Government Rebates Available Anticipation palpable for arguably the biggest concert to hit Durham Region BY JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Full disclosure right up front -- I’m not a huge KISS fan. Which makes it that much more impres- sive that last night’s show left a huge smile on my face. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I waited outside the General Motors Centre at dusk, surrounded by thousands of excited KISS fans decked out in band T-shirts, face paint, wigs, hats and masks. The lines of peo- ple waiting to enter the arena’s three gates snaked down the streets and around the building, the anticipation palpable in the cool night air. Even though the doors weren’t set to open until 7 p.m., many had been there since before 4 p.m. peering through the windows and checking out the tour buses and tractor trailers that filled the back parking lot. A father and son in front of me tapped their feet and checked their watches every few minutes, counting down the minutes to 7 p.m. When the doors swung open, the crowd cheered. Two guys in Gene Simmons wigs high-fived and flashed each other the bassist’s trademark tongue. With no opening act on the bill, KISS was slated to take the stage at 7:30 p.m. but when people were still filing into their seats at 8:30, it became apparent that we were in for a wait. The crowd was pumped but patient, filling the time by intermit- tently chanting “we want KISS” or doing the wave, as local radio per- sonalities tossed free T-shirts into the audience. When the arena was plunged into darkness at 9:30 p.m., the roar was deafening -- and so was the monstrous explo- sion that rocked the stage and reverberated though my chest. Fans aren’t kidding when they say the KISS stage show is legendary. Over the course of the two-hour set, we were treat- ed to blinding pyrotech- nics so hot that I could feel the heat on my face from my vantage point in one of the highest rows. Gene Simmons breathed fire and dribbled blood from his mouth, while Paul Stanley took flight during one song, zipping across the arena on a pulley, to land on a platform set in the middle of the crowd. There was smoke, sirens, strobe lights, confetti cannons and giant screens that gave every seat in the house a close-up view of the band members’ painted faces and Gene Simmons’ wagging tongue. The band wasn’t particularly chatty between songs, but what they did say elic- ited screams of approval. “Did you really believe we weren’t going to come to see you?” Stanley asked early on in the set, drawing a roar when he referred to the city as ‘Shwa.’ “It’s cities like you that make it all happen.” They didn’t rock and roll all night, but when things wound down around 11:30 p.m., the crowd seemed blissfully sated and I walked to my car humming Modern Day Delilah, one of the catchier songs from the band’s new release Sonic Boom. I probably won’t be joining the KISS Army any time soon, but I have to tip my hat to anyone who can play a flaming guitar in platform boots and look good doing it.

Congratulations to Sight and Sound Music Services on the Grand Opening of their new location. Steve Ernst owner of Sight and Sound and his staff celebrated Tuesday afternoon with Mayor, Steve Parish, members of the Ajax/Pickering Board of Trade, Whitby Chamber of Commerce, family and friends. Their new location is located at 676 Monarch Ave. Unit #3, Ajax. Shown in the smaller picture is Matt Bibeau of Sight and Sound, Mayor, Steve Parish and Steve Ernst owner of Sight and Sound Music Services. They have been in business for over 33 years and are pleased to offer their many services from their new location. Grand Opening Celebration ADVERTISEMENT Consultant team chosen to shape intensification PICKERING -- Despite skepticism from some council members, the planning and development committee chose a consulting firm to help plan for Picker- ing’s intensification requirements. In 2007 the City hired Young & Wright Architects (which has since merged with IBI Group) as the urban design consul- tants for the Downtown Pickering Pro- gram. Now, if approved by council on Oct. 21, the consultants will also complete the urban design component of the Growth Strategy Program in order to conform with the Province’s Places to Grow pro- gram, which calls for 40 per cent of all residential development to be in the City’s built-up area. The work has a limit of $65,000, which was already approved in the 2009 bud- get. When Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson learned the consulting team has made $110,000 from the City so far after working on numerous projects, he said he was unaware of the work. “I must be missing a lot,” he said. “I only see Styrofoam buildings.” Planning and development director Neil Carroll explained the work con- ducted by Y&W/IBI is often done behind the scenes, providing expertise on items out of Pickering staff’s expertise. Hir- ing an urban design staff member would cost twice as much as using the consul- tants, he said. Acting chief administrative offi- cer Tom Melymuk said the company has worked hard on the downtown, and added Y&W/IBI talked the Ministry of Transportation out of turning provincial land on Liverpool Road and Hwy. 401 into a gigantic parking lot, something the City was strongly against. Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles expects examples of the company’s work at the next council meeting. CITY COUNCIL Pickering downtown plans moving ahead DOUG DICKERSON newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 9, 20094 AP TRADITION Pickering plans site for Hindu sacred ashes Edge of Duffin Creek in Brockridge Park site proposed BY EMILY MATHIEU newsroom@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Hindus across the GTA longing to fol- low ancient tradition may soon be able to immerse the ashes of their loved ones in a stream close to home. “We have selected a location in one of our parks that has a stream running through it. This would allow for scattering on water and a pleasant venue to accom- modate people,” said Pickering Mayor David Ryan. “My hope is it becomes a reality in the next couple of months.” The City hasn’t formally applied to create a plat- form for this purpose, but officials are talking with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to ensure the proposed project would not affect the creek or downstream waterways. Statistics Canada in 2001 put the number of Hindus in the Toronto metropolitan census area at more than 190,000, a number sure to have risen since then. The issue is not without contro- versy. In 2004, Credit Valley Conservation asked the TRCA to look into what it regards as an environmen- tal problem: people dropping flowers, coconuts, jew- elry and clothing into the Credit River and Fletcher’s Creek in Brampton. Some of those items are offerings used in Hindu rituals, but not funerals. Since then, the TRCA has been working with the Hindu community to find a solution and clear up confusion about what can be permitted in waterways. “I think the perception is that the ashes are not an issue because of the state (the ashes) are in once they are fully cremated. But it is these other objects which have to be avoided,” said Joanne Jeffery, the Toronto authority’s manager for stewardship. Jeffery said more research is needed into the chemi- cal composition of ashes and the carrying capacity of waterways. “Anything that you put in the water could have an impact,” she said. Credit Valley Conservation doesn’t permit scatter- ing ashes on its land, according to a report issued to board members in September. Pickering’s approach is to welcome Hindus and others who wish to scatter ashes to carry out those rituals in a single location. The plan would be to place a large rock slab, with steps, at the edge of Duffin Creek in Brockridge Park, at Brock Road and Finch Avenue. Mayor Ryan said the platform would be created with the needs of Pickering residents in mind, but would be open to anyone. “We have had conversations with the local Hindu temple, who we feel would be the first and largest user group,” he said. Pandit Roopnauth Sharma, a Hindu priest and president of the Hindu Federation, said there is a lot of confusion about the prac- tice. “We know for sure that there is no adverse effect from the distribution of ashes in a body of water. “Every community that comes to Canada brings with them their own traditions. We know we need this. This is something required by people who live in this land and we need to facili- tate.” Emily Mathieu is a reporter with the Toronto Star METROLAND FILE PHOTO PICKERING -- Pandit Roopnauth Sharma, left, Hindu Federation President, and Pandit Damodar Sharma, Head Priest, Devi Temple Pickering, offered cleansing prayers to the Pickering Beachfront area, during a ash scatter- ing announcement by the Province in June. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 9, 20095 AP INCOME TAX COURSE CURRICULUM – During the 12-week course, students study the basics of income tax preparation including current laws, theory and application.

Residents buying hand sanitizer, asking questions, say pharmacists BY MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- People are more aware that flu season is coming this year and are arm- ing themselves with tools to ward off illness, according to local pharmacists. Hand sanitizer was flying off the shelves dur- ing the back-to-school rush because parents were concerned about the second wave of the H1N1 flu virus, said pharmacist Jane Ling. Parents were looking for mini-bottles of gel to put in lunch boxes to make sure hands were clean before eating, she said. “There are definitely a lot of questions,” said Ms. Ling, who works in three pharmacies. “Everyone is wondering what will happen this winter.” This is the most concern Pickering pharmacist Jennifer Van Alstyne has seen during a flu season in her 20 years working in pharmacy, she said. Customers are asking about the difference between flu and colds, how to prevent the flu, about vac- cines to prevent illness and when they will be availabl. The key to staying healthy is keeping your hands clean and maintaining a healthy life- style, Ms. Van Alstyne said she tells her clients at Shoppers Drug Mart in Pickering. “It’s all about prevention,” she said. Ms. Van Alstyne has also seen an increase in customers looking for hand sanitizer, whether it be for their children or to have with them if they are travelling, she said. Overall, it’s promising that residents are aware of the impending flu sea- son, she said. “I think it’s good that everyone is planning and will be well prepared.” H1N1 People are more aware of flu season this year SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND PICKERING -- Pharmacist Jennifer Van Alstyne holds out a H1N1 checklist that she uses to explain to customers about the virus. & A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions ALLERGIC REACTION Lives shouldn’t be at risk over lunch sandwiches To the editor: I would like to respond to Shannon Tay- lor and others who feel that peanut butter should be allowed in schools. I am sorry that Ms. Taylor feels she would have starved to death without the peanut butter choice. But that is a choice, that she and her parents made. A picky eater is just that, a picky eater, and parents make a choice to feed into that. A child will not starve to death; eventually he or she will eat when hungry, peanut but- ter or not, unlike my son and grandson who are allergic to peanut butter and would die. If they accidently touched another child who had eaten peanut butter and then touched their hands to their mouths, it could be game over. Small children are always putting their hands in their mouths and this can’t be controlled. Shame on Ms. Taylor and others who think they should put others’ lives at risk simply to enjoy peanut butter. How selfish. Dianne Fil Oshawa Kids must be made aware of dangerous foods To the editor: Re: Shame that peanut butter is restricted, letter to the editor, Oct. 1. I find it quite ironic that Shannon Taylor pointed out in her letter that she would have starved to death if she couldn’t eat a pea- nut butter sandwich every day of her school years seeing that a trace amount could potentially kill my own child. Sure, peanut butter is inexpensive and nutritious. It’s also deadly to, as she points out, a small percentage of children. I am grateful to be part of a school community that is well educated on anaphylaxis and the dangers of life-threatening food aller- gies to children and is committed to being a peanut-fee zone, staff, students and parents alike.Sure, there are children who only eat certain foods. It is our job as parents to edu- cate our children that some foods can be dangerous to their friends. Imagine the grief a child would go through knowing their lunch harmed or killed their own friend. It is important for our children to know that certain foods pose a potential risk to their classmates. Kids are pretty percep- tive and understanding if you take the time to explain a situation. Nothing makes me angrier than the selfish attitude that your child’s need for a peanut butter sandwich is more important than my child’s life. Allison Lemmings Whitby HARMONIZED TAX Liberals should lower provincial tax rate To the editor: Re: ‘People will simply get used to paying new harmonized sales tax’, letter to the edi- tor, Oct. 1. According to Ron Horner, “People would have been just as upset had the Progressive Conservatives brought in the (HST) tax.” Yes, we would have been just as upset. However, the tax is being brought in by a Liberal government that has broken every promise it made before being elected. The Liberals have a long history of using increased taxes to carry out their social agenda and help their friends to lucrative contracts. eHealth and the OLGC are prime examples of Liberal governments giving their friends uncontrolled access to taxpay- ers’ money. If Premier Dalton McGuinty wanted to be fair, he would have lowered the provincial tax rate before introducing the tax so that the combined lower tax rate would compensate for the additional services, etc. which will now be taxed. The Harper Conservative government in Ottawa has lowered taxes. All Premier McGuinty has done since coming to power is increase taxes. We will not forget. Wilfred L. Camilleri Oshawa Working together to improve our communities, $20 at a time Pay-it-forward approach benefits everyone Once in awhile, circumstance and ambi- tion can collide, resulting in something altogether different, even awe-inspiring. Throw a handful of passionate and social- ly aware individuals in the mix and you’ve got The Day of Hope and Leadership. So it was in Oshawa last week with the launch of an ambitious new social proj- ect to engage ordinary citizens in mak- ing their communities better places to live and grow. The initiative sees local leaders and everyday citizens gathering for an inspi- rational and insightful experience to pro- mote community engagement, better- ment of our neighbourhoods and per- sonal and professional development. Organizers of the Day of Hope and Lead- ership intend to tour 30 communities in 30 months, spreading its twin message across North America. At the first Oshawa event this week, life- affirming discussions and entertaining speakers provided the intellectual stimu- lation for those seeking ways to improve their communities, while $20 for each of the 250 people in attendance, given to them with the proviso that they use it for something positive right here at home, provided the practical motivation. And participants at the event took it to heart. Whether the money was used to bright- en a day for colleagues at work, or was pooled to purchase needed supplies for a local charity, the $5,000 total quickly made its way into the community in vari- ous ways, and all of them positive. This is a brilliant concept that should be promoted aggressively and wholly sup- ported by citizens, governments and busi- ness leaders alike. In a society that struggles with 21st century challenges, in an economy that remains in transition, The Day of Hope and Leadership provides a needed con- trast, a positive diversion to focus our energy. We strongly encourage local res- idents and business leaders across Dur- ham Region to embrace the idea and take up the challenge to improve their little corner of the world. The Day of Hope and Leadership is a wonderful concept that’s off to an impres- sive start. Those who lead the way by taking part will see the benefits paid in happier, more productive workplaces, improved and improving neighbourhoods, and a popu- lace that is engaged in its town or city. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / letter writers are obliged to back up their 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 newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 9, 20096 P newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 9, 20097 P Making • Willing to match your wardrobe • Amazing selection • In-house alteration & accessories • Sizes 10-20 (incl.

With forecasts of an exploding population in York, the circa-1970s pipe is about to undergo an expansion, pend- ing provincial approval of the environmen- tal assessment. Part of the work entails the expropriation of properties for the new pipe, which will include Valley Farm Day care. So the kids gathered for a lunch at the centre Thursday with all of the Thanksgiv- ing fixings: turkey, mashed potatoes, vege- tables, gravy and rolls, to celebrate perhaps its last Thanksgiving at the facility. The day care takes children from 18 months to 12 years of age and is licensed for 95 kids. While affected residents are frustrated that some of their property will be taken away for the project, the day care might have to move entirely. The existing pipe currently runs behind the property, and York Region plans to build a chamber on the south side of Finch Avenue where the new pipe will meet up with the old one, explained Rich Tindall, Durham Region’s works department proj- ect manager. “As it stands it is planned to go immedi- ately adjacent to it,” he said. Durham is not involved in the expropria- tions, but is involved in the environmental assessment process and is familiar with the plans. The most unfortunate part, Ms. McMa- nus said, would be losing the nice big lot that the children like to play in with the big old trees. “The property is beautiful,” she said. But Valley Farm will not go out of busi- ness, she said. The worst-case scenario would be moving to a new location in the same neighbourhood. The owner of the day care, Ms. McManus said, and York Region are currently in talks about that possible new location and cost details. Marsha Harewood, Valley Farm employee of more than four years, said she’s noticed great improvements in the building since she started there, and said the location is great. “It’s a natural kind of setting,” she said. Although the move would most likely mean a new facility, Ms. McManus said the old building is meaningful to many locals; she’s noticed lately that people who used to bring their children to the day care are now inquiring about spaces for their grandchil- dren. “There is a lot of history to this day care,” she said. York Region officials could not be reached for comment.

METROLAND DURHAM REGION MEDIA GROUP BY MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- What happens if you give a room full of people $20 each and ask them to put that cash into the community they live in? A lot. People buy clothing for kids in need. Others take the cash and pur- chase non-perishables to take to the food bank. Some give it directly to a person or organization they knew desperately needed it. Many don’t just give $20. They are inspired to multiply the money, whether by taking out of their own pockets, getting friends to add to the pool or to multiply the amount by buying a prize and raffling it off to make more. It was all part of the $20 challenge set out by a group of speakers at The Day of Hope and Leadership in Oshawa last week. Local business consultant Todd Skinner, humani- tarian and advocate Ian Hill, author Denise Marek and local televi- sion host Dan Carter all addressed attendees throughout the day at the event last week. Before the con- ference ended Mr. Carter issued a challenge: take the envelope in front of you and give what is in it ($20) to someone who needs it in the com- munity. The idea was for people to give back and see exactly where their donations were going. “We’ve all become cheque writers,” Mr. Carter said when he was issuing the chal- lenge to a hall full of community leaders. “We’ve forgotten what it’s like to help individuals.” And that’s how $5,000 given to 250 people made it into the hands of people who need it. In fact, judg- ing by e-mails participants sent to organizers of the challenge to tell what they did with their cash, most people found ways to double, triple or even quadruple their cash before they sent it off to help others. “What we need to realize is we can all make a difference,” Mr. Skinner said. “An ordinary action can make an extraordinary impact.” In addition to the cash that went directly into the community $50,000 was raised for the Hope Centre of Learning at the event last week. The cash came from corporate donations and profits from ticket sales from the convention. Speak- ers at the Day of Hope and Leader- ship waived their fees for the day so more of the funds raised could go to non-profit organizations. Page 6 - Today’s editorial FIRST PERSON Giving has an immediate impact Since I was at the Day of Hope and Lead- ership event to cover it for the newspaper, I was issued the $20 challenge as well. News Advertiser co-op student Emily Wrigglesworth came to the event with me. We decided we wanted to help out an organization that has a direct hand in helping the community. We called up Big Brothers and Sisters of Clarington to see if they could use some cash. I told Allison Edwards, a caseworker at Big Brothers, that we had some cash and wanted to spend it. I didn’t tell her how much. When one of our co-workers told the rest of people in our office where the cash was going many added to our donation total. Two co-workers from our advertis- ing department gave the $20 they had received at the Day of Hope and Leader- ship. Many offered cash from their pock- ets. When we got to the store and Emily and I told Allison that she had $240 to spend whichever way she thought would benefit the organization, she was thrilled. “Wow....uh, can I buy a vacuum?” she asked. Turns out the organization’s vacu- um was broken and the carpeted facility was getting more than a bit dusty. So she bought a much-needed vacuum for the office. She was also able to buy games for the kids and a VCR/DVD player. When we got back to the office after shopping there was $52 in additional donations on my desk. We’ve forwarded the additional money along to Allison, so she can use it to buy more items the orga- nization needs.

PICKERING TOWN CENTRE 905-420-8000 newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 9, 200911 AP DON’T MISS OUT LOOK FOR YOUR FLYER IN TODAY’S PAPER Estimate of 25,000 pounds of unwanted electronics collected at Sportsplex last Saturday BY AL RIVETT arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Ajax residents shed more than a few pounds of e-waste last weekend. The Durham Region e-waste collection for Ajax was set up at a temporary site at the Ajax Sportsplex last Saturday. And, at the end of the four- hour collection period, estimates were as high as 25,000 pounds of electronic waste -- from big- screen televisions, outdated computer CPUs and all manner of unwanted elec- tronics -- were piled up and ready to be hauled away for recycling. “There’s at least 25,000 pounds, and there could even have been more,” said Mickey Dobran, an employee of Valu Shred, which organized the e-waste collection under the auspices of the Region. All told, the Mississauga-based com- pany filled five large trucks with e-waste during the Ajax collection. Mr. Dobran said the e-waste will be trucked to the company’s Mississauga warehouse where the electronic com- ponents will be separated and all the usable parts recycled. Mr. Dobran says the company gathers elec- tronic waste from all over Ontario. The Ajax event, he noted, was about average in the amount of e-waste col- lected. “It’s about what I expect- ed,” said Mr. Dobran. “At some places, we fill up two 50-foot trailers.” Previous Durham Region e-waste col- lections were held in north Durham at Port Perry and Uxbridge last month. The final collection is on Oct. 24 at the Town of Whitby Operations Centre, 333 McKinney Dr., from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Appliances will not be accepted. Residents can also drop off e-waste items for a fee throughout the year at any of the Region’s waste management facilities, including the sites in Port Perry (1623 Reach St.), Oshawa (1640 Ritson Rd. North) and Brock (Sideroad 17).

Ontario Provincial Police said the 23-year-old woman, whose name wasn’t released, was eastbound on Hwy. 407 east of Keele Street in Vaughan at about 4 a.m. when her Mazda Tribute went out of control, tumbled down an embank- ment and entered the water. Officers responding to the accident scene dove into the water to pull the woman from her vehicle, police said. She was rushed to hospital where she succumbed to her injuries. A search of the catch basin by police divers determined no one else had been in the vehicle, police said.

That’s right, Ace Hammington, detective, at your service. It was 5 o’clock on a Saturday morning when Granny disappeared. The strange thing was that she had left her dentures and her cane so there was no possible way that she could have walked without help. The dentures were another puzzle: she NEVER left home without them because she never knew when she would suddenly need to snack on something. So my question was who would want to kidnap a sweet innocent old lady? Amazingly, my captain did not think anything was amiss with this senior miss…but I knew she was missing because only I knew her slightly eccentric habits and her crazy sayings. “Dentures,” she would say. “Don’t leave home without ‘em,” as the commercial went. Then she would cackle at her own little joke while I rolled my eyes heavenward knowing that was the first I had heard her joke…today, anyway! When I was done searching her house I went on to the suspects to ask a few questions. First suspect on the list: Jamie Johnson, Granny’s housekeeper. “Where were you on Saturday at 5 a.m.?” I asked. “At central park doing the annual park cleanup,” she replied. “At 5 a.m.?” I asked her. “Do you have any witnesses?” Just as I suspected, her witness was of course Mr. Jones, the nosiest man I have ever met, who was also my next suspect. He was also the skinni- est man in our little town. Skin-and-Bones Jones, we used to call him. That man could eat, I recalled, yet not put on a pound…okay, gram, since we use the metric system. As I was walking towards his house I realized that his car was gone and so was he. So I would have to talk to him later. But that still left two more suspects. Paris Terna and Jack Terna. These siblings were trouble-makers. Any chance they got, they made mischief. They said they were down at the bowling alley but that sounded a bit fishy to me. Who would go bowling at 5 o’clock in the morning? That wasn’t a good enough answer for me, so after speaking with them I knew I had to dig deeper. I went to the bowling alley and questioned the owner about the Ternas’ 5 a.m. bowling claim. He confirmed that they were indeed at the alley at 5 a.m., but only to cause trouble. There had been a huge midnight madness fundraiser so the party had gone on into the early hours of the morn- ing. The Terna Twins (they weren’t twins but I liked to call them that) had been causing some havoc by bowling in other people’s bowling lanes and grabbing food from other tables. So I concluded that the Ternas were very troublesome, but they also had an alibi. I was still trying to track down Skin-and-Bones Jones. It was useless trying to get Jones on the phones because he did not believe too much in technology. His only machine was his car and he drove it so slowly that I often wondered if he was pedaling it on the inside. After a bit more research I needed to take a break. So I went down to the ice cream parlour to get my mind pumping, and found they were hav- ing an ice cream festival. Why don’t I ever hear of these things? An ice cream festival right here with free ice cream! I went off looking for my favourite flavor (Mint Chocolate Chip) and said to myself, “Wow! Granny BY VINCENT ARFF, GRADES 4 – 6 WINNER Finally I found my first clue, and I knew this was a mystery only I could solve. My library book vanished shortly after I left the living room to take out the trash. I knew my mom would ground me if she ever found out I lost another book. This is the third library book disappearance this sum- mer! My first clue was several paw marks and dog hair on the glass coffee table. Another clue was that whenever I muttered out loud to myself in frustration, “Where are my library books?” my dog Rover hid under the couch. I suspected Rover might have taken it. But how would I know for sure? Why would Rover take my books? The longer I thought about it, visions of Rover, begging me to play with him whenever I was reading, flashed before my eyes. I even recalled Rover getting his leash and bringing it to me one afternoon when I was engrossed in the story. I couldn’t possibly put my book down at that moment. My mission was to uncover Rover’s crime and escape from being grounded. I found Rover sleeping in his dog house, but not for long. As soon as he heard my footsteps, he woke up and jumped at me. I gave him a pat and quickly searched the dog house. All I found were his toys. “Rover, have you seen my library book?” I asked him. Rover went back in the dog house and didn’t look at me. I knew right then he must have been the culprit. I then gave Rover a dog treat. “Rover, my good boy, help me find my book before mom grounds me. You know that if that happens, I won’t be able to take you out for walks, play ball with you or even let you swim in the lake.” Rover barked twice, snatched the treat from my hand and ran inside the bungalow. It was obvious he was not interested in helping me out. I guess it was pay back time. If I were a dog, where would I hide a book? I remembered our kitchen floor was covered in muddy paw BY SEAN DOLAN, JK – GRADE 3 WINNER Finally I found my first clue, and I knew this was a mystery only I could solve. This is a Halloween mystery. I went to the attic looking for a clue. The attic had fake spiders and spider webs. I saw some footprints in the dust. These footprints led to the window and the glass was bro- ken. I looked out the window. There was a baseball on the ground, so I knew the window was broken by the baseball. I saw the clue on the window ledge and I picked it up. The clue was a piece of paper that said, “Go downstairs and go to the kitchen.” So I went to the kitchen. Outside the kitchen, I found my next clue taped to the wall. This clue said, “Go into the kitchen.” But the kitchen was dark, so I turned on the light. When I turned on the light, all my friends jumped out and yelled, “Happy Birthday!” My friends were all in costumes. One was a mummy, one was a spider, one was a ghost, and one was a vampire. The kitchen was covered in decorations like balloons with scary things on them. My Mom brought out a big cake with five candles on it. She put it on the table and we all shared it. I was the only one who could solve this mystery because my birthday is on October 31st, Halloween, and my friends wanted it to be a mystery birthday. About the Author: Sean’s birth- day is actually January 14th, but he loves birthdays, helium balloons and Halloween. My Special Day The Case of the Missing Granny The vanishing library books As part of the TD 2009 Agent 009 Summer Reading Club, Ajax Library Services, with the sponsorship of the Ajax/Pickering News Advertiser, held a short story contest for elementary students. Within the theme of “Mystery,” participants were asked to create a short story starting with the following sentence: “Finally I found my ﬁ rst clue, and I knew this was a mystery only I could solve.” Here are three of the four winning stories.

I quickly ran to the garage to get a shovel and began to dig up my mom’s vegetable garden. I dug up most of the gar- den when I finally saw not one but three of my library books. At that moment, Rover and my mom rushed outside to find out what I was doing. “I found my library books!” I exclaimed. Rover came over to me and licked my hand as if to apologize. My mom was glad I solved the mystery of the van- ishing library books but was not pleased about the vegetable gar- den. “Don’t worry mom,” I said. “I’ll eat all of the vegetables I’ve dug up.” My statement mysteriously made my mom smile.newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 9, 200919 AP DURHAM REGION KI pills available to residents at local drug stores For more information on potassium iodide tablets or the Provincial Nuclear Emergency Response Plan, please call the Durham Emergency Management Office at 905-430-2792 or Durham Region Health Department at 905-723-3818 or 1-888-777-9613, ext. 2188.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY Pickering group hears of prisoners PICKERING -- For some prisoners of the Rebellion of 1837, the nightmare was just beginning when they were cap- tured. Dr. John Carte speaks at the Pickering Township Historical Society’s Oct. 13 meeting about those who survived the British penal colony in Australia until they were freed and returned to North America. The meeting is at 7:30 p.m. at the East Shore Community Centre, 910 Liverpool Rd. (south of Hwy. 401). would love to be here!” Wait a minute, I thought, maybe she is here somewhere in the crowd. I had to think back but I remembered that Granny’s favou- rite flavor was Chocolate Fudge. I ran from one booth to another to another searching for Chocolate Fudge and a little old lady, hoping that if I found one, I would find the other. That was my deduction anyway. Any normal detective would have grabbed an ice cream and then started running around searching. Not me. There were three places that carried Chocolate Fudge and I had just checked out two of them. My last one was right at the end of the grounds near the park- ing lot. As I slowed down, gasp- ing and wheezing from running and a complete lack of ice cream, I noticed a dilapidated black car parked across two parking spac- es with one wheel resting on a crushed “Drive Safely” sign. It was a beat-up bucket of rust but it was a beautiful sight because it meant I was close to finding Jones and Granny. Sitting on a swing at the last ice cream booth were Granny and Mr. Jones! Mr. Jones must have taken Granny in his car to get some ice cream. They had been eating and sampling ice cream from all the booths all morning. Skin-and-Bones looked like he could go on eating but I still could not see him sideways! So I figured out a few things. No need for the cane because Jones would have helped her into the car, so Granny just left it behind. “But why didn’t you bring your dentures?” I asked her. “You always said, ‘Don’t leave home without ‘em.’ I thought you had been kidnapped.” “Kidnapped?!” protested Mr. Jones. “Are you calling me a kid- napper, Hammingway?!” “No sir, Mr. Bones…ah…Jones,” I stammered. “Not at all, sir! Just happy that you had Granny safe with you. My name’s Hamming- ton, by the way.” “Well, Hamhead or Hamton or Hammingfield, whatever your name is, I’m no kidnapper,” said Jones with a lot more anger than I thought he had in that skinny body. “So Granny, what about your dentures?” I really wanted an answer to that question. “Well Sonny, when I eat ice cream I get denture freeze and that’s a real pain in the…er… neck.” It was a strange answer but it was good enough for me! I hap- pily joined them and ordered a scoop of Mint Chocolate Chip. Granny’s sweet tooth guides the search GRANNY’S from page 18 Mom happy the mystery was solved, but... MOM from page 18 newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 9, 200920 AP Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.com Winning streak reaches four games BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Pickering is home to the hottest team in the Cen- tral Canadian Hockey League. The Panthers have the honour of holding the longest current winning streak in the league, after posting their fourth win in a row on Wednesday night, a 5-3 decision over the Cobourg Cou- gars at the Pickering Recreation Complex. It’s a much better position to be in than the streak the Pan- thers established at the begin- ning of the season in which they went eight straight games with- out a victory. While the current streak can be attributed to improved play by the entire team, a couple of players have elevated their game to another level, emerging as leaders. Forward Tyler von Engelbre- chten scored a pair of goals in Wednesday’s win, has 10-11-21 point totals and sits tied for sec- ond overall in the league scor- BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The Ajax Attack aren’t getting shutout goaltending from Adam Stein and Frank Gallo, but they are getting the next best thing. Both netminders have been stel- lar in the past two outings, allow- ing just one goal each, which has contributed to a two-game win- ning streak for the Attack. Wednesday it was Stein’s turn to shine as the 18-year-old turned aside 38 of 39 shots in a 4-1 win in North York. “He worked hard in the summer and is way more mentally tough now,” said head coach Carey Durant. “It’s tough for him being the owners’s son and being on our team. He has to battle that, plus the wins and losses. “He was unbelievable (against North York). He’s the reason why we won.” Sunday it was Gallo setting the mark, as the 17-year-old stopped 29 of the 30 shots he faced in a 3- 1 victory over Newmarket. In three games, he has allowed just four goals for a .965 save percentage. “He’s been outstanding,” praised Durant. “Everything that kid does he does well. He doesn’t give up a lot of rebounds, and he comes out and challenges the puck.” Durant added that he doesn’t like to designate a starting and backup goalie, or designate lines numerically one, two, three or four. He wants the players to earn their ice time and not fall into the trap of a sense of entitlement. “I wouldn’t say we have a num- ber one goalie here. We give each kid a chance to play. I tell all of our guys whoever works the hard- est and plays the best gets to play. That way you don’t create dissen- sion among your team.” Offensively, a trio of veterans continues to lead the way. Blake Boddy scored twice in North York, both in the second period, Jordan Ramsay assisted on each of those goals, while Jordan Reed chipped in a goal and assist on the night. Boddy, with 9-9-18 numbers, and Reed (7-11-18) con- tinue to light it up for the Attack, and are tied for eighth overall in the league scoring race. The Attack have climbed back above the .500 mark with a record of 5-4-1, and visit Lindsay tonight. Saturday they are in Orangeville, and Monday are at the Ajax Com- munity Centre at 3 p.m. against Peterborough. THE SCOOP -- Head coach Carey Durant is more than pleased with goaltender Frank Gallo and Adam Stein, but issued a bit of a challenge to his players when he said, “Every game we’ve played in we haven’t had poor goaltending. It’s our players who have to start coming around and obviously do better jobs.”... Durant singled out and praised the work of defence- man Brandon Dean of late... Scor- ing the fourth goal of the night in North York was Shane Cavaleri, who tallied into an empty net on the power play with just 36 sec- onds remaining in the game. PICKERING Panthers hottest team in the league ing race, just two points back of Burlington’s Greg Carey. “He did a lot of work in the off season and probably lost 15 pounds,” said head coach Bill Brady of the 6-foot-3, 200 pound, 19-year-old. “He’s got a great set of hands, shoots the puck real well and always seems to be around the net.” At the other end, netminder Anthony Kimlin has been in net for 11 straight games, and has faced a barrage of shots over the current winning streak. The Panthers have been outshot in all four games, with Kimlin turn- ing aside Orangeville (48 shots), Wellington (40), Bowmanville (31) and Cobourg (54). “That’s the difference,” Brady said. “He’s given us an opportu- nity to win hockey games. He’s kept us in the games and given us a chance. He’s the reason why we are where we are. He’s played exceptionally well.” The Panthers (4-6-2) will look to make it five in a row when they host Stouffville (4-3-0) tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex. They will get a week off before hosting Lindsay on Oct. 16. THE SCOOP -- A couple of players acquired in cash deals earlier this week debuted in Wednesday’s win over Cobourg. Josh Dadic, acquired from Hamilton, had an assist, while Hayden Perroni, picked up from Whitby, was also in the lineup... In addition to the two goals from Tyler von Engelbre- chten, the Panthers got goals from Kyle Purias, Justin Mac- Donald and Kyle Ramsay in the win over Cobourg. Blair Faloti- co and Mike Shirley had two assists each... To make room for the newest additions, Andrew Howse and Aaron Pierce were put on waivers Thursday, and an arrangement was trying to be made to have Cory Robbins play Jr. C for the Uxbridge Bruins, said GM Keith Pandovski. He is also working on a deal for a vet- eran defenceman... The appeal to the seven-game suspension of defenceman Jesse Hebscher was denied. Hebscher has three games remaining and is eligible to return Oct. 22.
