The youth, who by law cannot be named, was released into the custody of his father fol- lowing a bail hearing Tues- day in Oshawa. Crown counsel Lori Anne Turn- er, who consent- ed to the terms of release, indicated the youth will be living under virtual house arrest as he awaits his day in court. The boy faces two counts of crimi- nal negligence causing death following the Sunday morning crash on Audley Road which claimed the lives of two 15-year-old school mates. He had been in custody since being treated and re- leased from hospital Sunday. The youth shuffled into court Tues- day dressed in grey sweats and sat hunched forward for much of the hearing, his chin resting in his hand. He occasionally winced and rubbed his left shoulder. Among the terms of his bail are that he not leave his home unless in the company of his father or other court-approved chaperones, or to at- tend school during the day. He is pro- hibited from driving and is not allowed to sit in the front seat of any vehicle. He is also not to be in a vehicle with any- one other than his father or another approved person. The youth has also been ordered to surrender his passport. The bail hearing was held Tuesday following the highly-publicized crash. Questions have been raised about a 14-year-old driving, and the fact that he apparently owns the car involved in the crash. A publication ban was placed on ii i † †Some conditions apply.

Council decides taxpayers should not cover former councillor’s court costs By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Pickering Coun- cil has decided not to cover former councillor Maurice Brenner’s legal fees. Ever since Mr. Brenner, in June, was cleared of fraud-related charg- es relating to secretarial services, the topic of whether or not the City should cover his legal fees of near- ly $50,000 has been discussed in Council chambers. Although it was a motion put forward by Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson, he ended up voting against it at Monday night’s meeting. “It was clear that the residents did not want to pay the fees,” he said after the meeting. But Coun. Dickerson argued his case, saying there was a “gap in the confidence bridge” since members of Council didn’t hear about the ac- cusations against Mr. Brenner until it was made public. He said Mayor Dave Ryan should have presented the information to Council sooner, and again said he should pay the fees. “Open is better than closed, win- dows are better than walls and doors,” Coun. Dickerson said. But Mayor Ryan defended his de- cision in an interview. “It was inappropriate for an alle- gation against a member of Council to be made public, even to Council,” he said. He added it was dealt with in Mr. Brenner’s best interest, and said if Mr. Brenner wanted Council to know, he could have told them himself. Coun. Dickerson said it is still un- known how journalist Dale Gold- hawk acquired the expenses in the first place. But, earlier in the evening, Mr. Goldhawk explained to Council he received an anonymous brown envelope containing the documents, something he called usual for jour- nalists. After numerous attempts at getting answers from Mr. Brenner, and treasurer Gil Paterson saying he had to take Mr. Brenner’s word, he took another route. “And so when Mr. Ryan became mayor, I gave the file to him,” he said. “I thought it was my responsibility as a citizen and my duty as a journal- ist.” Ward 3 City Councillor David Pick- les said discussions of Mr. Brenner’s accusations, and those against the mayor and staff, should be dropped. But he said the possibility of being accused for something, cleared of charges, and later having to pay legal fees could be a deterrent for future public servants to get involved, es- pecially on a councillor’s salary. “It would take two years to make $50,000,” he said. “That’s a pretty substantive penalty.” Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell noted Mr. Brenner was found not guilty by the provincial court, and that he acted in accor- dance with City policy at the time when claiming his expenses. Looking through the Hwy. 407 crystal ball By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Highway project man- agers couldn’t explicitly say the Hwy. 407 extension will be completed by 2013, but that’s still the goal. “I don’t have a crystal ball, so I won’t be able to stand up here and say un- equivocally that it will be completed by 2013,” said Dan Remollino, Min- istry of Transportation (MTO) Hwy. 407 project manager. “We are putting a plan in place to try to achieve 2013, but there are a lot of hurdles and chal- lenges.” Mr. Remollino was at the Durham Region finance and administration committee meeting on Nov. 14 to up- date committee on the project, which would see Hwy. 407 extended to Hwy. 35/115. In March 2007 the provincial and federal governments committed to a 2013 completion date for the construc- tion of the extension and the links. As a result, the project team is now work- ing on a revised accelerated sched- ule. According to the schedule, the environmental assessment (EA) will be submitted in the spring of 2009 followed by the detailed design and property acquisition and construction beginning in the spring of 2012.

Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley said the matter is one Mr. Brenner could take to court, not one for Council to address. Mayor Ryan said “We’ve got to put this behind us and get on with the business of this city because that’s what’s most important.” In an interview following Council’s decision, Mr. Brenner said “It was never about the money,” but more about what was allowed to happen. Council in a 4-2 recorded vote opted not to pay the legal bills. Couns. O’Connell and Pickles sup- ported paying. evidence presented during the hear- ing. Meanwhile, students at the Islamic school in north Ajax attended by the three boys are “in shock.” The deceased are from Etobicoke, and Laval, a suburb of Montreal. Atif Din, an administrator at the Jaa- miah Al Uloom Al Islamiyyah Ontario school on Audley Road North, says students “of course are in shock. “We were counselling them person- ally (Sunday),” he said. “We had two services for the deceased. We’re con- soling them.” The accident happened on Sunday, about 10 a.m., when a car travelling south at a high rate of speed left the road, crashed through a fence and rolled several times. One of the de- ceased was ejected from the vehicle while the other was pinned inside the car. The car ended up in a field of the Ajax Riding Academy, south of the school. Melvyn Croft, operations manner of the academy, says the driver “must have been going at a high rate of speed. He landed 200 or 300 feet in the field. “It’s unfortunate this is happening. They do come down here pretty fast,” Mr. Croft adds. This is the first time such a thing has happened at the site, he says. “A few people from the school came down to look around,” he states. “The police were keeping everyone well back.” Audley was closed from Taunton to the Deer Creek golf course, he says. He had horses out in the field where the car landed, but they weren’t in- jured. “We had five horses at the other end of the paddock (field). My girlfriend bugged me to put out a pail of hay. It’s a good thing I didn’t or there would have been horses there,” where the car went through the fence, Mr. Croft says. The driver is a day student who came to the school each morning and went home in the evening, Mr. Din states. “He got the car and picked up his friends. “All three left the property and crashed a few kilometres from the school on Audley Road,” he says. “We have a very strict policy on leav- ing the property. They have to get writ- ten consent from their father. It’s not even allowed a phone call. It has to be in writing from their father. Unfortu- nately in this case, it was different,” Mr. Din says. “We’re still in the consoling stage,” Mr. Din adds. “The next time, if this happens again, the student could be expelled without credits. The Laval youth had been at the school for “more than four years. He had an attachment to pretty much ev- erything. “He’ll be missed greatly,” Mr. Din notes, adding both youth had hoped to “become an Islamic scholar.” Funeral services were held Monday at the local mosques of both boys. derson said the proposed scheduled isn’t something he would endorse. “You and I both know you are not going to build this highway in two years,” Mr. Anderson said. In an interview, he said that he thinks construction should start in 2009. “The Premier said it will be done by 2013 and for them to be finished by then they have to start by 2009,” he said. “To wait another eight or nine years for this to be done, that is unac- ceptable.” A staff report, approved by the com- mittee, recommended the technically recommended route be endorsed in principle as the basis to advance and complete the Hwy. 407 east EA. The Region is urging the MTO to “stay the course” on the revised sched- ule for the completion of Hwy. 407. Ramesh Jagannathan, Durham’s manager of transportation planning, said the committee feels it’s important that the extension not be completed in pieces but as one single project. “There will be a big traffic problem where you complete it if you don’t complete it all at once,” he said in an interview. “They want it completed as one package.” Staff also outlined a number of con- siderations they want MTO to take in mind. “The technically recommended route, in principle, staff think it is good,” Mr. Jagannathan said. Of primary concern is the num- ber of interchanges. In the Hwy. 407 study from the 1990s, he said there were more interchanges and the Re- gion would like to be assured there are enough to service the need. “We are just saying we have not seen any analysis if the fewer interchanges are adequate,” he said. “Last thing you want is to build this nice freeway and not make it easy and convenient to ac- cess.” Also, as MTO gets into the more detailed design work, Mr. Jagannathan said the Region wants to be included in decision making about changes to existing roads. A presentation by MTO and the staff report goes to Regional Council on Nov. 21. From there, the consulting team will look at recommendations from the Region and area municipali- ties. If all goes as scheduled, the EA should be with the minister by the spring of 2009. PICKERING GETS IN THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT IN STYLE ✦ Mayor from page A1 Mayor wants legal bill issue put ‘behind us’ Region wants proof enough interchanges planned Youth not allowed to sit in front seat of any car ✦ Region from page A1 ✦ Youth from page A1 By Jennifer Stone jstone@durhamregion.com CLARINGTON — Allowing a proposed incinerator to go ahead could lead to difficulties with both recruitment and retention of exist- ing physicians, say a number of local doctors. So concerned are they that some have attended council meetings and written letters to politicians. One has gone so far as to say he “will do everything in my power to stop” construction of the proposed incinerator. But, Durham’s Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Robert Kyle, says until a site-specific risk assessment, taking into account factors such as tech- nology and location, is completed, it’s too soon to know what risk could be associated with building an energy-from-waste facility here. Sixteen Clarington doctors, and 43 from across the Region, have signed petitions delineating their disapproval of a Durham-York pro- posal which would deal with re- sidual waste via incineration. The recommended site for the project is located near Courtice Road and Hwy. 401. Initially, the petition only went to Clarington doctors, said Dr. Debra Jefferson, a Newcastle-based fam- ily physician. But then, her practice partner, Dr. Aubrey Kassirer, offered to take it to a wider group of physi- cians, within Lakeridge Health. “It was passed around at a meet- ing,” said Dr. Jefferson. There “a selection of specialists” also signed their disapproval, she said. Dr. Jefferson has spoken out at both local and regional council meetings about her disapproval of incineration and possible associ- ated health impacts. Like Dr. Jefferson, Dr. Benjamin Fuller, the chief and medical direc- tor of Emergency Medicine with Lakeridge Health Corporation, said he has “broad-based” concerns about the potential of siting an in- cinerator here. He has expressed his concerns to Clarington council in the form of a letter. “I am definitely against the building and running of an incin- erator in Durham as a means of dealing with our garbage and will do everything in my power to stop this endeavour,” read the text of his letter. He said he was shocked to hear of the proposal, and has myr- iad concerns. First, he said, there are worries about the potential for greenhouse gasses to be emitted, and the amount of energy required simply to burn the residual waste. A recent trip to Germany left Dr. Fuller with a very different picture of the European view of incinera- tion than Regional officials returned with, after an industry-led tour they participated in. Politicians returned with stories of day cares next to incinerators, and neighbours com- fortable with having waste-burning facilities nearby. However, what Dr. Fuller said he saw was stories of inefficiencies, political problems, and one he’s heard people here quote as “being inefficient ... being closed down ... and millions lost on it.” Many European doctors have been involved in protests against incineration, said Dr. Jefferson. “Our politicians go to Europe and say everyone’s happy ... but there is opposition to it, even in countries where (incineration is) really well-established,” she said, noting it’s far from “radi- cal” for medical doctors to oppose incineration. The Region’s Medical Officer of Health said he has gone to great lengths to ensure a recently-re- leased Generic Human Health Risk Assessment was done properly. That document -- which Dr. Kyle said he had an expert review to ensure it covered all the bases - - concluded risks associated with building an incinerator would be limited. A more site-specific risk as- sessment is also being undertaken, and will look at specifics of site, technology and other factors, said Dr. Kyle. BUY ONE GET ONE FREE * 2 DAYS ONLY!

On Sept. 19 the victim got off a bus near the Pickering Town Centre, and as he was crossing Kingston Road near Glenanna Road, three young men waved him over to join them, police said. When he did so, one of them pulled out a knife and forced the victim to a small treed area. He was then knocked to the ground and sexually assaulted. The first suspect is described as five-foot nine-inches tall, Asian with a dark olive complexion. He’s between 15 and 17 years of age, speaks with an accent, and has black hair that’s thin on the sides and spiked on the top. He was wearing black jeans, a black T-shirt and black shoes. The second is described as five-foot six-inches tall, Asian with a dark olive complexion, between 15 and 17 years of age. He spoke with an accent, had short, black hair and was wear- ing a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants and white running shoes. The third is described as five- foot six-inches tall, Asian, with a dark olive complexion. He’s 15 years old, with black, short, shiny hair with gel on the top, and was also wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants and white running shoes.

The container, with medications that could have caused serious harm to the public, was returned intact, with all medications present and un- opened, reports the Durham Region Health Department. The medications were lost from an EMS ambulance between Uxbridge and Port Perry on Nov. 5. They are used for pain, sedation and the man- agement of overdoses. The container was found by a local resident at the corner of Toronto and Mill streets in Uxbridge, on the same day it was reported missing, noted a health department press release. The location coincides with the route travelled by the ambulance that day. The resident turned in the con- tainer to the Rexall Pharmacy in Ux- bridge. After learning of the search for the container, the pharmacy then contacted Durham Regional Police on Nov. 7. The container and all medications have now been returned to Durham Region EMS. The medications were safely dis- posed of and will not be used for patient care. THE CONVENIENCE I WANT www.chartwellreit.ca 1801 Valley Farm Rd.

Girls in Gear event on Wednes- day. Organizer and Pickering High School math teacher Judy Shanks said 100 girls from 16 Durham high schools attended the event at the Durham school board’s headquarters in Whitby. “The sole purpose is to en- courage girls who have the abil- ity to consider fields of study such as computer science, en- gineering and physics. Any field where enrolment is way down, any physical science,” said Ms. Shanks. Sandy Graham, from the Uni- versity of Waterloo, is a computer science lecturer and a liaison to the high schools. She said female enrolment in computer science is low and declining. “We’re approaching 10 per cent enrolment in computer sci- ence and it’s not just the Univer- sity of Waterloo, we’re seeing it all over North America.” That’s why Waterloo runs a one-week program for 100 Grade 9 and 10 girls every year, encour- aging them to explore computer science. “They come and find out why computer science isn’t boring and isn’t geeky and all geeky guys,” said Ms. Graham. But space is limited and few local high school students can participate, so Ms. Shanks wanted to bring a taste of that program to Durham. The girls participated in a variety of sessions in the morning. In the afternoon they put their math skills to the test with the popular egg drop design challenge, where groups had to figure out a way to pack- age an egg so it could fall several stories without breaking. Nancy Hill, a systems engi- neer for Bombardier Aerospace who works on flight controls and landing gear systems, hosted a hands-on session on design principles. She has first-hand ex- perience of the lack of women in math-related fields. “In an engineering environ- ment, I’m one of a half dozen women in a department of 100 men.” Erin Clews, 14, from Central Collegiate in Oshawa, said Ms. Hill’s session was really fun. “One group got to build a bridge with different parts and the other group had to build a car to go over the bridge,” she said. Ms. Hill said the girls were lively during her session and her goal was to get them interested enough to ask questions. Ms. Shanks said the activities are not only a good way to en- courage students to take an in- terest in math-related fields, but they’re also a good way for them to network with girls with similar interests. And it’s es- sential to reach them at a young age. “By Grade 11, it’s too late, they’ve decided what they’re not going to do,” said Ms. Shanks. “That’s why we’re trying to at- tract girls in Grade 6, 7, 8 and 9.” Corryn Richards, a 13-year- old Grade 9 student at Anderson Collegiate in Whitby, said she likes math and is pretty good at it. “I think it’s important to ex- perience this and get an idea of what I want to do,” she said. Part of Ms. Graham’s session involved translating code. She looked for historical quotes from women for the students. “It’s really hard going through history looking for quotes you can use from women,” she said. “A lot of potential has been lost through history and let’s hope we don’t lose that these days.” Covering the Pickering news scene kcalis@durhamregion.comREPORTER KRISTEN CALISMetroland Durham Region Media Group Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Aluzeh Alibnai from Pickering High School and Jamey Long from Dunbarton High School work with their team putting together their entry in the egg dropping contest.

Wellness talks at the Ajax Public Library For more on this story I spent last weekend in Sudbury. I was not a hos- tage. Remarkably, I went there voluntarily. It’s been some time since I’ve been to the town that nickel built and I can’t say that a whole lot has changed in the interval. It still seems just as hard and grey as the rock it’s built on. Weird too, to be in a place where people very obviously continue to enjoy smoking in elevators. And, as beautiful as the drive up is, and it really is, I couldn’t help but feel as though I were actually driving back through time. Back to somewhere in the Depression era perhaps. Hwy. 69, start- ing around Parry Sound, is littered with the rusting, rot- ting shells of abandoned gas stations, restaurants and all manner of failed businesses. The closer you get to Sud- bury, the thicker these der- elicts become. The Chamber of Commerce may as well erect billboard after billboard shouting the words ‘I’d turn back if I were you’. Having said that, the peo- ple I met in Sudbury couldn’t have been cheerier. There’s something about living in dif- ficult conditions that brings out the best in people, I sup- pose. I’ve visited Newfound- land, for instance, many times and am constantly astounded by how folks without a pot to pee in themselves will happily go out of their way to find one for your use. As I say, to a person, the Nickel-belters were all swell. I awoke Sunday morning with a terribly sore back and called the front desk of the hotel to see if there was a drug store within walking distance. The clerk said there wasn’t, but what did I need? I told him I just wanted to get some Ro- baxacet. He told me not to worry, he had some I could have. I was a little wary, but when you’re shuffling around like Quasimodo after a Yoga class, you’ll take any help that’s offered. The guy seemed normal, so I thanked him and downed the little green and white pills, mentally fighting the nightmarish picture of me lying on my hotel room bed with my dress on backwards and a hickey on my neck. Fortunately, there was only one really odd thing I noticed during my stay. And it wasn’t so much odd as it was disturb- ing. The wait staff in the hotel restaurant, lovely, pleasant girls to be sure, all wore the same kind of ill-fitting, low- rider black pants. Every one of these girls had developed the unique skill of carrying an assortment of trays, glasses, plates and menus with one hand, as the other was invari- ably busy hitching up the back of their trousers. The café was called ‘Bridges’ but a more apt name might have been ‘Cheeks’ or ‘The Crack House’ such was the view I had most of the time. Now, as a man, I don’t nor- mally have too terribly many issues with admiring the fe- male backside. I think it’s one of the seven wonders of the world, frankly, and I rarely tire of it. But when said backside is attached to a child I’m old enough to be a father to, the creepy-factor goes through the roof. At that point I find myself calling for the check and rushing out the door to the nearest confessional. For the rest of the weekend I or- dered room service.

Nickel-belters leave lasting impression on this tourist from the south Neil Crone enter laughing EDITORIAL CLICK AND SAY IN THE COMMUNITY Let’s shoot for 2013 for Hwy. 407 Road needed now, so more delay would be unacceptable T hey may have different ideas about the road to get there but, in the end, our regional leader and a provincial proj- ect manager both believe Hwy. 407 will be extended in 2013. It’s critical that, no matter how it happens, the long awaited and badly needed extension happens within a six-year period. All that’s happened since the toll road opened 11 years ago is that traffic has grown heavier making commutes longer and ensuring just-in-time deliveries become more challenging than ever. While extensions of the 407 have occurred since the road was opened, they’ve never taken that step into the heart of Durham. The current entry point at Brock Road in Pickering has been sta- tus quo for years and it’s high time the highway stretched across the region to Hwy. 115 in Clarington. At a recent presentation at the region, Chairman Roger An- derson and Dan Remollino, Ministry of Transportation Hwy. 407 project manager, had a difference of opinion on the whys and wherefores of how we’d see the extension completed by 2013. Mr. Remollino stressed that the environmental assessment for the extension and links would be presented in 2009 with construction to kick off in 2012. But Mr. Anderson feels the pro- cess must be expedited and wants to see a shovel in the ground by 2009 in order to have the work finished by 2013. Those frustrated by interminable rush-hour delays would be happy to see any action take place so long as there is a rigid plan with fixed timelines and a dedication to hit that 2013 deadline. Of course, the 407 extension is only one part of a wide-rang- ing plan to improve public transportation throughout Durham Region and relieve stress on the overburdened 401. Senior levels of government have to commit to vastly improv- ing GO Transit links, to making Durham Region Transit a better alternative for getting through the region and linking up with other GTA transit organizations. The Province and feds also have to recommit to widening Hwy. 7, and to add lanes to the 401 east of Ajax. Failure to act has a major impact on the southern Ontario economy since so much of it rides on our highways. That 2013 deadline must be met.

Yes No Cast your vote online at infodurhamregion.com Last Week’s Question: Which level of government do you blame for your overall taxes? Total votes: 297 Provincial: 49 % Federal: 39 % Municipal: 12 % Durham should spend as much on recycling as on incineration To the editor: Re: Durham incineration. What is so difficult to un- derstand? You have a business, you create a business plan. You have partners, you get signed commitments. Hey, I know, let’s send council reps on a world tour and not require a detailed report on what they were sent to find out. Or, tell the local residents “who cares about you” we’ll just do it any- way. OK, now that frustration is voiced. Costs of different streams of waste require a look at the whole process. Costs: capital, operational/maintenance and decommissioning. Risks: air/ ground/water pollution and associated health-care costs, transportation, and traffic ac- cidents. The biggest instigator of change is that Michigan dump- ing contract can only be re- newed up to 2020. Trucking to Michigan is definitely the cheapest; however, is that what we tell are children and grand- children? Incineration costs 20 times more than landfill. We need to make sure the technol- ogy we use gets to the tempera- ture that dioxin decomposes, 300 to 400C, and that it is capa- ble of rapidly reducing exhaust so that dioxin cannot reform. What everyone would like to see is that if we put a $1 billion into hiding (landfill, incinera- tion) garbage then we should put $1 billion into waste reduc- tion/recyling. Allan Williams Ajax It was right to strike down adoption disclosure act To the editor: Re: Local group wants adop- tion records open, Oct. 7. My husband and I have two wonderful adopted children, ages 6 and 2. During the adop- tion process we were thorough- ly scrutinized, our family and friends were asked to vouch for our integrity and our financial records were open for inspec- tion. After two long years we were finally approved. We have full parental rights to our young children and are responsible for their protection and well- being. We believe it was right to strike down the Adoption In- formation Disclosure Act. Although I agree that older adoptees who want the records opened should be able to do so, this new law does not allow for the protection of privacy for children or adults who don’t want to be found by their birth family, therefore I have to op- pose this “one size fits all” Act. Doesn’t Diane Ticknor un- derstand the difference be- tween a 60-year-old who wants to find her birth parents to understand her past and a 6- year-old who needs time to be a child. These children come from a history of abuse and ne- glect at the hands of their birth parents, the very people who now want access to these chil- dren for purely selfish reasons. I would openly support an Act stipulating that while our children are young and vulner- able, we, as their parents, could block access to their adoption records. Once they turn 18 that de- cision becomes theirs. Until then, let us do the job the Prov- ince has entrusted us with.

[ Ringette ] Ajax/Pickering petites dump Whitby in final DURHAM — The Ajax/Pickering Carroll Home Improvements Provincial petite major ringette team continued its undefeated run after going 5-0 to capture the gold medal at the recent Oshawa Ringette Tournament. The Ajax/Pickering petite major squad faced Whitby in the gold-medal game and left no one wondering who would receive the precious medal with an impressive 8-1 win. Ajax/Pickering scored a 9-4 win over Whitby in the tournament opener, followed by an equally impressive 8-3 victory over Burlington in their second game. After a slow start in their next game against Cambridge, where it was 2-2 after the first period, the Ajax/ Pickering petites upped their efforts to win 6-2. The local petite major squad re- corded a 4-1 win over Nepean in its final round-robin contest. The defence of Chantal Gauthier, Dana Holstead-Young, Mikhaela Slavin and Lindsay Wallis responded with a solid tournament. Goaltender Sami Pontone provided outstanding work throughout the Os- hawa event, posting a 2.2 goals against average. The ringette squad of 11-year-old players remains undefeated in regular- season play. Laurence Slavin coaches the team, assisted by Paul Battler, Paul Gauthier and Katie Painter. The trainer is Deb Battler and the manager is Denise Pon- tone. [ Hockey ] Ajax High boys off to quick start AJAX — The Ajax High School Rams are off to a solid start to the Durham Region senior boys’ hockey campaign. After going 2-0-1 in the pre-season, with wins over the St. Mary Monarchs and Archbishop Denis O’Connor Char- gers and a tie with the Eastdale Eagles, the Rams started the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) season with a pair of high-scoring victo- ries. Ajax High blanked its north Ajax rival, the J. Clarke Richardson Storm, 8-0. Pat Mayhew and Colin Shortt each notched a hat trick for the Rams. Mark Ramkema and Ryan Brawley added single markers. The Rams also administered a 9-1 drubbing to the Father Leo J. Austin Wildcats of Whitby. Ajax High next plays Henry Street in LOSSA senior boys’ hockey action this week. Dunbarton Spartans win again PICKERING — The Dunbarton High School Spartans senior boys’ hockey team scored its second consecutive win, this one coming at the expense of the Pickering High School Trojans in recent LOSSA action. The Spartans scored a close 3-2 win over the Trojans, sparked by a two- goal effort by Andrew Rhodes. Alex Clements had the other Dun- barton marker. Bobby Bois and Jake Bannister re- plied for the Trojans. Notre Dame girls play undefeated Guelph squad to open OFSAA tournament By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — As a first-time entrant in the provincial high school basketball championships, the Notre Dame Cath- olic Secondary School Lady Cougars hope to guard against a case of the jit- ters in their opener on Thursday morn- ing. The Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) champion Lady Cougars earned the sixth seed in the 16-team Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) ‘AAAA’ Championships, hosted by Windsor’s St. Anne’s Catholic High School from Nov. 22 to 24. The Lady Cougars (35-2 overall re- cord) enter OFSAA on a big high, com- ing off an undefeated 13-0 LOSSA sea- son, including an exciting 50-33 LOSSA championship victory over the Father Leo J. Austin Wildcats of Whitby last Wednesday night. But, with the players having their first taste of provincial- calibre play, keeping them on an even keel is a priority for head coach Rose Booker. “It’s our first time at OFSAA, so as long as the nerves are OK, we’ll be OK. (Top-seeded) Westdale (of Hamilton) and (No. 4 seeded) Father Goetz (of Mississauga) have played at OFSAA before. But, I think we can play with anybody in the tournament.” The Lady Cougars begin OFSAA play Thursday at 10 a.m. against the unseeded John F. Ross CVI Royals of Guelph at St. Anne’s. Booker acknowledged a bad first game could almost sabotage any hope of competing for OFSAA gold. “If we lose (the first game), we would play the No. 1 seed and we want to avoid that,” says Booker, referring to the Westdale Secondary School War- riors. A victory over John F. Ross would probably give the Lady Cougars a date with the unseeded Aurora High School Golden Eagles (25-4), the York Region champs, a team Notre Dame defeated by 20 points in tournament play earlier this season. But, Booker advises looking past the Lady Cougars sixth seed at basketball provincials St. Mary’s Erik Glavic suffers knee injury during upset win in Uteck Bowl PICKERING — The St. Mary’s Uni- versity Huskies may be missing their biggest offensive weapon for this week- end’s Vanier Cup of Canadian collegiate football. Huskies’ starting quarterback Erik Glavic, 21, a star pivot for the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs who led the senior team to multiple Durham Region championship victo- ries earlier this decade, is expected to be on the sidelines rather than in the huddle with St. Mary’s at the Vanier Cup game against the University of Mani- toba Bisons at Toronto’s Rogers Centre on Friday night. Glavic -- a 6-foot, 6-inch sophomore at St. Mary’s -- helped lead the Hus- kies to an upset 24-2 victory over the University of Laval Rouge et Or, the defend- ing Vanier Cup champs, in the Uteck Bowl game last Saturday. He threw for a touchdown and also ran one into the end zone. During the contest, however, he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Glavic has reportedly sought a sec- ond medical opinion on his injured knee but, in all likelihood, won’t be available to start the national champi- onship game. The Pickering resident enjoyed a solid season while at the controls of the Huskies, being one of the key players in helping put them in a position to play for a Vanier Cup title. He led the Atlantic Universities Football Confer- ence (AUFC) in completion percent- age (64.0) and touchdown passes (16), while running for 478 yards and five touchdowns this season. During the Huskies’ close 25-24 vic- tory over the St. Francis Xavier X-Men in the AUFC title game, Glavic had 159 yards rushing and 152 passing for St. Mary’s. Glavic was named the player of the year in Atlantic University Sports (AUS) this season and, as such, is a nominee for the Hec Crighton Trophy, which symbolizes the top university football player in Canada. He was also named to the AUS offensive all-star team at quarterback. In addition to playing on the St. Mary’s football team, Glavic is also a key member of the university’s men’s bas- ketball team. Glavic also played both sports while attending St. Mary CSS in Pickering. Glavic also was the inaugural winner of the Dick MacLean Leadership Award at St. Mary’s University. Glavic’s pursu- ing his Bachelor of Commerce Degree through the Sobey School of Business at the Halifax university. Erik Glavic Pickering quarterback likely to miss Vanier Cup with Huskies Wakefield makes debut a golden one Pickering teen helps national women’s hockey team to gold medal at 4 Nations Cup By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Her international hockey debut with the Canadian nation- al women’s team couldn’t have ended better for Pickering’s Jennifer Wakefield. Wakefield, 18, one of eight new players added to the core group on the national team, helped Canada win their fourth consecutive 4 Nations Cup in Leksand, Sweden with a 2-0 victory over the U.S. recently. Back at the University of New Hamp- shire, playing with the top-ranked Wild- cats women’s hockey team, Wakefield reflected on her gold-medal effort on her first time out with the national team. To capture gold against the rival Amer- icans was almost too good for words. “It’s an awesome feeling. I had the experience at the under-18 nationals winning with Team Ontario, but there’s no comparison when you win a gold at the 4 Nations Cup and represent your country.” The talented centre, a freshman at the University of New Hampshire and an emerging star on the women’s hockey team there, acknowledges the gold- medal final against the Americans was like nothing in hockey she’s ever experi- enced before. “It’s such a huge rivalry. Each team is so competitive wanting to win gold for their home country. You work hard every shift; you don’t want to be the line that allows a goal; you want to be the line that scores the winning goal.” All told, she accounted for a goal in four consecutive Canadian victories at the prestigious international event that draws the U.S., Canadian, Finland and Swedish national squads together each season. Wakefield notes she was in awe of being one of only two teenagers on a Canadian team that’s garnered so much success over the years, including a gold medal at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Torino, Italy. “It’s really good to play on a team that has such great leaders. The girls are amazing. The coaching staff has such great systems in place, so it was easy for me to come in and contribute,” says Wakefield, who centred a group of wing- ers including Katie Weatherston, Gillian Apps and Kelly Bechard. Wakefield says the pace of the inter- national game is extremely fast, but her collegiate experience also helped her cope with the speed of the game. “The game is definitely faster, but my college team in New Hampshire helped me adapt to the higher level of play. Practices are really intense here, so that helped me adjust to the faster game,” says Wakefield, who recently earned conference player-of-the-month hon- ours for October. Being part of a winning tradition in women’s hockey at UNH has been a great part of attending the university on a full, four-year athletic scholarship. The Wildcats leapt up from the No. 2 spot in the nation to the top-ranked team after sweeping the University of Wiscon- sin Badgers in back-to-back games last weekend. “It’s always nice to contribute, espe- cially when you’re winning,” says Wake- field, who has seven goals and three assists in nines games with UNH. She’s also enjoying college life, taking courses that will culminate in a teach- ing career in physical education. Being a Canadian on campus has also been a source of amusement for her, noting there’s still pre-conceived notions about Canada that still make the rounds in the states. “You definitely notice there’s a differ- ence between Canadians and Ameri- cans. It’s very cool being from Canada. People are interested in how you live and there are the stereotypes about how cold it is and using dogsleds. Teachers there are interested in Canadian stuff. It’s neat being a Canadian in a foreign country.” Wakefield says her goal is to be back on the Canadian squad, but a lot will depend on her progress and develop at university. “I have to continue to play well with New Hampshire to get a crack at wearing the red and white again,” she says.

The 10th-seeded Pumas -- who knocked off the undefeated Sinclair Secondary School Celtics in the Dur- ham Region championship game in a five-set thriller -- will play against 19 other league-winning schools at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSSA) championships, hosted by Rick Hansen Secondary School. The Pumas compete in Pool ‘D’ with the fourth-seeded Saunders Secondary School Sabres of London, seventh-seeded Bear Creek Second- ary School Kodiaks of Barrie, the host and 13th-seeded Rick Hansen Secondary School Storm of Missis- sauga and the 17th-seeded Water- down District High School Warriors. Earning the No. 1 seed overall is the Glebe Collegiate Institute Gry- phons of Ottawa. They’ll play in Pool ‘A’ with Durham Region’s other entry, the 16th-seeded Sinclair Celtics of Whitby. Pool play goes Thursday and Friday, with playoffs beginning on Sat- urday. The Pumas must finish in the top two in their pool to qualify for the quarter-final playoff round Saturday morning. The gold-medal game goes Satur- day at 7 p.m. at Rick Hansen Second- ary School. Pine Ridge Pumas senior boys’ team set for OFSAA volleyball championships in Mississauga John F. Ross Royals would be a big mistake, as every team is a champion in their own right at OFSAA. “I don’t know anything about them, but it’s a huge game for us,” she says. One fact that is known is the Central Western Ontario Secondary Schools Association (CWOSSA) champion Roy- als enter OFSAA with a perfect 14-0 mark in CWOSSA District X play. Booker says she’s satisfied with her team’s sixth seed at OFSAA, saying ei- ther the five or six slot among the eight teams seeded is where she thought her team would be placed. “We needed to play more of the west teams, so that’s probably why (Notre Dame was seeded sixth),” she explains. Depending on the outcome of their first-round contest, the Lady Cougars will meet either the Aurora High Gold- en Eagles or the top-seeded Westdale SS Warriors (39-3) in Game 2, also on Thursday at either 3:30 or 5 p.m. Other seeded teams include: No. 2 Waterloo Collegiate Vikings (37-6); No. 3 St. Anne’s Saints of Windsor (32- 5); No. 5 St. Thomas More Knights of Hamilton (21-7); No. 7 St. Marguerite D’Youville Panthers of Brampton (24- 6); and, the No. 8 St. Basil the Great College School of Toronto (18-1). The OFSAA tournament culminates in the gold-medal game on Saturday at St. Anne’s at 6 p.m. ✦ Lady from page B1 Lady Cougars begin provincials play Thursday FOLLOW ALL OUR BLOGGERS:Visit durhamregion.typepad.comFOLLOW ALL OUR BLOGGERS:Visit durhamregion.typepad.com Uxbridge painter awarded once again in Ajax art exhibition By Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Daniel Colby’s faces have once again wowed the judges at the PineRidge Arts Council’s juried art exhibition. The Uxbridge painter’s portrait, ‘Adli, twice’, took top prize in the ninth annual show, the second time in three years he’s been so honoured. As well, Colby’s portrait, ‘Nichola’, received an honourable mention. In 2006, he won the Mayor’s award and, in 2004, Colby received the Pickering Rotary Club Award -- a fair showing for somebody who’s only been paint- ing for about seven years. He’s interested in faces, and the fleeting nature of them as people age and, perhaps, makes changes to them themselves. In particular, Colby has been interested in painting younger people, on the verge of adulthood. Friends are out of the question as subjects because, he says, there would be too many e xpecta- tions. “I’ve al- ways been drawn to- ward figu- rative art and narra- tive art so one of my main interests has always been to draw or paint faces,” he says. “I want to capture what I see as inter- esting and beautiful and I’m drawn to the faces of teenagers and young adults because they’re in transition. There’s a unique and fleeting beauty to faces in transition, like in a young man’s face, when you can see traces of both a boy and a man. I’m inter- ested in the transient quality of youth and its dichotomies of simplicity and complexity, awkwardness and beau- ty, and of confidence and vulnerabil- ity. And I’m interested in youth as a time of discovery.” Of the subject of his award-win- ning oil painting, Colby notes, “(Ad- li’s) just a local guy from Uxbridge, not a close friend or anything.” Colby explains he was with others picking up some work for a show when Adli was mentioned as some- body whom he might be interested in painting. As in other portraits, Colby invited his subject to a photo shoot and afterwards examined the photos, choosing one on which to base the portrait. As for Nichola, he notes she is the daughter of another artist in the show, Oshawa painter Lynn Bishop. He calls his series of young faces ‘Bloom’, which speaks to the process of emerging and changing. While he has spent more time in the past painting landscapes from annual trips he makes to the east coast, Colby has of late been spend- ing more time painting faces, and perhaps expanding his range to in- clude more mature faces as well. “So far, my main interest has been younger faces, not to say that I wouldn’t be interested in painting more mature faces,” he says, noting he does commissioned portraits. Colby’s work can be seen at his website, www.danielcolby.com. There were 180 entries to the PRAC show, and among the winners was Erin Harrison of Pickering, who re- ceived both the Best in Youth and the Mayor’s Youth awards. She’s been painting and drawing “since I was very, very young,” and says her parents have al- ways been very sup- portive. The Best in Youth Award was for her oil painting of an aunt. “A lot of my family wants some- thing done, and she of everybody wanted it done the most,” she notes. Harrison’s Mayor’s Youth Award was for her charcoal collage. In both cases, she says they are the first works she has created in the respective mediums. The Dunbarton High School grad- uate attends Sheridan College where she studies animation. “After I finish at Sheridan, they kind of have a big ceremony and show everybody’s final films,” Har- rison says, adding representatives from major studios such as Dream- works attend with job offers in hand. “Hopefully if I have a good film I’ll get a job,” she says. If that career path doesn’t work out, she hopes to get into illustration or design. HERONGATE DINNER THEATRE 2885 Altona Rd., Pickering www.herongate.com GREAT FOOD! GREAT SHOWS! GREAT PRICE!

As President and CEO of Veridian, I would like to assure you that Veridian does not engage in door-to-door solicitation. Occasionally, an authorized Veridian representative or contractor will visit your home to conduct meter maintenance or for scheduled services. If you have any concerns or questions about the identity of individuals coming to your door, please feel free to contact us at (905) 420-8440. We advise all our customers to ask for proper identification of any individuals who solicit electricity services at the door or who may be representing themselves as Veridian employees. Also, remember that you are under no obligation to provide billing information to anyone, regardless of which company they represent. By providing this confidential personal information, you may find yourself inadvertently committing to a sales contract. It would be misleading to compare retail contract prices simply by summarizing all charges on your bill to determine your present total cost per kilowatt-hour. That’s because there are other charges in the bill not included in the retail contract offer. Veridian does not compete with electricity retailers and does not profit from the portion of your electricity bill indicated as “Electricity.” Electricity retailers are licensed by the Ontario Energy Board. For information regarding accepted electricity industry business practices contact the Ontario Energy Board toll-free at 1-877-632-2727 or www.oeb.gov.on.ca.

Port Perry takes boys’ crown in straight games PICKERING — The Port Perry High School Rebels scored a big win over the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs at the junior boys’ ‘AAAA’ volleyball championships in Whitby on Wednesday night. The Rebels won in straight games over the Monarchs, 25-21, 25-16, to take home their first volleyball title at the ‘AAAA’ level in the school’s his- tory. Rebels’ coach Gord Baxter notes the key for his team was the passing game, which set up some booming returns at the net. “The guys played well and they passed the ball well and hitting the ground. That was the difference. We had a lot of guys who were hitting the ball on the ground and playing good defence,” says Baxter. “We didn’t know (St. Mary) at all. We didn’t know what we would be ex- pecting. The guys really stepped it up today; they did well.” The Rebels also relied heavily on a big height advantage at the net sup- plied by 6-foot, 7-inch Craig Lush, who enjoyed a solid game. Baxter says Lush has been a work in progress throughout the current vol- leyball campaign, and came into his own in the championship game. “He’s come a long, long way this year.” Monarchs’ Richard Abbott, the most valuable player for St. Mary in the title game, says it was especially hard to de- fend against Lush whose height posed a big problem at the net. “When you got a guy who can hit it straight down like that it’s hard to get the pass deep enough. It was hard to get our passes through,” says Abbott. Although disappointed with the loss, St. Mary coach Mary Powers was happy with the way her team has battled all season. The team contains no club players -- with hard work in practice and in games paving the way to their success this season, beating Pickering High in the quarter-finals and Sin- clair in the semifinal to advance to the LOSSA final. “I’m so proud of these boys. They’re great athletes and great to work with,” she says. Jon Brouse was Port Perry’s MVP of the final. Monarchs team members are Rich- ard Abbott, Kyle Boham, Andrew Garel, Cameron Halsall, Graham Holland, Peter Ricciardi, Anthony Iordanou, Josh Koenig, Nick Romano, Mitchell Raine and Brendon Tyler. Lynn Prebble and Shannon Vanrhee also coach the Monarchs. AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo Champs of the junior gridiron PICKERING — The St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs junior football team captured the championship at the Lake On- tario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) junior football final in Oshawa Saturday after downing the Pickering High School Trojans of Ajax 28-6. It was the first junior football title ever at the Pickering school. Dillon Campbell led the way for the Monarchs with three touchdowns, followed by Kurlan Cadet with one. Dexter Damboise added a two-point convert and George Meszaros kicked two converts. St. Mary advances to the quarter-finals of the Ontario Regional Junior Championship playdowns against Crestwood High School in Peterborough today, Wednesday, Nov. 21. St. Mary runners-up at LOSSA junior volleyball championships Richard Abbott Pine Ridge Pumas win senior football ‘B’ crown PICKERING — The Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas senior football team won its second consecutive ‘B’ crown in Oshawa on Sunday.
