Farmland part of growth study Pickering councillor says it’s ‘imperative you look at the total picture’ BY MICHAEL PELHAM Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING —Local residents and environmen- talists expressed concern this week protected farm- land in north Pickering may one day be used for de- velopment. However, individuals and groups had their say at Monday’s Pickering planning committee meeting, and councillors passed a motion to include 5,000 acres of easement-protected agricultural land in a growth management study of the Seaton lands. The Seaton lands are part of a provincial swap with developers who own property on the environmentally sensitive Oak Ridges Moraine in Richmond Hill. Pickering is concerned parts of the lands could be- come victim to urban sprawl if development isn’t kept in check. The study is the City’s attempt at making sure “cookie-cutter” growth doesn’t take place, and environmentally sensitive areas are protected. Jim Robb, of the Friends of the Rouge Watershed group, urged councillors to make sure urban planning doesn’t spoil the unique quality of the Seaton envi- ronment. “This city has the privilege of leaving a legacy to make Pickering the most desirable place to live,” Mr. Robb said. The best way to go about development planning, he said, would be to study the land and determine the most environmentally sensitive parts first, then, based on the results, determine where to develop. One Whitevale resident didn’t see the point of studying easement-protected land that’s already been “studied to death. “If the study (on the farmland) is done, then our fears become real (that it could be developed on,” said Scott trial put over until end of May DURHAM ––The case of Durham Crown attorney John Scott, charged with impaired dri- ving and failing to remain at an accident, has been adjourned until later this month following a pretrial meeting in Oshawa court Wednesday. The 55-year-old Ajax man, the region’s senior prosecutor, was charged after a 16-year-old boy was struck by a car while walking with three friends along Rossland Road, east of Harwood Avenue, around 9:30 p.m. on Jan. 29. Durham Regional Police said the driver of the car failed to stop, leaving behind a broken mirror, and returned to the scene a few minutes later. A pretrial meeting was held in Judge Lorna Marshall’s cham- bers with Mr. Scott’s lawyer, Bernie O’Brien, and outside prosecutor John Chalmers. The case was put over until Tuesday, May 28. Y.D.

May 18 @ 2 pm Support Your Canadian Forces 905-420-4620 BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Improving student achievement on provincial test scores is a gradual process achieved through a “sustained, focused commitment”, Susan Perry said Monday night. The Durham Catholic District School Board elementary education consultant was introducing the board’s Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) improvement plan for Grade 3, 6 and 9 students at the board meeting. Each year, following the release of EQAO provincial test scores, the Province requires that boards submit an improvement plan that sets out goals and outlines strategies for improving the results. “One goal is to connect literacy and numeracy through teaching strategies and assessment practices,” Ms. Perry told trustees. She noted EQAO math question di- rections require a fair amount of literacy comprehension skills before students can tackle the problems. In combining words and numbers, the board expects teachers to have a bet- ter understanding of what’s expected for the EQAO assessments, and students to be more comfortable when it’s time to write the test. The board also wants to involve parents more in the learning process and to have them better under- stand current assessment practices and expectations. Ms. Perry said in the past board early learning teams would make presenta- tions to parents at schools that requested it; now the plan’s goal is to have presen- tations for all parents. Mary Gervais, also a board elemen- tary consultant, said other goals for ele- mentary students include better use of mathematics in teaching problem-solv- ing skills, and developing a greater awareness among kindergarten, Grade 1 and 2 students of the reading process, including the use of various reading ma- terials that appeal to both boys and girls. For Grade 9 students, secondary edu- cation consultant Vanessa Taber said the goal is to improve student learning in math by ensuring students are placed at the appropriate level in Grade 9. The board plans liaisons between high schools and elementary schools to in- crease students’ confidence and help them succeed. The board proposes improving the student-teacher ratio in Grade 9 applied mathematics classes by lowering class sizes to between 15 and 20 students. Grade 9 applied math test scores on the EQAO test were low across the province, with only 13 per cent of stu- dents achieving the provincial standard or better. Just five per cent of board stu- dents met or surpassed the standard. “In my view, the test was too difficult and maybe it needs to be revised,” said programs superintendent Gerry Blake. “The applied level of difficulty contin- ues to be a concern to all educators. We do not see a continuity in the scores be- tween applied and advanced (math re- sults).” Oshawa Trustee Stan Karwowski noted that when he was growing up par- ents didn’t get very involved in their kids’ homework. He suggested parents become more hands-on with teaching during the summer break Education director Grant Andrews said also he would like to see more parental involvement. “I think one of the things they could do well is walk them to the library,” he said.

I thought I’d be left alone. I didn’t think anybody would believe me... because my dad was a police officer,” said the 20- year-old woman. Her father, a 49-year-old Durham Region resident, is on trial in Superior Court of Justice accused of sexually assaulting his two daughters. The accused, who cannot be named to protect the identities of the complainants, was charged by Durham Regional Police in March 2000 with two counts each of sexu- al assault, sexual interference and sexual exploitation. Crown attorneys Greg O’- Driscoll and Dawn Way allege the man abused his eldest daughter from the time she was four or five years old until she was about 17, and his younger daughter while she was between 13 and 15. During testimony Wednesday, the older daughter recounted the first time her father assaulted her. “I was four or five at the time,” she told Justice John Sheppard, who is hearing the case without a jury. She said she was in the bedroom with her sister when her father came in and carried her down to the living room couch, where he normally slept. “He placed me on top of him, on top of his pelvis. I was in a night- ie... I didn’t understand at first,” said the woman, who was overcome with emo- tion several times dur- ing her testimony. Throughout the next dozen years, she said her father assault- ed her three or four times each week in the family home, though no intercourse oc- curred. When she was about 17, just prior to her parents separating, the woman learned her father had a girlfriend, and that this brought her relief. “I was happy because it made all the abuse stop towards me,” she said. Court heard she even- tually disclosed the abuse to a family counsellor she was seeing to help deal with her parents’ separa- tion. Soon after that, she said she told her mother, and then police. She testi- fied she never discussed the abuse with her sister and wasn’t aware she was also al- legedly assaulted until told by a Children’s Aid Society worker. “We were told outside the police station,” said the woman, adding her mother fainted upon hearing the news. The trial continues. NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 17, 2002 PAGE 3 A/P Community news online!

Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland urged fellow councillors to vote against including the agricultural lands in the study, warning it may sug- gest the City is willing to give in to de- velopers wishing to build on the land. He said previous studies, which led to the easements, need to be grounded in a policy recognizing the land is pre- served for farming and should stay that way. “It’s doomed for failure,” Coun. Holland said about including the farm- land in the study. He added it doesn’t make sense to spend money on a study for land that can’t be developed any- way. “We’re walking down a process that will cost an ex- treme amount of money,” he said. However, Ward 1 Region- al Councillor Maurice Bren- ner countered, “water knows no boundaries” and surveying land as part of an environmen- tal assessment must include the whole environ- ment to get the whole picture of factors such as the watershed system. “The prob- lem today is that decisions (about development) are being made in isolation,” Coun. Brenner said. “It is piecemeal plan- ning.” Setting a pol- icy to leave the farmland alone, he said, prede- termines the growth manage- ment study and ignores future impacts that agricultural and developable lands could have on one an- other. “Everything is integrated — urban and agri- cultural,” Coun. Brenner said. “You can’t ground it and say you’re going to ignore it. It’s imperative you look at the total picture, the interrela- tions and impacts. “It cannot be fragmented, you can- not seclude it.” Only councillors David Pickles and Holland opposed the motion.

Starlight Childrens Foundation BBQ May 18, 2002 11am-4pm Meet Janet & Greta PodleskiMeet Janet & Greta Podleski BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —The federal government plans to do the right thing with lands expro- priated for the Pickering airport, says the transport minis- ter. “Thirty-five years ago the fed- eral government expropriated too much land for the Pickering Air- port, including thousands and thousands of acres of farm- land,” David Col- lenette told an arena full of local business and po- litical leaders, Wednesday night in Clarington. “We have to start turning it back to its original pur- pose.” In April 2001, Mr. Collenette, who is also the minister respon- sible for the Greater Toronto Area, announced the government would take “ap- propriate steps” to ensure the Pickering lands would be desig- nated as airport lands. The an- nouncement was to ensure proper zoning was in place if and when an airport was needed, he said. In January, the minister said he anticipates a re- gional reliever airport will be built in Pickering by 2015. “We can still have a smaller airport some- time in the future” and preserve thousands of acres of environmentally sensitive and agricultural land, the minister said. “There is an opportunity to take that largest piece of undeveloped land in the GTA and use it for the appropriate purpose. A year ago we announced the federal gov- ernment was freezing development of 7,500 acres on the Oak Ridges Moraine that is part of the Pickering lands. This is ecologically- sensitive land. You don’t get an Oak Ridges Moraine everyday. It must be protected and preserved,” Mr. Collenette said.

Have you thought about this rather important question recently? Common sense tells us that no sane person seeks unhappiness. But what, in fact, does it mean to be happy? There are lots of things in life that promise ‘happiness’but few actu- ally deliver. Some deliver for a while but ultimately disappoint. This is an important question, for only a proper understanding of happiness can lead to choices and actions rooted in reali- ty as opposed to our own caprice. Clearly it is not found in the sheer ability to do whatever we want. That’s nothing more than slavery to our pas- sions. True happiness is the ability to pursue the ultimate purpose of our ex- istence, it’s that simple. If you’re reli- gious, that probably means the pursuit of God. But even if you don’t consid- er yourself religious, you still likely recognize that a full stomach and a good job don’t seem to fulfil human desires (if that’s all it took, we’d be the happiest nation on Earth, but alarming rates of abortion, suicide, and divorce clearly show we’re not). We naturally long for a good beyond ourselves: to contribute, to make a difference, to love. But even then our hearts seem pulled unmistakably towards a final perfect goodness, love, and meaning. Although a hearty dinner and big- ger paycheque will never lead to last- ing happiness, many of us spend a lifetime seeking complete fulfilment in precisely such a limited manner: who’s making more, who has the nicer home. When such a frame of mind de- fines our entire existence, how hard it must be to care about things like the intrinsic dignity and protection of human life, for surely such concerns won’t help us win our next promotion. Such a narrow definition of who we are and our purpose in life cannot help but prompt the unsettling thought we are dramatically under-living our lives. How can we possibly know whether our choices in life are good or bad, will help us or harm us, make us ultimately happy or leave us ultimate- ly unfulfilled unless we’ve made an honest attempt to answer the funda- mental question of our life — why? Every important human issue we will ever discuss, from abortion to same-sex relationships hinges on this answer. Given the indescribable joy promised in true human fulfilment, what a great disservice we do to peo- ple by ignoring these questions be- cause of their often-difficult demands. On the journey to happiness – but why? Understanding our choices impossible without answering fundamental question Kevin Belgrave Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 17, 2002 Waterfront trial a true gem for users To the editor: Congratulations to the City of Picker- ing and its waterfront committee for the continuing improvements to our great wa- terfront trail. As a regular walker on the trail between Pickering Beach Road in Ajax, and the Rouge River in Pickering, I am most appreciative of the ongoing work not only by Pickering, but by our sister community, Ajax. The latest link, the bridge over Petti- coat Creek, eliminates the somewhat haz- ardous (and often damp) fording of that stream and at the same time, affords a wonderful view of the valley and river mouth below. The angled design of the bridge, similar to the one over Duffins Creek, the use of construction materials that blend naturally with the surroundings, and the minimal impact of the project on the environment are to be commended. Any Ajax or Pickering citizen who en- joys walking and has not taken advantage of this facility should do so and see first- hand how some of our tax dollars, in my opinion, are being wisely invested for today and the future. Now, if we could only overcome the hurdle presented by the boat entrance to Frenchman’s Bay — either by pontoon boat or an appropriate bridge structure, we would really have a “world class” water- front trail.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER MAY 17, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Now that he has seen his vision of a dual college/university come true, Gary Polonsky, the president of Durham College/University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), is determined to make sure nothing gets in the way. That’s why the dynamic post-secondary school leader spoke to Durham council a few days ago and laid it on the line for municipal politicians. Money talks said the academic, and politicians should listen. “It (the college/university) will have a minimum economic im- pact, annually, estimated at over a billion dollars. The only major problem is transit,” said Mr. Polonsky. Durham has grown tremendously since Mr. Polonsky came to the college over a decade ago. More students than ever are interested in taking courses at the north Oshawa campus. But that’s nothing com- pared to the explosion of interest the college/university will gener- ate over the next decade. Should Durham land the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project, UOIT and Durham College will receive an even greater demand on its services. UOIT is expected to open its doors in time for the ‘double co- hort’ in September 2003. While the university will start small, its projected to grow in leaps and bounds. The combined student pop- ulation of Durham/UOIT by 2020 is expected to be an eye-popping 28,000 according to Mr. Polonsky. The majority of those students will need fast, efficient, state-of- the-art transit connections. For that matter, Durham’s rapidly ex- panding population needs improved transit. That’s why regional politicians must work together to figure out an effective way to deliver transit across the region so that students who live in Clarington, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Port Perry or Uxbridge can attend the college/university without having to move away from home or buy a car. After all, post-secondary tuition con- tinues to climb and the cost of a university/college education is only getting more expensive. Pickering Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner asked Mr. Polonsky if Durham/UOIT would be willing to subsidize the cost of a regional transit system. “We’ve said in every meeting we’ve had with the regional transit folks we’re not looking to hit up the taxpayer,” he responded. “We understand we have to pay our fair share. We are prepared to subsi- dize students and our students are prepared to pay a certain amount.” Councillors must lay the groundwork for an intricate system by making sure an east-west regional artery, Taunton Road perhaps, can handle transit traffic. They’ll also have to work with local systems in each municipal- ity to make sure the system is cost-effective. It’s a major challenge but one that must be met in the next few years.

A/P PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 17, 2002 Just the fax: 905-683-7363 Durham students will have their own cross to bear Catholic board prepares to celebrate arrival of World Youth Day cross BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Students from the Durham Catholic school board’s seven high schools will carry the World Youth Day cross through south Oshawa June 12, ending with a mass at Lakeview Park for hundreds of pupils. The cross is the symbol of the Roman Catholic youth event, to be held July 18 to 28 in Toronto. Hundreds of thousands of young people from around the world are slated to attend, making World Youth Day 2002 the largest inter- national conference ever held in Canada. Pope John Paul II presented the four-metre wooden cross to a delegation of young Canadians in Italy in anticipation of the event. Since then it has been taken to communities across Canada, with the final leg of its journey to Toronto a 43-day walking pil- grimage that began in Montreal April 28. The cross will be carried into Bowmanville June 5 and the fol- lowing day it arrives in Oshawa. It is then on loan to the Durham Catholic District School Board June 12. Sharron McKeever, the board’s religious education con- sultant, said at Monday’s board meeting the cross is being carried along Hwy. 2. “The cross seems to have a strong impact on people who see it,” she told trustees, noting those along the route are leaving what they’re doing to go outside and see it. Ms. McKeever outlined the June 12 itinerary in which the cross will be taken out into the Oshawa community, with stops at two Catholic elementary schools. The cross arrives at Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Sec- ondary School early in the morn- ing and will be carried in the en- trance procession of a mass to be celebrated in the gymnasium. Oshawa Trustee Stan Kar- wowski suggested using the Os- hawa Civic Fields as the venue for the mass instead of Pereyma so more students could partici- pate. Ms. McKeever said while that was the original plan, the cost of busing students was “incredible” and there was no guarantee buses would be available. Pickering Trustee Fran Pereira noted “the cross will be in each municipality” in south Durham before World Youth Day begins, giving local residents an opportu- nity to see it. After the mass at Pereyma, students from the school are to carry the cross to Conant Park, where they will hand it over to students from the board’s other Catholic high schools for the walk to Lakeview Park, starting at 9:30 a.m. Their route will take them along Nelson and Waterloo streets, Ritson Road South and Simcoe Street South, Thomas and Cedar streets, Dwight Avenue and Oxford Street, with a stop at Monsignor Phillip Coffey Catholic School. The plan is for students to then walk east on Emerald Avenue, south on Cedar Street and east on Chaleur Avenue with a stop at Canadian Martyrs Catholic School. The cross will then be carried along streets in the Valley Drive/Ritson Road South neigh- bourhood, with the last leg of the walk on Wicker Drive and Lake- view Park Avenue into the park, where the cross is slated to arrive at noon. Roughly 600 Catholic high school students will assemble in the park for a liturgy and a barbe- cue. The cross is scheduled to be in the following Durham communi- ties in June and July: June 5, Bowmanville; June 6, Oshawa; June 7, Whitby/Pickering; June 12, Oshawa (Durham Catholic District School Board); July 9, Oshawa; July 10, Whitby; July 11, Ajax.

The Ontario government has also set up a site, www.wydontario.com, to keep Ontario residents and business people informed about the event. 366 Old Kingston Rd., West Hill, 416-281-9966 MOTHER We’re Closer than you think!

To help, the Canadian Cancer Society and the Canadian Dermatology Association are in the midst of Sun Awareness Week, which runs until May 20. The theme this year is sun and sports, fo- cusing on using protection when taking part in outdoor activities such as walking, golf- ing or cycling. Although the week is wrapping up, the summer is filled with sun and the cancer so- ciety has a few tips to use when in the sun: • Reduce sun exposure between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and seek shade or create your own when possible; • Slip, slap, slop: Slip on clothing to cover arms and legs, slap on a broad- brimmed hat and sunglasses, and slop on sunscreen with an SPF of at least No. 15; • Reapply sunscreen regularly, especially after playing in the water; and • Babies under one year old should be kept out of direct sunlight. For more information on sun protection or skin cancer, call the Canadian Cancer So- ciety at 1-888-939-3333 or visit www.on- tario.cancer.ca.

Volunteers still needed to help stage annual celebration BY SARAH TEPER Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING —Rain or shine the Frenchman’s Bay Festi- val will be swinging into action as usual next month. “Everything is fine,” said festi- val president Dave Johnson. “We’re on schedule.” Located in Pickering at the foot of Liverpool Road by the lake, the 11th annual festival offi- cially begins June 7 and runs until June 9, although the midway rides open June 6. This year’s theme is the habi- tat of the Frenchman’s Bay and the wildlife surrounding it. “We want to bring awareness to people,” said Mr. Johnson. “There will be seminars and a beach tour on Saturday.” The event is filled with entertainment and activities for all ages. There will be musical shows from the Pickering Concert Band and a jazz band, a street dance, craft sales, the midway, a bar- tending race and more. Admission and entertainment is free. However, there is a cost for food and the rides. Last year’s festival brought out 15,000 people and four days of great weather. “We’re expecting the same,” Mr. Johnson said. “We get a lot of the same faces and the people of Pickering have come to expect it (the festival).” And with all the planned activ- ity comes the need for some help. “Volunteers are needed to work a few hours on any day,” said Mr. Johnson.

James Farrell twists, spins and zig-zags to get local news to your door BY SARAH TEPER Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING —It’s a Wednesday afternoon and James Farrell is wearing inline skates and standing beside a white, paper-filled cart filled with local news. Three days a week, rain, snow or shine, he takes an hour and a half to distribute the Pick- ering News Advertiser along his assigned route. James’s thirst for employ- ment began seven months ago when he decided he wanted to be a paper boy after watching an- other young boy bring papers to his house. “I felt like getting a job, too,” said the quiet, 10-year-old. His first route consisted of 110 houses, which was quickly reduced to 50. “It was a little too much,” James admitted. He delivers to homes in an area of south Pickering that con- sists of a few big hills, making it a little hard to push the cart. Some days you’ll see him zigzagging back and forth across the road to each house, while on others he heading up one side of the street and then coming back up (the hill) to do the other. Today the delivery is pure art. Along the route James is show- ing off twists, spins and other fancy footwork in his skates, moves he admits are self-taught. “It’s worth it because I get paid. It’s fun and it gives me ex- ercise and fresh air,” he said, adding every four weeks when he goes collecting he usually earns $60 to $100. Unlike other 10-year-olds, however, who run to the store to buy toys, games or candy with their money, James puts his money in the bank. He’s saving up to buy a 3-D video card that will provide better graphics for his games. “James is very wise with his money,” said his mother, Mary Anne Farrell. A typical delivery day (he’s out each Wednesday, Friday and Saturday) actually begins the day before when the flyers arrive for inserting in the paper. A Grade 4 student at Blais- dale Montessori in Pickering, James starts his deliveries Wednesdays and Fridays after coming home from school around 4 p.m. He starts stuffing the papers with fliers in his garage around 4:30 p.m., which usually takes about 30 minutes. The day and mode of trans- portation determines how fast it takes to finish his route. He mostly wears his inline skates and can have the papers delivered in an hour. Walking and snow slow him down because it’s hard to push the cart. (He opted out of using the carrier bag because it was too big). James noted his quickest time to date is 17 minutes. “I was with my uncle and sis- ters,” he said. Wednesdays prove to be busiest for James because he has Cubs at 6 p.m. That means hur- rying home and being done be- fore 5:30 p.m. “Those days I’m constantly telling James to hurry up,” ad- mitted Mrs. Farrell, who added he can dawdle sometimes. Delivering the News Adver- tiser has become a family affair. James said when he is sick two of his three sisters come to his rescue (he also has a brother) and most days you’ll find his mom helping to stuff and deliver as well. “This is our little time togeth- er. My one on one with James,” Mrs. Farrell said. “We’ll talk on the route.” James admitted the only thing he doesn’t like about having a paper route is it takes away his free time. “Sometimes I want to do other things like go on the com- puter,” he said. As for collections, James re- called one time a man who he could rarely get at home gave him $20. The computer and inline skat- ing are two of James’ favourite pastimes. He also likes basketball and has been playing the piano since he was four. “I hardly watch television,” said James, but added he does like to catch ‘Friends’ and the movie ‘Blade 2’. As his route ends, James be- gins pushing the empty cart back home with everyone a winner. Satisfied customers get their paper and James is ready for some free time. He’s coming to a door near you JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo Pickering News Advertiser carrier James Farrell is a quick and reli- able boy who delivers on time and with a smile to his customers.

Sometimes over- looked by gardeners intent on achieving a “one time cost” thereby favoring perennials or grasses, annu- als can provide dashes of predictable colour with a minimum of care ~ no staking, no dividing required. A few of the essential tasks the gardener must do for their annual flowers are: regular removal of faded or finished booms (dead-heading); supplemental watering during hot, humid or dry weather and regular feeding every two weeks with an all- purpose fertilizer. Annual flowers reward the gardener with a continu- ous bloom period, producing flower after flower after flower for many months. Geraniums continue to be a ‘classic’ favorite in the sunny annual border, container, planting or hang- ing basket in many hues of red, pink, peach, and white. For best results, do not over water geraniums, but allow the soil to dry out between water- ings, remove faded blooms and don’t forget fertilizing. Impatiens and begonias are suited for the shady portions of the annual border and are usually one of the last plants still busy flowering when the hard frost hits in October. These plants will not only grow taller but also wider and a mixed border of different colours looks very full and lush. Impatiens and begonias are available in both a single and double flower and a wide variety of colours. Another interesting annual for those shady areas of the garden is coleus - multi patterned leaves in a wide assortment of colours, sizes, and pat- terns. The petunias continue to delight and amaze the gardener with new and exciting varieties and colors. When a fellow gardener exclaims that they planted only one “new Visions of The Garden Janice J.

Gardening advice brought to you by the Ajax in Bloom Garden Competition commit- tee. Want to get into "potscaping"? Don't limit yourself to annuals- try perennials, ornamental grasses, houseplants, herbs and vegetables. Pots can moved around the garden as accents or to fill in bare spots. Consider the following: *Planting medium- soilless mixes blended with triple mix provide a good start. * Drainage-contain- ers must have free flow- ing drainage holes. Broken pottery can pre- vent drainage holes from clogging. * Moisture- check pots every day, and water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry. * Nutrition-contain- er plants have higher nutritional needs- try an organic fertilizer from your garden centre. * Container-try some new containers, or refur- bish older ones with a bit of paint and imagination. * Plant selection- check plant requirements. Sunny locations are good for most, but they may need daily watering; but cool shady locations aren't tolerated by every- thing either! Top-heavy plants may need support. * Pests-reduce pests by providing optimum growing conditions and good air circu- lation. Let your imagination and personal preferences be your guide while you're shopping, but here are some tried and true choices. * Annuals:impatiens, begonia, geranium, lobelia, fuchsia, vinca vine, german ivy, biddens, ornamental grass and petunia. Mix together for a riot of color and texture or plant singly for a brilliant splash of color. * Perennials:hosta, daisy, crane's bill, thyme, sedum, primula, lady's mantle, orna- mental grass and coral bells. Choose plants that will stay low and compact for tidier containers. Consider plants that bloom all at once for a midseason splash or a pro- gression of flowering times for a season-long display. * Herbs:(perennials): thyme, mint, lavender, chives, fennel, oregano, sage, chives and bergamot; (annuals): rosemary, scented geraniums, sweet bay, lemon verbena, french tarragon, and pineap- ple sage. * Vegetables:Tomatoes, beans, peas, cucumber, squash, pumpkin and lettuce. Check garden centres for new products and books on the newly acknowledged art of potscaping. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kathryn Carnegie, master gardener, and Susanne Lowe, NPD, are coordinators of the Ajax in Bloom Garden Competition.

The local provincial park is closed this weekend, due in large part to the after-ef- fects of the eight-week old OPSEU strike. Work needed to prepare the park for the summer season couldn’t be carried out far enough in advance as the strike, which started March 13, ended only May 6. Darlington won’t be ready for campers until May 24. Staff are still preparing the grounds, cleaning up debris and testing water sys- tems. “I think the main objective is to make sure the parks are safe; in the case of Dar- lington, it’s going to take a little extra work to do that,” said Greg Maude of Ontario Parks. He said there were a lot of windstorms along Lake Ontario while the park was closed and many trees and branches were knocked over during the storms. The debris has to be cleared and trees have to be trimmed to make sure sites are safe for visitors. To find out which parks are open for May 17, visit www.OntarioParks.com.

Parkside students will ei- ther attend that new school, scheduled to open in 2003, or Exeter High School, which is being converted into an elementary facility at the end of this school year. When the Durham Dis- trict School Board in Janu- ary approved the closure of Parkside, the school council objected that students in the immediate area of Parkside had to attend Exeter. Parkside parent Jennifer Longo at the May 6 standing committee meeting said par- ents “respectfully object” to the notion of dividing the population. Accepting the school closure was hard enough, she said, “you have now asked us to give up some of our children and we can’t. “We are not requesting transportation. We are sim- ply requesting that the chil- dren be fully grandfathered so that they do not have to submit out-of-boundary ap- plications every year (in order to attend Carruthers Creek).” Ajax Wards 3 and 4 Trustee Melinda Crawford said she was concerned about the issue and asked fa- cilities superintendent Jack Massie, “is this workable and can we have a report be- fore I forward any motion?” Mr. Massie replied the new, 650-pupil school is ex- pected to open under enrol- ment capacity but be full by 2005. Grandfathering all the students would present a cost to the board because portables would have to be added to the site. Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler said she supported parents’ request. “I would hope my col- leagues around the table would be empathetic,” she said. “Sometimes you have to consider the children in- stead of the dollars.” Gail Elliott, Ajax schools superintendent, agreed to work with the school princi- pal and council on a survey to determine how many stu- dents walk to Parkside. The parents contend 50 to 100 students live in the immediate area of the school and that adding them to the new school’s population shouldn’t be an issue. Dawn O’Hara, Parkside’s school community council co-chairman, in an interview said even if the survey shows there are more than 100 students walking to Parkside, it should not pre- vent the board from trying to accommodate parents. “It makes it a little tricki- er... but to me that’s not a ‘no’,” she said. “We have to look at it in a slightly differ- ent light, but we can still look at it.” Ms. Elliott said in an in- terview she “can understand where the parents are com- ing from” and that it’s im- portant to meet with and lis- ten to the community. As it has done in the past when a school closes, the board was already looking at grandfathering the Parkside Grade 8s so they could re- main together as a group. But, Ms. Elliott suggested grandfathering all students might not be in the cards. “To have a look at all of (the students), I’m not sure that’s going to go any- where,” she said. A PAGE 20 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 17, 2002 Parkside parents seek choice in where kids attend school GAIL ELLIOTT She ‘can understand where the parents are coming from.’ ‘Smartcard’ use to end sooner in Ajax Bus cards will no longer be accepted after June 28 AJAX —The date is being moved up for when ‘smartcards’ will no longer be accepted on Ajax buses. Last week, Ajax Picker- ing Transit Authority offi- cials announced the cards would be phased out by the end of the summer. But, now it’s going to happen sooner because the equip- ment used needs mainte- nance work. Officials decided that rather than spend money on the work, the smartcard machines would be re- moved. As of Tuesday, May 21, smartcard users won’t be able to add to their account and as of Friday, June 28, the cards will no longer be accepted. Smartcards are comput- erized cards that allow rid- ers to deposit money into an account and have fares deducted as they use the cards. Ajax was a pioneer in the use of the transit technology. Pickering did- n’t have the technology on its buses. The Ajax and Pickering transit systems were merged last year. During the phase-out pe- riod, passengers can ex- change the balance on their smartcards for either a multi-ride or monthly pass. This can be done at the APTA head office, next to the Ajax GO station, or at ‘fare exchange bus’ loca- tions. A special fare exchange bus will be at the Ajax GO station Mondays and Fri- days from May 27 to June 21, between 6 and 9 a.m. APTA staff will be able to answer questions or ex- change cards for passes. To further assist passen- gers, the transit head office will be open Saturdays from May 25 to June 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. “We need to have the ability to interchange for- mer Pickering and Ajax transit buses,”APTA gener- al manager Ted Galinis said. “With the existing technology in place, the former Pickering Transit buses cannot be used in Ajax and as a result, we are unable to maximize utiliza- tion of the combined APTA bus fleet.” Smartcards may be rein- troduced sometime in the future, he added, as APTA is working with other GTA transit providers to create a universally-accepted smart- card for use on all buses and commuter rail services. “Although both Ajax and Pickering support the use of Smartcards for tran- sit, a major expenditure for new technology will only be considered when we’re sure that provincial funding is secure and the GTA part- ners agree on a common smartcard and fare-collec- tion system,” Mr. Galinis said. Effective May 25, an in- terim June pass will be available for Ajax passen- gers. For more information, call the APTA offices at 905-427-5710. DURHAM —Funding for one of the province’s most important wetlands and recreation programs in south Oshawa repre- sent two of the largest grants made recently in Durham Region by the Ontario Trillium Foundation. The good work of the Friends of the Sec- ond Marsh will get a boost over the next four years with a total of $300,000 for education- al programs, community awareness and the development of an interpretive centre. The South Oshawa Community Develop- ment Project will receive $224,700 over three years to ensure recreation-based programs over the long term, while developing commu- nication strategies and attracting more volun- teers. Kingsview United Church in Oshawa, where a plethora of community activities take place throughout the year, is lined up for $75,000 over three months to replace the church roof. North Durham Hospice is getting $75,000 over two years to help enhance its bereave- ment programs, increase community aware- ness and strengthen its fund-rais- ing. The Region of Durham Branch of the Canadian Red Cross will re- ceive $72,700 over two years to support ongoing operations and community awareness of the per- sonal disaster assistance program in Durham Region, Northumber- land, Peterborough, City of Kawartha Lakes and the Town of Haliburton. The Clarington Concert Band Inc. has been awarded a grant of $70,000 over six months to support the band’s participation in the Great Canadi- an Town Band Festival in June. The Oshawa Curling Club will be able to apply a permanent surface on the arena with the $12,000 it will receive over three months, reducing the club’s ongoing maintenance costs. The Ontario Trillium Foundation is a Ministry of Culture agency that receives $100 million each year in government funding from the Province’s charity casino initiative.

Jackson Directed by George Lucas Ten years after the events of ‘The Phan- tom Menace,’ the Republic is in turmoil. A separatist movement has taken hold in hundreds of planets, and poses a powerful threat to even the Jedi. Amidst the chaos, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) are reunited with Padmé Amidala (Natalie Port- man) after her life is threatened. Amidala, the former Queen of Naboo, is now a Sena- tor, and her passionate views make her a target, especially in the eyes of the separatists. Obi-Wan makes a trip to the fur- thest reaches of the galaxy to try and uncover who is behind the threat on Padmé’s life and crosses paths with the feared bounty hunter Jango Fett (Temuera Morrison), who travels with his son Boba (Daniel Logan). Meanwhile, Anakin travels with Padmé to Tatooine, where he makes a fateful discovery. The challenges Obi-Wan and Anakin face will not only impact their own lives, but the lives of mil- lions, as the Clone Wars begin. ABOUT A BOY Starring Hugh Grant, Toni Col- lette, Rachel Weisz Directed by Chris Weitz ‘About A Boy’ is about a man –– a handsome, rich, shallow, self-ab- sorbed, irresistible cad –– and the unexpected relationship he develops with a boy he meets while trying to pick up another boy’s mother. Terminally single and ecstatically child-free, Will (Hugh Grant), a trendy 38-year-old Londoner, spends his days buying new CDs, shopping for designer clothes and worrying about his Audi Coupe and up-to-the- second hairstyle. Nights, whenever possible, are devoted to beautiful women. Work? What’s that? Thanks to a ubiquitous Christmas standard written by his dad and recorded by everyone from Elvis to the Muppets, Will doesn’t have to work like the rest of the world. The royalties rolling in have enabled him to make a profession –– an art, really –– out of avoiding responsibility. A no-strings fling with a single mom turns on the proverbial lightbulb over his head: maybe a good place to meet women would be single-parent support groups. And so, posing as a single dad with a fictitious two-year-old, he joins SPAT –– Single Par- ents, Alone Together. Well on his way to charming a single mom named Suzie (Victoria Smurfit), he in- advertently bonds with a 12-year-old misfit named Marcus (Nicholas Hoult), the latchkey son of Suzie’s best friend.

Included in the past couple of months has been another provincial crown at the midget ‘AA’level, includ- ing two goals in a 3-1 title-clinching win for her Ajax and Pickering-based Durham West Lightning over the Brampton Canadettes. That was followed by a provincial title with her Uxbridge Secondary School teammates at the OFSAA A/AA championships where she scored once in the championship game, a 3-2 overtime win over Almonte. And to top it off? Well, the Grade 10 student will be leaving the comfort and familiarity of her current digs and enrolling at the National Sports Academy (NSA) in Lake Placid, New York, next fall to pursue her interest in hockey. The majority of her tuition and ex- penses will be covered through a scholarship. She originally piqued the interest of recruiters south of the border at the provincial championships in Brampton last season. “I didn’t even know there were scouts at the tournament watching,” she recalled. Another school in the area, North- wood, also expressed interest, but the 15-year-old right-winger decided at NSA “the programs were a lot better. They concentrate more on hockey, but you have to keep your grades up.” She’s hoping that by playing at a U.S. high school she will get increased exposure as she attempts to spring- board into a university scholarship. “To get somewhere in hockey would be nice,” she laughed. While she is anxious to begin an- other chapter in what has been a story- book 2002 thus far, Danielle is aware of the pitfalls of moving away from home and into an unfamiliar environ- ment. “It’s going to be tough to leave my family and friends, but I know I’ll be back. The first couple of weeks will be rough but I know I will get over it.” JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo Malinda Denbok, right, of the Archbishop Denis O’Connor Chargers, keeps the ball away from Exeter Falcons Kirsty Moore during senior girls’soccer play Wednesday afternoon.DO’C won 2-0. AJAX — The Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School Chargers senior girls’ soccer team con- tinued its unbeaten string on the pitch after a victory over a crosstown rival Wednesday afternoon. DO’C improved its Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) league record to 6-0-3 after a 2-0 home victory over the Exeter Falcons varsity squad. DO’C coach Frank Baxter admitted his charges may meet their toughest test of the year next Thursday afternoon when they travel to Pickering to meet the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs, another unbeaten team, in their final league game. “I think us and St. Mary, along with Exeter, Dunbarton and Pickering High in the west have pretty equal teams,” said Baxter. Baxter noted juggling players to fill specific roles at key times against Ex- eter proved to be the difference in what was otherwise a closely-contested game between two well-matched rivals. “We switched some players around to fill certain holes we had and capital- ize on their weaker areas and that seemed to work,” he said. Dawn Rynberk opened the scoring in the early going of the first half, while Sarah Playfair added an insurance marker with about five minutes remain- ing in the second half. The Chargers host Central from Os- hawa Wednesday afternoon before meeting St. Mary. Quarter-final playoff action begins Monday, May 27 in the ‘AAA’ catego- ry, with semifinals Wednesday, May 29 and the LOSSA final Thursday, May 30.

Members of the Durham Rowing Club, which has been in existence since 1990, are back on the waters of Lake Scugog for another season. President Michael Maher says the club has added $100,000 worth of new equipment in the past three years, through a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. The grant has allowed the club to grow to 60 members involved at the novice, junior and senior age levels. The club gets many of its mem- bers from Durham high schools, Maher said. Sixty kids is the maximum the group can have, Maher said, because “we have a limited number of boats.” The success of Canadian rowers in the Olympics throughout the past decade “in- creases awareness” of the sport among area athletes, Maher said. The club practices three times a week, at 6 a.m. in Port Perry. Being a member of the rowing club “requires training and commitment”, said Maher. Club members are divided into crews of four and eight, who train together for an hour, Maher said. The Durham Rowing Club will compete in several regattas this season. The club will also be competing May 25 in London, Belleville on June 8 and Port Perry on June 15. In addition to the 60 high school kids, the club is one of the first in Canada to have an adaptive program for mentally challenged people, Maher said. They had 16 students out last year and Maher said they hope to recruit more this year.

Excluding Holidays - till May 31 Riverside Golf Club is the Third Qualifying Site for the Fourth Annual Durham Region Hole in One Shootout. Now in its 17th season, this beautifully maintained 9-hole course will challenge even the most experienced golfer attracting many junior golfers, ladies and husbands and wives. There are 2 par 5s, 5 par 4s and 3 par 3s with water coming into play on every hole. Aside from four ponds, Duffins Creek meanders though the course. Straight shots are required for a low score. Memberships are available but Riverside is mainly a public course that takes golfers on a first come first serve basis. There is a licensed clubhouse with a new patio with umbrellas. You can also get a bite to eat while you’re there. Tournaments are welcome and gas carts are available. Golf Hints:A demanding shot is required in a successful approach to this green. Depending on the location of the pin, club selection and ball flight will be the main priorities. A back left pin placement requires a soft draw with pre- cise distance control to hold the green. A pin placement on the right demands a high fade to give the ultimate chance to knock it tight. An extra club may be neces- sary for the approach to this slightly ele- vated green. Good Luck!
