The Pickering Veterans Association met at Mr. McTeague’s office to present him with the petition to deliver to the House of Commons. “These forms represent the kick-off for a rally to be held on Nov. 6 at 11 a.m. at MP offices across Canada,” said Elsie Hetherman, presi- dent of the association. The petition asks for support for veterans to ensure they are provided lifelong compen- sation reflecting their invaluable sacrifice to Canada.

Michael Ross Stratton presents a moderate to high risk to re-offend, but that risk can be managed, Dr. John Bradford testified Tuesday in Oshawa. Mr. Stratton, 43, is fight- ing an application by the Crown to have him jailed indefinitely as a danger- ous offender. The Whitby man has pleaded guilty to sexual offences involving nine victims, most of them children. Dr. Bradford said Mr. Stratton is a pedophile with sadistic tendencies, a diagnosis that typical- ly implies a likelihood of reoffending. But Mr. Strat- ton has also expressed a willingness to under- go treatment, including counselling for deviant sexual behaviour and sub- stance abuse, as well as drug treatment for his high sex drive, Dr. Bradford tes- tified. “Without treatment there’s nothing to mod- erate the risk of sexual offence recidivism, which is at a moderate to high level,” Dr. Bradford said. Dr. Bradford has rec- ommended Mr. Stratton be declared a long-term offender, which would see him subjected to monitor- ing following his release from prison. But the Crown is asking Ontario Court Justice Paul Belle- fontaine to impose a dan- gerous offender label, which would see Mr. Strat- ton jailed indefinitely with periodic reviews of his status. The other option available to the judge is to reject both designations and simply sentence Mr. Stratton on the crimes to which he’s pleaded guilty. Mr. Stratton was arrest- ed in June of 2006 after a complaint by a single victim. An investigation by Durham police led to the discovery of a collec- tion of tapes Mr. Stratton had made of himself and his young victims. As the investigation progressed, more victims were identi- fied. Prosecutor Kent Sali- wonchyk is presenting a case that highlights Mr. Stratton’s lengthy history of criminal activity, with an emphasis on his devi- ant sexual behaviour. “We are aware Mr. Strat- ton has been offending against children since the 80s and has managed to avoid detection,” he said Tuesday. The sentencing hearing continues. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 15, 20103 AP Architectural Glass and Metal Technicians Brick and Stone Masons Cement Finishers Construction Craft Workers Drywall, Acoustic and Lathing Applicators General Carpenters Painters & Decorators - Commercial & Residential Painters & Decorators - Industrial Plumbers Roofers Sheet Metal Workers Steamfi tters Welders Construction Sector Trades Information Session CAW Local 222 Hall 1425 Phillip Murray Avenue, Oshawa October 28th, 2010 - 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Resume Critique, Skills Assessment, Buffet Lunch Only 100 seats available.

AJAX -- An Ajax woman was killed when she was struck by a vehicle on a rainy Wednesday night, police said. The 54-year-old woman was struck by a BMW being driven north on Harwood Avenue near Hunt Street at about 10 p.m. Oct. 13. The woman was rushed to hospital in Ajax but suc- cumbed to her injuries, police said. Her identi- ty is being withheld at the request of her family. The driver of the BMW, a 21-year-old Ajax man, wasn’t hurt. Police said it was raining heavily at the time of the col- lision. Officers closed the road for several hours to investigate and are still seeking witness- es. Call police at 905-579- 1520, extension 5226. Pedestrian killed in Ajax from page 1 It basically demands improvements to the Cana- dian Forces Members and Veterans Reestablishment and Compensation Act, also knows as the New Veterans Charter. The petition specif- ically asks the prime minis- ter and the minister of veter- ans affairs to address a num- ber of issues affecting veter- ans immediately. One of the biggest con- cerns listed in the petition is the lump-sum disability payment. It asks the govern- ment to restore the lifetime pain and suffering pension to all Canadian Forces veter- ans, and to end recent claw- backs to veterans’ disability pensions. “It is fundamentally un- Canadian to claw back a pension on the older gener- ation when the newer gen- eration is, for this very rea- son, exempt from this finan- cial hardship,” the petition states. To current officer Wayne Johnson, president and founder of The Wounded Warriors Fund, a number of items have to be addressed, but the lump-sum issue is one of the biggest. “We’ve got to stop looking at it as if it were an insurance settlement,” he said. He’s in favour of monthly payments instead. “The monthly payment gives them security and dig- nity for the rest of their lives,” he said. While all the issues can’t be tackled at once, Mr. Johnson said it’s important the ball starts rolling somewhere. “It’s important we keep politicians engaged on this subject,” he said. “We need to keep this momentum going.” The petition also requests an end to the widow’s tax on disability pensions and one- time lump-sum payments. “Our fallen heroes’ fami- lies have enough grief to deal with without the added taxa- tion of an award that should be tax free,” it states. It also calls for an end to the reduction of veteran’s military pensions at the age of 65. Mr. McTeague said he’s honoured to stand up and “to make sure that no veter- an is left without.” Ms. Hetherman said thou- sands of people have signed the petition thus far. “We’re really getting amaz- ing response out of this,” she said. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 15, 20104 P As your Mayor, I am continuing my effort to preserve and keep Pickering beautiful.

I’ve never seen that happen in real life other than after the 9/11 attacks in the United States. At the time, I was a univer- sity student and I remember the student centre being packed with people around a TV one of the clubs had wheeled out into the common area. But I got the sense that’s exactly what happened online when just after midnight early Wednesday morning the first of the Chilean miners got rescued. I’d logged onto Twitter and almost all the messages popping up on my feed were related to it. There was a sense of excite- ment and happiness that would go on for almost an entire day as people around the world watched the dramatic rescue. While I’m sure there were places where people huddled around a televisions to watch, many others closer to home were instead glued to their computer screens. In one window we could watch the live stream of the rescue and then easily pop another window open to share a comment with friends on Facebook or via Twitter or to fire off a message on MSN. For those of us in the GTA, the drama started unfolding while many of us were already wearing our PJs and ready for bed, so the fact that we could share this moment with so many others was because of the presence of technology in our lives. As the rescues continued throughout Wednesday, people continued to be rivet- ed. The majority of trending topics on Twit- ter were related to the miners and many of my friends posted Facebook messages and status updates reflecting on what was hap- pening. The comments ran the gamut. Some peo- ple posted about shedding tears watch- ing the family reunions, particularly when the miners embraced their children. Oth- ers called the rescue miraculous and said it affirmed their belief in a higher power. There was also a touch of gossip, when a miner who was known to have both a wife and a mistress was ready to exit, Tweeters speculated on who would greet him. But the truly amazing thing about this particular story is that it had a happy end- ing and that happy glow seemed to spread online, banishing some of the pettiness, bravado and the political sniping that’s typical of daily online discourse. I’m not sure I can think of a single news event that drew similar amounts of worldwide atten- tion that wasn’t depicting a tragedy. When it comes down to it, I can’t really explain why a billion people around the world were so enthralled by the rescue of 33 Chilean miners. Perhaps it’s because we can’t resist tri- umphs of the human spirit or perhaps it’s because it was proof that when people work together we can achieve the amaz- ing. Whatever it is, the fact that we could experience it together is a beautiful thing. -- Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Friday in this space. Contact her on Facebook, Twitter (@rszekely) or e-mail at rszekely@durhamregion.com Think of little Libby and give blood in Durham Reka Szekely Chilean miner rescue glued us to our computer screens Libby Johns was just two years old in 2009 when a blood donation saved her life. The Durham Region toddler had just been diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia and required a series of complex medical proce- dures, including chemotherapy, lum- bar punctures and bone marrow pro- cedures at the Hospital for Sick Chil- dren in Toronto. While undergoing these treatments, she received three blood transfusions and five platelet transfusions. Literally, through the kindness of strangers who took the time to roll up their sleeves and donate to Canadi- an Blood Services, Libby’s leukemia is now in remission and she’s a typically busy and active three year old. To celebrate her progress and to acknowledge the benefits of blood donations, Libby’s parents, Megan and Robin, are organizing a blood donor clinic this Saturday at Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences in Whitby and hope others make the choice to give a little of themselves to potentially help dozens of Libbys. The Johns family can breathe easier now that their beloved daughter con- tinues her return to health and her leu- kemia remains in remission, but they are also keenly aware of how quickly the need for blood can arise. Whether through disease, misadven- ture or scheduled medical surgeries, a stable supply of blood and blood prod- ucts is a vital need in Durham Region’s communities, and it’s often needed quickly to provide emergency care. And, as Canadian Blood Services community development co-ordi- nator Melissa Smith-McGuire points out, “giving blood is one of the easiest things to do.” She’s absolutely correct: it only takes an hour and each dona- tion has the potential to save up to three lives. There may be a little girl like Libby in your life. You may know someone recovering from surgery who benefit- ed from a blood donation, or you may have suffered an injury requiring a transfusion. If one hour out of your life could add even one year to another’s, wouldn’t that be a fair exchange? Think of Libby this Saturday. Think of the senior struggling with cancer, or the young motor accident victim. Give a little of yourself at the upcom- ing donor clinic. The event is being held at Confer- ence Place D and E at Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, 700 Gordon St. in Whitby from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 15, 20107 AP HEALTH Couple promotes importance of blood donations Blood donor clinic will be held at Ontario Shores facility Oct. 16 PARVANEH PESSIAN ppessian@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- When Libby Johns was diagnosed with acute lympho- cytic leukemia in June 2009, her parents had no idea what type of treatment was out there for her. At that point, the disease had spread to 90 per cent of the two- year-old’s bone marrow and Megan and Robin were told there would be a long road ahead of them. “It was a shock at first and then came a lot of learning,” said Ms. Johns of Whitby, who watched with her husband as Libby under- went surgery to insert a port-a- catheter in her chest, as well as multiple chemotherapy treat- ments, lumbar punctures and bone marrow aspirates. During her stay at the Hospi- tal for Sick Children in Toronto, Libby received three blood trans- fusions and five platelet transfu- sions. “The blood she received when she was first diagnosed and throughout her treatment really saved her life so it was important to us to find a way to give back,” said Ms. Johns, adding the expe- rience helped raise their aware- ness about how quickly the need for blood could strike. The couple is holding a blood donor clinic at Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sci- ences in Whitby this weekend in honour of Libby, who is now in remission at age three, and other children in need across the region. “She’s just your typical three- year-old running around and tak- ing dance classes and swimming lessons now,” said Ms. Johns of Libby, who will continue with chemotherapy treatments until next year to ensure the leukemia is eradicated. The need for blood is crucial in every community, according to Melissa Smith-McGuire, com- munity development coordinator for Canadian Blood Services. “Patients depend on the gen- erosity of donors for the blood they need for life-saving surgery, cancer treatments, traumas and other medical needs,” she said. “Giving blood is one of the easi- est things to do -- it only takes an hour of your time and each dona- tion can save up to three lives.” The blood donor clinic will be open in Conference Place D and E at Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, 700 Gor- don St. in Whitby on Saturday, Oct. 16 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. CALL 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888- 236-6283) VISIT: www.blood.ca.

Calendar durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 15, 201014 AP JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Dozens of Durham Region charities have their eyes on a $1 million prize -- and local residents can help them grab it. For the second year, Canadian insur- ance company Aviva is challenging peo- ple across the country to submit ideas for projects that could improve their commu- nity. Online voting will help narrow down the prospects between now and Decem- ber. Hearth Place Cancer Support Centre is one of about a dozen local charities and community groups in the running. Executive director Andrea Shaw says they’re hoping to secure $78,000 to help expand programs for children and young families dealing with cancer. “For us it’s all we can do to keep the status quo with the fundraising we do,” she says, noting the centre gets no government sup- port. “In order to do extras and new stuff we need new sources of funding. We’re real- ly excited about being in the contest, we’re hoping we get a lot of votes.” If they win, Ms. Shaw says the money will be used for group and individual therapy programs for children with cancer, help for young parents between the ages of 25 and 40 who have been diagnosed with cancer, tutoring for young cancer patients missing a lot of school and in-home art, music and play therapy for young cancer patients who can’t leave the house due to compromised immune systems. The Humane Society of Durham Region is another local group vying for the cash. After a devastating fire destroyed the shel- ter in December 2008, the group has been working intently to raise enough money to build a new facility. The Phoenix Rising campaign has gen- erated a lot of community support and the new shelter is expected to open in Whitby in December. But, they’re still about $500,000 short. “We’re hoping to get as much of the build- ing paid off as we can, before we move in, if we got this money, it would help so much,” said shelter manager Ruby Richards. “It doesn’t cost anything for people to go online a vote for us. They can even vote a few times if they have more than one e-mail address.” The first round of online voting is open now and ideas can be submitted until Nov. 26. Then 90 semi-finalists are chosen and another round of online voting runs from Dec. 2 to Dec. 15. Thirty finalists are scrutinized by a panel of judges and winners are announced Jan. 25. There are dozens of other Durham groups’ ideas jockeying for support including the Ajax Soccer Club’s plan to build an indoor soccer facility, Kidzart, a group that encour- ages children's artistic abilities, a group working to build a skate park in Caesarea, and Renewed Strength, a charity that pro- vides strength and mobility classes for can- cer patients.

JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND WHITBY -- Ruby Richards, with Bron, in front of the new Humane Society building under construction in Whitby, is hoping to win funds from the Aviva Community Fund contest to help with the project. Durham charities, community groups in the running for $1 million Finance minister confirms deficit keeps growing LES WHITTINGTON newsroom@durhamregion.com MISSISSAUGA -- The eco- nomic recovery is on track despite Ottawa’s two-year, $101 billion budget deficit and an unacceptably high jobless rate, Finance Minis- ter Jim Flaherty insists. In his annual fall update, Mr. Flaherty stuck to his conviction that the Conser- vatives’ massive economic bailout plan has brought the Canadian economy back to life. But his message was nota- ble for its cautious tone and Mr. Flaherty’s acknowledg- ment that the impact of the 2008-09 recession will be felt for a long time. He admitted the country’s jobless rate of eight per cent remains unacceptable. But he said the Conservatives’ two-year, $48 billion stim- ulus plan will continue to pump money into the econ- omy for another five months to help “preserve and create jobs.” And, for the first time, Mr. Flaherty said explicitly he might have to back away from his often-expressed desire to slam the door on Ottawa’s special, pro- growth stimulus spending next March 31. “We don’t expect the need to do more stimulus. We’re on track (to return to eco- nomic growth),” he said. “But there’s a high degree of uncertainty.” He said the government will keep an eye on devel- opments and be ready to act “if it’s necessary to do more later on if the economy dete- riorates.” Buried in the package of fiscal and economic data was the revelation that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government ran up a record $55.6 billion budget deficit in the last (2009-10) fiscal year. It had been forecast at $53.8 billion but rose owing to payments to Ontario and British Columbia arising from the introduction of the HST tax in those provinces, officials said. For the current (2010-11) fiscal year, Mr. Flaherty proj- ects a $45.4 billion deficit, leading to a combined, two- year deficit of $101 billion. Assuming Ottawa’s stimu- lus spending ends in March, federal deficits will begin to decline markedly next year. The forecast for 2011-12 is for a $29.8 billion deficit. That’s still huge by historical standards. It’s in the same ballpark as the infamous $38 billion deficit left by Brian Mulroney’s Progres- sive Conservatives when they lost power in 1993. Mr. Flaherty acknowl- edged it will be five years before Harper’s government can dig its way out of the budget mess. The finance department is now looking ahead to a $2.6 billion sur- plus, but not until 2015-16. Despite the Conservatives’ unprecedented economic support plan over the past two years, prospects for the Canadian economy remain iffy, the government said. The government said ana- lysts forecast Canada’s eco- nomic growth this year will come in at three per cent, lower than the June forecast of 3.5 per cent. And growth in 2011 will reach only 2.5 per cent, followed by 2.8 per cent in 2012. Both forecasts are below previous expectations and well below the average expansion of nearly 3.5 per cent annually recorded in Canada in the late 1990s and early 2000s. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 15, 201016 AP 905-683-0407 WE BUY GOLD Old Ajax Plaza on Harwood Next to Home Hardware CHEF TOMMY’S ONCHEF TOMMY’S ON BAYLYBAYLY Restaurant & BanquetRestaurant & Banquet Seniors Day!Seniors Day! 65 & Over65 & Over Every Tuesday, All Day Every Tuesday, All Day At Chef Tommy’s 325 Westney Rd.

These tasks are made much easier with the right tools. Depending on individual skill level, many homeowners al- ready have basic tools on hand, such as hammers and screw- drivers. Others may have a more extensive collection of tools available for projects, such as saws, sanders and electric drills. For homeowners who don't have certain tools, there may be no need to purchase new ones for speciﬁ c projects. Many tools can be rented, such as ﬂ oor sanders, carpet cleaners, saws and others. Find out if items can be borrowed from friends or family members -- and whether they might want to help with certain tasks. Before any project is started, homeowners should take in- ventory of what they have and what they will need to com- plete a project. Taking shortcuts can lead to frustration and more money spent ﬁ xing mistakes. Make a list and have all of the gear available and ready for use. Here are some common projects and the tools that will be needed. • Gutter cleaning: Cooler weather means leaves and de- bris will collect in gutters and downspouts. A sturdy ladder, gloves, garden hose, small shovel, and bucket will be needed to clear out the debris. Be sure the ladder is placed so that it is on level ground. • Cleaning siding: A rented power washer can make quick work of cleaning grimy siding and hard-to-reach windows. • Landscape clean-up: Now may be the time to pull out withered plants and put away lawn furniture. Many home- owners like to prune shrubs and trees before the cold weather sets in. A hedge trimmer can quickly shape shrubbery. An auger can help dig up dead annuals and clean out planting beds. Rent a wood chipper to make mulch out of felled tree branches. • Painting: When cooler weather arrives, homeowners tend to look inside for projects. Painting is a popular way to spruce up rooms with little ﬁ nancial investment. Rollers, brushes, paint trays, masking tape, edgers, and drop cloths will be needed for the task. • Flooring: Perhaps installing a new ﬂ oor is on the to-do list. Many laminate and vinyl products make it easy for hom- eowners to do the work themselves. A more extensive proj- ect, such as installation of tile or hardwood, can be done by a contractor. Flooring needs may require a power saw or razor for cutting the ﬂ ooring -- depending on the material. Other tools include adhesive, spacers, measuring tape, knee pads, eye protection, and clean-up materials.

And that means Mark Woitzik is in trouble. Self-service stations pres- ent an insurmountable challenge for the quadriple- gic, who drives a specially adapted vehicle, since he can’t pump his own gas. So, he gets his wife, father or a friend to go get gas with him, or he drives farther afield trying to find a full- service station. They’re dis- appearing all over, as costs get cut in a competitive price war. This is a serious setback for a person who savours independence and has fought for the past 20 years to overcome the devasta- tion of a frosh week acci- dent. Mr. Woitzik has com- pleted university, earned his law degree and estab- lished a small legal practice in Whitby since his spinal injury. “You overcome obstacles to achieve independence and then you see things, beyond your control, take it away,” says Mr. Woitzik, 37. “It’s frustrating for me. But it must be devastat- ing to those without a sup- port system. This is not just about me.” Whitby Mayor Pat Perkins tried to fight for full service in her town’s gas stations only to find the municipali- ty doesn’t have the power to force this issue under Plan- ning Act or Building Code rules. She’s asked the Province to consider empowering the municipalities on this matter. As Ontario’s lieutenant- governor, David Onley now has a driver -- he had polio as a child - but is also very sympathetic to Mr. Woitzik’s cause. “I drove a specially-adapt- ed vehicle with hand con- trols, and I always looked for a full-service gas sta- tion,” says Mr. Onley. “Over time, there were fewer and fewer.” Getting in and out of a vehicle, operating the pump controls and holding the handle of a gas hose for minutes is a challenge for people with mobility issues, says Mr. Onley, adding that 15.5 per cent of the popula- tion has a disability. As Ontario’s population ages, the number of peo- ple with mobility issues will continue to increase, he says, and smart compa- nies will include service for these customers. Disability rights activis Suncor spokesman Michael Southern says “it is true that in many communi- ties across our network the number of full-service sta- tions is decreasing.” He suggests drivers go to Petro-Canada’s website to find stations that offer both self-service and full-service. While there are none in Whitby, he says the compa- ny runs full-service Suno- co stations in Bowmanville and Oshawa, and another full-service Petro-Canada station in Scarborough. He also suggests driv- ers with physical needs call their local station directly to arrange a time when they can get their tank filled. They need to do this in advance because an atten- dant is not allowed to leave the cash register if they are working alone, and there must be arrangements made for a second atten- dant. Jeff Gabert, spokesman for Shell Canada, also directed drivers with disabilities to www.shell.ca to locate full- service stations (there are 20 in the GTA), as well as find the phone numbers of local stations. He also sug- gested phoning ahead to make arrangements. But an angry Mr. Woitzik isn’t convinced. “It’s all about profitability,” he says. He recently had the humil- iating experience of getting glares from other motor- ists when his wife, dressed in fancy party clothes, filled the tank. “I could see them think- ing, ‘look at that idiot’,” says Mr. Woitzik. But now he doesn’t even have his wife to help out anymore. She recently broke her leg while playing baseball.

SUN., OCT 17TH, 2-4PM durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 15, 201020 AP Mike Ruta Entertainment Editor mruta@durhamregion.com durhamregion.comEntertainment ART SHOW AND SALE Ajax artist inspired on his travels Don Hightower displaying work at Ajax Creative Arts show and sale BY MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com AJAX -- As Johnny Cash sang, Don Hightower has been every- where, man. “I travel constantly,” he said when we caught up with him in advance of preparing for Ajax Creative Arts’ Fall Show and Sale, Oct. 15 to 17. Hightower was preparing to head to Florida for a cruise on the MS Oasis of the Seas, at 360 metres the world’s largest pas- senger ship. Earlier in the year he and a photographer friend flew to Los Angeles and then went on a road trip, hitting Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Death Valley and northern California as well as San Diego and Tijuana. Last year he was in Cuba and Texas, riding a long-horn steer in the latter. “Being retired, that’s what life’s all about,” he said. His trusty camera is a constant companion, recording people and places, some of which Hightower will turn into art. A restless spirit also infuses his choice of medium. Make that media. “I do watercolour, I do oil paint- ing, I do acrylic painting and I do pen-and-ink drawing,” he said, rhyming off a few others. “I’m the type of artist that if I see you doing something and I haven’t done it, I run out and get the stuff so I can.” Working mainly from photo- graphs doesn’t mean he tries to re-create what his camera has cap- tured. “I leave things out, I reposition things and I only do things that really interest me,” Hightower said. People, doorways, walkways and “out-of-the-ordinary things” are frequent subjects. Working after high school, he said he took art classes in the eve- nings and had serious ambitions to be a full-time artist. But after getting married he said reality set in. “It’s very difficult to earn a liv- ing,” he said of being a profes- sional artist. “If you have a wife and two children you’re certainly not going to be getting a regular pay cheque and a pension.” The longtime Ajax resident and ACA member has been president, vice-president and show convener at the club. Typically, Hightower participates in every workshop he’s able to at ACA. The club, based out of the Vil- lage Community Centre in Pickering Village, is fairly unique in Durham as artists can work there on Wednesdays and Thurs- days from noon to 4 p.m. and Thursdays from 6 to 10 p.m. Pro- spective members of any age are invited to “come in for two visits to see if they like it.” As well, the club doesn’t have a membership ceiling. Currently there are about 100 members. Call Hightower at 905-428-1391 if you’d like to learn more. He says he’ll be showing an oil painting and some acrylic works at the weekend show. Admission is free and there’s a free draw for an original work of art. JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND AJAX -- Don Hightower is taking part in Ajax Creative Arts’ fall show and sale Oct. 15 to 17 at the Village Community Centre in Ajax. Roughly 50 local artists are taking part and admission is free. MUSIC Get involved in music teachers’ group Students, educators can take part in recitals, workshops DURHAM -- Music teachers and students in Durham are invited to learn more about the Ontario Registered Music Teachers’ Association.

By Cecilia Amoranto - Grade 5 The jungle was hot, dangerous and teem- ing with deadly creatures but I couldn’t turn back now...I had to complete my quest. My head was throbbing and my body was weak. Yet my mind kept pushing me forward. I was determined. “Nothing can stop me now.” I felt a sud- den surge of confidence. I spoke too soon... Suddenly, I heard a gigantic roar! The roar sounded near and even worse...hungry! I sprinted but I could hear the animal catching up. My heart was racing. I couldn’t breathe. I held tightly to the handle of my pocket knife. I stopped for a moment to catch my breath. The roaring sound faded and it became quiet. Suddenly, I heard rustling from the tree- tops. I looked up and a pair of big, green eyes met mine. A huge figure jumped from the tree and landed gently on its paws. It growled as it emerged from the shadows. It was a tiger! I slowly backed away. “I mean no harm,” I mumbled. I gripped my pocket knife just in case. “Why do you have a weapon?” “I’m here on a quest. I’m looking for a healing potion,” I answered, trying not to seem surprised about a talking tiger. “I can’t let you,” it snarled. “I protect it. The potion you are looking for is also its life source. Without it, the environment will not be balanced. Pants will die, there will be flooding, and the sun will give such scorch- ing heat that animals will die. Why do you need it?” the tiger questioned. “Please, your life source is very powerful. My little sister is ill, and just a drop of it will heal her,” I explained. “I sense no evil in you. I will let you through. Here, take this bottle to store the potion when you get to the healing river. Good luck!” he said. I finally reached the jun- gle’s life source, the healing river, and scooped up some of the potion in my bottle. It gleamed in the light. “This is too easy,” I scoffed. Suddenly, crawling up my shoulder was a deadly scorpion. He was ready to attack me. “Stop! Let her go!” a voice demanded. The scorpion obeyed. The river took the form of a beautiful lady. “Well done. Your love and determination got you here. Now hurry up and take the potion back to your sister!” “How did you know?” I asked, but sudden- ly I was home. My mom was waiting with a worried face. My sister was pale and bare- ly breathing. I carefully dropped the potion into her dry mouth. I held her hand and closed my eyes. After a while, I felt her hand squeezing mine. I opened my eyes and she was smiling. “Thank you. How did you do it?” she asked. “It’s a long story,” I said. Then I began... “The jungle was hot, dangerous and teem- ing with deadly creatures, but I couldn’t turn back...I had to complete my quest...”durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 15, 201021 AP Friday, October 15, 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.

By Tianna Gomes Grades 7 and 8 winner The jungle was hot, dangerous and teem- ing with deadly creatures but I couldn’t turn back now...I had to complete my quest. After all, I was already halfway through the jungle and frankly, I am too lazy to walk all the way back. I am only in this jungle because my sister got lost. Now I have to try and find Millie. So far all I’ve seen is a coconut tree in the shape of half a heart and a hug hole in the ground...but no sister. I don’t even have a clue where to look. Suddenly I hear a shriek. OK, there’s a clue. It’s coming from behind a huge bush. I gently squeeze the flesh-tearing bush. I am surrounded by a bunch of people with war paint and loin cloths! I could try to run but risk getting shish kabobed by their spears. And there in the middle of this really friendly group...is my sister. She is tied to a tree so I am pretty sure she got the same welcome greeting. These people don’t speak English but once I heard the words “roast” and “shish-kabob” and “eat,” that was enough motivation for me. They had invited us to dinner...but we were the main course! I grab one of the spears and charge through the crowd. The whole clan is chasing me but I’m fast. I reach Millie just in time and cut her loose. We run as fast as we can but I for- got one small detail. We are lost. I think back to some of the landmarks I saw while getting lost earlier. Finally, I see a coconut tree in the shape of half a heart. There’s the hole in the ground. We start to go around it and then I tell Millie to get some big leaves and branches. We lay them over the hole and hide in a nearby bush... another flesh-ripping bush! The natives arrive and some of them look scared. That doesn’t make sense...we are the ones being chased! They approach our trap...and then they all tumble in! We feel we are safe and breathe a sigh of relief. But then we see a huge black jaguar looking down into the hole, licking his lips. The people had not been chasing us...they were running for their own lives from this hungry jaguar! We can’t outrun the big cat. I am fast, but not that fast. Only one thing left to do. We jump into the hole ourselves. I turn fearfully to find not angry people, but relieved peo- ple. “Thank you,” says the tribe leader. “You saved us from the beast.” The jaguar finally leaves, hopefully to become a vegetarian (I can hope, can’t I?). The leader and his tribe are very grateful and invite us to dinner. Hmmm, isn’t that where it all started...with us being on the menu? I decline respectfully and we go our separate ways. Thankfully we all get to live and expe- rience another adventure.durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 15, 201022 AP D]bSA[O`bWaO\]\^O`bWaO\^`]XSQbb]VSZ^W\T]`[d]bS`aOP]cbbVSdWSea]T[c\WQW^OZ QO\RWRObSa]\YSgWaacSabVObOTTSQb]c`Q][[c\WbWSa_cOZWbg]TZWTSO\RS\dW`]\[S\b =<;=<2/G=1B=03@ #B6 0CBE6/BE7:: B63G16==A3- d]bSa[O`b QO G=CE7::16==A3 G=C@;/G=@ /<21=C<17: 47<2=CB 905-472-3085 HERONGATE DINNER THEATRE 2885 Altona Rd., Pickering More Savings at herongate.com.

Currently, Team China is touring Ontario gaining experience by playing many of the teams in the Provincial Wom- en’s Hockey League, as they did last year in preparation for the Vancouver Olym- pics. Durham was missing two key play- ers, Marissa Maugeri and Megan Simp- son who were both attending the OWHA’s second round U18 Team Ontario Try- out Camp in Toronto, so several Midget AA players were called into duty for the game. Durham got into some penalty trouble early in the game but weathered the storm and held China off the board, finishing the first period scoreless. Chantal Bicket faced 16 shots in her half of the game and picked up her fourth shutout appearance of the season. She left at the halfway mark of the game with Durham up 1-0 and was replaced by Jackie Rochefort. Durham’s only blemish came in the second period when China capitalized on a turnover in the neutral zone. China, who was killing a penalty at the time, was able to walk in and pop in a shorthanded goal. Durham turned it up another notch in the third period and put on a spectacular showcase, demonstrating their passing ability, speed and goal-scoring touch to close the game with a 6-1 victory. There were some notable highlights such as the breakaway goals by Shannon Stewart and Shanelle Doucette (one of the midget call-ups). The shot total was 21 by Durham and 24 by China. The Lightning resume regular season PWHL play on Oct. 16 with an away game against the Southwest Junior Wildcats. SOCCER Best in the country Ajax Strikers, Pickering Power U16 teams win national soccer titles BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The two best U16 soccer teams in the country are separated by just two things: a few kilometres and gender. Both the Pickering and Ajax soccer asso- ciations have national championship teams residing within their ranks, with the Pickering Power U16 girls and the Ajax Strikers U16 boys winning their respective Canadian titles at the BMO National Championships held in Vaughan. Both teams put in dominating performanc- es in the final, with Pickering beating the Montreal Extreme 4-1 in the championship game, while Ajax handled the FC Northwest Lions from Manitoba 3-1 in their final. Despite the tournament being so close to home, Pickering head coach Paul Deabreu said his team treated it like an out-of-town venture, using fundraising money to spend five days in a hotel. The plan brought the team closer together, posting wins of 8-0 over West Prince Storm (PEI), 7-0 over St. John’s Capital Hyundai (NL) and 3-1 over Eastside Eagles (Sask.) in the round robin to secure a spot in the semifinal against Blizzard Threat from Alberta. “We knew that would be our fiercest com- petition,” said Deabreu of the semi. “It was sad. We ended up playing each other in what should have been the final game.” As expected the game was close, with Pickering coming out ahead 3-2, booking a spot in the final against the Quebec rep- resentative. That contest against Montreal Extreme was anti-climactic, said Deabreu. “Quebec really wasn’t in our class. They played well, but they just weren’t in our class,” he said, labelling the opponent as “classless” for some of their style of play and on-field antics. “I scouted Quebec and I didn’t see much. I knew going into the final that we should win. “We set a goal a year ago when I took this team over and this is what we were after. As a coach you set high goals but you don’t know if it’s going to happen. You work hard to get it accomplished and the girls were superb. A class act. They trained hard and worked hard.” The team didn’t lose a game in Canada, and lost just three during the season, all coming in the United States. Ajax had to prove they were the best team twice on the boys’ side, having to play a tough team from Manitoba a couple of times before securing the national title. “It was just a fantastic day. Better than you could envision,” said head coach Dario Gasparotto of winning it all. “This is my ninth season coaching the team, so I’ve had some of them since they were seven and eight. There’s a lot of satisfaction. It was real- ly good.” Ajax opened the round robin with convinc- ing wins of 9-0 over the Yukon Strikers SC and 6-1 over New Brunswick. The third game, an eventual preview of the final, ended in a scoreless draw against FC Northwest Lions, with Ajax forced to play a player short after being issued a red card in the 39th minute. The semifinal produced a 3-0 blanking of Lakeshore (Que.), followed by a 3-1 win over the FC Northwest Lions in the final. Gaspa- rotto credited a scouting job by club head coach Tony La Ferrara and the execution of the game plan by his players for the victory. “It was one of the easiest games to coach,” said Gasparotto. “Normally I’m up on my feet and giving instructions. But they were doing everything right and I just sat back and enjoyed it.” The win will give the team momentum heading into a couple of showcase tour- naments in New Jersey in November and another in Florida in December that attracts countless scouts and college recruiters. “That’s what we’re all about now,” said Gasparotto of moving players to the next level. “Winning trophies is nice, but trying to get these kids in a position where they can take advantage of their soccer and help pay for their university, that’s what it’s all about.” SUBMITTED PHOTOS DURHAM -- The Pickering Power (top) and Ajax Strikers U16 teams won the BMO National Soccer Championships for their respective divisions. HOCKEY Oshawa Generals fall from rankings OSHAWA -- The Oshawa Generals’ first foray into the Canadian Hockey League top-10 rankings didn’t last long. After vaulting all the way up from hon- ourable mention to No. 2 in the country, a winless long weekend has put the Gener- als back into the honourable mention cat- egory for Week 4 of the rankings. The Generals have a chance to move back onto the list with a strong weekend, as they have home games Friday against Sarnia (7:35 p.m.) and Sunday against Saginaw (6:05 p.m.), with a road date against Niagara in between. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 15, 201025 AP ONTARIO JUNIOR HOCKEY LEAGUE Panthers continue to struggle to find their way Pickering coach John Goodwin shoulders blame SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- John Good- win is the first to admit that his return to the coach- ing ranks hasn’t gone as planned. And as a seasoned hock- ey man, he knows things aren’t likely to get any easi- er as his Pickering Panthers look ahead following a 2-12- 0 start to the Ontario Junior Hockey League season. To that, Goodwin, who returned to the coaching ranks with the Panthers just prior to training camp this past summer, said he can feel the temperature ris- ing on the hot seat as the gap between their last place standing and those ahead of them in a tough East Divi- sion continues to widen. And as most leaders do, Goodwin said he’ll shoulder his fair share of the blame for his team having just won twice in 14 games. “We’re not playing good hockey and we’re not playing smart hockey, we’re not play- ing disciplined hockey and we’re not playing hard hock- ey,” he said following Tues- day’s loss in Peterborough. “We kind of deserve what we get right now and as a coach I’ve got to take full responsi- bility for that because I am putting the product (on the ice). What we work on Tues- days, Wednesdays, Thurs- days, we’re not taking that to the games. As a coach I have to take responsibility for that.” Though hopeful of a turn- around, Goodwin is realistic, noting his club, in addition to the need to get healthy, has much to work on before they can be considered to be a tough team to play against. From their focus to their ability to execute on the ice, everything needs improve- ment. “We’re fragile right now. All we can do is keep going to work, keep the shots down, keep the scoring chances down, not give up the odd man rushes and get our power play a bit better,” he said. Getting an immediate start on addressing those elements won’t be easy as the Panthers take to the ice tonight (7:30 p.m.) at home against the Cobourg Cougars, who not long ago dwelled at the bottom of the standings much like the cur- rent Panthers outfit. But many changes to the roster and patience within management among other things has allowed the Cou- gars to vault into contention this season. They currently sit in a three-way tie for third place in the division with Lindsay and Peterborough, just behind second-place Whitby and top running Wellington. Meanwhile, with many of his top players in a recent struggle to find the net -- the Panthers have scored just nine goals in their last five games since beating Peter- borough Oct. 1 -- and inju- ries adding to the problem, Goodwin said his patience at this point will be a key. “You’ve just got to hope they play their way out of it,” he said. In the wake of injuries to forwards Jonny Simone and Brett Gustavsen among oth- ers and a need to inject some fire into a floundering team, the Panthers made a trio of roster moves late last week, cutting one player and bring- ing two more into the fold. Out is backup goalie Jared Allen, who Goodwin com- mended for doing every- thing asked of him in his role as Adam Stein’s back- up. Allan, though, was mak- ing the jump from midget AA last season and wasn’t quite prepared for the level of play at the junior level. In is forward Justin Hulshof, acquired in a trade with Stouffville, and goaltender Ryan Carlisle, scooped up in a trade with Wellington. Goodwin said Carlisle will get a good amount of time in the Panthers goal and is hopeful that the Tavistock native, who had a .904 save percentage in 12 games with Wellington last year, will pro- vide some healthy competi- tion for Stein. “We needed somebody to give Adam a rest and also challenge for that spot. We think he’s a good addition,” Goodwin said.
