Ju st a portion of a $2 million dona- tion to the university, the stacks of $50 and $20 bills were housed in a protec- tive see-through case next to a UOIT speakers’ podium. The cash stayed hidden almost to the end of the Oct. 10 ceremony that announced the Trib- ute Communities and Windfields Farm contribution to the school. “We hope to donate more as both UOIT and our housing development continue to grow,” said Judy Mappin of Windfields Farm. The money will be used to offset the costs of providing state-of-the-art labs equipped with the newest technology for the university. Ms. Mappin said her mother “would be delighted to see over 50 per cent of the students are women, as am I.” Howard Sokolowski, co-founder and chief executive officer of Tribute Com- munities, said the company is devel- oping more than 2,000 homes with the Mappin/Taylor family, next door to UOIT. “Thank you to you for allowing us to be part of this university,” Mr. So- kolowski said to the crowd during his speech. In an interview after the cash was revealed, Ms. Mappin said the do- nation was provided for equipment rather than student bursaries because it’s also needed for the university to be successful. “You need both, you have to have the structure there for the students, espe- cially when it’s a university of technol- ogy,” said Ms. Mappin. The relationship between the shared campus of UOIT/Durham College and her family began through Ms. Mappin’s brother, Charles Taylor, and Gary Po- lonsky, former president of both UOIT and Durham College. Ms. Mappin said it was a friendly relationship which included some land trading. “Durham College has been there as long as I can remember,” she said. Built on the same property as Dur- ham College, UOIT began in 2003 and has been growing ever since. “It seemed the right moment to help the university and they’re our neigh- bours,” she said. Ms. Mappin added she can see UOIT becoming one of the world’s best universities within the next 10 years. Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said he’s proud of UOIT and what the school is going to mean for generations still to come. He talked about some of the work the govern- Operation Impact strikes a blow for road safety Unfit vehicles, bad driving targeted by Durham Regional Police during long weekend By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — Aggressive drivers, people travelling in unsafe vehicles and motorists who’d been drinking were among those swept up in a massive road safety blitz by Durham Regional Police over the Thanksgiv- ing long weekend. Operation Impact saw hundreds of tickets written and scores of unsafe cars and trucks taken off the road, according to Sergeant Jeff Gallipeau, of Durham’s traffic services branch. The effort, in conjunction with in- spectors from the provincial trans- portation ministry, was carried out on roads throughout the region. Some highlights: • Cops and ministry inspectors pulled over 188 vehicles for inspec- tion and took 115 of them off the road. Inspectors identified a variety of safety issues, including rotting ve- hicle floors and parking brakes that had failed. Inspectors and police wrote 94 pro- vincial offences notices and seized the licence plates from 61 vehicles. • Officers were on the lookout for speeding and aggressive driving, and found plenty. They wrote 347 tickets for such of- fences as speeding, careless driving, unsafe passing and seatbelt viola- tions. • Officers also staffed RIDE (Re- duce Impaired Driving Everywhere) stops, checking more than 2,500 ve- hicles and arresting three people for impaired driving. Police administered nine road- side breath tests and also issued six temporary licence suspensions to drivers who registered a warning for blood alcohol. • In one occurrence at a RIDE check police seized a stolen vehi- cle after the driver and a passenger bailed out and fled on foot. An inves- tigation continues. Operation Impact was part of a nationwide road safety effort spon- sored by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. Pickering bridge is going somewhere New structure will help alleviate flooding for Sandy Beach Road residents By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Not only are residents in the Sandy Beach Road area getting a new bridge, they also shouldn’t have to deal with a flooded basement after a rain storm. Council approved the tender for bridge replacement on Sandy Beach Road just south of Parkham Crescent at the Oct. 3 meeting. The total price tag to replace the 46-year-old bridge is $1.8 million. The replacement is not only good news for drivers who use the road, but also for residents of Streamside Court and Willowside Court, who have dealt with the flooding of their base- ments with water from Krosno Creek on more than one occasion in the past decade. “Because we will be creating a larger opening for the water to go through it does reduce the water level in those more frequent storms,” said Richard Holborn, division head municipal property and engineering. During the last big storm in August 2005, Sandy Beach Road just north of the bridge was covered by several feet of water with several residents reporting flooding in their homes. Mr. Holborn said the wider opening in the bridge will allow more water to flow through in those 50-year storms and into Frenchman’s Bay. The project was approved in the 2006 budget with $666,665 of it to be financed through a Canada Ontario Municipal Infrastructure Fund (COM- RIF) grant. The project was approved at a cost of $1.275 million, but the approved (and lowest) tender from Dagmar Construction Inc. came in at $1.8. Mr. Holborn said the price increase can be attributed to several factors. “The original estimate is over a year old and it was not based on a final- ized design,” he said. “Also, the cost of these types of projects have increased dramatically.” Part of the final design that contrib- uted to the cost was having to raise the elevation of the road at the approaches to the bridge as part of new ministry of transportation standards, which re- quires extensive retaining walls. The construction could begin in January, as the contractor said the work would be best done in the winter, and will probably take three months. Sandy Beach Road will be closed south of Parkham Crescent during construc- tion. ✦ See Cash, Page A2 The Pickering 48 PAGES ✦ Metroland Durham Region Media Group ✦ WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2006 ✦ Optional delivery $6 / Newsstand $1 City and country Volkswagen looks at the perfect balance Wheels pullout A CLASSIC BATTLE Cougars set to prowl at own tournament Page B1 [ Briefly ] Government services at the library PICKERING — The Pickering Cen- tral Library and the Ontario government have a new website that provides in- formation about government programs and services.

The union went out on strike Oct. 5 after failing to negotiate a first contract agreement. Wo rkers and management don’t see eye to eye on issues of retiree benefits, cost of living adjustment (COLA) and con- tracting out, among others. The Region’s commissioner of human resources, Garth Johns, has maintained what the union is asking for would cost the taxpayers $11 million. “We’ve said it a dozen times before, these big items have to disappear,” Mr. Johns said. “If they do we will be back at the table.” The Region says the contract it offered July 14 was a fair one. To date, the CAW has not put the proposal to the member- ship for a vote. “The membership already sent it back and gave us a 92 per cent strike mandate,” unit chairman John Johnson said. “They don’t even want to enter- tain it.” But the fact that the Region did not use the provisions in provincial labour law to put the offer to a vote of the member- ship is an indication, Mr. John- son said, that the offer is not a fair one. A membership meeting of the union was held at 10 a.m. Tuesday morning which Mr. Johnson said updated striking workers about where they are and where they are going with the strike. During the labour disruption, DRT said it will try to maintain transpor- tation for specialized services clients with medical needs. Ex- isting GO bus service through- out the Region continues, as does the one fare anywhere in Durham Region, on GO bus only. Contracted services in Whitby and Brooklin continue, including evening shuttles and dial-a-ride, however, no ser- vice is operating into the City of Oshawa.

Randy Jenkins told ju- rors a hail of bullets was unleashed within seconds of the balaclava-wearing man bursting through the door of the Gagnon Sports shop on Sept. 14, 1994, and announcing a holdup. Mr. Jenkins is a Crown witness in the case against Ronald James Woodcock, who faces two charges of first-degree murder and four counts of attempted murder in connection with the infamous Ga- gnon’s robbery. He testi- fied Friday he’d dropped by the shop around 5 p.m. when the robbery began with a man “bouncing” in and shouting at everyone to get down. “I turned ...and said to the person, ‘You’ve got to be joking’,” said Mr. Jen- kins, who was at the time an employee at the store. “He said the words, ‘This ain’t no f---ing joke’ and he discharged this (gun) at me.” Mr. Jenkins was struck in the arm and sank to the floor, bleeding. He said he watched as the gunman, armed with a silencer-equipped semi- automatic rifle, contin- ued shooting, wounding a customer standing at a nearby counter before closing in on Gagnon’s owner Roger Pardy, who had been speaking on the phone when the gunman and an accomplice en- tered the store. “Roger had dropped to one knee and had his left arm on the counter and was still talking on the phone,” Mr. Jenkins said. “I heard Roger say, ‘Call the police, we’re being held up.’ “The assailant stepped very close towards the counter ... he leaned over the counter. He said the words, ‘I told you to get down and I’m not f--- ing kidding’ and he dis- charged the (gun) twice at Roger. And I could hear Roger scream.” Mr. Pardy lay dying as an accomplice smashed a display case and scooped out 11 handguns, which he dumped into a duffel bag. The two bandits rushed from the store, the gun- man backing out and levelling his weapon to provide cover, then sped off in a stolen car. The whole thing took about 90 seconds, Mr. Jenkins said. That getaway car, the Crown contends, had been taken earlier from Ken Thomas of Pickering, who was abducted the day of the robbery and slain execution-style with gun- shots to the head. Friday’s compelling tes- timony came at the end of the fourth week of this trial, the second on the charges against Mr. Woodcock. As Mr. Jenkins relayed his story -- in a businesslike fashion, but with careful attention to detail and descriptions of what was going through his mind as the horror unfolded - - Mr. Pardy’s widow, Na- thalie Pardy, was over- come and began to cry. She was comforted by Mr. Thomas’s widow, Dani- elle, who sat beside Ms. Pardy with an arm draped gently around her shoul- der. The two women con- tinued to watch and listen, as they have since testify- ing themselves. The trial, in Superior Court in Whitby, contin- ues.

The surplus is for the first seven months of the year and the amount could in- crease or decrease by the end of the year. A report to Ajax council’s general government com- mittee on Thursday noted almost $650,000 is being put into the capital projects reserve. Approximately $130,000 is going into the building repair reserve and the remainder, just over $86,000, is being allocated to the post build-out re- serve. The surplus could have been even higher, but the Town spent almost $1 million on consulting and legal fees for a recently completed Ontario Mu- nicipal Board hearing and to push the Town’s posi- tion on the expansion of the Duffins Creek Water Pollution Control Plant. Just over $650,000 of the surplus came from higher- than-expected investment income, “combined with budget savings resulting from staff vacancies and the milder 2005-2006 win- ter season have more than offset the consulting and legal expenditures required for OMB hearings and other significant corporate issues,” the report noted. Aj ax to use budget surplus to pay for capital projcts By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — The green bin waste residents work so hard at diverting from landfill is now successfully being made into high quality compost, ac- cording to Miller Waste. Al Ramsay, site manager for the Mill- er Waste compost facility on Squires Beach Road in Pickering, said the fa- cility has been running at full capacity since day one, July 4. “We are on course for a 25,000- tonnes-a-year pace,” Mr. Ramsay said. When modifying the facility to ac- cept the Region’s green-bin material after region-wide implementation, Miller Waste employees went to look at a number of facilities, including some in Guelph, the United States and Eu- rope. Mr. Ramsay said the new facility is state-of-the-art in terms of structural engineering and control systems. There is no active composting done outside and as a result there isn’t much of a smell outside of the facility, apart from an earthy-type smell from a bio-filter, which filters the air coming from the facility. Inside the facility is where the composting happens. It takes a crucial mix of yard waste to food waste. The yard waste can contain no grass clippings and according to Mr. Ramsay the yard waste received at the facility is 98 per cent grass free. The green-bin material and leaf and yard waste are brought by truck to a holding area where it is mixed. The en- tire facility is under negative air so the smell is contained within the building. The mixture is transported into the vessel area on a conveyor belt. The area is like a three-sided swim- ming pool filled with the green bin and yard waste mixture. It is about the size of a hockey rink, around 88-feet wide and 190-feet long. A large paddle advances over the material and turns it. “It provides continual ad- vance of the material and ex- poses all the material to the higher temperature,” he said. It takes the paddle seven hours to advance from one end of the vessel to the other. Te mperature plays an important role in composting and the facility has overhead moisture addition. The en- tire operation is tied in to one com- puter that monitors everything from the moisture level in the compost to the temperature, as well as tracking the efficiency of the equipment. “The system is somewhat self di- agnosing,” Mr. Ramsay said. “Critical problems and systems are hooked up to an auto dialer.” The compost mixture spends about 21 days in the vessel. Once the compost makes it’s way through the program in Pickering, it is shipped to Clarington, where it cures outside. The curing takes anywhere from 30 to 75 days, depending on the time of year. “By following this program, by the end of the process, you produce a mar- ketable product,” said Brad Harper of Miller Waste. “Miller has chosen to go down this route to produce an unrestricted prod- uct so that here, there is a demand for it.” The product has any number of ap- plications, according to Mr. Harper. The compost is used on local sports fields, in green houses and can be cus- tom blended for golf courses.

A/P Pickering compost facility is in full swing Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser Compost is transported to a vessel at the Miller Waste compost facility in Pickering For more on this story How do I get something published in Durham Region Media Group newspapers? The short answer is pick up the phone and give us a call. It's re- ally as easy as dialing 905.579- 4400 and speaking to someone in our newsroom. For the digi- tally inclined, let your fingers do the work for you by emailing us at newsroom@durhamregion. com. Our Managing Editors are local people, who know their way around Durham Region, and we'll be happy to answer all your questions. We have a team of editors, reporters and photographers on hand to help you tell your story. One of the best ways to communicate information is through a Press Release. What is a press release? A press release is a written out- line of your announcement. What should be in my press release? A press release should answer the Five Ws about your upcom- ing event or accomplishment: WHO is holding the event? A group, a company? WHAT is the event? A grand opening, a fun fair, special event, strawberry tea, 100th birthday? WHEN is it happening? Month, date, day of the week, time - be specific, not 'tomor- row'? WHERE is it being held? Street name, number, name of location if it is a school or hall etc., town or hamlet? WHY is the event being held? To raise funds, a special occa- sion, a grand opening? What makes a good press release? * Be brief and to the point. Almost any news release can be written within one double- spaced, type-written page. * Plan well in advance to have the information to the paper 10 - 14 days in advance of the event you are seeking publicity for to ensure we can get it in the paper. * Include your name and tele- phone number so we can call to clarify things. * Don’t be afraid to suggest something new. We welcome original ideas when they’re practical and organized. How do we get a Durham Region Media Group photographer to attend our event? The two most important factors that determine whether we will be able to send a photographer to your event are: 1. Newsworthiness A photo opportunity is newswor- thy if it will be of interest to an audience beyond your group. 2. Schedules As you can imagine, our photog- raphers are in high demand. The sooner you let us know about your event, the better the chance we will have room in our sched- ule to attend. How do I make my photo request a success? * Call early (14 days in advance is best). * Be prepared with details that help us determine whether we will be able to attend your event. We need to know the Who, What, When, Where and Why of the event. * If we are sending a photogra- pher, be ready when he or she arrives. Follow the photogra- pher’s instructions on composi- tion and have the correct spelling of the names of the people in the photo as well as their titles. *Provide a telephone number where we can contact you the day of the event in the event we are delayed (breaking news may force us to miss a scheduled photo shoot but we'll call to let you know). Can we submit our own photo? Absolutely! If a Durham Region Media Group photographer can’t make it you’re welcome to take a photo and send it to us. * We accept colour or black & white photos, or you can e-mail digital images to newsroom@ durhamregion.com. We do not accept photocopies. * Editors prefer ACTION photos.

PA GE A6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ OCTOBER 11, 2006A/P But simply conversing with one another is a start It’s like something Quentin Ta rentino’s twisted melon might’ve dreamed up. “Insane Milkman executes Amish girls.” What are you supposed to do with a day that starts out with that news? Where do you go from there? How do you square that with whatever the- ology or philosophy gets you by? What always goes through my mind, in these cases, is weren’t there at least a few tell-tale signs? One or two things that maybe his wife or colleagues down at the dairy might’ve picked up on? Maybe taken him aside at lunch and asked him how things were going? I could be talking through my hat here, of course, I’m no trained psychologist, but that question always bothers me. I think it bugs me most be- cause we don’t generally, as a culture, tend to want to get involved anymore. We have become very in- sular, squirrelled away in our living rooms, dens and home theatres. We have lost much of what used to be called a “sense of community,” something the Amish, ironically, still have a great deal of and treasure. Somehow I don’t think the Amish would let someone’s mental illness get to the point where he needs to murder to exorcise his demons. When was the last time you heard of a Mennonite serial killer? But the rest of us? Well, frankly, we just don’t want to know, do we? If Ed, in account- ing, sits at his desk and shreds one letter after another into a million tiny pieces of hate, that’s just Ed. I’d talk to him about it but I gotta get home to catch “Survivor Keswick.” And besides, the guy creeps me out. One of the great failings of the millennium is that very few of us really talk anymore. We have devices that will allow us to chat in our car with people on the other side of the globe. We can send and receive e- mail in less time than it takes to dial a phone. We have the greatest tech- nical infrastructure the world has ever known. Yet not a lot of communication is going on. Of course, communication requires that not only does somebody talk, but that some- one else has to listen. And lis- tening requires slowing down, focusing, attending, being still. All of which seem to run coun- ter to the rules of our “A-type” society. I don’t know a lot about the Amish. I don’t necessar- ily agree with all the tenets of their faith. I happen to be in love with and slavishly dependent on the electricity and technology that allows me to write these words while sitting out on my deck in the sunshine. I also think music and co- lour and diversity are things to be celebrated, not shunned. Still, I think there are a num- ber of pages the rest of us could take out of their book. We need to reacquaint our- selves with friends and fam- ily. We need to look after each other. We might not raise a barn together but we can make that handshake and hug last just a second or two longer. We can phone just for the hell of it. We can wave. We can turn the set off and walk out- side. And we can talk. For the sake of those tiny, slain angels, please God, let us talk.

Neil Crone enter laughing EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR /4& Poor planning in green bin project To the editor: So Regional Council finally realizes that something smells about the garbage contract. Ye s, the bags have all the problems you mentioned. But then, that’s not really a sur- prise, as they are not the bags that were used in the pilot proj- ect. The choice of bag type was made by Miller Waste Manage- ment to produce “a marketable product.” While Miller is en- titled to a profit, it is the func- tion of council to plan for and protect the interests and pock- ets of taxpayers. Waiting for a manufacturer to develop a new bag is hardly good planning. Staff looking to see if there is “s omething a little more user- friendly” is a stall tactic. And throwing the stuff in loose? How, exactly, does that solve the mess? It saves the cost of the bag, and that’s about all. Council must accept responsi- bility for the bag mess and for the tonnes of recyclable plastic still going to landfill sites. The election has begun. Clearly it’s time to replace this lot, and perhaps their staff advi- sors as well. These people also brought you Durham Transit - no new service at great extra cost in higher fares and higher taxes. David Bergson Ajax We need green belt lands for farming To the editor: Durham Regional Council is planning to allow development in the precious green belt area. As I became involved in the action to stop the airport here in north Pickering, I was struck by a larger issue: our urgent need to stop urban sprawl NOW. One of the pressing reasons is food security. I’ve learned that: our average farmer is well over 60; the average family farm makes less than 40 per cent of its income from farm- ing; this is the last number one agricultural land between To- ronto and England; currently the average distance food trav- els to our supermarkets is 1,500 miles. We need to: join the move- ment to feed ourselves from within 100 miles of where we live, which improves vitality (re- ducing health care costs) and minimizes our dependence on oil; help farmers escape from the commodities market rou- lette wheel by growing food for their adjacent communities; get young farmers on the land close to our major metropo- lises by helping them start with small organic plots. Global warming is also exac- erbated by sprawl. Commuting is literally killing us. How about planning high speed rail links? This stuff is urgent. Let’s think past present profit and save this land for our land for our children and theirs. We will all benefit by thinking ahead. Who wants to be wealthy in a wasteland any- way? Michael Robertson Pickering Let’s get transit talks rolling T hanksgiving weekend delivered beautiful early fall weather, turkey dinners aplenty and the chance to sit down and catch up with friends and family. Unfortunately, what it didn’t deliver was a new contract for Dur- ham Region Transit employees and the chance to get the buses back on our highways and biways. The end to a nearly weeklong strike by more than 300 DRT work- ers would surely have been greeted with thanks by more than 30,000 students, workers and seniors who depend daily on the service. But, with the lone exception of Whitby, where transit workers are on a separate contract, the buses sit idle as the days and nights go by. It’s unfortunate talks haven’t taken place since the buses pulled off the road shortly after 6 p.m. last Thursday. Both sides claim to be far apart and there seems little chance of a quick end to this standoff. That’s extremely unfortunate for the Region as a whole. In truth, labour trouble with the amalgamated Durham Transit concept could be seen coming, well, a very long bus trip away. The challenge was to somehow co-ordinate four separate contracts into one. It was never going to be easy. But with the idea of one region-wide transit system in play for many months, it’s difficult to understand how some type of deal could not have been made. Perhaps a wiser course, at least for the many thousands of students affected by this strike, would have been for DRT management to do everything it possibly could to get a deal over the summer. At least school attendance would not have been affected and parents, already busy enough with work and day-care schedules, could have been sure their children would get to school. And university and college students -- so dependent on transit ser- vice -- would not have had their lives turned upside down. However, the time is long past for hindsight. The situation as it currently stands is intolerable for all who are at the mercy of public transit. Those without a viable transportation alterative are stuck having to beg or borrow rides from friends or take the expensive op- tion of ordering a cab. Wo rkers and management must get back to the table and con- tinue talking so that a compromise can be reached. Nothing will be solved until serious attempts are made to solve this dispute. Let’s get those buses back on the road so DRT can do what taxpayers and rid- ers expect it to do: serve the public. This Week’s Question: Do election signs have any influence on your vote?

Chris Buckley, president of CAW Local 222 -- which represents the workers at the part manufacturer’s fa- cility in Whitby -- says that Lear has asked the workers to agree to cut pro- duction costs in order to make a more competitive bid for a contract with GM to produce seats for its new Chevrolet Camaro. “When General Motors con- tinues to lose market share, they con- tinue to squeeze our parts suppliers for cost offsets,” he said. “And when they go into the bid- ding process, General Motors looks to whichever facility can supply them at the cheapest price.” The company and the union have been in discussions for more than four weeks and were close to an agreement when negotiations fell apart last week, Mr. Buckley said. Lear employs 800 in its Whitby facil- ity and has been producing parts for GM for more than 20 years. The company could not be reached for comment. Mr. Buckley would not specify what terms the union is willing to negotiate or whether the contract would come into effect immediately or in 2008 when seat production would begin, but he did say some things were off the negotiation table entirely. “What we will not allow them to do is touch our wages, pensions and ben- efits,” he said.

The eight-team tournament gets underway Friday morning, with the championship and consolation champion games on Saturday afternoon. Cougars set to prowl at own tourney Eight-team Notre Dame/ News Advertiser Classic starts Friday By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — The opportunity to see how they stack up against the elite teams in LOSSA senior girls’ ‘AAAA’ basketball. That’s what the Notre Dame Catho- lic Secondary School Cougars hope to accomplish at their own Notre Dame/ News Advertiser Basketball Classic tournament, which gets underway at the north Ajax school on Friday. The two-day tournament features eight teams, seven from Durham Re- gion and the other, the Mary Ward Catholic Secondary School Wolverines, from Toronto (Scarborough). Durham teams include the G.L. Roberts CVI Lakers and the O’Neill CVI Redhawks of Oshawa, the Sinclair Secondary School Celtics and the Father Leo J. Austin Catholic High School Wildcats of Whitby, the St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School Monarchs of Pickering, and the Pickering High School Trojans of Ajax. Rose Booker, head coach of the Notre Dame seniors, notes facing Aus- tin and Sinclair should go a long way toward seeing where her Cougars - - many in their first year of senior play -- fit in among the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) ‘AAAA’ squads this season. “We’re looking forward to playing Sinclair and Austin. We’ve never met them this year yet, so we want to see how we match up against them,” says Booker, who’s aided on the bench by assistant coach Naomi Scott this sea- son. Cougars’ team captain Nicholle McKenzie notes she’s similarly look- ing forward to meeting the Whitby teams during the course of the tourney. “We haven’t played any teams to our level yet, so playing against Leo Aus- tin and Sinclair is going to be good for us. We’re going to have to bring what we al- ways bring, which is a good game,” says McKenzie, who’s been playing at the senior level for the Cougars since Grade 9. Booker notes the tournament has a strong field of teams, most of which com- pete at the top ‘AAAA’ level of LOSSA. She says all eight teams in the tournament are capable of capturing the championship crown. “Sinclair and Austin competed at OFSAA (Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations) last year. Notre Dame is coming in as the (LOSSA) ‘AAAA’ junior champs and Pickering High has a great team with outstand- ing shooting,” says Booker. “To be fair, it’s going to be tough (to win the championship). Anyone could win it. Austin should be up there, but we haven’t seen them this year. It’s really wide open. I wouldn’t want to guess which team is going to win it.” Booker notes this year’s Notre Dame senior team has a number of play- ers from last year’s championship junior team and, so far, the players have meshed together well. In LOSSA league play, the Cougars remain a per- fect 5-0. “They’re making that transition to playing at the senior level. We’re a young senior team,” she says. The leaders of this year’s Cougars are McKenzie, a six-foot, one-inch for- ward, and Rhea Pascal, a 5-foot, 11-inch for- ward. In the back- court, Notre Dame is led by guards Catherine Bou- goulias and Rosie Marfo. “We defi- nitely look to Nicholle and Rhea for our in- side game. That’s our strength by far,” says Booker. “Catherine ‘B’ and Rosie Marfo are our two main ball han- dlers.” Action in the tour- nament gets underway Fri- day with Notre Dame play- ing G.L. Roberts at 9 a.m. Other first-round matchups are: Sinclair vs. St. Mary (10:30 a.m.); Pickering vs. Mary Ward (noon) and Austin vs. O’Neill (1:30 p.m.).

Nash has re- signed with the Mammoth on a one-year deal. Nash, 28, set a career- best last season with a 10.29 goals-against average. He appeared in 14 regular season games, posting a 6-3 record, before going 2-0 in three playoff games. He made 41 saves to earn the victory against the Buffalo Bandits in the NLL championship game in May. He’s also a two-time NLL all-star and was named the league’s goaltender of the year in 2004. [ Hockey ] Allen gets first goal with Huskies PICKERING — A former Durham Junior Lightning intermediate and St. Mary Catholic Secondary School player made a successful debut with the Uni- versity of Connecticut Huskies women’s hockey team last Friday. Cristin Allen registered an unassist- ed power-play goal to help the Huskies to an 8-2 victory over the University of Vermont Catamounts. The freshman defenceman’s goal came in the first period of Friday’s season opener for the UConn women at Storrs, Connecticut. Allen’s not the only Pickering resi- dent on the UConn squad. She’s joined by junior forward Britney Chandler. Panthers nip Ajax in Toronto final PICKERING — Pickering Panthers Brantel Networks minor midget ‘A’ rep hockey team is 2-for-2 in tournament ac- tion thus far this season, capturing the To r onto Avalanche Thanksgiving Tourna- ment title this past weekend. The Panthers’ juggernaut, off to an impressive start with a 15-game unde- feated streak to start the season, kept rolling at the Toronto Avalanche event. In an exciting and entertaining final, the Panthers met arch-rival Ajax Knights, with the Panthers savouring an exciting 4-3 victory. The Panthers jumped out early with a beautiful end-to-end rush by Daryl Probert to open the scoring. Soon after, Jake McNorton scored from Brendan Fox to give the Panthers an early two-goal lead. Ajax wouldn’t quit, however, scoring two goals to end the first period in a 2-2 tie. The Panthers scored two more goals in the second, both by game most valuable player Fox, who worked hard to give himself the opportunity to score and give the Panthers a 4-2 lead after two periods. Ajax came out early in the third period and scored short-handed to narrow the score to 4-3, which paved the way for some outstanding goaltending by Michael Bowden to preserve the victory. In the semifinal, the Panthers scored a 1-0 double-overtime decision over the Georgetown Raiders. After regulation time ended in a scoreless deadlock, Trev- or Cozier emerged as the hero, scoring with 16 seconds remaining in the second extra frame on a pass by Matt Morgado. In the round robin, the Panthers continued their excellent play outscoring the opposition 22-5. They started the tournament on a high, blasting Richmond Hill 8-2, with hat tricks from Adam McNeil and Cameron Farrell and single goals by Erich Sora and Jaymee Young. In Game 2, the Panthers defeated Oshawa in a hard-fought contest 3-0. Fox, Farrell and McNeil scored for Pickering, with assists to Joel Chisholm and Cozier. Playing the host Toronto Avalanche in Game 3, the Panthers responded with a 4-1 win. Scott Cole set up Dylan Murray for the first goal, while Tyler Kotsopoulos assisted on JP Bigioni’s beautiful goal from the slot. McNeil and Cozier added single markers. The Pickering minor midgets ran roughshod over the Georgetown Raiders 7-2 in the final round-robin game. Farrell and Young scored two goals apiece, and Morgado, Kotsopoulos and McNeil added one apiece. Mark Sterling, Sora, Ch- isholm and Cole chipped in with assists. The Toronto Avalanche event repre- sented the Panthers second tournament championship this season as they cap- tured the West Mall Tournament Champi- onship last month.

Forward leaves Oshawa Generals to rejoin old team By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — The Pickering Pan- thers welcomed back a familiar face and a one-time leading scorer to the lineup on Friday. Phil McIlhone was a last-minute ad- dition to the Panthers’ roster for their OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League contest against the To- ronto Junior Canadians at the Pickering Recreation Complex Friday night. McIl- hone returned to the Panthers after two years with the Ontario Hockey League’s Oshawa Generals. Panthers’ head coach Pat Curcio says McIlhone decided to rejoin the Pan- thers after he was pencilled in as the 13th or 14th forward for the Generals this year, which meant meaningful ice time wasn’t in the cards there. “As a 19 year old, he thought that was completely unacceptable,” says Curcio. “He wants to pursue a university career and a pro career and to do that you have to play.” Curcio says McIlhone asked and was granted his release by Generals’ head coach and general manager Brad Sel- wood, who placed him on the league’s waiver wire. When he cleared waiv- ers Friday morning, Panthers’ general manager Frank Robinson immediately signed him and he was available to play Friday night. McIlhone’s inclusion in the lineup, however, didn’t pay immediate divi- dends as the Panthers four-game win- ning streak was abruptly snapped by the Toronto Junior Canadians, who crushed a lackadaisical Pickering squad 9-3. The Junior Canadians, the one-time Wexford Raid- ers, sprinted out to a 4-0 lead on the sleepy Pan- thers. Although the Panthers climbed back to within a goal in the second pe- riod, the damage was more than done by the hor- rific start to the contest. Curcio took complete responsibility for the loss, noting he and his players took a scrappy Toronto team much too lightly and weren’t prepared to play from the drop of the puck. “After winning four straight games, we took the Canadians too lightly. They were hungry and played well in every aspect of the game. I let myself and the team be too overconfident. We’re going to make sure it doesn’t happen again.” Given his druthers, Curcio would have liked to work McIlhone into the lineup more slowly, perhaps after a few prac- tices, as the 19 year old forward hadn’t been on skates for the previous seven days. “O n paper, we’re a better team with Phil, but it takes a team to win a hockey game. It upsets the chemistry when you insert a player,” says Curcio. As it was, McIlhone contributed an assist in his first game back with the Panthers. In the long run, however, Curcio says adding an established forward in McIl- hone will definitely make the Panthers a stronger team, noting McIlhone is now quite possibly the best player in the league. “O nce he’s in better shape he can dictate the outcomes of games. We’re ecstatic to have him.” McIlhone and the Panthers return to the ice tonight (Wednesday) at 7:30 p.m. when the Huntsville-Muskoka Ot- ters come to town. Curcio says his play- ers are looking to bounce back after Friday’s horrific performance. “Definitely, we’ll be a team with ef- fort. The result will take care of itself,” he says. LTD.

It’s no joke, as Yuk Yuks in Ajax hosts a unique night of comedy this Sun- day, Oct. 15, at 8 p.m. Titled ‘We Ain’t Te rrorists’, the show promises to be anything but politically correct as the four comics joke about stereo- types, racial pro- filing and, in the process, expose them for what they are. “I’m half Indian and half African,” says comic Rasul Somji in an interview. “In- dian people are known as cabbies or convenience store owners, so we are going to play around with that.” He describes the show as “a little bit different and a lot harder to do” than a regular night of stand up. It’s a lot easier for a Mus- lim to make jokes about terrorism now that there’s a little distance, five years, to be precise, between the here and now and the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. “A t first, soon after Sept. 11, it was a bad time,” says Somji. “People were very uncomfortable with the whole topic. My fam- ily members wanted me to stay home and not go on stage.” He says he’s not out to insult Muslims or any other group. “It’s fun because I’m poking fun at the culture,” says Somji. “I’m not poking fun at the Koran. It’s h umour. It’s harmless.” He suggests there are a lot of stereotypes to debunk. No stranger to Durham Re- gion, Somji has performed in Durham sev- eral times before. “When I was in Osha- wa in the summer, I was outside the bar having a cigarette, and a white guy comes up to me and says, ‘you’re not part of the Tal- iban are you’?” he recalls. “It made me realize how bad the situation is get- ting.” In the past, he said “blacks” were the targets of racists, arguing that “brown people” have taken over that position. Slipping in a typically off-colour joke, Somji says when a “black guy” is caught for some crime, he goes to jail. But, when a “brown person” is similarly appre- hended, “they take him to the airport” to be deport- ed. It’s part of his comic technique, he says, to take something negative, put a spin on it and laugh at it. “We are trying to show the funny side of Muslim people, because all of us are not crazy,” he says. He says the show de- buted in Toronto around two months ago and was a smash hit. Initially, there was to be one show. But, a crowd of several hundred people were lined up and couldn’t get in, prompting the organizers and com- ics to add a second perfor- mance. Somji has hopes that the show will also make it to New York and New Jersey, quickly add- ing, “we have our fingers crossed that we can cross the border.” Also performing at Yuk Yu ks are comics Dave Merheje, Sabrina Jalees and Wafik Nasralla. Yu k Yuks is at 235 Bayly St. W. Tickets are $15.

A book of condolence may be signed at www.mceachnie-funeral.ca By Christy Chase Staff Editor DURHAM — When photographer/ videographer A.J. Groen and I ar- rived at the Robert McLaughlin Gal- lery recently, the latest exhibit was still under wraps. The stone and bronze sculptures by Ottawa’s Deborah Arnold were in crates and the bases were smothered in bubble and plastic wrap. The art- ist herself had just arrived from her home in Ottawa and was looking for- ward to getting her works unwrapped and installed for this weekend’s opening of Glyphs of Nature. It was a bit like Christmas -- all those packages to be opened. By the time Groen had finished his photography and videography and I’d completed my interview with Ar- nold, two of those crates had been opened and the heavy stone sculp- tures had been exposed to our -- and the cameras’ -- view. What I saw was enough to lure me back for the open- ing Sunday afternoon. Singular Fragment, in particular, caught my eye. It’s made from carra- ra marble, the “creme de la creme” of marble, a wonderfully luminescent stone, used by Michelangelo for the Pieta and his other amazing sculp- tures. And thanks to Arnold’s pains- taking sculpting process and hours of hand sanding with a variety of sand- papers, Singular Fragment is a glow- ing, mesmerizing work that vaguely recalls a torso or perhaps an iceberg and is, in places, extremely smooth. In fact, it felt like silk, smooth and soft to my touch. Soft -- a strange word for stone but it fits in this case. In her studio in an old textile mill in Almont, Arnold has worked for two years on the 21 works in this exhibit, carving in marble, alabaster, chlorite, chrystolino, calcite, lime- stone and wonderstone (pyrotholite) and casting and sculpting bronze for three pieces. It generally takes her three months to complete a piece, which gradually emerge from the raw stone shipped to her by her suppliers in British Columbia and Montreal. Or she might even work on some calcite she’s picked up herself along Hwy. 7 near Perth. Michelangelo is said to have been able to “see” the sculpture inside the stone. “I’m no Michelangelo,” Arnold said. But the stone does speak to her, she said. Sometimes loudly, in which case she can complete a work in a month. Sometimes more quietly, requiring her to draw the stone as it is in order to find the shape, the pres- ence inside it. “The shape speaks to me some- times. Just to get to know it, I will draw it. Once in a while ... I know what it’s supposed to be. I work with the state of being of the stone.” Sometimes, she’ll start out with a shape, an idea but, part way through, she’ll realize she needs to change it. “It’s almost like an improvisation,” she said. In order to release the shape, she uses hand tools -- a pneumatic ham- mer, rasps, files and finally, sandpa- per. “What really tries my patience is sanding. I insist on hand sanding all pieces,” she said. That’s where the smoothness comes from. “It’s very physically demanding,” she said, adding she has an assistant, Ryan Lotecki, who helps her move and shift the stone. The sheer size and weight of the stones is perhaps one of the rea- sons Arnold is one of the few women stone sculptors around. But modern technology in terms of moving the stone should open that up, she said. As for how she got into it, Arnold said she was trained as a dancer -- you can see movement in her sculp- tures. But one day, she decided it was time to take an art class and to take sculpture. And not just sculpture, but stone sculpture. She studied in Ottawa, spent eight months in Italy studying Italian sculpture techniques and also stud- ied in the States. The gallery is on Queen Street, be- hind City Hall in downtown Oshawa. The exhibit runs through Nov. 12.
