Home My WebLink AboutNA2007_10_24NHL’s the goal, but policing’s OK with junior police chief from Ajax By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — It wasn’t a call-up to skate with the Toronto Maple Leafs, but Monday turned out to be pretty cool for Matthew Kostuch, anyway. Matthew, 10, was decked out in a tailored uniform and had the run of the Durham Regional Police Service for the day as the winner of the annual Chief for a Day contest. The Grade 5 student was picked up at Roberta Bondar Public School in Ajax and escorted in a cruiser to po- lice headquarters in Whitby Monday morning, where he met erstwhile Chief Mike Ewles and took his oath of office. Looking on were his proud parents, Jim and Christine, 8-year-old twin sisters Kristen and Jessica, grandma Eleanor Nurse and grandfather Mitch Kostuch, as well as several classmates and other well-wishers. There followed a day full of activi- ties, but first Matthew took a walk to the Chief’s corner office, where he en- joyed the view of a sparkling autumn day below and chatted about the job. “You never know what comes across this desk in a day -- it’s full of surprises,” Chief Ewles told his junior counterpart, who sat perched in the top cop’s chair. “I bet it’s an exciting job,” Matthew mused. “It’s an exciting job,” Chief Ewles confirmed. Matthew was one of a number of contestants in the annu- al competition, submitting an essay for consideration by judges. He said We’ll make it happen!

Doug Cavanaugh, the man Mr. An- drews replaced as association boss following a hotly-contested election last October, was named winner of a byelection held Monday. He assumes leadership of a board that was torn by controversy -- including an inves- tigation by the RCMP and a call from members for the president and his officers to be turfed last June -- during Mr. Andrews’s time in office. The election has members of the association, which represents 800 uni- form officers and 300 civilian employ- ees, hopeful for peaceful times ahead. Detective Larry Nobbs, who along with director Gary Branton challenged Mr. Cavanaugh for the presidency, expressed a desire to move forward under the new boss. “He’s a proven guy,” Det. Nobbs said of Mr. Cavanaugh. “I’m hoping he’ll continue to do a good job. Matthew has big boots to fill AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo Matthew Kostuch, a Grade 5 student at Dr. Roberta Bondar Public School, puts his feet up on Durham Regional Police Chief Mike Ewle’s desk while being interviewed by various media. Matthew spent a day with the police service after he was named po- lice chief for a day.

It contained carvings such as candles shooting out from the barrel of a gun and urban sprawl pav- ing over green fields. The pole, donated by Toronto Hydro, was to be erected in the native plant and butterfly garden of Scarborough’s Morningside Park. The pole was sitting in the park, chained to two sawhorses, when it was stolen. When Mr. James and the young peo- ple first began their endeavour, he saw a lot of doubt in their eyes, but after three weeks, they “had the grinders just going like bats out of hell, and they were seeing things happen.” He said they didn’t only begin trusting the tools, but themselves by sticking with something and seeing it through. “There’s something about that that’s not just about art; it’s about life,” he said. Mr. James was mostly upset when the creation was stolen because many of the kids were “at-risk” and he found they didn’t have much to look forward to. And he was heartened when the youth created something that was ap- preciated by their friends, parents and the entire community. “And then when somebody comes around and steals their efforts, what kind of message does that send to them?” he said. When it was found, it added to the roller coaster ride Mr. James has been on since learning it was stolen. Since the youth were upset when they learned of the theft, he was happy the negative message turned into a posi- tive one. “It says it’s not all lost,” he said. “Yeah, there are bad forces in the world, there are people who will take from them. But they’ve got to keep the faith, they’ve got to be strong, willing to go on, and sometimes things turn around, and turn out for the best. And I think they all learned from that.” He added the fact the media, friends and the community became so involved and concerned the totem pole was reported missing showed how much their work was appreciated. He hopes the people who took the totem pole in the first place also learned a lesson. “I don’t think they realized how many lives that they were touching,” he said. Mr. James encourages the culprits to get involved in their community in a similar way. He believes they’ll feel the same positive feelings the youth he worked with experienced. “Be a part of it; don’t be the destructor of it,” he said. Michelle Pongracz, TRCA supervisor of stewardship programs/project ecol- ogist, Highland Creek, said the totem pole suffered some damage, and once that’s assessed by Mr. James, they’ll decide when it will go up. In the mean- time, “it’s heavily guarded now” in a locked storage facility. Totem pole story ends happily ✦ See Doug, Page A2 Submitted photo Dorsey James works on a totem pole that was stolen from Scarborough’s Morning- side Park last week. The story had a happy ending as the totem pole was found a few days later. Mr. Dorsey had mentored a number of youth who helped carve the pole. ‘I don’t think they realized how many lives that they were touching.’ DORSEY JAMES New boss for police association Worker hit by car in construction zone AJAX — A worker remains in hos- pital with serious injuries after being struck by a car in a construction zone Monday morning in Ajax. Durham police said the 54-year-old Brampton man was crossing Taunton Road near Harwood as work pro- gressed on the roadway around 11:30 a.m. when he was struck by an east- bound Honda being driven by a 34- year-old Ajax woman. The victim was taken to local hospital before being airlifted to a Toronto trauma unit, where he was listed in critical condi- tion with life-threatening injuries. Investigators with Durham police, the Ministry of Labour and Durham Region attended the scene. “He knows his stuff and he knows what needs to be done,” Det. Nobbs said. Mr. Cavanaugh could not be reached for comment. Mr. Andrews swept into office in October 2006 with confidence and the demeanor of a man with a vision. He quickly drew a line in the sand for Dur- ham police management, declaring he’d fight for the staffing and resources necessary to police the burgeoning community. But he just as rapidly ran afoul of some directors and association mem- bers who objected to his management style, described variously as confronta- tional and even reckless. By January 2007 he was being chal- lenged by some members for his de- cision to take a young offender on a “scared straight” tour of the Lind- say jail last Christmas and in May the RCMP were called in to investigate when it was revealed Mr. Andrews, Vice President Dave Robinson and other members of his circle had been intercepting and reading members’ e- mail (the probe concluded with no finding of criminality). And in June Mr. Andrews weath- ered an overt coup attempt when sev- eral association members presented a petition calling for a vote to remove Mr. Andrews, Mr. Robinson and Secre- tary - Treasurer Mike Glennie. Among those who signed the petition -- it was ruled unconstitutional -- was Doug Cavanaugh. And interestingly, some say the tough times he endured early on may have helped to blunt some of the rough edges from the firebrand cop’s leader- ship style. One association member, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that over time Mr. Andrews developed into an effective president, delegating more and working in harmony with his board of directors. “He was leading,” the source said. “I think if he’d run this time it would have been a close election,” the source added. “A lot of people still had faith in him.” Whitby 1400 Victoria Street East 905-430-3057 The AIR MILES® program, another great reason to shop at RONA!TM Wednesday, October 24 FREE for the first 500 customers RONA Biodegradable Leaf Bags ( 5-pack )g Friday $5 RONA Gift Card Saturday RONA Cap Sunday TM DOUBLE AIR MILES® reward miles with any purchase of $20 or more (excluding taxes and the purchase of gift cards).

Among the activities Matthew enjoyed during his day as chief were a visit to the motorcycle unit -- his own special request -- and a demonstration by the canine unit, as well as a tour of the cells at 17 Divi- sion in Oshawa, examination of the forensics department, and, best of all, a fly-by of his school in Air 1, the police helicopter. So Matthew must really be con- sidering a career in law enforcement ...right? “Honestly, I want to be in the NHL,” the youngster replied with candor, al- lowing, however, that the position of police officer would be a fine backup plan in the event hockey does not pan out. “I think it’s a very important job,” Matthew said. “They protect all of Dur- ham and keep it safe for us.” Matthew’s official duties concluded at 3 p.m. He’ll be a guest of honour Thursday night, when the annual Police Appre- ciation Dinner and Awards Night is held in Ajax.

Beautiful skin ... great body Treatments that work Photo radar is on new MPP’s radar Dickson wants to hear from residents in Ajax and Pickering By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX — Joe Dickson was “back home” on Monday, only this time he was gathering information before moving to Queen’s Park. The MPP-elect for Ajax-Pickering Riding appeared before Ajax council, looking for input on issues important to the Town. Mr. Dickson noted he had a con- versation with Mayor Steve Parish on “how to work together. We have the same objective, improving the lot of Ajax. “Some things we should be doing together,” he stated, such as reversing the download- ing done by the Mike Harris gov- ernment in the mid-1990s. “We need to look at transpor- tation and the transit system in Durham Region. It still needs to prove itself,” Mr. Dickson said. He pointed to the government’s “20/20 Vision” of 43 transit-related projects, including six in Durham Region, to help move traf- fic. The environment is “a key focus ev- erywhere we go,” he said, pointing to the Greenbelt, waste issues and air quality. “We can never do enough.” Community safety has been a key issue in Ajax and Mr. Dickson point- ed to the strategy the Town has been working on, calling it a “positive step.” Durham Regional Police would “pre- fer crime prevention rather than focus on solving crimes after they happen,” he noted. “We need youth facilities to complement the pro-active measures of the police.” He’d like to have red-light cameras and photo radar. “I’d like to see them come forward. It’s something needed.” Regional Chairman Roger Anderson is organizing a meeting between the eight mayors in Durham and the MPPs from the area, he stated. To keep in touch with residents, Mr. Dickson said he’ll continue to issue newsletters, provided he’s allowed to under provincial rules. “I’d like to come back throughout the year” to discuss issues at council, Mr. Dickson added. And, he’ll hold town hall meetings, Mr. Dickson said. “It’s important to make yourself available. “I’ll do what I love more than any- thing else and that’s being out in the public, listening to them,” Mr. Dickson stated. Wards 1 and 2 Regional Councillor Scott Crawford, who called Mr. Dick- son a “true friend,” questioned if a cabinet post was in the offing. “It’s certainly premature. Premier (Dalton) McGuinty is saddled with looking after the entire province. “I’m the new kid. I’ll sit in the back row, up near the ceiling. I have to pay my dues,” he said. The mayor had sent Mr. Dickson a letter, signed by all councillors, that ad- dressed a number of issues important to the Town, including downloading, health care, policing and community safety, traffic gridlock, the Greenbelt, Lake Ontario water quality, and ex- panding the number of slots at Ajax Downs to 800 machines. “I know you’ll endeavour to move these forward at Queen’s Park,” Mayor Parish said. “We look forward to your success and the government’s.” Mayor Parish also praised Mr. Dick- son for his “many years of service doing work and what you have contributed.” Joe Dickson Board of Trade awards honour business excellence By Izabela Jaroszynski ijaroszynski@durhamregion.com DURHAM — “We are fortunate to have businesses of this calibre in our community.” With those words, Ron Bordessa in- troduced the nominees for the 2007 Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade Business Excellence Awards. The UOIT president acknowledged the hard work of all the nominees, which included businesses from a vari- ety of sectors and industries. “This year has been exceptional,” Dr. Bordessa said. “With a record number of nominees.” The big winners of the night were Pat McNeil and Rocky Simmons who shared the award for Business Person of the Year. It was the first time since the Board began giving out the award for top businessperson in 2004 that two nominees tied for the honour. Mr. McNeil, who began his career with Ontario Hydro in 1976, is the se- nior vice-president of Nuclear Genera- tion Development at OPG. He was recognized for his unique leadership style that allows him to cre- ate and maintain solid working rela- tionships and allows for an open and transparent style of management. Mr. McNeil thanked his staff and his family and acknowledged his ties to the local community, which he compared favourably to Toronto. “One of the great things about Dur- ham is that it’s Durham,” Mr. McNeil said. “One of the great things about Ajax- Pickering is that its Ajax-Pickering.” Mr. McNeil shared the stage and the spotlight with his co-winner -- and good friend -- Phillip (Rocky) Simmons. Dr. Simmons is the chairman of Eco-Tec. Dr. Simmons was the instrumen- tal force behind the technology, de- velopment and launch of Eco-Tec’s innovative products worldwide. He was recognized for his determination in leading the company into the next generation of innovation and market growth. Through the practice of build- ing international trade relations, con- stant attention to creating innovative products and vigilant watch over his company and employees, Dr. Simmons has brought economic and commercial growth to both Eco-Tec and Ontario. In accepting his award, Dr. Simmons thanked the City of Pickering for their continuing support. “We love where we are,” he said. In addition to his award from the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade, Dr. Sim- mons is also the recipient of an award from the Ontario Chamber of Com- merce for business excellence. Other awards included the sixth an- nual Community Leadership Award, presented by the Rotary Club of Pickering, which went to Don Terry from Ontario Power Generation. The Board divides business excel- lence into three categories: companies with one to nine employees, those with 10 to 49, and those with 50 plus employ- ees. The winner for the one to nine cat- egory was Proforma Synergy, a promo- tional products agency. With more than 15 years of experience, the company was recognized for providing business- es with innovative graphic communica- tions ideas, quality results and solutions with outstanding customer service. Binns Kitchen and Bath Design took home the award for the 10 to 49 em- ployee category. The company began in 1957 under the leadership of Joseph and Vera Binns. Today, the company is under the guidance of brothers Ray- mond and Anthony Binns. The judges commended the company for its com- mitment to service, quality and value. For the largest category, the award went to Nelson Industries Inc, which employs approximately 120 people in its Pickering location. The company specializes in the production of preci- sion fabricated metal products. Estab- lished in 1973, the company has its own proprietary lines such as access doors, architectural metals and storage/au- tomotive products that it markets to the construction industry, automotive dealerships and various other commer- cial and industrial markets. Diana Hills-Milligan, president of the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade, said the high quality of nominees the board re- ceives annually is an indication of the quality and customer satisfaction local businesses achieve each year.

FOLLOW ALL OUR BLOGGERS: Visit durhamregion.typepad.com Officer now faces disciplinary hearing By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A Durham po- lice officer’s appeal of his con- viction for assault has been re- jected by Ontario’s top court. A panel of Ontario Court of Appeal judges has ruled that lower courts delivered the cor- rect verdict in the case of Robert Boomhour, who was charged in 2003 with assaulting a family member during a heated argu- ment. Mr. Boomhour, currently suspended without pay by the Durham police service, was convicted in Ontario Court and sentenced to 90 days in jail; a Superior Court judge heard an appeal in Whitby in November 2005 and upheld that convic- tion, but reduced the sentence to 30 days in custody. After hearing arguments earlier this month the Court of Appeal panel upheld the con- viction and revised sentence, rejecting arguments that evi- dence had been misinterpreted and that a judge lent more cre- dence to testimony from the complainant than from Mr. Boomhour. “This was a difficult case from a credibility point of view,” said a written decision from Justices David Doherty, Robert Blair and Edward Then. “There were difficulties with the evidence of both the complainant and the appellant.” Ultimately, the Ontario Court judge accepted the evidence of the victim, the judges wrote. “The reasons he gave for ul- timately finding that the com- plainant was credible and the appellant was incredible all properly arise from the evi- dence,” the judge concluded. Mr. Boomhour now faces a hearing on Police Services Act charges, said a spokesman with Durham police. www.liquidationworld.com Supply and selection will vary by outlet.

The RVHS will be among five hospitals presented with the Ontario Hospital Association’s (OHA) Healthy Hospital Inno- vators Award. The presentation is on Tuesday, Nov. 6 at Health- Achieve 2007, the OHA’s annu- al convention and exhibition at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. The OHA and the National Quality Institute (NQI) give the award to OHA organizations for implementing a comprehen- sive and strategic approach to the development and mainte- nance of a healthy workplace. The RVHS also receives Level One recognition from NQI’s Healthy Workplace Progressive Excellence Program by receiv- ing the award. RVHS president and CEO Rik Ganderton in a press release said the hospital is proud of the honour. “I thank our staff members for their work on this achieve- ment,” he said. “Maintaining a healthy workplace is in keeping with Rouge Valley’s focus on delivering quality health care and being the best at what we do for patients.” Shelley Davie, joint healthy workplace co-ordinator at the RVHS, said in a press release maintaining a healthy work- place has significant impact on recruiting quality health care workers. She also noted studies have shown a healthier work- force delivers better services for patients. RVHS, in conjunction with the Lakeridge Health Network, will host its Healthy Work- place Fairs this week, and will stop at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering, at the east and west entrance hallways on Thurs- day, Oct. 25 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The public is welcome, and exhibitors will cover a va- riety of topics, including mas- sage therapy, yoga meditation and cancer screening.

Most of these are very brief, to the point, replies to or requests for information of some sort. I rarely talk on the phone any- more and frankly, I can’t re- member the last time I hand wrote a letter. Thanks to the Internet and the world of in- stantaneous communication that we live in, I’m probably in contact with more people than ever, but hardly in touch with anyone. As much as I love this high- tech age, (and believe me, when I can have all three of the original Charlie’s Angels on my desktop for free, why wouldn’t I love it?) I’m real- izing there is a price to be paid for all of this speed and ef- ficiency. It seems to me, that as we’ve become experts at shorthand texting and zipping vowel-less, truncated barbs back and forth that are guar- anteed to make us LOL, we are talking more and saying less. We are losing the ability to re- ally connect with one another in meaningful ways. This past weekend I took part in two very important celebrations; my father’s 80th birthday and my son’s 13th. We had a very nice, very fun party for each. People had a good time. And yet, I could not help but feel that in both cases, something was lack- ing. The same thing, actually ...connection. I love my father so much it hurts sometimes. And although he is still hale and quite hearty at 80, I am viscerally aware of the temporality of his presence in my life, of both he and my mother who is equally dear to me. Likewise is my 13-year-old a gift from God to me. Both my boys are. I sometimes look back and wonder what the hell I called that monochromatic, placid existence I lived before I had children. These people are hugely important parts of me. Yet, did I mention that fact to either of them this past weekend? Did I, or anyone else, stop the music, shut off the Leaf game, or the video games long enough to clear my throat, look into their eyes, smile and tell them something as simple as ‘You have made my life immeasurably better simply by your presence in it’? No. I, we did not. I do not mean to say that those sentiments, those emo- tions were not present in the hearts of everyone there, on both occasions. I know they were, in spades. But we have all become so rusty at doing what used to be very easy for us; sincerely communicat- ing our feelings, that we now prefer to keep the volume up, the cake lit and the presents coming. We must keep mov- ing, because if we stop long enough, our throats will begin to close and our eyes to well up because our hearts have something they desperately want to say. I long for the days of heart- felt speeches, sappy toasts and weepy tributes and, having taken myself to task on this issue, I am henceforth com- mitted to keeping ritual and meaningful communication in my celebrations. I would like to think that, many years from now, when my father, mother or any one of the dozens of people who are precious to me in this life, finally passes, that the loss may not be so numb- ingly devastating, as I will have told them on countless occa- sions already, how much I love them.

EDITORIAL CLICK AND SAY IN THE COMMUNITY /4& Clearing up muddle about green bins, blue boxes Region needs to get the word out N o matter how you slice, dice or splice it, diversion has been all the rage in Durham Region over the past few years. And that’s a good thing. Whether it’s concern over what to do when the option to send our garbage to Michigan closes up in a few years or the implemen- tation of green bin and black garbage bags to go along with blue boxes, it would be easy to get confused. We’re all in favour of dealing with our own waste and we want to recycle and compost as much as we possibly can but changing rules and regulations can leave one scratching one’s head. The latest chapter in the drive to cut the amount of garbage we produce and to increase recyclables and compost items is confu- sion surrounding what should go into blue boxes. It turns out some of the things we might have thought were OK for blue boxes in fact belong in the trash. For in- stance, plastic containers like those you purchase berries or muffins in as well as clam shell containers, are not recyclable. And those take-out coffee cups that were thought to be com- postable shouldn’t be put in the blue bin after all. They have a plastic liner in them which doesn’t break down and must be put in the trash bag. Sorting the good (blue box) from the not-so-good (garbage) has been a learning experience for all Durham residents. And it’s been largely successful with more than 50 per cent of waste finding it’s way to the recycling factory or the compost heap rather than to landfill. The push now is to ramp up that diversion rate to as high a num- ber as possible to cut down on the amount that has to be disposed of in less than the green way. Complaints about the lack of information made available to resi- dents are valid. Many people who put out what they thought were perfectly good recyclables in their blue boxes found they weren’t picked up recently. The Region is publishing ads about what can and can’t go in blue boxes and you can find out much more at www.durhamregionwaste.ca. The other big issue is the need by companies to send out goods in packages that can wind up in blue boxes or green bins. We need a push by consumers, governments and business owners to make an effort to be more green. Whether that’s through incentives or customer pressure, the important result is that we have a cleaner, greener society. After all, that’s what we all want. This Week’s Question: What are your feelings about the current crime rate in your municipality? It’s higher It’s lower About the same Cast your vote online at infodurhamregion.com Last Week’s Question: Are you happy the Liberals created Family Day as a statutory holiday in February? Total votes: 436 Yes : 67 % No: 33 % Columnist’s remark was insulting, not funny To the editor: Re: Sept. 19 Neil Crone col- umn. In the seventh paragraph of the column, which is about having a bad day, I was ap- palled to read a reference to Rita MacNeil which said, “Al- though, he began driving like Rita MacNeil on her way to a pig roast.” I was very insulted when I read this. My husband and I know Rita personally and she is loved all over the world. For this man to make a reference to her in such an obviously demeaning way is outrageous and not in the least bit humorous. Many people in this world have a great difficulty with their weight for a number of reasons and many of them are medical. Rita is very loving and generous person who has spent her life helping others and entertaining them. To use her name in this manner is wrong. Not only is it extremely insulting to her but it’s also totally unnecessary. I am sure that Mr. Crone, if he had a physical problem, would not appreciate someone making reference to it in a newspaper in such an insulting way. If an article cannot be writ- ten without insulting other people’s physical problems, especially someone who is as well-known and loved as Rita MacNeil, then the story is not worth the paper that it is writ- ten on. Joseph and Valerie Burke Pickering Wallet lost and returned, with a twist To the editor: On Aug. 28 I had the misfor- tune of losing my wallet. With- in two hours and after contact- ing credit card companies it became evident that my card had been fraudulently used. Thus began the long process of cancelling not only my credit cards but also government cards, health card, birth certif- icate, etc. It was indeed quite a surprise to find on Aug. 30, my wallet had been left between my front doors. Although I had been victim- ized by someone, they left a note of apology and monies to cover the cash and their mis- use of my credit cards. This was indeed a nice albeit un- usual gesture and I very much appreciated receiving my wal- let with all my personal cards and photos back. Judging by the apology letter left it seems the person re- sponsible for the crime was in- fluenced by a friend to use the cards. Her fiancee, however, when finding out what she had done, advised her to try and make things right. Fortunately, for her and for me, she took the advice of her fiancee. I hope she was sincere when she said she had learned her lesson, because being young she has a long life ahead of her and certainly doesn’t need any black marks against her. Finally to her fiancee. It is nice to know that there are honest people in the world. Hats off to you!

Central East f orum brings common issues and problems to light By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Congestion is an issue all eight hos- pitals in the Central East area face, and a local health integration network is working hard to find some solutions. Last Wednesday, the Central East Local Health Integration Network (CE LHIN) held a meeting in Courtice for administrative and clinical leaders from its eight hospitals, including Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering and Lakeridge Health, to discuss shared financial and operational pressures. Nizar Ladak, senior director of performance, con- tracts and allocation for the CE LHIN, said in the past, individual hospitals met with the ministry of health to discuss plans one-on-one, but the LHINs suggested getting everyone together to find com- mon issues. He explained the meeting was not to simply find solutions, but more to find common ground and determine if there are collective solu- tions they could work together on. “In that regard it was a positive meeting,” he said. “People were forthcoming with some of their chal- lenges.” The meeting helped identify two umbrella items common among the hospitals: congestion and fac- tors beyond inflation. Mr. Ladak said congestion creates problems for emergency room patients when beds throughout the hospital are in use by people awaiting long-term care placement. “As a result of those people occupying the beds, it’s creating pressures within the emergency depart- ment because they have no beds to admit some of these patients,” he said. The other area, factors beyond inflation, includes pressures such as compensation for physicians and the cost of information systems. Mr. Ladak found none of the items are unique to one hospital. The LHIN created a three-year, integrated health services strategic plan last year, which included input from volunteers, community residents and health care providers. Mr. Ladak was pleased to see the issues raised are ones the LHIN task groups are already targeting. “There wasn’t anything that was brought forward yesterday during that meeting that we hadn’t al- ready heard about and had put some action in place to start to address,” he said. Ontario hospitals are currently preparing hos- pital annual planning submissions (HAPS), which will look at service planning, measurement and evaluation of health services and organization per- formances. They’ll be submitted in late November to help develop the Health Services Accountability Agreements, which forms the multi-year funding and planning framework. Hospitals must also pres- ent the HAPS to residents by the deadline. Mr. Ladak hopes the meetings will be held quar- terly to keep up-to-date on the issues.

Panther goalie stops Attack in tracks Tiller’s fighters punch up golden results Ajax club competes at Arnie Boehm novice event in St. Catharines AJAX— Tiller’s Boxing Club fight- ers powered their way to three gold medals at the Arnie Boehm Novice Boxing Tournament in St. Catharines last weekend. The club sent six fighters to the St. Catharines ring, with three return- ing with gold medals. Each of the six boxers had one fight apiece at the Arnie Boehm event. Ahmed Abdulla ‘AK47’ Karatella captured gold in the 50-kilogram weight class, defeating Cedric Panna of the Fighting Alliance of Missis- sauga 30-16 on points. Meanwhile, Sherhea ‘Sugar Ray’ Serieaux punched his way to gold in the 57-kilogram weight class after coming back strong in the final round to defeat Joe Ashkhan of the Brama- lea Boxing Club 18-13 on points. Se- rieaux was down two points entering the final round, rallying to beat his opponent by five points. The third gold medal went to Me- linda ‘The Whip’ Watpool who won her fourth consecutive fight after tagging a second round RSC (referee stopped contest) on Iryna Helgatova of the Fighting Alliance Boxing Club of Mississauga in a super heavy- weight division 86-kilogram bout. Shawn ‘The Baby Bull’ Wallis, who made his boxing debut, was defeat- ed by Hamid Rahmani of Toronto’s Atlas Club in a second-round RSC in the 64-kilogram bout.

Meanwhile, Stephen ‘Shark Boy’ Ochotta was defeated in a first- round RSC by Januci Matysiak of Mississauga’s Fighting Alliance in an 86-kilogram weight class bout. It was the first ring encounter for Ochotta, while Matysiak had had six prior bouts. Several Tiller’s Boxing Club fight- ers will compete at the upcoming Steeltown Boxing Club card on Oct. 27.

Pickering wins twice on weekend By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The Pickering Pan- thers are getting their house in order, especially from a defensive standpoint. That was in evidence Sunday after- noon against the rival Ajax Attack, with the Panthers’ new goaltending acqui- sition, Brandon Potterzay, an erstwhile member of the Aurora Tigers, coming to the fore once again. The Panthers hung a 4-1 loss on the Attack in OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League action at the Ajax Community Centre. The Panthers vic- tory evened the six-game season series between the neighbouring teams at one game apiece. For the Panthers (5-10-0), it was the second win in a row, having beaten the North York Rangers 4-2 at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday night. For the Attack (5-11-0), it was the second loss in a row since the club parted way with former head coach John Winder last week. Moreover, Sunday’s victory lifted the Panthers into a seventh-place tie in the league’s South Conference standings with the Ajax Attack. The Panthers jumped on the Attack right from the start, scoring three first- period markers and then playing well defensively to thwart any potential Ajax uprisings.

Most of all, the Panthers continued to receive a lift from the goaltending of Potterzay, who stopped 23 Ajax shots to record his second win in three starts for Pickering. His only blemish Sunday af- ternoon was a 5-on-3 power-play goal off the stick of Ajax forward John Harrington at the midway point of the second pe- riod. Panthers’ head coach Mark Joslin is overjoyed with the consistency Poder- zay, along with backup Terrance Reid, has brought to the position since joining the club. The Panthers changed the goal- tending tandem recently, releasing previ- ous goalkeepers Connor Sampson and Ben Calma, and bringing in Potterzay from Aurora for future considerations, and Reid, who had played at the univer- sity level with the U. of Toronto Varsity Blues. “We’re happy with the changes we’ve made,” Joslin declared. “They’re making a big difference so far.” As well, Panthers’ forwards Chad Beal, who was returned to Pickering from the Ontario Hockey League’s London Knights, and newcomer Guy Carteciano, who recently cleared OHL waivers after a stint with the Owen Sound Attack, put their stamps on Sunday’s contest. Beal registered three assists, while Car- teciano recorded two assists to go with an empty-net marker with 29 seconds remaining. Carteciano has impressed Joslin since making his debut with the Panthers Fri- day against North York. “He’s a player who doesn’t mind tak- ing a hit to make a play,” says Joslin. “He’s a great addition for us.” Meanwhile, the Ajax Attack is also get- ting its house in order, with the team still in the market for a new head coach. Fill- ing the void in the interim are assistants Trevor Nkiwane and TJ Hill. Both coaches weren’t happy with the team’s energy from the get-go Sunday. “We were disappointed with the way we came out. Pickering was more pre- pared to compete at the beginning of the game,” noted Nkiwane. The coaching tandem was also dis- pleased with the Attack forwards unwill- ingness to go to the net to create scoring chances. “It’s something we’ve always been preaching,” says Hill, “guys driving the net and looking for rebounds. Right now we’re struggling to score. The only way you’re going to score is to drive the net.” Both coaches note the coaching tran- sition the club’s in the midst of hasn’t been detrimental to the club’s play. “I don’t think a lot has changed,” says Hill. “We’re running the same systems. But, definitely, any time there’s a shake- up, the effect is either positive or nega- tive. As far as the system’s go, nothing’s changed.” The Panthers return to action Friday in Toronto against the St. Michael’s Buzz- ers. The Panthers host the Buzzers at the complex on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Meanwhile, the Attack play two games on home ice this weekend, hosting the North York Rangers at the community centre on Saturday at 3 p.m. The Vaughan Vipers are in town on Sunday at 3 p.m. SCORING SUMMARY Panthers at Attack, Sunday, Oct. 21 Period 1 Pickering - Jamie MacQueen (PP) (Guy Carteciano, Chad Beal) 6:56 Pickering - Andy Andreoff (Beal, Carte- ciano) 12:09 Pickering - Brad Fleishman (Andrew Howes) 16:11 Period 2 Ajax - John Harrington (PP) (Paul Chias- son, Adam Place) 9:44 Period 3 Pickering - Carteciano (EN) (Beal) 19:31 Ringette Register Today Ajax & Pickering Ringette Associations For more information: (905) 420-4337 or (905) 427-2594 Ringette - the fastest game on ice...

PAGE B3 ◆ NEWS A DVERTISER ◆ October 24, 2007 A/P PICKERING — The Pickering Pan- thers major bantam ‘AA’ rep hockey team feasted on its foes to capture the Toronto Avalanche Thanksgiving Chal- lenge Hockey Tournament recently. The Panthers advanced all the way to the final where they met a formidable opponent in the Mississauga Hornets. Following an epic battle, the Pickering bantams emerged victorious 3-2. The Panthers took a 1-0 lead late in the first period on a goal by Jordan Kotsopoulos, assisted by Karl Muel- ler. They then extended the lead to 2–0 early in the second period on Tyler Traill’s marker, assisted by Derek Luen- ing. Mississauga stormed back to tie it with two goals late in the second and midway through the third period. With two minutes remaining and after relentless pressure, the Panthers scored the winner on Traill’s shot, assisted by Mueller. Traill was named as the final’s most valuable player for his outstanding two- way play. The Panthers faced the host Toronto Avalanche in the semifinal and posted a heart-stopping come-from-behind 4–3 overtime victory. Trailing 2–0 late in the second period, the Panthers began to gain momentum with goals scored by Traill, assisted by Joe Doherty and Luening, and tied it on call-up Tyler Tilford’s point shot, assist- ed by Patrick Simmonds and Kotsopou- los. The Panthers took the lead midway through the third on Adam Watson’s goal, assisted by Traill and Luening. A late third-period Avalanche goal, how- ever, sent the game to overtime. The Panthers dominated the overtime with several scoring chances and then, fi- nally, at the 2:21 mark Taylor Hunter’s booming point shot caught the top cor- ner and the Panthers went into celebra- tion. Mueller and Kotsopoulos earned assists on the game winner. The Panthers finished first in the round robin with an undefeated 4-0 record. The Panthers allowed only five goals in the round robin as goalies Tra- vis Meier and Nathan Grant combined with some stellar team defence. The defence corps of Adam Berk, Matt Farrell, Nathaniel Hargraves, Tay- lor Hunter, Cody Malloy and affiliated player Tyler Tilford were rock solid con- trolling the Panthers end of the ice. Meanwhile, forwards Doherty, Mi- chael Eccleston, Kotsopoulos, Luening, Mueller, Simmonds, Traill and Watson constantly frustrated their opponents by playing relentless, textbook, two-way hockey. In goal Travis Meier and affiliated player Nathan Grant made solid contri- butions. Three regulars Dylan Higgins, Kirk Thomas and David Thompson were unable to play. The major bantam ‘AA’ Panthers trav- el to Europe on Dec. 28 for a two-week excursion that will see the squad in Budapest, Vienna, Salzburg, Munich, Cesky Krumlov and Prague.

Frenchman’s Bay captures school division title at Toronto Marathon PICKERING — For the second time in as many years, a student running team from Frenchman’s Bay Public School captured the school division title at the Toronto Marathon last weekend. The student team from the Pickering school placed first in the school divi- sion and seventh overall out of 97 teams in the corporate relay with a time of three hours, 11 minutes and 16 seconds. The time was an amazing 17 minutes faster than last year’s time, which Frenchman’s Bay also won. Members of the student team were Maxine Cudlip, Kim Goode, Michau Perreria, Dustin Giglio, Stefan Lam- mana, Dominque Bond Flasza, Nick Servos and Craig Harris Lowe. The alternate was Cassie Sandford. In addition to the students, French- man’s Bay Public School teachers also formed a team, which finished 34th overall in a time of 3:39.47. Members of the teachers’ team were Chris Wil- liamson, Paul Miller, Courtney Tyo, Adam Pelton, Sophie Conner, Me- laine Doria, Tanya Morton and Sarah Furan. The Frenchman’s Bay teams trav- elled to Toronto for the Race Expo on Friday night where they met legend- ary marathoner Kathrine Switzer. In 1967 at age 20, Switzer was the first woman to run the Boston Marathon wearing official numbers. The student marathoners were truly inspired by her story. At the end of the marathon, Switzer presented the Frenchman’s Bay stu- dent team its trophy for capturing the student division title. Toronto Marathon organizer Jay Glassman will make the trip to Pickering to present the trophy to the team at a school assembly in the up- coming weeks. Pickering school runners repeat winners DURHAM — Although it was tech- nically a neutral-site game for the Richmond Hill Lightning, Saturday’s National Ringette League game at Oshawa’s Legends Centre sure felt like a home date for the strong con- tingent of Durham talent on the team. The Lightning didn’t disap- point, either, prevailing 5-4 over the Gloucester Devils on a late goal by Ajax’s Elyssa Jasper. Gloucester was first off the mark, but Karen McWilliams tied the game on a pass from Jasper and a fol- low-up goal by Amanda Curry from Megan Campbell gave the Lightning the lead. The scoring bounced back and forth with the Lightning’s third goal coming from Curry to Jasper and the fourth by Pickering’s Beth Hur- ren from Stef McArdle and Lianne Davies. Jasper scored her second goal on a pass from McWilliams and Karen Duguay to give Richmond Hill a 5-4 win. The Lightning went on to face Ot- tawa Ice for two games on Sunday. After winning the first game 5-4 in the league’s first shootout, Richmond Hill dropped the second game 3-2 on a late Ottawa tally. Findlay scored twice, while Hurren and McArdle scored the others for the Lightning in the victory. Hurren scored again in the shootout, while Lindsay McGill made three tremen- dous stops fending off the Ottawa sharpshooters. Davies and McArdle scored in de- feat, with assists to from McWilliams, Curry and Sophie Goguen.

From the pen of Canadian playwright David French, the play follows a woman’s recollec- tions of a summer vacation spent as a teenager on Willow Beach on the cottage-country lake. Those memories emanate from Margaret Ryan, the middle-aged main character who returns from Vermont to Wolf Lake with her grand- daughter. And, upon returning to the lake after a 32-year absence, those old memories return in pristine form for Margaret, played by Ajax actress Fran Stecyk, who not only portrays the principal char- acter, but is also the narrator. ‘That Summer’ debuts on Thursday, Nov. 1 and continues on a three-week run at the Pickering Village theatre. There’s one matinee performance scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 4. Since first reading the script during the audi- tion process, Stecyk’s been a fan of the play, as it allows the audience to follow the past and pres- ent of the main character through her summer of love. And, to Stecyk, the play evokes that emotional touchstone of a first love, something everyone can relate to. “It’s a beautiful play,” she says. “I had never read it previous to the audition. I was in tears the first time I read the play. It really strikes close to your heart.” It’s the first time for Stecyk in a StoneCircle production, making her debut in a play she notes is one of the most challenging in her ca- reer of treading the boards at local theatres. She admits she knew little of the theatre group until seeing one of its productions several years ago. “I went to see one of their performances a couple of years ago called ‘Orphans’ and I was really impressed with it. A friend of mine was in it and we actors like to support each other. They had auditions for this season by invitation only. I was invited, I auditioned and they gave me the role,” she says, adding she’s been in rehearsals with the other cast members since September. The play is a challenging one, notes Stecyk, not only because of the breadth and depth of the character she plays, but also for the sheer amount of dialogue and stage time she receives in the play. In fact, she’s on the stage for almost the entire play. “The more I work on it, the more I discover about it,” explains Stecyk of the demanding role. “It was tapping into my personal memories as well. You bring all of that, everything you’ve lived in life, you bring it to the role.” The play also affords Stecyk the chance to work with StoneCircle artistic director Ken Bond, who’s doing double duty as the director of ‘That Summer’. “He’s amazing,” Stecyk says. “You can tell he’s worked on this play a lot. Every director has their own individual style. Ken is someone who wants you to create your own character. He just pulls from everyone, challenges everyone.” Stecyk notes she’s surrounded by a strong cast, including Alyssa Mariano, who plays “mini me” or Margaret Ryan at age 17, and another longtime local actress, Heather Warkentin, who plays Mrs. Crump, a neighbour. The StoneCircle Theatre is at 22 Sherwood Rd. W. in Pickering Village (Ajax), near Church Street and Kingston Road.

His laugh, sense of humor, loving nature, and zest for life will be locked in our hearts forever. Predeceased by parents Howard and Katharine McMann and sister Linda. Dearly missed by wife Valerie. Loving father of Ryan (Stacey) and Robert (Helena). Proud grandfather of Jackson, Luke, Maryn, who were his pride and joy. Beloved brother of Leigh (Edmond) Beauchamp and Uncle of Albert Beauchamp. Dear son-in-law of Don and the late Lois Burden. Fred's life work was in advertising. He leaves many friends behind from Thomson Newspapers and Metroland, especially in his last years at the Oshawa This Week. A special heartfelt thanks to Durham Police and Ambulance Attendants (especially Frank) and the fire fighters, who all tried to bring my husband back. We would like to thank Dr. Noble (who was always there for us), Dr. Eisenstat (Oshawa Lakeridge Health CCU), Dr. Moe (St. Michaels), Dr. Coutu, Dr. John and Dr. Long. A special thank you to all the renal doctors, Dr. Steele, Dr. Weis and Dr. Birbrager and all the staff at Lakeridge Health Whitby. Heartful thanks to nurses Tracey Burton and Tina Regular, who looked after Fred for four years during his dialysis and most recently Home Care Nurse Nona. A special thank you to the nurses on 3F who took care of Fred in his final hours. The Whitby Renal Clinic was able to set Fred up at home for dialysis 5 days a week. Fred's wish was to be cremated and a private service was held on October 24th in Port Hope. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to ARMSTRONG FUNERAL HOME, 124 King Street East, Oshawa, 905-433-4711. In memory of Fred, donations to Lakeridge Health Whitby Foundation (designated for home dialysis patients) would be appreciated.
