FREE CONSULTATION
Durham residents
continue to fight
selection process
By Jennifer Stone
jstone@durhamregion.com
NEWMARKET — Despite pro-
tests to the contrary from a number
of Durham citizens, Courtice is the
best place to build an incinerator,
says a joint Durham York commit-
tee.
Durham council will now be
asked to approve that recommen-
dation, as will council in York Re-
gion.
But, the site selection process,
done by the Regions’ consultants
was flawed, said delegations to
council, many of whom also main-
tained incineration is not the way
to go.
The report which led to the Cour-
tice site being named the preferred
location was a “severely flawed re-
port that does not stand up to any
kind of scrutiny,” said Newcastle
resident Wendy Bracken, one of
a slew of Durham residents who
made the trek from Durham to
Newmarket for the Tuesday meet-
ing. About 10 delegates spoke out
against the plan.
Specifically, said Ms. Bracken,
there are issues in terms of how air
quality was judged.
“The differences between the
Courtice and East Gwillimbury air-
sheds are extreme,” she said.
But those considerations will be
made later in the process, when
more site specific studies are done,
the committee heard. Those stud-
ies can’t be completed until both
site and technology have been
determined. Consultants hired by
Durham and York recommended
several months ago the Durham-
owned lands near Hwy. 401 and
Courtice Road as the best site for
the proposed facility.
The recommendation will go to
both regions’ councils for approval.
If approved the recommendation
will be submitted to the Ministry
of Environment as part of the envi-
ronmental assessment that is cur-
rently underway. Final approval of
the project is up to the Province.

Time to talk about

DURHAM — Local MPs have varying opin-
ions about whether to extend the Canadian
mission in Afghanistan beyond February
2009.
Liberals Mark Holland (Ajax-Pickering)
and Pickering-Scarborough East’s Dan Mc-
Teague, say Canada has been doing an inor-
dinate amount of fighting compared to other
NATO countries.
Since then, Canadian forces have done
a “disproportionate amount of the heavy
lifting. It’s time for another NATO country
to take up the heavy lifting,” Mr. Holland
stated.
Saying that Canada has “punched above
our weight,” Mr. McTeague said it’s time to
focus on rebuilding. He adds that doesn’t
mean Canadians can’t be involved in mili-
tary operations in the future.
“It’s time other countries ponied up and
shouldered some of the responsibility,” he
says. “Canadians are overwhelmingly in
support of our troops and the stellar efforts
they’ve put in.”
However, Oshawa MP Colin Carrie, a Con-
servative, said he would like to remind the
Liberal opposition to reflect on their role in
this mission and that Canada “got involved
in the conflict without any debate in parlia-
ment.
“Once you get into these things it’s im-
portant to follow them through,” said Mr.
Carrie.
He said it is important to reflect on the
improvements in the quality of life in Af-
ghanistan since the mission started.
Mr. Carrie said the mission has meant
significant costs to Canada’s military opera-
tions and his condolences go out to families
of soldiers who have died as a result of the
mission.
“But Canadians believe in women’s rights,
children’s rights, access
to health care... and
standing up for what is
right.”
Fellow Conservative
MP Jim Flaherty said
Canada has to sup-
port United Nations
and NATO in interna-
tional efforts like this
mission as “a matter of
principle.
“Canada is not a
country that turns its back on people when
they are in need,” said Mr. Flaherty.
An Angus-Reid poll released Jan. 1 showed
71 per cent of Canadians agreed with the
statement: “Canada is shouldering too much
of the burden of NATO’s mission in Afghani-
stan.”
Canada’s combat
mission is scheduled
to end in February
2009, when the forces
are expected to move
into a reconstruction
role.
For Mr. Holland,
the focus should be
on helping to rebuild
the economy. “Over-
whelmingly, the focus
has been on military
operations,” he said.
“I see our role after 2009 not on the mili-
tary and not on fighting,” but on reconstruc-
tion and rehabilitation, he says. “The com-
bative side -- we’ll be finished with that after
2009.”
Mr. Holland adds the “mission has fallen
deeply off track,” noting “over 50 per cent of
the Afghan economy is drug related. It’s not
a war on terror but a drug war.”
A debate on the mission is to held in the
House of Commons next month. At the end
of the month John Manley and his commis-
sion will release a report outlining sugges-
tions for the direction of the mission. Mr.
Flaherty said he and other MPs have a re-
sponsibility to read the commission’s report
carefully before making decisions about the
fate of the mission.
Conservative Bev Oda (Durham), who is
minister for international co-operation, is
currently travelling out of the country and
was unavailable for comment.

PICKERING — Leaving Afghanistan now
would be to “kiss off” the 76 Canadian sol-
diers who have died in the conflict, says a
veteran Canadian soldier.
Jan de Vries says, “It’s unfortunate these
accidents happen. When it happens in a
battle zone, it’s even worse. It’s the loss of
a couple of fellas you depend on for your
team.”
Mr. de Vries, a member of the 1st Cana-
dian Parachute Battalion during the Second
World War, was speaking on the deaths over
the weekend of two more soldiers who died
when the vehicle they were riding in rolled
over.
“We’ve lost 76. Do we kiss them off and say
‘good luck’?” he asks.
He adds that before Canada leaves Af-
ghanistan, “we’ll lose more.”
“I’ve talked to a number... who have come
back and they can’t wait to do another tour.
We have to back them with the best weapons
we can get and finish the job. We can’t kiss
off 76. To me, that’s unacceptable,” Mr. de
Vries states.
“Once we’ve committed, we’ve got to fol-
low through.”
One woman approached him and said
“we should turn the other cheek and there
should be no more wars. How do you get the
other person to say that, no more wars,” he
says.
He suggests that “Canadians are com-
placent. They think we’re peacekeepers. To
keep the peace between two warring fac-
tions, you could get your head shot off.”

DURHAM — A repatriation ceremony is
scheduled for Wednesday afternoon for two
Canadian soldiers killed last weekend in Af-
ghanistan. The Hercules C-130 aircraft car-
rying the bodies is scheduled to land at 3:30
p.m. tomorrow.
The entourage will pass through Nor-
thumberland around 4:30 p.m. before reach-
ing the eastern edge of Durham Region at
approximately 4:45 p.m.
Snow was falling in Kandahar this morning
as a ramp ceremony was held. Two thou-
sand Canadian and international troops at-
tended the ceremony for Corporal Éric Labbé
and Warrant Officer Hani Massouh. They
died Sunday when a light armoured vehicle
overturned. Both soldiers were with the 2nd
Battalion, Royal 22nd Regiment based in Val-
cartier, Quebec.

Repatriation ceremony Wednesday
Man’s burned body
found in rural
Pickering
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Four men with
ties to an outlaw biker gang have
pleaded guilty to offences ranging
from murder to assault in connec-
tion with the brutal slaying of a
man whose burned remains were
found more than two years ago in
rural Pickering.
The men received sentences
ranging from life to a little over
three years in custody for their
varying levels of involvement in the
killing. Cameron Acorn and Robert
“Bobby” Quinn, both of Keswick,
Randy Brown of Jackson’s Point
and Pierre Aragon of Oakville all
admitted in Superior Court Mon-
day that they took part in the slay-
ing of 35-year-old Shawn Douse in
December 2005 at a house owned
by another biker in Keswick.
All have been identified by
Durham police as members or
prospects of the Bandidos, a gang
assumed to be defunct since the
widely-publicized slaughter of
eight members in 2006.
One of those murder victims,
Paul Sinopoli of Sutton, was in-
volved in the assault on Mr. Douse,
court heard; the murder took place
in a Keswick home owned by Jamie
Flanz, another Bandidos member
killed near Shedden in the Lon-
don, Ont., area.
Police have said there is no con-
nection between Mr. Douse’s kill-
ing and the Shedden slaughter.
Mr. Brown, 36, pleaded guilty
to second-degree murder in the
death of Mr. Douse, while Mr.
Acorn, 27, and the 28-year-old Mr.
Quinn pleaded to manslaughter.
Mr. Aragon, 26, pleaded guilty to
aggravated assault.
All four men were originally
charged with second-degree mur-
der.
Mr. Brown pleaded guilty to the
murder charge because it was he
who stuffed a gag in the victim’s
mouth; the gag, along with the fe-
rocious beating and acute cocaine
intoxication were cited as contrib-
uting causes to Mr. Douse’s death.
Mr. Brown received an auto-
matic life sentence and will not
be eligible to apply for parole until
2016. Mr. Acorn and Mr. Quinn
were both sentenced to nine years,
while Mr. Aragon received a seven-
year term. Mr. Quinn and Mr. Ara-
gon were both given credit for a
little over three years spent in pre-
trial custody.
Justice Edwin Minden heard an
agreed statement of facts in which
the Crown alleged Mr. Douse, a
drug user and dealer, had angered
the bikers by selling cocaine and
using drugs with a sister of Mr.
Acorn’s girlfriend, who was in dan-
ger of breaching the terms of her
bail.
When they learned Mr. Douse
was in possession of a significant
amount of cash and three ounces
of cocaine they lured him to a
house on Hattie Court in Keswick
early on Dec. 7, 2005, having a
woman call and arrange a drug
deal.
When he arrived at the house
Mr. Douse was set upon and beat-
en savagely, Justice Minden heard;
after the attack blood drenched
a foyer and stairs leading to the
basement, where blood was spat-
tered on walls and the ceiling.
The assailants ignored Mr.
Douse’s screams during the pro-
longed attack, court heard. After
the killing Mr. Douse’s body,
wrapped in sheets and a sleeping
bag, was driven to a field near
Concession 7 and the York-Dur-
ham Line in rural Pickering where
it was dumped and set ablaze.
The body was discovered Dec. 8,
2005, by a resident walking dogs.

slaying of drug dealer
Confusion
over toy
donations
Resident not happy after
seeing toys still at store
after Christmas
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
AJAX — When Rhonda McLeod
went shopping to pick out a toy she
donates yearly to a child in need, she
envisioned a five-year-old girl and
bought her a doll. She then put it in
the Salvation Army bin at the front of
Zellers in Ajax.
But, when she returned to the store
on Dec. 30 to return another item, she
was disappointed to see her toy, along
with others, still in the bin.
“I paid $30 with tax and everything
and I chose it,” she said. “I didn’t just
grab it and throw it in. I decided which
age group I would buy for.”
Ms. McLeod doesn’t recall seeing
an advertisement for a toy drive at
Zellers in Ajax, but she remembered
the Toy Mountain at the Pickering
Town Centre near Zellers and chose
to buy one anyway. When she asked
a cashier where the donation box was,
she pointed to the Salvation Army
bin.
A phone call to the Ajax-Pickering
Salvation Army had administrator
at Hope Community Church, Grant
Waddell, over in a hurry to collect
the goods. Dick Crosby, co-ordinator
of community services for the Ajax-
Pickering Salvation Army, told the
News Advertiser he didn’t give Zellers
in Ajax a toy-collection bin for the
holidays this season, but had provided
them with a box for a staff collection
of food. He doesn’t know how the bin
got to the front of the store, but he’s
thankful, however, for the donations
to the food bank.
“That’s probably why they were
missed in that I was expecting a call
from them after Christmas with food
that would go into our normal supply
- not toys at all,” he said.
Mr. Waddell explained there was
only a handful of toys among the food
items, including a soccer ball. But Mr.
Waddell did pick up the donations
Friday and the food items were to be
given out along with the food items
at the Salvation Army Food Bank in
Ajax. Mr. Crosby explained the toys
will be donated to Toy Mountain’s
2008 Christmas drive. Ms. McLeod is
happy the situation is sorted out, but
says she’ll be “more careful next year.
“I’m glad it’s been picked up then
by someone,” she said. “I’m just sorry
that my toy didn’t get to someone for
Christmas.”

DURHAM — The majority of
school community councils in
Durham Region recruit their
members voluntarily rather than
by election, says the author of this
year’s survey on the councils.
Only five per cent of schools in
the region opted for elections to
choose parent representatives at
the beginning of this school year
last September, John Bowyer told
Durham District School Board
members at Monday night’s meet-
ing.
“This is a good sign because it
shows most parents want to help
at their children’s schools in a
communal way rather than view-
ing it as a political position. Most
schools which have elections do
so in order to keep down num-
bers because they have so many
who want to volunteer,” said Mr.
Bowyer, superintendent of educa-
tion for Ajax.
Community councils function as
forums for parents to publicly air
their concerns and attempt to re-
solve them in collaboration with
school staff and community repre-
sentatives.
Only nine per cent of elementary
schools in the region chose their
council chairs through election
while 21 per cent of high schools
did that.
Mr. Bowyer said the average
school has 13-to-15 parent repre-
sentatives, although some small
schools have as few as one to five
and some large schools as many
as 21-to-25 parents on the com-
munity councils. Parents make up
the bulk of the councils, which
are also comprised of teacher rep-
resentatives, school staff who are
not teachers, and members of the
local business community.

SEATON COMMUNITY MASTER ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICING PLAN (MESP)
MUNICIPAL ENGINEERS ASSOCIATION CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE #2
CITY OF PICKERING
THURSDAY JANUARY 10TH , 2008
In May of 2006 the Central Pickering Development Plan (CPDP) was approved by the Province of
Ontario under the Ontario Planning and Development Act. Seaton is the urban community identifi ed in
the CPDP. The policies within the CPDP establish the need for the preparation of a Master Environmental
Servicing Plan (MESP) prior to development occurring within the Seaton Community. North Pickering
Community Management Inc. is conducting the Seaton Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP)
with assistance from the City of Pickering and the Province of Ontario.
The Seaton MESP will address the following components needed for development to occur, as identifi ed
in the CPDP:
• Identify requirements for water source protection;
• Conduct a water balance on a subwatershed basis;
• Conduct an erosion sensitivity analysis for receiving watercourses;
• Promote maintenance and enhancement of the fi sheries;
• Prepare a stormwater management master plan;
• Confi rm municipal service requirements;
• Confi rm the major transportation system requirements;
• Identify the number and general location of major community facilities;
• Provide preliminary servicing cost estimates for infrastructure;
• Identify an interconnected network of pedestrian, bicycle and multi-use trails; and,
• Identify existing and proposed major utility requirements.
Municipal Engineers Association Class Environmental Assessment (MEA Class EA)
The MESP shall fulfi ll the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association Class Environmental
Assessment (MEA Class EA). At a minimum the MESP will address Phases 1 and 2 of the MEA Class EA
for all non-Regional road, water and wastewater projects.
Possible methods of implementing the proposed projects will be evaluated based on the effects of the
following:
• Engineering and Public Safety • Natural Environment
• Social/Cultural Environment • Economic Environment
It should be noted that the Region of Durham will be conducting a Class Environmental Assessment
relating to the Regional Services and Roads necessary for the development of the Seaton Community.
Public Consultation
Public input during the planning process of this project is encouraged. Three (3) Public Information
Centres have been planned, with the fi rst having taken place on June 27th, 2007. These Information
Centres will provide additional information and answer your questions regarding the project prior to
completion of the study and selection of a preferred solution.
You are invited to drop in to the second of three (3) Public Information Centres:
• Thursday January 10th - 6:30 to 9:00 p.m.
• Council Chambers – City of Pickering Municipal Building
• One the Esplanade (Opposite Pickering Town Centre)
This Information Centre will provide a summary of the existing conditions within the study area with
respect to surface water and groundwater resources, and terrestrial and aquatic habitats. It will also
provide information pertaining to the proposed transportation system, stormwater management plan
and required community facilities within the Seaton Community.

DURHAM — The final numbers are in and
more drivers were charged during the Dur-
ham Regional Police’s Festive RIDE program
this year than over the same period one year
ago. A total of 113 drivers were charged with
impaired driving over the seven-week pro-
gram, topping last year’s tally of 101.
The seventh and final week of the pro-
gram consisted of two nights focused on
Pickering, north Durham, Whitby and Os-
hawa. Of the 350 vehicles stopped by RIDE,
61 drivers were given roadside breath tests.
Twelve drivers received 12-hour suspen-
sions and were given warnings, while eight
people were charged solely for drinking and
driving offences. Three drivers breached the
G1/G2 no alcohol condition and 18 others
were charged with various highway traffic
act offences.
“Our position will not change. If you
choose to drink and drive in Durham Re-
gion, we will do everything in our power to
catch you and prosecute you. Safety for our
communities is paramount,” said Chief Mike
Ewles.
Chief says police have no tolerance for impaired drivers

We need full
discussion
on Afghan
mission
A s the bodies of another two Cana-
dian soldiers make their way down
the Highway of Heroes, it’s time to
reflect while we mourn the deaths of two
more killed in Afghanistan.
With the clock ticking away on our com-
mitment to the Afghan mission -- our
deployment is scheduled to end in Febru-
ary 2009 -- it’s high time Canadians had
a full and frank debate about whether we
should extend the mission or have the
troops return home in 13 months.
Given the precarious minority govern-
ment status of the ruling Conservatives
and the likelihood of a federal election
sometime this calendar year, the issue will
surely come up. But that election could
come well into the year and, given the
lengthy timelines needed to plan and pre-
pare for a major overseas military mission,
we’ll need to hash out what we will do well
before the fall.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper struck
an advisory committee to provide him
with feedback on all questions regarding
the mission. Headed up by former Liberal
cabinet minister John Manley, the com-
mittee is scheduled to report back to the
prime minister in the near future.
However, such a question is too much
a matter of national importance to be left
to a hand-picked, unelected commit-
tee to decide. It needs the attention and
consideration of the representatives of
the people, parliamentarians, in an open,
public forum. That’s why when Parliament
resumes the future of the Afghanistan mis-
sion should top the agenda.
The questions are simple, the answers
not so much. The key question is this: Is
the mission accomplishing its goals? If
those goals are to fight the Taliban and
restore order and democratic government
to Afghanistan, is Canada and NATO suc-
ceeding?
Ultimately, for most Canadians, the
question is whether the 76 troops (and
counting) who have died in Afghanistan
have truly helped that troubled part of the
world become a better place? If the answer
is clearly affirmative, it only makes sense to
extend the mission for another two years.
If the answer is uncertain or negative,
there will be a push to pull out our troops
when the deadline comes. Either way, it’s
important for this country to avoid politics
with such a vital issue and come up with
the right answer. And that can only happen
through open discussion.

Durham councillors
should support Brenner
To the editor:
Re: Maurice Brenner
As a vice-president of Pickering and Ajax
Citizens Together (PACT), I came to recog-
nize Maurice Brenner as one of the most
effective and dedicated councillors in the
Ajax and Pickering area and on Regional
Council.
I also wish to support the appointment
of a Regional independent Integrity Com-
missioner as proposed by Durham Region’s
Commissioner of Human Resources.
On Nov. 19, the City of Pickering rejected
Mr. Brenner’s claim for legal expenses
that resulted from their totally unjustified
complaint initiated against him in 2003,
and again in 2006 just before the municipal
election.
Pickering staff investigated the com-
plaints in 2003 and found them to be with-
out merit. Yet, in 2006, acting on informa-
tion from the mayor, a complaint was filed
with Durham Regional Police that resulted
in charges that were dismissed in 2007 fol-
lowing a trial. The conduct of the City of
Pickering in how it dealt with the matter
of his legal costs and the possible breach
of Mr. Brenner’s privacy is something that
everybody should be concerned about. If
ever there was a case that would support
the Region assuming a lead role through an
Integrity Commissioner this one is it.
The City is failing in the obligation
imposed by the findings of innocence by
a court by refusing to compensate Mr.
Brenner and to help to restore his reputa-
tion.
Any citizen, in any community, could fall
under the same type of suspicion and suffer
the same unjustified damage to their repu-
tation with the resulting cost, and humilia-
tion, were they to stand for election.
Since unjustified charges could be
brought against any public official, all Dur-
ham Regional councillors should stand by
their former colleague and press the City of
Pickering to offer a just settlement to him.

Election to council
as a contract
To the editor:
It seems to me all the controversy sur-
rounding councillors giving themselves pay
raises during their tenure in office could be
avoided by considering election to office
as a binding contract between the council
and the voting public. The first part of the
contract is already enacted legislation. The
term in office cannot exceed four years.
As for compensation, the outgoing
council can put before the electorate all
the factors necessary for attracting com-
petent candidates and the remuneration
that would be paid. Included would be a
cost-of-living compensation based on any
escalation not foreseen at the beginning of
the term.
All these pertinent factors would be in
writing and form a binding contract over
the life of the time in office.
If, at the end of the term, council felt that
compensation was out of line with prevail-
ing factors, they could set the facts before
the electorate for their judgment.
Then, this would form the basis for the
next term in office. A candid review, of this
kind, would eliminate unseemly practices
that the public considers unfair and even
sneaky once the term of office is under way.

Full-day kindergarten
is nothing new
To the editor:
Parents concerned about the effect of
full-day kindergarten on their child need to
remember that it has existed for a number
of years. Any school where the students are
bused has full-day kindergarten. The buses
do not run at noon. These children appear
to have managed quite well.
Funding is a more pressing concern
regarding full-time kindergarten, namely
all day every day. This would require
double the number of teachers and class-
rooms. If the funds are not available for this
we will not have a true full-time program.
More likely it will be an amalgamation of
kindergarten and day care.
Another thing to consider is that while it
may be voluntary, can you really allow your
child to go half time when almost every-
body else in the class may be full time? He
or she would have a lot of catching up to do
in Grade 1.

Canadian universities get ready
to admit thousands of fall students
By Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — When it comes
to getting into university, grades
are key, but many programs are
increasingly offering students
the opportunity to get beyond
that and show who they are as a
person.
“The reasoning is it’s an
academic world. There’s lots of
potential indicators of student
success, but the key one is grades,”
said George Granger, executive
director of the Ontario University
Application Centre.
The universities themselves
ask students for supplementary
information. “There’s not a
universal approach on that.
Some programs require it, some
programs allow it as an option,”
said Mr. Granger, adding
that requests for additional
information will go to the student
directly from the university.
That can range from scheduling
an audition for programs like
music or submitting a portfolio
for programs like journalism or
visual arts.
At the University of Toronto
(U of T), director of admissions
Merike Remmel said students
receive additional information
about what the school requires
with the acknowledgement that
their application was received.
Several programs, such as the
faculty of physical education and
health, ask for non-academic
information related to the field of
study. Though general arts and
science programs don’t, colleges
within the university, like Trinity
College do.
“It wouldn’t be requested if
it wasn’t going to be read and
considered and it would only be
used to strengthen the application,”
said Ms. Remmel.
The key is to get all
supplementary information
to the universities in a timely
manner as applications won’t be
assessed until all the information
is in, she said.
At the University of Ontario
Institute of Technology, much of
the decision is based on grades,
but senior admissions officer
Becky Dalton said students can
contact the university if they face
extenuating circumstances such
as a death in the family.
“We can take something like that
into consideration when making
admissions decisions,” she said.
The U of T also considers
extenuating circumstances or
strong extracurriculars within
a certain range. “If someone is
weak academically, nothing in the
supplementary form is going to
give us the confidence that the
student will succeed,” said Ms.
Remmel. And even with schools
that don’t factor in additional
information, getting involved
throughout the high school
years may still pay off.
“We look at that when it comes
to scholarship applications,” said
Ms. Dalton.
Beyond the gr des
By Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — With the Ontario University
Application Centre’s (OUAC) Jan. 9
application deadline for secondary students,
many are in for a nail-biting spring as they
wait for offers to come in.
For undergraduate programs last year,
the OUAC received 361,000 applications for
the province’s 19 universities from 81,000
applicants, said the centre’s executive director
George Granger.
The number of applications per school
varies by the size of the school. The
University of Ontario Institute of Technology
gets about 6,000 per year, with 1,500 new
students attending in the fall, while the
University of Toronto receives more than
40,000 applications. At U of T 11,000 first-
year undergraduates started in the fall of
2007. When students will receive an offer of
admission depends on the school.
“We’ll start sending offers out in late
January, all the way into the summer,” said
Becky Dalton, senior admissions officer
for UOIT. The majority of the offers go out
between January and May.
The U of T waits until late February. Even
then, only about 10 per cent of applicants
receive an offer, said Merike Remmel, assistant
registrar and director of admissions. Both say
it’s not too late if students haven’t yet applied.
However, if they wait too long, students may
be out of luck with popular programs.
Mr. Granger said if students accept an
offer, they can change their minds.
“If a student accepts today an offer from
University X, and six weeks later they get
an offer from University Y, which they like
better, they can accept that offer through
us online and that cancels the X offer.”
When Naheed Dosani applied to
university in 2004, he was accepted by
all eight of his chosen schools.
“That’s when the pressure came,
picking which school you wanted to
go to,” he said.
Most students don’t apply to as
many schools as Mr. Dosani, but they
still often have to make tough choices.
“Last year the average number of
choices was 4.4,” said Mr. Granger.
Mr. Dosani said that while a
scholarship helped sweeten the offer, it
was the school itself that attracted him
to UOIT.
“It was really attractive because it was
a small campus. The ratio of students to
professors, students to TAs was not like any
other campus,” said Mr. Dosani, who is now a
student association vice-president.
He often fields questions from students
considering the UOIT and highly recommends
a campus visit to any school a student is
considering.
“You have to picture yourself and ask is this
the place where I would be comfortable?”
All universities welcome inquiring students
in the spring.
“There are events that happen throughout
March Break, but at any time students can
make arrangements to visit the campus,” said
Ms. Remmel. THE UOIT will host an open
house on March 1 and those who’ve applied
can expect a phone call from a current
student at the university who will answer any
questions they may have.
Students can also research funding options
while they await a response. For example,
THE U of T has a calculator on its site that
will help students estimate how much OSAP
they’re likely eligible for. And students who
don’t get an offer still have options.
“If we’ve made a decision on their
application and it’s not a positive decision,
if they go to summer school and bump up
those marks, we can admit them as long
as there’s space in the program,” said Ms.
Dalton. As well, they can refer to the OUAC
website. The centre polls universities for
available spaces and offers a referral service
between June and August.

know check out newsdurhamregion.com Ron Pietroniro/News Advertiser photo Naheed Dosani is the student association vice president at Durham College and the University
of Ontario Institute of Technology.
Important dates for students
Jan. 9 – Deadline for Ontario secondary
students to submit applications to the
OUAC. Applications received after this date
will still be processed, however specific
school deadlines will apply.
Feb. 5 – Recommended last date for
students to submit all information to the
OUAC, including university and program
changes.
Feb. 29 – UOIT scholarship application
deadline.
May 26 – The last date by which all
secondary school applicants can expect a
response, if they applied by the established
deadlines.
May 28 – The earliest date universities
may require a response to an offer of
admission and a financial commitment such
as a deposit.
August 2008 – Applicants are
responsible for ensuring their summer
school marks are sent to the OUAC.

Pickering Naturalists
honour Larry Noonan
for dedication to the
environment
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — Retirement hasn’t
slowed down long-time Pickering
resident Larry Noonan.
The retired teacher and princi-
pal has continued to pursue his
two greatest passions: science and
sports. In fact, he’s volunteered so
much of his time sharing his knowl-
edge of the environment that he
was given the Pickering Naturalists’
Conservation Award at the club’s
Annual Members’ Night, although
he’s not even a member.
“I greatly appreciate that,” he
said.
Mr. Noonan taught Grades 3 to 8
for more than 30 years at schools in
the Toronto District School Board
(where he was also principal), and
St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School
in Pickering. He’s also taught night
courses at York University. At St.
Elizabeth Seton, he took his stu-
dents on a number of trips to local
trails and parks, and now does
the same for numerous Pickering
schools as a volunteer. He believes
environmental issues are critical for
kids to learn about, and appreciates
Pickering’s vast green space.
“In Altona Forest, we’ve got a
herd of deer, we’ve got coyote, fox,
we’ve got hawks, we’ve got 126 dif-
ferent species of birds, we’ve got
frogs, and I can take them in to
study any of those things,” he said.
He also volunteers at St. Elizabeth
Seton by coaching junior and se-
nior girls’ volleyball, and previously
coached boys’ volleyball and bas-
ketball.
“It allows you to communicate
and make a connection with them
in a totally different way,” he said.
He also teaches watercolour
painting to seventh-graders at the
school, even inviting students to
paint in Altona Forest itself (with
parents’ permission), and the fin-
ished piece goes online at www.
altonaforest.org.
“I basically take over in four dif-
ferent classes for almost a week -
four days normally - and the teach-
er becomes a student,” he said.
Mr. Noonan also helped orga-
nize tree rescues when Strouds
Lane was being extended to Altona
Forest. The first involved students
from St. Elizabeth Seton, where
hundreds attended; the second was
for the same site, but through the
Pickering Naturalists.
“We dug up trees and brought
them to two sites in Altona Forest
and replanted them,” he said.
He helped the Toronto and
Region Conservation Author-
ity (TRCA) and the Altona Forest
Stewardship Committee (of which
he’s chairman) establish the adopt-
a-trail program in Altona Forest
about three years ago. He explained
families become responsible for 50
to 100 kilometres of trail, and if
they see a tree fall down, for ex-
ample, they contact Mr. Noonan,
and he’ll contact the TRCA to take
care of it. Volunteers tend to their
areas about once every two weeks,
and Mr. Noonan noted cleanliness
seems to deter litter.
“Since I’ve been doing that, there
seems to be a lot less garbage,” he
said.
He also volunteers with the On-
tario Forestry Association as orga-
nizer of Tree Bee, an annual con-
servation and environmental test of
knowledge for elementary school
students. He’s coached Our Lady of
the Bay Catholic School, St. Eliza-
beth Seton Catholic School, High-
bush Public School, St. Bernadette
Catholic School and Brother Andre
Catholic School to either top-four
finishes or honourable mentions.
Mr. Noonan explained Tree Bee
gives kids who didn’t typically join
sports teams an opportunity to rep-
resent their school.

Accountability and transparency
a public concern
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — Council will start off 2008 with
new transparency and accountability guidelines.
Bill 130, the Municipal Statute Law Amendment
Act, 2006, amends the 2001 Municipal Act and
gives local governments expanded authority and
increased legislative freedom.
It was proclaimed on Jan. 1, 2007, but required
Council to adopt and maintain six policies regard-
ing: the sale and disposition of land; hiring of
employees; procurement of goods and services;
notice to the public, including the form, manner
and times notice shall be given; accountability
and transparency; and, delegation of powers and
duties.
The latter two are the only new policies for
council, which approved the policies at the latest
meeting.
City clerk Debi Wilcox explained in a presenta-
tion that accountability and transparency is an
umbrella policy in which the City will govern its
actions. Staff is currently putting together a report
on the details.
Council members had a number of questions
regarding transparency within the City. Ward 3
City Councillor David Pickles asked if the public
has access to complete budgets.
City treasurer Gil Paterson assured him both
the entire current and capital budgets are made
available to the public, and go online once ap-
proved by Council.
Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley
asked if a report will be made to the public every
year. Ms. Wilcox said whether reports are made
once every four or six months, for example, will be
part of the report staff is working on.
Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean in-
quired about minutes for committees, namely the
Mayor’s Task Force he set up in June. Mayor Dave
Ryan explained there are no minutes in Mayor’s
committees, but there will be a report.
By approving the policy, Council acknowledged
it’s responsible to provide transparency and ac-
countability by: openness and fairness when con-
ducting City business; encouraging public access
and participation; efficient and effective finan-
cial management; an open and responsive meet-
ing process; delivering high-quality services to
Pickering residents; and, promoting efficient use
of public resources.

Rams runners-up
at McKerlie
Classic tourney
AJAX — The Ajax High Rams
senior boys’ hockey team finished as
runners-up at the eighth annual McK-
erlie Classic tournament hosted by
Grand River Collegiate from Dec. 20
to 22.
The tournament is one of the
larger ones in Ontario, with 24 teams
competing in six pools.
The Rams made it all the way to
the final before dropping a 2-1 deci-
sion to Guelph’s Bishop MacDonell,
which were finalists at the Ontario
Federation of School Athletic Associa-
tions (OFSAA) championships last
year. The Ajacians played extremely
well and out-chanced Bishop Mac-
Donell in the final, but couldn’t capital-
ize.
In the semifinals, Ajax High de-
feated J.F. Ross of Guelph 6-2. The
Guelph school is the defending OFSAA
champions.
After finishing undefeated in their
pool, the Rams received a bye to the
quarter-finals where they blanked the
top Waterloo squad, John A. Macdon-
ald 5-0.
In pool play, the Rams defeated
Forest Heights (Waterloo) 4-1 and
Guelph CVI 6-0 on Thursday. In their
final round-robin game, Ajax romped
past Kitchener CVI 8-1 to finish first in
its pool.
Rams’ goaltenders Garrett Hud-
son and Craig Espinho played terrific
throughout the tournament; outstand-
ing play from Mark Ramkema, Brett
Holmberg, Hayden Perroni, Ryan
Brawley and Tyler Milanovic helped
lead the team to success.
The Rams’ first LOSSA league
game after the Christmas break is
a big one: They take on Dunbarton
High School Spartans of Pickering in a
battle of two undefeated teams. Each
are sporting perfect 7-0 records in
league play.
The game’s today (Wednesday)

Pickering teen savours junior gold
Simmonds plays
crucial role with
Team Canada
at world championship
By Bob Fisher
Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING — Bringing energy
and intensity to the ice helped
Pickering’s Wayne Simmonds earn
a spot with Canada’s junior team
at the World Junior Hockey Cham-
pionships in Pardubice, Czech Re-
public.
And, those same attributes
helped Canada and Simmonds
produce a gold-medal effort --
Canada’s fourth in a row -- in a 3-2
overtime victory over Sweden in
the championship game on Satur-
day.
For Simmonds, a Scarborough
native whose family moved to
Pickering, playing in the final in
front of literally thousands of Ca-
nadians who made the trip to the
Czech Republic to cheer on the ju-
nior Canucks was altogether spe-
cial for the 19-year-old forward.
“We took
the cup up
there to
celebrate
with them.
They’ve
been here
the whole
tournament
and have
been huge
for us. It was
like playing
home games with them here,” says
Simmonds, of the hordes of Ca-
nadian fans following Saturday’s
medal presentations.
Simmonds played on the fourth
line for much of the world junior
tournament and had Oshawa Gen-
erals’ forward John Tavares and
the team’s other 17-year-old, Steve
Stamkos, as linemates at different
times. Despite not receiving a lot
of ice time, Simmonds did exactly
as both he and Canadian junior
head coach Craig Hartsburg sug-
gested he would. The energy and
intensity level increased when-
ever Simmonds was on the ice
and opposing players had to keep
their heads up or risk a hard body-
check.
Simmonds’ ice time in the gold-
medal game increased signifi-
cantly after Stefan Legein suffered
a separated shoulder part way
through the game and Simmonds
took Legein’s spot on the main
checking line.
Although Simmonds didn’t
record a point in Canada’s gold-
medal run, his ability to fire up his
teammates more than made up for
his lack of offensive production.
He brought a lot of energy and
intensity to “get the guys going out
there” was Simmonds’ description
of his play.
Being chosen to Team Canada
and playing in his first internation-
al competition was almost beyond
words for Simmonds.
“When you grow up you always
want to play for the Canadian na-
tional team and it’s a dream come
true.”
Simmonds’ association with Ca-
nadian junior team head coach
Craig Hartsburg won’t end follow-
ing his stint with the national team.
Upon returning to Canada, the tal-
ented 6-foot, 2-inch, 175-pound
Wayne Simmonds
‘It was like playing home games with them here.’

winger is headed to the Sault Ste. Marie
Greyhounds, where Hartsburg serves as the
head coach. Just prior to the junior team try-
outs in Calgary, Simmonds was traded to the
Soo from the Owen Sound Attack, where he’s
spent the past two seasons.
Hartsburg says Simmonds showed deter-
mination and a physicality in his play at the
national junior tryout sessions. He hopes
Simmonds will deliver that same quality to
the Greyhounds.
“Wayne showed the traits that were the
reason behind us bringing him to the Soo,”
says Hartsburg, referring to Simmonds’
quickness, tenacity and great puck skills.
Harnessing that energy off the ice at the
worlds was fairly easy to do. Aside from the
off ice training and coaching sessions, Sim-
monds said the team had a lounge at their
hotel where the team would gather during
down time. There was a Slingbox so the team
could keep up on events at home as well as a
video game terminal.
A late second-round selection of the Los
Angeles Kings, Simmonds said he was look-
ing forward to going to the Kings’ training
camp next year and showing the National
Hockey League team’s coaches what he can
do.
“We’ll see what happens.”

Slip past the Soo in final
DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering Raiders
midget ‘AAA’ rep hockey team put forth a
golden performance to capture a tourna-
ment championship in Waterloo recently.
The Raiders went undefeated en route to
the title at the prestigious Waterloo Golden

including the final with a 7-4 victory over
the defending Ontario Hockey Federation
champion Sault Ste. Marie North Stars in the
gold-medal game.
In winning all six tournament games in
Waterloo, the Raiders outscored the opposi-
tion 36-13 over the three-day event.
The Raiders scored an impressive 6-0
shutout of the third-ranked Sudbury Wolves
in the semifinal, setting the stage for the
championship game against the Soo.
The Ajax-Pickering midgets started the
tournament with a 6-0 victory over the Nick-
el City Sons from Sudbury. Next up, the
Raiders defeated the Kitchener Junior Rang-
ers 6-5 and the Brantford 99ers 5-1. In Game
3, the Raiders faced the No. 2 team in the
province, the Ottawa Senators, and skated
away with a convincing 6-3 victory.
The Raiders entered the weekend ranked
fifth in the province among the 61 midget
‘AAA’ teams, and are now ranked second fol-
lowing the tournament victory.
The Raiders are also currently in first place
in the OMHA ‘AAA’ ETA League with a 14-2-
1 record and are currently on a 15-game
unbeaten streak.

Band to play GM
Centre March 19
‘Cone’ looking forward
to playing for family
and friends
By William McGuirk
wmacg@yahoo.com
DURHAM — “It’s time to rock
the DR again”, says Sum 41 bass-
ist Cone (Jason McCaslin).
And rock it they will when the
biggest band to come out of Dur-
ham Region makes a long over-
due visit March 19.
It’s been just under a decade
since the band from Ajax played
a home gig and that was at a
much smaller venue than the
one booked by local promoter
Will Neville in association with
Hogtown’s Emerge. Neville and
his company WREnt are behind
bringing the band to the GM
Centre in Oshawa.
This is part of a rescheduling of
the band’s tour, which was post-
poned due to lead singer Deryck
Whibley’s back problems. The
tour will resume and the date
in Oshawa, not on the original
draft, has been marked in.
Cone was speaking on the
phone from Toronto. He was
heading into the Region for fami-
ly and the holidays and is looking
forward to being able to play for
parents and friends just a “stum-
ble” for them down Hwy. 2.
The band, which was associ-
ated with the Chameleon Cafe
scene when they began in the
early 90s and ironically lost the
local talent finder series Band-
warz, has not purposely avoided
the area.
But its rather meteoric rise
to stardom propelled it quickly
into much, much larger venues.
It wasn’t so much overnight, but
when that machine finally kicks
in, it can move pretty darn fast.
“Faster than I wanted,“ says
Cone.
“Now it’s gone and those days
were awesome,” he says. “Small
one day and then big. As soon as
‘Fat Lip’ (from ‘All Killer No Fill-
er)’ came out we exploded. Then
we could play the big places. And
you look back and you can’t re-
member those days”.
Sum 41 rode those days all the
way to the top of the charts and
10 million in sales, with its mix
of metal and punk, another hy-
bridization of styles indicative of
this country’s artists’ approach to
making music.
The departure of Dave ‘Brown-
Sound’ Baksh, the heart of the
band’s metal angle, has resulted
in a change of personnel, with
Gob’s Tom Thacker stepping in.
But the band doesn’t feel its
sound has been compromised.
Its most recent release, ‘Under-
class Hero’, recorded without the
Brown, is still very much in the
vein of previous releases.
While BrownSound has said
he’s impressed with the area’s
talent, Cone says he doesn’t have
the opportunity to keep up with
what’s going on here. He gives
kudos to Closet Monster and
Claptrap, two bands he came up
through the ranks with and notes
that Whitby’s Protest The Hero is
one to watch.
“They’re awesome. Durham
Region should be proud of that
band. They’re just amazing.”
Cone says when he returns to
the area, he gets a weird feel-
ing... of boredom, but he still
chose to record the video for his
side project Operation M.D. at
Bowmanville Hospital. H2O’s
Todd Morose is the other half of
OpMD. The video was directed
by Sum 41 drummer Steve Jocz.
The songs are much more on the
jangly garage side of punk, (the
lead single Sayonara has a Brit-
pop vibe) but they are not likely
to show up on any Sum 41 disc.
“I have been writing songs for
years but I have never taken them
to Deryck. They wouldn’t fit on a
Sum 41 album so I’ve just kept
them. When I showed them to
Todd he thought they were great
so we got together. I didn’t want
to make the guitars so heavy as
we do with Sum 41. We wanted
them cleaner.”
Their album was produced by
Whibley, however, and he also
produced ‘Underclass Hero’.
Alberta’s Social Code and To-
ronto’s Die Mannequin, featur-
ing the manic Care Failure, are
the openers.
Tickets are on sale now.
