Families on hand
to greet athletes
By Parvaneh Pessian
ppessian@durhamregion.com
TORONTO — As the Olympic athletes
emerged from the Pearson International Air-
port terminal exit one by one Monday night,
Annetta Charles rocked back and forth on
her heels and bit her bottom lip.
Her husband Keith stood several metres
away, stuck in a massive crowd, with a bou-
quet of flowers in his hands and a smile from
ear to ear.
The couple from Pickering was at the
airport to welcome home their 23-year-old
daughter, Tabia Charles, who competed in
the long jump event at the Beijing Games.
They were among hundreds of other specta-
tors, including loved ones, fans and media
representatives filling the designated corner
of the airport in anticipation of the arrivals.
Tabia Charles nabbed 10th spot with her
best leap of 6.47 metres, but wasn’t able to
advance to the finals.
“It’s been so stressful,” Annetta Charles
said. “I couldn’t eat or sleep the whole time
she’s been there, so it’s a relief now to see her
back.”
Linda Henry, also from Pickering, was
there to greet her son Anson, 29, whose team
ranked sixth in the 4x100m relay in a time of
38.66, with Anson running the second leg.
“It’s just a dream come true for him and
we’re happy,” she said. “We support him all
the way.”
It’s been a month since the families saw
their children. Both mothers said they tried
to limit contact with them so the athletes
could stay focused on their goal.
As Tabia Charles finally came through
the doors, Mr. Charles began chanting her
name, followed by cheers from the crowd.
When asked how it felt to be home, Ms.
Charles said she was happy but expressed
disappointment in falling short at the
Games.
“I keep going back to the jump in my head
and I was a little sad about it, but I feel good
at the same time,” she said. “I was so anxious
last night because I haven’t been home in so
long and I’m happy to be here.”
Despite the 13-hour flight home, all the
returning athletes stopped for the cameras,
signed autographs and spoke with people
in the crowd before shuffling through the
masses with their baggage in tow. Some of
them, including Ms. Charles and Mr. Henry,
were suffering from a slight cold they said
was going around near the end of the trip.
Whitby’s Priscilla Lopes-Schliep, bronze
medal winner for the 100m hurdles, didn’t
make the journey home with her fellow
athletes, as she’s working her way toward
another competition in Europe.

tional Airport Monday night with other athletes returning from the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. See page 23 for Anson Henry.

DURHAM — Four Durham students have
risen to the top of their class and beyond.
In the Durham Catholic District School Board,
Jonathan Bunting and Jennifer Chung of St.
Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pickering
finished their graduating year with a 95.83 per
cent average. At the Durham District School
Board, Andrew Good of Anderson Collegiate
Vocational Institute, Whitby, and Faizah Ilyas
of O’Neill Collegiate Vocational Institute in Os-
hawa tied with 97.33 per cent.
“I’ve always maintained that kind of an aver-
age,” Faizah said. “Academics play a major part
in my life, I try to maintain a balanced life... but
studies do come first for me.”
Faizah, a Whitby resident and Oshawa stu-
dent, always listens in class, reviews her notes
at home, and studies at the dining room table
with no distractions. In high school, she spent
two to three hours a night doing school work,
scheduling it between dinner, breaks, and extra
curricular activities.
Her habits paid off, not only with high marks,
but scholarship offers.
Queen’s University offered Faizah a Bank
of Montreal scholarship worth $40,000 over
four years, but she refused. Western University
offered her $6,000 for each of her four years -
again she refused.
She’ll be attending McMaster University with
financial support from a Millennium National
Scholarship, worth $5,000 for each of her four
years. McMaster is providing her a $3,000 en-
trance bursary for two years as well. Faizah
chose McMaster for its group learning approach
in Health Sciences.
For Andrew, it was math at Waterloo Uni-
versity or nothing because of its reputation. He
wants to be an actuary, a job which involves
things such as calculating insurance rates.
“It’s almost entirely math and I really enjoy
math,” Andrew said.
In his final year, he took function, data man-
agement, calculus and vectors, physics, chem-
istry, and biology. Although he does well every
year, this year was his best.
“I wanted to show the universities the best I
could do,” he said.
For university, he received a $2,000 scholar-
ship and a $5,000 scholarship spread over two
years. His advice for other students, work hard,
figure out what you like and base what you want
to do on that.
Along with his studies, he also did basketball
and track and field.
“You don’t always want to be thinking about
school,” Andrew said.
In the Catholic board, Jonathan scored 100
per cent in calculus. His mom, Teresa Bunting,
spoke about his marks while he was in Peru.
“This is a kid that strives to get his best,” she
said. “He has good study habits, he’ll get home
from school, have a rest, and get right to it.”
Jonathan is going to McMaster University
this fall for engineering with a $3,000 entrance
scholarship. He was offered a $10,000 scholar-
ship to Queen’s University but refused. Ms.
Bunting said they always told him not to let
scholarships decide the school.
His classmate, Jennifer Chung, tied Jona-
than’s average.
“I’m used to getting high marks but I didn’t
know I was going to get at the top of my school
or Durham,” Jennifer said. She took three sci-
ences and three maths this year.
Jennifer said her average has been the same
throughout high school, increasing only slightly
each year. Along with doing school work, she
plays soccer, hockey, and is involved with other
activities.
Jennifer listened to her parents’ guidelines
about discipline and trying her best.
Born in India, her father started teaching her
math before she began school. Later, she was
put into enrichment programs so she could get
ahead. In September, she’s going to McMaster
University for life sciences and she’ll try to get
a minor in math. She’s still not sure what she
wants to do for a career, just that it will be in
science or math. Jennifer also received a $2,000
entrance scholarship.

Tribute to three heroes
AJAX — Ajax residents honour fallen soldiers as they head to Toronto along the Highway of Heroes. Sergeant Shawn Allen Eades,
33, Corporal Dustin Roy Robert Joseph Wasden, 25, and Sapper Stephan J. Stock, 25, all combat engineers with 12 Field Squadron,
1 Combat Engineer Regiment from Edmonton, Alta., were killed when an improvised explosive device detonated near their vehicle on
Aug. 20, in Zharey District, Afghanistan.
A ‘miracle’ no one
died: investigator
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
AJAX — Four young men
were wounded when shots
rang out early Saturday at a
house party in Ajax, just a
half-kilometre from the site of
a multiple shooting less than
two years ago.
Durham police investiga-
tors are amazed no one died
when several shots were fired
at about 12:45 a.m. Saturday
into a crowd gathered for a
house party.
“It’s a miracle no one got
killed,” Detective Dan McKin-
non said.
Four men in their teens
made their way to hospital,
where they were treated and
released.
Some of the wounds sus-
tained were serious, Det.
McKinnon said.
The shooting spree oc-
curred in front of a home on
Harkins Drive in the Rossland
Road-Church Street area, po-
lice said. Several people had
gathered in front of the house
before shots rang out.
Police said the shootings
weren’t random and appear
to have been committed by
people who arrived on the
scene. Several vehicles were
seen leaving the area after the
shooting, witnesses said.
“It’s undetermined if the
people who did the shoot-
ing were inside the house; we
don’t think they were,” Det.
McKinnon said.
The gunfire erupted just
half a kilometre from the
scene of a multiple shooting
on Halloween night of 2006
when five young people were
wounded by gunfire. Several
young men were arrested in
connection with that inci-
dent.
The occurrence of such
similar incidents so close to-
gether is chilling, Det. McKin-
non said.
“That’s nine teenagers shot
in a half-kilometre radius,” he
said.
“Our concern is there are
more guns on the street and
people aren’t afraid to use
them.”
Investigators recovered evi-
dence at the scene that’s been
forwarded for forensic exam-
ination. It’s as yet undeter-
mined how many shots were
fired or how many weapons
were used, Det. McKinnon
said.
Anyone with information
on the incident is asked to
call police at 905-579-1520,
ext. 2565, or Crime Stoppers
at 1-800-222-8477.
Four wounded
in Ajax gunfire
AJAX — The Ajax-
Pickering hospital is invit-
ing people to see its newly-
renovated birthing unit next
week.
The birthing unit at Rouge
Valley Ajax and Pickering
hospital was shut down
temporarily after a flood a
couple of months ago. De-
liveries took place in the
post-partum unit while the
room was renovated, the
cost of which was covered
by insurance.
On Thursday, Sept. 4, the
unit will officially re-open,
and people are invited to
tour the facility from 10:30
a.m. to 1 p.m. Coffee, tea
and cookies will be avail-
able.

DURHAM — Public re-
action to an outbreak of
listeriosis, stemming from
contamination at a Maple
Leaf Foods plant, is that it’s
scary.
“It makes your stomach
turn wondering what’s going
to happen, if you’re going to
be sick,” said Ajax resident
Debbie Vick. The mom of
two said she didn’t have any
of the recalled items in her
fridge, but couldn’t be sure
whether she’d had any of
the items in the past.
Ken Barnett of Ajax also
isn’t sure if he’s come into
contact with the recalled
products. “How many peo-
ple can remember what they
ate three months ago?”
The regular incubation
period for listeriosis is one
day to three weeks, but it
could potentially be up to
70 days, though that’s un-
common.
In the future, Mr. Bar-
nett said he and his wife
are sticking to salads and
salmon for lunch.
“We’ve sort of made a de-
cision not to buy any cold
meats for the time being,”
he said.
Ms. Vick said she too is
staying away from ready-to-
eat meats as well.
“I think if I’m going to be
eating any kind of meat, it’s
going to be stuff that I’m
cooking,” she said.
So far, the listeriosis out-
break has resulted in six
deaths, more are under in-
vestigation, and an expand-
ed recall of 220 Maple Leaf
products, many of them sold
under other brand names
such as Schneider’s, Com-
pliments, Burns, No Name,
Shopsy’s and more. The
company said it’s extended
the recall beyond the lines
originally recalled as a pre-
cautionary measure.
In Durham Region, the
health department has not
reported any illnesses or
deaths due to listeriosis.
However, they’ve been
contacting all area hospi-
tals, long-term care and re-
tirement homes, day cares,
group homes, homeless
shelters, food banks, caf-
eterias and restaurants to
advise them of the recall.
Approximately 450 estab-
lishments were contacted,
with about 100 reporting
they’ve received some of
the recalled products. The
meats have been removed
from sale or service and are
now being held for return to
the supplier or disposal.
As well, the health de-
partment has informed area
physicians and health care
facilities of the outbreak.
Manager of environmental
health, Laura Gertsen said
most people who come
across it wouldn’t have any
symptoms, the focus is to
protect vulnerable popula-
tions.
“You’re talking of the
elderly, people with weak-
ened immune systems,
pregnant ladies are highly
susceptible,” she said.
But not everyone is wor-
ried about the outbreak.
Lily Chung said she never
buys ready-to-eat meats.
“My kids, they’re not re-
ally into sandwiches,” she
said, adding she usually
makes them hot lunches.
The Durham District
School Board reports it has
checked with Chartwells,
the company that runs
most of its cafeterias, to
ensure they don’t have any
of the recalled products on
hand and they’ve asked all
schools holding orientation
week barbecues to check
their meats. For now, the
health department is advis-
ing residents to toss any-
thing they’re unsure about.

region.durham.on.ca or call

Public worried about
listeriosis outbreak
WHITBY — Two more
crows, this time in Whitby,
have tested positive for West
Nile virus (WNV), bringing
the total to six in Durham
this year.
The Whitby birds were
picked up on Aug. 13 and 14
and were originally reported
by residents.
“They were from different
areas, one was in the north
end and one was in the south
end,” said Neal Mattes, se-
nior inspector for Durham’s
health department. “But I
wouldn’t say anyone in the
north is more at risk than
in the south, or the east and
west for that matter.”
In addition to the two
most recent birds, two crows
from Oshawa, a crow from
Port Perry and a crow from
Uxbridge have also tested
positive for the disease. The
first bird was picked up on
July 24 in Uxbridge. So far,
Durham’s health depart-
ment has sent 42 birds for
testing.
Last summer, three birds
out of the 36 submitted test-
ed positive for the disease.
As to why there are more
positive birds, it could sim-
ply be the sample size, said
Mr. Mattes. “We submitted
a lot more birds this year; it
could have been people re-
ported more.” In 2006, seven
out of 57 birds tested posi-
tive for the disease and in
2005, eight out of 69 tested
positive. As well, this year
officials say a horse in north
Durham died of Eastern
Equine Encephalitis, a simi-
lar but much rarer virus that
is also mosquito-borne.

Hundreds bid farewell
to animal rescuer
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — Three rooms were not
enough to seat the hundreds of people who
came to honour a well-respected commu-
nity member and mother to hundreds of
animals Friday.
More than 300 people, and even some
dogs, attended Joyce Smith’s funeral at
McEachnie Funeral Home after she died
from heart failure Monday afternoon.
Known by many throughout Durham Re-
gion for taking in animals of all shapes, sizes,
breeds and physical states, she turned none
away. She began her legacy by allowing
animals into her home in south Pickering,
her nephew, Jim Hanwell, said in the eu-
logy, where her doggy door was open for all
animals such as dogs, cats and squirrels. She
was finally given land by Cherry Downs Golf
and Country Club in 1996 to open the Sec-
ond Chance Wildlife Sanctuary and eventu-
ally took in so many abandoned, abused or
stray animals that the number of critters at
the sanctuary grew to 500.
“She went out as the captain of the ship
and I don’t think she ever wanted to leave it,”
Jim Hanwell said after the ceremony.
In the eulogy, he said besides remember-
ing his aunt’s midnight runs to factories to
feed stray cats and her crow named Crow, he
also recalls the great joy Ms. Smith brought
into his family’s Toronto home when he was
a young boy. “There was many a fun time
when Joyce lived with us,” he said, adding
she loved a party and was always the last to
leave.
“She had a great sense of humour - a dis-
tinctive laugh,” he said.
Although Ms. Smith’s health was ailing
over the past year, she continued her daily
gruelling schedule of waking up before 6
a.m. to care for the animals all day until she
finally went to bed at around 1 a.m. But she
was able to visit her brother, Garry Hanwell,
and his family in Oxtongue Lake a couple of
weeks ago, where she got an unusual break
from her duties.
“One movie would be over, and she’d
already have another one ready to go,” her
brother said, adding Ms. Smith rarely had
time to watch films.
“She always loved my cooking,” Garry
Hanwell’s wife, Dorothy, recalled, adding
she knew the leftovers her sister-in-law took
home would go to the animals.
And the animals will no doubt miss their
caregiver, Second Chance board member
M.J. Galaski said at the funeral.
“I know the animals are missing her now
because animals sense loss,” she said.
Long-time Second Chance volunteer
Sarah Baliski can attest to that. She was
doing her regular duties for the cats that the
sanctuary adopts out at PetSmart Wednes-
day night when she noticed the cats were
whining and clawing at cages, something
she’s never seen in her almost 10 years of
volunteering. “From the moment I got there
through to the moment I left they were all
crying - unusually crying,” she said.
But although Ms. Smith has left her sanc-
tuary, her friends and members of the board
hope to continue her biggest passion: caring
for animals. “We can keep Joyce’s dream
alive but we’re going to have to work hard
together because that’s what Joyce would
have wanted,” Ms. Galaski said.
The board of directors is currently plan-
ning an adoption blitz since the animals
desperately need homes, and it continues to
accept donations for those who never leave
the sanctuary and those who find a home
there. Donations can be made online at
www.second-chance.ws, by calling 905-649-
8282 or by mail to Second Chance at 2060
Concession Rd. 7, Pickering, ON, L1Y 1A2.
Animal profiles are also available on the
website.
Ms. Smith’s ashes will be spread in Washa-
go, Ont., as she wished. She’s survived by her
son, Steven Gary Smith, and brother, Garry
Hanwell.

Senior counting on
bus as her driving
days come to an end
To the editor:
Re: ‘Cancelling bus route would send
wrong message,’ Aug. 15 editorial.
Amen to this editorial. Forget the
little kids getting older. What about me?
I am about to turn 70 years of age and
am fully aware that my driving years
are rapidly drawing to a close.
The local transit buses that pass by
my house on Audley Road South are my
best hope for a happy tomorrow. They
will make it possible for me to remain
mobile and independent. There are no
stores within walking distance of my
house. How will I buy groceries and get
out to a movie or into Toronto on the
GO train without a bus?
And what about the caregivers who
will tend my needs as time goes by?
These necessary angels often cannot
afford cars. They get around on public
transit... always have ... always will.
So, let’s stop being selfish and elitist. I
pay taxes and deserve the best Durham
Region can afford.
I suggest the chagrined anti-bus
petitioners might better devote their
energies complaining to Mother Nature
about the multitude of beautiful Cana-
dian Geese who noisily honk, chatter
and cover our park and sidewalks with
poop.
But as the comedian said, “that’s
another story.”

Thief takes advantage
of kind gesture
To the editor:
On Aug. 16, around 3:30 p.m., a young
kid around 16 years old came to my
door and wanted to use the phone to
call someone.
I invited him into my home and gave
him my home phone to call his friend.
As I left him, and he completed his call
and he handed the phone to my grand-
daughter. Believing in the dignity of the
human person none of us watched him
on his way out.
But as he was leaving he stole my
granddaughter’s cell phone, which
was laying on the bench as you enter
the door. What was he thinking? It is
no good to him as we had the service
cancelled, but my granddaughter is
very sad. She had all her friend’s phone
numbers and pictures on the cell
phone.
So young man, if you are out there
and somehow read this letter, please
return the cell phone to a young girl
who is about your and age and hurting
very much.
I hold no anger against you, but sor-
row. For if you had asked me for a cell
phone I would have given you mine. In
this way you would not have offended
your God and mine.

Better ways to deal
with crime than
capital punishment
To the editor:
Re: Let’s bring back capital punish-
ment, Donna Smith letter, Aug. 13.
Donna Smith, with all due respect,
needs to research her position more
thoroughly.
Capital punishment does not lower
crime rates and is an irreversible
punishment already abolished in two-
thirds of the world.
DNA testing does provide a higher
level of accuracy in convictions, but
poor legal council or human error in
the forensic lab can, and still does,
result in false conclusions.
The death penalty has no place in civ-
ilized society and our attention instead
should be focused on stronger rehabili-
tation programs and lowering rates of
recidivism.

Olympic
athletes did
Canada
proud
W hat a difference a week makes.
With the Beijing Olympics wind-
ing down Sunday night many of
our Canadian athletes took in the closing
ceremonies with smiles on their faces and,
in many cases, medals around their necks.
Canada won 18 medals -- three gold,
nine silver, six bronze. That’s a far cry from
the medal count during the first week of
the Games, when we garnered zero med-
als. Nada. Zilch. The result, or lack thereof,
caused one letter writer to complain about
personal bests not being enough. While
debate raged on about whether Canada
supports its athletes enough for them to
reach the podium, we began to rack up the
medals in week No. 2 of the Games.
One of those medal winners was our own
Priscilla Lopes-Schliep, who took home
the bronze last week in a photo finish in
the 100-metre hurdles. After witnessing the
heartbreak of Perdita Felicien four years
ago when she tumbled over the first hurdle
in Athens during the 100-metre final, it was
exciting to see Priscilla blaze to a bronze.
Both these athletes are expected to partic-
ipate in the next Summer Olympic Games
in London in 2012, so they’ll be exciting to
watch.
Eighteen medals in seven days was quite
the accomplishment, and if our Canadian
athletes had turned the numerous number
of fourth-place finishes into bronze medals,
we would have easily surpassed 20 medals
in Beijing.
With Vancouver hosting the 2010 Winter
Games, we hope more financial support
will be thrown into Canada’s Olympic
movement. As the second week in Beijing
proved, it can be exciting watching Canadi-
an athletes compete in a final for an Olym-
pic medal. It’s even more exciting when
that athlete is your neighbour, your friend,
your son or daughter.
Congratulations should be extended to
all of our Canadian athletes, whether they
medalled or not at the Olympic Games.
They made tremendous sacrifices training
and deserve our respect and admiration.
There are four long years before the world
unites again in London, England, in 2012
for the next Summer Games. For the ath-
letes it’s time needed to train to be the best
in whatever sport they’re in.
For the rest of us, it’s a good time to push
our elected officials to support these ath-
letes in their endeavours.

DURHAM — Fighting to protect the
Great Lakes in the early 90s was a lonely
endeavour, said environmental lawyer
Mark Mattson.
“We weren’t winning the public, al-
though we were enforcing the rules,” said
the president of Lake Ontario Waterkeep-
er, an organization dedicated to tracking
polluters.
But that’s all changing, he said, pointing
to the fight over the Oshawa harbour as
one example of residents speaking up for
their community.
“There are signs there is this public will
to win back the Great Lakes and it’s finally
been awakened and I don’t think its going
to be put back down.”
And Mr. Mattson can point to another
local success story.
“A big, big success story would be the
clean up at Port Hope. The federal govern-
ment is finally beginning the process of
cleaning up the radioactive waste site.”
The Port Hope harbour was contami-
nated by a uranium and radium refinery
in the 1930s and 1940s and, as it stands,
there’s approximately 90,000 cubic tonnes
of contaminated sediment in the harbour.
In 2001, the federal government and local
municipality signed an agreement to clean
up the low-level radioactive waste.
If it’s successful, it will mean Port Hope
will be removed from a list of 14 trouble
spots along the Great Lakes in Canada
labelled Areas of Concern (AOC). Also
listed along Lake Ontario in Canada is the
Toronto area, Hamilton Harbour and the
Bay of Quinte to the east. Canada has one
area in recovery, Spanish Harbour on Lake
Huron, and two areas that have recovered
enough to be delisted, Severn Sound and
Collingwood Harbour, both on Georgian
Bay.
But cleaning up the AOCs is no small
task, said John Jackson, program direc-
tor for Great Lakes United, a coalition of
citizen’s groups in Canada and the U.S.
working to protect the lakes.
“We’ve been working on the clean up
of those for 20 years ... we still have major
problems at all but three sites,” said Mr.
Jackson.
In addition to three rivers shared with
Canada (St. Mary’s, St. Clair and Detroit
rivers), the U.S. has 25 AOCs, one area
in recovery and one delisted area, the
Oswego River. Each AOC has a rehabilita-
tion plan, but it will take decades to fix the
problems.
“The
hard and
expen-
sive is-
sues that are still
outstanding in
all of the AOCs is
what we do with
the contaminated
sediment, they’re
very expensive
to clean up,” he
said.
In Toronto,
where the
AOC stretches
from Etobi-
coke Creek in
the west to the
Rouge River in
the east, part of the
problem is wet weather
management. Stormwater, contaminated
with spills and road runoff, and sewer
overflows are dumped into the rivers and
into the lake when it rains. Also, as the
area urbanized, wildlife and fish habitats
were destroyed along the shorelines, parts
of which were irreversibly hardened.
One of the challenges for Toronto is to
upgrade its infrastructure.
“It’s very expensive and it means the
federal and provincial government need
to come through with the financial sup-
port for the municipalities in order to
make the improvements to their infra-
structure,” said Mr. Jackson.
Though not an AOC, John Presta, Dur-
ham’s director of environmental services
said the Region is working on upgrading
its older plants, such as the Pringle Creek
plant in Whitby, which still occasionally
discharge overflow into the lake during
storm conditions, perhaps a half dozen
times a year. The discharge would receive
primary treatment, including chlorination
which kills bacteria such as E. coli, but
would not have nutrients such as nitrogen
and phosphorus removed.
“The new plants, such as the Courtice
Water Pollution Control Plant, will now
treat wastewater so it’s a non-toxic efflu-
ent,” said Mr. Presta.
In other areas, such as Hamilton Har-
bour, Mr. Jackson said the industries that
originally contaminated the harbour
should pay for part of its rehabilitation.
“Municipal money needs to go into fix-
ing up the sewage system, not paying for
contaminated sediment which they didn’t
put there in the first place.”
But it’s not simply what’s going into the
waters that affects the lakes, but what’s
going into the air as well. “We’ve made
progress in terms of the discharge of
toxic substances to water, but unfortu-
nately we
haven’t
been
making progress in the discharge of toxins
into the air,” said Mr. Jackson, though he
adds governments are finally starting to
take air quality seriously.
Also of concern are new substances
going into the waters such as chemicals
that act as flame retardants and phar-
maceuticals entering through the sewage
system.
Douglas Holdway, a specialist in envi-
ronmental toxicology at the University of
Ontario Institute of Technology, said stud-
ies in Lake Scugog have shown bacteria in
the lake developing resistance to antibiot-
ics.
“The bacteria there had developed re-
sistance to nine different antibiotics,” he
said.
Other studies have shown hormones,
such as those found in birth control pills,
could adversely affect the reproductive
health of fish, even at the low levels pres-
ent in municipal wastewater.
Another key to protecting the lakes is
ensuring environmental laws are kept
strong.
“Every time government proposed to
weaken or roll back environment laws, we
make people aware of it,” said Mr. Matt-
son.
Both Lake Ontario Waterkeeper and
Great Lakes United are fighting a U.S.
Coast Guard rule that would allow ships
to continue to dump cargo waste into
the water. The Waterkeeper organization
said 70 years of dumping has resulted in
550 tons of coal, limestone, iron ore and
taconite going into the Great Lakes waters
annually.
“It will just allow the shipping industry
to basically use the Great Lakes as a dump
to clean their ships in,” said Mr. Mattson.
The overall goal is to ensure all residents
receive what they’re entitled to under the
law, swimmable, drinkable and fishable
lakes, he said.
“It took a long time to destroy the Great
Lakes and it’s going to take a while to win
them back.”LAKE HURONLAKE HURONLAK

It’s not that scary
AJAX — Steve Emery lifts up his daughter Olivia, who will be starting school this September, to peek into
a school bus. The school bus orientation, put on this past weekend by Durham Student Transportation Ser-
vices, included a video presentation and short bus ride.
Catholic board’s
expanded service
starts this September
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — About 900 kids will
get twice the bus service they had
before, thanks to the Catholic school
board’s enhanced kindergarten pro-
gram.
This September, the Durham
Catholic District School Board starts
noon-hour busing for half-day kin-
dergarten students.
The enhanced service provides
them with a ride to and home from
school.
Most people are likely aware of the
additional service, said Ryan Put-
nam, superintendent of business.
“I think the word was out through
the school closure process and bud-
get process that this was going to be
a value-added service,” Mr. Putnam
said.
Morning kids will be dropped off at
their bus stops before the afternoon
ones are picked up to keep the bus
ride as short as possible, he said.
The noon-hour stops will not be
tailored to their homes either, to pre-
vent confusion between where they
get on and off the bus.
“Consistency is key for young kids
– young kids, as well as for caregiv-
ers,” Mr. Putnam said.
If a kindergarten student is eligible
for a bus ride one way, they’ll be eli-
gible for it both ways now.
The board has a 1.6-kilometre
walking policy for all elementary stu-
dents.
The additional service comes with
a price tag of about $600,000, but is
also something the board anticipates
will be short term.
“We’re going to continue with it
until such time it’s full day JK/SK,”
Mr. Putnam said.
The Province is set to receive a
report on moving to full-day kin-
dergarten in February 2009, with a
projected start date of 2010.
Regardless, the Catholic board
will continue it’s move to noon-hour
busing. Noon-hour busing was pre-
viously provided by the school board
until the 1990s, probably because of
funding, Mr. Putnam said.
The board has 32 of 39 schools of-
fering the half-day program.
More time in the first week will
be allotted for drivers to be more
attentive in providing that personal
and comfort level for kids and their
parents.

Nice save
PICKERING — Ronin Skeet, eight, of Pickering makes the save for team ‘Germany’ at Princess Diana Park
during the Pickering Soccer Club day camp. More than 400 kids participated over five weeks.
DURHAM — Almost $300,000 in
drugs and cash has been seized after
Durham Regional Police dismantled
a cocaine and marijuana distribu-
tion ring.
Project Archer began in early April
and was focused on a drug distribu-
tion network that linked Durham,
southern York Region and Toronto.
Undercover officers observed sev-
eral drug transactions, including one
in the parking lot of a Pickering res-
taurant on Aug. 19, in which three
people were arrested.
On Aug. 20 police searched several
residences in Oshawa, Markham and
Toronto.
About $200,000 in drugs, including
cocaine, Oxycontin, marijuana and
ecstasy were recovered, along with
almost $90,000 cash.
Derek Gibson, 23, of Rideau
Street in Oshawa, Kirk McCreadie,
23, of Red Maple Court in Whitby,
Lauren Noftle, 19, of Hialeah Cres-
cent in Whitby, David Cairns, 23 of

AJAX — There’s still a little time
left for summer sleeping in, but
some students are already think-
ing about getting ready for school.
Sporting a new pair of running
shoes as he walks with a friend
along the Durham Centre sidewalk
in Ajax, Devante Douglas is getting
ready for school, which starts on
Sept. 2.
“I’m getting some school sup-
plies, starting to go to the library
a little, and I also exercise once in
a while to keep active for sports,”
said Devante, 14.
So far, he’s bought pencils, eras-
ers, binders, and markers.
His friend, Shantel Gregory,
started shopping a few weeks ago
for pencils, binders, pencil cases,
pens, Sharpies, and other sup-
plies.
“Anything I thought I would
need,” Shantel said. “I like doing
things earlier because then I don’t
have to worry about it.”
She’s a bit worried about going
into Grade 9 though.
“High school in general for me
has never really been one of my
happiest thoughts,” said Shantel,
14.
She’s trying to ensure she’s pre-
pared and has signed up for bas-
ketball, field hockey, baseball and
soccer at school.
Devante is starting high school
too, but he’s excited.
“It’s going to be different than
regular school,” he said, and added
he looks forward to joining teams
and meeting new people.
This year, he plans on reading
bigger books and staying ahead of
work for tests.
“I’m going to be more togeth-
er; I’m usually all over the place,”
Devante said.
Shantel is trying not to think
about the first day of Grade 9.
“There’s going to be a lot of older
people I’m going to school with,”
Shantel said. “I was the oldest in
the school and now I’m going to be
the youngest. It’s going to suck.”
Chelsea Kikar, 7, is almost ready
for school – she just needs a bag.
“That’s all,” she said. “I have
everything I need already.”
Her school supplies include
crayons, pencils, markers and
some stencils.
Chelsea’s happy to go back to
school.
“I want to meet my new teacher,”
Chelsea said.
She’s been preparing by learn-
ing more stuff.
“I know my ABCs so I don’t have
to practise those anymore,” Chel-
sea said. “I’m learning how to do
more math. I’m getting better and
better. My counting’s better.”
At 13, Michael Turnbull is
going into Grade 8 and hasn’t re-
ally started preparing for back to
school yet.
“I’m planning on getting pen-
cils, regular stuff, calculators,
stuff like that,” Michael said. He’ll
probably get his supplies in Sep-
tember.
“After school, some stores have
the prices cheaper,” Michael said.
To prepare for school, he’ll prob-
ably go to bed earlier.

DURHAM — The group
charged with protecting
sources of drinking water in
Durham is tapping local resi-
dents for input.
The CTC Source Protection
Region is made up of three
conservation authorities and
stretches from part of Halton
to Oshawa and a portion of
Clarington. In north Durham,
it includes the southern parts
of Uxbridge and Scugog as
well as all of Ajax, Pickering,
Whitby and Oshawa and part
of Clarington. It’s made up of
the Credit Valley, the Toronto
and Region and the Central
Lake Ontario conservation
authorities. CTC represents
the first letter from each of
the authorities.
Former Uxbridge council-
lor Susan Self, chairwoman
of the CTC Source Protection
Committee, said the commit-
tee’s work is mandated by the
Province in the wake of the
Walkerton crisis. There are 19
source protection regions in
Ontario.
“The Clean Water Act spec-
ifies that each municipality
must develop a source pro-
tection plan for their water.
The whole thing is a five-year
(process) and we have a man-
date to be done by 2012,” she
said. The first part of a three-
step process is to develop
terms of reference.
“It’s the rule book as to
how you’re going to develop
a source protection plan, how
are you going to protect your
drinking water,” said Ms. Self.
The terms outline what
water systems are included
in the process and cover both
surface water sources, such
as lakes or rivers, and ground-
water sources that feed wells.
The public has a chance to
contribute to the discussion
on Sept. 10 at a public meet-
ing at Regional Headquarters
on Rossland Road and Gar-
den Street in Whitby.
Starting with an open
house at 6 p.m. and followed
by a presentation and ques-
tion and answer period at
7 p.m., the meeting will not
only allow residents to leave
feedback, but also to get
informed about the issue.
Those who cannot attend can
submit comments until Sept.
21. Information is available
online at www.ctcswp.ca.
The second step is to evalu-
ate the watershed as it is. Ms.
Self expects that process to
take approximately a year.
“What that is, in laymen’s
terms, is what’s the state of the
nation today? What does the
watershed look like today?”
Finally, the committee will
come up with a plan to be
enforced by the Province.
Ms. Self said while parts of
the work have been done so
far by municipalities, this is
the largest scale project she
knows of. Included in the
plan will be allowable land
uses near intake protection
zones around wells and in
lakes and rivers where the
water is drawn.
“Do you have a farm which
is spreading manure, which
is ultimately what happened
in Walkerton, so you define
the area that needs to be pro-
tected around the well,” said
Ms. Self. In addition to the
CTC Source Protection Re-
gion, Durham is covered by
two other regions.
The Trent Conservation
Coalition to the east covering
part of Clarington, and part of
Scugog, including Port Perry.
The northern parts of Scugog
and Uxbridge and all of Brock
are part of the South Geor-
gian Bay Lake Simcoe area.
Ms. Self acknowledged it
can get complicated when
areas like Scugog Township
are part of three regions. But
the lines were drawn based
on watersheds.
“Conservation authorities,
they’re used to working with
each other. A river doesn’t fol-
low a political border.”

PICKERING — The federal
finance and provincial trans-
portation ministers were at the
Scarborough GO Station Friday
to announce the completion of
improvements to relieve con-
gestion for thousands of riders.
Jim Flaherty, minister of fi-
nance and minister responsible
for the Greater Toronto Area
(GTA), said the addition of a
third rail on the Lakeshore East
line from the Danforth GO Sta-
tion to Scarborough GO Station
will benefit commuters across
the eastern GTA.
“This is the GO line that I use
and my family use from Whitby
into Union Station,” he said.
“This is an important GO line
and I know that from my experi-
ence,” said Mr. Flaherty, MP for
Whitby-Oshawa.
The third line was completed
in April, but wasn’t able to take
trains at full speed until recently.
The addition of the line means
express GO trains and Via trains
can travel straight through on
the route without being slowed
down by GO trains making fre-
quent stops.
More than 44,000 riders use
the corridor each weekday.
“With the completion of the
third track along GO’s Lake-
shore East line, GO trains will be
able to keep moving as they pass
other trains that are causing de-
lays,” said Ontario Transporta-
tion Minister Jim Bradley. “Not
only are we easing congestion
for GO passengers, we are build-
ing a greener, more sustainable
transportation system.”
To improve efficiency, GO
Transit has also introduced 12-
car passenger trains, the lon-
gest in North America, allowing
more than 300 additional riders
per train. The platforms at Eglin-
ton, Scarborough and Danforth
GO Stations were lengthened to
accommodate the 12-car trains.
“Getting more people on GO
Transit means less vehicles on
our roads,” Mr. Bradley said,
adding that also means less en-
vironmental damaging green-
house gas emissions.
The Lakeshore East line runs
from Union Station east to Os-
hawa.
The expansion projects along
the corridor began in October
2005 and were completed with
the tunnel installation work at
Scarborough Station at the end
of July. The projects are part of
the GO Transit Rail Improve-
ment Program (GO TRIP), a
$1 billion expansion initiative
funded by the federal and pro-
vincial governments and local
municipalities through the
Canada Strategic Infrastructure
Fund.
The investment in public tran-
sit illustrates his government’s
unwavering commitment, Mr.
Flaherty said. As the cost of fuel
rises and gridlock on roads gets
worse, it’s important to contin-
ue to invest in projects such as
these to improve the quality of
life for commuters, he said.

GO adds third line to ease congestion
After growing up
together in Cadets,
three young men are
shipping off to Kandahar
By Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — It’s been a long road
for three Oshawa friends who grew up
together in the local 1913 Cadet Corp.
Now Gabriel Keane Zedic-Best, Chris
Russell and Alan Flynn, all 22, are pre-
paring to ship out to Afghanistan this
fall and they couldn’t be more excited.
“People don’t understand, soldiers
in Petawawa want to go to Afghani-
stan,” Mr. Flynn said. “Everyone volun-
teers and they’re really gung-ho.”
Looking sharp in their dress uni-
forms, despite the thermometer hover-
ing near 30 degrees, all three men were
calm and relaxed as they awaited an
afternoon going-away party Saturday.
“It’s like any other job,” Mr. Russell
said of their deployment. “The same
as if you were a carpenter, if you’re not
doing your job you’re not happy.”
The three agreed one of the biggest
misconceptions of this war is that sol-
diers don’t want to be there.
Mr. Flynn, who like his friends has
been in the military just over two years,
says heading to Afghanistan is one of
the reasons he signed up.
“This is a new army,” he said. “All the
people signing up are joining so they
can go overseas.”
The three first became friends when
they were 12 and attended the Black
Down cadet training camp at CFB Bor-
den. It was there they developed an
interest in the military. Despite their
closeness, the three split off into differ-
ent trades when they joined the mili-
tary. Mr. Zedic-Best joined the infantry
because he “wanted to do the hardest
thing possible,” he said.
Mr. Flynn joined the armoured di-
vision after honing an interest in ar-
moured vehicles at Oshawa’s Ferret
Club, a part of the Military and Indus-
trial Museum.
“I kind of fell in love with the job,” he
said of working with the vehicles.
Mr. Russell is a member of the Mili-
tary Police platoon.
All three friends happily tease each
other about their different trades, with
Mr. Flynn deemed “too picky” for re-
fusing to drink his coffee after a fly
landed in it.
“If you were in the infantry you’d
drink it,” Mr. Zedic-Best said, laughing.
“Fly and all.”
Although all three soldiers are vis-
ibly excited for the upcoming tour, Mr.
Zedic-Best is the most vocal.
“If I could be there tomorrow, I’d do
it in a heartbeat,” he said, explaining
that he would be responsible for con-
ducting patrols, making contact with
Afghan villages and tracking Taliban.
A string of recent deaths, including
two deaths in three days that upped
the Canadian death toll to 90, does
little to put a damper on their spirits.
“There’s sort of a dark humour in the
military that we use to deal with that,”
Mr. Flynn said, before quickly deeming
it unsuitable for civilian ears.
“Basically, we’re more worried about
each other than ourselves,” Mr. Russell
said.
For Mr. Zedic-Best, it’s all about per-
spective. “I’m more concerned about
being able to do my job properly,” he
said. “Because that will save the lives
of my buddies.”
It’s a different story for the families
waiting at home, who admit to being
scared, although they’re putting on
brave faces.
“It’s been a long time coming,” Eliza-
beth Zedic said of her son’s deploy-
ment. “It’s a natural step for him to go.
And even though it’s hard, it’s a little
easier knowing they have each other
over there.”

Pickering resident shoots for stardom
Has hit single on
popular Toronto
radio station
Also acts and models
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — Success rarely
comes easily.
And rapper/singer/producer/
actor/model Troy ‘Joe Louis’
Crossfield can vouch for that.
The Pickering native spends his
days working for Dell Computers
and the rest of his time working
his way to the top of the enter-
tainment business.
Despite having to work the day
he was interviewed, he was also
fixing up verses for a mix tape,
joining in on conference calls,
checking out acting prospects
and managing his MySpace and
facebook accounts.
A Durham College graduate
w ith a diploma in advertising,
Joe Louis has knowledge of the
music and marketing business,
but he also has a love for music.
“My house was crazy (with
music),” he said in an interview.
“There was a whole array of
things.”
From the time he was born
- to two musical parents who
both grew up in Jamaica - he
listened to all sorts of music such
as soca, reggae and dancehall,
and looked up to artists like San-
chez, Donny Hathaway and Sam
Cooke.
He began rapping at the age
of 12 and soon took a serious in-
terest in music when he started
taking vocal lessons and joined
a gospel choir at a local church.
He also joined an R&B group,
Selfish, and they were signed by
Canadian record label, Onasys.
That was followed by a move to
New York where the group was
recognized by record labels such
as Atlantic Records and Def Jam,
and he got a good taste of the
“fast life.”
But that ended abruptly when
Onasys pulled out of the music
business.
“It was very hard because I
didn’t want to come back be-
cause I left telling my family I
wouldn’t come back until I was a
star,” he said.
But it didn’t take Joe Louis
long to bounce back on his feet.
He teamed up in 2000 with Rus-
sell “Chuck” Morgan and formed
CampSoul Music, making up
half of the production team,
Chuck&Joe, and they continue to
write and produce music today.
“It’s going really well,” he said.
“We’re working with producers
in the States and in the city (To-
ronto) too.”
The artist writes lyrics based
on personal aspects from his life,
such as dealing with his former
fiance recently calling off their
engagement and the loss of one
of his five sisters at an early age.
The first thing he plans to buy
when his hard work pays off is a
tombstone for his sister, Lanthia,
who died of lupus when he was
11 years old. His family couldn’t
afford one at the time.
Joe Louis released his first
single, ‘Dip Low’, in 2003, and
has released a number of singles
since. ‘Eyebrow Pop’ hit the radio
in 2007 and his current song,
‘Miss Pretty’, is getting regular
play on Flow 93.5.
He’s acted in a number of com-
munity theatre productions and
independent films in Canada
and the United States, and has
participated in various fashion
shows throughout Toronto.
He’s also the new host of Guava
Leaf T.V. (www.guavaleaf.com).
The man of many talents “can’t
choose a favourite...I love them
all.”

music, upcoming events and
more information visit www.jo-
elouisonline.com or www.camp-
soul.com, and he can be found
on facebook.

Ajax teen medals at meets in Quebec, U.S.
Nichelle Prince
brings home
the hardware
Sets Ontario
records along
the way
AJAX — An Ajax teen posted
medal-winning performances
on the track in two prestigious
meets recently.
Nichelle Prince, 14, ran at the
Legion Canadian Youth Track
and Field Championship in Sher-
brooke, Que., along with the Her-
shey Track and Field Games in
Pennsylvania where she tracked
down medals.
At the Legion nationals, Prince
captured a silver and two bronze
medals in the under-15 girls’ di-
vision.
She ran to silver in the 200
metres in 25.13 seconds, which
represented a new personal best
and an Ontario record for her
age group.
She also won bronze in the
100 metres, where she posted a
time of 12.19 seconds, also a new
personal best and an Ontario re-
cord.
Her other bronze came as part
of Ontario’s medley relay team
for her age group.
Prince qualified for the Legion
Canadian youth meet by win-
ning the U15 100 metres (12.25)
and 200 metres (25.20) at the
Ontario Legend championship
in Kitchener.
Her times in both events were
new Ontario Track and Field As-
sociation (OFTA) records for the
bantam age group.
Meanwhile, Prince joined her
Bramalea Bullets Track and Field
Club teammates Naomi Kerr, 14,
Khadijah Thompson, 14, and
Nita Patterson-Reid, 14, to win
the gold medal in the girls’ 13-14
age group at the Hershey Track
and Field Games in Hershey,
Penn.
The Bramalea club foursome
ran to first place in a time of
49.36, which eclipsed the sec-
ond-place relay team from Bronx,
N.Y., which finished in 50.69.
The bronze medal went to
a foursome from San Jose in
51.73.
The Bramalea team won the
Hershey Ontario finals in 49.76,
a new provincial record.
Prince and Thompson are re-
turning members from the 2006
gold medal relay team at the
Hershey meet.
This past indoor season, Prince
also established new provincial
records in the 50 metres (6.73)
and 60 metres (8.75).

Suicide prevention day highlights awareness
Local services battle against
stigma surrounding suicide
By Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — The fifth annual World Sui-
cide Prevention Day, set for Sept. 10, brings
hope for local services such as Distress
Centre Durham that suicide awareness will
continue to grow.
“The issue with suicide is that it is gen-
derless, ageless, cultureless, anybody is vul-
nerable,” said Jennifer Tedford, director of
community resources with Distress Centre
Durham.
“One thing we encounter a lot is this stig-
ma and a veil of myth surrounding suicide.”
The centre works to dispel these myths
through awareness programs that include a
yearly suicide conference, suicide survivors
support groups and school presentations.
“The biggest myth we hear is that talking
about suicide will put that idea in some-
one’s head,” said Victoria Kehoe, executive
director of the distress centre.
Every presentation the distress centre
holds includes a special section devoted
to educating the public about common
myths.
The centre, which began strictly as a 24-
hour telephone helpline in 1970, expanded
in 2003 to include outreach programs such
as awareness presentations and a public
resource centre. In the four years they’ve
offered expanded services, Ms. Kehoe says
they have noticed an increase in public
awareness about suicide issues.
“We’ve had a dramatic increase in the
number of calls we receive,” Ms. Kehoe said,
referring to last years’s 40 per cent increase
in helpline calls.
“With our new services we’re trying to
focus on more of a holistic approach to
dealing with suicide prevention and the
public seems to be picking up on that.”
One of those initiatives is a call-out pro-
gram, where distress centre volunteers
maintain contact with people who have
sought help in the past.
Other programs being looked at include
stronger teen suicide prevention, including
a teen-specific support group and helpline.
All of the centre’s support groups are run
by suicide survivors, who are better able to
identify with the unique grief process sur-
vivors share. Many suicide survivors may
have found the body of a loved one or seen
the scene and often suffer from post-trau-
matic stress disorder as a result.
“Grief from a traumatic death is very dif-
ferent than other types of grief; survivors
of suicide face a lot of judgement,” said
Christine Cieslar, a suicide survivor group
co-ordinator.
“There’s a stigma out there that if your
child dies from suicide, what kind of parent
are you? I always tell people suicide is never
about the person, it’s about the affliction.”
To mark world suicide prevention day,
which is co-sponsored by the International
Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP)
and the World Health Organization (WHO),
the distress centre is holding its fourth an-
nual Walk for Suicide Awareness Sept. 13.
The walk is one of the centre’s main fund-
raising and awareness events. Ms. Kehoe
said she hopes this year’s walk will be “big-
ger and better” than any other and is espe-
cially excited for the balloon release after
the walk, where participants write messages
on helium balloons and release them into
the sky in memory of loved ones they’ve lost
to suicide.
The Walk for Suicide Awareness will be
held at Heydenshore Park in Whitby. Check-
in begins at 10 a.m. with the walk at 10:30.
All participants must raise a minimum of
$20 in pledges.
To register for the walk, or for more infor-
mation, visit Distress Centre Durham online
at www.distresscentredurham.com
A global view
• About a million people die worldwide from suicide each year
• Every minute there are two more deaths from suicide
• In most developed countries suicide is either the second- or third-leading cause of death among teenagers and is the 13th leading cause of death
worldwide for people of all ages
• Suicide rates are highest in Eastern European countries such as Lithuania, Estonia and Belarus, where they make up about 45 of every 100,000
deaths
• Rates are lowest in Mediterranean Europe and the predominantly Catholic countries of Latin America and Asia and Muslim countries such as
Pakistan.
•The most suicides in the world occur in Asia, which accounts for 60 per cent of the worldwide suicide rate
• China, India and Japan together account for 40 per cent of all world suicides
• A definitive world view of suicide may be impossible because some countries still underreport suicide due to social stigma
