That’s partly why the St. Paul’s On-The-Hill Community Food Bank, which serves clients in Ajax and Pickering, is once again hosting its annual Thanksgiving food drive from Oct. 2 to Oct. 16. During that time, all Pickering fire halls, Pickering grocery stores and the two Sobeys stores in Ajax will have food-collection bins dedicated to St. Paul’s. But the drive’s purpose isn’t just to feed the local hungry for one special day; it’s to stock up the shelves for the rest of the year, especial- ly considering the growing demand in 2010.

Regional candidates have their say SPORTS 17 Purr-fectly awful More losses as Panthers fall to 1-7 Sherry Clymer says she’ll participate in Oct. 5 debate even with planned protest REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- An Ajax mayoral election candidate says while she regrets using the word ‘Nazi’ in a comment she made at a televised debate, she’s still seeking the may- or’s job. The issue came up at the Rogers mayoral debate on Sept. 21 when candidate Sherry Clymer was asked what mistakes council had made in the previous 10 years. She commented that if the Town was going to fly the pride flag, representing the gay community, then in the interest of inclusiveness, it had best fly the Nazi flag as well. She came under fire for the comment and on Fri- day morning Ms. Clymer sent out another statement via e-mail with the word “Retreat” as the subject line where she wrote she realized she crossed a line men- tioning the Nazi flag. “Please forgive me and forget me,” she wrote. But reached on phone on Monday, Ms. Clymer said she’s still running for mayor. “It was probably a bad title, I’m still here. I fell down, I got scared, but I’m back,” she said. “I’m running, I’m a candidate for mayor.” Ms. Clymer said she did not compare the pride flag to the Nazi flag, but rather mentioned it as part of a group. She added that she’s received support from people who say they understand her point. “I’m not leaving, you’re stuck with me. I just wish I hadn’t said that word, that’s all.” Ms. Clymer also said she continues to oppose the Town’s decision to fly the pride flag. “It is not the Town’s responsibility to make you feel good about your decisions,” she said. Although she doesn’t intend to put up election signs and campaign publicly, Ms. Clymer said she will attend the Oct. 5 mayoral debate. She may face protestors as a rally is being organized in support of Ajax’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer (LGBTQ) community.

The suspect is described as a tall, slim black man who wore a navy blue sweater and dark pants. Call police at 905-579-1520, extension 2526 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

In fact, the number of families using the food bank has increased so much for the outreach group that its had to increase its hours. Traditional- ly it has given out food every Tuesday and Friday morn- ing, except for the last week of the month. The food bank is now open every Tuesday and Fri- day, and starting in October, volunteers will be handing out food on Wednesday nights as well. Ms. Coulter said they just couldn’t han- dle the high volume of clients coming in at once. “Instead of 30 or 40, we’re getting 60,” Ms. Coulter said. “We just can’t handle the crowds.” Clients come in all shapes and sizes from single mothers with babies, to men in rooming houses. They’re grateful for the items they receive, which are often considered necessities to those better off financially. “It’s the little things, but they all take it,” Ms. Coulter said. Ms. Coulter thanks the community for its continuous generosity. “They support us year-round,” she said. Food St. Paul’s needs most includes Jell-O, cereal, jam, crackers, cookies, pancakes, canned fruit, canned pasta, canned vegetables, canned meat, tea, sugar, baby food, formula and diapers for babies of all ages. The food bank is at 1537 Pickering Pkwy. and is open to clients from 10 a.m. to noon on Tuesdays and Fridays, and starting Oct. 6, on Wednesdays from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Call the Ajax-Pickering food bank to ask how your school or business can donate, or to make food or monetary donations.

I could get into a long discussion about just how offensive this is but I know the greater Durham population does not feel this way. Ms. Clymer not only showed her utter ignorance, she also displayed her bigotry, homophobia and discrimination about an entire sector of the population. She assured herself a loss in this election. Ms. Clymer, gays vote, too. Barry Bedford Whitby REGISTRY VOTE Gun owners must obey the law To the editor: Re: Long gun registry. To all long gun lovers: It is no big deal to register your long guns. No one will feel sorry for you having to do so. Obey the law. Robert G. Sawdon Pickering COMMUNITY Many disabilities cannot be seen by others To the editor: Re: ‘Physical disabilities aren’t always apparent’, letter to the editor, Oshawa This Week and newsdurhamregion.com, Sept. 22. I agree with that letter so much. I take 70 pills a day to just to stay alive and I also take a cane with me most of the time. The cane is not for help with my legs, I use it for my balance. I would hate to be somewhere and fall and not have a way to get up and lean on something. Many people think that because they do not see a physical disability the person is OK. I would never think to ask someone on the bus to do something such as move because they look healthy. No one knows what a person’s disability is. I also do not have sight in my right eye. Because of this, I sometimes run into people and I apologize. I try to explain that I have no sight in my right eye, but they think that because it does not show, they think you are lying. I have decided to wear an eye patch when I am out in public because people seem to treat you better. So people, there are many disabilities that a person cannot see, but that does not mean a person is not disabled. Ron Horner Oshawa PETS Ajax needs to take another look at off-leash parks To the editor: There are many responsible dog own- ers in Ajax who exercise their pets and also pick up after their dogs. However, there is a great problem with both off-leash parks that have been in operation for the past 10 years. Greenwood is very remote and you need a car to get there. The Westney Park is close to the road and has no fence. With far more population than 10 years ago and more dogs, surely we should be investigating ways that pet owners can abide by the bylaws and still be able to enjoy their dogs with off-leash play. I’m sure that dog owners and non-dog owners would be happy with a solution that does not take more tax money to pay enforcement officers. Much is happening in the off-leash world -- small parks for small dogs, larger ones for the big dogs, some even with agility areas. It’s high time council called a meeting of interested persons who would like to research and create these neighbourhood areas and make sure they are well looked after with pickup bags and water. We need a plan suitable for our own Ajax community.

The youngsters, in the first classes of all- day kindergarten introduced this year by the provincial government, share their days with one another in a play-based program that encourages learning and discovery. Numeracy and literacy are introduced in simple, fun and structured activities while social skills are developed with small group instruction and peer interaction. Bolstering the academic effort are healthy physical activities for the kids, along with an arts component. In the simplest terms, all-day kinder- garten sets the template for learning that these young boys and girls will carry with them throughout their elementary and high school academic careers over the next dozen or so years of their lives. And according to early reports com- ing out of schools in Durham Region that introduced all-day kindergarten this year (with more to follow in subsequent years), the early results are impressive. Children are responding to, and are comforted by, the establishment of group routines, such as preparing for class, or gathering for a learning session after the recess. Play routines incorporate learn- ing with fun based on childhood develop- ment research. The combined skills of a teacher and early childhood educator in all-day kin- dergarten classes bring a broader scope of expertise, and the colourful, encouraging atmosphere helps foster an appetite for learning. It all points to providing youngsters with the best possible academic head start in their formative years. Credit is due to both boards in Durham Region for embracing all-day kindergar- ten in the first-phase schools, and to the teachers and ECE leaders who are wel- coming our school systems’ youngest aca- demics and preparing them for tomor- row. Motivated students who have the tools to learn, the resources to grow and a hun- ger to learn will contribute more to their communities over the long term. They are tomorrow’s business and political leaders, doctors, lawyers, accountants...and teach- ers. One day, long down the road, they’ll be able to look back and clearly point to the origin of their success. For the vast major- ity of them, it all began in September, 2010. 7 P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 29, 2010 You never really know what makes some people tick. I was in the ‘Shwa’ over the weekend and, while heading home, I pulled in behind a large, late-model truck. I drove blithely along behind this fellow for a few kilometres, minding my own beeswax. When we stopped at a set of lights I noticed the silhouette of the driver’s head behav- ing somewhat erratically. He was jerking his noggin manically back and forth from his rear-view to his side mirror as though he were desperate to get a better look at what was behind him. I had my moon-roof open and I could hear vague snatches of angrily muttered profanity as well. I did a quick mental inventory, curious as to whether I was transgressing some section of the Highway Traffic Act. Tailgating? No, I was well back. Seatbelts? On. Headlights? Both working. Any portion of my vehicle engulfed in flame? None that I could see. By now ‘truck guy’ was getting pretty lath- ered up. Apoplectic, actually. Something, windshield wiper fluid or spittle, was fly- ing from the window. I began to won- der why the red lights in Oshawa took so damned long to turn green. I had the dis- tinct impression that ‘truck guy’ was about to blow a panel and that if we didn’t get an amber soon, I could be face to spittle-cov- ered face with some serious road rage. Funny what goes through your head at moments like these. While I was more than certain my hydrophobic friend had every- thing from a Louisville slugger to an unreg- istered 12 gauge laid away in his vehicle, I had nothing quite so menacing. Within immediate reach were a bag of salt and vin- egar chips, a flower on my dashboard and an umbrella with a decidedly unthreaten- ing floral print on it. I briefly toyed with the idea of crushing the chips into a fine salt and vinegar powder which, when thrown into the eyes of my assailant, might tem- porarily blind him ... or at least make him hungry ... and perhaps buy me some time to flee. And still, through all of this, I was wonder- ing ‘What’, as my son would say, ‘is this guy’s boggle?’ Why was he so bent out of shape? What had I done to provoke him so? Perhaps he was a disgruntled, recently downsized GM employee thrown into par- oxysms of anger at the sight of my glaring- ly imported Volkswagen Beetle. My yellow Volkswagen Beetle. My yellow Volkswagen Beetle with the pretty yellow flower on the dash. Maybe he recognized me from television and he really, really hated Canadian pro- gramming. Maybe he really, really loved Canadian programming but he just hated me. Traffic finally started moving and a block later, as I briefly pulled alongside him to make a left turn onto the relative safety of the 401, our eyes met and I caught the full frontal impact of his expletive violence. Veins popping from his temples he cursed me at the top of his nicotine-scarred lungs. I, of course, responded by blowing him a kiss and giving him the bird. I know it was juvenile, but it’s what men do. We can’t help ourselves. Norman Vincent Peale would’ve flipped this guy off. Truck Guy must’ve gone completely off the dial then. I heard a small explosion from somewhere behind me as I slipped onto the highway. It was either his engine or his head, whichever was running hotter. As I say, we don’t ever really know what’s going on inside people. And sometimes that’s a good thing. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

Congratulations to the organizing team for set- ting up a fantastic run experience: from the registration team, the warm-up exercises, the opening speeches, the enthusiastic volunteers on the course distribut- ing water, gels or direc- tions, the massage tents and food at the end, and the planning of a five- and 10-kilometre loop were all signs of well-planned and executed event-day expe- rience. As well, a note of congrat- ulations to our mayor, coun- cil and past and present planners who had the foresight to envision what the water- front trail could be, and took steps to make it truly a showcase recreational amenity in the GTA.

Increase the Regional Tax Base. Climate Change Community Action Plan. High- light economic development towards food systems, green energy, and the arts in a Regional Sustainability Plan. Include stronger land-use policies to promote sustainable development, protect green- space and farmland, create complete communities that are pedestrian and transit supportive reducing costly urban sprawl while balancing economy and growth. Durham Region is developing Climate Change Action Plans with miti- gation and adaptation strategies. Food Security principles, the Food Charter and The Durham Food Policy Council have been established. I have been at the fore- front of these achievements and will con- tinue to move these and additional policy improvements forward. My philosophy on ethics and trans- parency in government: As the first Councillor elected with a “developer-free” funded election campaign to Pickering Council, I continue to lobby for Munici- pal Campaign Finance Reform. I believe development industry campaign dona- tions are a conflict of interest. People expect planning decisions to be made without the appearance of compromise. Also, people expect Council members to be more accountable and practice restraint with expense account spending. What are the biggest problems that have to be addressed in the ward you are running in?: Continue on implement- ing solutions to stormwater management and mitigate increased flood risk with City Staff, Regional Works and the Conserva- tion Authority. Prioritize economic devel- opment for Pickering’s Downtown Growth Strategy and Seaton’s Employment Lands to increase the tax base, create jobs and maintain Pickering as the lowest taxed lakeshore municipality in Durham. Implement Durham’s Transit Strategy and prioritize connecting to the TTC. How do you plan to bring a strong voice to the council table on Picker- ing’s behalf?: As a founding member of the Rouge Duffins Greenspace Coalition, 2001, I led the successful fight for Provin- cial Planning Policy Reforms. On Coun- cil, I’ve accomplished policy changes for Local Food and a Food Systems Econo- my, an Urban Forest Strategy, established Community Gardens and Environmental Stewardship Pickering. I have the experi- ence, knowledge and life skills necessary for this job. I will continue to set a positive mandate moving forward. Pickering candidates for Regional Councillor ... on strong feelings, ethics and transparency (1 elected per ward) Jennifer O’Connell Ward 1 Three issues I feel strongly about: Taxes. In 4 years taxes have risen by 22% in Pickering. We have a revenue problem, 85% of the property taxes collected come from homeowners, whereas only 15% comes from the commercial tax base. We must create a vibrant business com- munity to balance our revenue streams. Safer Streets. We need to find new ways to slow cars on residential streets, while not interfering with emergency services and snow plowing. There is no quick fix for this issue however I will continue to work hard to find appropriate solutions. Sustainable Development. We must fight against urban sprawl such as the North- east Pickering lands. We need to work with the Provincial government to free up our employment lands to create the much-needed jobs in our community as well as to resolve the huge residential tax reliance. My philosophy on ethics and trans- parency in government: I feel very strongly that Council must be open and transparent. I have fought to deal with important issues in the public session instead of behind closed doors, such as the York Region sewage pipe debate. I also fought against keeping Council votes while in confidential meetings secret from the public. I moved a motion for Pickering to establish an Integrity Commissioner to investigate complaints from the public. What are the biggest problems that have to be addressed in the ward you are running in?: Both Pickering and Durham Region must address the backlog of aging infrastructure. We have roads, sidewalks, fences and pipes (just to name a few) of infrastructure that need immediate attention. As in the case in West Shore where sanitary sewers are backing up, these projects have gone unattended for too long and will take years to complete. We need a 5-year infrastructure plan to prop- erly budget and ensure regular ongoing maintenance occurs. How do you plan to bring a strong voice to the council table on Picker- ing’s behalf?: I will continue to be pas- sionate, hard working and never afraid to ask the tough questions. I pride myself on representing my community and I feel I have been successful because I am not afraid to fight for what I believe in. I come to Council prepared to ensure a strong understanding of the issues and can put forward knowledgeable arguments. I also believe in strong community consultation to ensure the residents are always part of the process. Bill McLean Ward 2 (acclaimed) Three issues I feel strongly about: 1. Costly growth such as Seaton and the attempt to develop on environmentally sensitive farm lands situated on the head waters of Carruther Creek in Green- wood. Both of these could bankrupt our city with costly infrastructure cost. I will continue to appose the Greenwood plan and fight to ensure the Province and Developers are on the hook and not the tax payers of Pickering. 2. Rising taxes, I will continue to work to attract business and jobs and build up our industrial tax base thereby giving relief to the home owners. Spending your dollars wisely has been a priority of mine and will con- tinue to be. 3. Aging infrastructure within our city, roads, sidewalks sewers librar- ies and recreation facilities, responsible budgeting and planning for repairs is a must. My philosophy on ethics and trans- parency in government: As noted by news advertiser, June 25/10 “Councillor McLean has the lowest expenses and advocates for transparency”. Council- lor O’Connell and I brought a motion to council for an Integrity Commission for Pickering, this was defeated 5 to2. Another motion was for accountability, if the mayor or a councillor were rais- ing funds, the donors and the amount of money donated and how the money was spent be brought to council for open dis- cussion, Defeated 5 to 2. What are the biggest problems that have to be addressed in the ward you are running in?: I have concerns with the proposed future development of lands between Bayly, Liverpool, 401 and Sandy Beach Rd. This involves a total makeover for condos and office towers. 2. A sidewalk between Liverpool and Walnut lane is a must as well as sidewalk and street improvements for Liverpool Rd. 3. The construction of the Big Sewer Pipe and its possible effects. 4 Safety in our parks and streets. Traffic congestion and parking issues and high taxes. How do you plan to bring a strong voice to the council table on Picker- ing’s behalf?: I am proud of my record at City Hall of standing up for and speak- ing on behalf of my residents,ie: Anti HST motion, Stop the Pipe Motion, getting compensation for over 1200 residents who had broken windshields on the 401, the proposed Blvd on Brock Rd South dividing the business community, contin- ue to fight for respecting the tax payers dollars. Being the voice of residents and not developers. working collaboratively to resolve disputes. Rick Johnson Ward 3 Three issues I feel strongly about: Jobs need to be created offsetting our tax ratio so that the mill rate can reflect closer to a 60-40 split of residential/ industrial business. Keeping up with the demands to provide more senior facili- ties for our aging population and control- ling the budgets to provide services for our youth through new parks, arenas, soccer fields and baseball diamonds. I am committed to Zero tax increase and supported zero tax increase for 10 years at Pickering Council. I continue to vote against unnecessary tax increases. My philosophy on ethics and trans- parency in government: For the last 22 years all my expenses have been made public and are well documented through the News Advertiser and other media publications. Twice a year I put out a newsletter and information calen- dar to all my constituents to keep them updated with the latest information per- taining to decisions that I, and we as a council have made. What are the biggest problems that have to be addressed in the ward you are running in?: The proper infra- structure has to be in place prior to any building permits being issued. Job cre- ation again, along the 407 corridor is a number one priority. We need to bring our taxes down by creating more jobs so people can work and live in a much more friendly environment away from gridlock and congestion. How do you plan to bring a strong voice to the council table on Pick- ering’s behalf?: I have always had a great passion for the community that I live in and represent. As an advocate for the burden placed on the local tax- payer I will continue to negotiate with my collegues the most responsible and least expensive solutions through our budget process. Peter Rodrigues Ward 3 Three issues I feel strongly about: Property taxes are ridiculously high. We either need to raise the development charges, since growth does not pay for growth, or actively and vigorously attract more jobs/businesses to Pickering. Environmental Protection is critical, whether from sewage, incinerator, or urban sprawl. Care for the environment, including farmland for future genera- tions, is necessary. Councillor Conduct needs to be publicized, whether it is their voting record or excessive spend- ing. We need better communication with residents. Community Associations need to be established in every com- munity. Your Voice needs to be heard in-person regularly by your Regional Councillor. My philosophy on ethics and trans- parency in government: Ethics, Trans- parency and Accountability are all very necessary for democracy to function. When people don’t believe their Coun- cillors represent the best interest of res- idents, then trust fails. This is evident to anyone who speaks with residents, as it is one of the primary reasons why vot- ers abandon their willingness to vote. What are the biggest problems that have to be addressed in the ward you are running in?: Not enough space here. See my website www.Your- VoicePickering.ca for more details. How do you plan to bring a strong voice to the council table on Picker- ing’s behalf?: With persistence, integ- rity of character, well-reasoned argu- ments to support issues, open discus- sions, public disclosures, and advanced notification to residents. An adversarial approach is not always necessary, but rather it can be better to explain the benefits for all municipalities.

DURHAM -- Wearing or carrying pink in Durham Region can not only show you support breast can- cer research, but it can get you a deal on an ice cream cone. On Friday, Oct. 1, a nationwide pink revolution will kick off at all 120 Canadian Baskin Robbins locations in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Customers who show something pink to a Baskin Rob- bins employee will receive a 31-per cent discount off any ice cream served in a waffle cone. To be eligible for the discount, customers must show or display something pink on their person while in the store, such as a pink key ring, cellphone or lipstick. The promotion, which will be held through Nov. 30, encour- ages customers to support a future without breast cancer by making in-store cash donations as well. Each pledge of support, through a cash donation or purchase of an ice cream cone, will be recognized with a pledge card added to the Baskin Robbins Pink Wall of Fame.

Now the social five year old is “the life of the party,” he said. That’s why Mr. Autwal said he will be tak- ing Asia to the new Parent and Family Litera- cy Best Start Hub which opened at Bolton C. Falby Public School in Ajax. “It teaches her social skills, motor skills,” he said. “The best thing is it teach- es her to share with other kids.” The hubs show caregivers educa- tional ways to play with their children and give youngsters a time to social- ize and learn skills, said Durham Dis- trict School Board Trustee Larry Jac- ula. “The parents play with the kids as well and learn the kind of play that is educational so they can take that home with them,” he said. Kids are always accompanied by a caregiv- er and programs are geared to kids ages six and under. Depending on the day, the hubs will feature either a drop-in play-style for- mat, where there will be structured and edu- cational play, or there will be a formalized program where caregivers can learn specific things, said Lisa Millar, Durham superinten- dant for early learning. The Ajax site is the first of four slated to open this year. The hub is located in a room at the elementary school and looks like a kin- dergarten classroom, with areas for reading, playing with blocks and crafts. Two hubs opened in Oshawa and Beaver- ton last school year with great success. Dr. C.F. Cannon Public School had 3,683 vis- its from children and 917 visits from adults to their programs. The Beaverton site had 1,095 visits from children and 103 visits from adults. North American research shows early edu- cation greatly impacts student success in school and graduation rate, Ms. Millar said. The hubs, which are a partnership between the board, the Regional Municipality of Dur- ham, Family Commu- nity Action Program and the YMCA, also help connect parents and caregivers with the community. Last year, caregivers who went to the C.F. Can- non location got 90 referrals to agencies in the community for services such as men- tal health, Ms. Millar said. The six hubs are spread out around Durham in areas where they are need- ed, she said. “We used data to help us deter- mine where the need was.” The data they looked at includes early development instrument statistics, which are analysis of skills as children enter kinder- garten, and Grade 3 EQAO scores, Ms. Millar said. Shelly Bugera said she will be taking her son 14-month-old Evan and the child she watches, two-year-old Caleb, to the new location. It will give her some time to inter- act with adults and will allow the kids to play with others their age, she said. “There’s really not a lot around for the kids,” she said.

Durham Regional Police arrested the couple in Oakville on Sunday, Sept. 19 where, police say, they had been going to open houses.

Mr. King has also been charged with attempted theft under $5,000 and breach of proba- tion. They were held for bail hearings. Police have recovered a large quantity of jewelry, money and property total- ing approximately $100,000 and are asking members of the public affected by these thefts to contact police and identify their property.

PICKERING (South side of Hwy. #2, just west of library) P: 905-509-1722 www.mlcp.ca WELCOME TO THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF QUALITY EDUCATION PRIVATE SCHOOL Education ADVERTISING FEATURE At some point we all have to pitch in a bit to help our children complete their homework. Whether its going to the library with your daughter to get research materials, explain- ing fractions to your son, or quizzing them before the big test, we all want to be supportive and helpful. And sometimes your child practices keen homework-eva- sive maneuvers, and then you have to turn into a homework commander, just to make sure that some homework gets done (hopefully not by you). So what’s the solution to prevent having to do it yourself, or nagging until your throat is sore? When it comes to homework time, a little organization and strategic planning help to make the homework hour structured, so that kids don’t have to rely on you, and so that you don’t have to put on your nagging hat. Follow our 10 homework tips to transform the homework hour from headache to hassle-free. • Set Up a Study Area—This is a specific area where your child can do homework without interruption or distraction. It’s a place where he can leave his bookbag, and get his work done. • Make Materials Available—Everything your child needs for homework should be within easy reach. It may be a dic- tionary or pencil crayons, but the less time that your child spends searching for needed supplies, the better focused she will be. • Remove the Distractions—Turn off the TV, log off the net, turn the radio down. • Offer Guidance—Children will sometimes need your help to understand what needs to be done and possibly how, but avoid doing the work yourself. • Use An Agenda—so that instructions, assignments, and due dates are not forgotten. • Stay Informed—Ask the teacher about upcoming projects and assignments so that you know what is coming down the pipeline. • Be a Role Model—Bring some work home from the office. Children model their behavior on yours. When you do work at home, you are setting a good example. • Offer Praise—Keep it specific, such as “it’s great to see you buckle down like that!” • Watch Frustration Levels—Everybody needs a break from time to time so that frustration doesn’t go unchecked. Take a short breather every 20-30 minutes. When not monitored, frustration can destroy a student’s motivation. • Set a Time Frame—There is a 10 minute rule of thumb for how long homework should take: 10 minutes for grade 1, then add ten minutes for every grade that follows. So a child in grade six should have about 60 minutes of homework; a student in grade 12 should have two hours (120 minutes). Bonus Tip - Get Help – If you or your child are strug- gling to get homework or school under control in the first few weeks of the year don’t delay, get help now before you child falls behind and becomes discouraged. Oxford Learn- ing helps students develop stronger academic skills, effec- tive study strategies and independent homework habits so they can achieve their full potential in school.

Turn Homework Hour into Happy Hour: from Oxford Learning durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 29, 201016 AP Organizers hope Oct. 3 event surpasses 4,500 participants KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Before they run for a cure, about 50 breast cancer survivors gathered to celebrate. Wearing pink wigs, the women met at the Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens on Sept. 23 for a Survivor Celebration and to promote the upcoming run. This will be the 11th anniversary of the run in Dur- ham Region. Last year, about 4,500 people took part, raising $550,000. “We’re hoping for the same number or to surpass it, if we can,” says run director Mellisa Seagull. About $22 million was raised across Canada last year, Ms. Seagull notes. This is the first year Louise Pennie of Oshawa has taken part in the run. She was diagnosed two years ago and wasn’t physically able to take part last year. Ms. Pennie has been cancer free for more than a year and she’ll be joined by her family in the run. At the celebration with her children -- Olivia, five, and Luke, three -- Ms. Pennie said, “This is what makes you go on. There’s no other choice. You have to go on because you have kids. “You need to surround yourself with positivity,” she said. Ms. Pennie had stage 3 breast cancer. “The tumour was pretty big. I found it myself. I actually thought I was pregnant again. ‘We’re on our way to our third child.’ We trusted our instincts. It turns out it wasn’t,” she states. She received her treatment at the cancer centre in Oshawa. “They’re the best. The cancer centre is the best. Not that I ever thought I’d be there. They make it feel like you’re going to be OK.” That didn’t stop her from asking the question many who get cancer will ask. “It happened to me when I was very young. I still ask the question of ‘why me? I’m healthy. Why me’?” Carole Keys, of Whitby, could have asked that ques- tion several times. She was diagnosed with breast cancer three consecutive years, from 1994 to 1996, and has been diagnosed with cancer seven times. “It’s just a reoccurrence. All had lymph node involvement,” Ms. Keys notes. She’s taken part in the run since 1993 in Toronto. “I was one of the organizers to bring the run to Dur- ham years ago. Our run in Durham keeps growing.” Ms. Keys hasn’t let cancer keep her down. “I’m absolutely thrilled to be here tonight to cel- ebrate all of us. We’ve dealt with the disease. I look forward to the run on Oct. 3,” Ms. Keys says. Also looking forward is Denise Holland, of Ajax. This year is the first time she’s participated, and she’ll be joined by husband Mark (no relation to Ajax Liberal MP Mark Holland ), son Tim, 18, and daugh- ter Kirsten, five. Ms. Holland’s doctor found a lump in her left breast in December of 2008. “It was the worst Christmas of my life,” she said. The diagnosis wasn’t confirmed until January. “I didn’t find out until January it was cancer. He found the lump in my left breast, but it turns out the cancer was in my right breast,” Ms. Holland states. As she works at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Cen- tre, she found out what her prognosis was herself. “Checking the results is not the way you want to find out,” she notes. She found out at 10 p.m. “It was the worst night of my life.” Ms. Holland had surgery in February. “I had an odd kind of cancer -- mucinous carcino- FUNDRAISER Durham’s 11th annual breast cancer run in Oshawa ma. It’s invasive and comes from outside the ducts,” Ms. Hol- land states. The rate of survival for her kind of cancer is “good. I just went for my 18-month follow up. It was all clear.” The run this year is being held at Lakeview Park, at the foot of Simcoe Street in Oshawa. Registration opens at 8 a.m. and the event begins at 10 a.m., followed by the awards presenta- tion at 11 a.m. There’s both a five-kilometre and one-kilo- metre route, and participants can walk or run.

The Ontario Junior Hockey League team had another weekend come and go without any points to show for their efforts, doubled both times, losing 6-3 to Upper Canada on Fri- day and then 4-2 to Wellington on Sunday in a game played at the Ajax Community Centre. The losses leave the Panthers with a 1-7 record on the season and a losing streak of four in a row. Still, Goodwin is looking for small things to build on at this point. “I think there were a lot of positives,” he said following Sunday’s loss to the Wellington Dukes. “I thought there were some positives Friday night as well. Friday we outchanced (Upper Canada) in the first period and were down 3-1. We have to capitalize on our chanc- es and we need some saves at the right time.” Upper Canada went up 4-1 through two peri- ods, and the teams exchanged a pair of goals each in the third period. Two of the goals by the Panthers came on the power play, as Jamie Sodhi and Cole Watkins clicked with the man advantage in the third period. Khalid Alli had the first goal of the night for the Panthers in the first period. Against Wellington, the Panthers held leads of 1-0 in the first and 2-1 in the second before three straight to end the period by Wellington put the game out of reach. “(Sunday) we took some penalties in the second period that we shouldn’t have. They weren’t scoring chances. They were away from the play,” said Goodwin. “(Wellington) is number two or three in Canada for a reason. “We never stopped working and I was happy. I mean, you’re never happy with a loss, but that was a complete team effort.” Tyler von Engelbrechten continued to lead the Panthers offensively, scoring his team leading seventh goal of the season to go along with five assists. He fired home a rebound on the doorstep of Wellington netminder Ryan McDonald during a first period power play. Alli notched his third of the season in the sec- ond period after Wellington had tied it 1-1 on a rebound, giving the Panthers another lead. But Wellington beat Panthers goalie Adam Stein on another rebound during a power play, a low shot from the point on a two-man advantage, and a snapshot that squeezed between his arm and side in a five minute span. While the slow start is concerning, Goodwin is confident his team will pull through. “I’ve been through this before, but it’s not like our guys aren’t working,” he said. “I see that they are committed and they want to do better. It’s tough. It’s a tough league, but we’ll get it straightened out. “They know what to expect from me and I know what they are all about. They have been good that way in responding to me in anything I have asked them to do.” THE SCOOP Missing from Sunday’s lineup with injuries were Corey Helliwell and Jonny Simone. Forward Jordan Ram- say is home awaiting a trade at the request of coach John Goodwin ... The 7-5-12 point totals Tyler von Engelbrechten has put up has him sitting 15th in the league scoring race.

The Lightning came up empty in a 4-0 loss to Whitby, but man- aged a point in the home opener Sunday afternoon in Ajax against Aurora after losing in overtime 3-2. Rebecca Rutherford and Megan Simpson had the goals for the Lightning, who are off until Oct. 16 when they visit Southwest. FOOTBALL Robertson runs away with Shaughnessy Cup MONTREAL -- Concordia return specialist Kris Robertson took a punt back 62 yards for a touch- down that sealed a 34-29 victo- ry over the McGill Redmen in the annual Shaughnessy Cup game in Montreal on Sept. 17. The Pickering native’s hero- ics came with 2:23 left to play and gave Concordia the lead for the first time in a tumultuous affair that saw the Stingers trail by as much as 15 points earlier in the game. “I took a couple of steps to the right, made a hard cut left and saw a lane,” said Robertson on Concor- dia’s website. He also plays cor- nerback for the Stingers. “I said to myself, ‘This is a touchdown.’ It felt great. My team needed it and I had to get it done.” Despite the spectacular touch- down, Robertson and the Stingers needed some help to hang on to the victory. McGill took possession of the ball with the score 34-29 and 47 seconds left to play. The Redmen drove down the field quickly and were on Concordia’s one-yard line. They had three chances to punch it in for the victory, but penalties and strong defence, including a game- ending interception by the Sting- ers’ Kyle Smith, shut them down. Since 1975, the Shaughnessy Cup has been fought for in an annual challenge match between McGill and Concordia University. Robertson is a 5-foot-8 grad of St. Mary Catholic Secondary School, who is studying anthropology at Concordia. MONTREAL -- Kris Robertson ran a punt back for a touchdown to lead his Concordia Stingers football team to a 34-29 victory over rival McGill. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 29, 201018 AP Kim Mitchell Sat.

Quite possibly, a darn good one too. The Generals offered a little bit of everything for the 3,961 fans who took in their home opener at the General Motors Centre Friday, most importantly a 9-2 victory over the Peterborough Petes and a 2-0 record to start the Ontario Hockey League season. It was a game featuring sever- al picturesque goals by the home side and a whopping 11 fights, five of them coming at the same time, immediately after the Petes’ Jamie Wise sprayed Generals goalie Michael Zador with snow. The brawl, which saw four play- ers per side ejected, also came six seconds after a hard but clean hit along the boards by Gener- als defenceman Scott Valentine on the Petes’ Matt Puempel, who had scored three goals the night before in a 5-4 Oshawa victory in Peterborough. Considering the score was 8-1 at the time and the fierce rivals were playing for the second time in as many nights, it was hardly sur- prising to see a melee ensue. And, while suspensions may come as a result, Generals coach and general manager Chris DePiero said after the game he had no problem with his team’s response. “I’m very happy that we stuck up for each other,” he said. “We preach a lot about team and fam- ily and it’s important that we do that and stick up for each other. There’s stuff that I don’t think we need to engage in, but that stuff, I have no issues with engaging in. None.” He also had no issues with the way his troops stormed out of the gate. Clearly upgraded in talent by a wide margin from the past two seasons, the speedy Generals jumped out to a 3-0 lead just past the midway point of the first, driv- ing Andrew D’Agostini from the Peterborough net after just five shots. Although admittedly neither D’Agostini nor replacement Kein- an Brown were sharp, the Gener- als displayed a new-found knack to get the job done near the net and built the lead to 7-0 before Zador finally lost his shutout bid on a 5-on-3 Peterborough power play late in the second period. “It’s one of those games where we capitalized on some chances early and it kind of broke them a bit,” DePiero said. “The stuff in the third is unfortunate in terms of how it played out, but I have a hard time in a game where there’s a good hit and guys have to answer for a good hit.” Valentine, who just returned from the Anaheim Ducks’ camp earlier in the week, was a pillar of strength on the blue-line quite apart from the big hit. He picked up three assists, blocked sever- al shots, helped kill seven of the nine Peterborough power plays, and earned the first star. Even fresher from an NHL camp, Rangers prospect Christian Thomas re-scheduled a flight out of New York so that he could get to the game in time, and scored twice, including the opener 2:39 in. All in all, the game was very encouraging to DePiero, who has to be pleased with the early play of Zador and starting to wonder how good this team can be if defence- man Calvin de Haan is returned by the New York Islanders. “I think we upgraded our tal- ent and skill, and that’s what I’m excited by,” he said. “For me as a coach, this is finally a team I can sink my teeth into because it’s about speed, it’s about skill and it’s about playing smart.” The Generals are in Ottawa Fri- day for a 7:30 p.m. start, and back at the GM Centre for a 6:05 p.m. game with Kingston Sunday. SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Oshawa Generals’ Scott Sabourin cheered after scor- ing a goal in the first period against the Peterborough Petes in the Generals’ home opener at the General Motors Centre. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 29, 201019 AP Wednesday, September 29, 2010 Ajax & Pickering Locations Flyers in Today’s Paper If you did not receive your News Advertiser/fl yers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at 905-683-5117.

ONLY LOSSA FOOTBALL St. Mary picks up week one win over Pickering Lots of points put up in opening week of action DURHAM -- The Donald A. Wilson Gators, it appears, hardly had to break a sweat in their LOSSA senior boys’ football opener last week. The defending champion Gators, led by a four-touchdown effort from Omar Wil- liams. posted a 48-0 victory over the J. Clarke Richardson Storm in week one of tier one action. Chivon Gallagher also had a big game, accounting for a pair of major scores and added six converts. Greg Morris also had a touchdown. St. Mary 16 Pickering 3 Elsewhere, the St. Mary Monarchs start- ed out strong, downing the Pickering Tro- jans 16-3, in a rematch of last year’s semi- final. Keith Cyrus tossed opening quarter touchdowns to Daniel Tomei and Karl Mueller, 31 and 61 yards, respectively. Sandwiched between the touchdowns, was a 21 yard field goal by Pickering’s Mike Stobbart. The only other scoring was a safety that the Trojans conceded. Paul Dwyer 26 Ajax 0 In Oshawa, Paul Dwyer Saints quarter- back Erik Kimmerly tallied a pair of touch- downs, while Trent Frawley and Albert Spena added others in a 26-0 shutout of the Ajax Rams. The Holy Trinity Titans had a bye in week one. Port Perry 7 Uxbridge 6 In the tier two senior loop, a Nathan Scott single point proved to be the difference for the Port Perry Rebels in a 7-6 victory over the Uxbridge Tigers. Logan Evans scored the Rebels touchdown, while Dylan Smith accounted for the Uxbridge major. Pine Ridge 19 Eastdale 14 In other action, despite a pair of touch- downs from Garrett Wiliams, the Eastdale Eagles fell in their opener, 19-14 to Picker- ing’s Pine Ridge Pumas. The Pumas had three different players, Randall Inniss, Andrew Brownlee and Cordel Clarke, score touchdowns. Dunbarton 14 O’Neill 8 Winless in 2009, the Dubarton Spartans picked up a huge week one win, downing the O’Neill Redhawks 14-8. Ronnie Clark was on the receiving end of a 23 yard pass to put the Spartans within two with just over three minutes left in the third. In the fourth, Roynelle Meredith scored the go ahead touchdown on a five yard quarter- back keeper. Taylor Zak with a touchdown and Taylor Smith a convert, accounted for O’Neill’s points. Notre Dame 22 Denis O’Connor 2 Notre Dame was impressive in their opener, posting a 22-2 victory over Denis O’Connor. Kurlan Cadel accounted for three touch- downs and a two point conversion, while Hollister Joseph had two single converts. Ryan Chafe posted Denis O’Connor’s points with a safety. Sinclair 26 St. Stephens 8 Sinclair, meanwhile, the defending tier two champions, built an 11 point halftime lead and carried that to a 26-8 victory over St. Stephens. Scott Burford had a pair of touchdowns, with others going to Kyle Parker and Ellis Xavier. Cameron Gilmore had the lone St. Ste- phen’s touchdown. The Bowmanville Talons had the bye. The following is a list of scores and standout performances from tier one junior: Wilson downed Richardson 54-15 thanks in part to three touchdowns from Andrew Smith; Raekwon Grant scored four times in Pickering’s 38-14 victory over St. Mary; Paul Dwyer downed Ajax 14-8 with a touchdown each from Shayne Nelsonand Reshaan Davis. In tier two junior, Jason Boake had two touchdowns in Uxbridge’s 36-16 win over Port Perry; Pine Ridge defeated East- dale 25-20 with four touchdowns from Meschach Green; Five different players scored touchdowns in Dunbarton’s 33-7 victory over O’Neill.
