They also requested the provision of necessary funding to address the geese concern that municipalities with public water- front green spaces face. Council approved the motion, and a copy of the resolution is being sent to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and Region of Durham, asking for endorsement. The Gov- ernment of Canada, Natural Re- sources Canada and Wildlife Can- ada are among a number of others it will be sent to. “We’re restricted as to what we can do legally,” Coun. McLean said in reference to restrictions implemented by upper tier gov- ernments. “We have to get the Province and the Feds to admit there’s a problem and assist us in giving us the tools to rectify the problem,” he said.

She said she didn’t want to endorse something when she didn’t know what the actual action would entail. “Humans develop the waterfront, take away their natural habitat and build up,” she said. Coun. McLean assured Coun. O’Connell “we’ll do it in a humane fashion where we’re not killing them off.” Coun. Dickerson said a difficult part of managing the geese is getting people to quit feed- ing them. He said the birds aren’t stupid, and if people continue feeding them, “they’re going to stick around.” Coun. McLean said feeding them does not help the geese either, since bread bloats their stomachs and is not good for the digestive system. He stated a number of facts about geese: the av- erage adult goose eats up to four pounds of grass daily and drops two pounds of fecal matter a day; they live up to 24 years; the population increases 10 to 17 per cent annually; and, they mate for life. Coun. McLean also said besides E. coli and the other health problems geese fecal matter causes, it also makes walkways slippery. He also men- tioned the danger geese on the roads cause for drivers, since most automatically slam on their breaks when one wanders across the road. Other municipalities, such as Ajax, participated in the province-wide goose roundup, but Coun. McLean explained Pickering submitted its appli- cation too late. “We certainly look forward to being recognized to participate next year,” he said. durhamregion.comP PAGE 4 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 29, 2007 1163 Kingston Road in Pickering 905-839-5425 Summer FunSummer Fun Photo Contest Photo ContestSummer FunSummer Fun Photo Contest Photo Contest $100 Gift$100 Gift CertificateCertificate $100 Gift$100 Gift CertificateCertificate You Are AYou Are A Winner!Winner!

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 29, 2007 durhamregion.com B ig leaguer huge fan of volunteers B eing an instructor himself of many baseball players who’ve come through his Home Run Acade- my facility has given Ajax’s own Major League Baseball player, Nigel Wilson, a unique perspective. Teaching young ball players the finer points of the game has given him a new- found appreciation of how important volunteers are to the whole process of developing not only baseball players as they move up the ranks, but also good citizens. Wilson is a product of the Ajax Spar- tans Minor Baseball Association, having played rep ball up the ladder in town. The talented outfielder later moved through the Toronto Blue Jays’ minor league system before being the first- ever player drafted by the Florida Mar- lins in the expansion draft also involv- ing the Colorado Rockies in 1992. He later played with the Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds before leaving for Japan, where he established himself as the Home Run King in 1997 with the Nippon Ham Fighters in the Japanese Pacific League. Back in Ajax and running his suc- cessful facility with partner and former Blue Jay Rob Butler, Wilson took time to reflect on who’s had the biggest effect on his 11-year career. His answer? The volunteer coaches who helped him grow into the calibre of player he eventually became. “Local coaches do a great job with the kids,” notes Wilson, who’ll be a guest in- structor with the Duane Ward Baseball Clinic coming to Whitby’s Iroquois Park this summer. “All coaches volunteer their time and you have to give it up to those coaches. They volunteer their time be- cause they love the game and they want to teach the kids the right way to play. At the end of the day, if no one volunteered their time for me, I wouldn’t have been a professional baseball player. I think that’s the greatest thing in the world.” He notes that, too often, volunteer coaches deserve more respect than they receive as they selflessly put forth their time, energy and expertise toward the benefit of all involved. “Whether they have a son or daugh- ter on the team or not they come out. Coaches take a lot of grief. I go to the games and I see that,” he noted. Wilson, without hesitation, said Harry Yetman, who coached him in rep ball between the ages of 11 and 15, was his favourite coach among the many who aided in his development over his years with the Spartans. “He was a really smart man, very fair, a great coach,” says Wilson of his former baseball mentor. “He was one of the biggest reasons that I ended up where I am.” Sports Editor Al Rivett’s column ap- pears every third Friday. E-mail him at arivett@durhamregion.com Al Rivett sports editor LETTER TO THE EDITOR B an, restrictions should be followed For some residents the urge to water anything and every- thing is too great this time of year. You see it everywhere, homeowners pulling out their sprinklers and leaving the hose running for hours. Then there are others who enjoy standing in their driveways hosing every speck of sand, every blade of grass, anything at all down to the sewer. These habits have been passed down from generation to generation but now it’s time they dried up for good. Simply put -- we’re wasting too much water. On Tuesday the Regional Works Department issued an out- right ban on outdoor water use in Uxbridge, Scugog and Brock. That includes lawn watering and car washing. In Oshawa, Whitby, Brooklin, Courtice, Bowmanville, Newcastle and New- tonville, residents are asked to make an effort to conserve water. Ajax and Pickering residents already appear to be doing their part to conserve, but can’t rest on their laurels. This isn’t anything new. In fact every summer in recent memory GTA municipalities have implemented water bans to preserve water supplies. But implementing a ban and having people obey it are two different things. For some the thought of running out of water seems ridiculous. After all we live right next to Lake Ontario. But our water reservoir levels have to be at a minimum level, and if they fall below that there is a serious threat we would not have enough water pressure in the event of an emergency such as fighting a house fire. The Region reports that in the summer months, water de- mand can be 50 to 80 per cent higher than average, primarily due to lawn watering. This is ridiculous considering lawns go dormant at this time of year and bounce back everywhere once the rains begin to fall again in late summer. For those living in areas under a water ban, please follow it. In extreme cases of non-compliance, the Region’s works com- missioner has the authority to turn residents’ water off. For everyone else in the Region a little common sense will go a long way to saving us the water we need so badly at this time of year. Parents can’t pass the buck To the editor: Re: June 20 Neil Crone column, ‘Parents must own up to re- sponsibilities’. I so agree with every word he said and feel I should add my voice to his! When I brought our four children into this world I did so with the understanding that it was my responsibility to see to their well-being and turn them into good, caring adults, at the same time as being a stay-at-home wife and mother. My needs were put aside in favour of them and I do not regret one moment of it. For 18 years I have also looked after my grandsons while our youngest daughter and her husband work. I did not expect society to pay me to look out for my children and if anything went wrong we didn’t blame anybody else. We gave them the tough love upbringing and they did not have everything they wanted. They were taught to be respectful and thoughtful to others, we opened their eyes to the world around them, and they were never allowed to litter, chase animals and certainly never to refer to an adult by their first name. I’m sure there were a few things we could have done better, especially when one of the four decided to go off the rails a few times. No child is perfect, no matter how well brought up or educated, but one does not lay the blame elsewhere instead of accepting responsibility for their children’s actions. I am so sick of hearing these parents today who do just that! It is hard work but great rewards can be had if it’s done right by you and not others! Jill Mills Ajax A more reflective title could be considered within a year By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Only six years after the Universi- ty of Ontario Institute of Technology’s inception, a name change is up for dis- cussion. Ronald Bordessa, UOIT’s president, told the board of governor’s at their June 13 meeting that during talks with the Min- istry of Training, Colleges, and Universities there has been discussion of a name more reflective of what the school does. In his president’s report to UOIT’s board, Mr. Bord- essa said the potential name change has come up during various discussions w ith the minister and it’s something he’s willing to look into. “The current name is confusing and I think, in fact, turns away potential students,” said Mr. Bord- essa in an interview. The Ontario University of Science and Technology is one possibility for a new name, said Mr. Bordessa. He added it’s fair to say the minister sees science and technology as the core business of the university and supports a name to reflect those things. “I did float a simplifica- tion of the name we have now, the University of Ontario, but it sunk like a stone,” said Mr. Bord- essa smiling. He said the comment was made jok- ingly because attaching the University of Ontario to the school’s name has always been an issue of contention among other universities. Mr. Bordessa says rea- sons for a name change include the confusion caused by the term insti- tute of technology; it has a different meaning in the U.S. than in Canada. In the U.S., institute of technology represents a research intensive institu- tion, but Canada’s are a notch below. Even schools such as Humber College are bringing institution of technology into their names, as well as other universities which may not have doctorate or graduate programs, as UOIT does. The name institute of technology could be standing in the way of at- tracting the high calibre of students UOIT is looking for, said Mr. Bordessa. It also creates confusion in the minds of applicants, especially internationally, he added. Mr. Bordessa said he feels there is an opportu- nity to have a name that betters illustrates the ob- jectives of the UOIT act, which includes graduating students in career-orient- ed programs. Any poten- tial name change would need the approval of the board of governors before being submitted to the ministry. “If we were to change our name, there would be costs associated,” said Mr. Bordessa, adding money was recently spent on branding the school as UOIT. The board will have to weigh the value of a name change and look at it from a long-term perspective, he added. Mr. Bordessa said he hopes the question of a new name can be settled within a year.

By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Durham Col- lege is keeping its lips sealed about ancillary fees, in light of a student lawsuit launched against the Province and On- tario’s colleges. In response to reports that the ministry of training, col- leges and universities has ordered Ontario colleges to stop charging unauthorized ancillary fees, Durham Col- lege spokeswoman Allison Rosnak said the school’s po- sition is they’re not going to comment because the matter is before the courts. Two students, neither from Durham College, recently launched a $200-million class action lawsuit against the Province and Ontario’s community colleges, claim- ing they were charged some prohibited ancillary fees dur- ing the tuition freeze. Chris Bentley, the Minister of Train- ing, Colleges, and Universi- ties, made a statement shortly after. “The minister’s statement, which was on the record, the minister has issued directives in the past and he expects them to be complied with,” said Sheamus Murphy, press secretary to the minister. As for what fees fall within those directives, he wouldn’t comment. “I really can’t get into it as I mentioned,” said Mr. Mur- phy, citing the lawsuit as the reason why. A copy of the minister’s policy directive on ancillary fees, issued April 1, 2003 and revised July 24, 2006, says compulsory fees have to be explained to students so they understand their purpose, as well as materials, services, or facilities available through them. Some compulsory an- cillary fees can be increased or added through protocol approved by the school’s ad- ministration, student govern- ment representatives, and board of governors. According to the policy, ancillary fees are for “items not covered by the tuition fees established for a course or program of instruction that students may be required to pay upon enrolment... Com- pulsory ancillary fees are an- cillary fees that a student is required to pay in order to enrol in or successfully com- plete any course or program of instruction eligible for gen- eral purpose operating grant support.” The categories of ancillary fees are in the operating pro- cedure Tuition and Ancillary Fees Reporting, which was not accessible to This Week by press time. Fraser McArthur, student association president for Durham College, UOIT and Trent in Oshawa, said the lawsuit peaked his interest. The student association will be keeping its eye on the issue because of its potential impact on college students throughout Ontario. So far, they’ve had no real discus- sion on it and are just follow- ing the news as it develops. “As of yet, there hasn’t been much mention on the student side,” said Mr. McArthur. At the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Don- ald Wallace, associate provost of policy and planning, hasn’t heard of anything coming forth for universities. “It sort of caught us all out of left field,” said Mr. Wallace, and added the tuition freeze was almost two years ago. The issue for them is naturally to go back and see if there are any implications for UOIT, he said. Mr. Wallace added the school is constantly looking at its fee structure within the Province’s regulations. He said there are three categories for fees, all regulated: basic tuition, compulsory ancillary fees, and others, which are usually for student organiza- tions and often have to go through student government or a referendum to be im- posed. Items such as laptops are an ancillary fee because they’re an extra service and students get something physical – the same as with a textbook. Asking what would happen without ancillary fees isn’t really a fair question, said Mr. Wallace, and said it’s like asking what would hap- pen without the GST.

The Canadian Aviation Expo was held at the Oshawa Munici- pal Airport and the annual event once again attracted thousands of pilots, hobbyists and families. “You can come to this one place and if it’s about general aviation it’s here,” said John Green, director of flight operations for the expo. “It gives a lot of pilots the oppor- tunity to come together, fly their airplanes in the same place, chat with each other and share the ex- perience.” Pilots had the option to test fly and even purchase a number of airplanes that were on display at the event and non-flyers could get into the act by chartering rides in planes and helicopters. Steve Nichols, a partner in the event, was pleased to give fellow flying enthusiasts an enjoyable weekend. “It really gives them a full op- portunity to experience aviation,” he said. “We have everything that’s re- lated to the requirements of flying, from parts to services.” Aviation companies also came out in force for the event. Breitling was on hand with its collection of aviation watches and Cirrus De- sign Corporation was present to display some of its airplanes. Floyd Gutowski, regional sales manager for the company, was eager to grow local interest in avia- tion. “We had a young lady come by today, and her background was such that people were advising her that women don’t become pilots. She came here and learned a bit otherwise and we gave her the opportunity to fly with us as a ride- along, so she could have some ex- perience in the airplane. “Aviation needs more people to become pilots,” he continued. “At one time the pilot base was quite a bit stronger than it is now. It’s narrowing. We need more people to help it grow.” The expo celebrated its sixth year in Oshawa and the City has welcomed the event with open arms. “It’s a great home,” said Mr. Green. “The City is very accom- modating and supportive of the show. “They understand the show is good for the airport and there’s a very clear understanding that the airport is good for the city. The airport is very important to the economy and the show is an important factor in supporting the airport.” The event was well-attended and the weather co-operated to create a good event. “It’s not a lu- crative thing, we do it because we love flying,” said Mr. Nichols. “It’s been successful and it’s been fun.” Bonnie & Christopher Buckler Learn to Swim Lessons offered 6 months – adults Class times 9 am - 9 pm 7 days a week Toronto 416.281.3815 821 Brock Rd.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 29, 2007 PAGE 15 A/Pdurhamregion.com durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 16 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 29, 2007 By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — As the University of On- tario Institute of Technology grows on its shared campus with Durham College, some changes could be coming with its maturity. From a proposal to have separate chair- men for their boards of governors, to com- pleting sharing agreements, and possibly even changing UOIT’s name, those involved with the schools say the discussions are all part of a healthy evolution and not an indi- cation they’re moving further apart. “There was always a possibility that as both institutions matured they would re- think aspects of their governance model,” said Gary Polonsky, former college presi- dent and founding president of UOIT. Mr. Polonsky retired last year as presi- dent of both schools and was replaced by Leah Myers at DC and Ronald Bordessa at UOIT. Each school has its own board of gover- nors, but they meet together. The boards share one chairman, one vice chairman, and six common members. At a recent meeting, Mr. Bordessa pre- sented a nine-page discussion paper on governance at UOIT and why he wants two chairmen instead of one. The issue will be discussed during the boards’ October re- treat, while the presidents and staff work on completing their sharing agreement over the summer. Discussions about separating the boards’ chairmen and flushing out the sharing agreements raised some red flags for Can- ada’s finance minister Jim Flaherty, who was Ontario’s finance minister when the Province approved UOIT. “I think there are two issues here I would be concerned about,” said Mr. Flaherty. “One is efficiency and the other is co-op- eration.” The foundation of UOIT’s creation was being efficient in the shared campus with respect to people and infrastructure. A structural change in the governance format doesn’t mean that won’t happen, but the schools should safeguard against moving away from that, added the minis- ter. When UOIT was proposed, it was unique to have a college and university share a campus, as the partnership also allowed students an opportunity to move between campuses. At the time of its creation, no consideration was given to the schools pull- ing apart, he said. “The emphasis six years ago was on the advantages of having a university and col- lege share a campus, not on having them pull away from each other.” In a 2004 news story, then-Ontario fi- nance minister Mr. Flaherty said one of the selling points for the university was it could be more efficient in its operating costs. One of the set conditions of its establish- ment was receiving less provincial operat- ing funds. Now, he notes it may well be a good thing for the board to have two chairmen, but they need to safeguard the efficiencies and free flow of students between the two institutions. Mr. Bordessa said two chairmen would bring advantages to both schools because each would have a dedicated person to deal with their business. He brought up the issue now considering the school’s maturity and the more stringent, demanding roles boards of governors play now. “It’s quite onerous to be the chair of both I think,” said Mr. Bordessa. Ms. Myers views the discussions as a “natural evolution.” She hopes to make progress on the shar- ing agreement by the end of summer. Ac- ademic partnerships will be among the things discussed in the agreement, such as bridging partnerships, opportunities to col- laborate on research projects and more. “I think part of the trickery of establish- ing these agreements is getting the details right in a way that’s going to be good in the long and short term for both institutions,” said Ms. Myers. “It’s not so much about extra costs, it’s about how we share costs.” The benefits are in having some clarity around who pays for what, who owns what, so they can better focus on their academic mission, she added. Garry Cubitt held the shared chairman’s position three years ago, the first year UOIT students arrived on campus. “It was very time consuming and lots of extra meetings,” said Mr. Cubitt. “It was very rare.” His role included attending many meet- ings with the Province and ministries re- garding financial operations, construction progress, and the approval of UOIT degree programs. The chairman’s position also included lots of everyday work, such as developing agendas, reporting back to the board, work- ing closely with the school president, being a figurehead of the governors, and sitting on every subcommittee. He spent a year in the role because it was the end of his six-year term on the DC board of governors, but he probably would have stepped down anyway; the volunteer role requires a big time commitment, he said. Outgoing chairman Pat McNeil is step- ping down because he has a very active job and is busy in the community. The chairman’s workload over the last five years has been very high and where it could go in the future needs to be looked at, said Mr. McNeil. “There could be a big workload and that’s something we need to address.” With two separate presidents for the schools, it’s nor- mal now for them to look at having separate chairmen, he agreed. “Healthy boards constantly review how they govern their boards. It shouldn’t give an impression of moving apart,” he said, adding they’re both working for the interest of students. Having one chairman worked in Mr. Cubitt’s time, but he notes now both in- stitutions have evolved and the proposal requires respectful consideration. “I see this all as a sign of strength,” he said, adding it’s a natural evolution for the institution to be doing this - even at looking at UOIT’s name. “I see all of these things as positive things,” said Mr. Cubitt, and not as UOIT saying it doesn’t like the partnership. “I don’t read negative things into that; I think that’s a positive.” Whether the boards will start meeting on separate dates if two chairmen are ap- proved is too early to predict, said Mr. Mc- Neil. In Mr. Bordessa’s discussion paper, his view is eventually UOIT won’t be able to share an evening with another board’s agenda because the issues it faces in the future will be complex and plentiful. He added that issue has nothing to do with the chairing of committees. The letter states there are some college and university board members “who are deeply convinced that moving to two chairs is moving away from the vision” for the school. Mr. Bordessa said the vision and its re- lationship to governance has its origins in DC’s board of governors. A grand vision was painted during UOIT’s creation, but nothing definitive was recorded in writing VOICES ‘It’s not so much about extra costs, it’s about how we share costs.’ Leah Myers President, DC ‘It just made common sense that one board chair could serve both institutions’ needs at that time.’ Gary Polonsky Past-president, UOIT & DC ‘It’s quite onerous to be the chair of both I think.’ Ronald Bordessa President, UOIT ‘I think there are two issues here I would be concerned about.

It’s the only planet with a Black Dog Pub! Want to do something to stop global warming? Here are 10 simple things you can do and how much carbon dioxide you will save doing them. Change a light:Replace one regular bulb with a compact fl uorescent light will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. Drive less: Walk, bike, carpool or take metro transit more often. You’ll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don’t drive. Recycle more: You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste. Check your tires: Keeping your tires infl ated properly can improve your gas mileage by more than 3%. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Use less hot water: It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low-fl ow showerhead (350 pounds of CO2 saved per year and washing your clothes in cold water will save 500 pounds per year). Avoid products with over packaging:You can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%. Plant a tree: A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. Adjust your thermostat: Moving your thermostat down just 2 degrees in winter and 2 degrees up in summer will save about 2,000 of carbon dioxide per year. Turn off electric devices: Simply turn off your television, DVD player, stereo and computer when you’re not using them will save thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide per year.

In his conclusion, Mr. Bordessa said the prospects for both institutions will be brighter if each has its own chair- man uncompromised by “dual formal loyalty” in their responsibility. When UOIT began, its eventual move toward two separate chairmen was considered, said Mr. Polonsky. In 2001, when it was announced UOIT would be starting in two years, the university relied heavily on the col- lege. For 13 months, UOIT was not a legal entity and could not hire people or buy land, requiring help from DC. “It just made common sense that one board chair could serve both in- stitutions’ needs at that time,” said Mr. Polonsky. Changes to the sharing agreement were also anticipated because there were no buildings, staff or students there. Mr. Bordessa said the current shar- ing agreement has been in place since 2004 and deals with the sharing of property and some services. “Things have changed,” said Mr. Bordessa. The existing agreement is not nec- essarily the most efficient to recog- nize the nature of both institutions, he added. The sharing agreement deals with land and building ownership, gradu- ate bridging between the schools, and employees. Currently, there is a “question mark” as to who owns the buildings, said Mr. Bordessa. Through the agreement, he also wants to work on adding advan- tages for UOIT students who want to go to DC, and look at how employees are shared. When the school began, many of its shared services were filled by DC staff. Five years later, he said they have to examine if that should continue, or if UOIT should have its own employees. Mr. Polonsky added he has no vi- sions of partnerships coming undone and sees an opportunity now that will strengthen sharing opportunities, maintaining that sharing between the two institutions is firm and profound. “I believe it will last forever regard- less of what decisions the board makes on the number of chairs.” Former president sees sharing opportunities being strengthened ✦ Former from page 16 Local providers hope to see similar promises from other parties By Jennifer Stone jstone@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A Tory pledge to provide catch-up funding for health care is welcome, and it is hoped other parties will do the same as the race toward Octo- ber’s provincial election heats up, says the CEO of Lakeridge Health. Last week, Provincial Con- servative leader John Tory said he’d work to ensure the funding gap between 905 hospitals and those elsewhere in Ontario was closed. “Families in the 905 Region aren’t getting the access to health care services they deserve be- cause funding has fallen behind growth in this region,” said Mr. Tory, in a media release. According to Lakeridge Health’s board of trustees, Dur- ham hospitals currently receive $279 less funding per person than hospitals in the rest of On- tario. “The per capita gap is huge, and it’s huge because of years of lack of funding for growth,” said Brian Lemon, Lakeridge’s CEO. Mr. Tory’s plan promises, by the end of a four-year mandate, an increase of $8.5 billion in health care spending annually, part of which will be ear-marked for catch-up for high-growth areas like the 905. The problem couldn’t be solved overnight, said Mr. Lemon. “It would take a number of years to fully address the gap, but we could see turnarounds right away,” he said. Nor did the problem occur overnight, he noted. “Virtually all political parties have had a hand in the gap being the way it is now, and I expect it will take a number of govern- ments to return it to the way it was,” said Mr. Lemon, noting that he was hopeful other parties would put forward similar mes- sages in coming weeks. The sentiment was echoed by Ann McGuire, chairwoman of the GTA/905 Healthcare Alliance, a group which has called for better funding for some time. “We’re hopeful that all Ontario provincial parties will make sim- ilar commitments in their plat- forms to ensure that GTA/905 residents can get timely access to hospital and health care ser- vices close to home,” she said.

An installer for Direct Energy, he was recently working at the home of an Oshawa senior putting in air conditioning, when the doorbell rang. The person said she was from the “Consumer Energy Board” -- a non-existent entity -- and asked to see the homeowner’s most recent energy bill. “It’s a scam,” Mr. Bittorf whis- pered to his client. He says the ho- meowner tried to get the solicitor to leave, at which point she began yelling and threatening her. “They were telling her she would be in trouble with the government and that she had to show them her bill, I couldn’t believe it,” he says. “The woman was shaking, she was terrified.” Incidents this dramatic are rare, but Durham Regional Police say homeowners still need to exercise caution when someone on the doorstep starts asking questions about energy consumption or of- fering contracts to sign. In an age of fluctuating energy costs, many consumers are eager to land a deal, but need to be aware of fraud artists, or even le- gitimate natural gas marketers who misrepresent themselves or gloss over the details, to get a sig- nature on the dotted line. “When the guy came to my door he made it sound like he was from Enbridge, but he wasn’t really,” says Whitby resident Jan Moss, who recently cancelled a contract with an energy marketer after signing something she didn’t fully understand. “I liked the idea of paying the same rate for three years, but he didn’t really explain all the parts of the contract... it’s my own fault too. I shouldn’t have signed it so fast.” The police agree that customers shoulder a certain amount of per- sonal responsibility in these cases. “It’s basic common sense,” says Durham Regional Police Sergeant Paul McCurbin. “If someone ap- proaches your residence and asks you to sign something, check their ID. Get the number for their com- pany, close the door and call to check the legitimacy. Get all the information before you sign any- thing.” Sgt. McCurbin says there are no statistics available on energy scams in Durham or misrepresen- tation by gas marketers. Prior to 1985, the natural gas market in Ontario was highly regu- lated. Customers could only buy from the utility that served their area. Today, customers can purchase the gas itself from a marketer, pro- ducer or local utility. No matter who it is purchased from, the util- ity still delivers the gas at rates approved by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB), the body that regu- lates the natural gas and electricity utilities. According to the OEB, there are currently nine natural gas market- ers operating in the province. Many go door-to-door asking customers to sign up to purchase gas for three or five years, at a fixed rate. And they’re bound by certain rules. The OEB, which regulates the marketers, says they must im- mediately provide their name and the name of their company. They must be clear that they are not from your utility company, not make false or misleading state- ments and be clear about contract terms and the price to be paid per cubic metre of gas. If they fail to do any of these, or if customers have any other concerns, the OEB offers a wealth of online informa- tion about customer rights and responsibilities when dealing with gas marketers. They also handle complaints if the customer and marketer are unable to resolve a situation on their own. For more information on the OEB, visit www.oeb.gov.on.ca or contact the consumer relations centre at 416- 314-2455 or toll-free at 1-877-632- 2727.

Ajax and Pickering well represented at international event DURHAM — As in past years, Ajax and Pickering youth soccer teams will be heavily involved in the Robbie International Soccer Tour- nament that kicks off this holiday weekend. And, as usual, many of the Rob- bie’s preliminary contests are being hosted in the area. The 41st annual Robbie tourna- ment goes from June 30 to July 2 and again is a truly international affair. This year, it will host the Dungannon United Youth boys’ under- 14 team from Dungannon, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Two Ajax squads are competing with the Irish squad in the 20-team age group, with the Ajax Gunners competing in Group ‘C’, while the Ajax Strikers are playing in Group ‘D’. Ajax and Pickering teams are rep- resented in all eight boys’ divisions and five of eight girls’ divisions at the 2007 Robbie. Ajax United Soccer Club hosts the girls’ under-14, -16 and -18 age divisions of the 2007 tournament. Matches take place at either Mon- arch Park or Centennial, both locat- ed at the Ajax Community Centre. The following is an overview of those divisions, match start times and locations: • Girls’ under 14 - Monarch North and South (Monarch Avenue): Satur- day, June 30 - round-robin matches from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; Sunday, July 1 - round-robin matches from 9 a.m. - 11:15 a.m.; Sunday, July 1 - semifinals at 2 p.m.; Monday, July 2 - championship final at Scarborough’s Highview Park - 3:30 p.m. • Girls’ under-16 - Monarch North and South (Monarch Avenue): Sat- urday, June 30 - round-robin match- es from noon to 4:45 p.m.; Sunday, July 1 - round-robin matches at 11:30 a.m.; Monday, July 2 - championship final at Scarborough’s Birchmount Stadium - 3 p.m. • Girls’ under-18 - Centennial (Mon- arch Avenue): Saturday, June 30 - round-robin matches from 9:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.; Sunday, July 1 - round- robin matches from 9 a.m. to 1:45 p.m.; Monday, July 2 - championship final at Scarborough’s Birchmount Stadium - 11 a.m. Robbie proceeds have helped in the fight against Cystic Fibrosis and Muscular Dystrophy, raising more than $1 million over the past 40 years. City teen to swim with ’stangs Pickering Swim Club’s Mike Storto chooses Western to extend pool career By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — With swimming such a big part of his life since age 9, Mike Storto is determined to keep on churning through the water when he begins college life in the fall. The Pickering Swim Club member has earned a spot on the University of Western Ontar- io Mustangs’ men’s swim team in the fall, where he’s expected to be the team’s distance freestyle specialist at the London, Ontario university. Storto says he was prepared to swim and study at the University of Guelph and the University of Toronto, but opted for UWO due to his study requirements, in the environmental science realm, as well as for the strength of the swim team. “In January I went (to London) for a visit to get a feel for the team and I liked the coach very much. It seemed to be a good fit,” says Storto, 17, who’ll be swimming his specialties, the 400-metre and 800m freestyle. Although swimming in the U.S. on scholarship was an option for the Pickering resident and Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School graduate, Storto says he had no thoughts of swimming or studying stateside. “I wanted to stay close to home and get an education up here. I didn’t really want to go to the U.S.,” he says. Storto is grateful to the Pickering Swim Club and es- pecially to head coach Lucie Hewitt-Henderson for helping him develop in the sport. “My coach, coach Lucie, has been a great help to me. She has helped me develop as a swim- mer and a person. I have a lot of close friends here. They’ve all been great,” he says. His last meet with the Pickering club will come at the upcoming Club Nationals in Montreal in late July. He hopes to leave the swim club with a strong perfor- mance. “Hopefully, I can put together some good times. I hope to do well there,” he says. He’s most proud during his eight years with the Pickering club of achieving the club re- cord in the boys’ 17-and-over 400-metre freestyle. Storto does, however, say that the record will likely fall to one of his friends at the club. “It will probably be broken next year and Adam Gomba is most likely to break it,” he says. Robbie in town Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Michael Storto from the Pickering Swim Club will attend the University of Western Ontario in London, where he will be part of the Mustangs’ men’s swim team this fall. By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering Rock hope to finish an otherwise rocky season with a flourish. The Ontario Lacrosse Associa- tion senior ‘B’ league team will end the 2007 regular season with two home games, playing Dur- ham Region rival Brooklin Merchants on Friday night at the Pickering Recreation Complex. On Saturday, the Norwood Nitro come to town for the finale. Both games are at 8 p.m. Rock head coach Paul St. John says the goal is to sweep its final two home games and finish with a four- game winning streak. All this, he hopes, will culminate in the third- place overall finish in league play. “We have a real good chance to finish third overall,’ says St. John. “Two weeks ago, no one in their right mind would have believed we could finish third overall. I think it’s a good goal to set.” In terms of seedings for the up- coming playoffs, St. John’s says he’s looking forward to getting through the first-round of the playoffs, and hopefully meeting defending champion Wellington in the second round. “We want to meet Wellington as soon as possible, take on the best team and move on,” says St. John. Home-and-home round-robin play for the Rock will likely involve Brooklin and Norwood. The resurgent Rock (4-8) ap- peared down and out a scant few weeks ago, with only two wins to their credit. Since then, however, the team has added several key ingre- dients, including the return of Jim Veltman to the lineup, along with brother and top defender John Velt- man, Wayne Burke, formerly of the Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks Major Series squad, and Pavel Dosly, who played for his native Czech Republic at the World Lacrosse Champion- ships. And, with the new blood has come two wins in a row -- the latest an 8-5 victory over the Owen Sound Woodsmen in Owen Sound last Sat- urday night. Now, St. John says he has an em- barrassment of riches as far as play- ers are concerned. So much so that he’s dreading having to sit five play- ers in games this weekend, as teams are allowed to dress only 18 runners for each contest. “We’re into that stage now where a couple of guys are going to have to sit and hopefully they’ll buy into what we’re trying to do,” says St. John. In Saturday’s win over Owen Sound, the Rock built up a four-goal lead through the opening period and then watched it slip away after being called for eight penalties in the middle frame as the Woodsmen closed to within two goals. In the third, however, the Rock got goals from Joel Johnson and Burke, on a penalty shot, to record their fourth win of the season. Burke led the way with a four- point night (two goals, two assists), followed by Mark Craig with a three-pointers (two goals, one as- sist). Other goal scorers were Chris Parkin, Mike Daley and Dosly, with his first career senior ‘B’ goal.
