At Monday’s executive committee meeting, Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson took exception to a recom- mendation in a staff report regard- ing the proposed bridge over Hwy. 401, from the Pickering GO station to Pickering Parkway. The recommen- dation states the construction of the bridge “be undertaken only in associa- tion” with the office tower to be built on the PTC site. “That part I’m having a little bit of difficulty with,” Coun. Dickerson said. He put forward an amendment to de- lete that section, but it lost. He said the idea for a bridge came about long before there was talk of an office tower. “I have not seen any concerted ef- fort by Vic 20 (Pickering Town Centre management) or the PTC to go above and beyond the City’s effort to market a tower,” he said. “To say we’re going to wait on the sole discretion of another body...It’s not right. “We entered into this not with an of- fice tower in mind, but with something called sustainability in mind,” he said. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean said he is supportive of the bridge, but not of Coun. Dickerson’s motion. “We know the costs have doubled – that’s a lot of tax increases for a bridge that could go from nowhere to nowhere,” he said. The planning for a bridge began in 1996 when Hwy. 401 through Pickering was widened and the footings were put in place to allow for a bridge. In 2003, the provincial government pledged $1 million towards the project, which was to be funded through a private-pub- lic partnership. The private partner later moved out of the picture, leaving the City to fund the $3-million project which is now estimated at $7.7 mil- lion. Wa rd 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley wondered how many sidewalks could be built with that amount of money. “We’d be better to get some tax base from these corporate towers to put into the bridge,” she said. “It’s a lot of money to spend when we need side- walks in other areas.” Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell was concerned that mak- ing the bridge contingent on the office tower was limiting the City from find- ing other partners. “We are really limiting ourselves if Is Pickering building a bridge to ‘nowhere’? [ Briefly ] Panel to discuss health inequity DURHAM — The United Way of Ajax-Pickering-Uxbridge contend the 905 communities have long ex- perienced an inequity in health and social services funding. This inequality impacts senior citizens, citizens with developmen- tal and mental challenges, new immigrants, children and youth, and access to health services here in Durham. A panel of local politicians and community experts will present opinions as to the long-term impact on human and health services in Durham. Residents are invited to join in reviewing the findings and recom- mendations of the Strong Commu- nities Coalition, which advocates on behalf of the residents. The coali- tion is made up of the United Ways of Durham, Halton, Peel and York and the 905/GTA Health Alliance. The panel will be meeting Jan. 29 at 7:30 p.m. at the Region’s headquar- ters in Whitby, 605 Rossland Rd. For more information, contact the United Way at 905-686-0606.

McTeague named critic for consumer affairs and consular services By Danielle Milley dmilley@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Local MP Mark Hol- land has been enlisted to help Liberal leader Stephane Dion in his green mis- sion. The Ajax-Pickering MP was named natural resources critic in Mr. Dion’s shadow cabinet Thursday. The role is a key one in addressing the new leader’s priority of a prosperous, sustainable economy that promotes “green ener- gy.” Mr. Holland is excited about the ap- pointment. “I had asked for something that was going to be involved in renewable ener- gy,” he said. “I’m very happy with this (role).” There are many areas that have to do with sustainability that fall under the portfolio including the EnerGuide pro- gram. The portfolio also puts Mr. Holland in charge of both traditional and new, emerging forms of energy for the op- position. Durham’s position as an energy cen- tre may have played a role in him get- ting the position. “I think that was part of it,” he said. It is an area of interest for him. “We need to develop alter- native types of energy and we need to reduce our dependence on petroleum,” he said, adding Canada needs to use the resources it has responsibly. Mr. Holland received a phone call a couple of days before the official an- nouncement letting him know the new role he’d been given. “I really want to advance solutions on what Stephane is calling ‘the green revolution’,” he said. He said there are technologies al- ready developed that could be used more to help in that revolution. “Solar is one that can be used to a far greater effect,” he said. His focus is on two main priorities to start: helping to develop the Liberal platform as it relates to a sustainable economy; and advancing solutions and ideas on how Canada can meet its Ky oto targets. By stepping into the new role, Mr. Holland leaves behind his post as vice- chairman of public safety and as bor- der services critic. “I’m going to miss the issues relating to border services,” he said. Pickering-Scarborough East MP Dan McTeague takes on the critic role for consumer affairs and consular ser- vices. He was out of the country and unable to comment.

Mayor Dave Ryan said it didn’t make sense to go ahead without the PTC as it would mean the bridge would end on Pickering Parkway. He said he and the City’s economic development department have been working with PTC management (20 Vic Management). They are working on details about advertising signage and have secured very strong inter- est from companies that would take small sections of the tower. There has been some interest from companies that would be large enough to serve as an anchor, but nothing concrete yet. “To in any way alter this report to- night would not be in the best inter- est of the municipality or the ongoing work with 20 Vic,” he said. ✦ No from page A1 Jury selection begins in home invasion trial DURHAM — Jury selection has begun for two men accused of taking part in a violent home-invasion rob- bery almost two years ago in Ajax. O’Neil Johnson and Audi Breedy pleaded not guilty Tuesday to nine charges each in connection with the robbery, which took place Feb. 26, 2005, at a home on Charlton Crescent. A man was stabbed in the hand and guns were seen during the robbery, which occurred after suspects forced their way into the residence. Suspects were arrested in the vicin- ity of the residence by Durham police officers responding to an emergency call. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Breedy face charges including robbery, assault causing bodily harm and weapons of- fences. The trial, which will begin after jurors are selected, is expected to take up to four weeks. No concrete plans for tower yet Quick drop in temperature caused problem for Town staff By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX — Councillors received an “inordinate amount of calls” from irate residents about road conditions following winter’s first blast of the sea- son. The combination of ice pellets, snow and freez- ing temperatures had callers upset with slippery roads and sidewalks, along with complaints of slushy conditions. Pauline Morrison of Cluett Drive said she saw a line of cars on Mandrake Street on Wednesday because one car couldn’t make it up a small in- cline. “A small car was stuck on ice on the road be- cause nothing was plowed. There was a lineup of 15 cars behind it,” Ms. Morrison said. There was “ice all the way across Mandrake,” she said, adding vehicles were “sliding on the ice. The sidewalks weren’t much better.” On We dnesday, she said Pickering Beach Road was “full of ice and snow because it wasn’t plowed. “The roads are pathetic,” she added. “Snow’s not the problem. It’s the ice.” Ms. Morrison noted, “It’s not like the money’s not in the budget. We had no snow in November and December. “We have 48 hours to clear the ice, but the city doesn’t have to. Politicians obviously don’t care about our opinions,” she stated. During a meeting of council’s general govern- ment committee on Thursday, councillors said they had received numerous calls from residents complaining about the clean-up. Dave Meredith, the director of operations and environmental services, said crews were out salt- ing on Sunday. Crews were out again Monday at 4:45 a.m. salting roads. “The problem is the ice came first and then the temperatures dropped below minus-10. At minus-10, salt losses it’s effectiveness,” he stated. “The biggest thing was the drop in temperature. It created a problem on the Monday. Salt isn’t ef- fective when it’s that cold. It started to warm up and the slush came out,” he said. Crews went out again on Tuesday to do more salting, he added. By We dnesday, temperatures rose and crews were out plowing main roads and intersections. On Thursday, crews had the chance to plow local streets, he noted. To wn policy calls for a full plow when there’s five or more centimetres of snow. “We never did go to a full plowable event,” he said. “We’re doing a touch up. It didn’t meet the requirements of a full plowable event.” He added the department received many calls about the clean-up. Ward 4 local Councillor Pat Brown said she received “an inordinate amount of calls” from residents. “All local streets were salted and sanded three times,” Mr. Meredith said, adding a fourth one was to be completed. 416-287-UTSC (8872) www.utsc.utoronto.ca info@utsc.utoronto.ca Have you seen us lately?

The legislation al- lows for the Crown to seize properties and assets if it can be proven they are proceeds or instruments of unlawful activity. The house, on a quiet cul de sac just north of Union Cemetery, will be sold and the proceeds dedicated to a fund that benefits victims of crime, Mr. Bryant said. The civil action was launched following convic- tion of the homeowner, who was busted when Durham police raided the bungalow in June 2005. Cops found more than 500 plants as well as dried pot with a street value of $540,000. The homeowner was sentenced to nine months of house arrest and two years probation. The Crown applied for seizure of the property in the summer of 2006 and the motion was granted Jan. 9 of this year. “The house has been seized; the house has been forfeited to the Crown,” Mr. Bryant said. “The marijuana op- eration is out of business and up in smoke.” Chief White said the Civil Remedies Act is proving to be a useful tool in the ongoing battle against crime. It’s been used to seize not just properties but other assets, including cars used by street racers. “We’ll use every single tool, whether it’s civil or criminal, that’s available to us,” the chief said. The man ar- rested in connection with the grow op has served his conditional sentence and is now on probation, said police spokesman Dave Selby.

With the approval of the expansion at the Ajax and Pickering hospital last March and the early works now under way on the road to connect Harwood Av enue and Centennial Road, there are a lot of good things happening at the hospital. “It’s been a long time coming,” said Natalie Bubela, president and acting CEO. “Many people have worked hard to bring this much needed work to fruition.” RVAP board chairman Tom Atkins said the work on the $60 million re- development and expansion should begin this year. “This announcement is becoming a reality this year with bricks and mortar to appear on site later this year,” he said. The project is to include an expand- ed emergency room, diagnostic imag- ing department, ambulatory care unit, complex continuing care unit, labora- tory and mental health services. The current ER was designed for 20,000 visits a year and it receives 46,000, whereas the expanded ER will be built for 60,000. “I don’t have to tell you how desper- ate this project is needed to deal with current growth pressures in Pickering, Ajax and Whitby,” Mr. Atkins said. In addition to the news about the re- development project moving forward, there was also good news on the phy- sician recruitment front. Rouge Valley has had shortages of physicians in key areas, particularly at the Ajax site with pediatrics and obstetrics. In the past year, five new physicians have been recruited, including a pa- thologist, anesthetists and a pediatri- cian. Pediatrics and obstetrics were almost transferred to Scarborough’s Centenary hospital about a year ago because of the shortage of pediatri- cians, not only at Rouge Valley, but across the province. “We are 100 per cent committed to continuing obstetrics and pediatric services,” Mr. Atkins said, adding the commitment has been included in the hospital’s mission statement. Another issue of concern with local health care has been about funding for the 905 area’s growing hospitals. Mr. Atkins said the hospital is working with the GTA/905 Healthcare Alliance and the ministry of health to work on a way to address the inequities currently in place. ISH BIGNE014G307 © 2007.

That’s the No. 1 message the youth of Wide Awake want their peers in Durham to take away from National Non-Smoking Week. Of course, they also want to see current smokers quit. But, as a youth group, they recognize most smokers start in their teens and can avoid the stress of quitting, by never starting. “Smoking seems so nor- mal to a lot of youth because they see it every day in mov- ies, in the media, from their friends,” said 16-year-old Wa rren Brett, a peer leader with Wide Awake, Oshawa’s youth driven anti-smoking movement. “It’s not normal and we’re trying to show that.” Wide Awake was formed in December 2005, as part of the Smoke Free Ontario strategy. The group works closely with the Durham Region Health Department and Oshawa Community Health Centre. While it serves all of Dur- ham, it is based in Oshawa because the city has the highest smoking rate in the region. Their goal is to wake youth up to the dangers of smoking and the tactics tobacco companies use to rope in young smokers. From Jan. 22-27 Wide Awake will mark National Non-Smoking Week by writing letters to the editor and producing a short com- mercial that will be posted on YouTube. Next month, the group will host a smoke-free movie night and a top secret event is planned for March. “All our events are about raising awareness,” said peer leader James Moss, 17. “We’ve had a lot of positive feedback, but there’s still a long way to go because youth are still smoking.” According to Health Can- ada’s 2004-05 Youth Smok- ing Survey, 21 per cent of kids in Grades 5 to 9 report- ed trying a tobacco product. The good news is, that’s a 50 per cent reduction over the 10-year period from 1994 to 2004-05. Of the youth who tried smoking, the majority sur- veyed said it was because of their friends or because smoking is cool. Since starting its mission, Wide Awake has hosted smoke-free movie nights, made presentations to after- school programs and day camps and even organized a butt cleanup at Lakeview Park, picking up 2,000 ciga- rette butts in half an hour. For more information on Wide Awake or to volunteer, call 905-260-2956.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Like everybody else, cops must tighten belt To the editor: Re: Police Association boss pushing for more police officers (Dec. 30, 2006). Here we go again: new as- sociation boss, same old de- mands on we the taxpayers. Having been a resident of Pickering for 18 years, I’ve seen it all. At the present time the po- lice budget makes up half the total budget (PIE) for Durham residents, leaving just half re- maining for all other expenses and projects. S omeone has to tighten their belts and this should also apply to the police. Many years ago, an officer-to-population ratio came up and resulted in a competition that occurs at each negotiation during bud- get time and is used as a bar- gaining tool. I feel basically this was a figure pulled out of the air and each region is unique and should be staffed on the basis of restraint and keeping the already over-bur- dened taxpayer in mind. In closing, politicians (coun- cil) should take a firmer stand and say enough is enough. There is an old saying, ‘Work smarter, not harder’, and per- haps deployment of police is an issue. Richard Sutton Pickering Rising water costs raise questions To the editor: Regarding the 7.8 per cent increase for water costs, as of Jan. 1, 2007. I was quite amused by commissioner of finance Jim Clapp’s explanation, part of which, and I quote, “budget- ary increases and a loss of con- sumption.” I was really wondering about the loss of consumption part. With all the new houses built in the east and north east parts of our city, along with Wilson Road North and Harmony Road North being dug up to accommodate the new water and sewer lines, how can Mr. Clapp say the rate increase is due, in part, to loss of con- sumption? Are all the new houses not using any water? Haven’t the powers that be, been preach- ing to us to only water our lawns once a week, and if your house address number is odd, to do this watering on an odd day of the week? Didn’t they also suggest we change our bathrooms to the low flow type to conserve water, which many of us did, and now we get a 7.8 per cent increase in our bill because of loss of consumption? Non seniors got a 7.8 per cent increase in our old age security to pay for this water rate increase. This, to me, is a ridiculous reason to give the homeown- ers for the increase! So my suggestion is, my friends to drink more water every day and water your lawns more often to see if this will help out the loss of consump- tion because, either way, we’re going to pay!

IN THE COMMUNITY Choose your reading material accordingly I had an interesting remind- er recently, as though I needed another, about the differences between men and women. I purchased a novel based on a very intriguing review. The write-up said the story was full of action, mystery and page- turning suspense. The perfect holiday read, I reasoned. Per- fect, except that the book was written by a woman. Now, be- fore any female readers take too much umbrage, I should mention I am an avid reader of female authors. My favourite book, To Kill A Mockingbird, was penned by a woman. I’m a big fan of women in general. I like them so much I married one. But I think only an idiot would say that we, men and women, are the same. We are not. We see the world in vastly different ways and consequent- ly we tell our stories in vastly different ways. The first clue I was in the wrong book came when the protagonist turned out to be a woman. Again, don’t get me wrong, she was smart, funny and resourceful. But she was not a man. And so she did not do things as a man would, as I, a man, wanted her to. She never once rushed in, guns blazing. Instead, she cleverly outwitted her enemies. I hate that. Secondly, page-turning sus- pense, for a man, does not involve elaborate, multi-para- graphed descriptions of silken gowns and tresses of flaxen hair cascading over naked shoul- ders. It’s about guns and explo- sives and lantern-jawed heroes firing automatic weapons with one hand... and naked shoul- ders. I think, in fact, that had this same book been written by a man it would’ve been half the length. Instead of, “He pulled her to him and she felt the heat of his love stir the embers of desire within her. As the ocean of his passion crashed upon the beach of her destiny she was lost within him, the two of them swept away in a tide of unbridled obsession,” a man would write, “He pleasured her mightily then slept, one hand on the trigger of the Ruger P85 beneath the pillow.” That’s good writing. And it’s the truth. After all that ember stirring and crashing on beaches of passion, men fall asleep. And if I were allowed to have a Ruger P85 in the house, you can bet I’d sleep with one finger on the trigger. Finally, women authors are far too observant to write a good action novel. Men don’t care that, “she entered the cata- combs of Almahdi, the walls an ochre tapestry of war and pain, each stalactite a mute sentry guarding centuries of death and desolation, she could al- most hear the agonized cries of those lost souls who had perished within this marbled tomb.” Men just want to move the story along: “He went in the cave, it felt wrong. He fingered the trigger of his Ruger P85.” Half the words, all the content. Besides, why have your hero get muddled in the surround- ings when he could be using that time to pleasure a woman mightily? There are, unquestionably, times when I enjoy ornate de- scription and glorious prose. But an action novel is not one of them. I don’t blame this au- thor. I blame myself. Looking back, I realize, I made one mis- take after another in the pur- chase of this book. The jacket alone should’ve tipped me off. There were no F-16’s, tanks or nuclear submarines. There was only a chess piece. And it was teal. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Follow Neil’s BLOG drinfo.ca/croneblog.html. Men write facts, women describe feelings Neil Crone enter laughing Good news welcomed from General Motors I t’s been said before, but bears repeating, even if it’s a slight twist on a saying dating back nearly 60 years: What’s good for Gen- eral Motors is good for Durham Region. The auto giant, so influential to the economy of this region and this province, has good news to report after what seemed a long stretch of mostly negative reports. In the words of General Motors Corporation president Rick Wag- oner, “To be direct, 2006 needed to be a huge year for us -- and it was.” The GM boss was referring to some massive revenue losses -- lampooned in a jab at the Oshawa Generals by Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report who referred to GM’s cash flow problems -- and the company’s attempt to right the ship. According to Mr. Wagoner, GM was able to achieve $9 billion in cost reductions in North America alone in 2006, much-needed sav- ings that he says will be reflected by the end of 2007. To do that, GM offered significant buyouts to many thousands of workers in plants across North America. Its goal is a smaller, leaner, more efficient workforce to meet the challenge brought forth by off- shore producers. General Motors, especially at its Oshawa autoplex, has long pro- duced award-winning vehicles, earning top marks in quality and productivity surveys. Such excellence has been recognized by the company which will spend billions in research and development through the Beacon Project, announced nearly two years ago. In addition, after reaching a deal with CAW Local 222 last year to trim costs, GM announced that a new innovative flex plant would be constructed in Durham this year so that production of the new- style Camaro could commence in 2008 for the 2009 model year. The flex plant will also be able to build other models to meet changes in market demand. A whole new retooling of the line will be unnecessary. With all of the feeder plants and spin-off jobs dependent on the health of GM, it’s heartening to hear good news from the world’s largest automaker. After some dark moments, the future looks bright.

St. Mary de- feated Team Raiders of Tampa 4-2 in the division championship game. The Monarchs also earned prelimi- nary pool victories over Team Raiders (6-4), the Junior Everblades (4-1), the Tri-City Eagles of Maryland, and the Palm Beach Ice Hawks (5-1). St. Mary head coach Mike Dion reports the event resulted in good ‘AAA’- level competition and was a well-run tournament. “The players had a great time and we’ll definitely do it again next Christ- mas,” he says. Sixteen players and two coaches made the trip to Florida. In addition to the tournament, the St. Mary entourage spent a few days in Orlando where they visited Disney World. [ Basketball ] Packagers stay atop standings AJAX — ESN Packaging strength- ened its hold on first place in the Ajax Men’s Basketball League standings with a solid 67-52 victory over Top Shelf in action last Wednesday night. Clayton Gall provided the spark for the Packagers with 22 points; big men David Jackson and Ken Daniel added 12 and 10, respectively. Top Shelf’s fire power came from wily veteran Mike Jovanov and rookie Rob Hare, both with 17 points. Michael’s Eatery scored a convinc- ing victory over Burgundy 62-49 in the second game of the evening. Louis Davis had the hot hand for the diners with 20 points. Kitson Wallace added 12 points and Pat Roach knocked down nine. Claude Whitfield led Burgundy with 15 points, assisted by Allan Gomes with 14. Dead-eye shooting from Bob Hunt with 19 points and Greg Rowe with 17 points proved to be enough as a short- handed Dickson Printing team surprised North Alliance Press 59-47 to close out the evening. NAP got good production from Frank Spagnuolo with 13 points and John Beyaz with nine. [ Hockey ] Pickering skaters at nationals PICKERING — Tw o Pickering skat- ers glided to good results at the 2007 BMO Financial Group Canadian Champion- ship, which concluded at the Halifax Metro Centre on the weekend. Spencer Barnes, of Pickering, and his partner, Andrea Chong, of Toronto, in the senior dance event and Acacia Hill, of Pickering, in the junior women’s event, skated at the championships. Chong and Barnes earned 10th place in the senior dance event at nationals. The duo was 10th in the compulsory skate dance, 10th in the original dance and 11th in the free dance to finish 10th overall. Making her first ever appearance at the Canadian Figure Skating Champion- ships, Hill, 15, finished 19th in the junior women’s event.

Pickering teen’s part of the ’pack Wa rd signs for swim scholarship at North Carolina State University By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — A longtime member of the Pickering Swim Club hopes to fill a niche and provide a missing in- gredient as the newest member of the Wolfpack this fall. Jessica Ward, 18, signed a four-year, full athletic scholarship to attend North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina, where she hopes to make waves right away with the Wolf- pack women’s swim team. Yo u see, the Wolfpack, and their head coach Brooks Teal, has been without a bona fide breaststroke star in the NCAA Division 1 program for some time. Ward sees herself as filling that role perfectly as someone whose spe- cialities are the 100-metre and 200m breaststroke. “He expects big things from me. They haven’t had a strong competitive breaststroker in a long time, so they hope I can come in and be a strong breaststroker. They don’t have one right now. They don’t have someone competitive enough to keep up with the rest of the conference in the breast- stroke,” she says, adding that being the rookie of the year on the women’s team is her immediate goal. Ward is one of four freshman swim- mers brought aboard the NCS swim- ming and diving team for the fall. She admits it was a tough decision as to where her collegiate swimming career would land for the next four years. “I had it down to Arkansas or North Carolina State. I couldn’t make up my mind. It was the most stressful two weeks in my life.” In addition to the two front-running schools, Ward also gathered scholar- ship offers from Michigan State, Indi- ana, Ohio State, Connecticut, Iowa and Syracuse universities. Ward notes the similarities be- tween the NCS swim program and the Pickering Swim Club were reasons for laying down her collegiate swimming roots in North Carolina. “North Carolina State has a lot of the things this club has,” says Ward, a St. Mary Catholic Secondary School stu- dent. “The program is the same. It’s the same way we do dryland (training) and the way they set up practice. The coach is very involved and takes a lot of pride in the swimming program. That’s why I wanted to go.” She also noted the welcoming, friendly atmosphere around the NCS swim team, much like that of the Pickering club, swayed her in the Wolf- pack’s direction. “Mostly, it was the way I could relate to the coach, the way the team wel- comed me, what the facilities were like and what kind of swimming program they had and the academic help they offered,” she added. Pickering Swim Club head coach Lucie Hewitt-Henderson noted Ward’s scholarship is a big accomplishment for the teen who resides on the club’s Jason Liebregts/News Advertiser photo Jessica Ward, 18, will attend North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina on a full athletic scholarship for swimming. The national-level swimmer’s been a member of the Pickering Swim Club for the past 11 years. ✦ See Pickering, Page B2 Ajax skip Turcotte goes for four Rink to compete for fourth Canadian senior men’s curling title By Jim Easson Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — An Ajax curler goes for a fourth Canadian seniors’ crown after capturing the Investors Group Senior Men’s Ontario Provincial Champion- ship at the Lindsay Curling Club from Jan. 16 to 21. Bob Turcotte, who skipped the Scarboro Golf and Country Club entry at the provincials, advanced directly to the final with a sterling 6-1 record during the eight-team round robin. Turcotte needed an extra end in the final against the Bob Stafford rink from the Kingsville Curl- ing Club, but persevered for the 7-6 win. The Scarboro G olf team, which also in- cludes third Roy We igand, sec- ond Kent Co- chrane and lead Steve McDermot, now represents Ontario at the Cana- dian Championship in Trois Rivieres, Quebec from March 18 to 25. Tu rcotte has won the Canadian Senior Men’s Curling Championship three times. Annandale’s team of skip Gord Norton, Mike Trudeau, Rob Thomp- son, and Ron Alexander was one of three teams that ended the round robin tied in third place with 4-3 re- cords. The Norton rink, however, was sidelined in the first tie-breaker with an 8-3 loss to Stafford. Bob Turcotte ✦ See Bantams, Page B2 Back online for another year...

Hosted by the Pickering club, the meet attracted seven GTA swim teams and more than 200 athletes. ‘Wall of Fame’ at the complex pool as a national-level swimmer. “Oh yeah, it’s awesome,” says Hewitt- Henderson, who’s coached Ward for the past six years. “It’s a free ride. It’s a great school academically first and also athletically.” While Ward’s 11 years with the Pickering Swim Club is winding down, she notes she still has some things to accomplish. First and foremost is another crack at the senior nationals. Last November, she came fourth in the 200m breast final and recorded a best time in the event. “This spring, hopefully I can beat some Canadian records,” she says, adding that she eventually hopes to compete for a spot on Canada’s swim team for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She credits the Pickering club for being a driving force in her develop- ment in swimming. Mostly, though, the club, under Hewitt-Henderson’s guidance, has been a source of encour- agement. “Pickering has been amazing for 11 years. I’ve had Lucie for six years as a coach. Before Lucie came I didn’t even make provincials. She’s an amazing coach -- the best I’ve ever had. Every- one supports one another here. We keep getting better and faster.” Ward begins classes at NCS in late August where she’ll study in the Con- gruent Education program, which will allow her to become a teacher upon graduation. ✦ Pickering, from page B1 Pickering swimmer set to compete for Wolfpack Both of Annandale’s entries in the Ontario Curling Association’s ban- tam boys’ and girls’ regionals battled gamely, but came up short in their respective events.

PA GE B3 ◆ NEWS A DVERTISER ◆ January 24, 2007P Big forward Belan fits in with Panthers Second Oshawa General to join Pickering juniors this season PICKERING — Coming to the Pickering Panthers after being dropped from the Ontario Hockey League’s Oshawa Generals roster was a bitter pill to swallow for forward Kris Belan. But, the big winger has swallowed it, accepted it, and is more than will- ing to play a leading role with a new team in a new league. “Obviously,” says Belan of his dis- appointment at being transferred to the Panthers recently just before the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League trade deadline. “My first goal was to play in the O. I had played in London with the Knights and I had a good ex- perience in Os- hawa. “It’s disap- pointing com- ing down (to Pickering), but I want to work hard and play Canadian uni- versity hockey next year. I think Pickering is a good place to do that.” Belan accepted his tenure with the Generals was ending due to the num- ber’s game with overage players. As OHL teams can only keep three 20- year-old players on their rosters, the arrival in Oshawa of goaltender Loic Lacasse from the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec major junior league meant a player had to be moved; Belan was the casualty. “As an OA (overage player) it’s a tough spot to be in. I came back from the (Christmas) break and they had a new goaltender, so I was the odd- man out. (Panthers’ head coach) Pat (Curcio) put in a call to (Oshawa head coach/general manager Brad) Selwood and I landed here. I’m glad to be here. It’s a great team.” Belan played in 18 games with the Generals, scoring a goal and adding an assist. He joined the Generals in October, coming over from the Lon- don Knights in exchange for Oshawa’s 15th-round selection in the 2008 OHL Priority Selection Draft. Thus far with the Panthers, the 6- foot, 2-inch, 200-pound forward has found a home on a line with centre and captain Richard Schofield and winger Phil McIlhone, who came back to the Panthers earlier this sea- son after more than a season with the Generals. The line has been a good fit. “They’re two good guys. Schofield’s got an opportunity to play at the next level. It’s a great line and we’ve been getting a lot of scoring chances, but we just have to bury them,” he says. Belan says he’s been in touch with hockey people at the University of Guelph, the University of Toronto and at Ryerson about playing university hockey next year and the prospects are good. “I have offers, I just have to work hard here and hopefully everything will work out,” he says. +ÁÊ,"< Ê "Ê Ài}°Êf£{°Ê°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°fÇ°xä n»Ê +ÁÊ,"< Ê Ài}°ÊfÓ£°Ê°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°f££°ää £ä»Ê +ÁÊ,"< Ê Ài}°ÊfÓx°Ê°°°°°°°°°°°°°°f£Î°ää +ÁÊ,"< Ê- /Ê Ài}°ÊfÎΰʰ°°°°°°°°°°°°°°f£Ç°ää n»Ê <<, ÁÊ Ài}°ÊfÓ{°Ê°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°f£Ó°xä £ä»Ê <<, ÁÊ Ài}°ÊfÓ°Ê°°°°°°°°°°°°°°f£x°ää / Ê" Ê/, /- Ài}°Êf£ä°Ê°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°fx°xä ÕÃÌiÀÊ >ÀÁ]Ê ÞÊ >ÀÁ]Ê +Á->`ÜV +ÁÊ/, /<<Ê*<<ÒÊ Ài}°Êfn°Ê°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°f{°xä Dairy Queen® a family owned & operated business, has been a part of your neighborhood for over 60 years.

Teams likely to tangle in first round of the playoffs By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — If Sunday’s game was a playoff preview between the Pickering Panthers and the Toronto Junior Cana- dians, the Panthers are in dire straits. The Panthers (23-19-2-0 for 48 points), which are a lock to finish fifth in the South Conference standings, will likely play the Torontonians, destined to finish fourth, in the first round of the playoffs. The two teams met for the final time in the regular season on Sunday in To ronto, w ith Pickering dropping a 5-2 decision. As they have so often this season, the Panthers got carried away with undisci- plined play, and the Junior Canadians were only to willing to take advantage, scoring twice with the power play in the third period to break up a 2-2 tie. To ronto added an empty-net marker to record their fifth win of the season over Pickering in the six-game season series. In total, the Panthers were whistled for 12 infractions. By way of compari- son, Toronto was called for only five. “When you play (almost) half the game in the penalty box, it doesn’t mat- ter who you’re playing, you can’t win,” says Panthers’ head coach Pat Curcio. Sunday’s loss was in sharp contrast to a solid game for the Panthers against the visiting Seguin Bruins at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday night. The Panthers broke off a five-game los- ing streak with a 6-2 victory over the cottage country squad. Although the Panthers received 25 minutes in penalties compared to Seguin’s 21, the Panthers were beaten for only one power-play marker in a complete effort. The catalyst for the Panthers was vet- eran forward Cody Smith, who con- nected for four goals in the contest. Phil McIlhone and rookie defenceman Matt Rigtrup netted the other markers. The trick now for Curcio is preparing the club for the playoffs in their remain- ing five games of the regular season, while also being mindful of getting its core group of players healthy for the playoffs. Pickering is still without vet- eran defenceman Kory Helowka (bro- ken thumb), Brendan Hann (shoulder), Chad Beal (shoulder) and Greg Payne (undisclosed). Meanwhile, McIlhone (neck) and Kevin Huinink (wrist) have played through their injuries, but could use some time to fully recuperate in time for the post-season. “It’s tough. We don’t have anything to play for other than to prepare for the playoffs,” says Curcio. “At the same time we have to do what we need to do to have everybody healthy. We’re going to do what it takes to get healthy.” If that means sitting down some play- ers with nagging injuries in order to be ready for the post-season, Curcio says he’s prepared to do that. The Panthers play the North York Rangers in a home-and-home series this weekend. On Friday, the Rangers are at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7:30 p.m. On Sunday, the Panthers are in North York for a 3 p.m. contest.

Meanwhile, former Panther coach, John Winder, now with the Ajax Attack, was named the coach of the year in the conference... Panthers fall once a gain to Toronto By Fariha Naqvi-Mohamed Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — A heartwarming musical of women who use their per- sonal life experiences to set them- selves free is coming to the barn . Rosalind McArthur and Genevieve Proulx star in ‘The Cabaret of the Gilded Cage’, playing at the Herongate Barn theatre starting this weekend. The musical journey includes the music of George Gershwin, Leon- ard Bernstein, Francois Poulenc and Edith Piaf, among others, and is in- terwoven with a melody of humorous and often touching anecdotes and interactions that take both the actors and members of the audience out of their cages. The deliciously beautiful and tal- ented production is based on true life events from the lives of the actors. According to mezzo soprano Ro- salind McArthur, the Cabaret is a unique story of women who grow “o rganically as we explore parts of our lives as singers, breadwinners, mothers, wives and people too.” The women delve into their own pasts and seek music that is reflective of their own thoughts and experiences. The concept of a musical surfaced as a result of the responsibilities and varied roles people play in life. “The various hats we have to wear can make us feel as though we are trapped in a cage, a cage made to look like it is covered with gold, a gilded cage,” Ms. McArthur says. The realization led her to the un- derstanding that this cage “does not have to confine, but rather can be the stability we need to really step out and stretch our wings.” Ms. McArthur, originally from New Zealand, currently resides on a rural property in Pickering. She describes herself as “a mezzo-soprano with a warm, sensual voice, as well as a trained actor and dancer.” She is an experienced vocal instructor and holds a degree in theatre directing. She has performed in New Zealand, Australia, Britain, Canada and the United States, and has trained with a variety of inspired mentors around the globe. She maintains a busy schedule of teaching and performing as well as home schooling her three children and caring for her flock of chickens, ducks and geese, her ever-multiply- ing bunnies, her donkey, her llama, and her pet rat. The question this uniquely in- spired musical dares to ask is about the choices we make in our lives and how we interpret them, whether we feel bound by them, or whether we embrace them and feel free. What adds a unique flavour to this buffet of talent is director Vincenzo Sestito, who began by spending a fair bit of time getting to know each actor, and based the musical on each of their own individual traits, such as the way they spoke, their manner- isms, and both their past and present life experiences. According to Mr. Sestito, what sets this musical apart from anything Herongate has done in the past is “the fact that these women are out there and the material is actually about them, they’re not taking any- one else’s script and doing it. What- ever is there is stuff that’s actually happened in their own lives.” The Cabaret is “funny, touching, thrilling, thought-provoking and ex- citing, with a skein of humour that’s just a little on the subversive side,” Ms. McArthur says. Herongate recently won both the Eat Smart award for a healthy menu, as well as this year’s Reader’s Choice Award for best live entertainment in Ajax and Pickering. ‘The Cabaret of the Gilded Cage’ plays at Herongate, 2885 Altona Rd. in Pickering, Jan. 26, 27, 28, and Feb. 2 and 3. Jan. 28 is a matinee. Ticket prices are $46.95 for the Thursday, Friday, and Sunday shows, includ- ing the matinee, and $49.95 for the Saturday show.

Mark Dittmer and Jenna Lynn from the Wildfire Dancers perform an interpretive dance about abuse. Student art fills walls at Visual Arts Centre DURHAM — The Visual Arts Cen- tre of Clarington is starting off the new year with new works by local high school students. Art From the High Schools opens Jan. 14 and features art done by stu- dents through Clarington. “We have about 30 people in the show,” said VAC’s Linda Ward. She said the students enjoy having their works on exhibit in the gallery, adding it’s the first time many of the young artists have had their works on display in public. As Jeremy Desjardine of the art department at Bowmanville High School said, art must be displayed, as music and theatre must be per- formed. “We need a culture where people learn how to contemplate and culti- vate ideas,” he said. “This fosters understanding and compassion. This is very Canada. The Art from High Schools exhibi- tion represents the opportunity for students to learn this. It represents a desire to support students and un- derstand the consequences of art.” VA C also hosts an open studio for Clarington high school students Monday nights, allowing students to improve and expand their portfo- lios. VA C also provides art prizes for school commencement ceremonies and offers two annual high school bursaries for students going on to study arts in post-secondary educa- tion. The exhibit runs until Feb. 4. at the centre, 143 Simpson Ave., Bowman- ville. Backrow Records holds punk show Jan. 26 DURHAM — Punk’s not dead. At least not at E.P. Taylor’s at Dur- ham College.

World music artist brings touch of Orient to Durham DURHAM — This month’s Oshawa Durham Symphony Orchestra concert has a distinctly Oriental flavour. The guest artist is MTV award-win- ning singer and Asian pop star Dadawa, the first contemporary Chinese female singer to achieve international stardom. She’ll perform songs released on sever- al CDs to date, including the 2006 Seven Day Talk. The orchestra continues the Ori- ental theme with suites from two 20th century ballets, Bela Bartok’s Miracu- lous Mandarin and Igor Stravinsky’s The Firebird and Mily Balakirev’s Oriental fantasy, Islamey. Dadawa in 1990 won second prize in the fourth China Young Singers TV competition. Since then she’s been an ambassador for Asian music, visiting countries and singing in concert halls that include London’s Millennium Dome, Carnegie Hall and Kennedy Centre in the United States. In 1995, her album, Sister Drum, was released in 56 countries and became the top seller in China. A De- cember 2000 concert in Beijing was selected by UNESCO as the opening cultural event of the International Year of Culture and Peace. She’ll bring her world music to Os- hawa Jan. 27. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. at Calvary Baptist Church, Rossland and Ritson roads. Tickets are $40 for adults, $20 for students and children. Tickets are available by phone at 905-579-6711, at numerous outlets in Durham and on- line at www.odso.ca.
