion, which raises the possibility of more donors coming forward even before the legislation is ultimately passed or defeated. And there really is no reason to defeat Mr. Klees’s bill. It’s truly a win-win situation for everybody involved. Toy g un ban ridiculous To the editor: Re: ‘Replica gun bylaw endorsed by mayors, chairmen,’ Feb. 24. Replica guns are already considered ‘prohibited’ under federal law. Existing owners could keep them but they must be treated with the same regard as a real firearm. This proposed law will have swat teams taking down eight- year-olds playing cowboys and Indians. This will lead to hatred and distrust of police by kids at a very early age. Think of it, no more playing with water guns, no more cap guns. Will this make our city and our children safer? Not a chance; this is a feel-good, knee-jerk law. We already have many laws that cover replica guns. Really, has the region stooped so low as to fine children in an effort to fill the coffers? What next is to be banned? Soon everything will be banned in an effort to make us safer.

Then maybe we could simply eliminate guns G uns get me fired up and not in a good way. Maybe it was the countless view- ings of John Denver’s video, ‘Let Us Begin (What are we Making Weapons For),’ which my mother insisted her children view after even the mere men- tion of guns. There were no toy guns in the Hatfield home. No water pistols, no GI Joe action figures, no pointing of fingers and say- ing, ‘bang-bang.’ My mother insisted on instilling in her children the belief that guns are not toys, they are not fun, not meant for play. They are antiquated killing machines. So whenever one of us made light of guns, the video went on as a re- minder that, “this is not living, to live at the point of a gun,” as John sings in the song. With clips from the Korean War, the Cold War, the Vietnam War, missiles, tanks and death, the scene makes an impression on a child, one that has been carried into adulthood. There has been much talk of guns dur- ing the past weeks, months even, here in Durham, what with Mayor Marilyn Pearce and the Township of Scugog’s in- novative replica gun bylaw that seeks to take toy guns out of public places. The bylaw has been well-received across the GTA. Mommy would be pleased. As well, there was some discussion at Durham council of a ban on handguns. There are always defenders and dis- senters. Even in our office, there have been many debates over the merits of guns. It all makes me want to force the whole world to watch the John Denver video over and over again, let the lyrics seep in. Cue the cringe of hunters. Without our glorified guns there would be no hunting. And oh how hunters love their hunting. Most are likely responsible sports- men, but there remains the odd person who uses his rifle to shoot his wife in an argument, or buddies who after a few beers somehow accidentally shoot each other. Then there are the kids who are slightly more clever than they’re given credit for and they get their hands on daddy’s gun. Misemployed, they are a catalyst to death. We must consider, is a single life lost worth a freezer full of meat, brag- ging rights, or a dead-eyed trophy above the mantle? You can lock your gun away but can you be sure your neighbour does the same? But we persist, for it is our right -- we’re the only one of God’s creatures who kill, not out of need, but for the sheer love of killing. Erin Hatfield’s column ap- pears every third Sunday.

Let Us Begin with John Denver Erin Hatfield staff writer EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com Sing Tao Canada Foundation would like to announce the establishment of a scholarship for a Mandarin speaking student in the University of Toronto Faculty of Social Work graduate program commencing September, 2006. U of T has undertaken a number of research projects in recent years to focus on the Chinese Canadian population in an effort to identify barriers they face in a variety of areas including health, immigration and settlement. These research projects have been integral in the development of services to address these challenges in order to meet the needs of this population. According to these studies, one of the ways in which the Chinese Canadian population can be better served would be to attract more workers fl uent in Mandarin into the fi eld of social work in Canada. There is a real concern that many of the Mandarin speaking immigrants face employment challenges, which, in turn, permeate their lives. As well, many of these immigrants and their family members face health, mental health, fi nancial and social issues that need to be addressed. The research project conducted by U of T has indicated that there are service gaps and new comprehensive programming will be needed for this population. Sing Tao Canada Foundation has recognized the need to challenge more Mandarin speaking students to enroll in the graduate level social work program by offering fi nancial assistance to these students. The Sing Tao Canada Foundation will pledge to donate $50,000 into an endowment fund, which will be double matched by the University of Toronto and the Government of Ontario through its graduate student funding. In effect, the donation will provide a $6000 scholarship annually, in perpetuity. The scholarship will be awarded to a Chinese student who is fl uent in Mandarin, on the basis of fi nancial need and Canadian residency, registered in the Masters of Social Work program at the University of Toronto. Sing Tao Canada Foundation was founded in 1995 to maintain a fund to promote charitable purposes, in particular the relief of poverty, distress and sickness, and the advancement of education. The Foundation will, as one of its missions, promote and foster the well being of the Chinese community in Canada. The Foundation plans to support innovative programs that focus on the needs of the newly immigrated, specifi cally in the areas of employment and life standards and improvement of the future of children and youth through the support of related programs. It is the hope of the Sing Tao Canada Foundation that the establishment of this endowment fund in the University of Toronto, Faculty of Social Work will bring in more Mandarin speaking students into the fi eld of social work. Having increased representation of Chinese social workers in our community will help promote more discussion and implementation of programs targeting the psycho-social needs in the Chinese population and result in the immigrant population being better served in Canada.

Mr. Tsumura joined other woodcarvers who gather to carve each Wednesday afternoon at the East Shore Community Centre in Pickering. By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer AJAX — The chatter grows louder as the seats fill up in the St. Andrew’s Com- munity Centre in Ajax. Some struggle to their seats with canes and most have grey or white hair, but there is an air of youthful banter. This is what the Ajax Seniors’ Friendship Club is all about, according to president Keith Miller. “It is just to get people out,” he said. “They like to have a chat, get together.” Each week, 40 to 50 seniors gather for talks and presentations about everything under the sun, from local wineries to the War of 1812, the subjects cover a lot of ground. The Club has been meeting for the past 10 or 15 years according to Mr. Miller, who is 83 years old. For many, it is a much-anticipated part of their week. The Feb. 28 discussion was about chiropractic care. Dr. Michael Coulas spoke about osteoporosis, what he calls the silent killer, and how to keep bones healthy. “I speak to a lot of groups,” Dr. Coulas said. “This is a friendship group and they are my favourite kind because we all need more friends. It is crucial we mingle with other people.” From the front row a comical Roger Chittenden, a young 96, answered each of the doctor’s questions. “My doctor says, ‘whatever you are doing keep doing it.’” he said. What he is doing, Mr. Chittenden said, is getting out and spending time with friends. “I like coming here because I live alone,” he said. “I need the stimulation of meeting people.” The club is a big part of what keeps Mr. Chittenden ticking, he said. “It is wonderful; this is one of my must sees, this club,” Mr. Chittenden said. “The thing about being old that is the most difficult is loneliness. The group helps enormously and I take the trouble to get here.” The Ajax Seniors’ Friendship Club’s Tuesday morning discussion group meets at 9:30 a.m. and all are welcome. Friendship club a place to meet, share a laugh Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Ajax Seniors’ Friendship Club Tuesday Morning Discussion Group members, from left, John Hillman, Roger Chittenden and Bill Pilling, chuckle during a discussion by visiting chiropractor Dr. Michael Coulas at the St. Andrew’s Community Centre. Not all vintages, even in the red variety, are alike “Oh my aching head! Why did I drink so much last night?” That’s a question many people ask throughout the year. Some headaches will re- sult from too many marti- nis, beers or scotch-and- sodas. That’s a hang-over. But you’ve magnified the odds of a blistering headache if you recklessly imbibed in too much red wine. What is it about red w ine that carries such a blow to the head? Recently I spent an eve- ning with friends, includ- ing dinner and wine. “Should I order red or white wine?” I asked. One of the females re- plied, “Red wine gives me a headache.” This made the choice easy, a Chardonnay. Few dispute that the red wine headache (RWH) is a reality. But the causes of it are as varied as the cure for hiccups. Some point a finger at the sulfites that occur nat- urally during fermenta- tion. In fact, wine makers often add more as a pre- servative. But the theory that sulfites are to blame has been debunked in re- cent times. Studies show that one percent of the population is allergic to sulfites. This means they lack the diges- tive enzyme that handles the processing of sulfites present in many foods. But did my friend have a sulfite allergy? It’s highly unlikely, as she was able to drink two glasses of Chardon- nay without any reaction. And white wines often contain more sulfites than red wine. Moreover, she ate meat and cheese that evening and both contain sulfites. Dr. Fred Freitag, of the Diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago says, “Sulfites can cause an allergic reac- tion, but they give head- aches only to asthmatics. “The more common reaction to sulfites is a breathing problem.” ‘The Harvard Medical Letter’ points its finger at tannins as a possible cause. Tannins, present in grape skins, give red wine its distinctive pleasant and slightly bitter flavour. Stud- ies show that tannins trig- ger blood platelets to re- lease serotonin. Increased amounts of serotonin can cause headaches. But this cause can also be shot down in flames. Foods such as soy, tea and chocolate also contain tan- nins and I’ve never heard of a chocolate headache. Then there’s the hista- mine theory. White wine is made from the grape’s juice while red w ine uses the entire grape. Grape skin contains hista- mine and red wine has up to 200 times more hista- mine than white wine. But alas, the French who know their wines cast doubt on this theory. French researchers re- port in the ‘Journal of Al- lergy and Clinical Immu- nology’ that people exhib- ited no difference in reac- tion to wines with either a high or low histamine content. So what should my friend do so she can enjoy red wine with others? Dr. Freitag, also a suffer- er of red wine headache, offers a solution. He reports he can drink some reds and not others. For instance, he’s able to imbibe almost every California wine, but only certain wines from France. But he adds, some of his patients can only drink French reds! So if you suf- fer from RWH so much for that theory. ‘The Harvard Health Letter’ suggests that if tan- nins are the culprit, you should try a wine with a lower tannin content such as Beaujolais instead of Cabernet Sauvignon. Other experts speculate that many people today are drinking young Cali- fornia red wines, having heard of the health ben- efits of this nectar. Yo ung wines tend to have more of the sub- stances that cause head- aches but some of these become inert with age. The answer, they say then, is to drink older wines to reduce the risk of exposure to RWH. As I write this column I feel a throbbing headache coming on without even smelling a glass of wine. I’m frustrated that after hours of research I still can’t find a definite cause of red wine headache. But one expert did offer a practical solution. “Try half a glass of red and wait 15 minutes.” he said. “If the head remains free of pain the wine passes the test.” To o bad I don’t suffer from RWH. What better way to spend an evening of research, experimenting with one w ine after another? To ronto physician Dr. Gif- ford-Jones has offered medi- cal advice and opinions for decades in his syndicated column. 5050++50+ SHOWSHOW 3rd Annual 2 days of fun!

For those residents who prefer to venture off the property, a complimentary shuttle bus is available for trips to nearby destinations. “These amenities, when coupled with our customized lifestyle packages, help nurture the soul, celebrate independence and promote individuality,” adds Radun. Regency Gardens will also focus on including family members, friends and the surrounding community into its residents' daily lives – in much the same manner that all other Retirement Life Communities properties do so successfully.

Here are a few ways you can help your child look forward to the end of the year. Take stock of progress so far Your child’s report car is a reflection of past performance, indicating your child’s strengths and weaknesses. It is an opportunity to celebrate the strengths and determine what additional steps can be taken to strengthen the weaknesses. Assess study habits and home environment Many parents start the school year with strict schedules for homework. By March, extracurricular and family activities make these schedules difficult to follow. This is a good time for children and their parents to take a good look at how, where and when homework is being done. Is enough time being spent on homework or is it squeezed in between other activities? Is it a priority or an afterthought? Parents need to consider their role in homework completion. Are you helping to maintain a quiet environment? Have you made sure your child has an adequate workspace and the tools to work with? Does your child have the necessary study skills to be successful? Report Cards = Opportunities Help your child set goals Like adults, children feel successful when they achieve their goals. Sit with your child and read the report card together. Celebrate success with your child. Listen to your child’s comments about the weaker areas. Ask about what he or she would like to see on the next report card. Then, help your child to set some clear, achievable, short-term goals. Make sure the goals are specific. For example, getting an A in English or math is too vague, too far away and possibly not reasonable. Encourage your child to work in small steps. Improving paragraph writing for the next assignment or mastering three more multiplication tables are examples of short-term goals. Once the goals are determined, the next step is making a plan to achieve them. An important part of this step is talking to the teacher. Schedule a meeting with you, your child and the teacher. Ask for specific details. For example, “What skills does my child need to develop in order to write better paragraphs? Are there any academic skill gaps that need to be addressed? Can you suggest a strategy we can work on together to improve success?” Make sure your child is part of this conversation. Remember the power of praise Parents should be their child’s greatest cheerleader. Make sure your child knows that you believe in him or her. Acknowledge all of the special skills and qualities that make your child unique. Find ways to honestly praise your child for things both great and small. Small steps are the beginning of big gains. “I really likes your positive attitude when you edited your story.” “Thank you for helping clear the table.” “Your handwriting is really improving!” “I like the way you created a schedule to share the computer with your brother.” A good report card doesn’t happen in isolation. It’s a team effort involving parents, children and teachers. Working as a team allows your child to strive for the best he or she can do without undue pressure or fear of failing. Oxford Learning has been helping families interpret report cards and showing kids how to set goals and achieve them for 20 years.

TMA is a laboratory-generated report derived from a lock of hair. The report reveals a very concise breakdown of a person’s elemental chemistry, which includes Nutritional Elements, Toxic Elements and also the Significant Ratios. Nutritional Elements serve as co-factors and co-enzymes making reactions complete, and when imbalances occur homeostasis is susceptible. When imbalances in these areas are exposed, specific recommendations are made providing a solution to correct troublesome symptoms at the root cause.

Hydrotherapy treatments relax the body, improve strength, build up the immune system, equalize circulation and increases metabolism and improves digestion. Water has many thermal benefits, which act upon the human body to cause a reflex response of flow, movement and circulation. In a healing thermal bath, heat generates a calculated effect that may be skillfully manipulated to stimulate physical response. The body’s response to these applications produces certain physiological changes depending on temperature difference, length of application and total body surface involved.

Tr ojans — the second coming Pickering High boys earn a top seed at provincial showcase By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — The Pickering High School Trojans senior boys’ bas- ketball team definitely earned a measure of respect coming into the provincial championships, which begin Monday in Kitchener-Water- loo. The Durham Region champion Trojans (45-6 overall, 14-0 league) were bestowed the second seed in the 16-team Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) ‘AAAA’ championships March 6 to 8. And, for one, longtime coach Ron Parfitt was unfazed by his team’s lofty seeding. “Does it surprise me? No. Every- body else that’s there at the tour- nament seeded in the top seven or eight we’ve beaten -- except for the number-one seed (Henry Carr Crusaders, the Toronto Catholic champs),” says Parfitt. Parfitt poured over the list of the top teams at the 2006 OFSAA show- case, noting the Trojans split games with Mother Teresa (No. 3 seed, To ronto Catholic runners-up) and have beaten (No. 5, Toronto) West Hill, (No. 6) Kitchener-Waterloo and (No. 7) St. Mary’s from Hamilton at various tournaments this season. The Trojans kick off their OFSAA title pursuit against 12th-seeded London Oakridge Oaks on Monday at 4 p.m. at Kitchener’s RIM Park. If Pickering wins, they’ll play the loser of the game between the West Hill Warriors and 15th-seed Grand River Renegades in the second round on Tuesday afternoon. Parfitt admits the No. 2 seeding may be a double-edged sword for the Trojans, who’ve never been seeded that high in the school’s history at OFSAA basketball. He’s aware the Trojans will be a target for an upset-seeking lower seed. The high seeding “might be (a source of) intimidation, but we don’t have a big enough name to have that work for us,” says Parfitt. “If you’re playing a low seed and lose then you probably shouldn’t have been seeded that high. But, that’s not to say there are not upsets. There are always upsets, but it bet- ter not be us.” The Trojans emerged unscathed from Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) play this year, compiling a perfect 15-0 re- cord in league and playoff action, including a 66-36 thumping of the Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas of Pickering in the champi- onship game on Tuesday. The test for the Trojans, explains Parfitt, has come through high-level tournaments played against many of the best squads in the province. And, Pickering High has more than held its own. In fact, the Trojans won championships at the Centen- nial Colts Classic (defeated Laurier 75-49 in final), the Monarchs Clas- sic at St. Mary Catholic Second- ary School in Pickering (defeated Va ughan Road Academy 74-66 in final), the Pinky Lewis Tournament in Hamilton (defeated Loyola 71-73 in final), as well as finalists at the Court Heinbuch Classic in Waterloo (lost 55-38 to Emery). They were semifinalists at several other tour- naments. “The idea was to play in tour- naments. At OFSAA you have to play that style of basketball, so that’s what we’ve tried to do this year,” says Parfitt, who’s assisted on the bench by one-time national player and Pickering High alumnus Kirk Salesman, Marc Picard and David Joseph. The Trojans will go into OFSAA with an experienced roster that’s been to the OFSAA tournament be- fore, so they’ll have a better under- standing of what it takes to compete, and win, at the elite tournament. “The first seven guys have all been to OFSAA. They know what’s expected. We lost a tight one in overtime last year, so mentally they’ll be ready to play.” Parfitt says the Trojans will live or die with its defensive play. Lead- ing the way is starting point guard Stephen Lopez, who’s an all-GTA all-star this season. “He’s got to do a good job and not get into foul trouble,” says Parfitt. The Trojans also rely on the de- fensive prowess of forwards Lyndon Rainford and Damion Davis and guard Devoe Joseph. “Those four (including Lopez) have to do an excellent job on de- fence, putting pressure on the ball. We’re small, so (Joseph and Lopez) have to help to prevent our big guys from being overmatched on de- fence,” he says. On offence, provincial team play- er Joseph and Marcus Wong will be counted on to shoot the ball well, while the team will also look to the inside presence of Tim Cozier and Sephton Spence to rebound at both ends of the court. The team’s stifling defensive play leads to points in transition on the fast break -- something his Trojans have been able to exploit to a high degree this season, says Parfitt, not- ing, “everything we do is based on defence.” If there’s one area of concern, says Parfitt, it’s his team’s vulner- ability to emotional meltdowns. He adds, however, that as the season has progressed, it’s become less and less of a worry. “Mentally and emotionally, if we stay focused and don’t lose our cool, we can beat anyone there. “We’ve talked and spend an inor- dinate amount of time focusing on this. Hopefully they know they can pull it together. We’ve had very few problems that way,” he says, adding that the team’s collective maturity has vastly improved since the start of the season.

The rugby players at the Pickering school -- for the first time in the 25-year history of the UK tours -- are being joined by the varsity girls’ field hockey team for the 15-day, four-stop tour of England and Wales, with the 61-member contingent de- parting from Toronto on Mon- day, March 6. “It’s normally just been rugby, but Broxbourne (school in Eng- land) came over with their girls’ field hockey team last year, so we thought we’ll try the same thing this year,” says Spartans’ rugby coach Terry Fallis, who’ll be on his sixth UK tour with Dunbar- ton. There’s something familiar and something new on the tour schedule this year, says Fallis. The Dunbarton contingent will meet up again with old friends at Broxbourne -- where the rugby exchanges between the two schools originated 25 years ago. They’ll also travel to Brecon school in Wales, which has also been a staple on the Dunbarton rugby tour for many years. New, however, is a visit to St. George’s school in Harpenden, which is situated north of Lon- don. There, the Spartans will un- dergo a training session with the team as well as games against St. George’s. The highlight of the St. George’s leg of the tour is a training session with the Saracens Rugby Club on the morning of March 9. Play- ing in the premiership of English Rugby, the Saracens will provide several coaches and players to the training session. Also new on the itinerary are visits to Ashton School and Dixie Grammar School in Birmingham, England. There, the rugby teams will train and play against Ashton, while the Spartans 16-member field hockey squad will travel to Dixie for training sessions and games. While rugby and field hockey are the focus, there is plenty of sightseeing planned, says Fal- lis. The Canadian entourage will tour Cardiff, Wales, and Birming- ham and, of course, London, with stops at many of the histori- cal sites, including Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square. In preparation for the tour, Fallis says the rugby and field hockey squads have been train- ing indoors over the past several months. While he recognizes it will be a rough transition for the players, he’s confident they’ll rise to the challenge. “It will be tough for our guys as we haven’t been on a field. To start out is tough, but once they get going, they’ll be OK,” he says. The tour is a “good pre-sea- son buildup” for the upcoming spring high school rugby season, he adds. The Dunbarton teams arrive back in Toronto March 20. Dunbarton ready for UK rugby, field hockey trip A.J.

U n i t 1 , A j a x (off Bayl y St.,) The greatest challenge for all compa- nies today is to constantly change to meet the changing needs of their customers. RENOCanada (a new concept in home improvement) has evolved from one of Scarborough’s best known plumbing businesses. The Plumbing Mart at 1534 Mid- land Avenue is updating and changing its identity to better represent its expertise and focus on quality home improvements. Specializing in Bathroom and Kitchen Makeovers, RENOCanada is a single source for homeowners who want to improve the quality of their life at home... without moving. The company has shifted the focus from the retailing of plumbing hardware and fi xtures to that of a specialist in design, renovations,installations–atotal- solution from concept to completion. Their unique range of services and experience makes renovation easy, practical and afford- able. The new Inspiration Center, currently being developed at the original location, will provide an exciting and educational environ- ment that helps homeowners to visualize and plan their dreams. What has not changed is the compa- ny’s commitment to great service and in- dustry setting standards like their fi ve year war ranty backed by the most experienced renovation consultants and craftsmen in the business. RENOCanada promises consum- ers a positive experience by aligning itself with nationally acclaimed home renovation expert Sam Beninato, who has over a thou- sand projects to his personal credit. “Superior service standards will be strictly enforced” says Sam, who sums up the collective wisdom of their strategy like this: “when remodeling, remember that re- gardless of the styles you choose or the cost of the materials, there’s no substitute for a good quality craftsmanship”. For thousands of local area homeown- ers, it has always been the people and per- sonal attention that set this company apart from other renovators. RENOCanada’s staff understand renovation from the customer’s perspective. They know that home improve- ment is not about the house, it’s about self improvement (Lifestyle), it’s personal. The company describes their primary customers as “discerning” homeowners. These are people that don’t necessarily have big budgets but who feel that Bath- rooms and Kitchens need to be exciting regard- less of budget. They have higher expec- tations, says Sam; demanding seamless service from inspiration to installation and an overall experience that is hassle free, educational and rewarding. “Discerning customers don’t want to be sold anything but want someone to act as an ‘editor’ helping them to make choices that are right for them,” says Sam. “They need to feel ‘in control’ and want a service provider that will empower them to get satisfaction.” The showroom is only 15 minutes from anywhere in Ajax and Pickering. It’s a short drive west on Hwy 401, south on Mc- Cowan Rd. to Lawrence, go west two major intersections to Midland and then just one block north on the west side. If you would like to understand how easy, practical and affordable it is to turn the house you have into the lifestyle you want, Call (416) 285-6798, 1-888-228-4736 or visit our website at renocanada.com today to arrange a Free In-Home Consultation.

With 28 swimmers in at- tendance, the PSC finished 13th overall in the team point standings out of 91 swim teams. Individually, Danielle Gomba, 13, led the team with a standout perfor- mance. She swam to gold in the girls’ 15-and-over 50- metre butterfly in a time of 28.56 and silver in the 100m fly in 1:02.36. Both times represented senior nation- al-level times. Jessica Ward, 17, earned gold in the women’s 16-and- over 200m breaststroke in 2:30.31, fourth in the 100m breast in 1:12.11 and fifth in the 200m individual med- ley in 2:19.51. All clockings were senior national times. Kaleigh Heard posted two senior national times while finishing fourth in the girls’ 15-and-under 200m free- style (2:07.34) and fifth in the 100m free (57.85). Other results were as fol- lows: • Rebecca Acheson, 15, seventh, girls’ 15-and-under 100m fly (1:05.39); • Allison Foster, 13, ninth, girls’ 15-and-under 1,500m free (18:00.33); • Adam Gomba, 15, eighth, men’s 16-and-under 200m free (1:56.82); and • Alysha Lynden, 13, 25th, girls’ 15-and-over 50m breast (35.93). NOTES: Seven PSC ath- letes swam 28 best times, broke 22 club records and took 143.63 seconds off their best times. Allison Foster eliminated the most time in her swims, shedding 92.9 seconds.
