He’s joining in the Walk for ALS to raise awareness about the debilitating disease.Fighting a fiery battle for life PICKERING RESIDENT, A FIREFIGHTER, TO HIKE FOR ALS BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Three years ago, Jim MacIntosh was the captain at Toronto Fire Station 122, and not only rescued civilians, but fellow firefighters who were hurt on the job. Now he’s fighting a different battle. The Pickering resident has ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), or Lou Gehrig’s disease, which is non-curable, progressive and fatal. The degen- eration of a select group of nerve cells and path- ways in the brain and spinal cord leads to pro- gressive paralysis in those affected; it can become very costly to accommodate the patient’s needs. “I would like to see people become more aware of the financial need the ALS Society (of Ontario) is in,” the 31-year firefighter veteran said from his Pickering home. The father of three’s muscles began weakening in August, 2006, and he was diagnosed with ALS that November. When he got the news that he only had three to five years to live, it took a while to sink in. “It takes you a long time to truly absorb that,” he See DISEASE page 7 NEWS 2 Cyclist struck Durham woman hit in Pickering airlifted to hospital EDUCATION 3 Kilts stay in Durham No plan to change dress code at schools SPORTS 12 Paddle power Pickering dragon boat crews win at nationals ne w s 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 3 , 2 0 0 9 2 AP FREEFREE ADMISSION, ADMISSION, PARKING, S H U T TLE PARKING, S H U T T L E SERVICE & SERVICE & LIVE LIVE NONSTOP NONSTOP ENTERTAINMENT ENTERTAIN M E N T Lakeview Park ~ Oshawa, September 11th, 12th & 13th Friday ~ 12 Noon to Midnight Saturday ~ 11:00 a.m. to Midnight Sunday ~ 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ❖ Armstrong Funeral Home Ltd. ❖ BMO Bank of Montreal ❖ Franklin Tint ❖ Waste Management ❖ Great Clips ❖ Durham Regional Police Association ❖ Great Blue Heron Charity Casino ❖ Long & McQuade ❖ Skyfox Games ❖ Hooters Whitby ❖ Owasco RV Centre ❖ C.J.

Police say they were called to Bayly Street and Krosno Boulevard around 5:40 p.m. The woman was riding her bicycle eastbound on the sidewalk of Bayly Street, east of Krosno Boulevard, when she went onto the road and was struck by an eastbound SUV. She was treated locally, then airlifted to St. Michael’s hospital in Toronto with life-threatening head trauma. She was not wearing a helmet at the time of the acci- dent, police say. The driver of the SUV, a 49-year-old Pickering man, was not injured. If you have information about the investigation: CALL 905-579-1520 Ext. 5256 (Det. Const.

But while some schools are making headlines for banning kilts, Durham Catholic District School Board locations won’t be on the list just yet. “We have not had any issues come to board level from schools where they’re thinking of dropping the kilt,… said Paul Pulla, Durham Catholic’s director of education. In the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board, only six of 25 high schools still allow kilts. The board began phasing them out several years ago after some students continuously refused to obey length rules. Mississauga’s Philip Pocock Catholic School opted to ban the kilt this Septem- ber. “I don’t know the circumstances of why that decision was made,… Mr. Pulla said when asked to comment on the recent ban. “It’s another board, another school. Unless you know the details, it’s kind of out of context.… In Halton, two of eight Catholic high schools have banned the kilt, while two are currently in the process of following suit. Mr. Pulla doesn’t anticipate any of Durham’s high schools will be banning them at this time. “But, ultimately, it’s a decision of the local school community to review its dress code and make amendments to it,… he added. All of the Durham board’s high schools offer the kilt and slacks as a uniform option, he said. Removing the item from a school would occur at the local level, not through the school board, he added. The board has an ‘appropriate dress for pupils’ policy, which stipulates framework for appropriate dress codes, Mr. Pulla said. It’s usually the vice-prin- cipal who’s responsible for monitoring that wardrobe requirements are met, he added. School student dress codes also have to be reviewed every three years in con- sultation with Catholic school councils. A school could make amendments to its code without the school board’s knowledge, but Mr. Pulla’s confident he’d know if an outright ban on kilts occurred. Whenever something is outright banned, you get the globalization of people who do and don’t support it, he added. - With files from Torstar news services EDUCATION Durham Catholic schools keeping the kilt PHOTO COURTESY OF JUPITER IMAGES DURHAM -- The lengths of the kilts worn by Catholic high school students in Durham has sparked debate as the new school year is set to begin. ne w s 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 3 , 2 0 0 9 4 P The Regional Municipality of Durham Works Department 605 Rossland Rd.

The proposed work includes: road reconstruction, traffic signals, street lighting, installation of new curb and gutter, storm sewer reconstruction, watermain replacement, concrete sidewalk, asphalt multi-use path and landscaping improvements. Altona Road will be closed to through traffic as detailed below. ALTONA ROAD CONSTRUCTION STAGING Stage One (2009) Eight-week road closure from Sept. 8 to Oct. 30, from 100 metres north of Kingston Road to north of the Brookridge / Valley Gate intersection. Stage Two and Three (Spring/Summer 2010) Road closures and lane restrictions from Brookridge/Valley Gate intersection to Sheppard Avenue/Twyn Rivers intersection. The staging plan above will minimize impact to residents and businesses, while providing a safe work zone for the construction. All local businesses will remain open during the road closures and will be accessible at all times by pedestrians. Residents are asked to exercise additional caution for the safety of the workers. Unfavourable weather conditions may influence the work schedule. The Region realizes that the work will be disruptive and will make every effort to complete the work as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Navy League Cadets is open to boys and girls aged nine to 13 and Sea Cadets is for youth 12 to 18. “They go swimming, they go skating, they have movie nights, they do all sorts of things throughout the year,” said Lynda Piccione, president of the Ajax-Pickering Navy League Branch. They also learn about first aid, seaman- ship, boats and sailing. The fee to join is $50 for the year and covers insurance for each child. There are subsidies to help families who need it and uniforms are loaned to all cadets for free. Ms. Piccione points out that Navy League is the only cadet corps open to the younger age group in Ajax and Pickering. The cadets also go on a number of trips and Ms. Piccione said there’s an opportunity to cover the cost through fundraising. Trips in the past have included Norfolk, Virginia, and this year the Sea Cadets are considering a trip to the Northwest Territories or Nuna- vut. Ms. Piccione has five children and they’ve all been involved with cadets. Her youngest, 11-year-old Natalie, recently spent a week on a retired coast guard trip on Georgian Bay with her fellow Navy League Cadets. “It was a great experience,” said Natalie. Sheldon Mellis joined cadets as a 10 years old. Heading to Ryerson University in the fall, the 18 year old is now in his last year for cadets. He said he was a shy child and through the organization, he got the oppor- tunity to meet new people and experience new things he wouldn’t have otherwise. As the older cadets go through the pro- gram, they can learn various trades. Mr. Mel- lis tried out the bosun trade which involves things like how to tie different knots and general naval knowledge about ships and history. “Yes, there’s discipline in the cadet program, but I believe is helps you as a per- son,” said Mr. Mellis. Sea Cadets who attend camp in the sum- mer to master their trades get a pay cheque and many students consider it a summer job. His experience also helped him score a job recently with a catering company. “The man told me the reason he hired me was because I was in the cadet program,” said Mr. Mellis, adding he also easily accrued his community service hours for high school through cadets. For more information on Navy League and Sea Cadets in Ajax and Pickering call 905- 427-0482. Registration opens in early Sep- tember and the program runs until June once per week in Ajax.

DESIGNER SUNGLASSES SALE Ajax, Pickering drivers urged to be cautious, parents encouraged to go over contingency plans BY CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Before school starts next week, there are some basics families might want to review together. Things such as what to do if a student gets off at the wrong bus stop are some good points to go over before sending kids back to school Tuesday, Sept. 8, said Mark Joel, a Durham District School Board superintendent. “Parents should review who is a stranger and what to do in the event where someone is a stranger,” Mr. Joel said. Many parents also establish a safe password to use if someone else is picking up their child from school, he added. “So review the communication pieces,” Mr. Joel said. Keeping teachers in the loop is important because they have the greatest contact with a student throughout the day, he added. Let them know if a child is allowed to go home for lunch and other schedule details, Mr. Joel said. He also advised parents to review Internet safety, such as being careful about what stu- dents are writing and making sure they don’t include personal information or say mean things. With school supplies, parents should clearly label school equipment, such as pencil cases, backpacks and other items, in case they’re lost. If parents aren’t comfortable with a name being visible on the outside of something, they can put it inside with proper information on how to return the item. If kids are walking to school, they are encour- aged to do so in groups for safety, said Paul Pulla, the Durham Catholic District School Board’s director of education. “I think the main thing for parents is to remind their children of the basic safety rou- tines,” Mr. Pulla said. For kids taking buses, families should review fall-back plans for what to do if parents get home late, or if a student gets off at the wrong bus stop. The general rule for getting off at the wrong stop is to wait where you are, Mr. Joel said. Any adult who sees someone not being picked up is asked to call the school right away, he added. Although bus drivers have a list, there’s always the possibility of mix-ups at the begin- ning of the school year, he said. “We transport 28,000 students every day,” Mr. Joel said. Parents should also go over road safety strat- egies, such as looking both ways before cross- ing a street and waiting for a crossing guard to tell you the way is clear, he added. Adults are also encouraged to be on the look- out, especially in school safety zones. “We have approximately 70,000 students returning to school in September,” Mr. Joel said, and that’s just for the public school board. The Catholic board has about 23,000 stu- dents returning. At kiss-and-rides at schools, drivers need to be extra careful because kids might dodge in and out between cars, he said. “If everyone takes a bit of extra caution ... then we’ll have a smarter start as usual,” he said. EDUCATION Start school safely PHOTO BY SHANNON MAGUIRE OSHAWA -- Matthew and Cameron Stephenson, along with Ethan Girard, were full of excitement on Aug. 22 while they prepared to learn all about the safety involved with riding a school bus. The boys will start kindergar- ten in September, and their parents took advantage of the safety course offered by Durham Student Transportation Services. & A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

We were delighted to read Reka Szekely’s article on Jenna-Lynn Higgins. We are avid fans of So You Think You Can Dance Can- ada and Jenna-Lynn sure can dance. We’re thrilled to have ‘one of our own’ as a partici- pant in this competition. We are asking Ajax residents to watch the show on Tuesday nights and to support Jenna-Lynn by pick- ing up the phone and voting for her. There is no cost involved if you use a landline and you can vote for her as many times as you like. Wouldn’t it be amazing if Jenna-Lynn won this competition? It could happen. She is a beautiful dancer and her personality is full of spunk and sass. Jenna-Lynn could go far in this competition but she needs every- one to pick up the phone to vote for her. Karen and Pat Stewart Ajax Age of Majority card should be accepted as government-issued ID To the editor: I am a first-year college student who is somewhat appalled by what I learned while trying to pick up my O.S.A.P loan. The Ontario Student Assistance Program offers loans and grants to students who may not otherwise have the financial means to go to school. My being there was more a final step in many to completing all paperwork that would essentially give me access to my loan. I sat through a tutorial and then had to sign some final papers before heading to one last desk to have it all stamped and deemed official. While there, we were asked to pres- ent government-issued identification, some sort of valid bank statement and a social insurance card. I did as asked and was then informed that my Age Of Majority card would not be accepted as ID. I then went on to state that the Age Of Majority card is government-issued I.D. and because I don’t drive, I have no other form of identifica- tion. She told me that the only way I would then be able to obtain my O.S.A.P and grant would be to get a passport. What I am still trying to fathom is why our “lovely” government system creates an Age Of Majority card (which is not free nor is it cheap) to use as ID and then allow a fellow government-run business to refuse the card that the same government also created. The only answer I could come up with is to make more money. Something our gov- ernment seems to do best. In the middle of a recession does it really seem fair that they can still push people to pay for things they can’t afford? Better yet now they’re involv- ing already struggling college students. Way to go, Dalton McGuinty. Cassandra Turner Whitby Former smoker appreciates efforts of quitting trio To the editor: Re: Quitting: It’s a drag As a former smoker I think it is a great public service that you’re providing to the people who are trying to quit smoking. I only wish I could have had that help when I was trying. I can tell you first-hand that quitting will be the hardest thing these people will do in their lives. I have been following the blogs and find them very interesting. One in particular I look forward to reading and get quite a kick out of is that from Marvin Whidden. It brings me back to when I was quitting, but with some humour. I hope he will continue to write a blog after the smoking program is over. Paul Somerset Ajax Skip the federal election and try governing for a change Rumours of a federal election for this fall should remain just that: rumours. After all, should we be forced to endure yet another cross-country electoral mar- athon? It would be the fourth time in just over five years we would head to the polls. The likelihood of a fourth straight minority government would be better than an even-money bet. So why bother? The only reason an election will occur is because some small-minded politi- cians in the walled-off world of Parlia- ment Hill will think it’s necessary. They will convince themselves, just like they did in October 2008 and January 2006, that they can win a majority. And they will be shocked, once again, when they don’t. The polls currently show the Liberals and Conservatives in a virtual dead heat. And, once the dust settles on a rumoured fall election, one of those parties will form a minority government because neither one has the strength to win a majority. Once you do the math, the Bloc Que- becois and the NDP have enough com- bined strength in just the right geograph- ic places to deny the Conservatives and Liberals the crucial seats they need to go over the top. Neither the Conservatives nor the Lib- erals is strong enough in Ontario or the west to sweep the other away, so, once again, you’re looking at another minor- ity. Just 10 months since the last election, we are only beginning to recover from the worst recession since the Great Depres- sion. It’s time for all parties to stop poll- watching and start legislating. We need more work on the economy, on job cre- ation, on policies in Afghanistan, on cli- mate change and on a whole host of other issues. There’s more than enough work to go around to keep our MPs busy on Parlia- ment Hill rather than out on the hus- tings. Most importantly, it’s quite clear the public is getting sick and tired of being harangued by politicians who badger us with relentless attack ads and election signs, year after year Election fatigue is taking its toll on the electorate. If federal politicians want a slogan for this year, they can try this one: Just say ‘no’ to an election in 2009. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ newsdurhamregion.com ne w s 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 3 , 2 0 0 9 6 P WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com ne w s 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 3 , 2 0 0 9 7 P NISSAN VERSA HATCH PRICEMATCH GUARANTEE JOB LOSS PROTECTION ON EVERY VEHICLE PURCHASED NISSAN The Bond between Motion and You.

Mr. MacIn- tosh was unable to work and went on long- term disability. He still misses the day-to-day banter with his colleagues, who became like a second family to him. “I miss being with the guys at work. I really do.… His wife and high-school sweetheart, Nancy, has chosen to stay home with her husband. The couple gets daily help from organizations such as Community Care Access Centre. “He couldn’t be left alone from the very early stages of the disease,… she said, explain- ing she used to find her husband on the garage floor when he’d gone to take out the trash, for example. Mr. MacIntosh quickly experienced the effects of the disease. In the summer of 2007, he started using a walker and in the spring of 2008 he became bound to his wheelchair. He’s been on a breathing machine for almost a year and has very minimal use of his mus- cles. Now, Mr. MacIntosh can do four things, his wife explained. He can chew on his own, talk, watch television (although he can- not hold the remote) and play online poker as long as someone holds his hand on the mouse. “One of the most frustrating things is I’ve never gotten to hold my granddaughter,… he said. The financial strain is a burden and Mr. MacIntosh hopes people will become more knowledgeable of the disease and begin donating to the ALS Society to help others in his situation. Mr. MacIntosh listed the costs from the dis- ease in his own situation. An accessible van cost $50,000, a bathroom renovation cost $20,000, an adjustable hospital-type bed was $3,000 and the ramps to the front door were $2,000. “We’ve already (put in) well over $80,000 of our own money,… he said. “Without the ALS Society, you could probably put on another $15,000.… Mr. MacIntosh is pushing for as many donations as possible for the upcoming Hike for ALS and Family Day. Despite his barriers, he and his family have participated in events such as WALK for ALS and the ALS Society of Ontario’s advocacy day at Queen’s Park. Mr. MacIntosh can’t take his wheelchair on the trail, but will be at the hike to cut the ribbon. “The ALS society of Ontario has been won- derful to us,… Mrs. MacIntosh said. The majority of donations go toward an equipment pool, Mr. MacIntosh said, while the rest go to research. He’s benefitted from a lift chair, wheelchair and bath lift from the pool. The Hike for ALS and Family Day will take place on Saturday, Sept. 12 at the Kor- tright Centre for Conservation in Vaughan (9550 Pine Valley Dr.).

Your ﬁ nances? Your health? It’s nor- mal to feel occasional anxiety in everyday life, but one in ﬁ ve Canadians experience something far more intense than that. If your stress is so persistent that it interferes with your daily activi- ties, your self-esteem, your relationships or your peace of mind, you may be one of six million Canadians who suffer from an anxiety disorder. Most commonly, people with anxiety disorders engage in dam- aging behaviours to try and lessen their anxiety, such as avoiding circumstances that make them anxious. “It’s this curtailing of activities that causes continued distress,” explains clinical psychologist Dr. David Direnfeld, director of the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in Ajax. “When you stop going to parties or driving or even leaving the house, it makes you feel that life is shrinking around you—that you’re trapped in a prison of worry.” “The erosion of our self-conﬁ dence and self-worth is often ac- companied by depression—a pervasive sense of hopelessness, sadness or lack of self-worth,” explains Dr. Direnfeld. The good news here, according to our expert, is that all of the conditions listed above (and plenty more) are treatable by a licensed professional—and often, treatment need not involve medication. One form of “talk therapy” known as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) has been shown to be as effective as medication for the treatment of anxiety disorders and depression in the short term, and in many cases, more effective at preventing relapse in the long term. In fact, studies involving brain-imaging scans show that CBT Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE Fear, sadness and worry are treatable conditions Simple “talk therapy” can yield same or better results than medication, studies show produces biochemical changes in the brain that are similar, if not identical to the effects of medication. “The major differ- ence,” explains Dr. Direnfeld, “is that with talk therapy, the risk of side-effects is nil.” These facts, along with thousands of clinical studies support- ing its effectiveness, have earned CBT recognition by Health Canada as the only validated non-medical treatment for anxiety disorders and depression. CBT is a short-term, goal-oriented, forward-looking approach to personal change. It operates on a simple premise: that the way we feel (anxious or fearful, for example) is a result of our thoughts and innermost beliefs, as well as our behaviours. “All of our beliefs are the cumulative effects of our life expe- riences,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “At times, we may ﬁ nd ourselves with irrational, inaccurate beliefs that are the result of experi- ences that happened earlier in life. In other words, sometimes our beliefs don’t mesh with reality.” The method of CBT is not to dwell on the past, but to prepare for the future—to rewrite the software of the mind, so to speak, by challenging the irrational beliefs that sabotage you, and re- placing them with accurate beliefs that help you overcome your anxiety, and live out your full potential. “I’ve based my entire career on the efﬁ cacy of CBT,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “Week after week I see patients who’ve lived with anxiety or depression for years, even decades, make life-alter- ing changes in a relatively short period of time.” “All you need,” he adds, “is the desire and willingness to change.” For more information about CBT or to book a con- sultation at the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Thera- py (ofﬁ ces in Ajax and downtown Toronto), call 905- 427-2007 or email info@ccbt.ca.

Answer: Cravings are our body’s way of talking to us. When we eat foods that are defi cient in nutrients, such as fast, processed, refi ned, microwave or fried foods, our bodies do not have the materials, aka “nutrients”, they need to build cells correctly and run optimally. Therefore, our bodies, being as smart as they are, send out a “craving” to get us to eat more food! The key is to provide our bodies with whole foods that are nutrient dense, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, emphasizing low-glycemic carbohydrates, essential fats and lean proteins in the right ratios. Eating the correct balance of fats, proteins and carbohydrates is what we at U Weight Loss call eating in “hormonal balance”. This reduces cravings, fuels our bodies for optimal vitality and energy, helps prevent disease and makes weight loss safe and easy! Optimal health is the most important thing at U Weight Loss and can only be achieved through BALANCE - this is what we teach our clients at the clinics! 0ROFESSIONAL¬AND¬AFFORDABLE¬PROGRAMS¬ !CHIEVE¬AND¬MAINTAIN¬YOUR¬TARGET¬WEIGHT¬ -AXIMIZE¬YOUR¬ENERGY¬LEVELS¬ &REE¬YOUR¬BODY¬OF¬TOXINS¬AND¬CRAVINGS¬ ,OSE¬FAT¬AND¬TRANSFORM¬YOUR¬BODY¬ "ONUS¬#ALL¬TO¬"OOK¬9OUR¬&REE¬(EALTHY¬7EIGHT¬!NALYSIS¬ 4ODAY¬AND¬'ET¬A¬&REE¬$ETOX¬¬#LEANSE WWWBECOMEUAGAINCOM¬\¬OVER¬¬LOCATIONS¬ACROSS¬#ANADA¬AND¬GROWING !PPLICABLE¬TO¬PERSONAL¬COACHING¬WEEKS¬AND¬IS¬ONLY¬AVAILABLE¬WITH¬THEPURCHASE¬OF¬A¬FULL¬WEIGHT¬LOSS¬PROGRAM¬/NE¬ OFFER¬PER¬PERSON¬.O¬CASH¬VALUE¬.OT¬VALID¬WITH¬ANY¬OTHER¬COUPONS¬SPECIALS¬OR¬PROMOTIONS¬/FFER¬EXPIRES¬.OVEMBER¬ ¬¬#ERTAIN¬#ONDITIONS¬!PPLY¬3EE¬5¬7EIGHT¬,OSS¬FOR¬DETAILS "EFORE¬ %XPERIENCE¬THE¬BENElTS¬OF¬THE¬/ÀiiÊ-«iÊ-iVÀiÌÃ¬ BEHIND¬ THE¬1Ê 7i}ÌÊ ÃÃ Á¬ LIFESTYLE BASED¬ AND¬ DOCTOR FORMULATED¬ PROGRAM¬ DESIGNED¬ TO¬ HELP¬ YOU¬ REACH¬YOUR¬HEALTH¬AND¬WEIGHT¬LOSS¬GOALS¬IMPROVE¬THE¬ QUALITY¬OF¬YOUR¬LIFE¬AND¬BECOME¬YOUR¬1Ì>ÌiÊ1 ,EARN¬THE¬4HREE¬3IMPLE¬3ECRETS¬¬ AND¬GET¬'UARANTEED¬2ESULTS 3IGN¬UP¬NOW¬AND¬ENJOY¬YOUR &IRST¬-ONTH¬&REE ÀÊ +ENASTON¬-ANITOBA¬ 5LTIMATE¬5¬#ONTEST 7INNER¬ £äÈÊLÃÊÃÌ ÊÊ 8 * , AP ne w s 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 3 , 2 0 0 9 13 AP HAVEYOURÃ>Þt7 %NTERTO ASHOPPING SPREEFROM0ICKERING 4OWN#ENTRE 6OTE .OW2EADERS#HOICE!WARDS 4HISISYOURCHANCETOTELLUSWHOYOURFAVOURITE BUSINESSESAREHAVEACHANCETOWIN WWWDURHAMPARENTCOM WE’RE RECRUITING NOW SKIERS & BOARDERS RECRUITMENT NIGHT THURSDAY SEPT. 10, 7PM - 9:30PM WHITBY REAL CANADIAN SUPER STORE (NW Corner Brock St. & Taunton - upstairs) FIRST AID COURSES START (Evenings) Sept. 15th in Oshawa, Sept. 17th in Ajax, (Days) Sept. 20th in Peterborough VISIT OUR WEBSITE www.kawartha.skipatrol.ca FOR FURTHER INFORMATION & FOLLOW THE LINKS TO REGISTER ON-LINE EMAIL skipatrol@rogers.com OR CALL OUR OFFICE: 905-448-2266 OR 1-866-437-3065 JOIN THE SKI PATROL AJAX MEN’S SLO PITCH Masters 45+ TEAM GP W L T PTS Eastmen 16 14 2 0 28 Silver Stixs 15 11 3 1 23 St. L.

Among those named to the roster was Durham Lords pitch- er Gary Rose, entering his third season with the men’s baseball team. “It is pretty exciting to be select- ed to the preliminary roster,” said Rose. “All of the hard work that I have been putting in is really pay- ing off. To get the opportunity to play at that level is a great hon- our.” Rose’s parents hail from Great Britain and his dual citizenship made his potential participation in the event possible. From the 40-man roster, 24 players will eventually be select- ed to represent Great Britain in the tournament against 21 other nations. ne w s 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 3 , 2 0 0 9 14 AP SOCCER Durham teams off to Ontario Cup finals DURHAM -- Ten Durham soccer teams will compete in the finals of the Ontario Cup, the Durham Region Soccer Association has announced.

Please call 911 to report suspected Please call 911 to report suspected impaired drivers, you may save a life!impaired drivers, you may save a life! Please Don’t Drive Impaired ADVERTISING FEATURE Labour Day, September 7th, is a day to reﬂ ect and celebrate the labour union movement that transformed the economic and social fabric of the country. Yet many Canadians view this last long weekend of the summer as the ﬁ nal chance to travel, to say goodbye to friends and family before the new school year commences. These social functions whether at home or the lake will usually involve alcohol, and the choice of whether or not to drive drunk. Most of us, who plan on drinking, make a choice of consuming in moderation because we also plan on driving to and from these functions. Some may even plan ahead and designate a sober driver, use public transportation, arrange to take a taxi or other professional driving service. Some still, will simply stay the night. But there will be a few who will ignore the public service announcements and warnings regarding the consequences associated with making the wrong choice. Some will choose to drive and put themselves and the rest of the community at risk. Others will ignore the fact that a customer, acquaintance, friend or relative is making the wrong decision or has neglected to plan ahead. This too is a choice that could lead to very serious, often expensive, and sometimes fatal consequences. This Labour Day weekend, become involved. Plan ahead, drink responsibly, and if you suspect a drunk driver, call the police. The number is 911. Do your part, and drive smart! Choose to make Durham Region a safe community to live work and play. The next child safety seat check event will be held on Sunday, October 4th, 2009 from noon till 4pm at Gus Brown Auto, 10 Van Edward Drive, Port Perry. Have your child’s safety seat checked for proper installation by trained volunteers. For more information, call the Health Department.

It was only an exhibition con- test, mind you, and just the first one at that, but Thomas scored three goals, including the win- ner on a penalty shot, and added an assist to lead the Generals to a 6-4 victory over the Peterbor- ough Petes Sunday at the Gen- eral Motors Centre. And it served as a nice remind- er that there is indeed life after Tavares, who was dealt to the London Knights last season along with Michael Del Zotto and Daryl Borden, in exchange for Thomas, defenceman Scott Valentine, goalie Michael Zador and six high draft picks. All three new players have flashed moments of promise since coming over, but on Sun- day, it was Thomas who was particularly impressive with his combination of speed and scor- ing touch. “I’m glad to be back, obvi- ously,” he said after. “I know the league now and all the guys on the team, so I’m looking forward to a good season. I’ll try to score more goals, make more plays and try to make a difference every time I’m on the ice.” Thomas, a 5-foot-9, 160-pound right winger, was playing on a line with Jeff Brown, who also had four points, including two goals, and rookie import Alain Berger, from Switzerland. Thomas scored on the power play in the first period, then tied the game 4-4 in the third before potting the winner on a penalty shot, putting a nice backhand deke past Petes goalie Jason Missiaen in the final minute, after a Peterborough player had closed his hand over the puck in the crease.
