Chairman Roger Anderson sits on the Metrolinx board that will have to approve the draft plan, which is called The Big Move: Transforming Transportation in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. Once the draft is approved it goes to public consultations before a final approval at the end of the year. “I think there are parts of it that are good, there’s a lot that’s miss- ing for Durham that I think should be in there and I’ll discuss that with them on Friday and hopefully they’ll be able to see our way of thinking and I’ll be able to sup- port it.” Metrolinx chairman Rob MacIsaac said the plan calls for the largest transit expansion on the books in North America and aims to integrate the transit of Durham, Halton, Peel, York, Hamilton and Toronto, while still keeping local transit authorities in the different municipalities. “This is very much an action plan to get things moving now,” said Metrolinx chairman Rob Ma- cIsaac. “We will have shovels in the ground next year.” None of those shovels will be in Durham, but projects in the region are listed as top priorities, to be completed in the next 15 years. The projects are express rail on the Lakeshore GO line from Hamil- ton to Oshawa, a GO train station in Bowmanville and rapid transit service along Hwy. 2 in Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa. Express GO service would mean trains every five minutes during peak periods and every 15 minutes during off-peak hours in Durham. In order for that to happen, how- ever, GO would have to convert from diesel trains to electric. This is expected by 2016 and will cost around $2 billion for the Durham portion. In addition to major projects such as a subway extension to Vaughan, rapid transit in several LOOK WAY UP Celia Klemenz/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Ralph Berger and Zena Saipoo admire ‘Exuberance’, a sculpture by Gerd Untermann, during a recent stop at the sculptor’s studio.

Further out, the Metrolinx plan calls for rapid transit along the Steeles Avenue- Taunton Road corridor in 16 to 25 years. After the 25-year period, the plan projects additional rapid transit along Hwy. 407 and an east-west express rail connecting Oakville through Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham and Pickering. It’s not specified in the plan whether rapid transit means rail or bus, though at least the Durham Hwy. 2 portion is expected to be bus. After the transportation plan is ap- proved, there will be a Benefits Case Analysis to determine which technology to use for each route. Mr. Anderson said he has lots of unan- swered questions, including what role the private sector will play. He wants to see the service to Durham accelerated, including to the planned Seaton community in north Durham, which he says the Province wants to develop right away. “If you’re going by last year’s news for Metrolinx, what was ap- proved last year was good. My question is what are they going to be doing for the next 15 to 20 years, there’s going to be a whole lot of people living north of Hwy. 2,” he said. Metrolinx projects the 25-year plan comes with a $50-billion price tag, money that is not currently in the bank. So far, the plan links to- gether existing funding announcements, pri- marily the Province’s $11.5 billion MoveOn- tario 2020 commitment which should last until 2013. Should the federal government kick in the $6 billion the Province has asked for, the money could stretch until 2018. “The cost of not proceeding with this plan will be a lot higher than proceeding with it,” said Mr. MacIsaac. For now, he quashed fears of toll roads. In- stead, Metrolinx will follow the lead of other jurisdictions such as London, England which flooded the downtown with transit options before considering tolls. Mr. MacIsaac did not rule them out en- tirely, but said first commuters would have to see the benefits of improved transit and Metrolinx will review revenue options in 2013. “We think ultimately as we move for- ward, people will have to look at a wide range of measures to make sure the plan carries on.” The expectation is implementation of the plan will reduce the average distance travelled by car each day per person from 26 kilometres to 19 kilometres. As well, 75 per cent of people will live within two kilometres of rapid transit, today it’s less than half, and the average commute will drop by five min- utes. Slightly more than a quarter of morning rush hour trips will be taken by transit, as opposed to the current 16.5 per cent, and there would be a shift to people living closer to where they work. “In our view this plan is as much about values as it is about vehicles,” said Mr. Ma- cIsaac.

In 2007, there were 4,430 crimes per 100,000 people. Chief Ewles told members of Regional Council that’s a 9.4 per cent reduction from the previous year. When compared to neighbouring munici- palities, Durham has a slightly higher crime rate than York, Halton and Peel, but a lower one than Waterloo, Toronto, Ottawa, Niagara and Hamilton. Durham’s rate is below the provincial and national rates and all three are trending down- ward. “You’ll see that our crimes against per- sons are actually trending down, our prop- erty crimes have increased slightly,” said Chief Ewles. There were 4,070 person crimes last year from January to August. This year, there were 3,738. At 13,843, there were 850 more property crimes in 2008 compared to the same period last year. Chief Ewles attributed part of that increase to a spike in the number of car rob- beries in Whitby. He also said one case of bank card swiping can result in 150 to 200 complaints. “Our crime rate incidence indicates we’re a very, very safe community,” he said. By solving 42 per cent of crimes in 2007, Chief Ewles said Durham was second among the nine municipalities listed, behind only York. Police made a seven point improvement over 2006. And despite ever-increasing volumes on Durham roads, the number of traffic collisions is down in 2008 compared to the same time last year. “We’ve been managing to hold our own despite that increase in volume ,,, and it’s a significant challenge to do so,” said the chief. So far this year, there have been 17 deaths on local roads, compared to 20 at this time last year. The latest was a woman who was hit by a car in Clarington on Tuesday. “Unfortunately that woman succumbed to her injuries and now it’s 17,” Chief Ewles told council on Wednesday. As to homicides, there have been two in Durham this year. There were six in 2007. In addition to the numbers, Chief Ewles highlighted some of the year’s successes in- cluding the forfeiture of the Hell’s Angels club- house in Oshawa. “That blight on our community is gone.” He also spoke about his department’s anti- gangs initiative and the new mental health response unit the chief hopes to expand. Challenges include the increasing complex- ity of crimes. In 1985, it took police one to two hours to investigate a domestic assault. In 2005, it took 10 to 12 hours. Part of that is related to a switch to focusing on the victim. “If we can prevent re-victimization, that’s the key to breaking that cycle,” Chief Ewles said. Last year, there were 4,800 domestic dis- turbance calls, which amounts to one every two hours. Similarly, in 1985, it took police officers two hours to deal with a case of impaired driving. In 2005, it was five hours. A break and enter can take up to three hours longer to investigate because police now can- vass the neighbourhood informing residents of the crime and looking for information. Other pressures include rising fuel prices and the recruitment and retention of staff.

The girl was taken to hospital in Os- hawa by a family member in March of this year with injuries that included a fractured skull, broken bones, bruising and brain hemorrhaging, Durham police said. The child, now seven months old, has recovered from her physical injuries but it’s not known yet if she has sustained permanent brain damage. The little girl has been apprehended by the Children’s Aid Society and placed in foster care. Following a months-long investiga- tion, officers with Durham’s child abuse unit arrested the child’s parents Monday at their Oshawa residence. A man, 21, and a 19-year-old woman are charged with assault causing bodily harm, crimi- nal negligence causing bodily harm and failing to provide the necessities of life. Police have withheld the names of the accused to protect the child’s identity. Bar beef leads to big drug bust WHITBY — Two men with a large cache of drugs that included cocaine, ec- stasy and LSD were busted early Tuesday by police following up on a report of a bar brawl. Officers were called to the area of Brock and Dundas streets at about 2:15 a.m. after two suspects became involved in a verbal altercation with a group of men near the Royal Hotel, Durham police said. During the melee one of the men brandished and swung a metal baton, witnesses told cops. The suspects had fled by the time cops arrived, but their vehicle was soon lo- cated at a gas station at the intersection of Dundas and Garden streets. Two men in the car were arrested with- out incident. In the car police found two extendable batons and a backpack that contained an estimated $20,000 in drugs, including cannabis resin, cocaine, LSD, ecstasy and oxycodone. Facing drug charges are Kris Lund- Pedersen, 35, of no fixed address, and 22-year-old Christopher Leaitch of So- lina Road, Clarington. Mr. Leaitch is also charged with uttering threats and posses- sion of a dangerous weapon.

Letter writer Russ Rak fears a Conserva- tive majority due to a so-called hidden agenda. Notice how nobody can ever say what it is....why? Because there is no hidden agenda. Canadians should fear the opposition parties’ free-for-all spending plans. Liberals: almost $80 billion of promised new spending NOT including the Green Shift, where consumers will ultimately pay more for everything as companies will pass the cost on to us. The NDP: $10 billion-plus in promised new spending. And The Green Party: $40 billion-plus in spending. That’s as of Sept. 18 and they will prom- ise a lot more in the coming weeks. Our taxes will pay for their buying your votes. With promised spending we will pay a lot more. Matthew Dixon Ajax I t’s fall fair time. One of the terrific things about small towns at any time of the year is they know how to celebrate them- selves. It’s important to them. Gives them a sense of identity. To that end, almost every small town and hamlet in Ontario will host its own festival at some time of the year. Some people consider these rural tradi- tions hokey but I love them. I grew up in the suburbs of Scarborough and the clos- est thing we ever had to a festival was when Andy McGeechy found his Dad’s hidden stash of Playboy magazines and Licorice allsorts in the same drawer. Not exactly Caribana, but still a good time. Festivals are generally a way for small towns to boast about something special and unique to their area. Kitchener–Water- loo, for example, proudly shows off its Ger- manic culture each fall with the ever popu- lar Oktoberfest. The people of our nation’s capital celebrate their bracingly chilly Feb- ruary’s with “Winterlude” each year. In my own little town we are blessed with an abundance of maple trees. It therefore comes as no surprise that we have a “Maple Syrup Festival” every spring. Although, it seems to me the one thing we really have in abundance is manure . . . God help us if that one ever catches on. Somehow I can’t see droves of city-folk pouring into our area for a Sunderland “Road Apple” or a ride on the “Spreader.” But you never know. On a brilliant fall afternoon, people will find any excuse to get out of the city. Some towns, however, are not so obviously endowed with such attrac- tive features. They have to dig a little deeper to mine those gems they love to call their own. Small town folk are nothing if not resourceful though and while some of these may sound a little off-putting at first glance, I am sure they have much to offer. Take for instance Coboconk’s unfortu- nately named “Festival of Fish Guts” or Listowel’s “Skunk Smell-a-bration” with its beloved mascot “Squishy the Street Pizza.” The real beauty of small town festivals is their remarkable variety. Want excitement on a slightly gentler level? Then you won’t want to miss Mount Albert’s “Running of the Snails.” Vegetarians and health food nuts go crazy for Madoc’s “Fibre-thon,” proud home of the world’s biggest Porta-Pottie. Of course occasionally a pig with lipstick is still a pig. And some things are just destined for failure. No amount of goodwill or mar- keting dollars could’ve saved Atikokan’s ill- fated “Festival of Phlegm” with its beautiful but highly contagious mucous sculptures. Nonetheless, there are still dozens of choices out there waiting for you and your wallet. So take a drive into the country. It’s a great way to see some beautiful sights, meet some friendly people and it’s less time consuming than hunting for Playboy’s and Licorice Allsorts. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic- writer, saves some of his best lines for his col- umns. The Big Move needs to be on election candidates’ radar Durham must be ready for future transit changes T he Big Move has the potential to improve how residents of Durham and the entire GTA/Greater Hamil- ton Area get around, be it by car, subway or bus. During this election campaign Federal party leaders, even if they have reservations about the plan, need to commit the billions required to improve the transportation system in this impor- tant part of the country. The Big Move: Transforming Trans- portation in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area was released in draft form yesterday by Metrolinx, formerly the Greater Toronto Transportation Author- ity. It calls for $50 billion in spending over the next 25 years on about 100 proj- ects, from express rail GO services along the GO Lakeshore line from Hamilton through Oshawa to expanded rail service across the GTA, including GO rail service to Bowmanville. The goal is to get people and products moving more efficiently and with less environmental impact. There should be no argument that these projects are required sooner rather than later. Recent years have seen few improvements to the GTA’s daily night- mare of traffic congestion on major high- ways and its increasingly outdated tran- sit system. Meanwhile, our population, in areas like Durham, has continued to rise and has meant more and more cars on our highways. That something needs to be done, and quickly, is evident. While the provincial government is expected to provide $11.5 billion of the total required, the issue doesn’t seem to be on the federal party leaders’ radar. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson, who sits on the Metrolinx board, trashed the draft report, saying “it’s obvious that the GTA stops at Markham Road.” Mr. Anderson’s advocacy for Durham is welcome and is supported by this news- paper. Durham has been on the short end of funding announcements for too long, from education to transportation. Mr. Anderson has consistently called for a provincial commitment to the comple- tion of Hwy. 407 as soon as possible, and the project is included in the report. The fact is Durham only recently amal- gamated its bus systems and that may have led to few projects being proposed for Durham. Our transit system is in its infancy and unfortunately that may have worked against receiving any large por- tion of the $50-billion pie. Our regional politicians should take this as notice that they must get our regional system running smoothly so we are ready for any future projects. Mr. Anderson has said the Region is work- ing on a long-term transit plan for the region. He hoped it would be finished by Sept. 2009 but it needs to be completed sooner. In November, the Region sent Durham Region Transit’s Bus Rapid Transit Proj- ect on Hwy. 2 to Metrolinx as a funding request of the provincial government, and it was included in the budget and in The Big Move. The Region had a plan and it was welcomed by Metrolinx. As well, the draft report envisions rapid transit or rail links between downtown Pickering and Seaton, and Seaton and Toronto, and includes a rapid transit cor- ridor along Taunton Road from Oshawa to Seaton and into Toronto. A 25-year draft plan certainly isn’t set in stone and, once Durham completes its transit planning, there’s nothing to pre- vent it from being further incorporated into the Metrolinx plan.

The Rotary Club’s first attempt at Ribfest this year was a success, attracting more than 32,000 people to Pickering’s Esplanade Park. The event headlined six ribbers, offered food, drinks and entertainment for adults and kids, and raised $30,000 for local chari- ties. Council approved plans to have the Ribfest in 2009 from June 5 to 7 at Esplanade Park at a recent Council meeting. Event organizers are anticipating more than 35,000 people, seven ribbers, and more games and music.

She is an artist who rides for exercise and inspiration. MP says review needed after Ajax growth has outpaced other municipalities PICKERING — After some arm twisting, Pickering councillors chose to support Mark Holland’s letter calling for fair representation on Durham Regional Council. The Ajax-Pickering MP wrote a letter to Re- gional Chairman Roger Anderson supporting Ajax Town Council’s request that the Region review its makeup to see that it meets the prin- ciple of representation by municipal popula- tion. “Over the past decade, it has become in- creasingly apparent that the growth of certain communities, namely the Town of Ajax, has outpaced the growth of other Durham com- munities, resulting in a glaring imbalance in the Regional Council’s composition,” he said in the letter. Mr. Holland said the 2006 census shows Ajax’s three Regional councillors represent 30,000 res- idents each compared to Oshawa’s one council- lor for every 17,500. Pickering has four Regional councillors, so compared to its population, each member represents about 22,000 people. In an August presentation to the Ajax- Pickering Board of Trade, Mr. Anderson said since growth is projected for Pickering and Os- hawa, Regional representation should balance itself out. Although Mr. Holland refers to Ajax specifi- cally in the letter, Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean said the letter doesn’t say Ajax will get a new member; but the entire process will be looked at. “This is democracy,” he said. “Let’s have a look at it.” Everyone except Mayor Dave Ryan and Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson voted in support of Mr. Holland’s request. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson was absent. Pickering wants review of regional representation                          4HIS0ASSPORTINCLUDES s &2%%,5.#("5&&%4 6ALID-ONDAYTHRU4HURSDAY3ATURDAYONLY s &2%%$)..%2"5&&%4 6ALID-ONDAYTO4HURSDAYONLY s "UY/NE 'ET/NE&REE,UNCH"UFFETS 6ALID-ONDAYTO3ATURDAYONLY s "UY/NE 'ET/NE&REE,UNCH"UFFETS 6ALID3ATURDAYAND3UNDAYONLY s "UY/NE 'ET/NE&REE$INNER"UFFETS 6ALID-ONDAYTO4HURSDAYONLY s "UY/NE 'ET/NE&REE$INNER"UFFETS 6ALID&RIDAYTO3UNDAYONLY 7HILESUPPLIESLAST,IMITEDNUMBERAVAILABLE 3EEDESCRIPTIONSANDTERMSCONDITIONSAT WWWPASSPORTTOSAVINGSCA  '34  4HEæ.EWSæ!DVERTISERæHASæACQUIREDæTERRIlæCæDEALSæFROMæ LEADINGæLOCALæMERCHANTSæOFFERINGæDISCOUNTSæATæBETWEENææ ANDææTIMESæTHEæORIGINALæVALUEææ7EæPACKAGEæTHEMæINæAæ UNIQUEæFORMATæWEæCALLæTHEæ0ASSPORTæTOæ3AVINGSææ!æLIMITEDæ NUMBERæOFæ0ASSPORTSæAREæPRODUCEDæFORæEACHæMERCHANTæ 4HEYæAREæAVAILABLEæWHILEæSUPPLYæLASTS £°ÊÜÜÜ°«>ÃëœÀÌ̜Ã>ۈ˜}ðV> Ó°Ê >Ê™äx‡{Óȇ{ÈÇÈÊiÝÌÊÓÓÓ Î°ÊʘʫiÀܘɜÀʓ>ˆÊ̜\Ê £ÎäÊ œ““iÀVˆ>ÊÛi˜Õi]ʍ>ÝÊ" Ê£-ÊÓx VÉœÊ ÕÀ…>“Ê*>ÃëœÀÌÊ̜Ê->ۈ˜}à ÎÊ -9Ê 79-Ê /"Ê 19 4HEAREASBESTVALUEBUFFET !LLYOUCANEAT "ARS^/VERFOODITEMS "ÛiÀÊfÎää°ääʈ˜ÊÛ>ÕiÊ­ÓÎÊvÀiiÊ LÕvviÌîÊ>ÊvœÀʍÕÃÌÊfÓ{°™™Ê«ÕÃÊ}ÃÌ° Ê Ý«ˆÀiÃÊ՘iÊÎä]ÊÓää™ œÌÊÛ>ˆ`ʜ̅iÀ½ÃÊ >Þ]Ê>̅iÀ½ÃÊ >ÞʜÀÊ6>i˜Ìˆ˜i½ÃÊ >Þ °° °"° 3OMEOF'REAT7ALLS&EATURE )TEMS)NCLUDE #RAB,EGS 3USHI 4EPPENYAKI 3ASHIMI 3HRIMPS 3TEAKS ""12IBS 0IZZA $ESSERTS )CE#REAMAND MUCHMUCHMORE /…iÊ>Ài>½Ã Ê L i Ã Ì Ê Û >  Õ i Ê L Õ v v i Ì t ÊޜÕÊV>˜ Ê i > Ì ™Ê >ÀÃ"ÛiÀÊ£ää Ê v œ œ ` Ê ˆ Ì i “ Ã Ê À>LÊi}Ã] Ê -

The Town received the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) Federal Gas Tax Project Award for the LEED-certifi ed fi re and emergency headquarters. The award was presented during the recent AMO conference held in Ottawa. Federal Environment Minister John Baird and Doug Reycraft, AMO’s past president, presented the award to Wards 1 and 2 Regional Councillor Scott Crawford. “Ajax’s new fi re and emergency services headquarters is a glowing example of how buildings can achieve environmental benefi ts and energy effi ciency,” Mr. Reycraft said in a press release. “They have set a high standard for any municipality that is serious about building smart, green facilities.” The station, which opened in late June, is at the corner of Rossland and Salem roads. Features include geothermal heating and cooling systems, a green roof with native and drought-resistent plants, and under- fl oor ventilation, a ground-source heat pump and cisterns to collect storm water for later use. There’s also special parking for hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles and a secure area for bicycle storage. The facility is one of two LEED (Leaders in Energy and Environmental Design) buildings the Town is building. Construction of a new operations centre, next to the fi re hall, is to start this fall. “The decision to build a LEED- certifi ed fi re hall is in keeping with Ajax’s environment-fi rst philosophy and our commitment to customer service as Ontario’s fi rst ISO 9001 registered municipality,” Coun. Crawford said in the release. An open house for the fi re hall is set for October. New fi re hall recognized for environmental features Fast Facts: •The new Fire Station and Headquarters is 46.4% more effi cient than the reference Model National Energy Code Building (MNECB). This achieves 5 LEED credits. • Including the green roof and site landscape, a total of 53% of the site will be landscaped. •This building design saves 112.5 tons of Greenhouse Gases per year. This is the equivalent to removing 23 cars or light trucks off the road each year; eliminating 1150 cars over the buildings life. It is also equivalent to protecting 39Ha of forestry per year; 1950 Ha of forest over the buildings life. • Natural Gas savings of 66.2% annually. • Electrical savings of 9.5% annually. • In comparison to the existing Fire Station, the New Fire Station and Headquarters will use 58% less energy (at 58% of the cost) despite the fact that the New Station is 55% larger than the existing station. “They have set a high standard for any municipality that is serious about building smart, green facilities.” The command centre in the new Ajax fi re hall at Salem and Rossland Road Photos taken by: RON PIETRONIRO Editorial written by: KEITH GILLIGAN The geo thermal heating unit at the new Ajax fi re hall PATRIOT ENGINEERING LTD.

You've shown your commitment to energy efficiency in the design and construction of the new Ajax Fire Services Headquarters. Congratulations for being the first municipality in Durham Region to obtain LEED® certification from the Green Building Council. Congratulations The power to make your community better. AJAX -- The Town isn’t just talking the talk; it’s walking the walk when it comes to the environment. Ajax is in the process of building a municipal LEED campus, the fi rst of its kind in Ontario. The new 28,000-square-foot fi re station at Salem and Rossland roads is a Leaders in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certifi ed Building - - a points driven process with credits based on environmentally friendly strategies. The LEED station is the fi rst such building of its kind in Durham Region. The goal of having a LEED-certifi ed building is to maximize water and energy effi ciency, and improve internal air quality, through initiatives such as a “Green Roof”, underfl oor ventilation, connection of underground cisterns to collect storm water run-off and the introduction of a ground source heat pump. The green roof, geo-thermal heating and underground water cisterns “are three highlights people can relate to. A lot more goes into it,” said Dave Meredith, the Town’s operations and environmental services director. A green roof has plants rather than a typical roof, which would refl ect heat. By refl ecting the heat, the green roof aids in lowering air conditioning costs. Going with a LEED building begins on day one, starting with the site preparation. Moving dirt has to be accounted for, so sediment doesn’t get into any nearby creeks, he said. Near the fi re hall is a tributary of Carruthers Creek. Construction waste also has to be recycled or reused, Mr. Meredith said. “What type of waste management do you put in place. Do you separate it all? Recycling of waste is all part of it as well,” he said. Verifi cation or documenting how the construction waste is dealt with is part of the LEED process. Verifi cation includes having shipping dates, the amount and receipts, he said. “Is the end product used for recycling or reused?” Landscaping is low maintenance, with plants that need as little water as possible or are drought resistant. Materials also had to be low volatile organic compounds (VOC). These include adhesives and sealants, he said. Mechanical controls can be “costly,” but he said it’s a “very sophisticated system,” noting the temperature can be controlled in a specifi c area. Also, the ventilation system can also work in a specifi c area at a time to “maximize the air quality.” The building is constructed so “as much natural light as possible” is allowed in. “It cuts down on the amount of electrical lighting needed.” Plumbing fi xtures are “all the most highly effi cient,” such as fl ushless urinals and low-fl ow toilets, he said. One of the features of the new hall is the training tower, said Chief Randy Wilson. There are two simulations in the tower, “one to simulate a bedroom fi re and one a kitchen fi r e .” When operating, the tower will use propane and not wood or diesel fuel, he said, adding the smoke that will be created is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. “We’re the only one in the Region with a training facility,” the chief said. Windows in offi ces will open up. When a window is open, however, the heating and air conditioning in the room shuts off, the chief said. The environmental benefi ts aren’t the only ones the Town receives. Over the life of the building, savings on utility costs will be about $2.5 million. And, the headquarters is also expected to have a longer life cycle than a similar conventional building. Construction of a new Operations and Environmental Services building will start in November, and together, the two buildings will form a municipal LEED campus, the fi rst of its kind in Ontario. Ajax takes LEED with fi re hall Environmental, fi nancial benefi ts to new building Interior view of the new Ajax fi re hall. Doug Fishburn and the staff of Fishburn Building Sciences Group Inc., as the projects Green Roof Consultant, would like to congratulate the Town of Ajax on the opening of the Ajax Fire Station and for their leadership in adopting the design of this environmentally enhancing green roof facility. Fishburn would like to thank their design partners and construction trades for their efforts to realize this award - winning project. The Green Roof is designed to reduce storm water run off, reduce maintenance and extend the life expectancy of the waterproofi ng system. 1-888-969-9970 durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 12 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 25, 2008 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 25, 2008 PAGE 13 A/Pdurhamregion.com SPORTS ✦ E-mail game scores to Al Rivett, arivett@durhamregion.com ANNANDALEANNANDALE Don’t Give up Golf, Just High Prices!

Pickering hurdler, Olympian honoured to be elected; four-year term begins this fall By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Pickering hurdler and two-time world champion Per- dita Felicien will be doing more than just competing within the Ca- nadian Olympic movement. Felicien was one of six accom- plished athletes – including four medallists from the Beijing Games – elected by their peers to the Ca- nadian Olympic Committee’s Ath- letes’ Council, an internal advisory body designed to give athletes a voice on the COC executive com- mittee and board of directors. The elections were held following the Games last month. The two-time Olympian considers it an absolute hon- our to repre- sent her peers on the com- mittee. “The com- mittee’s not just there to be there; you really can have chang- es and that’s why I submitted my name,” said Felicien, 28. “It’s an awesome responsibility...an oppor- tunity to give back. We’re going to try and make it better for genera- tions to come.” Also elected to the committee were rower Iain Brambell (2008 bronze medallist), rower David Calder (silver), rower Adam Kreek (gold), kayaker Adam van Ko- everden (silver), and swimmer Rick Say. The six summer athletes elected this year came from a pool of 11 candidates. Summer athletes from Canada were encouraged to run as candidates for the Athletes’ Coun- cil. To be eligible, candidates must have competed at either the 2008 or 2004 Olympic Games, or have competed at the 2007 Pan Ameri- can Games. For her four-year term on the committee, Felicien says she and other committee members will serve as liaisons between athletes and the Canadian Olympic Com- mittee. Among the issues she suspects the committee will address over its four-year tenure is increasing the level of funding for athletes. She also mentioned the criteria for selection of athletes by the vari- ous sports bodies in Canada to the Olympics as another issue. In terms of funding, Felicien says the recent spike in funding for Olympic sports, as well as the new process of awarding of money for medals, will be good for Canadian Olympic athletes, and should pro- duce medal-winning results in the near and long term. “We’re going to see the bene- fits of these things in London (in 2012),” she said. Felicien said she decided to let her name stand for nomination after recalling her first Olympics in Sydney in 2000 where there was some discontent among the Cana- dian athletes there. “I remember at the 2000 Games there was some murmuring and grumbling. I didn’t want to be an athlete who complains and grum- bles. I want to do something about it.” The six members officially begin their four-year term this fall. Fel- icien says she expects to find out details about future meetings. She suspects many meetings will be conducted through tele-conferenc- ing throughout the year, although she expects the committee will meet in person a few times each year. “This is the first time I’ve been nominated, so I don’t know much right now. I know that it won’t con- flict with my training.” The Athletes’ Council is expected to meet for the first time this fall. There, the six summer Olympic athletes will join current winter athlete members Cassie Campbell (hockey), Deidra Dionne (free- style ski), Alexa Loo (snowboard) and Jeff Pain (skeleton), ex-officio members Beckie Scott and Char- maine Crooks as well as Pan Amer- ican sports representative Jaret Llewellyn (water ski) and Victoria Winter (equestrian).

TRAIN SMART PLAY HARD HAVE FUN durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 14 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 25, 2008 Felicien confident skipping Beijing was right move Pickering native back sprinting, hurdling to come, not ruling out indoor track season PICKERING — When asked how she’s feeling right now, you could al- most see Perdita Felicien’s face light up through the phone line. “I’m so happy right now; things are awesome,” she said. “In the summer, I made the decision I made (to bypass the Beijing Olym- pics due to a foot injury) and I have to live with it. In the back of my mind, I thought, ‘Did I make the right deci- sion?’ A couple of months removed from that, I can say, ‘Absolutely, I made the right decision’.” Her comments are based on her continued success in her rehabilita- tion from her stress fracture to her left foot, which has responded well to continued treatment. And, now, with her ankle fully recovered, she’s putting a six-days-a-week foundation of con- ditioning together in advance of actual hurdles training, which she hopes to start in Champagne, Ill., possibly in late October. “My main focus has always been my health and, finally, I’m at a place where (my ankle) can handle the demands on it. I’m having to get fit and conditioned. I know how hard it will be; I know how much effort it’s going to take. It will probably take me a couple months to get that conditioning back...The main thing is re-educating my muscles. I’m not thinking about hurdling until I can sprint like crazy.” In the name of ramping up her fit- ness level, she’s training at various ven- ues throughout the GTA, all of which have held historical significance in her track and field career, including her alma mater, Pine Ridge Secondary School, along with Centennial Stadium in Etobicoke, where she won provincial high school medals in track and field. Will she compete in the internation- al indoor season? Felicien says it’s pos- sible, as her training is definitely ahead of schedule. “I will make that call when I know where my fitness level is. It’s looking like I will do indoors.” Her long-range plan, however, is to be race-ready next summer to compete in the 2009 IAAF World Track and Field Championships in Berlin. While she didn’t compete in Beijing, she was there nonetheless as a track and field commentator for Canadian Olympic broadcaster CBC. She noted being there as a commentator gave her a new perspective on journalists. “They were a great bunch to work with and I didn’t realize how gruel- ling it is. I have a new appreciation for members of the media. It was a great experience. I had the best seat in the house.” ••• Asked about fellow Canadian hur- dler and Whitby native Priscilla Lopes- Schliep’s bronze-medal performance at Beijing, Felicien couldn’t have been more pleased for her Durham Region colleague. “I think she did a great job. The field was wide open for her. Kudos to her; this was her moment. I wish her noth- ing but the best. It will be exciting for the nation to watch and follow the both of us.” ••• Felicien is chronicling her journey back to international competition through her new blog. It can be ac- cessed at perditafelicien.blogspot. com/. News Advertiser file photo Pickering’s Perdita Felicien hopes to be competing again soon as training is going well.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 25, 2008 PAGE 19 Pdurhamregion.com Panthers atoms solid silver at Brian Steele tournament PICKERING — The Pickering Panthers atom ‘A’ rep hockey team struck silver in its first tournament of the season recently. The Panthers compete in the 16-team Hillcrest Summit’s Brian Steele Memorial Hockey Tournament in Toronto. The final against the West Mall Lightning was a one-goal game until late in the third period when the Lightning went ahead and eventually earned a 3-1 win, giving the Panthers the silver. The semifinal pitted the Panthers against the Toronto Royals. Pickering took an early 2-0 lead and held on with strong defence and goaltending, allowing them to proceed to the finals. The Panthers posted a 3-1 record in round-robin play to earn a berth in the semifinals. Pickering lost its first game to the Markham Islanders, but regrouped to earn strong wins over the Toronto Aeros, Toronto Penguins and the Leaside Flames. In six games, due to hard-shooting forwards, great defence and strong goaltending by Matthew Jewson and Riley Fiume, the Panthers scored 21 goals and allowed only eight against. Team members are Fiume, Jewson, Donovan Brown, Andrew Rogers, James Kozey, Andrew Dean, Draiden Arbour, Nicholas Coppa, Josh Jones, David Raguseo, Alessandro Molica-Lazzaro, Liam Coady, Riley Teigen-Katsumi, Ryan Clarke, Noah De- cunha, Brayden Dekker and Matthew Sutton.
