Committee disappointed with local response By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Low local registration for an upcoming AIDS conference shows there is more work to be done by the AIDS Committee of Durham Region, says its executive director. “AIDS isn’t a very popular issue,” Peter Richtig said. “We work popula- tion that most people would prefer that didn’t exist in this community.” The committee is holding a three- day conference with participants com- ing from as far away as Mexico, Costa Rica and El Salvador, but Mr. Richtig said it hasn’t attracted local partici- pants and he finds that disappointing. “We are having difficulty getting any of the local politicians, especially the federal politicians, involved,” he said. “The AIDS movement is very de- pressed right now in lack of federal support and lack of community sup- port.” Mr. Richtig said every two hours someone in Canada gets infected with HIV/AIDS. The AIDS Committee of Durham Region is a community-based charity that has provided HIV/AIDS-related services to the people of Durham Re- gion since 1992. “We provide both support services to those infected and prevention ed- ucation,” Mr. Richtig explained. “We work with young people and commu- nity organizations.” During National AIDS Aware- ness Week, from Nov. 27 to 29, the AIDS Committee of Durham Region is hosting a full agenda of speakers and workshops to highlight local and global strategies and partnerships sur- rounding HIV/AIDS. The conference will provide opportunities to develop and enhance knowledge and skills sur- rounding HIV/AIDS. The agenda includes a range of speakers, topics and workshops in- cluding: stigma and discrimination; engaging communities; corporate so- cial responsibility; faith-based social justice work; co-infection; criminaliza- tion of HIV transmission in Canada; women and HIV; substance use; and, youth and HIV. The opening dinner on Nov. 27 will have a Hispanic flare with authentic Mexican food and Latin jazz recording artist Amanda Martinez. “We want to highlight the work we are doing with the Hispanic commu- nity,” Mr. Richtig said. AIDS remains a crisis in Canada and Durham Region, but he said it is also a global pandemic and there’s a respon- sibility to help other places. Seeing that Latin America was somewhat of a “forgotten neighbour” Mr. Richtig said for the past few years the committee has been working with AIDS workers from Latin America. As well, he said the demographic AIDS conference attracts people from Latin America but where’s the Durham contingent? ✦ See AIDS, Page A2 Gunfire in college pub left Ajax man dead, two hurt By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Tensions between two groups of young people in a college pub were mounting in the moments before gunfire erupted, leaving one dead and two others seriously wound- ed, a Crown witness has testified at a murder trial in Whitby. Stephen Bar- rington, a stu- dent who worked evenings as a security guard at the Durham College pub in Oshawa, testi- fied Tuesday he was on his way to intervene as a “scrum” formed in the early morning hours of April 3, 2004, but stopped short when shots sounded. “I start toward the scrum to break it up,” Mr. Barrington said. “As I do I hear a pop and I see smoke.” Mr. Barrington was retreating from the source of the gunfire when he real- ized he’d been hit in the legs. He fell to the floor, stricken. He said that as he lay on the floor he also saw Eugene “Dwayne” Moses, a former Durham student, had fallen. Mr. Moses, 21, of Ajax, died after being shot in the chest. Neven Belic of Toronto is charged with second-degree murder in the young man’s death and aggravated assault in the wounding of two others, including Mr. Barrington. The Crown alleges Mr. Belic arrived at the pub with a group of friends in a limousine and that he was the gunman who fired the shots. Witnesses at this Superior Court trial have said they saw a man wearing a distinctive basketball jersey walking into a circle of friends that included Mr. Moses, intentionally bumping into people. Mr. Barrington said he approached and escorted a man wearing a basket- ball jersey out of the pub after he be- came aware the man had circumvent- ed security that included pat-downs and metal detection. The man soon rejoined his friends inside the pub and Mr. Barrington said there appeared to be tensions between that group and a group of friends that included Mr. Moses. Mr. Moses appeared to be a by- stander as some of the young men taunted each other, Mr. Barrington tes- tified. A fellow security worker alerted him when it appeared the showdown was escalating, he said. “They were yelling at each other and there was some pushing,” Mr. Bar- Tensions mounted before shooting: witness tells court Pesticide ban gets a little closer Little debate surrounds plans to limit pesticides in Pickering By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — It’s time to use a little elbow grease and stop using pesti- cides, says a Pickering City councillor. Ward 1 City Councillor Jenni- fer O’Connell has been pushing for the ban on pesticides since she was elected to Council. She gave a number of reasons why pesticides should be banned, including the cause of various of cancers, low birth weight, sterility and toxic breast milk. “I don’t care what anybody says,” she said in an interview. “It doesn’t matter if you’re accredited or not. When you spray them, you have no control where the air or the water will take it. And I think that everyone has a fundamental right not to be exposed to these chemi- cals.” ✦ See Trial, Page A2 ✦ See City, Page A2 For more on this story Dwayne Moses PETERBOROUGH • LINDSAY • COBOURG • HALIBURTONJOIN US!Fleming College – the ideal combination of learning and lifestyle.

City wants bylaw in place by March ✦ Trial from page A1 AIDS conference being held in Ajax ✦ AIDS from page A1 rington said. “I can’t identify who was pushing who.” Within seconds the shots rang out, Mr. Barrington said. Pandemonium ensued as frightened patrons scrambled from the bar, other witnesses have testified. Prosecutor John Scott told the jury in his open- ing address it is the Crown’s theory Mr. Belic left Durham College with his friends in the limo, then fled from the vehicle carrying the murder weapon when police stopped it some time later. Mr. Belic was charged with second- degree murder several months after the killing. The trial, before Superior Court Jus- tice Bruce Glass and a jury, continues. The long-awaited pesticide use draft bylaw came before Executive Com- mittee on Monday night and was passed for consultation. There wasn’t much debate on the issue, and it will be brought to Council next week. If passed there, staff will consult the pub- lic in a variety of ways - through ques- tionnaires and a town hall meeting for example - where changes can be made before the bylaw is passed. Golf courses and areas within a hydro cor- ridor are currently exempted, which Coun. O’Connell does not agree with and hopes is changed before the bylaw is passed. The dates of enforcement in the draft bylaw are: March 25, 2008 for commer- cial applicators and Jan. 1, 2009 for everyone else. Mayor Dave Ryan agreed with the dates “so they have an understanding very early that this is where the mu- nicipality is going.” He doesn’t want providers order- ing products they can’t use and noted that even if they can return it to the supplier, they’re usually charged with restocking fees. City staff fears the difficulty of en- forcing the bylaw, and noted possible problems in its report to the com- mittee. Staff believes that although banning pesticides coincides with sus- tainable Pickering principles, having a municipal bylaw officer prove the contents of the pesticides being ap- plied could be difficult. A complaint from a neighbour sim- ply watching somebody use them won’t cut it, and even if the officer watches someone apply the pesticides, it will be difficult for them to gather samples. But Coun. O’Connell noted the same difficulties could be associated with the noise bylaw, for example, and said there are many pesticide alternatives readily available. “I think there’s never going to be a perfect bylaw, but I think by banning companies from spraying this and tell- ing individuals that they’re not sup- posed to either, I think a good major- ity of people won’t, and I think that’s what’s key,” she said. Coun. O’Connell hopes for a com- plete ban across the province, which would prevent retailers from selling the product, but that will be up to the provincial government. City staff currently uses organic fer- tilizers, proper mowing and aeration, an irrigation system and regular de- thatching, which has reduced its own use of pesticides.

Last week, Mississauga council- lors passed a resolution that agrees in principle to a five-per cent Special Infrastructure Levy in 2008 to maintain Mississauga’s infrastructure. The resolution cites that if the Gov- ernment of Canada will not fulfil its obligations to cities and their infra- structure needs, and in view of its sur- plus and its decision to cut taxes, then Mississauga has no option but to step in and take a portion of the tax room created by the federal government’s income tax reduction announcement. “I think (Mississauga Mayor) Hazel (McCallion) has brought attention to the fact that there is a huge infra- structure deficit,” said Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce, the Chairwoman of the Region’s finance and administra- tion committee. “I maintain that the taxpayers have enough money in the system, the problem is that it isn’t at the right level of government.” She said that is evidenced by a pro- posed water and sewer rate increase of between five and 10 per cent in Dur- ham Region. “People may think they are getting funds back in their pocket, but really what you are seeing is a reinvestment.” At the Large Urban Mayors’ Caucus of Ontario (LUMCO) meeting at the General Motors Centre in Oshawa on Friday, it’s expected Mayor McCallion will ask the mayors in attendance to endorse her approach. LUMCO is made up of mayors from municipalities with a population of 100,000 or more. They meet three to four times a year to discuss items of mutual concern and interest affecting municipalities. According to the Fed- eration of Canadian Municipalities, municipalities across Canada report a $60-to-$100-billion infrastructure deficit. The agenda for the meeting, which Mayor McCallion will chair, in- cludes an update on the Cities NOW! Campaign, a public and media cam- paign explaining the consequences of federal inaction. Whitby Mayor Pat Perkins is at- tending the LUMCO meeting and said Mayor McCallion’s timing is good to have the infrastructure issue talked about. “God love Hazel, she is never afraid to go forward with her opinion,” Mayor Perkins said. “But, I don’t think a five per cent increase is the end all and be all. I’m not sure she is right in targeting the federal government.” It is up to the Province, Mayor Per- kins said, to distribute funds. “What we need is some sort of strat- egy from the federal government that mandates the Province of Ontario on how to distribute those funds equi- tably to the municipalities,” she said. “I don’t think the Province has done a good job of getting the money out there.” When the federal government re- duced the GST by one cent, Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said it pro- vided an opportunity for the premier of Ontario to apply that one cent, add it the PST, and let that money flow to the municipalities. The public, he said, wouldn’t see the savings, but they would see a tremendous investment in roads, sewer and bridges. “I have always thought the federal government would do exactly what they said they would do when they ran and that is reduce GST two cents,” Mr. Anderson said. “But there is an op- portunity for Mr. McGuinty to pass that one cent on and dedicate it for sewer, water, roads and bridges.” Mr. Anderson said he would rather get one cent of the PST than five per cent of the property taxes in Durham. “We believe that if the government took that money and divided it among the provinces and let the provinces distribute it to the municipalities it would far exceed their infrastructure deficit,” he said.

Robert Bryant, of Oshawa, told how he has been caring for his wife since she fell ill three years ago. “You have no idea how much stress a caregiver goes through until you are there,” Mr. Bryant said. “I do worry about my wife if some- thing happens to me. I don’t really know what the answer is, but I would like to see someone come up with an answer to give caregivers more sup- port.” They said there is a dire need for short-stay beds, increased availabil- ity of homecare and homemaker ser- vices, supportive housing and day program enhancements. At its Oct. 31 meeting, Regional Council heard from the delegates and passed a motion asking the pro- vincial government to infuse more funds into community-based servic- es, such as homecare, homemaker services, assisted living and support- ive housing and that the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care and Durham MPPs initiate a process to receive direct public input on the issue. In Durham Region, the growth rate in the 65-years-and-over population is increasing more rapidly that the growth rate in those less than 65 years, according to a report by the Region’s health and social services staff. This trend is placing a strain on an already stressed health-care system and one of the areas largely affected is the capacity of community-based services to meet the needs of care- givers caring for family members. There are in excess of 1,300 names on a waiting list to get into one of the Region’s four long-term care homes. The wait can vary from one to three years. “Health care is so short on re- sources,” said Judy Heffern, director of long-term care and services for Durham, in an interview. “There was no questioning that the resources that are available are good, there just isn’t enough of them.” There are not enough beds in Durham Region and there are not enough resources to facilitate stay- ing at home and or support services for caregivers, she said. “There is a need for supportive housing and assisted living in the Region,” Ms. Heffern said. “As the population gets older, they are fear- ful of what will happen because there is already a really stretched resource base there now.” Ms. North said the response from the councillors seemed to be posi- tive. “Quite a few of them have been in the same position as a lot of the caregivers,” Ms. North said. “It is not that they don’t know what it is like. But it seems their hands are tied.” She is encouraged by the motion council passed and hopes it will get the provincial government’s atten- tion. “What we would like to see as well is that they put something in place for respite,” Ms. North said. “Down on paper these people are entitled to 90 days a year of respite care but there are no beds to put them in.” According to Ms. Heffern, there is hope on the horizon for caregivers and their loved ones. In August of 2007 the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care released an “Aging at Home Strategy”. The primary purpose of the strategy is to transform community health care services so seniors can lead healthy, independent lives in their homes. The Central East Local Health Inte- grated Network will receive $288,000 in 2007/08 for planning to identify local needs and priorities for seniors and an additional $36 million in ser- vice delivery funding over a three- year period. “It looks like and we are hoping the ministry will stay committed to the “Aging at Home Strategy” and ensure that these services are looked at and this becomes a reality because it needs to.” Giant teddy bear Wal-Mart Stripe pullover sweater The Children’s Place No Surrender sneakers the BayJordan runners Champs Sports Metallic belt The Children’s Place Vibration cords the Bay Cropped velvet jacket The Children’s Place Zipper sweater La Senza Girl Full size pony Wal-Mart Sweat pants Roots Jeans with rhinestones The Children’s Place Glitter head band La Senza Girl Classic velvet blazer The Children’s Place MORE Fun with Santa!

Earlier this year we submitted a Project Description to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission for up to four new nuclear units and up to 4800 MW at the site. Since then the environmental assessment was started, which is another step in the federal approvals process. During the information sessions, OPG staff will be on hand to share information about the project, explain the environmental assessment studies, and to answer your questions and discuss our next steps. A presentation will be given at 7:00 p.m. We look forward to seeing you there.

Mr. Wilson is nominated in the chil- dren’s literature (text) category for his novel, the ‘Alchemist’s Dream’, which uses Henry Hudson’s ill-fated voyage to the Hudson Bay as the backdrop. A resident of Lantzville, British Co- lumbia, he visited the school as part of a two-week book tour. “I don’t stand up and read a lot from the books, you guys can do that your- selves,” he said. Instead, Mr. Wilson captured his mostly male audience of Grade 10 ap- plied history and English students with stories of how his books came to be. “All of my books are about the past, I’ve written 21 books and they’re all about history,” he said, adding he’s written about dinosaurs, but that’s still history. Storytelling comes naturally to Mr. Wilson. He told the students his father, who grew up and lived in British India until that country gained independence, would regale him with stories about things like hunting tigers off an ele- phant’s back. They were fascinating to the young Mr. Wilson growing up in Scotland in the 1950s and 60s. “It was bleak, it was miserable and he was telling me these stories of the world he lived in. I could barely imag- ine it.” His 2006 book, ‘Where Soldiers Lie’, is nominated for the Red Maple award, which is part of the Forest of Reading program where students vote for their favourite books. “The idea for this book came from a story my father told me.” On one hunting expedition, his father shot a crocodile and found a pocket watch in its stomach. The watch belonged to a young British man who must have gone to India to seek his fortune. “This watch had been engraved in 1857, my dad found it in a crocodile in 1930.” The crocodile was found just down river of Cawnpore, now known as Kan- pur, where in 1857, the Sepoys — In- dians in the British army — mutinied against their British officers and killed them. That led to a siege in the town and eventually the massacre of the British women and children as well. He wondered about the fate of the young man whose watch his father found. “I used to lie awake at night imagin- ing what this guy’s life was like.” Mr. Wilson told other war stories that inspired his books — from the First and Second World Wars — lead- ing one student to ask how many sto- ries he knew. “Hundreds”, Mr. Wilson responded. Brigitte Beaulieu, the teacher-librar- ian at Ajax High, said she was im- pressed by how well the students lis- tened. “It brings the book alive to the stu- dents. I can do a book talk, but hav- ing the author talk to them, he’ll grip them, he’ll grab their attention.” Ms. Beaulieu said boys especially like to read Mr. Wilson’s books. “I knew his books were really popu- lar last year and I thought he’d be a great speaker, especially for boys, and we’re always trying to appeal to boys in literacy.” In general, he said, girls will read a bad book and say afterwards that it was bad. Boys will abandon the book if their attention isn’t captured. “If you want boys to read it, you have to make it exciting in the beginning and grab their attention and hold it.” Author brings ‘hundreds’ of stories to Ajax High School Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Author John Wilson has been nominated as a finalist for the 2007 Governor General’s Literary Award for his children’s book, ‘The Alchemist’s Dream.’ Mr. Wilson was at Ajax High School speaking to students. ‘It brings the book alive to the students.

Grey, damp mornings, harsh winds carry- ing the promise of winter’s chill, barren, brown, frosted landscapes. The season of Re- membrance. Some people have a hard time with November. The days are short, the nights are long and cold and wet, every- where everything seems to be withering and in the distance one can just make out the blaring, gaudy rollercoaster of December approaching. It can be a bit of a downer. Personally though, I like the month. I find it a very intro- spective time of year, a perfect month for walks and thinking and reflection, an apt milieu to the Armistice and our day of Remembering. I hope this year that you and your family were able to find meaning in this day. It’s not hard. One has only to spend a short time in the company of those shambling, shuffling old men and women in the blue blazers and berets. Even a shared minute of si- lence with them is enough to effect change in a heart hard- ened by the hustle, bustle and blaring inanity of day-to-day life. And if you want to really understand what Remem- brance Day is all about, do what I do. During that mo- ment of silence do not bow your head. Do not close your eyes and think about how much time is left or how cold it is or about the next item on your day’s itinerary. Instead, look at the eyes of the vet- erans. Many of them do not bow their heads. Indeed, I have found that most of them are looking up at something far, far away and yet intensely close to them. In those moist, cataract-clouded eyes you will see untold pain, heartache, horror, courage, pride and love, an enormous amount of love. You will see flashes of a frightened, confused, excited young man or woman. You will see things that, thanks to that vet, you and I have never had to see. I warn you however, it’s not easy. There is always a price to be paid for connecting to another human being. When you stare into those eyes you open a conduit that flows both ways. And when you allow their sacrifice to pass into your own heart, this grey day in November will never be the same for you again. Finally, you may experi- ence, as I often do, the intense desire to hug one of these people or to at least shake one of their hands and offer a heartfelt “Thank you.” But please, don’t make the mis- take, as I have done in the past, of ignoring this impulse. Do it. Do it on Remembrance Day. Do it on the days before and following Nov. 11. If you find yourself in the company of a vet or the moth- er or father of a vet or any- one who has made any kind of sacrifice for our freedom in the past or the present, let them know with a hug, a handshake, a smile or sa- lute, that you are grateful. And most importantly that you will never, ever forget. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

The Scugog mayor and chairwoman of the Region’s finance and administration committee, at a meeting where a pro- jected regional hike of 4.4 per cent was announced, noted municipal governments aren’t receiving a lot of support from other levels of government. She referred to the federal government having “a great opportunity to invest in cities” in the recent mini budget, noting “they didn’t.” There’s a strange and vicious circle going on here due to our multi- tier system and the trickle-down effect. It goes something like this: previous federal Liberal governments make extensive cuts to transfer payments to the provinces to get the federal house in order; provinces like Ontario must then cut the amount it gives municipalities and download services to them; and, municipalities are caught in a no- win situation where they must raise taxes to pay for things plopped in their lap by the Province. In that context, the tax relief offered by the federal government doesn’t amount to a lot. “I am so frustrated with one level giving it back and then we don’t have the money,” Mayor Pearce said. “That lovely little bit of money you just got back you are going to have to pay for it on your municipal tax bill.” Given that the Canadian government’s massive surpluses will likely shrink in the future (less collected on the GST, economic downturn etc.), Mayor Pearce is correct that the timing was right. At a time when cities are desperate for funds to pay for infrastructure upgrades and repairs that will cost billions, the government put $11 billion down on paying the debt. Now, it’s hard to criticize a government that cuts taxes and certainly the tax relief, any tax relief, is welcome. But, the government could have given $2 billion to $3 billion in one-time funding to Canada’s larger cities, where most Canadians live, to address this infrastructure issue. It could have had it both ways, in a sense: cut the debt and help cities. How much will Toronto and other large cities in Ontario spend this coming year to fix watermains, roads, bridges etc.? Possibly very little, given they can’t afford to pay for services they are delivering. In the meantime, infrastructure repair costs continues to rise. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has cited the government’s $33 billion infrastructure plan. In the plan, however, provinces and territories are receiving $25 million per year in base funding - peanuts, really. As for the GST tax rebate, it will provide $5.8 billion in additional funding for cities - over seven years. In a province like Ontario, that doesn’t go far at all.

Federal Provincial Municipal Cast your vote online at infodurhamregion.com Last Week’s Question: Do you plan to get a flu shot this fall? Total votes: 212 Yes: 50 % No: 50 % Enough grandstanding at Pickering council To the editor: During the past two council meetings, Pickering Council has purportedly been dealing with a proposal to reimburse former councillor Maurice Brenner for legal costs relating to fraud charges brought against him while serving on council, and for which he was later acquit- ted. I use the word “purportedly” because, having attended the September and October coun- cil meetings, it is clear to me that in reality these discussions have everything to do with the grandstanding of Councillor Doug Dickerson (assisted by Councillor O’Connell) to pro- mote himself as a future may- oral candidate. Whether you are a supporter of Mayor Dave Ryan in this issue or not (and I am), Pickering residents should be incensed that council is spend- ing its valuable time being dragged through the protracted, belligerent and combative dia- tribes of Coun. Dickerson, in- stead of dealing with the matter as it should, and moving on to other business. Now Coun. Dickerson, who complained vociferously about the City’s legal costs to date in this matter, is supporting a mo- tion to seek legal advice on what he describes as a possible law- suit by Mr. Brenner. More dol- lars spent, more time wasted! When does Coun. Dickerson’s grandstanding end? When do other members of council speak up and say enough is enough? As Coun. Dickerson contin- ues in his unofficial campaign to become mayor, he should re- view the television coverage of the last two council meetings. In comparing his behaviour to that of Mayor Ryan, he might just learn something about re- spect, fair-mindedness and the responsibilities of being mayor. Laurie Grady Pickering Why aren’t we addressing youth crime? To the editor: Re: Oct. 31 story, ‘Pickering Covered In Paint’. Most people want a safe com- munity where you can live and work without fear and crime. The recent drive-by paint-ball shooting incident in Pickering has many people wondering, ‘Why does this happen?’ and ‘What can be done to stop this?’ In recent years incidents like this have become common in our community. Teens vandal- ize homes and put residents in jeopardy of being harmed. No one wants to live like this, so what is happening with our teenagers today? Growing up in Pickering, I have experienced first-hand what many teenagers do with their free time. Yes, there are movie theatres, restaurants, organized sports groups and community centres to occupy a teenager’s time. However, bore- dom still plays a large part in small-town Pickering. Let’s face it, the 80/20 rule applies here: 80 per cent of teen vandalism and crime is done by 20 per cent of the teens. This small group of teenagers is generally not involved in community activities and they start hang- ing out with the wrong crowd. Many such teens begin with minor crimes and pranks that lead to major criminal activity down the road. These teens have very little respect for individuals, the com- munity and authority. Punish- ment has proven to be lax and has not helped to deter criminal youth activity. The only way to eliminate teen crime is to make parents responsible for the ac- tions of their children while under the age of 18. Also our courts need to create swifter and harsher punishments that will make teenagers think twice before doing the deed or falling into the dreaded trap of peer pressure. Youth crime is something we need to control. Our youth today are the future. Why isn’t there more action being taken? Danielle Wright Pickering submitted photo Standing tall Hydro workers, assisted by Pickering sculptor Dorsey James, left, install a totem pole in Scarborough’s Morningside Park last week. The installation capped the saga involving the pole which, just before it was to be erected, went missing from its park location. It was discovered soon afterwards, much to the relief of Mr. James, mentor on the proj- ect involving a number of Scarborough students.

The Durham Elementary Athletic Association (DEAA) intermediate boys’ and girls’ Final Four was at Village Union Public School in Oshawa last week. In the intermediate boys’ play- downs, Dr. R. Thornton Public School of Whitby defeated Lakeside Public School of Ajax 22-25, 25-20, 15-13 in one semifinal. In the other semi, Brooklin Village defeated Westcreek Public School of Pickering 23-25, 25-12, 15-8. In the final, Brooklin Village de- feated Dr. Thornton 25-14, 21-25, 15-13. Meanwhile, in the intermediate girls’ division, four Whitby schools dominated the Final 4 event, with C.E. Broughton defeating Col. Farewell in the first semifinal and Captain Michael VandenBos defeating Pringle Creek in the other semi. In the final, VandenBos defeated Broughton in a hard-fought third game tie-breaker. [ Hockey ] Local players help Ontario to national women’s gold DURHAM — Two local players helped Team Ontario ‘Red’ capture its fourth consecutive national women’s under-18 hockey crown at the 2007 tournament in Kitchener that ended Sunday. Ontario ‘Red’ edged Quebec 4-3 in the gold- medal final at the Kitchener Memorial Audi- torium. Natalie Spooner and defenceman Tara Watchorn, both members of the Durham Junior Lightning Provincial Women’s Hockey League team, played pivotal roles for Ontario. Watchorn registered an assist on Ontario’s first goal in the final. Meanwhile, in the Ontario ‘Red’ team’s 6-1 semifinal win over Team Atlantic, Spooner, the team captain, netted a hat trick and added an assist and was named the player of the game for her efforts. Two of Spooner’s goals were scored just 11 seconds apart. All told, Ontario ‘Red’ finished with a record of 5-0 at the under-18 cham- pionships. Meanwhile, Ontario ‘Blue’, which included Durham Junior Lightning defenceman Kailey Chappell, didn’t fare as well, losing all three of its pool games, thus failing to qualify for Saturday’s semifinal round. Chappell registered an assist in the Ontario ‘Blue’ squad’s 4-3 loss to B.C. on Friday. Pickering player earns college rookie honours PICKERING — A Pickering hockey player is enjoying the fruits of her fine play on the international and collegiate ice. Fresh off playing a pivotal role in helping the Canadian national women’s team capture the 4 Nations Cup with a win over the Americans in the final, Jenn Wakefield was named the rook- ie of the month in the Hockey East conference. A forward on the second-ranked University of New Hampshire women’s ice hockey team, Wakefield compiled five goals and three assists for eight points in six October games. She also compiled a plus/minus rating of plus-7 and netted the game- winning goal against Boston University on Oct. 21. She is currently ranked 10th nationally in goals per game as well as 19th in points per game and third among rookie scorers. Moreover, Wakefield was UNH’s top goal scorer in October, tied for the team lead in points and was second in shooting percentage (.179). Tara Watchorn Jenn Wakefield Lady Cougars back in LOSSA final Notre Dame senior girls’ hoops squad continues undefeated league season with semifinal win over Titans By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — The Notre Dame Lady Cou- gars are headed back for another crack at a Durham Region senior girls’ basket- ball championship. The Notre Dame senior girls’ squad earned its second consecutive trip to the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) ‘AAAA’ champion- ship game after toppling the All Saints Catholic Secondary School Titans of Whitby 60-31 in semifinal action at the north Ajax school on Monday after- noon. Awaiting top-seeded Notre Dame in the final are the Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School Wildcats of Whitby, which shaded the Pickering High School Trojans 44-39 in the other semifinal played at the Whitby school on Monday. Lady Cougars’ coach Rose Booker says her players have been singular in their ambitions since the start of prac- tices for the 2007 season: Get back to the LOSSA title game and atone for last year’s overtime loss to Sinclair in the final. “That’s been our focus,” says Booker, after the team’s impressive semifinal victory that bumped the Lady Cougars’ undefeated LOSSA record to 12-0 and 34-2 overall. “First and foremost, we’re not looking past LOSSA.” The Lady Cougars left no doubt they wouldn’t be denied a berth in the LOSSA showcase game in Monday’s semifinal. A desultory second quarter notwithstanding, Notre Dame was in total control as they did their typical outstanding job in the paint, mopping up around the offensive and defensive boards with zeal. Forward Rhea Pascal was her usual dominating self on the boards, outbattling all comers. Although ecstatic with the end re- sult, Booker was nonetheless unhappy with her team’s lethargic second quar- ter where they held a lean 11-9 advan- tage over the Titans. This after the Lady Cougars came out like gangbusters in the first quarter, posting a 17-0 lead, marked by a particularly bad shooting quarter by the visitors. “We had a great start, but the second quarter wasn’t great. We let them back in (the game) in the second quarter. If we’re going to win LOSSA, we’re going to have to play a full four quarters. That’s what we need to win it.” The Lady Cougars returned to form in the third quarter, opening up a 23-point bulge with a 45-22 lead. The stanza was marked by two coast-to-coast buckets by centre Nicholle McKenzie, who was mostly unstoppable in the contest, end- ing up with a game-high 17 points. Although in tough against a strong and deep Notre Dame squad, Titans’ coach Sarah MacGregor was happy with her young team’s ability to battle through adversity, rallying in the sec- ond quarter after absolutely nothing would drop in the opening frame. “They’re bigger than us, so we prac- tised with boys to get ready for the game. We wanted to contain Nicholle (McKenzie) and Rhea (Pascal), but they were better than us in rebounds and we didn’t finish well when we had the op- portunities,” says MacGregor. Making the semifinals was a big step forward for her Titans, notes Mac- Gregor, as the All Saints seniors finished out of the playoffs a season ago. Also scoring for Notre Dame was Pascal with 13 and point guard Catha- rine Bougoulias with 11, including two three-point field goals. Keri Harris scored 13 for All Saints.

Pickering High lost to Oshawa’s O’Neill Collegiate Redhawks 25-22, 23-25, 15-8. The host Pine Ridge Pumas emerged victorious, defeating Port Perry High School 25-17, 25-10 in the quarter-final contest and then defeating O’Neill in the semifinal 25-14, 25-15. The Pumas play the Sinclair Secondary School Celtics of Whitby in the LOSSA ‘AAAA’ championship game at Anderson Collegiate in Whitby tonight (Wednesday) at 6:30 p.m. Both the Celt- ics and Pumas, however, will represent LOSSA at the upcoming provincial high school (OFSAA) championships in Mis- sissauga. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Pickering juniors drop two to Ajax, Dixie By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — To paraphrase an old adage, if it wasn’t for bad luck, the Pickering Panthers would have no luck at all. That certainly tells the tale of the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League squad of late. Injuries have been mounting for the hockey club commensurate with losses, including two on the weekend to the rival Ajax Attack on home ice on Friday and the upstart Dixie Beehives in To- ronto on Saturday. All told, the Panthers (6-14-1) are a dismal 3-7 in their last 10 games and currently sit in a tie for eighth spot in the South Conference standings with the Durham Fury, both with 13 points. The dark cloud that currently enve- lopes the Panthers won’t lift until a host of injured players return to the lineup. And, head coach Mark Joslin says getting players back will go a long way to eradi- cating the club’s current spate of bad luck. “Once we get everyone back we should be a contender,” says Joslin. “Getting all elements togeth- er on the same night would be a big help. Our luck has to change, that’s for sure.” To add insult to injury, the numbers in the walking wounded department may increase as starting goaltender Brennan Potterzay tweaked a knee in Saturday’s 5- 4 overtime loss to Dixie, which prompted Terrance Reid to enter the game early in the third period. Joslin’s unsure of the extent of Potter- zay’s injury, but he’s hoping the goal- tender isn’t on the shelf for an extended period to time. Others on the injured list: • Forward Daniel Mandel (broken wrist), is expected to be back in the lineup for Friday’s re-match against the Dixie Bee- hives; • Forward Greg Payne (eye), is out indefi- nitely suffering continued blurred vision after receiving a stick to the eye during a recent game against the St. Michael’s Buzzers; • Forward Brad Sullivan (ankle), started to skate at practice on Tuesday, and may rejoin the team soon; • Defenceman Scott Brown (concussion), may be cleared to play on the weekend; • Forward Brendan Hann (leg), is at least a month away from beginning to skate; In addition to those injuries, newly acquired defenceman Aaron Atwell, ac- quired from the Streetsville Derbys of the league’s West Conference, suffered a hyperextended elbow in his first shift against Ajax on Friday but, after treat- ment, was able to play in Saturday’s game against Dixie. After a lacklustre effort in a 6-3 loss to the Attack at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday night, the Panthers turned in a much more solid perfor- mance against Dixie. Before the contest, Panthers’ coaches met with players to address concerns. The players also hosted a players-only meeting in hopes of turning things around in Dixie and salvaging the week- end. But, again, bad luck played a major role in the outcome. The winning goal in overtime, credited to Beehives’ Shane Ferguson, was put into the net by Pickering defenceman Thomas Long- land. Despite holding leads of 2-0, 3-1 and 4-2, the Panthers couldn’t hold tight, especially in the third period when the Beehives stung the Panthers for two goals in the last 10 minutes to tie the contest.

Joslin noted the club squandered what was otherwise a fine effort on Saturday. “It was a great effort and we played well enough to win, but we have zero luck right now with injuries and bad bounces,” lamented Joslin. The Panthers allowed the Attack to earn their second win of the season against them, adding to Pickering’s woes. The Attack leads the six-game season series two games to one. Mostly, though, a poor first-period ef- fort was at the root of the loss by the Panthers to their cross-town rivals. “To give up four goals (in the first period) to a team like Ajax is unaccept- able. We battled in the third period. It was panic time, but it was too late. We’re playing catch-up hockey too often,” says Joslin. In addition to Friday ’s rematch against Dixie (Pickering complex, 7:30 p.m.), the Panthers are also in Oshawa on Saturday night against the Durham Fury at the Campus Ice Centre at 8:30 p.m. SCORING SUMMARIES Ajax Attack 6 at Panthers 3; Friday, Nov. 9 Period 1 Ajax - Adam Place (Andrew Fairney, Ryan Trimble) 0:47 Pickering - Jamie MacQueen (Chris Clark, Luca Penzo) 0:58 Pickering - J.P.

Melinda ‘The Whip’ Watpool of Til- ler’s Boxing Club in Ajax, in only her sixth lifetime amateur bout, scored a tight 21-20 decision over Aimee Willimot of Chatham’s KAYO Boxing Club in the 86-kilogram senior female heavyweight gold-medal fight at the championships on Saturday night. Willimot entered Saturday’s bout as the two-time provincial champ in the weight class and had more than 20 previous bouts under her belt. Watpool, 17, was the decided under- dog, having only been training for just more than a year at Tiller’s and just making the five-fight minimum in order to qualify for the open pro- vincials. According to Chris Tiller, the head coach at Tiller’s Boxing Club, the bout had everything, including a high level of animosity stirred up in the hours before the two entered the ring. But, once in the ring, it was game-on and both fighters gave it their all, with the lead changing hands several times through the course of the three-round bout. After knocking down Willimot with 90 seconds remaining, Watpool gained confidence in the final minute, holding fast to her razor-thin lead. “What a fight,” says Tiller. “It was great to be a part of.” Tiller says Wat- pool and Willi- mot have agreed to a re-match in the future. As the vic- tor, Watpool will represent Ontario at the weight class at the upcoming Canadian Open Boxing Champi- onships in Richmond, B.C. from Nov. 28 to Dec. 2. Tiller explains Watpool will be in tough, with at least two fighters from Quebec and one from B.C. having many years of experience. “She’s going to have her work cut out for her,” he says. One other Tiller’s boxer, Ahmed Ka- ratella, was supposed to fight at pro- vincials, but instead received a walk- over in his junior division 48-kilogram weight class, meaning he’ll automati- cally qualify for junior nationals in Windsor from Jan. 25 to 27.

It fell out of my eye. So for the whole act, and it was the top of Act 1, I was half blind. And you get a headache when you have only one contact lens in. So I had a headache like you wouldn’t believe,” Marks says in an interview. Marks, who recently performed in ‘A Little Quickie’ at Class Act Dinner Theatre in Whitby, has appeared in more than 100 stage productions in and around the GTA. A veteran of both the Herongate Barn and Class Act din- ner theatres, Marks began his career in England when he was seven years old, doing sitcoms and commercials. His family moved to Canada when he was 13 years old. After several years’ hiatus, the the- atre bug bit him again when he saw an ad for a community theatre group in Brampton. “I really do thrive on the applause and acknowledgement from the audi- ence,” Marks said. He loves dramatic acting but his passion is comedy, even though it is not the easiest genre. Many elements are involved in comedic acting. The timing, physicality, getting the char- acter, and playing the audience are all crucial. “You have to know that when an audience is laughing, you have to stop talking and let them enjoy that laugh. But you cannot just stop and stand there. You’ve got to start doing things. But things that make sense to the scene,” he explained. Often, it is the audience that drives the show. As a result, the show can be different from one night to another. He recounted one particular show about infidelity that had been run- ning for five weeks. A couple hired the theatre and the show for their wedding reception. “Every night the laughter was deaf- ening. Then we had 150 people who were there to celebrate their friends’ wedding and they’re watching a show about infidelity. There was not a laugh in the house. By intermission, half the audience had left. It was a very strange evening for the actors,” Marks said. The bride loved the show, but her guests didn’t. Marks said acting is his passion and his ultimate goal is to be a full-time working actor. “If the recognition comes with it, great. But it’s not the be all and end all,” he says.

War effort sites in Ajax, Whitby helped shape Durham Region, important part of our history Exhibit offers artists’ view of conflict By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — When Gil McElroy came to town as the interim curator of Station Gallery, he looked for a way to explore his new community. He soon found it in the form of an art exhibit highlighting two long-gone but important features that framed Whitby, Camp X, the former spy camp that operated on the Oshawa-Whitby border during the Second World war, and the Ajax munitions factory, an- other Second World War facility that cranked out ammunition for the war effort. “I needed to find out about the com- munity I was now working in,” McElroy said. “This is a way of doing that.” Prohibited Areas and NonSites: In- voking Camp X and Pickering Works, which opened Oct. 27, consists of works by five Canadian artists who have re- imagined and reinterpreted that time and place in Canadian history: Sarah Beck, Peter Dykhuis, Adrian Gollner, Barb Hunt and Joseph Hubbard. You’ll find intriguing items including a full-scale sculpture of a South African tank to knitted versions of landmines. “I knew about Camp X,” McElroy said. “But I also found out about the Ajax munitions plant. They gave shape to the kind of city this has become.” Camp X was created in 1941 by Sir William Stephenson, chosen by Win- ston Churchill to lead British espio- nage activities. While agents and saboteurs were training for combat in the east end of Whitby, the largest munitions plant in the British Empire was pumping out ammo in the middle of expropriated farmland on the west edge. An instant community sprang up around the Defense Industries Ltd. plant, a community that eventually be- come Ajax. McElroy hopes the exhibit reminds people of the major role Whitby, Os- hawa and Ajax played in the war. He also wants them to realize the continuing impact of war on Durham. The recently named Highway of He- roes, for example, is a section of Hwy. 401 renamed to honour Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan. Their bodies are transported along it from Trenton to Toronto, and many Durham residents crowd overpasses to view the procession and pay their respects. One of the soldiers was from Bowmanville. Regular tours by local schools are planned. The exhibit is open through Dec. 2. The gallery is located at Henry and Victoria streets. For more information, go to www. whitbystationgallery.com.

PAGE B4 ◆ N EWS A DVERTISER ◆ November 14, 2007A/P It’s going to be a bluesy night in Greenbank as Emory Lester visits DURHAM — It’s all about blue in Greenbank this November. And one of Canada’s “foremost exponents of the acoustic mandolin”, according to organizers, is dropping in with some friends to Greenbank Hall on Saturday, Nov. 17, at 8 p.m. for a ‘Blue- grass Wizards’ session. Emory Lester and an ensemble of other bluegrass and acoustic artists, forming the Emory Lester Set, will be featured that night. “At age six, Emory was on stage with his dad and brother, playing shows for local radio stations and schools in their immediate area,” reads a release on the event. Mr. Lester’s first solo mandolin album was recorded in 1983, followed by another release in 1985. The latter involved him playing all the instru- ments, recorded one track at a time, and writing all the songs. Tickets are $20 each, available at Blue Heron Books in Uxbridge, P.O.E.
