The Region recently received reports of a private company going door-to-door selling water treatment devices. The sales people are said to conduct an in-house water test and resi- dents have complained they use aggressive sales tactics by say- ing the Region’s water supply is unsafe to drink. The Region was alerted to the issue when it received a number Pickering water is safe to drink By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer PICKERING — Chairman Roger Anderson is adamant that Durham Region not take on provincial roads that are not up to standard. The Region has been approached to assume responsibility for Hwy. 7 from the York-Durham Line to Brock Road in Pickering, and Church Street and adjacent lands in the Town of Ajax near the former Hwy. 401 interchange. The road, Mr. Anderson said at the Region’s March 15 works com- mittee meeting, is a provincial prob- lem and he doesn’t want to see the Province download it onto the Re- gion. The ministry of transportation approached the Region to take over Hwy. 7 with provincial money for improvements on the bridge and pavement rehabilitation along the route. “There is absolutely no way the Region of Durham should assume Hwy. 7 until it is widened with curbs,” Mr. Anderson said. “Unless the Province comes to the table with enough cash to reconstruct it to four lanes and five years of main- tenance.” Region staff presented a report recommending the Region assume responsibility for the highway, sub- ject to adequate funding to address upgrading. As for the Church Street area, staff recommended to council that the Region assume the lands if the Province provides funding to rehabilitate Mill Street, the former highway ramp. However a motion passed to go against the recommendation and have staff go back to the ministry to try to negotiate a deal. Council- lors want the Province to pay for the widening of Hwy. 7 as well as the bridge structure on the section of road. The section in question is a two-lane road 6.9 kilometres in length. Region staff found the bridge structure to be in poor condition. Also, there is approximately 800 me- tres of existing guardrail which does not meet current standards. “If we insist on five years of main- tenance or widening it is not going to CAREFULLY Jason Liebregts / News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Elijah Edwards concentrates as he removes a block while playing a game of Jenga with his mom, Camille Robinson, during a March break ‘bored games’ program Tuesday at the Pickering library.

Mr. Curtis explained his fear was the Region would not take the offer and the Province would download the road at a later date without any monetary assis- tance for improvement. Mr. Anderson insisted, “Someone has to stop the provincial downloading. “If they are going to give us stuff it has to be up to standard,” he said. “I know for a fact Pickering council is going to go nuts over this,” Mr. Anderson said. “They are going to have another Brock Road on their hands.” Pickering regional councillor Rick Johnson said in fact his municipality is not pleased. He explained seven years ago the Province announced Hwy. 407 would end at Brock Road and since that time traffic volume has become a problem. Coun. Johnson said Pickering does not want to see the same thing happen with Hwy. 7. “The City of Pickering finds that to- tally unacceptable,” Coun. Johnson said. “Turning over to the Region is down- loading and it has got to stop.” Although the Province has offered some funding for road reconstruction, Coun. Johnson said the Region needs to consider the future costs of the road. He uses Hwy. 2 as an example, downloaded to the Region and now costing a fortune to maintain, Coun. Johnson said. Hwy. 2 is estimated to cost in the area of $2 million to maintain, $5,000 annually per kilometre of single lane. “Hwy. 7 will be a mirror to Hwy. 2,” Coun. Johnson said. “And we don’t want them to give it to us unless they give us the money to widen it to four lanes. “The property taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for commuter traffic moving through their municipality,” Coun. John- son said. “ And Hwy. 7, the majority is used for commuter traffic.” ✦ Downloading from page 1 Downloading of road ‘unacceptable’: Johnson of phone calls from residents con- cerned about the statements being made. “We had people phone our office wanting to know what was wrong with the water,” Mr. Murray said. “There is nothing wrong with the water.” This isn’t the first time the Region has received such complaints. In early 2004, nearly 100 complaints about water filter sales people flooded in. “We haven’t had this issue for the past year or more,” Mr. Murray said. He said they assumed the company had packed up and moved on. So, when calls once again started to come in, the Region wanted to head it off. “It is totally misleading,” Mr. Mur- ray said. “Its only purpose is to make a sale.” Durham Region does not sell or en- dorse water treatment equipment for customers of the Region’s municipal water supply systems. If such sales representatives solicit residents, they are encouraged to call and report their experience to the Region’s Technical Support staff. “We want to provide accurate in- formation so (residents) do know the water is safe,” Mr. Murray said. “There is no need for them to buy additional equipment.” The Region’s works department assures residents the municipal water supply meets, and in many cases exceeds, all of the Ontario Drinking Water Quality Stan- dards. “We do have a program in place that provides drinking water that is safe,” Mr. Murray said. The Region uses a licensed, ac- credited laboratory, as required by Provincial regulations, to confirm the quality and safety of the water. Municipal water is tested on an ongoing basis, as required by the On- tario Drinking Water Regulations, set by the Province.

Investigators want to speak to wit- nesses, including motorists who may have been passing by at the time of the 7:30 a.m. assault on Stroud’s Road. Durham Regional Police said the man found his car windshield cov- ered in broken eggs. As he was clean- ing the mess up he was jumped and beaten by three men who clubbed him with objects, police said. The attack ended when the vic- tim’s wife and teenaged daughter screamed at the assailants, all de- scribed as Asian men in their late teens or early 20s. Police say the attack was probably not random.

NEWS ADVERTISER 905-683-5110 Ho spital money there— with strings By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM — The hospital re- ceived the green light last week for its redevelopment project, but millions of dollars pledged remain contingent on other fac- tors. The Rouge Valley Health Sys- tem Foundation has $20.7 mil- lion either in the bank or pledged towards the estimated $59.1 mil- lion redevelopment project, but more than $10 million of that money has conditions attached. Regional council pledged $3.5 million, but in December, fol- lowing a controversy about the transfer of pediatrics and ob- stetrics from Ajax to Centenary, a motion was passed that the money be dependant on council being satisfied with the services offered. (The services ending up staying in Ajax). Regional chairman Roger Anderson said even though the redevelopment has been given the go ahead by the Province, the hospital still has to come to council. “The motion is pretty clear the board has to appear before council and satisfy council as to the direction of the hospital,” he said. “We just want to be satis- fied the services will continue to be there.” Ajax Mayor Steve Parish was supportive of that regional mo- tion. “I would think the way it should unfold is once the an- nouncement turns into real- ity...then I think these funds will flow,” he said following the March 9 announcement. Debbie McGarry, president and CEO of Rouge Valley Hospi- tal Foundation, said the money won’t be needed until construc- tion starts (probably not until summer 2007) and it won’t be needed all at once. “I have complete faith in our community and the donors who have supported us in the past that the money will be there when it is needed,” she said. “Our number one priority is to respect our donors needs and then we try to make it work with the cash flow the hospital needs.” The biggest donation, $7.5 million, is tied to the devel- opment of Seaton in central Pickering. In May 2005, Joe Lebovic made the offer on behalf of himself, Fred DeGasperis and Mattamy Homes in exchange for subdivision approvals within 18 months. Distribution of the money is to be tied to the num- ber of building permits issued. The three are the landown- ers who will receive property in Seaton in exchange for giving the Province land they owned on the Oak Ridges Moraine in Richmond Hill. (That exchange is still not complete). Lloyd Cherniak, Lebovic En- terprise’s executive vice-presi- dent, said as of March 10 he hadn’t talked to the hospital about the latest announcement. Ten months into the 18-month time frame set out in the deal, Mr. Cherniak said the Province is moving along and the ques- tion of timing lies with the City of Pickering. “We have made the pledge to the hospital; we hope everything will turn out,” he said. The final number would be agreed upon once the draft ap- provals are given and they know how many units are to be built. Pay out would happen as each batch of building permits is is- sued. Even though the land hasn’t been swapped and develop- ment hasn’t begun in Seaton, Ms. McGarry is confident the pledge will be there when it is needed. “If it is delayed significantly we’ll have to look at how we’ll provide those dollars,” she said. When asked what she meant by delayed significantly, she said if in a couple years there was no movement in Seaton.

She’s walks the walk. “I’m a high school teach- er and as part of my teach- ing, I’ve always stressing to my students being respon- sible citizens, politically ac- tive and socially aware,” she says. “If I preach this mes- sage, I better be prepared to pick up the ball and run with it.” An English teacher at Sin- clair Secondary School, Ms. Gladman is making her first attempt at elected office, carrying the New Demo- cratic Party banner in the March 30 Whitby-Ajax Rid- ing byelection. Her reason for running -- aside from what she tells her students -- is “to send a message to Queen’s Park about what’s going on, what’s not going on and what should be going on. Premier (Dalton) McGuinty promises have either been ignored or he’s backed off of them. “Health care really hasn’t been well attended to by this government,” she says. “The McGuinty government rein- stated the OHIP premium. It’s really hit the lower rung of the socio-economic lad- der the hardest. They can’t really afford it.” The big issue at the door is health care, Ms. Gladman adds. “This riding is bookend- ed with examples of health- care mismanagement. At one end there’s the Whitby hospital and at the other end there’s the Ajax hos- pital. People are very wor- ried about where and when they’ll obtain their health care,” she states. Ms. Gladman also points to medical services that have been de-listed, meaning OHIP won’t cover the cost of them. These include eye examinations, chiropractic care and physiotherapy. “It forces people to pay for these themselves or they go without them and then that cost the health-care system more,” she says. Public transit also hasn’t been funded properly, she states, noting GO Transit announced a fare increase recently. “The so-called amalga- mation of Durham Transit has been ineffective, largely because there hasn’t been any input of provincial dol- lars,” she states. Mr. McGuinty referred to himself as the “educa- tion premier,” Ms. Gladman notes, adding teachers were hopeful when he was elect- ed. “We really put our faith in him. He said he would re- store full funding, as per the Rozanski report. So far, he hasn’t done that. He hasn’t changed the basic nature of funding,” she says. There are 22 portables at Sinclair, Ms. Gladman notes. “He said he would ad- dress it and he hasn’t. He’s playing a shell game,” she says. “I smile ironically every time (education minister) Gerard Kennedy makes an announcement.” Ms. Gladman is the vice- president of District 13 of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federa- tion. She’s been involved with the union for about 10 years and has been on the executive for four years. “It’s an incredible experi- ence. It’s very eye opening.” newsdurhamregion.com keywordsearch: byelection2006 Whitby-Ajax Riding Votes March 30 Teacher bids for office , says health care ‘big issue at door’ Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Julie Gladman is the NDP candidate in the Whitby-Ajax Riding. Longfield a familiar face to local voters By David Blumenfeld Staff Writer AJAX — Judi Longfield is no stranger to politics. In spite of her claim she would not run as the Lib- eral candidate in the provin- cial byelection after losing in the Jan. 23 federal elec- tion, Ms. Longfield decided she couldn’t walk away from public service. She decided to jump into the race to replace the man she lost to in January, Jim Flaherty. In a bit of a twist, she gets to face off against Mr. Flaherty’s wife, Conservative candidate Christine Elliott. Ms. Longfield has a long career as a politician. She was a Whitby municipal council- lor for five years, followed by three consecutive terms as a an MPP. “This is not an entry level job. We’re halfway through our mandate and the person who is elected needs to be on the ground running,” said Ms. Longfield, who was elect- ed an MPP in Whitby-Ajax as a Liberal in 1997 and 2000, and again in 2004 in Whitby- Oshawa, after the riding boundary restructuring. The next provincial election is in October 2007, giving the win- ner just 18 months before a return trip to the polls. “I have experience work- ing in this riding at all lev- els,” said Ms. Longfield, who has lived in Whitby with her husband, Alan, and their son, Michael, for 35 years. “I know the system and I know what it takes to get things done. I have delivered results and I want to continue to fight for this community. That’s my main focus... to get as much infrastructure and investment... as I possibly can.” During her time in Ottawa, Ms. Longfield served on a number of committees, in- cluding panels on national development and veterans affairs, child custody and ac- cess, development and status of persons with disabilities. In her last 17 months in office, she said she helped secure about $300 million in fund- ing for Durham Region. Regionally, she is very proud of the millions of dollars in investment committed to the General Motors’ Beacon Project, and the gas tax re- bate now being given to local municipalities. She is also proud of the various local infrastructure projects she has helped bring about, including secured funding for public libraries and fire halls in Whitby and Ajax, and the Rossland Road and Garden Street bridges in Whitby. “Those are significant in- vestments. All those things make a difference in the eco- nomic viability of this com- munity. I want to do the same at the provincial level,” she said. Moreover, she wants to continue to be a voice for local residents and improve services, such as health care, that she says seem to have slipped in this community. “You can’t sit by and watch what’s happened over the years and not be involved,” she said. “I know the system. I know what it takes to get things done.” newsdurhamregion.com keywordsearch: byelection2006 Walter Passarella/ News Advertiser photo Judi Longfield is the Liberal candidate for Whitby-Ajax riding.

Invitation to experience a Canadian adventure and see country with Katimavik DURHAM — Yo uth be- tween ages 17 and 21 are invited to apply for a nine- month journey of self-dis- covery in Canada. Ajax and Pickering se- nior high school students who are still unsure about jumping into post-second- ary school, can apply for Katimavik instead and trav- el across Canada, develop professional and life skills, and make friends while volunteering. Through the program, participants spend nine months experiencing a va- riety of work environments with several different orga- nizations. The program provides them with the opportunity to build their resume and discover future goals. They’ll live in three dif- ferent communities across Canada and be involved in projects ranging from building hiking trails to teaching kids to read. Application deadline is May 5 for all Ajax and Pickering youth to take part in the program, starting next September and Octo- ber. For application informa- tion visit www.katimavik. org. Since 1977, more than 25,000 young Canadians have participated in the Katimavik program. The experience helps them develop their sense of civic responsibility and gain self-confidence. Katimavik’s goal is to form responsible citizens who will contribute signifi- cantly to Canadian society. The program receives fi- nancial assistance from the Department of Canadian Heritage.

That was the message from Chris Bentley, the minister of colleges and universities, who invited both sides in the college teachers’ strike to sit down and discuss the situation with him this past Friday. Apparently the minister’s message was heard as both the college teachers and the College Compensation Council will go back to the table Monday. Both sides have had nearly two weeks of picket lines, press releases and public education to make their respective points. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of college students find their school years, and their lives, stuck in limbo. There is a critical difference between the current job action and the previous one undertaken in 1989. The 1989 college teacher strike took place in the fall, near the start of the school year. That four-week walkout resulted in an additional week of instruction and students were looked after. However, this time out, with two weeks of school lost so far and counting, students have much bigger concerns. Some fear they won’t graduate on time, leaving them scrambling to find work. Others worry their much-needed placements, which often can result in a job offer, will be curtailed or missed entirely. Every week of instruction lost will result in a lengthened school year. That leaves those who need to work full-time to afford to return to school with less time to earn cash critical to help pay the bills. It hasn’t been easy for the public to get a han- dle on what this strike is really all about. To most it would appear the offer by the Province of a 12.6 per cent salary increase over four years, combined with an average teaching load of 14 hours per week and maximum salaries reaching $94,000, is reason- able enough. Union reps say the strike “is not about money,” but rather about limiting class sizes and teacher workload. If neither side shows any intent to settle, the Province should bring in back-to-work legislation so students aren’t the only ones who end up losing out. School drug use rampant To the editor: As a longtime resident of the community and the mother of four children, three of whom are teens, I have had an ongoing concern about the situation in our high schools. Drug abuse, alcohol abuse, drug trafficking and theft are rampant in our schools. I have worked with several local high school teachers who estimate that as many as 20 per cent of students in any given classroom are stoned when they attend, if they attend. Drug deals take place in hallways and students take drugs on school property. Our high schools often do not take attendance and many students miss classes regularly, often to drink and do drugs. Drug trafficking, gang behaviour, violence and the wide- spread theft of personal items lead may students to fear for their safety while in school. It’s time that we acknowledge and address our part in this problem. Simple values of honesty and respect for others seem to be missing in many young people. Many students feel alien- ated in a society and school system that frequently ignores their needs. It is the responsibility of the community to strongly address the symptoms and the causes. As teen crime and high school drop-out rates continue to rise, none of us can afford to look away. Parents, teachers, administrators, police, media and our local politicians must look at our roles and responsibilities in this and work toward solutions.

I f college faculty is really fighting for quality education, it should get back to class and find other ways to protest its contract. Wrapping up their second week of picketing, teachers from Ontar- io’s 24 community colleges are potentially pushing back year’s end for students and claiming it’s for the benefit of their educa- tion. “I want to stress it’s not about money,” said Debbie Rautins, vice-president of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) local 354 and the local strike co-ordinator. “I would tell students this is about them.” But, with every day students spend sit- ting at home instead of in class, receiving the education for which they’ll probably still be paying for many years to come, it doesn’t look like their teachers are doing them any favours. With all the hype over a university ed- ucation lately, college students have a tough enough time competing with uni- versity graduates for jobs. Even if they manage to finish this year on time, as is being planned by colleges, potential employees may question what kind of condensed education they’ve received. Although claims are being made by strikers that their protests are not about money, it’s hard to believe. Written on the handout provided by pickets at Durham College last Tuesday is, “We want salary improvements so colleges can attract and keep the best possible faculty at appropri- ate pay rates between high schools and universities.” It also includes points about smaller classrooms, more teachers and faculty time with students. The strike is also about money for many college students who depend on summer jobs to pay for their upcoming year. Qual- ity education means nothing if students can’t afford it because their teachers were out picketing. According to a March 7 release by the Association of Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology of Ontario, key elements of the offer to OPSEU include a 12.6-per cent increase in salary over four years, which would increase the maximum pay to $94,277 by April 2009 and maintain av- erage teaching times in the classroom at 14 hours per week. In their 2004 contract, effective from Sept. 2003 to Aug. 2005, faculty received a 7.5-per cent raise over two years. If the proposed 12.6 offer is accepted, by 2009 they’ll have gotten a 20 per cent raise over six years. College faculty have been without a contract since Aug. 31 - why not go a few more months and let students finish the year, then hit the picket lines?

I was 13 years old and my reading and math skills were at a grade 3 level. I had grown older and the seriousness of my problem had become a great concern. Through a friend, my mother heard about the successes of a program called Arrowsmith. I began going to Arrowsmith at the age of 14. When I first started the program I was at a grade 4 reading level and a grade 3 in math. For the first year, I only worked on a series of cognitive exercises for my specific problems and after half a year, we could see significant progress. This was the first time that we ever saw progress that showed measurable gains. I was able to read and understand basic math formulas at a level that I was unable to, prior to doing the exercises, by the end of the year. My capacity for understanding had grown. I spent three years in the Arrowsmith Program. At the end of my three years, I Arrowsmith program brings hope and confidence to kids with learning difficulties was at grade 10 in both reading and math. For the first time in my life I was at my grade level. I went on to graduate from high school and college. Arrowsmith strengthened areas of my brain, which enabled me with the gift of being able to participate in learning. Before Arrowsmith I lacked the ability to grasp the concepts that were essential to surviving in the world today. Learning disabilities offer unique and unexpected challenges. Fortunately, they can also inspire unique and unexpected ideas and solutions. Barbara Arrowsmith Young founded the Arrowsmith Program, a cognitive program based on neuroscientific research and 25 years experience at Arrowsmith School in Toronto, that is now available in seven schools in the Toronto Catholic District School Board as well as eight private schools in Canada and one in New York. One parent who helped bring the Arrowsmith Program to her child’s school said, “I knew the program could make permanent changes that will benefit my children not only in academics, but in life. I didn’t want a program to treat the symptoms, I wanted a program designed to treat at the source of the problems.” You may visit the school’s website at www.arrowsmithschool.org or telephone 416 963-4962 for more information. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 10 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, March 19, 2006 New digs for Township council PICKERING — As the Brougham To w nship Hall aged and needed repair and upgrading, Pickering Township council decided it needed to find a new home. In August 1944, the Township pur- chased The Brougham Hotel from Mrs. Matthews, widow of Lafe Matthews, who had owned and operated the hotel from the time he purchased it in 1936. After some renovating and upgrad- ing had been completed, Pickering To w nship council moved into its new quarters October 28, 1944 and held its first meeting Nov. 1. What had been the Brougham Hotel for many years was now Pickering Township’s Municipal Building. This article and the photo are cour- tesy of Pickering Public Library local history staff.

I have noticed that along with my other bodily changes, my feet and legs are also affected. What other changes might I expect and how can I keep myself more comfortable? As you begin to gain weight due to pregnancy the added stresses placed on the foot are most notice- able as you approach your delivery date. An important hormone you are producing during the preg- nancy is relaxin. This enables your ligaments to be more lax so that they can expand, not just around the stomach and pelvic area for the fetus, but also in the foot. The foot will lengthen and widen during the pregnancy allowing for a greater surface area to carry the additional weight. After delivering, in most cases, the foot will revert back to normal, although some of my pa- tients complain that their foot has remained at least half to a full size larger. The best bit of advice I can give you is to wear good support- ive shoes. These will support the arch, shock absorb during the lat- ter months and accommodate the swollen foot by loosening the laces. If you were used to wearing higher heeled shoes before the pregnancy and now you are wearing fl ats, you may notice some calf muscle strain, either at its insertion behind the knee or at the achilles tendon. Pressure of the fetus in the pel- vic area where the veins lead back to the heart, may cause a back up of blood in these veins. This can lead to varicose veins and swelling of the foot and legs. It is most im- portant to keep your legs elevated. Also a good pair of properly fi tted, but not too tight, support hose will control the swelling. If you were a pronator before your pregnancy, the increased laxity and fl atter arch will lead to hyperpronation. I cannot over em- phasize the importance of a good supportive shoe.

The best bit of advice I can give you is to wear good supportive shoes. These will support the arch, shock absorb during the latter months and accommodate the swollen foot by loosening the laces. in the fi rst three months is noted as well as an increase in foot perspira- tion and corresponding odour. I always try to encourage my pa- tients to avoid foot problems before they manifest themselves, however, having sore feet is a small price to pay for the wondrous miracle of hav- ing a child. Especially when most of the foot and leg problems will revert back to normal within the month or two after delivery.

Page 19 Booker vying for a medal at Paralympics Ajacian and Canadian sledge hockey team play Norway for gold AJAX — Ajax’s Jeremy Booker is guaranteed to return from the 2006 Paralympic Games in Torino, Italy with a medal. The only question that remains is whether it will be gold or silver. Booker and the Canadian men’s sledge hockey team played for gold against rival Norway in Italy on Sat- urday, with the result unavailable at press time Friday. The Canadians booked their tick- ets to the gold-medal game after scoring a decisive 5-0 shutout victo- ry over Germany in semifinal action on Thursday. Booker, a left winger, had several solid opportunities dur- ing the contest, but was unable to convert. Canada and Norway have faced off twice in 2005-06, with Canada winning 3-1 in December to cap- ture the German Invitational. Nor- way, however, defeated Canada in earlier round-robin action at the Paralympics, 4-1, earlier this week. In other round-robin play, Cana- da started the Paralympics with a 9- 0 thumping of Great Britain. Booker scored a goal in the contest. In Game 2, the Canadians up- ended host Italy 12-0, with Booker contributing an assist. Booker, 19, who was born with spina bifida, leaving him unable to walk, is in his first Paralympic com- petition after becoming a member of Canada’s national sledge hockey team four years ago. In an interview prior to leaving for the Paralympics, Booker noted that he believed Canada had a shot at a gold medal, but added that Nor- way and the Americans would be the Canadians’ chief competition. The U.S. and Norway did meet up in the semifinal, with the Nor- wegians earning a 4-2 victory, thus earning a chance to compete for gold with the Canadians. Sledge hockey is the version of traditional hockey for athletes with a disability, including checking against the boards, constant turn- overs, players changing on the fly, sudden and lightning hits, spec- tacular saves and special pads for protection. First time Central regional ringette team golden at Games DURHAM — The Central Fury ‘AAA’ ringette team capped off a dream season by defeating Western Region 7–1 in the final of the Ontario Winter Games in Barrie last week- end. Central earned a bye to the gold- medal game by finishing first in the round robin with a 4-0-1 record. Western made its way to the final with an emotional, hard-fought win in the semifinal over the favoured Eastern team, winning 7-6. In the final, Central got off to a quick start with an early 2-0 lead. Western responded with a goal, making it 2-1 before Central took control. Central’s potent offence was too much for Western as they scored five unanswered goals for the vic- tory. Deanna DaDalt led the way with four goals in the final; Jodie Hannen, Lyndsay Whyte, and Carly Taylor added single markers to round out the scoring. The win marks the first time Cen- tral Region has won the gold in rin- gette at the Ontario Winter Games. As a precursor to the Games, Central won two out of three of the Challenge Cup tournaments held earlier in the season. The team fin- ished with an impressive combined record of 17-1-5 on the season. Central Region players are drawn from the ringette associations of Whitby, Pickering and Ajax. Other team members are Kelsey Gallant, Caitlyn Helling- man, Elyssa Jasper, Kristin John- ston, Christine Langford, Megan Macaulay, Chantelle McCrae, Al- lison Parent, Keri Shanks, Erin Stepniak, Alanna Ticknor and Kim Wilson. Ed Stepniak, Doug Freeman, Karen Duguay, Lindsay Freeman, and Carolyn Mountjoy coach the team. The manager is Jerry Johnston. Central unleashes Fury on Western in final Aj ax-Pickering juniors off to provincials Qualify for Ontarios after beating Whitby in ringette series DURHAM — It wasn’t easy, but the Ajax-Pickering junior ‘A’ ringette team is headed for Sault Ste. Marie to compete in the 2006 Ontario Pro- vincial Championships. Ajax-Pickering will represent Central Region at the provincials, from March 23 to 26. Ajax-Pickering will battle the best in the Province at the Soo. Other teams are Ham- ilton (Southern Region), London (Western Region), Nepean (Eastern Region), Valley East (North Eastern Region), Thunder Bay (North West- ern Region) and host West Ferris, the wild card entry. The juniors earned the right to compete at the provincials after downing the Whitby Wildcats in a best-of-three regional playdown two games to none. Both games, however, were hotly contested. Ajax-Pickering scored a come- from-behind 5-4 overtime victory over Whitby in Game 2 to complete the series sweep. Whitby opened the contest with four consecutive goals to take a commanding lead in the first period. With only seconds left in the frame, however, Natalie Pozzan beat the Whitby goalie, assisted by Maddy Bubis, to put Ajax-Pickering on the board. Bench coach Shannon Kay rallied the troops at the half-time break and a different team emerged. Ajax- Pickering scored three unanswered goals in the second period to send the contest to overtime. Just seconds into overtime, Nicole Vernoy emerged as the hero, pot- ting the game winner, assisted by Samantha Embleton and Jordanne Florio. Other regulation scorers were Bubis, Pozzan and Jessie Kay, who netted the equalizer. Pozzan added an assist. Shannon Sauve provided stellar defence and forechecking. In the provincial qualifying series opener, Ajax-Pickering scored a 4-3 victory. Embleton, with two, Kay, Pozzan and Embleton scored, with assists to Vernoy with two, Bubis and Kay. In the dying minutes of the final frame, still one player shorthand- ed, Ajax-Pickering withstood the barrage, thanks to a game-saving stop by goalie Hilary Trentadue on a breakaway. Ajax-Pickering’s de- fence core of Kristie Budai, Sarah Sidaway and Jade West, assisted by centermen Laura Bignell, held off the Wildcats’ crushing attack.

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.

The Panthers benefited from a balanced attack, strong defence and out- standing goaltending en route to their first tourna- ment victory of the season. In the championship game, Pickering started strongly, building a 2-0 first-period lead and holding tight to their two-goal advantage the rest of the way to a 4-2 deci- sion over the Aurora Tigers to take the home the title. Pickering goaltender Dan- iel Tomei was named the tournament’s most valuable player. In a semifinal showdown between the Panthers and crosstown rival Ajax Knights, the Pickering peewees post- ed a come-from-behind 8- 6 victory. The Panthers fell behind 3-0, but came alive with seven third-period goals to seal the win. In round-robin action, the Panthers defeated the Georgetown Raiders 4-1, tied the West Hill Golden Hawks 4-4 and suffered their only defeat of the tourna- ment to the Hamilton Ice Cats, 4-1. Other team members are Ky le Adams, Scott Anderson, Ky le Bennett, Jordan DeSilva, Ky le Dwyer, David Elwood, Andrew Garel, Adam Good- win, Chris Halkett, Robbie Heard, Ryan Hofmann, Scott Polley, Blair Rutherford, Tra- vis Rutherford, Joel Savoie and Matthew Ungar. Call- ups Dennis Linthwaite, John McIntyre, Jesse Aldridge and Tyler Davies stepped into the vacant spots in the lineup and contributed to the Pan- thers’ tournament success. Roy Elwood coaches the team, assisted by Steve Hof- mann, Chad Hosein, Rob Garel and Jim Anderson. The managers are Scott Goodwin and Fil Tomei. Want to know what’s happening in Pickering?
