On Wednesday, the Humane Society of Durham Region kicked off a campaign called Phoenix Rising, with a goal of raising $1.5 million to build a 6,000-square-foot shelter in Whitby. Organizers said the meaning behind the campaign name is twofold: it honours the memory of a severely neglected dog named Phoenix that captured hearts in the com- munity last summer after he was rescued by the local humane society, and it con- jures up the image of a phoenix rising from the ashes, as the humane society rebuilds from the fire. “We really need the big push now, we need the community to get behind this,” said shel- ter manager Ruby Rich- ards as she cradled two rats cared for by the humane society. “This new building is going to be so progressive, our animals are going to be very happy there.” Features planned for the new building include indoor and outdoor dog runs, an enclosed outdoor cat area, grooming room, animal kitchen, geothermal heating and cooling, a ventilation system for virus con- trol and communal cat rooms. Campaign chairwoman Judy Melland- Smith said the agency is starting from scratch for this fundraising effort because the $400,000 raised in the months since the fire was used to pur- chase the land at Wil- liam Smith Drive and Wentworth Street in Whitby, where the new shelter will be built. “Animals help us in so many ways, they’re our best friends, they help the old and the sick, they’re always happy to see us when we get home ... now is our chance to help them,” she said. Early on the morning of Dec. 17 2008, a fire ripped through the humane society building on Waterloo Street in Oshawa, kill- ing more than 150 animals and leaving doz- ens of others out in the cold. The society is now looking after about 85 animals at temporary locations and foster homes throughout the region, with more coming in every day. There are several ways to contribute to the Phoenix Rising campaign. Individual bricks can be purchased for $100 and inscribed with a dedication to a pet or loved one. Individuals, corporations and service clubs can purchase naming opportunities for specific rooms or features at the new shelter with prices ranging from $500 for an individual cat cage to $20,000 for a cat group housing room. Donations are accepted in any amount with a tax receipt given for those over $10.

Durham police detectives investigating the Oct. 16 rob- bery of a Little Caesars pizza shop on Westney Road North stopped a suspect as he rode a bike on Rossland Road West on Friday, Oct. 23 at approximately 11:30 a.m., cops said. The suspect, who was found to be in possession of marijuana, was linked to a heist in which a man jumped over the counter at the restaurant and grabbed money from a cash register. All the while, the suspect reached toward his waist- band as if to indicate he had a gun, police said. Nathan Barrett, 19, of no fixed address, is charged with robbery, wearing a disguise and possession for the purpose of trafficking plus failing to appear in court and two breaches of court orders. Pickering store staff bound, threatened during robbery PICKERING -- Employees at a Pickering electronics shop were bound and threatened with a gun during a robbery Friday evening. Two suspects entered The Source electronics shop shortly after 7 p.m. and appeared to be browsing until one of them pulled a handgun and threatened the two male workers, Durham police said. The employees were forced into a back room where their hands were bound; they were left there as the sus- pects grabbed a quantity of electronics before fleeing, police said. The victims, who managed to free themselves and call police, weren’t hurt. Police are looking for two black men believed to be in their early 20s. COMMUNITY Insurance brokers donate blankets to SickKids AJAX -- A group of local insurance brokers are helping people in need stay warm this winter by donating about 50 fleece blankets to the Hospital for Sick Children. Employees from Bryson and Associates Insurance Bro- kers Ltd. also hosted their second annual customer appre- ciation pumpkin giveaway last weekend to raise money for SickKids. “The children at SickKids are the most deserving of these cozy blankets,” said Tracy Makris, president of Bryson and Associates. “These blankets will provide the kids with some extra warmth and comfort this fall.” Each year, the Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario donates thousands of fleece blankets to a number of charities across the province. ‘ BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Durham police brass are applauding a provin- cial move to lessen restrictions on the use of Amber Alerts to help rescue abducted children. “We’re pleased with the changes because we’ve been con- cerned the threshold is very high,” Deputy-Chief Chuck Mercier said Monday, when the changes to Ontario’s Amber alert policy came into effect. “There has been great debate with regards to technical language in the guidelines.” The changes are the result of a review ordered last May by Ontario Provincial Police Superintendent Julian Fantino. The review arose amid criticism police did not issue an Amber Alert when 12-year-old Victoria Stafford of Woodstock went missing in April; the child was abducted and murdered. While the new guidelines still require police to observe a spe- cific protocol, those requirements have been slightly relaxed to allow alerts, via highway signs and other means, when there are grounds to believe a child has been abducted or is in danger, Deputy-Chief Mercier said. For instance, while former guidelines required that police be certain an abduction has taken place, they now need only the belief such an event has occurred. The new guidelines strike a balance between the need to issue information in a timely fash- ion and reserving the measure for dire cases so the public rec- ognizes the importance of the alert, Deputy-Chief Mercier said. “There is still a threshold,” he said. POLICE Durham cops applaud new Amber Alert rules School gives to Sick Kids and Children’s Wish BY EMILY WRIGGLESWORTH newsroom@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Seeing her walk up the stairs, with her bright smile and her coat in her arms, you would never know Grade 3 student Alicia Mussari has leukemia. “She’s touched all the kids’ lives in this school, because it’s such a small commu- nity,” says Flo Gurdin, principal of Valley View Public school in Greenwood, where Alicia attends class. Being back in class is one of the things that has little Alicia smiling. After relaps- ing last year, and missing the year of school, the leukemia has gone back into remission, and she is continuing with her studies. However, the school isn’t just for learning. “She’s got good school spirit,” said Ms. Gurdin. Even with the relapse, Alicia made a point of coming out to every fundrais- ing event the school held, proudly show- ing off her famous school spirit. A total of $1,550 was raised through numerous events. Alicia is extremely happy with the money raised. She is proud to be going to a school that is making the effort to help improve research into cancer and encour- ages other schools to do the same. When asked how she felt about so much money being raised because of her, Ali- cia replied “Rich ... for Sick Kids. It’s a lot of money to help kids like me.” The fundraising idea began when Ms. Gurdin returned from a meeting, where Alicia’s situation was discussed. Hold- ing to the fact that her school could, and would, participate in events that would benefit both the Hospital for Sick Chil- dren and Children’s Wish Foundation, the principal geared her students up for a fundraising campaign that would last from Christmas until late June. Student council came up with ideas on how to raise money which resulted in a bake sale, a chocolate sale, a Freezie sale and a dance. The $1,000 will be donated to Sick Kids. To raise money for the Chil- dren’s Wish Foundation, the school held a barbecue for the parents attending a Meet the Teacher night, which yielded $550. Children’s Wish was added to the fundraising effort because it is Alicia’s wish to go to Disneyland. The students of Valley View hope the money will help to make their classmate’s dream come true. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 28, 20094 AP FEATURING PUMPKIN CARVING THURSDAY OCT. 29TH 2 Sessions 5pm-6pm, 7pm-8pm FREE with the purchase of another Banana Split at the regular price Banana Split This coupon is not redeemable with any other coupon or special offer.

Like her fellow Grade 3 students at Duffins Bay Public School, Kaelin Phillips was challenged to take the NOBODY doll and make it a some- body by doing something for people, animals or the environ- ment. The Who is NOBODY? program is a character educa- tion program sponsored for the students by the Rotary Club. Kaelin and her mom Kelly McKeown did some research on the Internet and Kaelin decided on a coat drive. “It’s because it’s getting cold and it’s going to be a freezing winter,” she said. After doing a little more research with her mother, the two identified an area of need. “We’re going to donate them to First Nations people up north,” said Kaelin. “That’s where my Grandma’s cottage is and we always go up there in the winter and it’s freezing.” Ms. McKeown added they really wanted to make a differ- ence in a small community. Statistics show one in four First Nations children live in poverty and younger children are more likely to live in poverty in Canada than older chil- dren. In order to encourage others to join in, Kaelin has created colourful posters which hang at her school and also distributed flyers through the community. So far, she’s collected about 10 coats from kids at her school and she’s hoping to get even more from members of the community. To that end, Sobeys, 955 West- ney Rd. S., has accepted a drop box from Kaelin and residents are encouraged to drop of gently used children’s coats. Ms. McKeown said her daughter is learning a lot from the experience. For example, three dry cleaners declined to help them before Sketchley Cleaners, 957 Westney Rd. S., agreed to clean the coats after Kaelin has collected them. “Through this process she’s gotten to understand persever- ance, (and she’s) not willing to take no for an answer, she’s really pushed the cause.” Overall, Kaelin said the kids in her school were excited about her project. “They’ve said, ‘I’m bringing in a coat, I’m bringing in a coat.’” Meanwhile, Ms. McKeown said her daughter has always been self-driven and eager to learn new things. “I’m so proud of her, she’s an unbelievable leader, even in class,” said Ms. McKeown. “She’s the kind of kid who helps everybody and is always aware of the needs of all her friends.” Residents have until Nov. 20 to drop coats off. It’s because it’s getting cold and it’s going to be a freezing winter.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions News Advertiser • October 28, 20096 P HEALTH CARE Laughter not the best medicine for cancer patient To the editor: My sister-in-law is currently going through chemotherapy for breast cancer at Oshawa General Hospital. Seeing her struggle with all that has hap- pened to her in these few short months, both emotionally and physically, I decid- ed she could use a boost. I showed up to be with her for Round 5 with tiaras and feather boas for three, as I knew another friend would also be there for support. Rules say there is only one guest per patient during treatment. I understand this; it was not my intension to stay long as I told the first nurse. However, I was not even really given enough time to speak before she came back and politely threatened to bring the supervisor. I do not scare easy. The supervisor appeared and I was asked to leave so she can speak with the patient in private. During this private conversation, the patient is reprimanded about the hospi- tal’s rules. Where is the compassion and under- standing? The first rule of cancer is to have a strong support system (fine print) so long as this does not interfere with protocol. When is it okay to turn a blind eye to protocol? Were we really disrupting the hospital? If laughter is the best medicine, then maybe OGH could use a dose. I will continue to do whatever it takes to boost her morale and can only hope her memories of this time will be of her fam- ily and friends that rallied for her as she fought for her life. And to the staff at OGH, I’m available for suggestions. Cindy Meghu Oshawa H ospital provided great care to visiting senior To the editor: I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia. For quite some time I had been living with pain in my abdominal area. This past summer I celebrated my 75th birthday, and also flew for my first time to visit my daughter who lives in Oshawa. While in Oshawa, I suffered a severe pain attack. My daughter took me to the emergency department at Lakeridge Health Oshawa. I was admitted right away. I spent four days in emergency because the hospital was short on beds. It may not have been the most comfort- able place at times, but I was happy that someone was going to take the time to find out what was causing my pain. Dr. Pavone was my doctor while in the hospital in Oshawa, and he stated that first day that he would find the cause of my pain. He ran many tests, blood work, X-rays, CAT-scan, ultrasound and finally a scope down my throat. With the final test, he discovered I had a perforated ulcer. There are no words to thank the nurses and staff at Lakeridge Health for the care and constant attention I received while a patient. There were many times when I felt that I was the only patient they had to attend to in their duties. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Pavone for giving me back a pain-free life, and to all the staff who made my stay in the hos- pital such a pleasant experience. I rave to everyone here in Halifax about the quality of care I received while on hol- idays in the hospital.

Just two weeks after a handful of council- lors defended their self-serving ‘announce- ments’ as a way to serve democracy, anoth- er is leading the charge to muzzle munici- pal staff and stop them from speaking with media. Oshawa’s Louise Parks took great excep- tion last week to comments made by staff members regarding the dilapidated condi- tion of the City’s works depots, apparently because their views didn’t coincide with hers. And though this debate is taking place in Oshawa, it affects every municipality in Durham and, by extension, every munici- pal taxpayer who foots the bill for those pol- iticians and the hard-working staff mem- bers who keep our communities running. It is simply unconscionable that munici- pal politicians would consider muzzling frontline workers who know better than anyone -- certainly better than a politician feverish with the prospect of re-election -- about the state of repair of municipal facili- ties and services. Taxpayers across the region must take the opportunity to disabuse their Town and City politicians of the notion that, because they were elected, it confers upon them superior knowledge of the inner workings of municipal operations. The vast majority do not have the knowledge nor the exper- tise, though too many profess otherwise. Put simply, politicians do not run our cities and towns. From Pickering to Newcastle and on up to Port Perry and Uxbridge, munici- pal staff workers are the men and women who ensure your trash and recyclables are picked up, that potholes are filled, parks are maintained and roads are cleared of snow and ice. They use the facilities taxpayers pay for and live the experience on a daily basis. Initiatives such as the one launched by Coun. Parkes, who is upset at the candour of staff comments, can be interpreted as an attempt to stifle staff. Adoption of this pro- posal, which committee wisely chose to file for information only at a Monday meeting, would have had the effect of council figu- ratively thumbing its nose at transparency and accountability. Do not give your municipal representa- tives the power to censor opposing views. Do not let them dictate who can speak and when. If they choose to muzzle those who disagree, one reasonably wonders where it all ends. Ask that incumbent councillor about it when he or she calls on you for your sup- port during the 2010 election campaign. WE ASKED I’m not sure if this falls firmly into the ‘too much information’ category but this week marks the last of my annual colonoscopies. From here on in, my surgeon tells me, I can go on the normal routine of once every five years. Just like a regular person. Gosh, what will I do with myself? I won- der if I’ll go through any kind of colono- scopic withdrawal. Only an actor would miss getting a yearly colonoscopy ... any- time near a camera is a good time, right? And the ‘biz’ has been a little slow lately. I certainly won’t miss the prep day. For those of you who have never undergone a colonoscopy, the actual ‘scoping’ proce- dure, although it sounds medieval, is really a cake-walk. It’s like college frosh week ... you’re unconscious for most of it. The prep day, however, is a different animal alto- gether. Have you ever watched what hap- pens when your kids dump a pack of Men- tos into a litre bottle of Coke? The two little packets of prep powder produce an equally explosive response ... only inside you. And you can’t screw the cap on this one. My first time through this drill, I found out the hard way they really mean it when they say ‘You must be close to a washroom while taking the bowel prep.’ In point of fact, they should be even more specific: ‘You must be clearly in sight of an unoc- cupied washroom while taking the bowel prep.’ An equally helpful admonishment might be, ‘Are you certain you want to do this?’ This stuff is like having a volcano in your pants. And like the residents of Pompeii, you don’t get a whole lot of lead time. The rest of your family, therefore, needs to be hip to it as well. There’s nothing like hav- ing your colon go all Vesuvius on you while your teenager is in the bathroom, blithely gelling his hair and troweling on the Axe. No, when Dad is running in ‘rocket trou- ser’ mode, the bathrooms and all their approach lanes need to be as vacant as the ACC in the playoffs. And this goes on for a full day. Fortunate- ly, as a self-unemployed artist, it’s not a big deal for me to stay at home and ride it out. What’s truly terrifying, though, is that some people probably try to do this while on the job. “Good morning folks, this is your Captain speaking. Welcome aboard flight 992 to Calgary. We’re currently cruising at 22,000 feet with an air speed of ... whoopsie ... back in a flash.” The actual colonoscopy, as I have men- tioned, is really a non-event. They put you under, you wake up, you fart, you go home. I’ve been on dates that were more trouble- some. I remember vividly, at my first scope, years ago, walking into the endoscopy suite and seeing this thick, black tubular thing coiled on a hook on the wall. I half-jok- ingly said to my surgeon, ‘That’s the case ... right? It’s actually a lot smaller than that?’ No. That was, in fact, the camera. But anes- thesia is a wonderful thing. So is modern health care. I’m walking, talking, writing proof of that. And one thing that is often overlooked in all this talk about prep and scopes and Anaconda-sized cameras is that someone has the unenviable, yet life-savingly impor- tant task of peeking up our backsides to make sure we’re good to go. Our doctors and nurses. And those wonderful people, I will miss. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

It’s a shame because the story, ‘Oshawa Amber Alert making rounds on Internet is a hoax: police’, is a sorry statement on how easily mass communication can be abused. The Internet is good for a lot of things but when it’s abused in this way, it diminishes the urgency of real emergency alerts. My grandmother might be persuaded to grab the jokester by the ear and remind him about the little boy who cried wolf. While she’s at it, she might want to grab a certain ‘mad scientist’ by the string of his tinfoil balloon and shake some good sense into him. And I’m sure she’s relieved beyond words to know that rapper Kanye West is a alive and well, not victim to a fatal car crash as reported by Internet hoaxsters last week. Call me a stick in the mud, but I don’t think it’s funny to make up stories about fatal car accidents as a means of testing your ability to rise to the top of a Google search. A look at the other nine most-read stories on our website this month underscores for me who gets hurt the most when someone trivializes tragedy: • Uxbridge family mourns loss of ‘golden boy’ • Man crushed in Pickering plant accident • Man killed in Whitby crash believed to be Ajax resident • Durham cop charged after gun pointed at fellow officer • Two taken to hospital after Whitby acci- dent • One dead in Scugog crash • Oshawa shop owners deny drug trafficking allegations • Pickering woman dies in Hwy. 407 crash • ‘I don’t know why he was backing up’ -- truck driver What’s the second-most-read story of the year-to-date? ‘Second Amber Alert for Oshawa just like the first: a hoax’ Joanne Burghardt is editor-in-Chief of the Metroland Durham Region Media Group Hoaxes mar Internet JOANNE BURGHARDT I’ve hit bottom, but things are looking up This is a photo taken by a volunteer at Nova’s Ark, while I was there working on a long-term photo story. Mary-Ann Nova is a wonderful woman who runs this camp for children with special needs in the summer, which involves a lot of inter- action with a wide range of animals she cares for. I was there photographing the volunteers who work on the farm and care for the animals and I will continue to go back regularly until the summer when the children begin to attend the camp again.

P newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 28, 200910 AP COMMUNITY Kids have a blast at Durham Police Games Annual event in Pickering for kids with disabilities turns 25 BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Constable Scott Maring was a lit- tle nervous to play against the kids at the police children’s games in a wheelchair rugby match on Saturday. “These kids, they just do circles around us,” he said. But the organizing committee member of the 25th Annual Durham Regional Police Children’s Games was having a great day helping out with the many events set up for local children with disabilities aged six and up. The Pickering Rec- reation Complex has hosted the non-profit event since its inception. “Essentially, it just gives these kids with physi- cal disabilities a chance to come out, show spirit and have fun,” Const. Maring said. He said the focus is more on spirit and less on competition. In fact, spirit awards are handed out at the end of the day for kids who display the best sportsmanship. The young people are put on different teams and each kid gets a T-shirt sporting their team’s logo. Teams this year included the Grizzlies, the Lizards and the Dolphins. More than 50 kids attended the day of numer- ous sports, which included wheelchair relay, basketball toss, mini-putt, and a beanbag toss. Const. Maring compared the day to a mini- Olympics event. “It’s awesome,” he said. “It’s a great day.” One of the high scorers in the moonball chal- lenge was 17-year-old Cardinal member Joey Butt. The object of the game is to see who can push the large ball around a track in the short- est time, he explained. The Courtice resident, who has spina bifida, finished in 30 seconds on his first attempt and improved to 22 seconds his second time around. Since he looks forward to the Games each year, he was prepared for the big day. “I lift weights all the time so I’m in good shape,” he said. Although this is his last year attending since he’ll be too old to participate in the next com- petition, he strongly recommends the annual event. “It’s very exciting,” he said. “I would recom- mend to people to come out.” Const. Maring explained the day is not only fun for the kids. “It’s a fun day for their families as well,” he said, equating the day with parents cheering their kids on at a track-and-field meet or a basketball game. These kids, they just do circles around us.

PETER REDMAN PHOTOS newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 28, 200911 P Pickering gem now has provincial protection BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A Pickering library that used to school a former prime minister has been granted heritage designation. The former Pickering School House has been designated under the Ontario Heritage Act for its historical and architectural value and interest. “It basically maintains the property in the context of keeping the heritage attributes safe,” said City clerk Debi Wilcox. The schoolhouse was built in 1860, a time of great prosperity in Ontario, according to a report by local historians John Sabean and Gordon Zimmerman. It became the Green- wood Public Library in 1980. “It’s an important building,” said Jim Simp- son, chairman of the Heritage Pickering Advi- sory Committee. “The history is important and we want to preserve it.” Perhaps the schoolhouse’s greatest claim to fame is one of its former pupils, the 13th prime minister of Canada, John George Diefenbak- er. Between 1897 and 1899, his father, William T. Diefenbaker, was a teacher there. Although, at just four years old, John was too young to enroll in the school, he did attend classes there since his mother found him too much of a handful to stay home, the report said. He returned for visits in the 1920s and the 1950s and fondly recalled his time there in later years. “The history itself really is interesting,” said Mr. Simpson. The report listed many other notable peo- ple associated with the building, including John Williston, who was an assistant teacher there and later became editor-in-chief of the Toronto Globe. The close friend of Canada’s seventh prime minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, wrote a book about him and was eventually knighted himself, becoming Sir John Stephen Williston. The building itself is probably the best pre- served of the old one-room schoolhouses in Pickering, the report claims. It’s made of local materials, including brick on the outside, and the windows are held together with finely detailed bars that are traditional in southern Ontario and have stood the test of time. Because much of Pickering’s land is frozen from development, many of the buildings have remained pretty much unchanged over the years. “We’re lucky in Pickering,” Mr. Simpson said. “Let’s continue to protect these architec- tural and heritage buildings.” The school house was on a long list of old buildings the committee hopes to give similar designations. Ms. Wilcox explained the committee is try- ing to designate at least three properties a year. More than 15 have been designated so far. COMMUNITY Greenwood library a heritage building LAURA STANLEY PHOTO PICKERING -- Chris Fowlie looked for reading material in the Greenwood Public Library on Oct. 20. The library is being recognized as a historical building. Let’s continue to protect these architectural and heritage buildings. Jim Simpson, Heritage Pickering Advisory Committee chairman from Oxford Learning Early Years It’s more than a month into the school year. By this time, young students should be getting over their new-school year anxiety and starting to show excitement about their classroom, teachers, and new friends. A large part of the early years of school is social, including group play and recess. This part of development can lay the groundwork for a child’s attitude about school. They should be getting the message that school is a safe, fun place and that learning can be fun. On the academic side, the early years of school are about laying critical ground- work; children are building the founda- tion for future skills (counting, learning letters and sounds, and basic reading skills). Keep an eye out for problems that might sound alarm bells and deal with them quickly to be sure your child can keep up with the curriculum and maintain a positive attitude towards learning. Middle Years By the middle of October, students should be well into their school routine. The back-to-school jitters should be long gone. If students are having issues, be it not being organized, not keeping up with homework, or getting easily frustrated, now is the time to seek help. It’s still early in the school year, and by seeking help now, students can quite easily repair academic problems and get back on track. High School Years For many high school students, heading back to school is like jumping into the deep end of the pool. There is no easing into it. The school year starts off with a big splash, often with homework and assignments from the very ﬁ rst day of class. By end of October, students may have already dealt with midterms and major projects and essays. There is no time to waste; the ﬁ rst report is here, and high school students need to keep their eyes on the prize. One bad test mark can set the tone for the rest of the year. It’s important that if highschoolers are not adjusting to the new grade, they seek help quickly. A little extra support can help students stay organized, stay on track with their homework and build important study skills so they can keep up with the new curriculum. It’s important to not be shy about asking for help; many tutoring options are avail- able for that speciﬁ c reason. Often, the simple act of asking the teacher for extra help shows a willingness to improve, which can go a long way when it comes to the report card. Oxford Learning helps students of all ages develop their academic and study skills and build their motivation and conﬁ dence to settle into school quickly so they can do their best.

Ms. Heinl, a Scarborough resident, made a spe- cial trip to Pickering since she’s 36 weeks preg- nant and could technically have the baby any day. Toronto H1N1 clinics won’t open until next week. “I’m not sure if this is the right thing to do,” she said. But despite hearing good and bad things about the vaccine, she decided having herself and her family vaccinated would be best after seeking advice from friends in the medical field. Fright- ening statistics about expectant mothers who contract the virus also prompted her to get the shot. Those identified by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to get the first round of shots include: people with medical conditions; preg- nant women with chronic medical conditions, or those more than 20 weeks along; healthy kids from six months to age five; and health-care workers. But many others came for the shot anyway, said public health nurse Christina Wettstone. “If they’re getting it, that’s fine,” she said, add- ing they weren’t being turned away. Ten registered nurs- es were administer- ing the flu shots, while other Durham staff members were on hand making sure the flow went smoothly. One of the first to get the shot was the Rowett family, who made the trek from Port Perry because “we wanted to get it as soon as we could,” said Chris Rowett. The family chose to get the shot, despite nega- tivity they’ve heard surrounding it. “Most of the people we know don’t want to get it,” Ms. Rowett said. Ms. Rowett’s husband, Tom, said news about the worst cases of the flu, such as a pre-teen who died in Cornwall recently from H1N1, prompted the Rowetts to get the shot. He equated the feeling with any regular flu shot. His son, Tyler, 9, will have to come back for a second dose since he’s under 10, but he put on a brave face. “It stings a little bit,” he said. Marko Platnar, a Pickering resident and father of three, said he and his wife have a technique to make the annual flu shot, and now the H1N1 shot, as stress-free as possible. “They know they have to get it done but they don’t know when,” he said. Mr. Platnar is used to coaching his kids through needles. His four-year-old daughter was born with a diaphragmatic hernia, and the family is always on high alert of bringing bugs into the home that could harm her. He feels getting the shot is necessary to live a normal life. “You can’t live in a bubble,” he said. “You have to do normal things. You can’t hide out at home.” Ms. Wettstone was glad to see the big turnout. “We’re pleased people are taking H1N1 seri- ously,” she said. She said the possible complications following the shot are similar to those of the regular flu AJAX-PICKERING from page 1 We’re pleased people are taking H1N1 seriously. Christina Wettstone shot: some swelling, headache, fatigue and soreness for a couple of days. But all Ms. Wettstone had seen so far was a sense of relief after people got the shot. “Everybody seems to be doing fine so far,” she said. The clinic will run at the Pickering Town Centre until Saturday, Nov. 28.

The Durham District School Board’s summer school programs saw a 17-per cent increase in enrolment compared to the year before, said John Beatty, super- intendent of continuing education. According to his recent report, increases in summer school programs can be attributed to the recession, which has resulted in fewer families taking vacation and fewer opportunities for summer employment. More than 4,700 students registered for the 2009 ele- mentary and secondary summer program, the highest number in the last seven years. “It’s just great how it’s grown,” said Scugog Trustee Joyce Kelly of the summer school program. “Thank you for a good year.” More than 3,600 students registered for secondary summer school programs at R.S. McLaughlin Colle- giate, Sinclair Secondary School, Pine Ridge Second- ary School and Port Perry High School, up 15 per cent from the year before. Registrations increased for accelerated full-credit courses, in which Grade 12 university English had the highest enrolment at 273. For co-op, 97 students were in the two-credit program. The most popular upgrading courses were Grade 10 math with 216 students and Grade 11 math: functions and relations, with 139. Through summer school, 50 students completed their final diploma requirements by passing the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course. Learn-at-home correspondence also provided 46 full-time equivalent students with the opportunity to obtain secondary credits. At Brock High School, 19 students were able to fill gaps in their programs with a credit recovery program from June 30 to July 10. For elementary school programs, 1,000 students reg- istered, 24 per cent more than last year. The increase included 538 registrations for the Getting Ready for High School program, compared to 390 the year before. “We are prepared for larger numbers that may come in,” Mr. Beatty noted, but added some courses can be cancelled due to low enrolment. “We would adjust to the needs and the biggest challenge is staffing.” English as a Second Language for adults also had its largest enrolment this year, with 136 participants.

His Central Canadian Hockey League team lived that expres- sion in its past two league games. A 6-2 loss to the Whitby Fury was followed a night later with a 5-2 home ice victory over the Bowmanville Eagles, bringing an end to a three-game mini slide. “We were god awful against Whitby. We didn’t look like we had any interest to compete and then against Bowmanville we competed and played well. It was a complete opposite in 24 hours,” said Brady of the two results. On the downside, the Panthers fell behind in Whitby 4-0 before the first period came to a close. A power play goal by Josh Dadic, and another goal by Mike Shirley just less than three minutes later cut the lead in half, but Whitby tallied once more in the second and a shorthanded goal in the third for the 6-2 final. The Pan- thers came up short in the shots department, firing 33 compared to Whitby’s 43. It was a different start, and as a result, a different outcome one night later at the Pickering Rec- reation Complex, as the Panthers never trailed in a 5-2 win over Bowmanville. Specialty teams set the pace in the second period for the Pan- thers, who scored once each on the power play and shorthanded after a scoreless opening period. Justin MacDonald had the short- handed tally, while Blair Faloti- co connected on the power play. With a 2-1 lead heading into the third, Falotico scored his second of the night, but Bowmanville answered just 23 seconds later to tighten the game up at 3-2. Tyler von Engelbrechten and Luke Puiras scored in the final minute, just 22 seconds apart, to secure the win. While Dadic didn’t score against Bowmanville, he did chip in with two assists, and has collected eight points in six games since being acquired from Hamilton. “Josh came in and is finding his way. He’s getting his comfort level. It was just a matter of time,” said Brady. “He’s starting to pro- duce and put up some numbers. He’s actually playing well in both ends of the rink, so that helps us a lot.” Dadic, a former second round pick of the OHL’s Mississauga Ice Dogs in 2006, is being leaned on to help the Panthers move back up the East Division standings. “We need offence from him,” said Brady. “We need the game he’s giving us right now at both ends, as well as some leadership to.” The Panthers (6-9-2) will get familiar with Stouffville this week, visiting the Spirit on Thursday, and then hosting the back end of the home-and-home on Friday at 7:30 p.m. “It’s unique,” said Brady of fac- ing the same opposition on con- secutive nights. “They are a good hockey team. They skate excep- tionally well so we’ve got our hands full. I don’t know if there’s any advantage at all really. You better learn from your mistakes on Thursday and be better the next day.” HOCKEY Results night and day for Panthers SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND PICKERING -- Pickering Panthers’ Justin MacDonald tried to sweep the puck past Bowmanville Eagles’ netminder Jackson Teichroeb during Central Canadian Hockey League action at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Pickering won the game 5-2, just 24 hours after dropping a 6-2 deicision in Whitby. HOCKEY Pickering Bantam AE Panthers reach tournament final PICKERING -- The Pickering Pan- thers Bantam AE hockey team had a nice start to its 2009-2010 season, reaching the finals in the first tour- nament of the year. The goaltending tandem of Ryan Aboussafy and Trey Fuller was solid throughout the tournament with both making key saves. Pickering opened the tourna- ment with a tough 4-3 loss to Agincourt. Joshua Perez-Salvador scored all three goals for the Pan- thers with assists coming from Malcolm Dooley, Jordan Varlow, Drake Montgomery and Mateo Haza. Later, Pickering won a very phys- ical 6–2 game against Chatham. Leading the scoring for the Pan- thers was Joshua Kotsopulos with two goals and one assist. Bradley Bell, Malcolm Dooley and Mitchell Burkin all had a goal and an assist, while Jesse Hewitt scored once and Drew Attwood and Adam Bradley chipped in with assists. Game three was against Cha- tham in the quarterfinal. This was a much tighter game in which Pickering prevailed 2-1 with goals coming from Bradley Bell and Jor- dan Varlow. Assisting were Joshua Kotsopulos, Drake Montgomery and Mateo Haza. The semifinal saw Pickering against Oakridge, winning 3–0 to send them into the final. Scor- ing for the Panthers in this game were Jesse Hewitt with two goals and Jordan Varlow with the other. Assists going to Malcolm Dooley, Adam Bradley and Bradley Bell. The final saw the Panthers face Agincourt, dropping a 4–1 deci- sion. Mitchell Burkin scored the Panthers only goal, unassisted. Also contributing to the team’s success were Jameson Champion, Brandon Whitmore, Peter Lindsay and Kyle Brewing.

SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND Olympic tuneup PICKERING -- Jennifer Lawrence, of the Durham West Junior Lightning, tried to slip the puck past goaltender Shi Yao from Team China, during an exhibition game at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Team China was touring the province playing exhibi- tion games in preparation for the Olympic Games in February. The Lightning came up just short in the game, dropping a 3-0 decision. HOCKEY Generals go from hot to cold OSHAWA -- The Oshawa Generals suffered their most lopsided defeat of the season Sunday, and have suddenly gone from hot to cold. The visiting Sarnia Sting scored four unanswered goals in the third period and skated to a 6-2 win over the Generals before 3,638 fans at the General Motors Centre. Along with a 2-1 loss in Guelph Friday, the Gener- als have now dropped two in a row after winning the previous five. Miroslav Preisinger led the Sting with two goals in the period, including the winner 36 seconds in. Any hopes of the Gener- als regaining the lead were then dashed when JC Cam- pagna scored on a penalty shot and Craig Hottot short- handed in less than two minutes midway through the frame. Booner Jenner contin- ued his impressive rookie campaign for the Generals, scoring his eighth goal of the season just 1:25 into the game. Pickering’s Andy Andreoff scored Oshawa’s other goal to help give the Generals a 2-1 lead through one peri- od. On Friday, the Gener- als fired 40 pucks at Storm goalie Cody St. Jacques, but only Christian Thomas was able to beat him. The Generals (7-5-2-0) are in Peterborough Thurs- day looking for their first win in three tries against the Petes (7-8-0-0). newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 28, 200920 AP Accounting Clerk Reporting to the Manager of Budgets and Accounting Services, you will be responsible for maintaining the integrity of the Town’s bank accounts by reviewing and reconciling daily and ensuring information in the general ledger is current and accurate.
