The Town of Ajax officially launched the Think and Drive campaign on Nov. 24 in an effort to combat the three dangerous driving habits: speeding, impaired driving and dis- tracted driving. Councillor Colleen Jordan addressed fellow councillors and Town staff and invited the public to learn more about the three behav- iours that cause the most crashes by visiting townofajax.com. On the website, residents can take a pledge to “leave the phone alone” while driving and they can also take the Durham Road Safety Challenge quiz. “These are not accidents, they’re prevent- able,” said Coun. Jordan of the leading causes of crashes. She said that in the GTA, Durham Region has one of the highest emergency room and hospitalization rates due to collisions with 3,458 residents per year visiting emergency rooms or hospitalized. Coun. Jordan pointed out road crashes are the leading cause of death for young people in Canada and she said she always thought of that when her children left the house. “I know anyone who is a parent would relate to that, it’s always our No. 1 worry.” When it comes to distracted driving, tex- ting and talking on cellphones are the largest problem, but so are other behaviours such as eating and applying makeup. Part of the problem is people are always in a rush, causing them to multi-task while driv- ing. “For some people, the car is almost an extension of the their office,” said Durham police Inspector Jamie Grant. But he advises that drivers would be much better off paying attention. “A second of inat- tention can result in catastrophic results.” Durham police are partners in the Think and Drive campaign along with the OPP, the Durham health department and the Town. Insp. Grant said that when it comes to dan- gerous driving behaviours, police take both an enforcement and an education approach with a Durham-wide Think and Drive cam- paign fitting into the latter category. OPP Staff Sergeant Rob Kobayashi said his force is seeing an increase in public com- plaints about erratic driving on provincial roads, but he cautioned the people calling could at times be engaging in distracted driv- ing. He said he’s seen all types of dangerous driving on the roads, including women put- ting on makeup with the visor fully down and in one case a passenger steering the car as the driver blew his nose. “I’m very appreciative of the Town and I hope you get a bump in peo- ple visiting the website and taking the quiz,” he said.

DurhamCLEAR is seeking to have the incinerator halted, claiming the zoning for the facility isn’t compatible with Clarington’s Official Plan. The court case doesn’t begin until January, but the Region and Covanta Energy, the com- pany selected to design, build and operate the facility, brought forward some motions to be heard prior to the start of the case. The Region is arguing the group can’t fight the incinerator because it’s not a taxpayer and so doesn’t have the right to argue the case. Covanta wants DurhamCLEAR to put up ‘security of costs’, or have to make a down payment, in case the group loses the case and the company seeks to recover some of its expenses. Justice Peter Lauwers heard the arguments made by the Region and Covanta, along with rebuttals by DurhamCLEAR’s lawyer Eric Gillespie on Wednesday. Stephen Waque, the lawyer representing the Region, said the “issue of the environ- mental approval isn’t before this court.” The only issue, Mr. Waque noted, was the zoning for the facility. DurhamCLEAR is arguing the facility doesn’t conform to Clarington’s Official Plan and shouldn’t go ahead. “The Region relies on the public use exemption,” Mr. Waque stated. Mr. Waque also questioned if Durham- CLEAR could be arguing the case, as it’s not a taxpayer. “You have to have an economic stake in a municipality to be able to bring a suit against a municipality,” Mr. Waque said. “The appli- cant doesn’t have capacity or standing to bring an application.” Mr. Gillespie argued that the ‘public use exemption’ can’t be used by the Region because Covanta will be building and oper- ating the facility. “The exemption can only be used by a pub- lic authority,” Mr. Gillespie stated. “Covanta is a private company. It does not appear to be, to our client, to be a public entity.” Julie Parla, the lawyer for Covanta, said her client wants DurhamCLEAR to put up $45,000, an amount the group hasn’t been able to raise. Mr. Gillespie noted the group has raised less than $20,000 in 18 months. There’s no precedent in Canadian law to award ‘security of costs’, Mr. Gillespie stated, adding the “court would be ushering in a new era. “Public interest litigants are treated differently and DurhamCLEAR is absolutely clearly a public interest litigant,” he said. Mr. Gillespie admitted if DurhamCLEAR had to put up $45,000, “it ends the case. (It) is more money that the organization has been able to raise in its lifetime. In all practical purposes, it would stop the case.” Mr. Parla argued, “There’s no legal rule that a public interest litigant are immune from costs at the end of the day, nor for having to post securities.” She said the motive of DurhamCLEAR, to stop the incinerator so property values aren’t affected, is more “typical of a ratepay- ers group and not a public interest group. “To come in at the end of the day, after a long- standing public process, with no skin in the game, cannot be defended as just,” she said. Justice Lauwers seemed to agree, saying to Mr. Gillespie that DurhamCLEAR was trying to get “a free crack at this, at the 11th hour. There’s a price to be paid to put a wrench in this. You need to put some skin in the game. This thing has been aired publicly in a seri- ous way. “A free kick at the cat at the end of the pro- cess, a very lengthy process, isn’t appropri- ate,” Justice Lauwers stated. No date was given as to when Justice Lauw- ers will release his decision. GRANDOPENINGSALES! Opening Monday, December 5th!

Joe Toneguzzo, director of transmission integration power system planning for the Ontario Power Authority, spoke during the November meeting of the Pickering plant’s community advisory council and explained how the province’s electricity needs would be met over the coming years. With the phase-out of coal and the power down of the Pickering nuclear plant within the next decade, the Province is changing up how electricity is produced. “Our objective was to eliminate coal by the end of 2014,” said Mr. Toneguzzo. For 2015, the OPA is estimating Ontario’s system will have a 42,200 megawatt capac- ity. That includes 12,900 megawatts of nucle- ar capacity, 9,000 megawatts of hydro, 9,700 megawatts of natural gas and 8,900 mega- watts of non-hydro renewables such as wind and solar. There are also 1,700 megawatts of demand response capacity in the system which comes from agreements with industrial power users to power down during peak demand times to increase the capacity in the system. But practically speaking, not all forms of power generation reach their maximum capacity at all times because the sun doesn’t always shine to generate solar power, the wind isn’t always blowing and for hydro power, peak water flows are seasonal. On hot summer days when electricity demand is at its peak, Mr. Toneguzzo said the Province is counting on just 20 per cent of the capacity from non-hydro renewables and 70 per cent from hydro. The wind is generally not at its peak during the hottest part of a summer day and power generation can shut down suddenly if the wind stops. “These things turn on and off very quickly and the rest of the system has to be able to fill in the gaps in seconds,” said Mr. Toneguzzo. In anticipation of the addition of substantial non-hydro renewables, the Province ramped up its natural gas fleet which can start gener- ating power quickly. Nuclear will remain the most reliable form of power operating at 100-per cent capacity on a hot summer day, he said. Mr. Toneguzzo was asked about outages affecting the nuclear picture and responded that while an unplanned outage is a possibil- ity, planned outages are generally scheduled outside of summer peak times. Of the 166 terra watt hours of power expect- ed to be generated in 2015, 96 terra watt hours will come from nuclear, 11 will come from natural gas, 44 from hydro and 16 will come from other renewables such as solar and wind. Looking further into the future, the Prov- ince’s nuclear capacity drops as Darling- ton units are set for refurbishment and the Pickering units are taken off line. Assuming the life of the Pickering units is extended, the Province will see the biggest dip in 2020 and 2021 when the nuclear capacity will be about half of what it is in 2015. The OPA is projecting new Darlington units will start ramping up nuclear power produc- tion starting in 2020. Members of the community council want- ed to know whether the Province could meet that deadline given that it has not given the green light for new build yet by selecting a vendor for new units. “Right now we are not technically losing time,” said Glenn Jager, senior vice-president for Pickering A. He added that OPG is conducting envi- ronmental assessment and site preparation work that had to be done regardless of who the vendor is. “I can tell you that the Chinese that are building the plants are doing it in five or six years from site preparation comple- tion,” said Mr. Jager, adding that they’re build- ing pressure water reactors. “What could we do? Maybe not five or six years, but compa- rable, eight or 10 years.” Mr. Toneguzzo said Ontario will make up the gap from the loss of nuclear power via renewables such as wind and solar and through natural gas generation. The OPA forecasts for low, medium and high growth in electricity demand, but Mr. Toneguzzo said the demand has always been less than the low forecast. As it stand the Province’s capacity will just meet the low-demand forecast in 2019, 2020 and 2022 and it won’t meet the demand in 2021. Mr. Toneguzzo said that if necessary, the gap can be made up with bringing a for- mer coal plant like Lambton online as a nat- ural gas plant and said if the price is right purchasing power from another jurisdiction such as Quebec might be an option. In addition to leaving a gap in energy pro- duction, the decommissioning of Pickering will also change the flow of electricity into the GTA, necessitating a new transformer station in Oshawa or an upgrade to the current Cher- rywood station. The new station in Oshawa is the preferred option as it could also handle electricity gen- erated by new nuclear units in Darlington. The station would be built on land that is already owned by Hydro One where there are existing transmission lines. The project would cost $300 to $350 million. This would ensure continued reliable power to fast-growing Ajax and Pickering once the Pickering plant is decommissioned, said Mr. Toneguzzo. nucleaR decommiSSioninG Ontario Power Authority plans for Pickering plant durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 2, 20115 P 5O%OFF PLUS, other women’s original regular-priced outerwear in our outerwear department Excludes Elie Tahari, Hilary Radley Collection, Sola & Kyo and items with 99¢ price endings. $99 99 Regularly $250–$270 Clearance $99.99 3 styles available.

The organization also works with members of the public who are not in the court system. “We serve the general public that find themselves in conflict with their fami- lies or their neighbours that would like to have a mediated process and that is a volunteer mediated process of conflict resolution,” said Ms. Lewis. When it comes to the victim and offender reconciliation process, Ms. Lewis explains that the most common type of case usually involves mischief or an assault. “It would be kids at school that get into a fight over a cellphone ... or it would be two people who have gotten into an altercation that has led to physi- cal harm ... or it would be a young person who has vandalized some- one’s property and there’s been an emotional harm done to the owner, where they feel a threat.” Ms. Lewis explains that by going through the pro- gram, victims get a voice that they may not get in the court system. “The wonderful thing about this pro- cess, which is called a restorative jus- tice process, is the victim gets to tell the offender the effects this has had in their life,” she said. Michelle Shurland-Jadoo is a volunteer with CJA and she said the process means that victims’ fears can be allayed. “Often the person that was harmed felt what if this person comes back and (through the process) they found out that person had no intention of coming back,” she said. Ms. Shurland-Jadoo said she first heard about CJA about six years ago and she decided to volunteer. People who volun- teer receive training through the organi- zation and Ms. Shurland-Jadoo said vol- unteering is rewarding. “It’s really fulfilling to give people a chance to resolve things, also it’s quite humbling when people who cause harm accept responsibility for what they’re doing,” she said. The process is rewarding for people who participate in the program as well. After a fight led to an assault charge, Oshawa mother April enrolled her 17-year-old son Cody in CJA’s CALM program to help him with anger manage- ment. “He can be very emotional,” said April of her son. “Now he’s dealing with things bet- ter and analyzing more before he jumps to conclu- sions.” Cody said that with the skills he learned in the program he probably would not have gotten into the fight that led to his charges. “I could have stayed in the gym and just played basketball like I was doing,” he said. As staff, volunteers and people who have participated in CJA programs cele- brate the organization’s 30th anniversa- ry, Ms. Lewis said she would love to see the organization’s founder, Helen Pugl- iese, attend. “She really spearheaded this organiza- tion when there was very little, almost next to none, programs and resources for victims in the courts.” However, over the years CJA has lost touch with Ms. Pugliese so Ms. Lewis is hoping someone who knows her will get in touch with the organization. As it stands, CJA gives out an award named after Ms. Pugliese each year to people who have worked towards har- mony and peace in the community. “This year on the 30th anniversary, we’d like to give that award to Helen,” said Ms. Lewis.

Michelle shurland-Jadoo COMMUNitY from page 1 Make us your facebook friend >> newsdurham -- durhamregion.com Education Disappointed in board rejection of Q&A session To the editor: I was at the Durham Catholic District School Board meeting this week and there was plenty of media coverage surround- ing the notice of motion to ban kilts. How- ever, there were two notices of motion, one regarding the kilts and the other to allow a 15-minute question-and-answer session to each public meeting. I think the coverage should also focus on the second notice of motion as this affects the public’s access to our school board. As a parent, it was more disturbing that the vote was against the Q and A session. The board speaks of transparency and bet- ter communication with parents and other stakeholders, yet with this vote they contra- dicted themselves. A trustee spoke of opening the meetings to “hecklers and scrutiny” but that is a risk that people in public office should under- stand. With strong leadership, there is always a way to handle such issues. It seems to me that the public has a right to ask ques- tions at these meetings, no matter how diffi- cult that conversation may be. After all, our school board is a publicly funded institu- tion. Of course there should be protocols in place, such as no foul language, no personal attacks, etc. On page 23 of the agenda at the meeting, I couldn’t agree more with the rationale for this motion. In particular, “... an open dia- logue will further demonstrate that we are listening to the public’s input for all of our school board initiatives.” I applaud the three trustees who voted for this motion as they show how important it is to provide this type of forum for the public (which is not as cumbersome as the other option currently in place). I am just sorry that the other five trustees could not see how beneficial this would have been to our school board. I remain hopeful that DCDSB will follow other school boards who do allow a Q & A period at their public meetings. Roxanne Horwitz Ajax BannEd Why print recipe for shark fin soup? To the editor: Re: ‘Pickering going fin free’, news, dur- hamregion.com, Nov. 23, 2011. I was shocked and saddened to see a rec- ipe for shark fin soup right beside the arti- cle trying to show awareness and banning the treatment of finning sharks. Seriously? Why would you promote the ingredient while people are trying to stop the horri- ble, merciless finning of the sharks? There is no excuse to put the two togeth- er. The treatment of the sharks is equivalent to cutting someone’s arms off and throw- ing them in the ocean. If we want a future for this planet we have to band together and stop these atrocities from happening in the first place Pickering, take a stand. Lisa Bourden Pickering incinErator Apology accepted, with conditions To the editor: In recent news Durham Regional Chair- man Roger Anderson apologized for the extravagant groundbreaking party for the highly controversial Durham incinerator. Apology accepted on the condition that appropriate studies that were not done be conducted at no more expense to taxpay- ers to assure future generations that there will be no irreversible damage to the air, water or land. It’s time to move on to the inquiry of the particulate matter still in our midst that must no longer be ignored. Everywhere in the world where there is incineration there has been irreversible damage to the bio- sphere. Every living thing, from microbe to mam- mal on land, water or air. It is old science and should be trashed. Mag Cornfoot Whitby & A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

All content copyright WE think... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 2, 20116 AP Province must strike a balance with bullying legislation A small, vital component of Mitchell Wilson’s legacy can be found in new leg- islation introduced by the Ontario gov- ernment this week to combat bullying in schools. Durham residents were horrified with the tragic story of the young Pickering boy who committed suicide on Labour Day, a deeply personal choice he made while fighting a progressive, debilitating disease and while enduring the consequences of bullying. And Mitchell’s story coincided with several other high-profile bullying cases which led to suicides this fall. An Ottawa high school student commit- ted suicide after being bullied about his sexuality, and as recently as this week, a teen girl in eastern Quebec killed her- self after years of peer abuse at her high school. This move by the provincial government underscores the gravity with which bully- ing is now being viewed -- something far more menacing than kids being kids, as traditional views have held -- and is pro- viding another tool for educators to use. The new bill would allow for expulsions in cases of bullying, where now the limit is temporary suspension. This seemingly new obsession with the effects of bullying is not a media creation. A 2009 study conducted by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health found that nearly one in three students had been vic- tims of bullies, while another 25 per cent admitted they had engaged in bullying behaviour at school. The Mitchell Wilsons of the world are the young people behind those statistics, the real boys and girls pushed to their deeply personal limits. And such num- bers demand action. And while this new option for Ontario educators is welcome, expelled students -- the vast majority of whom will essen- tially still be children -- will require alter- native forms of education. They’ll require appropriate related programs to address, for instance, mental health issues, and those to explore the motivations behind bullying behaviour. In short, punitive measures must be bal- anced with campaigns to raise awareness and which focus on prevention, while allowing perpetrators to continue build- ing the essential academic foundation required in today’s society. The Ontario minority government will require the support of both the Progressive Conservatives and the New Democrats at Queen’s Park to see the bill become legis- lation.

Scanga’s hope to build on last year’s ‘incredible’ response AJAX -- The Scanga family in Ajax is once again rallying local businesses and residents to donate food for their annual food drive. The family owns a plaza at 3 Harwood Ave. and all the businesses in the plaza are accepting donations. “Every one of them has a Christmas-wrapped box and every store’s collect- ing,” said Nino Scanga. “They’ve all been really helpful.” Residents looking to donate can simply look for the large red-and-white banner that says “drop off food bank donations here”. Mr. Scanga is working on the project, dubbed the Second Annual Scanga Fam- ily Food Drive, with his brother Andy Scanga and sister Mirella Jacobelli. The food will be distributed to Ajax and Pickering food banks. Last year’s response was overwhelm- ing, said Mr. Scanga. “It was incredible how much food we got, we didn’t realize how many people would be into it ... it was somewhere around 2,000 pounds of food.” Still, Mr. Scanga said, as he speaks to more people in the community about the food drive, he’s real- izing how big the need is with thousands of Ajax and Pickering residents at times unsure where their next meal is coming from. Residents have until Dec. 18 to drop off non-perishable food items and more information is available on the Facebook group 2nd Annual Scanga Family Food Drive. AJAX -- The Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of Ajax invites the public to a com- munity forum on Human rights on Satur- day. The event will be held on Dec. 3 at the Carruthers Marsh Pavilion at 55 Ashbury Blvd. at the corner of Audley Road South and Ashbury. Guest speakers for the event include Car- olyne Gardner from the Baha’i communi- ty of Pickering, Delany Kandiah from the Durham Tamil Association, 2011 YMCA Peace Medallion winner and Pickering High student Attiya Bacchus, Ajax-Pick- ering MPP Chris Alexander and Dr. Ger- ald Filson, director of public affairs for the Baha’i community of Canada. The forum will celebrate the impact of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Ms. Gardner addressed Ajax coun- cil last Monday and in response, the Town declared Dec. 10 Human Rights Day in Ajax.

Ms. French joined faculty, staff, students and guests at the official opening of the new Aboriginal Stu- dent Centre, Suswaan- ing Endaajig (The Nest Away from Home) on Nov. 25. Located in the Simcoe building of the Oshawa campus, Suswaan- ing Endaajig embrac- es teachings from all First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples. With the assistance of elders from all backgrounds, the new centre, a culturally recognizable, inviting environ- ment for aboriginal learners, strives to rec- ognize and support students through vari- ous activities and teachings. Elder Gerard Sagassige read the opening and closing prayers for the ceremony, and guests enjoyed a drumming circle by the DNA (Dedicated Native Awareness) Sing- ers, as well as traditional food. Alayne Bigwin, director of the aboriginal education office for the Ministry of Train- ing Colleges and Universities, said the new centre is a great way to offer aboriginal education, support to the community, and help aboriginal students be successful. Durham College president Don Lovisa said he hopes the centre will support and encourage Durham’s aboriginal students to be the best at what they want to be. “As president of Durham College, I am very proud of providing this nest away from home and also proud of those who worked so hard to make this a reality,” he said. Mohawk Sherry Ann Zwetsloot, a third- year student and single mother of three, said life as a mature student can be a chal- lenge, but being a minority at the same time can make a per- son feel alienated. So she was quite happy to come across the new centre. “Instantly I felt at ease,” she said. She said she hopes similar centres will open in the near future at different post- secondary institutions across Ontario, and not just for aboriginal students, but for other groups that may need the support, such as students from overseas. “Cultural centres are clearly needed throughout the province,” she said. The centre also offers materials for aboriginal crafts, staff members who advo- cate on behalf of students within and out- side of the college with any issues, tradi- tional elders who will provide private one- on-one counselling, and traditional teach- ings. eduCation Durham College opens Aboriginal Student centre this is a great asset to the Aboriginal students here at the college.

Held at the Durham College/University of Ontario Institute of Technology Cam- pus Recreation and Wellness Centre, the event featured keynote speaker Robin Sharma, a best-selling author and expert on leadership and change management. During his address, Mr. Sharma empow- ered the sold-out audience to build on leadership skills to achieve great suc- cess. Attendees also enjoyed the tourism industry speaker series, which covered topics such as cultural tourism, cycle tourism, culinary tourism, customer ser- vice and more. Thanks to the Durham College culi- nary students who came out to prepare appetizers for us on stage, and watched the presentation by Rebecca LeHeup from the Ontario Culinary Tourism Alli- ance. It was exciting to see the next gen- eration of chefs becoming ambassadors for local food and Durham Region’s culi- nary tourism industry. Attendees enjoyed getting a head start on holiday shopping in the creative mar- ketplace, which featured more than 50 local artisans showing off and selling their wares. Special thanks to Dani Cros- by and Will McGuirk for their leadership and support in organizing the creative marketplace. Our rich heritage, dynamic attractions and thriving arts and culture scene make up a quality of life in Durham Region that is second to none. All of these features were on display at the Durham Tourism Summit, from museums and libraries to the new Oshawa Power basketball team and Mosport Speedway. The day culminated with the presen- tation of the Durham Art of Transition Creative Awards, which celebrated peo- ple and businesses contributing to the growth of the creative economy in Dur- ham Region. The award statues, which were designed by local artist Edward Falkenberg, were presented to winners by Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson. The 25 on 25 street pARTy in Uxbridge, the Driftwood Theatre Group’s Bard’s Bus Tour, the Reflection Park in Port Perry, and artist Jane Eccles all received an award.

The Canadian country star was inducted into the Canadi- an Country Music Hall of Fame recently. And she’ll be at Class Act Dinner Theatre in Whitby Dec. 18 singing Christmas favourites and other tunes from her long career. “On one hand all of it seems unreal,” Wright says of her hall honour in an interview. “On the other hand, I feel like I’m doing what I should be doing. I love to sing. I’m curious about people and life and I like to write about and sing about it.” She says being in the hall “was never really on the monitor for me.” It caused her to reflect, to look back over her career and to realize that perhaps she has something to offer the next gen- eration of musicians. “Something did shift in my mind, not based on any arro- gance, but there’s a certain responsibility that comes when you’ve had a career that I’ve had.” Part of her career, at least since 2004, has involved going on a Christmas tour. In 2005 she released A Wright Christmas, featuring classic holiday tunes such as Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and Silent Night. But Wright was busy this time last year working on her first live disc, a recently released acous- tic record called The Wright Songs: An Acoustic Evening with Michelle Wright. Taking down her Christmas tree last year, she said to her husband, 'I sort of feel a bit mel- ancholy'. She wasn't sad Christmas was over, it's just that something was missing. When her husband told her she hadn't done her Christ- mas tour in 2010, Wright knew that was it. "We missed it so much," she says. "I just didn't expect I would miss it." Is Wright a big Christmas fan? The answer is yes. "We're a faith-based family so the faith component is some- thing I enjoy," she says. Gift-giving and the music and the food are also highlights for Wright. Looking back at her Christ- mases past, growing up in southwestern Ontario, she notes her mother was a single mom for many years and it was often a struggle. "There were some lean, mean years there,” she recalls. “But my mother was someone who tried to make our Christmas very spe- cial." Wright says her Christmas album was “the easiest and most fun I’ve had making a CD.” It features reggae, jazz and R and B treatments of the songs. She had a lot of trepidation releasing her live disc, however. “The people around me kept saying, ‘it’s time to do a live record’,” she says. “I was a bit hesitant; that means I can’t take away the imperfections.” Perfectionist? “A little bit,” Wright admits. “It really represented chal- lenges to me on a lot of levels that I enjoyed embracing and overcoming,” she says. Wright says her Whitby con- cert will feature lots of Christ- mas music, but not only holiday music. “I will intermingle some of the hits and some of the acoustic approaches I took on the acous- tic record,” she says. Both of her parents were coun- try musicians who farmed dur- ing the week and played music on the weekends and it was in the cards for Wright to follow suit. “I anticipated that I would do it like my mom and dad, on week- ends,” she says. She joined her first profession- al band when she was 17. Once, performing when she was home from college, an agent heard her and offered her a gig playing with a Nashville band. The rest, as they say, is history. But suc- cess wasn’t a sure thing, Wright says, and there is no set of direc- tions to follow to have a success- ful music career. “There are no steps; you just get out there and do it,” she says, adding “it will either happen or not.” Wright performs in Whitby at 8 p.m. For tickets and more informa- tion visit class-act.ca or call 905- 668-2229.

Michelle Wright Bluesman de Keyzer has December show in Ajax DURHAM -- Durham’s own Jack de Keyzer is going on tour and playing two dates in Durham. The Whitby resident and award-winning blues guitar- ist has a Dec. 9, 10 p.m. show at Ajax’s Edge Lounge and will be at Simcoe Jazz and Blues in Oshawa on Dec. 17 for a 9 p.m. concert. “Despite the economic chal- lenges of the year, it’s been quite the wild ride in 2011,” he states in an e-mail. “We played from the Puer- to Escondido Music Festival in Mexico to the Arctic Circle 500 kilometres from the North Pole for the Canadian Armed Forces, as well as playing many great shows across Canada from east to west.” de Keyzer has twice won JUNO awards for Blues Album of the Year, most recently for 2010’s The Corktown Sessions, and is a seven-time Maple Blues award winner. The Edge Lounge is at 252 Bayly St. W. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 2, 201118 P theatre Whitby resident’s play running in Pickering Michael LeBlanc’s first work on stage Mike ruta mruta@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- After two decades in community theatre and around six years handling lights and sound at Herongate Barn Theatre in Pickering, Michael LeBlanc fig- ured he'd give writing a shot. "I sit there night after night watching plays and I thought, 'I can do this'," he says. The result is Rock n' a Hard Place, a comedy running to New Year's Eve at the Pickering the- atre. It's set in a concert hall where classical music is king. But every- body's in for a surprise when the classical pianist organizers think they've booked to start a new sea- son turns out to be a hard-living rock legend and his entourage. LeBlanc's credits also include acting in addition to the backstage work, and he's been a part of pro- ductions at Oshawa Little Theatre and Whitby Courthouse Theatre. He wrote the play between May and July last year. And then came the tough part -- letting someone have a look. "I gave it to Ann Ward of Heron- gate just to see what she thought of it and she put it on the sched- ule for the coming year," LeBlanc says. Tomas Street helped "get it into shape," helping in areas such as physical comedy, and shares co- writer credits. Funny story: Street's moth- er, Margaret St. John-Francies, is in the play, and after it had been scheduled for Herongate's 2011/2012 season, she showed it to her son, leading to the collabo- ration. An interesting side note is that while LeBlanc doesn't know where in his mind the idea for the play came from, he knew who he wanted to be in it. LeBlanc says usually it works in reverse, with the cast selected based on the play that has been chosen. "When I wrote Rock N' a Hard Place, I wrote it with a specific cast in mind," he says. "I am very lucky that we were able to get all of the actors that I had envisioned in their roles." LeBlanc seems to be on a roll: He's written a second play, which he's sent off in the hopes that it will be published, and is currently working on a third. The cast features Paul Francies of Stouffville as William Franklin, Grant Evans of Uxbridge as Robert Eden, Margaret St. John-Francies of Stouffville as Hyacinth Hun- tington-Smythe, Riley Raymer of Markham as Sarah Raymond, James Creighton of Stouffville as James Carmichael, Lisha Cassi- bo of Port Perry as Lisa Kitchen- er and Pickering's Don Green as Maestro Gotthard Weisel.

Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurhamSports durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 2, 201120 AP Ground being laid to ensure future success of club Shawn Cayley scayley@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Through 40 years and three name changes, the dreams and desires of those within the Ajax FC have grown. They’ve also been met with rel- ative regularity over the past few years. Now while the seasons have changed and soccer has fallen from the focus of many in these parts, the club continues to cel- ebrate its 40th year of provid- ing the youth of Ajax a high-level place on the pitch to hone their skills. And justifiably so as this past season, Ajax may have enjoyed its best year yet. From teams reaching and win- ning Ontario Cup championships to one even capturing a national title, coupled with players who have moved on and up to play the game at the next level, those at the club, not the least of which is head coach Tom Croft, have plenty to hang their hats on. And while the results achieved by the club put them in high esteem across the province, Croft insists he isn’t surprised by the developments. And that’s not meant to come across as arro- gant. Far from it. “Knowing these coaches and the work that they put in, I wouldn’t say it’s a surprise,” he said, pointing out the men and women who lead not just their representative programs, but also the club level one’s that set the stage for future success. “It’s great to see all the hard work, at the end of the day, pay off with good results like this for the whole club, the parents and the players.” It wasn’t always that way at the club. Al Southard saw that first hand. The 83-year-old Ajax resident spent nine seasons (2000-2008) as the club’s head coach and was one of the major contributors to the swing in philosophy that has led to success FC now relishes in. In the area coaching a clinic back in the spring of 2000, South- ard was approached by a group led by then club president Greg Evans and was asked if he would take over the role of club head honcho. It was a position that interest- ed the longtime coach, but he wasn’t going to take on the gig without doing things his way. “At that time we sat down and laid out some guidelines with regards to how he wanted to pro- ceed in building up the profile of the club,” Southard recalls. “We set out and put a plan in motion to focus on getting high-class coaches and put some time and money into the player develop- ment aspect of things. “We got the program in place for micro soccer, kids four, five and six. The club is to the point where it’s fairly even, boys and girls now,” he adds, noting that there was also on a push on at the time for all his coaches to get their OSA level certificates. It wasn’t an easy process, as Southard recalls, but he credits those who bought in then, and continue to do so now, for ensur- ing the future footing of the club remains solid. “That was a significant peri- od because if the board hadn’t changes its attitude, they would have still been a fairly nonde- script club because they were not paying enough attention to the coach and player development stuff,” he noted. The highlight of the organiza- tional chances came one year after Southard, who is originally from England, finished up with the club. Five of their teams cap- tured Ontario championships. More recently the club’s repu- tation has grown considerably for being one of the pre-eminent soccer organizations in the area that push players ahead to next level, be it in the form of schol- arships to various NCAA institu- tions in the United States or onto both provincial and national level opportunities. Two of the biggest factors in that, according to FC president Ken Burgess is the drive and effort put in by both players and coaches, coupled with the loy- alty both parties show their sur- roundings. “We are successful in our com- petitive programs because of our recreation programs. It’s been a great feeder system for us and our kids seem to have fun play- ing there,” he began. “And unlike many other programs out there, our coaches aren’t paid. They are out there out of sheer dedica- tion and love for the sport. They really want to see this thing grow and our kids are loyal to the club instead of leaving and going to another club.” Keeping with the theme of stay- ing local, with training for the sport at all levels, be it recre- ation or rep, becoming more of an all-year-round type of thing, Burgess is hopeful of striking an agreement with the Town of Ajax that will allow the club to break ground on an indoor facility. “We spend a lot of money out- side of the Town of Ajax so our teams can train and it’s our goal to bring that back here with an indoor facility of some kind,” he said, while at the same time not- ing the efforts of the Town to ensure they have great facilities outdoors to play on during the summer months. “You’ve got to keep the money in the commu- nity and have a place to call our own.” In addition to hopes on that front, the club has recently put an added emphasis on improving its girls’ programs and setting the wheels in motion for sustained success over the next 40 years. The biggest contributor to that will be Richard Hirst, hired over the summer to serve as technical director on the girls’ side. “We really need to upgrade our girls’ program and having Rich- ard in, who was formerly the technical director for all of Dur- ham, he will upgrade the wom- en’s program for sure. We’re always looking to improve the program and Rich is a huge addi- tion to our staff,” said Croft. 4oth anniverSary Long, winding road for Ajax FC Metroland file photo AJAX -- Ajax FC Zachary Mbolekwa got his head on the ball during action last summer.

Facing teams from across the province, the team showed a strong and competitive effort against their opponents. A hectic five-game schedule in two-and- a-half days was this team’s first tournament of the season and resulted in a silver medal perfor- mance. The team finished third in round-robin play and met arch rivals Whitby in the quarter- finals, knocking them out with a 3-0 win. Then it was on to the semifinals facing a Lakeshore Lightning team that had record- ed an 4-0 over Durham West. This time it was a different story as Durham West knocked off Lakeshore Lightning 3-2. Dur- ham West faced Georgina in the finals, losing 2-0 in a very close game.

CATHARINES -- The Durham West Bantam BB Lightning earned the silver medal at a tournament in St. Catharines. hoCkey Silver for Durham West Lightning SoCCer Nicholson impresses at Danone Cup AJAX -- A process that started a little more than a year ago bore some fruitful results for Ajax FC athlete Drew Nicholson. Nicholson was selected and recently represented Canada dur- ing the 2011 Danone Nations Cup in Spain. At the tournament for players aged 11-12, Nicholson, a natu- ral mid-fielder, made the switch to defence at the request of his Canadian coach and helped Can- ada to wins over South Africa 3-0, Germany 2-0, Bulgaria 1-0, South Korea 2-0 and Saudia Arabia 2-0. The team also tied a game against Algeria 1-1 and lost games to Thailand 1-0 and to England in penalty kicks to decide the fifth- and sixth- place finish- ers. Nichol- son, along with anoth- er Canadian teammate were named among the top defenders in the tourna- ment. Nichol- son, a Whitby resident, has been playing soccer for eight years, seven of which have come with Ajax FC. He currently trains in the YPY US Academy, where he was voted best player in his age group by coaches from Manchester Unit- ed, Bayern Munich and Benficia. The process to be named to the Danone Cup team started last fall for Nicholson in the first stages of selection camps. This year, another member of the Ajax club is giving it a go. Michael Washington was one of the players selected from a pool of more than 300 players from across the Greater Toronto Area. The 2012 event is tentatively scheduled for Japan. DREW NICHoLSoN provinCial Women’S hoCkey league Three games, three points for Lightning AJAX -- It was a busy three-game weekend for the Durham West Junior Lightning. Friday and Saturday was a home- and-home with the Burlington Junior Barracudas. In Burlington Friday, the Light- ning prevailed with a pair of Tay- lor Edwards goals in a 2-1 victory. Edwards’s power-play goal in the first was that period’s only goal, and she followed up with what turned out to be the game winner in the second, while the team held the Barracudas scoreless. Burlington managed a goal with just over two minutes on the clock in the third, but Durham held tough for the win. Goaltender Jackie Rochefort held off 27 shots in the win. On Saturday, it was the Light- ning’s turn to host the Barracu- das and the game was a tough one throughout. Both teams battled through the first period with no score. The Bar- racudas posted the first goal in the second, but Durham battled back with Laura Horwood scoring a power play goal at 6:39 and Taylor Edwards moving the team ahead at 10:40. Edwards opened the third with a second goal, on the power play, and the girls held the lead for half of the period, only to see it crumble under a flurry of Barracu- das goals that included an empty netter to seal Durham’s 5-3 loss. Edwards, Kennedy Marchment, SaraJane Pratt and Stephanie Coo- per all posted assists in the game, while netminder Kimberley Keller made 22 saves. On Sunday, the Lightning trav- elled to London to take on the Junior Devilettes in their third game of the weekend. Katey Arathoon scored the game’s first goal but London answered back with a power play goal to equalize. In the second, London scored the period’s only goal and then in the third, pulled ahead with a power-play goal early in the peri- od. Kennedy Marchment answered back with a power-play goal of her own, and then with seconds to go, Taylor Edwards tied the game 3-3 to send it into overtime. London managed an overtime goal with less than a minute to go for the overtime win, denying the Light- ning a second victory over them. This weekend, the Lightning (7-2- 1-1), will host a pair of games at the Ajax Community Centre, Saturday against Barrie (0-9-1-1) at 8:30 p.m. and Sunday against Toronto (13-0- 0-0) at 2:30 p.m. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 2, 201122 P Want to know what’s happening in Pickering?

Customers can also opt for fabric protection, an easy way to protect your vehicle’s fabrics from stains and spills. Treating the leather in your vehicle will help prevent cracking, stops the colour from fading and extends the life of the leather. To keep the new car shine, you can get paint seal protection, which will shield your paint from fading and excess oxidization. It also protects against acid rain, repels UV rays and prevents surface corrosion. In addition to detailing, you can bring your vehicle to Shammy’s to protect it from the elements. They offer two rust proofing services. The Dripless Oil System is an advanced treatment that does not drip off, offering superior results by leaving the protection where it should be - on your vehicle! They also offer Black Asphalt Undercoating & Clear Upper Body Rust Protection, which is a long lasting rust protection system that lasts the lifetime of your vehicle and also acts as a sound deadening for less road noise. This system dries solid, making it far superior to other products. Shammy’s offers free shuttle bus service for customers in Pickering, Ajax and Whitby. Shammy’s Auto Detailing is located at 933 Dillingham Road in Pickering. To make an appointment, please call (905) 831-2444 or for more information, please visit the website at www.shammysauto.com.

In the junior men’s draw, six teams com- peted, and three of them represented Annandale. Ben Bevan, Tyler Sagan, Cart- er Adair, Derreck Veitch and coach Jenni- fer McGhee won the A side. Matthew Hall, Mitchell Vance, Charlie Sheehan and Cody McGhee with coach Lesley Pyne came out of the B side. The team of Andre Lima with Dil- lon Pierce, Evan Hea- slip, David Dearness and coach Renee Lalonde was sidelined. Three win- ning teams advance to the Regional slated for Minden Dec. 3-4. A bantam girls’ team of Kaitlin Jewer, Emma Becker, Vanessa Aune and Alison Gardener, coached by Susannah Moylan, competed in the five-entry junior girls’ zone held in Uxbridge. The team gained experi- ence but was unable to advance. Annandale will host the Best Western Women’s Challenge and Fairfield Mariott Men’s Challenge zone 6 playdowns at the club on Dec. 9-11. The draws, which are eight-ends long, lead directly to a provincial final Jan. 20-22. Two winning teams from the double knockout zone will advance. The Annandale Mixed Doubles Clas- sic Bonspiel ran at the club on Nov. 26. It was double the fun in this first running of a planned annual bonspiel. There were 24 teams participating in this fundrais- er for the club’s 50th anniversary celebra- tions in the 2012-13 curling season. Team Hawk won the event with Team Joly sec- ond, Team McCrorie third and Team Mac- Fadyen fourth. The event was sponsored by Retz Renovations and Repairs, the Lion and Dragon Pub, the Portly Piper, and The Keg Steakhouse and Bar. It has been confirmed that Annandale had curling in their open- ing year of 1963, so the official fiftieth anni- versary will be celebrated in 2013. Appar- ently there was no curling club executive at that time, however the ice was in and used. Team Mark Kean, with Andrew Clay- ton and Annandale’s Tim March and Pat- rick Janssen, is slated to compete in an Ontario Curling Tour event, the Nissan Classic in Brantford Dec. 2-4. The team is then entered in the OCA Ontario men’s zone Dominion Tankard slated for Sut- ton Dec. 10-12. Two teams will advance to the regional at the Granite Club in January. The event eventually determines a team to represent Ontario for the Saskatoon Brier March 3-11. The CCA just announced that the 2013 Tim Hortons Brier will be played March 2-10 in the City of Edmonton. Jim Easson curling Teddy Bear Toss OSHAWA -- Oshawa Generals fans will be allowed to bring a guest into Friday’s game for free -- providing that guest is stuffed. The 14th annual Teddy Bear Toss Night will take place during tonight’s Ontario Hockey League tilt against the Sarnia Sting, a game that starts at 7:35 p.m. at the General Motors Centre. Fans attending the game are asked to bring new or nearly new teddy bears or stuffed ani- mals to the game, and immediately following the Generals’ first goal, toss them onto the ice. The toys will then be distributed to local charities.
