Angela St-Denis, 52, said in an interview she’d been told by police in Pennsylvania the man whose pickup truck was going the wrong way on an interstate highway and slammed into her family’s van was found to have as much as three times the legal amount of alcohol in his blood when the crash oc- curred early Dec. 23. “We’ve been told that he’s ac- cepted his responsibility,” Ms. St- Denis said Friday morning. “He knows he was in the wrong. The blood levels prove he was in the wrong.” The St-Denis family was heading south to Florida for a Christmas holiday when the crash occurred in Bedford Township, about 130 kilometres southeast of Pittsburgh. The St-Denis’s minivan was pass- ing a tractor trailer when a pickup truck travelling north in the south- bound passing lanes slammed into them. Roger St-Denis, 52, daughter Angela Michelle, 15, and 21-year- old son Paul were killed in the collision. Ms. St-Denis and her 22-year-old daughter, Therese, survived, although they sustained injuries. On Thursday justice officials in Pennsylvania announced 23- year-old Jeremy Grimes had been charged with three counts of ho- micide by vehicle while driving under the influence and other re- lated charges. He remains in cus- tody after failing to post $100,000 (US) bond. Since the crash Ms. St-Denis, who has volunteered as a counsel- lor for victims of crime and trag- edy, has said she feels no anger toward the man who caused the crash. Friday she said that right now her profound loss and the physical pain she’s enduring are foremost in her mind. “A t this point I have other things that are consuming me,” she said. But Ms. St-Denis vowed that in the event the charges result in a trial, she’ll be there: “I definitely will attend the trial if it ever goes to trial.” An estimated 800 people at- tended an emotional funeral ser- vice for the accident victims in Pickering on Wednesday.

The reason your home did not sell may have nothing to do with your home or the market. In reality, your home may have been one of the more desirable properties for sale. So Why Didn’t Your Home Sell? Last year almost half of the homes listed for sale never sold at all, and many sellers found that there was a tremendous amount a homeowner needed to be educated on to sell their home for top dollar in the shortest time period. Don’t risk making the wrong choices and losing both time and money on your investment. Before you hire a realtor, know the right questions to ask to save you time and money. Industry experts have prepared a free special report called “How to Sell a House that Didn’t Sell” which educates you on the issues involved.

He said that was “fairly nor- mal” when electricity and elec- tricity products are present in a fire’s area of origin. Deputy Chief Pegg said while the cause of the fire officially is still under investigation, pend- ing word from the Fire Marshal, there’s no indication of foul play. Ajax Fire and Emergency Ser- vices responded to a call at the restaurant, at 64 Harwood Ave. S., around 7 a.m. and extin- guished a small fire. The quick response prevented the fire from spreading to other businesses in the Ajax Plaza. But, while the blaze didn’t get out of hand, a significant amount of smoke was generated. Deputy Chief Pegg says an estimated $100,000 in damage was done to Wimpy’s Diner, the Black Angus Freezer Beef store suffered $60,000 in smoke dam- age to its products, and an ad- ditional $10,000 in damage was caused to the upstairs portion of the plaza. AJAX — An upcoming seminar will help attendees learn to navi- gate through the wine maze. Jeff McIlveen will lead an infor- mal talk, Demystifying the Wine Ju ngle, on Thursday, Jan. 18 from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Rotary Room of the main Ajax Public Library branch.

Mr. McIlveen will also touch on such wine personalities as Rob- ert Mondavi, Robert Parker and Donald Ziraldo. He’ll also explain how quali- ties of wine are based on region, grape type, technique and fash- ion. The program is free, but prior registration is necessary.

Damage now set at $170,000 following Thursday morning fire at Wimpy’s Wine not take library seminar By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX — The Town is considering its op- tions following a court ruling that the pro- cess used to issue nine taxi licences was unlawful. A Dec. 14 ruling from the three-member panel with the Divisional Court of the On- tario Superior Court of Justice found the request for proposal (RFP) process flawed and quashed the issuing of the licences. Ajax Clerk Marty de Rond says a staff report with recommendations on how to proceed will be dealt with at the Jan. 15 community affairs and planning committee meeting. “We’ll review the bylaw and report with recommendations,” Mr. de Rond states. In May of last year, the Town issued nine licences to Blue Line Durham Region taxi company. The licences were the first ones issued to Blue Line in Ajax. Four competing companies, Durham Rapid Taxi, Ajax Transportation Services, Lincoln Taxi and People’s Taxi, went to court in October, fighting to have the Town’s deci- sion nullified. “I thought we had a sensible approach to how the licences would be distributed. We have to go back to consider what our options are,” Mr. de Rond says. “The court decision, much to my surprise, didn’t favour the (RFP) process.” Given the Christmas holidays, there’s “ur- gency to revisit the bylaw. We need to do more research,” he says. The court decision was released on Dec. 14 and Blue Line was allowed to operate until Jan. 1. In May 2005, the Town passed a new taxi bylaw “to allow for an increase in licenc- es,” Mr. de Rond notes. Before 2005, there were 30 licences, or plates, issued. When the bylaw was reviewed, it included a provision to increase the number to 40. “In 2006, we implemented the process to increase it to 40. We awarded nine licences to Blue Line,” Mr. de Rond notes. People’s Taxi was one of six to submit a proposal under the RFP. People’s co-owner Dave Minhas says “the only way to grow the business is to have more plates. “More and more people are calling us for service and our hands are tied by the town- ship,” he says. The company has five licences, which means it has five cabs on the road. “If it’s an RFP, yes, we definitely would go for the plates,” Mr. Minhas adds. “My drivers, my cars are forced to work very hard.” He says “we felt (the RFP) wasn’t a proper process. If I’m starving for business, the township should recognize this.” Prior to the RFP, the Town had kept a list for licences and Mr. Minhas says “we’ve probably been on the list since ’92 or ’93.” A representative from Blue Line wasn’t available for comment. In an advertisement in the Dec. 30 News Advertiser, the company noted, “we want to assure you that our com- pany is committed to providing the town of Ajax with unparalleled taxi service. “While we have to follow the law and stop our service for now, we will not go away. We will continue to work to restore our service.” The ad also stated “our licence was quashed on what we believe to be a techni- cality.” D INNER BUFFET With this ad until Jan. 11/2007 Monday to Thursday reg. $15.99 ® *Valid at Pickering location only.

The increase equals $10.23 quarterly or $40.92 a year for resi- dential users. As a result, where the average customer would have paid $522.32 for water and sewer in 2006, they will pay $563.24 in 2007. Businesses using 50,000,000 gal- lons annually will see a bimonthly increase of $3,414 or $20,484 an- nually. “(The increase) is really caused by budgetary increases and a loss of consumption,” said Jim Clapp, Durham Region’s commissioner of finance. “The main increases are in the cost increases for things like utility cost and general infla- tionary costs.” For water, revenue requirements from user rates increased by $2.4 million because of increased oper- ating costs like wages and benefits, new staffing, training, the polybu- tylene pipe replacement program, chemicals, materials and utilities. For sanitary sewer, revenue requirements from user rates in- creased by $4.5 million due to in- creased wages and benefits, train- ing, new staffing, sludge haulage and incineration fees, utilities and start-up costs of the Courtice Water Pollution Control Plant. “There is no water or sewer costs on the property taxes,” Mr. Clapp said. “User rates pay for all water and sewer both operating and capital.” Among the capital programs the user rates support are the York/ Durham sludge incineration ex- pansion and capital programs tied into the area municipal and re- gional road program. Despite the increase, Mr. Clapp said Durham residents have the fifth lowest rates of 14 munici- palities surveyed. He said areas surveyed ranged from Ottawa to Waterloo. On the large user side, Durham is the fourth lowest of 14 other areas surveyed. Residents can expect the rates to continue increasing by eight or nine per cent a year from 2008 to 2011, according to Mr. Clapp. “Based on capital programs and depending on growth it is prob- ably in that range, but council will revisit it on an annual bases,” he said. However when compared to typical residential utility costs, Mr. Clapp said water and sewer rates have remained reasonable. “In terms of our ability to keep the cost in line as compared to something like hydro, which has gone overboard, and gas, which has gone overboard, we have been able to keep it under control,” Mr. Clapp said.

I did not know that saying the Lord’s Prayer in a govern- ment meeting was illegal. I suppose the next thing to go is the phrase, “God keep our land glorious and free” from the national anthem. Tell me something, does anybody remember why we have a day off from work on Dec. 25? I seem to remember that it is the birthday of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour, if not yours, that we are celebrating. I used to have trouble with the concept that Pierre Elliott Trudeau stated the government has no place in the bed- rooms of the nation and put it in our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I am now thankful for it, because that is where, when I go to bed at night and when I get up in the morning, I say the Lord’s Prayer. At least I have the right to pray to the Almighty in the privacy of my own home and, for now, my church. I’ll just have to suffer from the disappointment of knowing that my local government doesn’t have the same right.

I have never met Angela St-Denis. Until last week’s tragedy, when three members of her family were killed in an accident, I had never heard her name. But I now know she is a better person than I am or ever will be. Ms. St-Denis has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons. While travelling through the U.S. just before Christmas, the van she was in was hit by a man driving a pickup truck the wrong way on a U.S. interstate. Police believe he was impaired at the time of the ac- cident. Ms. St-Denis and her eldest daughter Therese survived the crash. Her husband Roger, son Paul and daughter Angela did not. A funeral for the three was held Wednesday in Pickering. I have seen the images and read the story from the funeral but what still sticks with me from the moment I heard about the accident was Ms. St-Denis’ unbeliev- able ability to not get angry at the man who drove the truck. “What’s the use of staying angry? What’s that going to get us?” the griev- ing mother told media members shortly after the accident. She has forgiven him and her only concern is that he not get behind the wheel of a car ever again. That wasn’t my first thought or the first thought of many, many people I have spoken to about this story. I wanted to hurt the driver of the truck, I wanted him to suffer, to feel the pain he caused Ms. St-Denis and her family. But she didn’t. As a volunteer with the victim crisis assistance referral services with the Durham Regional Police Ser- vice, Ms. St-Denis has sat on the side of a road with victims in similar circumstanc- es. It was through those experiences that she decided forgiveness was a better way of living than seeking revenge. I would not have felt the same way. Drinking and driving is a scourge on our roads and must be stamped out. How many more devastating collisions must we all read about before deciding that getting behind the wheel of a car while drunk is no different than firing a gun into a crowd. At We dnesday’s funeral her family was described as one that always put the needs of others first. But I have a different perspective fol- lowing the funeral. I want to thank Ms. St-Denis for showing me there are still people in this world who see good in all people. Mike Johnston’s column ap- pears every third Sunday. E-mail mjohnston@durhamregion.com. Mike Johnston managing editor EDITORIALS & OPINIONS durhamregion.com Change good news for environment Prime Minister Stephen Harper refused to call his recent shuffle an election cabinet, but it’s hard to resist the no- tion the changes he made Thursday will serve any other purpose. Mr. Harper’s most dramatic switch, anticipated for a number of weeks before it finally came, was to replace Alberta MP Rona Ambrose in the Environment portfolio with Ontario’s John Baird. Both are young stars in the Conservative firmament, but Ms. Ambrose was clearly out of her league in a cabinet position that has increased drastically in importance since she was appointed to it just 11 months ago. She struggled mightily to deal with the exploding issue of global warming, dismissing Canada’s Kyoto targets as unachiev- able. Her attempts to deliver a Clean Air Act last fall fell flat and she was in a difficult position in representing a riding adjacent to the massive Alberta Tar Sands project, the largest single polluter and producer of greenhouse gases in the country. Mr. Baird, on the other hand, was given credit for working well with members of the Liberal, Bloc and NDP parties in moving the Accountability Act through Parliament. It was a long, hard slog, but he achieved success when the bill passed in December. He’ll now take on a position where positive efforts are ex- pected by Canadians. While the environment was hardly on the radar in the election of 2006, it’s now the No. 1 priority with Canadians according to a recent national Decima poll. It finished ahead of perennial top choice health care as well as the economy and the mission in Afghanistan. Mr. Baird will have to work with the opposition to strengthen any environmental legislation so that it takes account of green- house gas emissions. Long-range targets for cutting emissions by 2050 are not acceptable to Liberal leader Stephane Dion or NDP head Jack Layton. With a possible spring or early summer election looming, it appears the key issue will be how each party will deal with the environment. Mr. Harper’s decision to appoint one of his most active cabinet ministers to the post and the focus placed on global warming by all political parties is a big step in the right direction for Canada and is a welcome move away from the inac- tion of the past.

The Sinclair grappler prevailed in this bout. Panthers sign Oshawa Generals’ forward Belan’s arrival signals last roster move prior to Jan. 10 deadline PICKERING — The Pickering Panthers added the last piece of their roster puzzle Thursday. The Panthers brought aboard 20-year-old left wing Kris Belan, an overage player with the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League. Panthers general manager Frank Robinson says he had been work- ing on acquiring Belan the past week. To have him join just prior to the OHA Ontario Provincial Ju- nior ‘A’ Hockey League’s Jan. 10 trade deadline should be a boon to the Panthers in their final 11 regular- season game and on into the playoffs. “He has not put up huge num- bers in the OHL but his speed and grit and the fact he is a left-handed shot, was a very important factor to the Panthers,” says Robinson in a press release. Belan became available after the Generals added new goalten- der Loic Lacasse from the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Ju- nior league. The addition of Lac- asse put the Generals at four over- age players; league rules cite each team can only play three. The 6-foot, 2-inch, 200-pound forward joined the Generals in October, coming over from the London Knights in exchange for Oshawa’s 15th-round selection in the 2008 OHL Priority Selection Draft. This season, Belan scored a goal and added an assist in 18 games. The addition of Belan fills the 23-man Panthers’ roster prior to the Jan. 10 deadline. Josh Booth has been declared medically unfit to play, which opened a roster spot for Belan. Belan is the second former Os- hawa General who’s joined the Panthers this season. Earlier, for- ward Phil McIlhone rejoined the Panthers after playing for the Gen- erals for a season. Kris Belan Plenty of Durham talent scattered across professional lacrosse ranks DURHAM — For a pair of lo- cals, it’s not tough to understand why the word “repeat” would be on their minds as the National Lacrosse League gets set to draw the curtain on another campaign. The Colorado Mammoth, led by Whitby’s Gavin Prout and Ajax’s Gee Nash, began defence of their NLL championship title of a year ago with a 20-15 victory over Rochester Knighthawks. Prout and Nash, who both played box lacrosse during the summer with the Brooklin Redmen, are poised to lead a talented Mam- moth back to championship glory. Captain Gavin Prout tallied seven points on the strength of two goals and his game-high five assists in the Mammoth’s season-opening win over Rochester. Coming off a season where he placed fourth in the league in scor- ing with 29-64-93 numbers in 16 games, much of the same will be ex- pected from Prout, while Nash will be looking for something similar to his 10.29 goals against average of last season, which was good enough for second in the league. Another familiar face will join Prout and Nash in Colorado this season as Andrew Burkholder, a Redmen teammate, will also suit up for the Mammoth. As for their opposition tonight, Rochester boasts an impressive contingent of local players as well, led specifically by star forward Shawn Williams of Whitby. Williams posted 80 points with the Knighthawks last season, and will be joined by Oshawa’s Bill Greer and for Ajax-Pickering Rock senior ‘B’ goaltender Mike Miron, Bowmanville’s Stephen Hoar and a pair of Redmen in forward Mike Accursi and Steve Toll as players to watch this season. In Portland, reigning execu- tive and coach of the year in the NLL, Oshawa’s Derek Keenan leads his LumberJax into battle. Joining him for a second season behind the bench is Whitby Warriors head coach Jeff McComb, while former Warrior Ian Crashley, a Portland draft pick from 2006, has made the club out of training camp. Veteran defender Pat Jones of Os- hawa will join Crashley on the back end to help solidify the club’s defen- sive game. Mike Hominuck, picked up by the Redmen last season, will also suit up for Portland. The LumberJax, led by Redmen goaltender Steve Dietrich, who post- ed an NLL-best 9.97 goals against average a year ago. Bowmanville’s Jason Crosbie will return to chip in on the offence after splitting last season between Buffalo and Ari- zona. In To ronto, the Rock recent- ly dealt superstar Colin Doyle to the San Jose Stealth in exchange for three players, including former Oshawa General Chad Thompson. Matt Shearer of Whitby and Derek Suddons of Oshawa return to the Rock fold along with Scott Campbell of Ajax. They’ll also welcome an- other Ajax resident in Matt Carroll, a former Whitby Jr. A product. With Doyle now in San Jose, he’ll be joined by diminutive Redmen star Jeff Zywicki and rookie Shaydon Santos of Whitby. Shawn Summerfield, a member of the Ajax-Pickering Rock senior ‘B’s for the past two seasons and an Ajax resident, enters his second sea- son with the Minnesota Swarm after signing as a free agent last year. Rounding out the local contingent is Kurtis Wagar of Blackstock, who is one of two goaltenders for the Ed- monton Rush, and Mike McLellan, who performed well for the Redmen after being acquired last season. Meanwhile, Redmen coach Ian McGough recently added another job to his resume, signing on with Arizona as the Head Eastern Scout for the club. He’ll be responsible for advanced scouting of NLL teams playing in eastern venues. Gee Nash Back online for another year...
