The organization kicked off the 2008 fundraising campaign yesterday, announcing the goal of $1.75 mil- lion. The campaign runs to the end of the year and the money raised funds more than 50 programs offered by 29 agencies. Last year, $1.73 million was raised, the second year in a row the agency failed to reach its target of $1.9 mil- lion. “It’s (the goal) a reflection of the current economy. We still need to build on what we’ve raised. We look at $1.75 million as the beginning and we want to push beyond that,” said John G. Smith, the 2008 campaign chairman, of the target this year. The seven companies -- Areva NP Canada, Hubbell Canada, Messier-Dowty, Nokia, Ontario Power Gen- eration, Purdue Pharma and Veridian -- are serving as Pacesetters and pledging to raise more than $275,000. Mr. Smith praised the “ultimate group of local com- panies that help time and again,” adding employees with the companies do such things as mentor youths or deliver Meals on Wheels to seniors. “The need for this support continues to grow,” he said. The companies have “committed to raise $275,000 for the 2008 campaign. I can’t think of anything better to celebrate than that,” Mr. Smith said. “We plan to do our part to make this campaign a suc- THIS ONE MOM AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — PetSmart hosted an adopt a thon for the Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary on Saturday during which Hannah Sard played with one of the cats up for adoption.

Last year, Messier-Dowty employees con- tributed $52,000 and the goal this year is $60,000, said Barry Wohl. “We encourage other companies to participate and support the United Way.” “We take our social responsibility very serious,” Carla Carmichael of Nokia said. “Nokia matches any donations made lo- cally.” The goal for the 40 employees at the Ajax site is $20,000, she said. “We’re committed to enhancing the lives of the people and communities in which we live. We’re able to do that,” said Don Terry of OPG. “The personal contributions are what we are so proud of.” Noting that one-in-three people will use service funded by the United Way, he said “there’s a pretty good chance a family mem- ber, neighbour or co-worker is touched by the United Way. I’m pleased to say the Unit- ed Way is my way and I encourage everyone to make it your way.” “Our employees rally around the United Way each year,” Randy Steffan of Purdue Pharma said. Last year, the company sur- passed $580,000 in contributions to the United Way over a five-year period. “We’re pretty pleased with that pretty sig- nificant amount,” Mr. Steffan said. “Why get involved as a corporate citizen? We feel it’s important to help organizations that strengthen lives and neighbourhoods. Our employees said if we’re going to help, help the communities in which they live and work,” he said. “Our campaign team is pumped and ready to go.” Local mayors also praised the United Way and it’s agencies. “Municipal politicians always talk about hard service, like roads and sewers. As we grow, we need the social infrastructure, the soft services,” said Ajax Mayor Steve Parish. For “people on the edge, it’s a very un- pleasant place to live. The United Way does so much to put that infrastructure in place.” “It’s very unfortunate that the senior levels of government allow the gap in social ser- vices,” Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan said. Edna Klazek, the outgoing executive di- rector of the United Way, has seen “so much change” in her 10 years running the organi- zation. “What you do allows us to do what we do,” she said. “We know these are uncertain economic times. The programs funded by the United Way are more vital than ever. The servic- es protect the most vulnerable,” Mr. Smith said.

The Pickering grand- mother was devastated in July when she noticed that Sonic, the hedgehog she looks after for her grand- sons, six-year-old Grady and eight-year-old Taggart, went missing while she was away. The neighbour who fed him must have unhooked the cage by accident, and Ms. Clark was horrified when the little guy was gone upon her return. Sonic had quite a personality and was well- loved by the boys, who took him on walks on his leash and played with him like a toy “and he never raised his spikes to (them). “I did not think he’d sur- vive,” she said in an inter- view. About 40 days after he went missing, Pickering resident Bill Nelson was going to check on the water pump in his backyard pond when he noticed something caught in the chicken wire he keeps there so birds can climb out of the water if they’re trapped. At first he thought it was a dead rat, but then his wife, Barb, said, “It’s alive. The eyes are mov- ing.” The small animal was gripping the wire, half sub- merged and upside down in the water before Mr. Nelson pulled him out. He put him in a box, called the vet and was eventually directed to the Toronto Wildlife Foun- dation, which couldn’t help since hedgehogs are do- mesticated in Canada. But he found out hedgehogs like veggies and cat food. “He ate for 10 minutes straight,” Mr. Nelson said. “He didn’t stop.” In touch with Pickering Animal Services that Mon- day, Mr. Nelson found out someone had called the department more than a month earlier reporting a lost hedgehog. Meanwhile Ms. Clark bought a replacement for the boys, another hedgehog they named Spike. Despite the new pet, they were re- lieved and shocked when they heard Sonic had been found. “They were ecstatic,” she said. “We were pretty excit- ed. We were just jumping.” Mr. Nelson said it could have been the sanctuary of his backyard that attracted Sonic to the couple’s resi- dence. They frequently see skunks, foxes, raccoons, birds and rabbits. But it was a real trek for the ani- mal: the two homes are on separate streets in the same neighbourhood, but he also had to go through a school- yard to get to the Nelson’s place. Although Ms. Nelson renamed Sonic Esther after the swimmer, Esther Wil- liams, the couple was happy to return him to his family. “It was all around heart- warming for them to get it back,” Mr. Nelson said. In fact the boys will soon reunite with Sonic for the first time since they live in Stouffville and will also meet the Nelsons. Mean- while, Sonic is back at home but with a new friend in the mix. “The two hedgehogs are cohabitating like they be- long together,” Ms. Clark said. “They’re so happy.” FIND YOUR FALL STYLE pickeringtowncentre.com Teen Fashion Event Saturday, September 20th 1:00pm & 3:00pm Family Fashion Event Sunday, September 21st 1:00pm & 3:00pm Join us at Centre Court for a preview of Fall’s hottest fashions.

Ajax and Pickering Locations durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 4 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 11, 2008 Trustee proposes investigating environmentally friendly schools By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The public school board is looking into what it takes to build a green school. A mild, generic investigation into the con- struction costs, ongoing savings, and what classifies a school as “green,” will be under- taken by Durham District School Board staff, following its Sept. 2 standing committee meeting. “I commend your effort to make all schools more environmental all around,” said Student Trustee Ian Chislett of Henry Street High School, during the meeting. The investigation was proposed after Whitby Trustee John Dolstra suggested look- ing into what can be done for the Whitby Shores area, in light of it being a sensitive conservation area and in line for a new school. About five years ago, the board wanted to build an environmentally friendly school, but the cost was phenomenal – more than $14 million, Trustee Dolstra said. Although the board has limited funding, maybe it’s time to approach the Province for more funds for this kind of thing, he said. Oshawa Trustee Michael Barrett was quick to throw caution to the wind. Although Whitby Shores is a unique com- munity, so is every other school community, he said. Whether it’s built in north Ajax, Seaton in Pickering, or Taunton Road in Oshawa, there is lots of opportunity for green schools, and priority shouldn’t go to one that sits in a marsh, Mr. Barrett said. He would also be reluctant to build a green school that takes money away from renovations. “There are children in my communities that do not have a gym to call home,” Trustee Barrett said. But if it’s something the government is pursuing, he supports looking at more than just Whitby. “I didn’t come and ask the board for extra money,” Trustee Dolstra said. He suggested asking the government. Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper was leery even about that. “You may end up with more money for your green schools but less money for your programs,” she said, and added there’s still a limited amount of money overall for every- thing. Pickering Trustee Sherry Croteau asked Trustee Dolstra what makes the difference between a $10 million school and a $16 mil- lion school. “What is it that makes that difference and what makes it environmentally appeasing to the schools we’ve built before,” Trustee Croteau said. She’d be happy to see information brought forward, as long as its generic and could be applied to all Durham schools or new schools. “I think it would benefit our board to take a look at this and see at this stage in the game, what it would cost,” Ajax Trustee Lisa Hill said.

School board looks into going green DURHAM — Two years’ worth of Parents Reaching Out grants have been helping im- migrant parents get more involved in the school community. With more than $30,000 provided over the last two years, the Durham District School Board has been able to reach out to im- migrant parents by encouraging their in- volvement in school community councils, at events and at schools, heard those attending its Sept. 2 standing committee meeting. “One of the things I have noticed... is we are finding the (school community councils) are becoming more representative of the parent body,” said Ajax superintendent John Bowyer. Mr. Bowyer, along with some of his guests, reviewed projects the Durham District School Board has been able to support with the funding. In June 2007, an event was held to reach out to English-speaking black community members with keynote speak- ers. Muslim communities were targeted the following year. The days included coffee, speakers, lunch and break-out sessions. The board also holds dual language events, making books available in English and another languages, and provides trans- lated welcome folders. “It’s very exciting to see some of the resources that have been generated by some of these funds,” Uxbridge Trustee Joe Allin said. School board reaching out to immigrant parents with help from grants OnStar call centre doubles call volume By Ian Caldwell icaldwell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — He is one of the reassuring voices people heard when they were scrambling recently to get out of the path of Hurricane Gustav along the Gulf Coast. Clayton Guest, 31, of Bowmanville said most of the calls he received from the hurricane-affected area were from people looking for gasoline or a place to stay as they fled the storm. “There were no hotels available in Louisiana, Texas, or Arkansas,” Mr. Guest said after wrapping up his day at the OnStar call centre in Oshawa. “We’ve been giving peo- ple hotel information for Nashville . . . a lot of places in Tennessee,” he said. “For most people, it would be about 250 miles. A three-hour drive, maybe.” OnStar is a satellite- based navigation, commu- nication and emergency response service that’s available on GM vehicles for subscribers across North America. The Oshawa call centre is operated by Aditya Birla Minacs at its complex on Colonel Sam Drive and it was one of three in North America that fielded thou- sands of calls on the La- bour Day weekend. “We’ve seen a substan- tial increase in our call vol- ume,” said Chris LaLonde, an OnStar manager in Os- hawa. The company does not release specific numbers, but Mr. LaLonde said call volume Sunday was dou- ble the normal volume and OnStar brought in 100 to 200 more advisers each day over the weekend to make sure the calls were answered. “I just had one before I came down in New Or- leans,” said Sheryl Kar- ouac, 44, of Oshawa. “All the phone lines are down. And he needed to touch base with his family, so I made about six phone calls for him.” Both Ms. Karouac and Mr. Guest fielded calls during Hurricane Ka- trina and said the lessons learned then helped pre- pare advisers who received specialized crisis training. The company said the extra shifts and extra hours that OnStar advisers put in were voluntary and Mr. LaLonde said the employ- ees at the Oshawa call cen- tre stepped up to the chal- lenge. “I think a lot of these guys walk away at the end of the day going, you know, we made a difference to tens of thousands of peo- ple that are part of the GM family,” Mr. LaLonde said. “Minacs is proud of its agents,” Sandra Smith, ex- ecutive vice-president of sales, said in a statement.

A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 11, 2008 durhamregion.com Resident prefers bottled over tap water To the editor: Re: No plans to ban bottled water in Dur- ham Region, News, Aug. 22 Let me help you understand why people do not drink tap water. Would you lick your toilet bowl after using bleach to clean it? What do I have against tap water, you ask? One word: everything. An opinion coming from someone who drinks six to eight 500-millilitre bottles of spring water daily (you can check my recycling box). I may not be university-educated (just college) but I can still tell the difference between tap water and bottled spring water. Tap water is gritty, smells bad and the taste is awful. Some days you can smell the chlorine. I’d like to think of myself as a bottled water connoisseur. I can taste -- and in the case of tap water, smell -- the differ- ence. Bottled spring water tastes clean and smooth. The only thing tap water is good for is the toilet. It all comes from the same place. Jessica Allen Whitby M other Teresa, who was not only a tireless worker for the underpriv- ileged but also a heck of a danc- er, has been quoted as saying “I was once asked why I don’t participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I’ll be there.” I love that philosophy. Here was a woman who knew where her priorities and more importantly, her enor- mous powers lay. We all spend an inordinate amount of our precious lives loudly and proudly decrying what we are against. We are anti- gun, anti-crime, anti-freeze, Auntie Em. In the newspapers, television and radio broadcasts we are warned ad nauseum that we must be vigilant and fight against global warming, clear-cutting, pollution, poverty and cancer. I am sure someone somewhere is even promoting the Fight Against Fighting. We’re kept very busy. A person could easily spend his entire life fighting against stuff. But I wonder if our time, thoughts and energies might be better spent if, like Mother Teresa, we focused more on those things we are for, rather than against. This is not as simple as it sounds. Many of us have grown quite fond of fighting against things, to the point that we define ourselves by what we hate. “I’m anti- meat,” “I’m anti-fur,” to the point that we may eventually be hard-pressed to eluci- date what we are “for” at all. Think about that one for a minute. What, in fact, are you for? This is a very impor- tant question because, I think, when we answer it, we answer an even larger, even more paramount query; “What are we here for?” Interesting stuff and definitely worth thinking about. Worth thinking about because isn’t it true that what we think about, what we focus on, what we dwell on . . . is what we get? What, in fact, shows up in our days? More to the point, isn’t this why the worrier always seems to have stuff to worry about, the hater always someone or something to hate and the joyful person constantly finds things to rejoice over. The world that each of us wakes up to is, in my experience, a perfect reflection of where our heads and hearts are at. I see this in my own life daily. If I focus on love and kindness, laughter and light, if I strive to spread joy, not anger, frustration or fear, if I do my damnedest to be for peace, for health, for freedom even when the glass is looking decidedly half-empty, I am rewarded again and again and again by more of the things that bring me love, joy, kindness, peace, health and freedom. I can’t help but believe that Mother Teresa understood this principle com- pletely. Why else would she have uttered those words? She fully grasped the power of human thought, of consciousness. She was completely aware of the magic at her fingertips and the enormous responsibil- ity that came with it. The onus to be positive, to be for and not against. All that and a killer foxtrot. She was the real deal. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic- writer, saves some of his best lines for his col- umns. Grim anniversary is a reminder of why Canadian troops are fighting T oday marks a solemn anniversary in world history: it’s been exactly seven years since four hijacked planes plunged into the World Trade Center towers in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, and into a farm field in Penn- sylvania. As the world watched in horror on that sunny Sept. 11 morning, 19 al-Qaida ter- rorists took control of two planes out of New York and two out of Boston, and turned those westbound airliners around on a suicide mission designed to punish Western democracies. Thousands died in those searing images that burned themselves on our brains. We tried in vain to contemplate why innocent people were sacrificed for reasons we still find difficult, if not impossible, to under- stand. Our world changed on that day. Whether we like it or not, we were collectively at war with terrorists who were out to destroy our way of life, and Canada was not immune to the consequences of 9-11. The aftermath of the attacks was to declare war on al-Qaida’s supporters, the Taliban in Afghanistan. Our role in the fall of 2001 was limited to the efforts of the secretive Joint Task Force 2 (JTF2), a group of highly trained operatives who helped to quickly defeat the Taliban and end the war in Afghanistan by December 2001. If only it had been that easy to solve the problem. A war that took weeks and result- ed in few casualties also had little follow- up, as U.S. leaders began to heavily focus on Iraq and its outlaw dictator, Saddam Hussein. The reconstruction and salvaging of Afghanistan became an afterthought and the Taliban began to rebuild. Since 2002, Canadians have fought and died in Afghanistan in an effort to prevent the Taliban from regaining control in Afghanistan. To this point, 97 Canadian soldiers and one diplomat have given their lives in this effort. Canada has been a leading nation since 2005 in the battle in Afghanistan. Canadians have done much of the heavi- est fighting in the most dangerous part of the country, Kandahar province. It’s worth realizing, seven years later, why we are in Afghanistan and what our purpose is there. Every time you see another body come down the Highway of Heroes, remember those images of seven years ago, take a minute and realize what we are fighting for.

Her daughter Madison was diagnosed with kidney disease five years ago and had to have both kidneys removed. Ms. McLaren donated one of her kidneys to her daughter. Now 10, Madison’s wish was to go on a Disney cruise and “we’ll never be able to thank the Children’s Wish Foundation enough. It brought our family back together,” Ms. McLaren said to Ajax council on Mon- day. Going on the cruise gave her daughter the chance to “replace memories of the hospi- tal” with fun ones, she said. In addition to being a “wish mom,” Ms. McLaren is also the chairwoman of the foun- dation’s Wishmaker Parade. The event is on Saturday, Oct. 18, starting at the St. Andrew’s Community Centre, on Exeter Road in Ajax. Registration starts at 10 a.m. and the parade gets underway at 11 a.m. “I hope you can participate or pledge walkers. You can challenge Pickering on who can raise the most money,” Ms. McLar- en said. “We’ll see what we can do to challenge Pickering,” Mayor Steve Parish said. “It’s not much of a challenge, but we’ll see what we can do.” Ward 2 local Councillor Renrick Ashby said he’s been a member of the parade plan- ning committee for three years. “I see the impact it has on lives,” he said. For more on the parade, visit www.child- renswish.ca. Two sought in Pickering robbery PICKERING — Two suspects are being sought in the robbery of a Pickering cheque- cashing outlet Sunday afternoon.

Forwards Ashley Riggs, 23, (Ni- agara University) and Jennifer Wakefield, 19, (University of New Hamp- shire) were both named to the evalu- ation camp at Calgary’s Father David Bauer Olym- pic Arena from Sept. 17 to 21. The camp will be used to determine which athletes will be part of the group that will work toward the 2009 IIHF World Women’s Championship and Olympic centralization. In February 2009, 22 players will be selected to play for Canada at the 2009 IIHF World Women’s Championship. In the summer of 2009, up to 30 athletes will move to Calgary as part of centralization to train and work toward the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, BC. The September camp is the first of several that Hockey Canada will hold throughout the year. The camp roster includes four goaltenders, 15 defencemen and 22 forwards. “The week will be an evaluation of players who are working towards the 2009 IIHF World Women’s Championship and final Olympic centralization roster,” says Melody Davidson, head coach of the na- tional women’s team. “It’s there- fore an important week for these players as we will be selecting our player pool as we look ahead to the next two years.” At the September evaluation camp, the players will be divided into two teams – Team Red and Team White. The two teams will face midget ‘AAA’ teams from the Calgary area in a tournament, with each team playing four games. The midget ‘AAA’ teams are Cal- gary Flames and UFA Bisons. Fol- lowing a round-robin, the top two teams will play on Sunday, as will the teams that finish in third and fourth. One other player, Natalie Spoon- er, 17, (Ohio State University) was also invited to camp. The Scarbor- ough forward is a former member of the Ajax-Pickering-based Dur- ham Junior Lightning women’s hockey team. Ashley Riggs News Advertiser file photo Pickering’s Jennifer Wakefield is among 41 invitees to the first national wom- en’s hockey team evaluation camp in Calgary this month. The University of New Hampshire star joins fellow Pickering player Ashley Riggs, who attends Niagara University of Niagara Falls, N.Y., on the national team’s camp roster. School sailing championship coming to Whitby Provincial event expected to draw 125 to Whitby Yacht Club; several to compete from Frenchman’s Bay in Pickering By Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com WHITBY — It’s been quite a year for the Whitby Yacht Club. A little over a month after hosting the prestigious Lake Yacht Racing Association (LYRA) regatta, the local club will wel- come the Ontario High School Sailing Championships to the shores of Whitby this weekend. Mind you, the two events are as different as can be, says Pat Cahill, the race organizer who also runs the Whitby club’s sail- ing school during the summer. Whereas the LYRA event was for much larger keelboats with big crews, the high school cham- pionships involves dinghies, pri- marily individual single-handed boats. Cahill expects the event will attract about 125 high school athletes from across Ontario, in- cluding eight from the host club and another eight or so from the Frenchman’s Bay club in Pickering. “It’s a good regatta for the kids,” Cahill says. “Most of them usually end up at regattas over the summer where there’s a lot of people who are older, so this is one where they can come and have a much better chance to win.” Of the eight who sail out of Whitby in the summer, Alea Frauts will represent Trafalgar Castle School, Devon Gilbert, Cameron Wood and Natalie Sel- kirk will sail for Henry Street High School, Liam Williams and Aaron Babier will represent Sinclair Secondary School, and Phillip Brickell will compete for Clarington Central. The racing is expected to run from about 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. till 2 p.m. Sunday, followed by an awards ceremony. Although not sanctioned by the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA), the provincial championships have been held for at least the last 30 years, says Cahill. “We thought it was just a nice regatta for them to be able to represent their high school in a sport that they’ve practised,” he explains. Sports briefs SEPTEMBER 11, 2008 Show jumping finals in Ajax on Sunday AJAX — The Central Ontario Region of the Canadian Pony Club is staging its Regional Show Jumping Finals at Audley Road Stables, near Ajax, this Sunday, Sept. 14. Fifty-three young riders from 11 branches have competed in qualify- ing shows to enter the finals. The higher show jumping class- es – entry, starter, beginner, novice, intermediate and advanced – com- pete in three classes each: a medal class; a Table AM5 single round plus jump-off; and, a power and speed round, to determine a champion and a reserve in each division. The show also includes non-champion- ship classes for younger riders. Audley Road Stables are at 777 Audley Rd., Ajax. The show starts at 8 a.m. and continues through the day. Spectators are welcome with- out charge. Junior Lightning among best at big U.S. tourney DURHAM — Playing many of the best women’s teams in the U.S., the Durham Junior Lightning fared well at the North American Hockey Academy (NAHA) 2008 Labor Day Tournament in Burling- ton, Vt. last weekend. The tournament featured 27 teams playing in five divisions, consisting main- ly of U.S. teams, with several Ca- nadian squads also in the mix. The Junior Lightning played well, despite it being early in the season, earning their way to the semifinal before falling to Assabet (Concord, Mass.) in the semifinal 2-0. Assa- bet went on to capture the tour- nament championship. The Junior Lightning advanced to the semis after downing host North American Hockey Academy ‘White’ in the quarter-finals 5-4 in an extremely challenging contest. In pool play, the Junior Light- ning finished atop their division after recording victories over Pa- cific Steelers Blue (6-1) and Team Alaska (8-0) and toughed out a tie against Assabet (2-2). Durham’s Alannah Wakefield was named to the all-tournament team. Both the Durham Junior Light- ning and the Lightning midget ‘AA’s will compete in the Stoney Creek tournaments -- the midgets in the Midget Showcase event from Sept. 12 to 14 and the juniors in the Stoney Creek University Show- case on Sept. 19 to 21. Greenley turns in spectacular meet AJAX — The Ajax Aquatic Club was small, but mighty in the pool at the Swimming/ Natation Canada’s Age Group Nationals in Calgary. Although still considered a relatively small club, AAC finished ninth overall — the club’s third consecutive year finishing in the top 10 in Can- ada — and ranked third of the Ontario teams (after only Etobicoke and Oakville). The Ajax team had a record 21 athletes meet the qualify- ing times for Age Group Na- tionals this year, culminating in 13 medals, an additional 20 swims in finals, and a number of club records being broken. Connor Greenley, 14, had an outstanding meet, winning four individual gold medals and a silver and breaking five club records in the process. Greenley captured four gold medals in the 50-metre and 200m butterfly and in the 50m and 100m freestyle. He also earned an individual sil- ver in the 100m fly. Greenley also helped Ajax teammates Braden Kingdon, Julien Dodu and Zach Fedak earn silver in the boys’ 14-15 100m freestyle relay. Greenley’s five club re- cords came in the 13-14 boys’ 50m free, 13-14 boys’ 100m free, 13-14 boys’ 50m fly, 13- 14 boys’ 100m fly, and 13-14 boys’ 200m fly. The following is a summa- ry of the club’s accomplish- ments in Calgary: Medal winners • Zach Fedak - gold (50m free), silver (100m free), bronze (50m fly); • Julian Monks - gold (50m breaststroke), bronze (100m breast); • Devin Ste.

Blackwin won gold in the 50-, 200-, and 100-metre free- style races and picked up a bronze in the 50m butterfly. Blackwin’s best event, howev- er, was the 400m free, where she shattered her own club record by 10 seconds on her way to an impressive 5:21.43 and her fourth gold medal of the meet. She won the race, impressively, by an eight-sec- ond margin. 2006 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Stock# p9697a63000 kmEngine Size: 4 -Cyl. 2.0 Liter $12,888 2003 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO Stock# p9697a $12,495 2007 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER Stock# p9697a34124 kmEngine Size: 4-Cyl. 2.4 Liter $12,488 2001 HONDA CIVIC Stock# p9697a88,253 km $9,495 2007 HUMMER H2 Stock# p9697a55320 kmEngine Size: V8 6.0 Liter CALL FOR PRICE 2007 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING Stock# p9697a55320 kmEngine Size: V6 3.5 Litre HO $19,888 2002 PONTIAC SUNFIRE Stock# p9697a Engine Size: 4-CYL. 2.2 Liter $4,988 2003 MAZDA PROTEGE 5 Stock# p9697a Engine Size: 4-Cyl. 2.0 Liter $10,888 2008 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX Stock# p9697a25268 kmEngine Size: V6 3.8 Liter $17,888 2003 HYUNDAI ACCENT Stock# p9697a $4,999 STOCK# V186 STOCK# V123 STOCK# V32 STOCK# V197 STOCK# US9635 STOCK# P9697A STOCK# P9733A STOCK# P988 STOCK# V27A STOCK# V136 VILLAGEVILLAGE USEDUSED CARSCARS MoreMore “Thinking like a Customer”“Thinking like a Customer” www.morevillageusedcars.comwww.morevillageusedcars.com Chrysler employees & Affi liated Employee & Supplier Discounts 888-585-2142888-585-2142 19 Harwood Ave., S Ajax19 Harwood Ave., S Ajax SAME LOCATION FOR 35 YEARSSAME LOCATION FOR 35 YEARS SALES HOURS: MON - THURS . 9-9 • FRI & SAT. 9-6 All pricing is plus Admin, PDI, license, GST, PST and registration EXPLOSIONEXPLOSIONPRE-OWNEDPRE-OWNED SALES 100%100% APPROV A L APPROV A L WE W I L L WE WILL GET Y O U GET YOU DRIVING !
