The Pickering Ward 1 regional councillor was questioning Eliza- beth Dowdeswell, president of the Nuclear Waste Management Organization, after her presenta- tion at the May 24 Pickering man- agement forum meeting. In the draft report released by the organization the same day, it laid out long-term options for the storage of nuclear waste. An un- derground repository in a yet-to- be determined community looks like the option of choice, with that community to receive compensa- tion for hosting the repository. Coun. Brenner questioned if there would be compensation for Pickering for holding the waste for the next 30, if not 60 years, until the long-term facility is built. “Thirty years by my standard is long-term and by the residents of Pickering’s (it is) long term,” he said. “What’s it going to take to get it on the public agenda?” Ms. Dowdeswell said the issue could be taken into consideration as the report is discussed before finalization in the fall. Coun. Brenner also asked about compensation for the time that the waste has already been here. “When can we expect equity and fairness retroactive to the 30 years this has been in our com- munity?” he asked. Pickering wants to see the nuclear money Committee will help Pickering chart its course for the future By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Time is running out for the City of Pickering to de- cide if it wants to continue joint ani- mal services with Whitby and Ajax. The Town of Whitby wants to re- visit the 20-year-old Pickering-Ajax- Whitby Animal Services contract, saying it should get an administra- tive fee since the service is operated out of its municipality. Pickering has until the end of June to respond to Whitby. A staff report outlining Pickering’s options for animal service was pre- sented at the May 24 executive com- mittee meeting. While the options include partnering with Ajax and renegotiating with Whitby, infor- mation received May 19 (after the report was prepared) from Whitby and Ajax brings into question those options. Other scenarios include the City using the shelter in Whitby but doing the enforcement and educa- tional aspects of animal control it- self, or contracting out. “We need to be really creative and if we don’t move on this quickly we’ll be left with no services Jan. 1,” said Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner. He brought forward a motion to have the animal control services re- port referred to a committee of three councillors and chief administrative officer Tom Quinn to develop a plan to ensure services are available to residents Jan. 1. The motion passed with Coun. Brenner, Ward 2 Region- al Councillor Bill McLean and Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson taking on the task. Coun. Brenner said the City shouldn’t just look to the east for op- tions, but should also consider part- nering with Markham or Toronto (at a Scarborough location). “We have some unique opportu- nities (available) to us but the one thing that has to be paramount is the care of the animals picked up,” he said. One resident came out to speak on the issue. Brad Gates owns a wildlife control business that oper- ates out of Scarborough but also serves west Durham. He said he has received numerous complaints HE’S A FLY GUY A.J.

Durham Regional Police said the 48-year-old bike rider was eastbound on Taunton Road, when he collided with a car driven by a 20-year-old Ux- bridge man that was making a left turn onto Brock Road. The motorcycle rider sus- tained major injuries in the crash and was taken to local hospital before being airlifted to intensive care in Toronto. As of yesterday, he was listed in serious condition. The driver of the car was not hurt. Police accident investigators closed the roadway for several hours. They say road conditions were favourable and that alco- hol was not a factor in the colli- sion. Ajax man in serious condition following crash in north Pickering By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM — The race to get the Ajax and Pickering hospital re- development approved isn’t over just yet — and the hospital needs the community’s help getting it there. “There’s so much help we’ve received already... We’re not fin- ished and we still need your help,” said Bob Oldman, a director on the Rouge Valley Health System board. “We need to make sure that everyone who can say some- thing, does.” The hospital and communi- ty have been working for years planning and raising money for the $59-million redevelopment project. The project has received positive feedback from Ministry of Health staff, but the decision on which capital projects get the go-ahead this year is a political one. “The truth is, across the prov- ince there are a lot of commu- nities in the same situation and there are only so many projects that can be approved,” Mr. Oldman said. The hospital needs municipal leaders, local MPPs and community groups to let Health Minister George Smith- erman and David Ca- plan, minister of public infrastructure renewal, know how important the redevelopment is to staff, physicians and the community. “The board and the adminis- tration alone can’t get this project across the finish line,” Mr. Old- man said. “We need to ask the community to get behind us and support it.” The Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade has taken the initiative to send a letter to Mr. Smitherman and Mr. Caplan. They hope to have it out this week. Executive director Kathy McKay said a survey earlier in the year showed access to medical services was the top concern of the board’s 320 members. “We want this ex- pansion to continue because of the existing and predicted growth in the community,” she said. Warren Hurren, chair- man of the board’s gov- ernment relations committee, said it is important to stay on the time line, which would see the project tendered next spring. “We are aware of the constraints put on the buildings and the ser- vices being provided... with the continued growth in the area,” he said. “To see the project pushed back would be detrimental to all. “A delay of a year or two is un- acceptable.” The board is also asking indi- vidual members to write letters of support. Hume Martin, Rouge Valley president and chief executive of- ficer, was thrilled when he heard of the board’s support. “We need the government to know this community feels strongly,” he said. “This commu- nity has waited too long already and the staff has waited too long.” The government is expected to make an announcement about capital projects in June. The Ajax redevelopment is to result in 81,450 square feet of new construction and 60,405 square feet of renovated space. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 3, 2005 PAGE 3 P D URHAM R EGION H OME B UILDERS ’ ASSOCIATION F eaturing Guest Speaker...

EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Funds a necessary boost to firefighters A lot of people take for granted the expertise of our fire- fighters and their abilities. But, like any professional, in any field, ongoing training is necessary to stay at the top of the game. So it’s a welcome announcement to Ajax and Pickering to have $178,000 handed out to each department recently, funds that have been sought for some time now. In Pickering, Colin Arnott, vice-president of the Pickering Professional Firefighters Association, says the money will make its members safer. And, he explains, that has an impact on the community as residents are safer too with better-trained fire- fighters. In Ajax, the same opinion holds true. Matt Pegg, Ajax’s deputy fire chief, said its members and the community get a positive impact from more training opportunities, and they have an im- mediate opportunity to make use of a portion of the funds. Currently, there is training that firefighters have to travel to Oshawa or Gravenhurst for, because they are the closest areas that provide specific facilities for honing some aspects of the job. But Ajax, with the funding, may be able to incorporate some of that into its new fire services headquarters to be built at Salem and Rossland roads. And Pickering will be looking into increasing its public edu- cation program with the funds. It’s a wise use for the funds all-round, because having both well-trained firefighters and a better informed public can only mean one thing: better safety for everyone. According to fire department statistics, the majority of fires occur in the home. So it stands to reason that spreading the word about fire safety, especially fire prevention, is a wise in- vestment. The Province’s commitment to this issue, and backing it up with funds, must be applauded. Municipalities have done an adequate job of funding their fire services and training, but funding from the Province has been lacking and makes a big difference. Judge that by the smiles on the faces of fire department of- ficials in Ajax and Pickering this week. Defection of Stronach hurts everyone To the editor: Canadian political mogul Belinda Stronach shocked fellow Conservatives with her unforeseen decision to cross the floor and, thus, possibly has hindered future Conservative ambitions in Ontario. Her defection questioned the leadership ability of Stephen Harper. At the leadership convention, it became apparent that the party platform was out of touch with moderate Canadian values. This defection furthers this notion by suggesting that Mr. Harper cannot keep moderates in his midst. Furthermore, it perpetuates the idea that the Conservative Party will play to the interests of Western Canada by losing such a large base of much-needed support in Ontario. Nevertheless, Ms. Stronach’s move to join the Liberals has also damaged her credibility. She left the party simply to further her own career ambitions by accepting the cabinet position. Moreover, the political snafu that arose from Ms. Stronach’s defection seemed to hurt the credibility of the Liberal Party. It seemed to suggest that Paul Martin’s desperation for power had caused him to make offers of interest in order to secure votes. Much to the chagrin of Conservatives, it was speculated that the Martin government was attempting to buy votes by offering cabinet-level positions to some other members of Parliament.

Ajax, Pickering has talented athletic base Many compelling stories will ema- nate from the provincial high school track and field champi- onships in Windsor this weekend. As usual, West Durham secondary schools are sending a large contingent to compete at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) championships. And, almost assuredly, medals will make their way back here. Pickering High School, that track and field factory under the direction of long- time coach Cyril Sahadath, will send an incredible 19 athletes — the most of any school in Durham. Marc LaTouche is in line for OFSAA medals in the senior boys’ 100 metres and 200m. A transfer from Markham’s Brother Andre Catholic High School, LaTouche finished out of the medals at last year’s provincials. He is, however, poised for a breakthrough season since joining the Pickering High program. At last week’s OFSAA central regionals, LaTouche easily won the 100m and 200m. LaTouche is on the OFSAA performance list as fourth best in the 100 metres and tops in the 200 metres. But, what the list of best times doesn’t reflect is that LaTouche asserted himself at U.S. meets this season, posting times that make him one of the top Canadian high schoolers in each of these events. OFSAA marks the continuation of the rivalry between two premier distance runners in the province — Michael An- derson of Ajax’s Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School and Pickering High’s Ryan Finn. Next-door neighbours in Ajax, that neighbourliness is put aside on the track. The rivals raced side by side in the senior boys’ 1,500 metres at the central regionals, with Anderson’s finishing kick overtaking Finn in the final 100 metres. Although Anderson and Finn are well down the OFSAA performance list, expect those two to be the class of the field in Windsor. Finn, still nursing a calf injury, will want to ensure a solid high school track career comes to a fitting close at OFSAA. He’s headed to the University of Kentucky in the fall. Expect Nikkita Holder of Dunbarton High School to also bid farewell to a dis- tinguished high school track career with medals at OFSAA. In Windsor, she’ll run the senior girls’ 100m hurdles, 100m and 200m. At central regionals, she won the 100m hurdles and 200m events, while finishing second in the 100m. Pickering High hurdlers could also tap into medals, especially Ryan Gordon and Anthony Lue in the senior boys’ 110m hurdles, with Lue also a medal threat in the 400m hurdles.

Public elementary teachers work- ing for the Durham District School Board, in addition to Catholic el- ementary and high school teachers here, have ratified four-year agree- ments that expire in the summer of 2008. As well, early Wednesday morning the public board and its high school teachers shook hands on a tentative agreement covering the same time frame. The deals come in the wake of landmark agreements reached be- tween provincial teacher unions and the government in April and May. In exchange for signing four-year con- tracts with a 10.6 per cent, cumula- tive salary increase by the end of the deals, the Province promised to hire more teachers to address prepara- tion time and workload issues. Both the public and the Durham Catholic District School Board are slated to ratify the deals next week. Dan Gryzwacz, president of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association’s (OECTA) Durham el- ementary local, said members were extremely happy with the four-year contract. He said 97.5 per cent of voting teachers favoured the deal. “It mirrors the framework that was developed by ETFO and the government,” Mr. Gryzwacz said. He says the contract, like all the deals retroactive to last summer, will see the unit’s roughly 1,000 teachers receive raises of two per cent in each of the first two years, 2.5 in the third year and three per cent in the fourth year. As well, it includes an addi- tional 0.7 per cent at the end of the agreement. The contract increases teacher planning and preparation time and improves their benefits package, Mr. Gryzwacz said. His colleagues, led by Durham OECTA secondary president Bob McDonnell, also voted to approve a new contract at a Wednesday meet- ing, a 97.4 per cent endorsement. “You can assume it’s very close to the framework the provincial (OECTA) developed,” he said Thurs- day. Members of the Elementary Te achers’ Federation of Ontar- io, Durham local, also ratified on Wednesday. President Rachel Gencey says 93 per cent voted to ac- cept the deal struck with the public board last week. As a result of the tentative agree- ment between public high school teachers and the board, the ‘pink letter’ levied by the union, advising non-Durham teachers not to apply for jobs here, was replaced by a green letter on Thursday and sanc- tions in schools were suspended, pending final ratification. “There will be a general meet- ing of the membership on (June 6) with in-school ratification on the seventh,” said Peter Tumey, District 13 president of the Ontario Second- ary School Teachers’ Federation. He added the deal was “influenced by the provincial framework.” Supply teachers at the two boards are without tentative deals, with ne- gotiations scheduled for next week. Secondary teachers reach deal, three others ratify agreements P PAGE 8 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 3, 2005 durhamregion.com HUGE PIANO SALE Markham Fair Grounds 10801 McCowan Rd (North east corner of McCowan & Elgin Mills Rd) 1-800-281-7172 For Info Call or Visit:www.pianos.ca New and Used Pianos & Digitals including: Niemeyer, Kawai, Samick, Yamaha, Young Chang.

Participants will spend four days exploring Dur- ham’s culture and taking in conference sessions on campus, before travelling to Ottawa’s Cité Collégial for the second half of the event. PIN aims to help colleges better serve their commu- nities, and prepare students to work in a global society. The network, comprised of school presidents from Can- ada, the United States, Brit- ain and Australia, provides an international forum to study issues affecting post- secondary education, and opportunities for educators to share information and visit other campuses. As a member of the PIN executive, Durham College President Gary Polonsky said he is thrilled that the school will be hosting the confer- ence, adding that about 40 participants are expected. “Being able to bring an international conference to town is one of the contribu- tions of the new campus,” he said. “We now have the ac- commodations, eating space and meeting rooms to host up to 1,400 people, which is a big improvement.” The PIN conference takes place from June 24 to July 1. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 3, 2005 PAGE 9 A/P 0AID FOR BY THE 'OVERNMENT OF /NTARIO"ELIEVE IT OR NOT YOUR KID CAN DIE FROM KISSING /R SHARING A BOTTLE A STRAW EVEN A SMOKE OR LIPSTICK )TS CALLED MENINGITIS # AND SHARING SALIVA SPREADS IT "ASICALLY BACTERIA INFECT THE BLOODSTREAM AND THE LINING OF THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD 3YMPTOMS INCLUDE HEADACHE &EVER &ATIGUE !

While smoking will now be banned in private clubs, legions and bingo halls, designated rooms (DSRs) will still be allowed in nurs- ing homes and the First Nations- run Great Blue Heron Casino on Scugog Island. Continuing to exempt homes for the aged is disheartening to Janet Holtrust, a personal support work- er at Versa Care in Uxbridge. She’s been fighting her employer, the Re- gion and Province to get the DSR removed from the facility, where smoke drifts to employees, visitors and patients on oxygen. “It is ironic that health-care work- ers, who are dedicated to protect- ing the health and well-being of all the patients and clients we serve, would be the ones who receive the least protection as workers under this bill,” she said at a recent public meeting in Oshawa. John Ingrao, manager environ- mental health for the Durham health department, agreed. “If the Province does go forward with the exemptions to nursing home facilities, it is a disappoint- ment,” he said. “We are health ad- vocates first. We’re getting the best we can get at this time.” Of the 19 long-term care facili- ties in Durham, 14 of them offer designated smoking rooms. The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care maintains — as the Region did while debating its bylaw — that nursing facilities are residences. “This is not to legislate what people can and can’t do in their homes,” said spokesman John Le- therby. The smoking bill says that people must be able to smoke un- attended or they cannot go into DSRs. This, coupled with the fact that workers have the right to re- fuse unsafe work, will protect em- ployees, the Ministry said. Currently, Bill 164, the Smoke Free Ontario Act, will not allow smoking in gambling businesses such as bingo halls and casinos. But that should not apply to First Nations properties such as the ca- sino in Port Perry, which is run by the Mississaugas of Scugog Island, said the band’s lawyer. “The proposed Ontario laws reg- ulating the use of tobacco products is not likely to be applicable where a First Nation has enacted conflict- ing regulations with the approval of Indian Affairs (Canada),” said Brian Daly. “It’s expected (the laws) will not be enforced on the First Na- tions, including the Mississaugas.” But around 400 employees of the casino signed a petition that was brought to the public meeting. Why is it that the casino is regu- lated by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, the Occupa- tional Health and Safety Act and the Labour Relations Act, but is not subject to local — and now maybe not provincial — smoking bylaws, asked Rick Horwath, representing the Canadian Auto Workers. “The members of this casino can- not accept the fact that, because we are on a reserve, we have no rights,” he said, adding that the number of smokers has increased dramatically since the Region’s bylaw came into effect June 1, 2004. While executive management and native band offic- es are smoke-free, employees work in second-hand smoke, he said. Mr. Letherby said the Province is currently negotiating with First Nations across Ontario. Several groups, including Dur- ham Lives!, the Oshawa Communi- ty Health Centre and Whitby Youth Council praised the proposed pro- vincial ban for banning so called “power walls” — the flashing, co- lourful displays of cigarettes be- hind the counters at convenience stores. Mr. Ingrao is happy that Bill 164 will “level the playing field” among municipalities, particularly when it comes to DSRs. Jurisdictions such as York and Toronto still allow the rooms, to the anger of Durham bar and restaurant owners. The Region will have beefed up enforcement come May 31, 2006, when the provincial ban is expect- ed to become law. For more infor- mation, visit www.ontla.on.ca/li- brary/bills/381/164381.htm.

They are heroes, Durham Regional police say. And 13 were honoured for their bravery and quick thinking with citizen awards at Wednesday’s Regional council meeting. Seven-year-old Kailyn Bruce of Bow- manville stole the show. Last October, after her grandmother fell and broke her hip, Kailyn (then 6) ran to a neighbour’s, who called an ambulance. Sandra Davidson of Pickering was driving last December, when she noticed at the side of the road a confused elderly man, who was obviously wet and cold and wearing only running shoes, sweat pants and a light jacket. Without hesita- tion, Ms. Davidson convinced the man to get in her van with her two children and drove him to the police station. The 87-year-old man had early-onset Alzheimer’s and had gone missing, Dep- uty Chief Piukkala said. After two armed suspects robbed busi- nesses back to back and assaulted clerks in Ajax, Frank Marsh spotted the two and followed them to a nearby house. The pair were arrested after Mr. Marsh called police. Two Oshawa residents, Victor Rabb and Shirely Coppola, were honoured for their actions after a woman’s purse was stolen at a Wal-Mart store last October. Raab tackled a suspect and tried to keep him down. After the man punched and kicked Mr. Raab, Ms. Coppola tried to help, but was also punched, causing her to fall back and break her wrist. The suspect eventually gave up struggling. Glen Evans of Port Perry Auto Glass was honoured for his keen observation: a woman brought a car in, claiming to have hit a deer. Mr. Evans spotted cloth fibres in the broken windshield and called police. The car had hit a high school student the night before, the driver bolting from the scene. An Uxbridge pair were honoured for saving a man’s life. Sandy and Marvin Betz decided to check in on their neigh- bour after he hadn’t been spotted and newspapers piled up at his door. The man had suffered a stroke and was lying face down on the floor, unable to move. Also honoured were Oshawa’s Paul Chamois for helping police find an in- jured man, and Richard Powell for de- fending a student against getting beat- en up by three attackers. John Milroy from Pickering found a missing severely handicapped boy, and Richard Boodoo of Ajax handed over his son’s smuggled handgun and bullets. Wendy Laidlaw of Beaverton helped a young hit-and-run victim, while Mau- reen Wren of Manilla helped police arrest a youth after he stole a police cruiser, and Jordan Milgrom of Missis- sauga alerted police to a sexual predator working at Jungle Cat World in Orono.

NEWS ADVERTISER DURHAM — Ve r idian Corpora- tion has been recognized for its commitment to employee health and safety. The corporation, which supplies power to parts of Clarington, as well as Ajax, Pickering, Port Hope and other areas, received the silver safety award from the Electrical and Utilities Safety Association. The award was presented during the organization’s annual meet- ing. Ve r idian employees have ac- cumulated almost 900,000 hours, or three-and-a-half years worked, without a lost-time accident. “It is very satisfying to see our staff recognized for their dedica- tion to safety,” said Michael Ange- meer, Veridian’s president and CEO. “Achieving this award is truly the result of a team effort, and we have a team that is leading the in- dustry when it comes to accident prevention.” Veridian clinches silver award Dinner, dance all part of the August event at Deer Creek AJAX — Friends and family are hitting the links in order to help a Pickering man get around due to an accident involving an electric shock that left him par- tially paralyzed. The first charity golf tourna- ment for Sean Enright is at the Deer Creek Golf Club on Thurs- day, Aug. 11. In the spring of 2003, Mr. En- right received a severe electrical shock and fell off a 16-foot ladder while attempting to rescue a baby raccoon from a tree. He was paralyzed from the chest down and only has limited use of his arms. The acci- dent left him unable to drive and as a result, it’s difficult to leave his home. The purchase of a van is not affordable at this time for Mr. Enright and his wife Shelley. Proceeds from the tournament are going towards a specially equipped van. The tournament also features a dinner and dance. For the whole package of golf, dinner, and dance, tickets are $200. For just the dinner and dance the cost is $100. To sponsor a hole, the cost is $500. For more information or to register, call Lyn Dunlop at 905- 426-9777.

Sushi & Rolls, brings a taste of Japan to Ajax. Their Sushi and Sashimi combos will please the experienced sushi lover’s palette, while their boxed lunch specials offer a great meal for those a little less adventurous. The box lunch specials are actually served in large wooden boxes with dumplings, shrimp tempura, chicken, salmon or steak teriyaki, miso soup, salad and steamed rice. If you are looking for a lighter fare that will hit the spot, we tried the spicy seafood clear soup, a meal in itself, full of tasty treasures of the sea, succulent scallops, shrimp and lobster amongst hearty noodles in a spicy broth. If authentic sushi and sashimi is what you’re after – look no further, Sushi & Rolls offers a wide selection of sushi (our favou- rites, spicy tuna, spicy salmon), served with sweet potato maki. If you’ve always wondered what Japanese cuisine is all about or if you are a seasoned connoisseur looking for fantastic sushi at reasonable prices, Sushi & Rolls has something for you!

Today, most homeown- ers want to keep their lawn looking green and healthy so it adds beauty to the house and enjoyment to the family. At the same time, people are increasingly aware of the en- vironmental aspects of lawn care. For many, natural or “or- ganic” options seem to be the way to go. However, there is a lot of confusion in the lawn and garden market about exactly what is meant by the terms “Natural” or “Or- ganic”. Let’s take a look at lawn feeding from the plant’s point of view. All plants re- quire 3 major nutrients – ni- trogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potash (K) – to survive. Th e plant cannot distinguish between nutrients from nat- ural fertilizers and nutrients from conventional fertilizers; they perform the same plant functions regardless of their source. Also, a plant takes up only as much nutrients as it needs, whether the source is conventional or organic. Any excess amount can be leached away into the environment. On the extreme “organic” side, cattle manure (for ex- ample) contains less than 1% each of N, P and K.

Higher quality natural fertilizers, however, deliver much more nutrients. One such product is Green Earth 100% Natural Lawn Food. It is guaranteed burn-proof, and provides a balanced diet for your lawn. With modern conventional fertilizers, you can economically provide your lawn the nutrients it needs in an environmentally friend- ly way by using a fertilizer contain- ing Double-Coated Nitrogen. It was developed to help reduce the potential for nitrogen leaching into groundwater. According to Mark Cullen, one of Canada’s leading gardening ex- perts, Double Coated nitrogen is the best way to feed your lawn in an environmentally responsible way. “In a high-end lawn fertilizer such as C-I-L Golfgreen, the nitrogen is Double-Coated to release slowly, giving your lawn only the amount it needs, over an extended period of time. Th is makes your lawn green- er, longer and provides continuous feeding for 2 months.” Th e key to maintaining a healthy, environmentally friendly lawn is in providing it with just the right amount of nutrients for healthy growth, without over-fertilizing. You can achieve this with either “a ll-natural” or “conventional” fer- tilizers. For more information, visit www.cil.nu-gro.ca. - News Canada Organic or conventional fertilizer?

Serving Durham Region Since 1987 PICKERING 905-683-4477 OSHAWA 905-571-2377 PORT PERRY 905-985-4484 (NC)—Just follow these 5 easy steps to keep your lawn at its best: 1. Start with a good soil preparation. If you’re start- ing a new lawn, you’ll never regret the investment you make now in improving the soil. Grass grows best in a well-drained blend of topsoil, sand and organic matter several inches deep. Remove any hard packed patches and rake out old thatch to allow the grass to “breathe”. Top up with a specially formulated soil for lawns such as C-I-L Triple Mix Plus. It contains com- posted manure, peat, as well as fertilizer for improved root development. 2. Overseed your lawn every year. Mark Cullen, one of Canada’s leading garden- ing experts, recommends over-seeding your lawn each spring with a quality grass seed. “I do this every spring to help fi ll in bare spots in my lawn. Overseeding helps reduce weeds too.” 3. Fertilize 4 times ev- ery year. Many people only fertilize their lawn in the spring, however your lawn needs a steady supply of nutrients throughout the season to stay green and healthy. In particular, don’t forget the fall fertilizer ap- plication. It’s one of the most important feedings. Cullen recommends apply- ing fall fertilizer in Septem- ber or October to strength- en your lawn over winter and give it a jump start in the spring. 4. Control broadleaf weeds. Weeds compete with grass for soil nutrients... and they usually win. If your lawn only has a few weeds, you can pull then by hand. But if your lawn is over-run with weeds, then Cullen recommends an application of Lawn WeedOut in May, June or September to bring weeds under control. 5. Control insects. White grubs, chinch bugs, leather- jackets, ants and many com- mon insects could destroy your lawn if conditions favour them. If necessary, apply a lawn insect control product such as GrubOut.

A/P PAGE 10 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 3, 2005 durhamregion.com DURHAM — Five Durham youths will spend this summer brushing up on their French and learning about another part of Canada, when they trade places with students from Saint-Hya- cinthe, Quebec. The six-week switch is part of the Summer Work-Student Ex- change (SWSE) program, which places students in full-time jobs with non-profit companies, dur- ing their exchange. “I wanted to have the opportu- nity to travel to a place I’ve never seen before, in order to observe things that can only be seen once in a lifetime,” said Maegan Fon- tyn, 16, of Courtice. Program coordinators in Que- bec will plan weekend trips for the Durham students, while local families will host five Franco- phone youths and plan activi- ties for them, with the assis- tance of Club Canadien Francais d’Oshawa. The SWSE is currently cel- ebrating its tenth anniversary, after being founded in 1996 by Denis Paradis. The program is administered by the Canadian Unity Council at no cost to stu- dents. This summer, 1,200 stu- dents from across Canada will have the opportunity to improve their second official language, gain work experience, and live in another part of Canada. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 3, 2005 PAGE 21 A/P AUTO TINTING & ACCESSORIES THIS WEEKTHIS WEEK AFTER MARKET BODY PARTS Distributors of after market body parts, paint, and body supplies. 334 Westney Rd.

Citing a lack of chemistry, the Vi ce President of Motorsports, Richie Gilmore, switched one team with the other. All the Chevrolets registered to the Dale Earnhardt Jr. domain were rolled over to the Michael Waltrip domain, and vice-versa. The personnel switched places. They even swapped their scanner frequencies. For 11 races, Earnhardt Jr. kept saying there were bound to be a few growing pains and that he thought the world of his new crew chief, Pete Rondeau, and that good times were coming. Nothing like a vote of confidence, particularly one that is repeated almost every week. Rondeau’s out, and guess what Gilmore had to say about it? “...there wasn’t enough chemistry there...” They made the swap because of chemistry, and they undid it because of chemistry. What is this chemistry? Apparently it’s not unlike the highschool class that unwittingly stumbles upon the formula for gunpowder. “Me and Pete were real, real good friends, still are great friends. I thought a lot of him and we got along really well, but we didn’t really click on the radio on Sunday,” said Earnhardt Jr. “During practice, we struggled a little bit, and, so, I Andrea Kjerrumgaard/NASCAR This Week Steve Hmiel, center, the new crew chief for Dale Earnhardt Jr., right, talks strategy in the garage area during qualifying for th e Coca-Cola 600. want to find somebody who is a good match for me as far as my terminology or whatever it takes where we can get our cars where we’re running fast.” DEI took a team (i.e., Junior s) that finished fifth in the 2004 Nextel Cup points standings and swapped it with the team that finished 20th. The better team got worse and the worse team got better. So now Steve Hmiel, a distinguished crew chief with decades of experience, is being put in the breach. He was the technical director, which isn’t as important as vice president of motorsports, but it’s up there. Now he gets to be the lefty in from the pen, summoned to pitch his way out of a jam. “They had a different methodology than how I would’ve done things, said Hmiel. “I want it to be an open book. I want the two teams to use all their assets to work together.” Since that sounded a little like Hmiel was a political candidate saying he was against crime and the other guy was for it, he quickly added, “Pete wasn’t against that. It just wasn’t where we were as a company.” Earnhardt Jr. then shared where he wanted them to be as a company. “I feel like this company is on the brink of being a full success,” he said humbly. We’ve never really had a grasp of being a dominant team. That’s always been just around the corner from going to all the tracks and having a good-driving car every week.” Lindsay from AJAX My kind of summer fun? cool clothes great shopping ice cream cones ✓ Need help getting it done?

PICKERING — The Pick- ering Legion has a few events on tap to honour veterans this spring. The Bay Ridges Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion hosted its fourth annual charity walk Saturday. “It’s for veterans’ care and that’s what the legion is all about,” said Kathy Freder- ick, branch secretary and special events co-ordinator. The money raised goes to the Tony Stacey Centre for veterans care, located in Toronto. The next event is Sunday, June 5. The annual D-Day parade begins at 2:30 p.m. It goes from the Pickering Recreation Complex, 1867 Valley Farm Rd., to the Pick- ering Civic Complex. “I would encourage (peo- ple) to come to the parade and honour our veterans,” Ms. Frederick said. “This is a celebration of their sacri- fices.” Following the parade, a special flag is going to be raised at the Civic Complex to recognize 2005 as the year of the veteran; it will fly until the end of the year. The parade is followed by a memories dinner and dance. The dinner starts be- tween 5 and 5:30 p.m. and is $8. Those interested in at- tending the ’40s themed event are asked to RSVP by June 2.

Durham families benefit from provincial grant By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — The future of a provincial group with local roots is more secure thanks to a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foun- dation. Fa milies for a Secure Future received $289,000 recently, with the money to be spread over five years. Judith McGill, the group’s pro- vincial co-ordinator, said it felt amazing to learn of the grant. The group submitted three ap- plications before the last one was approved and it had been with- out funding for a year. “They would have continued to suffer (without the funding),” she said. Fa milies for a Secure Future serves adults with development disabilities and assists them in taking up full citizenship in the community. It is based on build- ing networks of support for both individuals and families. Families get to know one an- other and share their experience of what it’s like to have an adult son or daughter with a learning disability, Ms. McGill said. One of those networks is Families for Quality Life in Pickering, which was founded before the provin- cial group. Angela Mosquera and her son Juan have been members of that family group for nine years — there is another in Pickering and one in Whitby. They joined after he finished high school. “Me and my mom didn’t know where to go for me,” said Mr. Mosquera, who has attention deficit and hyperactivity disor- der. The Mosqueras meet with seven other families in Pickering and a facilitator — each group is assigned one to act as a re- source. “It’s very helpful. I feel very happy and secure with them,” she said. “I learn a lot because every situation and family is dif- ferent.” Mr. Mosquera, a founding board member of Families for a Secure Future, said he also ben- efits from the group. “It’s given me a chance to be a facilitator in the community,” he said. “It’s been really good for me.” He understands how hard the group worked to get the Trillium grant and how important it is. “It was a relief to find out we got some funding,” Mr. Mosquera said. “We can help the commu- nity (with it).” Ms. McGill said the money will go to hiring another facilitator in order to offer the group to more people. “It allows us to stabilize our staffing so we can strengthen our groups and expand,” she said, adding they want to expand to north Durham.

NEWS ADVERTISER Unique way to help kids express feelings By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — Students at Osha- wa’s Glen Street Public School are putting a cap on anger — literally. In the crowded schoolyard, it’s not difficult to pick out the bright red baseball caps that quietly recognize those who have completed Dur- ham’s newest anger management program, and in the classroom it’s even easier to spot the graduates. “They really use the skills they learn in the program. They’re able to express how they’re feeling and change the way they react to situ- ations,” says vice-principal Alison Gilmour. “The difference is amaz- ing.” Oshawa is only the second com- munity in Ontario to offer the Red Cap anger management program, launched by the Toronto Salvation Army last year. Aimed at students in grades 4 to 8, it helps children recognize emotions, while teaching conflict resolution, relaxation and rational thinking. “It’s a very unique program, be- cause it recognizes that children need to learn these skills at a young age and carry them into their adult life,” explains Denise Handy, a proj- ect director with the Oshawa Salva- tion Army. “As they get older and their problems become more com- plex, they will have a better footing to deal with them.” At Glen Street P.S., participants meet once a week over their lunch hour for crafts, games, sports and role-playing. During one activity, students share situations that made them angry, while holding up double-sided car- toon illustrations. Each card bears a scowling face with the word “anger” on one side, and depicts another emotion — jealously, sadness, or loneliness — on the other. “They learn that anger is a sec- ondary emotion, it never happens in isolation,” Ms. Handy says. “If they can recognize the first emotion and talk about it, they can prevent the anger from happening.” Volunteer Wendy Underwood says tackling the physical aspects of anger is also important. In addi- tion to practising deep breathing, visualization and other relaxation techniques, the students learn to identify how their body changes, before an angry outburst. “We have them do a little work- out to get their heart rate up, be- cause that’s the same thing that hap- pens when they start to get angry,” she says. “If they are in tune with their bodies, they can recognize that feeling and try to relax, before it gets out of control.” After completing the two-month program, students take home the coveted red cap, as well as a DVD documenting their participation, and a stress-relief kit. Silly Putty to squish, bubbles to regulate their breathing, stuffed animals to cud- dle, a journal to record their feelings in, and tissues in case they need to cry, are just a few of the items in the well stocked kit. Glen Street P.S. is poised to ex- pand the program to grades 7 and 8 students next year, and organizers are also looking at branching out to other Durham schools. Ms. Handy stresses that commu- nity support is vital to the program’s continued success, noting that local sponsors are needed to provide lunches and help fund the cost of materials and red caps.

Page 37 Vo llmer hopes to be in fast lane with swimming Pioneers Ajax teen signs on for athletic scholarship at the University of Denver By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — For Dan Vollmer, knowing his scholarship is signed, sealed and delivered is a load off his mind. The 18-year-old Ajax resident and longtime member of the Ajax Aquatic Club signed his letter of intent to attend the University of Denver on a four-year athletic scholarship. “I’m definitely relieved,” says the lanky swimmer, who’ll compete in the backstroke and individual medley events for the Pioneers, which compete in the NCAA Divi- sion I Sun Belt Conference (SBC). “I was originally looking at Cana- dian schools like Queen’s, McGill and Western but, at the beginning of the year, I started looking at the States. He notes it will be hard to leave the Ajax Aquatic Club, where he’s trained for the past 12 years but, by the same token he’s ready to move on to new challenges. “I know everybody there (at the Ajax club), so I’m a little upset (to move on), but I’m looking forward to starting new in Denver,” he says. Vollmer received some interest from the College of Charleston in South Carolina and Texas A&M but, for various reasons, Denver was the best fit. “I looked at these schools, but they weren’t exactly what I want- ed,” he explained in a recent in- terview before practice at the Ajax Community Centre. “The College of Charleston didn’t have the best swim team around and Texas A&M was a big school and I wanted to go to a smaller one. The courses didn’t meet my needs there either.” Upon visiting Denver last March, however, the pieces began to fall into place. “I contacted them and I re- searched the school and it looked pretty good,” says Vollmer, who’ll study international studies and lan- guages in Colorado. “After looking at it and talking to the coaches, I was offered a scholarship. I went there and I liked it right away. It was right by the mountains, so it was beautiful. I liked the swim team — the athletes, coaches and staff. It was exactly what I was looking for.” Although the University of Den- ver is a noted hotbed for men’s hockey, having won the national championship for the past two years, Vollmer acknowledges the swim team has a ways to go in order to match that stature as it’s currently in a rebuilding phase. Last season, the club finished sec- ond behind Western Kentucky at the SBC championships in Febru- ary. “They’re starting to rebuild the program and its starting to get a lot faster than it was,” he explains. “I know I’ll be part of the rebuilding, but I’m fine with that.” Vollmer has become a consistent performer on the national stage, earning a sixth-place standing in the 100-metre backstroke at last November’s nationals. His other specialties are the 50m back and the 200m individual medley. And, he expects the Denver pro- gram under the guidance of head coach Jim Henry, to be able to reach even faster times. “It looks like a good program, so it will definitely help me on my way,” say Vollmer, a graduate of Dunbarton High School. Vollmer gives full credit to the Ajax club, especially head coach Trent McNicol, for helping him achieve a scholarship. As some- one who attended the University of Mar yland on a swimming scholar- ship, McNicol was an invaluable resource. “I’ve been swimming at the same club for 12 yeas and having Trent (as the head coach) pretty much the whole time has been a positive experience,” says Vollmer. “I talked to Trent about his experiences in the States, what to look for and what to stay away from. He’s like a sounding board for the swimmers.” Vo llmer says he’ll continue to train in and out of the pool during the summer, shutting it down for a period in August before heading to Denver in early September. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Ajax Aquatic Club’s Dan Vollmer is headed to the University of Denver this fall on an athletic scholarship. The 18-year-old backstroke and individual medley specialist hopes to improve his times while swimming with the Pioneers of the Sun Belt Conference. (The campus) ‘was right by the mountains, so it was beautiful. I liked the swim team — the athletes, coaches and staff. It was exactly what I was looking for.’ DAN VOLLMER Notre Dame soccer girls split pair at OFSAA Cougars blank Loyola, lose to second-seeded Catholic Central AJAX — The Notre Dame Cougars senior girls’ soccer team finished its opening day of action at the provincial high school championships with a .500 record. The Ajax Catholic school team is the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) rep- resentative at the 16-team 2005 Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) ‘AAAA’ championships in Ham- ilton, which got underway yes- terday (Thursday). Unseeded Notre Dame (9- 2 coming into OFSAA) opened play with an emphatic 3-0 vic- tory over eighth-seeded Loyola Catholic Secondary School War- riors (9-3 pre-OFSAA) of Missis- sauga, played at Mohawk Col- lege on Thursday morning. Kierra Metcalfe, Latoya Smith and Stephanie Moss scored for the Cougars. The Cougars met up with a formidable foe in Game 2 in the form of second-seeded Catholic Central High School Crusaders of London (11-0-1 overall). Notre Dame dropped a 2-0 decision at the Mohawk fields. The London squad’s victory im- proved their OFSAA record to 2-0. Daniella D’Oria scored both goals for the Crusaders. The Cougars continue pool play today (Friday) against St. Anne High School Saints (12- 0 pre-OFSAA) from Tecumseh, which also sported a 1-1 record at the end of Thursday. A loss versus St. Anne would eliminate Notre Dame from a playoff spot. The top two teams in each of the four pools ad- vance to the quarter-finals. The OFSAA semifinals are Sat- urday morning, followed by the bronze- and gold-medal games, at 1 and 3 p.m., respectively. Notre Dame won the LOSSA title by knocking off favoured Dunbarton High School 1-0 in the Durham Region final last week in Whitby. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 3, 2005 PAGE 31 A/P Carrier’s of The Week If you did not receive your News Advertiser/flyers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at (905) 683-5117.

Ajax Strikers zap soccer foes for titles AJAX — The Ajax Strikers under-11 boys’ rep soccer team struck for two tournament crowns to open the outdoor season. Last weekend, the Strikers cap- tured the title at the ‘Simply the Best’ under-11 boys’ tournament in Markham. Earlier last month, the Ajax under-11s laid claim to the West Niagara Invitational title. The Markham final was an all- Durham affair, with Ajax facing neighbouring Pickering Cougars, winning 3–0 on goals by Matthew Guerriero, Maleik De Freitas and Le Shaun Young. The Strikers won the four games leading up to the final. Meanwhile, at West Niaga- ra, Ajax went undefeated in six games scoring 27 goals and giving up one. In the final, the Strikers grounded the Waterloo Hawks 4– 0. Tomas Giannotta scored twice; Guerriero and Luca Gasparotto added singles. Other team members are Ben Cowman, Xavier Anderson- Scott, Dylan Cherry, Roman Bo- hulevych, Kyle Crichton, Jordan Dover, Lequane Gray, Brandon John, Jordano Medoro and Nich- olas Palmer.
