The man was taken to a Toronto hos- pital with smoke inhalation. He’s since been transferred back to the Rouge Va lley Ajax and Pickering hospital. The blaze began just be- fore 8 a.m. in a woodworking shop, Pickering Fire Chief Bill Douglas said. Chief Douglas said on Tuesday morning the fire was still smouldering and the investigation into the cause hadn’t started. A damage estimate hadn’t been established, he noted, “but it’s going to be huge. Seven units had damage. There’s a lot of smoke and water dam- age.” He didn’t know what was in some of the units, so that could in- crease the damage estimate. The unit mostly affected was a woodworking shop, with some of it used for storage. The roof of the affected unit collapsed and a wall buckled during the fire. “We have lot of work to do before we get around to the cause and damage,” the chief stated.

Pipes of the future prove to be a bust Failing water connections could cost Region $75 million By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — Failing water service connections across the Region could end up costing Durham $75 million. The problem is polybutylene pipes used to bring water into about 25,000 locations in the region. “It is a big problem for us,” said Cliff Curtis, the Region’s commissioner of public works. Polybutylene piping systems, intro- duced in the late 1970s, were once viewed as the pipe of the future and were used as a substitute for tradi- tional copper piping. “It looked like a good product at the time,” Mr. Curtis said. “Fairly quickly we realized we had some problems with it. They have been banned for quite some time now.” He explained the Region realized in the late 1980s the product was inferior and disallowed it in new construction. “The plastic is a little flexible,” Mr. Curtis said. “They will creep or pull apart.” The creeping occurs at the fitting that goes into the water main as well as at the property line at the front of the house where the shut off valve is, Mr. Curtis said. The first visible sign there is a leak is when water starts to bubble to the surface, he said. To r epair the problem they have to cut into the pavement, dig down six to eight feet and replace the fixture. According to Mr. Curtis, the Region is concentrating on replacing the pipes in the areas where there have been failures. Last year it targeted about 100 homes for replacement of the service connections, and they continue to fix, on an individual basis, any that break. The Region contracted out the re- placement of 100 service connections on three streets in south Ajax. Howev- er, Mr. Curtis said the contractor quick- ly realized he had underbid the project and after about 40 replacements they had a mutual parting of ways. Those 100 connections, however, are just a drop in the bucket, according to Mr. Curtis. It is estimated there are about 25,000 throughout the Region. Most of the problems the Region has been seeing are in south Ajax and parts of Oshawa, but the pipe has been used in clusters across Durham. ✦ See Each, Page A3 Photo by Scott MacGregor Firefighters work to revive a Pickering man who was pulled from a burning in- dustrial building Monday morning. ✦ See Damage, Page A3 For more on this story For more on this story SOMETIMES I BELIEVE PEOPLE THINK ELECTRICITY APPEARS MAGICALLY Before I joined OPG I took for granted there would always magically be electricity to run the hospitals, power industries and keep the lights and appliances on at home.

Te rrance “Ben” McColm overreacted when asked about the Mercedes Benz he drove and the dealer plates it bore, Sergeant Cindi Bradley said during testimony at the suspended officer’s trial on charges of possessing stolen vehicles and insurance fraud. Sgt. Bradley recalled an encounter she had with Mr. McColm as the two arrived for a shift at the 19 Division station in Pickering several years ago. She said she had noticed the gold Mercedes and its plates on a number of occasions and was curi- ous when she saw Mr. McColm getting out of it. “I said to him, ‘What’s up with the dealer plates?’” Sgt. Bradley, a Crown witness, said. “He started yelling, ‘I’m allowed to use dealer plates’ and started rhyming off the Highway Traf- fic Act and how you could use dealer plates.” Sgt. Bradley said Mr. McColm’s reaction to a seemingly innocuous inquiry struck her as odd: “The way he responded I found totally offside.” Mr. McColm was charged after an internal investigation into the Mercedes, which first at- tracted a 19 Division officer’s attention because the validation tag on the plates had expired. The officer ran a check on the car and learned it had been stolen. Another stolen vehicle, a Toyota van, was found at Mr. McColm’s Port Perry residence after the investigation began in April 2003. Mr. McColm is also charged with fraud for allegedly filing a false report of the theft of an- other vehicle and its contents. Joselito Abad was charged with possession of that vehicle when it was found at his Mississauga auto repair shop by Durham cops investigating Mr. McColm; he is also standing trial now in Superior Court in Whitby. The trial, in its early stages, has heard testimony from a number of Durham officers who were familiar with Mr. McColm and the car. Constable Ryan Edgar, who worked with Mr. McColm in Pickering and became friends with him, said Mr. McColm had explained the Mer- cedes had been lent to him by a mechanic who was fixing his other car, a Volvo. He said he was “s hocked” to learn the car and the Sienna van were stolen. Const. Edgar said he himself had driven the van while helping Mr. McColm with his move to Port Perry. “It would be crazy for a police officer to drive a stolen vehicle, wouldn’t it?” Mr. McColm’s lawyer, Tom Balka, suggested. “C orrect,” Const. Edgar replied. The trial, presided over by Superior Court Jus- tice David Salmers, continues.

Also, with someone hurt, the fire marshal’s office is called, he added. When fire crews arrived, “it was a fully involved fire. “Our men entered and found one person inside unconscious,” Chief Douglas noted. “They pulled him out and got him breathing.” Fire crews were at the scene all day Monday, including overnight, as “small fires were still flaring up,” he said. As the investigation is just starting, firefighters wanted to “keep everything intact. “We’ll start clearing it out. It’s still smouldering. The roof came down inside, so there’s debris underneath,” he stated. “The outside wall buckled. We’re worried about that coming down on someone.” With the buckled wall, “we’re not happy to send people in like that.” There were explosions inside the unit, but what was causing them won’t be known “until we get in there,” the chief said, adding the cause of the wall buckling is also unknown at present. “We’re not sure if it was the explo- sions until the investigation is com- plete,” he said. Scott MacGregor may have been one of the first people to start work in the industrial park Monday morning. The owner of Highwood Manufac- turing arrived at work, in Unit 144, around 6:30 a.m. An hour later he start- ed smelling smoke. Mr. MacGregor and other workers began checking their machinery to see if a device in their shop was the source. “It was getting smoky,” he stated. “We were trying to figure out what was smoking.” Just after 8 a.m., he went outside and saw smoke billowing out of nearby units. Mr. MacGregor noted the door of the unit next to his was broken down by emergency crews and his shop door “was next.” The spread of the fire was halted, however, and his business suf- fered only minor smoke damage. “It’ll smell like a camp fire for a while; I can live with that,” he said. Mr. MacGregor added workers saw an employee of another unit come out of the smoking building and go back in, but didn’t see him exit again. Be- fore long firefighters dragged the man out of the building and began working on him. Chief Douglas noted the fire travelled along the roof of the building. “There was a membrane that allowed it to go across.” Firefighters also had to ensure the blaze didn’t spread to other units, he stated, noting a “felt membrane” went along the roof. “It crept along and we had to make sure we got it,” Chief Douglas said. “That’s what took so long. We had to make sure after the main fire was out. That’s why we had to check the roof all the way along. It’s a creeping thing, so we had to stop it. We had to use the saws up there.” One car, a black Acura, was being towed away Monday afternoon after the heat from the blaze melted the rear-end of the car. The utilities for the other businesses in the plaza were shut off on Monday. “A ny subdivision built in that time frame could have issues with (the poly- butylene pipes),” Mr. Curtis said. “We are having quite a few failures.” At $3,000 a pop, the replacement program could cost in the area of $75 million. When the pipe breaks, how- ever, and the work has to be done im- mediately, it costs the Region closer to $5,000, noted Mr. Curtis. The money for the replacement program comes from the water portion of the Region’s works budget, so everyone pays to- wards the cost, added Mr. Curtis. He said the failures have not had an effect on property values. ✦ Each from page A1 Each pipe replacement could cost $3,000 AJ Groen/News Advertiser photo Pickering firefighters shoot water into an industrial building during a Monday morning fire.

In all three robberies -- two in Oshawa and a third in Pickering -- two young men armed with a handgun robbed or attempted to rob convenience stores, making off with cash and cigarettes. No one was hurt during the robberies, reported by Dur- ham police Monday. • In the first incident at 7:30 p.m., a clerk working at Jug City on Ritson Road South in Oshawa grabbed a metal bar and chased away two suspects who produced a handgun and demanded cash. The suspects, two black men in their early 20s who had their faces covered, fled and got into separate vehicles. • Less than an hour later at 8:15 p.m., the Super Va- riety store on Ritson Road South was robbed by two young black men, one of whom had a handgun, po- lice said. They fled with cash and cigarettes. • And at 9:45 p.m. an armed holdup occurred at the Kitchen Food Fair store on Bayly Street in Pickering. The suspects, a black man between 18 and 25 and a white man of a similar age, escaped with cigarettes and money. Police are probing the possibility the robberies are related.

Pickering is looking for people to get in- volved through its citizen committees and boards. There are 11 in total, with a deadline to apply by Friday, Nov. 24. City Clerk Debi Bentley said while they welcome back experienced members, they are looking for new voices as well. “We’ve done a new marketing approach this year,” she said. “To try and get new resi- dents and existing residents involved with the community.” The initiative has been successful as she’s received many phone calls and applications. Any Pickering property owner or resident who is 18 or older is eligible to apply. The committees range from the Accessibil- ity Advisory Committee to the Committee of Adjustment to Heritage Pickering to the Public Library Board. Ms. Bentley said the time commitment ranges from committee to committee with Heritage Pickering, the Pickering Museum Village Advisory Committee and the Public Library Board being a few of the busier ones. The positions are volunteer, although the members of the Committee of Adjustment receive a per diem. Those who are interested must submit an application to be reviewed by council, and even members who would like to return must apply. “Everyone is treated the same,” Ms. Bentley said. The term of current committees ends Nov. 30, and council will make the appoint- ments for the next term Jan. 15. This time around the term will be four years after the Province extended the term of council by one year. The committees review applications or policies, as well as submitting recommenda- tions and reports to council, such as the an- nual Accessibility Plan. For more information or to apply, contact Ms. Bentley at 905-420-4660 ext. 2153 or visit www.cityofpickering.com.

NEWS ADVERTISER PAGE A5 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ November 22, 2006 A/P PA GE A6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ NOVEMBER 22, 2006P I t’s getting harder and harder, these days, to find any kind of meaningful rites of pas- sage or ritual in our lives. In olden times a young boy could look forward to his first rifle or his first time sleeping alone on the range with the herd or even his first nervous kiss as entry into manhood. In some southern states all three could happen in the same night, de- pending on how lonely the kid was. But in this insular, overly pro- tective era where it seems we are systematically removing any and all dangers and challenges from the paths of our offspring, how does a young boy know when he has become a man? “Here son... I’ve been saving this for a day like today. I reckon you’re man enough to have it.” “G osh Pa! Your old X-Box con- troller!” Doesn’t quite cut it, does it? That’s why I was more than a lit- tle excited and not a little proud the other day when I walked into a drug store to buy my old- est his first shaving kit. For all of society’s modern neutering, shaving still survives as a pas- sage into manhood. I thought it would be a simple process, buying my son a razor and some blades. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Have you looked at what passes for shav- ing supplies lately? NASA doesn’t have that kind of technology. I wanted, both for nostalgia’s sake and educational purposes, to start him off with something simple. You wouldn’t, after all, put your newly permitted 16- year-old behind the wheel of a Ferrari Testarossa. Of course not. Similarly, I was looking for one of the old single-bladed safety razors to cut his teeth on, so to speak. Teach the lad the basics. Immerse him in the rich lore of shaving history. Maybe share a few “off-colour” shaving stories. Do they have those? But no. The manufacturers of men’s toiletries seem no longer interested in the lore of shav- ing. They’re not even really that interested, as far as I can tell, in providing a clean, close shave, though they take every inch of ad space to tell you so. What they are interested in, appar- ently, is getting you to fork over a handsome wad of cash every month or so for some ridiculous plastic gizmo while tossing your old plastic gizmo into the land- fill. So now, instead of a razor, young men stand in front of a mirror with a thing in their hand that sounds like it might be more at home in Wernher Von Braun’s laboratory. Mach 5, Fusion, M3 Power. Good lord. They have even, in their market- ing delirium, managed to pull the lather so far over our eyes that we are buying a razor that vibrates. What does it say about our generation when we can be in- duced to spend a fair chunk of change for the privilege of hold- ing a shaky razor to our throats? And none of these, by the way, is a shaving kit. They are now shaving systems. No doubt test- ed at zero gravity. At last, the best I could do that day was to come home with a dust-covered package contain- ing a relic that held only three blades. Still, my son, bless him to pieces, couldn’t have been happier. He’s a good man. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Follow Neil’s BLOG drinfo.ca/croneblog.html.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Ward 1 electors voted for, not against, a candidate To the editor: In your informative edito- rial on the results of the Nov. 13 local elections, you gave a well-earned nod of recognition to the 21 years of civil service contributed by Ward 1 Region- al Councillor Maurice Brenner. Yo u will find little dissent with this among the electorate of Ward 1. In my experience, this man was truly a servant of the people he represented- never failing to return a call or to take the time to listen and do his best for the constituents. Any fair assessment of his re- cord by the electorate would allow him that. This includes many of the voters who chose Bonnie Littley on the strength of her clear no-waffling com- mitment to greenbelt protec- tion. Yo ur statement that “it ap- pears voters weren’t willing to take a wait-and-see ap- proach in terms of the fraud charges Mr. Brenner is facing” was questionable journalism by implying a vote driven by mean-spirited prejudice rather than the Canadian standard of judicial fair play- namely, in- nocent until proven guilty. I would give the Ward 1 voters the credit of holding to a higher standard than you ascribe to them. I believe instead they voted for the protection of the greenbelt, not to convict a man who has not yet had his day in court. It was a low blow to Mr. Brenner and to the electorate of Ward 1 to suggest otherwise. Mr. Brenner has my grati- tude for his past service and I wish him well. Ms. Littley has my congratulations and sup- port in her new challenges in the service of the people and protection of our environment. To m Fitzpatrick Pickering Some solutions to address violence To the editor: It is with horror that I read of the recent shooting of five people in Ajax during Hallow- een festivities this year. I am also saddened that this has become so commonplace these days that it caused hardly a blip of reaction in our com- munity and across Canada. To o often in Canada now the attitude seems to be that we only react when it happens in our community and do nothing and take comfort when it is not in our community. If we were truly serious about fixing this problem it would be one of the highest agenda items for each level of government. Sadly, it is more common for each level of government to point the blame and responsibility at every other level of government. We need real solutions to this problem, NOW. We do not need political posturing and endless debate about what to do. We need: an effective way to get illegal weapons off the street; an effective way to re- move people who commit violent crime out of our com- munities (rehabilitated, if pos- sible, but if not, they need to be kept out of our communities); an effective way to stop the brainwashing of our youth that violence is acceptable and an exciting way of life as displayed in the constant bombardment of our media (TV, movies, video games, Internet, etc.). To date, the programs in place across this country have not been sufficient to make events like this one in Ajax the exception rather than the norm. I urge everyone to make this a top issue in every election. Write a letter to all levels of government. Ask all candidates what they plan to do and don’t let them off the hook with pat answers. The next time it could very well happen next door to you.

Energy direction needs serious attention Scrubbers needed for coal-fired plants The recent announcement by Premier Dalton McGuinty that Ontario’s coal-fired power plants will continue to operate until at least 2014, should be cause for alarm, though not for surprise. Anyone who has watched this province’s energy sector closely over the past three years has long since concluded that Mr. Mc- Guinty’s brash claim during the 2003 election campaign that he would shut down Ontario’s coal-fired plants by 2007 was unachiev- able. Mr. McGuinty later pushed the date back to 2009, again a bogus promise, and now 2014 is being targeted. The need for action to try to limit the greenhouse gases produced in such high volume by the coal-fired plants is crucial. That’s why, though it would cost about $1 billion, Mr. McGuinty should order that scrubbers to reduce the greenhouse gases be immediately ap- plied to the coal-fired plants. There has been no effort to take this action until now because the premier was intent on shutting down the plants. Now that they will be open for another seven years, and likely at least half-a-decade longer, the scrubbers are needed. The reason the plants can’t be shut down anytime soon is be- cause Ontario has no new sources of energy supply in the near horizon. All of the studies and planning must be taken before a new set of nuclear reactors can be constructed. The best guess is that the reactors are 10-12 years away. There is a very good chance those reactors will be built next to the current Darlington facility. The Province is also looking to increase alternate sources of power. There is a huge project now underway at Niagara Falls, for instance, to bolster our hydro-electric supply. In addition, plenty of work and investment is coming on solar and wind power. But nuclear will ultimately be the major new source. And it can’t come soon enough. To that end, Ontario Power Generation, which operates reactors in Pickering and Darlington in Durham Region, is having open houses in several locations over the next week. Tonight, OPG will speak about its plans for new nuclear build at the Royal Canadian Legion, 471 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa. On Thursday night, OPG makes its presentation at Newcastle Community Hall, 20 King Ave. W., Newcastle. On Wednesday, Nov. 29, OPG will be at the Orono Town Hall, 5315 Main St., Orono, and on Thursday, Nov. 30, the final presentation takes place at Courtice Community Complex, 2950 Courtice Rd. N., Courtice. All open houses are on from 7-9 p.m. with a formal presentation made at 7:30 p.m. Come on out and ask the questions and seek the answers you want to know on the crucial issue of our energy supply.

FRENCHMAN’S BAY STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MASTER PLAN PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE No. 2 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm, November 30th, 2006 East Shore Community Centre, Room 4 The City of Pickering’s Waterfront Coordinating Committee is committed to seeing the waterfront become a place that achieves a wide range of objectives including public use and recreation, environmental sustainability, enhanced tourism opportunities and commercial links. Pickering’s Council has endorsed the development of a five-year implementation plan for Pickering’s waterfront and Frenchman’s Bay. One of the priority projects identified was the development of a Stormwater Management Master Plan for Frenchman’s Bay and its contributing watersheds. This is to address long-standing concerns regarding the ongoing decline in the quality of the Frenchman’s Bay ecosystem by seeking means to control the quantity and quality of storm runoff entering the local creeks and the Bay itself. The study area is shown on the map below and is available for viewing on the City website at cityofpickering.com. The Plan is being developed by the City in cooperation with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority as a Class Environmental Assessment. We invite you to attend the 2nd Public Information Centre (PIC) to be held at the place and time noted above. The purpose of the PIC is to provide an update on the Plan’s development, to review detailed objectives for the plan and to review a list of potential stormwater management options being considered.

[ Volleyball ] Pickering Trojans capture Durham junior boys’ crown DURHAM — The Pickering High School Trojans junior boys’ volleyball team emerged victorious at the Durham Region championships last Thursday. The Trojans captured the ‘AAAA’ crown after upending the Uxbridge Sec- ondary School Tigers 2-0 (25-19, 25-16) in the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) championship game, hosted at Ajax High School. Caileb Downey-Brown was the Tro- jans’ most valuable player of the final, while Travis Horgan was Uxbridge’s MVP. The other LOSSA volleyball crowns went exclusively to east Durham schools. The senior boys’ ‘AAAA’ title went to the Eastdale CVI Eagles of Oshawa, which defeated the Sinclair Celtics 3-2 (16-25, 25-23, 22-25, 25-19, 15-8) in the final. Ben White was the Eagles’ MVP, while Remy Samanski was the game MVP for the Celtics. In the senior boys’ ‘AAA’ final, the McLaughlin CVI Trojans of Oshawa de- feated the Anderson Raiders of Whitby 3-0 (25-21, 25-19, 25-10). Mike Goulding was the MVP for McLaughlin; John Har- ris was Anderson’s MVP. In the junior boys’ ‘AAA’ final, McLaughlin defeated Anderson 2-0 (25- 18, 25-14). Jordan Holt was named the MVP of the final for McLaughlin; Andrain Denony was the MVP for Anderson. [ Hockey ] Silver Stick set for 18th go-round DURHAM — It may not be bigger, but organizers are hoping the 18th annual Gloria Rints Memorial International Silver Stick hockey tournament is better than ever before. It’s no bigger for a good enough rea- son: it’s difficult to grow upon 112 teams playing 217 games on eight ice surfaces in Whitby over a four-day stretch. As for better, that too will be dif- ficult to accomplish since it has run so smoothly under the guidance of Del Rints. The tournament is named in honour of his wife, Gloria, a long-time community volun- teer who passed away in 1994. One thing is for certain, the tourna- ment will get underway in earnest begin- ning tomorrow at 2 p.m., when the first two games begin at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre. From then until the final champion- ship game is decided Sunday evening, games will be played in seven different divisions: Minor Atom, Minor Peewee and Minor Bantam teams at both the AA and AAA levels, as well as Minor Midget AAA. In addition to Iroquois Park being busy with games all weekend long, the McKin- ney Centre will also be used for games on Thursday and Friday. Eighty of the top teams in North America will participate in the Interna- tional Silver Stick AAA Minor Finals, while 32 others will take part in the AA Minor Silver Stick Regional Tournament, looking to advance to the North American finals in Newmarket Jan. 18-21, 2007. In addition to Whitby teams playing in all seven divisions, there are local entries from Oshawa, Clarington, Pickering, Ajax and Uxbridge. Admission to the tournament is free.

Pickering powers past Wilson Ajax school wins third straight LOSSA senior football title By Brian McNair Staff Editor DURHAM — John Martini was a lot more generous to the Wilson Gators be- fore and after Saturday’s senior football championship, than he was during the game at Civic Stadium. Praising the opposition both pre- and post-game, coach Martini spent the in- terim guiding his Pickering High School Trojans to a dominating 38-0 victory over Whitby’s Gators in the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics ‘A’ final. Nicoli Wellington provided all the necessary offence for the Ajax school, rushing for about 200 yards and three touchdowns, while the defence turned in another efficient effort, completing a playoff stretch in which they allowed nary a point in three games. “I thought it was going to be closer than it turned out to be,” said Martini, who said last week he thought it would be a ‘coin toss’ as to who would win. “I guess our defence came up strong again and our offence played really well.” It was the third straight LOSSA title for the Trojans, who will now try to also de- fend the Metro Bowl championship they won last season. They will play either Huron Heights or Brother Andre from York Region in the semifinals Dec. 1. “Whoever we play is going to be re- ally difficult for us,” Martini says, looking ahead. “We’re not quite as strong as we were last year and the other teams have improved so it’ll be a challenge. I think we’re going to be the underdogs. And it’s going to be nice to be the underdogs because we were the underdogs last year and we came up big.” They came up big on Saturday as well, although it took them a little while to hit full stride. After two unsuccessful Wilson drives, Wellington put Pickering on the board with its second possession, scoring from three yards out with just over three min- utes left in the first quarter. The play before that, he broke free for a 58 yard gain. Wellington was virtually untouch- able before getting a breather late in the game, also scoring on a five yard rush five minutes before halftime and from 29 yards out early in the third. With no official stats being kept, Wellington estimated he gained 175 yards, while Martini had him pegged for about 250. “I think God blessed me with the ability, with some amazing talent,” said Wellington, 18, who will graduate this season. “It all starts off with my O-line, I’d like to thank them a lot. At the begin- ning of the year I was skeptical but every game it improved. I’m pretty happy with my O-line.” In fact, both lines were strong for Pickering, as was just about every play- er on the field, particularly on defence. The size, athleticism and depth of the Pickering roster was simply too much for the Gators, who are playing in just their second year at the senior level and had only 29 players on their roster. “They’re a great football team, a tre- mendous defence,” Wilson head coach Adam Papadakos said of Pickering, where he once coached alongside Mar- tini. “They’ve got a great program and this is what we hope to aspire to. This is our goal for next year now, starting tomorrow.” Wilson nearly made things interesting on the final play of the first half, but a missed pass attempt from Leith Fisken to Dan Shepherd from the five yard line left the score 17-0. After Wellington’s third touchdown early in he second half, Andrew Spence and Mike Wynters added long touch- down runs to close out the scoring. Kicker Jordan McLaughlin had a 22-yard field goal and four extra points in the game. It wasn’t all bad for the Gators Sat- urday, as they claimed their second straight LOSSA junior championship with a 41-12 victory over Brock High School. Quarterback Josh Smith had three touchdowns passes and another on the ground as Wilson built a 35-0 halftime lead before easing up on the pedal. The success of both Wilson teams left both Papadakos and Martini optimistic about the future of football at the Whitby school, which has been in existence just three years now. “This is a phenomenal accomplish- ment this year for our kids. We can’t say enough about the commitment they’ve given us year-round,“ said Papadakos. “We have a great junior program, cham- pions again. We’re certainly going to have more players as we build this pro- gram, without a doubt.” “Where else can you see such an im- provement in three years,” added Marti- ni. “That’s going to be a strong program, a program for the future.” NOTES: Pickering linebacker Dylan Lock was named MVP for the senior season. Nicoli Wellington of the Tro- jans and Jamal Darius of the Gators were named championship game MVPs for their teams... Wilson’s Austin Gi- untoli and Brock’s Jesse Sale were named co-league MVPs in junior. Defen- sive back Jason Hatzes was named championship game MVP for Wilson... The Wilson juniors play at noon today against Peterborough’s Crestwood in the Ontario Bowl quarterfinal at St. Michael’s College in Toronto. If they win, they will play at St. Mike’s again on Sat- urday at noon... Pickering’s Metro Bowl senior semifinal is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Dec. 1 at Esther Shiner Stadium in North York.

No tre Dame Cougars ad vance to Durham girls’ basketball title game Meet Sinclair Celtics in senior ‘AAAA’ final in Whitby tonight AJAX — The Notre Dame Cougars senior girls’ basketball team will play for the Durham Region title tonight (Wednesday). The Cougars suit up against the top-seeded Sin- clair Secondary School Celtics for the Lake On- tario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) ‘AAAA’ championship at the Whitby school at 8 p.m. Notre Dame booked its tick- et for the LOSSA final after scoring a 55-48 semifi- nal victory over the Dunbarton High School Spartans at Dunbarton Mon- day afternoon. Cougars’ head coach Rose Booker says the goal from the outset of the season was to play for an Ontario Federation of School Athletic Asso- ciations (OFSAA) title, and now her Cougars are one game away from that goal. In the semifinal, the Cougars con- tinued to receive strong play at the point guard position from Catherine Bougoulias, notes Booker. “She was just phenomenal. She’s really come into her own and they couldn’t stop her. She was dribbling through everybody,” says Booker. In addition, the Notre Dame Cou- gars received another big-time per- formance from forward Nicholle McKenzie who scored a game-high 26 points. Kim Slack and Rhea Pascal supplied the Cougars with strong rebound- ing and defen- sive play. Simone Thom- as was the lead- ing point getter for the Dunbar- ton Spartans with 13. In the other semifinal game, Sin- clair defeated Ajax’s Pickering High School Trojans 63-39 to advance to the final. Meanwhile, the junior girls’ ‘AAAA’ title game on Wednesday pits the Pickering High Trojans against the Father Leo J. Austin Wildcats. The Wildcats defeated the Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas 35- 27 in one semifinal, while Pickering High prevailed over Notre Dame ju- niors in the other.

Thursday’s OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League game marks the first time the two teams have met since the six-player trade in mid-Oc- tober that sent veteran forwards Todd Hosmer, Justin Fox and goaltender Marc Stuart to the Hurricanes in exchange for veteran goaltender Brad Fogal, veteran defenceman Kory Helowka and veteran forward Greg Payne. Panthers head coach Pat Curcio notes when pride is factored into the proceed- ings, the conditions are ripe for a solid exhibition of hockey. “I’m sure they’re excited to play us. I think you should see a hell of a hockey game with that pride on the line. I think we’re in for a tough game,” says Curcio. Although he notes it was tough to part with the trio that was sent to New- market, Curcio notes the trade was one the Panthers had to make in order to achieve a number of intangibles the transaction has brought to the ice for the Panthers. “It’s so true -- you have to give up something to get something, but I would never turn my back on a trade like that. From leadership, to goaltending to de- fence -- every aspect of the trade was crucial to our team,” he says. Since the trade, the Panthers are a sterling 8-3-1, including going on a nine-game unbeaten streak during that span. Mostly, the goaltending supplied by Fogal has been nothing short of stel- lar, recording a 7-2-1 record since join- ing Pickering while compiling a 2.37 goals against average and a .936 save percentage. On the other hand, the Hurricanes haven’t exactly prospered since the trade, winning only one game -- their first game after the trade, a 6-3 win over Orangeville -- then proceeded to drop nine straight games and reside in last place in the league’s North Conference standings. Hosmer and Fox, however, continue to lead the Hurricanes in scor- ing. The Panthers hope to put together a modest two-game winning streak after earning a split last weekend. They fin- ished the weekend on the road in Oran- geville against the Crushers of the North Conference, winning 7-2. The Panthers were comfortably in front 5-1 after two periods, then outscored the Crushers 2-1 in the final frame for the thorough victory. For Curcio, the win -- which followed on the heels of a 5-3 loss to the Vaughan Vipers in Pickering Friday night -- was one of the team’s best games this sea- son. “We knew they were a good hockey team and we knew we had to step up to beat them,” says Curcio. “I thought it was one of our better games of the sea- son in terms of moving the puck, play- ing together and playing with discipline. We played very well.” Friday’s tilt with Vaughan represent- ed a chance for the Panthers to move closer to the second-place Vipers in the league’s South Conference standings. The loss, however, coupled with the Vi- pers win over North York on Monday puts the third-place Panthers (15-9-2) five points in arrears of Vaughan. Curcio remarks a barrage of penalties, 65 minutes to be exact, didn’t allow the Panthers to manufacture any momen- tum in the contest. Mostly, though, the Vipers burned the hosts for three of their five goals on the power play. The Pan- thers also had two power play markers. “I hate to put the onus on the referee, but there were just so many penalties. I usually wouldn’t say the calls were good or bad, but some of them were so ridicu- lous,” he notes.

A series of meet-the-artist shows is lined up, said owner Jeremy Le Page. “The artists will be here and they’ll have all their new works,” he said. “I try to have our regular artists here at least once in a year.” One of those featured is Cathy Mark, who lives on the north side of Lake Scugog. “Cathy’s become one of the most prominent artists in the area,” Le Page said. She’ll be at the Queen Street store Dec. 2 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Other artists coming in are wild- life artist Eddie Le Page, of Peterbor- ough, on Nov. 30 from 5 to 9 p.m., and David Johnson, on Dec. 5 from 5 to 9 p.m. Mark works in media including steel and stone, producing sculp- tures and mixed media works. All of them reflect her love of nature. “I would say the majority are re- flections of my surroundings,” she said, adding she finds inspiration in the environment around her. “I have a heron at the end of my dock everyday.” And you can find herons in her work. Also wolves, trees, rocks and more. She also finds inspiration in Native artists. “My work has always reflected that,” she said, adding she appreci- ates the symbolic, designed aspect of Native art. “It’s a designed image and it’s al- ways of nature. It’s not a real-life reflection. It’s designed.” With an interest in young as a child, she went on to study fine art in university and over the years has produced a variety of works. “It’s continuously changing and evolving,” she said of her art. She produces works on slate and creates sculptures with scrap steel and stones, many stones picked from the fields of the family farm over the generations, she said. She raids the fencerows for stones. She uses a plasma cutter to cut out forms from the rusty, unwanted pieces of steel, then cements them in the stone. During a summer tour of Lake Su- perior, she was surprised to see some of her sculptures of trees coming out of rocks echoed in formations. “It was amazing. We would see these trees growing just like my sculptures,” spreading their roots on the rocks. Recently, her work was part of the Showcase of the Arts by the Scugog Council for the Arts. And she’s been part of the Lake Scugog Studio Tour. She generally has one or two shows at Native Focus each year. Another popular artist at Native Focus is Johnson. “He always picks the full moon,” Le Page said, of the artist who is O jibwa. “He’s a storyteller with his works.” In his latest works, Johnson ex- plores the ancient drawings and petroglyphs known as the Teaching Rocks. He exhibits year round at the Whe- tung Ojibwa Crafts and Art Gallery in Curve Lake. Eddie Le Page, of Peterborough, father of Jeremy, is known through- out North America for his wildlife and portraits. A self-taught artist, he works in acrylic, producing paintings and also collector plates which can be found throughout the world. He stresses the bond between people and nature in his works. Native Focus is located at 191 Queen St. Meet the artists this fall at Durham’s Native Focus Top-notch directors leading bands AJAX — The Durham Senior Honour Band and the Durham Senior Honour Jazz Band perform in Ajax Saturday.

Artist Jones opens his doors Saturday PICKERING — Artist Alpheus Jones is opening his home/studio to the public for a show and sale this Sat- urday, Nov. 25. Mr. Jones doesn’t have to go far to f ind inspiration for his landscapes: south Pickering, and the Frenchman’s Bay area where he lives, are the sub- jects for many of his works. “My move to the Frenchman’s Bay area in October of 2003 was driven in no small way by the natural beauty of the area,” he says. “Growing up in an area surround- ed by water and lush vegetation, I am very much at home here.” To learn more about Mr. Jones’ work, visit www.alpheusjones.com, e- mail alpheusjones@rogers.com or call 905-837-5116. The showing is between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. at 849 Sanok Dr. (near Whites Road and Bayly Street).
