Parents and their children attended for the flu vac- cine. It’s a scene played out across Durham Region as children are in the high-risk group currently being inoculated.Long waits remain in Pickering H1N1 CLINIC LINE FILLED WITH CHILDREN, PREGNANT WOMEN BY REKA SZEKELY AND JILLIAN FOLLERT rszekely@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Armed with lawn chairs and toys and games for the kids, hundreds of residents once again settled in for a long wait at H1N1 vac- cination clinic in Pickering Town Centre on Mon- day. It was 1 p.m., an hour before the clinic was set to open and the line already stretched all along the upstairs of the mall. Marin Leighton, of Ajax, was among those camped out on a lawn chair. She arrived around 12:30 p.m. “Because I’m pregnant, I won’t be able to stand up, definitely not for four hours,” she said, describing the wait time she expected. “I just hope I get in, I’m due in 12 days.” Those near the front of the line had been wait- ing for hours already. Kim and Steve Lindstone arrived at 7:30 a.m. with their two children, four-year-old Brayden and eight-year-old Kaitlyn. The Brooklin couple said they chose Pickering because they could wait inside. “We were under the impression it was open at noon,” said Mr. Lindstone. That information came from a Toronto televi- sion station and others in line said they’d heard the same thing. It wasn’t the case. The Lindstones said they braved the wait and See IT’S page 10 HEALTH 5 Vaccine shortage Region could run out before end of week • Businesses coping, pg. 2 • School absenteeism, pg. 3 • Editorial, pg. 6 CHARITY 10 Santa Fund in Durham News Advertiser part of Christmas gift box program SPORTS 14 Junior rivalry Attack, Panthers play tonight newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 4, 20092 AP Keep warm in fashion WE HAVE YOUR SIZE • MEN AND WOMENS PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING PREPAREPREPARE FOR FOR WINTERWINTER CALL ROSE 1-866-550-5462 CHILDCARE AVAILABLE www.durhamLINC.caTHEDURHAMCATHOLICDISTRICTSCHOOLBOARDCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL DURHAM Funded by: LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION FOR NEWCOMERS TO CANADA HEALTH Businesses take H1N1 preparation seriously Durham companies dispense hand sanitizer and info to employees BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- At Meridian Cred- it Union’s Whitby branch, the company’s H1N1 precautions are apparent as soon as people walk in the front door because a poster listing the flu’s symptoms is stuck onto it. The back of the poster includes prevention tips and at every desk serving the public, there’s a box of tissues and a bottle of hand sani- tizer. “It wasn’t just for employee use, it was provided for the entire membership,” said Andra Chi- napen, communication advisor for Meridian Credit Union. “We’re saying this is flu season, please feel free to use the hand sanitizer.” She said credit union officials began planning for the pandemic in May. “When the first signs were start- ing to come out, we assembled a pandemic response team,” she said. This included communicat- ing with the managers at all 44 branches -- including Durham locations in Pickering, Whitby and Clarington -- and sending out kits to each office. “Essentially our biggest action that we took was informing the managers of the status and mak- ing sure they had the tools they needed to respond to this,” said Ms. Chinapen. There are also human resource contacts for managers to help them deal with potential employ- ee absences due to the flu. A section on the company’s intranet site is dedicated to H1N1 and includes information about local flu clinics and vulnerable groups. The company is pay- ing attention to updates from the Canadian Public Health Agency and Ontario’s Ministry of Health. “As soon as something happens, the intranet is updated,” said Ms. Chinapen. Other employers are also tak- ing H1N1 seriously. That includes manager Peter Gittenn at the Ajax Casey’s restaurant. “Well definitely, we’re playing closer attention to any employees that are not feeling well and we’ve also introduced into our restau- rant hand sanitizer in various locations,” he said. As to frequent hand washing, that’s always been a part of his restaurant business, said Mr. Git- tenn. “That’s a given, we’re washing our hands like doctors.” Louis Payette, a spokesperson for McDonald’s said via e-mail the company’s primary concern is the well-being of employees and cus- tomers. “We diligently adhere to the highest standards of hygiene and sanitation in our restaurants, including hand-washing proce- dures and cleaning of our Play- Places that meet or exceed the World Health Organization and the Public Health Agency of Can- ada’s recommendations for help- ing to prevent the spread of flu.” John Byard, emergency man- agement coordinator for Durham Region, said there’s a section in the health department’s hand- book on H1N1 targeting work- places, but much of the informa- tion for them is the same as for everyone else. “A lot of it is just general infec- tion prevention and contain- ment,” said Mr. Byard. “Whether you’re an employer with a small mom-and-pop restaurant or you have 1,000 employees, a lot of the precautions are the same.” When dealing with the public, he acknowledged some business- es require close contact, but sug- gests minimum social distance wherever possible. Beyond that, the onus should be on individu- als to take precautions, he said, pointing out it would be tough for employees of a bank to sanitize ATM machines after each use. “We’re really stressing the hand washing either with soap and water or alcohol hand cleaner and have lots of that available for staff at the workplace.” The health department has also done some outreach to business- es through a presentation to the Whitby Chamber of Commerce about six weeks ago and the main message for all businesses is that sick people should stay home. “Even before H1N1, none of us like to have sick people coming to work,” said Mr. Byard.

Flu’s spread moving from east to west BY CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- H1N1 has arrived in local schools with more than 50 in Durham’s boards currently experiencing an absentee rate of 10 per cent or higher. In the Durham District School Board alone, 47 of its approximate 130 schools have hit or exceed- ed the 10-per cent mark, said superintendent Mark Joel. The provincial gov- ernment requires reports whenever that threshold is met. “The crest of the wave seems to be in Oshawa at the moment,” Mr. Joel said. The board has been tracking flu-like illness since last Friday. When it hits, absenteeism seems to peak after three days, then go down again. Right now, the flu’s spread appears to be moving from east to west, Mr. Joel explained. “If you have influenza-like symp- toms, you’ve got H1N1,” he said, referring to the information the board’s been receiving. Those who do get tested are almost invari- ably receiving positive results for H1N1, said Andrew Morrison of Ontario’s Health Minis- try. “Well over 90 per cent of (confirmed flu) cases right now -- and it’s closer to 99 per cent -- is H1N1,” Mr. Morrison said. As of Oct. 29, the Durham Catholic District School Board was still receiving information from schools on absentee rates. “It seems like there’s several schools where at least 10 per cent of the population has been absent for one reason or another,” said Michael Gray, assistant superintendent. When the Catholic board receives notifica- tion of a medically confirmed case of H1N1, it sends a notice to the school community, Mr. Gray said, but added many people don’t get tested. At the Durham District School Board, notic- es from the regional health department were sent before this season’s outbreak began occurring. “Basically it’s here,” Mr. Joel said. “There’s no more notices needed.” Along with reporting requirements to the Province, the board also reports daily to the Region’s health department. When a school hits 20-per cent absenteeism, it’s contacted by the department to ensure everything is being done appropriately to prevent its spread. There are no plans for closing schools in the near future. “Closing schools isn’t going to stop the spread of the flu,” Mr. Joel said. “It’ll just change the transmission point.” Both boards have put more emphasis on cleaning high-contact areas in the schools, such as doors, light switches and keyboards to help prevent the spread of flu. The Catholic board also has a pandemic task-force which meets weekly on Fridays, posts updates on the board’s website, and makes any changes to its plans as necessary. Recently, the Catholic board received one- time funding of about $27,000 from the Min- istry of Education to order alcohol-based hand sanitizers. -- With files from Jennifer Stone newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 4, 20093 The HST is coming.

Everyone stands a little straighter on the Waverley Road bridge over the Highway of Heroes, and in just a few moments, the procession carrying the body of Canada’s latest fallen soldier comes into view. With- in seconds, the hearse and accompanying limos stream under the bridge. But before they do, the windows open, and the hands of those one presumes are the family and friends of Sapper Steven Marshall, the 24- year-old Edmonton-based soldier killed Friday near Kandahar, come out, waving in gratitude to the crowd gathered on the bridge. It’s a bitter November day, reminiscent of many Remembrance Days of years past and sometimes it’s a little hard to tell if the tears on the faces of those gathered result from the wind or the event. But for Cecile Bowers, a longtime Bowmanville Legion member and daughter of a Second World War veteran, there’s no question. “I cry every time,” she said, as she held her Canadian flag steady over the side of the bridge over the Highway of Heroes, as she has almost every time the body of one of the 133 Canadians killed so far in Afghanistan has returned home, to make the trek from Trenton to Toronto. The most recent generation of war dead and veterans isn’t just having an impact overseas, she and others gathered on the bridge point out. The young men and women serving in active duty today are helping put a more relatable face on Remembrance Day. “We have Darryl Caswell’s name on our cenotaph now,” said Bowmanville Legion veteran affairs officer John Greenfield, referring to a Bowmanville man killed in Afghanistan in June 2007. “His name will be read off (on Remem- brance Day), same as all the other veter- ans.” Bill Walker is a reservist with the Ontario Regiment. He’s also a teacher who, Tues- day, attended school in his full uniform. When students asked why, he told them he would be on the bridge in the afternoon. “My students knew readily what I was talk- ing about,” he said. The wind picked up a little as the proces- sion approached, but no one on the bridge was heard to complain, as the procession carrying Sapper Marshall approached. “We can’t do much, but at least we can show a little respect,” said Bill Price as he held his flag and awaited the soldier’s return. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 4, 20094 AP 18 KING STREET EAST, OSHAWA 905.571.3511 GIFTWARE AND CANDLES CRABTREE & EVELYN BATH PRODUCTS AROMATIQUE HOME FRAGRANCES WATERFORD CRYSTAL HOME ACCENTS UNIQUE WALL HANGINGS ACCENT LAMPS DESIGNER BABY PRODUCTS 2 DAYS Saturday November 7th, 10am - 5pm Sunday November 8th, 10am - 4pm NO TAXNO TAX ON ALL REGULAR PRICED MERCHANDISE INCLUDING DEPARTMENT 56 & SNOWBABIES Christmas Hours after November 8th Monday- Thursday 9am-5:30pm Friday 9am - 8pm Saturday 10am-5pm Sunday 12pm-4pm Refreshments Christmas Christmas Ope n House Wednesday November 4, 2009 Ajax & Pickering Locations 255 Salem Rd.

On Monday, Dr. Arlene King, Chief Medical Officer of Health for Ontario, said in a press conference the Province received a “lower than expected supply of vaccine this week.” With fewer vaccine doses, the Region “won’t be able to fill physician orders,” Ms. Collins said. “What we’re doing is to continue focus- ing on the priority population, based on the shipment we have,” she added. “We’re asking physicians to do the same.” Some doctors have received vaccine, Ms. Collins noted. As for when a new shipment would be received, Ms. Collins stated, “We haven’t been given a timeframe from the Province, so at this time, we don’t know.” No decision has been made on whether specific clinics would be closed, she noted. “If we run out of vaccine, we’ll close clinics.” H1N1 Durham may run out of vaccine & A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions News Advertiser • November 4, 20096 P GAS PRICES Gas prices should not all be the same To the editor: What’s with this gas price monopoly? That is what it is, a “monopoly”. Have you noticed that when the gas goes up, all of the gas sta- tions, Wilson/Taunton, Harmony/Taunton, are all charging the same? Today it went up to $102.4. Guess what? All four stations are all charging the exact same amount. Whatever happened to the free enter- prise system? I remember when gas stations would constantly try to undercut one anoth- er to improve sales; now they obviously have come to an agreement, not to wage a price war, set prices. Disgusting would be a good word to describe the situation. I go to the gas station on Simcoe Street North across from Camp Samac, it’s always four cents/litre cheaper there, everyone should do the same. That would cause panic with the others I’ve mentioned. They would be forced to comply or be out of business. Edward Reilly Oshawa ENVIRONMENT Don’t be hasty with tax on carbon emissions To the editor: Global warming is much in the news these days and it is about to increase our taxes. Sci- entists state the earth is heating up and caus- ing destructive weather patterns among other effects. They state the cause is the green- house effect which theorizes that our burn- ing of fossil fuels forms a belt of carbon diox- ide around the earth, retaining heat from the sun. Western governments are passing laws to tax carbon emissions so as to reduce car- bon dioxide in the atmosphere and so reduce global warming. Not all scientists, however, believe that our burning of fossil fuels is the main cause of earth warming. A Danish scientist named Henrik Svensmark proposed a theory held by hundreds of scientists that storms on the sun increase the earth’s temperature by inter- fering with cosmic radiation hitting the earth thereby reducing cloud formation resulting in global warming. Fewer storms on the sun result in more cloud cover and thus lower temperatures. The evidence on both sides is incomplete and so we should wait before we dramatical- ly increase our taxes on carbon emissions if the sun is the main cause of global warming. The Harper government is wise in proceed- ing cautiously in this regard. With China and India not involved in this tax on carbon, we would do well to pause before driving over the cliff, especially during a recession. Chris Topple Oshawa LAWS Laws need to change on publishing names To the editor: Re: David Dewees, the Toronto teacher accused of sexual luring. Some media outlets are attaching his sui- cide to his identity being published. In 2007 I was charged with sexual assault on a former student and was ultimately acquitted in July 2009. Having my identity published was a depressing and humiliating experience. Threatened by jail guards, I lived in fear of being assaulted or killed by some lunatic because the person may have seen my pic- ture in the paper. Once accused, the stigma attached to it affects everything and every- one in your life. This is a devastating crime, innocent or not. Maintaining my innocence throughout, I was finally acquitted in court. That does not take away feelings I had, know- ing some looked at me with suspicion. I was even too uncomfortable to hug my nephews and nieces. The laws need to change regard- ing publishing names and pictures. Police, the media or the laws need to consider the circumstances carefully when deciding to publish someone’s identity: history of the accused, how many children unrelated to each other have come forward, etc. Mr. Dewees is innocent until he admits guilt or the court finds him guilty, which we will never really know. Ray Collingham Durham newsdurhamregion.comWE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Be patient as flu vaccines given to high-risk groups first Some valuable lessons have already been learned by the Province and steps have been taken to make the process run more smooth- ly, as the second week begins of doling out H1N1 vaccines to the people of Durham Region and Ontario. Ontario Chief Medical Officer Arlene King has said all Ontarians who want the flu shot should receive it by Christmas and right now priority is being given to high-risk patients. Approximately 14,000 people in Durham Region have already received the flu shot but, with the vaccine now in temporary short sup- ply and with long lineups at the vaccination clinics, it’s important to be patient and not panic. It’s up to each and every citizen to hon- our the guidelines the Ontario and Durham health departments have set out, in the weeks to come. This is as it should be. The Province badly underestimated the demand for the vaccine, some of which it cre- ated by issuing weekly updates to the media and the public on the upcoming flu season. Those updates talked about how bad the virus was going to be and warned people to get a shot once the vaccine was available. Simply put, officials used past seasonal flu shot clin- ics as a planning model for distributing H1N1 shots, something they should not have done after helping to create the demand. While deciding whether to get the vaccine is a personal choice each citizen must make, a great number of people have already decid- ed to get the shot. And so, last week, vaccina- tion clinics in Durham and around the GTA saw lengthy line-ups and wait times, clinics closing almost as soon as they had opened and people being turned away. Badly needed tweaks to the system have been made. At the same time, there is now an unforeseen delay in making vaccinations available to non-priority patient groups, as the vaccine manufacturer is unable to pro- duce as many doses this week as originally expected. Tuesday, the Region’s health department announced it was expecting to run out of vac- cine by the end of the week. When the clin- ics start up again, all residents should com- ply with health officials’ request that only high-risk patients queue up for the needle right now: people from six months to 65 years old with chronic medical conditions, preg- nant women with chronic medical condi- tions or who are more than 20 weeks preg- nant, healthy children from six months old to under five years old, people in remote com- munities, health-care workers and house- hold contacts and care providers of persons at high risk who cannot be immunized or who may not respond to vaccines. People who are not in high-risk groups must wait their turn. Co-operating with health offi- cials will make the whole process go easier and, when it’s all said and done, those who decide a needle is in the best interests of their own health will have it. WE ASKED After years of ignoring ‘friend’ invitations, I finally caved this past week and joined Facebook. Now I’m drowning in ‘friends’. My reason for jumping in, after resist- ing for so long, was, I think, a very honor- able one. An old high school chum, whom I hadn’t seen in many years and whom I was delighted to reconnect with, said that he was on Facebook and he’d found some other fondly remembered acquaintanc- es there as well. I figured, what the heck, I could quietly sign up, look for a number of treasured pals and rekindle some val- ued relationships. Just dip my toe in, so to speak. But with Facebook, I have learned, there is no ‘just dipping the toe in’. Far from a quietly rippling rill of pleasant memories, Facebook is a voracious swirling souse- hole with an unflagging appetite for names, photographs and minutiae. Within minutes of completing my pro- file, posting a photo or three and searching up an old acquaintance or two, I was del- uged by ‘friend requests’. My mailbox was suddenly gagging on reams of Facebook notifications. ‘So and so wants to be your friend’, ‘X added you as a friend’, ‘Y wants to sleep with you’. And for each one of these notifications, you are requested to do one of two things: A) confirm the applicant as a ‘friend’ or B) ignore the request. In fairness, a sizeable number of these came from individuals I was genuinely interested in confirming as friends. These were people that I either still maintained an active relationship with or remembered well and fondly from my past. But there were as many or more requests coming from people whose identity was a com- plete puzzle to me. I began to serious- ly wonder if I wasn’t suffering from some form of early onset Alzheimer’s. And this may be just me, but the attendant guilt is enormous. “Oh my God,” I found myself thinking again and again. “I must really be a self-absorbed jerk ... don’t remember any of these people.” And, of course, one’s first reaction is to simply go with the Facebook undertow and click ‘confirm’. Why make waves? But then, after a while it began to bother me, even anger me. I like the word ‘friend’. I like what it stands for. I like the history of friendships and the weight of them. Friendship after all, should be something you earn ... not click on. And so I began to man-up and started ‘ignoring’. But Facebook, and especially Facebook devotees, don’t like to be ignored. Now, it should be mentioned that when you do ‘ignore’ someone, they are not notified with a glaring message saying, ‘Neil Crone has decided you aren’t worth responding to’. They are simply not notified. However, as I say, Facebook is all about numbers. It survives on hungrily eating friends. Facebook veterans are a canny lot. They know that no response is as good as a virtual slap in the face. And some of them take it personally. One woman sent me a request, which, as I sincerely had no mem- ory of her whatsoever, I promptly ignored, and within minutes of my purportedly ‘safe’ non-response, she sent me another message, desperately wondering what she had done or said to make me not like her. Great. Thanks for the guilt trip. With ‘friends’ like that, who needs enemies? Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

If a story has an animal, especially one in distress, it will receive a lot of atten- tion and generate a lot of letters and phone calls. Two weeks ago, we received numerous calls from people about a cat stuck in a tree in Whitby. The cat had been in the tree for four days until it was rescued by an Ajax firm. Callers to the newsroom took dead aim at the Town of Whitby for doing nothing to help the cat. Those calls were quickly replaced, however, when the flu clinics opened last Monday. To call the scene at the clinics chaos would be an understatement. People called from the lineups where they had to wait three, four or five hours for their shots. One woman called, almost in tears, saying she had been wait- ing since 11 a.m. and was quickly told she wouldn’t be able to get in and get the shot. Another couple called and complained about the Oshawa lineup where seniors were waiting hours standing with their walkers. I received only one positive call from a lady in the lineup at the Whitby clinic who said local businesses were bringing hot chocolate and water to people in the lines and the local bank was letting people use the washroom. It reminded me of the Rodney Dangerfield joke about the guy who signed up for a bank account just so he could use the bathroom. But those calls have quickly stopped. Our reporters went out this week to see what the lines were like and there is more order. The Province has said those people in the high- need groups will get the vaccine first, mean- ing healthy people will have to wait their turn. The Province, and Durham Region, learned a lot this week. I put a lot of blame on the Province, which created this panic by contin- ually telling people this was going to be a bad flu season and they should get vaccinated as soon as possible. Hopefully the calls will quiet down and the clinics will now run smoothly. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a call to take about six beavers being killed by a trapper in Oshawa. Managing editor Mike Johnston writes a column every second week about life in the newsroom. Flu clinics trump animals MIKE JOHNSTON So many ‘friends’, so few friendships Humane mature. There’s just something about it. An image of an animal in distress seems to bring out a certain amount of passion in people. These images, more than most, tend to get a lot of attention. In the last two weeks we’ve come across two stories and photos of animals in distress. A cat in a tree for four days that no official group seemed to want to help and an aban- doned box of days-old kittens that were set on fire, with only one survivor. Unfortunate- ly, that kitten died two days later. In both cases, members of the general pub- lic who were moved by the plight of these animals stepped in to lend a hand. They didn’t do it for fame or money nor did they expect anything in return, they just wanted to do something positive and help out. There’s just something good about that.

At the latest council meeting, Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean intro- duced a motion that the question of wheth- er residents support a possible airport in north Pickering be added to the municipal election ballot in 2010. He felt public opin- ion is an important factor to be considered regarding plans for the land, expropriated by the federal government in 1972 and now sitting mainly vacant. The ballot would include the question: ‘Do you support the City of Pickering’s position to oppose construction and oper- ation of an airport in the City of Pickering? Yes or No.’ “This I think is an important ques- tion to put on the bal- lot,” Coun. McLean said, adding council is strongly opposed to an airport. He said many people new to Pickering don’t even know about the fed- eral government’s plans. Plus, he feels the referendum would encourage people to get out and vote. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick John- son felt it would convolute the election pro- cess and did not support the motion. Plus, he’s expecting an answer from the Greater Toronto Airports Authority by the end of 2009 on whether the airport will go ahead. “The people in Ward 3 know our posi- tion,” he said, referring to council’s opposi- tion. Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell said it would send a message to the Region of Durham, which currently has a Pickering airport mapped out in its official plan. Also, not everyone gets involved in political mat- ters, she said, and this is a good time to let those residents express their feelings on the topic. Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles didn’t support the motion, since after put- ting forward many motions in opposition to an airport, he feels it’s obvious most Pickering residents don’t support one either. But Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dicker- son felt the question is necessary. “At some point you have to ask people the question,” he said. “It’s been floating around for 37 years.” Five of the seven councillors supported the motion. This is only the first step in a long pro- cess for the possible referendum, which will include giving notice to the public and holding a public meeting, said City Clerk Debi Wilcox. “This is basically step one,” she said.

DURHAM -- A former provincial court cashier faces 18 theft and fraud charges after a lengthy police investigation. Durham Regional Police detectives with the Whitby Criminal Investigative Bureau began an investigation in Sep- tember at the request of the Provincial Offences Act administration office. The POA alleged money from fines had been stolen. An employee was suspend- ed in August while an internal investiga- tion was conducted. An external auditor retained by the court office looked into the matter and determined about $1,000 had been taken. Amanda Adams, 27, of Hwy. 46, Wood- ville, faces seven counts of theft under $5,000, five counts of uttering forged document, five counts of fraud under $5,000 and breach of trust by a public officer. The accused was released with condi- tions. If you have information about the investigation: CALL 1-888-579-1520 ext. 1834 Det. Const.

View photos of the 2009 Heritage Day Celebrations online at cityofpickering.com Santa Fund is up and running in Durham Region DURHAM -- Wearing furry red Santa Claus hats, three GTA newspaper publishers yesterday launched an annual drive that helps to make sure the holidays are bright for every child. Toronto Star Publisher John Cruickshank, Metroland Media Group Peel Region Publisher Ken Nugent and Dur- ham Region Publisher Tim Whittaker gathered at Santa’s secret warehouse just east of Mississauga to kick off the 2009 Toronto Star Santa Claus Fund. Partnered with the Missis- sauga News and Ajax-Pickering News Advertiser Santa Claus Fund, the campaign raised more than $1.6 million last year from readers, corporate spon- sors and community groups. That ensured some 45,000 chil- dren received a gift box. The campaign is entirely staffed by volunteers, who sort and pre- pare boxes and ensure they are delivered door to door. The Ajax- Pickering News Advertiser is also participating in the program. Tim Whittaker, Metroland Durham Region Media Group and Ajax-Pickering News Advertiser publisher, is justifiably proud to support the fund that helps the less fortunate, and he’s amazed by the continued efforts of staff to ensure area families have a happy holiday season. “This is our sixth year taking part in the Santa Claus Fund and each year the rewards increase,” said Mr. Whittaker. “Delivering the gift packages across Ajax and Pickering for the past five years has reminded our employees just how important it is to give back to the com- munity.” Mr. Cruickshank echoed his comments, adding that households everywhere are struggling. “We’re asking everyone in the community to care about the needs of these children to make sure they have a happy Christmas,” he said. The gift box contains a toque, gloves, some candy, a book, a toy, a sweater, toothpaste and toothbrush. For secure online donations, visit www.thestar. com/santaclausfund. For more information, contact the Ajax-Pickering News Advertiser Santa Claus Fund at 905-683-5110. The Star absorbs all administrative costs so all proceeds go directly into buying the gifts. Tax receipts will be issued. The Santa Claus Fund does not allow anyone to solicit on its behalf. -- Torstar news services LUCAS OLENIUK / TORSTAR NEWS SERVICES DURHAM -- Metroland publishers Ken Nugent, of Peel Region, left, and Tim Whittaker of Durham Region joined Toronto Star publisher John Cruickshank at the Santa Fund warehouse recently to launch Torstar’s campaign to deliver Christmas cheer to underprivileged children across the GTA.

Tim Whittaker BRIEFS Suspect sought in Ajax bar heist AJAX -- Police have released security camera images of a man wanted for robbing an Ajax gas sta- tion. The lone male walked into a Shell gas bar on Station Street at about 11 p.m. Oct. 28 and pulled a gun on the clerk, Durham police said. The robber fled with cash; no one was hurt. The suspect is a black man believed to be 20 to 30 with a slen- der build. He wore a black checked cap and a dark hooded sweater. The suspect wore what appeared to be a fake beard. Call police at 905-579-1520, extension 5360 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Burned kitten in Oshawa dies DURHAM -- A days-old kitten that survived being burned in a box died Oct. 30. Joseph was the only survivor of four kittens discovered in a box that had set on fire Oct. 28. Two teenag- ers discovered the box close to the railroad tracks near Albert and Bloor streets. After putting out the fire, the teenagers found three of the kittens had died and one was clinging to life. The six-day-old male kitten that survived the fire was in the care of a foster family on behalf of the Human Society of Durham Region until he died Friday. “The foster family is obvi- ously very upset,” said Ruby Richards, local shelter manager Ms. Richards said it’s difficult to pull an animal through at such a young age with such extensive injuries. Anyone with information related to this incident is asked to call the shelter’s investigations department at 905-433-2022 ext. 2 or Crime Stop- pers at 1-800-222-tips. Illegal guns seized from Durham teens DURHAM -- Teenagers are facing charges after two separate weapons seizures in Whitby and Oshawa. On Oct. 28, members of Durham police’s tactical unit backed up Toronto gang unit officers as they executed a search warrant at a Whitby residence, seizing a .45-calibre handgun, a dis- assembled shotgun, ammunition and a Honda Civic reported stolen from Toronto. A 17-year-old Whitby resident faces several charges. And, on Oct. 29, Durham offi- cers armed with a search warrant discovered a sawed-off shotgun at an Oshawa residence. An Oshawa resi- dent, 17, is charged. The identities of both youths are protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. 10 P News Advertiser • November 4, 2009newsdurhamregion.compulled their kids out of school because of what they’d heard about the flu. “It’s better to be safe than sorry, we keep hearing about the shortages,” said Mr. Lindstone. The couple said the focus was to get the kids vaccinated; their eight-year-old daughter has asthma, fitting the criteria for priority cases, but if the vaccine was available to them also they would get it. But as they waited in line, it wasn’t clear whether that would be the case or not. Christina Easey, a nurse who has already been vaccinated, was waiting in line with a family member, Trida Easey. Trida came to get the vaccine because she helps take care of her father, who is ill. The two had been in line since 8:30 a.m. and said they too had heard the Pickering clinic might open at noon. Christina Easey said she thought most people in line knew the focus was on priority cases. “Everyone in the line knows, they read up on it, they’re aware of it.” But a health department worker making her way up and down the line did not ask whether people were priority cases. Instead she asked if they had flu-like symptoms and stamped hands with the date. To help clarify who should be getting the vaccine, health department staff planned to start handing out flyers to those waiting in line on Monday. Jazin Bond, manager of public health, nursing and nutrition for the Dur- ham Region Health Department, said the goal is for people to make the determination before they wait in line for hours. “Right now, we’re doing everything we can to make sure the people who are in line and the people who are coming in the door fall into those prior- ity populations,” she said. “But, by the time people get through the process and get up to the clerk, we’re going to immunize them either way.” Ms. Bond said the fact that people ultimately won’t be turned away should not be taken as an invitation for those outside the priority groups to join the line-ups. “The risk for severe illness and hospitalization is highest for people in the priority groups, those people need to go first,” she said. People from six months to 65 years of age with chronic medical conditions -- such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease and weakened immune systems -- are among the priority groups, along with pregnant women with chronic medical conditions or who are more than 20 weeks pregnant, healthy chil- dren from six months old to under five years old, people in remote commu- nities, health care workers and household contacts and care providers of persons at high risk who cannot be immunized or who may not respond to vaccines.

BY KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Halloween for the Durham Deaf Centre was marred when a “heartless” ghoul broke in to its Oshawa office and stole a laptop. Lisa Westlake, the resource development officer for the centre, estimated the dam- age of the break-in and theft totals between $2,200 and $3,000. “There’s a great big sign in front of the building that says this is the Durham Deaf Centre. It’s heartless. Not only are you steal- ing from here, but the services that help those who are disadvantaged already,” said DDC executive director Yvonne Brown. The break-in at the centre’s King Street East location happened sometime on Sat- urday night or early Sunday morning. Like others in the social service sector, the DDC is dealing with a drop in funding because of the recession. “We’re already in a tough situation. We’re trying to overcome a lack of funding and we have this on our plate as well. We’re struggling in a strug- gling time,” Ms. Westlake said. “The dam- age done to the building, we’ll have to pay someone to fix.” Ms. Brown said the agency has insurance, but the deductible is $2,500, so it wouldn’t be worth it to go through insurance. Millwork Home Centre has donated a door to replace the one damaged, Ms. West- lake said. With the recession and the slump in man- ufacturing, fewer people are working and aren’t able to donate to charities, Ms. West- lake said. Durham Regional Police Sergeant Nancy van Rooy said police went to the site for a break-in after a tenant in an apartment called to report credit cards had been sto- len. The lock on a money box was broken and money taken, although it was primar- ily change, Sgt. van Rooy stated. Initially, it was thought two laptops were missing, but it was quickly determined that a staff mem- ber had one, so only one was taken, Sgt. van Rooy said. Anyone wanting to help can call the DDC at 905-579-3328 or TTY at 905-579-6495.

Ajax finished a four games in four days stretch with a pair of wins. They lost 5-4 in Peterborough and 6-1 to Wellington before bouncing back with wins of 5-4 over Bowmanville in a shootout and 6-4 in Cobourg. Tonight, they visit Pickering to take on the Panthers at 7:30 p.m. Pickering hosts Ajax Attack tonight at 7:30 p.m. BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The Pickering Panthers are one game shy of the 20 plateau this season, and head coach Bill Brady is still searching for an identity for his hockey club. Are they the team that went winless in eight outings to start the season? Are they the team that won five in a row? What he hopes they aren’t is the type of team that was iced Friday night against Stouffville. After playing a sound game on Thursday in Stouffville, resulting in a 2-1 victory, the Pan- thers did an about face 24 hours later in the second game of the home-and-home, embar- rassed 7-0. Stouffville led in every department, except perhaps for the fisticuffs, outshooting the Panthers 40-22 on the night, including 16- 4 run in the second period. The onslaught led to starter Anthony Kimlin being mercifully pulled after the sixth Stouffville goal, allowing rookie Charlie Millen to come in in a mop-up role for the final 15 minutes. “We played so well (Thursday). We battled, we competed, we did all the little things,” said Brady in assessing his team’s performance. “It’s like night and day. (Friday) we didn’t belong on the same ice as Stouffville.” While the Panthers are still trying to over- come that horrific start in which they went winless in the first eight games, currently sitting eighth in the East Division at 7-10-2, GM Keith Pandovski has been busy trying to improve the on-ice product. In the past few weeks, he has made a few roster moves, including obtaining forwards Hayden Perro- ni and Josh Dadic, then trading Perroni away for Jordan Ramsay, and adding defenceman Kane Hurley from the U.S. The process of everyone getting used to each other is something Brady and his staff will have to wait out. “It’s always a concern,” he said of moving players on and off the roster. “It takes a while to jell.” How long that period can be varies, but obviously, the sooner the better. “Sometimes it’s right away, other times it takes time,” Brady added. “You just have to wait and see. Hopefully they’ll mesh. Hope- fully they’ll like each other. Hopefully they want to play for each other.” The Panthers are back at it tonight when they host the Ajax Attack at the Pickering Rec- reation Complex, with a faceoff slated for 7:30 p.m. HOCKEY Panthers still searching for an identity HOCKEY OWEN SOUND -- The Ontario Hockey League announced Mon- day that forward Marcus Carroll of the Owen Sound Attack won the Boston Pizza OHL Player of the Week for the span ending Nov. 1. In three games played, the Ajax native led the Attack to three wins and also led the league in scor- ing with 10 points including three goals and seven assists with a plus-minus rating of plus-4. Carroll’s impressive week com- bined both personal and fran- chise records. He started the week off Thurs- day night with a goal and two points in a 5-4 shootout victory against the defending Memorial Cup champion Windsor Spitfires before things really got going for him. For the first time in his career, Carroll recorded a four-point game Friday night in a 6-2 win over the Plymouth Whalers. He opened the scoring on the power play at 2:10 of the first period and later added three assists before being named the game’s first star. Carroll repeated the feat one night later, again scoring a goal and three helpers in a 4-1 win over the Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors. He was named second star of the game, which was the 264th appearance of his career with the Attack, tying a franchise record for career games played. The mark ties Willie Skilliter, who played in 264 games as an Owen Sound Plater from 1991-95. Carroll is slat- ed to break the record tonight as the Attack host the Barrie Colts. His 10-point outburst in those three games more than doubled his offensive output from the pre- vious 16 games in which he had nine points. Ajax’s Carroll named OHL player of the week HOCKEY Generals on roller coaster ride BY BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Chris DePiero wants off the roll- er-coaster ride. At the quarter mark of the Ontario Hockey League season, the reality is the Oshawa Gen- erals are pretty much right where they expect- ed to be, hovering around the .500 mark at 7- 8-2-0 and in fifth place in the Eastern Confer- ence. But it’s the manner in which they’ve arrived there that has disturbed DePiero, the team’s head coach and general manager, especially the past five games, which have all been losses in regulation. Considering the current losing slide came on the heels of a five-game winning streak, DePiero’s not sure what to make of his young club right now. After Sunday’s 4-2 loss to the Belleville Bulls, DePiero spoke at length to the players, though not nearly as long as he did the week before, when they fell 6-2 to the Sarnia Sting. “You can’t go at it in the same vein every time or it’ll lose its lustre,” DePiero said of his post-game talk, which also wasn’t nearly as harsh as the week before. “We’ve got a say- ing that we’ve got to hate to lose more than we love to win. It’s just having the guys under- stand that. Winning is a habit, so is losing and we just have to understand not to let those losing habits creep in.” With two more strong Western Conference opponents lined up this week, in Saginaw Fri- day and Windsor Sunday, the Generals will be in deep to pull out of the slump any time soon. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 4, 200915 AP Continuing & Alternative Education Durham Catholic District School Board Please call Oshawa 905-438-0570 or Ajax 905-683-7713 for details www.con-ed.ca Day Courses for High School Credit New semester starts on Monday, November 16, 2009 in Oshawa.
