Three municipalities place election of regional chairperson question on the ballot By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — Three municipali- ties will ask residents if they believe the Regional chairperson should be elected at large by the residents of Durham Region. But, a committee elected to look at the role of the chair- person doesn’t think that should be the case. To elect or not elect the regional chairperson is a debate which has been going on for nearly 10 years. Oshawa, Ajax and Pickering are plac- ing a referendum question on their municipal election ballots asking res- idents their opinion. However, select- ed councillors have met as an infor- mal committee to consider the role of the Regional chairperson. Participat- ing in the discussion were Clarington Councillor Jim Schell, Whitby Coun- cillor Joe Drumm, Oshawa Council- lor Brian Nicholson, Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce and Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan. The report, forwarded to Regional council members by the committee, states while it was not the purpose of the committee to put forward a position on whether a chair(person) should be elected at large, or be elected by council, as is currently the practice, it was generally felt that the present system serves the community well. “This committee looked hard at what other regions do,” Coun. Schell said. “For today, our committee de- cided, after three full meetings, that is the way to do it.” The current system is working well, and caution should be exercised in making changes that may diminish the effectiveness of the system, the report states. “Council currently has the power to elect the person with the skill set and behavioural characteristics that members perceive as appropriate,” it reads. During the committee meetings, it became apparent there would not be unanimous agreement on the po- sition to bring forward to Regional council. One view on the role of the Regional chairperson is that they are a facilitator and figurehead only, while the majority position was that the chairperson is an active partici- pant in the regional decision-making process. “The way it is working is working fine,” Coun. Drumm says. “At some point in time it will bring its head up again and that is the time to handle this.” The committee’s purpose was to consider whether or not the chairper- son should be able to make motions and vote at standing committees.

That is the question Kathleen Hamilton has aspirations of helping people By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Kathleen Hamilton entered the fire hall dressed in her new jacket and red hat. She was greet- ed with a special surprise. Sparky the Safety Dog raced across the room in his fire truck and let out an excited, “Kathleen, you’re finally here.” Her face lit up as she grinned ear to ear. It was the highlight of her time as Pickering Fire Chief. Kathleen, 7, was the winner of the Fire Chief for a Day contest sponsored by McDonald’s and the City of Pickering. “(My favourite part was) when I saw Sparky in the fire truck,” she said. Sparky was being controlled by Ste- phen Fowlds, fire prevention officer, who led Kathleen through her morn- ing Nov. 3 as chief, along with Fire Chief Bill Douglas. “Reaction wise, that was probably one of the best moments of the day,” said her mom Susan Hamilton. Kathleen’s day started with a meeting with Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan at the Pickering Civic Complex where she received her uniform, a red fire hat with lights, and her very own Sparky to take home, she even got a Sparky backpack. “And it had all kinds of things in it,” she said. Next, it was on to the fire hall to met her subordinates and take a look at the fleet of fire trucks. She was all smiles and giggles as her dad, Doug, put on a full fire suit and when she got to use the hose. She did pretty well and only got her shoes wet, she said. A ride in a real fire truck was the next highlight. “It was fun!” she said of the ride to Va ughan Willard Public School, where she is in Grade 2. “It’s cool because you get to put on these headphones and talk to every- body.” The experience wouldn’t have been complete without sirens and lights. When she arrived at school it was time to get down to business, she was there to oversee a fire drill, but before that she enjoyed her 15 minutes of fame. “Everyone was cheering for me when I went down the hall,” she said. When she’d told her class the day before of the prize she’d won they thought it was “cool” and “amazing.” As she recounts her morning over lunch at a local McDonald’s, she fidg- ets with the stuffed Sparky lying on the table in front of her. She loves her new possession “because he talks and he’s a dalmatian.” Her little brother Fraser, 4, is sitting nearby with his red fire truck and his own junior fire chief hat. Ms. Hamilton explains they kept the news from him until that morning because they didn’t want him to get upset. He’s been a firefighter the past two Halloweens. In a show of sisterly kind- ness Kathleen said he could use her coat next year to wear as part of his costume. Although the little girl with the blond hair munching away on her fries and Chicken McNuggets may want to keep it for herself, she now wants to be a firefighter in real life when she grows up. “Because you get to ride in a fire truck,” she explains. “And they help people.” It’s possible though that once the excitement of the day fades away she could revert back to her first dream of becoming a rock star. The Fire Chief for a Day contest is open to students in Grades 1 to 6. This year, more than 500 entries were received; this is the third year for the contest.

Ontario Court Justice Kofi Barnes ruled Fraser James Copeland, 45, should stand trial after hearing evidence during a lengthy preliminary hearing. Evidence heard at the hearing is subject to a publication ban. Durham police arrested Mr. Cope- land, a Lindsay resident, in July of 2005 following a lengthy investigation. Police allege the former City bylaw enforce- ment officer was involved in fraudulent transfers and sales of taxi licences that brought in more than $250,000. Issuing taxi licences is not one of the functions of the bylaw enforcement officer. Mr. Copeland has been ordered to stand trial on a charge of breach of trust and five counts of fraud over $5,000. A date for trial has not been set. [ What’s on ] Draft plan for Rouge River open to comments PICKERING — Toronto and Region Conservation and Rouge Park are look- ing for feedback on a new plan devel- oped for the Rouge River Watershed.

A female officer sustained minor neck and back injuries in the incident, which occurred on Kingston Road near Brock Road around 11 p.m. As the officer waited in her unmarked car to make a left turn a car slammed into the rear of the cruiser, police said. The driver provided a breath sample and was found to have more than dou- ble the legal amount of alcohol in his blood, police said. Giuseppe Lorefice, 21, of Rosefield Road, is charged with impaired driving and driving while exceeding the legal blood-alcohol limit.

Labelling itself DIVA, (Durham in Visual Arts), the group of parents and concerned residents met in Oshawa recently to gather support for the four- year regional arts program at O’Neill CVI, cancelled earlier this year. The meeting included some of the candi- dates in the upcoming election; DIVA representatives said all were invited. “Our kids have taught us how im- portant it is,” said Sharon Seidel, who drives her daughter from Ajax every- day to attend O’Neill’s enriched visual arts program. Earlier this year, the Durham Dis- trict School Board stopped allowing out-of-district students to attend the program starting in Grade 9 because it was never officially approved. “There’s not one of us here who are going to be impacted, it’s for the future kids,” said Tim Patrick, a south Oshawa resident who has a child in the pro- gram and supports it continuing. Pam Reines, also a parent and DIVA member, said the program will still be available for out-of-district students in Grade 10, but they will lose the Grade 9 component starting in the 2007/08 school year, which interferes with the building blocks of the enriched arts program. She added it will also split up their secondary school education. Liana Bangay, an Uxbridge resident, said she drives to Oshawa and back twice a day because the visual arts program is so important to her son. “He was concerned about the kids that want to be there as much as he does,” said Ms. Bangay. “They’re not just students walking down the hallway, they’re arts stu- dents and they know they’re arts stu- dents,” Ms. Bangay said. Her son had to audition and pres- ent a portfolio to get into the school’s’ regional program. “What’s good for our daughter, we believe should be right for everyone,” said Michael Seidel, Ms. Seidel’s hus- band. Mr. Seidel said it doesn’t cost the board anything to have out-of-district students attend O’Neill for the en- riched program because students have to provide their own transportation. DIVA began a few weeks ago and plans to continue meeting about its plans to fight to keep the O’Neill arts program regional.

Why is it for some elections you must mail your ballots in and for others you have to actually go and vote? A.

Some time in the future, the com- mittee recommended, consideration should be given to the process of selecting committee chairpersons.

The Student Conference against Partner Abuse was at- tended by teenagers from eight Durham schools who discussed ways to end domestic violence at the day-long event organized by three students from Ander- son Collegiate Vocational Insti- tute: Grade 11 students Hamud Mbarak and Chris Walton, both 16, and 17-year-old Katie Zep- pieri. “I hope that the people who are here today at the conference can take back what they’ve learned... and go to their schools and create more awareness because that’s the only way that we’re going to get through; people making a dif- ference in their schools is a start,” said Katie. Hamud said he thinks the conference is needed because partner abuse is not often talked about and that hopefully it would encourage more students to be open about the issue. Chris said the event was going well and that perhaps it will become an annual occurrence. Students at the conference broke off into small groups to dis- cuss partner abuse then joined in an overall discussion. Earlier they listened to keynote speaker Dawna Speers discuss the warn- ings signs of relationship abuse, and also showcased her docu- mentary film A Love that Kills, which delved into the story of her daughter, Monica, who was mur- dered by her former boyfriend. The event was also attended by two representatives from Dur- ham Regional Police who are involved in a community-based initiative called D.R.I.V.E.N., which stands for Durham Region Intimate-Relationship Empow- erment Network. Only one out every four incidents of domestic violence are actually reported and 80 per cent involve female victims, police said. “This is all about breaking the cycle of violence,” Detective Cathy Bawden said. Her colleague, Detective Trac- ey Marshall, said hopefully the conference will break the silence that might be prevalent among youth on the issue of partner abuse.

Local MP says current animal cruelty laws are an embarrassment By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM — The failure of the federal government to re- form Canada’s animal cruelty legislation is an embarrassment, says local MP Mark Holland. The Ajax-Pickering MP in- troduced a private members’ bill Oct. 30 to update Canada’s animal cruelty laws, identical to Bill C-50 that died when the Ja nuary federal election was called. “I worked a lot on the previ- ous bill to try to get a com- promise on both sides...We had achieved compromise and it took an amazing amount of work, but then the election was called,” Mr. Holland said. The legislation would update the section in the Criminal Code pertaining to cruelty against an- imals. It was last re-introduced in May 2005 and prior to that several similar pieces of legisla- tion had been introduced, dat- ing back to 1999. “The problem now is that an- imals receive the same amount of care as a chair or a desk,” Mr. Holland said. He called the cur- rent legislation “woefully out of date.” The current laws were first enacted in 1892 and only slight- ly revised in 1956. “(The new legislation) would first take animals out of the property section and give them the protec- tion they deserve,” Mr. Holland said. The bill would also bring in stronger penalties and make it easy for agencies that protect animals to do their job. The Ontario Soci- ety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has been advocating for new legislation for years. The News Advertiser spoke with the OSP- CA’s chief investigator Michael Draper after Bill C-50 was in- troduced. He said the current legislation makes it difficult for investigators to do their job. “It’s woefully inadequate, both in penalties and the way it is worded,” Mr. Draper said at the time. “There are a number of significant problems with the current legislation.... All of our investigators are so frustrated with it.” Mr. Draper was unavailable for comment on the new pro- posed bill. Mr. Holland, a vegetarian, cited animal welfare as one of his issues of concern after he was elected in 2004. “I’m of the belief that all life de- serves dignity and when you see the egregious things people have done to animals and it’s gone unpunished,” he said. “It’s time we recog- nize animals deserve protection.” Mr. Hol- land is also concerned that a bill introduced by Senator John Bryden, known as S-213, could be passed. He said while that bill brings in tougher penal- ties for animal cruelty, in most other respects it retains Crimi- nal Code provisions that have changed little since 1892. The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters supports Mr. Bryden’s bill. “If Mr. Holland’s comments are correct he suggests his bill is identical to C-50, if that’s cor- rect we do not support it. We did not support previous gov- ernment bills,” said Greg Far- rant, manager of government relations and communications for the OFAH. “The bill we do support is currently in the sen- ate.” Mr. Holland pointed out his bill clearly states legalized hunting and fishing are allowed as long as the animal is not tor- tured. Mr. Farrant disagrees. “The bill does not afford us with the protection Mr. Holland or the previous government suggested,” he said. Mr. Farrant admitted he hasn’t read Mr. Holland’s bill and was making comments based on Mr. Holland saying his bill was identical to C-50. Mr. Farrant said once passed, that legislation would allow an- imal rights activists to go after farmers, anglers, and people who use animals for medical research. As a private members’ bill, Mr. Holland’s bill stands lit- tle chance on its own, so he will be reaching out to the public and to MPs and senators of all parties in an effort to convince the government to reintroduce it as a government bill. “I can’t understand any rea- son why anyone would stand in its way,” he said. “The key here is to get the government and the other par- ties to fast track the legislation so we don’t (have the legisla- tion die again).” 8[ed[e\j^[Óhij+&&Ykijec[hijeijefXo5IF"KBY)PNF%FQPUj^_im[[a[dZWdZf_YakfW\h[[" [d[h]o#iWl_d]YecfWYjÔkeh[iY[djb_]^jXkbX 9<B $OekYWdWbieh[YoYb[oekhebZ_dYWdZ[iY[dj \[ij_l[b_]^jijh_d]iWdZ][j+e\\Wd[mijhWdZe\[d[h]o#iWl_d]B;:\[ij_l[b_]^ji <kbb[l[djZ[jW_biWjWFSJEJBOPODB &7&/5445"35"5".4)"31 9ecfb_c[djie\?dWiieY_Wj_edm_j^ B_c_j'f[h^eki[^ebZ$Ijh_d]e\+&ehceh[$ (FUBGSFF $'-BU5IF)PNF%FQPU"OEXIJMFZPVµSFBUJU CSJOHJOZPVSPME JODBOEFTDFOUGFTUJWFMJHIUTUSJOHT UPSFDFJWFPGGBOFXTUSBOEPG-&%MJHIUT 5)&"+"9)0.&%&105 ,JOHTUPO3PBE&BTU &WFOUTBSFIBQQFOJOHGSPNBNQN $'-(*7&"8": BOE'&45*7&-*()5&9$)"/(& 4BUVSEBZ /PWFNCFS 4VOEBZ /PWFNCFS 4BUVSEBZ /PWFNCFS 4VOEBZ /PWFNCFS Brenner “Committed to resolving community issues” “Maurice Brenner remains at the head of the Pickering Class, rolling up his sleeves and digging in no matter the issue”. *2005 Ajax Pickering News Ad Municipal Report Card Maurice Brenner knows the community, and fi ghts for the issues you raise.

Mark Holland Covering Durham’s education situation ccrimi@durhamregion.comREPORTER CRYSTAL CRIMI PICKERING — The trustee candi- dates vying to represent Pickering on the public and Catholic school boards got a chance to state their platforms at a candidates’ meeting in Claremont last Wednesday night. The Greenwood and Area Ratepay- ers Association and Land Over Land- ings hosted the Ward 3 event. All candidates running for the Dur- ham District School Board were there except for Carlton Wright. “We can build a school system that works for all our kids,” said Chris Braney. He believes in being account- able, keeping our schools safe, being a positive voice at the board table, and education excellence. Current Trustee Paul Crawford urged voters to keep the good representatives they have now. “Stay with the same experience you have now,” he said. Trustee Sherry Crouteau said she has five principles she wants to address if re-elected: safety in schools, renewal of aging facilities, putting more money into schools, investigating the need for a second French immersion program for Pickering, and creating a school community council action network. “I’m extremely passionate about education and one of my principle mandates is to make sure students maximize their learning potential,” said Craig Fairclough. Yo uth worker Paul Pryce said he would bring youth workers into schools to help students who are dealing with issues outside of school. “I see a need in our schools to im- prove,” he said. Durham Catholic District School Board candidates, including Trustee Jim McCafferty and Gerry Downes, at- tended, while Trustee Paul Bannister was absent. “My record shows I’ve been a strong representative for our students. I’ve been available to investigate inquiries by parents,” said Trustee McCafferty. “The most important reason I seek trusteeship is for our students them- selves, they are our future,” said Gerry Downes.

Students the focus of Ward 3 Pickering trustee debate Forum looks at Canadian municipalities with energy-from-waste facilities By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer BRAMPTON — Energy from waste is not just a hot topic in Durham but across the Ontario. A recent energy from waste forum hosted by the Recycling Council of On- tario (RCO) saw more than 100 people packed into a banquet room at the Holiday Inn in Brampton to hear dis- cussions on land filling verses incin- eration with energy recovery, issues at the interface of energy from waste and climate change, as well as overviews of two incinerators currently operating in Canada and some proposals for facili- ties in Ontario including the Durham/ Yo rk facility. Waste management technician with the Region of Durham, Bunny Lockett, attended the forum. “Mainly what I took away from it is that there is much more support for the process than non-support,” Ms. Lockett said. “Incineration is widely accepted as the preferred alternative as long as it doesn’t impact recycling.” Dave Merriman, who facilitated the afternoon discussion, is a consultant with MacViro Consultants and is pres- ently working with a number of Great- er Toronto Area municipalities on en- vironmental assessments, including Durham. “It is better to divert than it is to dis- pose but the question is what do you do with what is left over?” Mr. Merri- man said. “What do you do before we have a zero waste society.” Two energy-from-waste facilities, currently operating in Canada, gave an overview of their operations. Ken Carrusca, a senior engineer with the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD), explained its facility services a population of two million people from 21 member municipalities. There is a network of seven transfer stations and, along with the energy- from-waste facility, the GVRD operates some landfills. “The future as we see it, will have some mix of waste to energy, land fill- ing and diversion,” Mr. Carrusca said. “Truly, we are a consumer society and that certainly is one of the challenges for our organization.” The GVRD has extended producer responsibility. They have a ban on the disposal of certain materials like Phar- maceuticals, flammable liquids and pesticides and there is a charge for the disposal of tires, lead acid batteries, oil and paint. As well, BC has had a deposit program for bottles in place for more than 30 years. Ron Richter with Veolia, the private contractor that runs the Vancouver fa- cility, explained the site location for the facility was chosen because it is beside a paper recycling facility, it is centrally located and there is future potential for further eco efficiency. “The facility was designed to be very close to the urban centre,” Mr. Richter said. “We are in an area that is growing rapidly as a large industrial area.” The facility generates between $10 and $12 million a year in revenue through the sale of heat. “Because we have a good revenue stream we have the opportunity to put back into the plant,” Mr. Richter said. The continuous monitoring of emis- sions of the three stacks is well within the limits, according to Mr. Richter. Andy Pollock from the Region of Peel and David Willinston, chemical engi- neer and plant manager of Algonquin Power, talked about their experiences. Algonquin Power currently operates the only energy-from-waste facility in Ontario. It is a private/public partner- ship that processes 140,000 tonnes, or 50 per cent of Peel Region’s garbage, each year. The cost for processing is $108 per tonne. “We have one of the more aggressive diversion programs in Ontario,” Mr. Pollock said, adding that the energy- from-waste facility had no impact on diversion rates there. In Peel, the regional council ap- proved a 20-year waste management strategy in 1995. Its goal is to maximize the three R’s -- reduce, reuse and re- cycle -- and then seek opportunities to convert waste to energy. Mr. Pollock said the energy-from- waste facility allows for a made-in- Peel solution for waste disposal and it diversifies Peel’s disposal portfolio. As well, he said, the facility converts non- recyclable waste into a resource. “(The facility) is sized right,” he said. “It was built to a size so that diversion can happen,” Mr. Pollack said. The facility has a very active public liaison committee, which is important to the operations, Mr. Pollack added. “I think it is very important we keep those lines of communication open with the public,” he said. A rundown of some facilities, which are being proposed in Ontario, includ- ing Durham and York by Kelly Spitzig of York Region, was also given. Rod Bryden, the president of Plas- co Energy Group, outlined a planned plant in Ottawa, which is currently in the construction phase. Also, an over- view was given of the Niagara-Ham- ilton joint environmental assessment study, which considers energy from waste as an option. Energy from waste is a hot topic ‘It is better to divert than it is to dispose but the question is what do you do with what is left over? What do you do before we have a zero waste society.’ DAVE MERRIMAN submitted photo Spooky kids Christina Sciulli and Andrew Kritiotis, neighbours on Fairfield Crescent in Pickering, brought Halloween to their neighbourhood in a big way. The two youths worked countless hours to prepare an outdoor dis- play, labouring right up until darkness set in on Oct. 31.

PAGE A6 ◆ NEWS A DVERTISER ◆ NOVEMBER 8, 2006P A s completely weird as this seems, it’s come to my attention recently that one can actually purchase a Canada’s Wonderland Senior’s Season Pass. Take a good look at those five words once again, “Canada’s Wonderland Senior’s Season Pass.” Am I out to lunch or does that strike you as a little odd? Senior’s season passes. Just how many of these Edsels are they actually selling? I can’t say I’m a regular, but last time I was at the park I don’t recall seeing too many grey heads or dentured, screaming mouths on “Top Gun” or “Drop Zone.” There was that one old guy running naked through Splash- Works, but security hustled him out of there pretty quickly. “What about taking the grandchildren out for the day?” I hear some of you saying. All well and good, in theory. But have you spent a day at Cana- da’s Wonderland lately? I don’t know whether it’s the lack of shade, the huge amount of radiation-absorbing tarmac or maybe just the sheer mass of humanity that daily throngs from ride to ride, but that park has to be one of the most swel- tering places on the planet. It’s a furnace. I’ve seen Kenyan long dis- tance runners lying prostrate and lifeless beside cotton candy stands. Camels gasping their last breathes, waiting for an order of Funnel Cakes. After a couple of hours in that oven, on even an average July day, you’d swear you weren’t at Major Mack and the 400, but in Burma or Ban- gladesh. So, no. Grandkids or no grandkids, I can’t see many se- niors, outside of the odd nostal- gic Australian POW, wanting to hang out there for too long. But the lunacy of this idea got me thinking along other lines. What if there actually was a “Theme Park” just for seniors? The concept isn’t as far-fetched as you might imagine. Our population is aging dramati- cally and there are now billions of dollars of hard-earned pen- sions, RRSP’s and RIF’s wait- ing to be spent. There’s gold in them thar’ pills. Just ask any cruise operator. So what might such a place be like? Firstly what would you call it? How about “Bushed Gar- dens,” “Dizzyland” or maybe even, “EpCoot Centre?” As far as thrills go, most se- niors I know have done a pile of living through some very scary times, so it’d take more than a couple of loop-de-loops to get a rise out of them. Think “Cliffhanger,” “Vortex” and “The Zipper” are a wild ride? Try “The Depression,” “The Great War” and “Influen- za Epidemic,” kids. Those little adventures will put the fear of God into the toughest mall rat. For those who don’t want the cardio rush there might be other, less heady diversions. Things like “Whack-a-brat,” “Bumper Car parking” and “The Tunnel of Garage Sales” might prove fun. Actors too, could be hired to stroll through the park in costume. None of your Fred Flintstones, Mickey Mouses or Donald Ducks though. I see ridiculous characters walking around with untied running shoes, untucked shirts plas- tered with every conceivable corporate logo and clownish, oversized pants down around their crotches. There is nothing, after all, that seniors find more gut-bust- ingly amusing than the youth of today. Sunderland resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR /4& Good Samaritan helped Durham man after crash To the editor: I recently had an event right out of the movie ‘Crash’. Despite what we think as a result of our electronic media overkill, there are plenty of good, decent types around. At 4:30 a.m. on Oct. 11, I was involved in a serious car ac- cident on Hwy. 401 at Morn- ingside. I hydroplaned in a downpour and hit a concrete guardrail at about 100 km/hr. I crawled from the wreck and tried frantically to signal for help for more than an hour. No one stopped or apparently called the OPP. I was in shock and shak- ing from the stress and the cold. Near 6 a.m., an SAS tow truck pulled in front of me. A young man emerged and for the next three hours did everything he could to assist and ensure my comfort and well being. I found out later he was Pakistani and his name, Anees Chaudhry. He lives in Durham. He did not just tow my car; he loaned me a cell phone and constantly reminded me that this was only a car and that I was alive. He took me to the collision centre in Scarbor- ough and waited for me there. He then took me to his SUV, while he returned his truck and gave me his keys so I could sit inside and be warm. His kindness did not stop there. On his return, he drove me to Tim Hortons for a cup of hot coffee and then took me to my front door in Whitby. This was far more than I expected. Dave Ball Whitby Homework overload unfair to kids To the editor: Homework overload has been a pet peeve of mine for many years and I am happy to see that the subject is being revisited by the powers that be. I’ve watched as my sons and daughters struggle with my grandchildren to help them fin- ish reams of homework, most of which should have been fin- ished in the classrooms. I believe it is unfair to the children. Not only does it de- prive them of precious free time but it leaves them with a resent- ment about the whole learning system. Parents of today are stressed out enough without having to spend hours of their time trying to help their kids with homework. This is not fair to the kids, we send them to school for an education by qualified people with a university degree that takes four to five years to complete. All parents do not have these qualifications so the majority of our children are at a disadvantage. Whether the cause lies with the government or the board of education it’s the kids that suffer as usual.

Neil Crone enter laughing Ryan is the best choice to lead Pickering for the next four years Mayor must continue to attract jobs to the area P ickering residents go the polls in less than a week to de- cide how their city should grow over the next four years. Those you elect Monday, Nov. 13 won’t be sitting hun- dreds of miles away in Ottawa debating Canada’s military role or a few hours by car during rush hour in Toronto discussing budgets with nine zeros at the end of the number. No, you will cast a ballot for people who live down the street or a short walk away who decide where a road will be built, where a school will be located and how your tax dollars will impact you the most. Pickering is a growing community located just on the fringe of Toronto. More than 2,000 jobs have been created in the past few years and still more can be done with the right people at the helm. Our choice to lead council for the next four years is Dave Ryan. He started the Mayor’s Gala that last year which raised money for the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering Hospital and this year will raise funds for the hospital and the Durham West Arts Centre. He has the experience for the job having served as a council- lor from 1994 to 2003. In 2003, he defeated Doug Dickerson for the mayor’s chair. Mayor Ryan has big plans for Pickering, promising to con- tinue to attract new businesses and ensure Pickering is recog- nized for its responsible and balanced growth. For the Regional Ward 1 seat, Bonnie Littley, our choice, is a tireless community activist. The list of community organizations she has worked with is very long and her ideas for community consultation should be given a chance. In Ward 1 local our choice is Kevin Ashe to continue to grow into the role. He has been quieter than some members of coun- cil but when he speaks his comments are thoughtful and bring a different perspective to an issue. In Regional Ward 2, Bill McLean should be sent back to council. He is a tireless community servant and plans to make the restoration of Frenchman’s Bay a priority. Eileen Higdon is our choice for Ward 2 City councillor. She has served previously on council so is familiar with the sys- tem. She is committed to making sure Pickering preserves its unique character while continuing to attract investors. Ward 3’s Regional Councillor should be Kevin Modeste, who would bring new blood and a different voice to council. David Pickles is an experienced, hard-working councillor, and is our choice to remain as the representative as Ward 3 City councillor. At the Durham District School Board, Chris Braney and Sherry Croteau are our two choices. Mr. Braney is a former Scarborough trustee who’s familiar with all education issues, while Ms. Croteau wants to start a network for school commu- nity councils. Jim McCafferty and Gerry Downes should sit at the table with the Durham Catholic District School Board. Mr. McCafferty is an experienced trustee with perfect atten- dance while Mr. Downes has a long list of community involve- ment. 905.420.2222 cityofpickering.com 24 Hour Access 905.420.4660 ATTEND PUBLIC MEETINGS AT CITY HALL All meetings are open to the public.

City of Pickering 2006 Annual Accessibility Plan Municipal Operations Help us keep your streets clean and safe this fall season KEEP STORM SEWER CATCH BASIN GRATES CLEAR It is important that storm sewer catch basins be kept clear so they can serve their intended purpose, which is to remove stormwater from streets and boulevards. With the upcoming fall season, there will be leaves and debris collecting on catch basins on your street. In an effort to avoid street flooding, your cooperation in keeping catch basins clear of obstructions in your neighbourhood would be appreciated. City staff resources are not always sufficient to keep up with the need and demand due to the vast number of catch basins and the increasing urban forest cover, including mature street trees. There are a few things you can do to help City crews: • keep drains clear of any accumulated debris •dispose of yard waste properly, so it never gets washed into catch basins. Please refrain from blowing or raking leaves and grass clippings onto roadways. The goal of this program is to clear storm sewer catch basin grates on a regular basis so it is less likely they will become blocked during heavy rains and cause flooding.

Complex cityofpickering.com/recreation Raccoons are able to adapt to a wide variety of habitats and have become a familiar face in many of our backyards. Their close proximity to humans opens the door to potential human-wildlife conflicts. No matter the issue, the following will assist you in resolving your conflict in a safe and humane manner. TIPS ON LIVING WITH RACCOONS •Don’t feed them. Although usually done with good intentions, feeding raccoons and other wild animals decreases their natural fear of humans. There are many natural food sources available to raccoons, and they do not require human intervention to survive. •Secure waste containers. To prevent access, keep garbage stored inside your house or garage until the morning of pick-up, or reinforce snap-handle garbage bins with bungee cords. •Check your home for potential entry points. Although raccoons do not hibernate, many keep active den sites during the winter to stay protected from the elements during cold days. Fall is the best time of year to check your roof, porch, sheds, and decks for gaps or weaknesses in the structure and close them off.

Following up on a query from reader Susan Webb, the News Advertiser asked trustee candidates in the Nov. 13, 2006 election a few questions regarding the recent salary increase and retroactive pay Durham Catholic and public school board trustees gave them- selves, as allowed by pro- vincial legislation. Each of Durham’s trustee candidates were asked for a one-paragraph answer to the question below. Ajax’s Catholic trustee was ac- claimed and did not re- spond. In some cases, re- sponses were edited for space. Did you vote in favour of increasing trustee salary from $5,000 to $16,451, ef- fective Dec. 1, 2006? Why or why not. Did you vote in favour of paying the raise retroactive- ly to Sept. 1, 2005? Why or why not? Why should the board spend money on trustee salary increases instead of putting it toward city bus passes, school books and more school staff? AJAX Wa rds 1 and 2 Marilyn Crawford (in- cumbent) I voted in favour of the in- crease and retroactive por- tion. The trustee salary was set at $5,000 by the Mike Harris Conservative govern- ment in 1996. Previously, school boards set their own salary and there was a wide range across Ontario. At that time, Durham Region had 22 trustees and now it has 11, which increased work- load. When the Liberal gov- ernment was elected they promised to review salaries. Because it took them so long to come up with a for- mula, they allowed boards to make the increase retro- active to September 1, 2005. All the funding we receive is explicitly enveloped as to what it can be used for. While I agree the optics are not good, the Ontario government set the salaries and retroactive amounts for each board, and while we had the option to take less than mandated, it would not have meant more money for other projects. The trust- ees of the Durham District School Board have worked very hard for 10 years with- out an increase and we thank the government for finally recognizing $5,000 is simply not adequate. Yvonne Forbes Did not respond. Wards 3 and 4 Gregory Ansley I did not vote in favour of increasing trustee salary since I was not on the board, or the retroactive raise. All things considered, Durham Region is the fastest grow- ing community in all of On- tario. As such, there should not be an ultimatum posed to either raise salaries or get textbooks since the region needs more money in gen- eral for things like subsi- dizing regional bus passes (which I am a huge advo- cate for), school books, and more school staff. As for the salary being increased from $5,000 to $16,451, trustees were making more than twice the new salary in some districts before a pre- vious Conservative govern- ment cut the salary across Ontario, to an arbitrary number of $5,000. I don’t think we should be making any cuts to Durham’s edu- cation system, we should be heavily advocating for more money from the Ontario government for classroom resources, schools, and stu- dent support systems. Lisa Hill (incumbent) Did not respond. PICKERING Paul Crawford, public board incumbent I did not participate in the vote because I believe it is a conflict of interest for any elected person to vote for their own remuneration. I do agree board members deserve an increase, prom- ised by the Ontario govern- ment. It does not take away from any items mentioned or within our recently passed budget. It was not appropriate for the Ontario government to pass this off to board members to vote on. They set the amounts and could do so without in- volving us. To do it on the eve of an election was bad timing, especially when the date was supposed to be at least one year ago. Craig Fairclough, public board I did not vote for an in- crease in trustee salary or retroactive pay because I was not part of the citizens committee established by the director of education to make this decision. If this money can be better spent for the better of students and school board staff, then I am in favour of that. Chris Braney, public board I’m a candidate for trustee and didn’t have the oppor- tunity to vote on this issue. When I served as a trustee previously with the Scarbor- ough Board of Education, I championed a motion to cut trustee salaries and put the funds directly back into the classroom. With two young daughters attending school in the Durham Dis- trict School Board, I’m well aware of the resources they require to succeed. This retroactive raise could have been put to better use for our students and schools. Paul Pryce, public board As a candidate, I did not have a vote on either issue. I do believe however, this should have been decided by the provincial govern- ment and not put on trust- ees. It was the Harris gov- ernment who changed the salary to its previous level and it should be the cur- rent government to make any future adjustments. In terms of the retroactive payment, they should have voted against it as I would have. In terms of funding for school texts and buses, I agree 100 per cent that we need to find the funds to provide these as they are essential to the needs of our students and their educa- tion. Sherry Croteau, public board incumbent My vote regarding trustee salaries was in favour of the motion. As watchdogs of a $545 million annual budget, trustees bear a huge respon- sibility which most fulfil in the off-hours of their day jobs. An increase in com- pensation will permit many trustees to focus more time on this very important job, benefiting students in Dur- ham and Ontario. School board trustees are the low- est paid elected officials and the only ones who have no control or say over their compensation levels; all as- pects regarding this are set by the province. Carlton Wright, public board Did not respond. Paul Bannister, Catholic board incumbent Rather than vote against the motions, I declared a conflict of interest and took no part in the vote or de- bate on the issue. This path best expressed my view that trustees should not be set- ting their own salary. (Mr. Bannister has said he would give the net increase back to students as part of a cam- paign promise). However, I’m an optimist, and all events that occur, positive or negative, offer opportu- nity. Gerry Downes, Catholic board I had no vote as to the trustees’ salary increase, nor, its retroactivity. In real- ity, the trustees’ remunera- tion is relatively little, just about minimum wage. As to spending on books etc., from experience, each year more books are being pur- chased to accommodate the students. As for school staff, they should be hired at a rate in comparative ratio to the student popula- tion of each school. Also, in Pickering, the student’s SAC card acts as a bus pass, which provides them free access to public transporta- tion to and from school. In light of the above notes, in this case, the honorarium provided is justified. Jim McCafferty, Catholic board incumbent Did not respond. */463"/$&'*/"/$*"- '*345%63)".

Laura Steffler, of Whitby, won gold in the 67-kilogram class, while Joel God- ding, of Ajax, captured bronze in the 68-kilogram weight class in his first tour- nament. Both athletes, as well as other Team Impact wrestlers are expected to compete at their own Toronto Open Se- nior Wrestling Tournament at Ajax High School on Saturday, Nov. 11, starting at 9:30 a.m. [ Hockey ] Pickering teen named goaltender of the month PICKERING — Former Pickering Panthers netminder Ryan Daniels, now with the Saginaw Spirit, claimed goalten- der of the month honours in the Ontario Hockey League for October. Daniels, 18, posted a 9-1-0 record, along with a 2.38 goals against average and .928 save percent- age in 10 games. A fifth-round pick of the Ot- tawa Senators in 2006, Daniels currently leads the OHL with 11 victories this season. He helped the Spirit climb into a first-place tie with the Barrie Colts for the most points in the league. “We are thrilled for this honour for Ryan,” stated Bob Mancini, the Spirit’s head coach and general manager, in a press release. “There is no doubt that when he is on the top of his game, he is one of the best goaltenders in the league.” Daniels is currently ranked seventh in the league for goals against average (3.11), ninth in save percentage (.907) and tied for first in total wins (11). Coincidentally, Daniels was also the OHL’s goaltender of the month for Octo- ber, 2005. [ Basketball ] Dickson’s Rowe past Burgundy AJAX — A well-balanced offence propelled Dickson Printing past the Burgundy team in Ajax Men’s Basketball League action last Wednesday night. Greg Rowe led the way for Dickson Printing with 16 points in its 58-51 vic- tory. Roger Young and Gord Brown each added 15 for Dickson’s. Sherwin James held the hot hand for Burgundy, leading all scorers with 23 points, assisted by Gregg McGuire who knocked down nine. ESN Packaging had its hands full with the Blue team in the second game, pulling out a 60-54 victory in the final minute of play. David Jackson led the way for ESN with 15 points; captain Clay- ton Gall threw down 12. Louis Davis’s 21 points led all scor- ers, while captain Luke Luukkonen and Don McEachern added 11 and 10 points, respectively, for Blue. Top Shelf continued its winning ways, downing North Alliance Press 46- 41 in the final matchup of the evening. Antonio Krupl had a solid game for Top Shelf with 16 points. Rookie Rob Hare contributed 10. Big man Claude Feig led NAP with 10 points. Newcomer Stephen Pounder netted eight. [ Golf ] Hole-in-one for Ajax senior AJAX — An avid Ajax golfer hit the shot of his life to record one of the rare feats on the links -- a hole-in-one. Tom Watt, 70, hit the shot on Mon- day while playing at Spring Creek Golf Course in Myrtle. It occurred on the par 3 fourth hole that runs 117 yards. He hit the shot using a 4-wood. It was wit- nessed by friend Bob Eberle. Wa tt’s ace wasn’t the only one this season. Former News Advertiser staffer To ny Te dford and wife Liz each ac- complished the rare feat on successive weeks while golfing at Whispering Ridge in Whitby earlier this summer. Ryan Daniels News Advertiser file photo Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cougars’ senior football head coach Brian Hughes converses with players during one of many Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) league games he’s coached over the years. Hughes was the recent recipient of the Leo Cahill Award for coaching excellence among GTA high school football coaches. The retired principal received the award, complete with a $10,000 cheque, at a recent Toronto Argonauts game. The money will be used to enhance the football program at the north Ajax school. Ajax coach captures Cahill award Hughes also gets $10,000 bursary, hopes to put junior football team on the field at Notre Dame By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — As a Toronto Argonauts’ season ticket holder, Brian Hughes has seen a lot of Canadian Football League games. But, on one recent Saturday evening during a game between the Argos and Montreal Alouettes at Toronto’s Rogers Centre, it was a special night indeed for the longtime high school football coach, official and fan of the game. Joined by his wife, Sandra, Hughes, 58, the head coach of the Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cougars senior football team, was honoured by the Argos as the recipient of the 3rd Annual Leo Cahill Award for Coaching Excellence. Named for the legendary and longtime coach of the Argos and co-sponsored by the Siemens com- pany, the award is presented annually to a high school football coach within the Greater Toronto Area who best exhibits the drive and determination necessary to succeed both on and off the playing field. Along with the recognition, Hughes also received a $10,000 bursary, which will go toward enhancing the football program at Notre Dame. For Hughes, a retired principal at Notre Dame and a longtime Durham educator, it was an extraordinary expe- rience to be feted with the award. “A delight and a surprise obviously. As I’ve told other people to be selected among 30 candidates from an area west to Oakville north to Barrie and east to Oshawa and have a commit- tee of football people select you and receive an award in the name of Leo Cahill really is an honour,” says the Port Perry resident. Hughes says the entire evening at the Argo game was magical. Prior to going down to field level at half time to receive the award, he was high atop the dome in the radio booth being in- terviewed by longtime football broad- caster Peter Martin. “It was all very interesting, a once- in-a-lifetime experience,” he enthus- es, adding that carrying a 5-by-3-foot cheque into the stands after the cer- emony also elicited a few stares. On the night of receiving the award, he notes a number of his Notre Dame players, along with team coaches and Notre Dame principal Michael Bak made the trip to Toronto to witness the half-time ceremony. Hughes has been involved in coach- ing high school football since 1972, starting at De La Salle College in To- ronto, but he eventually stepped down from coaching to work in the adminis- trative end of education at the school. The Montreal native eventually resur- faced as a coach with the Pickering Dolphins minor football organization. He coached the fledgling senior team at Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catho- lic High School in Ajax in the early ’90s, but left coaching in order to be an administrator at the school. He moved back into coaching at Notre Dame in 2002 after his retirement. He started officiating football games in the late ’80s and has continued to referee in the GTA. ‘A delight and a surprise, obviously...to receive an award in the name of Leo Cahill really is an honour’ BRIAN HUGHES Over the years as a coach, Hughes has made the experience of playing football greater for his players by ar- ranging educational trips to coincide with the game. He’s taken teams to Montreal and Buffalo and, this year, took his Notre Dame team to Canton, Ohio to visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame, as well as to play a local Canton team. In the spring, Hughes plans to take the Notre Dame senior football team, along with others from within the school, to Louisiana where they’ll help with the reconstruction efforts left in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Hughes gives credit to a host of peo- ple who’ve been instrumental in help- ing Notre Dame get its football pro- gram off the ground in 2002. He noted John and David Dulny, Tom Partlow and Clive Deonarine have been instru- mental over the years on the coaching staff. He’s also proud of having several of his Notre Dame players move on to play major roles on Canadian uni- versity teams over the past four years. Among those players who’ve gradu- ated to university football programs are Matt D’Sousa (U. of Toronto), Ryan Bell and Andrew Bigioni (Ottawa), Akeem Foster (St. Francis Xavier) and Andrew Collymore (Concordia). As for the $10,000, Hughes and principal Mike Bak have mused about using the money to buy equipment to put a junior team on the field at Notre Dame next season. “We’ll get through this season and then I’ll sit down (with Mike Bak) and do inventory and see what we could use, but most likely we’ll put a junior football team on the field,” he says. Mostly, though, Hughes says he plans to continue to coach at the north Ajax school into the future. “That’s my long-term goal. I have enough energy in me so far. Thank- fully, I have a wife who’s understand- ing and allows me to do it.” Debbie Stobbart photo Ajax-Pickering Dolphins’ running back Shaq Lawrence attempts to shed a Scarborough Thunder tackler during Central Ontario Minor Football League atom semifinal action at Kinsmen Park in Pickering on Sunday.

The Panthers (12-6-2-0, third in South Conference) will go into to- night’s OHA Ontario Provincial Ju- nior ‘A’ Hockey League contest at the Pickering Recreation Complex (7:30 p.m.) with a markedly different line- up than the one that dropped three previous regular-season contests to St. Mike’s (18-3-3-0). The Panthers have added more de- fensive help since those losses in the form of standout goaltender Brad Fogal and veteran rearguard Kory Helowka, both of whom have been major contributors in Pickering’s re- surgence of late. Those two, along with forward Greg Payne, came over in the blockbuster trade with the Newmarket Hurricanes last month. As well, the Panthers also got back veteran forwards Cody Smith and Phil McIlhone from the Ontario Hockey League ranks for another go-round with the club. Smith, formerly of the Brampton Battalion, and McIlhone, a former Oshawa General, have also played solid roles in the Panthers successes of late. McIlhone has con- tributed 16 points in 10 games back with the club, while Smith has four points in the three games since re- joining the team. Panthers’ head coach Pat Curcio leaves no doubt the Buzzers repre- sent the ultimate test for his club. “We know St. Mike’s will be well-prepared and they’ll have their kids back from the Cana- dian champion- ships. Our kids know we have to play well on our end of the ice. With a fast-skat- ing team like St. Mike’s those sorts of things win hockey games. We want to focus on what we need to do to win. “We’re going to see where we’re at against the best team in the confer- ence and arguably the best (tier II) junior team in Canada. We’ll find out. We’re just past the quarter mark in the season, so it will be a good test for us.” Right now, says Curcio, the Pan- thers confi- dence is sky- high after they added their 11th and 12th win of the sea- son against a strong Vaughan Vipers squad in a home-and- home set last weekend. Both games needed overtime to settle the issue, with the Panthers winning 3-2 Friday in Pickering, and 2-1 in Va ughan on Saturday. On Saturday night in Vaughan, Curcio noted the Panthers’ penalty killing was chiefly responsible for the narrow victory. In fact, at one point in the game, Pickering killed off 14 consecutive penalties. “The penalty killing was unbeliev- able,” he says. “In my whole pro ca- reer I don’t recall a game where a team got 14 straight power plays and we got none.” One of the Pickering penalties came late in the third period. And, after killing it off, Curcio says the mo- mentum definitely swung in the Pan- thers’ favour for the overtime frame. “After we killed it off, I told the guys ‘You’ve worked so hard. You’re not killing (penalties) now, so go out and win a hockey game’. Truly, the penalty killing has been phenomenal over the last couple of games.” And win they did, thanks to de- fenceman Zack Fenwick, who notched the overtime winner during the five-minute 4-on-4 session. On Friday night, the hero was an- other defenceman, Helowka, who fired the overtime winner, to give the Panthers the victory. Throughout the course of the week- end, the X-factor has been the con- tinued strong goaltending of Fogal, who’s been simply outstanding since the Oct. 16 trade. And, for Curcio, having a netminder of Fogal’s calibre has been a major boost for the team over the past month. “He’s a great leader and communi- cator. He brings so many intangibles to the hockey club. Every team which has ever won has a goaltender who’s confident and capable. I think he’s the best in the league,” says Curcio. After tonight’s game, the Panthers play three games in three days, start- ing Friday at the complex against the Durham Fury at 7:30 p.m. On Saturday, the Panthers are in Ajax to play the Attack at 3 p.m. and on Sunday, they’re in Toronto against St. Michael’s at 7 p.m. SCORING SUMMARIES Panthers at Vaughan Vipers Saturday, Nov. 4 Period 1 Pickering - Richard Schofield (PP) (Phil McIlhone, Zack Fenwick) 5:31 Period 2 Vaughan - Martin Lee (Jeff Tervit, Angelo Asaro) 13:41 Period 3 (no scoring) Overtime Pickering - Fenwick (Brett Connolly) 1:37 POWER PLAYS Pickering: 1-for-6; Vaughan 0-for-10 PENALTY TOTALS Pickering: 32 minutes on 13 infractions Vaughan: 15 minutes on 7 infractions SHOTS ON GOAL Vaughan: 41; Pickering: 27 GOALTENDERS Pickering: Brad Fogal (win) Vaughan: Andrew Martin (loss) Vaughan Vipers at Panthers Friday, Nov. 3 Period 1 Vaughan - Paul Rodrigues (PP) (Richard Duncan, Robyn Sertic) 8:30 Vaughan - Rodrigues (PP) (Trevor Waddell, Danko Mironovic) 14:26 Period 2 (no scoring) Period 3 Pickering - Michael Banwell (Cody Smith, Brad Fleishman) 1:38 Pickering - Phil McIlhone (Smith, Josh Booth) 3:08 Overtime Pickering - Kory Helowka (PP) (Greg Riggs) 1:50 POWERPLAYS Vaughan: 2-for-7 : Pickering: 1-for-11 PENALTY TOTALS Vaughan: 30 minutes on 11 infractions Pickering: 18 minutes on 9 infractions SHOTS ON GOAL Pickering: 445; Vaughan: 30 GOALTENDERS Pickering: Brad Fogal (win) Vaughan: Andrew Martin (loss).

PAGE B3 ◆ NEWS A DVERTISER ◆ November 8, 2006 A/P Little Rocks take over the pebbled ice of Annandale Ajax-based club hosts the younger set for bonspiel By Jim Easson Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — An Annandale rink climbed to the top of the rock pile at the Little Rocks Bonspiel at the Ajax curling club on Saturday. The ’spiel was full with 16 teams of Little rocker rinks taking to the pebbled ice -- 10 representing An- nandale and another six out-of-town rinks. Two teams each travelled from Bayview, Tam Heather and Uxbridge clubs. The Annandale team of Tamra Barriault, Olivia Isaacs, Emily Flett and Katie Parker claimed top spot. Second-place went to the Bayview Curling Club rink of Kim D’Aoust, An- drew Bradley, James Harris, and Katie Comper. Another Annandale team of Christopher Hawke, Robert Matteau, Brandon Moe and Matt McConnel finished third. Regardless of placement, all com- petitors won a prize. Convener April Risto noted the event was a huge success thanks to great curlers and to the many help- ing hands who volunteered their time during the day-long event. ••• Annandale’s junior men’s team of Tim March, Matt Pyne, Patrick Jans- sen and Tyler Anderson is sitting on top of the Ontario Junior Curling Tour ranking. The foursome won the Lon- don Junior Cash Spiel late last month and collected $1,200. Lesley Pyne skipped the Annan- dale team of Stacey Hogan, Leahanne Legrow and Jackie Clarke in the junior women’s event and were runner-ups in the main event, collecting $700. The Ontario Junior Curling Tour is a collection of the top junior curling events in the province, working to- gether to improve the junior curling experience. ••• The Ontario Curling Association’s junior playdowns -- the Pepsi junior men’s and women’s zone competition -- start in Port Perry this weekend. Two teams are entered for Annan- dale in the junior men’s event. Tim March skips one entry, with team- mates Matt Pyne, Patrick Janssen and Tyler Anderson. Michael Bryson skips the other entry, along with Wesley Forget, Emmett Murphy and Sandy Martin. Annandale also has two junior women’s entries. Lesley Pyne skips the team of Stacey Hogan, Leahanne Legrow and Jackie Clarke. Meanwhile, Chantal Lalonde teams up with Tracy O’Leary, Renee Lalonde and Jennifer Smith. Two winners in each of the men’s and women’s double-knockout events advance to the regionals at St. George’s Golf and Curling Club on Nov. 25 and 26. The Ontario junior men’s and wom- en’s finals are in Brockville in January, and the M&M Canadian Juniors are in St. Catharines in February. ••• The first Mixed Skins Bonspiel has been cancelled, due to insufficient entries. The event was to have taken place on Nov. 11 and 12. Convener Ray Sanford said he has competed in such an event previously and had a great deal of fun. ••• Pickering Olympian Richard Hart and his teammates with the Glenn Howard rink had another big payday on the rink in Brantford last week- end. A week after earning $15,000 at the Meyers Norris Penny Prairie Clas- sic Competition in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, the Howard rink compet- ed at the Tim Hortons Invitational Classic, which came complete with a $35,000 purse. The rink’s run of good fortune ended in the semifinal game with a loss. Howard and company did pick up $4,000 for their efforts. Next, they head to Lloydminster, Alberta to compete in the 2006 Best Western Wayside Inn Curling Classic this weekend, Nov. 10 to 13. The win- ning rink takes home $22,000 of the $75,000 purse. A.J.

Lig htning white hot at Fire on Ice tourney Durham West midgets down Ithaca, New York in Rochester final DURHAM — The Durham West Lightning midget ‘BB’ girls’ hockey team sizzled at the Rochester Fire on Ice Tournament last weekend. In the final, the Lightning edged the Ithaca (New York) Shooting Stars 2-1 for the championship. Leanne Tilley’s goal early in the final pe- riod, off an assist by Nikki Akai, se- cured the victory. Caleigh Campbell, with an assist to Samantha Michlits, scored the other Lightning goal. Durham West had an easier time with the Ithaca Shooting Stars during the round-robin portion of the tour- nament, skating to a solid 4-1 victory. Morgan Gerrie, Erin Gorman, Ashley Brifoglio and Tilley scored, with as- sists going to Campbell and Kyla Bat- ten. In Game 2, the Lightning midgets skated to a 2-2 tie against Team Pitts- burgh. Gerrie and Kristen Poirier scored, assisted by Michelle Lovering and Tilley. Durham West extinguished the Ohio Phantom Flames 4-1 in Game 1. Tasha Akai, Sloane Stephenson, Nikki Akai and Lovering scored for the Lightning. Gerrie recorded two assists, Brifoglio, Tasha Akai, Tilley and Michlits added one apiece. The Lightning’s success at the U.S. tournament was due largely to the goaltending tandem of Megan Marubashi and Chantelle Caissie and the defensive support of Saman- tha Pegler, Shelly Ilott and Stephanie Wood. The Rochester title was the second for the Lightning midgets this sea- son. They captured the Oshawa Fall Classic title last month. Paul Marubashi, Gary Akai and Rod Campbell coach the team. Submitted photo The Ajax Knights novices captured the Pickering ‘AA’ Tournament crown recently. AJAX — The Ajax Knights novice ‘A A’ r ep hockey team went undefeated throughout the Pickering ‘AA’ Tourna- ment on their way to its first tournament victory of the season. In the final, the Knights earned a con- vincing 4-0 shutout victory over Peter- borough. Goaltender Robert Dancey recorded the shutout. Ryan Smith paced the attack with two goals; Hayden Brown and Eric O’Reilly recorded one apiece. Ky le Gentles, Cameron Murphy and Eric O’Reilly added assists. Ajax met division leaders, the Markham Waxers, in the semifinal tilt. The Knights posted a comfortable 6-2 win. Murphy led the scoring parade with a hat trick; Matthew Mawby, Tyler Kemp and Brown had one apiece. Gentles and Murphy added two assists apiece. Goalie Mitchell Saunders frustrated the Waxers forwards to record the win. The Knights started with a 5-5 tie with division rival Peterborough. Murphy netted a hat trick; Kemp and Bryce Keats added the others. Murphy, Kemp and Keats earned assists on all five markers. Next, the Ajacians earned a 4-0 de- cision over Tecumseh. O’Reilly scored twice, with singles to Murphy and Brown. Cameron and Brown each added an as- sist. Saunders registered the shutout. In the final round-robin game, the Ajax novices posted a 3-1 win over Geor- gina in a well-played game. O’Reilly, Daniel Berube and Keats scored. Chris- tian Tsukamoto and Murphy had assists. Dancey posted a strong effort in the net. The tournament was a team effort with Murphy, Brown, Berube and Brady Koopmans earning most valuable player awards for each game and Gentles the recipient of the tournament MVP award. Other team members are Barry Lea- then, Alexander Nelson, Kyle Bayer and Nicholas Tierney.

Award Winning Annual PAGE B4 ◆ NEWS A DVERTISER ◆ November 8, 2006A/P Actresses rediscover magic of ‘Aladdin’ ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT durhamregion.com Pickering entertainers Gray, Palmer involved in beloved production for a second time By Marva Palmer Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — Career ex- perts suggest that you turn your passion into a career and that’s what Alison J. Palmer and Brit- tany Gray have done. The Pickering residents are currently in rehearsal for ‘Alad- din: The Magical Family Musi- cal’. The women didn’t take the same route to the entertain- ment world. Palmer, a self-de- scribed nerd, was an athlete throughout her academic ca- reer. She discovered entertain- ing while in university. Gray has been dancing since she age three. Palmer’s first jobs were on cruise ships and she couldn’t believe she was being paid to sing and dance. She’s dance captain and the understudy for ‘Sheherazade’ in ‘Aladdin.’ The dance captain has to maintain the quality the creative team has established for the show and know what everyone does. “O nce we leave and go on tour I’m pretty much in charge of staging,” she says. Brittany Gray has already been part of some blockbuster shows, including ‘Chicago’ (the movie) ‘the Producers’, and ‘Das Rhiengold’. She is part of the ensemble in ‘Aladdin’. Gray said performing is what she’s always wanted to do. For a brief period, though, she had some doubts, so she studied makeup artistry. The period of doubt soon passed. “Nothing makes me feel as happy as this (performing). I’m passionate about the arts. Hopefully, (I’m) always per- forming, but if not, I’ll teach,” she said. Gray occasionally teach- es dancing and acting in Pickering. Both actors agree that disap- pointments can be devastating. “There’re going to be static times. That’s when you really find out your character and whether you’re really meant to be in this industry or not. You have to have thick skin,” said Gray. “There’s no guarantee, ever, so you can never stop training and you can never stop work- ing hard,” Palmer emphasized. It’s during the down time that they continue to hone their skills or explore new interests. During one such period, Palm- er returned to university and earned her teaching certificate and is a supply teacher. Both Gray and Palmer said they’re happy to be part of the cast of ‘Aladdin’ for the second time. Palmer describes it as “ex- treme job plus, with a bonus” because this time the company will tour Canada. ‘A laddin: The Magical Family Musical’ opens in Vancouver on Nov. 7. It plays in Toronto from Dec. 7 until Christmas Eve. You can also catch the show in Ottawa from Boxing Day until New Year’s Eve. Theatrical offering not exactly ‘My Three Sons’ for the stage Psychological thriller ‘a number’ newest Durham Shoestring Performers’ play By Christy Chase Staff Editor DURHAM — The season opener for Durham Shoestring Performers really does a num- ber on fathers and sons. ‘a number’, by Caryl Churchill, is a two-actor play about a dad and three sons. But ‘My Three Sons’, this isn’t. No, this is a psy- chological thriller, a whodunit of a different sort by a British playwright known for tackling big issues with honesty. At the play’s core are Salter, a rather reticent father, and his sons. Salter and Bernard have been estranged since Bernard’s childhood. Bernard has just discovered that, while he’s his father’s “original” son, he’s not the only one. Turns out there are copies, said director Murray Twist. The two other sons in the story are clones. “The number in the title re- fers to the fact that there are a number of others,” Twist said. Talk about an extended fam- ily. But cloning is an inciden- tal issue here as the play deals more with the relationships of fathers and sons, with identity, genetics and personality, Twist said. “The action of the play is es- sentially five conversations be- tween the father and his three middle-aged sons. The theme of the play is really about examin- ing formulation of personality, how personality and character are created by looking at people who are genetically identical.” The estranged son, Ber- nard, 40, wants to know about his father and the other sons. The second, also Bernard and younger than the first Bernard, is a clone and has grown up with the father, while the third has grown up unknown to Salter. “The whole thing is a result of some cloning having been done 35 years before,” Twist said. “It’s a process of uncovering the truth of what took place 35 years ago and the father being confronted with it, with his ac- tions and the actions of others beyond his control. “The original son came back to confront him. The second son is trying to get out of him what happened.” As is the third. Playing Salter and sons are two newcomers to Durham stages. Robert Bennett plays Salter. Peter Frieday plays all three sons. Both are from Os- hawa. “They are doing very well,” Twist said. And that’s saying something for a play which has no stage direction and no punctuation in the script. “It’s just pure dialogue with an absence of punctuation,” Twist said. “There’s been a lot of text analysis. It’s what I call leading edge contemporary drama. It’s a real challenge to realize this play, to take it from the page to embody it. It’s been a very col- laborative process.” Off stage, there are events that shape the play but the audience learns of this only through the characters, very much like an ancient Greek drama, Twist said. “It borders on tragedy but it also borders on the absurd.” The play is short, just one hour in length. It opens Nov. 3 and runs Nov. 4, 8, 9, 10, 11 at 8 p.m. at the Arts Resource Centre, 45 Queen St., Oshawa, behind City Hall. Tick- ets are $10, available through United Way Information Ser- vices kiosk, Oshawa Centre, or from www.durhamshoestring. org. 1900 DIXIE RD.

By that afternoon, the Canadian corps had taken the two frontlines. Within four days the entire ridge was under Allied control. When Hill 145, the highest feature on the ridge, fell, the operation was considered a resounding success. The ridge remained in Allied hands for the duration of the war. However, despite the victory, more than 11,000 Canadian troops and 150,000 French troops died during that battle, soldiers who are immortalized at the Vimy Ridge Memorial, situated on 100 hectares of land, which were given to Canada by France in 1922 in gratitude for sacrifi ces made by Canada in the First World War and for the victory achieved by Canadian troops in capturing Vimy Ridge in April 1917 Designed by late Canadian architect and sculptor Walter Seymour Allward.

It stands as a tribute to all who served their country in that four-year struggle and particularly to those who gave their lives. At the base of the memorial, the following statement, in both English and French appears to honour those who gave their lives: To the valour of their Countrymen in the Great War And in memory of their sixty Thousand dead this monument Is raised by the people of Canada Also inscribed on the monument are 11,285 names of Canadian soldiers who were posted missing and presumed dead during The First World War in France. To Canadians, the name Vimy Ridge is very meaningful historically. The success of the attack, which resulted from detailed planning and a variety of innovative tactics which were in stark contrast to what had happened at the Somme only months earlier, sealed the reputation of the Canadians as among the fi nest troops on the western front, and was a turning point for Allied forces. April 9 2007, marks the 90th anniversary of the battle of Vimy Ridge, which was one of the opening battles in a larger British campaign known as the Battle of Arras, and is also considered a seminal event in Canadian history for the key role Canadian forces played in the attack. On that day hundreds of Canadian students will attend the memorial service to mark the anniversary of the battle that changed the course of the First World War, and will embark on a historic “Return to Vimy - 90th Anniversary Birth of a Nation Tour” to celebrate the restoration and re- dedication of the Vimy Ridge Memorial in Fr ance. According to History.ca, the students will attend the Vimy memorial service wearing a replica World War One Canada uniform shirt with the name of a Canadian soldier who died during the battle and will represent the brave young Canadians of 1917 on behalf of today’s youth of Canada, as well as submitting a personal tribute to a “We Remember Memorial Capsule” to be enshrined at the site and will visit the surrounding grave-sites of the Canadian soldiers. The battle at Vimy Ridge is one not to be forgotten, nor should those who fought for freedom. 06 In Honour of Remembrance Day Join us Saturday, November 11th at 10:30 am in the Esplanade Park, City Hall as we recognize the achievements and sacrifices of those who have served and died for Canada in the struggle for worldwide peace. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 606 and The Corporation of the City of Pickering would like to express their support and appreciation to our Canadian Veterans.

During the fi rst half of this century, some 1.5 million Canadians were called upon to defend peace and freedom around the world during the First World War, the Second World War and the Korean War. More than 110,000 Canadians lost their lives. Following these confl icts, Canada began looking for ways to prevent wars. Contemporary peacekeeping is a natural extension of Canada’s longstanding commitment to the principles of peace and freedom. Following the Second World War, Canada was involved in military observer missions in the late 1940s, particularly during the Arab-Israeli and the India-Pakistan confl icts. From 1950 to 1953, Canada joined other U.N. countries to resist aggression during the Korean War. However, it wasn’t until 1956 that the term ‘peacekeeping’ entered the popular vocabulary, thanks to a Canadian. During the Suez Crisis of 1956, Secretary of State for External Affairs Lester B. Pearson — later Canada’s 14th Prime Minister — proposed that a multinational U.N. peacekeeping force be sent to the Suez to separate the warring parties. For his visionary Veterans Affairs Canada: www.vac-acc.gc.ca Royal Canadian Legion Branch 322 Ajax Freedom through Veterans ACCETTONE FUNERAL HOME “Family owned & operated” 905-428-9090 ~ 384 Finley Ave., Ajax Dino Accettone “We cherish our freedom and thank the Veterans and Armed Forces” 06 idea, Mr. Pearson was awarded the 1957 Nobel Peace Prize. Peacekeepers are traditionally placed between hostile forces to supervise cease- fi res and the withdrawal of opposing forces. In recent years, the role of peacekeepers has expanded to include the delivery of humanitarian aid, the supervision of elections, the repatriation of refugees, the disarming of warring factions and the reclamation of shattered landscapes through the clearing of mines, etc. Another increasingly important aspect of peacekeeping is support for stable government and human rights, including the organization of electoral systems, and the training of police forces and the judiciary. These new peacekeeping activities now involve many Canadian civilians, in addition to the Canadian Armed Forces. Canada is one of a handful of nations to which the United Nations can regularly turn to obtain peacekeeping advice and expert peacekeepers. Canada has participated in the overwhelming majority of peacekeeping operations mandated by the United Nations Security Council. Tens of thousands of Canadians have served in more than 40 separate peacekeeping missions. But Canada’s contribution to peacekeeping is not without risk: more 100 Canadians have died in peacekeeping operations and hundreds more have been wounded. In 1988, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded collectively to U.N. peacekeepers in recognition of their historic efforts to limit violence and promote peace. Canada has always been one of the world’s most committed peacekeeping nations. In a small way, every Canadian can share in the honour the Nobel Prize confers on the peacekeepers of the world, including our own. Each year, Canada marks Veterans’ Week from November 5 to 11. Veterans’ Week is a time to honour and remember those who served Canada in times of war, military confl ict and peace. It is also a time to teach our youth about remembrance. Throughout the week, commemorative events and activities will be held in communities all across Canada, including a Remembrance Day Concert on Sunday, Nov. 5 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Heritage United Church in Whitevale, Reading and Remembrance 2006, a provincial project where students across the province simultaneously honour veterans and show the importance of reading and remembering why wars are fought, as well as Remembrance Day Service and Observance which begins at 10:30 a.m. at the Pickering Civic Complex and Esplanade Park.
