Ryan says Pickering opposed
to marriage of local hospital
with Scarborough site
By Kristen Calis

AJAX — Steady rain Saturday afternoon
didn’t keep Durham residents from protest-
ing the plan to cut mental health beds from
the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospi-
tal.
“It rained steady but we had around 1,000
people,” said Friends of the Ajax Pickering
Hospital co-chairman Bill Parish, adding
he’s sure even more would have attended
had the weather been better.
Residents from Ajax, Pickering and other
Durham municipalities met at the Ajax
Town hall and marched down to the Ajax
Community Centre to show their frustration
- the second time a large number of people
protested the plan to move 20 mental health
beds from RVAP to Centenary hospital in
Scarborough.
The transfer and the plan to cut up to 220
jobs in the Rouge Valley Health System over
three years are expected to help recoup its
$78-million in long-term debt and capital
deficiencies.
The RVHS also claims it will enhance
mental health care. The plan was approved
in March by the Central East Local Health
Integration Network, which requested a 30-
day consultation period; it has now ended.
“We hope that maybe it will change some
minds when they see the outcry in the com-
munity,” Mr. Parish said.
Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan said the beds
should stay in Ajax, and added Pickering
council was against the marriage of the Ajax-
Pickering hospital with Centenary in 1999.
“It was a shot-gun wedding,” he said. “It
hasn’t worked. It has to be dissolved.” He
added people with mental health issues are
real people, not statistics.
Ajax Mayor Steve Parish said the public
consultation invoked by the CE LHIN was
simply educating the public, not genuine
consultation.
Patient representative Lynn-Marie Ram-
jass said “the issues that really need address-
ing are continuously ignored: the mentally
ill,” adding Ajax should get the nine beds
that were announced for the unit in Decem-
ber.
Greg Hubka, vice president of the On-
tario Public Service Employees Union, said
OPSEU doesn’t agree care will be improved
through the plan.
“We’re committed to doing everything we
can to bring awareness to the government to
what our position is and the importance of
keeping these services in Durham Region,”
he said.
OPSEU has filed an injunction with the
Ontario Supreme Court with a hearing to
take place May 16.
Master of ceremonies Wendy Holliday felt
confident about the end result.
“We will win,” she said. “I believe it. I have
no doubts we’re going to win this.”

There are many good reasons to try to
eat together as a family once a day. It’s a
chance to slow down, connect and share
everyone’s day.
Increasingly, research is also showing
family meals are better for children’s
physical, emotional and mental health.
According to a study published last
month, families who eat together may have
healthier kids in the long term.
The fi ndings, which appear in the Jour-
nal of the American Dietetic Association,
suggest children who connect with their
parents at mealtimes are more likely to
have a healthier diet as young adults.
The study followed 1,700 teenagers for
fi ve years and found those who ate the most
meals with their families tended to eat bet-
ter as they got older, including eating more
fruits and vegetables.
This new research bolsters previous
studies that found children who share a
meal with family several times a week are
less likely to smoke, drink alcohol, use
drugs or become sexually active.
They also tend to do better academically
and have better mental health.
Unfortunately, while science suggests
families make more attempts to eat togeth-
er, economic forces are working against
them. According to Statistics Canada,
workers spend an average of 45 minutes
less per day with family members in 2005
than they did 20 years earlier.
The length of the workday has also ex-
panded, cutting into what was traditionally
the family dinnertime. On average, Cana-
dians now work about 30 minutes longer
each day than they did a generation ago.
Exacerbating the meal crunch is simply
the fast-paced and full lives of many fami-
lies today. Children are often involved in
more extra-curricular activities and have
more homework to get through each night,
than their parents did as kids.
So, what to do?
Start by doing some ‘investment’ cook-
ing: double a meal one night and freeze
half for later or set aside one afternoon
on the weekend to cook several meals that
can be tucked away in the freezer for busy
nights.
Next, save yourself time by purchasing
pre-cut vegetables. Yes, they cost more but
you’re more likely to use them and less
likely to be pitching out brown broccoli
next week. Even onions – the most dreaded
of kitchen chores – are available pre-
chopped and frozen. A simple meal, such as
bean burritos, can be whipped up in under
half an hour.
The family meal
s
till matters
MAKE IT A TRADITION Sitting down each day for a family meal, whether it be breakfast or dinner, still
holds a lot of value and importance for you and your children.
Leadership in
education
What does it mean to be a leader? In
today’s world we recognize that a real
leader is a person of action and compas-
sion, vision and insight, initiative and
responsibility.
At Trinity College School, the com-
munity recently undertook a long-term
planning exercise to understand how
they can best prepare students to be
leaders – leaders in their local and global
communities, leaders within the school
and, most importantly, leaders within
their own lives.
As a result of this community-wide
planning initiative, Trinity College
School has adopted a new mission
statement: developing habits of the
heart and mind for a life of purpose
and service. This statement refl ects
their understanding that true success

‘bang on the button’
By Kim Downey
kdowney@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA — The federal government must
let loose the reins on the economy by chang-
ing the arrangement that sees Ontario hand-
ing more than $20 billion annually to the
feds for distribution to Canada’s other prov-
inces, says Premier Dalton McGuinty.
“We could do more and faster if the fed-
eral government takes the brakes off the
economy,” he said. “What’s happening today
is unfair. . . . It’s time to stand up for fair-
ness.”
Speaking Friday at the Ontario Chamber
of Commerce 96th Annual General Meeting,
Mr. McGuinty told about 160 delegates from
across the province that the federal govern-
ment should reconsider the fiscal arrange-
ment that is hurting Ontario and its ability
to cut corporate taxes.
“We are sending (the federal government)
too much of our money,” he said.
“Ontario doesn’t begrudge (the other
provinces). The problem is we are sending
$20 billion to the federal government when
we need more and the other provinces need
less.”
If Ontario could withhold some of the $20
billion it could look more realistically at of-
fering more significant corporate tax cuts,
further infrastructure spending and other
spending priorities, the premier said.
Some have-not provinces that get equal-
ization transfers from the federal govern-
ment use the funds to lower their corporate
tax rates.
Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has
criticized the province for not cutting corpo-
rate tax rates.
He has suggested combining provincial
and federal corporate taxes to a point they
can brand Ontario as having a competitive
25 per cent corporate tax rate.
Mr. Flaherty wants the federal portion
to be 15 per cent and wants the province
to lower theirs to 10 per cent. The idea has
merit as a means to attract investment in
Ontario businesses but “he has never talked
to me about it,” Mr. McGuinty said.
An even 12 1/2 per cent split seems more
fair, he said later at a media scrum.
Delegates are meeting this weekend at the
Holiday Inn in Oshawa.
If Ontario becomes a have-not province,
which is possible by 2010, it could find it-
self in a position of essentially paying itself
through the federal government, the pre-
mier said.
Ontario manufacturers, seen as the en-
gine of the Canadian economy, have been
struggling with the downturn in the U.S.
economy, its biggest trade partner.
The high Canadian dollar, the weakened
American dollar, the subprime mortgage
crisis and record fuel prices have hit Ontario
manufacturers hard. The impact has hit On-
tario as the province does three times more
trade with the United States than the rest of
Canada.
“These are anxious times,” Mr. McGuinty
said, referring to Oshawa’s challenges, in-
cluding recently announced layoffs of 1,000
GM workers at Oshawa’s truck plant effec-
tive Sept. 8.
But he said there is hope as the Province
is making strides in cutting taxes, making
major investments in infrastructure im-
provements, job creation and job training.
To spur innovation, startup companies in
Ontario that want to commercialize locally
developed innovations can do so tax-free for
10 years, for example.
Bob Malcolmson, CEO of the Greater
Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, which is
hosting the chambers’ gathering, said Mr.
McGuinty’s comments were “bang on the
button” in regards to criticism of the federal-
provincial equalization payment structure.
“Our chamber, as well as the Ontario
chamber, think it’s not working out across
the country,” Mr. Malcolmson said.
“It has to be a fairer funding formula for
all the provinces, not just Ontario. We are
not getting the same per capita that we
should be in areas like health care, that’s a
definite.”

DURHAM — The temperature’s
going up and the barbecues are com-
ing out, just remember to be safe!
Ajax Fire and Emergency Services explains
that residents should follow these safety tips to
ensure a safe barbecue season:
• Test all connections and hoses for leaks by
using a 50/50 solution of soap and water;
• Do not use matches, lights
or flame to check for leaks;
• Check for insect nests and spider
webs as clogged tubes can cause a fire;
• Replace worn, rusted parts, clean everything,
and light a match before opening the valve; and,
• Remember to always barbecue out-
side in a well-ventilated area, away
from windows or combustible surfaces.
“There’s something appealing about cook-
ing your meal on a barbecue and enjoying
a social gathering with family and friends,”
said Randy Wilson, Ajax Fire Chief, “How-
ever, it is imperative that residents take the
time to ensure all parts of the barbecue are
operating properly prior to the start of this
year’s barbecue season.” They would also like
to remind residents of emergency situations.
If you smell gas, remember to shut off the
gas supply immediately, shut off burner con-
trols, extinguish any flames, open the grill lid
to air out the gas, and if the odour contin-
ues, call the fire department or gas supplier.
A few quick things to remember when mov-
ing your propane cylinder are: be sure valves
are closed; keep children away from barbecues
at all times; never leave a barbecue unattend-
ed; and, always turn it off after use.

Safety tips for the upcoming barbecue season
Videos details
shocking abuse

OSHAWA — The Crown
is seeking a sentence of
14 years for Jeremy Pike,
the former Oshawa school
teacher who pleaded guilty
to 10 charges relating to
assaults on six boys.
Emotions ran high in an
Oshawa courtroom Friday
as details of the horrific
sexual abuse visited on
several young boys by Mr.
Pike were read into the re-
cord.
Mothers wept -- one of
them suddenly leaping
from her seat and rush-
ing from the courtroom
-- while others sat in
stunned silence, staring at
the accused man or cra-
dling their heads in their
hands as the crimes of Jer-
emy Pike were detailed for
an Ontario Court judge.
Mr. Pike, 35, pleaded
guilty to 10 charges relat-
ing to assaults on six boys,
some of them as young as
six years old when they
were abused in incidents
that ranged from sexual
touching to sodomy. The
victims included three
brothers from one family.
The charges, relating to
assaults dating back sev-
eral years, consisted of
eight counts of sexual in-
terference and one each
of making and possessing
child pornography.
Although police have
identified six victims, the
identities of two young
boys Mr. Pike filmed him-
self abusing haven’t been
conclusively determined,
Crown counsel Kent Sali-
wonchyk told Justice Mary
Teresa Devlin.
A significant part of the
Crown’s evidence, apart
from accounts from the
abused children, was more
than 13 hours of video po-
lice seized at Mr. Pike’s
Bowmanville home when
they arrested him in July
of 2005, after allegations
first surfaced. The video
and still photos depict Mr.
Pike with young boys who
appear to be asleep.
Although it’s difficult
to believe the boys would
have slept through some
of the sexual contact,
there’s no evidence they
were given any substances
to knock them out, Mr.
Saliwonchyk said.
“The children on most
occasions remember little,
if anything, of most of the
assaults,” he said.
As part of the sentenc-
ing process Justice Devlin
viewed a portion of the
seized video, but she did
so in a sealed courtroom
without court staff. The
public was excluded, as
was Mr. Pike.
In a statement of fact
read into the record fol-
lowing Mr. Pike’s guilty
plea, Mr. Saliwonchyk de-
scribed Mr. Pike’s pattern
of meeting and befriend-
ing the parents of young
children, gaining their
confidence and eventually
access to the boys, whom
he would babysit, tutor
and take on outings. He
even coached the T-ball
team of one of his young
victims, Mr. Saliwonchyk
said.
Mr. Pike was a Grade
5 teacher at Glen Street
Public School in Oshawa
at the time of his arrest.
His lawyer, Eric Lewis,
said none of the victims
were students of Mr. Pike.
The bespectacled Mr.
Pike, wearing a white T-
shirt and with his long
hair bound in a ponytail,
sat seemingly impassive
throughout the hearing,
his face and body lan-
guage betraying no emo-
tion. That was in contrast
to relatives of his victims,
who gasped and shed tears
as details of the shocking
assaults were read into the
record.
A sentence hearing will
take place for Mr. Pike
later in May.

Former teacher pleads guilty to sexually assaulting boys
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Sexual as-
sault convictions for a for-
mer Oshawa teacher re-
quire no action by the pub-
lic school board.
Jeremy Pike, who was
a Grade 5 teacher at Glen
Street Public School when
he was arrested in July 2005,
recently pleaded guilty to 10
charges relating to sexual
assaults on six boys. None
of the victims were Mr.
Pike’s students, according
to his lawyer, Eric Lewis.
Sentencing is expected later
in May.
“No action is necessary
(by the Durham District
School Board) at this time
because he is not an em-
ployee of the board,” said
Lou Vavougios, superinten-
dent of employee relations.
Although Mr. Vavougios
can’t comment on specifics
regarding Mr. Pike’s situa-
tion or when he ceased to
be an employee of board,
Mr. Vavougios discussed
the procedures surround-
ing such incidents.
“We do take the neces-
sary steps to ensure student
safety,” he said. “Student
safety is the priority for us.”
When an employee is
charged with sexual assault,
it must be reported to the
Ontario College of Teach-
ers, which also conducts an
investigation, said Mr. Va-
vougios. If the board can’t
assess the situation be-
cause, for example, it hap-
pened outside the school,
the employee can be sus-
pended, generally with pay.
But, if the alleged offense
occurred on school prem-
ises, the board can assess
it and suspend or fire the
accused. The employee can
also be terminated or sus-
pended upon a conviction,
or if they fail to respond to
the board’s letter and phone
call within a given time
frame. “In other words, for
not being accountable,” said
Mr. Vavougios.
If the court’s decision
was appealed by the ac-
cused, it wouldn’t change
the board’s decision, said
Mr. Vavougios. The termi-
nated employee would have
to appeal the school board’s
decision through the griev-
ance arbitration process.
Even if an accused em-
ployee is acquitted, depend-
ing on facts in the case, they
can still be suspended or
fired, said Mr. Vavougios.

DURHAM — Gas tax
funding will permanently
flow to the municipali-
ties, finance minister and
Whitby-Oshawa MP Jim
Flaherty officially an-
nounced Monday morning
at Durham Region head-
quarters as he re-stated the
promise made in the fed-
eral budget.
Mr. Flaherty talked about
the increasing pressure of
growth on municipalities
when it comes to infra-
structure.
“To keep pace with this
growth in our municipali-
ties, we need long-term,
predictable streams of
funding,” he said, adding
that municipalities can
now plan long-term uses
for the funding.
Mr. Flaherty said, so far,
municipalities have used
gas tax money for a variety
of projects including roads,
bridges and transit. The fi-
nance minister explained
the Gas Tax Fund is part
of the federal government’s
$33-billion infrastructure
plan.
“Gas tax funding has
allowed Durham munici-
palities to begin to address
urgent infrastructure needs
facing our communities,”
said Durham Region Chair-
man and former AMO pres-
ident Roger Anderson.
The Region of Durham
and its eight municipalities
will see $49.4 million from
the fund between 2008 and
2010. Of that, the Region
will receive $8.2 million in
2008-09 and $16.5 million
in 2009-10.
In previous years, Dur-
ham put its gas tax money
towards its new Regional
recycling facility in Whitby.
“These investments sup-
port services and facilities
that citizens use on a daily
or weekly basis, whether
it’s clean water, improved
transit, a new bridge on
the road to town or an
improved plant to recycle
blue box materials,” said
Mr. Anderson.
And the regional chair-
man suggests putting the
new funding into waste as
well, by spending it on the
energy-from-waste (EFW)
facility proposed for Cour-
tice.
“Hopefully, if all goes
well, we’ll put it into the
EFW facility, if it proceeds,”
he said following Mr. Fla-
herty’s announcement. He
added that if the project
doesn’t go through, the
money could be used for
roads or transit.
Pickering Mayor Dave
Ryan sees some merit in
that idea.
“I don’t want to pre-sup-
pose it’s going to proceed,
but if it does proceed, it is
a logical use for infrastruc-
ture funds,” he said.
But not everyone was
happy with the announce-
ment. Pickering Scar-
borough East MP Dan
McTeague said the funds
aren’t enough for a munic-
ipality growing as fast as
Durham.
“Our Region is among the
fastest growing in Ontario
and we have been continu-
ously let down by the Con-
servatives and Mr. Flaherty
who has gone from bashing
Ontario to banishing a fair
share for Durham region,“
said Mr. McTeague.

Permanent gas tax dollars flowing through to Durham municipalities
Facility costs $163 million
By Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
CLARINGTON — The Region on Friday
officially unveiled the new Courtice Water
Pollution Control Plant (WPCP), the largest
project Durham has undertaken to date.
The $163-million plant can handle 68 mil-
lion litres of wastewater per day. Currently
it’s operating at 60 per cent capacity and
handling sewage from Oshawa, where it
replaces Plant No. 1 at the Harmony Creek
WPCP. That plant was built in the 1950s and
is “showing its age,” said Regional Chairman
Roger Anderson.
“With state-of-the-art systems in place,
this new plant will improve our treatment
efficiency and help protect the water quality
of Lake Ontario,” said Mr. Anderson.
The plant combines both biological pro-
cesses— micro-organisms that digest the
bio-solids— and chemical processes to vir-
tually eliminate the discharge of ammonia
and chlorine into Lake Ontario.
“This new water pollution control plant
is an addition to the other plants in Dur-
ham Region to ensure that our wastewater
is handled in the proper and most up-to-
date fashion,” said Councillor Charlie Trim,
chairman of the Region’s works committee.
The plant is located on Osbourne Road
near Courtice Road between the CN railway
line and Lake Ontario and has been in the
works for years, with construction kicking off
in the summer of 2005. It began operating in
January.
“This is a true milestone for the Region of
Durham and the planning has been going
on since 1996,” said Mr. Anderson.
Eventually the plant will handle sewage
from Clarington and north Whitby. In the
next two years, the Region will complete an
environmental assessment in order to lay
trunk sewers in Courtice and east Oshawa,
leading to serviced lands that can attract
industry.
“This will mean local jobs and industrial
and commercial land revenues,” said Clar-
ington Mayor Jim Abernethy. The plant will
also allow for residential growth.
Officials made sure to thank the many
contractors, consultants and current and
former Region staff that worked on the proj-
ect.
“We’re very proud of the facility and we’re
very proud of the people who worked on it.
Thank you very much for that,” said Mr. An-
derson.
Following the official ribbon cutting,
many guests donned hard hats and toured
the facility.
Bernie Kuslikis, manager of environmen-
tal design services for the Region, helped
lead one of the tours. He fielded questions
about how the plant operates and its envi-
ronmental impact.
He said the Ministry of the Environment
is raising the bar as far as discharge from
wastewater plants released into Lake On-
tario.
He pointed out that the outfall, the dis-
charged water, from the Courtice WPCP is
non-toxic.
“Fish could swim up the outfall,” said Mr.
Kuslikis.

Only call 911
in an emergency
To the editor:
My wife is a Toronto paramedic and I
fully agree with Mr. Snow’s comments in
his April 20 letter.
In addition to Mr. Snow’s ideas, I have
an idea that would assist the paramedics
in Toronto and Durham, and hopefully
reduce hospital ER wait times. It’s called
triage. Currently, paramedics in Ontario
MUST transport a patient to hospital when
the patient requests it, regardless of what
their injury is.
One of the classics my wife faced was a
man who stubbed his toe. He thought he
broke a toe and called 911. When my wife
told him an ambulance was not required,
he demanded transport, and she lawfully
obliged. This man could’ve easily had a
family member or a taxi transport him to
hospital. He was not suffering a life-threat-
ening injury, and thus tied up an emer-
gency paramedic crew for several hours.
The hospital would not admit him imme-
diately, because he was not dying.
Paramedics need provincial government
legislation to change the Ambulance Act,
permitting them to triage a patient, and
make a logical decision whether an ambu-
lance is required or not. If this was allowed,
we’d have a lot more available paramedic
crews on the road, and not sitting in the ER.
911 is for life-threatening emergencies,
crimes in progress, any type of fire, serious
vehicle collisions, etc...
Don’t call 911 because you don’t feel
well, or because your knee or hip hurts, or
you have a toothache (I’ve attended these
types of calls).
Call 911 for any kind of chest pain, short-
ness of breath, serious falls, unconscious-
ness, head injuries, broken limbs, etc...
Please, don’t abuse our emergency ser-
vices. Tying up an ambulance for a sore
knee could make the difference between
life and death for someone else.

Ajax
Health minister must
intervene at hospital
To the editor:
Health Minister George Smitherman
must meet with the Friends of the Ajax-
Pickering Hospital to discuss the rape and
plunder of the hospital’s mental health
unit. Also, to intercede and stop, on behalf
of the citizens of Ajax and Durham, the clo-
sure and transfer of 29 beds of this much-
needed facility to Centenary Hospital.
The councils of Ajax, Pickering, Whitby,
Oshawa and Durham Region have unani-
mously passed resolutions to the Province
to stop the transfer and to reverse and sever
the amalgamation of the two hospitals.
The Rouge Valley Health System board
has taken it upon itself to secretly approve
the dismantling of the mental health unit
without any public input. This was done in
violation of their own rules and regulations
of bringing any health system changes to
the public’s attention.
Obviously, these people are only looking
at the bottom line, with total disregard to
the wants and needs of the people.
People suffering from mental health dis-
orders have enough to contend with with-
out the worry of having to travel further
to receive proper care. The board thought
nobody would notice or stand up for the
rights of the mentally ill. Well, they were
wrong!!!
As a concerned citizen and taxpayer I ask
Mr. Smitherman to intercede in this matter
and to take it one step further – terminate
the services of the board of the Rouge Val-
ley Health System and disband the Central
East LHIN group. Neither seems to have
the interest of the people in mind.
We must keep the core services of every
hospital available to all citizens. It is very
disconcerting that the number of mental
health illnesses continues to rise, making
these changes even more difficult to com-
prehend.

Ajax
Agreement determines
windows ownership
To the editor:
Who owns the church windows? I’ve
been following this story since I first read
about it in the newspapers and I’ve just
got to say that there is only one issue here
- who owns the church windows?
The simple matter is that if the agree-
ment of purchase and sale between the
vendor and purchaser did not exclude the
windows, they are owned by the purchaser
- the Town of Ajax.
Isn’t the congregation venting on the
wrong party? Shouldn’t they be taking the
issue up with the Archdiocese of Toronto
because the Archdiocese is the one that let
the congregation down by not excluding
the windows from the agreement? Instead
of condemning the Town for not handing
over an integral and historically signifi-
cant part of a building that it legally owns,
shouldn’t they praise the Town for rescu-
ing the whole thing after the congregation
moved on?
I’m not sure that even King Solomon
could help here.

Let’s use
gas tax
cash wisely
Councillors must debate
options for millions
M unicipalities far and wide can
breathe a little easier today
after it was confirmed Monday
that federal gas tax funding would be
extended permanently.
That allows Durham’s eight munici-
palities, along with the Region, the
advantage of being able to budget
knowing millions will flow from the feds
to our area on an annual basis.
The amount of our federal tax dollars
bouncing back to us is not insignificant.
Over the last three years Durham’s
municipalities and the Region received
$32 million in federal money, which was
used to help fund the material recovery
facility in the Region, improvements
to organics collections in Oshawa and
other projects.
It’s estimated the funding will increase
to nearly $50 million over the next few
years. The Region will get $8.2 million
next year and $16.5 million in 2009-
2010. What to do with that windfall is
the $24.7 million question.
Regional Chairman Roger Anderson
said he would like to see the cash flow
into the proposed energy-from-waste
facility, which, if it passes an envi-
ronmental assessment and gets final
approval from council, would be built in
Courtice.
However, there may be other options
for the money, including but not limited
to: using it for needed road repairs or to
help offset future Regional tax increases.
Given that the money is essentially
guaranteed by the feds, it’s important
council have a debate over what to
use it for. Councillors must make sure
residents get the best bang for their tax
buck no matter what the source is.
It’s tempting to see Mr. Anderson’s
rationale for funding the EFW facility
out of federal gas tax contributions.
Such a plan, executed over a number of
years, would take the large capital cost
expense away from Regional ratepay-
ers and allow Regional councillors the
chance to say it won’t cost local resi-
dents on their property tax bill.
But the incinerator is certainly far
from a sure thing and it would be worth-
while to find other smart ways to use the
federal dough to improve local infra-
structure.
This Week
After the federal government made gas tax
funding permanent recently, where should
the millions go the Region will receive each
year?
To the energy from waste proposal
To lowering regional taxes
To road repairs

Lieutenant-governor
says accessibility
is an attitude
By Josie Newman
DURHAM — Attitudes toward Ontarians
with disabilities need to change before full
accessibility and acceptance can happen,
the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario told a
high school audience Friday.
David C. Onley, the 28th lieutenant-gov-
ernor of Ontario and a victim of childhood
polio, told a packed Ajax High School cafete-
ria that physical accessibility for those with
disabilities can change.
But, until public attitude does an about-
face, those with disabilities will continue to
suffer barriers to their success.
“Accessibility is whatever it takes for peo-
ple to be able to achieve their full potential.
What you experience here at school is the
beginning of your full potential. Imagine
something you had no control over stop-
ping you from achieving your potential, like
your skin colour or something invisible like
dyslexia or obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Did you know that Albert Einstein, Winston
Churchill and Alexander Graham Bell all
had dyslexia?
The list goes on, but the point is they fo-
cused on their abilities rather than their dis-
abilities,” said Lt.-Gov. Onley, former news
anchor at City TV, who was at the school to
celebrate Education Week and Disabilities
Day.
He recounted his own life story of becom-
ing the first news anchor in the province
with a visible disability, following gradua-
tion from the University of Toronto with a
political science degree and from the Uni-
versity of Windsor with a law degree.
Throughout his talk he wove the history
of Ontario’s first lieutenant-governor, John
Graves Simcoe, who set the tone for abolish-
ing slavery throughout the British Empire,
with his own mandate of furthering acces-
sibility in the province, primarily in employ-
ment and transportation.
“Unemployment stands at 50 per cent
for people with disabilities, although at 15
per cent of the population they make up
the largest minority group in the province.
Public transit is the second biggest barrier to
people with disabilities and part of what I’m
tackling, too,” he said.
Lt.-Gov. Onley was sworn in in September,
2007, after being approached by former co-
worker Anne Rohmer and her father, Rich-
ard Rohmer, a famous military figure and
writer, to submit his name as a candidate. He
was chosen and appointed to the position by
Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
He is enabling the Ontario Disabilities
Act of 2005, a 20-year plan to make Ontario
accessible for all residents, to become a real-
ity more quickly by speaking to government
about the issues that matter to people with
disabilities.
“Richard Rohmer approached me in 2006
and asked if I would consider putting my
name in for lieutenant governorship and,
because he was so well-known, I knew it
would be noticed. My own letter explaining
what I would do if I were appointed to the
position said I’d push for accessibility for
all,” he said.
He described his role as enabling on the
one hand, but limited on the other, because
he has no political power to affect or even
comment on public policy.
“It’s very difficult to get heart-wrenching
letters from people and not have the power
to pick up the phone and call somebody who
can do something,” he said.

Region is once
again looking
for dead birds
DURHAM — It’s that time of
year again: the mosquitoes are
back.
The Durham Regional Health
Department begins surveillance
activities for the 2008 West Nile
virus (WNV) season on May 12
and residents are encouraged to
report dead bird sightings.
Humans become infected with
the virus through an infected
mosquito bite while mosquitoes
become infected by feeding on
the blood of a bird that carries the
disease.
The health department pro-
vides residents the option of re-
porting dead bird sightings on-
line. The focus is on crows, blue
jays, eagles, hawks and owls. If
residents are unsure of the bird
species, they should contact the
health department which does
not pick up birds that are un-
suitable for testing. Not all birds
collected are submitted for WNV
testing.
Other birds should be disposed
of using gloves or a shovel, plac-
ing the bird in a double plastic
bag. Birds can be placed in the
garbage or buried several feet un-
derground.
Since 2001, WNV has been
discovered in mosquitoes, birds,
horses and humans in Ontario.
In 2007, there were 15 confirmed
human cases, which included one
travel case in Durham Region.
During last season’s testing, Dur-
ham Region submitted 36 birds
with three birds testing positive.
In Ontario, 79 birds tested posi-
tive and 51 mosquito pools were
infected with the virus. Durham
reported no mosquito pools.
Some ways to reduce mosqui-
toes breeding in stagnant water
around homes are: remove stand-
ing water from around the home;
empty and clean bird baths
weekly; and, turn over compost
piles frequently.
The health department will
have activities throughout the
summer, such as an adult mos-
quito-trapping program, a larval
mosquito surveillance program
and a larviciding program. Pub-
lic notification is provided before
each activity. For information
on WNV, call the Health De-
partment’s Environmental Help
Line at 905-723-3818 or 1-888-
777-9613, ext. 2188. For further

DUFFIN HEIGHTS NEIGHBOURHOOD
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICING PLAN (ESP)
CITY OF PICKERING
Class Environmental Assessment and Ontario Realty Corporation (ORC) Category ‘B’ Class Environmental Assessment
NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE #3
THURSDAY, MAY 15, 2008
Duffi n Heights is an Urban Neighbourhood identifi ed in the City of Pickering Offi cial Plan. Policies within the City of
Pickering Offi cial Plan require an Environmental Servicing Plan (ESP) prior to development occurring in the Duffi n Heights
Neighbourhood. Sernas Associates, on behalf of Mattamy Homes Limited, Coughlan Homes, and the Ontario Realty
Corporation have conducted the Duffi n Heights Environmental Servicing Plan (ESP).
The ESP addresses the following components needed for development to occur:
• Proposed road needs;
• Proposed road alignments;
• Natural Heritage System (NHS) crossings;
• Community Facility needs; and
• Development Limits.
The above plan depicts the preferred road locations and preferred land use and recommended development limits for the
Duffi n Heights Neighbourhood. In consultation with agencies and the public the recommendations of the ESP required
the following Community Facilities to support the development of the Neighbourhood – 2 elementary schools, 4 Village
Greens, 1 Neighbourhood Park and 4 stormwater management ponds.
The purpose of this PIC is to solicit public comment on recommendations of the ESP that have changed since the Notice
of Study Completion was issued late last year. These changes are proposed to be made to a revised ESP once comments
from the approval agencies and the public have been considered.
You are provided an opportunity to comment on all revised recommendations of the report including:
• The protection for the possible extension of Valley Farm Road north of the Third Concession Road to connect
with Brock Road including crossing the Ganatsekiagon Creek. Note that this is protection for the road extension
and a possible crossing only. A Class Environmental Assessment will have to be undertaken before approvals to
construct the road extension and crossing could be undertaken.
• The relocation of one of the required stormwater management facilities to the triangular shaped parcel of land,
currently under Hydro One ownership, at the northeast corner of Rossland Road and Brock Road. This facility is
required in order to provide for both stormwater quantity and quality control for both the widening and urbanization
(installation of curbs and linear storm sewers) for Brock Road north of the Third Concession Road, as well as a
portion of the developable lands within the Duffi ns Creek watershed.
• The provision of additional open space designations generally located west of Brock Road adjacent to the Cana-
dian Pacifi c Railway and east of Brock Road north of Taunton Road and south of Old Taunton Road.
The locations of the areas subject to the revised recommendations are shown on the above plan.
You are invited
We welcome you to have a look at the preferred road network and land use plan and give us your comments. Provide
your input at this third and fi nal Public Open House;

Bessada KIA has been owned and operated by Joe and Mar-
celle Bessada since 2004. After 29 years of owning a GM deal-
ership in Port Perry, Joe retired. He sought the stimulation that
comes from running his own business, however, so he opened
his Kia dealership. Now run as a family business, Joe and Mar-
celle treats their customers “the way they expect to be treated”
— with respect and integrity. For Joe, it starts with the dealer-
ship.
Committed to service and product
A quality vehicle must be backed up with the attention you
deserve and service you can trust. Service manager Mike Lec-
cese has fi ve years experience with Kia while Josh has three
and a half years’ in the automotive industry for customer ser-
vice.
People from every walk of life come to the showroom every
day to fi nd out what Bessada KIA has to offer. Some are just
starting out in their professional lives and others are starting to
relax in life. They share a common goal — they all want high
quality vehicles at affordable prices. Bessada KIA treats them
all the same way, with integrity and respect. Let them show you
how a Kia can fi t into your life.
Joe Bessada invites you to meet his new service team — they
have a unique style which will benefi t more than just your ve-
hicle! Bessada Kia is located at 1675 Bayly Street, Pickering.

OPEN MOTHER’S DAY 9:00 AM-5:00 PM
Even though we have only been
celebrating our mothers for a little less
than a hundred years, their role and
status have changed a lot because
of family separations, reconstituted
families, adoptive families etc. There
are as many different family models
as there are new challenges for the
modern mother.
The feminist struggle has opened
new doors, as much in the job
market as in the home. But there
still remain enormous diffi culties
in families where the mother is
not necessarily the one who gave
birth to us. Think about those
reconstituted families, for example,
where sometimes two mothers
share the same role. According
to the most recent statistics of the
Public Health Agency of Canada,
12% of families with children are
reconstituted. As well as playing her
traditional role, a mother must, more
than ever, be inventive and able to
organize complicated daily logistics
within families where her status
can sometimes be ambiguous.
On Mother’s Day pay homage to
mothers for fi nding answers to all
the new challenges they are faced
with.
THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 7, 2008 PAGE 15 A/Pdurhamregion.com
A mother’s role has really changed!
My mom is so special because she
is always there for me, is nice and
supportive, drives us to our dad’s
without complaints, makes sure we
are happy and always makes time
for us.

As simple as one, two, three! Breakfast Trifl e
(NC)-Here’s a delicious breakfast of fruit, yogurt and granola. For
convenience, make the yogurt fi lling a day ahead, then assemble
everything just before you serve breakfast (if you do it sooner, the
granola will lose its crunch). Assemble using individual bowls.
• 1 1/4 cups Regular or Low Fat Eagle Brand Sweetened
Condensed (300mL) Milk
• 2 cups thick plain yogurt (500mL)
• 1/4 cup lemon juice (juice of 1 lemon) (50mL)
• 1 tbsp zest of 1 lemon (15mL)
• 1 tsp vanilla (5mL)
• 4 cups fruit (sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) (1L)
• 3 cups granola (375 mL)
• Mix yogurt and condensed milk. Add lemon juice, zest and
vanilla. Whip until mixture thickens.
• Place 1 cup (250mL) granola in bottom of an 8 cup (2L) bowl.
Spoon 2 cups of yogurt mixture. Layer 2 cups (500mL) fruit, 1 cup
(250mL) granola, remaining yogurt mixture, fruit and granola.
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Baking Time: n/a
Makes: 8 servings
Freezing: not recommended
A DELICIOUS Mother’s Day
(NC)-Ask any mom what she’d really like for Mother’s Day and you’ll likely hear, “I’d
love a break.”
To give your mother a break, start with breakfast in bed. Let mom sleep in late while
dad and the kids prepare something good in the kitchen. Make it simple - for ex-
ample, a yogurt and granola ‘Breakfast Trifl e’ (see recipe), toast and tea, or a small
fruit salad served with warm muffi ns (make your own or try a convenient ready-to-
bake product such as Robin Hood’s Just Like Homemade Frozen Muffi ns). Other
great Mother’s Day recipes are available online at www.robinhood.ca.
Arrange everything nicely on a clean tray, and don’t forget a napkin and vase with
a single fl ower (a pretty tulip or daffodil from the garden will work). When every-
thing’s ready, add mom’s favourite section or fl yer from the local newspaper and
breakfast is served.
Be sure your mom spends the rest of her special day doing what she enjoys whether
that means reading quietly, visiting good friends or going for a walk with the family.
My mom is so special because
she gives me lots of hugs and
kisses.
Justin – Age 5
My mom is so special because
she cleans my clothes, buys me

Great ways to say
‘I love you’
(NC)-In North America Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May
(and this special occasion is actually the most popular one after Christmas and
Valentine’s Day). While cards and fresh cut fl owers are tradition, here’s a checklist of
other great gift ideas.
• Buy annuals or perennials and plant them for your mom in her garden.
• For mom’s who love to cook, buy a collection of potted organic herbs including
basil, rosemary, sage and thyme and make her an herb garden.
• Homemade art gifts are cherished especially when children are young. But
anything creative - a picture, poem or photo - is a lovely personalized gift.
• Photos are always a hit. Portrait packages are available at a range of prices - hire
a professional, have a portrait package done in a discount store or ask a friend
who has a good eye, to take pictures. Cut and paste photos (or copies of the
photos to preserve the original) onto a half-sized poster board, fi ll a memory photo
album or box or load a digital picture frame with family pictures. Of course, a single
framed picture is a lovely gift too.
• Have photos put on a T-shirt, calendar, mouse pad or coffee cup. Check photo
departments and stores for these specialized photo fi nishing services.
• Package up a homemade treat such as your mom’s favourite coffee cake,
cookies or even a fresh fruit fl an. Check out www.robinhood.ca for great recipes.
• Help your mom clean her house. Hire her a week of cleaning services or offer to
do the housework yourself.
• Offer to help with home repair or updating projects such as painting
or wall papering or hire someone to help.
• Treat your mom to a pedicure or manicure. The gift will be even nicer if you have
your own nails painted right alongside your mom’s.
• Plan a special outing to a museum or live play and be sure to include lunch in the
invitation whether you pack a scrumptious picnic or take her to a restaurant.
• At the end of the day, remember that spending time with the people she cares
about is a great way to spend Mother’s Day too.
My mom is so special because
she reads stories, sings three
songs and says I love you to me
before I go to bed every night!
Cameron – Age 5
My mom is so special because she
reads to me, hugs me, cuddles
me, teaches me and loves me.
She is the best mommy!
Celeste – Age 6
Famous Mothers
• The Queen Mother (British monarch)
• Mother Teresa (a religious mother known for her work with the poor,
sick and hungry)
• Mother Goose (famous children’s fable)
• Old Mother Hubbard (famous children’s nursery rhyme)
• Whistler’s Mother (famous painting)

council receives
$66,127
DURHAM — A provincial
grant will make it easier for
newcomers to settle in Can-
ada.
The Community Devel-
opment Council Durham
received $66,127 for its
Newcomer Settlement Pro-
gram (NSP), which will be
used to help immigrants
find jobs and settle in the
community.
“We’re always excited
when much-needed funds
are invested in our local
community to provide
programs and services for
local residents,” says CDCD
executive director Tracey
Vaughan.
The NSP aids perma-
nent residents, regardless
of their Canadian citizen-
ship status, refugees and
refugee claimants, foreign
domestic workers under the
Live-In Caregiver Program,
Minister’s Permit holders
or persons who have re-
ceived special permission
to remain in Canada for the
purpose of becoming a per-
manent resident.
In announcing the fund-
ing for the CDCD, Ajax-
Pickering MPP Joe Dickson
in a press release said “new-
comers bring the skills, ed-
ucation and global experi-
ence that help Ontario to
prosper.” The CDCD started
the NSP more than a decade
ago. Last year, almost 3,000
clients in Durham Region
benefited from the program,
Ms. Vaughan states.
It’s one of four settlement
programs offered by the
CDCD. Others include the
Host program, and Immi-
grant Settlement and Adap-
tation program.
“Across these programs
we are continuing to see
an increased demand for
service, one that is grow-
ing exponentially as our re-
gion continues it’s climb to
the one-million population
mark,” Ms. Vaughan adds,
noting NSP serves residents
across Durham.
“While the numbers of cli-
ents that have been served
by all of our programs con-
tinue to grow, our funding
that we have received for
the NSP program has re-
mained static,” she states.
“The goal of the NSP is
to help newcomers suc-
ceed and have the oppor-
tunity to contribute to all
aspects of life in Ontario,”
Ms. Vaughan says. “Many
of our new residents will be
recent immigrants. It’s our
responsibility to ensure that
all residents in Durham Re-
gion are able to be actively
engaged in the broad spec-
trum of community life.”
In 2006, about 126,000 im-
migrants settled in Ontario,
about half of all immigrants
who came to Canada.

Civic award
recipients honoured
for volunteerism
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
AJAX — Thursday was a banner day for
Jake Stevens.
The Grade 12 student learned he’s been
accepted into the concurrent education pro-
gram at Brock University. And, he was the
recipient of the 2007 Ajax Civic Award in the
youth category.
Joining him as a recipient in the adult cat-
egory was Veronica Vernon.
Mr. Stevens, 19, has been volunteer-
ing with the special education program at
Pickering High School for the past two years
and plans to be a special education teacher
after university.
He was nominated by his teachers, who
stated in nomination papers, “he has genu-
ine interest in the exceptional students of
these classes and has developed a strong
rapport with his peers, students in the class,
staff and parents.
“Students in the Special Education class
have a wide range of developmental and
physical abilities that require specific and
unique educational goals,” the teachers
added.
Jake’s dedication to each student’s unique-
ness and success is evident in his initiative.
He chose to enrol in an American Sign Lan-
guage class so that he could better commu-
nicate with several non-verbal students in
the class. He respects and takes great care
to protect the dignity of each child and he
has helped to create an encouraging envi-
ronment where all students feel safe to suc-
ceed.”
In his acceptance speech, Mr. Stevens said,
“I enjoy spending every single day helping
out with the special education class.
“I found out today I’ve been accepted in
Brock University in the concurrent educa-
tion program. I want to be a special educa-
tion teacher,” Mr. Stevens stated. “I love
spending time with them. They really touch
me.”
Mr. Stevens said he volunteers because, “I
love to do it. It’s my passion. When I make
the kids happy, it makes me happy.”
He began working with the class “as a co-
op student, then I was a lunch-room super-
visor.”
If another student asked him if they should
volunteer, Mr. Stevens would advise, “If you
can get the opportunity, try it. Every single
kid is unique. It’s tremendous to learn how
they view life. I would definitely tell them to
give it a shot.”
Ms. Vernon said in an interview she vol-
unteers “because it gives me joy. It makes
me feel like a celebrity.”
Volunteering is “very important. It’s where
you can do good for others. When you see
the results, it gives you joy inside.”
In her acceptance speech, she said, “I’m
deeply honoured to be the winner of this
great award.”
Ms. Vernon encouraged young people to
get involved in the community.
“I have a vision and I need help to carry
the vision out,” she said.
She was nominated by two friends and
neighbours.
In the nomination papers, they stated,
“with the increased population of Ajax over
the past few years, Veronica identified a
need to provide services for young people
and rather than wait for someone else to
meet those needs, she stepped in herself to
try to make them happen.”
Ms. Vernon has organized a summer
camp, an after-school program, Christmas
Dinner for Youth and a Crime Prevention
Concert.
Ms. Vernon has worked with the Durham
Regional Police, who support her efforts.
As well, students from both J. Clarke Rich-
ardson Collegiate and Notre Dame Catho-
lic Secondary School have volunteered and
earned their community service hours.
Last year, Ms. Vernon was awarded with
a YWCA Durham Woman of Distinction
Award for her community work.
Volunteers thanked
for their efforts
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
AJAX — Before Ajax was even a town,
there were volunteers.
It’s a tradition that continues to the pres-
ent. Last week, about 200 people attended
the Volunteer Recognition Awards Ceremo-
ny at the Ajax Community Centre.
The awards are held annually to honour
those who have made outstanding contribu-
tions to the betterment of the Town.
Good Neighbour Awards were present-
ed to Caroline Trebilcock, June Castanha,
Douglas Miller and Charlie Patane.
“As a volunteer, the most important thing
is giving, not getting,” said Mr. Miller, who
has been involved with Big Brothers and
Sisters of Ajax-Pickering for 14 years. “See-
ing the faces at the Big Brothers’ Christmas
party is reason enough to volunteer.”
Ajax Optimist Club youth award recipients
were high school students Stephanie Kirton
of Ajax High School, Richard Downing of
Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High
School, Jenees Jegatheeswaran of J. Clarke
Richardson Collegiate, William Grecia of
Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School and
Carly Stacey of Pickering High School.
Community Awards were presented to
Lynda Piccione (arts and culture), Balliram
Chadee (diversity and community engage-
ment), Lori McQuillen (community safety),
Donna Andrechuk (heritage), John Jelliman
(recreation, adult), and Joshua Crawford
(recreation, youth).
Don Terry, the public affairs director at
the Pickering nuclear station, was the guest
speaker.
“The efforts of volunteers contribute to
every aspect of our social infrastructure,” Mr.
Terry stated. “The contribution of volunteers
such as yourselves is what makes the com-
munity we live in such a great place. Thank
you for your efforts.”
A long-time volunteer, Mr. Terry is the
president of the Ajax-Pickering Board of
Trade, is involved with the United Way and
is a Big Brother to Ryan. He’s also coached
sports teams and helped raise millions of
dollars for charities over the years.
Growing up in Ajax, Mr. Terry said his life
was “touched by volunteers. I hope each of
you realize the impact you have on the lives
of others.”
Mr. Terry said he’s often asked why he
volunteers so much.
“I blame my parents,” he said, noting his
mother would collect second-hand cloth-
ing.
“With hands crippled with arthritis, she
sewed buttons on them” and the items were
given to shelters.
“My dad worked two or three jobs, but he
still managed to find the time to volunteer,”
he noted. “The world needs more givers
than takers. I met my wife through volun-
teering and it doesn’t get any better than
that.”
He and his wife Sharon have four children
and “we want to set a good example so they
can add to the legacy built by their grand-
parents. “Simply accepting the status quo is
not acceptable,” Mr. Terry added.
Statistics show that 11 per cent of Cana-
dians do 77 per cent of the volunteering, he
noted. “So we need more givers. All of you
know how much is accomplished by volun-
teers.”
Most people don’t volunteer “because no
one asked them to.
“Let’s make our community better by
growing the number of volunteers, growing
the number of givers.”
Ajax honours those who give instead of take
‘I love to do it.
It’s my passion’

The Knight’s Quest comes to Pickering Village
PICKERING — If you’re looking
for Prince Charming, you may be in
luck with Backwoods Players’ show,
‘The Knight’s Quest’.
The short medieval romp is di-
rected by Sandy Lloyd and adapted
by Julie Oakes and Angela Steyn
from Chaucer’s ‘The Wife of Bath
Tale’. King Arthur has sent Sir Ga-
wain on a seemingly impossible
quest to discover the answer to the
question, What do women want?
For a year and a day he roams the
land meeting people who help him
along the way and fighting off ma-
rauding beasts. He can only succeed
in his quest with help from the audi-
ence.
‘The Knight’s Quest’ will be per-
formed three times on Sunday, May
25 during Steam Up at the Pickering
Museum Village. It will also be per-
formed at Artfest on the Esplanade
on Saturday, May 24 between 11
a.m. and 5 p.m.
Pickering Museum Village is lo-
cated three kilometres east of Brock
Road, on the south side of Hwy. 7,
just west of Westney Road.
Backwoods Players is always
looking for production volunteers
as well as actors. New people are
welcome.

Senior ‘B’ lacrosse
team struggles
to score against
Norwood, Wellington
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — It all comes down
to putting the ball in the net, and
the Ajax-Pickering Rock came
up woefully short offensively in
their opening weekend of OLA
senior ‘B’ play.
The Rock’s anemic offence
earned them a goose egg in the
w in column, losing its season
opener 7-4 in Norwood to the
Nitro on Friday night. Then,
in their home opener at the
Pickering Recreation Complex
against the Wellington Aces on
Saturday, the Rock fell 8-4.
Eight goals in two games won’t
get it done on most nights in
w hat’s generally viewed as a
high-scoring league. Rock head
coach Paul St. John recognizes
this, but notes he has faith his
roster of mainly first-year play-
ers just needs more seasoning
before the ball starts finding the
back of the net with some regu-
larity.
“We’re a young club and an
exciting club, if we can score
some goals,” he explains. “For six
years we’ve been trying to score
enough goals. I just loved the
effort. We’re going to grow as a
team. It’s hard to be 0-2, but I’m
confident we’re going to grow
into a good club.”
The Rock’s offensive struggles
continued on Saturday, despite a
number of solid scoring chances.
Most of those opportunities were
generated by starting goaltender
Mike Miron — easily the best
player for the home team — who
sent long, lead transition passes
to put Rock players in the clear
on numerous occasions.
Aces’ goaltender Josh Agar,
however, shut the door on every
one.
“Mike played real well. We’re
a run-and-gun team and Mike
put the ball up
there a few
times and
we dropped
some of the
passes,” notes
St. John.
In addi-
tion to being
scoring chal-
lenged, the
Rock also suf-
fered through
a plodding start that saw the
Aces get up 3-0 in the first period
and increase that advantage to
5-0 midway through the second.
The opening frame was marked
by a goal just 24 seconds into the
game and the Aces’ third goal
coming with just 0.9 seconds re-
maining in the period.
The Rock chipped the lead
down to 5-3 late in the second
period before Wellington took
control again, scoring its sixth
goal with 51.8 seconds remain-
ing in the frame.

brother, John Veltman, who played with the Rock last season, may still
return to the team this season. “He wants to play and he would bring a lot
of experience to the back end (defence),” says St. John...In addition to
Jim Veltman, the Rock lost a number of veteran players who’ve retired

Veltman returns to
Rock, but this time
behind the bench
Long-time NLL pro enters
new chapter in lacrosse career
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Jim Veltman is back with the
Ajax-Pickering Rock.
But, the recently retired National Lacrosse
League player, who spent 15 seasons in the
league, the last nine with the Toronto Rock, will
not be in an Ajax-Pickering Rock uniform either.
The Canadian lacrosse icon will, however, be
behind the bench with the Ontario Lacrosse As-
sociation senior ‘B’ squad this season.
Veltman, 42, has signed on as an assistant
coach with Ajax-Pickering, patrolling the bench
alongside six-year head coach Paul St. John last
weekend in league games in Norwood and at the
Pickering Recreation Complex against the Wel-
lington Aces.
The four-year captain of the Ajax-Pickering
Rock says knowledge of the players and coaches
played a big role in returning as a coach.
“I have a certain comfort level here. I like
(Rock owner) Rob Roche and Paul St. John. I like
the way they run things. I never told them that I
was interested, but I approached them because I
wanted the right situation for myself. I’m enter-
ing a new chapter in my life and I want to learn
in an environment I’m comfortable with and this
is it,” says Veltman, who’s nicknamed ‘Scoop’
for his penchant for snagging loose balls on the
lacrosse floor.
Roche acknowledged he planted the seed dur-
ing the 2007 season regarding Veltman eventu-
ally taking a coaching position with the club.
He was, however, shocked when Veltman called
prior to the opening weekend of the season.
“It was a surprise,” says Roche. “It’s something
we had talked about a few times, but we hadn’t
talked about it at the end of last season. He called
me and wanted to come back and be an assistant
coach. I talked to Paul and see if he was all right
with it. He was good with it, so it was a pleasant
surprise.”
And, it was also a surprise for St. John, who
welcomed Veltman back to the organization with
open arms.
“Jim Veltman can’t go into retirement quietly,”
quipped St. John after Saturday night’s loss to
Wellington. “He’s going to be such a great men-
tor to the players. I know he’s going to make a
great coach. In the two nights he’s been here,
he’s made a big difference. His knowledge of the
game is tremendous.”
Choosing the Ajax-Pickering Rock to begin
his coaching career — something he’ll continue
with the Toronto Rock as an assistant next season
— was a no-brainer for Veltman. And, although
the Rock lost both its games on the opening
weekend, Veltman is impressed by the calibre of
players on the team.
“It’s the closest team to my (Stouffville) home
and I like the people here,” says Veltman. “I don’t
know the exact numbers, but I think half the
team is new players and I like everything they
bring. We have smart enough players. The chal-
lenge is to compete every night and I like what I
saw this weekend.”
Veltman’s NLL playing days ended on April 27
at the Air Canada Centre when the Toronto Rock
hosted a special Jim Veltman Tribute Night in his
honour. It’s a night he won’t soon forget.
“It’s was tremendous. They put on a real good
show. The Toronto Rock organization is first
class all the way. It was pretty special to be part
of.”
‘I’m entering a new chapter in my life
and I want to learn in an environment I’m
comfortable with and this is it.’
— JIM VELTMAN, THE AJAX-PICKERING ROCK’S
NEW ASSISTANT COACH
The Aces outscored the hosts 2-1 in the final
frame to chalk up their second victory of the
season.
The Rock had only seven returning players -
- Miron, captain Mark Craig, Jordan West-Pratt,
Jaime Lumsden, Ian Harloff, Bill McLean, and
Mike Daley -- in the lineup for Saturday’s home
opener.
Rookie Travis Bland led the way with a goal
and two assists in Saturday’s loss to Wellington.
Craig added a goal and an assist. Brandon La-
forme had the other Rock goal.
Craig netted a hat trick in Friday’s loss to
Norwood. Curtis Travis added a single marker.
The Rock return to league action against the
league-leading Brooklin Merchants (3-0) at the
Luther Vipond Memorial Arena in Brooklin on
Saturday night at 7 p.m.

familiarity with the team and its proximity to his
