Home My WebLink AboutNA2007_09_23Site is in industrial area and close to where waste is generated: Curtis By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A preferred site for a proposed energy-from-waste (EFW) facility that would burn garbage has been chosen by con- sultants and it’s in Clarington. A report released on Sept. 21 by Genivar and Jacques Whitford, retained by the regions of Durham and York to identify where an EFW facility should be located, states that a site in Courtice has the best balance of advantages and disad- vantages. “From my perspective, the greatest advantage is that it’s fairly close to where the waste is being generated,” said Cliff Curtis, the Region’s commissioner of works. “Generally, it’s in an industrial area and it’s fairly remote for most residential uses and it’s generally unobtrusive.” The site is located on the west side of Osbourne Road, with the nearest intersection Hwy. 401 and Courtice Road in Courtice.

NEWS ADVERTISER PICKERING — Pickering has received “5 blooms” from Communities in Bloom, something very rare for a community’s first year participating in the competi- tion, says a Pickering City councillor. Bill McLean, Ward 2 Regional Council- lor and Communities in Bloom Advisory Committee co-chairman, at the latest Council meeting announced Pickering had received top honours, and thanked all businesses, residents, sponsors, judg- es and City staff who got involved. He also announced that Pickering had won the 2007 Environmental Awareness Award as well. “It was real inspirational to see how everyone got on board and participated in this,” he said. “We’re looking forward to participating in it next year.” Mayor Dave Ryan, also co-chairman of the committee, said he’s very proud of Pickering’s effort, demonstrating its pride, passion and commitment. “Being judged as one of Ontario’s very best Communities in Bloom municipali- ties is a watershed moment in Pickering’s history,” he said in a press release. The non-profit Canadian beautification program judged participating municipali- ties on the following criteria: tidiness; en- vironmental awareness; community in- volvement; natural and cultural heritage conservation; tree/urban forest manage- ment; landscaped areas; floral displays; and, turf and ground covers. Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson said as chairman of the Pickering Sus- tainability Advisory Committee, he was pleased to see Pickering receive top hon- ours in regard to its environmental initia- tives. The following residents’ gardens re- ceived 5 blooms: Alex Galambos, Andrea Jenner, Anita Fisher, Betty Vella, Candace Carter, Carol McLeod, Carolyn Kasperski, Costa Chris- tuy, Gail Corbett, Heather Stackhouse, Jean Boutet, Joni Gillingham, Laurie Mc- Caig, Myra Hay, Patricia Slack, Rehana Nacvi, Rosemary Aiken, Steven Harker, Terry Hudson, Willi Daenzer.

O’Connell, Ajax Mayor Steve Par- ish, Ajax-Pickering MPP Mark Holland and WRT executive director Marlaine Koehler were among those who completed the ride. Ms. Koehler said Pickering’s waterfront has great aspects, and one of her favourite spots along the trail is Dorsey James’ wood carvings at Millennium Square. “In Pickering you can actually feel like you’re in the canopy of the trees going over that beautiful bridge over Petticoat Creek, which happens to be one of the 52 projects we’re celebrating,” she said. A common criticism of Lake Ontario’s waterfront is some parts in Scarborough lack signs to help riders find their way, and mak- ing a stronger connection will help make it a more rider-friendly route, which Mayor Parish, an avid cyclist, believes can bring tourism to Durham. “This is a well-kept secret that has to not be a secret any more because what we have here is just a tremendous asset for all the communities up and down the lake,” he said. Pleased with the work and money that has gone into Ajax’s “phenomenal waterfront trail,” he said Pickering has also come a long way with its trails and called some sections “just fantastic.” Coun. O’Connell said future projects in- clude regenerating the First Nations Trail (the western entrance into Pickering), and some minor improvements around the Duf- fins Creek Water Pollution Control Plant. “We have a really good opportunity so I can’t wait to do more,” she said. Mr. Holland said all the work has been great, but it’s important to keep the his- torical aspect of First Nations and European settlement in the plans. “I think that’s a really important part of the plan and I wouldn’t want to see it get lost,” he said. Pickering blooms in competition north end of Courtice, is disappointed, but said she isn’t surprised by the preferred site selection. She said many residents of Clarington have assumed the Courtice site would be the preferred one. She thinks the site was pre- determined, but despite that will continue to speak out against incineration and the process the Region has taken. There were 12 sites identified in the draft report by consultants, including one in Whitby, two in Oshawa and one in Pickering. Four of the five spots on a short list of potential sites released on March 23 were in Clarington, but in June two were removed from the list. “I think the process has confirmed that Clarington did have a couple of good sites. I think what we are left with at the end of the process is the best site in Durham,” Mr. Curtis said. The Durham and York Joint Waste Man- agement Group meets on Sept. 25 to hear the consultants’ recommended preferred site and an overview of the Environmental Assessment (EA) progress to date. A public information session on the pre- ferred site is scheduled for Oct. 3 from 2 to 11 p.m. at the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex in Bowmanville. Public can have say on site at Oct. 3 meeting ✦ Public from page 1 Pickering has ‘fantastic’ trails Former councillor was cleared of breach of trust and fraud charges By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Former City councillor Maurice Brenner said the privacy issue that arose during Monday’s council discus- sion regarding himself re- ally stood out to him as he watched from home. “That (privacy) was one that personally I always find very interesting because it’s a matter of people’s rights and that part of it was some- thing I guess I probably tuned into even more,” he said. He said the issue is not just about himself, but the way in which people expect to be treated in terms of pri- vacy. The topic arose in regard to the fact that journal- ist Dale Goldhawk some- how got his hands on Mr. Brenner’s expenses, which started the investigation. Durham Regional Police charged Mr. Brenner with breach of trust by a public officer and two counts each of fraud under $5,000 and utter forged document, but the charges were dismissed in June at the Ontario Court of Justice. Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell request- ed a report on what really transpired. What stood out most to Mr. Brenner includ- ed why Council as a body was never made aware of the charges until it went public and rights of privacy. In regard to Mayor Dave Ryan’s suggestion that Mr. Brenner could have brought concerns to council if he felt he was improperly being in- vestigated, Mr. Brenner said it wasn’t his job to go to council because the inves- tigation was about him, and that could have obstructed matters. “It wasn’t for me to ques- tion it,” he said. “It was for me to co-operate with the process and for whoever was doing the process to do what they had to do, or what they thought they had to do.” Mr. Brenner said after he was approached by Mr. Goldhawk, he reported it to the City, and was advised to leave the matter alone. It was then that the direc- tor of corporate services and treasurer Gil Paterson conducted his own due dili- gence review by calling the woman named on the sec- retarial services invoices in question. Mr. Paterson testi- fied in court that he was sat- isfied with the phone call, and Mr, Brenner wonders why the investigation con- tinued even after Mr. Pater- son reviewed it. 905-697-9992 www.kingswayarms.com IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR CHOICES65 Clarington Blvd. • (905) 697-9992 www.kingswayarms.com • email: tbudden.kams@rogers.com “Please Join Us for” OPEN DOORS 2007 Wellness For Seniors 10-4pm • 10 am and 11 am -- Fitness Demonstration • 1:00 pm -- Safe Medication Use Leanne Travis, Pharmacist • 2:00 pm -- Presentation: Falls Prevention Erin McLauglin, Physiotherapist • 3:00 pm -- Presentation: Keeping Your Mind Motivated Kristin Nawrot, RPN Foyer Studio Hourly Presentations, Refreshments, Live Entertainment & Door Prizes.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS durhamregion.com Sky-high loonie presents challenges Consumers owed a break on American imported goods W e made history on Thursday. The Canadian dollar rose above the U.S. dollar, albeit briefly, for the very first time in more than 30 years. It’s been a long slow crawl, but what does it mean and how can Canadians take advantage of it? If there is any justice, it should mean the premium Ca- nadians pay on goods imported from the United States -- think of a wide variety of products like books, produce, clothing, vehicles almost anything you can name -- should drop dramatically and immediately. It’s not as though we’re paying with a loonie worth 70 or 80 cents against the U.S. dollar. After all, we’re on par now. Odds are, costs won’t be adjusted as quickly as they should be and outsize profits will continue to be made. But consumers should be demanding lower prices from retailers and should force the issue. It would be nice if, for instance, the Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Blue Jays and Toronto Raptors, who all pay their players in U.S. dollars but who receive Canadian dollars for tickets and merchan- dise, would give the fans a nice break. Of course, snowbirds and any other tourists eager to make a trip to the United States have never had a better reason to go. The flip side is that those coming to Canada are going to get less for their money than they’ve been used to. That $150 Canadian room that used to cost, say, $110 American, is now even-steven. The major concern, as it has been for some time, is that the value of exports, and their cost to those receiving them, has skyrocketed over the past few years. Consider, for instance, vehicles produced by General Motors. Built in Canada with parts supplied locally and valued in Cana- dian dollars, those cars and trucks used to be a good 20-30 per cent less costly than similar vehicles manufactured in the United States. Now, they are on par and not quite the incredible value they were three or four years ago. What it means is that our manufacturers, entrepreneurs, exporters, bankers and governments must work harder than ever to make sure Canada produces leading edge goods for the best value and at the lowest possible price to compete on a worldwide level. It really is a group effort on a national scale. Reader says MPP’s been napping To the editor: MPP Wayne Arthurs, AKA Rip Van Winkle, is awake and wants to be re-elected after sitting in Queen’s Park for more than three-and-a-half years. He never spoke up once for this riding in terms of the increasing crime and high taxes in Pickering. However, I do recall he did wake up once and voted for a 25-per cent pay raise. I also recall when he was first elected he promised pie in the sky but, as usual and like all the rest, he never deliv- ered. Small wonder then why people don’t bother to vote any- more - surely there must be a better way! Tom Long Pickering Start doubling up I t’s one of the things I never under- stood, why so many people choose to live in one area and work in another. In my own office only three people who work in Ajax actually live in Ajax, though the majority live in Durham Region. Before moving to Durham I had never met so many people who were perfectly willing to spend hours upon hours, every single day, commuting to and from work. Back in my native New Brunswick, an hour drive constituted a road trip and, more often than not, required overnight plans to be put in place. An hour drive was not a daily jaunt to the office. So, naturally, when I moved to Durham and was looking for some new digs, to live in Oshawa or Clarington, as lovely as those communities are, was out of the question because my office is in Ajax. This comes mostly on the urging of my father, who makes a very good argument for living near where you work. Whether it is winter weather or the cost savings on car insurance, to me it just makes sense to reside near your workplace. I will take into consideration that some people want the yard and garage that are more readily available and affordable in the communities of Durham than they would be near where they work, in To- ronto, for example. (I don’t necessarily agree that everyone has the right to a little plot of land, but for now that is beside the point.) Some people choose to commute some distance to work and that is their choice, but what amazes me even more is how many of these commuters go it on their own. The 401 in the morning is jammed with one lonely occupant accompanied by nothing more than the radio. Each day about one million car trips are made to and from Durham Region. With the popu- lation projected to increase, the conges- tion is only going to get worse. We need to look into solutions now. Durham Region has taken the first step in that direction. Smart Commute Durham, endorsed by council in June to promote sustainable means of transporta- tion, is meant to reduce this Region’s de- pendency on single-occupant automobile travel. It’s part of a Greater Toronto Area-wide partnership aimed at reducing traffic con- gestion and curbing climate change. The Region is the first employer member of Smart Commute, and it’s a great example to the rest of Durham. The Region has designated carpool parking and installed bike racks at its headquarters. Initiatives focused on transit, walking, and other sustainable transportation options are planned for implementation. If you aren’t able to live near where you work I encourage you to take a look at www.smartcommutedurham.ca and fol- low the Region’s lead. Beyond fighting traffic congestion, parking and gas prices, there are some great reasons to carpool or choose alter- nate means of getting where you need to go, paramount being to curb climate change by reducing emissions.

Ajax taking part in World Record Walk AJAX — The Town is offering up the chance to take part in a world record. On Wednesday, Oct. 3, Ajax will participate in the World Record Walk (WRW), one of about 3,000 events across Canada that day. The goal is to break the current Guin- ness World Record of 100,915 people walking one kilometre simultaneously. The record was set in Western Austra- lia in September 2006. Kevin Smith, the Town’s fitness co- ordinator, says he’s hoping to have about 300 participants in the Ajax event. The main purpose of the Town’s par- ticipation is to “promote active trans- portation,” he says. That includes walking, biking or roll- erblading, not only for leisure, but also as a means of getting to and from work, Mr. Smith notes. The walk is being held during Inter- national Walk to School Week, which goes from Oct. 1 to 5. Mr. Smith says any school that takes part in the in- ternational walk can participate in the WRW. The route for the walk is from the Town hall, south along Harwood Av- enue to Bayly Street and then back up to the Town hall. After the event, complimentary refreshments will be available. The WRW is being co-ordinated by Green Communities Canada. The walk begins at 12:30 p.m. and those taking part are asked to be on site to register between noon and 12:15 p.m. For more information, including schools that wish to take part, call Mr. Smith at 905-428-7799. HPV immunization clinics launched DURHAM — For eligible female stu- dents in Grade 8, the Durham Region Health Department is offering a free Human Papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine as a part of a Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) initiative. HPV is a common virus and more than 100 types exist. It’s easily trans- mitted from person to person through skin-to-skin contact. The virus may also lead to precancerous lesions, vagi- nal cancer, genital warts, and cervical cancer. The first two vaccines are given two months apart and the third is given six months after the initial dose. If the vaccine is given before a woman becomes sexually active, it is especially effective in providing long- time protection and significantly low- ering the risk of cervical cancer and genital warts. The MOHLTC and the Health De- partment anticipates 85 per cent of eli- gible students in Durham Region will be vaccinated during the campaign. To learn more about HPV, school clinics or the vaccine, call the Durham Health Connection Line at 905-666- 6241 or 1-800-841-2729. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 8 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 23, 2007 A night of their lives Project prom: Notre Dame At far left, it’s a photo op for Neriza Powers and Stephanie Brence.

Students get an early chance to say goodbye By Natasha Foley Notre Dame AJAX — Excitement was in the air as Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School students entered the cafeteria for a gradu- ation breakfast. Held the day before prom, the event is a newly created tradition that has students attend a breakfast hosted by the school, followed by a short rehearsal for graduation and a talent show by their peers. With prom only a day away, the breakfast gives students a chance to relax, laugh and share a few fond memories together. “It gives everyone a chance to say good- bye,” says Maryse Extross. Mike Bak, Notre Dame’s principal, at- tended the breakfast. “It was a well-deserved celebration,” said Mr. Bak. This is the second graduating class of students since the school opened in 2001. The prelude to the prom has become a well anticipated event as it is one of the last chances for students to be together as a group before heading off on their many separate paths. Breakfast gives prom prelude Prom described as elegant dream Pickering’s Dunbarton Deer Creek jammed with stretched limos By Deanna Bannister Dunbarton High School PICKERING — ‘An Elegant Eve- ning Dream’ is exactly how Dun- barton High School’s senior prom can be described. On May 18, Deer Creek Banquet Facility was crowded with stretch limousines and beautiful young men and women dressed to im- press. I arrived at Deer Creek with a group of friends and entered the absolutely stunning facility. To my right, a professional photographer snapped pictures of excited groups of girls in their beautiful gowns, while on my left, couches were filled with classmates anxiously waiting to enter the hall. Finally, at 6 p.m., the hall doors opened and students filed into the room. The hall was exquisite with white tables and matching chairs all around the dance floor. Beautiful golden chandeliers hung over our heads and filled the room with a radiant glow. Camera flashes were going off all around me and in the distance, “Oh my God... I love your dress, you look amazing,” was all that could be heard. Even cliques I hadn’t seen converse in my four years at Dunbarton were compli- menting each other on their dresses and hair. At 7:30 p.m., the dinner of chicken Parmesan, garlic pota- toes and vegetables, or shanghai noodles with honey garlic sauce for vegetarians, was served. Des- sert was two squares of cake and caramel drizzle, shaped in a smiley face on our plates – by far the cutest dessert I’ve seen. When the DJ started the music around 9:30 p.m., the real fun began. For the next three hours, 500 students crowded the dance floor. Although the girls were dressed in beautiful gowns and the boys in suits, everybody managed to jump around the floor and have an amaz- ing time with their friends. It was the one night in high school where there were no cliques. Sadly, at 12:30 a.m., prom came to an end and the hall was emptied as students filled their limos and headed for after parties. Prom was definitely a memora- ble, ever-lasting experience for all. I heard no complaints the following Tuesday in the hallways of Dunbar- ton. Although prom has come and gone and high school has come to an end, the memories we have shared over the last four years will last a lifetime.

Mark Elliott, senior vice- president of Pickering ‘A’, told a Community Advisory Council on Tuesday, Units 1 and 4 on the ‘A’ side are “en- tering an interesting phase. “They’re just about to start up,” he said. “We’re in the final throes of declaring the units ready. They’ll be on-line in the next week to 10 days.” The two reactors have been off-line for most of the sum- mer so a back-up electrical system could be upgraded. The system has never been required, but station staff “made the conservative deci- sion” to upgrade it, he noted. “It is a system that’s impor- tant to us and we need it to be in service. It’s the type of action we expect our employ- ees to take,” Mr. Elliott told the Council on Tuesday. “When we find a deficiency, we fix it.” He added when situations such as this arise, Ontario Power Generation does a “root cause evaluation” to de- termine what caused it and is passing the information on to other nuclear operators. Units 5, 7 and 8 are all op- erating at full power, while Unit 6 was taken off-line last week for a planned fall main- tenance outage, Mr. Elliott stated. Units 2 and 3 are in a per- manent shutdown state. Paul Pasquet, the dep- uty site vice-president for Pickering ‘B’, updated the CAC on the algae problem the Pickering facility has faced. A net was installed in the spring to control algae com- ing into the plant, Ms. Pas- quet said. “The net was put in as a trial” to determine what the company can do to “mitigate algae getting in the facility,” he stated. “The trial is going on. It’s still in service. We’re still removing algae from the net.” The “algae season was a lit- tle bit different this year. Pre- viously, there would be short bursts of algae. This year, there was a constant stream of algae,” Mr. Pasquet noted. “The equipment operated very well. We’re one or two months away from making a final determination on going forward.” Unit 5 was taken off-line for about five days in August because of an accumulation of algae, Mr. Pasquet stated. In other news, Mr. Elliott pointed to the safety record at the station. There hasn’t been a loss- time accident on the ‘B’ side in more than three million hours,” Mr. Elliott said. “That’s a terrific achievement. Three million is a lot of hours.” On the ‘A’ side, it’s up to 1.5 million hours without a loss- time accident. “We’re very proud of those achievements and we’ll keep celebrating them,” he said. “Safety is number one at OPG.” Durham Region’s fi rst magazine dedicated to encourag- ing a green and eco-friendly life right here in our own back yard.

Liberal Party Leader: Dalton McGuinty declined our invitation to be interviewed ‘I think it is a great building and it will serve children well’ By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Greeting clients and staff with bright blue-tiled columns, purple-patched floors and a giant fish tank, the brains behind the Children Aid Society’s (CAS) new home hope it will be an inviting and pleasant place. Located on Airport Boulevard in Oshawa, the building has play- rooms complete with books and toys, supervised visitation rooms and a large meeting room. There is a life skills facility for kids in care, where they can learn to cook, do laundry and socialize. A new clinic has exam rooms for doctors and dentists who treat the kids in the CAS’s care. On the upper three floors there are of- fices for the 380 full-time-equiva- lent employees. Outside sits a shiny new play- ground, donated by Auto Work- ers Community Credit Union. The move to the new build- ing is the culmination of four- and-a-half years of planning by the board of directors and senior staff and its opening ceremony was on Sept. 18. Wanda Secord started as the executive director of Durham CAS on Aug. 1. She explained the CAS was able to consolidate three offices formerly spread out across Durham in the new build- ing. “We were all over the place,” Ms. Secord said. “They all needed to be run out of the same office; it just made better sense in terms of service.“ The building cost just less than $17 million. “That sounds like a lot of money, but when you consider the fact that we were renting in three other locations and hav- ing leases, as leases go up they can be very expensive,” Ms. Se- cord said. “Over time the cost of this building will be less than the various leases we had.” It took a while to come togeth- er, but Oshawa Mayor John Gray said his council nurtured the construction of the new build- ing for some time, first looking at a downtown location and then selling the CAS the land on Air- port Boulevard. “It is a gorgeous building,” Mayor Gray said. “The beauty of it is that it is along a major bus route.” But, more than the building, Mayor Gray said he is proud of the work the CAS does. “Sometimes parents aren’t as responsible as they should be and that is where the CAS has to step in,” Mayor Gray said. “It is a sad commentary on society, but yet we actually have an organi- zation that can help pick up the pieces.” Former executive director James Dubray, who received much credit for the new building during the opening ceremony, said he is proud of the structure. “I think it is a great building and it will serve children well,” he said. “It will continue to do that for many years.” Children’s Aid Society shows off its new home Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Chelsey Merriman plays with the Bellwood Public School Bell Choir during the official opening of the Durham Children’s Aid Society’s new facility in Oshawa.

According to a recent study by Statistics Canada, conditions such as panic attacks, social anxiety, excessive worry, specifi c phobias, post-trau- matic stress disorder and obsessive-compulsive dis- order affect 12% of Canadians each year. That’s the bad news. The good news is that all of the above are absolutely treatable –often without the need for medication. According to Health Canada and the Canadian Mental Health Association, there are only two scientifi - cally supported treatments available for people with anxiety disorders and/or depression: 1. drug therapy, and 2. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). Drug ther- apy involves the use of anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication, while CBT is a form of psychotherapy – or “talk therapy” – administered by a clinical psycholo- gist. Scientifi c studies have shown that CBT is just as ef- fective as drugs in the short term in dealing with mild to moderate anxiety or depression, and more effec- tive in the long term at preventing relapses. But, unlike with drugs, CBT carries no unwanted side-effects or long-term chemical dependence. “CBT is remarkably effective,” says Dr. David Diren- feld, a registered psychologist and clinical director of the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in Ajax, Ontario. Dr. Direnfeld earned his Ph.D. from the State University of New York at Buffalo, and has been prac- ticing CBT since the early 90s. “CBT is one of the great psychological breakthroughs of the 20th century,” he says. So what is CBT, anyway? “CBT is based on the idea that the way we feel and behave is a result of the way we think,” explains Dr. Direnfeld. “In other words, our feelings and behaviours are controlled by our thoughts, rather than by external things, like people, situations or events.” According to Dr. Direnfeld, this means we can al- ways change the way we feel and behave, even if the situations in our lives stay the same. For example, people with anxiety disorders typi- cally have distorted thoughts: a social phobic may think that he/she will always be negatively judged in social situations, while a sufferer of OCD may think that being dirty will lead to disease or death. “These distorted thoughts promote feelings of fear, worry or distress,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “They usually cause peo- ple to avoid situations that might precipitate the anxi- ety, or to develop compulsive rituals that lessen the anxiety.” Likewise, people with depression have distorted thoughts that promote feelings of hopelessness or helplessness, such as pessimistic ideas (“life is cruel”), unrealistic expectations (“everyone has to like me at all times”), or overly critical self-evaluations (“I’m worthless”). “These thought distortions can occur automatical- ly, without a person even being aware of them,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “Using CBT treatment, people can be- come aware of these automatic thoughts, and train themselves to challenge and change them.” But that’s just the cognitive component. The be- havioural component involves challenging yourself to face the situations you may have avoided due to depression, worry or fear. This is done in small, man- ageable steps called Exposure. “Through exposing yourself in small steps, you learn that you can feel anxious in a particular situation and you can still be okay,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “You learn that the anxiety isn’t going to kill you or make you go crazy.” All told, CBT helps patients learn effective self-help skills, and gain independence and assertiveness in dealing with real-life issues. According to Health Can- ada, CBT is now the preferred mode of non-medici- nal treatment for a range of psychological disorders, from anger to panic, eating disorders and personality problems. But recent research suggests that some mental health therapists may still be using treatments that are not based on empirical evidence. “It’s very important to ask questions about your psychologist’s level of training,” warns Dr. Direnfeld. “Make sure the person is registered with the Ontario College of Psychologists, and make sure they are only using scientifi cally validated treat- ments, such as CBT.” For more information about CBT, or to make an appointment at the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Ther- apy, call 905-427-2007 or email info@ccbt.ca.

Mackie Moving Systems, an Os- hawa-based company, is incorpo- rating eight new smog-free trucks into its growing fleet. The trucks, which hit the market earlier this year, meet tough new government standards that will virtually elimi- nate smog-causing emissions from trucks between now and 2010. “We feel that as good corporate citizens, this is the right thing to do,” says Norm Mackie, a director of the family-run company. “Ev- eryone is concerned about global warming and we want to do our part in reducing the impact on our environment.” The new 2007 model trucks are equipped with a device known as a particulate trap, which filters out microscopic particulate matter known to be harmful to human health. “Basically, the air coming out of the smoke stack, or whatever you want to call it, is as clean as the air going in, sometimes even better,” Mr. Mackie said. The engines also use ultra low sulphur diesel fuel and have been designed to meet new government standards that mandate all new engines from 2007 onward must reduce smog causing emissions. But being environmentally- friendly doesn’t always come cheap. The trucks cost about $8,000 more than last year’s model without the environmental pack- age and are a big investment for any company. “It has significant environmen- tal benefits, but it also carries a cost,” says Doug Switzer, the man- ager of government relations for the Ontario Trucking Association. “Mackie’s is one of the first com- panies in Ontario to get them.” Mr. Switzer was on hand in Os- hawa on Wednesday to present the company, which employs 400 people in the region, with a plaque of environmental stewardship and highlight the company’s dedica- tion to the greening of the indus- try. He hopes that other trucking companies will follow in Mackie’s footsteps and trade in the older trucks for those of the new genera- tion. The trucks are part of the envi- roTruck movement -- a strategy by the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA), of which the Ontario Truck- ing Association is a part, to address both smog and greenhouse gas emissions. “The industry is taking this seri- ously,” Mr. Switzer said. “We want to be good corporate citizens, but also, because the environmental impact comes from burning fossil fuels, if we can eliminate that it is better for us, too.” Although fuel costs have now stabilized, the industry has been through a rough few years during which rising energy prices made it nearly impossible to maintain a healthy bottom line. So by reduc- ing their reliance on fossil fuels, the sector can also increase profits, Mr. Switzer said. But new trucks are just part of the CTA’s strategy for a greener trucking industry. Mr. Switzer says he has been advocating for greater government assistance to help implement speed limits for trucks -- which would maximize fuel ef- ficiency -- and add a component to the truck that gives it greater efficiency through aerodynamics. Both issues, he says, need govern- ment approval. As for the new trucks, Mr. Swit- zer would like to see a government incentive to help companies pay for the added cost in order to en- courage more companies to take the leap. Just last week, the CTA submit- ted a pre-budget request to the federal government -- for the 2008 budget -- asking for a program of financial incentives for the new smog-free trucks and add-on fuel efficiency devices and equipment. David Bradley, the CEO of the CTA, says he is happy with the response so far. “We have already pitched the idea to the Minister of Finance and to the other key departments in Ottawa and there appears to be genuine interest,” he said in a release. “But, there is a lot of work to do between now and the next budget for this to become a real- ity.” With an industry that transports 90 per cent of Canada’s goods and has thousands of trucks on the Business News Advertiser Sunday, Sept. 23, 2007 newsdurhamregion.com Do you have a new business opening in Durham Region?

As the line continues to blur between invasive and non- invasive cosmetic procedures, non-invasive is the fi rst choice over plastic surgery as it is less expensive, involves less risk, and is virtually painless. “These are exciting times — cosmetic dermatology is advancing at lightning speed” says Dr. Sonia Mosaad, a leader in the fi ght against aging. “With third generation dermal fi llers, we are able to do so much more. As we age, we are subject to the three D’s; defl ation, descent and deterioration. The transformation to positive change is really quite subtle and done over a period of time — it is accumulative. You can turn back the clock 10 to 20 years with Botox Cosmetic, dermal fi llers, lasers, dermal peels, and cosmeceuti- cals without going under the knife.” The truth about lasers Don’t be mislead by spas that call IPL or intense pulsed light, lasers. This is especially important for permanent hair removal or hair reduction. IPLs deliver many wavelengths to the skin but a true laser delivers only one wavelength and can pre- dict clinical end points with better accuracy and better results. Generally, IPLs are less expensive to produce than true lasers and they are generally a lot less powerful and precise. “Lasers are monochro- matic and coherent; IPLs are polychromatic and noncoherent” says Dr. Mosaad, a member of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery. NV Ajax is pleased to introduce their powerful, FDA approved, GentleYAG 1064nm for hair removal, skin tightening, vein removal, acne, and rosacea for all skin types. Skin tightening or wrinkle reduction for the face, neck, breasts, hands, and stomach with the Gen- tleYAG yields equal to or better results than Ther- mage or radio frequency and IR or infrared light, but the GentleYAG is much safer, less expensive, quicker treatment time, and less painful. The risks with radio frequency can be blistering or burning of the dermis and post treatment dimpling and melting of the fat or fat atrophy plus other complications. Radio frequency often requires additional pain man- agement techniques increasing downtime. The face and neck can be done in 20 minutes with the Gen- tleYAG and only requires a topical freezing. Skin tightening strengthens the existing collagen struc- ture and stimulates new collagen production. The results for the face are the forehead, eyes, nasolabial folds, jaw line, jowls and the area under the chin. It tightens facial skin, smooth wrinkles, and improves facial contours. Critical causes of aging and true cosmeceutical correction The sun itself contributes to approximately 90 percent of skin aging. How does this happen? UV rays from the sun strongly stimulate enzymes called Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the skin. The more we have of MMPs, the faster the breakdown of the skin matrix. As we age and with environmental factors such as UV exposure, stress, smoke, alcohol, inactivity, and incorrect diet, there is an increase of MMPs that breakdown key matrix proteins such as collagen and elastin. The intricate balance of MMPs and natural inhibitors of MMPs gets disrupted; too little of the matrix is synthesized and too much is degraded. As with any supply- demand imbalance, it can be improved by either increasing supply (boosting synthesis of the matrix) or reducing demand (inhibiting the breakdown). The Integral Renewal Serum from Lorivia provides nine highly concentrated active ingredients including a powerful natural inhibitor of MMPs that target the re-establishing of the enzymatic equilibrium in the skin. This marine-derived ingredient will reduce and slow the breakdown of the skin matrix and the other active ingredients will stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin building a stronger skin matrix.

DSA started in a partnership with the Sylvan Learning Centre in Pickering. It soon outgrew the shared facility and in 2002 became an independent private school. Beginning with only fi ve students, 144 students have now earned their Ontario Sec- ondary School Graduation diploma from DSA. Durham Secondary Academy is a co-educational private day school, offering university and college preparatory programs. In addition to providing an academic environment where good students can ex- cel, Durham Secondary Academy offers an oppor- tunity for students who may have been struggling in a traditional school setting, to thrive and reach their true potential. Durham Secondary Academy is a small school that caters to a wide range of students. Whether you’re looking for an opportunity to improve your marks, a more individualized approach, or a safe caring environment, Durham Secondary Academy offers it all, and students benefi t from the small classes. Durham Secondary Academy faculty members are second to none, and are selected for their teach- ing abilities, their academic training and life experi- ence, their capacity for concern and understanding, as well as their commitment to the philosophy of the school. Core subjects are taught by subject special- ists and the overall student-to-teacher ratio is main- tained at approximately 10 to one. Principal George Vanderkuur is a former sci- ence teacher, director at the Ontario Science Centre, Curriculum Consultant for the Toronto Board of Education and headmaster of Holy Trinity School. He has written a number of student texts and has conducted teacher training workshops across Cana- da and internationally. Durham Secondary Academy offers a unique safe environment with small classes where students’ indi- vidual learning styles can be accommodated. Teach- ers are able to work closely with students, whose progress and organization skills are monitored on a daily basis. A typical day at DSA starts with a community assembly where the whole school meets to be in- formed, discuss issues and celebrate special events. Most students take their two courses between 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The classes are two hours and 10 minutes long, and include a 10-minute break. At 10:15 there are 20 minute breaks for lunch/snack time. The DSA uniform is crested with the “lamp of learning”, the symbol of knowledge and wisdom gained from experience and education. Instruction at Durham Secondary Academy ben- efi ts from the small class size where all students can receive individualized instruction in a setting that is a cross between a tutorial and a formal classroom. As well, the unique 10-week semester program allows students to concentrate on two subjects per semes- ter and accumulate eight credits during the normal school year. Some students are able to take on ad- ditional courses allowing them to catch up or fast track. There are four entry points when students may enroll. These are in September, November, February and April. A summer school program runs during the month of July. “High academic standards in a safe caring en- vironment of a small private school improve the student’s chances for success and admission to post- secondary programs.” Recognizing that parents are the prime educators, Durham Secondary Academy is committed to working with parents to develop and promote a common philosophy. With our par- ents, we share the critically important enterprise of preparing our children for active and positive living. The new campus, which is located at 1 Cedar Street in Ajax, has larger classrooms, space for in- door and outdoor activities, as well as better access to public transportation. Although the development of the whole student is valued, DSA is fi rst and foremost an academic school. Their primary focus is to provide students with the best possible chance for academic success. The majority of graduates (about 80 per cent) have gone on to university, with most being accepted at their fi rst choice of university. Twenty per cent of DSA graduates applied for and were accepted into college programs. A number of DSA graduates have won academic or athletic scholarships to universities in both Canada and the United States. Durham Secondary Academy strives to provide an environment that encourages students to make the right choices not only for the future, but also with regard to important present-day decisions. They work hard to help each student achieve his or her scholastic goals in a program designed to help them achieve success and admission to the univer- sity or college program of their choice. If you feel that your child could benefi t from the DSA program and philosophy, you are invited to visit the school. Openings for new students are available in November. Everyone is invited to celebrate with us at the Grand Opening and Open House at 1 Cedar Street on Saturday October 27. Festivities begin at 10:00 am with a ribbon cutting at 11:00 am followed by refreshments and a chance to visit the facility and meet teachers and students.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 23, 2007 PAGE 17 A/Pdurhamregion.com durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 18 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 23, 2007 A once familiar landmark, known in the past as Rosebank Station, has once again been fi lled with life. While the bygone roar of locomotives and the comings and goings of passengers is now a distant memory, the historical signifi cance of this area is not lost. A Scottish settler erected the original build- ing, which sits on a picturesque site in the south- west corner of Pickering, in the 1800s. It would later become a tourist destination known as Rosebank Station. History relates the days when trains stopped either to deliver or gather patrons of the hotel. With times changing, Rosebank Station was later renovated into an apartment dwelling and was eventually purchased in the 1950s and li- censed by the municipality as a 40-bed nursing home. In 1980, Rosebank Station became Rose- bank Villa Retirement Residence, which was purchased by new owners in the fall of 1994. Today, the three-storey building has been lov- ingly restored to give maximum comfort to the senior citizens who will call Abbeylawn Manor home, while still paying close attention to giv- ing it that historical feel that harks back to yes- teryear. The Ontario Trades Group has done a fantastic job in bringing this building back to life, notes the facility’s executive director, Kim Jimmo-Shields. “We want to bring out the history of Ab- beylawn Manor, and the grace and beauty of the property,” which borders Lake Ontario and over- looks the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area. On many mornings, wildlife routinely comes into sight at the rear of the building. While the building has many cozy, old-fash- ioned touches, it also provides all the modern amenities. All the fl oors in the building have been newly carpeted, walls freshly painted, and the spacious suites feature wall-to-wall broad- loom, ensuite bathrooms. “We will leave it up to each resident to furnish their own suites with their own personal treasures to maintain their fa- miliar sense of home,” says Jimmo-Shields. Upon approaching the front entranceway, el- egantly spanned by an awning embossed with the new Abbeylawn Manor Retirement Home logo, you will enjoy an inter-locking stone pa- tio graced on all sides by beautiful gardens. This is complimented by the adjoining large wooden deck and gazebo. The gazebo protects you from the elements of the weather, while still allowing you to enjoy the balmy summer breezes from the lake and the beautiful nature that surrounds your home. Specially-designed black wrought-iron fenc- ing encases the patio and extends to meet with the wheelchair access from the newly-built 20x40 foot deck and gazebo. From the deck area, many a moment can be shared by all while overlooking the front of the property, which will be the focal area for Abbeylawn Manor Retirement Home and family barbeques. Executive director, Kim Jimmo-Shields also points with pride to the main-fl oor dining room, which has undergone an elegant transforma- tion. The newly decorated room is completely furnished with hand-crafted Mennonite furniture. First and foremost, Abbeylawn Manor Retirement Home is a facility committed to providing a dignifi ed and independent lifestyle for its residents. The caring, dedicated staff provides the fi nest health- care as a part of its commitment to your continued well-being. They offer nursing supervision, medication administration, therapeutic diets, bathing assistance as well as the services of a physiotherapist. You’ll have the comfort of knowing that our staff is on duty day and night, always ready to provide friendly, attentive care. Abbeylawn Manor Retirement Home provides an opportunity to meet new friends through ac- tivities such as cards, arts and crafts, bingo, out- ings and musical entertainment. Activities are organized with small groups to ensure personal attention. Internet access in our comfortable computer lounge is available. An in-house cha- pel for all denominations and recreation rooms are also available. Abbeylawn Manor Retirement Home also features independent assisted living, 24-hour supervised care, spa services (including physio- therapy), chapel, organized activity program, all meals and snacks, full dining room service, suites with ensuite bathroom, private or shared accom- modation, closet space in each suite, housekeep- ing, linen and laundry, parking and cable televi- sion. In addition to the warmth and hominess of the surroundings, it’s the staff at Abbeylawn Manor Retirement Home that will offer a spe- cial touch to the residents’ lives. Dr. Ravi and Dr. Salma Sondhi are the proud registered proprietors of Abbeylawn Manor Re- tirement Home, which is pleased to offer com- prehensive respite and convalescent care pro- grams as well as assisted-living services. The staff at Abbeylawn Manor promotes Drs. Ravi and Salma Sondhi’s new philosophy of “Work- ing Toward Better Care.” Abbeylawn Manor Retirement Home is lo- cated at 534 Rodd Ave., Pickering.

This year marks his 30th year in the fi nancial planning industry and the same number of years serving residents of the Durham Region and beyond. He brings to his clients a wealth of knowledge, experience and integrity. Having both lived and worked in Durham Region since he fi rst began his career in the fi nancial planning fi eld in 1977, he has helped thousands of families achieve their fi nan- cial goals. Richard’s team continues to grow with his cli- ents’ needs and they have recently settled into the historical McKay House located on Kingston Road in Ajax. The stone house is over 150 years old and is conveniently located between the Ca- nadian Tire store and Cineplex Odeon Theatres on the Northeast corner of Hwy. 2 and Salem Road. The house was built in 1854 by Donald and Margaret McKay and, to this day, still main- tains the historical look and character that it did 153 years ago. Richard chose this home because he felt it symbolized strength, character and lon- gevity — attributes that he has strived to uphold in his business ethics. Along with Richard, the Ajax team at the McKay House consists of many other qualifi ed individuals. His sales assistant, Deborah Woola- cott, has been working alongside Richard for over six years. Deborah is extremely knowledgeable on current investment trends and works with Rich- ard and their clients to help them achieve their goals. Irene Walsh has also been a part of Rich- ard’s team for a number of years and provides in- formation and quotes on their clients insurance needs.* Both Deborah and Irene hold their Cer- tifi ed Financial Planner designation (CFP). Jan Li is their in-house mortgage specialist and pro- vides competitive quotes to their clients.** The administrative team at Dundee Private Investors in Ajax consists of Leanne Woolhead, Debbie Fish, Cathy Dalton and Shelley McLaughlin. Both Leanne and Debbie have been a part of Richard’s team for almost 20 years. Richard has maintained an extensive involve- ment in the community that stems back to his childhood. Having grown up with a father who was a police offi cer and one who often opened his home to those in need, Richard knows only too well the long-term damages that are caused by emotional and physical abuse. Since that time, Richard has always felt the drive to do whatever he can to help local shelters for abused women and their children. He began his crusade years ago, sending the mothers and their children from the Denise House on a day trip to Niagara Falls. He then also worked extensively with the Bethesda House in Bowmanville. Now that there is a shelter that has opened up in Ajax, he directs his energies on helping them. Forty moms, kids and support workers recently enjoyed a full day of activities at Canada’s Wonderland thanks to Richard and his team. Also a proud blood donator, the Canadian Blood Services recently acknowledged Richard’s 100th Blood donation with an award ceremony. Richard continues to donate both blood and platelets on a regular basis and will have reached his 150th donation within the next year and a half. His strong belief in giving back to help the community drive him to help those less fortu- nate.

Garrett Winder, 25, who played college hockey at Norwich Uni- versity in Vermont, has signed on with the East Coast Hockey League’s (ECHL) Wheeling Nailers, an ‘AA’ affiliate of the Na- tional Hock- ey League’s Pittsburgh Penguins and the Philadel- phia Flyers. “Garrett is someone that will fit nicely into our offence this season,” said Nailers’ head coach Glenn Patrick in a press release. “He has been able to generate offence wherever he goes and Wheeling should be no different for him.” Winder spent last season over- seas playing with Heereveen Flyers in the Netherlands and showed his scoring touch trans- lates directly accumulating 23 points (13 goals, 10 assists) in 26 games. Winder, a forward, helped the Norwich University Cadets men’s hockey team win an NCAA Division III championships in 2003. He was also named as an all-American during his time at Norwich. The Nailers open the ECHL’s 20th Anniversary season with a game against the Johnstown Chiefs on Thursday, Oct. 18. Wheeling will open its home schedule on Friday, Oct. 26 against the South Carolina Sting- rays.

The Saints and Monarchs kicked off the Lake Ontario Sec- ondary School senior football season with this ‘Powers Division’ contest at the Oshawa school on Thursday afternoon. The Saints marched to a 12-0 victory. By John G. Smith Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — There is no small irony in the fact that Cameron Mor- rison finds thrills behind the wheel, tearing around regional racetracks at speeds exceeding 100 km-h. He isn’t old enough to drive a car. The 10-year-old Pickering resident has found early success in the world of karting – reaching the podium in 29 out of 34 races since he was first introduced to the motorsport as part of Goodwood Kartway’s Canadian Rookie Karting Championship Ar- rive and Drive Series. “I always loved motorized things,” he says, rattling off the names of favourite racers such as Paul Tracy. “Speed is one of my favourite words.” The young driver’s interest in rac- ing was sparked during a visit to a local mall, where he was intro- duced to Pickering race car driver Chris Guerrieri, a former Star Mazda driver. In between autographs, the veteran racer revealed that he de- veloped his own skills on the local karting circuit. Cameron was hooked on the idea, and his father Mike says there should be little surprise. “If his heart’s not pounding, he’s not interested,” the senior Morrison says, noting how his son gravitates to activities such as skateboarding, or stunts on a BMX bike. Visits to the track began on rented equipment before receiving a F1K Cadet with a 60cc two-cycle engine for his 10th birthday, and later a four-cycle F4K Honda GX 160. The sport helps to enhance matu- rity, his father observes. “When he first started, he didn’t deal well when he lost or things didn’t go his way,” he says. “He now understands that, in racing (and other activities), things don’t always go your way.” Granted, a number of races have gone his way. Last year, Cameron reached the podium in every Rookie Series race, and was one of 25 drivers named to the Goodwood Kartsport Scholar- ship Team. While a broken chain forced him out of his first race in this season’s four-cycle competition, he earned first-place finishes in the next nine races. “You have to be consis- tent every race,” he adds. Cameron has already locked up the related Toronto Kart Club Nov- ice Championship, and will advance into the Junior Light category for the remainder of the season. The successes come despite the fact that his two karts require two dif- ferent driving styles. The two-stroke kart is highly responsive, reaching speeds of 107 km-h on a Batavia, N.Y. track that offers the added benefit of a sloping surface. The four-cycle engine raced in the Novice Class requires more finesse. The father-son team of MNM Rac- ing invested about $20,000 to partici- pate in the inaugural season, includ- ing the purchase of the karts and a related trailer. Another $10,000 in expenses can be expected every year to follow, although sponsors such as Castrol and Dynamic Pools are help- ing to ease the load. “This sport hits you in the wal- let. No question,” Cameron’s father admits. “But when you see a natural skill, you have to let it develop.” Pickering youth burns up the track Photo courtesy of Warren Liebmann/ Actionpix Pickering kart racer Cameron Morrison, 10, has torn up the track in only his second season, winning the Toronto Kart Club novice championship. durhamregion.comP PAGE 24 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 23, 2007 Adelaide House will still help women: YWCA By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The YWCA is ask- ing the Region not to recall a $105,000 loan as the money will be used to help women and chil- dren. “We hope the funding will not be recalled since the intention, conditions and repayment terms that led council to vote in fa- vour of the advance are still valid today,” Susanne Groen said. Ms. Groen, who, since the res- ignation of executive director Eva Martin Blythe, has taken on management duties at the YWCA w ith Wendy Leader, addressed Regional Council on Sept. 19. She replied to a request to have $105,000 in one-time funding, meant to assist with the re-open- ing of Adelaide House, returned to the Region since the an- nouncement that the emergency hostel in Oshawa would not re- open. “We are now focused on the future,” she said. “We are poised for change, growth and sustain- ability.” She said the conditions of the one-time payment were met and future plans for Adelaide House will continue to service children and women. “There is a public perception that Adelaide House is closed,” she said. “Our press release opened with ‘new vision for Ade- laide House’, which made the pa- pers as ‘Adelaide House closes’.” Ms. Groen told council that although the YWCA is no longer able to provide emergency hos- tel services for homeless women, the board and management are moving forward with plans to convert Adelaide House into second stage housing to accom- modate women and victims of violence. It would service women who are ready to move on from emer- gency shelter, but not yet able to manage independently. According to Ms. Groen, the YWCA has had interest in sec- ond stage housing expressed by the Ministry of Community and Social Services and the United Way. “We believe a vote of confi- dence from the Region would be influential to other funders as well,” Ms. Groen said. April Cullen, Oshawa Regional councillor and chairwoman of the health and social services committee, told Ms. Groen the Region needs to follow tight reg- ulations as to how the money is spent as it came from the Nation- al Childcare Benefit program. Ms. Groen said the YWCA is open to meeting with the Region about the restrictions on the flow of the money. “We are just here to simply say if at all possible we ask the Region to continue on with the loan,” she said. The money has not been spent and won’t be until the matter is resolved, Ms. Groen said. Council passed a motion in- structing the social services com- missioner, Dr. Hugh Drouin, to meet with the YWCA staff to get to the bottom of the situation. Dr. Drouin was instructed to bring a report back to the finance and administration and health and social services committees in 30 days.

The peewees posted their third consecutive Central On- tario Minor Football League (COMFL) victory after a 22- 8 win over the Scarborough Thunder in Toronto last weekend. The Dolphins’ game plan was to firmly control the of- fensive and defensive line and they made that clear early, with a 55-yard drive on the first series, culminating with a touchdown from run- ning back Keldyn Ahlstedt. The conversion by Roynelle Meredith was good and the ’phins led 8-0. The Dolphins continued to moving the ball at will in the second quarter, and another huge gain of 30 yards by Ahl- stedt put the ’phins back in scoring position at the Thun- der eight-yard line. He then carried the ball in on the next play for his second major of the game. The conversion by Meredith was good and a solid 16-0 lead was in hand. The following kick-off by Taylor Eskins was dropped into the short side allowing Dustin Kaupp to show his speed to recover the ball, giv- ing the ’phins great field posi- tion at the Thunder 40-yard line. It took only one play for running back Spenser Stew- art to elude the Thunder de- fense and break outside for a 40-yard touchdown run and a 22-0 lead. The defence continued its control over Scarborough with the defensive line duo of Nathan Cheung and Jesse Chafe breaking through for a crushing quarterback sack and loss for the Thunder. The Dolphins showed great clock management late in the half as quarterback Mike Stobbart hooked up on alternating passes to wide- outs Harrison William and Meredith to move quickly back into scoring range. The drive fell just short as a pass to Meredith in the end zone just slipped off his fingers to end the half. The Dol- phins controlled the clock in the fourth with a sustained drive from their own 10-yard line, keeping the ball on the ground and gaining position. A fumble in the backfield, however, resulted in Scar- borough getting the ball back with just under three minutes to play. The ’phins’ defence was quick to make a state- ment as linebacker Jordan Ali broke through for another QB sack and loss of 10 yards on the Thunder’s first down. The Thunder then had a big 35-yard gain but with a flag on the play it looked like the ball would be com- ing back. However, the ref- eree waved off the call to give Scarborough the ball inside the Dolphin 10-yard line. A completed pass just inside the end zone, with no time left on the clock, put Scarbor- ough on the scoreboard. With the point after the final score was 22-8. The Dolphins host the York Region Raiders today (Sun- day, Sept. 23) at Pickering’s Kinsmen Park field starting at 1:30 p.m. Meanwhile, the Dolphins’ atoms improved its COMFL record to 4-1 after crushing the York Region Raiders 36-6 in action at Kinsmen Park last Sunday. The perfect season of a year ago won’t be repeated as the Burlington Stampeders scored a 16-6 win over Ajax- Pickering atoms recently, handing them their first loss in two years. The Dolphins’ offensive and defensive linemen have continued to play well all sea- son, with the O-line stepping up to the challenge in the last two games, allowing the of- fence to drive the ball down- field and score. Meanwhile, the D-line has allowed only one unconverted touchdown per game in the last three games. The Dolphins’ linemen are Justin Ross, Turner Mountjoy, Kyle Forde, Tyler Le Clair, Sha- quir Lewis, Malik Nembhard, Hayden McNamee, Hasson Abbas, Raekwon Grant, Mar- shall Odei, Mortada Saleh, Yasean Steitie, Colin Johnson, Idanesi Peters and Nathaniel Vaikla. Meanwhile, the Dolphins’ tykes (5-0) remain undefeat- ed after a 36-0 victory over the York Region Raiders in Pickering last Sunday. The atoms and tykes face the Clarington Ti Cats in Claring- ton today, Sunday, Sept. 23.

It’s a Mobile Showroom which just may be the only one in Canada. “The day is gone when you carried some brochures and a sample window to a customer’s home,” explains Wayne. “So I obtained a retired North York Mobile Library truck and installed interior walls along with all of my window samples.” When you call Durham Windows and Doors for a free estimate, Wayne will show up at your door with his Mobile Showroom which you’ll enter by way of a sliding patio door. Inside, displayed on the walls, are the Vinyl Window Designs series of vinyl windows which you’re free to operate and you’ll discover the many special features including how they can be cleaned without going outside. “After being in this business for 30 years, I can honestly say these are the fi n- est windows on the market,” says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware.” All Vinyl Window Designs windows come with Low E Glass which fi lters out the ultraviolet rays keeping your home cooler in the summer and eliminate fading of your curtains, drapes and furniture. All of the windows come with a life- time warranty on the frame, hardware and glass. Wayne would also like his customers to know that he does all of the estimates personally, eliminating the cost of a sales- person.
