The 18,600 acres of federal lands designated for a possible airport were expropriated by the government in 1972, and no decision has yet been made on the fate of the area.

Inside the large gymnasium at Trafalgar Castle School, tucked away just outside of Whitby’s downtown core, parents, grand- parents and fellow students press against the makeshift rope barrier separating them from the robotic row in the centre of the ring. Referees with clipboards watch the contest just a few steps away from the fields of play, where two identical boards are placed back- to-back and pit students from opposing ele- mentary schools against each other. But in this battle, the fourth annual Dur- ham Regional LEGO League competition held on Nov. 27, the students are competing more amongst themselves than against their peers from other schools. Side-by-side, the students are working to complete a series of challenges on their own field of play, tasked with manoeuvring a robot they created and programmed themselves. Sponsored by Ontario Power Generation, the tournament allows teams of students from grades 5 to 8 to explore an actual prob- lem that today’s scientists and engineers are attempting to solve. They are then chal- lenged to develop innovative solutions for it, either by creating something that doesn’t exist or building upon something that does, and then sharing their findings. “There are a lot of kids who may not be ath- letic or who can’t sing, but we can find a job for them on the LEGO team,” said Bill Holt- by, a former General Motors engineer who now spends his time mentoring Scugog stu- dents involved with FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) projects. “These are all skills that the kids will need throughout their life -- unless they’re going to be self-sufficient and reclusive, they’re going to need to know how to work as a team,” continued Mr. Holtby. “By learning to work together, they figure out that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.” This year’s LEGO challenge theme is Body Forward and for weeks, students from all over the region have been building, pro- gramming and researching solutions to dis- cover innovative ways to repair injuries, over- come genetic predispositions and maximize the body’s potential. Using these concepts, teams have built and programmed an autonomous robot using LEGO Mindstorms technology to carry out such tasks as putting a stint in an artery, col- lecting a syringe, putting a cast on a broken bone and applying a pacemaker to a heart. The challenge is to send the programmed motorized LEGO robot across the board to complete as many of the tasks as possible in a span of just 2.5 minutes. It’s during the matches that the music -- and intensity -- is cranked up in the gym. Supporters balance clapping and cheering with shooting still photographs or video of the competition. Curious contestants, some draped in white, knee-length lab coats, keep a close eye on their challengers while other groups work furiously on the sidelines, bet- tering their robots. “The competitions are the best,” offered Cienna Ardellini, a Grade 7 student from Trafalgar Castle School. “You get to see your robot come to life, to see what it can do in a competition, and you get to meet other teams and schools and see what they’ve come up with.” But the program not only serves to immerse students in the world of science and engi- neering, it also helps those who may prefer the shadows to the spotlight. When she was in Grade 6, Jennifer-Ann Morris says she was “the quietest person in the room.” Now in Grade 9 at Trafalgar Castle School, she credits her involvement with the first LEGO League as a key cog in her social development. “It definitely helps with self-growth and you feel more confident and it helps grow your engineering skills,” said Jennifer-Ann, a well- spoken 14 year old who now mentors mem- bers of both Trafalgar’s elementary LEGO teams. “The students really enjoy it; for some of them it’s the first time they’ve ever been on a team. They get to meet new people and discover new things,” she said. “For some of them, this is where they say, ‘I finally fit into something’.” For participants and organizers, the com- bination of LEGO and science is a winning formula. “I like researching and playing with LEGO and (the tournament) is a great experi- ence because I like science and computers,” said Osas Omonoyan, a Grade 6 student at E.A. Fairman Public School, one of 16 schools taking part in the competition. Winners of the tournament will move on to compete at the Ontario championships held at UOIT in Oshawa in January. Students use LEGO to solve age-old problems JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND WHITBY -- Erika Kohek and Brady Doyle, calling their team Grinding Gears, from Prince Albert Public School, competed in the finals of the LEGO League at Trafalgar Castle School on Nov. 27, with teams from across Durham taking part. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 1, 20103 AP We’ll wrap your gifts with flair.

Dunbarton High locked down as precaution after home invasion KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A lockdown at Dunbarton High School was lifted at around 2:30 p.m. Monday after police arrested two suspects at a nearby residence linked to a home invasion. Just after 12:30 p.m. Monday, Durham police were called to a residence in the Rossland Road West and Valley Farm Road area regarding a violent home inva- sion. Police said several unknown male suspects broke into a basement apartment in a home, threatened two people and stole some electronics before fleeing the scene. One suspect had a handgun, but no serious injuries were reported, police said. Information led police to a residence on Sheppard Avenue near Whites Road, where some of the suspects were believed to be. Due to the close proximity to the high school, located in the area of Whites Road and Sheppard Avenue, Dunbarton was locked down as a safety precaution at around 1 p.m. Police set up a command post at Dunbarton, and the tactical support unit was called in to assist. A male and female associated with the nearby residence were arrested without incident at around 2 p.m., police said. After police searched the house, school was let out at around 2:30 p.m. “We were in lockdown for like an hour,” said Hay- ley Graber, a Grade 10 student, as she watched police investigate on the north side of Sheppard Avenue, across the street from the school. Her friend Mary Sherban said it was a little tense when an announcement was made that the school was in lockdown, and that all curtains were to be closed, all lights turned off, and students were not allowed in or out of the premises. She said a number of students were text messaging their parents to let them know they were all right. “It was more like suspense,” she said. Farid Sheik, whose daughter is in Grade 9, came to the school after his daughter’s friend text messaged him about the situation. “I’m worried. My wife is worried,” he said outside of the school before the lockdown was lifted. He said he was glad to hear his daughter was safe, but he felt compelled to attend the school for himself. He added other than the Monday incident, the school has seemed to be a safe environment. The investigation is ongoing. POLICE Lockdown lifted at Pickering school DURHAM -- Concerned citizens helped Durham police officers nab a number of suspected drunk drivers, as 21 more people were charged with impaired driv- ing during the second week of the annu- al Festive RIDE campaign. While officers working at RIDE stops laid 14 drunk driving charges, another seven came as a result of tips from the public, police said Monday. The two-week total for the annual RIDE campaign now stands at 42 impaired charges, an increase of four charges over the same period last year. The 21 new charges came a week after Durham police Chief Mike Ewles expressed shock at the high number of charges laid during the first week of the campaign. Right now, Durham cops are on pace to surpass last year’s total of 122 impaired charges. Last week, officers set up check points throughout the region, stopping 1,782 vehicles and administering 110 roadside breath tests. In addition to the impaired charges, there were 19 drivers who received three- day suspensions for registering warning readings, while 11 G1 or G2 drivers were found to have breached their no-alcohol licence restrictions. The Festive RIDE campaign will con- tinue throughout the holiday season.

R.S. McLaughlin Regional Cancer Centre has cut radiation wait times in Durham JOSEPH HALL newsroom@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Ontario residents will be prompted, when their times comes, to be screened for various cancers under the Province’s new five-year plan to combat the disease. And anyone wishing to know their individual cancer risks will be able to access online questionnaires that can plot their relative chance of acquir- ing some of the most common forms of the disease. The new measures were released recently in Cancer Care Ontario’s $800-million 2011-2015 plan, which will also see several more specialized treatment centres built in the province. Over the past five years, new and expanded centres in Kitchener, Mis- sissauga, Oshawa and Newmarket have helped bring radiation wait times down to the point where 97 per cent of patients are receiving treatment within federally set time guidelines. And the new plan will incorporate new centres in Barrie, Niagara and Sault Ste. Marie. “We’re going to do a bunch of important things to advance cancer servic- es, building on what we’ve done to date,” says Terry Sullivan, president and CEO of the provincial group that oversees and coordinates Ontario cancer services. For one, the new plan will access the provincial health database and prompt anyone who hits 50 to schedule appropriate cancer screening. “As a man you would get an invitation to get screened for colon cancer over the age of 50,” Sullivan says. “And if you were a woman, it would be the same thing, you’d get it for colon but you’d also get it for breast.” The mailed-out reminders would be accompanied by electronic tracking to ensure positive tests were followed up with appropriate treatments. Mr. Sullivan says negative tests would also be tracked and everyone would be alerted about the results of their screening results. “They get that information directly from their GP anyway, but we want to make sure because we know sometimes that stuff goes astray,” Mr. Sullivan says. Patients successfully treated for cancers will also be reminded to do fol- low-up screening over the coming years. The plan will also give residents an electronic means to assess their own cancer risks and offer advice for appropriate medical responses to them. The plan will also set up a pilot system where patients and their physi- cians will be able to access information online about where they are in their diagnostic schedules. Suspected lung cancer patients, for example, would be able to access online where they were in terms of the litany of tests, like CT scans and sputum examinations they must undergo. -- Joseph Hall is the health reporter for the Toronto Star Page 6 - Today’s editorial HEALTH Ontarians to get personalized cancer screening durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 1, 20105 AP Safe kind enviroment Educational socially and developmentally Reliable affordable home-based child care Call today:1-866-333-3299 weewatch.com Find classic wardrobe solutions at our NEW location at PICKERING TOWN CENTRE 1355 Kingston Road | Upper Level, Entrance 5 Enter in-store for a chance to WIN a $250 TABI Wardrobe!

One of the boys, 17, was sent to intensive care after experiencing vom- iting and seizures, Durham police said. All three boys have recovered. “They’re all fine, but it was a close call,” said police spokesman Dave Selby. Police aren’t revealing exactly what substance the boys took, in order to pre- vent “copy-catting”, Mr. Selby said. “We’re concerned other kids might emulate this,” he said. “But we want the public to know this stuff could be dead- ly.” Durham officers called to a home in the Church Street and Kingston Road area just after 1 a.m. Saturday found paramed- ics working on the most seriously affect- ed of the boys, who suffered seizures and vomiting. Two other boys, both 18, were under the influence of the drug but were less adversely affected, police said. All three were treated at hospital. It appears the boys took the drug, which one of them had purchased over the Inter- net, at about 8:30 Friday evening. One of the boys called a friend later when things went wrong and that young person told a parent, who called 911, Mr. Selby said. The incident illustrates the dangers of buying and taking drugs advertised online, Mr. Selby said. “You don’t know what you’re getting,” he said.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Things are a little easier to bear for cancer patients in Durham Region these days. In the few short years since the R.S. McLaughlin Durham Regional Cancer Cen- tre opened in Oshawa, and similar centres opened in other Ontario communities, radi- ation wait times have decreased to the point where 97 per cent of patients are receiving treatment within federally set time guide- lines. Now the battle against the disease is poised to shift into another gear as Cancer Care Ontario recently released its $800-mil- lion 2011-2015 plan. Several more specialized treatment centres will be built in the province, but even more exciting is the role technology and the Inter- net will play in keeping Ontarians healthy. “We’re going to do a bunch of important things to advance cancer services, building on what we’ve done to date,” says Terry Sul- livan, president and CEO of the provincial group that oversees and coordinates Ontar- io cancer services. For one, the new plan will access the pro- vincial health database and prompt anyone who hits 50 to schedule appropriate cancer screening. Mailed-out reminders would be accom- panied by electronic tracking to ensure that positive tests were being followed up with appropriate treatments. It’s another milestone in the fight to eradi- cate a deadly disease that comes in many forms. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, in 2010 an estimated 28,200 people will die of cancer in Ontario, and 65,100 new cases will be diagnosed. Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Ontario, followed by breast cancer and col- orectal cancer, respectively. Patients successfully treated for can- cers will also be reminded to do follow-up screening over the coming years. The plan would also see a pilot system where patients and their physicians will be able to access information online about where they are in their diagnostic sched- ules. Further, anyone wishing to know their individual cancer risks will be able to access online questionnaires that can plot their rel- ative chance of acquiring some of the most common forms of the disease. Now that wait times have been reduced, the next level in the plan will be a welcome development for all Ontario residents, and in particular patients who are in the stress- ful stage of awaiting test results and wanting to know where they stand in the diagnostic sequence. As always, it will be up to individ- uals to become their own best health-care advocate and make use of the tools when they’re available. Meanwhile, Durham Region residents and organizations can be proud of the fundrais- ing efforts that went into making the Dur- ham Region cancer centre a reality. Many continue to raise critical funds each year for cancer research. Important work continues to be done, in Ontario and in our own community. New cancer plan holds promise for Durham patients durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 1, 20106 P Let them play hockey To the editor: Re: Pickering, family face off over hock- ey rink issue’, news, Nov. 25, 2010. Come on Pickering, where do you think the greatest hockey players come from? They certainly didn’t start in those controlled, safe hockey rinks that are built today. It was not that long ago that players did not even wear helmets or face masks. Is the City of Pickering afraid to get sued if someone gets hurt? Then I should stop cutting the grass on my boulevard, or stop keeping the side- walk clear during the winter months and let the City do it. Oh wait, they won’t do that. They will, however, fine me within 24 hours if I don’t keep everything clean and tidy. Come on, let the kids be kids and enjoy what is the greatest Canadian sport. Josee Caron Pickering Democratic decisions are subject to change To the editor: Re: ‘Durham must proceed with inciner- ator’, editorial, Nov. 24, 2010. You wrote: “To suggest that a new coun- cil would somehow provide more insight, or leadership, or alternatives to the proj- ect as approved is to disrespect voters who in 2006 elected the councillors who approved the project.” The vast majority of voters in 2010 are the same people who voted in 2006. Most Durham municipal campaigns in 2006 did not focus on incineration of garbage, and there was certainly no full debate before that election on its merits and dangers. Intervening years have provided vig- orous and rigorous information sharing about the quality of Durham’s current air- shed, the cost of incineration, the inter- national reputation of Covanta and the processes Durham regional staff used to inform the 2006 council about its options. And now the voters have spoken; in Clarington, the mayor and several coun- cillors who originally voted to allow their municipality to be a willing host to a gar- bage incinerator have been defeated by the voters. Such is the essence of democracy. Deci- sions are subject to change. Carolyn Wilson Oshawa New council should have been able to review incinerator contract To the editor: Re: ‘Durham must proceed with incinera- tor’, editorial, Nov. 24, 2010. You missed the point with your editori- al regarding the signing of the incinerator contract by Roger Anderson. The incinerator was for all intents and purposes not an issue during the 2006 election when the council that approved the plan was elected. By contrast, many councillors were removed from their seats in the recent elec- tion in large part due to their pro-incinera- tion stance. The new council is more reflective of the public’s views on incineration and should be given a chance, at the very least, to review the contract.

Is there a more loathsome phrase than ‘_____ shopping days until Christmas’? Of course we’ve no one to blame but ourselves for the commercial mess that Christmas has become. Well, truth be told, we could probably lay this one at the slippered feet of those stupid wise men. The invitation to the virgin birth- day party clearly said ‘No gifts please. Best wishes only’ ... but did you ever try and tell a know-it-all wise man what to do? So, anyway they went ahead and brought stuff and made everyone else feel like heels. The rest of us have been paying for it ever since. And what did these chuckleheads end up bringing, anyway? Gold, frankincense and some junk called myrrh. Hello? This is what you get when rich, out-of-touch old men buy things for new parents. When was the last time you were at a baby shower and heard ‘Ooooh! Frank- incense! Thank you. This will be so help- ful’? I mean who needs a silly baby mon- itor or diapers when you’ve got a case full of myrrh? I’ll tell you one thing, I bet Joseph was seriously bummed. I mean, the guy was a carpenter. He looks up from Mary’s side and sees these three very wealthy dudes approaching with camels strapped to the nines with all kinds of packages. He’s thinking ‘new miter saw’, maybe a laser level or even a spiffy two-and-a-half horse, fixed-base router. Sweet. A fella could crank out some pretty fine cabin- etry with that kind of hardware. Maybe a fella starts doing so well, he starts talk- ing ‘franchise’. Yeah, ‘Bethlehem Build- ing Supply -- If you don’t know ... ask Joe!’ That stuff had to be going through his head. But instead ... no tools, no gift certificates, not even a DVD boxed set. Gold, myrrh and frankincense. Cripes. And you have to know, if Mary hadn’t been so completely exhausted from a vir- gin birth, she would’ve given those wise guys a major earful. Who could blame her? She was lying there, in a manger, for crying out loud. If the wise-akers had gotten there a little earlier, instead of traipsing all over the Middle East try- ing to find a 24-hour myrrh outlet, they could’ve popped for a private room at Bethlehem General. Maybe even a TV and an epidural? But no. Because they wanted to come a little late and make a grand entrance, she ends up giving birth two feet from a cow. Frankly, I think she showed remarkable restraint. And so, I have to wonder. If the wise men had never shown up, would things be different now? Would Christmas be less commercial? More spiritual? Would the malls be empty and the pews full? Sadly, I doubt it. And who’s kidding who, anyway? I’m the first to admit that I love to give special Christmas presents. The operative word though, is ‘special.’ Nothing takes the joy out of the season faster than feeling like you’ve got to buy something because everyone else is. To that end, I’m trying something different this year. I don’t want to have to myrrh or frankincense anyone. If I can’t think of something special to give, I’m going to write them a letter telling them why I think they’re special. I don’t know if that makes me a wise man but at least it makes me feel good. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. NEIL CRONE CELIA KLEMENZ / BEHIND THE LENS SCUGOG ISLAND -- Sometimes ser- endipitous moments arise. As it was this morning. There was a new horse in the paddock. Seemed the current resident horse, while smaller, want- ed to assert his authority. A lot of nip- ping and squealing was going on. I was able to get a few photos, and a caption that could easily read, ‘Have you heard who’s boss?’ Always and never are dangerous words JOANNE BURGHARDT Do your kids ever complain ‘you NEVER buy ice cream’? Have you ever said to your spouse ‘you NEVER say anything nice to me’? How about these ones? ‘You ALWAYS take his side because you like him better ... NEVER let me have the biggest slice because you hate me...’ Always and never are dangerous words. As absolute statements of fact, they’re sure to get you in trouble because they’re easily dis- proved. They’re also likely to trigger a nega- tive response from the target who immedi- ately feels he’s being unfairly criticized. When little Johnny says ‘you NEVER buy ice cream’, what he’s really saying is ‘you don’t buy ice cream as often as I’d like’. So when Judy Sharpe wrote me a letter this week complaining that the local media -- meaning us -- has chosen not to cover the story of incineration in Durham Region, I was taken aback. We’ve covered it, and then some, including a trip to Europe to investigate energy-from- waste technology and a trip to Syracuse, New York to visit a Covanta plant similar to the one they intend to build in Durham Region. Nearly 300 news articles, letters to the edi- tor both pro and con, and editorials have been published here. More than a dozen video news stories presenting the opinions of both opponents and proponents of the project have been posted to our website, dur- hamregion.com. When I telephoned Judy to discuss her let- ter, we agreed on one thing: that it’s hard to believe with all the coverage this issue has been given that anyone in Durham Region could be unaware of the debate over incin- eration. Judy is not the only person to suggest we never write anything on the issue. What I believe they’re really saying is we don’t pub- lish enough stories and letters to the editor that express their point of view -- that incin- eration is dangerous and more specifically that question Covanta’s track record. -- Editor-in-chief Joanne Burghardt can be found online at Twitter/jbnewsdurham and on Facebook - search Joanne Burghardt. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 1, 20108 P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 1, 20109 P %JSFDU"DDFTT (FOFSBM&ORVJSJFT 4FSWJDF%JTSVQUJPODJUZPGQJDLFSJOHDPN 5 )PVS-JOF 5PMM'SFF 55: DVTUPNFSDBSF!DJUZPGQJDLFSJOHDPN DJUZPGQJDLFSJOHDPN Upcoming Public Meetings All meetings are open to the public.

Current Chairman Roger Anderson, who was unopposed for the job in 2006, is being challenged by former Clarington mayor John Mutton. Mr. Anderson has held the job since 1997 and he’s the longest-serving chairman. Mr. Mutton served as Clarington mayor for six years, before being defeated in 2006. Mr. Mutton has been running his campaign for most of this year, visiting local councils to push his cause and advocating the chair- man’s position be filled by a direct election. In the November municipal elections, vot- ers overwhelmingly endorsed a direct elec- tion of the chairman. The threshold of 50 per cent of eligible voters wasn’t reached, so the result isn’t binding. However, it’s likely the new Regional council will start the process of changing how the position is filled. Mr. Anderson, in fact, says it will be one of the first orders of business for the new council. “The election of the Regional chairman will be dealt with fairly early,” he says. “It will be at the first (finance and administration committee) meeting. It will basically be off the table in March or April.” Mr. Anderson says he’s seeking the posi- tion again because, “I enjoy the job. I think I do a fairly good job at it.” Should he be chosen again, by the end of the term he will have served as chairman for 17 years. Regional councillors will decide which man will serve as Durham’s next chairman at the inaugural meeting on Dec. 8. If Durham moves to direct election of the chairman by the region’s voters, it won’t come into effect until the municipal elections of 2014. “I can deliver council’s message. I have the ability to get done what they want done. I’ve shown that over the last three or four terms,” Mr. Anderson says. Mr. Mutton disagrees. “I think Durham can do better,” he says. “Durham has been suffering a lot. It’s land- use planning really reflects on urban sprawl and that ties into the perpetual tax increas- es.” He also claims the Region doesn’t “have a good relationship with others”, such as Metrolinx, the agency responsible for tran- sit planning in the GTA. “You have to have a good relationship with all the stakeholders. We don’t have that.” Mr. Mutton also favours the direct election of the Regional chairman. If elected chair- man, “I want to make sure that is ushered in.” As the position currently is, “I don’t think the chairman is accountable. I don’t think there’s any accountability right now.” He points to Mr. Anderson signing off on the expansion of the York-Durham sewer system, with an odour control facility on the Pickering border. “He signed it without consultation with Pickering. The chair is supposed to take the message of council, not dictate it.” They may differ on who is the best to do the job, but one thing they agree on is the issue of extension of Hwy. 407 through Durham will be the main one for the Region in the coming years. In June, the Province announced the EA for the highway was approved. But, a few days later, the announcement was made that the highway would only go as far as Simcoe Street in Oshawa and not all the way to Hwys. 35/115, as originally thought. The 407 “is a big issue. I want to make sure it’s open and operating,” Mr. Anderson says. Mr. Mutton also agrees the 407 will be a huge issue for Durham over the next four years. He would also bring the energy-from-waste agreement back to council for a final look. On Friday, the provincial environment ministry approved the EA for the controver- sial incinerator in Clar- ington. Mr. Anderson says he expects “to make a decision hopefully soon” on whether to sign the docu- ment approv- ing the facility. POLITICS The race is on FAST FACTS Who will incoming councillors vote for? Here’s a sampling of councillors on who they will vote for and why Willie Woo, Clarington: “During the election, when asked about supporting John Mutton for Regional chair, I said I would not be supporting John Mutton for Regional chair, but that does not preclude my vehement opposition to the incinera- tor issue.” Adrian Foster, Clarington: “At this point in time, it would be John (Mutton). I’ve worked with John and we had a good relationship. He made a com- mitment to reopen the incinerator file. I’m wonder- ing if it’s not time for a change.” Amy England, Oshawa: “Roger Anderson. I feel, right now, it’s becoming one issue not to vote for Roger and that’s the incinerator. I sent a note to him not to sign the document until the new council comes in. He’s been supportive of the (Lakeridge Oshawa) hospital and supportive of Durham Col- lege and UOIT.” Nancy Diamond, Oshawa: “Roger Anderson. I’ve worked with Roger. I know it’s about coming down to the issue of incineration. I’m absolutely opposed to the incinerator. However, you don’t elect or not elect someone on a single issue. The previous council voted for it. I’m hoping the current chair doesn’t sign the agreement until the new council is in.” John Aker, Oshawa: “I’ve advised Roger Ander- son that I would be supporting him. These are very challenging times for the Region of Dur- ham. I believe the biggest issue will be the 407.” The other issue is conforming with the provincial growth plan. “These two issues, it’s important, more appropriately, to go for experience.” Bob Chapman, Oshawa: “Roger Anderson. I think the past experience and knowledge of the issues coming up, it would be beneficial, espe- cially with a pile of new councillors.” Nester Pidwerbecki, Oshawa: “Roger Anderson. I think over the last number of years I’ve been on council, I’ve seen him grow. He’s been good for the Region and good for the City of Oshawa.” Bill McLean, Pickering: “I’m leaning towards Roger. If this is the last time it’s an appointment by council, it’s important to have someone with ties to people, contacts with cabinet ministers, the prime minister, the premier. He has those contacts. I’ve had disagreements with Roger, but he’s the best man for the job.” Jennifer O’Connell, Pickering: “Definitely John Mutton. Roger hasn’t treated Pickering very well, particularly with the York-Durham sewage pipe. When I was out knocking on doors, the commu- nity made if clear they don’t want Roger Anderson to return. They made that very clear on numerous occasions.” Peter Rodrigues, Pickering: “John Mutton. I’ve seen Chair Anderson and I’ve seen John Mut- ton and I think John Mutton is the clear choice. I don’t like the decision Anderson made regarding the incinerator and the York-Durham sewer sys- tem. He also wants to develop an airport in north Pickering. I and the people who elected me don’t want an airport.” Joe Drumm, Whitby: Roger Anderson. “I see no reason to change and I like the guy. He’s a good guy. He’s fair and done a good job. I don’t see the need to change.” Shaun Collier, Ajax: “It depends on if Roger goes ahead and ignores our request (to delay approval of the incinerator) and goes off and signs it. Any- one who ignores the majority of council, I’m not interested in having as Regional chairman. I won’t go on the record, but my decision will be quite easy if he goes off and signs off on the agreement with Covanta.” METROLAND FILE PHOTOS DURHAM -- John Mutton, right, former mayor of Clarington, is hoping to unseat Roger Anderson, above, for the regional chairman’s job at Regional Council. Mr. Anderson has been the chairman since 1997. FAST FACTS Environment group cancels Durham chairman debate DURHAM -- A hoped-for debate between pro- spective candidates for Durham Regional chair- man has been cancelled, as only one candidate accepted the invitation. DurhamCLEAR, an environmental organiza- tion, invited both candidates -- current Chairman Roger Anderson and former Clarington mayor John Mutton -- to debate the issues. However, by the deadline of last Friday, Mr. Mutton was the only one to accept. The organization had arranged a venue for the debate and had given the two men four pos- sible dates to hold the event. According to a press release from Durham- CLEAR, Mr. Anderson turned down the invitation to debate. Durham regional councillors will select the chairman during the inaugural Regional council meeting on Dec. 8. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 1, 201011 P 8.8¢7.2¢4 ¢ Ontario is introducing new Time-of-Use rates to help smooth “peak demand”.With rates based on off-peak, mid-peak, and on-peak periods, you can now decide when and how to best use your electricity.

As education is part of its mandate, Land Over Landings, the anti-airport group that hopes for a farming future for the lands, vis- its schools to speak to teachers and students about the situation. This time the teachers got to see the land for themselves. “These are profound and deeply important parts of our heritage,” said LOL member and tour guide Mary Delaney. The day began with a gathering at the Brougham Hall in the geographical centre of Pickering. Original members of People or Planes (the original LOL), including Bill Lish- man and Michael Robertson, were on hand to tell their tales of stopping the airport from going through in the early 1970s. The group then began the tour of the land, which was a thriving farming community before expropriation. It included a stop at the historical Bentley-Carruthers house, the 1850s home where in 1975, when residents were being forced from their homes, Bren- da Davies, Anne Howes and Frances Moore from POP stayed without heat, hydro and water for two weeks to keep the house from being bulldozed. They remained there until they learned plans to build the airport were put on hold. “This is the ‘Last Stand house,’” Ms. Dela- ney said to the Durham District School Board teachers on the tour. “There were people liv- ing here until last December when they were told to get out.” Ms. Delaney noted when she speaks to chil- dren about the land, they’re amazed by the sheer size, and said it became obvious to the teachers as well when they couldn’t cover the entire area on the trip. “We didn’t even go into York,” she said. “I just pointed at it and said ‘It just keeps going.’” She said children often show anger and question why the situation can’t be stopped when she speaks with them. She said with the teachers, she felt a strong sense of a willing- ness to help, and even noticed they tried to fix the eavestrough at the Bentley-Carruthers home. They also showed shock when they saw evidence of recent demolitions of centu- ry homes. “We hope as much as they were shell- shocked and stunned, like us, they also see the possibility of a future,” Ms. Delaney said. Donald A. Wilson Secondary School geog- raphy teacher and chairman of the Durham Geography Teachers Association, Cameron Scott, helped organize the outing. He said he includes the history and geography of the Pickering land in lessons for his urban geog- raphy and environmental geography classes. “I grew up in Pickering and watched friends be expropriated,” said the former Pickering High School teacher. He said while the school boards seem to favour math and sciences, the trip allowed the teachers to get a good sense of geographi- cal issues happening right in the region. “We need to know what’s going on around us,” Mr. Scott said. Ms. Delaney hoped the importance of being involved in the community and com- mitment to a cause will be relayed back to the students. “We do not do this for ourselves ... This is for the next generation,” she said. “This is for them.” As well as noting the importance of current LOL members, she said if it weren’t for the original members of POP and because the demolitions were stopped in 1975, the area is an agricultural gem. “None of us would have been able to do this if they hadn’t done it then,” she said. “This would have been suburbia.” DURHAM from page 1 EDUCATION Durham teachers tour Pickering airport lands METROLAND FILE PHOTO PICKERING -- In this file photo, Land over Landings members, from left, Gerd Untermann, Mary Delaney and Gabrielle Untermann stood outside the ‘Last Stand house’ on federal lands along Sideroad 32. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 1, 2010AP durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 1, 201013 AP 12 durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 1, 201014 P RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND Patient appreciation AJAX -- Rick Gowrie, vice-president of planning and capital redevelopment, greet- ed visitors to the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital on Patient Appreciation Day recently.

ONTARIO JUNIOR HOCKEY LEAGUE New way to lose for Panthers Pickering let 5-0 lead slip away in 6-5 loss to Vaughan BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Even with all of the losses the Pickering Panthers have suffered through this year, they found a new way to drop one on Monday night. Leading 5-0 over the Vaughan Vipers midway through the sec- ond period, the Panthers gave up four goals in just over six minutes to close out the middle frame up by just one, then gave up a pair of goals in the third to fall 6-5. “It’s a combination. I’m not sure we sat back,” said head coach John Goodwin, searching for answers behind the collapse. “We were up 5-0 and not used to playing with that kind of lead, for sure. “It seems that everything that could happen bad happened bad for about four minutes. It was just breakdown after breakdown. A couple of unfortunate bounces on the winning goal and we never recovered. That’s been the story of our season.” The Panthers took advantage of early power-play opportunities, scoring three times with the man advantage as Justin MacDonald, Brett Gustavsen and Paul Ramieri did the damage. Khalid Alli and a second by Ramieri paced the Pan- thers to the 5-0 lead 8:16 into the second period. Four goals by Vaughan before the period ended, another to tie just 18 seconds into the third, and the winner with 12:39 left in the game dropped the Panthers to 7-21-1 on the season. Vaughan held a 40-27 advantage in shots on goal. The weekend started on a prom- ising note, as the Panthers blanked the Whitby Fury 6-0 in what Good- win described as his team’s “most complete game of the year” on Friday at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Brandon Parks and Alli scored two goals each, with sin- gles by Tyler Prendergast and Gustavsen. The Panthers scored two goals in each of the three peri- ods, as Ryan Carlisle posted the shutout in goal, stopping all 28 Whitby shots. The following night in Welling- ton it was the exact reverse as the Panthers fell 6-0, giving up two goals in each period. Now, says Goodwin, the next step is to string together a couple of wins. “We’re only getting one victory a week now and we need to get a couple in a row or two out of three,” he said. “I thought (in Vaughan) halfway through the second would be the week we get it and get some momentum going. “Right now, it’s a process to take that next step and we’re not quite there yet.” Next on the docket is the Dec. 1 cut-down date when teams have to be down to a combination of 25 players and cards. Heading into the deadline, the Panthers had 20 players and five open cards, with some movement expected, said Goodwin. On the ice, the Panthers head to Lindsay on Friday and host Wel- lington on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. It was just breakdown after breakdown. A couple of unfortunate bounces on the winning goal and we never recovered. That’s been the story of our season. John Goodwin PROVINCIAL WOMEN’S HOCKEY LEAGUE Junior Lightning looking to take forward step Durham West split eastern trip in Nepean and Ottawa BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Durham West Junior Lightning head coach Wayne McDonald knows that if his hockey club is to be considered among the contenders, it has to beat a top team. It almost pulled that off on Sunday in Provincial Women’s Hockey League play. Facing a top-five team in the Ottawa Junior Senators, the Lightning fell just one goal short, a first-period marker while try- ing to fend off a five-on-three shorthanded situation, resulting in a 1-0 loss. All was not lost, however, dur- ing the eastern swing, as the day before the Lightning took care of business in Nepean, easily han- dling the Nepean Junior Wild- cats 6-1. “I couldn’t ask for anything more in that game,” said McDon- ald of the narrow miss against Ottawa. “Our girls played well enough to win. “We’re getting better. We’ll start beating those teams. It’s just a matter of time. At the start of the year, I bet they would have dominated us, but we are right there.” The Lightning did everything but score against Ottawa, out- shooting them 33-24 on the afternoon, including margins of 11-8 and 14-4 in the final two periods. Jackie Rochefort was in net for the Lightning. Saturday it was all Lightning, opening a 4-0 lead 11:13 into the second period and cruis- ing to a 6-1 win after a couple of third-period markers. Marissa Maugeri, who just committed to a scholarship at the Rochester Institute of Technology, scored three times, while Marissa Red- mond, Sara Jane Pratt and Kath- ryn Goodwin added one each. Goodwin’s third-period goal came courtesy of the power play, the only one the Lightning would score in seven chances. Carly Marchment had two assists, while singles were cred- ited to Lindsey McDonald, Emily Kekewich, Megan Kirkham, Shannon Stewart, Megan Simp- son and Goodwin. Goaltender Chantal Bicket had a relatively easy afternoon, facing just 12 shots, while the Lightning fired 28. The weekend split leaves the Lightning, winners of four of their past six, in 11th place in the 19-team league with a record of 6-6-1-1. This weekend will be an impor- tant one in terms of moving up in the standings, facing Etobi- coke in a home-and-home, who sit one point ahead in 10th with 15 points. The Lightning host Etobicoke on Saturday night at 7:30 at the Ajax Communi- ty Centre, then visit Etobicoke Sunday afternoon at 2:30. “Etobicoke is a very good team,” praised McDonald. “I think their record (6-4-3-0) isn’t as good as they are. “It’s a big weekend for us. I think we’re at the stage with our team now it’s time for us to start competing with the upper ech- elon teams. “I know Etobicoke doesn’t look like one, but they should be one.” I think we’re at the stage with our team now it’s time for us to start competing with the upper echelon teams.

The Pickering quarterback took the field Saturday under centre for the Calgary Dinos in the Vanier Cup, looking to end a sparkling career on a high note in the national championship. Instead, he had a performance he sure- ly would prefer to forget in a 29-2 loss to the Laval Rouge et Or. Glavic, a two-time Hec Crighton Trophy winner as the nation’s top CIS foot- ball player, was unable to generate anything with the offence, completing just six of 27 passes for a paltry 69 yards and one interception. According to the Dinos web- site, many of those incom- plete passes from the strong arm of Glavic were a direct result of an inability to hold on by his receivers. He was also charged with a fumble. Playing with two banged-up knees, injuries that will prevent him from pursuing a career in pro- fessional football, Glavic was replaced for much of the second half by first year quarterback Eric Dzwilews- ki. Calgary’s only points came on a second-quarter safety. They trailed 17-0 after the first quarter and 26-2 at the half. While the Dinos will try to regroup and rebuild their football program, for Glav- ic, after back-to-back years of losing in the Vanier Cup -- they lost 33-31 last year to Queen’s, blowing an 18-point second-half lead -- it’s time to move on. The 24 year old told the Toronto Star last week he is done with football due to injuries and the former St. Mary Secondary School stu- dent, who started his CIS career as a member of the St. Mary’s Huskies, is plan- ning to follow through with a career in marketing for an oil and gas company based in Calgary. NCAA BASKETBALL Joseph returns to Gophers lineup MINNESOTA -- Junior guard Devoe Joseph returned to the Minnesota Golden Gophers lineup Monday night after missing the first six games of the season due to suspen- sion. The Pickering native was relegated to the Gophers’ sidelines last month by coach Tubby Smith, for what was then termed as an indef- inite suspension due to a vio- lation of team rules. Not much in the way of specifics pertaining to the ban was ever revealed, how- ever, Smith did indicate in media reports last weekend, as rumors of Joseph’s return were rampant, that part of the issue was based around academics. Ironically enough, it was academic issues last season that felled Gophers point guard Al Nolan and thrust Joseph into the backcourt spotlight, where he deliv- ered, developing into Minne- sota’s most dynamic offence weapon. Nolan was out of the line- up again Monday, but this time due a foot injury, and Joseph came off the bench for a 16-point performance. His efforts weren’t enough though, as the 15th-ranked Gophers fell 87-79 to Virgin- ia. Minnesota’s next game is Saturday against Cornell. Meanwhile, as Devoe Joseph worked to get his affairs in order, younger brother Cory was getting his feet wet as a first-year guard with the Texas Longhorns. The younger Joseph has played in and started six games to date, averaging a shade over 31 minutes a night and putting up eight points and 3.5 rebounds, while leading the team in assists with 3.2 a game.

After opening the provincial champion- ship with a win, a loss in the second game of the 16-team tournament relegated them to the consolation round, where they advanced to the championship game before losing 47-38 to St. Edmund Campion. “I thought it was excellent. We played real- ly well,” said coach Naomi Scott of her team’s performance at OFSAA, which brought together the best 16 girls’ basketball teams in the province. Pickering, seeded sixth in the rankings, opened the tournament with a 45-29 win over 16th-seeded St. Joseph’s, as Cienna Walker led the Trojans with 14 points. In the second game, against 11th-seeded Michael Power, Pickering got behind early, trailing 9-2 after the first quarter and 17-7 at the half, eventually falling 37-24, dashing any hopes of competing for the top prize. “We couldn’t put the ball in the hoop. We struggled to score,” said Scott of the loss. “We had shots. We had great opportunities, we just could not find the basket.” As an example of the offensive struggles, points were hard to come by as Tekima Millington-Rowe and Taijah Campbell led Pickering with just six points each. The loss dropped Pickering out of the main draw and into the consolation group, where they went on a tidy little run to reach the final. A couple of injuries in the consolation quarter-final game summoned help from the bench, as Pickering used its depth for a 49-39 win over eighth-seeded Eastern Com- merce. Campbell led the way offensively with 10 points. In the semifinal, it was 18 points from Colleen Keane that led the way to a 48-33 over 15th Notre Dame. In the consolation final, Pickering led 11-5 after the first quarter and 18-14 at the half, but couldn’t close it out in the second half, falling 47-38 to 13th St. Edmund Campion. Walker led the offence for the second time in the tournament with 15 points. “We were up most of it, we just lost it in the fourth. We couldn’t finish,” summed up Scott. Three of the team’s seniors, Keane, Walker and Teanna Rowe, could be gone to gradu- ation unless they return for a fifth year, but the future appears bright, as the junior pro- gram advanced all the way to the LOSSA final. “We have a great program. We have some juniors coming up, so it will be interest- ing,” said Scott of the senior program. “They should be in the OFSAA playoffs again next year.” The season might not be totally over for Pickering, who are trying to make arrange- ments to enter a December tournament in North Carolina.

At the other end of the table, Oshawa Generals GM/coach Chris DePiero is typi- cally keeping his cards tight to his chest, so it remains to be seen if he will move any of his chips prior to the Ontario Hockey League trading deadline in January. What’s known is the Generals will get a chance to see the new-look Frontenacs firsthand Thursday night at the General Motors Centre. But, while he admitted it will be a good gauge for his hockey club, DePiero refused to place too much importance on the game, given the amount of hockey yet to be played. “Especially after Kingston has made their changes, adding two quality players in (Ryan) Spooner and Sean Jones, two offensively talented players, we’re going to have our work cut out for us, but it’s anoth- er game,” said DePiero, whose club split a pair of road games on the weekend. “We’ve got Kingston six more times, so you start assessing it and a seventh of our schedule left is against the Kingston Fron- tenacs,” he pointed out. “To look at one game being a make or break is kind of pre- mature in my mind right now.” In addition to trading for Jones and Spooner, both proven 30-goal scorers in the league, the Frontenacs have also already bulked up the blue-line by adding Mitch Gaulton and Jeff Braithwaite. The Generals have yet to make a major move and, given the relative youth of the team, may not, but they’re still right there with the Frontenacs in the standings. After losing 5-2 in Windsor and winning 5-4 in a shootout over Sarnia this week- end, the Generals are now 14-6-2-2, tied with Kingston (15-8-1-1) with a game in hand. Both teams are trailing the division- leading Ottawa 67’s (18-9-0-0). The swing through western Ontario mir- rored their trip north three weeks earlier, as the Generals lost on Friday and sal- vaged the split on Saturday. DePiero dismissed the long bus rides as a possible factor, pointing out his team had won a Friday game in Ottawa early this season, and didn’t appear sluggish this past Friday in Windsor, where they outshot the Spitfires 43-24. Thursday’s game, a 7:05 p.m. start, is Teddy Bear Toss Night, where fans can throw stuffed animals onto the ice after the Generals’ first goal. They will be dis- tributed to children through the Durham Children’s Aid Foundation’s Holiday Hope program. After Thursday’s game, the Generals are in Guelph Friday and back home against Windsor Sunday at 6:05 p.m. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 1, 201024 AP 201 BAYLY ST. W.
