This school year 1,700 students are attending the Ajax high school while a mass Durham District School Board project occurs around them. A $21-million investment, the en- deavour includes 98,000 additional square feet, a new exterior facade, new football/soccer field with an eight-lane running track, two prac- tice fields, and 268 parking spaces. “It’s only a year and the end result is going to be amazing,” said Pickering High School principal, Anne Taylor, as students piled out the front doors, kicking up dust behind them on a recent Friday afternoon. The front of the school has been turned into a vehicle drop-off zone with right turns only allowed when exiting. Ms. Taylor said there’s been some adjustments made, but the kids have been pretty good. “It’s so exciting when you think about what it’s going to look like,” said Ms. Taylor, wearing a hard hat and boots as she walked through the fence gateway and toward the north end of the construction site. During a tour of the construc- tion site on Sept. 11, Ms. Taylor and John Bowyer, superintendent of Ajax schools, explained what was happen- ing. “So this is our gym,” said Ms. Tay- lor, standing near four walls of con- crete block and gravel floor. A small group of workers stood within, where periodically, the sound of equipment could be heard. Nearby, the school’s track has been relocated from the south to the north side of the property to make room for a two-storey addition featuring most of the 26 new classrooms. The school is still using its old gym and borrowing fields from Lincoln Men get pen time for home invasion Victim bound, beaten during ordeal By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Two men have been sent to the penitentiary for a brutal home invasion in which a sleeping vic- tim was terrorized and assaulted before being robbed of his car, high-end TV and other property. Jermaine Hylton, 22, and 27-year-old Kevin Harris, both of Ajax, were sen- tenced to seven years in prison for the 2005 robbery, in which the victim was bound and gagged with duct tape and bashed over the head with a hatchet. Each man was given credit for time served in pretrial custody, meaning Mr. Harris has four years and two months left to serve, while Mr. Hylton was sent to prison for four years and eight months. Superior Court Justice Myrna Lack rendered the ruling Tuesday afternoon in Whitby after hearing tearful pleas from both convicted men, who said they’d learned their lessons and vowed to turn their lives around. The tears and expressions of remorse were in sharp contrast to the picture of two thugs who used violence to rob a helpless victim, as presented by Crown counsel Lori Anne Turner, who recom- mended a sentence of eight to nine years. She described how the two men en- tered the home on Valley Ridge Cres- cent around 4 a.m. on July 26, 2005 by removing a basement window, then ambushed the victim as he lay sleeping in his bed. The man, 36 at the time, was roughed up, bound, and had his eyes and mouth wrapped with duct tape by his assail- ants, she said, describing the man’s or- deal as terrifying. During the robbery the victim was struck in the head with a hatchet and feared for his life, Ms. Turner said. “We are dealing here with convictions that are seen to be among the most serious in the Criminal Code,” she told Justice Lack. The two men were busted by Durham police after a pursuit involving a stolen car in Pickering in September of 2005.

However one of those councillors is poised to motion that the City reimburse Mr. Brenner for nearly $50,000 in legal fees. In June Mr. Brenner was cleared of charges of breach of trust by a public of- ficer and two counts each of fraud under $5,000 and utter forged document in relation to outside clerical services between 1999 and 2000. Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell asked staff to look into the City’s handling of the matter. Her questions ranged from who brought charges against Mr. Brenner to the police to how a television reporter received documents relating to Council’s expenses. The City’s chief administrative officer, Tom Quinn, and City solicitor Andrew Allison prepared the report, answering each of Coun. O’Connell’s questions, as well as those from other council mem- bers. The report, presented to coun- cil Monday night, stated in 2003, City treasurer Gil Paterson received several phone calls from journal- ist Dale Goldhawk stating he had received documents suggesting Mr. Brenner had submitted improper invoices for secretarial services. The City conducted an investiga- tion and found nothing more than poor housekeeping. As a follow-up, Mr. Paterson called the woman named in Mr. Brenner’s invoices. “With those invoices in- volved...we were satisfied at that particular time,” Mr. Quinn said. A few months later, Mayor Ryan also received e-mails from Mr. Goldhawk, asking for an official response to his questions, also providing unreturned e-mails he had sent to Mr. Brenner. In an interview, Mr. Brenner said he had already dealt with Mr. Goldhawk’s e- mails and “I did what the City told me to do.” Mayor Ryan said he had a moral, legal and ethical obligation to protect public funds and confidence in the organiza- tion, so he and Mr. Quinn asked then- City solicitor John Reble to conduct a further investigation. “At times it can be unpleasant, but that does not in any way re- duce, minimize, or eliminate in any way that obligation,” Mayor Ryan said. “It’s one I accept freely, gladly and one I execute to the best of my ability.” Mr. Reble said when he didn’t receive answers after meeting with Mr. Brenner’s lawyer, he met with other lawyers, including Durham Region Crown Attorney John Scott, who instructed him to “turn over the file so that it could be forwarded to (the Durham Re- gional Police Service- DRPS)”. Mr. Reble then suggested Mayor Ryan retain mu- nicipal affairs lawyer Nicholas Macos when he felt it appropriate another law- yer take on the investigation. Mr. Macos and Mr. Reble were then “summoned” to the DRPS to provide information and sign the complaint so an investigation could be launched. Mr. Reble said there is “evidence Nick Macos filed the complaint of instruc- tion from the mayor.” Mayor Ryan said he had to have a complaint signed, as it was needed in order for a police in- vestigation to take place given the ques- tions, investigation and the fact that the Crown “obviously felt investigation was required.” “Given that the police did a preliminary investigation and asked for a complaint to be signed, how could I not?” he said. A DRPS document ob- tained by the News Advertiser indicates Mr. Macos was retained by Mayor Ryan to represent the City. Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dicker- son said he was unhappy with the lack of consultation. “Members of council were never in- formed of this at any time,” he said. “It makes me wonder who in the heck is running this asylum.” Mayor Ryan said the matter remained confidential to protect Mr. Brenner’s pri- vacy. He also added Mr. Brenner could have brought his concerns to council. In an interview after the meeting, Mr. Brenner said, “You just can’t do that. That would be obstruction.” Coun. Dickerson introduced a notice of motion, to be brought to Council in October, that would see the City pay Mr. Brenner’s legal costs. Walking for TerryWalking for Terry Dollars up but participants down in Pickering Page A3 Walking for Terry Dollars up but participants down in Pickering Page A3 Brenner’s the talk of Pickering council Maurice Brenner Three teenagers leaving school for the weekend stop to talk to the News Advertiser By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com AJAX — A few students recently of- fered their thoughts on what it’s like going to school while a massive con- struction project occurs around them. Heading down the sidewalk along- side Pickering High School on a recent Friday afternoon, Grade 12 student Jake Stevens stopped for a moment to discuss the school’s construction proj- ect with the News Advertiser. Although he knew the construction would be occurring when he returned to school in September, he didn’t “think it was going to be as bad as it is. “It’s crowded,” said Jake. “The front hallway every morning you can’t walk, you have to push people away.” Gravel at the front of the school also makes it dusty in the hallways, he said, and added the construction banging can be a distraction. Allison Ferencz, Grade 11, wasn’t happy about the work occurring. “We don’t have a cafeteria right now,” she said. Students are supposed to eat in the gym, outside or go out for lunch. There are also lots of blocked exits and less entrances, she said. Some of the portables don’t have electricity so you can’t hear morning announce- ments either. “I actually think it’s quite ridiculous, they should have done it sooner or found a way around it,” said Allison. Pickering High School principal Anne Taylor said the PA system is under repair. Some of the portables were mixed up, but the problem is being fixed. But for Allison, there are other nui- sances as well. During class, construc- tion banging can interrupt lectures. “It’s really annoying,” said Allison. Before school started, she heard from some friends that summer was going to be extended for three weeks to finish the work, but then she checked the school’s website and discovered it was beginning on time. Kristen Walker, Grade 11, was more understanding of the project. Although it causes some confusion, the school is handling it well, she said. More por- tables were brought in and the library opened for classes. “I knew before it was really old,” said Kristen. “I think it’s good though that they’re getting new things, new track, new classes.” She said the changes will help re- duce crowding in the school.

Sports will feature all “away games” this year, said Ms. Taylor. While heading over toward the south side of the construction proj- ect, Mr. Bowyer said he’s amazed how quickly things are coming along. The architect firm has worked on simi- lar projects at Uxbridge Secondary School and Ajax High School and is used to doing this kind of stuff, he said. On the south side, the school’s caf- eteria was torn down and foundation installed for a new entrance. Further south, dirt piles and holes will be transformed into new classes. Ms. Taylor said in two weeks, limited food services will be available. Pickering High School also has an extensive fire exit plan in place and worked with the fire department and building inspector to ensure the site is safe enough. Construction areas have been blocked off with galva- nized fencing marked with caution signs as well. During the first week of school, there was an assembly about what was going on, safety, construction zones, and off-limit areas. Ms. Taylor also posted information flyers on all exit doors and sent home letters. “For the most part, people are very supportive,” said Mr. Bowyer. “It’s more the information they want.” Inside the school, there’s little evi- dence of exterior work occurring - windows have plywood over them where the cafeteria was before; a stairwell was removed and replaced with concrete bricks and a new emer- gency stairwell was added nearby; a double wall installed in another area where work is happening out- side, and other areas are blocked. Major construction work is also done outside school hours – after 3 p.m. The school has also moved classes away from construction areas and three classrooms were removed com- pletely, contributing to this year’s in- crease in portables from 19 to 26 this year. Ms. Taylor meets every two weeks with the construction crews and the project’s architect to receive timeline updates and work out any concerns. Those interested can also attend a school community council meeting in the school’s library Wednesday, Sept. 26 starting at 7 p.m. Students not happy with construction Fast facts • Two additions will provide 98,000 square feet of 26 classrooms, cafeteria, offices, gymnasium and change rooms. • Renovations include a new guid ance office, two new science labs, new insulated brick/stucco facade, and some new windows. • Exterior work features a new soc- cer and football field, eight-lane run- ning track, two new practice fields, 268 parking spaces and trees. • Construction began May 2007 and should be totally complete by the fall of 2008 with the gym installed this January.

The initiative was part of the TD Canada Trust Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. PICKERING — A concerned motor- ist helped police nab a man who was found to be driving with more than three times the legal limit of alcohol in his system Sunday night in Pickering. The driver, an Oshawa man, twice registered blood-alcohol readings well in excess of the legal limit, Sergeant Paul McCurbin said. Police were contacted by a female driver who was following the man’s pickup truck as it repeatedly swerved on southbound Whites Road around 10:30 p.m., Sgt. McCurbin said. Of- ficers located the vehicle and followed it with emergency lights flashing; while the driver slowed, he did not stop for several blocks. After a roadside sobriety test the man was taken to a police station where he registered blood-alcohol readings of .270 -- far above the legal limit of .080. The 53-year-old Pompano Court man is charged with impaired driving and driving while exceeding the legal blood-alcohol limit. Driver notched three times legal alcohol limit AJAX — An Ajax man is in hospital with a wound to his leg after a shooting outside his home Sunday night. Durham police were called to a resi- dence in the area of Shoal Point Road and Bayly Street around 11:30 p.m., Sergeant Paul McCurbin said. Witnesses told police the victim was with a group of friends outside his home when they were approached by two men who emerged from a foot path; one of the suspects raised his arm and fired a handgun, witnesses said. The suspects were described as two black men, one thin and the other with a heavy build, both of whom wore dark clothing. The victim, 19, was taken to local hospital for treatment of a non life- threatening wound to his lower leg, then transferred to a Toronto hospital, Sgt. McCurbin said. An investigation continues. One wounded in Ajax shooting Durham counterfeit program goes national By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — J. Clarke Richardson students are becoming pros at spotting fake paper money. For the past three years, students in the Ajax high school’s civics and career classes have been taking a Counter- feit Detection unit created by Durham teachers and launched na- tionally this week. The Bank of Canada, the Durham Dis- trict School Board and Dur- ham Regional Police officials attended J. Clarke Richard- son Collegiate Sept. 12 to an- nounce the initiative. “It’s something that can come in handy,” said Neha Kohli, a Grade 11 J. Clarke student who has taken the pro- gram. “No one likes to be ripped off.” Carol Huntington, one of the teach- ers involved in the unit’s creation, said some students have applied their coun- terfeit-detection skills and spotted fake bills during sales at the school. “The students really like it because it’s their money and they’re really in- terested in that,” said Ms. Huntington. She became involved with the proj- ect when a school board facilitator sent out an e-mail asking if anyone was interested. After watching a presenta- tion by the bank, the J. Clarke teacher signed up to work on the module along with Kim Lang and Tabitha Martorelli. “The presentation from the bank was so good and drew us in,” said Ms. Huntington, and added that’s always what they’re hoping to do with stu- dents. In creating the module, they had to find aspects they could tie into the curriculum, develop a list of activi- ties, look at resources such as news- paper articles and videos supplied by the Bank of Canada, and create an assessment tool. Students who take the course have to teach three other people how to spot counterfeits, and pass a quiz to receive a certificate. The unit can also be used by people in co- op and business classes. To teach the counterfeit module, teachers just have to open a binder and everything is included. The prep is minimal and the unit takes two-to- three classes, Ms. Huntington said. After being taught to spot counter- feits, Neha shared the techniques with her parents and siblings. She said she tries to teach it to whomever she can. “It’s something that’s free and saving their money,” said Neha. Once you start checking for security features on your money, it becomes routine, she said. “I tend to check for the raised ink first of all,” said Neha. She also checks the hologram. Neha said those two techniques are the most discreet ways to check money, in case you’re worried some- one will see you and take it personally - even though it’s nothing to be taken personally because people may not know they are handing you a fake. Durham Regional Police chief Mike Ewles said over the past three years they’ve received 3,300 reports of counterfeits and had approximately $140,000 turned into police. Just last week, Chief Ewles received change in smaller bills and didn’t re- alize there was a fake amongst them. Later he went to pay for something and had doubts about a $10 note. “It was a little bit too smooth,” said Chief Ewles. He took it to the bank and it was shredded. “It was a lesson learned,” he added. With so many youth working in the retail sector, it’s important to teach them what to look for. “Raise that level of awareness so at the level of transaction, our students know what to look for, what to feel for and how to politely turn that bill back,” said Chief Ewles.

This weekend, they’ll show 10 to 15 of them at the Durham Avicultural Soci- ety’s (DAS) 30th Annual Bird Show. “Basically bird shows are like dog shows for the most part,” Mr. West said. “Except birds are in cages; not on leads. But they’re basically judged by the same criteria as dogs. There are breed standards for dogs, and there are breed standards for birds.” Finches, parrots, budgies and canar- ies of different breeds will be at the show. They will be judged in their re- spective categories, and a best in show prize will be awarded at the end. Mr. West said there were more than 700 entries at last year’s show. “So there will be lots of birds to see - and hear because the canaries will be singing,” he said. Mr. West kept birds in Britain as a child, and he and his wife have special- ized in an Australian breed, the Lady Gouldian, since around 1990. “This one is a particularly brightly coloured bird,” he said. “It looks like it couldn’t be real it’s so brightly co- loured.” He explained birds should be in “fine feather,” should sit up on the perch properly, look at the judge, re- main tame and be comfortable in the show cage, which is smaller than regu- lar ones. Mr. and Mrs. West have won two Canadian national competitions and one in the United States. “Our prize-winning bird we call David because he’s just like a statue on the perch,” he said. “The judges were all overwhelmed by him because he showed off because that’s all he knew how to do, you know.” He explained DAS exists to promote aviculture, and to gain more interest, especially from young breeders, and also to remind regulators of the good- ness of keeping birds in captivity. “We’re very much opposed to a pro- hibition because we feel that as an educational tool, as a hobby, as a con- servation tool, aviculture has a lot to offer for everyone,” he said. Volunteers needed to help children DURHAM — Volunteers are needed to help Durham children suffering from problems in their homes, includ- ing separation or divorce. The Durham Supervised Access Program, YMCA allows children to build relationships with a parent who is not their official guardian in a safe and child-focused group setting. Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. They are needed to supervise two-hour sessions. Volunteers are key to allowing the children to be in a safe and positive environment. If you enjoy working with children and want to gain valuable experience in this field, or you just want to give back to your community, this volunteer position is for you. Training is provided to all vol- unteers. Volunteers will take notes dur- ing the visits and work with a program co-ordinator. The amount of volunteer time is flexible. Visits occur Friday eve- nings and Saturday afternoons in Ajax, and Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons in Oshawa. If you are interested in volunteering, call Durham Supervised Access Program at 905-619-4565, ext. 305. Birds of feather flock together Fast facts • The show is open to the public on Saturday, Sept. 22 from noon to 4 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 23 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Pickering Recreation Complex, located at 1867 Valley Farm Rd. Exhibitors must register from 7 to 9 a.m. on Satur- day, and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday. • The show will include raffles, refreshments, a silent auction, ven- dors and birds for sale. • Saturday is the regular show, and Sunday is for pet birds. Pets will be judged on appearance and enter- tainment value. • Exhibitors must pay $2 per cage. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for youth (under 12) and seniors.

I could smell the stink of it as it brushed by me. An airport limousine was to pick me up for my fourth trek to Regina in a week (the Re- gina Chamber of Commerce is considering erecting a plaque at the airport in my name). My driver, however, arrived an hour and a half late. Not 10 minutes, not 20 minutes, not even a half hour late... an hour and a half late. That’s a quarter- century late, in airline time. By the time he finally showed up, I was more than a little irked and seriously doubting that I could make my flight. But when the poor guy stum- bled out of the car, I found I just couldn’t get angry. He had bed-head that could’ve given Amy Winehouse a run for her money and the saddest eyes I’ve ever seen outside an ani- mal shelter. He was not having a good day. Besides, I didn’t want to get angry. I’d been fighting the “angrys” all morning. You know how it goes; you get up, looking forward to a nice day and then, maybe, you stub your toe, or you spill coffee on your shirt... or your driver is 90 minutes tardy... and if you let yourself get sucked into that swirling negative cesspool, the next thing you know your whole day is seriously in the dumper. I’d fume at my driver, put myself in a nice little mood, then I’d dump all over the air- line check-in person, who in turn would have her day ruined and grumpily pass the black cloud along to the next person she dealt with. And so on and so on until somebody finally walks into a post office with an AK-47. It’s a hideously perfect chain reaction. I didn’t want that to hap- pen. So, ignoring the ravings of the anal, schedule-worship- ping idiot in the back of my head, I smiled at the guy. I told him, no sweat, if he hustled, really hustled, there was still an outside chance we could make that flight. We could turn this day around. Somehow, though, I don’t think he was completely on board my little ship of hope. Although he began driving like Rita MacNeil on her way to a pig roast, his hangdog expression and glazed eyes told me he was still nowhere near accentuat- ing the positive. And, sure as shooting, just as I thought we might make it on time after all, with a lurch and a heart-sick- ening sputter, the limo died. I sat in the back, laughing un- controllably, convinced there was a camera somewhere feed- ing all of this to the Internet or some reality show. My driver however, looked like Barrabas in a suit. A condemned man. It occurred to me then that although we were both stuck in the middle of the same rot- ten situation, we were making vastly different choices regard- ing it. My ship of hope, having struck another karmic iceberg, was sinking, true, but I was the only one now laughing into the lifeboat. Like a good captain, he’d de- cided to go down with his limo. I jumped in a cab and left him. My day went on to be quite lovely; the way I’d envisioned it. I wasn’t there to see how his played out, but I can guarantee you one thing; good or bad, it was still his choice.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Education minister’s stance ‘inflammatory’ To the editor: Education minister Kath- leen Wynne is being inflam- matory and dishonest in suggesting that John Tory’s proposal to fund non-Catho- lic faith-based schools would take any money away from public education. The money will come out of the education tax dollars paid by families using faith-based schools, which is now part of a $2-billion provincial surplus. Until now this money has been diverted to pay for other programs while the families in question are forced to pay a second time for the education of their children in a manner consistent with their culture. Ontario schools are funded by per pupil grants, so it is in- accurate to claim that extend- ing fairness as Tory is propos- ing will reduce the funding to public schools. Bringing more schools under the umbrella of pub- lic education will actually in- crease funding to public edu- cation, while at the same time extending greater public ac- countability to these schools to the benefit of all Ontarians. Ms. Wynne’s zero-sum claim is the worst sort of divisive fear-mongering. Michael Orr Oshawa Poor lack ‘psychological tools in order to escape the rut of survival’ To the editor: I applaud you for covering poverty issues in your Give Me Shelter series. I challenge you to start thinking we are capable of enabling the poor to become equal participants in society. Yes, the poor need housing and job opportunities, but first they need the psychologi- cal tools to escape the rut of survival. Holding those who are dealing with poverty to the standard of holding a job, obtaining an education, and housing is erroneous as it as- sumes those who are deal- ing with poverty are working within the same foundation in order to compete as equals within society. Over the past eight-plus years I have worked with young people who are home- less or at the street level. Most are diminished or even re- tarded in their psychological development due to crisis in early childhood. Develop- mental psychologists agree that if one stage of develop- ment is severely affected the next is not developed or se- verely mismanaged. How can we as a society hold these young people to a standard to which they are not prepared and have little chance of obtaining because no one has given the them the chance to develop the foun- dation we take for granted? The government’s archaic ap- proach is to throw housing and job-training programs at people. It is possible to help people develop the psycho- logical stages that they are stuck in or have mismanaged, but it takes time and money. Time is what the government will not pay for; they want a quick fix with minimal cost and involvement! The youth we meet with didn’t decide to be homeless. Years of archaic teachings and misguidance, abuse and neglect brought them to the streets and it may take a long time to help them.

EDITORIAL CLICK AND SAY IN THE COMMUNITY Drivers fail safety test in school zones Operation In the Zone rings up more than 1,000 tickets in just four days School started two weeks ago, but it seems many drivers have failed to get the safety message. That’s the only conclusion one could draw from the mas- sive number of traffic tickets written up by Durham traffic cops during Operation In the Zone, which ran the first week of school, Sept. 4-7. An astounding 1,091 tickets were given out, 796 for speeding, 80 for stop-sign infractions and eight for aggressive driving. A large number of the charges were laid against people drop- ping off their children at school. Just when people should be at their most cautious due to all the little ones getting in and out of cars and on and off buses, they’re taking risks that should make them pause and think. The message to all is twofold: Such traffic blitzes make of- fenders pay for disregarding school zone laws and far too many people -- despite awareness raised by media, police and school boards -- are not paying attention to the safety of school chil- dren. Operations like In the Zone along with RIDE are necessary to focus attention on those who ignore traffic laws and whose ac- tions could result in needless tragedy. What’s upsetting is that those dropping their children off at school should be keenly aware of the potential for disaster, what with all the youngsters walking in the vicinity and the usual high volume of vehicles at drop-off points. It’s vital motorists take it slow and be careful to avoid speeding, failing to stop at stop signs and numerous other traffic-related issues. For Sergeant Shawn Arnott, the wake-up call is necessary: “I think it’s very important -- just to give people a tap on the shoul- der.” As much as the tickets issued, the publicity that police are in the area and are watching drivers is vital. As Sgt. Arnott says, “Sometimes, police presence in the area does as much good as writing tickets.” But parents -- in large part they’re the guilty ones -- have to pay attention and take care. Remember that each life is precious and saving a few seconds in driving time could mean a lifetime of pain and heartbreak for another’s family. It just isn’t worth it.

FALL FERTILIZATION The most beneficial time to fertilize your lawn is in the fall. By fertilizing in the fall, when the roots have already established, a healthy and deep root system is able to store nutrients over the winter months to be used in the spring. One of the best fertilizers is grass cuttings and leaf mulch, which is free and can be left on your lawn to produce shade and frost protection. It is also recommended to use an organic fertilizer to ensure a reliable source of nutrients. A fish fertilizer is a good option because it is completely biodegradable. It increases drought tolerance and promotes root growth instead of surface growth. We are offering kits to purchase that include a fish fertilizer that can be applied in mid-September. If you would like more information please contact Mary Williams at 905.420.4660 ext 2212.

About 175 people attended the run last year, whereas 135 at the most came to this one. However, last year Pickering raised just more than $20,300, and this year the dollars are still coming in, but the total is hover- ing between $21,000 and $22,000. The City of Pickering has raised more than $677,200 for the Terry Fox Foundation since Pickering began tak- ing part in 1986. “Numbers were down for partici- pants, and even though it is a little bothersome, you can’t look at that because we collectively raised a good chunk of money and it all goes to research that if we didn’t do it, they wouldn’t have it,” he said. Mr. Cahill has been involved in the run for the past 21 years, and said all he needs is a couple of people to compliment the Pickering Terry Fox Run Committee’s work for them to feel good about it. His spirits brightened when he and other committee members received positive feedback about the run this year. “That’s what keeps you going, you know,” he said. “You kind of like that because they know you’re in it for the right reasons, as they are.” Mr. Cahill mentioned Pickering schools are taking part in the Terry Fox National School Run Day, and be- lieves that could be a reason the actual day of the run didn’t attract as many participants as previous years. “It’s still a good news story,” he said. “Way to go Pickering. We’re still alive and well here, still moving along, still making some good money, and you know, we’ll keep going. “Our group is still pretty uppity about it. They all said they’re coming back next year.” www.pickeringmarkets.com dockdogs will be here!

The 41-year-old Bowmanville angler will be sharing plenty of those with you now that he’s a blogger on our website at www.durhamregion.com. But he looks forward to your responses and comments as well, so check him out now. “With over 35 years of fishing ex- perience and 25 of those competing on Canada’s most competitive Bass and Walleye circuits, I have fished in some of the best and worst fishing conditions,” Dunn says. “With a unique outlook on fishing, the environment and life, I hope to pass on and share infor- mation on the how, where, what and when of catching Southern Ontario’s game fish both big and small.” Dunn and his partner Garnet Ar- mitage, also of Bowmanville, recently walked off with the $6,000 top prize from a bass tournament held in Brid- genorth. The funny thing is, despite owning a cottage on Buckhorn Lake for the past 20 or so years, he had never previously won on what he would call his home water: the Tri-Lake system of Buckhorn, Pigeon and Chemong. But he has done plenty of winning otherwise, and is passionate about his sport and the environment. His blog can be followed directly at: http://durhamregion.typepad.com/fish- ing_dude/. [ Hockey ] Maple Leafs in Durham for intrasquad tilt DURHAM — While Paul Mau- rice was rather coy in terms of what it meant to see his hockey club go through the motions in their annual Blue vs. White game, his captain was elated to see the support Oshawa provided for his troops. Mats Sundin and the rest of the Toronto Maple Leafs were in Oshawa Sunday and, as expected, received quite a warm welcome from the Os- hawa faithful, who seemed to enjoy every minute of a 5-1 Blue win over the White team. “It was great. I mean, where do you see that for any other hockey team other than the Toronto Maple Leafs, that kind of support, for an intrasquad game,” said Sundin who received the loudest of the cheers from the near capacity crowd. There’s no slowing her down Despite cancer, Pauline Haste continues her goal of lining up at Boston Marathon By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — Nothing, not even the onset of cancer, has slowed down Pauline Haste’s love of running and her pursuit of a long-held goal. Most mornings for the past five years, the petite 53-year-old Ajacian faithfully runs along the Ajax waterfront, mostly on her own, but sometimes she sets out with a training partner for the longer training sessions. “We’re so lucky to have that lake,” she says, with the Lake Ontario shoreline serving as a backdrop to her five-times- a-week training sessions that typically add up to six kilometres a day. Of late, she’s increased it to 32 kilo- metres once a week in anticipation of her first big test: her first, full marathon -- all 26 miles or 42.2 kilometres of it, to be exact. She’ll get that opportunity at the Sco- tiabank Waterfront event on Sept. 29. There’ll be no trepidation and no look- ing back when she lines up on the track against other runners but, more impor- tantly, herself. “There’s always that thought that with all this training, that you still might not have done enough. You have to kind of get over it and just achieve it for your- self.” She also hopes to cross the finish line in Toronto in under four hours and five minutes, as that’s the qualifying stan- dard for her age group for the Boston Marathon next year. “I’m hoping to qualify for Boston,” she says, adding that qualifying will be the ultimate birthday present to cel- ebrate her 54th that day. “I’m hoping to do that time. “I really love my running, but I can’t run and not have a goal. If I didn’t have that goal (of running at Boston), I wouldn’t do it.” Five years ago, Haste started training in the martial art of karate, which also led her to take up running in order to keep in shape and prepare for the train- ing sessions. She’s never looked back. “Up until four or five years ago, I had never run in my life,” she explains. “What happened is I started karate and part of the warm-up for karate was run- ning. I’m glad I went to karate, because through that I discovered I liked run- ning.” Unfortunately, during her stint in ka- rate, she discovered she bruised easily -- too easily -- which prompted her to seek medical advice. She was even- tually diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2003 which, she noted, was met with horror and shock, but certainly not with a defeatist attitude. So far, she notes, the cancer hasn’t required treatment as it exists in a low- grade form in her blood and is currently dormant. Haste gave up on karate because of the acute bruising, but running? No way. “They caught it in the early stag- es,” she explains. “Running keeps me healthy and keeps it away. It hasn’t impacted my training, no, not at all. You have to have a mental attitude to fight it, and win.” Most recently, she finished first in her 50-59 age group at the Whitby Mini- Marathon, bettering her previous time by several minutes for a half-marathon of 1 hour, 50 minutes she established three years ago in Toronto. The sport of long-distance running is for her, as it requires very little beyond persistence and dedication. “It’s a good sport in that you don’t need to get a partner. You can just go whenever you like and you don’t have to plan a certain time every week, you can just go whenever you want.” Haste’s also grateful for the support from her husband, John, who’s been encouraging of her running pastime. “If I didn’t have his support, I wouldn’t be able to do it,” she says.

The Ajacian, who’s living with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, hopes to qualify for next year’s Boston Marathon.

Panthers drop home opener to Markham By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Never mind the Pickering Panthers being short-staffed, or facing a still undefeated Markham Waxers squad that appears to be the class of the conference in the early going of the regular season. Pickering Panthers’ head coach Mark Joslin expected much more from his players, certainly better all-around ef- forts that failed to materialize on the weekend. The depleted Panthers’ bench, with several key veterans still vying for posi- tions at Ontario Hockey League camps, were no match for the Waxers, who swept aside the Pickering juniors in a home- and-home series in OHA Ontario Pro- vincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League South Conference play. The Waxers (4-0-0-0) spoiled the Panthers’ home opener at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Sunday night, beating the hosts 4-1. Two nights earlier in Markham, the Waxers scored a 4-3 vic- tory, with a Pickering third-period come- back falling short. The Panthers (1-2-0-0) return to the ice tonight (Wednesday, Sept. 19), when they host the newest South Conference squad, the Dixie Beehives, at the com- plex at 7:30 p.m. ✦ See Panthers, Page B2 For more on this story PAGE B2 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ September 19, 2007P endentInsuranceBroker CoversYouBest ™ An Independent Insurance Broker Covers You Best MARSHA JONES DOOLEY CIP, CAIB, RIB (ONT.) “Personal Service Makes A Difference” Serving Durham Since 1985 INSURANCE BROKERS Auto | Property | Motorcycle Marine | Commercial Call today 905-427-3595 or visit www.jones-dooleyinsure.com JONES - DOOLEY INSURANCEINSURANCE SPECIALIST SPECIALIST astern avestroughing Ltd.EE SINCE 1980 Residential Commercial Industrial Seamless Eavestroughing Aluminum Soffi ts & Fascia and Siding “Year Round Service“ 905-686-4175 835 Westney Rd S U#8 EAVESTROUGHING & SIDING1 Home Service Professionals runs every other Wednesday.

The Cougars’ senior girls’ squad dominated the competition in Kings- ton, while the junior girls’ team shot its way to the championship at the Donald A. Wil- son Secondary School Tourna- ment in Whitby. In the senior girls’ event, Notre Dame posted a 5-0 re- cord in Kings- ton, including a 54-26 rout of St. Edmund Cam- pion school of Brampton in the final. Nicholle McK- enzie led the way with a game-high 26- point effort. Lindsay Panchan followed with 18 points for the Cougars. Cougars’ head coach Rose Book- er noted her team created match-up problems for every opponent in the tournament, as they had no answer for Notre Dame’s skill and size in the post, provided by McKenzie and Pascal, the team’s top re- bounder. Booker also noted McKen- zie and Pascal are joined in the front court by two new recruits, Grade 9 forward Shanica Baker and Monique Johnson, who moved up to the senior ranks from junior. Both have been pleasant surprises thus far. “She plays with a lot of confidence,” says the coach of Baker. She added Johnson also “rebounds well” and is a solid addition to the front court. Booker also praised the work of her guards, especially returning point guard Catherine Bougoulias who “ran the offence expertly,” although the team has yet to hit the floor for its Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) regular season. Bougoulias is joined in the backcourt by shooting guard Panchan, who was named the most valuable player of the Kingston tournament. In the semifinal contest, the Cou- gars advanced to the final with a strong 56-39 vic- tory over Thou- sand Islands Sec- ondary School. McKenzie again led the way with a 20-point per- formance. Point guard Cathe- rine Bougoulias chipped in with 16. Notre Dame opened the tourna- ment by crushing Sydenham 60-10. Rhea Pascal netted 17, followed by McKenzie with 14. Next, the Cougars downed Fronte- nac from Kingston 65-35 in Game 2. McKenzie paced Notre Dame with 19. Pascal had 14, followed by Panchan with 10. In Game 3, the Notre Dame seniors kept their winning streak intact, put- ting themselves in the playoffs after scorching Sacred Heart of Markham 60-29. McKenzie continued her solid tournament play with a 16-point ef- fort; Pascal and Panchan each had 12. Meanwhile, the Notre Dame junior girls’ ended an undefeated run at the Wilson tournament with a 58-25 victo- ry over the Sinclair Secondary School Celtics of Whitby. In the crossover game, with the win- ner going to the final, Notre Dame downed host Wilson Gators 54-26. Notre Dame started tournament play with a 65-11 mauling of the GL Roberts Lakers of Oshawa. Rona Tomayo was the top scorer for the Cougars. In Game 2, the Cougars blasted Sin- clair 64-25, with Maria Penola leading the charge. Tomayo was the top re- bounder. In its third game, the Notre Dame ju- niors cruised past the All Saints Catho- lic Secondary School Titans of Whitby, 68-11. Penola again led the Cougars. The senior Cougars travel to Lon- don next weekend to compete at the University of Western Ontario’s Purple and White Tournament. LOSSA play for the Notre Dame senior and junior girls’ teams starts next Monday, Sept. 24, against the Uxbridge Secondary School Tigers in Uxbridge. Rhea Pascal Catherine Bougoulias Nicholle McKenzie Two tournaments, two titles for Notre Dame girls Don’t ask Joslin to use a dearth of play- ers, especially on the forward lines, as an excuse for a pointless weekend against Markham. The players on the ice have to perform. And, to a man, they didn’t. “I was disappointed with the overall effort,” noted a grim-faced Joslin follow- ing Sunday’s game. “I know we were short bodies and we’ve got some injuries, but we still have to compete every single shift we go out there and I don’t think that happened tonight.” Panthers’ starting goaltender Connor Sampson says the weekend losses are part of the learning curve for a relatively young Panthers’ team. “We’re still learning how to click,” says Samp- son, who played well Sunday, de- spite allowing four goals on 35 Markham shots. “We’ll have to come back hard (against Dixie) on Wednesday.” The Panthers had opportunities to re- verse their fortunes, especially in Sun- day’s home-opening loss to Markham. Pickering had numerous power play chances, but wasted them, going a woeful 1-for-11 with the man advantage. Their string of power-play futility included a second-period 5-on-3 man advantage for a full two minutes that went for naught. To add insult to injury, on two of those power plays, the Waxers turned the tables, scoring short-handed markers, which went a long way toward sealing the Panthers’ fate. The power-play woes didn’t go unno- ticed by Joslin, who says special-teams play will be on the agenda at the next Panthers’ practice. “We probably don’t have the person- nel we want in the lineup veteran-wise, but we gave up a short-handed goal Fri- day night in Markham as well and that’s unacceptable. Obviously, our power play will be addressed...until we get it down pat,” says Joslin. The Panthers fell victim to slow starts in both weekend matches with Markham. In the early going of Sunday’s game, Pan- thers’ Jamie MacQueen had a chance to put Pickering ahead, but inexplicably whiffed with a yawning cage, instead lift- ing a shot over the cross-bar. Joslin says early Panther misses had an impact on the outcome. “Absolutely, I think we needed a good start to get the crowd into it. If we had of got one of those bounces, it might have been a different game. When you don’t get those bounces, you have to work even harder to create your own bounces. But, after that start, we didn’t work hard enough to create our own bounces.” SCORING SUMMARY Waxers at Panthers, Sunday, Sept. 16 Period 1 Markham - Michael Catenacci (Michael Scheu) 11:09 Period 2 Markham - Catenacci (SH) (Cody Hamil- ton, Alex Tillaart) 3:39 Markham - David Mathers (Todd Krupa, Bryan Black) 12:58 Period 3 Markham - Mark Cornacchia (SH) (Scheu) 3:45 Pickering - Jamie MacQueen (PP) (Bren- dan Hann, Greg Riggs) 15:34 ✦ Panthers from page B1 Panthers’ power play sputters against Waxers Connor Sampson DURHAM — Durham Region high school football is set to kick off for the 2007 season, and some changes will accompany the new gridiron cam- paign. The Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) football season be- gins Thursday, with more Durham schools than ever fielding teams. The LOSSA senior division expands from 15 to 18 teams this season -- the largest number in LOSSA foot- ball history. New arrivals are Ajax High, Brock and Clarington Central. Out are the Denis O’Connor Catholic High School Chargers, which started in the league in 1993. Ajax High’s back after a one-year absence; Brock returns for the first time since 1986 and Clarington Central is making its debut in senior football. LOSSA senior convener Rick Townend notes the new teams will make the league stronger and more competitive. “We just seem to keep expanding,” notes Townend. “We’re into the north with Brock and in the east with St. Stephen’s at the junior level and Clar- ington coming in. They’re all good signs of football in the region. It will make it more competitive.” New this year is the senior division structure, as the LOSSA executive has set up three, six-team divisions -- each named after Durham high school football coaching legends. The ‘Powers Division’ is named after for- mer Monsignor Paul Dwyer coach Mike Powers. In the division, consid- ered the tier 1 category, are Dunbar- ton, Dwyer, Pickering, Pine Ridge, St. Mary and Donald A. Wilson. In the ‘Hiron Division’, named after long-time Pickering High School coach Graham Hiron, are Bowman- ville, Brock, Clarington, Courtice, Holy Trinity and Port Perry. In the ‘Mazza Division’, in honour of Uxbridge Secondary School coach Phil Mazza, are Ajax, Eastdale, Notre Dame, Richardson, Sinclair and Ux- bridge. Townend admits there are mixed reviews regarding the new divisions at the senior level, but he’s convinced the realignment will serve the greater good of football in the region. “There are ripples and issues, but it’s going to be a good thing. It will help teams compete on a level play- ing field or at least be competitive. Every game means something.” Meanwhile, in the junior loop, three new teams will join the fray: Notre Dame, Sinclair and St. Stephen’s. It’s the first time at the junior level for Ajax’s Notre Dame Cougars, as senior head coach Brian Hughes used his Coach of the Year award funds to field the school’s junior entry. Like Notre Dame, Sinclair has operated with only a varsity team since join- ing LOSSA in 2001. Meanwhile, St. Stephen’s, of Bowmanville, will field its first-ever football team. The junior teams will be split into the West Division and East Division. In the East Division are Brock, Clar- ington, Paul Dwyer, Eastdale, Holy Trinity, Port Perry, St. Stephen’s and Uxbridge. West Division teams are Ajax, Dunbarton, Notre Dame, Pickering, Pine Ridge, Richardson, St. Mary, Sinclair and Wilson. In senior football, the Pickering High School Trojans are the team to beat -- as they are almost every season. The Trojans return to the gridiron as defending LOSSA cham- pions, winning titles from 2004 to 2006, inclusive. They’re also com- ing off a 2006 season in which they were Metro Bowl finalists, losing to St. Michael’s College Kerry Blues in the final played at Toronto’s Rogers Centre. A fourth straight LOSSA title may be more difficult this season for the Trojans, owing to construction at the Church Street North school that will keep them off their home field for the entire campaign. As in previous seasons, the Trojans will feature strong, athletic teams pre- sided over by long-time head coach John Martini, who brought the Tro- jans’ only Metro Bowl title to Durham Region two years ago. Townend believes the Trojans will continue to be the kings of Durham football, but looks to Dwyer, Wilson and St. Mary to provide the toughest challenges to the defending LOSSA champs. “They’re deep and they have a few new bodies. They have an ex- cellent coach; John Martini is real good. They’re going to be strong, but they’re in a division where everyone will give them a game.” The Trojans kick-off its pursuit of a fourth consecutive LOSSA title on Friday when they travel to Pickering to meet the Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas at 1:30 p.m. Are you ready for LOSSA football?

The idea was conceived and de- veloped by entertainment veterans Lorraine Green-Kimsa, Judy Scott- Jacobs and Brian Pearcy. “(The audience) will certainly go out humming lots of tunes that they know. It’s a very happy, upbeat show. Just real entertainment,” said Scott- Jacobs, musical director and show producer. Pearcy, a regular performer at the Barn, is the show’s principal writer. He is also one of six actors in the ensemble. He said the show is a great deal of fun. The others actors are Mel (Mary Louise) Hinch, formerly of Ajax, Laurie Hay from Etobicoke, Toron- to’s Claire Duncan, Winnipeg native Roger Larios, and Mike Yaneff of Scarborough. “Fun” is the word they all used to describe the show. “I love it. No one has the lead, per se. [We] help each other out, said Larios. “Singing all those classics is so much fun,” said Hay. “The hours just fly by,” added Hinch. The ensemble is accompanied by pianist Claire Bresee, drummer Marc Siverski, and bassist Roger Moniz. “It’s always more of a challenge to put together your own show,” said Scott-Jacobs. She said her biggest challenge was ensuring the songs go together seam- lessly. Green-Kimsa, show director and choreographer, agreed. “All have individual strengths and (we) try to capitalize on that to make a good ensemble,” she said. “They look well together and they’re having fun. That’s important. If they have fun, the audience will have fun.” She added some aspects of the rehearsal, such as the tap segment, were a slow process. “Tap always looks so easy but it takes a lot of practise and a lot of work,” said Green-Kimsa. The show is in two acts. The first is a chronological review of music in the movies. The second portrays going down the red carpet at the Academy Awards. “It features award-winning songs, and songs that didn’t win, but people thought should have beautiful old songs like ‘Moon River’, ‘Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head’, Scott-Ja- cobs said of the show’s second act. Despite the number of years cov- ered in the revue, the show is less than two hours long. ‘Let’s go to the Movies’ closes on Oct. 27. The Herongate Barn Theatre is at 2885 Altona Rd., between Taunton and Whitevale roads. For tickets and more information, call 905-472-3085 or visit www.herongate.com.

Gary Island, through Real Enter- tainment Network Events, will pres- ent The House Concert Series, with the first slated for Oct. 20 at the Arts Resource Centre, on Queen Street, downtown Oshawa. “Traditional house concerts existed before concert halls and now there’s a small resurgence in Canada and new to Durham Region,” he said. “House concerts are held in liv- ing rooms, rec rooms, basements, renovated garages, church halls, club houses and small theatres.” House concerts are great ways to hear live music without having to pay a high cost of transportation and parking, he said. There’s plenty of in- teraction between the audience and performers, he said. The Arts Resource Centre is an in- timate location for the concerts, al- though he’s also looking for home locations for future ones. The Oct. 20 concert will feature Jory Nash, providing a tribute to Gordon Lightfoot and Paul Simon, along with some of his own material, a mix of folk, jazz, blues and soul. Tickets are $22.50 which include refreshments at intermission. Only 60 seats are available. Tickets must be purchased in advance at The Casket Store, 19 Brock St. W., Oshawa.

Charlie Cooper works at his art every day, year in, year out. Cooper, 92, is an honorary life member of Oshawa Art Association and will be one of the 60 members taking part in the 26th annual OAA Fall Art Festival, Sept. 20 to 23 at Northview Community Centre. The self-taught artist has lived all his life in Oshawa. “I’ve been doing this for 40 years,” Cooper said during an interview. “I’m fortunate that I have a spot in a company that makes silk screens for the auto industry. I go down every day and work at my art every day.” His art is serigraphy, said to be the oldest form of art reproduction, also called silk-screen printing. It’s a stencilling method that involves a fabric mesh screen, stretched across a frame. A polyester mesh is used today but the technique is the same. Paper is placed under the screen and inks are applied to the image in a lengthy process that involves block- ing out areas that aren’t meant to be coloured. “You don’t do it overnight,” Cooper said. “It’s not an easy process.” There’s a lot of work, cleaning up the ink between each “pull,” he said. One print took 79 pulls, 45 colours and 90 hours to do. Another took 114 hours, another 100 pulls. He also sketches the pictures he’s going to print. He keeps track of each piece he does, how long it takes to do each one, how many colours and pulls were involved. He puts all of this information along with copies of the works on his website. Just search for charles cooper serigraph and you’ll find him. He’ll have about seven or eight prints in the art show coming up next weekend. About 60 artists are taking part in the show, said Alvin Herrington, in charge of publicity for OAA. It’s one of two big events the association holds each year, the other being a spring ju- ried show at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery. Members of OAA come from all over Durham Region and beyond. Admission to the show at North- view, 150 Beatrice St. E., is free. There are door prizes, donated by the art- ists, and a raffle for an original paint- ing.

Dancing the night away with Little Caesar To recall the memory of a loved son Colin Frank Gerrits March 9, 1989 ~ Sept. 20, 2003 And those that think of him today Are those who loved him best. Four years have passed And we are missing you, so very much Our house still feels so empty As you were the PILLAR of our home. They say time heals everything But we know that isn't so Because it hurts as much today As it did four years ago. And memory never fades As each day and night time that passes Bring tears and words unsaid. But Colin Someday we'll sit and talk And get an old fashion bear hug again. Our thoughts are always with you Your place no one can fill In life we loved you dearly In death we love you still. Life seemed to mean so much before Colin, our thoughts are of you They same time heals The healing has yet to start Yet four years have healed so little pain. Lots of love, Mom, Dad, Kurtis, cousins and friends IN MEMORIAM Our papa,MIKE MARUCCI We have realized over the past year that although you are not physically with us you remain present in every aspect of our lives. The sight of a green tracker, the smell of asphalt, the taste of lemon gelato, the song that Juliette sings. We are grateful for the wonderful memories we have for they fill the gaping holes in our hearts and remind us about how lucky we are that we had you as our father. We are grateful for the father who loved us fiercely, unconditionally and selflessly. The man who worked his whole life to make a better one for us. A man who taught about generosity, sacrifice and love not by his words, but through his actions. We remind ourselves that our father left us far more than he took with him; a legacy of love. We remember you on this day, Pa Comforted by so many memories With all of our love, Mike & Terri Dawn & Steve, Nathan & Juliette IN MEMORIAM For My Loving Husband, Mike A million times I've needed you, A million times I've cried, If love could have saved you dear, You never would have died. Things we feel most deeply, Are the hardest things to say, My dearest Mike, I loved you, In a very special way. If I could have one lifetime wish, One dream that could come true, I'd pray to God with all my heart, For yesterday and you. With all of my love, Marlyn STRESS FREE!!!!! LEAVE THE CLEANING TO US!!!!!
