Longer advance voting period credited with increase By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The advance poll num- bers are in, and they’re up across On- tario and in Durham Region. According to the preliminary figures from Elections Ontario, 451,949 elec- tors voted at the advance polls this year, up from the 356,396 in 2003. Experts say the spike is likely due to new legislation, which saw the number of advance polling days increase, as well as the hours of operation. “There was a longer period for ad- vance polls this year, which might have made the difference,” said Nelson Wiseman, a political science professor at the University of Toronto. “But, in my experience, advance polls are not a good indicator of overall voter turnout.” Prof. Wiseman predicts overall turn- out will increase one or two per cent for this election, but stresses this might be due to factors like a more accurate electoral list, as opposed to a growing interest in politics. After voter turnout in Ontario hit its lowest point since 1929 in the last provincial election, Elections Ontario implemented a strategy to boost the numbers, investing more than $3 mil- lion in advance polls. This included extending the number of advance polling days from six to 13 and opening Sundays for the first time, introducing longer hours for advance polling stations and increasing the number of advance polling locations to 647, about 50 more than in 2003. Advance voting began on Sept. 22 in the province’s 107 returning offices and Sept. 25 at additional locations in each electoral district, and wrapped up on Oct. 4. Some riding boundaries have been redrawn for this election, which makes it difficult to compare advance poll turnouts in individual districts, to those in 2003. In the brand new Pickering-Scarbor- ough East riding, 3,640 people voted in the advanced polls. In the former riding of Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge, the number of voters who came out early was 3,966 in 2003. Numbers were not available for the Ajax-Pickering riding. However, for those that have re- mained similar -- like Oshawa and Durham ridings -- the numbers are up. In Oshawa, 3,526 people voted in advance compared with 2,596 in 2003, while 4,054 early voters cast a ballot in Durham riding compared with 3,607 in 2003. Elections Canada has not yet com- piled how many advance voters an- swered the referendum question -- of- ficials said those statistics will be final- ized on election day. According to Elections Canada, the figures for this year’s advance polls are based on numbers reported by return- ing officers and are considered pre- liminary until all the votes are counted and validated on election day.

Teenager Wayne Lefebvre-Nangreaves discovered in lake PICKERING — Pine Ridge Second- ary School has its tragic events pro- tocol in place following the weekend drowning of 15-year-old Wayne Lefeb- vre-Nangreaves. Wayne, who moved from Pickering a little more than a week ago, was found in Sturgeon Lake near Bobcay- geon Saturday afternoon, following a boating mishap the night before. His body was recovered by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Underwater Search and Recovery Unit. He was among six youths riding in a 14-foot aluminium boat when it started to sink, according to an OPP Kawartha Lakes Detachment press release. The boys, ages 15-18, entered the water about 100 metres from shore and five of them made it safely back. They’re charged in connection with a cottage break and enter near the scene. “It’s very unfortunate, very tragic,” said Stephen Blake, Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School principal, on Tuesday morning. Wayne recently moved to Coboconk with his grandmother and had just started Grade 10 at Fenelon Falls Sec- ondary School in an effort to make changes to his life, according to his mother, Bernadette Lefebvre. He had admitted to skipping school too much while in Pickering, and thought he could improve with the relocation. “We were all so happy that he asked to make the move himself,” said Ms. Lefebvre, who worried about Wayne’s involvement with gangs. “He was start- ing to make better choices.” Mr. Blake said Wayne’s mother called the school Tuesday morning. Mr. Blake said it’s very tragic when something like this happens and part of their job at the school is to help students and staff as much as pos- sible through difficult times. His un- derstanding was that five students had received counselling by Tuesday after- noon. “Our understanding is they’ve had a few days to work through this,” said Mr. Blake, and added some people may have taken Tuesday off as well. “There was a lot of buzz about it, but a lot of students already knew about it. Pickering school deals with drowning tragedy ✦ See Funeral, Page A2 Building to be revamped by summer of 2010 By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM — About 75 workers got to work Tuesday to begin construction at the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. The hospital and Aecon Buildings (the redevelopment’s builders and financiers) have reached financial close, Infrastructure Ontario and the Rouge Valley Health System (RVHS) announced last week. It means all con- tractual steps have been completed for the Ajax and Pickering Hospital Phase I Redevelopment Project, which gave Aecon the go-ahead to begin work. “We’re very excited; the hospital is excited, and it’s great news to the com- munity,” said the project communica- tions advisor for Infrastructure On- tario, Terence Foran. Infrastructure Ontario is helping the RVHS with the redevelopment, but the hospital will remain publicly owned, controlled and accountable. The Crown corporation manages some of Ontario’s larger and more complex infrastructure and renewal projects to ensure everything is built on time and on budget. The redevelopment means 65,000 square feet of renovations and 75,000 square feet of new construction at the hospital. When complete, the hospital will have an expanded emergency room, a diagnostic imaging department, an ambulatory care unit, a complex con- tinuing care unit and mental health services. The total cost for the hospital’s rede- velopment will be roughly $94 million (this includes the contract with Aecon and other ancillary costs), and the deal requires Aecon to build and finance the project for nearly $64 million. Aecon will only be paid when construction is complete and the hospital is ready for occupancy. “In Rouge Valley’s case, substantial performance means construction is complete and all electrical and me- chanical systems are operational,” Mr. Foran said. He added the fact that Aecon has taken out a loan to finance the re- development, and has committed to the hospital and its lenders to have the project completed in the summer of 2010, should mean the work will be done on schedule. If construction is not complete, additional charges would accumulate, and Aecon, not the hospital, would be responsible for pay- ing those fees. “This financial risk that they as- sume along with the lender oversight provides motivation to get the project completed on time and on budget,” Mr. Foran said.

That the man was the captain of a German battleship in the Second World War still brought out an appreciative crowd of about 120 people, from those who served in the war, includ- ing Jan de Vries, to four-year- old Maddi Cowan. Hans Langsdorff was the captain of the Graf Spee, the German ship involved in the Battle of the River Plate in De- cember of 1939. Among those attending the ceremony was Mr. Langsdorff’s daughter, Inge Nedden, and her husband Dr. Ruediger Nedden. Langsdorff Drive runs west off Pickering Beach Road, south of Bayly Street. Mayor Steve Parish noted questions were raised over “why this ceremony honour- ing a veteran, not of the Allied forces but the leader of the Graf Spee? Langsdorff was a remark- able leader.” The Town took its name from the HMS Ajax, one of three Al- lied vessels involved in the fight against the Graf Spee. Most of the streets in the Town are named for veterans of the Ajax. Mayor Parish noted, “This dedication is endorsed by the people who fought him, suf- fered injuries at his hands.” Ken Jones, the president of the River Plate Veterans Asso- ciation, sent the mayor a letter noting, “We heartly support the naming of this drive. He was not a Nazi, but a true naval of- ficer. His crew was treated well and was released in Montevi- deo.” Mr. Jones added that after Mr. Langsdorff scuttled his ship, he saluted his opponents with a “naval salute and not the Nazi salute.” Prior to the battle, Mr. Langs- dorff’s job was to intercept merchant ships in the Atlantic and “he did that efficiently,” the mayor stated. When Mr. Langsdorff came upon a merchant ship, he had the crew removed before sink- ing it. “Not one merchant sailor was killed” by Mr. Langsdorff, Mayor Parish added. During the battle, the Graf Spee was “significantly in- jured.” Mr. Langsdorff had the choice of going out to fight, be defeat- ed and have hundreds of his men killed. Rather, he “scuttled the ship and saved lives. When he did that, he knew he would suffer at the hands of Hitler. “The duty of a captain is to save his crew,” Mayor Parish said. After the Graf Spee was scut- tled, Mr. Langsdorff took his own life. Dr. Nedden spoke, Mayor Parish said, because “Inge’s English is only slightly better than my German.” “It’s quite an emotional mo- ment,” Dr. Nedden said. “It’s a very special event to be here today 60 years after the Battle of the River Plate.” He noted Mr. Langsdorff wrote a farewell letter to his wife, where “he took full re- sponsibility for everything that happened. He didn’t want to waste the lives of young men in a struggle he couldn’t win. “The history of Germany in the Second World War, which is a poor history. Thank you very much for this fine day,” Dr. Nedden stated. Mayor Parish said, “Some 68 years after the battle and 62 years after the end of the Second World War, it’s kind of fitting and appropriate that this little corner of Canada had a small, but significant story.” Ajax was founded shortly after the war started when the Allies looked for a place to build a munitions factory. Before the plant was constructed, Ajax was part of Pickering Township and primarily farmland. Mayor Parish said the cer- emony “brings this story full circle.” Ms. Nedden said in an interview the ceremony “will be in our minds as long as we live.” When asked how she thought her father would think of the event, Ms. Nedden said, “He would be proud of it.” Judy Dobson, whose house is where the dedication plaque was placed, said, “I thought it was great to have. It’s an hon- our. It’s great.” That the Town would “con- sider my property is a great honour for me.” The Neddens were travelling around Ontario with Kurt and Erika Dambach. Mr. Dambach served on the Frigate Graf Spee in the early 1960s. The Town presented Ms. Nedden with a Langsdorff Drive sign, a replica of the plaque dedicating the street and a copy of the book ‘A Town Called Ajax’.

Pam Killeen tells trustees sugar is worse than nicotine By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — When Pam Killeen graduated from teachers’ college, she took an oath to protect children. But, seeing what’s in On- tario schools today is mak- ing her uncomfortable, Ms. Killeen told the Durham District School Board’s standing committee on Oct. 1. A self-professed real- food-advocate, as well as an author on nutrition and a former teacher, Ms. Killeen shared some of her research and concerns about what kids are eating in schools today. “This is unacceptable, I took this picture in a school recently,” said Ms. Killeen, showing a picture of a slushy machine. In an interview, she said her comments were not re- ferring to Durham schools, but what she was seeing in Ontario schools in general. In 2005, the Ontario Medical Association stated children may not live as long as their parents, said Ms. Killeen while doing a power-point presentation. She referenced various studies and reports that pointed to saturated fats being wrongly demonized, low fat foods not creating healthy hearts or weight loss, processed foods lead- ing to obesity, and other issues. She said trans fat has been called the killer fat. “And it’s been called the killer fat for good reasons,” said Ms. Killeen, and added they’re available in schools. Even items listed as zero trans fat have it, but can get away with saying they don’t if it’s less than a cer- tain amount. Ms. Killeen spoke about sugar being worse than nicotine. Her list continued, point- ing to products in our diet causing various health problems, including aspar- tame. “And we can pay now or we can pay later,” she said. Excess weight and obesity could cost Ontario $2.2 bil- lion to $2.5 billion a year - let’s put that money in healthy food for kids in- stead, she said. “To me the answers just seem so obvious. I grew up in the 1970s; I survived without these foods,” she said. Ajax Trustee Marilyn Crawford said she’s proud to say her area probably has one of the healthiest high schools in the region right now – Pickering High School, because the caf- eteria is closed. She added there are subs and pizza available, but no fries. She added, healthy choices start at home. “I’ve had parents call me because the parents are upset they are not getting the french fries or hamburg- ers ...they are suggesting we have chip trucks come to the front of the school,” said Trustee Crawford. Ms. Killeen said we need to get more of the tactile foods in the school, be it through culinary programs and other things so kids can try them. “You’re preaching to the converted; I’m the most anal on this board about food,” said Trustee Craw- ford. Pickering Trustee Chris Braney said with his work through the Canadian Diabetes Association, he’s aware of the increases in Type 1 and 2 diabetes. “Soldier on, keep on the crusade,” said Trustee Braney. 8.1 3x 3.0 inch megapixels optical zoom LCD Screen Nikon Coolpix S51 s .IKONS 6IBRATION 2EDUCTION 62 IMAGE STABILIZATION s "UILT IN 7I &I CAPABILITY s .IKONS %80%%$© PROCESSOR WEBCODE: 566NIK052 $29999 Elegant Ruby Red Finish a Henry’s Exclusive One For The Show The Toronto Photographic & Digital Imaging Show is on this weekend at the International Centre in Mississauga.

PAGE A5 ◆ NEWS A DVERTISER ◆ October 10, 2007 A/P Majority of $10 million in shared funding will go to university By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Approval of a $7-million expansion is putting a new sharing framework into practice for Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT). The schools, which share a campus in Oshawa, agreed to spend the majority of $10 million pro- vided to them both by the Province, to add three extra floors to UOIT’s Automotive Centre of Excel- lence (ACE). Construction starts in November and should be finished by spring 2009, adding an extra 35,000 square feet to the building, instead of the 15,000-20,000 square feet in a stand-alone struc- ture. “We’re putting into practice the principles in the sharing agreement in real time,” said Leah Myers, Durham College president. While making the decision during a recent board of governors meeting, those involved were telling themselves it was a reflection of the agreement, said Ms. Myers. The sharing agreement components, approved during the same meeting, address academic col- laboration, administrative services, and legal structures for the Oshawa campus infrastructure. “And what we’ve done there is particularly im- portant for the university,” said Ronald Bordessa, UOIT president, referring to the land and building portion of the sharing agreement. The schools agreed half of the land belongs to Durham College and half to UOIT, while each of the campus’s buildings will be evaluated. Mr. Bord- essa said it makes sense for the college and univer- sity buildings to be owned by the institution that primarily uses them, but regardless of who owns what, the campus will be treated as one. Classes for either school could be scheduled in the other institution’s building if space allows. The ACE building expansion will be owned by UOIT and included on its financial statements, but discussions are still occurring on how best to use that space. The schools also have to decide what to do with the remaining $3 million in provincial funds. Regarding the sharing agreement, Ms. Myers said more work needs to be done to align the legal titles and financial books, as well as deter- mine which specific land parcels belong to which school. Over the next year, they’ll be working on a mas- ter plan for the approximately 425 acres of shared campus to illustrate what they want it to look like over the next 10 to 15 years. The sharing agreement also looks at providing more opportunities for students to move from the college to university, and vice versa. “I think we’re going to see a much more ac- celerated time frame for the development of new opportunities for our students,” said Ms. Myers. The administrative services portion of the agreement looks at the most cost-efficient ways of providing them, while supplying a clear un- derstanding for employees and the college and university on their role and what’s expected, said Mr. Bordessa. Although the schools already have a good working relationship, the agreement makes explicit on paper how they want it to work and al- lows them to be open and transparent about their partnership together, said Ms. Myers. Mr. Bordessa said it also helps recognize and promote the idea of the importance of working together. Post-secondary campus plans for more space ‘I think we’re going to see a much more accelerated time frame for the development of new opportunities for our students.’ LEAH MYERS I n the next 14 days my sons will turn 13 and 16 years of age, an event so cataclysmi- cally overwhelming it rivals a complete solar eclipse, ice age or perhaps a Leaf cup victory. I am unquestionably not the first parent to go through this, but that doesn’t lessen the impact any. And I am discovering that those who have gone through it, like airplane crash survivors or Vietnam veterans, are loathe to talk about their experiences. The mere mention of those years is accompanied by facial ticks and glassy-eyed thousand-yard stares. This is something, appar- ently, one must face on one’s own. For the first time in our lives, my wife and I will have two teen- agers on the premises. And don’t misunderstand me, it’s not the number that is the issue. In the past we’ve had many teens in the house at various times, but as we had no biological bond with most of them we happily and eagerly kicked them out when the hormonal funk level went off the charts. We can’t do that with these two. We made them. After experiencing our first teenager’s behaviour, I had voiced, I thought reasonably, that one more would simply amount to twice the laundry, sarcasm and rolling of angst-rid- den eyes. But friends and relatives who have been there and lived to tell the tale, have made it plain that, while this is true, there is expo- nentially more to contend with when a second or, God help us, a third or fourth is added to the mix. Teenagers, apparently, are like Siamese fighting fish. One is fine. He swims comfortably, if mood- ily around his bowl and minds his own navel-gazing business. But the moment you place an- other of his kind within sight he becomes truculent, territorial and completely unreasonable. By the by, females, again I am told, are far and away the worst. This is why you don’t see any fe- male Siamese fighting fish. They killed each other off years ago over a prom dress issue. Still, the gasoline on the fire here, the real ghost in the ma- chine, is the ‘16’ thing. Sixteen, as I recall, is that mys- terious demarcation line where gangly, moody boys suddenly become either gunslingers or poets. Strident, authority-challeng- ing Turks or emotionally mired artistes with hair-trigger world- weariness and calloused diary fingers. In my own case I was some- thing of an anomaly, a “poem- slinger” for lack of a better phrase. I would happily knock people down on the football field for hours then closet myself with journal and pen, a sort of Franz Kafka in gym socks. When this happens you may as well have a foreign exchange student living under your roof. No one seems to understand them. And although they and their siblings may only be sepa- rated by a scant year or two, in the eyes of the older the younger may as well be wearing diapers. Enter Siamese Fighting fish. Thus far my children get along quite well. There is the occa- sional dust-up but they generally don’t last long and it’s usually nothing that a half-hour in head- phones and music can’t cool out. And they seem to like us too. Still, I know that in two weeks time, on the eve of the 12-year- old’s 13th birthday, I’ll be as anx- ious as I was on Dec. 31, 1999, wondering if when I awake the next day, the peaceful world as I know it will be gone forever.

EDITORIAL CLICK AND SAY IN THE COMMUNITY /4& No need for federal election right now The only thing worse than two elections at exactly the same time is one election following right on the heels of another one. But as Ontarians go to the polls today to choose a new provincial government -- and also to vote in a referendum about whether to change the way they select that government -- there is a good chance they’ll be going right back there in about six weeks time. That’s because the federal government will deliver a speech from the throne next Tuesday that most observers figure will be opposed by the three opposition parties. The first opportunity to oppose the Conservative government’s throne speech will be a week from tomorrow. Should the govern- ment be defeated an election for late November would be trig- gered. That would certainly result in election fatigue in Canada’s largest province -- and in Newfoundland too which had its own provincial election yesterday -- and one wonders whether the public would pay much attention to what the federal parties have to say. The bigger question is this: Would an election now, two years before one is mandated by legislation, serve any party’s purposes? The Conservatives have hinted they have a five-point plan they intend to follow over the next two years. The key elements include tax relief, commitment to the Afghan mission, climate change measures, get tough on crime legislation and an attempt to work further on the federal-provincial funding formula. The key debate among opposition parties coming out of the throne speech will be whether they can stomach the Conserva- tive governing plan or if they will feel compelled to bring the government down. And if an election takes place, what will be the outcome? The central figure in the whole drama is Liberal leader Stephane Dion, who has failed to connect with citizens since his surprise leadership win last December. Conventional wisdom would sug- gest he is in no position to head into an immediate federal election. He needs more time to rebuild his party and establish himself as a national leader. While the NDP and Bloc Quebecois may want to go to the polls, they’ll need the Liberals who surely don’t want to take that leap. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, while in a minority position, has a mandate to govern and there appears to be little appetite for a federal election -- especially in Ontario. He should be allowed to continue what he started 18 months ago. This Week’s Question: Was it heavy-handed of the City of Oshawa and police to search student rental housing for lease or rental documents? Yes No Cast your vote online at infodurhamregion.com Last Week’s Question: Do you support changing the way we elect MPPs to a mixed member proportional system? Total votes: 926 Yes : 52 % No: 48 % We should buy local To the editor: I recently went in search of Ontario apples. I was craving crisp sweet Courtlands. First I went to the largest grocery store (Loblaws) where almost all of the produce was from the U.S. When I pointed it out, the produce man glee- fully smiled and said, “Isn’t it great we have them (Amer- ica)?!” I suggested we should support our local farmers and he replied, “They don’t grow or- anges in Ontario!” I left. Then I went to the second largest store (Sobeys) and saw a sign for Ontario apples. The produce fellow was embarrassed when I showed him the package in- dicated they were from the U.S. Finally I went where I should have started -- a small store (BC Produce) proudly flying the Foodlands Ontario flag, where the apples came from their or- chards and the carrots from the Holland Marsh. I encourage everyone to find stores that sell produce that hasn’t been flown or trucked thousands of miles, using fossil fuels, cold storage, plastic bags and wax coatings. Take your own bags and fill them with apples that were picked the day before, just down the road. Do yourself, the farmers and the planet a favour. I challenge you to eat only Ontario produce for a week. And wash it all down with a bottle of world-class Ontario wine. And never stop hassling those big stores to buy locally! Mary Delaney Pickering Catholic schools are multicultural To the editor: Re: David Vose letter. His assertion that students in the separate school system “will grow up with no understanding and appreciation for people of a different culture” is a fallacy that needs to be dealt with once and for all. For starters, does he mean people of a different race or is he talking about religion? As far as race goes, there is as much variety of skin colour in chil- dren going to separate schools as there is in students of public schools. When it comes to reli- gion, public schools have long- since abandoned classroom prayers, and any belief that a being called God might have had a hand in evolution is dismissed outright. Further intolerance to religion is also shown. Let any teacher set up a Christmas crib in a classroom and watch the fireworks fly. The same goes for setting up a menorah (with its seven candles) during Jewish festivities, or placing an image of Buddha on the desk. Surely Mr. Vose can’t be se- rious in suggesting that chil- dren will have no contact with other cultures unless they at- tend public schools. Actually, the hours spent in school are overwhelmed in numbers by the hours spent out of school. In this case, children mix with their neighbourhood friends of different cultures and races in order to play street hockey and driveway basketball; they attend community centres together; they join sports teams of mixed races and religions; and later they get jobs with a wide variety of people of different cultures. The aim of the separate sys- tem (which is open to different faith groups when room is avail- able) is to instill in students a love of God and neighbour. It is designed to teach them to have respect for themselves and oth- ers and to respect the property of others. What is so wrong with that?

With the upcoming fall season, there will be leaves and debris collecting on catch basins on your street. In an effort to avoid street flooding, your cooperation in keeping catch basins clear of obstructions in your neighbourhood would be appreciated. City staff resources are not always sufficient to keep up with the need and demand due to the vast number of catch basins and the increasing urban forest cover, including mature street trees. There are a few things you can do to help City crews: • keep drains clear of any accumulated debris • dispose of yard waste properly, so it never gets washed into catch basins. Please refrain from blowing or raking leaves and grass clippings onto roadways. Municipal Operations Help us keep your streets clean and safe this fall season Before After The goal of this program is to clear storm sewer catch basin grates on a regular basis so it is less likely they will become blocked during heavy rains and cause flooding.

Scho ol event s Nun avut Breaki ng NewsEntertainersSports Durham Region Media Group Robert Almack receives Bruce Mather Award By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A Port Perry High School teacher’s dedication to stu- dents has earned him school board recognition. Robert Almack is this year’s recipi- ent of the Bruce Mather Award, heard those attending the Sept. 17 Durham District School Board meeting. Cho- sen by a committee from 10 nomina- tions, Mr. Almack was instrumental in developing the Durham Forest as a residential outdoor education centre and creating the Academy of Reading. “I want to say how outstanding a person he is,” said Pickering Trustee Sherry Croteau, who was on the selec- tion committee. “These are kids that are sitting on the edge of not making it,” she said, referring to those with whom he works. She added he pulls them back into the education system so they can finish high school and go on to other things. During his acceptance speech, Mr. Almack thanked the board. “But, this award is the result of the collected efforts of many talented and dedicated people,” he said. Mr. Almack talked about how he became involved in helping struggling kids learn to read and was hooked right away. He thanked all the people involved, those who helped get the Academy of Reading going, and made investments to help children learn to read. He also discussed two students with whom he’s worked. One had re- ceived a massive brain injury, spent time in The Hospital for Sick Chil- dren, and missed two years of primary education. In Grade 9, the area of his brain that makes reading automatic was damaged – it must be rewired now because he can read books fluently, said Mr. Almack. Another child came to the school in Grade 9 and had problems with the alphabet, but by age 16, he could read his driver’s manual. “The Bruce Mather award is not about me, it’s about our collective goal to make students’ lives better,” said Mr. Almack. Developing reading automaticity is the most important thing they can do to help students learn and become confident adults, he added. “I am thankful I work with such a progressive team, to all of you who made this award possible, thank you,” he said. Deadline is Dec. 7 DURHAM — People who are making a difference in our communities will be recognized at The Canadian Envi- ronment Awards. You can nominate people in your community who you think help to make the environment better. All nominations must be in by Dec. 7. The judges of this competition rep- resent the geographic diversity of Can- ada. The Gold and Silver award win- ners will be announced at a gala held during Canada’s Environment Week on June 2, in Toronto. Gold Award win- ners will receive a cash prize of $5,000 and Silver Award winners will receive $2,500. All winners must donate their prize money to a not-for-profit environmen- tal cause of their choice.

Wakefield scored a third-pe- riod marker in her collegiate debut to rally New Hamp- shire past St. Law- rence University 4- 2 in its first game (non conference) of the season in Canton, New York on Friday. The Dunbar- ton graduate is in her rookie season with the UNH Wildcats, which is currently ranked third in the U.S. Wakefield will also be skating for Canada at the upcoming 4 Nations Cup in Leksand, Sweden (Nov. 7 to 11) as she was named to the 22-player roster recently. It’s the first time Wakefield will play for Canada at the 4 Nations Cup, which also includes the U.S., Sweden and Finland. Panthers carved up on weekend PICKERING — Maybe it was antici- pation of a long weekend complete with turkey and all the trimmings. Whatever the reasons, the Pickering Panthers laid an egg on the ice after suf- fering a pair of OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League defeats. The upshot of the losses was the Panthers (3-8-0-0) fell all the way to the bottom of the league’s South Conference standings. The Panthers played in Oshawa against the Durham Fury on Tuesday night, with the result un- available at press time. On Sunday, the Panthers dropped a 7-5 decision to the North York Rangers at the Herb Carnegie Arena in Toronto. They started the weekend on the road in Toronto on Friday night where they were whitewashed by the host St. Michael’s Buzzers 7-0. After leading 3-2 heading into the sec- ond intermission, the Panthers suffered a poor third period against the Rangers, outscored 5-2 in the frame with North York’s Kevin Willer connecting for a hat trick. Jamie MacQueen contributed a hat trick to the losing cause. Brad Fleish- man and Andy Andreoff added singles in Sunday’s loss. Andreoff also chipped in with two assists. Sunday’s result, however, was a far cry from the pasting administered by St. Mike’s on Friday. The Buzzers snowed under the Panthers right from the get-go, scoring five times in the first period. They added two more in each of the second and third frames for the runaway victory. The Panthers return to action on home ice on Friday night against the rival Ajax Attack at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7:30 p.m. [ Football ] Dolphins atoms silence Thunder DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering Dol- phins atoms continued to stake its claim to first place in league play with a 36-8 victory over the Scarborough Thunder in recent league action in Scarborough. The victory improves the Dolphins’ Central Ontario Minor Football League re- cord to 6-1. The key to victory was the work of the Dolphins’ defence, which held a potent Scarborough Thunder offence to a mere eight points in the contest at Scarbor- ough’s Birchmount Stadium. Linebackers Shakir Lewis and Leigh Philip shut down the Thunder wishbone backfield, while defen- sive backs Cole Belec and Michael Glibbery protected against the pass. The Dolphins’ offence ran the ball for more than 300 yards and had five touchdowns on the day. Running back Malik Irwin and quarterback Damien White each scored one touchdown. Fullback Reakwon Grant was unstoppable, running for 163 yards and scoring three touchdowns. The point-after team led by kicker Shaquan Williams, holder Carmen Scala and long snapper Hayden Macnamee was 3-for-5 on the point-after-touchdown at- tempts, accounting for six of the 36 points scored. Fullback Grant and running back Irwin were the offensive players of the game; Linebacker Lewis and defensive back Belec were the defensive players of the game. The Dolphins atoms see next action this Sunday, Oct. 14, against the same Thunder squad at Kinsmen Park at 11:30 a.m. Jen Wakefield Sports briefs OCTOBER 10, 2007 PAGE B1 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ October 10, 2007 P Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo The Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Lady Cougars senior girls’ basketball team hopes to win its second title in as many years at the Notre Dame/News Advertiser Bas- ketball Classic senior girls’ tournament at the north Ajax school, starting on Friday. Pictured are Samantha Omlas, Ariana Santos, Lindsay Panchan, Rhea Pascal, Felicia Roberts Shanica Baker, Nicholle McKenzie, Catherine Bougoulias, Rosie Marfo, Monique Johnson, Jeaunelle Rose and Ashlee Palmer. On the prowl for a repeat Lady Cougars hope to go back-to-back at Notre Dame/News Advertiser Classic By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — What’s better for the host Lady Cougars than winning its inau- gural Notre Dame/News Advertiser Classic senior girls’ basketball tourna- ment? Well, winning it again, of course. That’s just what the Notre Dame Cath- olic Secondary School squad hopes to do at the eight-team tournament at the north Ajax school this Friday and Saturday. And, make no mistake, the other seven teams in the event will look to knock off the defending champs. Also entered are the Sinclair Celtics and Donald A. Wilson Gators of Whitby, the G.L Roberts Lakers and O’Neill Redhawks of Oshawa, the Pine Ridge Pumas of Pickering, and the J. Clarke Richardson Storm and Pickering High School Trojans of Ajax. Notre Dame head coach and tour- nament organizer Rose Booker says the goal is to win for a second time, but by no means will any one of the seven other teams concede anything to the hosts. “We’re looking for good competi- tion from the Durham teams. I think we have a good mixture,” says Booker, following her team’s big Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) win over the Pickering High School Trojans last week. If anything, Booker notes her Lady Cougars are stronger and have more depth than the squad that cap- tured the inau- gural tournament in 2006. Not only does Notre Dame boast veteran players in front court stars Nich- olle McKenzie and Rhea Pascal, and back court starters Catherine Bougoulias and Rosie Marfo, but also a solid mix of younger players, too. “We’re off to a good start this season. We’ve got some veter- ans but, at the same time we have some Grade 9, 10 and 11 players in the lineup like Shanika Baker, who’s a Grade 9 student, and Lindsay Panchan, who’s in Grade 10,” explains Booker. Mostly, though, the strength of the Lady Cougars is its ability to rebound the ball at both ends of the court. And, that’s been carried off to a large degree by starting forwards 5-foot, 11- inch Pascal and six-foot, 1-inch McK- enzie, who’ve caused major matchup problems for opponents so far this season. “I don’t think very many teams will out rebound us,” she says, adding Pas- cal and McKenzie have garnered in- terest from university basketball pro- grams in the states. That added depth this year also runs in the guard positions with Bou- goulias, Marfo and Lindsay Panchan able to get the Lady Cougars into their offence with their strong ball-han- dling skills. “Having Catherine, Rosie and Lind- say, any one of them I’m confident can run things at any given time. That’s the kind of depth we didn’t have last year,” says Booker. The tournament gets under way at Notre Dame at 9 a.m. on Friday morn- ing, continuing all day until the final game at 7:30 p.m. Action continues on Saturday, starting at 9 a.m. with the championship game slated for 1:30 p.m. Notre Dame plays its first-round game at 9 a.m. on Friday against the Donald A.

Due to warm weather and humidity, the ice took longer than usual to freeze. League play started on Tuesday. Leagues get under way for new season this week; Ajax curling club hosts OCA events in November By Jim Easson Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — Annandale Curling Club began 2007-08 league play on Tues- day, Oct. 9 and the ice should be better than ever for the players this season. That’s because the club installed a new compressor over the summer to ensure the ice will be in great shape for the duration of the season. Annandale is scheduled to host Ontario Curling Association play- downs next month, including the Pepsi Junior Women’s and Men’s playdowns from Nov. 16 to 18, and there are also senior women’s and men’s playdowns planned for the Ajax-based facility. The first of three adult curling clinics at Annandale is slated for Wednesday, Oct. 10 from 7 to 10 p.m. for beginners. Another beginners’ session goes Saturday, Oct. 20 from 8:30 a.m. until noon. The more experienced advanced session is also that Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. The cost is $10 a person. Non-members are welcome. For the comfort and enjoyment of all participants, the clinics are open only to those 18 years of age or older. ••• Some of the best names in men’s curling will compete head-to-head in December, as TSN has announced the lineup for the first-ever Casino Rama Curling Skins Game. In curling skins games, there is money (a skin) at each end for a score of two or a steal. The money carries over until one side wins the skin. The teams invited to compete in the cash purse of $100,000 are skipped by Glenn Howard (including Pick- ering’s Richard Hart), Wayne Middaugh, Kevin Mar- tin and Brad Gushue. Among them they have two Olympic medals, five World titles, seven Brier championships and 11 TSN Curling Skins Games victories. TSN will air live games on Dec. 8 and 9 in three, three-hour telecasts. Casino Rama will build a curling rink exclusively for the event in its 5,000- seat entertainment centre. It will be the first time a Canadian casino has staged a curling event, and represents the first year of a three-year partnership between TSN and Casino Rama. ••• The Glenn Howard rink got off to a good start this season, winning the Shorty Jenkins Classic again in Brockville Sept. 20 to 23. The current world championship team consists of Glenn at skip, Hart at vice, Brent Laing at second, and Craig Savill as lead. The team collected $9,400 for its event win. They next head to Gander, New- foundland for the Don Bartlett Clas- sic from Oct. 11 to 14. Twenty-four top teams will vie for a share of the $64,000 total purse.

Pickering minor bantams lay claim to Kawartha Lakes title Panthers down Brampton in final PICKERING — The Pickering Panthers minor bantam ‘AA’ rep hockey team made its first tourna- ment outing a winning one in Peterborough recently. The Panthers compet- ed at the Kawartha Lakes Tournament, returning home victorious after a 5-3 victory over the Brampton Battalion in the final. Corey Wells connected for a pair of goals to pace Pickering; Alex Young, Robert Bian- chi and Nicholas Gucciardi added singles. Alex Cas- tanheiro, Daniel Moy, Blair Williams, Gucciardi and Michael Giardino all drew assists. The Pickering boys en- tered the semifinals in sec- ond place in their division, facing the first place team in the other division, the Humberview Huskies. The Panthers notched a 4-2 vic- tory, sending the Panthers to the finals. Williams, Gucciardi, Aidan Masse and Bianchi all figured in the scoring. Earning assists were Cas- tanheiro, Moy, Williams, Gucciardi and Giardino. The Panthers opened pool play with a narrow 2-1 win over Caledon. In Game 2, the Pickering minor bantams dropped their only game of the tour- nament, a 2-1 loss to the Toronto Eastenders. Facing the Missis- sauga Terriers in Game 3, Pickering got off to a slow start, allowing the Terriers to open the scoring. The Panthers rallied, however, for a 4-3 victory. Rounding out the team in net are Mitchell Sora and Justin Urquhart. Ryan Hickey and Patrick Mor- gan provided speed and strength up front, and Mat- thew Yarde and Lucas Stork played solid defence for the Panthers. Rob Wells coaches the team, assisted by Dave Sora, Bill Redmond and Denis Masse. Craig Young is the trainer and Randy Sora the manager.

When WWII broke out, Pat joined the Home Guard. When he became old enough to enlist, he joined the Royal Air Force and was shipped to England. After the war ended, Pat returned home and married his childhood sweetheart Vera on October 11, 1947. In 1948, their daughter Patricia arrived and 1949, they very courageously left the security of their families and immigrated to Toronto. Pat was 24, Vera 22. Their first son, Bryon, arrived in 1950 and 1953, they moved to the cozy hamlet known then as Frenchman's Bay. In 1955, their second son, Tom, arrived. They now also have 6 grandchildren, 2 great-grand- children with 2 more great-grandchildren due to arrive shortly! Both Pat and Vera have been very active in the community for 25+ years via the South Pickering Seniors Club, Community Care and the Pickering Legion Branch 606. Pat has been recognized many times for his volunteer work, including awarded "Pickering Senior of the Year" in 2006. Frenchman's Bay has gone through many name and landscape changes since their arrival but one constant has been that Pat and Vera are still there. Their children, grand children and great-grandchildren love them very much and wish them many more wonderful years to share together. Pinder, Inez Marrilyn Died on October 8, 2005 At the age of 54.

Life but a dream for Pickering actors Borelians start season with ‘Alice in Wonderland’ By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Word. Play. Those two words really sum up the Borelians’ season opener, Alice in Wonderland, which runs Oct. 18 to 27 at Town Hall 1873. It’s a play about words. And it’s about word play, the importance, or perhaps unimportance, of words, what they mean and how we use them. But it’s also a play about nonsense and fun. All of which means there’s some- thing for everyone of all ages. “It’s an adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s classic stories, Through the Looking Glass and Alice in Wonderland,” said director Carey Nicholson. The play, written by Eva LaGalli- enne and Florida Friebus in 1932 and revised in 1947, is based on Carroll’s actual text from his two works, she said. “I think most of us are more familiar with the cartoon versions,” Nicholson said. “This is the actual text. Lewis Carroll was just passionate about games, math and word play.” It shows in his works and it shows in the play, she said. At one point, Humpty Dumpty talks about whether words are the masters of people or if people are the masters of words. “That was for me the overriding theme, the word play, how you play with the words,” Nicholson said. The production will have that “old- fashioned, romantic feel to it” with some modern touches, she said. Over- all, she and the cast and crew are striving for “a dream-like quality, an absurd quality,” she said. “It’s going to be one of those plays you want to see more than once.” Winding through it all is instrumen- tal and vocal music. The familiar characters are all there -- Alice, The Mad Hatter, The Caterpil- lar, The Queen of Hearts, Cheshire Cat, White Knight, Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee and more -- played by a cast of 32, made up of actors of all ages from Port Perry, Uxbridge, Osha- wa, Clarington, Whitby and Pickering. There are familiar Borelians faces from past productions along with new members, both young and old. In fact, there are several families involved in the play, both on and off stage. “I think this is the largest cast the Borelians have had for some time,” she said, adding it’s exciting to see new ac- tors mixed in with the familiar ones. The cast includes a large number of young people, many of whom have prominent roles, Nicholson said. These include the Alices, Shelby Cun- liffe, who’s appeared with Oshawa Lit- tle Theatre and Marisa DeSouza, who appeared in the Borelians’ production of The Miracle Worker last season. They are splitting the role, with Shelby handling evening performances and Marisa the matinees. Familiar Borelians’ actors in the play are Michael Serres as the Mad Hatter and Humpty Dumpty, Aidan Serres as the Cheshire Cat, Andy Williamson as the King of Hearts and Howard Linscott as the White Knight. Other actors involved are Joe Bezubiak as the Mock Turtle, Graeme Melcher as the Gryphon, Breanne Twining as the White Rabbit, Cait Thompson as the Red Queen, Marg Partington as the White Queen, Trish Blackburn as the Queen of Hearts, Laurinda Wallis as the Duchess, Alex Huard as the March Hare and Victoria Cutler as the Dor- mouse. Due to limited resources and bud- get, which have a major impact on special effects, Nicholson has staged Alice as if a travelling theatre troupe is presenting a play in the community, bringing with them a handful of dra- matic devices and imaginations. Helping ensure the whimsical, dreamy, absurd theme of the play is carried out on stage is production de- signer and artist Jennifer Hardie, who has created many of the props and set decoration. “These pieces are works of art in themselves,” Nicholson said. The play opens at 8 p.m. with 2 p.m. matinees Oct. 20 and 27. Tickets are $18 for adults, $15 for students and seniors. Tickets are available at Hen- shall’s Clothiers, Queen Street, 905- 985-1965, through StarTicketing at 1-866-808-2006 or www.starticketing. com. The Borelians are part of EyeGo to the Arts, with high school students able to get $5 tickets with valid ID (go to www.borelians.org or www.eyego. org for details.) For more information, including pictures and bios of cast and crew, go to www.borelians.org. Entertainment in brief OCTOBER 10, 2007 Koonstra exhibits newest works at OPG in Pickering DURHAM — The shadows of peo- nies, the scenery around Uxbridge, and trips to Europe, the U.S.A., and Canada, inspire Uxbridge artist Han- neke Koonstra. She is showing her new works until Nov. 5 at the Ontario Power Gen- eration (OPG) Info Centre. Koonstra is a former special education teacher who rewarded her students with art classes. “I frequently run into former stu- dents and they still have many of the pieces they did in my class or in the art club after school. My students often struggled in the regular subjects like math and read- ing but were able to excel during our art periods providing them with an opportunity to express themselves constructively and receive positive feedback for their abilities,” states Koonstra in a press release. OPG’s Info Centre is open to the public from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. It is at 1675 Montgomery Park Rd. (at the foot of Brock Road). Admission is free.
