Jody Schmidt said she was with Eugene “Dwayne” Moses and several other friends at the Durham College bar early on April 3, 2004, when the group was intruded upon by two men who walked up and appeared to inten- tionally bump them. Within moments, she testified Tuesday, Mr. Moses was face to face with one of the men and as she turned away, shots rang out. “I just had this feeling something bad was going to happen,” Ms. Schmidt said, beginning to cry as she answered questions posed by prosecutor John Scott. “I thought, ‘Is he going for a gun?’ “As I was turning I saw a flash and that’s when I heard the first shot go By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX — The operators of an emer- gency shelter for youths want to be “good neighbours.” Durham Youth Housing and Sup- ports Services is opening the 10-bed facility at 82 Kings Cres. in Ajax, to provide shelter for youths ages 16 to 24 from across Durham Region. “We really want to be good neigh- bours. I understand neighbours have concerns, but we want to be good neighbours, to be part of the commu- nity. They’re not our children, they’re everybody’s children,” says DYHSS ex- ecutive director Mary Dunlop. “Nobody is mandated to stay here. Kids will come here by choice because they have no other place to live,” she says. The Ajax property was selected be- cause of its “proximity to other youth serving agencies in the community, like The Youth Centre, the John How- ard Society, Pinewood (Centre), DO’C (Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School) and Ajax High School. There’s a bus stop in front of the door,” Ms. Dunlop notes. “We looked for a very long time before we actually set- tled on this house.” Geoff Romanowski, a senior plan- ner with the Town, says the shelter “is a permitted use within the zoning bylaw” and council approval isn’t re- quired. DYHSS needed site plan approval and building permit, which was issued on Thursday, he adds. An open house for people living near the site was held last week and that was done to “keep the neighbourhood appraised,” he notes. “They’ve gone above and beyond the requirements to ensure they’re doing everything by the book.” The group wants the shelter open by December, Ms. Dunlop states. Youths 16 and 17 “are required to be in school.

Coun. Johnson and Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley recently put forward a motion to Pickering City Council that advises: that no residen- tial building permits be issued north of Taunton Road in Seaton until the Province disposes of at least 50 per cent of its employment lands along Hwy. 407 for purposes of employment; and that residential permits in Seaton on the lands only be released on the basis of one dwelling unit for every 45 square metres of industrial or com- mercial floor area developed. “The benefits of Seaton coming on stream is the fact that there are em- ployment lands available, they are along the 407 corridor and we feel we have a really good opportunity not to build houses there, but to create jobs,” Coun. Johnson said. “We need a community we can work and live in, not one you have to com- mute to.” Council approved the motion, which was then forwarded to the Province.

They have to be doing something to move themselves forward,” she says. Ms. Dunlop is aware of the apprehension of having such a facility in the neighbourhood. “Absolutely. That’s why I’ve been around personally and spoken to many of the neigh- bours and the Town held an open house. People came to ask questions. After that, peo- ple who had concerns weren’t as concerned after they asked questions.” She notes one rumour going around was the facility would be a “halfway house for 22 men who had burned down the last home they lived at.” That, she notes, is not the case. There will be staff on site at all times. “A young person could show up at any hour of the day or night. That’s the nature of an emergency shelter, they come when they need.” There’s no maximum time a youth could stay there, but “we, the Durham Youth Housing and Support Services, aren’t the decision makers. We oper- ate under the Regional hostel services standards.” Youth will also have to com- ply with Ontario Works regula- tions. “If they’re not doing the things expected of them, On- tario Works or the social ser- vices of the Region will say they have a couple of days to get out of there because they’re not doing what they need to do to move forward. The decision will be made by our funders,” Ms. Dunlop says. The Ministry of Community and Social Services provides 80 per cent of the facility’s fund- ing, with the Region the re- maining 20 per cent. She adds the “money will flow through the Region.” DYHSS hopes to eventually open a 50-bed transitional fa- cility, in which tenants would pay rent. There would also be the 10-bed emergency shelter and a 10-bed long-term sup- portive home for “youth who needed extra support.” The idea, she says, is to “start small and gain a track record of excellence, so when we go fundraising, people won’t say ‘Oh, who are you?’” The need for the 10-bed fa- cility is “desperate. There’s no youth shelter anywhere in Durham Region. There’s been a need for a very long time. We’ll be serving all of Durham Region, not just particularly Ajax. Ajax is where we located a property,” Ms. Dunlop notes. The shelter will only have 10 youths at a time. If more show up, other spaces elsewhere will have to be found, she says. “We won’t have the facilities for them. We’ll assist them and di- rect them. We won’t say ‘sorry, we’re full.’ We’ll assist with transportation.” off.” Ms. Schmidt was testifying at the trial of Neven Belic, who is charged with second-de- gree murder in the death of the 21-year-old Mr. Moses. The Toronto man is also charged with aggravated assault in the wounding of two other men. Mr. Moses, a graduate of Durham College, died after being shot in the chest at E.P. Taylor’s, where he had gathered with friends on a night the col- lege held an athletic banquet and was hosting a live-to-air broadcast by a radio station. Ms. Schmidt said she, Mr. Moses and some other friends were gathered in a circle when two men, one wearing a bas- ketball jersey, walked through the group, the man in the jer- sey bumping into Mr. Moses. It appeared the bump was in- tentional, as the bar was not crowded and the men could easily have walked around the group, Ms. Schmidt said. The man in the jersey walked off after exchanging a few words with Mr. Moses, but returned moments later. The two men were toe-to-toe when Ms. Schmidt said the man in the jersey reached toward his waist. Moments later, she heard “three or four” gunshots and the pub erupted in “chaos.” Ms. Schmidt acknowledged under cross examination that she didn’t see a gun. The Crown alleges Mr. Belic was the shooter and that he ran from the pub with friends, jumping into a limousine they’d taken to the college and fleeing to Scarborough. The Crown al- leges Mr. Belic escaped from the limo and ran off with the murder weapon, a semi-auto- matic 9-mm pistol, when the car was stopped by police. He was arrested several months after the murder. Ms. Schmidt was the second witness to recount how young men strode into the pub, ap- pearing to walk intentionally into patrons gathered there. Pub business manager Kelly Morrison said she watched the man in the jersey stride into a young man. “When he bumped the per- son he had a smirk on his face -- like it was intentional,” Ms. Morrison said. “They squared off and went face to face.” That situation was defused when the young man’s pals pulled him away and the ag- gressor left, Ms. Morrison said. The trial, before Superior Court Justice Bruce Glass and a jury, continues.

Boundary change survey results Thursday By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Not all Claremont par- ents support sending their kids to Ux- bridge Secondary School instead of J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate, said one father on Monday. Currently, J. Clarke is the desig- nated high school for students from Claremont Public School. The Dur- ham District School Board sent out a survey to parents in September ask- ing if they supported changing that to Uxbridge Secondary School. The results and the board’s options will be discussed at a public meet- ing at Claremont Public School on Thursday, Nov. 8, starting at 7 p.m. Last month, parents supporting the boundary change addressed the board. Gerry Thomson said he was at that meeting, but didn’t have a chance to speak because the agenda was full. Instead, the Claremont resident had his say this Monday at the board’s standing committee meeting. “I represent what is perhaps a smaller group of parents that are in support of continuing to send our children to J. Clarke Richardson,” he said. Mr. Thomson said the survey was premature and many parents feel there wasn’t enough information to make an informed response. “Rumours about J. Clare (that) were circulated in Claremont were both exaggerated and unfounded,” he said. Mr. Thomson’s oldest son is a J. Clarke graduate, his middle son is in Grade 12 at the school and his daugh- ter is a Grade 8 student at Claremont Public School. He said he’s contacted the super- intendant and asked if there’s a sig- nificant difference in incidences of violence at the two schools, but that information was not available. In- stead, he spoke from personal experi- ence. “I have talked to my two sons about their perception of violence at their school,” he said. “They never felt threatened or frightened. They met new friends and their view of the world we live in was broadened.” Mr. Thomson said the diversity at J. Clarke has enriched his children’s’ educations, as have cultural programs such as the music program. His sons were also enrolled in the school’s unique laptop program. Mr. Thomson has served on the School Community Council and said he understands the budgeting chal- lenges faced by the board. “Busing represents a huge draw on budget dollars. If varying special interest groups are catered to, other schools will look at this as a prec- edent.” 20 m in u t es t o OSHAW A TORONT O FAI RAL L ST .WESTNE Y R D.

The poppy and its association with those who were killed dates back to the Napoleonic Wars of the 19th Century, over 110 years before being adopted by Canada. On 5 July 1921 the poppy was offi cially adopted as its fl ower of remembrance by the Great War Veterans Association in Canada. The poppies that are worn in Canada today were fi rst made in 1922, by disabled veterans under the sponsorship of the Department of Soldiers Civil Re-establishment. This tradition continued until 1996 when Dominion Command of The Royal Canadian Legion awarded production of this contract to a private company. The very fi rst Remembrance Day service was held in 1919 throughout the commonwealth and was originally called Armistice Day. This day commemorated the end of the First World War.

Unit 21, Ajax • 905-428-8353 “Thank you for your bravery” As the years go by, generation after generation forgets why we re- member the lives lost during confl ict. Author Heather Robertson said in her book A Terrible Beauty: The Art of Canada at War that if we do not remember, the sacrifi ce of the 100,000 Canadian soldiers will be meaningless. War, for our generation has been seen through our television screens — and leaves us disconnected. Canadian soldiers have been sent around the world to act as peacekeepers, to rebuild nations, to restore order. These soldiers act to protect the interests of Canada, our freedom, our principles yet they risk their lives every day. This Remembrance Day, although war and confl ict may be far re- moved from your daily lives, pause to commemorate those who have made the ultimate sacrifi ce for us. Don your poppy on your lapel as a symbol of remembrance and hope. They are reminders of those who died as well as the peace they fought to achieve.

Shooting of dogs a tragedy but understandable A recent news item fea- tured the tragic story of an Uxbridge couple mourning the loss of their two golden retrievers. The dogs had been shot by a local farmer who found them on his property. My initial reaction to this story was the same shared by most of us who love our dogs. I was horrified and angered that any thinking person would shoot any tame, domesticated dogs, let alone goldens, the Mother Teresas of the dog world. Why did he have to shoot them? Couldn’t he have just shooed them away? Why the quan- tum leap to live ammunition? Whatever happened to com- munication? These questions and more were swirling around like autumn leaves in my city- guy, suburban head. It took my farm-girl wife, as it almost always does, to give me a little clarity on the subject. We forget, those of us who move up here to this beautiful place, that we are the newcom- ers, that there are people here called farmers who, while they love the countryside and the beauty it brings, also have a very real, vested and critical business interest in it. They have hundreds of thou- sands, sometimes millions of usually borrowed dollars tied up in those cows, horses, chick- ens and pigs we love to look at through our car windows. They see animals and livestock and yes, dogs, in a different way from many of us. Not a better or worse way, but a different way. Neither are they heartless mercenaries when it comes to their animals. I’ve yet to meet a farmer who didn’t have a very real, very powerful attachment to his charges. Still, a couple of golden retrievers playful- ly chasing a calf or horse or whatever is no slight matter for them. If one of those harried ani- mals stumbles or trips or cuts itself on wire, it is either ruined or a very expensive inconve- nience for a farmer. That’s bad for business. And make no mis- take, when your animals tres- pass onto a working farm they may as well be wandering into the TD Centre and chewing up files... it’s a business. Having said all of this, my heart breaks for this couple. No one loves dogs more than I. I’ve always had at least one and usually a couple of them around. To me they represent everything noble and good in this world. They are loyal, un- conditionally loving, remark- ably sentient companions. I credit a good deal of my heal- ing from cancer to a four- legged pal who literally would not leave my side for the eight or nine months of my illness and treatment. I like almost every dog I’ve ever met. I can’t, unfortunately, say the same for all the humans I’ve come across. For all of those reasons and a hundred more, I take enor- mous pains to look after my dogs. I obedience train my puppies extensively. I condi- tion them socially and I build good fences. I do these things not to protect other people from my dogs, but to protect my dogs from other people. I owe this to them. I am respon- sible for them. In the midst of their pain and perhaps in an effort to make some kind of sense of their pet’s deaths, this couple is pushing for a change to the Livestock Protection Act, the same law that allows a farmer to use lethal force in protecting his investment. I don’t think the law needs changing. I think the lesson here is a sadly pain- ful but obvious one and one the farmers have understood for a long time. Look after your animals.

While we’ve long expected those first three aspects of fall to come each year, the flu shot is a fairly recent innovation. But it’s among the most important things you can do for yourself. And, it’s free of charge (though we do pay the cost of it through our tax dollars). The flu shot program became necessary when, back in the late 1990s, the Province noticed the massive hit our economy and health care system took by those struck down by the flu. Our urgent care clinics and emergency wards were swamped by those suffering from the flu and absenteeism from the workplace cost the Ontario economy billions of dollars. The response was to spend a little to save a lot: an ounce of pre- vention for a pound of cure, as it were. The flu-shot program is widely publicized and available for all those with a health card across Ontario. It can be accessed in a wide variety of ways: through an appointment with your physician or by going to one of many flu vaccination clinics near where you live or work. Check with your local health department for the times and loca- tions of flu shot clinics in your neighbourhood. There are plenty of options to get a vaccination at time which is convenient for your. The flu shot is most critical for the extremely young and the el- derly. If you are under 12 (but over 6 months) and over 65, the flu shot is highly recommended. But all are encouraged to get it. Even if you’re not as worried about getting the flu yourself, it’s important you get immunized to lessen the chance you’ll pass it on to a family member or a co-worker. So make plans to get the needle soon. Even if you do get the flu, your chances of recovery are much better if you’ve had the shot. You’ll be doing your part to help stem the wave of seasonal influenza which can play havoc with our population. -- Metroland Durham Region Media Group This Week’s Question: Do you plan to get a flu shot this fall?

A recent trip past our local high school at dismissal was an eye-opener: various groups of students, invariably all white or black. Outside the school was the same scenario: all white or black clusters. Division currently exists; I saw only the most obvi- ous and visible. School funding is on a per capita basis. Each facility under faith-based funding would re- ceive funding in proportion to enrolment. How is that more costly? It’s possible that in many faith- based schools smaller classes would necessitate split grades. This was not a problem in one- room schoolhouses and is not necessarily a bad thing today. Handled properly, it could en- courage mentoring, tutoring. I strongly disagree with Mr. Baird’s assumption that propo- nents of faith-based schools are of minority religious groups. We belong to a main line denomi- nation and would love to send our children to a good Christian school, an option beyond our means. Love the comment that gov- ernment and church should re- main separate. Mr. Baird would do well to study history. Our school system was established as a direct result of the belief that every individual should have the opportunity to study the Bible themselves and must therefore be able to read. Fur- thermore, our whole judicial and political systems and freedoms are founded on Judeo-Christian principles. What are Canadian values, Mr. Baird? And once you have them listed, go back and es- tablish the background of each. The words “religion,” “morality” and “knowledge” each referred to Christianity, Christian charac- ter and a biblical world view, re- spectively, at the time public ed- ucation was enacted. So I agree; we need to stand up for Cana- dian values. Trouble is, those are Judeo-Christian values, which puts us back to square one. The erosion of our Canadian culture is a result of the multi- cultural policy coupled with our Charter of Rights. Nancy Logan Pickering Let’s push hard for more diversion To the editor: Re: Clearing up muddle about green bins, blue boxes, editorial, Oct. 24. The editorial about the confusion regarding what is placed in our blue boxes missed the larger issue which is not what can or cannot go into the bin. Why so few items are ac- cepted as recycled materials should be giving people cause to scratch their heads. Contrary to your editorial, most of those plastic muf- fin/berry/etc., containers are recyclable -- our Region just opts to not collect them. If we are as serious about waste diversion as we state we are, perhaps we need to expand what we recycle. This seems much more logical than burning or bury- ing recyclable materials and would likely eliminate the need for an incinerator. The Region will claim there is not enough demand for these recycled materials, which may have merit in a short-term view of waste man- agement. However, if we start feeding these materials into the belly of an incinerator, the only chance we have to increase diversion will have gone up in smoke.

Durham ready for influenza pandemic when, not if, it strikes By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — If an influenza pan- demic struck Durham Region, it would take much more than the heath de- partment and hospitals to keep things running smoothly. On Thursday, more than 280 people representing 50 local organizations gathered at Oshawa’s Jubilee Pavil- ion for a preparedness exercise called “Pandemonium.” Participants ranged from school boards and retirement homes, to util- ity companies and GO Transit. “It goes beyond health care to things like industry,” said Dr. Robert Kyle, the Region’s medical officer of health. “What if an industry with essential goods or services was affected by ab- senteeism? They would need a plan in place to continue operating, es- pecially if it was something like heat or hydro.” The exercise, which was or- ganized by the Durham Emergency Management Office (DEMO) and the Durham Region Health Department, presented the group with two scenar- ios: an early one in which a pandemic has been identified in East Asia and is spreading among humans and a later one in which it has become a pan- demic and spread to Canada. Participants discussed challenges their organizations might encounter -- such as the Region’s medical officer of health falling ill -- and came up with possible solutions. In that particular case, it was suggested expertise could be borrowed from a neighbouring re- gion or the Province. Influenza is a serious respiratory ill- ness caused by influence A virus or in- fluenza B virus. A worldwide outbreak occurs when a new type of virus de- velops that humans have no immunity against. There have been three pandemics in the last century, with the most serious being the Spanish flu outbreak in 1918 and 1919, which caused 20 to 40 mil- lion deaths worldwide. According to Ivan Ciuciura, the Re- gion’s director of emergency manage- ment, a similar event likely isn’t far off. “Medical experts agree it’s a matter of when, not if, we will have another pan- demic,” he said. “But it could still be 10 or 20 years away, we don’t know.” When it happens, Mr. Ciuciura says Durham has two plans that would be carried out simultaneously. The Health Pandemic Plan sets out actions to be carried out by the Health Department, such as clinical surveil- lance, laboratory services and mass immunization clinics. The Region Pandemic Plan provides direction to other regional depart- ments and local municipalities. Based on Durham’s 2006 population of 561,258 people and an attack rate of 35 per cent, officials estimate about 800 people in the Region would die as the result of an influenza pandemic, while 2,816 would require hospitaliza- tion and another 197,638 would be clinically ill. “SARS would be miniscule by com- parison,” Dr. Kyle noted.

But that’s all right for Ronda Franco, teacher of the school-to-work transi- tion program. The class of six has set up a penny drive to raise money for the family of a student in the program. Bryan Nedham’s father, Phil Nedham, was badly burned in a fire when he was working at his shop, Durham RV, in mid-August. After a month in a coma and a month of treatment, he returned home on Oct. 11. However, Mr. Nedham will be out of commission for some time and he didn’t have insurance. His wife, Mar- sha, now has to work two jobs to keep the household on its feet and pay the medical bills. The special-needs students decided to do their part when they read a pre- vious story in the News Advertiser on the tough times the family is facing. “We didn’t realize things were so dif- ficult at home,” Ms. Franco said. She added they were aware the family was struggling, but not to that extent. After one day, the drive raised roughly $50. It will take place during the lunch hour each Monday until Christmas break, when the students plan to present a cheque to the fam- ily. One of the class’s educational assis- tants, Wendy Shimkofsky, got the idea to collect pennies when she heard about the possibility of eliminating the coins in Canada because people simply don’t want them. “It’s a good way to clear off your dresser and get rid of money you won’t really use anyway,” she said. A student in the class, Jordan Clarke, said he thinks it’s important students donate their pennies because “it’s for a good cause and also to cheer a stu- dent up in our class.” Another student, Nathan Gonzalez, said he’s seen the pennies pouring in in a number of ways: in Ziploc bags, yogurt containers, handfuls, rolls and even jewelry boxes. “I think we should keep on trying,” he said. “I think we shouldn’t give up. This is for a student in our class, a family.” Jill Dormiedy decided to drop off so much change that Ms. Franco had to remove the lid when it wouldn’t fit through the penny slot. She’s also made sure to let people know about the drive since chatter- ing usually drowns out the announce- ments. “If I was in that situation, I’d want as much help as I can get,” she said.

The lost lens belonged to Cougars’ power forward Rhea Pascal, becom- ing dislodged after a collision with a Celtics player nearing the midway point of the first quarter in Monday’s Lake Ontario Secondary School Ath- letics (LOSSA) ‘AAAA’ quarter-final basketball playoff contest at the north Ajax school. After several minutes of searching, the lens was nowhere to be found, like the proverbial needle in the haystack that was the parquet floor of the Cou- gars’ gymnasi- um. Enter Notre Dame principal Mike Bak, who promptly found the small plas- tic cylinder and held it up for all to see. Pascal retired to the bench to rein- troduce the lens to her eye, with the game tied at 2-2 in an unusually low- scoring affair to that point. The delay over and the missing lens mystery solved, the Cougars focused on the task at hand as they promptly went on a 6-0 run with Notre Dame centre Nicholle McKenzie scoring three consecutive baskets for an 8-4 edge, which signalled the Celtics were in for a long afternoon on the court. The Cougars, the top seeds in the West Division, continued their run in the second quarter, scoring 14 unin- terrupted points for a 29-6 half-time lead that ultimately culminated in a thorough 54-18 steamrolling of the Celtics, which entered as the fourth- seeded squad in the East Division. The Cougars now play another Whitby team, the All Saints Catholic Secondary School Titans, in the semi- final at Notre Dame on Monday, Nov. 12 at 2:15 p.m. The Titans knocked off Pickering’s Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas 48-40 in quarter-final playoff action, also on Monday after- noon. Moreover, Monday’s playoff victory kept the Cougars undefeated LOSSA season intact, recording their 11th victory of the season. The team’s over- all record climbs to a sterling 33-2. Cougars’ coach Rose Booker admits the loss of the contact could have meant the loss of top rebounder Pas- cal for the contest as the big forward couldn’t play without it. But, as soon as the lens was found, the Cougars also found their game and were off and running against the Celtics. Booker was also glad to have start- ing point guard Catherine Bougoulias back to full speed as she tweaked an ankle during tournament play at the recent D’Youville tournament in Brampton. The coach also noted her Cougars are firing on all cylinders at the right time, and appear to be peaking for the playoffs. “You know what, I think so, but one thing we’re not going to do, we’re certainly not overlooking anyone in LOSSA. There’s some good teams left in the LOSSA playoffs. It’s going to be a huge job to get through LOSSA,” says Booker. Meanwhile, Celtics’ coach Roxanne Curtis notes Sinclair earned the worst possible playoff draw by matching up with Notre Dame. Her players, how- ever, made the best of it. “We were a little overmatched today. We were in a place where no- body wanted to be in, matched up against Notre Dame in the first round. I did think the kids hung in really well. I thought we gave them a game and that’s all you can ask for.” Curtis noted the game plan was to limit at least one of Notre Dame’s big three (Nicholle McKenzie, Pascal and Shanica Baker) from getting to rebounds and second-chance points, choosing to focus their energies on stopping Pascal. They did manage to slow her down, but not stop the rug- ged forward. “I thought we did a good job on Rhea today. She had 18 points today and we wanted to hold her to 15, so we didn’t do too bad.” Pascal’s 18-point effort, was fol- lowed by McKenzie with 17. Celtics’ Katelyn McConnell and Kelsey Hare each had five. Rhea Pascal Hardwood notes The Cougars defeated the host Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School Wildcats 47-26 in the final of the Oshawa- Whitby This Week Tournament last weekend. Centre Nicholle McKen- zie led the way in the final with 13 points, followed by Shanica Baker with nine and Lindsay Panchan with seven. Megan Savoy had seven for the runner-up Wildcats and Kate Mowat added four...

Panthers blast Durham Fury with big offensive display Rookie Andy Andreoff keys Pickering victory with six-point night By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — It was the ‘Andy and Kevin Show’ on ice at the Pickering Rec- reation Complex on Saturday afternoon. The two Pickering Panthers forwards, Andy Andreoff and Kevin Hudes, were front and centre in the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey Club’s 10-4 pasting of the Durham Fury. Andreoff, in his rookie season with the Panthers, had his most productive game in a Panthers’ uniform, scoring four goals and adding two assists. Meanwhile, Hudes, claimed by the Panthers recently after he cleared Ontar- io Hockey League waivers after starting the season with the Kitchener Rangers, also made his presence felt offensively with a goal and four assists. Put together on a forward line with veteran Jamie MacQueen, the unit im- mediately clicked in Saturday’s game, says Panthers’ head coach Mark Joslin. All told, the forward unit produced 15 points. “We put (Andreoff) with a couple of veterans in Hudes and MacQueen and everything came together,” explains Jos- lin. “It was an incredible effort and a well-deserved result.” Joslin also pointed out Andreoff has been working hard in practice since the start of training camp and was destined for a break-out game. “He’s getting better and better and he’s getting more confidence,” says Joslin of Andreoff, who attended the OHL’s Osha- wa General training camp in September before being sent back to the Panthers. Saturday’s victory broke off a three- game losing streak for the Panthers that, despite the win, still reside in the base- ment of the league’s South Conference, one point back of the Durham Fury and the Ajax Attack, both tied for eighth spot. The Pan- thers also lost on Friday night on home ice, dropping a 6-1 decision to the third- place Vaughan Vipers. Joslin believes, however, the Panthers’ days in the basement will be numbered, once the new players become accus- tomed to one another and once several injured players return to the lineup. Late last week, the Panthers dealt veteran forward Brad Fleishman to the Vaughan Vipers in exchange for 19-year- old Richard Duncan and future consider- ations. Joslin says a change of scenery was needed for Fleishman. “We felt he was in a bit of a rut and a change of scenery would be good for him,” says the coach. The Panthers also picked up former Brampton Capitals forward J.P. Perpich, 20, last week.

The Cougars scored a dominating 47- 25 victory over the Port Perry High School Rebels in Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) playoff quarter-final action at the Ajax school on Monday after- noon. Cougars’ coach Mark VanRhee praised the work of Kadeja Hughes and Rona Tamayo, who carried the team with solid defensive efforts. At the other end of the court, Tamayo hit several clutch field goals in the first half, leading to a game- high 14 points. VanRhee, however, was certainly pleased with his team’s overall perfor- mance in subduing Port Perry. “The rest of the team showed why they finished first in the west by hustling after every loose ball and playing excellent defence,” he noted. Emily MacTavish scored six points for the Rebels. Notre Dame’s semifinal opponent wasn’t known Tuesday. [ Volleyball ] Strong start for DRVC girls’ squad DURHAM — In am impressive sea- son opener, the DRVC 18U girls’ volleyball team won the gold medal at the 2007 Humber College Pre Season Volleyball Classic.

They defeated Interclub (25-13, 19-25, 15-6) in the semifinals and Aurora (25-14, 25-19) for the gold medal. Every team member played a vital role and brought it together as a team to bring home the gold.

Coaching staff includes Gerald Brunt, Andy Bonter and Richard Martin. [ Hockey ] Panthers atoms beat Burford for Campbellford title PICKERING — The Pickering Pan- thers atom ‘AE’ hockey team silenced the Burford Coyotes in the final to capture the championship trophy at the annual Camp- bellford Atom ‘AE’ Tournament recently. The Panthers dominated the final en route to a 4-0 shutout. Austin Vandersluis opened the scoring with an unassisted goal. Pickering continued to play well and were rewarded with goals by Connor Sawyer and Aidan McNally. Assists were Daniel Kalichman, Gary Bissett and Mathew Sopher. Jacob Godfrey completed the scoring, assisted by Sawyer. Sawyer earned most valuable player honours by the Burford coaches. Strong defensive play by Connor Carroll, Jacob Currie, Scott Henning, Mark Power and Kurt Schaefer kept the Coyotes away from the net. This helped preserve goalie Alex Hatzinikou’s shutout. Pickering forwards Connor Guneyler and Cameron Eno supplied fierce work in the corners in the final to ensure the Panthers maintained control. In Game 1, the Panthers opened with a 5-3 victory over the Ottonabee Wolves. Kalichman opened the scoring with an assist from Godfrey. McNally added to the scoring with two more goals, each assisted by Bissett. Kalichman scored his second of the game, unassisted, on an end-to-end breakout. Sawyer completed the scoring, assisted by Kalichman and Godfrey. Pickering advanced to the champion- ship game of the eight-team tournament with a 3-2 win over the Belleville Bulls minor atom ‘A’ squad. Pickering got off to a quick and strong start on a goal by Sawyer, assisted by Currie. Belleville scored twice in the middle frame for a 2-1 lead. Kalichman answered the call with the tying goal in the third period, assisted by Power. The game remained tied until late in the third period when Pickering’s Kalichman found the back of the net for the game winner, assisted by Sawyer and Godfrey. Brooklyn MacDonald was outstanding in net against Belleville, stopping a flurry of shots in the game.

For the first time in the club’s his- tory, the Pickering Soccer Club (PSC) has five competitive teams ranked in the top 10 in Ontario. Ranking is spe- cific to the age category with TERRA Power Ranking (TPR). Established in 2000, TPR annually ranks more than 1,800 youth competitive teams in the province in an effort to promote the game of soccer in Ontario. Ranking at this level starts at under 12 years of age to under 18. PSC has 24 competitive teams in ranking divi- sions. “This is a significant achievement and something to celebrate,” says Tony La Ferrara, club head coach. “The success of our club is driven by a strong desire to be leaders in soc- cer excellence. Our programs support player development and our coaching staff is committed to being the best in the region.” PSC’s under-13 girls’ team, coached by Nixon Bernardino, was ranked third in the province. The team achieved a number of accolades over the past season, including 2007 Ontario Cup quarter-finalists, Oshawa Spring Clas- sic champions and quarter-finalist at the Robbie International Tourna- ment. Moreover, 10 players from the PSC under-13s -- Amani Thomas, Ashley Nater, Chanice Rhoden, Christina Ca- ruso, Cyan Jean-Baptiste, Julia Szath- mary, Lia Foster, Meena Sharif, Noelle Leon-Palmer and Taylor Potts -- were recently selected to the Provincial De- velopment Program. In addition, PSC U17 girls’ team, coached by Manny White, earned a sixth-place ranking in the province. This team will play in the Ontario Youth Soccer League (OYSL) next sea- son. The PSC U14 girls’ team, coached by Bert Laing was ranked seventh in the province this season, earning and keeping their OYSL spot. In addition to OYSL status, the squad was semi- finalists at Ottawa’s National Capi- tal Invitational tournament, finalists at the Toronto Cup and champions at Amherst International Memorial tournament in Niagara. The Pickering Soccer Club U12 boys’ team, coached by Jeff Nastich, was ranked eighth in the Province. This team not only rose to the top as tournament champions four times this year, but were finalist in the On- tario Cup quarter-final rounds. Also ranked eighth in the province is the PSC U13 boys’ team, coached by Mike Reynolds. This position was achieved as the team placed third in the Central Soccer League, earning enough points to be promoted to the OYSL next summer. In addition, team members Rapha- el Reynolds, Fraser Aird and Keishan Alcindor were recently selected to the Provincial Development Program. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Five Pickering Soccer Club coaches have teams ranked in the top 10 in the annual Ontario Terra Power Rankings. From left, Bert Laing, club head coach Tony LaFerrara, Manny White, Jeff Nastich and Nixon Bernardino are proud of the accomplishment. Joslin also expects power forward Chad Beal to return to Pickering for Friday’s game at the complex against the Ajax Attack after another stint with the OHL’s London Knights. Beal may be joined forward Greg Payne who may get clearance to play after an eye injury in a game against St. Michael’s a week ago. Forward Brendan Hann is at least three weeks away from returning from a leg injury and forward Brad Sullivan is expected to be out at least two weeks with a possible ankle fracture. Another injured forward, Dan Mandel, has re- sumed skating and should return to the roster on Nov. 16. Joslin believes the Panthers are only a veteran defenceman away from compet- ing with the top tier of the South Confer- ence. “We’ve got some catching up to do, but with our goaltending and our ex- perience up front I think we’re one big- time defenceman from competing with the Vaughans, the Markhams and the St. Mike’s,” says Joslin, adding nothing’s im- minent in the trade department to add that last piece of the roster puzzle. After Friday’s tilt with the Ajax Attack (7:30 p.m. at the complex), the Panthers are on the road to play the Dixie Beehives in Toronto Saturday at 7:30 p.m. SCORING SUMMARY Durham Fury 4 at Panthers 10, Saturday, Nov. 3 Period 1 Pickering - Tyler Hauer (Guy Carteciano, Stan Smrke) 2:12 Pickering - Andy Andreoff (Kevin Hudes, Luca Penzo) 8:57 Durham - Adam Brown (unassisted) 14:16 Pickering - Andreoff (Hudes, Penzo) 14:31 Pickering - Jamie MacQueen (Andreoff, Hudes) 14:51 Period 2 Pickering - Andreoff (Tom Longland, Mac- Queen) 0:34 Pickering - Hudes (MacQueen, Andreoff) 5:03 Durham - Trevor McKinney (PP) (Justin Hitchen) 13:41 Pickering - Guy Carteciano (Smrke, Hauer) 17:48 Durham - Steven Koufis (Behn Robertson) 18:30 Period 3 Pickering - Mike McFarlane (Cole Watkins) 1:54 Durham - Behn Robertson (shorthanded) (Steven Koufis) 6:50 Pickering - Andreoff (Hudes, MacQueen) 8:35 Pickering - Longland (PP) (Carteciano, Hauer) 11:11.

It’s what happened to newly- weds Peter and Frances Hunt- er in Herongate Barn Dinner Theatre’s production of ‘No Sex Please, We’re British’. Peter, a bank clerk, and his bride, Frances, live in an apart- ment above the bank. The cou- ple wants to save up money and get a place of their own. Fran- ces thought a mail order busi- ness would be just the thing. She sends for the starter kit, but the merchandise she receives is pornography, lots of pornogra- phy. And that is the beginning of the couple’s lives turning up- side down in the British farce. Peter’s mother moves in. The bank’s superintendent drops by. The police inspector keeps popping in and out, because he suspects something odd is going on. Two beautiful Scandi- navian ladies then arrive. They were told the customer wasn’t satisfied and they intend to sat- isfy the customer. And all the while the young couple tries to get rid of the unwanted mer- chandise and try to keep ev- erybody away from everybody else. The show features Ali Ada- tia as Peter Hunter, Pickering’s Karen Wiley as Frances Hunter, Paul Francies of Pickering as bank superintendent Leslie Bromhead, and Margaret St. John-Francies of Pickering as the mother-in-law. Pickering’s Rose Green plays one of the Scandinavian women. Eliza- beth Holden plays the other. James Creighton is police su- perintendent Paul, Pickering’s Don Green is the delivery man, and Port Perry’s Grant Hunter is Brian Runnicles. “Brian Runnicles is a man who tries very hard to do the right thing. But he panics a lot. He gets everything blamed on him. He’s a very uptight kind of guy and not very good with women. At one time he’s chased by the Scandinavian girls but he doesn’t react very well,” said Hunter of the char- acter he plays. Superintendent Paul is very fond of the senior Mrs. Hunter. Mrs. Hunter is also the object of the bank superintendent’s affection. Wiley said she’s looking for- ward to the play. “I like Frances,” she said. “She’s cool. She’s not the bright- est bulb but she can hold her own. It’s a fun part to play.” The farce was one of the lon- gest-playing shows in London’s West End, playing to an enthu- siastic audience for nearly 10 years. Ann Ward directs. The show is on stage at Herongate Barn Theatre from Nov. 2 until Dec. 31. For more information and tickets, visit www.herongate. com. Jessica Tyler’s a working actress, dancer and singer By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — As a 14-year-old who’s relatively new to the acting scene, seeing yourself on the box of a top-selling toy is a neat feel- ing. Adorning the cover is a photo of Jessica Tyler, one of the teen dancers on the box of the Bella Dancerella/High School Musical product. It comes complete with a mat and an instructional video, which teaches youngsters to pre- teens all the dance steps of the songs performed on the hugely popular ‘High School Musical’ series of Disney movies. Earlier this year over the March break, Tyler and the other danc- ers spent time at a Toronto high school being filmed performing the dance routines to be included on the instructional DVD. Most ironic, though, was that Tyler’s background is in music and singing, with not much ex- perience in the dancing realm. A quick study, she was able to master the dance steps during four days of rehearsals prior to the film shoot. Tyler explains she was chal- lenged by the experience of working as a dancer, but it was also fun. “The rehearsals were tough and the dancing was intense, but it was lots of fun. It was a lot of fun working with 12 and 13 year olds,” recalls Tyler. “I do have dancing experience, but not anything competitive, just on the side.” But, that’s not all that’s keeping the precocious teen busy these days. Represented by AMI (Artist Management Inc.), the Grade 9 student’s been sent on numer- ous auditions and has fortunately landed a wide variety of roles, from commercials to voice-over work. Of late, she’s worked on the PBS Kids show ‘Franny’s Feet’, an 11-minute animated show that’s broadcast in Canada on the Fam- ily Channel, where Franny’s feet take her on an adventure. Tyler provides the voice of Franny, the doll. Of late, she was flown to New York City for a product licenc- ing show where she dressed as Franny. More recently, she flew with her father and manager, Rob Tyler, who plays guitar and sings with the popular local musical duo ‘Two for the Show’, to a Live Franny show in Washington, D.C. at the Library of Congress Na- tional Book Festival, where she performed to an adoring throng of kids. “Having kids run up to me was kind of unreal,” says Tyler of per- forming as Franny. Her voice has also been fea- tured on the PBS Kids show ‘Super Why!’, with her voice fea- tured in four of the animated episodes of the show geared to pre-schoolers. Tyler’s also done several com- mercial projects, everything from an ad for Mac’s Convenience Stores to two spots for Disney products. Most of all, however, Tyler con- siders herself a singer and, when the opportunity presents itself, she goes for it. She’s performed the Canadian and U.S. national anthems 12 times at Toronto Rock National Lacrosse League games over the years. “I’ve always liked singing; it’s my passion. Acting is fun and everything, but it’s my job. Sing- ing helps me get my feelings out,” she says, adding she’s recorded several songs she’s written at her father’s home studio. Tyler notes singing the nation- al anthem in front of a packed house for a Toronto Rock game at the Air Canada Centre never gets old. “When you walk out there and the light shines on you, it’s now or never,” she says. “The best feeling is when you come off after sing- ing. It’s amazing. It’s a challenge to do something like that.” On occasion, she’s also hopped on stage and taken over the microphone with ‘Two for the Show’. “I love singing with those guys. It’s fun. You laugh and make jokes and it’s a fun thing to do.” Tyler’s looking forward to being one of the performers at the up- coming Ajax on Stage! event on Saturday, Nov. 10 at 6 p.m. at the J. Clarke Richardson/Notre Dame Community Theatre. More than 20 acts are expected to perform, with the event em- ceed by Ajax resident and Avril Lavigne drummer Matt Brann.
