City Clerk Debi Bentley said the exact figures are being compiled in advance of a report to go to council Oct. 3. But, according to a report to Clarington council, on one occa- sion alone 104 City of Pickering parking tickets had be withdrawn because a justice of the peace (JP) was not available for trials. Ms. Bentley said several kinds of tickets are affected. “They could be bylaw, they could be parking,” she said. “The majority are parking.” With the tickets being lost and unable to be pursued further, it also means a lot of staff hours are being wasted. “It is certainly time and effort we’ve put in to prepare the in- formation for the justice of the peace,” Ms. Bentley said. In areas of bylaw infractions, such as failing to cut long grass or to clear snow under the property standards bylaw, staff is trying to use other avenues so it doesn’t have to come to a ticket. “We try to work with the hom- eowners before charging them.” One alternative available to mu- nicipalities under legislation is to do the required work and bill the owners. Justice of the Peace shortage costs City By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Those looking for a breath of fresh air from the Con- servatives on the Pickering airport front have faced disappointment after disappointment this month. In response to a letter from Transport Minister Lawrence Can- non confirming there would be no public input into the due diligence review of the Greater To- ronto Airports Authority’s plan for an airport in Pickering, Stephen Fred- erick expressed his disap- pointment. “Previously I was en- couraged because (Mr. Cannon) has a back- ground in transporta- tion,” said the president of Voters Organized to Cancel the Airport Lands (VOCAL), explaining he was opti- mistic when Mr. Cannon was first appointed to cabinet. He added Mr. Cannon is handling the issue the same way it has been for 30 years and not listening to what voters want. “The Conservatives are not the breath of fresh air everyone was looking for,” Mr. Frederick said. “It’s incumbent on the Conservatives to consult with the community if they want to show us they are different and they represent us.” The letter was sent to Ajax- Pickering MP Mark Holland on Aug. 31 in response to a May 3 letter he sent to the minister. “Transport Canada is conduct- ing a due diligence process, which is a review of planning studies re- lated to a potential future airport at Pickering with technical experts...Public repre- sentatives with technical expertise in each of these three topics will also be invited to participate... Once the due diligence review is complete, the department will brief stakeholders and the interested public, and Transport Canada will make its findings public,” read the letter. Mr. Frederick was not pleased to read that. “I’m certainly disappointed in the scope of Mr. Cannon’s review. First and foremost, it’s a whitewash,” he said, adding the letter references the language that has been used for years to talk about the lands and JUST EXPERIMENTING Jennifer Roberts / News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Six-year-old Ryan Smyth and sisters Lauren Smyth, 4, and Julia Smyth, 8, perform science experiments at the recent Pickering Recreation Complex Anniversary and Customer Appreciation Day.

Through a resolution pre- sented at the Sept. 13 meet- ing of Durham Regional Council, Oshawa councillors urged the Region to take im- mediate action to construct, fund and staff a community policing centre in north Os- hawa. “The north part of Oshawa cannot be ignored any lon- ger,” Oshawa councillor John Neal said. “There should be something done in the north of Oshawa in regards to traffic and all the stuff that goes on in a growing community.” North Oshawa has experi- enced an increase in calls to the police due to increasing growth rates, higher residen- tial and commercial densities and the proximity to Durham College and the University of To ronto Institute of Technol- ogy, according to the resolu- tion. Oshawa Mayor John Gray, in an interview, said the need for a community police sta- tion in the north has been on the city’s radar for some time. “A community police sta- tion would have a very calm- ing and stabilizing influence there,” he said. The City offered space in the Legends Centre, the Northview Library and at a co-operative housing unit, but the police refused them. “These policing issues boil down to finance committee and the decision of council,” Mayor Gray said. “Policing issues are huge; budgetary pressures are huge. We have to weigh tax increases to safe- ty. “What we have to under- stand about community po- lice stations is they do offer a police presence,” he said. His preference is to have more police on the street and responding to calls, But, a community police station in the north would also be of benefit. “My hope is that next year we can see an allocation of more police officers,” Mayor Gray said. Regional chairman Roger Anderson told council the resolution took up a fair amount of debate at the po- lice services board on Sept. 11. He later explained that storefront operations are well-liked by the police and the community but are ex- pensive to run, so the police need to plan where to place them. “You have to make sure you have a plan and a vi- sion to implement them,” Mr. Anderson said. “But, just be- cause you have a plan doesn’t mean you have the money.” Community policing has been shown to reduce crime and increase public safety. Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor said that to say Uxbridge needs a stron- ger police presence is an un- derstatement. “I know all of us could use more policing,” Mayor O’Connor said. “But, the re- ality check of this is the cost and I think people have to understand that.” Although Mayor O’Connor said she has some concerns about crime, petty or other- wise, in Uxbridge, she said the southern municipalities might need the help more. Pickering currently has a storefront community police office. “As the community grows we recognize the need for another,” Mayor Dave Ryan said. “And I am talking spe- cifically about Seaton.” The resolution was de- ferred until the next meeting so that police can attend to answer any questions from councillors. %MERGENCY #RITICAL #ARE .URSES 2OUGE 6ALLEYS BUSY %MERGENCY $EPARTMENTS #ARDIAC #ATHETERIZATION ,AB #ORONARY #ARE 5NIT )NTENSIVE #ARE 5NITS AND #ORPORATE 2ELIEF 0OOL HAVE IMMEDIATE OPENINGS FOR 2EGISTERED NURSES WITH EXCELLENT QUALIlCATIONS 7E ARE SEEKING COMMITTED PROFESSIONALS WITH CURRENT #./ CERTIlCATION AND 0!,3 "#,3!#,3 AND %MERGENCY OR #RITICAL #ARE CERTIlCATION WHO ARE INTERESTED IN WORKING IN A DYNAMIC STIMULATING ENVIRONMENT 7E HAVE THE FOLLOWING OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE %-%2'%.#9 04 &4 4EMP &4 AND 4EMP 04 #/2/.!29 #!2% 5.)4 4EMP &4 AND 4EMP 04 #!4( ,!" 04 )#5 04 2%,)%& 0//, &4 &OR FURTHER INFORMATION OR TO APPLY FOR ANY OF THESE POSITIONS PLEASE CALL EXT VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT WWWROUGEVALLEYCA OR EMAIL HR ROUGEVALLEYCA #2)4)#!, #!2% /0%.

The Whitby court is part of the Central East Region. The region would ideally be serviced by a minimum of 54 JPs, but there are currently only 43, of which one was hired in June and two more were an- nounced at the end of August. With a training period of one year, those people won’t be available until next summer at the earliest. The Prov- ince is working to deal with the matter, said Brendan Crawley, of the Attorney General’s office. Since current Attorney General Michael Bryant came to of- fice, 40 full-time JPs have been put in place. As well, a review is being conducted about both the way JPs are appointed and the qualifications necessary to hold the position, said Mr. Crawley. “The other important part to re- member is that the assignment and scheduling of JPs is at the discretion of the judiciary, done independent of the government,” he said. That means, often JPs are assigned “where the need is greatest, and that’s often criminal court,” he noted. - With files from Jennifer Stone Central East Region short 11 justices of the peace from ideal number of 54 ✦ Central from page 1 Contact: Durham Health Connection Line 905-666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729 ext. 3241 Contact:Durham Health Connection Line 905-666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729 ext.3241 HEALTH DEPARTMENT WORKS DEPARTMENT TOWNSHIP OF BROCK Durham Region ATV Safety Coalition FREE!FREE!

The man, who was arrested by Durham fraud cops when he showed up for an appoint- ment with his probation of- ficer in Newmarket Friday morning, possessed cards bearing what police believe to be stolen bank data, De- tective Constable Jeff Caplan said. The suspect, a Russian na- tional who has not obtained Canadian citizenship, is cur- rently on house arrest in York Region. “He’s serving an 18-month conditional sentence for fraud-related offences,” Det. Const. Caplan said. Durham police launched an investigation this summer when concerns were raised about the man, who worked briefly at a gas bar on Simcoe Street North. Police said the man applied for a job at the station in May, underwent training and was entrusted to run the gas bar alone by mid- June. It was during a three-day period -- June 14 to 16 -- that someone used skimming equipment to steal informa- tion from customers’ debit and credit cards, police said. That information can be transferred to bogus cards which are used to make pur- chases and cash withdrawals on victims’ accounts. After June 16 the worker, who had given his employer a stolen Social Insurance Number and tendered a counterfeit Ontario driver’s licence bear- ing the name Sergey Torfi- mov, vanished.It was infor- mation from another police force that led to Friday’s ar- rest, Det. Const. Caplan said. Police said the suspect, who showed up for his ap- pointment Friday morning in a 2006 BMW, had in his possession three counterfeit cards containing account in- formation from banks. Inves- tigators are checking to see if accounts were breached. They’re also tracking down other gas bars at which the suspect may have worked. Sergeui Kokoouline, 39, of the 17th Sideroad in King City, faces 16 charges, includ- ing fraud over $5,000, unlaw- ful possession of credit card data, theft, and breach of a conditional sentence. nothing has changed. Mr. Frederick is also upset that there was no commit- ment to look at the gover- nance issue in terms of air- ports in southern Ontario. Mr. Holland said he is hearing a lot of disappoint- ment from the community. He worked hard last year to lobby former Liberal trans- port minister Jean Lapierre for the review and he isn’t happy about the way it is being handled. “Now, not only have we confirmed there is no pub- lic input, but they are only looking at existing studies. It is essentially the death of the peer review,” Mr. Holland said, adding he was disap- pointed, but not surprised. In his May 3 letter, Mr. Holland wrote to discuss his disappointment “to learn that there will be no general public consultation either in setting the terms of reference for the review or during the review itself” and other air- port-related issues. Opponents of the GTAA’s plan to build an airport in Pickering were hit with an- other blow when the House of Commons resumed sitting Mr. Cannon responded to a formal question Mr. Hol- land had submitted, say- ing the terms of reference haven’t been finalized yet – a year after the review was an- nounced. “The Transport Minister is now saying he hasn’t final- ized the terms of reference for the due diligence review of the need for an airport,” Mr. Holland said. “We under- stood the review was ready to begin before the new govern- ment came in. We saw this as a victory when it was an- nounced in September 2005. It now looks like they’ve put the brakes to it, and I’m afraid they’re manipulating the review to give them the answer they want.” Transport Canada was un- able to give a time frame of when the review would be completed. VOCAL will be contacting not only Mr. Cannon to make him aware of their concerns, but also Durham cabinet ministers Jim Flaherty and Bev Oda. Mr. Holland said his next step is to take the case to the minister one last time and wait for the reply on some freedom of information re- quests his office has made. He said he plans to hold a public meeting in the near future. To read Mr. Cannon’s letter or his response, visit Mr. Holland’s website at www.markholland.ca. Holland plans town hall meeting ✦ Holland from page 1 durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 24, 2006 EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Af ghan mission is Canada’s promise Prime Minister Stephen Harper stood tall and spoke strongly Thursday at the United Nations about Canada’s role in Afghanistan. He looked squarely at a galaxy of world leaders and made it clear to all that, as part of a NATO multi-national force and, at the invitation of the government of Afghanistan, Canada would continue to be involved in the mission there. Despite an upsurge in Canadian casualties among our 2,500- member force in the Kandahar region of the troubled country, Canada will not “cut and run.” In fact, it’s likely we will answer the call to increase our commitment over the next little while. While there have been calls from some in Parliament for a debate on the mission and a pull-out of our troops, Mr. Harper is right to stay the course and strongly defend the mission. It should be remembered the initial decision to take part in the rebuilding of Afghanistan and the battle with Taliban ex- tremists was made by former Prime Minister Paul Martin and his Liberal government in the spring of 2005. Long before Mr. Harper took power in February of this year, our troop size and deployment was decided. In fact, before the 2006 federal elec- tion, our troops were on their way overseas. We made a commit- ment to serve at least until February 2007. Afghan president Hamid Karzai was at the UN to hear Mr. Harper’s speech and he addressed Parliament on Friday. His message is simple: Afghanistan needs Canadian troops to re- build and to defend against the repressive Taliban regime. The issue was debated in Parliament last spring when House of Commons members were asked to vote on whether Canada would extend its mission for two years past our withdrawal date of February 2007. The extension of the mission received major- ity support and we are committed until February 2009. As a result, Canada must stay the course and commit to making Afghanistan a safe, democratic society. That’s what we signed on for and what we have promised to do. Certainly, in the run-up leading to whether we will extend past 2009, we should have a frank and open discussion about the merits of the mis- sion. But, for now, we need to move on to other topics and stick to our international promises. Single mom surprised by bargains To the editor: Re: Choosing threads for back to school, Sept. 10. I was very intrigued by reporter Crystal Crimi’s account of a Grade 9 student’s (Malissa) back-to-school shopping spree. I quote: “the newly purchased Grade 9 wardrobe includes a different style or colour of jeans for each day of the week, a pair of cords, a sweater, some... shirts, various T-shirts, and a new pair of shoes. The total cost for the new clothes was under $200.” Wow. I want to know where Malissa shops. Her mother must be a terrific bargain hunter or this is a typo. I went back-to-school shopping with my 13-year-old son last week and we came out of American Eagle at the Oshawa Centre with two pairs of jeans and one T-shirt that cost me $155. I am mystified by your description of what this family man- aged to get for “under two hundred dollars.” If I could get a wardrobe like Malissa’s for under $200, back to school shopping for my two teens would be, as it is for Malissa, a favourite activity. As a single parent, the reality is that this time of year is something I dread. Susan Holmes Oshawa Editor’s note: Malissa’s mother was able to make her purchases at a number of different stores.

I n a corporate world where the bot- tom line is king, it is refreshing to hear about a company that has not only achieved immense financial suc- cess, but has also managed to retain the respect of its employees. When researching my feature on Minacs Worldwide’s 25th anniversary, I spoke with those who have worked at the company for more than 10 years. I was struck by the pride and loyalty displayed by those employees when discussing their workplace. “I have a certain sense of loyalty to this company that I don’t think will ever go away,” said Natalie Curwin, a 10-year employee at Minacs. It is rare to see a corporate environ- ment evoke such emotion. Many of us like our jobs -- some of us lucky folks even love what we do -- but I imagine few who work in an office with more than 20 employees can claim a sense of such loyalty to a company whose main goal is to make money. But it is a smart corporation that understands the importance of people power. After all, it costs valuable time and money to train people to do the job. Therefore, a greater turnover rate means higher costs. And with the population getting older and labour shortages increasing, those companies who can retain their work- force will be the ones who succeed. A recent report conducted by Hewitt Associates found 75 per cent of Ca- nadian companies are having trouble finding and retaining employees. More than half of the companies sur- veyed said arrangements such as flex- ible hours and benefits will have the most positive impact in helping to at- tract and keep strong staff. But the study also warned about suc- cumbing to the pressure of offering employee incentives beyond the com- pany’s financial capabilities. “Employers need to balance their need to have the right talent with the reality of their financial situation,” the report said. With 25 years of sustained growth and a resounding vote of approval from its employees, I applaud Minacs for finding the right balance.

The truth is out and now everyone knows it is north- ern 905ers who have the slowest commute into the city. In the Saturn Challenge last Thursday morning, three vehicles set out from 60 kilometres north, west, and east of downtown To- ronto. After one hour and 37 minutes, the bragging rights for the slowest commute were awarded to York re- gion residents, as the vehi- cle from Newmarket arrived at Dundas Square last. The three teams, consist- ing of reporters and Saturn representatives, travelled from Burlington, Whitby and Newmarket in identi- cal Saturn Vue hybrids. The goal was to arrive last and give the 905ers represented by your vehicle the bragging rights of the worst com- mute. The teams gathered at their respective locations and after a jolt of caffeine were on their way. The rules were simple. Don’t speed and stick to the assigned route. After the customary countdown the commuters were on their way. Here’s how the journey unfolded: 7:40 a.m. The passengers scope out a seat in the SUV, get comfortable, and put on their seat-belts in prepara- tion for departure. 7:45 a.m. Away we go. Well, technically this is when we were supposed to leave, but, as with every commute, we are a little late to depart (don’t worry, all the vehicles were so it was still a fair race). 7:48 a.m. The SUV makes its way out of the parking spot at Thickson Square (Thickson and Taunton Roads) and heads south on Thickson Road. 8 a.m. After several stops at red lights, we finally reach the highway. Time to see what this hybrid can do. Unfortunately, we’re greeted with brake lights. Traffic does get moving, al- beit slowly, closer to Brock Street. We reach a top speed of 60 km/h, after Brock it opens up and we get up to 90 km/h. 8:10 a.m. We fly under Harwood Avenue doing the speed limit. As we approach Pickering the highway opens up with the addition of more lanes, vehicle after vehicle carrying a solitary commuter races past us at a speed exceeding 100 km/h. 8:15 a.m. As we say goodbye to Durham Re- gion, traffic is moving well. The vehicle makes its way along Hwy. 401 through east Scarborough and we see the first MTO signs indicating traffic conditions up ahead. “Collectors moving slow, express moving slowly after next ....” reads the first one. 8:19 a.m. The sign was right. At the Morningside Av enue exit traffic slows down and then comes to a halt. 8:23 a.m. We hear over the walkie talkie the Burling- ton vehicle is at Ford Drive in Oakville - we’re going to need an accident or some heavy traffic to make it to Yo nge and Dundas after them. 8:29 a.m. We go from stop and go to 60 km/h just west of the Progress Avenue overpass, where we honk and wave to a camera op- erator from a Toronto news station. 8:34 a.m. We’re already at Warden Avenue. We travel at full speed towards the DVP south exit. 8:35 a.m. The ramp to the DVP is surprisingly empty, especially compared to the line of cars parked on the ramp to Hwy. 404 north. As we round the last turn of the ramp and join up with the cars travelling from the north we’re greeted with a sea of brake lights. With 15 kilometres left to go, maybe we will be the slow- est if this traffic holds up. That thought disappears a moment later when we hear the Newmarket SUV is about 5 km behind us, just approaching the Shep- pard Avenue exit of Hwy. 404. It would most likely re- quire the breaking of some rules and a strange series of events for it to pass us. 8:41 a.m. We were mov- ing along well and then come to another stop. To the right there is a woman who appears to be catching some zzzs on the commute as her husband drives. 8:44 a.m. There is an- other traffic condition sign overhead, “DVP moving slowly to before Millwood.” That would be helpful, if one knows where Millwood is. 8:48 a.m. Now one hour into the trip, we’re sailing by the Eglinton Avenue exit of the DVP. My legs and bum are getting sore, but at least I’m not experiencing any anxiety that comes with being the driver of a car in stop and go traffic. 8:56 a.m. The high- way leg of the journey is about to end as we take the Bayview/Bloor exit off the DVP. But, the drive doesn’t get any easier as there is a long line of cars waiting to exit onto Bloor Street. The morning has turned out to be a beautiful one with the sun shinning in a blue sky. If only it had rained, it might have affected the outcome. 8:59 a.m. We make it onto Bloor Street and are now heading west towards the final destination and media circus waiting for the SUVs across from the Eaton Centre. Update: the Burl- ington team is still on the Gardiner Expressway and only in Etobicoke and the Newmarket car is still on the DVP. Things are not looking good for Durham winning the bragging rights. We turn left onto Parliament Street and head south through Cabbagetown before mak- ing a right onto Dundas Street – we’re definitely not in Whitby any more. After making it through stop and go city traffic, we hit the only snag of the trip when we attempt to make a left onto Victoria Street only to look up and see that the manoeuvre is strictly for- bidden, so instead a quick right and then a tight U- turn is managed around some construction. The light turns green and we’re off: south on Victoria Street, west on Shuter Street. 9:13 a.m. We make the last turn of the trip and head north on Yonge. We pass the south end of the square and are waved in to take our spot. We are the first to arrive in a time of one hour, 26 minutes and 45 seconds (the clock doesn’t stop until 1:27:36 though, as we weren’t in our correct parking spot until then). We emerge after the long jour- ney and stretch our legs. Burlington arrives in sec- ond with a time of 1:36:10 while Newmarket gets the bragging rights with a close third of 1:37:21. The TTC/GO ride back to Ajax takes an hour.

Ms. French said facilitators at Hearth Place, a cancer support cen- tre in Oshawa, recommended that she be the speaker this year after being diagnosed with breast can- cer last December. In January, she underwent surgery followed by ra- diation treatment. It has been an emotionally and physically draining experience, she said, but has also been “spiritually uplifting.” Carole Keys, 57, who helped bring the Run for the Cure to Durham Region in 2000, said local figures for the run have been growing ever since. In 2005, more than 4,200 people raised approximately $600,000 for the Canadian Breast Can- cer Foundation. “It’s an inspirational event in which people of Durham Region of all ages and abilities can partici- pate,” said Ms. Keys, volunteer run director. “It’s not an athletic event. It’s primarily geared as a family event, and the funds raised are dis- tributed nationwide to support breast cancer research, education and awareness... 75 per cent of which stays in Ontario.” Last year, Ms. Keys was the recipient of the Jeannette Hawke Volunteer Recognition Award on behalf of the Ontario chapter of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation for bring- ing the run to Durham and trying to create a world without breast cancer. This year will mark her 14th straight year in the run. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1994. “We’re really fortunate in Durham with the volunteer base that we have and the people that are committed to supporting the Run for the Cure,” she said. Ms. French, meanwhile, said there’s isn’t a community in the province that doesn’t have someone battling breast cancer, and in some ways, the run is therapeutic. “I think people that do it who are survivors, the emotional impact it has on them energizes them to keep up their own fight. To me, that’s re- ally important,” she said. Durham’s Run for the Cure takes place at Lakeview Park in Oshawa. Registration starts at 8 a.m. at the Jubilee Pavilion and the run gets un- derway at 10 a.m. Participants can walk or run a 1 km or 5 km route.

Are you con- stantly on a diet but never losing weight? When you feel frustrated or disappointed with events or people — do you use food to soothe yourself? If you have answered yes to these questions, you may be an emotional eater. We are all emotional eaters to some extent. However, eating as a way to suppress or soothe negative emotions, such as stress, anger, anxi- ety, boredom, sadness and loneliness, becomes a problem when it interferes with our health and happiness. Currently, experts estimate that ap- proximately 75 per cent of overeating can be at- tributed to emotional factors. Many of us learn that food can bring comfort. It is a quick fi x, which makes us feel good in the short term, but immediately after leads to feel- ing badly about ourselves. When we use food to soothe our emotional problems, eating becomes a habit that prevents us from learning the skills that can effectively resolve our emotional dis- tress. The good news is that if you are prone to emotional eating, you can take steps to regain control of your eating habits and get back on track with your weight-loss goals. In addition, because emotional eating is done to cope with the stresses of life, it can be changed by learn- ing different coping strategies and understanding the triggers that lead to emotional, compulsive or binge eating. By identifying what triggers our eating, we can substitute more appropriate tech- niques to manage our emotional problems and take food and weight gain out of the equation. Before starting another diet, consider an ap- proach that focuses on reasons and habits behind excessive eating and weight gain rather than on caloric intake and food. Programs such as mindful eating and other behavioural-based ap- proaches can help to get to the root cause rather than simply addressing the symptoms.

Portion control is so important, especially with obesity rates creeping up over the past 15 years. Brown-bagging your lunch means you are in control of what – and how much – you eat. 2. Colourful veggies are some of the best foods to boost the nutritional score of your lunch. Make eating on the go a snap by slicing red peppers, cucumbers and celery, and conve- niently packaging them in plastic baggies. They will be ready to grab and toss into your lunch bag any day of the week. Or, add a small handful of baby spinach and grated baby carrots to your sandwiches. 3. A nutritious beverage quenches your thirst while adding important vitamins and minerals to your mid-day meal. Single servings of fortifi ed soy beverage, such as So Good’s chocolate, va- nilla or strawberry fl avours, are available in con- venient prisma packs and are a great way to help meet your body’s need for 15 essential nutrients, including calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12. 4. Take 10 minutes to concentrate on eating. Eat- ing lunch at your desk or on the go leaves little time to think about how much you’re actually eating and can lead to overindulging. Ta ke a break to really sa- vour and enjoy each bite. More nutrition tips and lunch recipe ideas are available on-line at www.So-Good.ca.

Catholic Family Services holds workshop series in November By Jennifer Stone Staff Writer DURHAM — Angela Townend knows only too well how Attention Deficit Hy- peractivity Disorder can affect a child, and how effective treatment can improve mat- ters. The Clinical Program Manager with Catholic Family Services of Durham has experienced it first-hand, having a son who has ADHD. Ms. Townend, along with clinical super- visor Dianne Kennaley, will facilitate an upcoming workshop series at the Whitby Public Library. The workshops will take place Nov. 7, 14 and 21, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Pre-registration is required and cost for each individual or couple is $40 for all three evenings. ADHD is a developmental disorder that disrupts a child’s ability to regulate behav- iour and can affect emotional and social health, as well as academic achievement, said information from Ms. Townend. “A utism is the most genetically-caused disorder and right behind it is ADHD,” she said. The disorder has been diagnosed more and more in recent years, prompting sug- gestions of over-diagnosis, noted Ms. To w nend. “Rates of breast cancer have gone through the roof, too, but it’s not because of over-diagnosis, but because of better diagnosis tools,” she said. The workshops will be “packed full of information,” said Ms. Townend. Information on understanding the na- ture and development of the disorder, as well as an exploration of the role of parent education of medication, will be provided. The sessions will also help identify effec- tive parenting strategies and information to aid a child in improving social skills, motivation and emotional control. Also, the sessions will help parents learn to advocate for their child at school. Medication will also be discussed, she noted. “I think we’ll probably get a lot of par- ents who are reluctantly giving medica- tion,” said Ms. Townend of the upcoming workshop series. But, she contended, “it’s the same as a parent of a diabetic child giving that child insulin.” To sign up for the workshops, contact Catholic Family Services of Durham at 905-725-3513. durhamregion.com Just one more way to get your news thanks to your friends at the Metroland Durham Region Media Group Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Supporting our troops DURHAM — Steven Waite, front, and Steve Somerville, from Eagle Ridge Public School in Ajax, led an effort at the school to fill and collect shoe boxes filled with items for overseas Canadian troops.

C lub has grown in wins and prestige since 1973 beginning By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — It was another per- fect September day for football at Pickering’s Kinsmen Park last Sun- day. This day, the Markham-based York Region Raiders run up against the red-hot Dolphins’ tyke, atom and peewee teams, which so far this season carry undefeated records within the Central Ontario Minor Football League. The final whistle sounds and the Dolphins’ atoms trot off the field v ictorious — their fifth straight win in the bag after a 47-0 pounding of the Raid- ers. Following handshakes, atom head coach Dan McIlravey addressed his players in a semicircle in the end zone. McIlravey preferred to continue coaching at the atom level, even after his youngest son, Daniel, moved up to the peewee ranks. He hasn’t regretted staying on for his second season at the helm. He notes this year’s squad is perhaps the best he’s ever coached. “This is the strongest team I’ve had in my (nine) years of coaching at any level, and that includes two other championship teams,” he ex- plains. “We just have a lot of depth at every position. The players are like sponges -- they listen to you and they don’t take attitude. They show a great work ethic. I show up at a practice and they’re already warm- ing up.” Two of his charges, Raekwon Grant and A.J. Thomas, chill on the sidelines after the big victory. For Grant, 11, football is a family affair, as his father, Sterling, once played in the Scarborough Thunder organiza- tion. Meanwhile, his mother, Cindy, also played touch football in Scar- borough. He once tried out for the Scarborough squad, didn’t like it, and later found a football home with the Dolphins, where he’s played for the past four years. A defensive tackle on the left side, Grant says he enjoys football and the camraderie among his teammates. But, mostly, he takes glee in using his speed and agility to bring opposing quarterbacks to their knees every Sunday. “My job’s to hunt the quarterback,” he says matter-of-factly. Thomas, a wide re- ceiver and fullback, says this season is all about rebounding from last year’s defeat in the COMFL championship game to Scarborough. “It’s about redemption this year,” says Thomas, adding the Dolphins have already beaten one rival, the Burlington Stampeders, and have Scarborough in their sights this week. As Dolphins’ teams continue to sizzle on the field, there’s also plenty of sizzle emanating from the barbecues, where vol- unteers grill hot dogs and hamburgers, cre- ating a tailgate party atmosphere during Sunday home dates. Added to the hive of sideline activity is T- shirt sales by volun- teers. Up in the tall, wooden clubhouse, a PA system booms music and the game announcer delivers commentary to the crowd. Dolphins’ supporters aren’t hard to spot within a large crowd in the metal bleachers. Most are decked out in bright orange shirts with the large Dolphins logo adorning the front. By any definition, football is big and getting bigger in Ajax and Pickering since the birth of Pickering Dolphins minor football in 1973 with three teams and about 60 players. Since then, the organi- zation has changed its name to the Ajax-Pickering Dol- phins in the early ’90s to reflect its reach into the neighbouring town. Over those 33 years, minor foot- ball in the two communities has gradually gained ground and mo- mentum. Dolphins president Joan McIlravey, who’s been at the helm for the past three years, says most of the transformation of the club has occurred within the past eight years. “When we started doing football eight years ago, we had 200 kids playing football. Now there are 500 kids,” notes McIlravey. In addition to her husband Dan coaching within the Dolphins’ program, her three children, Jeffrey, David and Daniel, have grown up in the organization. Most of all, the Dolphins have evolved beyond its core three teams that compete each fall in COMFL. This summer, the football club added to its burgeoning house league pro- gram with 16 teams competing. The Dolphins also initiated a team in the new AllStar Peewee Football League this summer and also continue to be represented in the Ontario Varsity Football League, where a Dolphins’ team competes in the junior (19 and under) division, and in the South Central Football League where the Dolphins have an under-17 bantam entry. And, several years ago, the Dol- phins also launched a successful cheerleading program. It’s for girls ages 10 to 18 and is currently under the guidance of former Dolphins’ cheerleader Tiffany Fedosen, who’s been a Toronto Argonauts cheer- leader for several years. Next season, McIlravey said the Dolphins plan to institute a senior team into the Ontario Varsity Foot- ball League that has squads com- peting from across the province. The Dolphins’ executive is currently interviewing potential coaches for the new team. Much to her chagrin, the Dol- phins’ OVFL senior and junior en- tries will play their home games at the Oshawa Civic Stadium, which has changerooms — a prerequisite for teams in the league. The Dol- phins don’t have such facilities at Kinsmen Park. McIlravey is hoping to change that. “It bothers me,” she says, of the need for better facilities. “I don’t like to go to Oshawa to play our ‘OV’ games. It’s still Oshawa’s territory. I know Clarington is getting a new stadium. We put winning teams on the field every year and I think (having a stadium) would also help baseball and soccer in the city.” SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com To view this series in its entirety, visit keywordsearch: aleagueoftheirown For more on this story Dolphins a football success story PART OF DOWN TO GO QTR Jennifer Roberts/ News Advertiser photos There was plenty to cheer about at a recent Ajax-Pickering Dolphins tyke game against the York Region Raiders at Kins- men Park.

The Thornhill crown represented the third tournament champion- ship of the season for the Cougars. The Thornhill event was unique in that the Pickering boys played in the under-12/13 division, which included 10 teams -- three of which were older than the Pickering squad. Nevertheless, the Cougars’ superior team ball control and in- dividual skills were no match for their competition. The Cougars out- scored their opponents 12-1 in five tournament games. In the final, the Cougars faced a strong Glen Shields team. Playing under windy conditions on a hard field, the teams played to a score- less draw in regulation time. The Cougars shifted gears when needed and scored in overtime to capture the Cup and defend their title. The Cougars advanced to the final after downing the Kleinburg- Nobleton Lions 3-1 in the semifinal match. Pickering led 2-0 at half time and never looked back in recording the victory. In the qualifying round, the Cou- gars won all three of their games, beating both Vaughan Azzurri teams by 1-0 and 3-0 scores and the Ajax Bulldogs under-13s 4-0. Te am members are Fraser Aird, Nicholas Axhorn, Peter Boylan, Ryan Boylan, Bruce Cullen, Maleik De Freitas, Chris Funke, Lequane Gray, Jalen Griffiths, Darien Hafiz, Justin Haywood, Filip Ljubevski, Anthony Novak, Raphael Reynolds, Shane Satar, Sean Smith and Rafiq Suleman. Mike Reynolds coaches the team, assisted by Kevin Forde. The man- ager is Steve Boylan.

In the finals, the Panthers held a commanding 4-1 lead over Whitby-Iroquois only to see Iro- quois storm back and tie the score on a penalty kick as regulation time expired. The Panthers, however, surged ahead in overtime scoring twice to escape with a 6-4 victory. The Panthers advanced in their semi-final match with a 4-1 vic- tory over the Ajax Venom. Pickering went undefeated in the regular season (only one tie to blemish their record) en route to the league championship.
