Durham to send 17
to visit waste facility
Incineration opponents
say stabilized landfill
may be an alternative
By Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — At least 17 Regional
councillors and staff members will
visit a stabilized landfill in Halifax
later this month at a cost of ap-
proximately $21,000 to Durham
taxpayers.
The trip, slated for June 20, costs
$1,200 per person, including flight,
meals and hotel. In addition to
visiting the Otter Lake Stabilized
Landfill, the group will also go to
two composting facilities and a re-
cycling facility. The Region would
not release the names of coun-
cillors going because the list has
not been finalized, however, staff
confirmed the group consists of 12
councillors and five staff so far.
As well, works committee mem-
bers directed staff to set up an al-
ternative visit for councillors who
cannot attend on June 20. This
may include some Oshawa coun-
cillors who will be visiting an etha-
nol plant in Sarnia on the same
day.
Some staff and council mem-
bers have already visited stabilized
landfills on their fact-finding trip
to Europe last summer when they
looked at energy-from-waste fa-
cilities.
Since then, however, stabilized
landfill has been raised as an alter-
native to the incinerator proposed
for Clarington.
“If this is the only one in North
America and they’re saying it
works, we should look at it,” said
Regional Chairman Roger Ander-
son.
Given the Region has a no new
landfill policy, Mr. Anderson said
it’s fair to say stabilized landfill is
not an option on the table right
now. He said, however, since the
site-specific health assessment for
the incinerator has not been com-
pleted yet, there’s still a possibil-
ity the energy-from-waste facility
won’t be approved.
“Who knows, maybe the process
they have in Halifax is something
we can implement in Brock,” he
said, referring to the Brock Town-
ship Landfill, though he added
that was unlikely. He cautioned
that anyone advocating it in Dur-
ham should be prepared to build
one in one of the Region’s com-
munities.
Stabilized landfills differ from
traditional ones in that the waste
is treated before it’s landfilled.
After garbage bags arrive at the
Otter Lake facility, they’re broken
open and inspected. Then, it’s me-
chanically sorted to remove clean
recyclables, metal and hazardous
materials. According to the City
of Halifax’s website, however, the
LIKE TRYING TO CATCH A CLOUD

Region’s radar

majority of the recyclables are landfilled
because they’re contaminated. Then, the
waste is biologically treated and the organ-
ics, including kitchen waste, decomposes for
18 to 21 days.
The remaining waste is dried out and
landfilled. Of the 155,000 tonnes of waste
accepted each year at the facility, 135,000
tonnes is landfilled.
In Durham, it’s the residents that separate
the recyclables and organics from the trash
before it’s collected.
Oshawa Coun. April Cullen said she’s
been asking for the trip for almost a year
and plans to go.
“I wanted to go because I want to see some
alternatives to incineration and traditional
landfill,” she said. “I know this particular
landfill is probably not the most pleasant
one and I want to ask them what they would
have done differently.”
Coun. Cullen said she’d like to know if
there would be a problem with smell and
methane if the food garbage was eliminated
before it went to the landfill.
At this week’s works committee meeting,
Pickering Coun. Rick Johnson challenged
the councillors visiting the Otter Lake facility
to visit the Brampton incinerator as well.
“I’m having great frustration with mem-
bers of council who are not supporting en-
ergy-from-waste that aren’t doing their due
diligence,” he said.
Coun. Cullen said she’d visit the Bramp-
ton plant, but cautioned the visits should
be fact-finding missions and not political
games.
“I’m not interested in playing the political
game, but I would be interested in learning
anything I can,” she said, adding councillors
are doing their due diligence by visiting the
Halifax facility.
At the works committee meeting, Clar-
ington councillor and committee chairman
Charlie Trim said all four Clarington local
councillors had been invited to go on the
trip, but they declined.

Honouring a fallen hero
OSHAWA — People line the Front Street bridge as the motorcade carrying the remains of Captain Richard
(Steve) Leary makes its way to Toronto along the Highway of Heroes on Friday afternoon. Cpt. Leary died in
combat in Afghanistan.
By Jillian Follert
and Melissa Mancini
newsroom@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA — Chris Buckley
and his team returned from
Detroit to a hero’s welcome
Friday afternoon, despite
bringing back bad news.
Members of Canadian
Auto Workers (CAW) union
Local 222 gathered around
their president and chanted
his name as he pulled up
in front of General Motors
headquarters in a made-in-
Oshawa truck
NDP leader Jack Layton
was also there to greet him.
“On behalf of the lot of
you, we reminded them of
the terrible decision they
have made,” Mr. Buckley
said, describing the meet-
ing he and his fellow union
leaders had with General
Motors officials in Detroit
early Friday morning.
“Our trucks are going to
Mexico and that’s a God-
damn disgrace,” Mr. Buckley
shouted. The Local 222 pres-
ident addressed hundreds of
CAW members gathered out-
side GM headquarters for a
third day of protests against
this week’s announcement
that the company will close
Oshawa’s truck plant in
2009.
The CAW contingent had
gone to Detroit to convince
the company to reverse its
decision or even suspend it
so talks could take place.
The answer from GM was
a flat-out no.
The decision to close the
plant will mean about 2,600
workers will lose their jobs.
The question on the
minds of many union mem-
bers is what comes now -
- especially as rumours of a
wildcat strike circulated in
the plants.
Mr. Buckley said phase
two of the fight is in the
works but refused to be more
specific.
An announcement was
expected sometime Satur-
day morning after the News
Advertiser’s deadline.
The Local 222 president
said his members have a
collective agreement at this
time, which would make a
strike illegal. However, he
also said he isn’t ruling any-
thing out.
Keith Osborne, GM plant
chairman for Local 222, was
a little more candid.
“I’m not going to advocate
a work stoppage but I’ll tell
you what, if it happens I’m
behind you 110 per cent,”
he said, adding later, “we’ve
done all the legal stuff but
sometimes you have to get
a little illegal to get stuff
done.”
Local 222 members
started gathering near GM
headquarters at 4 a.m. on
Wednesday, creating a bar-
ricade across the street to
prevent GM workers from
reaching their offices. Only
employees of the nearby
Minacs office were allowed
through.
GM corporate employees
have been working from
home ever since and the
protest has now taken up
residence outside the head-
quarters building.
“They want their build-
ing back and they’re not
getting their building back,”
Mr. Buckley said. He said the
protest will continue indefi-
nitely, encouraging union
members to keep numbers
up this weekend and bring
out their friends and neigh-
bours.
NDP MP Peggy Nash said
the fight should go beyond
that, extending to the entire
country.
“If we cannot defend the
best of manufacturing jobs,
what about all the other
manufacturing jobs?” she
asked. “Your struggle is a
struggle on behalf of Cana-
da.”
The protest started
Wednesday as a sombre
gathering but has slowly
been gathering intensity and
was as hot as the 38-degree
weather by Friday after-
noon.
Participants screamed
“shame!” and “traitor!” as
speakers at the podium men-
tioned local Conservative
MPs Jim Flaherty and Colin
Carrie, and screamed their
approval when Mr. Osborne
suggested Mr. Carrie “take
your old Honda Civic and
get the hell out of town.”
Neither local MP has vis-
ited the protest site.

A night for graduates
Union intends
to file grievances
against public
school board
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — A group of
educational assistants are
upset they’ll be making less
money in the next school
year.
About 50 people showed
up at the Durham District
School Board’s June 3 draft
budget meeting to ask the
finance committee to re-
consider 18 job reclassi-
fications for educational
assistants (EA). The status
change from EA2 to EA1
comes with an $11,800 per
year salary reduction.
“We will be filing griev-
ances,” said Marion Moore,
chairwoman for CUPE
Local 218, educational as-
sistants bargaining unit, in
an interview following the
meeting.
The meeting featured
presentations by three EA2s
and Ms. Moore.
In April, EA2s were given
a wage increase to recog-
nize the difference in their
position compared to EA1s.
Prior to that, the salary dif-
ference was less than $1 an
hour, Ms. Moore said. She
doesn’t believe the employ-
er has lived up to the terms
of the collective agreement.
EA2s have a degree in
education or psychology,
or a certificate as a child
and youth worker, said
Doug Crichton, superinten-
dent of special education.
An EA1 has a minimum
qualification of Grade 12.
In their role, an EA2 deals
with students with the high-
est behavioural needs and
provides behavioural pro-
gramming to the classroom.
Monitoring and correcting
behaviour is done by an
EA1.
A system review identified
19 EA2s in schools where
they weren’t required and
one school that had one less
than it needed - bringing the
number of reclassifications
to 18 effective this Septem-
ber, Mr. Crichton said.
“These positions become
EA positions so the num-
ber of EAs in the system
is the same,” Mr. Crichton
said. “The level of service
and support for students
with special needs is main-
tained.”
Angela Cameron, a Dur-
ham EA2 of three years
and a single mother, said
she applauded the school
board when it recognized
her position and education
through a previous job eval-
uation process, which came
with a wage increase.
“But your actions you
have taken suggest you re-
ally were opposed to that
recognition,” Ms. Cameron
said to the finance commit-
tee.
“You want our expertise,
but you don’t want to pay
us for what we’re worth.
Shame on you.”
If demoted to an EA1
classification and salary,
she said she’ll be unable
to make her mortgage pay-
ment.
The finance committee
meets again on June 10 at 6
p.m. in the Education Cen-
tre at Taunton Road and An-
derson Street in Whitby to
consider and recommend
the budget for board ap-
proval.

More b ike racks needed
in front of businesses
To the editor:
I have recently purchased a new bike
to run around and do shopping, errands,
etc., to cut back on the car usage and
get some exercise. The problem is there
are very, very few places to chain up a
bike when you go into the stores, even in
stores that sell bicycles.
I think if we are to become a more
responsible society, businesses need to
install bicycle racks so we can secure our
bicycles.
I’m sure this would help people make
the decision to ride instead of drive. I’d
like the opportunity to ride around but
I’m not going to if I can’t secure my bike.
I don’t want to take the financial hit. To
have your bicycle or any personal belong-
ing stolen is frustrating, inconvenient and
maddening.

I ’ve started taking horseback-riding
lessons. Although those of us in the

“riding” lessons. Why? For the same
arcane reason I would never call Judy my
horseback riding instructor. If I want to be
cool and possibly score an invitation back
to Chas and Lauren’s place for a gin and
tonic after polo, I have learned to casually
refer to her as my riding instructor.

sit atop a seven-foot high, 1,200 pound
animal, even more important are those
bits of curricula not found in the text-
books. Those vital do’s and don’ts one can
pick up only by watching and listening.
And believe me, a misstep in this area can
be every bit as painful as being thrown
from the saddle. Nothing smarts like a
bruised ego.
Luckily for me, my wife is a rider of some
experience and she is more than happy to
point out my gaffs on such occasions.
For instance, one of the first things
we riders learn to do, even before leap-
ing aboard Old Thunder, is to clean the
horse’s hooves. This involves holding the
animal’s often wet, often mucky, often
manure-laden foot in one hand while
scraping off the aforementioned guck with
a pick. After a couple of weeks of getting
my dainty actors’ hands all dirty doing
this, I decided to pop into a tack shop and
pick myself up a handsome pair of butter-
soft, doeskin roping gloves. Just the ticket,
I thought, for keeping the hands clean.
Plus, I imagined, it’ll surely only be anoth-
er lesson or two before we cover roping,
branding and perhaps shooting from the
saddle. I’ll want to be prepared.
Tickled with my purchase and not a
little flushed with how cool I would look
with my new gloves on, I showed my
wife. When she eventually was able to see
again through her tears of laughter, she
pointed out to me that gloves were a no-
no. Wearing gloves to riding lessons, she
made it clear, was akin to showing up to
your first golf lesson with a caddie in tow
or in-line skating with a full-face Bell hel-
met. It spelled doofus in bold letters.
Since I have started my riding lessons,
my wife has been laughing a lot. She’s
really enjoying herself. Good thing for me
she happens to love doofuses. Still, I can’t
help myself. For the same reasons that I
became an actor and a writer, I cannot put
a pair of cowboy boots on and not want to
act and talk like a cowboy.
It took some of Suzanne’s very best
scowls to get me to stop swaggering. And
believe me, I had to muster every ounce
of self-discipline in my body to purchase
a proper riding helmet and not a totally
cool black Stetson with silver braid on it.
If they’d sold pearl-handled six-shooters
I’d have maxed out my credit card. That
would’ve been a tough return; “Um, my
wife says I can’t have these.”
One of the benefits of learning new
things, of going outside our comfort zones
is that if we happen to be riding one, we
must get off our high horse for a while.
We must shelve the ego. Sometimes dif-
ficult, but good for us. Plus, it’s an endless
source of amusement for our spouses.
And laughter, they say, is good for a mar-
riage.

writer, saves some of his best lines for his col-
umns.

Cool heads order of the day when bear came to city
Police, ministry officers
handled situation well
D urham police and ministry of
natural resources officers are to be
congratulated for the happy reso-
lution when the wilderness came to the
City last week.
A black bear wandered into Pickering
late last Tuesday, with several sightings
by residents in the Pine Creek Park area.
Students at two nearby schools were kept
inside at the end of the day Wednesday
and residents were on alert when police
cornered the bruin west of the Pickering
Town Centre. Ministry officers then took
over and a tranquilizing dart put the bear
to sleep. He was then transported north of
the GTA and released.
If this were a Hollywood thriller, the bear
would be portrayed as a raging beast on
the hunt for people.
The truth is much less dramatic. The
bear likely just took a wrong turn north of
the city, eventually following Pine Creek
until he was in the heart of Pickering.
Stressed out and tired, he definitely didn’t
want to be here, ministry biologist John
Pisapio said.
Black bears are omnivores that eat grass,
nuts, berries, insects and meat, but little
of the latter. Intelligent and curious crea-
tures, they are to be respected and given a
wide berth. When person and bear meet
in the wild, the bear often makes a run for
it, an impressive sight when you consider
how fast they can move over rough terrain.
Hence the oft-repeated and wise maxim:
DON’T RUN IF YOU ENCOUNTER A
BEAR! You’ll never outrun one.
Still, every bear is different and there’s
no guarantee it will run from you. Visit the
ministry’s website for more information
on encounters.
Given that the bear was in a populated
area, including near a couple of schools,
officers on the ground could have over-
reacted and attempted to kill the animal.
After all, this was no cub but a three- or
four-year-old male weighing an estimated
200 lbs.
Instead, police recognized there was no
immediate danger to anybody, kept in
close contact with the school board, con-
tained the animal as best as they could,
and waited until ministry officials could
arrive. Mr. Pisapio tranquilized the bear
and it was caged. The bear was given the
tranquilizer antidote and time to wake
up before being transported, for its own
safety. As an added bonus, residents in the
area had the rare opportunity of seeing the
animal up close. Perhaps, in the process, it
helped dispel a few myths about bears.
Kudos to the police and ministry officers
for providing a picture-perfect ending to
this story.

‘huge new
tax on
g asoline’
no help
By Parvaneh Pessian
ppessian@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA — The deci-
sions by General Motors
to shut down the Oshawa
truck plant in 2009 has
erupted into a political
cross-fire.
Finance Minister Jim
Flaherty is taking heat for
comments he made in
February when he blamed
Ontario’s economic diffi-
culties on the Liberal gov-
ernment’s high business
taxes.
Although the minister’s
press secretary claims the
statement was taken out
of context, opposition par-
ties have come forward
demanding an explana-
tion.
Speaking to the crowd
at the blockade Thursday
morning, Federal finance
critic John McCallum
called Mr. Flaherty’s com-
ments “irresponsible” and
said discouraging inves-
tors to invest in Ontario
directly influenced GM’s
decision to close the plant.
Mr. McCallum also reiter-
ated Liberal leader Sté-
phane Dion’s call Wednes-
day that the finance minis-
ter should step down.
In a far cry from Wednes-
day’s appearance of On-
tario NDP leader Howard
Hampton, which garnered
a warm welcome from
protesters, Mr. McCallum
faced angry questioning.
In response, he said he
doesn’t agree with the cur-
rent government’s laissez-
faire approach to protect-
ing manufacturing jobs
and said his party sup-
ports adequate retraining
for laid-off employees.
Later on Thursday in Ot-
tawa, Mr. McCallum criti-
cized Mr. Flaherty for not
attending the Oshawa pro-
test, despite the evident
disappointment of people
in his own riding and said
they were “shocked he was
not there.”
He went on to express
disapproval for Prime
Minister Stephen Harper’s
reference to the plant clos-
ing as a one-time event,
instead calling him a “se-
rial killer of manufactur-
ing jobs.”
Mr. Flaherty responded
by calling Mr. McCallum’s
visit to the GM headquar-
ters condescending to the
people of Oshawa and
highlighted the Liberal
opposition’s proposal for
a “huge new tax on gaso-
line” that he said won’t
help the auto sector.
Mr. Flaherty said the
federal government plans
to work with General Mo-
tors and union workers to
put money from the Au-
tomotive Innovation Fund
towards technologically
innovative ways to im-
prove the auto sector in
Canada.
During question period
in Ottawa Wednesday, Mr.
Flaherty assured Canadi-
ans there are still good-
paying jobs available in
the country and attacked
the Liberals for casting
Canada’s economy in a
bad light.
“The opposition seems
to take pleasure out of the
fact that in manufacturing,
particularly in the auto
sector, we’re having a sig-
nificant downturn and a
significant restructuring.”

Be firm, fair and c onsistent 13
BY DANIELLE HARDER
There are many good reasons to try to
eat together as a family once a day. It’s a
chance to slow down, connect and share
everyone’s day.
Increasingly, research is also showing
family meals are better for children’s
physical, emotional and mental health.
According to a study published last
month, families who eat together may have
healthier kids in the long term.
The fi ndings, which appear in the Jour-
nal of the American Dietetic Association,
suggest children who connect with their
parents at mealtimes are more likely to
have a healthier diet as young adults.
The study followed 1,700 teenagers for
fi ve years and found those who ate the most
meals with their families tended to eat bet-
ter as they got older, including eating more
fruits and vegetables.
This new research bolsters previous
studies that found children who share a
meal with family several times a week are
less likely to smoke, drink alcohol, use
drugs or become sexually active.
They also tend to do better academically
and have better mental health.
Unfortunately, while science suggests
families make more attempts to eat togeth-
er, economic forces are working against
them. According to Statistics Canada,
workers spend an average of 45 minutes
less per day with family members in 2005
than they did 20 years earlier.
The length of the workday has also ex-
panded, cutting into what was traditionally
the family dinnertime. On average, Cana-
dians now work about 30 minutes longer
each day than they did a generation ago.
Exacerbating the meal crunch is simply
the fast-paced and full lives of many fami-
lies today. Children are often involved in
more extra-curricular activities and have
more homework to get through each night,
than their parents did as kids.
So, what to do?
Start by doing some ‘investment’ cook-
ing: double a meal one night and freeze
half for later or set aside one afternoon
on the weekend to cook several meals that
can be tucked away in the freezer for busy
nights.
Next, save yourself time by purchasing
pre-cut vegetables. Yes, they cost more but
you’re more likely to use them and less
likely to be pitching out brown broccoli
next week. Even onions – the most dreaded
of kitchen chores – are available pre-
chopped and frozen. A simple meal, such as
bean burritos, can be whipped up in under
half an hour.
The family meal
s
till matters
MAKE IT A TRADITION Sitting down each day for a family meal, whether it be breakfast or dinner, still
holds a lot of value and importance for you and your children.
Leadership in
education
What does it mean to be a leader? In
today’s world we recognize that a real
leader is a person of action and compas-
sion, vision and insight, initiative and
responsibility.
At Trinity College School, the com-
munity recently undertook a long-term
planning exercise to understand how
they can best prepare students to be
leaders – leaders in their local and global
communities, leaders within the school
and, most importantly, leaders within
their own lives.
As a result of this community-wide
planning initiative, Trinity College
School has adopted a new mission
statement: developing habits of the
heart and mind for a life of purpose
and service. This statement refl ects
their understanding that true success

More than 40
classrooms
participated in
character-building
project
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — ‘Nobody’
started off with nothing, but
the good deeds of students
have given it eyes, clothes,
and an identity.
On Wednesday night,
students from 27 schools
gathered in the Durham
District School Board’s Ed-
ucation Centre to celebrate
and showcase ‘Who is No-
body?’, a character educa-
tion project that occurred
in 40 classrooms, including
Erin Mattes’.
“This is ‘Nobody’, a jean
doll that wants us to teach
him to help people around
the world,” said Erin, a
Grade 2 student at Sir Sam-
uel Steele Public School in
Whitby.
The project begins with
a nondescript doll that gets
clothing and other objects
added to it to represent the
good deeds from each stu-
dent.
“I helped the people that
had no food or no toys by
sending stuff to where they
live,” said Keira Estrela, one
of Erin’s classmates. She
showed off some of the ar-
ticles students added to the
doll.
“He has trees to help stop
junk mail, he has a hat from
donating clothes,” Keira
said.
“He has a bracelet and a
card for donating to breast
cancer,” Erin said.
For the project, each stu-
dent took the doll home for
a week, then shared with
the class how they helped
‘Nobody’, Keira said.
“I went trick or treating to
help raise money for a food
allergy,” Erin said. “I think
it gave us a great chance
to make a difference in the
world.”
“I think it’s good because
now we know how it feels
to help the other people,”
Keira said.
Teacher Cheryl Singer-
Coulson was one of six to
initially pilot the project in
the Durham District School
Board. Since then, she’s
made presentations to the
board and provided in-ser-
vices to other interested
teachers.
“I love character build-
ing, I think it’s an essential
part of education,” said Ms.
Singer-Coulson, a Grade 2
teacher at West Lynde Pub-
lic School in Whitby.
‘Who is Nobody?’ allows
students to pursue their
own interests. Kids did ev-
erything from gardening
and yard pick-up, to send-
ing Valentine’s treats to
battered women in Denise
House.
“It really introduced
them to a lot of social as-
pects they don’t know about
or maybe they do,” said Ms.
Singer-Coulson.
A boy in her class did his
project on the Children’s
Aid Society, where he and
his brother were adopted
from. Her class’s ‘Nobody’
included a necklace of pop
tabs for wheelchairs, a dog
collar for the Humane So-
ciety, and pennies for Free
the Children.
“Every 3D item repre-
sents projects from the class
so your ‘Nobody’ becomes
somebody because what
you’ve done,” Ms. Singer-
Coulson said.
Her husband, Richard
Coulson, did the project
with his Grade 11 outdoor
education class at Eastdale
Collegiate Vocational Insti-
tution. The high school is
the only one in Durham in-
volved.
The students did it mostly
on their own time and par-
ticipated in things such as
a cancer walk, supporting
pandas, and cleaning up
Lakeview Park.
“It made them feel good
to help others,” said Mr.
Coulson.
The Durham ‘Who is No-
body?’ project received sup-
port from the Whitby area,
and the Rotary Clubs of
Whitby, Oshawa and Ajax.

Minister says all
rules were followed
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
AJAX — Residents living near
Pickering Village United Church are
upset over a telephone tower, an “eye-
sore” they weren’t told about.
But the minister at the church said
all legal requirements were followed
and the Town agreed to the site.
Ed Fong lives behind the church, on
Church Street north of Hwy. 2, and said
the tower is 105 feet (35 metres) high.
“I spoke to the neighbours and no-
body received any communication
about it,” Mr. Fong said.
“I feel like I’m in Florida and looking
at Cape Canaveral,” he said. “It’s a real
eyesore.”
He’ll have to “look out the window
and see it every day for the rest of my
life,” Mr. Fong said. “It looks like a
rocket ship coming out of someone’s
roof top.”
Such towers are usually along high-
ways, a “spot more ideally to put this
thing,” he said.
He searched through the church’s
website and found out it is receiving
$6,000 a year from the company.
“It’s a funny way of saying thanks to
the community,” Mr. Fong said. “It’s
complete disrespect. They sold us out.
They sold out the community for 6,000
bucks.”
There was no communication or
consultation with the community, he
said.
Reverend David Jones said Bell Mo-
bility approached the church last year
about putting up the tower.
“They wanted a site that had the el-
evation but was effective for the tower,”
he said, noting there needed to be
enough space at the base so it could be
serviced.
As of Jan. 1, 2008, municipal ap-
proval is needed before towers can
be erected. Before that date, Industry
Canada was responsible for approving
the towers.
The reverend wasn’t aware of neigh-
bours being upset about the tower.
“It was left in the hands of Ajax and
Bell.” The Town was “more than told.
A site plan application was filed. The
Town made recommendations and the
recommendations were agreed to. In
January, it gave its support,” Rev. Jones
said. Throughout the entire process,
the municipality “was fully involved.”
He wouldn’t discuss how much
money the church is receiving, saying
“it’s a private contract. It’s a small per-
centage of our income, but it’s helpful.”
The reverend doesn’t see the tower as
an eyesore.
“I see it as a help to the community,”
he said, noting cell phones and other
wireless devices couldn’t work without
transmission towers.
Congregation members have teen-
age sons and daughters they want to
keep in contact with, especially if they
are out at night.
“People in Ajax are aware they’re at
the fringe of service. They don’t have
cell phones unless they have antenna.
He admitted more public consulta-
tion could have taken place, but said,
“Bell and the Town were fully involved.
All the legal requirements were made.”

PICKERING — Pickering does more than
just talk about its sustainable initiatives, and
that’s what helped the City win a prestigious
award last weekend, says a Pickering City
councillor.
“Our way: talk a little bit and do a little bit,”
Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson said
in an interview.
Pickering was named Canada’s leading
municipality in sustainable planning for
2008 at the Federation of Canadian Munici-
palities’ (FCM) 71st Annual Conference and
Municipal Expo. The Quebec City conference
was from May 29 to June 2 and honoured
Pickering with the CH2M HILL Sustainable
Community Award, which recognizes plan-
ning - or a municipality’s long-term vision
- that demonstrates environmental excel-
lence. All members of council and Mayor
Dave Ryan accepted the award before 2,100
conference delegates. The mayor said in a
press release the City is thrilled and hon-
oured for its reward.
“Being recognized as one of the country’s
foremost sustainability leaders will empow-
er the City to reach out and engage a broader
and more diverse audience with our sustain-
ability message,” he said. “We embarked on
this journey to become the most sustain-
able community in North America, and this
award affirms the progress we are making.”
Coun. Dickerson agrees.
“It’s the only award given for that,” he said.
“We hope it spurs us on to maybe get a few
more.”
He, along with Ward 1 City Coun. Jennifer
O’Connell and Ward 3 City Coun. David
Pickles, sits on the Sustainable Pickering
Advisory Committee and, all three are deter-
mined to help Pickering remain a leader in
sustainability. All three also believe both the
federal and provincial governments have to
provide more funding for sustainable initia-
tives.
Pickering called Canada’s leading sustainable planning community

AJAX — Trains have inspired Donald
Wiedman to push bicycling.
The Toronto cyclist came up with the GO-
by-Bike to Ajax idea from a similar initiative
offered by Via Rail last year.
GO-by-Bike encourages Torontonians to
take the GO train to Ajax and then ride trails
west back into the city.
It runs to Aug. 17.
As an avid cyclist, he wants to promote the
activity. As a parent, he wants to see more
cycling trails.
His eight-year-old daughter Charlotte is
too old to cycle on sidewalks but “I don’t
want her on roads,” Mr. Wiedman said.
The campaign kicked off on Wednesday
in Toronto and Ajax when Mr. Wiedman
and Charlotte were joined by Ajax Mayor
Steve Parish, Toronto City Councillor Adrian
Heaps and officials from GO Transit, Dur-
ham Tourism, the Trans Canada Trail and
the Waterfront Regeneration Trust.
Mr. Wiedman met Mayor Parish last year
and thought the mayor could help promote
the initiative. He also left a message with GO
managing director and CEO Gary McNeil
and worried they would “push the delete”
button.
“I wanted it to happen. I wondered why
Europe has it and why don’t we have it here,”
he said.
“GO sees itself as a partner in an inter-
modal transportation system. You can bring
your bike on GO during off-peak hours,”
said Jennifer Niece, a transportation planner
with GO.
“I thought it was a great opportunity to
share what Ajax has to offer. We’re excited to
be the host community,” said Luisa DaRo-
cha, the manager of economic development
for Ajax.
Most of the focus has been on the water-
front trail, but she said Ajax has more than
80 kilometres of trails.
During the kick-off ceremony at the Ajax
GO station, Mr. Wiedman said once he had
the plan “all I need to do is get it done.
“I hope it’s not just the summer of the bi-
cycle, but the decade of the bicycle and the
millennium of the bicycle,” he said.
“Ajax is really committed to cycling and
the environment,” Mayor Parish said. “We
have the greatest waterfront trail in the
GTA.
Cycling is “an alternative transportation
method, especially as gas reaches $1.30,
$1.50, $2,” the mayor said. “It has tremen-
dous tourism potential.”
The City is “building the first permanent
storage station at Union Station,” Coun.
Heaps said.
“We use to correlate cycling with rec-
reation. As transportation, we haven’t ac-
cepted that yet.
“Cycling is not just recreation. It’s a viable
method of transportation,” he said, adding
about 950,000 Torontonians ride a bike each
year. “We have to increase the infrastructure
to increase opportunities to use a bike.”
Get GO-ing to Toronto on Ajax trails
Walter Passarella/ News Advertiser photo
Cyclists from Toronto led by Charlotte Wiedman and Donald Wiedman brought their bikes to Ajax
to kick off the ‘Go by bike to Ajax’ promotion. The purpose is to get more bike riders from the
GTA to take GO train to Ajax and explore the bike trails.
Recently, a large Ontario school board released an interesting study.
It seems that students who attend summer classes not only achieve
higher levels of academic skills (reading comprehension, writing and
math) but also develop a positive outlook on school. Most parents (and
classroom teachers) think the opposite is true. Imagine being able to
improve motivation by continuing some formal education programming
throughout the summer.
The reasons why this happens are both simple and complex. Learn-
ing consists of a series of purposeful activities: activities we can control
and direct. Children must learn that it is possible to control and direct their
own learning activities. Often, this is seen as an entirely new idea. Too
many leave this control in the hands of the education system. They feel
that it is their teachers’ responsibility to ‘teach’. They feel that teaching is
active while learning is passive. This unfortunate mind set often carries
over into the summer and winter holidays. If learning is the direct respon-
sibility of the teacher and the classroom, then a vacation from these per-
mits the student to let all responsibility for school and learn-
ing passively drift away. Education suffers and students drift
backwards. They lose the academic gains that they made
during the previous year but, more importantly, they lose their ability and
motivation to problem-solve and integrate information - to learn. As they
drift, they lose self-esteem because they have relinquished control and
direction and have lost key skills and learning strategies.
Remember that school and school-based learning are artifi cially con-
structed ideas. Even with a great teacher and an interesting program, it
is hard enough to get kids interested in problem-solving and clear writing.
Throw in a wind-down month before summer holidays add two months of
mindless holidays and follow this by a ‘ramp-up’ month (September) and
you have an unmotivated and unfocused student. It is no wonder that
kids resent returning to school and see it as an intrusion on their lives.

Back-to-back
LOSSA champs
hope to advance
to quarter-finals
PICKERING — The St. Mary
Catholic Secondary School Mon-
archs are hoping to go further on
the soccer pitch than a year ago at
the provincial championships.
A quarter-final berth is a worthy
goal for the Durham Region cham-
pion squad at the 16-team Ontario
Federation of School Athletic As-
sociations (OFSAA) ‘AAAA’ cham-
pionship
in Ham-
ilton,
which
begins
June 9,
said Scott McDavid, Monarchs’ se-
nior girls’ soccer team co-coach.
“The expectation of going to the
quarter-finals is a reasonable goal.
Anything can happen once you
get to the quarter-finals,” McDavid
said.
And so far this season, the Mon-
archs have been a dominating team
within the Lake Ontario Secondary
School Athletics (LOSSA) league.
With a 9-0-1 record in league and
playoff action this season, the team
has amassed 40 goals, while giving
up only four, with three of those
four goals coming in the LOSSA
quarter-finals, semifinals and fi-
nals.
The defending LOSSA champions
made it two in a row after downing
the second-seeded J. Clarke Rich-
ardson Collegiate Storm 5-1 in the
final played in Whitby last week.
Monarchs’ co-coach Melanie
Cayford hopes the players follow
the blueprint of the LOSSA cham-
pionships at OFSAA, which is to
say they come into each contest
focused, yet loose and calm.
“Our girls usually play best when
they’re calm,” Cayford said follow-
ing last week’s LOSSA final win.
“They usually play at a highly com-
petitive level when their laughing
and having fun. That’s when they’re
the most focused.”
The Monarchs also will need
something approximating the
goal-scoring prowess of Arin King
who was on fire in the LOSSA play-
offs. King scored the winning goal
against the Uxbridge Secondary
School Tigers in the quarter-finals,
and netted three goals in each of
the semifinals and finals.
St. Mary begins play on Mon-
day morning against the WOSSAA
(Western Ontario Secondary School
Athletic Association) champion
A.B. Lucas Vikings of London at 9
a.m. St. Mary plays later that day
against SOSSA (Southern Ontario
Secondary School Association) St.
Paul of Niagara Falls at 1 p.m.
They finish pool play on Tues-
day morning against Holy Names,
South Western Ontario Secondary
School Athletic Association (SWOS-
SAA) No. 2 team, of Windsor, at 9
a.m.
Monarchs’ team members are
Amanda Boyle, Kelly Craig, Kath-
leen Crandles, Briana De Souza,
Kayla De Souza, Karlie Doucette,
Shannon Foster, Shelby Forza,
Chloe Giordano, Chelsea Gordon,
Natalie Guest, Brittany Hughes,

Durham high
school football
realigned
for ’08
LOSSA teams to be
divided into tiers
DURHAM — There will be a new
wrinkle for Durham Region high
school football when it resumes in
the fall.
New to Lake Ontario Secondary
School Athletics (LOSSA) football is
a divisional alignment for the 2008
season to separate school teams into
tiers. In September, the 20 teams in
LOSSA senior football will be di-
vided into two tiers. The 17 junior
teams (Grade 9 and 10) will also be
divided into two tiers.
Competing in Tier 1 senior foot-
ball are: Mazza Division -- Donald
A. Wilson (Whitby), Dunbarton
(Pickering), Eastdale (Oshawa),
Port Perry, Sinclair (Whitby) and
St. Mary (Pickering); Hiron Division
-- Holy Trinity (Courtice), Notre
Dame (Ajax), Pickering High (Ajax),
Paul Dwyer (Oshawa), Pine Ridge
(Pickering) and Uxbridge.
Teams competing in Tier 2 senior
football are: Powers Division -- Ajax
High, Bowmanville (varsity), Brock,
Clarington Central (Bowmanville),
Courtice (varsity), J. Clarke Richard-
son (Ajax), O’Neill (varsity, Oshawa)
and St. Stephen’s (Bowmanville).
The two Tier 1 schools with the
worst combined junior/senior re-
cords would be relegated to Tier
2 in 2009, while the top two Tier
2 schools with the best combined
junior/senior records would move
up to Tier 1 in 2009. Varsity-only
programs will remain in Tier 2.
Correction
AJAX — Naomi Zitt-James won
the gold medal for the Pickering
High School Trojans in the midget
girls’ javelin throw in a throw of 32.81
metres. Zitt-James accomplished the
feat at the OFSAA Central Regional
Track and Field Championships in
Toronto last week while still feeling
the effects of a shoulder injury.
An incorrect result was contained
in a story in Wednesday’s Ajax-
Pickering News Advertiser.
Moreover, she’ll be one of 30 ath-
letes from PHS at the OFSAA Track
and Field Championships in Hamil-
ton this weekend.
The News Advertiser regrets the
error.

Durham Windows
and Doors Brings
Mobile Showroom
To Your Door
Wayne Hutchison brings to
the replacement window and door
business a new and long overdue
feature. It’s a Mobile Showroom
which just may be the only one in
Canada.
“The day is gone when you
carried some brochures and a
sample window to a customer’s
home,” explains Wayne. “So I
obtained a retired North York
Mobile Library truck and installed
interior walls along with all of my
window samples.”
When you call Durham
Windows and Doors for a free
estimate, Wayne will show up
at your door with his Mobile
Showroom which you’ll enter by
way of a sliding patio door.
Inside, displayed on the walls,
are the Vinyl Window Designs
series of vinyl windows which
you’re free to operate and you’ll
discover the many special features
including how they can be cleaned
without going outside.
“After being in this business
for 26 years, I can honestly say
these are the finest windows on
the market,” says Wayne. “They’re
triple sealed to reduce air leakage
and come with heavy duty
hardware.”
All Vinyl Window Designs
windows come with Low E Glass
which filters out the ultraviolet
rays keeping your home cooler in
the summer and eliminate fading
of your curtains, drapes and
furniture.
All of the windows come with
a lifetime warranty on the frame,
hardware and glass.
Wayne would also like his
customers to know that he does
all of the estimates personally,
eliminating the cost of a
salesperson.

Griffith to join
Canadian lifesaving
squad in Germany
PICKERING — A Pickering swim-
mer and longtime lifeguard will rep-
resent Canada on the world stage
this summer.
Alex Griffith of Pickering was one
of 12, young, elite Canadians ap-
pointed to the Canadian team for the
Lifesaving World Championships,
Rescue 2008, in Germany.
The world competition is in Berlin
and Warnemunde from July 21 to
Aug. 2.
Griffith was chosen after several
events across Canada in the pool
and at waterfront venues. He com-
peted in March 2008 to become Ca-
nadian champion in the 16-19 year
age group, placing first overall and
making him the youngest member of
this elite team.
Griffith returned home in May
from his studies at Adelphi Univer-
sity in Long Island, N.Y., where he
swims for the Adelphi Panthers.
The Dunbarton High School grad-
uate had previously been a member
of the Pickering Swim Club.
Now home, he begins the gruelling
training preparing for the games in
July.
When not training, he works serv-
ing the community as a lifeguard
for the Toronto Police Services on
Toronto Island.
The Lifesaving World Champion-
ships are sanctioned by the Inter-
national Life Saving Federation. The
Canadian team will compete against
30 different nations in pool and surf
events.
The Canadian lifesaving team has
a new look with hopes of a strong
overall performance at the interna-
tional championships.
Lifesaving sport is a unique combi-
nation of competitive swimming and
timed, simulated rescue drills. It is
fast-paced and demanding. Through
swimming, use of rescue equipment,
or performing mannequin rescue,
lifesaving sport is designed to test
the athlete’s speed, endurance, agil-
ity, co-ordination and strength in the
pool and surf.
