Municipality comes second in waste diversion challenge Friendly competition started between Pickering and Ajax By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The results are in and Whitby wins the waste diversion title. With Waste Diversion Week just around the corner, Ajax Ward 2 local Councillor Joe Dickson was at Dur- ham Regional Council to announce the winners of the Durham Commu- nities Challenge for Waste Reduction Week for 2006. Whitby won the challenge by di- verting 68.1 per cent of its garbage. Diversion rates are based on the total tonnes of waste collected verses tonnes diverted. “(Prior) to the green bin that was absolutely unheard of,” Coun. Dick- son said. In second place was Pickering with a 60.8 per cent diversion rate. The City of Oshawa took third place, narrowly beating out Ajax with 58.9 per cent. All eight Durham municipalities took part in the challenge. The community challenge began between the Town of Ajax and the City of Pickering 20 years ago. “A friendly challenge went out to see who could reduce their waste the most in a one-week time frame,” Coun. Dickson said. “It was really an offshoot of the Ajax Environmental Affairs Week.” Although waste management and diversion wasn’t as fashionable at that time, Coun. Dickson said he realized there was a problem and it was only going to get worse. “More and more the public aware- ness is growing and all the munici- palities throughout the region now promote waste reduction,” he said. According to Coun. Dickson, in- vitations have gone out to all of the municipalities to participate again. Waste reduction week is Oct. 15 to the 19. “All of the municipalities are very good about it and the Region is very supportive of the effort,” Coun. Dick- son said. “I am appreciative of all the volun- teers, the regional chairman (Roger Anderson) and the eight mayors for all their efforts.” Coun. Dickson said all the commu- nities receive a prize for participat- ing. He handed over $100 cheques to each of the communities at Regional Council on Sept. 19 with a friendly suggestion that the money be used to purchase environmental publications for their local libraries. “Everyone is a winner and that is what it is all about because everyone is doing a good job,” Coun. Dickson said. The $1,000 for prizes was donated by Miller Waste. Pickering knows how to reduce waste Sidewalks and garbage among complaints By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Seaton, traffic and the future of Pickering’s downtown were some topics residents fired at the mayor on Monday night. A smaller crowd than the other two meetings generated - around 30 - at- tended the Ward 3 Town Hall meeting, but still had questions for Mayor Dave Ryan. Louise Sabino complimented the City for its speedy response to a con- cern she had reported, but also asked about gaps in sidewalks along Kings- ton Road. “You see people using GO Transit, using the system, on the main thor- oughfare, and having to walk on grav- el,” she said. Mayor Ryan said sidewalk develop- ment typically occurs alongside devel- opment in that same area. “It’s an ongoing problem for us, one that we’re trying to address, bit by bit,” he said. He added there are tempo- rary sidewalks in areas along Kings- ton Road, between Altona and Whites Roads, for example, to help. But the good news, he said, is em- phasis on Pickering’s downtown and the new project going in on the south side at roughly Dixie and Kingston Roads, which will include stores, res- taurants, and mixed-use (commercial- residential) units. “With that development we will get those sidewalk pieces completed,” he said. He added Kingston Road is a re- gional road, and work has to be done in conjunction with that of the Re- gion. Francee Olch, who lives close to an elementary and a high school, com- plained of the amount of garbage her hedge accumulates from the students who walk by. She said she first called the City and asked for a garbage can at the bus stop and “they were won- derful. We had a garbage can within a week.” But, the problem has continued nonetheless, and she asked if there was any way council could encour- age the school to teach the students respect. Mayor Ryan said “we as a municipal- ity work very closely with the schools.” He said all council members extend the invitation to go in and speak with students, but they don’t want to im- pose themselves. “At the end of the day, it’s the par- ents that need to do their job,” he said. Cash flows to public board More teachers, vice principals on the way By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The public school board is pumping millions more into primary teachers and other areas thanks to an increase in provincial grants. The Ministry of Education’s decision to adjust base grants for student needs has infused an extra $5.4 million into the Durham District School Board’s already approved 2007/2008 budget. Trustees approved spending revisions during a Sept. 24 education finance committee meeting. “This is definitely an unusual revi- sion,” said Ed Hodgins, superintendent of business. He called the injection a “substantial infusion.” Ajax Trustee Marilyn Crawford, the board’s chairwoman, said she doesn’t think she’s ever seen money like this come in during her time with the board. “Love an election year,” said Trustee Crawford. The revisions add another $695,000 to the public board to hire another 9.3 full-time-equivalent elementary teachers for class size reductions. Mr. Hodgins said the primary class size funding is enveloped and the increase must go to that specific area. Where boards have already met their primary cap of 20 students to one teacher per class, the money is to support imple- menting smaller classes in Grade 4 to 8. Special education received $945,800. “That again matches the funding that’s received,” said Mr. Hodgins. The special education advisory committee is discussing some ways to use the money. The outdoor education budget in- creased by $165,000, which will go to Nonquon Environmental Educa- tion Centre to hire another facilitator, Concerns and compliments in Pickering ✦ See Not, Page A2 ✦ See Board, Page A2 Concerns included: The lack of garbage cans, not enough bike paths, too much traffic and parking along Pickering Parkway and the proposed airport. Compliments included: The ability to speak with the mayor in an open environment, and the beauty of Millennium Square and the garden at Esplanade Park. Police respond to five fires set within one hour PICKERING — Arson charges have been laid against two Pickering teens accused of deliberately setting a num- ber of fires. The arrests came Monday night after Durham cops responded to several suspicious fire calls. Officers had no sooner arrived at the scene of a garbage bin blaze in the area of Sheppard Avenue and Rosebank Road around 10 p.m. Monday then an- other call -- this time a deliberately-set vehicle blaze -- was reported just north of that location, police said. Within an hour three more instanc- es of arson -- in Amberlea Park, at St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School and in Woodsmere Park -- occurred, police said. Police apprehended two young men and have since charged them in con- nection with two other deliberately-set fires at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School -- one on Sunday and the other in August. Facing seven counts of arson are Tyler Grigg, 19, of Highbush Trail in Pickering and a 17-year-old Pickering youth whose identity is protected by the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Police continue to investigate a number of other suspicious fires in Pickering and Ajax. among other things. “Basically, it allows us to double the number of students going through that centre,” said Mr. Hodgins. “That’s a lot of bang for that buck. Literacy coaches are getting an extra $772,800, while $80,000 is going to- ward another full-time social worker, and $300,000 to managing information for student achievement training. Schools will be splitting $223,720, more than the board received. Mr. Hodgins said the board only received $121,000, but topped it up to the new amount because it had some savings in photocopying. Other changes include $306,200 for elementary secretarial services; $670,000 for six full-time-equivalent secondary school principals; $631,000 to facilities services - custodial equip- ment and other costs; $150,000 for ministry reporting requirements; and $250,000 for the maternity leave sup- plement. Of the latter, Mr. Hodgins said the board continues to exceed spending even though it has increased the amount in the last two years.

Mark Nathanielsz spoke on behalf of residents on Twyn Rivers Drive with concerns regarding traffic and speed. “We’re pretty convinced someone’s going to get killed there soon and we wanted to make sure, in our own con- science, that council is aware of it,” he said. Mayor Ryan said Durham Regional Police Service has initiated a traffic control division within the past eight months, and agreed more has to be done. He said they’ll identify hot spots and continue progress. Sandy Rider raised concerns about the recent Seaton land exchange be- tween developers and the Province. She said when it was first proposed, it was a dream to live, work and play in Pickering. “What I want to know is what the City will do with bylaws or regulations to promote that dream, or is it going to be...same-old, same-old?” she said. Mayor Ryan said he hopes it won’t be same-old. He spoke of the Central Development Pickering Plan, which was given to the City by the province. He said the areas that will be devel- oped and the type “were predeter- mined by them and we have no say. “Our job as a municipality now is to ensure that within that plan that we get the best possible development,” he said. He added Seaton has to be a “jobs-first” development, and the City pushed for the promise of 35,000 jobs. ✦ Board from page A1 ✦ Not from page A1 Not ‘same-old, same-old’ with Seaton’: resident Two Pickering teenagers face arson charges in rash of fires GM idles car plants as parts run out By Izabela Jaroszynski ijaroszynski@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Activity at the General Motors Oshawa car assembly plants came to a halt just after 3 p.m. on Tuesday, putting 5,600 employees out of work. The closure of plant no. 1 -- which came just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday morning -- was followed by a halt in production at plant no. 2 just as the day shift wrapped up. The work stoppage is a result of a nationwide strike by the United Auto Workers union in the United States, which instructed its 73,000 GM work- ers to walk off the job on Monday when negotiations failed to produce a new contract. Talks between the union and the company continue. GM Canada spokeswoman Patty Faith said it is hard to judge the long- term effects of the strike since it is unknown how long it will last. “We are monitoring the situation closely,” she said. The Oshawa car plants, which build the Chevrolet Impala, the Monte Carlo, the Buick Allure and the Pontiac Grand Prix, rely on engines that come from plants in the U.S. Since the industry runs on just-in- time shipments -- meaning the parts are supplied to the assembly plant just as the vehicles need them -- the company does not keep a stockpile of parts. The GM truck plant, which builds the GMC Sierra and the Chevrolet Sil- verado, is still in full production, but is expected to be idled as early as Wednesday when U.S. metal part sup- plies run out. The effect of the shutdown rippled throughout the community. Many local manufacturing plants that feed parts to General Motors halted pro- duction as a result of the closures. “The ripple effect is going to be large,” said Gordon Sirs, president of the Durham Region Manufacturers As- sociation. “Manufacturing in the region is somewhat diverse, but it is primar- ily focused on automotive and this is going to have a big effect.” Manufacturing companies will be struggling with inventory issues and logistics as the pre-ordered raw mate- rials they use for production of parts continues to come in, he said. In addition, transportation compa- nies that are used to move these parts to the GM plants will also experience a loss of work, he said. “That’s another part of the ripple ef- fect,” he said. “The local economy will definitely feel it.” For Chris Buckley, president of the Canadian Auto Workers local 222, the concern is for the workers. GM employees are guaranteed 80 per cent of their wages for the remain- der of the week -- due to a Short Work Week Benefit in their collective agree- ment -- and will receive paid holidays if the work stoppage continues for an additional two weeks. Should the strike continue beyond the three-week mark, employees will be put on layoff. “But many of our members in auto parts are not afforded the same luxu- ry,” Mr. Buckley said, adding that those employees will be put on layoff status immediately and need to collect Em- ployment Insurance, which does not kick in for two weeks. Mr. Buckley says that if GM shuts down its truck plant as well, a total of 15,000 workers will be without jobs throughout the community. Johnson Controls Inc (JCI) in Whitby has already cancelled a large portion of its production as of the Tuesday afternoon shift. The Lear Seating plant, which sup- plies all of the seats for vehicles at GM, will also cease production, Mr. Buckley said. Other local suppliers are still grap- pling with the situation. Lisa Boulton, spokeswoman for AGS Automotive, says the company has not experienced any work stoppage in Canada and is currently assessing what the impact of the strike will be should it continue for any length of time. “We are really still in assessment mode,” she said. Mr. Buckley -- whose union will be negotiating a new collective agree- ment with GM in 2008 -- would not speculate as to how long the U.S. strike will last, but said the union and the company “must be miles apart” if a nationwide strike was called. The main issue for the UAW is job security, he said. “This is a terrible fight,” he added. “We are all concerned about security for the future.” Introducing Baby Back Ribs On now till November 4 705 Kingston Road lonestartexasgrill.com OSHAWA AND PICKERING CALL LINA 1.800.408.9619 LEARN ENGLISH AT NIGHT A PASSION FOR COMFORT PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING Sizes 4-15 Widths AA-EEE Genuin Soft Leather, Absolute Comfort We've Got Your Size ¤ HERONGATE DINNER THEATRE 2885 Altona Rd., Pickering www.herongate.com GREAT FOOD!

PAGE A3 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ September 26, 2007 A/P Police trail vehicle to huge dope crop DURHAM — Police tailed a suspi- cious vehicle to what is believed to be the largest seizure of marijuana ever in Durham Region. Cops executing a search warrant this past weekend on the property northeast of Sunderland seized a machine gun and marijuana-grow- ing equipment from a residence, then spent hours harvesting thousands of plants from a nearby field. Officers patrolling in Brock Town- ship Saturday followed a suspicious vehicle to a field on Sideline 17 near Concession 8 and discovered a mas- sive growing operation, said Sergeant Paul McCurbin. Three men were found harvesting thousands of ma- ture plants, he said. In all, cops re- covered 4,675 plants valued at $4.67 million, he said. “That’s the biggest (seizure) we’ve had in the region,” Sgt. McCurbin said. Facing drug and weapons charges are Is Dhari, 20, and 18-year-old Endri Bejeri of Toronto, as well as Eduart Dhari, 32, of Vaughan.

PEAMEAL BACK BACON RIB PORTION FRESH TURKEYS PAGE A4 X NEWS ADVERTISER X September 26, 2007A/P Final recommendations by the end of fall By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX — Residents raise concerns about traffic on an almost daily basis, so the Town is working on guidelines to use when requests are made. Ajax has a ‘Traffic Calming Report’ that lists recommendations for such items as speed humps, curb extensions and raised intersections. However the report doesn’t include a process on how to evaluate requests. An interim report was presented to council’s community affairs and plan- ning committee on Monday, with a final report to be presented later this fall. “In recent years, the number of re- quests have increased,” noted Brian Hollingworth, a consultant with the IBI Group. A seven-step process will be used, he said, stating the first step would be a request for action. The second step would have mini- mum requirements before a request would be evaluated. The requirements include the number of vehicles travel- ling on a street, the speeds motorists travel and a history of previous colli- sions. The next step would be to evaluate the request, based on 11 criteria, again including such measures as speeds and volume, along with such items as the proximity of parks, whether there is or isn’t a sidewalk, and land uses near the street. Possible traffic calming measures would be next, followed by selecting a recommended course of action and then council approval. The final steps would be to design and implement the measures, along with fitting a project into the long-range budget process. “What’s good for Toronto might not necessarily be good for Ajax,” Mr. Hol- lingworth noted. Part of the work included looking at how 30 municipalities dealt with traffic calming, he said. “There is no standard,” he stated. “Every jurisdiction puts its own spin on it.” There’s “a growing and strong desire to protect neighbourhoods,” he added. “Not a week goes by that one of us isn’t requested for some traffic calming,” said Ward 4 local Councillor Pat Brown. Most of the requests deal with concerns about speeding, she added. Coun. Brown said the roundabouts put in on Pickering Beach Road are working. “Traffic is slowing down” and there isn’t the backup of traffic on Dreyer Drive, she added. “They are expensive. If people would slow down, we wouldn’t have to do it. Until they slow down, it’s what we have to do,” she pointed out. “Traffic calming is one of those budget expenses we could avoid if everyone drove through their neighbourhood with a little more courtesy,” Wards 1 and 2 Re- gional Councillor Scott Crawford noted. Ward 2 local Councillor Joe Dickson said of the roundabouts, “There appears to be some improvements, but there also appears to be some confusion.” Price reductionsPrice reductions ONTARIOONTARIO HYUNDAIHYUNDAI JUST ANNOUNCED OF WHITBY HAS +Prices are as is, plus safety, plus E-Test, plus taxes, pluc lic., fee & admin. *O.A.C.

Mr. Burch’s January 2008 retirement was announced during the Durham District School Board’s Sept. 17 meet- ing. He has been the director of educa- tion since January 2003. “Craig Burch’s leadership helped to bring greater stability to the Dur- ham District School Board during a challenging time in education,” said Ajax Trustee Marilyn Crawford, board chairwoman. She added he’s been a strong advocate for the board and stu- dents and staff have benefited from his dedication. “Craig’s guidance will be missed by students, staff and trustees.” During his time as director, Mr. Burch has overseen the opening of 11 new schools and four additions. Prior to becoming director, Mr. Burch was a superintendent from 1994 to 2003, an administrative officer, prin- cipal of Pickering High School, vice- principal at Anderson CI, a past presi- dent of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation in Durham, and a teacher at G.L. Roberts CVI, R.S. McLaughlin CVI and General Vanier SS. “I have enjoyed my entire career in Durham, from teacher to director and everything in between,” said Mr. Burch. “I will miss working with the great staff and trustees of the board and I wish them well.” The board will release details of the search process in the coming weeks. 24 HOUR SERVICE A’OBUTEC INC.

There is something about early fall weather that is absolutely magical. Cool nights, sometimes perfumed with wood smoke, make for ideal sleeping. Warm, clear days, absent of humidity or bothersome insects. Even the lakes are still inviting for those with sound tickers. And then, of course, you have that breath- taking blaze of colour to go out on. With the fall comes pie and fairs and ... pie. Have you ever noticed how much nicer a hot cup of coffee tastes and feels when you can wrap your chilly fingers around it and see your breath? Is there anything more soul-warming than single malt sipped from a cold tin cup be- side a fall campfire? Men are as susceptible to cuddling as they will ever be on cold fall evenings. It’s a win-win season. There is also a blessed silence that accompanies the fall. A si- lence so beautifully profound one can sit or, if absolutely nec- essary, cuddle, single malt, pie or coffee in hand, and hear only the skeletal patter of leaves hit- ting the ground. That’s a spe- cial sound. It’s the sound of kids not home. As dearly as my wife and I adore our children, the fall and the kids necessary return to school arrive in perfect synchro- nization with our diminishing delight in the ubiquitous, fridge- emptying presence of them and their summer pals. There is per- fection too in the length of the school day as I have not yet, after 16 years, failed to delight in the sound of my boys bursting into the house at 3:15 with their at- tendant tidal wave of ripe, play- ful energy. The fall is also the most sarto- rially forgiving season. At least for those of us approaching mid- dle-age. The spring and sum- mer, with their lavish displays of toned, tanned skin have become, sadly, more of a spectator sport than something I am eagerly in- terested in taking part in any longer. While dressing cool and comfortable once meant cut-off shorts and a tank top, it is now the domain of garments more akin to a Muumuu or Caftan. My wardrobe looks more like Bea Arthur’s with every passing year. In the fall though, those of us experiencing the gentle settling of our bodies are only too happy to embrace wonderfully form- camouflaging items like sweat- ers, vests and car coats. We do not look as though we may be carrying a few extra pounds, we look like we are layering. We look like everyone else. It’s quite marvelous. Another unlooked for gift from the fall. A while back I was making some noise about wanting to move out to the west coast. An ex-Ontarian friend of mine, who had married a Vancouverite and moved out there, caught wind of this and lost no time in writing to inform me of my misguided thinking. He had lived out there for over a decade and he told me there wasn’t a single September that he didn’t still find himself pining for the magical fall of this province. He told me how dear to him were my casual correspon- dences of canoe trips, of rak- ing leaves and of walks through the fall of his old friend Ontario. They kept him going through the mossy damp that passes for October in Richmond. It must be hard to carve a soggy Pumpkin. I do love it here.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Keeping kids in one school system promotes understanding To the editor: To those who support sepa- rate school funding et. al, I can’t think of a more divisive way to separate cultural devel- opment. Keep children apart start- ing at junior kindergarten and this should ensure that they will grow up with no under- standing and appreciation for people of a different culture. Beyond regular school hours there is plenty of time to prac- tice one’s religion. Are pro- ponents of separation afraid to expose their kids to other points of view? Give multicul- turalism a chance! David Vose Ajax Every vote counts in MMP system To the editor: I’ve noticed some readers are labouring under miscon- ceptions of the proposal put forth by the Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform. A com- plete explanation of the MMP system can be found on its website, http://www.citizen- sassembly.gov.on.ca. In particular, the election of MPPs via party list has been criticized as creating members who are chosen solely by party insiders and are unaccount- able to voters. This is both true and false. Under both electoral systems, all candidates run- ning for office are chosen by the party they represent (they have never been selected by voters). Under both systems, all members of parliament are accountable to voters through elections. In these two fun- damental respects, the two systems are identical. Under MMP, however, the candi- date-selection process is made transparent and every single ballot cast for a party list is counted. Our current system presents candidates without explana- tion and most of the votes cast for them are discarded. Per- haps it is to our current system that the criticism should be directed. Chris Barnes Ajax Funding faith-based schools would be costly, divisive To the editor: There is talk in the news about opening faith-based schools which would be funded by al- ready overburdened taxpayers. In my opinion this matter should be stopped at the outset. Those schools would be another divisive force amongst the Ca- nadian populace and costly du- plication of almost everything that is already in place in both the public and Catholic schools, the latter guaranteed under the Canadian Constitution, which is not the case for other religions. I would venture to say that the proponents favouring this change are of minority religious groups. I believe their churches should provide the religious ed- ucation the parents are seeking for their children after/before school hours, as well as the funding for that religious educa- tion. The present school system is working just fine and let’s not get into another system that di- vides the country. The govern- ment and church should remain separate. We already see an ero- sion of our Canadian culture and yet we continually see more and more demands made by people that are, in my view, not fully committed to our Canadian way of life and culture and who want to continue with their old way of life, often to the detriment of our Canadian heritage. Why did they leave their country of ori- gin in the first place? Our politi- cal representatives need to stand up now for Canadian values and quell this issue once and for all.

EDITORIAL IN THE COMMUNITY /4& CLICK AND SAY Know what MMP is before you vote Knowing options vital for informed choice T his is a provincial election with a major twist: for the first time ever, electors will be asked if they want to make a profound change to the way we choose our members of provincial parlia- ment. When you go to the polls Oct. 10, you’ll be asked to vote not once, but twice. Your first ballot will be the traditional one with the names of all the candidates running in your riding. You’ll make your mark and then... vote again. The second ballot will offer you a simple choice: you can either decide to stay with the status quo and choose to retain the system by which we have elected MPPs in Ontario for more than 100 years. Your other option is to choose to support mixed member propor- tional representation or as its come to be known in our acronym-ad- dicted world, MMP. Just what is MMP? You should know before you go to the polls so you can make an informed choice. Under MMP, there would be 129 seats in the legislature as opposed to the current 107 ridings. However, the way the seats would break down is quite different. In MMP, the province in the next election in 2011 would be reduced to 90 ridings from the current 107. Electors would choose those 90 MPPs in the same way we currently elect our members, the first-past- the-post system. That means the candidate who wins the most votes in your riding is the winner. Voters would then vote a second time for the provincial party of their choice -- which could be the same party as represented by the candidate they selected in the first past the post vote or a different party. It’s this second ballot which makes MMP much different from our current system. All those second or party ballots would be tallied and 39 seats in the legislature would be awarded on a party basis and strictly by the proportion of those ballots earned by the party. Each party would submit a list of 39 candidates and, from that list, would receive a proportion of the 39 seats. The minimum needed to get one seat would be 3 per cent of the vote. There are many pros and cons of both systems and it will be up to voters to educate themselves on which system is best for Ontario.

The evening includes a delicious dinner for guests to enjoy as well as experiencing the latest fashion trends of Audrey Jane’s, Churchills-Crossings, Dezire, JMichaels, Lei- sure Lady, and Mackie Harley Davidson Buell. Although the Can- cer Centre is now com- pleted and treating pa- tients, special fundraising events like the Colour Me Beautiful Fashion Show & Dinner are more im- portant than ever before,” said Jim Szeman, Chief Executive Offi cer for The Oshawa Hospital Foun- dation. “Our fundrais- ing objective has shifted from the building and equipping the Cancer Centre to now working to continue to raise funds to sustain this facility, the research, education and advanced programs and services that is now avail- able to cancer patients and their families across Durham Region and be- yond.” Thanks to the dedication and support of Marie Hibbert and our many Foundation Friends, “Bringing Cancer Care Closer to Home” is no lon- ger a dream, but a reality. Tickets for this event are $65 each and can be purchased by con- tacting Louise Clark at 905-576-8711, ext. 3824.

Services are available to everyone fi ve years of age and up. The Anger Management Counselling Practice — helping you cope with your anger “Anger is a healthy and valid emotion, but many of us are taught not to express or show our anger. This often leaves us feeling frustrated and unable to express how we feel inside. As a result, some of us store and suppress our anger, while others may express it, but in negative and unhealthy ways.” The Anger Management Counselling Practice can assist you in learning how to express and communicate your anger in positive and effective ways, as well as to help you to learn more about the origins of your anger and how it has affected you in the past and in your current situation. Counselling is geared toward moving from unhealthy responses of anger to learning new and powerful approaches and techniques to dealing with the emotion of anger.

Information booklet available DURHAM — Durham Sustain Ability wants to help Pickering, Uxbridge, Ajax and Whitby well owners take proper care of their wells and protect their drinking water. Well owners in Ontario are responsible for the operation and safety of their own wells and septic systems, and for what goes back into the water cycle. Well Aware: a guide to caring for your well and protecting your family’s health, is a comprehensive information booklet that DSA is providing for free as part of the Well Aware program. The booklet gives well owners work- ing knowledge of wells and the well life cycles, along with a better understanding of water quality issues and how to ad- dress them. Well placement, construc- tion, maintenance, water protection, tips on hiring contractors, and obtaining well records are included in the booklet. It also provides tips on what products shouldn’t be stored or used near the well. Water quality and maintenance diaries help owners keep track of their steward- ship activities for future reference.

British ex-pats hope to heat up pension fight Sept. 30 information meeting in Ajax DURHAM — ‘Frozen’ pensions are leaving British expatriate seniors cold. The Canadian Alliance of British Pen- sioners (CABP) is hosting an informa- tion meeting as it attempts to fight the U.K. government. “The issue affects expatriates who have worked in the United Kingdom and have paid into the state pension,” says CABP member Peter Nelson, who worked in Britain for 10 years. “Now that they’re living in Canada, they find their pensions are not indexed for inflation. That is, they’re frozen.” There are about 151,000 British pen- sioners living in Canada. Mr. Nelson notes many of those who don’t receive indexed pensions live in Common- wealth countries. If the pensioners had gone to the United States, Germany, Liechtenstein or Jamaica, their pensions would have been indexed. The amount of money lost is substan- tial. The CABP cites a woman who re- tired in 1974 at the age 60 and emigrated to Canada to be closer to her children. Twenty-five years later, she lost an estimated $89,200 through pension pay- ments being frozen. The woman would have received $22.34 a week, amounting to a total over 25 years of $31,220, while the total would have been about $120,000 if the amount were not capped. The British government points to ‘re- ciprocal treaty arrangements’ agreed to by some countries and not others for the reason some pensions are frozen. The CABP joined a court challenge to the British government’s position, but the House of Lords ruled in favour of the government. The court ruled the pensioners’ plight was “understandable, but not justified.” It added the purpose of the pension is to “provide a basic standard of living for the inhabitants of the U.K.” The CABP and other supporters are now mounting a court challenge with the European Court of Human Rights. The CABP information meeting is on Sunday, Sept. 30, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion branch, 111 Hunt St., Ajax. For more information, call the CABP at 1-888-591-3964.

Sherhei ‘Sugar Ray’ Serieaux of the Tiller’s Boxing Club, competing in the 57- kilo weight class, won a three-round deci- sion over Jake Leeman from the Training Room Boxing Club of Toronto while com- peting at the Atlas Boxing Club event on Saturday night.

[ Track and field ] Perdita fourth in final outdoor race PICKERING — Pickering’s Perdita Felicien finished the outdoor track and field season running in the 100-metre hurdles event at the IAAF World Athletics Final in Stuttgart, Germany on Saturday. While it wasn’t the result, nor the time she would have wanted -- fourth in a relatively slow 12.83 seconds -- Felicien had a season that signalled she’s back to form just in time to make a serious run at a medal at next year’s 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Saturday’s race was won by reining world champion Ameri- can Michelle Perry in 12.68 seconds. The race was atypical to say the least, with a series of false starts and three disquali- fications charged to Susanna Kallur of Sweden, Lolo Jones of the U.S. and Sally McLellan of Australia, which narrowed the field to five. In addition to her silver-medal win at the world championships in Osaka, Japan, Felicien also captured silver at the Pan Am Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Felicien, as a medal contender for Canada in Beijing, was reportedly one of four athletes taken to the Olympic site in China for a week following the IAAF World Athletics Final where they will view the training facilities, the main stadium and the Olympic village.

Weary Panthers put up winless weekend By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Three games in three days, with too few players on the bench, proved too heavy a burden for the Pickering Panthers last weekend. And, after dropping three in a row in OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hock- ey League play, the Panthers (2-5) sunk all the way to the bottom of the nine- team South Conference standings. A dog-tired Panthers squad pulled into Hogtown to play the Toronto Junior Canadians on Sunday night, suiting up for its fourth game in five days. The re- sult was as predictable as it was ugly: an 8-4 drubbing at the hands of the Junior Habs, whose only two wins this season have come courtesy of the Panthers. The lone bright spots in Sunday’s loss was the work of Jamie MacQueen, who netted a hat trick, and Brad Fleishman, who contributed three assists. The Torontonians also hooked up with the short-staffed Panthers at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Fri- day night, leaving the Millennium City with its first win of the season, a tight 4-3 victory over the Panthers. Friday’s Toronto-Pickering matchup represented the first time the two clubs had met after last season’s record-set- ting playoff series, which the Panthers captured in seven games. The series included the longest game in junior hockey history, won by the Junior Cana- dians. Sandwiched in between the two loss- es to Toronto was a date Saturday after- noon with the East Conference’s Kings- ton Voyageurs at the league’s annual Governor’s Showcase slate of games in Mississauga. Pickering penalties in the third period opened the door for three consecutive Kingston power-play mark- ers and a disappointing 4-2 loss. An undisciplined third period spoiled two solid periods of work by his charges, says Joslin. “We played two great periods and then we ran into penalty trouble,” ex- plains Joslin. “We had some discipline issues that really hurt us.” Although heartened by the effort in two of the three weekend losses, Pan- thers’ head coach Mark Joslin notes that simply having too few bodies available on the bench hurt the team’s chances. Moreover, Pickering lost high-energy forward Daniel Mandel with a broken wrist in Sunday’s loss to Toronto. He’ll be sidelined for approximately two months. To use a bad pun, the injury was a bad break for the Panthers, who’ll miss the assistant captain’s leadership, not to mention his defence and penalty-killing skills. When you fac- tor in the loss of captain Cody Smith and fellow forward Chad Beal, who are still on the Ontario Hockey League London Knights’ radar, and Kain Allicock, who’s been signed by the Saginaw Spirit, the team is desperate for replacements. The Panthers were also without for- ward Tyler Hauer and defenceman Ryan Goldberg (Jewish holiday) for the first two games of the weekend and also lost forward Andrew Howes (fighting mis- conduct) and defenceman Luka Penzo (hitting from behind game misconduct) at various points during the weekend. Joslin says he and general manager Frank Robinson are currently combing the league in search of another forward and defenceman either through trades or by purchasing players outright. “We have to find two or three players quickly,” says Joslin, in his first season behind the Panthers’ bench. The Panthers will attempt to break the three-game losing streak at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday night against the Durham Fury at 7:30 p.m. SCORING SUMMARY Panthers at Jr. Canadians, Sun., Sept. 23 Period 1 Toronto - Spencer Brennan (Taylor Mur- phy, Jason Wilson) 7:25 Toronto - Jason Wilson (Giordano Taran- tino, David Titanic) 10:21 Toronto - Kyle Ventura (Brent Tamane) 12:43 Pickering - Jamie MacQueen (Brad Fleish- man) 17:55 Period 2 Toronto - Brent Tamane (Jared Docking, Alexander Galli) 0:18 Toronto - Alex Paiement (shorthanded) (Tamane, Reed Smith) 8:45 Pickering - MacQueen (Fleishman) 9:10 Pickering - Greg Payne (Brendan Hann, Ryan Goldberg) 14:50 Period 3 Toronto - Daniel Erlich (Kyle Wetering, Tarantino) 1:56 Pickering - MacQueen (Brad Fleishman, Brendan Hann) 4:36 Toronto - Ventura (Paiement, Docking) 14:51 Toronto - Smith (unassisted) 16:12. Jamie MacQueen Hajnal goes the distance in boxing Longtime Durham Region coach dead at 74 DURHAM — After spending a life- time on both sides of the boxing ring, a Durham Region legend in the sport died last week. Joseph (Joe) Hajnal, 74, passed away on Thursday, Sept. 20 at his Oshawa home after battling inoperable pancre- atic cancer for some time. Born on March 11, 1933, Hajnal’s dis- tinguished boxing career spanned six decades as a fighter in his native Hun- gary, as a founding member of the Ca- nadian Amateur Boxing Association and Boxing Ontario and as a long-time coach in Toronto, Kitchener, Oshawa and later in Ajax. Although in poor health, Hajnal vowed to continue to coach as long as possible, serving as an assistant coach to head coach Chris Tiller at Tiller’s Boxing Club in Ajax for the past year and a half. There, he helped the club’s heavyweight fighter Brock Arthur turn pro and was in the process of finding Arthur his first pro bout. This sum- mer, Hajnal was named to the Ca- nadian Amateur Boxing Associa- tion Hall of Fame and was also named a Boxing Ontario ‘Legend’ in the ‘Builder’ category at its awards ceremo- ny. “It was recognition I did not expect, but it feels good,” said Hajnal, in an interview earlier this summer. “I was overwhelmed. I didn’t expect anything. I wasn’t doing it for the glory. It was a big surprise, but I’m proud of it.” Hajnal began boxing at age 11, finding his way on to the Hungarian Olympic team in 1952 at the Summer Games in Helsinki. There, he won two bouts before losing in his light-welterweight class. He was Hungarian national champion in that division in 1954, representing his country in many international events before emigrating to Canada in 1957. In Canada, he won the Canadian Ath- letic Union championship for his weight class in 1959 and was undefeated in eight pro fights until his retirement from the ring in 1965. His coaching career included stints with the former Oshawa Olympic Boxing Club, where he coached for six years in the ’70s, and with the Ajax Boxing Club, where he coached under long-time head coach Don Ross. All the while, Hajnal worked as an engineer in the mining and manufacturing sectors, retiring in 2000. Over the years, Hajnal worked with many of the very best Canadian boxers. During a stint at the Kitchener Boxing Club in the late ’80s, he helped guide the pro boxing career of Fitz ‘The Whip’ Van- derpool, who won a world welterweight title in 1996 and a Canadian champion- ship in 1998. “He started with me as an amateur and I was the only coach with him as a pro,” said Hajnal of Vanderpool. “He’s also a good friend of mine; he’s a won- derful guy.” Hajnal also trained Canadian Olympic light-heavyweight boxer Chris Johnson while coaching in Kitchener. Johnson has now turned to coaching himself and is currently directing the pro career of Steve ‘The Canadian Kid’ Molitor, the IBF World Junior Featherweight champ. Hajnal was heavily involved over the years in the organizational side of boxing as one of the founding members of Box- ing Ontario in 1973. He also served as Joseph Hajnal Panthers’ Postscript The Ajax Attack and Pickering Panthers will duel it out -- at a car wash -- with all proceeds from the fundraising event going to cancer re- search.

During his time with Boxing Ontario, he drafted many articles and coaching manuals meant to improve the calibre of coaching of boxing in the prov- ince and in Canada. Hajnal was also one of the founding members of the Canadian Amateur Box- ing Association, which came into being in 1969. During his time with CABA, he was selected to serve as the national coach at many international competitions, in- cluding ones in Cuba, the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, Finland, Russia, Greece, Germany and Hungary. In an interview with the Ajax-Pickering News Advertiser on his induction into the CABA Hall of Fame earlier this sum- mer, Hajnal said he had no regrets and a lifetime of good memories of his time in boxing. “I have no complaints. I have a won- derful family and a lot of good friends through boxing. I know they all respect my knowledge and contribution to box- ing.” He’s survived by his wife Elisabeth (Zsoka) and sons Joe Jr. and his fam- ily and Tom and his family, grandchil- dren Amy, Shane, Jessike, Kyle and twin brothers, Mitchell and Garrett and many relatives in Toronto and Hungary.

The British Artique Roadshow was in town Sept. 17 and 18 and about 300 people made their way through the show. Internationally renowned ap- praisers David Freeman and Maureen Wickham were on site to evaluate and appraise personal treasures ranging from 35 cents to more than $20,000. Joan, 73, of Pickering brought in one of several paintings she inherited from her grandmother, thinking it was a print. Little did she know that each painting is worth roughly $5,000, and she and her sister are in possession of four such paintings. She intends on passing them down to her grandchil- dren. “I just wanted to have them checked for insurance; I hadn’t even thought about it (being worth so much),” she admits. Joan thoroughly enjoyed her visit with Freeman, gushing that “he’s so friendly, so helpful; he answered all my questions really good.” Freeman’s career spans 36 years, countless television appearances, documentaries and book sales. Along the way, he has appraised well over $225 million in artwork. He said he is pleased to be able to visit various shop- ping malls because of the “community based feel” they have. He gets to meet with people and see things that he may not be able to otherwise see which, in turn, helps provide him with material for his other ventures, such as an up- coming documentary series and book. Penny, 55, of Ajax has made a hobby of turning other people’s trash into her personal treasure. She regularly “buys things at garage sales, thrift stores and flea markets,” because she likes the way they look, and then turns a profit when she learns their monetary value. She brought an old wicker basket she had purchased at a thrift store thinking it may be of value given how well it was constructed and preserved. She dis- covered her $4 purchase was a precious Chinese wedding basket dating back to 1850. According to appraiser Wickham, an expert in antiques and collect- ables, it’s likely worth anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000. Wick- ham has more than 30 years of experience in antiques and collectables. Although the breadth of her expertise is quite vast she is an expert in ceramics, porcelain, pottery and glassware, antique and vintage fur- niture, and an array of collectables. The Ajax resident also learned that costume jewelry she had inherited from her mother and grandmother dating back from 1930 to 1950 was also worth a fair sum. Her luck didn’t extend to everything she brought: artwork she had inher- ited from her mother, painted by a relative back in the early 1900’s, would nor- mally have been worth $4,000 a piece but, due to fading caused by the sun, is now only worth $200. According to Freeman, “people bring with them what comes from genera- tions before them.” He shares that the value of a piece relies upon its histori- cal significance. “It’s amazing the types of things you see at a shopping centre,” he says. “I’ve seen a young man’s Civil War diary, a ship’s log from its maiden voyage in 1731, and even a military colonel’s ac- count book from the east coast; things that may be valuable to the heart, but otherwise not of significant value.” Bev, 61, of Pickering inherited some items from her mother who recently passed away. They included a general pardon granted by King Charles I or II, dating back to 1671, a weathered document from 1595, and an artifact from the Duke of Beaufort dated June 5, 1815, appointing her great-great- grandfather as his personal chaplain. “I’m more interested in learning how to preserve and restore it and maybe find out if it’s valuable, so I have an idea of how to insure it,” she says. Still, after so many years, Freeman “can’t help but be amazed at the sorts of things you see (at these Roadshows). Recently, while on tour in Vancouver, he met a gentleman who brought art- work he had purchased at a garage sale, only to learn it was worth approxi- mately $1.5 million. One of his more recent investigations was into the authenticity of various pieces of artwork obtained from the Middle East, all of which were fakes with ties to the former Iraqi regime. The ‘Treasure Finder General,’ as he’s sometimes referred to by the media, says he has been “studying the subject of art history for so long that the subject eventually becomes alive.” Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photos The British Artique Roadshow was a big draw at the Pickering Town Centre last week. In above photo, appraiser David Freeman speaks with Bev and Graham of Pickering. Below, Freeman points out a detail in a painting Pickering’s Joan Gouling brought in for an appraisal. ‘It’s amazing some of the things you see at shopping centres. I’ve seen a young man’s Civil War diary, a ship’s log from its maiden voyage in 1731, and even a military colonel’s account book from the east coast.’ APPRAISER DAVID FREEMAN 3:10 To Yuma may help revive the oater By John Foote Special to the News Advertiser 3:10 To Yuma Directed by James Mangold In theatres **** As tight and taut a film I have seen all year, 3:10 to Yuma may help re- vive the American western, person- ally my favourite genre. It should have no problem finding an audience, with the star power of Russell Crowe and Christian Bale, both delivering superb performances, each one of the finest actors at work today. The film is a remake of a minor American western of the same name made in 1957, though in fairness to director Mangold, he takes a departure from the execution of that film and makes his a character study. The director and writers have taken the good elements out of the ’57 film and combined them with the original story and the standard elements of the classic western to create a film that is much a revisionist western as it is an homage to the genre. When Ben Wade (Crowe), a vicious killer and thief, is captured, quite by accident, a group of men are offered $200 each to transport him to the train that will take him to justice. The catch is that he insists his gang is on the way to free him, which means likely death for the men holding him. Dan Evans (Bale), an honest rancher crippled in the war, is eking out a mod- est living with his wife and son, barely surviving and sees the chance to make some money to help them along. Lead- ing the expedition is a veteran bounty hunter Grayson (Peter Fonda), a God- fearing mercenary. The more time Dan spends with Wade, the more he finds himself liking the charismatic leader, though he knows Wade is dangerous and unpredictable. Say what you will about Russell Crowe as a person, there are very few better actors in the business. He is out- standing creating a man who is a killer, but who harbours secrets that not even his gang is aware of, secrets that drive his behaviour. As he reveals them to Dan, the rancher comes to understand the motivations behind the man’s ac- tions. Bale shows why he is among the elite actors of his generation with a carefully modulated performance. Stealing every scene he is in is Ben Foster, who is all seething rage as ruth- less Charlie Prince, the man Wade turns to for the nastier parts of his operation. Foster is riveting, commanding the screen with a stunning performance of extraordinary power. 3:10 to Yuma is a knockout, a wel- come return to the old west and one of the best films of the year. John Foote, director of the Toronto Film School, is a nationally known film historian/critic and a Port Perry resi- dent. Get more reviews at www.footeon- film.com.
