KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- As Holy Redeemer Catholic School celebrates 50 years, a committee has suggested it close down. An accommodation review committee (ARC) submitted three options to the director of education on Sept. 24 on how to address declining enrolment in Pickering’s Catholic elementary schools. All three options include consolidating Our Lady of the Bay and Holy Redeemer Catholic schools into a new 400-pupil facility.

Recently, the Town of Ajax voiced concerns about an environmental assessment to increase the amount of treated sewage, called effluent, released in Lake Ontario by the Duffin Creek water pollution control plant, located at the foot of Squires Beach Road in Pickering. The study and its findings are meant to prepare the plant, jointly owned by Durham and York regions, for growth in service. The plant’s existing outfall pipe, which releases treated sewage into the lake for mixing and dilu- tion, is about one kilometre offshore, under the lake bed. The regions are looking to spend $900 million to upgrade the plant’s outfall to release up to 630 million litres of treated sewage per day. Currently, it can release up to 540 million litres per day. Ajax is concerned the plant might be negatively impact- ing the Town’s waterfront. “There’s a difference of opinion basically,” said John Presta, Durham Region director of environmental servic- es. “I understand in one way that they’re saying that the near shore water quality’s being impacted, and yes the near shore water quality has been impacted by a number of factors, and a number of activities, but to say that it’s all the Duffins Creek plant ... in my opinion, is not correct.” Ajax staff wants more advanced filters put in place than are being considered in the study, which they say will remove higher levels of chemicals. “Right now the Region is meeting the minimum require- ments, when there’s greater technology out there,” said Jeff Stewart, Ajax manager of environmental services. Mr. Presta disagreed, stressing the plant meets all regu- latory requirements. “You’re comparing let’s say apples to cherries; well what more advanced technology do you expect?” he said. “We follow the regulatory requirements set by the Province and they’re all site-specific ... if the receiver of the treat- ed effluent from the plant is going into a small stream or a smaller lake, and considering all the other uses in the watershed, you would perhaps use a more advanced tech- nology ... what the outfall does is help to diffuse the treat- ed effluent into the lake, so the impacts are different.” Barb Hodgins, Ajax senior planner, said the Town does not believe dilution is an effective treatment method. Ajax also wants the regions to wait for a 2012-2014 Min- istry of the Environment study of water quality along the Ajax-Pickering shoreline, to ensure the relationship between effluent released by the plant and the excess growth of shoreline algae is completely understood. Mr. Presta said waiting for the ministry’s study is not necessary, and could stop the plant's expansion from being completed on time. He added the plant is one of the best around. “We produce a very high quality effluent,” he said. “The new Duffin Creek WPCP is now one of the most sophis- ticated and technologically advanced treatment facilities discharging to the open waters of Lake Ontario.” Both Ajax and Durham staff encouraged residents to find out more about the study by visiting www.durham. ca/outfallEA.

The men, whose identities were quickly established after the incident, surrendered and were charged with robbery and drug offences, Durham police said. Cops were contacted at about 4:20 p.m. Friday when an 18-year-old man walk- ing with his girlfriend was assaulted and robbed of a necklace near Whites Road and Finch Avenue, police said. The man’s girlfriend was also pushed to the ground, assaulted and had her cellphone taken. When a woman emerged from a nearby business to intervene, she too was pushed to the ground, police said. Police identified suspects after speaking to the victims and witnesses. Charged with robbery are Oliver Elli- ston, 21, and 19-year-old Jordaine Elliston, both of Strouds Lane in Pickering. Jordaine Elliston also faces charges of possessing cocaine and ecstasy for the purpose of traf- ficking. We have your business covered. Want more for your Advertising $$?

Bought winning ticket in Oshawa AJAX -- An Ajax resident recently cashed in a winning Poker Lotto hand for $100,000. Israel Delangel-Chavira scored the win in the Sept. 11 Poker Lotto draw. "I'm shocked," said the married, 44-year-old father of seven. "I couldn't believe it ... I'm so surprised, because I thought I won $10,000, but then the val- idation slip said $100,000." Not a regular Poker Lotto player, he decided to give the game a shot when he noticed others playing. Mr. Delangel-Chavira purchased his ticket at Family Convenience and Clean- er on Simcoe Street North in Oshawa, and plans to use his winnings to take his family on vacation. Poker Lotto can be played daily for $2, and offers both instant and nightly-draw wins. Ajax resident wins $100,000 lottery prize> > A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

My five-year-old son recently played his first season of junior T-ball with the Spartans, and quite frankly this organi- zation is top notch. From the moment we were introduced to the coach, to the final trophy day, there was never a lapse in organization, customer ser- vice or commitment to the sport. We have “tested the waters” of various other organized sports in Ajax, and I have to say that the Ajax Spartans is second to none. My son is only starting to learn about sports, and we seem to have found the per- fect niche for him. He is excited about play- ing and can’t wait until next year. Thank you Ajax Spartans for making a dif- ference in the world of a five year old. Wendy Grisbrook Ajax How would one describe ‘fed up’ in language guide? To the editor: Re: Durham public board over-reaches With language guideline, editorial, Sept. 21, durhamregion.com I would have to fully agree with the head- line that states that the Durham public school board is a little out of touch with real- ity. Today’s protocol is to call a janitor a cus- todian. Fine, I understand this with regards to a person’s employment and professional- ism and all that, but to suggest that we refer to someone who is Chinese as “a person from China”? Really? How can it be offen- sive to call a person their nationality? This is who they are. I would have to say ridiculous is out, political correctness to a ridiculous degree would have to be in. This is the problem with today’s Canadian society -- we are totally afraid to offend any- one. You cannot run a society successfully if you don’t at some point offend someone. At some point someone just has to say enough is enough. Canada used to be great, but somewhere along the lines we have lost our way. We have great programs in place where some- one feels they need to put their stamp on things and make things “better”. This “guide- line” is an example of one of these docu- ments. Concern about offending someone, while not fully coming to grips with the fact that the students are using the ‘F’ word and the ‘N ‘word on a daily basis in our schools and on our street seems laughable to me. For this reason, I am going to use this guideline for reference and in the future, please do not refer to me as a fed-up Cana- dian. I prefer you use the term, a person of Anglo-Caucasian Canadian heritage, with a background from a person of Italian heri- tage and a person of English heritage, who is fed up. You wouldn’t want to offend me. Brian Hunt Ajax Pity Frenchman’s Bay To the editor: It with no little irony that we note the City of Pickering’s efforts to bring additional tourism to Frenchman’s Bay. Ironic, because by placing the bay further in the public eye, it will highlight the long- term neglect this ecosystem has experienced at the hands of the City of Pickering and the Toronto Region Conservation Authority. Frenchman’s Bay drains a crowded urban watershed and is choking on contaminated urban waters and sediment including large volumes of road salt. While ‘state of the envi- ronment’ reports and remediation plans by the City over the last 20 years sit gathering dust in back rooms, the once-extensive wet- lands that surrounded the bay are further destroyed and the bay’s aquatic ecology and fishery measurably impaired. Essentially, the bay is functioning as a large stormwater retention pond. Widening the entrance to the bay at public expense -- the City does not own the charter to the entrance to Frenchman’s Bay -- does noth- ing to address the root cause of the bay’s problems which is the control of urban run- off in the watershed. The City is known for voicing its ‘sustain- ability practices’ but now needs to step up and take action before the waters of the bay are placed ‘off limits’ to the public. What was once the ‘jewel in the crown’ of Pickering is in terminal decline hastened by additional urban development in its watershed. David Steele, Pickering General Motors, CAW strike a workable bargain There’s a good chance that Durham res- idents employed at General Motors in Oshawa are waking up this morning to four years of labour peace. Though the voting numbers on the col- lective agreement hammered out last week are still being tallied, most indications are that the deal struck between the CAW and GM executives will be ratified and work will continue -- even expand slightly over the term of the contract -- at Oshawa’s assembly operations. The deal is not perfect for automotive workers, but in the current economic cli- mate, it represents the best they could bargain. CAW negotiators had clear-eyed expectations going in and recommend that members approve the contract. There are no wage increases over the term of the contract, a vital concession to assist the company in maintaining fixed costs. But members receive a $3,000 signing bonus and $2,000 lump sum payments in the second, third and fourth years of the contract. New hires will start at 60 per cent of the base wage rage (currently $34.19 per hour) and require 10 years of service before top- ping out. More importantly, the deal sets out oper- ating terms for the consolidated plant until 2014, with the possibility of a second shift being added. As well, the flex plant will have a third shift implemented in 2013, supporting 900 jobs. Credit is due to both sides for recognizing the limitations and the realities of today’s economy, while working to negotiate an agreement that serves the corporation and its employees. CAW chief economist Jim Stanford main- tained this week that GM’s Canadian oper- ations remain “very profitable” in spite of the parity of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. greenback, which makes our auto- motive exports more expensive. That, too, is a credit to the efforts of our automotive workers to efficiently manu- facture GM’s products. Economically, the future remains uncer- tain with ongoing debt crises in some Euro- pean nations and while the U.S. economy continues its struggle to find a more solid footing. This deal, in these circumstances at this time, sets a clear path for at least the next four years. It keeps people currently working at work and will create some new opportunities going forward. It’s not the best deal, certainly, but it’s the best that can be managed and which mutually benefits CAW workers and Gen- eral Motors. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Se p t e m b e r 2 8 , 2 0 1 2 6 AP du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Se p t e m b e r 2 8 , 2 0 1 2 7 AP TM WE KEEP OUR PATIENTS SMILING BY TAKINGTHE TIME TO UNDERSTAND THEIR NEEDS.

Reusable goods to be collected one Saturday a month JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Four local charities will benefit from a new pilot pro- gram that will give new life to old stuff. This fall, the Region of Dur- ham plans to launch Reuse Days in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Durham, Goodwill, the Canadian Diabetes Associa- tion and the Salvation Army. One Saturday a month, local residents will be able to drop off reusable items at one of the Region’s waste facilities at no charge. “We want quality reusable items,” says Craig Bartlett, the Region’s manager of waste oper- ations. “This is not an opportu- nity for people to get rid of their garbage, this is to give items a second life.” Examples include working appliances, sports equipment, toys, clothes and construction items such as windows, doors and drywall. The goal is to make it easier for people to donate. Instead of tak- ing used clothing to one drop-off location and construction items to another, everything can go to one spot, then be disbursed among the charities. “This is a wonderful example of how the Region is being inno- vative in finding ways to reduce landfill and meet its 70-per cent (waste diversion) target,” says Mary Bone, executive director at Habitat for Humanity Durham. She says construction items collected through Reuse Days will help stock Habitat’s ReStore locations in Oshawa and Ajax. The stores have recently been struggling with people leaving donations outside overnight that either don’t meet their criteria or get ruined by rain. “It’s increasing our garbage fees like crazy,” Ms. Bone says. She hopes Reuse Days will help by giving the public another easy option for dropping off dona- tions. If regional council gives the green light, the Reuse Days pilot project will run for one year. “This is taking waste manage- ment back to a grassroots level and reducing the amount of gar- bage we have in the first place,” Mr. Bartlett said.

All options would close St. Antho- ny Daniel and move French immersion from Holy Redeemer to St. Isaac Jogues. Boundaries would be redrawn for all options. The first option would also close St. Marguerite Bourgeoys, and the second would close St. Moni- ca. The third option would also relocate the French immersion at St. Elizabeth Seton to St. Monica, and close St. Marguerite Bourgeoys. Pickering East Shore Community Association pres- ident and Holy Redeemer alumnus Keith Falconer attended the meeting, as did most ARC members. He had shared the news at a recent Holy Redeemer anniversary celebration that if the board accepts any one of these plans, the school will close. “They’re really upset to hear the possible closure after reaching such a milestone,” he said. Holy Redeemer sits on the site that had Pickering’s first known school, which was established in 1669, he said. It has multiple access points to pick up and drop off students, and room to build portables or a new school. “It’s a big issue,” he said. “It disturbs me. We have a real unique and vibrant community and we’re one of the oldest communities in Pickering and PESCA is one of the oldest associations in Pickering.” Around 400 people have signed a petition asking the board to re-evaluate the ARC’s recommendation to close Holy Redeemer. The committee included principals, teachers, par- ents and a priest. The process took a total of 105 days, which included heavy research and discussion, working and public meetings. “In total about 3,000 hours of community consul- tation went into this report,” said ARC chairwoman and superintendent Tracy Barill. Data from Statistics Canada shows the population of pre-school children and school-aged children in Pickering has decreased in both cases by at least 2,000 since 1996. Since 2001, enrolment in Picker- ing’s Catholic elementary schools has declined by 1,465 students, and projections show there will be 891 vacant pupil places by 2021, resulting in a signifi- cant cost factor for both the board and the Province. However Oshawa trustee Stan Karwowski indi- cated that closing schools doesn’t coincide with the Places to Grow Act, a provincial planning docu- ment that states hospitals, long-term care facilities, affording housing, parks and schools are some of the important facilities needed to support Pickering in the future. Board director Paul Pulla will evaluate the options and submit a report to the trustees, which will be fol- lowed by a board meeting for public input. Mr. Pulla will then write a follow-up report, which will go to the board for final consideration, most likely be in early 2013.

Culture Days is back for the third year and is being celebrated across Cana- da, including lots of free, action- packed cultural events happen- ing here in Durham Region, from Sept. 28 to 30. What is Culture Days, you ask? Culture Days is a collaborative Canada-wide, volunteer move- ment designed to raise the aware- ness, accessibility, participation and engagement in arts and cul- ture. The festival celebrates cre- ative expression through free, hands-on, interactive activities that invite the public to partici- pate “behind the scenes” and discover the world of artists, cre- ators, historians, performers, architects, curators and designers at work. For you, this means there are dozens of interactive cultur- al activities happening in your own backyard this weekend -- and they’re free. Culture Days is a great opportunity for the com- munity to come together and cel- ebrate the rich culture and heri- tage that Durham Region has to offer. More than 50 events throughout all eight area municipalities in Durham Region have been regis- tered on the Culture Days website. I’m proud to say that for the third year in a row, Durham Region is one of the leading municipalities in Canada for the number of Cul- ture Days events taking place. For an updated list of these events, visit www.culturedays.ca. There is truly something for everyone -- from free digital pho- tography and Photoshop work- shops, to visiting a farm to learn how to spin raw wool into yarn. Your whole family is sure to be engaged with such a diverse offering of events.

F O R A F R E E C O N S U L T A T I O N Low E Glass Steel Doors, Patio Doors, Garden Doors Like fashion, interior design trends change with the seasons. Each month, different colours and patterns become the new “it” look, inspiring us to overhaul our home décor. Keeping up with the latest looks can be challenging, not to mention expensive. That's why it's important to remember that keeping your home décor modern isn't so much about buying trendy furniture as it is about being practical. Invest in timeless pieces that are suited to your lifestyle and create a calm environment. Delta Faucet, a leader in beautifying home interiors, offers the following tips to make sure your space will always feel fresh: Choose multi-functional products with hidden technology and beautiful design to create a modern feel. Think televisions hidden in cabinets, speakers mounted behind the wall, and sleek kitchen faucets with a hidden sprayer. Technology that seamlessly blends into a space will always feel new. Consider incorporating accessories in shades such as clean green, saffron, ocean blue, and magenta to create a soothing atmosphere that will never feel tired. “Adding sleek pieces in a colour that you'll always love – rather than a trendy colour – makes your style timeless, not to mention wallet-friendly,” says Jo Alcorn, a Toronto-based interior design expert. Update fabrics to those that feature timeless geometric designs, overlapping layers, or stripes. All of these can instantly make a home more contemporary without a large investment. Sleek and simple architectural details add maximum design impact and can become the focal point in any room. “Paying attention to your hardware including cabinet handles, light fixtures and even faucets can play a huge role in making your place look more modern,” says Alcorn. For instance, the strong, angular lines of the Vero lavatory faucet bring a sense of urban sophistication to the bathroom. See more at deltafaucet.ca. When considering furniture, look for pieces with glass or painted wood, and materials like coloured acrylic, fibreglass, and chrome. These features will ensure your choices stand the test of time. Nothing dates a space like clutter. Organize and store - or even neatly display - magazines, newspapers, and books. Electronic cords should be off the floor and not visible to keep your room looking neat and clean. www.newscanada.com Create a timeless look in your home Fall brings an abundance of farm fresh and local produce to heighten the flavour at your dinner table. This season, maximize your dining experience with your family and friends by following these four tips from KitchenAid Canada spokesperson and renowned chef Lynn Crawford: 1. Embrace the season: Autumn produces some of the most delicious and rich vegetablesof the year. It's important to use fresh ingredients that are in season as they not only taste better, but also allow you to embrace and celebrate the flavours of each season through the meals you create for family and friends. 2. Put fresh first: You want what's best for your family which is why creating meals with quality ingredients, to boost flavor and reap the full benefits of produce is so important. Using fresh ingredients also provides an abundance of nutritional value. Create a list of local farmers markets in your neighbourhood. Having the list on hand will entice you to add more fresh ingredients in your meals knowing that they are only a step away. 3. Keep them crisp: Those with a love of cooking know the impact that fresh ingredients have on a delicious meal – but we've all had to throw out fruits and veggies that spoil before we've had the chance to use them. Today, you can get refrigerators that actually help keep your food fresher longer. KitchenAid® refrigerators with Preserva™ Food Care System have innovative technology that keep your fridge and freezer at optimal humidity and temperature levels to extend and maximize the freshness of your food. For more information on new appliance options that make your life easier, visit www.kitchenaid.ca.*based on commonly purchased produce 4. Use up all your ingredients: How many times have you come home from the grocery store with something you already had stocked? Keeping your fridge clean and organized will not only assist you when looking at your inventory, but will also help save you money. It's time to make farm fresh and local a priority in the kitchen, and with new technologies, it's easier than ever to make seasonal a recurring theme for every meal. Seek inspiration from your local market and delicious meals will follow.

Short Story Contest, co-sponsored by the Ajax News Advertiser. The winners were recognized at Ajax council on Sept. 24. They are: JK to Grade 3, Adrienne Galvez, Grade 2, for My Summer Vaca- tion; Grades 4 to 6, Chantelle LaFrance, Grade 4, for Living a Play; Grades 7 and 8, Jawairia Mohammed, Grade 7, for Long Live Libraries!: and, Best of Con- test, Anthony Mercado, Grade 2, for The Unexpected Treasure Hunt. Here's Anthony's story. The rest of the winning stories will be posted at dur- hamregion.com at a later date. Anthony Mercado -- The Unexpected Treasure Hunt I was all set for a relaxing summer vacation, completely unaware of the fantastic adventure that was about to come my way. My friend Granville was on his com- puter at his house. Out of curiosity, he Googled the word ‘treasure’ and clicked on the name Jacques Cartier. Granville discovered that Cartier, the famous explorer, secretly built a fort in what is now known as Ajax! After many months Cartier became homesick and aban- doned the fort, but before he left Cana- da he buried treasure nearby to keep it hidden from his rival, Roberval. In 1991, the site of the crumbling fort was rebuilt into Cadarackque Public School. I was amazed when Granville came to my house and told me that Cartier’s treasure chest was buried at our school. Maybe it will be filled with gold, I thought. However, according to Wikipedia, the lost treasure of Cartier was a hoax. Granville asked me, “Do you think we have the intelligence to find the trea- sure?” “Yes, we do, and I have a plan,” I said. I asked my mom, “May we dig up Cart- ier’s lost treasure at our school?” She chuckled. “Yes, and bring me back some gold and diamonds, please.” “Thanks, Mom,” I replied. Granville and I packed my Jump Rope for Heart skipping rope and two spades. We biked to Cadarackque in 10-and-a- half minutes. Using Granville’s smart phone we double-checked Wikipedia for clues to the treasure’s location. The trea- sure was located at precisely 79.009845 degrees latitude and 43.860961 degrees longitude. It made sense that Cartier recorded the treasure’s location in navi- gational coordinates because he was a magnificent sailor. Quickly, Granville typed the coordi- nates into his portable GPS. Instantly, a robot lady’s voice said so many direc- tions that we didn’t reach our destina- tion until one hour later. After 90 minutes of digging, we hit hard ground. Exhausted, our spades slipped from our hands and into the hole. The spades cracked the hard ground below and we saw part of a metal container. I climbed down my skipping rope and into the hole as Granville held onto the other end. Suddenly, an angry voice from behind Granville said, “What are you boys doing?” A group of nosey teenagers wearing ripped jeans were staring straight at us. Unable to think of a lie I blurted out the truth. “We’re digging for the trea- sure Cartier buried here over 400 years ago.” “Buried treasure!? Keep digging, boys,” mocked the teens as they walked away laughing. “The truth worked again,” I said to Granville. Granville and I finished digging up the metal container. It wasn’t a trea- sure chest... it was a time capsule! We unscrewed the lid and looked inside. We could not believe our eyes. Books! The first book was entitled The Pirate Adventures of Gerrard and His Piglet by Lo Dilhems, the next book was The Magic Tree Fort by Larry Slope Cos- bourne and the last book was The Chron- icles of Narna Land by S.C. Kewis. When we saw all of Cartier’s child- hood books, Granville and I laughed quietly so as not to attract any attention. It wasn’t the gold we hoped for but it was amazing treasure anyway. We packed them under our arms and pedalled home. Mission completed. SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND AJAX -- The winners in the Ajax Public Library’s Imagine! Short Story Contest, co- sponsored by the News Advertiser, were recognized at Ajax council on Sept. 24. They are Chantelle LaFrance, Anthony Mercado, Adrienne Galvez and Jawairia Mohammed. > ‘‘After 90 minutes of digging, we hit hard ground. Exhausted, our spades slipped from our hands and into the hole.’ Season begins next week Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Oshawa Little Theatre kicks off a season of classics next week with Pygma- lion. George Bernard Shaw’s most popular play, it runs Oct. 4 to 20. Next up is Fiddler on the Roof, opening Nov. 22, followed by A Few Good Men (Feb. 7) and The Producers (March 28). “The season as we shaped it this year were plays that had life both on stage and on screen,” says the season’s executive pro- ducer, Michael Schneider. “Our theme is called from stage to screen.” He says when OLT members checked they were surprised that while they had put on the musical My Fair Lady, OLT had never in its 62-year history staged Pygmalion. And Schneider says it’s a bit of a challenge given the audience has pre-conceived notions based on their experience with the well-known 1964 Academy Award-winning film starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Har- rison. But he says there are major differences in, for example, the character of Henry Hig- gins, who “comes across quite differently” in the play. As well, the play does not have the happy ending seen in the movie. He says it was “a happy coincidence” that they are staging Pygmalion in its 100th anniversary year. Among the play’s themes are what’s on the surface and what lies beneath and the class system in early 20th century England, closely linked with language, which not only indicates where a person comes from but also their socioeconomic background. “As (Eliza Doolittle) develops she has her own identity,” Schneider says. “Higgins appreciates the ‘spark of fire’ she has, but doesn’t like her independence as much.” The cast features Paul Love, Dave Dren- nan, Deborah Jamieson and Kathy Knight of Whitby, Emily Marchand and Lisa Lynch of Brooklin, Oshawa’s Brandon Ride- out, Ajax’s Brittney Taylor, Ted Powers of Stouffville and Kelly Preeper of Toronto. Fiddler on the Roof also comes with pre- conceived audience notions and almost speaks for itself. “It’s one of the most beloved musicals,” Schneider says. “I’m directing that one and it has a close place in my heart.” He notes “Fiddler’s really hot this year” in that restrictions that had prevented com- munity theatre groups from staging it have been removed. The story, set in Russia in 1905, revolves around Tevye, a man trying to hold on to his family and Jewish religious traditions, threatened by outside influences. Custom and tradition, what’s expected of us are major themes in the work. And Sch- neider says it has relevance in 2012. “Even in our world right now, we’re being so rigidly divided in our world views,” he says. “You see Tevye struggling with that, learning to expand his world view. “In the end, he finally acquiesces a little bit.” He says the story is so universal that peo- ple in any culture can relate to it and that explains why it’s such a popular work all over the world. Oshawa Little Theatre is at 62 Russett Ave. Tickets are available at oshawalittlethe- atre.com, at the theatre box office and at the United Way kiosk in the Oshawa Centre mall. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Se p t e m b e r 2 8 , 2 0 1 2 15 AP RegentTheatre Friday, November 16, 2012 8 p.m. Tickets$35 plus taxes and service charge www.regentheatre.ca RegenttheatRe 905.721.3399 50 King StReet, OShawa The Trews Acoustic2012brings youupcloseandpersonalwith oneof Canada’s premier rockbands.Their13 Top10singles,and 900+world-wideperformances,includingsupport slotsforthe likesofKISS,The Rolling Stones,Bruce Springsteenand Guns NRoses, speak to thekindofband The Trewsare andguaranteesan awesome rock experience. 6 rebmevoN elbaliavA yrros m’I dna uoy knaht...

But they most often worry about what’s beneath their bed. And in ‘It Came From Under The Bed’, imaginary monsters come to life to populate a child’s bedroom in a unique installation at the Scugog Arts Resource Centre Gallery. Scugog artist Andres Musta is once again holding a show in Port Perry, collaborating with Toronto artist Joachim Lau. The joint show features paintings, prints, stickers, drawings, plush toys and sculptures in an installation that’s a perfect fit for Halloween. Monsters, ghouls and gore are the order of the day, er, night. “It’s definitely fun and it’s always a lot of tongue-in-cheek, a little campy,” Musta says in an interview. “It’s hard to take the (crea- tures) seriously. “These creatures are our alter egos ... part of who we are right now as artists on our artistic journey.” A Scugog resident for roughly seven years, Musta teaches art at Gandatsetiagon Public School in Pickering and monsters, especial- ly zombies, are his major subject matter and theme. And he often uses the medium of stickers to portray them, noting it’s so acces- sible for people to, for example, put a stick- er on a bicycle so that the work “becomes a part of your life.” Musta’s stickers are in 10 to 20 international shows a year in places such as Brazil, Italy and the U.S. He notes there seems to be a groundswell of do-it-yourself art these days and he’s happy to be a part of “anything that popularizes art.” His Facebook page describes his profession as ‘art ambassador’ and Musta has taught art at summer camps virtually every year since he was 16. He enjoys being with youngsters and getting them energized about art. He also enjoys collaborating with a fellow artist for a show, as he did earlier this year in Dead of Winter with Scugog artist Dave Trant at the Kent Farndale Gallery. “Each artist brings out a different quality to my work or makes my work come out differ- ently,” he says. Musta met Lau, a professional graphic designer, last year at Nuit Blanche in Toron- to. And while their approaches are different, with Lau’s pieces “very precise,” they’re on the same wavelength thematically. “We’ve collaborated on several stickers and paintings and we’re bringing in a bunch of our own stuff as well,” he says of the show. As for where his interest in monsters and zombies comes from, Musta says “that’s more complicated.” He recalls growing up hearing a lot of war stories from relatives and seeing pictures from the First and Second world wars. “Maybe it’s just a coping mechanism, try- ing to digest it and not be scared of it,” he muses. It Came From Under The Bed opens with an artist reception Oct. 6 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the resource centre, 181 Perry St., Unit G-1.

Monsters and mayhem from Pickering teacher FLICKR.COM PORT PERRY -- Scugog artist Andres Musta has collaborated with Toronto art- ist Joachim Lau to create It Came From Under The Bed. The multi-media art instal- lation is at the Scugog Arts Resource Centre Gallery from Oct. 6 to 27. > PI C K E R I N G PI C K E R I N G AD V E R T I S I N G F E A T U R E During these tough economic times, businesses need an affordable way to advertise their products and services and create a name for themselves in the community. The Focus on Business advertising feature was designed to help businesses succeed at an affordable price. The feature has five zones: Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington, and advertisers can choose to run in any number of them. If they want to target a specific area, they can choose one zone or if they want broad coverage they can choose to run in all five. Advertising packages are available for six weeks, 18 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks, and discounted rates are available for longer- term commitments. “I have nothing but good things to say about the Focus on Business feature,” says Wayne Hutchison, owner of Durham Windows and Doors, who has been advertising in the feature for 15 years. Having an ad in the newspaper every week helps businesses build recognition. Readers who see the advertisement on a regular basis become familiar with the business. Running in the section long term shows potential customers that the business is consistent and is there for the long term. The feature includes a 3” wide by 1.5” deep ad, but the best part is the free editorial that comes with each six week run. The articles will talk in-depth about the business and can include a photograph or image. Many advertisers find that the articles provide a surge in phone calls and sales. The articles allow readers to learn more about the businesses, including detailed information about the products and services they offer. Many advertisers have seen a dramatic increase in their bottom line because of advertising in the section. For more information on the Focus on Business feature or to book an ad, please call Connie Baker at (905) 579-4400 ext. 2271 or email cbaker@durhamregion.com.

TM windows for life! www.durhamwindowsanddoors.ca SportsSports Brad Kelly- Sports Editor • bkelly@durhamregion.com Senior team looks to defend title, juniors want to prove they belong BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Notre Dame has doubled their chances of winning their own tournament this weekend. The school will have two entries in the Notre Dame/News Advertiser Senior Girls’ Basketball Tournament this weekend, as the senior team will look to defend its title, while the junior team will try to prove it belongs in older competition. Eight teams are entered in this year’s tournament, with six representatives from LOSSA and two from Toronto. “I think this is our strongest field ever,” says senior girls’ head coach Rose Book- er, who added the senior team will stay together and the junior team at the school will round out the group of eight. “We want to keep our main core togeth- er, but our juniors are strong,” she adds. “We just want to give them the chance to get some experience playing at a higher level.” In addition to the two Notre Dame teams, J. Clarke Richardson, Dunbarton, Pickering and Father Leo Austin round out the slate of teams from LOSSA, as the opening tip was held at noon. Pope John Paul and Eastern Commerce round out the field. Seven games are slated for Fri- day, with another five on Saturday, includ- ing the consolation final at 11:30 a.m. and the championship final at 2:30 p.m. As usual, Notre Dame is off to a strong start this season, reaching the final at the Kingston Limestone tournament on the strength of four wins in a row, only to be denied the title with a 41-34 loss in the championship game to Campion of Brampton. In league play, they are 2-0 after registering wins over J. Clarke and Donald A. Wilson. “Although we have a loss early in the sea- son, it gave us a lot of things that we have to work on,” says Booker. A perennial contender for the LOSSA title, Note Dame’s roster was bolstered this year with the return of Brianna Thomas, who was offered a scholarship, but decid- ed to return to school for another year to get healthy after suffering a knee injury last season. Thomas has been moved to guard this season after providing rebounding and scoring from the inside last year. Another player who is already draw- ing attention from universities is Lorraine Enabulele, a Grade 11 student. Adding to the depth is Jazzy Simons who works the boards down low, and Kimeshia Henry, a talented point guard. Looking ahead as the season unfolds, Booker says she expects her team to be strong once again, and is looking to take the next step. The past two years, Notre Dame has reached the LOSSA final, only to lose to Pickering in a pair of close games. In 2010 Pickering won 60-54, and last year, Pickering slipped by 38-34. “Our goal other years is we always want to get to the LOSSA final. Now we want to get to the LOSSA final, but we want to get back to OFSAA,” says Booker. “We’ve been a couple baskets away from going to OFSAA the last two years. We’re really focused on getting back to OFSAA this year.” The provincial OFSAA championships are in London from Nov. 22-24. >Notre Dame doubles chances JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND AJAX -- The Notre Dame Lady Cougars senior team will be looking to defend its title at this weekend’s Notre Dame/News Advertiser Senior Girls’ Basketball Tournament. Team members include: Alicia Chua, Jade Codinera, Maddie Dender, Stephanie D’Ornellas, Shaniqua DeGannes-Meikle, Lorraine Enabulele, Kimeshia Henry, Deline Hopkinson, Julia Lagman, Jazzy Simons, Taija Thomas, Brianna Thomas. Sports Briefs Junior Lightning win one, lose one AJAX -- The Durham West Junior Lightning will be looking for one better when they return to Provincial Women’s Hockey League play this weekend. Opening the season last weekend with a trip to the east side of the province, the Lightning came out even, winning 3-1 in Nepean, but dropping a 5-2 decision to Ottawa the following day. In the win, the Lightning scored a goal in each period to take a 3-0 lead. Brittany St. James, Taylor Edwards on the power play and Kennedy March- ment had the goals. A power-play goal with just 3:15 remaining spoiled the shutout bid of Jackie Roche- fort. Sunday in Ottawa the teams were tied 2-2 after two periods as Carly Marchment and Dana Fairbarn scored power-play goals. But Ottawa had a power- play goal in the third, added another just over a min- ute later and closed out the scoring with an empty- net goal with under two minutes to play. The Lightning will head east for a game in Kingston on Friday night, returning for the home opener at the Ajax Community Complex on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Thomas on a long, winding road to NCAA AJAX -- It’s been an interesting road to the NCAA for Pickering’s Kevin Thomas. The six-foot-eight forward, who can play the three or four spot, is in the process of being recruited by at least a half dozen university programs south of the border, according to a report published at north- poolhoops.com. Interest is coming from the likes of Minnesota, St. Bonaventure, Oregon, Marshall, Washington State and Tennessee. This coming after one season as a freshmen starter at Palm Beach State, a junior college program in Florida. A former Pickering High School athlete, Thomas filled the stat sheet, averaging nearly nine points a contest, over 10 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.8 steals and 2.3 blocks a game. The third-ranked Canadian player in the class of 2011 by North Pole Hoops, Thomas was slated to join the No. 1-ranked player from that class, Myck Kabongo, at the University of Texas last season, but was deemed ineligible, according to the report. With that now behind him, Thomas is slated to make a decision on his future and will have two more years of NCAA eligibility remaining to play following this season for whichever school he decides to sign with.

Games have been played at the tier one senior and junior level, while a host of changes have been made at the various other levels across the board. Week 1 - Tier I senior Paul Dwyer 14, Pickering 0 Ryan Dixon, returning to LOSSA football after a two- year absence, opened the scoring with a 28-yard run as the Paul Dwyer Saints made a successful return to tier one football with the shutout win. Reshaan Davis added the other score in the third quarter as he blocked a Pickering punt attempt and returned the ball 44 yards for a touchdown. Week 1 - Tier I junior Pickering 14, Paul Dwyer 0 O’Shea Williams was on the receiving end of two touchdown passes in the third quarter to lead the Trojans to an opening- week victory. The high- light of the two came when Williams caught a pass that deflected off the out- stretched finger tips of a Saint defender and then ran the ball 73 yards to the end zone to break up what had been a defensive strug- gle. Elsewhere around LOSSA, there were no games scheduled in the tier two loop during week one action. DURHAM -- The Ajax-Pick- ering Dolphins were vic- torious on all three fronts in their heated rivalry weekend against the Scar- borough Thunder as the atoms, peewees and ban- tams reigned triumphant. The Dolphins’ atom team was successful in a one- sided game with a final score of 30-0. Key defen- sive plays were made by Kelly McBride, Jonathan Wieder, Evan Armitage, Aamarii Notice and Evan Goudogiannis. Equally, the Dolphins offence displayed an excellent running game as Callum Brake, Aaron Chung and Jacob Grimes left everyone in the dust as they tore toward the end zone whenever they held the ball. The Dolphins’ peewee team was successful as well, but with a harder- fought game. With the Dol- phins leading throughout the game, the Scarborough Thunder fought to even out the score, but couldn’t come up with anything when they met the obsti- nate Dolphins’ defence at the end of the game. Impressive defensive plays were shown by the entire Dolphins defence, but Cris- tian Claros-Ayala, Hayden Dwyer and Rohan Gran- ston stood out in the pack. Offensively, the Dolphins had great offensive plays by Ethan Smith, Devonte Campbell and a spectacu- lar display of running-back skills by Kevon Jamieson- Hanson. By far the most exciting game of the day was the electrifying bantam game. Before anyone knew it, the Thunder had a pair of touchdowns on the board and a 14-0 lead. Daniel Davy scored a touchdown with a burst of speed, but the Dophins were still behind by eight. Scarbor- ough scored another two touchdowns with time run- ning out in the first half. Again, Daniel Davy drove the ball into the end zone, leaving the first half with a 27-12 score favouring the Thunder. As the third quar- ter drew to an end Davy scored another touch- down, scampering down the side of the field. In the fourth quarter, heavy hits were doled out by Aiden Kruger, Alexander Douc- ette, Nathaniel Chung. Terayus Carter scored points defensively when he snatched up a fumble and ran it in for a game-chang- ing touchdown that left the Dolphins down by only two points. Again the Dolphins recovered a fumble from the Thunder as Cameron Tabatabaei nailed the ball carrier and ripped the ball from his hands. With the chance they’d been given, the Dolphins capitalized on their possession when Daniel Davy ran almost 100 yards for a touchdown for a 32-27 Dolphins victo- ry.
