A portapac fire shut down the Pickering school a few days before summer break in June. The weekend fire affected a portapac of primary classrooms and no one was hurt. At the time, Pickering Fire Services Captain Dominic Browne said the fire began underneath the structure and went into the floor of the building. The portapac sustained extensive dam- age while the school building itself suffered “lots of smoke damage.” Mark Joel, the superintendent for Pickering schools at the Dur- ham District School Board, said the cause of the fire has not been determined. He said air quality tests show the main building is negative for asbestos and it’s safe to re- enter the school. The damaged portapac is still on site, but blocked from student access, while the board awaits di- rection from the ministry of educa- tion and its insurance company on if the portapac will be torn down and replaced or rebuilt. Portables have been brought in to make up for the lost space. [ What’s on ] Strap on the feed bag at pig roast AJAX — The tenants of the Doric Pickering Masonic Hall in Ajax invite residents to a community pig roast. It’s on Saturday, Sept. 9 starting at 3:30 p.m. at the hall, lo- cated at 457 Kingston Rd. W. (at Mill St reet).

Committee wants council to include the lands that they want removed from the greenbelt to the Province as a sup- plemental attachment to the Region Official Plan (ROP) The Region and the Province have had a number of meetings in the past two months regarding the ROP review and it’s compliance with the Province’s Places to Grow Act, which both pres- ent a vision for the future of Durham Region. In a letter dated Aug. 29 from Larry Clay of the ministry of municipal affairs and housing, the Region was asked not to include a map showing its requested changes to the Greenbelt Plan in the proposed official plan review. “There are no plans to consider changes to the Greenbelt Plan outside of the 10-year review,” the letter reads. The planning committee meeting, on committee’s decision on the draft amendments to the ROP, stretched over two days and members heard from nearly 30 delegates from across the region. The committee approved amend- ment 114 to the ROP for the trans- portation, commercial, rural, envi- ronmental, and certain aspects of the population, employment and urban land components of the ROP review. As per the direction of council, all pol- icy and mapping revisions that do not conform with the Province’s growth plan were not considered. Staff presented committee with three options for addressing the long- term growth management vision por- trayed in the proposed amendment, recognizing the effect of the provincial growth plan policies. Roger Saunders explained to com- mittee that option three was the most agreeable choice. “The approach is acceptable and would not result in a conflict with the Province,” said Mr. Saunders, Dur- THEY’RE BACK Rob Mitchell/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — It was noses in the books for Ann Cartier’s Grade 2 class on the first day of school.

Association aims to promote and support the developmentally disabled within the community but lack of funding an issue By Alistair Lowe Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — Lori MacKinnon’s greatest dream is to swim at the Wo rld Special Olympics. Upon re- viewing her history, however, one could argue she deserves a medal already. Community Living Ajax, Pickering, and Whitby (CLAPW) is turning 50, and has helped thousands of de- velopmentally disabled people like Ms. MacKinnon throughout Dur- ham Region since 1957, when it was called the Ajax-Pickering and Whitby Association for Retarded Children. CLAPW supports more than 300 peo- ple with programs such as residen- tial, vocational, community access, and family supports. Ms. MacKinnon has been an as- sociation client since the early ’90s. The Oshawa-born 34-year-old has a learning disability that hasn’t slowed her down. “I’m glad I went to Community Living,” the Pickering resident says. Originally, she went to ARC In- dustries (a program run by CLAPW), working in the front office answering phones, filing, and helping with pay- roll. The experience “helped (her) to learn how to deal with other people.” Not long afterwards, Ms. MacKin- non utilized the skills she developed at ARC to obtain employment at the Ajax Loblaws. “I collected the (shopping) carts, in the rain, in the snow, whatever,” she recalls. Asthma forced her to resign under doctors orders. During her time at Loblaws she also volunteered at Heron House Daycare in Ajax, work- ing with pre-school aged children. Since 2000, Ms. MacKinnon has worked at the Pickering Canadian Tire Store four days a week, four hours a day. She enjoys her job, but when asked if people treat her dif- ferently she said, “Some are rude, but some are OK.” It’s a common complaint among developmentally or physically challenged people. She has either lived alone, or with a roommate, receiving minimal sup- port for a number of years now. She cooks, cleans, does laundry, and pays her own bills. She enjoys knitting, A ssembly set to review electoral reform Durham residents view participation as ‘exciting’ opportunity By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer DURHAM — It’s an opportunity Te d Savelle, Nancy Collins, Raj Roo- pansingh and 100 other Ontarians just couldn’t pass up. Mr. Savelle, Ms. Collins and Mr. Roo- pansingh were chosen as members of the Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform, a new body the provincial government appointed to determine if the existing electoral system serves the needs of the public. One volunteer from each riding in Ontario was picked to sit on the as- sembly, which meets for the first time Sept. 9. Mr. Roopansingh, an Ajax resident representing Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge Riding, says he wanted to be involved because, “it’s a historic process what we’re going through right now. I want- ed to get involved. It was intriguing to me, getting citizens involved, studying and maybe changing the whole pro- cess.” His hope for the process is “I don’t want to say change, I’m hoping to understand the process more. It’s a great learning process of the whole electoral process,” Mr. Roopansingh states. “If change is to be made, it’s something my kids and grandchildren can say ‘my grandfather was part of Community Living Ajax, Pickering, and Whitby turns 50 ✦ See Referendum, Page A2 ✦ See Greenbelt, Page A2 STYLISH NISSAN Check out this ride Wheels pullout OSWEGO STATE BOUND Ajax’s Dormiedy gets precious scholarship Page B1 ✦ See Group, Page A2 www.dce.ca Register online at Durham Continuing Education REGISTER NOW WE OFFER COURSES • MORNINGS • AFTERNOONS • ALL DAY • EVENINGS 1 DAY WORKSHOPS AVAILABLE FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS IN Offi ce 2003 Fundamentals Certifi cate 6 WEEKS Offi ce 2003 Profi ciency Certifi cate 12 WEEKS Accounting Certifi cate Options 3 WEEKS • OUTLOOK • PUBLISHER • WINDOWS • ADOBE PHOTOSHOP • FLASH MX • WEBPAGE DESIGN • DREAM WEAVER • AND MORE 120 Centre St. S., Oshawa HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE COURSES STARTING IN SEPTEMBER COURSE NAME STARTS FEE First Look at Computers . . . . . . .

The CLAPW’s vision statement states, “All persons who live with a developmental disability have a right to dignity, inclusion, and participa- tion in a safe community environ- ment.” It’s something Paul Rosebush M.S.W., R.S.W., executive director of CLAPW, agrees with wholeheart- edly. He has a long history of service to community and country, serving 20 years in the Canadian military and three years as manager of family ser- vices for Durham Region. Nestled among the homes on Em- peror Street in Ajax is the CLAPW head office, where Mr. Rosebush pointed with pride to pictures on the wall of the nine group homes the as- sociation runs. This type of residential support, however, is desperately lacking. “We have 250 to 300 people in Durham Region who are in a crisis situation,” he said. Mr. Rosebush explains these are people living with elderly parents who can no longer take care of their adult children. The Supported Independent Living (SIL) Residential Program provides help to adults who live in community settings with limited support. The program is also able to help adults who live with their parents learn the necessary skills to live on their own. The Community Participation Pro- gram gives individuals the chance to take part in community-based events, to promote physical, social, and emotional well-being. Designed for families with a child who is developmentally disabled, the Family Support Program assists parents in obtaining the appropriate services and resources. It also offers a wealth of informa- tion for parents, from education is- sues to long-term planning. ARC Industries was founded in 1966. A small assembly plant, it employs 75 mentally and physically chal- lenged clients in an industrial setting in order to develop job skills. The plant sub-contracts to compa- nies like Ford and Siemens, offering part assembly, packaging, collating, bus shelter maintenance services and more. But, all is not well at CLAPW, through no fault of staff members. CLAPW (a United Way member agency) is a non-profit organization that is in desperate need of funds. From a simple donation, a fundrais- er, or industrial contracts through ARC, every penny is needed. “We are the under-funded sector of the Ontario government,” Mr. Rose- bush says. “Health and schools get most of the funding.” On its golden anniversary, CLAPW’s name may have changed, but the challenges remain the same. For more information regarding CLAPW, call 905-427-3300 or visit www.cl-apw.org. Group is in desperate need of funds to continue work Greenbelt shouldn’t be in plan: Parish ham’s manager of policy, planning and special studies. With option three the Region’s vi- sion for the Greenbelt would not be included in the plan but would appear as a supplemental attachment to it. “The supplemental attachment can- not be appealed because it is not ac- tually part of the plan,” Mr. Saunders said. But Ajax Mayor, Steve Parish didn’t see it that way. “In a letter dated July 10 the minister says in part, ‘the act is now law and the plan and boundaries are final’,” Mayor Parish said. In light of what Mayor Parish called a clear and definitive answer from the minister, the Region would be wrong in considering option three. He instead asked committee to defer a decision on urban area boundary expansions pending the completion of the Growth Plan implementation exercise. “It is unequivocal that the Green- belt shouldn’t be in the official plan,” Mayor Parish said. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said the Greenbelt supplement says in 2006 Durham Re- gion looked at and supported chang- ing the Greenbelt. “Our staff will work diligently to be one of the first regions to incorpo- rate the Province’s Greenbelt into our documents,” Mr. Anderson said. Regional council will consider the amendment to the ROP on Sept. 13. Referendum on government could follow report the change.’” “It’s exciting, it’s unique, it’s new. I’m excited to be part of the process,” states Mr. Savelle, a Whitby resident. Other Regional residents on the as- sembly are Margo Bath (Durham Rid- ing) and Marie McLaren (Haliburton- Victoria-Brock). Mr. Savelle, representing Whitby- Ajax Riding, says he had worked in polling stations during elections and “I thought our process was going along fine.” He also received a letter from the government about the assembly and was interested in joining. He went to the information meeting and “quite literally, my name was pulled from a hat,” Mr. Savelle states. The assembly will gather over a se- ries of weekends during the fall. “It’s a learning phase for us,” Mr. Savelle says. “We’ll come to groups with various electoral models out there. We’ll bring them to a forum in Whitby-Ajax. I’ll take the feedback back to the assem- bly.” Mr. Savelle says, “the way the sys- tem is set up right now, it appears to be working. We need to look at it again from a historical perspective. “It’s the first time in Ontario we’ve looked at it,” he adds. The assembly will issue a final re- port by mid-May of next year. If the assembly recommends a change to the electoral system, it will be put to a referendum during the government’s current mandate. Ontario uses the ‘first-past-the-post’ electoral system, so the assembly will look at “different processes out there,” Mr. Savelle states. All three say they’re neutral on elec- toral systems. “We’re just starting the learning phase next month. I can’t say I know too much of the process right now,” Mr. Roopansingh says. He adds his involvement in the pro- cess has been limited to voting. ✦ Referendum from page A1 ✦ Group from page A1 ✦ Greenbelt from page A1 Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Lori MacKinnon sorts out plumbing supplies at the Pickering Canadian Tire Store on Brock Road.

Nighttime golf a hit, raises money for WindReach Farm Golfers were swingin’ in the dark, all the way to a fundraising total of more than $27,000 DURHAM — WindReach farm nearly doubled the amount of money raised at its annual golf tournament this year. On Aug. 8 more than 70 golfers hit the links at the Lakeridge Links Golf Course on Brawly Road in Brooklin for the second annual WindReach Farm Foundation GloBall golf tour- nament. Mary Mooney, with WindReach, explained the golfers ventured out in the dark to play nine holes. They used glow in the dark golf balls and the holes were lit with glow- sticks. “It was a great fit for WindReach because it shows people a little bit what it is like to have a disability,” Ms. Mooney said. “It gave them a bit of perspec- tive on having a different view on things.” More than $27,000 was raised in support of WindReach Farm pro- grams for people with special needs. That’s up significantly from last year’s total of $15,000. The money raised supports Win- dReach Farm and the programs it offers. WindReach is a 105-acre fully ac- cessible farm designed to provide people with the opportunity to spend a day in the country. The farm is located just north of Ashburn, Trial for accused in notorious crime spree begins again Woodcock accused in 1993 killings By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — Ronald Woodcock stood in a prisoner’s dock and replied “Not guilty” 13 times as he was ar- raigned Tuesday on a list of charges relating to one of Durham Region’s most notorious crime sprees. Jury selection began Tuesday morn- ing and was expected to continue throughout the day as hundreds of po- tential panelists filed into the Superior Court building in Whitby. The exercise marked the beginning of Mr. Wood- cock’s retrial on charges relating to the infamous Gagnon Sports robbery, a crime that shook the community 12 years ago. This trial marks the second attempt to retry Mr. Woodcock after a 1998 Ontario Court of Appeal decision that overturned a verdict delivered in Whitby a decade ago. A retrial that began last fall came to a sudden halt when Justice Edwin Minden declared a mistrial in November of 2005. Mr. Woodcock is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and four counts of attempted murder, as well as other charges, for his alleged role in the robbery at the Gagnon shop, as well as the abduction and murder of a Pickering man whose car was used as a getaway vehicle after the heist. Kenneth Thomas was abducted and shot in the head on Sept. 14, 1994; his body was not found for several months. Later that same day two masked men burst into the Gagnon Sports shop, then on Simcoe Street South, and screamed at staff and patrons to get down on the floor. When they were slow to comply one of the masked men opened fire with a .22-calibre handgun, wounding four men and killing Gagnon’s owner Roger Pardy. The bandits fled the store with several handguns. Mr. Woodcock and another man, Roshan Nourozali, were arrested for the robbery and murders several months later and went to trial in 1995. It is estimated the trial will run for two months; Tuesday morning pros- ecutor Greg O’Driscoll, who is teamed with Durham Crown Attorney John Scott, read out a list of more than 60 potential Crown witnesses, including victims of the shootings and numerous police officers from Durham, London, To ronto and the OPP. Mr. Woodcock is represented by de- fence lawyer Peter Zaduk.

That means first-year col- lege and university students are stocking up on pens and buy- ing flip flops for those residence showers. But how many have thought to make a budget for the com- ing school year? Ve ry few, says Chris Rocha, director of financial and awards services at Durham College and UOIT. “First-year students are the hardest hit when it comes to fi- nancial trouble, because they’re often out on their own for the first time,” she explains. “We stress that budgeting is key.” The campus financial ser- vices office offers one-on-one counselling, budget seminars and information on govern- ment loans and internal grants and scholarships. A work-study program that pairs students with part-time jobs on campus, is also avail- able. Unfortunately, many students don’t take advantage of these options until they’re already in over their heads. Eleisha Parchment is going into her third year of legal ad- ministration stud- ies at Durham Col- lege this fall. She wishes she knew then what she knows now. After working at the financial ser- vices office, the 20- year-old has figured out how to navigate the web of grants and awards avail- able and snagged two in her second year. She also learned that “real- istic” is the key word when it comes to working out a student budget. “You can’t pretend you spend this much on shopping or going out, when you know you really spend this much,” she says. “It has to be realistic and something you can stick to.” Ms. Parchment suggests sav- ing as much as possible from summer and part-time jobs and researching every award and grant possible, to cut down on loans. This year, the average univer- sity tuition in Ontario is about $5,000, while college comes in at about $2,000. Add on residence or rent costs, transportation, books and laptops, and it’s easy to see why the majority of students rely on loans -- or think they need to. The average Ontario student grad- uates $25,000 in debt. A ccording to Sandra Sherk, ex- ecutive director of the Credit Counselling Service of Durham Region (CCSDR), it’s important to budget loan money that same way you would paycheques. Students who receive OSAP get money in two chunks -- 60 per cent in the fall and the re- maining 40 per cent in Janu- ary, and those large sums often burn a hole in their pockets. “You have to make that last the whole year, it’s just as im- portant to eat in March and April as it is in the fall,” Ms. Sherk says. “It might be a good idea to put it in the bank and with- draw a certain amount every two weeks, like a paycheque.” While tuition and residence or rent costs are often the main focus of any budget or loan ap- plication, the experts say stu- dents also need to think about the little things, that become “money gobblers.” Ms. Sherk says students often fall prey to the credit card com- panies that appear on cam- pus, because they are burning through loans or savings with small expenses like coffee, eat- ing out, clothes, toiletries or weekend trips. Ms. Parchment remembers making the classic first-year mistake of budgeting for big things -- like tuition -- and for- getting about books, parking passes, food and the hundreds of other little things that crop up. To avoid unpleasant surpris- es, Ms. Sherk suggests students keep a detailed list of all their spending habits before head- ing off to school, so they have a clear picture of how the little things add up. Other first-year tips include buying a phone card instead of calling home collect or wrack- ing up cellphone bills, using credit cards just for emergen- cies or purchases that can be paid off immediately, and keep- ing an organized file for loan information. Return to class means back on a budget for Durham post-secondary students Sandra Sherk Back to school safety campaign hits Durham Police will be watching school areas all week DURHAM — Durham police officers fanned out across the region Tuesday morning as students returned to school, reminding motorists to take care. “Our guys are out there in force,” Sergeant Paul Mc- Curbin said. “We have additional offi- cers out at schools doing traf- fic enforcement.” The week-long campaign is designed to remind drivers the return to classes means more traffic on roads and streets throughout the re- gion. “There’s going to be an in- crease in pedestrian and ve- hicular traffic,” Sgt. McCurbin said. “Slow down and obey the rules of the roads.” Durham police joined their colleagues across the GTA in the back-to-school safety campaign.

The Abilities Centre -- a 72,000 sq. ft. recreation and performing arts facility for people with disabili- ties -- will be on the site of Iroquois Park Sports Centre in Whitby when construction is complete in early 2008. In order to gain financial support for the $16-million cen- tre, a Dream Gala will be held on Thursday, Oct. 12, at Deer Creek Golf and Banquet Facility in Ajax. More than 600 people are expected to attend. Tickets are $250 each. “It’s going to be a great night,” said Ken Shaw, chairman of the Abilities Centre’s board of direc- tors. “As for the Abilities Centre itself, it’s going to be a real jewel in Durham’s crown.” In addition to federal and pro- vincial cabinet ministers, invita- tions have also been extended to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Ontario Premier Dalton Mc- Guinty. A cocktail reception and si- lent auction will begin at 6:30 p.m., followed by dinner, a live auction and musical entertainment. Mr. Shaw said the Abilities Cen- tre will not only serve the residents of Durham Region, but those in outside communities as well. “I think it’s going to be larger than the surrounding community,” he said. “I think it’s going to be a centre of excellence for people with different challenges, and it is going to be, I hope, a world- renowned centre at programming and integrating people with differ- ent challenges, with able-bodied people.” Whitby-Ajax MPP Christine El- liott, who also serves on the Abili- ties Centre board of directors, said the Dream Gala is a great event for an excellent cause. “It’s going to be a fun event for a worthy cause,” she said. “The Abilities Centre is going to be not just a regional centre, but an in- ternational centre of excellence for inclusionary practices. It’s got a lot of potential and we certainly en- courage people to come on board. “Most people have someone in their family with special needs that they can identify with... and it’s got tremendous scope not only in terms of sports and recreation, but performing arts and drama and music. We want to create potential for everyone.” The Abilities Centre is expected to be open in the spring of 2008, Ms. Elliott said, just in time for the Special Olympics Summer Games which will be centred at the Uni- versity of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology (UOIT). “We’re hoping to get the shovel in the ground by the end of this year in order to meet that deadline. We’re really working hard to get our doors open so that we can host some of the events,” she said. For more information about the Dream Gala or to purchase tickets, call Jennifer Ayotte at 905-665-8500 or go to www.abilitiescentre.org. NEWS A DVERTISER There’s lots more news online at durhamregion.com PA GE A6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ SEPTEMBER 6, 2006A/P Even in our darkest moments, there’s something, perhaps only a little thing, that helps us carry on I have a favourite cartoon tacked up in my office. In it a man is standing behind his young daughter as she sits on a swing. About to pull her back for her first ride, he offers this advice “You can say anything you want, or you can say nothing, but most people say ‘Wheeeeee!!!’” I like that philosophy. I make it a point to try and find something to say “Wheeeee!!!” about every day, even if it means walking over to the school and try- ing out the swing for a while. Some days, of course, are harder than others to find a “Wheeee!!!” moment in. Those days when my bank balance looks more like bi- nary code than a financial statement, when my credit card bill has to be delivered on a flatbed and when it seems that the last time my agent called me I had a rotary phone. Still, thankfully, even dur- ing my bleakest periods there is usually something to “Wheeee!!!” over: watch- ing my wife get dressed, the smell of coffee, a dog’s head in my lap, an unlooked for and voluntary hug from a child, cold chocolate milk, cookies, watching my wife get undressed. In fact, a good thing to do on those apocalyptic days, days when Job wouldn’t trade gigs with you, is to sit qui- etly somewhere and do a little “blessing” inventory. This can be difficult at first, but stay with it and I guar- antee, with a little patience, good stuff will start occurring to you. Even when I was laid out with cancer, my tired veins crammed full of chemicals you wouldn’t spray on a cock- roach, I still had the breeze on my face and the dancing shadows of the leaves on the carpet. I had books and stories and when my eyes grew too tired to read I had music and when even my ears grew weary, I had silence. There is always something. Some people call this the art of appreciation, some call it perspective. I have started calling it “Looking for the Wheeee!!!” And I’ve come to realize how essential it is to not only enduring, but enjoying our time here. There’s much more phi- losophy in that little cartoon than meets the eye. As the father says to his little girl, “You can say any- thing you want, or you can say nothing...” The wonderful thing about being sentient is that we al- ways have a choice. Is the glass half full or half empty? Are things getting better or worse? Do you want fries with that? How our lives turn out and what shows up in them has everything to do with how we feel about being here. If we believe that life is a struggle, that it is something to be tolerated, that we are born into guilt and fear and strife, then that is what we will have. But if we consider this world our playground and those people who come into our lives our playmates, then it seems to me we will enjoy the ride a heck of a lot more. Climb on up into that swing and ask yourself, are you look- ing for the “Wheeee!!!” or are you stuck with the “Whoa!!!”? Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

While the garbage stay-of-execution reached between the Mc- Guinty Liberals and Michigan’s two U.S. senators buys the GTA time to find trash alternatives, it doesn’t mean our troubles are over. After all, when it comes to long-term planning for our refuse a span of less than four years is not much time indeed. For decades we have dithered over what to do as landfills inevi- tably ran out of space and the option of sending our trash to the Adams Mine in Northern Ontario was dismissed. We finally found a willing host in Michigan but recent demands by Michigan legis- lators that the border be closed to Canadian garbage have meant we must discover a made-in-Ontario solution. At the very least we’ve already made some strides by incorpo- rating the green bin program across the entire region and drasti- cally reducing the amount of garbage we send to landfill. We have to continue to find ways to green bin and blue box more material so we cut down on the amount of excess waste we have to deal with. Still, there will be a significant amount of detritus that requires an answer. That will undoubtedly lead us to the concept of incineration which Halton Region has decided to go ahead with. Halton will build a large incinerator, to open in 2009, which just beats the Michigan deadline. Durham and York are also at work on an incineration option and it’s clear, given the deadlines and what is at stake, that we must act quickly to find a solution for the more than 1.5 million people who live in the two regions. A field-trip to three European sites which have long practised waste-to-energy incineration this past spring was revealing and showed those who attended that the technology is safe, practical and something that Ontario can easily adapt. Time is of the essence. All the proper approvals will be needed and they are never a quick process. But we have reached the point where it just doesn’t make sense nor is it the best answer for the environment to truck tonnes of garbage hundreds of kilometres away to dispose of it. We need to find our own long-term solution that provides answers to our waste dilemma. Young people know right from wrong To the editor: Re: Aug. 27 ‘Keep young kids out of court’ editorial. The social services system and a “stern talking to” by their parents may be effective if a young person has commit- ted a petty crime or misde- meanor. However, when a young person under the age of 12 has committed a serious crime, or when they are repeat of- fenders, then it’s time that the issue is dealt with in a more serious manner, such as being brought before a judge. That prospect in itself could well serve as a deterrent, coupled with some meaningful pun- ishment. Ten- and 11-year-old chil- dren are well aware of what is right and wrong, and they need to understand that there are serious consequences when they commit a serious crime. All too often young per- sons who commit crimes ma- ture into adults who commit more serious crimes, because the matter was never dealt with in a serious or meaning- ful manner. A “stern talking to” by the parents is not enough in such cases. Money should not be the primary factor in determin- ing what is best. The prima- ry factors should be how to protect society, how to deter young people from commit- ting crimes, and how to reha- bilitate them. Renate Roy Ajax Do the right thing and compost, recycle To the editor: Re: Composting and recy- cling. I can’t believe all this fuss about the recycling program. Residents should be ec- static that mountains of waste are now being composted and recycled instead of going to landfills. Don’t people get it? Landfill sites are getting scarce and we are paying to have the garbage shipped out of town. There certainly can be improve- ments in packaging, grocery bags, etc., but at least we have a great start with this program to help clean up our environ- ment. It only takes a few extra minutes a day to do the right thing. How can people still have the same amount of garbage bags if they are recycling and composting? They should have considerably less. The complaints seem to re- volve around taxes, time, bio- degradable bags and storage. We need to look beyond today’s little inconveniences and look at the big picture -- a clean, healthy environment. Let’s do our best and do our part at home and also put pressure on manufacturers and the food industry to elim- inate excessive and harmful packaging. We are fortunate to live in a region with beautiful areas that we should treasure and keep unspoiled for centuries to come.

Ms. Constable was playing a new fi ve cent jumbo slotto progressive machine at the Great Blue Heron on Saturday August 26, 2006. This particular machine is a recent addi- tion to the slot fl oor and has only been available at the Great Blue Heron for a couple of months. It appears to be a “winner” as this is the 2nd substantial jackpot won on this particular machine. Back in July another patron was the lucky recipient of a $53,000 jackpot from this same machine. Patricia lives across Lake Scugog in Janetville, Ontario. This win had Ms. Constable very excited as her husband has recently retired and she is won- dering if perhaps she can now consider a slightly earlier retirement than anticipated for herself as well. The Great Blue Heron Charity Casino opened on January 31st, 1997 and since open- ing has attracted more than 8 million visitors. The Great Blue Heron Charity Casino is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and features 535 slot machines and 60 table games. The facility is located just East of Port Perry less than one hour Northeast of Metropolitan Toronto, and an easy 30-40 min- ute drive from Markham, Oshawa, Ajax, Pickering, Peterborough and Lindsay.

When all seemed its bleakest, a last-ditch phone conversation with Ed Gosek, the head coach of the Oswego State (Oswego, New York) College Lakers, put a sequence of events in motion that would give Dormiedy his long-sought-after U.S. scholarship. Gosek had lost one of his senior forwards to an academic violation and, as a consequence, had one roster spot open. He had known about Dormiedy previously, but had already signed two rookies and didn’t have room for another. Dormiedy says an adviser with the Eagles, Brent Grieve, gave him the phone number. And, after a conversation and a visit, his post-junior hockey plans were finalized. “It was a miracle that I fell into this situation,” says Dormiedy, the captain and four-year player with the Bowmanville Eagles of the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League. “I went down there and fell in love with the place. “After all the bad luck I had this year and the year before someone must have felt sorry for me, I guess.” In fact, Dormiedy thought he would be left out in the cold again in terms of a scholarship. The 21-year-old thought he had a scholarship nailed down to a university in the Chicago area after the 2004-05 junior ‘A’ hockey season. But, a new rule within the school’s administration had sealed his fate -- the scholarship had been revoked and there would be no hockey home in the states. So, upon hearing the bad news, he resigned himself to returning to Bowmanville, put in the necessary work to have a solid season in the hopes of resuscitating his dream of earning a U.S. scholarship after the 2005-06 campaign. And, the 6-foot, 178-lb. forward kept up his end of the bargain, finishing the season with 44 points (16 goals, 28 assists) and leading the team to a first place in the league’s East Conference. In the playoffs, Dormiedy responded similarly, with 17 points in 18 post-season games, leading the Eagles to the Conference championship, with the team later bowing out to the St. Michael’s Buzzers in the league semifinals. While Dormiedy is relieved to be headed state- side, he acknowledges the work has just begun. The Oswego State Lakers, which plays in the NCAA Division III State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC), is a senior-laden team, meaning his work is cut out for him in order to get playing time. “I’m going to have to fight for my spot in the lineup. I’m going to have to fight every night for it,” says Dormiedy. “I’m one of three freshmen going in and they’re a really senior team, so it’s going to be a challenge. (The coach) told me they don’t promise anyone ice time.” Although he’s glad to move on to a new hockey home, Dormiedy says he’s grateful for his time spent in Bowmanville with the Eagles. He notes this past season represented the best collection of players he’s every played with. “The guys gelled so well. I was fortunate enough to be the captain during a really fun year,” he says. “You couldn’t ask for better coaching and training staff. Bowmanville was like a family.” Dormiedy notes he won’t begin training camp with Oswego State until Oct. 1. But, before than, he’ll be part of ad hoc practice sessions arranged by the Laker captains without coaches. He’ll major in business at Oswego State, with a minor in music, as he plays solo acoustic guitar. NOTES: Dormiedy was named as the most gentlemanly player in the OPJHL’s East Confer- ence last season. In 45 games played last season, Dormiedy accumulated only nine penalty min- utes... Dormiedy was one of eight players with the Eagles to earn scholarships off the 2005-06 squad. Dormiedy breaths sigh of relief A.J.

Volleyball club can help young girls get started in game DURHAM — The Durham Attack Volleyball Club is gearing up for its 2006/07 campaign by launching a new program designed to get girls in the game. The Attack’s new SPIKES program is designed for girls ages seven to 12, and will serve as a perfect lead-in to the club’s house league play. SPIKES is an Ontario Volleyball Association-sponsored pro- gram designed to teach volleyball to the starting player. The program is a first in Durham Region. According to Janet Cairns, the Attack’s director of the girls’ programs, the SPIKES program was an attempt to return to the roots of the sport within the club. “As we plan for competitive team tryouts in Sep- tember, we are equally excited about the new pro- grams we will be offering,” says Cairns. “We have had incredible success this past season, and it has caused us to think about our roots. Ultimately the success of our club is due to the ability and passion of our coaches, and their ability to instill a love for volleyball in our players at a young age. ‘Volleyball is one of the most popular sports in the world, and is growing by leaps and bounds. We are seeing more and more interest in playing, with hundreds of players in our summer camps and in our house league’ Scott Burrows As we have thought about this, we’ve decided we want to give more back to the community, especially to new and developing players, as this is where it all starts.” The SPIKES program is expected to launch in mid-September. Also set to start in mid-September is the boys’ house league program. The Attack’s Volleyball Can- ada award-winning recreational program teaches skills and love for the sport, building players who can progress to competitive teams. Instructed by dedicated coaches and national-calibre players, it offers a great environment for developing skill in a sport that is truly fun to play. Scott Burrows, the club’s president and director of the boys’ program, notes the club has grown not only in its boys’ program, but in all the programs it offers. “Volleyball is one of the most popular sports in the world, and is growing by leaps and bounds. We are seeing more and more interest in playing, with hundreds of players in our summer camps and in our house league. We are unique in Ontario in that we cover the complete spectrum,” says Burrows. Meanwhile, the Attack’s competitive teams are designed to accommodate players at various skill levels, ranging from new competitive volleyball players, to seasoned players wishing to compete at higher levels. The Attack’s goal is to provide teams for all levels of competitive players. Over the years, the club has produced regional, provincial and national team members, and the club’s alumni have played at universities in Canada and the U.S. The Attack completed its most successful season ever, with hundreds of players attending its house league and summer camps. The Attack girls’ teams finished top three in Ontario in every age group and won five of seven Provincial championships and four national championships. Numerous At- tack players were awarded spots on provincial and national teams. The Attack’s competitive team tryouts, for boys and girls ages 13 to 18, start Sept. 7. Tryout sched- ules will be posted online. Meanwhile, the Attack girls’ house league, for ages 10 through 17, will start in January 2007.

Boys’ under-10 team Central East Soccer League champs AJAX — The Ajax Thunder boys’ under-10 soccer team three-peated as Central East Soccer League Cup champions after blowing past Scarborough Blizzard Blue 2-0 in the Cup final in Uxbridge last Sunday. Marcus Hudson and Ben Donnelly were nearly impenetrable on defence as they thwarted any Scarborough incursions into the Ajax zone. Mean- while, forward Javon Brown was at the top of his game in the final. Tristan Caulfield and Brown scored for the Thunder in the final. Goalkeeper Daniel Milton recorded the shutout. In the semifinal contest, the Thunder extin- guished the previously undefeated Olympic Flame 3-1 to give them a chance to vie for a third straight Cup title. The Flame scored first, but with 10 minutes left in the game, the Thunder finally got rolling with three straight goals by Caulfield, Brown, and Jus- tice Warner-Johnson. In the quarter-final on Saturday, the Ajax Thun- der defeated another previously undefeated team, the Pickering Predators, 4-3. Brown scored two quick and dazzling goals for Ajax to start the game, while Malek Terry and Donnelly added to the score. The CESL Cup championship was the culmina- tion of a season’s worth of hard work the Thunder had put into the season. The team entered the championship tourna- ment with a lone loss this season. The Ajax squad is also poised to clinch its division title, also for a third consecutive time. Exceptional plays were made throughout the tournament by Andrew Leroux, Isaiah Passley, Isaiah Wilson, Jeremy Williams, and Elijah Steven. Andrei Pogan was unable to play in the Cup tournament. Justin Terry coaches the team, assisted by John Milton.

By Marva Palmer Special to the News Advertiser AJAX -- If Darin Wesley Gosling hadn’t fallen in love nine years ago, he might not have started writing poetry, and his book of poems ‘An- gelic Verses’, might not have been published. “I fell in love with a woman and decided to write about things, ob- servations and emotions, I had with her. And that’s where it started,” the 28-year-old Ajax man said in a recent interview. The woman who inspired him to start writing poetry is now just a casual friend. After their break-up, Gosling said he went on a hiatus for a few years, fell in love again and re- sumed writing. ‘A ngelic Verses’ contains poems written over a five-year period. Gos- ling said the entire book is not a col- lection of love poems, but 42 of the 84 pages are. The rest are fantasy and current events. The love poems are not all in the vein of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s ‘Sonnets from the Portuguese’. Two of them, ‘Maximum Love’ and ‘De- struction of One’ were penned after his second love simply left without saying goodbye, officially ending their relationship. “‘Maximum Love’ is basically my feelings about what happened and how my love for her dissipated . . . how upset and how angry I was with her. ‘Destruction of One’ is about her and how I viewed . . . that she destroyed herself before she left.” The two poems are sequential and writing them was therapeutic, he added. “It’s more an illustration of how I felt at the time, not an illustration of how I feel now. I have written about hurt, anguish, different things.” Among the anguish he’s crafted into poetry was his emotional pain after the death of his father. They were very close. Three of those poems are included in the book. Gosling said he is most influenced by the 19th century American poet, Edgar Allan Poe. “I don’t like the poem but I like the imagery that Poe used in ’The Raven’. ” “If you know what you you’re try- ing to get across when you’re writ- ing the poem, that would create the speed writing as opposed to just sit- ting down with a pen and wondering what to write next.” Gosling said having his book pub- lished is a definite accomplishment. His second book is now with his publisher’s editor. ‘Angelic Verses’ was published in July 2006 by Publish America. The book is available via the Internet at Chapters.Indigo.ca and at Amazon. com.

THIS WEEK’S REVIEW PAPP’S 1755 Pickering Parkway, Pickering Casual If you’re looking for great quality food at a reasonable price, then your search is over. Tucked away in the Pickering Home and Leisure Centre (now known as the Pickering Annex) is Papps Restaurant. Papps has been serving up delicious dishes for over 40 years. Their magnifi cent menu has something for everyone. From salads and sandwiches, like their famous “Steak on a Kaiser” to endless entrée choices featur- ing pastas, hand-cut steaks and seafood. And you defi nitely have to try one of their gourmet thin crust pizzas, I personally rec- ommend the “BBQ Magic”. At Papps, you don’t have to sacrifi ce nutri- tion. Papps’ two new head chefs are cook- ing up creations that will tantalize your taste buds while keeping your waistline in mind. Adding nutritious features such as Poached Atlantic Salmon and Spinach Salad, Medi- terranean Rice Pasta and Olympic Flank Steak Dinner, all conveniently marked as “Phil’s Low Carb Choice”. But sometimes, you need to indulge and the only proper way to do that is by ordering the famous home- made Coconut Cream Pie, it’s absolutely heavenly. With the warm weather upon us, it’s the perfect opportunity to visit Papps’ fabulous 80-seat patio, perfect for cocktails and a light snack. Or dine in their open-concept restaurant where you are a stranger, only once.SummerSummerTo advertise in this special feature, please call 905-683-5110 ext. 228 Bringing it up a notch ~Gourmet Pizza & Pasta ~~ Gourmet Pizza & Pasta ~ ~Early Bird Specials ~~ Early Bird Specials ~ ~LargeWine Selection ~~ Large Wine Selection ~ ~Patio ~~ Patio ~ Chris & Basil Invite you to drop in! 1755 Pickering Pkwy. 905-427-3403 Advertising Feature LOADED BACKPACK Back to School Contest!

Durham Girls’ Choir brings home third prize from Austrian festival DURHAM —T he Durham Girls’ Choir came home from a successful European tour with a third place in a music festival. The choir was pleased with its perfor- mance at the 35th International Youth and Music Festival in Vienna. The girls competed against choirs, ranging from children’s to university, from countries such as Ukraine, Greece, Germany and South Africa. They choir performed its two com- petitive, German-language pieces by Buxtehude and Reger and also sang Canadian works, including those by Stephen Hatfield and Eleanor Daly. The tour of Austria and the Czech Republic included singing in churches dating back to the 11th century, see- ing many of the sights and sounds of Mozart’s birthplace and sites filmed in The Sound of Music in Salzberg and watching a marionette opera in the Czech Republic. Choir director Mary Jane Coradetti said the choir proudly represented Durham and Canada in the festival, where the girls had lots of chances to meet young people from around the world. The choir is now preparing for its 2006-2007 season. Girls between the ages of nine and 17 who are interested in joining are asked to call Lynn Barre- Van Ness at 905-404-9227.

PAGE B8 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ September 6, 2006A Katrina documentary draining, compelling When The Levees Broke Directed by Spike Lee At Film Festival and on HBO/ The Movie Network ***** Currently playing on The Movie Network and about to be showcased at the 31st annual Toronto International Film Festival, Spike Lee’s overwhelm- ing documentary When the Levees Broke explores the events leading up to and the horrific aftermath of Hu rricane Katrina’s assault on New Orleans one year ago. Like many who watched the events unfolding on CNN and many other news outlets, director-writer Spike Lee was shocked not only by the destruction and scale of the disaster but by the slow response of the government to send aid. Lee was motivated to create this stunning documentary that mixes footage of the disaster with interviews of the survivors both at the time and months later. I cannot imagine another documentary this year being as powerful as When the Levees Broke, which is simply astounding in its raw and visceral power. The images of surging water run rampant throughout the film as water becomes an angry then almost benign character. The startling images of entire homes covered in water, people sit- ting on the roofs of houses awaiting rescue, and the constant looks of anguish on the faces of the survi- vors make clear the overall impact of this disaster. It is the red-rimmed eyes I will remember stron- gest. Many of the people interviewed at the time had been awake several hours, been weeping almost non-stop and a number had watched as loved ones had been pulled away by the stunning power of the water. Their pain is evident in every frame of this remarkable film. The hurt in their eyes when they wonder aloud: Where was the rest of their country when this was going on? Was President Bush not watching New Orleans? More than any other aspect of this national trag- edy, Lee captures the humanity the people had for one another. The understanding of the inner agonies they were suffering, the emotional duress, and through all of that, the incredible power of the human spirit which tells each one of them to keep going and survive. At four hours, When the Levees Broke is a long emotional film that will drain you upon viewing. Yet it is oddly compelling, searing in its power, and honest in its bold depiction of one of the most cata- strophic events of the last 100 years. John Foote, director of the Toronto Film School, is a nationally known film historian/critic and a Port Perry resident.

Read what they have to say Wade Bissell, who has a condo in Ajax, chose Superior Bath Reno after before you choose your bathroom renovation supplier: Catherine Stewart of Ajax, who hired Superior Bath Reno to convert a large basement closet into a three-piece bathroom, said she enjoyed working with Joe Beninato, President of Superior Bath Reno. “I liked Joe,” says Ms. Stewart, “and I liked even more the price he gave me for our bathroom!” John Gutsell, who ordered a complete bathroom makeover for his home in Ajax, said Superior Bath Reno was more attentive than competing suppliers. “They were polite and took the time to listen to what we needed,” he said. Visit the showroom of Superior Bath Reno, located at 31 Barr Rd., Unit #4, Ajax, Ontario. he visited the company’s showroom and met Shelley Webb, one of the partners in the company. “I really enjoyed speaking with Shelley,” says Mr. Bissell. “She was so down-to-earth and easy going.” Once the installation began, he noticed the workmanship of the installer, Sam Martin, one of the founding partners of Superior Bath Reno. “I noticed, for example, that he didn’t put dry wall behind the shower wall – he put in concrete board. You could see he used quality materials and knew what he was doing.” The fi nished job was so impressive Mr. Bissell showed it to his friends. “They immediately noticed the quality of the workmanship and the fi xtures,” he recalls. Mr. Bissell fi nishes with the ultimate compliment – “when I get my kitchen renovated, I’m calling Superior Bath Reno.” Yes, Superior Bath Reno also does kitchen renovations – and has a kitchen model in its showroom. For more information, contact Superior Bath Reno by phone 905-426-1714 or email info@superiorbath.ca, or visit our showroom at 31 Barr Rd., Unit #4, Ajax, Ontario. TO ADVERTISE IN HOME SWEET HOME CALL CHRISTIAN-ANN AT 905-683-5110 Cozy-up with a fl ick of a switch (NC)-Take a cozy fi re, family or close friends, and any home becomes a warmer place to settle in. The right fi replace transforms a room, creating an ambience that welcomes and comforts.

A natural gas fi replace takes the hassle away from burning a fi re and lets you simply enjoy the experience. A fl ick of the switch and your fi replace is ready to be enjoyed. It’s never too hot because you set the temperature and it’s less expensive to operate than either a wood or electric fi replace. Natural gas fi replaces are safe and easy to use and nothing warms up a hard to heat room as effi ciently or beautifully. Should the power fail during a harsh winter storm, no worry for you because your natural gas fi replace can operate without the use of electricity. Your local fi replace retailer can give you an estimate on installing a natural gas fi replace in your home or visit uniongas.com for more information.

An Alternative To Public Education Grades 7-12 DURHAM SECONDARY A cademy & Middle School 905.426.4254 520 Westney Road. South, Ajax, Ontario www.durhamsecondary.com SUCCESS B UILDS SUCCESSFounded in 1997, Durham Secondary Academy & Middle School offers students, grades 7-12, the opportunity to improve their marks and reach their goals they may have thought were unattainable. Operating four ten-week semesters during the school year, students can enter programs mid-stream in September, November, February and April. The school also offers summer school in July. DSA is a small school, focusing on academics. A low student/teacher ratio of 1:8 enables lots of one-on-one time between teacher and student. The school’s faculty are selected for their teaching abilities, their academic training and life experience, their capacity for concern and understanding and their commitment to the philosophy of the school.
