Located at 82 Kings Cres., the official opening of the shelter was held on Mon- day, attended by about 100 supporters, financial contributors and service provid- ers. Work on the shelter began in 2003, said Jamie Robinson, the chairman of the board for Durham Youth Housing and Support Services. There was no youth shelter in Durham Region and “we knew the problem with homeless youth. Youth were heading into Scarborough and Toronto, or they were couch surfing,” he said. The latest statistics available found there were 300 youths staying in adult shelters in Durham Region, said Mary Dunlop, the shelter’s executive director. “There’s no way of knowing how many went out of town, to Peterborough or to Toronto,” she said. Neily, 17, said staying at the facility is “pretty good actually,” while Devon, 17, of Oshawa, said, “It’s OK. It’s a good environ- ment,” noting she has no contact with her parents. The official opening was held in the backyard of the house. “It’s a celebration worth happening,” Ms. Dunlop said. “It was a long time coming.” It opened on April 7 and since then 35 youths have stayed there, she said. “Some have returned home; some found a place in the community and some are still here,” said Ms. Dunlop. “There’s clearly a need for housing for youth when they are having difficulty with housing,” she said. “It’s quite a momentous day. I grew up down the street, so I know this is a tremen- dous neighbourhood. It’s a wonderful fam- ily neighbourhood, a wonderful place to be,” said April Cullen, an Oshawa Region- al Councillor and the head of Durham’s health and social services committee. “It’s better than being on the streets of downtown Oshawa or trying to find a rooming house or someone to take you in,” Ms. Cullen said. “We helped the organization to find a location in Ajax,” Ajax Regional Councillor Colleen Jordan said. “We welcome this fa- cility in our community and we’re pleased to support you in any way we can. We trust you will enjoy your new home.” Presenting a cheque for $50,000 was Rev- erend Elaine Sveet of the Port Perry and Port Albert United Church. “We’re so happy to be part of this proj- ect,” Rev. Sveet said. “We’re not a large mega-church. This is a lot of people giving ‘Safe haven’ for youths opens Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Jamie Robinson, chairman of Durham Youth Housing and Support Services, and Mary Dunlop, executive director, stand in front of the newly opened shelter in Ajax for homeless and at-risk youth. ✦ See Ten, Page 2 Edna planning for retirement United Way CEO leaves in December NEWS/2 Pulitzer award for local writer Ajax writer takes on child labour ENTERTAINMENT/16 comWHY BEIN G PEANUT FREE IS SO IMPORTAN T Reasons to reconsider 11 07OCT AMETROLAND DURHAM REGION MEDIA GROUP NEWSMAGAZINE www.durhamparent.com SEE LEADERSHIP ON PAGE 7 HELP!

Ways to work with your kids 4 3 SIMPLE STEPS T O TAK E CONTROL Be firm, fair and c onsistent 13 BY DANIELLE HARDER There are many good reasons to try to eat together as a family once a day. It’s a chance to slow down, connect and share everyone’s day. Increasingly, research is also showing family meals are better for children’s physical, emotional and mental health. According to a study published last month, families who eat together may have healthier kids in the long term. The fi ndings, which appear in the Jour- nal of the American Dietetic Association, suggest children who connect with their parents at mealtimes are more likely to have a healthier diet as young adults. The study followed 1,700 teenagers for fi ve years and found those who ate the most meals with their families tended to eat bet- ter as they got older, including eating more fruits and vegetables. This new research bolsters previous studies that found children who share a meal with family several times a week are less likely to smoke, drink alcohol, use drugs or become sexually active. They also tend to do better academically and have better mental health. Unfortunately, while science suggests families make more attempts to eat togeth- er, economic forces are working against them. According to Statistics Canada, workers spend an average of 45 minutes less per day with family members in 2005 than they did 20 years earlier. The length of the workday has also ex- panded, cutting into what was traditionally the family dinnertime. On average, Cana- dians now work about 30 minutes longer each day than they did a generation ago. Exacerbating the meal crunch is simply the fast-paced and full lives of many fami- lies today. Children are often involved in more extra-curricular activities and have more homework to get through each night, than their parents did as kids. So, what to do? Start by doing some ‘investment’ cook- ing: double a meal one night and freeze half for later or set aside one afternoon on the weekend to cook several meals that can be tucked away in the freezer for busy nights. Next, save yourself time by purchasing pre-cut vegetables. Yes, they cost more but you’re more likely to use them and less likely to be pitching out brown broccoli next week. Even onions – the most dreaded of kitchen chores – are available pre- chopped and frozen. A simple meal, such as bean burritos, can be whipped up in under half an hour. The family meal s till matters MAKE IT A TRADITION Sitting down each day for a family meal, whether it be breakfast or dinner, still holds a lot of value and importance for you and your children. Leadership in education What does it mean to be a leader? In today’s world we recognize that a real leader is a person of action and compas- sion, vision and insight, initiative and responsibility. At Trinity College School, the com- munity recently undertook a long-term planning exercise to understand how they can best prepare students to be leaders – leaders in their local and global communities, leaders within the school and, most importantly, leaders within their own lives. As a result of this community-wide planning initiative, Trinity College School has adopted a new mission statement: developing habits of the heart and mind for a life of purpose and service.

Ms. Klazek announced her re- tirement as the organization’s chief administrative officer dur- ing its annual general meeting on Tuesday. “I decided it was time,” she said in an interview. “At this point, my goal is to retire. Down the road, I might do a little contract work.” Her immediate goal is to “spend more time with my husband, that’s my goal. “In the last two years, there’s been a lot of personal loss in the family,” she said. Ms. Klazek came to the United Way after a 30-year career with the Bank of Montreal, although she had been a volunteer with the organization for many years. “When I came, I thought I’d be here five years and now it’s almost 10 years,” she said. “There are a lot of positive mem- ories,” she said, adding when she announced her retirement at the AGM, she noted, “This is the best job in Durham Region, next to being my husband’s wife.” Ms. Klazek pointed to the volun- teers and staff she has worked with as being the best. “We’ve had a lot of accomplish- ments and it’s gratifying to see it changed and grown,” Ms. Klazek said. “I wanted to be a catalyst for change and I think I have been.” Over the years, she’s worked to ensure a “whole corporate culture of change and staying current with what’s going on in the commu- nity.” Ms. Klazek will remain on the job until December, “so there’s still some time” before she leaves. The organization’s board of directors has established a hir- ing committee and will begin the search for a successor. Brain injuries are something to think about WHITBY — The Whitby Mental Health Centre (WMHC) is encouraging better understanding about the prevention and treat- ment of brain injuries. As part of brain injury aware- ness month, hospital administra- tors and other organizations across the Greater Toronto Area gathered to discuss the prevalent problem. Thousands of Canadians die from traumatic brain injuries each year, according to the Brain Injury Association of Canada. Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) is the leading cause of disability in people under the age of 40. Children, young adults and elderly people are the most at risk. People should be aware of the services available around the community for treating brain injuries, WHMC Administra- tive director of special services Sheryl Bernard said. The WHMC’s Neuropsychiatry Rehabilitation Service provides individualized care for brain injury patients. There were several guest speakers displays at the meeting and a tour of the WHMC was given to attendees.

United Way head stepping down City receives criticism and compliments from Ward 2 residents By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Farmland, growth, garbage, vandalism, traf- fic, safety and noisy neighbours are on the minds of Ward 2 resi- dents. More than 50 people attended Mayor Dave Ryan’s Ward 2 Town Hall meeting last week. Linda Cook praised the City for its recent win on sustainable planning from the Federation of Canadian Mu- nicipalities. “Winning an award on that level shows the commitment on the City’s part,” she said. But she sees too much vandal- ism in the Bay Ridges area and asked the mayor how to manage it. She’s seen a lot of graffiti recently and even saw Balsdon Park get burned to the ground last year. A good way to keep kids from vandalizing, Mayor Ryan said, is to clean up graffiti right away, since that way they can’t show it to their friends and brag about it. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean confirmed Veridian has hired a contractor to clean the graffiti im- mediately on boxes, where much of it takes place. Although some gang activity does exist, Mayor Ryan said many youth partaking in graffiti are “just a bunch of kids who want to be cool.” Ken Devine fears for the traf- fic that will result from the de- velopment of San Francisco By the Bay, saying already traffic was crazy when hydro wires fell on Bayly Street recently, making side streets Radom Street and St. Mar- tins Drive thoroughfares. “The traffic is horrendous now and we’ve got town houses...near- ing completion,” Mr. Devine said. As for the development itself, he said there seems to be no rhyme or reason for it other than the “al- mighty dollar.” Staff will monitor traffic prob- lems, but as for the project going up simply for development dollars, Mayor Ryan said that’s false. Downtown core densities are being increased in municipali- ties along the Lakeshore and when it’s finished it’s going to be an ex- ample of sustainability, he said. Jacqueline Smart is concerned about the amount of growth in the City and fears for the future of Pickering’s Grade-A farmland due to development. Mayor Ryan explained 50 per cent of Pickering’s land continues to be green, something it commit- ted to long before the Greenbelt Plan and similar initiatives came forward. A growth management study is currently underway, which acknowledges the fact that people will be moving to Durham. It’s im- portant to balance the jobs avail- able with the amount of people coming in, he said. For example, with Seaton, the City negotiated with the Province that for 70,000 people coming in, there must be 35,000 jobs available. Ms. Smart also felt “quite honestly, your website is the pits.” The website is being improved, Mayor Ryan said. Ms. Smart was not impressed by 11 Regional Councillors going to Halifax to view a stabilized landfill. Mayor Ryan did not attend, but said he can see why others did, specifically to “see and feel and touch.” OSHAWA Manufacturer Inventory DIRECT Palliser Palliser •• Sklar SklarTrendline Trendline •• Magnussen MagnussenSuperStyle •• Howard MillerHoward Miller NO TAX ** NO TAX ** www.sklargallery.com Exceptional Warranty Superior Construction Fast Delivery ONELOCATIO N ONLY OSHAWA 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 905-723-4561 Hours: Mon.• Tues.• Wed. 10-6, Thurs.• Fri. 10-9, Sat. 10-6, Sun.11-5 life • style • solutions OSHAWA*Colours may not be exactly as shown. **No Tax on fl oor model clearance items only.

He suggested maybe hiring additional bylaw officers. Mayor Ryan said the bad news is it’s not financially viable to hire weekend bylaw officers, but the good news is there aren’t enough complaints to do so. He did suggest that staff look into the possibility of setting up a 1-800 number so officers can follow up during the week. But another resident said sometimes bylaw officers sniff around too often. Gayle Clow asked how more people can vote. Mayor Ryan said it’s important young people get engaged, much like they have with the environment. Also, people angry with the City vote, but others have to get out as well, he said. Vandalism and traffic on the minds of Pickering residents More sirens in Pickering DURHAM — Residents living near the Pickering and Darlington nuclear power plants will continue to hear the sound of sirens while a new public alerting system is being tested throughout the week. The system has been installed in a three-kilometre area around the Pickering and Darlington plants. Residents in the area may hear in- dividual sirens being tested, which will be sounded for less than five seconds. Since it’s a test, residents are not required to take any actions upon hearing the sirens. They’ll be test- ed the week of June 30, including on Canada Day, during daytime hours. For additional information, residents can contact the Public Alerting Information Line at 1- 866-551-5373, or visit the Durham Emergency Management Office section of the Region’s website at www.region.durham.on.ca.

Aaron Powers was hit while crossing Har- wood Avenue on his bike, said his mother Linda. Aaron suffered a knee injury and had to miss a few days of work while recovering, she said. The June 11 incident happened between 2:15 and 2:40 p.m., when Aaron and friends were crossing Harwood. He was hit by a cab driver who helped move the bike to the side of the road, she said, and then got back in the car and drove off. “Police are having a hard time finding the cab,” she said. The cab was turning off Dreyer Drive to go north on Harwood. Aaron and friends were heading west across Harwood when they were hit, she said. The taxi was from Beck, a Toronto firm. “The police sent an e-mail to Beck,” she said. “Nobody turned in a cab with any dam- age to it whatsoever.” Aaron has just finished Grade 11 at Ajax High School. “Everything is OK, except his knee,” Ms. Power said, adding as a motorist, “You shouldn’t leave the scene of an accident.” Her son described the driver as an older African-American gentleman. Aaron has been working at Temuss Prod- ucts Canada, on Mackenzie Avenue south of Bayly Street, for the past two years. He’s also employed helping a friend move computers, but had to stop that following the accident, she said. “He can hardly stand. He had to do it on one leg.” If the police find the driver, “I assume he’ll be charged because he left the scene. I don’t think it’s right to hit a kid, get out, move the bike and drive off. It’s morally wrong to drive off (not knowing) if the individual is dam- aged,” Ms. Powers said. “If I hit someone, I know not to drive off.” Anonymous tips can be made to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 and tipsters may be eligible for a cash re- ward of up to $2,000. Family search for taxi in hit and run Ten youths allowed at any time for a long time. They give from the heart.” Each year the Kingsview United Church in Oshawa holds a walkathon and “we like to support local groups,” said Barb McK- night. To date, they’ve raised $1,500 and “that plus whatever I take in over the next couple of weeks will help this wonderful cause,” she said. Len and Helen Nesbitt live next door to the facility. “We supported it right from the start. The kids need help,” Mr. Nesbitt said. The shelter is a “wonderful idea,” Mrs. Nesbitt said. “I think a lot of youth are hurting today and they really need a safe haven. “They need to know there’s a place they can go and be safe.” There are seven staff at the facility, with someone there all the time, Ms. Dunlop said. They are only allowed 10 youths at any one time, due to fire code regulations. There are 13 beds, which gives them flex- ibility, she said. If there are 10 youths there and another shows up, “we refer them to other shelters out of town, to space at an adult shelter. That’s not ideal,” she said. There’s no time limit on how long the youths can stay there. The shelter has an annual budget of about $400,000, of which it must raise about $150,000. Need for blood doesn’t take a holiday DURHAM — Canadian Blood Services is joining with police, fire and EMS workers to raise awareness of the need for blood dur- ing the summer months. The Sirens for Life Blood Donor Chal- lenge runs from July 1 to Sept. 1 and en- courages emergency workers who see the need for blood every day to recruit new donors as part of a friendly competition. The summer can see an increase in trau- mas with crowded highways and waterways putting an added strain on blood supplies but, as people head to the cottage or enjoy other summer activities, donating blood can drop off the to-do list. Call 1-888-2-DO- NATE (1-888-236-6283) or visit www.blood. ca to make an appointment or for eligibility information and clinic locations. ✦ Ten from page 1 R O T A R Y CLUBS O F A JAX&PIC K E R IN G The power to make your community better. -/1, Ê- ÊvÊ* , TORONTO SUN • CHARTWELL SENIOR RESIDENCES • DURHAM COLLEGE • DAVID COHEN - TECHNICOLOUR UMBRELLA • SAN FRANCISCO BY THE BAY PICOTTE PLASTICS LTD. • J&F WASTE SYSTEMS INC. • MOOD SWING • COKE COLAPICKERING Rotary Ribfest 11 STST AA NNUALNNUAL RR OTARYOTARY RR IBFESTIBFEST AA HH UGEUGE SS UCCESS!UCCESS!

The editorial says, “In Halifax, residents put their recyclables and garbage in the same bag.” This is simply not true. Halifax residents are required to sepa- rate out recyclables and organic material just like we are. The recyclable and organ- ic materials are then sent to different sites for further processing and treatment. The residual garbage ends up at the stabilized landfill site where, to insure compliance, the bags are broken open, inspected and sorted to remove materials that weren’t removed properly at the source. The residual garbage is mechanically and biologically treated to “stabilize” it prior to landfilling. This process substan- tially reduces methane gas and leachate production and other parameters. This is what distinguishes a stabilized landfill from an old-style or even an engineered landfill. I believe that in Nova Scotia it is against the law to landfill organic material. I agree regarding the necessity of that many people making the trip, especially at this stage. Many of us who are opposed to the incinerator suggested many months ago they should look at stabilized landfill and aggressive diversion. It may be that Roger Anderson and members of council who support incineration are getting a little nervous and are finally realizing they need a Plan B. Barry Bracken Port Perry Get all the facts before making statements To the editor: Re: ‘GM workers are spoiled’, Lori Bar- dowell letter, June 22. The red shirts say “Made in Canada Matters” not because of vehicle content, rather the issue of our trade agreement in Canada and jobs being shipped overseas for dollars a day. The workers from manu- facturing sectors, not just GM, are fighting for a fair trade agreement. I agree with you about freedom of choice (buying what you want, wearing what you want, etc.), however, you should educate yourself on the issues more before you make certain comments. First and foremost, product allocation has nothing to do with the employee or its price. If you shopped around you would also find that GM sells products that are comparable to Honda (e.g. Cobalt, Aveo, HHR, etc.). Second, GM employees have given up benefits and pay increases to stay com- petitive. However, they can’t compete with wages in Mexico, India and China. I invite you to work one day on the assembly line and then share your thoughts again on how easy it is. I’m tired of jealous people making uneducated statements. Lynn Elsmer Clarington GM worker takes issue with ‘spoiled’ label To the editor: Re: ‘GM workers are spoiled’, Lori Bar- dowell letter, June 22. I’ve worked in the Oshawa truck plant since 1983. We build the trucks in Canada. We use the parts that GM provides. Where they come from is beyond our control. Perhaps NAFTA could help with this or the government on some other level. As far as vehicle brands go, we have imbalanced trade policies. Canada imported hundreds of thousands of vehi- cles from other countries. Canada export- ed hundreds of vehicles to their countries. Yes, Ms. Bardowell, you have the right to “wear what you want, eat what you want and to buy and drive what you want.” I have to wonder if buying foreign prod- ucts has anything to do with your income. I would also like to make an offer to Ms. Bardowell . . . Take a tour of the truck plant in Oshawa and observe the work- force. I think you just might change your mind about how hard you work in com- parison. There may have been a time when GM workers were “spoiled,” but that time is long gone. My sore back, shoulders and feet are reminding me of this every shift.

Yes: 90% No: 10% Votes: 969 Homeless shelter aids our youth I t was a long time coming but Dur- ham’s homeless youth now have a safe place to stay. In the works since 2003 and taking up to 10 young people a night since April, the shelter had its official opening last week. Located on Kings Crescent in Ajax, the shelter has been a safe haven for 35 different teenagers over the past few months and addresses a crying need in the region. A homeless youth shelter in Oshawa, the Ark, closed several years ago due to lack of funding, so the new shelter in Ajax was long overdue. And it’s certainly appreciated by the young people who have used it. Neily and Devon, both 17, have used the shelter in the past few months. Neily said it’s “pretty good, actually,” while Devon said “It’s OK, it’s a good environ- ment.” The shelter is located in a good family neighbourhood, according to Regional Councillor April Cullen, who said she grew up in the area. The councillor, who is chairwoman of Durham’s health and social services committee, clearly sees the importance of having the shelter in the region. “It’s better than being on the streets of downtown Oshawa or trying to find a rooming house or someone to take you in,” she said. It’s vital to keep young people in a place where they are among their peers and not mixed in with people of all ages. And the shelter meets that need. What’s also gratifying is the tremen- dous community support the shelter has received. On hand for the opening ceremony was Reverend Elaine Sveet of Port Albert United Church. She presented the shel- ter with a cheque for $50,000. Also on hand was Barb McKnight of Kingsview United Church in Oshawa, who raised $1,500 for the shelter through a walk- athon the church holds. Large or small, all donations show the community cares about homeless youth and wants to find a solution. Keeping the funding coming has always been the challenge and the Region will have to make sure it’s main- tained to keep the shelter in operation. The shelter has an annual budget of about $400,000, of which it must raise about $150,000. Students learn to control their bikes and to have fun.

TESTING THE OPEN ROAD Instructor Alison Hindle speaks to the students who took part in the training course. Every week throughout the summer Durham College offers a popular course called Motor- cycle Training Introductory. The course is held at the Whitby Campus of the college. The course attracts people from all walks of life, young and old who have one thing in common -- the love of riding motorcycles. Participants come to get the proper training in the operation of their motorcycles. Some come for refresher training after years of being off motorcycles.

Durham Men’s Progress Club THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 2, 2008 PAGE 9 Purhamregion.com SpineRide to raise money, awareness for spinal cord injuries By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Renato Alessan- drini’s bike is hard to miss -- it’s the one with the tiny spinal cord model affixed to the handlebars. The unusual accessory is a re- minder of the journey the Courtice resident is about to embark on. On June 30, Dr. Alessandrini and his friend Brian Brideau set off from Vancouver, with a goal of cycling across Canada and reach- ing Halifax by Aug. 8. Dubbed Spine Ride Canada, the expedition is intended to raise awareness of spinal cord injuries and funds for the Canadian Para- plegic Association. The idea came about as a trib- ute to Mr. Brideau’s brother, who was severely injured when his ATV rolled over last summer. He is now paralyzed from the chest down and has limited use of his left arm. “Spinal injuries are so serious, there is no end to the needs people have,” Mr. Brideau said. “It’s hard for them to ever get back out into the community. I hope this will make people think about how to prevent those injuries, and I hope it will be a moral boost for my brother.” Dr. Alessandrini, a local cardiol- ogist, and Mr. Brideau, a specialty welder from Courtice, have been cycling together for years, taking on small challenges like two- and three-hour rides through Durham Forest. Once the idea for SpineRide started to take shape last fall, the duo began training in earnest, bik- ing for hours every weekend, run- ning, swimming and doing indoor spinning. Recently they’ve man- aged rides of up to 400 kilometres, which puts them in good stead for the cross-country trip, which will require an average of 10 hours of cycling a day, covering anywhere from 65 to 358 kilometres. “We’re guys, we like the chal- lenge,” Dr. Alessandrini said. The biggest obstacles will be the heat, and the difficulty of staying hydrated and eating enough while pedalling for most of the day, he said. An RV stocked with food and essentials will be driven alongside the pair by a friend, and will also serve as their sleeping quarters at night. Spinal cord injuries occur when an injury to the neck or back causes so much damage to the spine that nerves can no longer send mes- sages to the brain. These injuries may cause paralysis or permanent numbness, tingling or pain in the arms, legs, hands or feet. An estimated 38,000 Canadians live with spinal cord injuries and more than 1,050 new injuries are documented each year. Motor vehicle accidents account for more than half of these injuries in Canada, with falls and sports accidents listed as other common culprits. The Spine Ride team will be updating an online blog throughout the ride, and will be stopping off on home turf on July 26 at noon at the Courtice Health Centre, 1450 Hwy. 2.

Durham duo gear up to cycle across Canada By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A committee will look into child-care part- nership opportunities after public board trustees gave it the green light recently. Trustees voted to estab- lish an ad hoc committee to investigate numerous child care recommendations made by Lisa Millar, superintendent of Pickering and child care li- aison. The committee will review research, prioritize initiatives, suggest ways to further de- velop partnerships and op- portunities to enhance child care in the school board; and update its child care policy. Uxbridge Trustee Joe Allin emphasized at the meeting the new committee should look solely into strengthening partnerships with child-care groups. “I really appreciate this re- port and one of the points Superintendent Millar made and I think warrants empha- sis is this report is not about the Durham District School Board getting in the business of child care,” said Trustee Allin. The report included a chronological overview of the establishment of child- care programs in the school board’s facilities from 1984 onwards, additional child- care programs in and outside of Durham schools, school ready programs, as well as initiatives in other boards. “I, too, am very happy about this report,” said Pickering Trustee Sherry Croteau. By working with partners in the community they’re working toward success, she added. Private providers of day care and programming are growing. Those children could benefit from public education, but their par- ents have opted to provide a seamless day for them in- stead, Trustee Croteau said. Recommendations in the re- port could benefit thousands of students in the region, she said. Ms. Millar’s list also in- cluded recommendations for monitoring the impact of the full-time early learning initia- tive on child-care programs in the school board and pro- viding updates on its effects as required; investigate grants and funding opportunities for early learning; look at estab- lishing Ontario Early Years Centres in areas of need; and facilitate the expansion of the School’s Cool program to bet- ter prepare students for kin- dergarten. School’s Cool is a nationally renowned school readiness program created in 1998 to address a lack of readiness in chil- dren entering kindergarten, says her report. In Canada, two models exists: a pre-kin- dergarten one for ages three to five to prepare kids and their parents for the school experience; and a kindergar- ten model for the same age group to build skills and con- fidence. “I believe that some of this work could possibly address in part our issue of declin- ing enrolment,” Trustee Allin said. But, Whitby Trustee John Dolstra had concerns. “I don’t want to see the Durham District School Board putting hundreds of millions of dollars out for day care that we’re not receiving any funding for,” Trustee Dol- stra said. Trustee Dolstra also had questions about board liabili- ties. The committee will look into those issues.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 2, 2008 PAGE 11 A/Pdurhamregion.com Child care partnerships to be investigated by public board marketplacedurhamregion.com DURHAM — Months before their contract expires, the Province and Ontario Secondary School Teacher’s Federation (OSSTF) have reached a deal. More than 200 OSSTF teachers, including a few in Durham Region, who work in pro- vincial schools that serve deaf, blind or visu- ally impaired, deaf and blind, and incarcer- ated adults are affected by the new collective agreement reached on June 26. The current contract doesn’t expire until Aug. 31. “I think there was very much a willing- ness on the part of the government to ad- dress some of the issues that historically had been of concern for the staff in the schools because they’re just so unique deal- ing with these students,” said Ken Coran, OSSTF president. Some of the students have multi-disabilities, he said. Usually bargaining is a long process with threats of, or actual labour disruptions, he said. This set of employees is in a unique sce- nario when dealing with collective agree- ments, negotiating directly with the Prov- ince instead of through a school board, Mr. Coran said. The new agreement includes the alloca- tion of additional staff as well as a clear definition of how staff will be assigned. Local concerns were also addressed. “The more we can address those and clearly address those the better,” Mr. Coran said.

Trish French, Sales Representative with Remax Rouge River Realty Ltd., Brokerage says that real estate agents across Scarborough and Durham Region are rescheduling open houses to the middle of the week in order to better accommodate the busy weekends many people have during the summer. “There’s so many things that go on in the summer on weekends,” French says. “This way, the buyer doesn’t have to miss the open houses they truly want to see because they’re away for the weekend.” French says that weeknights are ideal for house hunting because people can stop in to local open houses on their way home from work, as the properties they’re looking at are likely in their neighbourhood. They’ll also have more free time to attend the many weddings, sports tournaments, and cottage trips that summer weekends often offer. Starting July 9 in Scarborough and July 10 in Durham Region, many real estate agents from companies such as Remax, Royal LePage, Prudential, Sutton Group, and Coldwell Banker will be holding evening open houses. Homes that will be having the midweek open house will be marked with a yellow banner attached to the For Sale sign. Depending on how the summer weeknight open houses go, agents may keep them going through the fall, too. And with all the extra time agents will have to help their buyers on weekends, it will be hard for this idea not to take off. “I see this as a real advantage for serious buyers to be able to stay on top of the houses on the market and be able to enjoy their summertime without family timing confl icts,” French says. With warmer weather and longer daylight hours, summer weeknights are the perfect time to shop for your dream home.

Durham Catholic schools get environmental EcoSchools certification granted to 16 DURHAM — Two Durham Catholic schools are getting gold for going green. In its inaugural year participating in the Ontario EcoS- chools program, the Durham Catholic District School Board has 16 schools receiving certification: two at the gold level, 11 at the silver and three at the bronze. “We are very proud of all our participating schools,” said Paul Pulla, the Catholic board’s director of education. “Instilling values that will develop environmentally re- sponsible citizens is consistent with promoting strong stew- ardship, a value that is gospel-centred. We are hoping in the coming year to see many more of our schools become involved in the EcoSchools Program.” Ontario EcoSchools is designed to incorporate environ- mental education and responsible action into the school setting. The program aims to influence youth and help them take a culture of conservation home with them. Reaching gold status this year are Good Shepherd Catholic Elementary School in Scugog and St. John Bosco in Oshawa. Silver recipients are: Holy Family in Beaverton; Our Lady of the Bay, St. Elizabeth Seton and St. Monica in Pickering; St. Bernadette in Ajax; St. Bernard, St. Leo, St. Luke the Evan- gelist and St. Theresa in Whitby; St. Bridget in Brooklin; and, St. Christopher in Oshawa. Immaculate Conception in Scugog, St. Joseph in Uxbridge, and St. Thomas Aquinas in Oshawa all reached bronze. Certified schools will be receiving a plaque in recognition of their achievement. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 16 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 2, 2008 ENTERTAINMENT ✦ E-mail information to Mike Ruta, mruta@durhamregion.com ✦ Get local 24/7 newsdurhamregion.com Pickering actors ready for summer musical theatre Bezubiak, Delaney perform in Port Perry By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Cadenza Produc- tions can’t promise 76 trombones or 110 cornets but it does guaran- tee a good time for the family at its July run of the musical, ‘The Music Man’. A cast of 37 and an orchestra of 10 will bring to life the story of a small town in pre-First World War Iowa, that is charmed by and, in turn, charms a con man. Yes, Professor Harold Hill has come to town, selling the idea of a town band for young people but in- tending to disappear with their money. Throw in lots of well- known songs and some choreography and it’s an entertaining event, said musical director Carol Salamone. “It’s a great group of people,” she said, adding the cast and crew come from all over Durham, including Uxbridge, Port Perry, Whitby and Pickering. Ages vary, too. One of the younger cast members is 11-year- old Michael Williamson, who plays Winthrop Paroo, the young- er brother of Marian Paroo, music teacher and librarian who catches Prof. Hill’s eye. Michael may only be 11 but he’s a veteran of the stage, having been in 13 plays to date. This past theatre season alone he ap- peared in the Borelians’ production of ‘Alice in Wonderland’, OnStage Uxbridge’s ‘Seussical’ and Oshawa Little The- atre youth group’s ‘Just So’. He’ll be acting along- side his dad, Andy Williamson, mom Carey Nicholson and older sister, Brenna Williamson, in ‘The Music Man’. The family lives in Port Perry. When asked why he likes being involved in plays, Michael said “I like all the people you get to meet. Basically, you learn a lot of stuff. You learn singing, dancing and acting.” He’s also learned time man- agement, making sure he gets as much work done at school as he Ajax writer wins award for essay Wrote on child labour abuses in the Congo By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX — Sara Turner has won a Pulitzer. The Ajax woman won the Pu- litzer Center Citizen Journalism Award for her essay on child la- bour abuses in the Congo. The Pulitzer Center is part of the same foundation as the Pulitzer Prizes, handed out annually for excellence in journalism and fic- tion writing. A writer for Helium, an on-line journalism site, Ms. Turner has written “quite a few articles on life and general reflections.” Helium and the Pulitzer Center partnered on the contest, in which writers could pick a topic. “I had to go through the topics and picked one I feel passionate about,” she said. Ms. Turner picked child labour because she has two children of her own, a 12-year-old son and eight-year-old daughter. The topic was ‘Who should take a stand against abusive child la- bour being used in the Congo to dig out coltan?’ Coltan is short for Columbite- tantalite, a metallic ore compris- ing Niobium and Tantalum that’s used in cell phones, computers and other electronic items. In her essay, Ms. Turner said Congolese children are forced into mining coltan. “I wonder how many times someone looks at their laptop or their cell phone and thinks ‘there is coltan mined by children in this product. “Children who die because of disease, starvation and unsafe working conditions. Children who die because the military, the very people who are suppose to keep them safe, abuse and then murder them to hush their crimes,” Ms. Turner wrote. “Who should take a stand against abusive child labour being used in Congo to dig out coltan? We all should,” she wrote. “We can live our lives surrounded with cot- ton and candy and accept them for what they are or we can dig the ground and learn how the cotton grows and watch as the candy is made.” Photographer Carlos Villalon, who had been in the Congo and pointed her to videos on YouTube about the situation in the Congo. She did some research and wrote about it, but Mr. Villalon felt she was “regurgitating” informa- tion and said she needed to “put in more personal reflection.” She wrote the essay between late February and early March. Helium is an on-line commu- nity of writers, where people file submissions, which are then peer reviewed. “If I think it’s worth having a read, they read it and rate it on how good or poorly it is,” she says. Environmental groups are inter- ested in the Helium website, she said, adding it’s a way to “get the information out.” She’s a writer, “mostly on-line,” but she also has two unpublished novels and has had poetry pub- lished. “This is the first competition for non-journalist journalism,” she said. The essay can be read at www. pulitzercenter.org. Town puts out a call for Ajax artists, designers Outdoor piece to be created AJAX — The Town is looking for anyone wanting to express their art- ist talent. Ajax is holding a competition to come up with a graphic artwork display for a free-standing masonry wall in the Salem Centre Business Area. Designs should reflect the Town’s history, heritage, culture, diversi- ty or natural features and should convey a graphic representation of Ajax. Artists, graphic designers and collaborative teams who reside or operate in Ajax can take part. The Town reserves the right to deter- mine artist eligibility. Prior experi- ence in public art design isn’t re- quired. A total honorarium of $1,000 will be awarded to the successful artist. The masonry wall will be at the northeast corner of Salem Road and Achilles Road. The deadline is Friday, July 18 at 4:30 p.m. For all the contest rules and an application, visit www.townofajax. com.

Mallory McGrath, another Port Perry resident, plays Marian. This is McGrath’s fourth show with Ca- denza -- she played Maria in ‘The Sound of Music’ last summer. She’s just graduated from Mc- Gill’s music program and enjoys spending part of her summers on stage. As she said, after eight months studying and singing opera, it’s a nice break to do com- munity theatre. “I take a break from the hard core of opera and relax with mu- sical theatre for a few weeks,” she said. Todd Appleton, a Whitby den- tist, plays Prof. Hill. He’s worked with local theatre groups for sev- eral years and has won two THEA awards for his roles in musicals. “I love doing musicals,” he said. “I enjoy singing. And they’re just fun. I enjoy doing community theatre because it’s so different from my career.” Other actors include Barbara Taylor-Bone and Pam Goreski, of Scugog Choral Society, Rita Gould, of Uxbridge, Trish Black- burn, of Whitby, Joe Bezubiak and Mary Delaney, both from Pickering. The director is Uxbridge resi- dent Ruth Smith, who directed OnStage Uxbridge’s THEA-win- ning production of ‘Steel Magno- lias’ last fall. The choreographer is Jen Hamilton. Salamone said Hamilton has been able to teach non-danc- ing people how to dance for the show. Costumes have been created by Carey Nicholson and her mom, Sheila Nicholson, who both won a THEA for costumes in Alice in Wonderland. As to the band, jackets have been borrowed from Backwoods Players in Pickering. And band instruments have come from a variety of sources, including Ux- bridge Secondary School and Salamone’s friends. Salamone said Cadenza, which has produced ‘Little Shop of Hor- rors’ and ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ in past years, has been doing well since it started bringing summer musical theatre to north Durham. “We were turning people award from ‘The Sound of Music’ last year,” she said. “It’s been success- ful so far. I’m quite happy with it.” Opening night is July 3, the cul- mination of 12 weeks of rehearsal. The run continues through July 19 at Town Hall 1873, Queen and Simcoe streets.

It’s a scene that’s played out hundreds of times for Pickering’s Hayley Pettapiece- Phillips. In cheerleading parlance, she’s a ‘flier’ who does literally that before being caught by her fellow cheerleaders upon descent and feath- ered to the floor for a soft landing. Scared? Not in the least, says the 18-year- old Pickering resident, who’s been dropped a few times in her cheerleading career. “It doesn’t scare me at all, maybe because of my gymnastics background,” she said, add- ing she trusts her teammates to be there. “I’ve fallen on my head, but I just get up. I’m not the crying type; I just laugh it off.” Later this summer, the cheerleader who won three national titles with the Cardinal Newman Catholic Secondary School Knights will land on the Morehead State University (Morehead, Kentucky, near Lexington) cam- pus where she’ll begin her freshman year on a combination athletic/academic scholarship for cheerleading. “I think it will be a good experience,” she said of attending Morehead State, where she plans to study in the health sciences realm. But, she concedes Morehead State was not on her cheerleading radar initially. In fact, the school was a latecomer to the scholarship process. Morehead State was one of the last to reply after she and her parents sent out up- wards of 20 videos to coaches of U.S. univer- sities that offered cheerleading scholarships. She was invited to attend a clinic and tryout camp at the Kentucky campus in March. Pettapiece-Phillips says the three-day clin- ic/tryout was unnerving to say the least. To add to the nervousness quotient, she drew the last number among the multitudes of other cheerleaders trying out in front of a panel of coaches from the university. “They called everyone else and then I had to go. It was really hard. I think everyone was nervous no matter what. The girl who was second last, we sat together and warmed up and then waited an hour-and-a-half until it was our turn.” After her audition was completed, she and the other hopefuls were left to wait while the Morehead State coaches conferred. Seven hours later, the list of successful cheerleaders was posted. She had mixed feelings about seeing her name on the list. “Some people were crying; I think I cried actually,” said Pettapiece-Phillips, the lone Canadian named to the 32-member Eagles’ all-girls cheerleading team. “I was a little panicked, but happy and overwhelmed is what it was.” Morehead State is no garden variety rah- rah-sis-boom-bah institution. The university, whose sports teams com- pete in the NCAA Division 1 Ohio Valley Conference, has established itself as a mecca of cheerleading, winning 23 national NCAA titles among the all-girls’ and co-ed teams over the years. A provincially ranked gymnast with the Pickering Aerials and later with the Win- stonette Gymnastics Association and the Scarborough Gym Elites, she switched to competitive cheerleading after joining the Cardinal Newman Knights of Scarborough for two-and-a-half years. With Cardinal Newman, under coaches Lorna and Chuck Holland, she was part of a squad that won numerous regional, provin- cial and national cheerleading crowns. Pettapiece-Phillips says she once felt gym- nastics was her ticket to a U.S. scholarship because several of her friends had success- fully gone that route. But, once she started cheerleading at Cardinal Newman, she was hooked. “I was in competitive gymnastics for 10 years, but I never liked it nearly as much as I love cheerleading,” said Pettapiece-Phillips who’s also part of the Scarborough Gym Elites Titans Cheerleaders. She’ll spend a week practising with the Morehead State all-girls’ squad beginning on July 27. The team will then travel to Milwau- kee for training camp with other U.S. colle- giate cheerleading teams. She’ll begin classes on Aug. 15. Submitted photo Pickering’s Hayley Pettapiece-Phillips will continue her cheerleading career in Kentucky with the Morehead State University Eagles after signing for a combination academic/athletic scholarship. Here, she performs with the Cardinal Newman Knights cheerleading squad. Story notes Morehead State University has been rec- ognized for the third consecutive year as one of the top public universities in the southern U.S. in the 2007 edition of ‘Amer- ica’s Best Colleges’... Pettapiece-Phillips is the lone Canadian on the university’s team and is seen as somewhat of a novelty among the team members. “They love talk- ing to me about Canada. Most of the team doesn’t know much about Canada. They wanted to see our money and wanted to know if we had an anthem.”...She’s only competed against American cheerleading teams once while competing at the Sea to Sky event in Vancouver while with the Car- dinal Newman Knights. The Knights finished second, with a U.S. team from Washington State taking the crown... Durham Eclipse strikes silver in Buffalo DURHAM — The Durham Eclipse Junior Women’s (U19) basketball team more than held its own against some top western New York State talent in the Niagara Rapids AAU tournament at Canisius University in Buf- falo. The Eclipse battled to a berth in the tour- nament final where, after taking a seven- point halftime lead, Durham ultimately fell to the Rochester Lady Lakers 56-47. The Eclipse summer team is a blend of established university bound players like Pickering’s Rhea Pascal, dynamic underage talents such as Whitby’s Chloe Levy at point guard and swingmen Sam Jacobs of Courtice and Rebecca Lyons of Whitby. The Eclipse veterans that carried Durham to Europe and over its demanding Ontario club season to its Division 1 ranking in the recent provincial championships were also prominent in Buffalo. Veteran swingman Ruth Holland of Peterborough, guard Kate- lyn McConnell of Whitby, rangy guard Julie Longauer of Whitby, power forward Mo- nique Johnson of Ajax, and capable forward Hilary Mair of Peterborough all played with considerable poise throughout the event. The Durham women continue their Amer- ican summer season in Burlington, Vermont on June 27. The silver-medal-win- ning Durham Eclipse Junior Women’s (U19) basketball team com- peted hard against some of the best teams in western New York State recently. submitted photo Economic Development Associate As a key member of our economic development team, you will research and compile statistical and information resources such as the business directory, vacant land directory, ACT contact database, and the business portion and events calendar for the Town website.
