Early this year, a new group called Wedding Saviours launched a competition to give one couple in Durham Region a free wedding. The idea came to Pickering resident Bren- da Holdsworth, owner of BH Consulting and Design, a creative wedding invitation supplier, when she was pondering ways to not only save her business in tough financial times, but to “pay it forward” in the community. “The whole purpose was to create a win/win situation for couples and vendors,” she said in an interview. And it was definitely a winning situation for the Oshawa couple chosen for the big wedding, Larry and Sarah Roberts. “I think the whole thing turned out great,” said the groom. Mr. Roberts saw the story about the competi- tion in Oshawa This Week and cut it out for Ms. Roberts to see.

The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 606 hosted the Remembrance Day parade and ceremony and a number of guests, from vet- erans and their families to firefighters and cadets, were in attendance. One of the guests was Platoon Signaller Wil- liam Oakman, who placed the peacekeep- er wreath at the cenotaph at the ceremony. The Pickering native spent eight months in Afghanistan, and returned from a mission to Haiti in January. “It was nice (to come home), a relief -- not to just be out of the situation but to be able to be with family and friends,” he said. He enjoys going to the Legion and talking to the veterans from past wars, especially since he’s found many of the old “quips and quirks” the older vets speak of are still pres- ent in the Canadian military today. To the older veterans, he says “thank you.” While Remembrance Day has always been special to him, the day means even more now that he’s served and lost friends of his own. “It’s nice to be able to remember those who have given their lives and to appreciate those still doing those jobs,” he said. Pickering-Scarborough East MP Dan McTeague shared his respect for Canada’s veterans, but also reminded those in atten- dance of the soldiers currently in Afghani- stan. He said those soldiers returning home deserve proper treatment and compensa- tion from the government. “It’s time to say ‘no’ to bureaucrats and bean counters,” he said. Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland brought up the fact that some believe wearing a poppy is simply glorifying war, and said it seems those people must misunderstand what Remembrance Day really means. “Remembering is about looking back into our past,” he said, adding veterans put the needs of freedom and their country in front of their own interests. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan said freedom is something Canadians often take for grant- ed. “Freedom is a privilege and freedom demands responsibilities from all of us,” he said. Longtime resident Yvonne Burns was one of the many residents who attended the cer- emony to pay her respects. “It’s our duty because we owe so much to our veterans,” she said. She’s attended the ceremony for nearly 40 years. “I’ve been here since ‘62,” she said. “I come every year.” COMMUNITY PICKERING -- Area residents and veterans, including Neil Fielden, left, and George Fultin, listened to the Remembrance Day ceremonies held at the Cenotaph Nov. 7 in front of City Hall in Pickering. Citizens of all ages paid their respects to Canada’s veterans and war dead. JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND Make One Small Monthly Payment for all your DEBTS!

The 10-year-old victim sustained injuries to his face and hand after he was grabbed, thrown face-first to the ground and searched by his assail- ants at about 5:40 p.m., Durham police said. The suspects fled with the boy’s iPhone. The victim’s mother witnessed the robbery, in the area of Sena- tor Street and Waterford Gate, and gave chase. She was able to retrieve the iPhone, police said. Officers with the street robbery unit have arrested one suspect, a 12-year-old Pickering boy whose identity is pro- tected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. They’re searching for a second suspect, described as a black male aged 15 to 16, with a stocky build. He wore a white hoodie, police said.

A Durham police officer patrolling Valley Farm Road at about 2:30 p.m. saw a man smoking pot while driving and pulled the car over. During a search, the cop found a loaded handgun in a fanny pack the suspect was wearing. Hamidreza Safar-Zadeh-Markhali, 28, of Finch Avenue, Pickering, faces drug and weapons charges. He was also ticketed for driving with a suspended licence. Guns seized in raids in Oshawa, Whitby DURHAM -- Police seized several weapons in raids on two Durham homes over the past week. On Oct. 28, members of Durham gang enforcement unit executed a search warrant at an apartment on Simcoe Street North in Oshawa, seizing a sawed-off .20 gauge shotgun. Christopher Robertson and Meaghan Wood, both 22, are charged. And on Wednesday, two rifles and a shotgun, along with ammunition and two knives, were taken from a residence on Ashburn Road in Whitby. Larry Zolis and Sheryl Lintner, both 40, are charged. Police disarm man with scissors at Port Perry hospital SCUGOG -- Police officers disarmed a distraught man who was brandishing a pair of scissors in the emergency room of Port Perry’s hospital Thursday night. The 71-year-old man advanced on two Durham officers when they responded to an armed person call just before midnight, but the cops led him outside, where he was dis- armed. Police were called after the man armed himself with scissors and threatened to kill himself and others at the hospital. The man was suicidal and apparently intent on a confrontation with officers, police said. The man was taken into custody under the Mental Health Act. His identity was not released. Constable drew gun during dispute at station, police say JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A Durham police officer accused of drawing his gun on a fellow cop during a heated argument has been given an absolute discharge after pleading guilty to assault. But Constable Ian Cameron, 38, still has legal hurdles to overcome. He’s scheduled to appear before a tribunal next week to answer to a Police Services Act charge. Const. Cameron has been suspended without pay since the incident in late September 2009. Durham police said at the time that when two officers became involved in a physical altercation at the Clarington police station in Bowmanville, one of the cops pulled his gun and threatened the other. The altercation, which occurred out of sight of the public, ended with no shots fired and no one hurt. Const. Cameron, a Durham officer since 2004, was origi- nally charged with assault, pointing a firearm and posses- sion of a dangerous weapon. On Oct. 25, he pleaded guilty to one count of assault in Ontario Court and was given an absolute discharge. He now faces a count of discreditable conduct under the Police Services Act and faces a hearing to be held next week by Durham police. Sanctions can range from a reprimand to dismissal.

Roshan Norouzali, 47, was charged this week with the murder of Lawrence Kita- kijick. The 27-year-old died from multi- ple gun shot wounds; his remains were found near Thamesville in August of 1992. Police believe he was murdered in London. In 1994, Mr. Norouzali and his part- ner Ronald Woodcock struck in Durham Region, leaving two men dead and three others wounded. Looking to stock up on weapons to be used in armed robberies, the two men burst into the Gagnon Sports shop, then located on Simcoe Street in Oshawa, with weapons drawn. Shop owner Roger Pardy was fatally shot; three others in the shop at the time were wounded as bullets flew. The men fled in a car they had sto- len earlier in the day from Ken Thomas, 55, of Pickering, as he ran errands. Mr. Thomas was taken to a remote area near the Pickering nuclear plant and killed execution-style with shots to the head. After the shocking Durham crimes, the men returned to their home base in Lon- don where, with another partner, Deryck Thompson, they pulled off a series of rob- beries, becoming known as the Balaclava Bandits. Faces covered, the men would burst into banks and supermarkets, ter- rorizing workers and customers as they stuffed bags with cash and cheques. The gang was finally apprehended as the men fled the scene of a robbery in early 1995. Mr. Norouzali and Mr. Woodcock were soon linked to the Durham incidents and were convicted of first-degree murder and a slew of other offences after a trial in 1998. Both men appealed; Mr. Norou- zali’s conviction was upheld, while a new trial for Mr. Woodcock was ordered. He was convicted again in 2006 and given six life sentences for two murders and four attempted murders. Mr. Norouzali was arrested by OPP officers this week at Collins Bay prison in Kingston, where he is serving a life sentence. In a statement released Fri- day, investigators said that although Mr. Norouzali had not originally been a sus- pect in the killing of Mr. Kitakijick, foren- sic testing and DNA profiling had linked him to the crime. He appeared in court in London Fri- day.

MCEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME 28 Old Kingston Road (Pickering Village), Ajax Holiday Pet Portraits Saturday November 20th and Sunday November 21st 10:00am - 4:30pm CRIME Man convicted in Durham murders linked to ’92 killing ELECTION Time for Ajax to focus on taxes To the editor: I am very displeased with the results of our election. I voted for Steve Parish, so don’t get me wrong. The people who work alongside him have no idea what they are doing and take advantage of their power. I did not vote for anyone who was already on, just Mayor Parish. For example, my parents have a 2,500-square-foot home on a pool-sized lot and pay roughly $4,600 a year in taxes. They also back onto greenspace. People with a house half the size of my parents’ and with postage-stamp proper- ties are paying roughly the same. We have a casino from which we get millions each year. Instead of spending it on useless things, it’s time these councillors stepped up to the plate and started spending money on more useful things, cutting property taxes and offering more of a discount for people on disability pensions like myself who can- not work. Emily McKiernan Ajax COMMUNITY Casino revenues could help boost sport participation To the editor: I find it interesting that the Town of Ajax has received a $1.56-million payout this quarter as a host community for the OLG Slots at Ajax Downs. In addition, the Town has received $23.2 million since 2006. I would be interested to know where all this money has gone. I recently attended the annual meeting for the Ajax Spartans Minor Baseball to find out that the Town of Ajax charges this non-profit organization over $60,000 per year to use the ball diamonds from May to September. This is obviously in turn charged to the kids and is included in registration fees. What is even more interesting is that the Town of Whitby charges nothing to their minor baseball association for the use of their fields, and the City of Pickering charg- es next to nothing. It seems obvious to me that getting kids involved in sports is not something Mayor Parish and his council believe as being “high on the priority list”. There is so much research on the benefits of organized sports programs and getting kids involved, why would that not be a pri- ority? Mr. Parish and the local council should be ashamed. Nancy Clarke Ajax ANIMAL CARE High vet bills force senior to give up beloved pet To the editor: I am a disabled senior and my only income is a government pension. Recently, I had to find a new home for my beloved pet cat as I could not afford to help him. With the expense of the food and litter, there was no way to have him looked at in a vet clinic. The local shelters are pleading for people to adopt pets but due to the enormous fees charged by the vet clinics, it is impossible, especially for seniors on limited incomes. The vet clinics do not offer any kind of dis- count for seniors or anyone else. You would think that clinics would do something so seniors could keep their pets, after all, I never heard of one going bank- rupt, have you? As a longtime animal person, I feel like I have given away my soul. Elizabeth Wardell Bowmanville Durham Region’s Highway of Heroes has seen a lot of miles unspool beneath the wheels of the vehicles that carry the bod- ies of soldiers, killed in Afghanistan, from Canadian Forces Base Trenton to Toronto. There have been 152 repatriations since Canada sent its men and women of the armed forces into combat in 2002 in a bid to rout the Taliban and provide security to Afghanistan, a nation in the thrall of a fun- damentalist Islamic regime. Durham resi- dents have turned out in growing num- bers along highway overpasses to honour our fallen soldiers, waving the flag, hands placed solemnly on chests or snapping stiffly in salute. The deaths of these soldiers is final, the ultimate sacrifice they could make on behalf of the nation. But what of the hundreds of veterans who have served in Afghanistan over these last eight years and suffered catastrophic inju- ries? These are the men and women who lost limbs, sight or hearing, those whose organs were damaged by shrapnel or whose hor- rific experiences led to emotional disor- ders. They too have sacrificed, but are not greeted by patriotic crowds upon arrival home or given appropriate due for their service. Often, they are left without ade- quate support, services or benefits to enjoy a quality of life they enjoyed before serv- ing their country on the other side of the world. Indeed, some returning Canadian vet- erans seem to have been forgotten by the Harper government and must engage in pitched battles with the federal bureau- cracy to enjoy a quality of life they took for granted before being sent overseas. They are forced to navigate blind bureaucratic alleys and clear numerous hurdles when seeking financial assistance or treatment. In short, they are routinely treated dish- onourably after serving their country with distinction and honour. The federal Veterans Affairs ministry must take responsibility and action to address this shameful legacy. A review is neces- sary of the widely detested New Veterans Charter created in 2006 that introduced changes to the ways in which Canada’s vets were served by government upon their return from the theatre of war. Ostensibly designed to better serve vets, it instead has come to be seen as a policy used to deny vets pensions, family benefits and other supports that were historically provided. The government can’t have it both ways. If it is willing to send young men and women off to fight fundamentalism in far- away lands, or provide military support elsewhere as a NATO ally, it must be willing to provide all of the support necessary for them upon their return home. Adequate pensions, long-term physical and mental medical support, housing and retraining are the very least we can offer as a nation after asking veterans to risk their lives on our behalf. & A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

One of the stops was at Terwidlen Farms and while the owner was talk- ing to the guests, this calf seemed to be quite curi- ous about the camera. I was clicking away, taking pictures of the guests and the calves, when this lit- tle guy came straight for the lens. He was sniffing away just like a dog would when taking its picture. I thought it was cute and enjoyed taking these pic- tures. A good teen in Pickering, a kind stranger in Ajax Letters to the editor To the editor: While walking through the Pickering Town centre parking lot on Sunday, Oct. 31, we were stopped by a pretty young woman, asking if this was our car, as she had found keys beside the driver’s door. She had been standing beside the car wait- ing for the owner so she could return the keys. We suggested that she put the keys on the driver’s seat and close the door. Later we watched from our condo win- dow as she approached several people, trying to find the owner. After standing in the chilly wind, (she had told us that she had 20 minutes before her bus was due) we watched as she crossed Glenanna to wait for her bus. Many people talk about the carelessness of young people today, but most are car- ing, as this young woman showed. I hope the owner of the car reads this and appre- ciates the effort she went to so she could return the keys to the rightful owner. Lenore Warrington Pickering *** To the editor: Random acts of kindness do still happen. I was recently at the Harwood Plaza, trying to carry 40 pounds of kitty litter to my car, which I had foolishly parked at the north parking lot. A young man came along and said, “I’ll help you with that.” This is why I like living in Ajax.

Making a living as an actor is certainly not the most dependable of livelihoods, but it’s the Rock of Gibraltar compared to the life of a musician, especially a female pop star. You couldn’t pay me to be a female pop singer. Not that I’ve ever been asked ... although there was that stag party back in ’88. But that’s another column. I’m hardly ‘au courant’ when it comes to pop music but it doesn’t take more than a cursory whiff to sense that something is terribly askew in the music industry and, quite possibly, our culture. Where, for instance, are all the ugly singers? How come all the pop stars, especially women, are hot? Surely homely or even plain women can sing. This collective preoccupation with grav- ity-defying breasts and backsides you could crack an egg off of was glaringly highlighted by the sudden celebrity of that bushy-browed, Scots meadowlark, Susan Boyle. We all gave ourselves a nice pat on the back for being big enough to acknowl- edge that even though she had a face like a sack of hammers, she could sing like an angel. Many of us reacted to her talent as though she’d not been merely uncomely, but physically handicapped. There was a web-wide ‘Ohhhhh, good for her.’ The poor dear. She overcame that face and body and went on to become a productive part of society. What an inspiration. The woman was plain, not injured ... most of us treated her as though she’d been eating through a tube most of her life. But, sadly, that’s where we’re at. In the world of pop music, talent, apparently, isn’t enough. And, as I say, you’re doubly behind the eight ball if you’re a woman. If you’re a female solo act, you may as well take your own life. Interestingly, the music industry tolerates, in fact almost encour- ages, unattractiveness in men. Geddy Lee, Keith Richards and Iggy Pop are a plas- tic surgeon’s dream, but they’re not bit- ing. They don’t have to. Even a pie-wag- on like Meatloaf was gold. Do you think we would’ve been nearly as receptive to a queen-sized ‘Meat-wife’? I don’t think so. But, I hear you cry, what about Rita Mac- Neil? Well, Rita doesn’t count. She’s from Cape Breton and those people are far too nice to really qualify as ‘human’. Even, cute as a button Natalie MacMaster could be 300 pounds of stinky-nasty and they’d still adore her. Those Maritimers do love their fiddle. It’s odd also that this caveat doesn’t seem to carry over into other disciplines. There are loads of female artists, writ- ers, poets, sculptors, even actors who fell out of the ugly tree and hit every prover- bial branch on the way down. Their lack of ‘hot-ness’ hasn’t hurt their livelihoods one bit. Indeed Kathy Bates and Stock- ard Channing have made careers out of playing frumps. Why do we value their art more than that of the chanteuse? As sad as this obsession with a particu- lar kind of pre-fabricated beauty is, what is even more distressing is that, what real- ly counts ... the music ... is taking a back seat. If you’re going to insist that only the hotties get in the door, you’re going to miss out on an awfully long list of creative genius. While Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Britney Spears shake their botoxed boo- ties and lip-synch for the camera, some- where there’s a young girl with a flat chest, weak chin and a skinny butt whose voice could charm the birds from the trees. Music to my ears ... not my eyes. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

Jean-Pierre Blackburn, acknowledg- ing problems at the department entrusted with supporting Canada’s 750,000 vets, has announced a series of big-money mea- sures that includes $200 million over five years to support severely disabled veterans, and other fixes to problems he classified as urgent. But Second World War veteran and Pickering resident Jan de Vries feels the sol- diers returning from Afghanistan aren’t get- ting the treatment they deserve. “Even though this is a different war than the war I fought in, it’s still important we look after those fellows,” he said. Retired Colonel Pat Stogran, whose ouster as Veterans Affairs ombudsman has been a rallying point for the growing national pro- test by veterans, says he is not confident the new money will help. “I credit the government with making the announcements,” Mr. Stogran said. “(But) it doesn’t matter how much water you flow into the top if the system is broke. The sys- tem has terrible administrative practices that violate the principals of natural justice. There are mounds of bureaucracy that con- front veterans.” The longest standing point of contention for Mr. Stogran and veterans’ action groups is the New Veterans Charter, created in 2006, which critics claim denies vets the guaran- teed pensions, family benefits and supports that were previously standard issue. One of the changes is pensions supplied in a lump sum. Mr. de Vries, who receives a pension him- self, has issue with the new method. “I find it most annoying that the govern- ment doesn’t do something about its vets,” he said. “The young fellows coming back from Afghanistan, they’re not properly looked after. They come back without legs or arms and they’re shuffled off. That’s not acceptable. “And especially (I have issue with the gov- ernment) giving the young fellows a lump sum payment. That doesn’t make sense at all because they’re not experienced at look- ing after money. They’ll go through it in two or three years and what have they got to show for it?” Parliament’s Standing Committee on Vet- erans Affairs issued a report in June calling for extensive changes to the much-maligned charter. The report commends the spirit of the charter, saying it is built on a “wellness model based on modern disability manage- ment principals” that will help “the tran- sition to civilian life for military members released for medical reasons.” But the report is also clear in its criticism: “When members are released for medi- cal reasons as a result of a service-related injury, they have done what the Canadian Forces and the Canadian people expected them to do defend the security of Canada at the risk of their own physical integrity they should not have to experience release as a punishment or disadvantage the efforts of the Government of Canada as a whole do not seem to have been consistent with the sacrifice expected of military members.” Mr. de Vries had similar thoughts. “The veterans’ charter has improved things, but it’s not the final answer,” he said. “They still have more good to do for the vets that are coming back.” He said the government should make sure the vets returning from Afghanistan are capable of earning a living, and should take particular care of those who have become severely injured or have lost limbs. Also, the government has a responsibility to ensure those returning have dealt with post trau- matic stress. “I have a feeling that this is going to be more of a problem in the future than it is right now,” he said. He noted during the First and Second World wars, the soldiers were previously miners and farmers and said the soldiers today, who are used to a different way of life and live in a technological age, may not be able to handle the stress of war as well. Activist veterans have been organizing nationwide, encouraging vets to protest at the offices of their MPs. Lawsuits against the government have been filed. The Pickering Veterans Association was one of the first to knock on its MP’s door for help. On Oct. 13, the group took the peti- tion to Pickering-Scarborough East MP Dan McTeague’s office. Nationwide protests took place on Nov. 6. In 2006, a class-action lawsuit was launched by veteran Dennis Manuge of Nova Scotia, charging the government with unlawfully denying the injured their due and acting in bad faith with clawbacks of benefits. Mr. Manuge spent almost a decade with the Canadian Forces including a six-month mission in Bosnia. The lawsuit involves 6,500 veterans. A suit has also been launched by veteran- activist Sean Bruyea of Nepean. In Septem- ber, he learned that his medical files had been made widely available to government officials. This has become the subject of an audit by Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart into systemic abuses of privacy at Veterans Affairs. Late last month, Mr. Blackburn issued a public apology to Mr. Bruyea. Kirsty Duncan, Veterans Affairs critic and Liberal MP for Etobicoke North, says the point is that “Canada has a sacred trust with our vets. “These are people who have put their life on the line for Canada. When they come home they shouldn’t have to fight another battle, the battle for care, the battle for treatment, and least of all the battle for their privacy.” On Nov. 5, Mr. Blackburn announced Chief Warrant Officer Guy Parent will be appoint- ed as Veterans Ombudsman for a five-year term starting on Nov. 11. He served with the Canadian Forces for 37 years as a search and rescue officer and as chief warrant officer. When he retired, he worked in the offices of the National Defence and Canadian Forces Ombudsman, and of the Veterans Ombuds- man as director of research and investiga- tions. -- With files from Kristen Calis Page 6 - Today’s editorial JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND DURHAM -- Second World War veteran and Pickering resident Jan de Vries feels the soldiers returning from Afghanistan aren’t getting the treatment they deserve.

Glad her then-fiance still wanted to get mar- ried -- the couple has been together for seven years and engaged for four-and-a-half -- she and her future husband submitted a creative application. “We put our entry in the day of (the deadline),” Ms. Roberts said. They created a YouTube video of an I Love Lucy knock-off, and were selected for the Top 20. After a thorough selection process includ- ing online voting and charity work, they were chosen. “I cried a lot,” Ms. Roberts said. “I was so happy.” Their previous wedding plans went on hold when Ms. Roberts was in a severe car accident in 2008. She had to forego her tuition at the private hairdressing school she was attend- ing, and numerous bills piled up before she could get past the pain, go back to school and eventually find a job. “It was a touching story,” Ms. Holdsworth said, adding Mr. Roberts even did Ms. Rob- erts’s hair when she wasn’t physically capa- ble. “They’re a wonderful couple.” One of the big contributing factors to win- ning the challenge was community volunteer work. Ms. Roberts and Mr. Roberts chose to host a fundraiser for autism and volunteered at the local Salvation Army. “My favourite part was the challenge for charity,” Mr. Roberts said. Ms. Roberts added it was amazing to see all the Top 20 couples working together for various charities. The big day was worth $20,000. The good work of the many vendors was appreciated by the couple, and a special instance stood out when Ms. Roberts needed an emergency root canal just three days before the wedding. Pickering-based dentist Dr. Stephen Carmo- na did the surgery free on his lunch break, so the bride could smile beautifully and com- fortably on her big day. “I don’t know what would have happened if he didn’t step in,” Ms. Roberts said. The couple thanks all vendors, who gave everything from the bridal dress to the cater- ing, across Durham (and one in Hamilton), especially since many vendors themselves were also struggling financially. “It was a big deal for them to give us what they gave us,” she said. Ms. Roberts was most surprised by how much creative input the couple had in plan- ning the big day. With the help of the ven- dors, they created a wedding inspired by Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland. The ceremony was held at the Milestone Conference Cen- tre in Ajax, and the reception was at the West Shore Community Centre in Pickering. “It ended up being a dream wedding, one hundred per cent,” Ms. Roberts said. Ms. Holdsworth said other vendors are already showing interest in taking part in a future project, and said becoming part of Wedding Saviours can give entrepreneurs a great boost. Information on the group, as well as Mr. and Ms. Roberts’s blog and winning video, can be found online.

Today, many Canadian Forces members are return- ing home from missions around the world. Canadians recognize the commitment made by our service men and women and their families. They, along with past gen- erations of Veterans, have made many sacrifices in the name of peace and freedom. This Veterans’ Week, take the remembrance challenge. Your challenge is to make remembrance more than something you feel, make it something you do. There are many ways to show that you remember and honour our Veterans: • Pin a poppy above your heart. • Attend the local Remembrance Day. Pickering - Thursday Nov. 11 at 10:45 am, Esplanade Park, Pickering City Hall Ajax- Thursday Nov. 11 at 10:45 am, Ajax Legion Br. 322, 11 Hunt St., Ajax • Talk to a friend or relative who has just returned home from Afghanistan or who served in other areas of conflict. • Listen to Veterans talk about their experiences. • Create a mashup and share it on the YouTube Channel www.youtube.com/user/VeteransAf- fairsCa and on the Veterans’ Week Remembrance Feed • Visit the Veterans Affairs Canada Facebook fan page (http://www.facebook.com/CanadaRemembers) write on the wall and share how you remember. • Change your Facebook profile picture to a poppy. • Blog, tweet or update your Facebook status about the importance of remembrance. Above all, we must vow never to forget. However you choose to remember, be sure you tell a friend, a family member or a colleague. Together, it is our duty to pass on the legacy and keep the memories of our Canadian Veterans alive. Veterans Affairs Canada invites you to share the ways you remember using social media sites like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. The challenge is simple. Use the videos and images available on their site to create a mashup, a virtual scrapbook, a fan page or decorate your space. The options are endless. Share with others and link back to their Web site. Share it Once you have made your remembrance creation, share it with your friends and others. You decide how: You- Tube, Facebook, Twitter or a Web page. Why Remember? Canada’s service men and women have served this nation from the First World War to current missions. They step forward in our time of greatest need — because they believe in peace and security around the world. They have left their villages and cities, their farms and fishing communities, to make a difference. And they did. And today’s service men and women are carrying on the tradition. www.vac-acc.gc.ca Remembrance Day November 11, 2010 Lest We Forget 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 • No v e m b e r 1 0 , 2 0 1 0 18 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 • No v e m b e r 1 0 , 2 0 1 0 19 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 • No v e m b e r 1 0 , 2 0 1 0 20 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 • No v e m b e r 1 0 , 2 0 1 0 21 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 • No v e m b e r 1 0 , 2 0 1 0 22 AP www.graziellafinejewellery.com 5-Points Mall - 285 Taunton Rd.

Tommy aged 5, is labeling a map of Canada, and four year old Robert is trac- ing geometric shapes. These children have chosen their own activities from “The Prepared Environment”, which consists of specially- designed educational materials laid out on shelves in an attractive, orderly classroom. This Prepared Environment is divided into the following activities: Practical Life reflects activities that the child is familiar with because they are found in the home. Thus the activities are a link between the home environment and that of the school. Children are attracted to these activities because, as every parent knows, children want to do what Mommy and Daddy do, i.e. wash dish- es, use nuts and bolts, open locks with keys, pour liquids, sweep, dust and polish. Even clean up a mess! The list goes on. Sensorial Activities involve the children in the refinement of their senses; e.g. sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell .These senses are still being develop from birth to age 6 and, of course, we want them to be as keen as possible since all learning occurs through the senses. There are even some senses of which we may not be aware. For instance, the baric sense (to distinguish weights) or the stereognostic sense (identifying objects by feel). Academics includes, Language, Reading Writing and Math. In a Montessori class, by the time children are 5 years old, they are reading at a public school level equivalent to Grade 2 - at least! And, since everything the children do, they choose to do, and every activity is done with joy! Because, when you are a little child, you choose activities for one reason - because it is fun! Each lesson is given individually to the child when he is ready and interested, so that when he does choose an activity, he has had a previous lesson in it. Mathematics; Dr. Maria Montessori showed her true genius with the math materials. It is enough to say, at this point, that by the time children have completed their third year in Montessori The Prepared Environment in Montessori Education (starting at two and a half or three), they know the numbers from 0 to 9000! This includes, adding, sub- tracting, multiplying and dividing with three digits and doing it with joy! Isn’t that amazing!! Cultural activities include Arts and Crafts such as: colouring, painting, cutting, pasting and draw- ing. It also includes Art Appreciation, which we will explore at a later time. In Music, the children acquire a repertoire of songs, play rhythm instru- ments, move to music, and are exposed to classical music for musical appreciation. But this is only the beginning as the child eagerly absorbs subjects such as Geography, Botany and Natural Science.

However just one visit to Mount Everest Indian Res- taurant in Pickering Village, Ajax, will show you why they are the premiere Indian food restaurant in Durham Region. Owned and operated by Manohar Singh and his family, Mount Everest has been voted the area’s number one Indian Restaurant in the News Advertiser’s Readers’ Choice Awards contest for each of those years; which is no small feat. Have just one meal in this family atmosphere restaurant and you will see why. It’s not just the food that keeps customers coming back time and again; it’s the genuine friendliness of the staff and the customers to each other. It’s not uncommon to see local dignitaries and politicians dining next to you. And it’s Mr. Singh’s sincere attention to your dining pleasure and comfort that makes casual customers into lifetime friends. Mr. Singh’s early cooking experiences came from working with his mother back in India when he was just 13 years old. His true passion for cooking comes from eating, hence the reason why he doesn’t compromise on quality. “I want only the best food for me and my family and I consider my cus- tomers to be my family. I want only the best for them too!” Even when they are really busy, Mr. Singh comes out of the kitchen to greet every guest and discusses their meal so as to ensure that it meets with their and his high standards. Mount Everest’s signature dishes are Balti, Handi and Mu- ghali dishes. All prepared according to your preference; mild, medium or spicy. While Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala dishes are most customers’ favorites. Balti dishes offer a variety of meats marinated in lime juice and cooked with fresh garlic, onions, tomatoes and Balti sea- sonings. Handi style dishes offer meats marinated with garlic, gin- ger, yogurt and lime juice. Butter chicken and chicken Tikka Masala are the most favoured Handi style dishes. Favoured by emperors of the past, Mughali dishes (from which the word Mogul is derived) are created from a secret recipe from the kitchens of Mughal emperors, using rich cum- in and nutmeg scented spices that deliver a mouth-watering taste to the chicken. Most visitors to Mount Everest try a serving of each signa- ture dish including Tandoori Chicken - marinated in spices for 24 hours and baked in a clay tandoor oven. Side dishes include Kabulee Pullaw - rice cooked with cashews, sliced almonds, raisins and carrots. Appetizers include the best Sa- mosas in the area and a spicy Mulligatawny soup that clears the sinuses. For vegetarians, Mr. Singh has created a soya ﬁ ber dish cooked with onions, garlic, ginger, tomatoes and garnished Mount Everest Restaurant- Premium Indian Food with coriander. Other dishes created exclusively by Mr. Singh include Paneer Tikka Masala, Tak Taka Paneer and Subjie Naurangabadai. Another Mr. Singh original is the appetizer Tomato Coconut soup. Many competitors have tried to copy it but no one has been able to duplicate it. As mentioned earlier, Mount Everest is a family affair with Mrs. Singh helping in the kitchen and serving while daugh- ter Amanpreet welcomes guests when she’s not at university. Melissa has been part of the Mount Everest family for just over two years now and is treated like a daughter and sister to the Singhs. Son Manvir helps on weekends. Bawa, another employee, works in the kitchen. No staff turnover is a testi- mony to the type of business person Mr. Singh is. Along with dining in, take-out is offered, just call an hour ahead. Catering is also available for groups of 35 to 500 peo- ple with two weeks notice. If you’d like to check out their menu from home visit them online at: www.themountever- est.ca <http://www.themounteverest.ca/> . All major credit cards, debit and cash are accepted. Gift certiﬁ cates are also available. Mount Everest is located at 611 Kingston Road West, just four doors west of Church Street on the south side in Pickering Village, Ajax. Parking is available in the rear. They are open weekdays with two daily seatings; lunch from 11:30am to 3pm and dinner from 5pm to 9:30pm (10:30pm on Fridays and Saturdays and till 9pm on Sundays).

JOHN’S, NL -- Walking into the Canadian dressing room and seeing a jersey with her name on it has a special meaning for Jenn Wakefield. It was earlier this year that the Pickering resident was one of the final releases just prior to the Olympic Games in Vancouver, coming up just short of earning a roster spot as Canada went on to win the gold medal. Now, just a few months later, she is among the best in the country, suiting up for hockey’s Team Canada at the 4 Nations Cup in Newfound- land. The feeling of pulling on the jersey is one that is easy to describe. “It’s awesome,” gushes the 21 year old on Tuesday afternoon, prior to Canada’s first game of the tournament against the Unit- ed States. “Every time you get together with such a great group of girls, especially representing your country, it’s an unbelievable feeling. It can’t be duplicated.” Wakefield, a junior on scholar- ship at Boston University, used the missed opportunity with the national team at the Olympics as a bit of a motivation this time around. She was among 66 play- ers who attended a 4 Nations Cup selection camp in Calgary, mak- ing the national team along with 14 members of the gold medal winning Olympic team. This time around she was inju- ry-free, something that hindered her at the Olympic tryouts. “I took it as a challenge,” she says of missing out on the Olym- pic opportunity. “Unfortunate- ly I had a bad injury. I broke my hand about a month before they were making the cuts, so that didn’t really play into my favour. “Getting the opportunity to come back and play in the 4 Nations Cup and have the oppor- tunity to play again is awesome.” She envisions her role with Canada as being a physical power forward, chipping in offensively and responsible defensively. It’s not unlike the role she plays with Boston University. “At Boston University we play a total team game and every- one has their roles there. My role might change coming from a club team to here, but you still have to play the game that got you here. “I’m going to try and do the same things I do at Boston here and hopefully everything works out for me.” She started her collegiate career at the University of New Hamp- shire after graduating from Dun- barton High School. As a fresh- man, she led the nation’s first- year players with 27 goals. In her sophomore season, she led Hockey East in goals with 32 and ranked second in points with 49 in 32 games. Her season got her name on the ballot as a top-10 finalist for the Patty Kazmai- er Memorial Award for the top female collegiate hockey player. But after taking a season off to concentrate her efforts on mak- ing the national team for the Olympics, she re-evaluated her situation and decided a switch to Boston University for her junior year of eligibility was in her best interest. “I felt like I needed a change of atmosphere,” she says of the decision, adding her familiarity with the program at Boston was a good fit. She has fit in quite nicely, post- ing 7-4-11 point totals in five games. “We’re looking to go pretty far. The sky is the limit with us,” she says of playoff aspirations. After opening the 4 Nations Cup against the US Tuesday, Canada plays Sweden Wednes- day and Finland on Friday. Gold and bronze medal games are Sat- urday. HOCKEY Wakefield gets chance STEVE MCLAUGHLIN / BU ATHLETICS PICKERING -- Pickering’s Jenn Wakefield, a junior on the Boston University women’s hockey team, is in St. John’s, Newfoundland, competing with Team Canada at the 4 Nations Cup. SOCCER Chapman, McCalla put Canada in World Cup Women’s team qualifies for 2011 World Cup MEXICO -- The Canadian wom- en’s soccer team will be com- peting in the 2011 World Cup, and Ajax’s Candace Chapman and Pickering’s Brooke McCalla hope to be along for the ride. Canada defeated Mexico for the second time in six days to win the CONCACAF women’s World Cup qualifier champion- ship on Monday night in Can- cún, Mexico. Canadian captain Christine Sinclair’s sixth goal of the tournament in the 54th min- ute was enough to lead Canada to a 1-0 victory. The win capped an impressive tournament for the Canadian squad who fin- ished undefeated with a 5-0-0 record, tallying 17 goals while conceding zero in the process. With its place at the FIFA wom- en’s World Cup Germany 2011 already safely secured with a 4-0 semifinal win over Costa Rica, the Canadians faced a confi- dent Mexico side that was com- ing off an impressive 2-1 win over USA to advance to the final. The final proved to be a much tighter contest than the Group A match played between the two sides earlier in the competition, which Canada won 3-0. The final match exploded into life in the 53rd minute. Cana- da worked a short corner rou- tine to perfection to set up Sophie Schmidt for a strike on goal which came back off the post. The rebound fell to Josée Bélanger at the top of box and her first effort was goal-bound until Mexican defender Veron- ica Perez deliberately used her hand to tip the ball over the bar. The Trinidad referee immedi- ately pointed to the penalty spot and produced a red card for Perez. Sinclair stepped up and calm- ly converted the penalty kick to give Canada the lead it wouldn’t relinquish. With the 1-0 victory over Mex- ico, Canada completed the com- petition without conceding a single goal, an impressive feat at an international competi- tion. Canada’s well-organized team defence was expertly mar- shalled by ever-present centre back Chapman, who was one of only three Canadians to play all 450 minutes during the qualifi- ers. McCalla saw action earlier in the tournament when she was substituted in during the 8-0 win over Guyana. Canada will now shift its focus to next year’s World Cup in Ger- many. 2011 will mark Canada’s fifth consecutive FIFA wom- en’s World Cup appearance. The 22-day soccer celebration will be held in nine cities across Germany beginning on June 26, leading to a July 17 final in Frankfurt. Mexico has also qual- ified for Germany 2011 by vir- tue of reaching the CONCACAF final. USA, the third-place finisher, will try to become the third team to qualify from CONCACAF as it faces Italy in a home-and-home series with the winner advanc- ing directly to the World Cup. 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 • No v e m b e r 1 0 , 2 0 1 0 26 AP NOVEMBER 10, 2010 Ajax & Pickering Locations Flyers in Today’s Paper If you did not receive your News Advertiser/fl yers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at 905-683-5117.

The Cougars, ranked No. 1 in the Greater Toronto Area and unbeaten this season at 33-0, jumped out to a 16-6 first-quarter lead and cruised to a 49-35 win over a game Wild- cats team that showed no quit on its home court Saturday night. Both teams are expecting big things in their respective playoffs, which begin this week, and believe the tournament will help them in that regard. “It was a really good game. Notre Dame is a big, strong, physical team. They showed us a lot of different things and obviously they can really take it to the basket,” said Rosa Baccel- lieri, coach of the host Whitby team. “I just thought we played really hard, we played tough defence and we played with a lot of heart. I was really proud of them.” Rose Booker, coach of the winning Ajax team, was without two of her starters for much of the game, and used all of her other nine players generously. “It’s do or die now with the playoffs, so we just kind of wanted to roll the lines,” said Booker. “We just wanted to get through the game injury-free. It was a good game. Every- body played.” Notre Dame captain Lindsay Panchan drained a couple of three-pointers to set the tone early, but wasn’t feeling well and was pulled out of the lineup by Booker. When key players were on the floor, the Cougars dominated, led by point guard Dakota Whyte, who managed a team-high 10 points with limited floor time. The Wildcats were also led by their point guard, and captain, Chole Levy, who had a game-high 12 points, while Tashana McDon- ald chipped in with 10. “It was a lot of fun,” Baccellieri said of a final she anticipated, but knew would test her team’s limits. “It was nice to play them this year. We’ve seen them at tournaments, but we haven’t had the chance to play them.” The Cougars now embark on the LOSSA AAAA playoffs with the hope of advancing to the OFSAA provincial championships for a fourth straight year. With all of her starters back from a year ago, when the team lost in the OFSAA quarterfi- nals, Booker is hoping for big things, but she knows it will be difficult enough to get past the likes of Pickering in the LOSSA playoffs, which conclude with the championship game Wednesday, Nov. 17 at the DC/UOIT Campus BASKETBALL Cougars too much for game Wildcats Recreation and Wellness Centre, at 7:15 p.m. Notre Dame beat Sinclair 58-24 in the LOSSA quarterfinals on Monday, and will face Uxbridge today in the semifinals. The Wildcats, meanwhile, will also be looking to defend their LOSSA AAA title, and appear in good shape to do so after a 9-0 season. That final is scheduled for 8 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 15 at Anderson Collegiate.

Earning points in four of the past six games, the Panthers are suddenly becom- ing more competitive with each outing in the Ontario Junior Hockey League. This past weekend, they put three more points on the board in a home-and-home with the Lindsay Muskies, winning 3-1 in Lind- say on Friday and dropping a 4-3 final in overtime at home to the Muskies on Sun- day. “We’re playing a lot better in our own end,” said head coach John Goodwin, whose team sits with record of 5-16-1. “We’re a difficult team to play against right now because we are working so hard. It took 15, 16 games to get to the point where we want to be. We’re still not scoring as much, but we’re scoring a little bit more, so that’s a good thing.” Friday in Lindsay, the Panthers got a 28-save performance from Ryan Carlisle in a 3-1 win with the team scoring once in the second and adding two more in the third. Khalid Alli opened the scoring in the game just 25 seconds into the second period, and Jarrett Smith, on the power play, put the Panthers up 2-0 just one minute into the third. Lindsay pulled to within one a minute later, but Jamie Sodhi sealed it for the Panthers with an empty- net goal with 41 seconds left in the game. Sunday’s home game didn’t get off to a good start as the Panthers were down 3-0 after two periods. A goal by Andrew Gold- berg, and a pair from Justin MacDonald, one short-handed and the other on the Pickering Panthers earn three of four points power play, tied the game up, ending reg- ulation time at 3-3. Lindsay scored just 30 seconds into overtime, but the loss did earn the Panthers a point. Goodwin listed improved goaltend- ing, the defence battling harder and bet- ter neutral zone play as reasons behind the success of late. It has resulted in fewer odd man rushes compared to earlier in the year. Now, the Panthers hit a light part of the schedule, with just one game this week- end, at home to Peterborough on Fri- day at 7:30 p.m. They don’t return to the ice again until Friday, Nov. 19, hosting Cobourg. “The rest probably won’t hurt us,” said Goodwin. “Early in the year we could have done without a few games when we weren’t doing so well. We’d like to keep playing, but we’ve got so much stuff to work on. “It will give the guys a chance to have a good week of practice and maybe have some smiles on their faces and enjoy it. That’s never a bad thing.” 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 • No v e m b e r 1 0 , 2 0 1 0 28 AP Join the IQT experience!
