City moves to calm traffic; pedestrian problems around Major Oaks to be analyzed MOYA DILLON mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Residents looking for relief from what they call a dangerous pedestrian situation in the Major Oaks area could get a solution as coun- cil voted to have staff look at the situation. A number of residents turned out to a regu- lar council meeting on Oct. 17 to express their concerns with the lack of pedestrian crossings along Dellbrook Avenue and Major Oaks Road in Pickering, which they say results in a dangerous situation for pedestrians trying to cross the busy streets. “Our major concern is pedestrians trying to cross Dellbrook and Major Oaks, especially because there’s some blind corners,” said Joe Zullo, who has lived in the area for almost 10 years. “It happens a lot where pedestrians start to cross the street and have to turn back running because of a car speeding by; it’s certainly very hair-rais- ing.” Mr. Zullo acknowledged that speed plays a part in the problem, but said pedestrian safety is the major concern. “I wouldn’t say it’s an issue of epidemic propor- tion but it certainly needs to be addressed,” he said of the speed of vehicles.

On Monday, Oct. 24, World Polio Day events will be held to bring awareness to the continuing fight to eradicate polio across the globe. Rota- ry is currently work- ing to raise $200 mil- lion in an effort to match a $355-mil- lion grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in support of its End Polio Now ini- tiative. Bill Patchett, past governor of District 7070 and co-ordinator for the $200 Million Challenge ini- tiative, was on hand at a council meeting on Oct. 17 to share Rotary’s suc- cess. “I truly believe in the next year or year and a half we will see the end of polio and prevent any more children from being crippled or dying,” Mr. Patchett said, noting that the disease has large- ly been confined to Afghanistan and Pakistan, although a few sporadic cases remain in Nigeria and India. He pointed to a recent outbreak in China, caused by an infected visitor from Afghanistan, as evidence of why it’s important to continue the fight to eradi- cate the disease worldwide. A highly infectious disease, polio causes paralysis and is some- times fatal. Although there is no cure, there is a vac- cine that offers life- time protection. “If we don’t eradicate polio in the next couple years it will cost the world an extra $50 billion to deal with it up to 2015,” Mr. Patchett con- tinued. “When we start- ed out 26 years ago, we had 125 countries suf- fering with this disease, and now we’re down to two. That’s an average of five countries a year, which is pretty remarkable. We are so close to the eradication of polio and as soon as we are finished with that we can move onto something else.” The story struck a chord with Council- lor Doug Dickerson, who suffered from polio in his youth but recovered with no lasting impact. “It’s us who should be thanking you and Rotary for what you have done, and I say that as one who experienced polio as child and was fortunate to come through,” he told presenters. Mayor Dave Ryan also had first-hand experience with the disease, as his father suffered from polio in the 1930s. “My father was a polio victim and as a family I know how devastating that can be,” he explained. “It’s wonderful that it’s almost eradi- cated. We can’t take our eyes off this, we have to be constantly vigilant and through organizations such as yours we can do that. I want to thank you and all your fellow Rotarians for the great job you do in the community.” For more information about polio eradication or to support the Rotary Club’s efforts: vIsIt rotary.org/endpolio 905-426-BRUSH 161 Harwood Ave. N.

Some people have been there since ground was broken on this subdi- vision and crossing has been a problem since day one. I’m there every morning getting my kids off to school and watch- ing people come across the street to bus stops or to catch a school bus and it’s a torturous affair.” Mr. Zullo’s neighbour Tim Wood was also at the meeting, and described how the dangerous crossing situation has affected his own family. “Outside my home dozens of people use bus stops, including students,” he said of stops located near his home at the inter- section of Dellbrook and Denby Drive. “The corner is somewhat blind due to parking and the grade of the hill and I’ve witnessed students having to run across the street to avoid being struck. My per- sonal experience with this issue concerns my own family. My own daughter, as well as my neighbours’ children have been put in danger by cars moving quickly around this corner.” Mr. Wood urged councillors to consider a motion put forward by Councillor David Pickles asking staff to look at the feasibil- ity of installing stop signs or pedestri- an crossings at some of the major inter- sections along the two streets. Currently there are no stop signs on either Major Oaks or Dellbrook from Brock Road west for about one kilometre to the intersec- tion of the two streets, which is located just east of Valley Farm Road. “We have a subdivision of thousands of people, with two schools, three parks and a plaza, two streets in excess of one kilo- metre and only one four-way stop,” Coun. Pickles explained. “That’s just not appropriate, we have to have more safe crossing locations. The motion we are looking at this evening is to ask staff to review safe crossing oppor- tunities in the neighbourhood, noting that presently there’s only one, and report back.” Councillors engaged in a debate over whether to request staff to conduct pub- lic consultation, which passed after much deliberation. Mayor Dave Ryan took the opportunity to call councillors to task for the ongoing debate over a simple motion. “This is embarrassing,” Mayor Ryan said. “All this to-ing and fro-ing and back and forth is embarrassing. This is a straight- forward question from the community. As the residents say, it’s dangerous and they want staff and council to respond to it. This is a straightforward motion asking staff to go out and do their job.” Council voted to approve the recom- mendation, which will see a report on the situation, including possible solutions, coming back to council at a future meet- ing. Mr. Woods said he was glad to see the motion pass, but was still waiting on con- crete action in terms of implementing a solution. “I think they’re moving in the right direction,” he explained. “I just hope to see it come to fruition soon.” PEDESTRIAN from page 1 It happens a lot where pedestrians start to cross the street and have to turn back running because of a car speeding by; it’s certainly hair-raising. Joe Zullo, Dellbrook-Major Oaks-area resident traffIc Pedestrian safety big concern in Dellbrook- Major Oaks area of city: Pickering resident PICKERING -- When it comes to reducing energy and water use, Pickering has emerged among the top municipalities in Canada. The City of Pickering placed third out of 60 municipalities in the Canada-wide Town Hall Challenge competition for energy and water use. Organized by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the Town Hall Chal- lenge surveyed participating municipalities’ energy and water use for 2010, as well as the square footage of their individual municipal buildings. “We were very pleased to perform so well in the Town Hall Challenge,” said Councillor Doug Dickerson, who is also chairman of the Sustainable Pickering Advisory Committee. The City has implemented a number of mea- sures to reduce water and energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions. These measures include implementing more energy-efficient lighting, upgrading HVAC systems and switch- ing to an automated chilled water system. In total, the City has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 500 tonnes annually. “The City of Pickering has embarked on a journey to become one of the most sustain- able municipalities in Canada,” said Mayor Dave Ryan. “Our success in this nationwide challenge is an indicator of the genuine prog- ress we are making.” cItY Pickering recognized for sustainability Sport Rule changes are wrecking hockey To the editor: Will Brendan Shanahan and minor hockey organizations please stop trying to ruin hockey by making it a non-contact sport! We already had rules to reduce head shots, high sticking, boarding, intent to injure and cross-checking; refs just had to enforce them. We didn’t have to add new ones. We are neutering hockey. There used to be a responsibility on players to keep their heads up when they were out on the ice, and not to put their body in a compromis- ing position. N o w the nanny state running hockey is out to protect your stu- pidity. Scott Ste- vens was the great- est open-ice check- er in NHL history, just ask Eric Lindros and Paul Kariya, but if he played in today’s version of the NHL he would be constantly thrown out because the other play- ers don’t have to keep their heads up any- more. Every level of hockey now punishes the big, strong player; it is now a crime for a big player to bodycheck a smaller player. You now have some players deliberately turning their back into the boards at the last second or bending their head down so it gets hit and they draw penalties. If you want to keep your child safe and cut down on the possibility of injury let them play in a non-contact league. If you don’t like the so-called violence or fighting in hockey then don’t play it and don’t watch it; but stop changing the rules and changing this great sport that is hock- ey. Incidentally, European hockey is avail- able to watch if you like to watch glorified figure skating, but alas you will have to put up with a lot of stick work because they don’t like to play real hockey. Blaine Sleep Blackstock Viewpoint Kids being force-fed sex education curriculum To the editor: Has anyone read the sex education plan being enforced by our government via our educational system? The document, titled Challenging Homophobia and Heterosexism, is an insult to every rational and reasonable adult in today’s society. The guide says parents should not be informed before discussions take place, or be allowed to withdraw their children from the class- room. So, if a child feels uncomfortable or con- fused by this mandate, too bad for them. I believe the government is force-feed- ing political views down the throats of innocent children while stifling parents’ rights. I grew up in an era when corporal pun- ishment was used in the classroom, and parents were arrested and jailed for trying to protect their children from such abu- sive travesties. Is history repeating itself? Let our children be children. Let adults deal with their own choices, and stop trying to use the government to further impose personal agendas.

Unfortunately, they’re not. Durham and other Greater Toronto Area municipalities continue to struggle with diminishing landfill space to accept the thousands of tonnes of garbage residents generate annually. Many experts worry we are reaching a critical point as the volume of trash continues to outstrip landfill capacity. And the complicated, intertwining and overlapping system of generation, collec- tion, recycling and composting reinforces the notion that we’re all responsible for the crisis and the solutions. In Durham Region, a controversial incin- erator is being constructed to annually burn up to 140,000 tonnes of trash collected here at home as waste diversion, organics and recycling efforts continue. But too many of us continue to ignore the responsibility we share, based on the observations of land- fill operators who routinely see perfectly recyclable materials tumbling from trucks unloading at landfills. We toss plastic bottles in green garbage bags with abandon. We tie up our food waste and mix it with the trash rather than use provided green bins. We accept over- packaged goods from manufacturers with- out giving a thought to alternatives. Simply put, a generation of effort has shown some improvement, but we have a long, long way to go before we can claim to have conquered the challenges of manag- ing the waste our communities generate. Individually, we have no credible excuses to opt out of convenient and well-organized blue box and green bin collection programs. Most municipal waste programs make it easy for households to separate true waste from recyclables and organics. As well, Dur- ham municipalities regularly host hazard- ous and electronic waste collection events. Governments must do more, and more effectively, to expand industrial and com- mercial programs, with a dual focus on diversion while forcing companies to reduce the amount of packaging that comes with retail products. It could also provide tax incentives for entrepreneurs to expand markets for recycled materials and create demand for that component of the stream. Businesses could take the lead to expand internal site programs in a bid to reduce both costs and the amount of waste that is generated in their enterprises. We’re all complicit in creating the trash that continues to pile up in Ontario. Conse- quently, we’re all responsible for the solu- tions. The motivation exists. The means and the knowledge is available. But we must renew the commitment for a new genera- tion to ensure that the gains we’ve made aren’t lost, and the goals we have are attain- able. 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 • Oc t o b e r 2 1 , 2 0 1 1 7 AP66 66 TRENTON TUESDAY OCT. 25 TH HOLIDAY INN 99 GLEN MILLER ROAD HASTINGS MEETING ROOM FROM 9:00am TO 4:30pm BELLEVILLE WEDNESDAY OCT. 26 TH HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS 291 NORTH FRONT STREET MEETING ROOM FROM 9:00am TO 4:30pm OSHAWA THURSDAY OCT. 27 TH QUALITY HOTEL 1011 BLOOR STREET EAST ROOM 116 FROM 8:30am TO 4:30pm PICKERING FRIDAY OCT. 28 TH COMFORT INN 533 KINGSTON ROAD MEETING ROOM FROM 8:30am TO 4:30pm TORONTO SATURDAY OCT. 29 TH DAYS HOTEL 185 YORK LAND BLVD (401 & DOWN VALLEY PARKWAY) BAY STREET IV FROM 8:30am TO 4:30pm MISSISSAUGA SUNDAY OCT. 30 TH QUALITY INN 50 BRITANNIA ROAD EAST BRITANNIA ROOM FROM 9:00am TO 4:00pm WE’LL BE IN OSHAWA THURSDAY OCT. 27 TH & 5OTHER VENUES IN THETORONTO AREA 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 • Oc t o b e r 2 1 , 2 0 1 1 8 AP Waste can be seen as a resource instead of a problem DON CAMPBELL AND THANA DHARMARAJAH Trash Troubles, a special Metroland investiga- tive series, looks at how well Ontario municipal- ities are diverting waste, coping with shrinking landfill space and explores potential solutions. This is the last of three parts. DURHAM -- A tattered basketball shoe, a Don- ald Duck plastic toy, VHS tapes and a champi- onship trophy sit in a sorting room at Canada’s largest waste recovery plant. These are some of the more unusual items that sorters have pulled off the production lines of the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in Brampton, where Peel Region’s residential blue box items arrive to be separated, sorted and bundled. “If you stand around here long enough you will see all sorts of things,” said Peel waste supervisor Kevin Mehlenbacher. Only about 45 per cent of recyclable items from households across Ontario ever make it to one of these plants. More than half of municipal garbage goes to landfills instead. Peel sells much of the material that comes to this plant in Brampton to China and the United States, where it is reused in new products such as aluminum cans or plastic bottles. The Region’s total take is roughly $10 million a year. But if households started recycling more, municipalities could strike deals with a new breed of entrepreneurs who understand that garbage equals dollars. The North American waste stream contains about $8 bil- lion to $10 billion worth of valuables, said Wes Muir of Waste Management Cana- da, a private recycling and disposal company. A major challenge for municipalities is finding markets for recyclable materials. ”Recycling has been around for three decades, but the problem is that end markets have not been established for many materials,” said Mr. Muir. Thirty to 40 per cent of North American recy- cled materials are going to China, India and South America, where demand is growing. There is a booming market for aluminum cans -- which fetch the highest price of all materials -- as well as PET and HDPE plastics, Mr. Muir said. There’s a move in the municipal waste sector to find new ways of making money for towns and cities by encouraging companies to tap into the value of what society is throwing away. The more waste a municipality can sell, the less it has to spend of taxpayer dollars to manage gar- bage. Hopefully consumers would buy in as well, leading to higher recycling rates -- relieving the pressure on landfills. In the U.S., for example, Texas-based Ter- rabon is developing technology that converts organic materials and commercial food wastes into organic salts, which is then made into a high-octane gasoline. It’s using what’s in our green bins. “In a world of diminishing landfill space it’s important to find sustainable alternatives in dealing with waste,” said Malcolm McNeill, the chief financial officer. The technology exists only on a demonstra- tion scale, but when commercially ready has the potential to process 800 tonnes of wet waste a day -- the type of system that could some day pay to get Ontario’s organic waste. The push to view waste as a resource -- instead of as a problem -- has also seen companies con- vert trash into new products, a model known as up-cycling. Toronto-based Therma Green Innovative Foam Technologies uses a byproduct of the manufacturer E.F. Walter Inc. to develop prod- ucts such as holding ponds for irrigation, syn- thetic turf, landfill covers and liners as well as green roofs. They are made in part from the high-density polyethylene foam waste generat- ed by E.F. Walter for a range of industrial prod- ucts. Therma Green is an example of how waste that’s currently being landfilled could be profit- ably reused. Other companies are taking regular house- hold consumer waste and flipping it. Terracycle, founded in 2001 by Princeton University fresh- man Tom Szaky, produces more than 1,500 products ranging from duffel bags made out of old Kool-Aid and Del Monte drink pouches to park benches and tables made from plastic containers. But these industries are in their infancy and municipalities need solutions now. Incinera- tion may be a route more communities are will- ing to take, said University of Toronto professor Philip Byer. Only about one per cent of waste in Ontario is incinerated now. The only residential incinera- tor is the Algonquin Power Energy From Waste Facility in Brampton. The plant burns about 500 tonnes of mostly residential waste and gener- ates nine megawatts of continuous energy -- enough to power 5,000 to 6,000 homes. Advocates say incineration is an acceptable solution because it generates energy from mate- rial that would otherwise be landfilled. Critics say incinerators cause air pollution and that the most energy efficient materials to burn -- such as paper and plastic -- are also highly recycla- ble. “I am not saying (incineration) is a good idea, but it’s maybe something you will see more of,” added Mr. Byer, whose specialty is municipal waste management. Experts say one of the most important solu- tions to today’s landfill problems is to force manufacturers to create more reusable prod- ucts, an approach known as extended producer responsibility (EPR). “EPR is effectively making what goes into the waste stream the problem of the people who put the products into the market in the first place,” said York University environmental studies pro- fessor Mark Winfield. This is done by forcing manufacturers to rede- sign products so they can be reused or requiring manufacturers and businesses to pay a govern- ment imposed fee on hard-to-recycle products. Mr. Winfield said Ontario could legislate EPR policies similar to the European Union, which forced producers to make cars and packaging easier to take apart in pieces that can be reused. But there is no move toward that kind of policy in Ontario at the moment. Page 6 - Today’s editorial WATCH the video story @ durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Maureen Semanski picks through the pile of garbage in her car trunk, tossing it into various bins spread throughout the waste management facility on Ritson Road in north Oshawa. She has a few pieces of wood, a computer monitor, some cardboard and a small bag of garbage. “Everything has a place to go,” she said, motioning to the various bins. The Ritson Road facility gets any- where from 1,200 to 1,500 vehicle trips on a busy day, typically on a Tuesday or Saturday. Annually, more than 175,000 vehicles visit this location. “It’s a one-stop shop for all waste management needs,” said Craig Bartlett, Durham’s head of waste management. The facility accepts regu- lar household waste and recy- clables as well as a host of other waste including antifreeze, metal, wood, automobile bat- teries, tires, porcelain, motor oil, propane cylinders, electronics and appliances, among others. It also houses a paint reuse centre where residents can pick out a can of partially used paint. Supervisor Stan Johnson, who has worked at the Oshawa site for more than 20 years, said the focus on diver- sion has resulted in a massive behav- iour change in the way residents deal with their waste. “People are amazed at what they can drop off into the different bins here,” he said, adding the site has grown from offering four diversion bins 20 years ago to more than 24 today. “We even have residents who will walk up to others and point out that there are bins for certain materials so it won’t get mixed up,” he said. In addition to the Oshawa site, there are transfer stations in Port Perry and Brock. Each facility accepts the same type of waste and are all open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday. Waste collected in the diver- sion bins goes to a variety of places including local companies that re- use the materials or North American recycling companies that flip it into new products. Contents of the gar- bage bins, which cannot be recycled, are sent to a landfill in upstate New York. All landfills in Durham are closed except for the Brock site, which only takes waste from that community and is set to close in a few years. Every piece of trash has a place to go in Durham SPECIAL REPORT Our trash turned into treasure JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Troy Carleton sorted paint cans Oct. 14 at the Ritson Road transfer station where different diversion programs are available to Durham residents.

The Ajax Profes- sional Fire Fighters’ Association, with the support of the fire department, collected $20,022.37 during its annual boot drive for Muscular Dystrophy Canada on Sept. 17. The organization’s regional manager, Pamela Musgrave, was on hand at a recent Ajax council meeting to accept the cheque from association chairman Wesley van der Valk. “The Ajax firefighters are really making a difference in the lives of those affected and it’s really a pleasure to work with them,” said Ms. Musgrave. She said the Ajax firefighters have been supporting the cause since the 1970s and they raised $6,000 two years ago and $15,000 last year. For their fundraising and awareness efforts, the Ajax firefight- ers were recognized as Muscular Dystrophy Can- ada’s 2011 outstanding fire department in Ontario. As well, firefighter Aaron Burridge, the secretary for the association, was indi- vidually recognized with the Danielle Campo Extra Mile Award for his hard work in recent years for the cause. Ms. Musgrave thanked all the firefight- ers. “They’re heroes in your community, but they’re special heroes for those affected by muscular dystrophy.” COMMUNITY Ajax firefighters raise $20,000 for Muscular Dystrophy Canada 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 • Oc t o b e r 2 1 , 2 0 1 1 14 AP Mike Ruta Entertainment Editor mruta@durhamregion.com durhamregion.comEntertainment Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- When Evelyn Stin- son is on stage playing piano and stomps her foot, she’s not keep- ing time for herself. She’s telling a fellow musician to “get your act together” because they’re out of time. She would know. A player for some 75 years, an appreciation day was held for Stinson earlier this month in Oshawa, attended by more than 360 people. Those who couldn’t make it sent best wishes, and the e-mails came from some of the greatest fiddle players in Canada and the world, many of whom recalled playing with her at the Annual Pembroke Old Time Fiddle and Step Danc- ing Championships. “I remember my first time com- ing to Pembroke, 1992, and walk- ing through the fiddle park,” said Calvin Vollrath of Alberta, consid- ered one of the world’s best fid- dlers. “Stopping by the Blue Fid- dle Tent to listen to the wonderful jam that was going on, I needed to find out who the piano player was because it made the hair on my back stand up with excitement. The energy and pure emotion of the piano player was driving the fiddlers to play with fire.” Closer to home, multiple Cana- dian fiddle champion Mark Sul- livan of Clarington thanked her “for your piano playing and all the support that you have given me over the years. “I know that Old Time fiddling in Canada has been greatly enriched by your years of playing.” The appreciation day was spear- headed by Rod and Rita Craig, who have known Stinson for decades. Rod Craig says too often in bands the lead singer or musi- cian gets all the credit, while the backing players such as the bass or keyboard player aren’t noticed, even though they are essential to the music. “The main thing was for her to enjoy it while she still can,” says Craig, a fiddler. “These back- up musicians aren’t recognized enough for what they contribute.” He notes that when a fellow player gets in a bit of musical trou- ble during a song, a good musi- cian like Stinson won’t leave the person hanging: “They dig right in and help you,” smoothing over the rough spot. For her part, the Oshawa resi- dent was overwhelmed by the event, in the works for months. Stinson was tricked into commit- ting to the date and, when the big day came, a limousine arrived to pick her up. Twenty-four imme- diate family members were there and greetings and best wishes came from politicians, including Oshawa Mayor John Henry. Craig described it as part fiddle club event, part dance and part party, of course featuring Stinson playing with a host of musicians. Country stalwarts Classic Country was the house band for the event. “I just want to thank all the peo- ple who put this on, Rod and Rita especially, and all the people who came,” Stinson says. “It was some- thing I never expected in my life.” She says her father and brother were both great fiddlers and the former “pushed me into it,” put- ting large wooden blocks on the pedals of the pump organ at home so she could reach them. Her par- ents couldn’t afford lessons and she never learned to read music. “It was just something that came to me,” Stinson says. “They were both ear players too.” She’s now very grateful that her father got her into the music he loved. From the time she was born, when her dad played, her mom took her along to his concerts. Her fist gig was a square dance at the Pontypool Hall. She was five years old and continued playing dances and parties. Much in demand as she approaches her 80th birthday next year, Stinson plays with fid- dle clubs in Oshawa, Clarington, Whitby and Port Perry. Craig says “she will never ever refuse to play with anybody.” “She loves to play,” says daugh- ter Pat McPhee. “It has always been a norm in our family that if our mom is not home she is prob- ably off playing somewhere. “Our family was astonished at the turnout and the apprecia- tion so many people have for our mother.” Stinson says she’ll play as long as she’s able. “I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have music,” she says. people Durham pianist celebrated photo by WalteR passaRella OSHAWA -- Above, for all that she means to Durham’s music community, Evelyn Stinson was honoured by friends and admirers at a day of appreciation at the General Sikorski Hall on Oct. 2. She plays piano with many fiddle clubs and entertains at charity functions and nursing homes. special events Meet The Phantom at Ajax’s St. Francis Centre peter karrie performing, speaking with audience AJAX -- The Phantom is coming to Ajax.

And it’s no ordinary concert, as Karrie is lending his support to young people who dream of being on stage. The Local Com- munities concert tour invites local artists -- especially youths and young adults -- to join him on stage. “He will be performing from many of his famous theatri- cal roles, whilst also featuring local performers in such the- atrical favourites as Lion King, Les Miserables, Miss Saigon and, of course, The Phantom of the Opera,” states a press release. For the Phantom portion of the night, Karrie will be joined by soprano Rebecca Timmons. Any singers or dancers, groups and soloists, who want to take part in the show are asked to contact Cheryl Albert immedi- ately at peterkarrietour@rogers. com. At the end of the show, Karrie will be available to speak with the audience. A portion of the proceeds will go to Bobath Children’s Therapy Centre for children with Cerebral Palsy; Karrie is a lifetime ambas- sador of the organization. A donation will also be made to local arts groups in the com- munities that are on the tour as a way of giving back. For tickets, visit stfranciscen- tre.ca or call 905-619-2529, ext. 2787.

Oshawa United Services pres- ents a Festival of Remembrance at The Regent Theatre in Oshawa on Oct. 28. The event is to honour Cana- da’s war veterans and features music from the Oshawa Civic Band, HMCS York Band, the Pipes and Drums of Branch 43, Royal Canadian Legion and the Durham Girls’ Choir. Proceeds go to the Poppy Appeal Fund. “It’s very, very uplifting,” co- organizer Susan Muir says of the evening. “It’s not solemn, sombre; it’s very fast-moving in a lot of cases.” The idea came from Oshawa resident Bill Davies who, in 1989, helped found the Wales Festival of Remembrance in the UK, which turned into a popular annual event. “As time goes on, Legion mem- bership is falling and so are the dues coming in,” he states in a press release. “The poppy appeal is the only way Legions can raise money and they only have a two-week period to raise as much as they can. An event like this can make a big difference.” Muir says the first half of the evening features war-era band music in addition to classics such as Memory and My Fair Lady. “The second half is dedicated to music celebrating the con- tributions of the veterans,” she says. The songs include Beneath the Vigils, and the audience will be encouraged to sing along on some of the traditional songs such as Now is the Hour. “This is one way people can keep the remembrance of the veterans alive,” Muir says. She notes that guests from all over Durham are expected at the 7 p.m. concert. Tickets are $25 each at the Regent box office, 50 King St. E., Oshawa (905-721-3399, ext. 2), or from local Legions and veter- ans’ groups.

Toffoli says that prior to the meeting in early October, he had every intention of staying on board as GM, but his mindset changed when he was asked to take on a different role. “(Rob) said I wasn’t putting a full effort into making the team better, so he wanted to move me into a differ- ent position. After thinking about it and speaking to my wife, I said I didn’t want it and I stepped down,” says Toffoli of how his resignation came about. “Obviously I wish the team was doing better. That’s one regret. We brought some players in to improve the team and it didn’t improve. I think (head coach) Mike Galati is doing a good job with it, but some things are out of our control.” Stein agreed with how the meeting unfolded, adding, “It was time for a change. We both mutually agreed that we would go in separate directions.” For now the GM role will remain vacant, says Stein, add- ing he has plans to fill it, but won’t restrict himself to a time frame. “I’m taking the role of day-to- day operations to reorganize and work with the existing staff to help take the team to a level I truly believe it should be at,” he says. “I’m definitely in the mar- ket at some point in time for a general manager who can come to the team and help us in our rebuild.” Toffoli was the GM in Ajax for two years, and took on the same role when Ajax and Pickering amalgamated prior to the start of the 2010-11 season. From his perch, he says improvements can be made that would help turn the team around. “I think the big thing is to improve their goaltending,” he says. “They just aren’t getting the stops when they need the stops. I believe you build from the goaltender out and I think they are still stuck at the goal- tending stage.” Stein believes that the stigma attached to the Panthers -- who have finished last in their divi- sion four years in a row and occupy the same spot early in this season -- as a losing organization hurts the Ontario Junior Hockey League club. “The biggest problem I find is attracting new players to the team,” he says. “There’s no shortage of us trying to go out and buy new players. We’re will- ing to put the money into the team and get new players. “The Panthers have been a struggling franchise for a very long time. We have to get to that point where we can build up and attract better players. “We’ll make every effort to turn the team around and make it a winner.” The Panthers will be back in action this weekend, hosting Toronto Lakeshore on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and travelling to North York on Sunday for an afternoon game at 3. The Panthers have a record of 2-10-1. rOn PietrOnirO / MetrOLand rain, rain go away OSHAWA -- Kelsey Nicholls of the J.

TORONTO -- The Durham West Junior Lightning had a busy week- end attending the first installment of the USA/Canada Cup tour- nament, hosted by the Toronto Junior Aeros. In the U19/Int AA division, the Lightning faced strong teams from all over the United States, first playing Little Caesars, a team from Detroit to a 1-1 tie. Later on Friday, they faced the New Jersey Rockets and prevailed in a 4-0 victory. On Saturday, the girls faced the NAHA Winterhawks, a prep school team from Vermont and played to a scoreless tie. They then tri- umphed over the Pittsburgh Pen- guins Elite squad, with a 4-2 vic- tory. Although the team had won or tied every game and were in a three-way tie in terms of points, a tiebreaker rule saw them end round-robin play listed in fifth place. On Sunday, they faced Chicago Mission and played a scoreless game and overtime period, losing 1-0 in a shootout. Various Lightning players posted goals and assists throughout the week- end, with Marissa Redmond and Erika Mitrevski leading with three goals each, in addition to Kenne- dy Marchment, Laura Horwood and Emily Kekewich all tallying goals. Kekewich, Marchment, Mit- revski, Michelle Tanel, Sara Lanni and Rebecca Rutherford all had assists. Both goalies, Kimberley Keller and Jackie Rochefort, saw action in net. Before returning to the Provin- cial Women’s Hockey League, the team will travel to upstate New York to face two university teams in exhibition games this weekend. Friday the Lightning play SUNY Oswego and Saturday they face Rochester Institute of Technolo- gy. On Oct. 27, the team faces the Toronto Jr. Aeros in a road game and then hosts the Brampton Thunder on Saturday, Oct. 29 at 8:30 pm at the Ajax Community Centre on Pad 1.

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 When it comes to making vehicles look their best, there is one place that the major car dealerships in Pickering turn to: Shammy’s Auto Detailing. Luckily, Shammy’s is also open to the public, which means you can have your vehicle looking and smelling like new! In business for over 10 years, Shammy’s is well known in the community for their great work. The great staff work hard to clean your vehicle inside and out. There are several different packages to choose from, or you can create your own custom package to suit your needs. The Silver package includes an exterior wash, clean rims, tires and wheel wells, clean windows inside and out, interior vacuum, interior wipe down and dress tires, starting from $29.95. The Gold package includes everything in the Silver package plus an interior shampoo starting from $120. To really make your vehicle shine inside and out, opt for the Platinum package, which adds a clay bar treatment, engine shampoo, exterior compound to remove light scratches and surface oxidization, high speed polish for a sparking shine, paint sealant applicant and minor paint touch-ups, starting at $150. Customers can also opt for fabric protection, an easy way to protect your vehicle’s fabrics from stains and spills. Treating the leather in your vehicle will help prevent cracking, stops the colour from fading and extends the life of the leather. To keep the new car shine, you can get paint seal protection, which will shield your paint from fading and excess oxidization. It also protects against acid rain, repels UV rays and prevents surface corrosion. In addition to detailing, you can bring your vehicle to Shammy’s to protect it from the elements. They offer two rust proofing services. The Dripless Oil System is an advanced treatment that does not drip off, offering superior results by leaving the protection where it should be - on your vehicle! They also offer Black Asphalt Undercoating & Clear Upper Body Rust Protection, which is a long lasting rust protection system that lasts the lifetime of your vehicle and also acts as a sound deadening for less road noise. This system dries solid, making it far superior to other products. Shammy’s offers free shuttle bus service for customers in Pickering, Ajax and Whitby. Shammy’s Auto Detailing is located at 933 Dillingham Road in Pickering. To make an appointment, please call (905) 831-2444 or for more information, please visit the website at www.shammysauto.com.

FOOTBALL Ajax-Pickering Dolphins sweep Markham Football teams close out regular season on winning note MARKHAM -- The Ajax-Pickering Dol- phins marched into the Markham Raiders home town and when the battles were over, the atoms, pee- wees and bantams were victorious, combining to outscore the opposition 142-12. The atoms, relying on the arm of their quar- terback Riley McBride and running back Darius Brown, combined for a total of five touchdowns and 246 yards against the Markham Raiders. Other great offensive plays came from Dasani McIntosh, Aidan Simpson, Kamayu Roberts and Malik Wil- liams, who rushed for some critical yards, while plowing through the Raid- ers’ defense. On the defen- sive end, Aaron Chung, Quintin Phillip, Jonathan Wieder, Callum Brake, Aamarii Notice, Nathan- iel Gordan, Aaron Armit- age, Kelly McBride and Tyler Brooks provided the blocks necessary to pull off a 30-12 win for the Dol- phins. The OMFL league cham- pions Dolphins’ peewees executed the ground- breaking attacks of run- ning backs Craig Gon- salves, Bailey Grimes, Jaid- en Cruz, Tyus Hibbert and D’Andrew Higgins. They combined for a total of seven touchdowns. Kick- ers D’Andrew Higgins and Stephen Sullivan were in best of form as they con- verted five of seven kicks. The best defense in the league continued to do what they do best, pro- viding blocks and tack- les from every angle. Kayl Rodney, Quityn Pettiford and Jaiden Cruz all forced fumble recoveries. Other critical defensive plays came from Shandy Noel, Rasheed Tucker, linemen Quityn Pettiford and Cam- eron Tabatabael, Bran- don Romain, Eric Duthie, Shiomare Peters, Nathan- iel Chung, Tyrell Chung, Keneth Soutter, Khalid Duncan, Jordan Wright, Tyus Hibbert and David Richards, who executed a big sack on the Raiders QB. Dolphins QB King Josiah Ambers provided some great passes. In the end, the Phins shutout the Raiders 52-0. The Dolphins’ bantam team was led by quarter- backs Jaylen La Touche and Justin Aliberti, and the speed and agility of Jus- tice Johnson, Julian Ward- Williams, Jordan Grimes, Tariq Mitradee and Mitch- ell Van Pelt, as they rushed for a total of eight touch- downs. There were four forced fumble recoveries by Shareef Tucker, Kase- an Bennett, George Gou- dogianis, and Alex Dounc- ette. Other big defensive plays came from Dono- van Small, Jordan Grimes, Mark Cruciano, Nathaniel Benjamin, Dylan Colth- irst, Jorin Grant, Matthew Romain, George Goudo- gianis and Max Stuckis- chwaiger. The Dolphins completed the sweep with another shutout, 60-0.
