But it broke her heart to see a frail, elderly lady, who’d lost her husband to cancer just months before, going through chemotherapy at the same time. “She had no one, she had no family. She was so sick it broke my heart,” Mrs. Snyders said from her Pickering home. “I said to myself, ‘When I get better, I’m going to do something for breast cancer.’” And 12 years later, Mrs. Snyders and the Bevy of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation are holding the 12th annual Bevy of Bas- WALTER PASSARELLA PHOTO PICKERING -- Cancer survivor Gail Snyders shows one of the Bevy of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation gift baskets she sells each year to raise money for research.

Hundreds of pieces at annual wood carving competition, show in Pickering BY JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- For Brian Ashmore, wood carving is about creating something from nothing. “All you need is a block of wood and a knife, and you can have a piece of art,” the Oshawa senior said. Mr. Ashmore took up carving about 20 years ago, as something to fill the free time of retirement. Now, it’s more passion, than hobby. He was one of hundreds of carvers who gathered at the Pickering Recreation Complex this weekend for ‘Magic in Wood’, the Ontario Wood Carvers Association’s 30th annual competition and show. Mr. Ashmore and fellow members of an Oshawa Senior Citizens Centre carving club sat proudly behind a table laden with intricate carvings, most of them birds and animals. “It looks hard to do, but anyone can learn,” Mr. Ashmore said. Carved ducks in all shapes and sizes were one of the most popular sights at the show. Many carvers said they discovered the hobby after attempting to make duck hunting decoys. Other pieces ranged from tiny carvings of shoes, insects and cars that could fit in the palm of a hand, to massive works of art standing up to six feet tall. Scarborough resident and longtime carver Tom Gallagher was the proud artist behind one of the show’s largest pieces, a massive carving featuring a muscled man and woman balancing in acrobatic poses. “It’s not called Magic in Wood for nothing,” he said chuckling. “It’s amazing what people can do with a few pieces of wood and their imag- ination.” Mr. Gallagher started carving about 30 years ago at a time when he was facing major burnout from his career. He tagged along with friends tak- ing a local carving class and quick- ly fell in love with the challenging nature of the hobby, and its ability to relieve stress. “It’s wonderfully relax- ing and absorbing, when you’re carving you don’t worry about paying the rent or whatever else is on your mind,” Mr. Gallagher said. In all, members of 16 different wood carving clubs were on hand at the show, which featured dem- onstrations, seminars, a silent auction, raffle, children’s activi- ties and every imaginable carving tool, book and supply for sale. While some carvings were strictly for show, many were for sale. Ajax resident Dorothy Roux has been collecting cat fig- urines for decades, and was thrilled to find an intricate carving of a sleep- ing cat, its tail wound tightly around its body. “The detail in some of these is unbelievable, the time that people put in making them,” she said. “It’s nice to buy something from the person who made it, you get a bit of the history.” The show also featured a judged competition with six skill levels ranging from professional to junior, the latter category open to carvers 12 and under. “You’ll see a lot of grey-haired people here, but we are trying to encourage more young people to try carving,” Mr. Gallagher said. “It’s a great hobby for people of any age.” For more information: visit www.ontariowoodcarvers.com newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 30, 20092 AP ‘MAGIC IN WOOD’ Carving out a hobby RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND PICKERING -- Above, Gord Emmerson of the Port Perry Woodcarvers and his steady hands worked on a cane dur- ing the show.

CRIME Cops probe robberies in Pickering, Ajax DURHAM -- Police are investigating three robberies that hap- pened in quick succession early Thursday in Pickering and Ajax. Two of the robberies -- in which a suspect fled the scene on a bicycle -- may be related, Durham police said. The events are: • Shortly after 2 a.m. Sept. 24, three suspects rushed into a Mac’s Milk at Liverpool and Kingston roads in Pickering, taking money out of cash registers and grabbing cigarettes before fleeing. A handgun was seen during the incident but no one was hurt, police said. The suspects are described as black men in their late teens or early 20s. • At about 3:12 a.m. the same day, a lone bandit jumped the counter at a Tim Hortons shop at Harwood Avenue and Rossland Road in Ajax and demanded employees hand over cash, police said. The robber fled on a bicycle. • Just six minutes later, a worker at a 7-11 store at Harwood and Rossland pushed the store’s panic alarm when a male suspect barged in and demanded cash. The would-be robber, whose face was covered, was seen fleeing on a bicycle, described as pos- sibly being a yellow or blue child’s bike. The suspect in the two Ajax robberies is described as a black man in his late teens or early 20s.

Officers on Durham Regional Anti-Violence Intervention Strategy patrol witnessed a vehicle weaving on Hwy. 401 on Fri- day, Sept. 25 around 11:15 p.m. Officers tried to stop the driver, who initially refused. Police didn’t pursue, but safely manoeuvred the vehicle to a stop, near Thickson Road in Whitby. The driver was co-operative with police when stopped. Officers detected a strong smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Two large bags were found in the back seat and 14 vacuum-sealed bags were in the trunk. Jing Wei Jiang, 59, of Appleby Crescent in Markham, was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, flight from police and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000. He was held for a bail hearing. EDUCATION Correction DURHAM -- Charts on provincial test results, which appeared in the Sept. 23 edition of the News Advertiser, con- tained incorrect information. For the 2008/2009 school year, Quaker Village Public School in Uxbridge had the highest percentage of students who met or exceeded the Grade 3 reading standard, and F.M. Heard in Whitby had the highest for Grade 6. For Grade 3 math, Norman G. Powers, Oshawa, and Roland Michener, Ajax, shared the high- est percentage of students who met or exceeded the provincial standard with Maple Ridge Public School, Pickering. The News Advertiser regrets the error. Maintains highest rate for ‘consistent, positive operating results’ DURHAM -- Once again, Durham Region’s credit rating is Triple A OK. Moody’s Investors Service of New York has maintained the Region’s credit rating at Triple A, which is the highest rate. Regional staff met with Moody’s representatives in July to review Durham’s credit rating. In its report, Moody’s noted the Region “relies on five-year fiscal plans in the development of its operating and capital budgets. The five-year plans, which are updated annually, are conservative in nature and help the regional municipal- ity identify future challenges before they arise. “As such, reliance on long-term planning has helped Dur- ham generate consistent, positive operating results and has mitigated borrowing requirements for capital projects,” the Moody’s report noted. The report added, “The reliance on long-term financial planning helps the regional municipality to identify and address fiscal challenges before they arise and ensure the posting of consistent, positive financial results.” Moody’s also pointed to the Region being able to complete projects without having to go into debt, maintaining reserve funds and keeping property tax increases affordable. REGION Durham keeps Triple A credit rating Sites will be open for several months, top doc says BY KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Like health professionals around the world, Durham Region health officials are preparing for an outbreak of H1N1 flu. On Wednesday, Regional council approved using surplus money from the health depart- ment to cover the costs of setting up immuni- zation clinics. And, an assessment centre, which would screen people showing symptoms, could be established, if needed, said Dr. Robert Kyle, the Region’s medical officer of health. The H1N1 clinics would be separate from the annual seasonal flu clinics.. The council decision, Dr. Kyle said, “allows us to use surplus funds, if needed, to open clinics in Durham Region, and an assessment centre. “It’s a very fluid situation,” he added. The health department is “waiting for direc- tion from the Province,” Dr. Kyle said. Unlike seasonal flu clinics, which usually only stay open for a couple of days at a time, H1N1 clinics would be open for three to five months, he stated, adding there would be four or five locations. There are about 40 seasonal flu clinics held in such places as the Regional headquarters, churches, schools or malls. For the H1N1 clinics, “the driver is they are publicly accessible. We can set up our infor- mation technology and leave it at the site,” the doctor stated. In a report to council, Dr. Kyle noted it would cost about $1.14 million to set up five sites and run them for five months. However, the provincial health ministry has also said it would reimburse local health departments for each dose administered. Based on the $5 per dose for each season- al flu shot and about 60,000 people wanting an H1N1 shot, Dr. Kyle estimated Durham would be reimbursed about $600,000. As for an assessment clinic, “we’re in dis- cussions with our community partners. We won’t set up an assessment clinic that’s des- tined to fail,” he said. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 30, 20094 AP 905-723-0282 62 Russett Avenue, Oshawa, ON oshawalittletheatre@rogers.com www.oshawalittletheatre.com Taunton Rd.Somerville St.Russett Ave.Simcoe St.OSHAWA 62 N The Secret’s Out!

For three years, the dog park working group has been working with the City of Pickering to find an appropriate location for the city’s first off-leash dog park that would be safe for residents, children and dogs, and nuisance-free for nearby hom- eowners. “The goal is to make this park a suc- cess, not an area of concern,” working group member Nicole Scarlett said at a recent executive committee meeting. After many other locations were reject- ed, council unanimously approved the location of Grand Valley Park, lands owned by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, west of Valley Farm Road and south of Third Concession Road, to house the park. The 41-hectare area has been used by dog walkers and as an access to the Seaton Hiking Trail in recent years. It will contain a fenced-in park, a parking lot and remaining areas will be reviewed for possible future uses such as new public trail loops and connections. The City had originally intended for Pickering’s first dog park to be a pilot project, but staff and council hope it’ll become permanent since they’ve found an ideal loca- tion. The TRCA has approved the use of the land and the park will go ahead as long as staff approves the site plan. CITY COUNCIL Pickering gets its first dog park The goal is to make this park a success, not an area of concern.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions HEALTH Children with allergies need empathy, understanding To the editor: Re: Why no consideration for those chil- dren with no allergies, Alison Campbell let- ter, Sept. 16. I am angered and disgusted by the igno- rance and selfishness exhibited by Alison Campbell. It is appalling to think that she feels convenience should override a child’s safety and life. Her child has a choice in what he/she can eat without dying; my child does not have that choice. I would gladly trade places with her and have to deal with the inconvenience of not being able to send peanut butter to school, rather than worry about my child dying because he has had contact with peanuts or nuts. I don’t think Ms. Campbell can under- stand the heartache a parent with a child with a life-threatening allergy goes through trying to keep their child safe. Most of the children my son has had contact with are very empathetic and understanding. How sad that it is often the adults who are not so. Lisa Smith Whitby POLITICS Nobody is doing anything to protest the harmonized sales tax To the editor: Former British Columbia Premier Bill Vander Zalm said: “The harmonized sales tax takes from the people, the consum- ers, particularly those who are packing the lunch bucket, the seniors, students, single moms, the people that can least afford to pay yet another tax, and it’s being given to the big corporations.” So where are our MPPs and MPs, the peo- ple we elected to protect us in Ontario? Not one of them is organizing any rallies/ protests similar to B.C. Our opposition is, as we saw in St. Pauls’ riding, conspicuously quiet/absent. All are self serving. A referendum is needed but there are no politicians or parties (worth a single Cana- dian vote in my book) ready to step up to the plate on this. Rupert Cameron Whitby HEALTH Take care to avoid exposing children to peanuts To the editor: Re: Why no consideration for those children with no allergies, Alison Campbell letter, Sept. 16. I take some offence to Alison Campbell’s letter stating children with a peanut aller- gy should eat in a separate room. To place a child in a separate room because of their nut allergy is segregation and cruel to a child, tak- ing away their social interaction. My son has a peanut allergy and his allergist stated there has been a drastic increase in the number of children with peanut allergies. If your child can’t have a peanut butter and jelly sand- wich that wouldn’t harm them, but to a child who has a peanut allergy, depending on their sensitivity to it, it could be fatal. The more someone is exposed to the aller- gen the worse the reaction can get. A school board would not change their policies nor would a business change their production lines to nut-free if it wasn’t a growing prob- lem, not to mention the government passing Sabrina’s Law. Yes, you could get cross-contamination at a park or at the mall, but these cases are extremely rare. In schools, children will trade sandwiches or treats innocently not knowing the potential harm they may cause. This can be avoided with these policies. Elgin Bromell Bowmanville College, university need to work together for Durham’s needs Once upon a time, less than a decade ago, the dream in Durham was for two post-sec- ondary institutions to co-exist as one. Durham College and the as-yet unnamed Durham university would live together on one campus, sharing buildings, adminis- trators, costs, their goals and vision largely a common one. That, at least was the man- tra upon which the University of Ontario Institute of Technology was founded when then Ontario Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced its creation in the Ontario Legis- lature back in 2001. When the University of Ontario Institute of Technology opened in 2003, it had a cozy relationship with Durham College. Its found- ing president, Dr. Gary Polonsky, was at the helm of both institutions and was able to see UOIT’s massive development take off as Dur- ham College helped provide land and fund- ing guarantees. Students, through the years, have been able to share the use of facilities and take advantage of other obvious campus benefits, but as UOIT has grown, it seems the idea of blending with Durham College has not been a comfortable fit for university administra- tors. There has been a move to sever the boards of directors and to disentangle services between the college and university. And when Dr. Polonsky retired in 2006, he was replaced by two new leaders. Ron Bordessa took over at UOIT, where he is currently pres- ident, and Leah Myers first took the helm at Durham College, later to be replaced by cur- rent DC president Don Lovisa. There was a move to create a vice-president of integrated services, a position that could have been led to more linkage between the schools. But the position was never filled, suggesting presi- dents Bordessa and Lovisa weren’t interest- ed in having such an executive. Of late, we have Tom Austin, the universi- ty’s vice-president of finance and chief finan- cial officer saying, “It’s kind of time to go off on your own.” Mr. Austin was talking about the univer- sity’s accounts payable and receivable only, but it’s hard not to read a greater meaning into his words. “It’s our plan over the next coming months to move more into running our own shop,” he said. It’s important the leaders of UOIT and Dur- ham College remember the shared principles under which the Province granted the uni- versity its charter. Without Durham College, there would be no UOIT, nor would UOIT have the means to borrow the funds needed for the massive expansion it has undertaken over the years. The two schools should con- tinue to share resources, especially adminis- tration, buildings and any revenue-generat- ing and cost-reducing mechanisms to bene- fit taxpayers and the institutions themselves. The initials goals of a full and complete post-secondary experience for Durham res- idents under one big umbrella at a reduced cost to the taxpayers still stand and DC and UOIT leaders should do all they can to work together to make it happen. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / letter writers are obliged to back up statements with verifiable facts / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ newsdurhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 30, 20096 P WE ASKED One of the very few drawbacks to the “acting” life, aside from the pill-popping, binge-drinking and chronic nymphoma- niac harassment, is that we don’t often give ourselves permission to take a real vacation. The words long weekend, for example, are meaningless to most actors. For most of us, used to working or even audition- ing only a handful of times a week, a lot of Fridays and Mondays end up being days off, whether we want them or not. For that matter, so do a lot of Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. This sounds like a pretty good deal at first blush, but you have to understand that hand in hand with the lack of work time, usually comes the mindset, typical of the self-unemployed, that idle time is verboten. That unless you want to end up the CEO of the Refrigerator Box Theatre Compa- ny, entertaining the rest of the gang liv- ing under the Bloor viaduct, you’ve got to get busy doing something. Get writing that film, play, book, magazine article. Get a new, better headshot. Get working out. Practise your pole dancing. Some- thing. I don’t mean to undermine productiv- ity. Productivity and motion are wonder- ful things, but never when they’re born out of panic. Then they’re just frenzy. It’s taken me nearly 50 years to fig- ure this out, but, oddly enough, when we do give ourselves permission to stop the motion, be still and relax into some- thing that doesn’t immediately create an income stream or generate opportunities or keep us in the loop, but simply feels good, that is precisely when all the rest of those other, tangible things begin falling into line. If I am stuck for something to say in these pages, for instance, one of the worst things I can possibly do is sit stew- ing at the keyboard, staring and straining at a blinking cursor on a blank screen. Instead, if I allow myself to go out for a walk or a long bike ride or even to sit and listen to the birds in the garden, inevita- bly some creative gift is delivered to me. But I have to make myself relax. That’s the trick. And it’s not always easy. Most of us, from my generation at least, have been raised with the Protestant work ethic firmly tattooed across our fore- heads. Idle hands are the devil’s work- shop and all that. But wasn’t it the Prot- estants who also said, “All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy?” I don’t know. Maybe it was the Druids. They were certainly big on nudity and drinking. But basically what it comes down to, like everything in life, is balance. The yin and yang, positive and negative, inhale and exhale ... motion and stillness. And I’ll throw in trust, too. Trust in the Divine Inspiration or Source or God that you will be fine. Bet- ter than fine actually ... wonderful. Ein- stein has been quoted as saying, “The single most important decision any of us will ever have to make is whether or not to believe that the universe is friendly.” While I think his original quote was: “The single most important decision any of us will ever have to make is whether or not to wear brown shoes with blue slacks,” I still think the former has a lot of validity. And once we have decided the universe is friendly, our next decision should be whether to go fishing or swimming or walking or talking or dreaming ... Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. With the number of soldiers dying in Afghanistan of late, are you concerned about the Canadian mission there? (from left) BARRY AXFORD --‘Certainly, I am worried. We should not be there.

I don’t think they should be there.

They were completely unaware that the camera was pointed in their direction. Notice also the little girl who doesn’t seem quite as thrilled about heading to school as the boys are.

Last I heard from this person was, “peo- ple are killing one another, and there are all kind of crack heats in durham and you want to write about something that was blown outta proportion...good luck with that. you really need to find someone better to do with your life”. Luckily, I do have something better to do with my life and that’s to read polite e- mails from people who might disagree with me but are capable of respectful dialogue on an issue. The final e-mail of the week was also the most meaningful. It began like this: “Thanks to you as well Joanne for taking the time to share your thoughts.” It was from a man who spent 18 years wrongfully accused of murder. Now here’s a guy who could be excused if he were a bit testy. Taking issue with my last column on Marco Trotta, the sender was polite and thoughtful. We enjoyed a thought-provoking exchange of ideas about the role of the media in the courts and not once did he yell at me in all caps or make derogatory comments. He spoke, I listened, both went away happy.

Remem- ber it’s going to get worse before it gets better, you’re going to feel like strangling every person you see. If you have slip ups, it’s OK, you just kind of pick yourself up and keep trying. The only failure is if you give up.” John Hatch Age 18 Oshawa resident “Change up your routine, so you’re not doing things where you expect to smoke.

Try to take the quitting in blocks, get through two hours, then five hours, then the next thing you know it’s a day, then it’s a week and then you’ve done it.” HEALTH Eight weeks later, did they quit smoking? Two of our smokers say they have quit, the third is down to two cigarettes a day BY JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- It’s been eight weeks since Durham residents Marven Whidden, 46, John Hatch, 18, and Sherrie Webber, 26, made the decision to quit smoking as participants in a four-part series featured in Metroland Durham Region Media Group newspapers and on www.newsdurhamre- gion.com. And the verdict is...success. Mr. Whidden and Mr. Hatch have managed to butt out completely, while Ms. Webber is down to two cigarettes a day -- not bad when you consider she was smoking two packs a day or more just a couple months ago. “I will definitely be able to stop completely, “ said Ms. Webber, who used nicotine lozenges and inhalers to fend off cravings. “I’ll probably still have a few relaps- es, but it’s getting easi- er and I’m not giving up.” Mr. Whidden has used Champix medication as his main quitting tool and still has four weeks to go on the medication. But he hasn’t had any slip ups since start- ing and can’t see himself hitting any major obstacles now. “When I do things that used to be a temptation, like playing golf, I don’t even think about smoking anymore,” he said. Mr. Hatch is also in the clear after using nicotine inhalers and gum and making major changes to his routine. “I haven’t smoked since the two setbacks I had back at the beginning,” he said. “I feel great, I’m proud of myself.” Experts from the Durham Region Smoking Cessation Network -- a group of local pharmacists, nurses, doctors, and dentists who are passionate about helping people quit -- provided the participants with resources, guidance and support. Network chairwoman Jane Ling, a local pharmacist, is thrilled with the progress the participants made and said it reflects statistics that show about seven per cent of quit- ters who go it along achieve success, compared with 30 per cent who seek help from health care professionals. Ms. Ling said it helped her as a health care provider to see how the various quitting products worked for each person, and how individualized the quitting process was. “Some people are able to quit in a week or two without much trouble, for others it may take 14 attempts. Everyone is different,” she said. “A product that works well for you might not be right for someone else, you may have to try different things.” Ms. Ling said the key is not to get discouraged and to ask for help, whether from a family doctor, pharmacist, public health department or community resource like the Cana- dian Cancer Society Smoker’s Helpline. “I’m very proud of Marven, Sherrie and John,” she said. “I hope their stories will inspire a lot of other people to quit.” JOHN HATCH The only failure is if you give up. - Sherrie Webber RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND WHITBY -- Experts from the Durham Region Smoking Cessation Network helped our three participants in their quest to quit smoking.

Wynne-win with 600 more books for library BY KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Students at Terry Fox Public School in Ajax have 600 more good reasons to visit their library. Ontario Education Minister Kathleen Wynne visited the school Monday morn- ing to let some students know about the new books and materials. The provincial govern- ment announced a second phase of fund- ing to buy new books and other resources for school libraries. The second phase of $10 million was announced in May. “Overall, it’s a $25-million injection of fund- ing in libraries,” she said in an interview. For Terry Fox, it means 600 books and other materials. “It’s very exciting. The diversity of materials. There are graphic novels. We’ve always had comic books. These (graphic novels) are an extension of that,” Ms. Wynne stated. Some of the materials include talking books, so youths can follow along. “There’s MP3 player books as well.” Also, there are books in other languages, such as Farsi, the main language of Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries in southern Asia. “If children are literate in their first lan- guage, they’ll do better at their second lan- guage and third language,” Ms. Wynne said. “It’s an injection libraries haven’t had in the past.” Joined by Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dickson, Ms. Wynne read When Stella was Very, Very Small to 2 grades 1 and 2 students. “We’ve been so excited about our govern- ment giving money to schools,” she told the children. Among the books the children enjoyed reading were Chester, Scaredy Squirrel, Arthur and Super Dog. One boy liked Robert Munsch, and one girl liked his book The Paper Bag Princess. Ms. Wynne said of The Paper Bag Princess “I read that to my children. I have a grand- daughter and I will read that to her.” “I hope you have a lifetime of reading. It’s just a wonderful, wonderful gift,” Ms. Wynne said. Jevaun Whittingham, a Grade 2 pupil, said he likes reading “because reading has a lot of words you can learn from.” When asked if he reads a lot, Jevaun said, “Yeah, sometimes. Sometimes I like to take a break from reading.” Mira Armstrong, also in Grade 2, said she likes reading “because it’s a really good activ- ity and some books you get to learn about.” Her favourite book is A Panda is Born because, “My favourite animal are pandas and I like to learn about them.” Mira also likes reading “because reading a lot can be kind of fun.” newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 30, 200912 AP DON’TMISSOUT LOOK FOR YOUR FLYER IN TODAY’S PAPER Accommodation Review Committee (ARC) East Oshawa Secondary Wednesday, October 21, 2009 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm Eastdale CVI 265 Harmony Road North Oshawa, Ontario Thisisthesecondoffourpublicmeetingsscheduled.

Teacher, student honoured by Durham District School Board with Mather, Burch awards for their contributions BY CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- It’s not unusual for Glen Wraith to start his work day on a farm and end it on a leather sofa. His role as a co-op instructor at Port Perry High School takes him to all kinds of businesses, and on Monday, it helped take him to the Durham District School Board where he was recognized as this year’s Bruce Mather Award winner. Trustees also recognized Lindsay McGowan, a former Pickering High School student with the Craig Burch Award. “My first reaction was embarrass- ment,” Mr. Wraith said, standing before Durham District School Board trustees during their Sept. 21 meeting. He was embarrassed at first because he believes his successes are the result of those he’s worked with, but he was also deeply honoured, Mr. Wraith added, reading from a speech. The award includes $300 for Mr. Wraith to use toward his projects at the school. Those who contributed to his nomi- nation package include administration, teaching faculty, facilitators, students and people who have helped with co-op placements. “He pioneered the Build a House pro- gram, which was one of the board’s first pre-apprenticeship programs,” said Mar- tyn Beckett, director of education. “Glenn has mentored and inspired countless young teachers. He has been an icon in the community and has gar- nered respect from employers around the region. His leadership style, exem- plary organization and creativity have opened up a vast wealth of cooperative education placements for Port Perry stu- dents.” Ms. McGowan was unable to attend the board meeting because she is away at Laurentian University where she is taking concurrent education. For her contributions to her Ajax school and community, Ms. McGowan received a $1,000 scholarship. “Lindsay has done an excellent job of combining her academic requirements with her extra-curriculum pursuits,” Mr. Beckett said. “In her Grade 12 year, Lindsay man- aged to balance two part-time jobs, was a member of Pickering’s curling and golf teams and attained recognition as an Ontario Scholar.” Her successes include obtaining more than 800 hours of community service; participating in two Samaritan Purse: Operation Christmas Child trips; man- aging Pickering High School’s girls’ soft- ball team; being a peer tutor and receiv- ing the Pro Meritis Award for the 2008- 2009 school year. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 30, 200913 AP “Experience the Lifestyle” You’re in Owasco Country We won’t be undersold!!!

The University of Ontario Institute of Technology’s (UOIT) Automotive Centre of Excellence is expected to meet its spring 2010 completion target, while work on the university’s Energy Research Centre is get- ting underway. “We’ll be closing the (ACE) roof in the next short while,” said Tom Austin, vice president of financing, to the school’s board of gover- nors at its September meeting. “Construc- tion is progressing famously.” This spring, the project received $28 mil- lion in provincial and federal funding. The ACE is a 146,219-square-foot facility, currently under construction, for lab and industry-sponsored research. ACE-Glob- al includes a large climatic wind tunnel for cars, buses, trucks, trains and airplane wings and a rolling road. The university will begin looking for mechanical and electrical engineers for when the machinery subsystems are com- missioned, according to the report present- ed. “By and large, we’re doing fairly well,” Mr. Austin said. What they’ve got with the ACE is a big new machine and there’s always the chance it could be plugged in and not work, he added. “Being that, if we plug it in and all the lights go brown and nothing happens, we may not meet 2010,” he said, but added he doesn’t think that will happen. Work is also underway for the school’s Energy and Research Centre, which received $45.4 million in government funding. Fenc- ing and machinery were in place at the site as of Aug. 31. The project is scheduled for completion in March 2011. “We are actually going to have our shovel in the ground very early compared to other university projects,” Mr. Austin said.

Tickets for baskets starting at values of $125 will be on sale for $2 each or $5 for three at various Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa and Whitby locations throughout Octo- ber, Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A similar raffle is held every spring. After learning her hair dresser raffled off a basket of products to raise money for breast cancer in 1997, Mrs. Snyders decided to do the same, but on a wider scale. So she went to every retailer she could think of and got enough companies on board to put together baskets to raffle off. “I had no idea how it was going to go,” she said. But each year since then, Bevy of Hope has continued to grow. After donating for the first few years to the Canadian Can- cer Society, Mrs. Snyders chose to put the funds specifically toward purchasing cancer equipment for local hospitals, such as the Rouge Valley Health System (both Ajax and Scarborough sites) and Lakeridge Health’s R.S. McLaughlin Dur- ham Regional Cancer Centre in Oshawa. The event has been running strong since then, except for last spring when Mrs. Snyders couldn’t hold the raffle because she’d been diagnosed with a more aggressive form of breast cancer than the previous time and was too sick to run it. She not only has to seek out donations and spaces to hold the raffles, but also has to pick up the donations, assemble the baskets and bring the products to the raffle locations. But after overcoming cancer yet again, Mrs. Snyders is back at it this year. “I let my hair grow long, just so I could say, ‘Look, it does grow back’,” she said. In fact, Mrs. Snyders does even more for women battling cancer. She literal- ly opens her front door to anyone who wants to talk or she’ll make herself avail- able for telephone conversations for peer support. “I’ve got a good shoulder to cry on,” she said. And although Mrs. Snyders fears the cancer will come back, the motivation to help others keeps her strong. “I’ve lost six of my volunteers to breast cancer and that’s very hard,” she said. “And that, I think, is what keeps me going.” Mrs. Snyders is anticipating a very busy month and would appreciate any- one who wishes to volunteer. Shifts at the basket tables are three hours long. “I couldn’t do this without the spon- sors and I couldn’t do it without the vol- unteers,” she said. “They’re vital.” To volunteer, or for Mrs. Snyders’ peer support: CALL 905-839-0690 I let my hair grow long, just so I could say, ‘Look, it does grow back.’ Gail Snyders PICKERING from page 1 BEVY OF HOPE Pickering woman spearheads cancer campaign, offers ‘shoulder to cry on’ FAST FACTS Bevy of Baskets Raffles will take place at the following locations during business hours: PICKERING * Pickering Town Centre (1355 Kingston Rd.): Thursday, Oct. 1 to Sunday, Oct. 4 and Thursday, Oct. 29 to Sunday, Nov. 1 AJAX * Costco (150 Kingston Rd.

Enroll now Get good grades Best year ever! Education ADVERTISING FEATURE Math basics are a fundamental part of our everyday life. While a student may not ever need to calculate the distance to the planet Jupiter, knowing simple multiplication tables and other math basics are skills that nobody should ever be without. “In School, math basics are taught sequentially, building one new con- cept on the previous,” says Tom Hawks of Oxford Learning. “If one basic concept is not understood, then trying to learn a new concept becomes very difficult.” In the early grades, children may stumble with basic math concepts because they do not know their addition and subtraction facts. Children need to be comfortable adding and subtracting digits up to 20. In higher grades, multiplication and division facts up to the 12 times table are the biggest challenge. If students do not know these, they often have difficulty with fractions and decimals; if students don’t know fractions and decimals, they’ll struggle with algebra. Each new math concept builds on the concept that came previously. Without a solid understanding, acquiring new math skills becomes very difficult. Using a calculator isn’t the solution either; calculators do not help stu- dents develop better math understanding—it only helps them get the right answer! To properly understand math, a student needs get back to basics. The sooner that a student masters the basics of math and develops real understanding, the easier that math becomes. Unfortunately, even if students practice math problems every night, they may still not see as much improvement as they’d like. That’s because proper study skills are important as well, and are not always taught in school. To improve math understanding and results, often students must fill-in math skill gaps by re-learning fundamental math concepts and re-building basic math knowledge. Oxford Learning’s math curriculum helps students of all ages and skill levels build a solid foundation of math understanding, learn problem solving strategies and improve their study skills. “Developing a better grasp of concepts and learning how to apply prob- lem-solving and understanding are the keys to not having to memorize.” says Tom Hawks. “Improved study skills are part and parcel with develop- ing real math understanding and proficiency.” For more information on how students can improve their math basics and study skills, contact Oxford Learning in Pickering 420-3141, Ajax 683-6660 or visit oxfordlearning.com Making Math Add Up from Oxford Learning newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 30, 200917 APSportsBrad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.com RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND BOWMANVILLE -- Chris Moore, of the Bowmanville Eagles, slid into the crease and popped the puck past Pickering Panthers’ goalie Anthony Kimlin on Sunday. The Panthers dropped a 7-3 decision, and are now without a win in eight outings to start the season. Still searching for first win after eight starts BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- It may not be time for desperation just yet, but the panic button is certainly within reach. Eight games into the Central Canadian Hockey League sea- son, the Pickering Panthers are still searching for their first win. A couple of weekend setbacks leave them with just two points for a pair of overtime losses out of a pos- sible 16. It’s certainly not the start they wanted and it’s definitely not something the hockey club wants to prolong. After being relatively competitive in five of the first six losses, the Pan- thers were outscored 15-6 on the weekend in dropping an 8-3 home ice decision to Whitby on Friday and a 7-3 final in Bowmanville on Sunday. Understandably, coach Bill Brady is noticing morale in the dressing room is starting to slip. “I think it’s borderline at best,” he said of the club’s demeanour. “I think it can go either way. We’re at that time right now where they need something positive to turn them around. It’s got to happen sooner than later. They need some- thing to motivate them and get them back in the right mindset. “We need to play a complete game and get some confidence. The first four or five hockey games we were right in. Now the last cou- ple we really haven’t been in them. The guys need to feel good about themselves and have a game where they feel they can compete for 60 minutes and that’s our biggest thing right now. We’re not playing 60 minutes.” The Panthers are finding different ways to lose and, on the weekend, that recipe included falling behind early and being forced to play catch up. Friday against Whitby, the visiting Fury jumped out to a 6-0 lead just six minutes into the second period before the Pan- thers finally got on the board. Sun- day in Bowmanville, the Panthers went down 3-0 in the first and were behind 5-1 just under four minutes into the second period. “We’re falling behind early and we don’t have an abundance of offence to get back in it,” noted Brady, pointing out that his club rallied back against Bowmanville to make it 5-3, then missed an open- net opportunity before allowing the final two goals of the game. “I guess we were never out of the game, but we were really never in it,” he added of the Bowmanville loss. “We had a chance to get back into it and we didn’t take advantage of it.” The Panthers (0-6-2) will try to get into the win column again tonight when they host Orangeville (4-1-1) at 7:30 p.m. at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The week- end will feature a trip to Wellington on Friday, and a home date with Bowmanville on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. THE SCOOP -- Defenceman Jesse Hebscher had a pair of goals in the loss to Whitby, but could be facing a lengthy suspension as a result of game misconduct for interference from the bench and an abuse of officials match pen- alty for physically contacting a linesman with 37 seconds left in Sunday’s game in Bowmanville ... Kyle Purias had the other goal in the Whitby loss. Blair Falotico had three assists, while Mike Shir- ley chipped in with a pair and Jus- tin MacDonald had one ... Mac- Donald had a three-point night in Bowmanville with two goals and an assist. Kyle Ramsay had the other goal. Assists went to Purias (1), Brandon Parks (1), Falotico (1) and Shirley (2) ... Anthony Kim- lin was in net for both games, fac- ing 39 Whitby shots and 44 against Bowmanville. HOCKEY Confidence fragile for Panthers HOCKEY Ajax Attack drops pair of weekend games Losing streak extended to three AJAX -- A promising start has evened out for the Ajax Attack. After winning three of its first four games to open the Canadian Central Hockey League, the Attack has been on the wrong end of the past three games, including a pair of weekend losses on home ice. Friday, the Attack was edged 3- 2 in a shootout to Wellington, and also came up short Sunday after- noon, dropping a 5-3 decision to Stouffville. Blake Boddy opened the scor- ing against Wellington just 5:23 into the first period, but the Attack found itself down 2-1 entering the third. A power play goal by Jonny Simone midway through the final period evened the score, and with- out a goal in overtime, a shoot- out was needed. Jordan Ramsay, Boddy and Jordan Reed were all stopped, while Wellington’s Sean Rudy beat Attack netminder Frank Gallo for the winner. Prior to the shootout, Gallo had stopped 41 of the 43 shots he faced. Sunday, Ajax was behind 4-1 midway through the third period, the lone bright spot a Mike Sulli- van power-play goal in the second period, before rallying. Goals by Jordan Ramsay and Steve Douitsis brought them to within one, but Stouffville ended the game with the final goal of the afternoon with just one second left. Adam Stein tended goal for the Attack, facing 35 shots. The weekend leaves Ajax with a record of 3-3-1 heading into Markham on Friday and home to Newmarket on Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Ajax Community Centre. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 30, 200918 AP 77 Centennial Road, Ajax • 905.683.0740 www.ajaxsoccerclub.ca Ajax Thunder U13 Ajax Venom U12Ajax Strikers U14 Ajax Gunners U16Ajax Storm U17 This is only the second time in the history of the Provincial Championship’s 108 year history that one club has produced 5 Championship teams in one season!

Wilson of Whitby both lose DURHAM -- The first week of LOSSA football action provided a few surprises. Both the Donald A. Wil- son Gators, of Whitby, and Ajax’s Pickering High School Trojans are in an unfamiliar spot heading into Week 2 following a loss for each team in the opening week of play. In Courtice, Holy Trin- ity and Pickering put on an excellent display of defensive and hard-hitting football with both teams threatening to score in the first half. The Trojans had their best drive ended by a Titans interception, while Holy Trinity was stopped on the goal line late in the half as it attempted to build on its 3-0 lead. Then, in the third quar- ter, the Trojans benefited from a Titan turnover on the one-yard line, as Mar- ley Patterson scored the game’s first touchdown. The game remained 7- 3 into the final seconds when Holy Trinity broke through the Trojan defence from the one-yard line for a touchdown. However, an illegal procedure call nul- lified the score and placed the ball five yards back. Quarterback Jermaine Felix then took it upon himself on the next play, scampering 11 yards for the score with just two seconds remaining. The convert followed and Holy Trinity posted the 10-7 win. The St. Mary and Wilson game was played under the lights at Oshawa’s Civic Fields and Dillon Camp- bell returned to the lineup after missing last season due to an injury and led the Monarchs to a 21-14 victory over the defending LOSSA champion Gators. In other tier I senior action, the Paul Dwyer Saints turned back the Perry Rebels 30-7 on the strength of two Mark Cockerton touchdowns, while the Pine Ridge Pumas beat the Uxbridge Tigers 31-6 with four dif- ferent Pumas recording touchdowns. Meanwhile, a pair of teams making the jump from tier II, the Ajax Rams and J. Clarke Richardson Storm, both won. The Rams posted an impressive 28-0 victory over the Dunbarton Spar- tans with touchdowns from Kash Reddick, Jayden Peliti, Delon Hub- bard and Tyrone Izzard. Mike Dancy and Nathan Cheung picked up safe- ties. The Storm victory was likely the bigger surprise as the team defeated Oshawa’s Eastdale Eagles 23-6. In the tier II senior loop, the O’Neill Red Hawks posted a 45-0 victory over the Bowmanville Talons, led by the two touchdowns, six converts and single point earned by Josh Smallwood. St. Stephen’s, meanwhile, earned its first ever senior victory, dismantling the Clarington Central Coy- otes 45-0. Connor Vale led the attack scoring two majors and three con- verts, while Riley Johnson also found the end zone twice. In tier I junior, Pickering downed Holy Trinity 26- 12 with Raekwon Grant scoring three touch- downs, while Wilson over- came St. Mary in a high- scoring affair, 44-33. San- jay Francis and George Papadakos accounted for seven touchdowns. Dwyer scored early and often in the first half of its game against Port Perry and posted a 32-0 victo- ry, while Pine Ridge beat Uxbridge 43-20. Seven first-half touch- downs set the pace for Ajax as it laid a 51-20 drubbing on Dunbarton, while Eastdale got past Richardson 33-6. Two touchdowns by Darien Arscott paced Denis O’Connor to a 21-8 victory over Sinclair in tier II junior action, while St. Stephen’s downed Clar- ington Central 43-6. Matt Peters led the way with two touchdowns, six con- verts and a single. JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND COURTICE -- Pickering High School’s Travis Bent, left, was tackled by Holy Trinity’s Shayne Winner during the opening week in LOSSA senior boys’ football action at Holy Trinity Secondary School. Pickering dropped a 10-7 decision. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 30, 200919 AP SIMCOE -- The Ajax Turboz returned home from the last tour- nament of the season as Lake Sim- coe champions. The U10 girls’ team came out strong in the first game, securing a 3-0 victory against Markham Lightning. Then in Game 2, the team took down Vaughan Azzuri Storm by another 3-0 count. To secure its spot in the final, the Turboz beat Peterborough City 4- 0. From there, the team advanced to face South Simcoe United and posted a 2-1 victory to advance into the championship final. The final was a tough battle with both the Turboz and New- market United giving everything they had. The game ended with the two teams tied at 0-0, which meant penalty kicks determined the tournament champion. While goals were hard to come by in regular time, they were hit- ting the back of the net consistent- ly in the penalty-kick session and Ajax eventually emerged with a 4- 3 victory for the tournament title. Strong defensive play by defend- ers Ashna Hudani, Raquel Corre- ia, Alexia Russell-Riordan, Kiara Shaw and goalkeeper Rebecca Anderson led to four shutouts out of the five games played, while excellent passing and strong shooting by all forwards including Megan Upton, Katie Parker, Taylor Annan, Shantae Johnson, Nicole Valentim, Daneka Elms, Julianna Bastow and strikers Julia Papa, Sheridan Pearce, created many scoring opportunities. The team, sponsored by The Portly Piper, Optical 20/20, Dr. Mehran Gholami Dentistry, Annandale Golf Club and Base- line Collision, is coached by Kevin Anderson, Dave Valentim, Jen Upton, Mario Papa and team Manager Nancy Elms.

HOCKEY Generals drop two games BY BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- As encouraging as the signs were for the Oshawa Gener- als through the first weekend of the season, they were in equal measure discouraging this past weekend. After opening the Ontario Hock- ey League season by taking three points from a two-game western road trip, the Generals returned home to the General Motors Cen- tre this past weekend, only to let both games slip away. They did manage a single point Sunday, losing 4-3 in overtime to the Sudbury Wolves, but a spec- tacular collapse late in the second period Friday resulted in a 6-4 loss to the Peterborough Petes in the home opener. In that game, played before a crowd of 4,048, two giveaways and a screened point shot turned a 4-2 Generals lead into 5-4 deficit in the final 1:23 of the second period. The Petes’ Matt Quesnele tied the game with 26 seconds left on the clock, then scored what proved to be the winner with less than a tick remain- ing. “Two minutes cost us the two points, basically that’s how you look at it,” said Generals coach/GM Chris DePiero, who was frustrated at squandering a strong start, one that had produced a 2-0 first-peri- od lead. “That’s unacceptable. If we play a certain way, we can be very effective and we showed that for the first 38 minutes of the game.” Although he was critical of break- downs in front of goalie Michael Zador during the middle frame, DePiero was clearly also miffed at the play of Zador himself, as he pulled him in favour of Kevin Bailie to start the third period. “My expectation for him is that he needs to be a difference maker,” DePiero said of Zador, a draft pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning. “He wasn’t as sharp as we would have liked.” Bailie, who stopped a penalty shot early in the third period and looked sharp for the remainder of Friday’s game, was given the nod again Sunday, when the Generals came back from a 2-0 deficit to take a 3-2 lead, but again failed to hold it. Daniel Lombardi tied the game for the Wolves midway through the third period, and John McFarland ended it 40 seconds into overtime. The Generals (1-1-2) won’t have to wait long for another crack at the Petes (3-2-0), with a 7 p.m. Thurs- day game in Peterborough. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 30, 200920 AP Direct Line Environmental Corp.( a subsidiary of GFL Waste and Recycling Solutions Corp.) is seeking an Executive Assistant.
