COMPLETE YOUR GRADE 12 OR BE READY FOR A NEW JOB ADULT DAY SCHOOL • ADULT UPGRADING COOPERATIVE EDUCATION • COMPUTER TRAINING LEARN AT HOME • LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION • NIGHT SCHOOL Marks and learning skills should both be observed . BY CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- As the school year nears its end this week, Durham kids will be racing home with report cards stuffed in their bags. And when it’s time for parents to sit down and review the marks and comments in them, they may see their child’s program mark doesn’t necessarily add up with their learning skills results. “A child could be really bright and achiev- ing well ... but their skills may not be ones that are exemplary,” said superintendent Luigia Ayotte, Durham District School Board. Learning skills should not be confused with achievement, Ms. Ayotte said. “In your head, you have to separate how they work with what they know,” she added. A student may be very cooperative and present work that looks perfect, but the con- tent isn’t there, Ms. Ayotte said. Another student may hand in work that looks sloppy and never finishes homework, but she knows the content. “You can have a lot of learning skills but maybe not comprehend the material,” said Bob Lamb, education officer, programs cur- riculum and technology. The same applies in reverse, he added. For grades, students get a letter mark with an A, based on their skills being at a provin- cial level four, B on three, C on two, and D on one, with R representing the absence of the knowledge and skill. Learning skills receive an E for excellent, G for good, S for satisfactory and N for needs improvement, but the evaluation is deter- mined based on the level at which they demonstrate the skill. “A level four would be with a high degree of efficiency,” said Risa Sanchez, education officers for programs, kindergarten to Grade 6. A level three implies a considerable abil- ity, level two is some, and level one is lim- ited. As to which is more important, knowledge or skills, Ms. Sanchez said you want a blend- ing of both. You want kids to do well, but also be involved, she added. Taking a closer look at your child’s report card FAST FACTS A tip sheet for Improving your child’s learning skills • INDEPENDENT WORK: Foster the idea of indepen- dence that’s within their capability. If they’re asked to do something beyond, it will be frustrating for both, Mr. Lamb said. • INITIATIVE: Engage them in experiences, such as swimming or skating, or cooking a new dish together -- something that’s a challenge. After a child has tried a few new things, they might want to try something different on their own. • HOMEWORK COMPLETION: Work with the teacher to find out how they keep track of homework. Some par- ents are very good at using an agenda to communi- cate with teachers, Ms. Sanchez said. • USE OF INFORMATION: Take family trips to the library or show kids how to research efficiently on the com- puter. Watch television or read to each other and then discuss what it was about. • COOPERATION WITH OTHERS: “In your home, that would be taking turns, waiting,” Ms. Sanchez said. Playing games, working on building projects together and discussing what made things fun and what didn’t may be helpful. • CONFLICT RESOLUTION: Talk with the teacher to see where the conflict is occurring. There could be a prac- tical solution such as separating them from a student. “Parents need to be involved in that discussion so they can help turn that around if they can,” Mr. Lamb said. • CLASS PARTICIPATION: Play family games that require risk and involve interaction, such as Clue or charades because they have to be involved and take turns. • PROBLEM SOLVING: Trouble shoot problems together, such as how you’re going to prep for power outages, review fire escape plans and get children to help with scheduling activities. Congratulate their ideas to help build confidence. • GOAL SETTING TO IMPROVE WORK: Give children an artistic experience such as painting and talk to them about how they thought they did and how they think they can improve. Kids will start and stop 20 times because they don’t like something, Ms. Sanchez said. Getting them to finish can help them see how to improve instead of abandoning something. Complet- ing Lego projects or large puzzles, reorganizing their room and helping with recipes may also help kids see the end result. A child could be really bright and achieving well ... but their skills may not be ones that are exemplary.

The annual event benefitted the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering Hospital. PICKERING -- A Pickering woman was seriously injured after crashing through a fence and driving her motorcycle into a house on Monday. At around 10 a.m. June 22, a 43-year-old Pickering woman stalled her blue 2007 Suzuki motorcycle at the Dellbrook Avenue and Major Oak Road intersection in Pickering. After restarting the bike from her stopped position, the driver lost control and drove across a residential front lawn, through a fence and into the wall of a home, say Durham police. The woman was transported to the hospital and later airlifted to Sunny- brook Hospital. She suffered multiple fractures to her wrist, right leg, facial bones and vertebrae and is scheduled for reconstructive surgery. The road was closed for several hours while police investigated and they determined road and weather conditions were favourable and believe alcohol wasn’t a factor. Police are still looking to speak to witnesses. If you have information about the investigation: CALL 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5225 (Det. Const.

The pasta supply is enough for about two days, there’s just a handful of items in the area slated for dry soups and stews and the peanut butter shelf sits empty. Meanwhile, upstairs, it’s a full house at the weekly Thursday lunch offered at the centre with more than 20 peo- ple there. In addition to the weekly hot lunches, the House of Hope offers a drop-in cafe on weekdays, including baked goods. It’s no surprise food is running low given the increase the food bank has seen in use. Last May it served 100 families; this year that number jumped by almost 50 per cent to 148. That amounts to 120 more people. Clients can take home food once a month and can come daily for bread. People of all faiths use the food bank and though most are from Ajax, some come from Pickering, just as some Ajax residents head to St. Paul’s-on- the-Hill in Pickering. “It’s the economy,” said Mr. Crosby. “It’s not direct employees of General Motors and their subsidiaries, but it’s people associated with it.” That includes folks in the service and construction industries seeing tough times. And it’s going to be tough to make up the shortfall. “Summer’s already a bad time. Peo- ple are at the cottage, on vacation and we’re just trying to get the message out.” In addition to nonperishable food, the food bank accepts frozen vegeta- bles at its location and will also pick up donations of both frozen vegetables and non-perishable items. As well, the Town of Ajax has issued a challenge to residents and its employees and will be accepting non-perishable food at any Town facility until Monday.

In its annual report cards, the commis- sion said there were no serious process failures at any of Canada’s power plants, including the ones in Pickering and Dar- lington, in 2008. As well, no worker or member of the public received radiation doses above regulatory limits, no envi- ronmental releases from the plants were above regulatory limits and Canada met its international obligations regarding peaceful use of nuclear energy. That being said, the CNSC ranked dif- ferent aspects of plant performances as fully satisfactory, below expectations and unacceptable. In Durham, the overall mark, or the integrated plant rating, was satisfactory for both Pickering A and Pickering B. For Darlington, the grade was fully satisfacto- ry. However, Pickering was ranked below expectations in four of the categories and Darlington in one. Paul Pasquet, senior vice-president in charge of Pickering B, said the key was that all of Canada’s plants are operating safely. “We’re talking very discrete things we need to work on, but in general the indus- try performed very well.” One of the areas Pickering was ranked below expectations was under the human factors section. The CNSC said there have been concerns about the plan for the minimum number of people working at the plant, called the minimum shift com- plement. The current documents set the minimum complement for a single unit at either Pickering A and Pickering B reac- tors, but the CNSC is looking for OPG to create a plan for a plant-wide issue such as a fire or an earthquake. Mr. Pasquet said the issue is with the methodology and calculations the com- pany uses and said his company is work- ing with the CNSC to address its con- cerns. “It’s a methodology we’re improving, it’s not that we don’t have enough people on the site,” he told the plant’s communi- ty advisory council this week. Mr. Pasquet stressed the Pickering plant complies with all the regulations govern- ing its operation. “The bottom line is if we’re not safe to operate these station, OPG will not oper- ate these stations,” he said. The report card said OPG submitted an action plan and schedule to comply with the CNSC’s rules and Mr. Pasquet said he expected to see improvement in 2009. In the section on the environment, the Pickering plant was criticized for the amount of fish being killed in the plant’s water intake system when it draws water from Lake Ontario. For this reason, it received a “below expectations” in the section. The issue arose in the context of the environmental assessment for the Pickering B refurbishment. “OPG will be installing a fish deterrence system, ie. a fish net,” Mr. Pasquet told members of the council. The 2,000-foot net will prevent fish from entering the intake. When it comes to the oldest of Cana- da’s nuclear power plants, Pickering also had the highest percentage of unplanned capacity loss, which is the percentage of potential electricity output lost due to unplanned events. The rate at Pickering A was 27.7 per cent and 24.1 per cent at Pickering B, the highest rates of any of Canada’s seven plants. Meanwhile Dar- lington had a 1.3-per cent loss. “We have a very comprehensive main- tenance and inspection program ... and if it means taking a little more time, we will take time to make sure the plant is oper- ating perfectly,” said Mr. Pasquet. However, in other areas, Pickering fared better than most of its counterparts, including in the accident severity rate and the number of missed mandatory safety tests, Pickering A and B combined had only two missed tests of more than 23,000, putting it at the top of the pack.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions INCINERATION Some energy from waste better than no energy To the editor: The Sierra club put forward the argu- ment that the waste from 35-40 homes is required to produce the energy needs of just one home. There is, however, a corol- lary formula that states that the waste from 35-40 homes sent to landfill produces the energy needs of exactly zero homes. Since Durham regional council has cho- sen incineration as a preferred alternative over landfill, it makes economic sense to gather the latent energy produced from the activity. Perhaps the only waste of energy was that expended in putting forth such a frivolous and self-serving point of view. Don Brewer Pickering Very few are in favour of incineration To the editor: I honestly believe Clarington mayor, Jim Abernethy, is hearing voices in his head. In your recent article, Mayor Abernethy stat- ed that “his community is a willing host.” In what world is he living? Being part of “his” community, I beg to differ. I have spoken to two people out of hundreds who are in support of this incin- erator. I would also like to know how many of these councillors live in the actual vicin- ity of the incinerator, including Dr. Robert Kyle. Would they like to live less than five kilometres from such a thing in their com- munity? Perhaps we should send their children to school in the backyard of this monstrosity and see how they fare, before pushing one onto those of us who are not willing to host it. Perhaps we could get the opinions of a professional who is not being paid by those in favour. If they all moved to Courtice and still voted for it, then bring it on. Do these councillors and the mayor real- ly think they will get re-elected after this decision? Nobody will re-elect someone who could care less what is being scream- ing at them. How much louder must we yell? I say, put it to a vote. Just like an elec- tion. Then, they will have their answer. Ahhh, remember democracy? Chris Hartman Courtice Speak up if you don’t want incineration To the editor: I’ve suspected it; now it is public. Joe Neuhoff, the director of business development for Covanta, stated regarding the incinerator: “We have strong support at the Regional level. Roger Anderson is push- ing this.” How is our unelected Regional chairman allowed to do this? Regarding the public’s delegations to committee on June 16, Mr. Anderson stated on Rogers TV that what he heard was: “not a lot different then we’ve heard from the folks that usu- ally come out.” However, over 80 concerned citizens reg- istered to speak, many that bring up new, disturbing information about the incinera- tor with every report released. I urge all Durham residents to show up to Regional council on June 24 to watch the political pushing of this incineration proj- ect. Kristin Robinson Clarington Pickering council has to learn to curb its spending habit This year’s grade: C Last year’s grade: C+ Pickering City council’s grade slips this year for what has long been a problem for this group: its collective extravagant expense account. A sore spot for years with many res- idents, you’d think councillors would rein in their spending, especially with the economy taking a beating and many constituents hit- ting the unemployment line. But this group can’t seem to break its spending habits and this past year, Region- al Councillor Rick Johnson and Mayor Dave Ryan were far and away the worst offenders. Coun. Johnson, when you total up his local, regional and travel expenses, racked up a whopping $35,425.76. The councillor is, in fact, spending about double what his fellow regional councillor, Ward 2 rep Bill McLean, is expensing. And, by comparison, City coun- cillor Doug Dickerson -- who doesn’t even have the Region to expense from -- racked up a not-inconsiderable $23,117 in total expens- es. For his part, Mayor Ryan also was gener- ous with the public tab, totalling $31,557.90 in expenses when you add his local, regional and travel numbers together. That puts him just several thousand dollars behind Coun. Johnson in the race to the top of the spend- ing ladder, a concern for many who watch the public purse in Pickering. The key word for 2009 for Pickering coun- cillors, none of whom expensed under $18,000 is: restraint. Compared to their colleagues in other south Durham municipalities, Pickering council- lors are far and away the biggest spenders: Only Clarington Regional Councillor Charlie Trim, head of the Region’s works committee, comes close with $30,146. 45 claimed. The other four south Durham mayors claimed an average of $12,439.98 while the average of the top four councillors was $15,515. The problem is of such magnitude that a group of concerned local residents peti- tioned the Ministry of Municipal Affairs to look into Pickering council spending. When the Ministry turned down the opportunity to do an indepth report but recommended that council form a local committee to check into expenses, council even nixed that idea. That’s just turning your back on a request from the people you represent. And it makes those concerned about the problem wonder whether council realizes, a) whether there is an issue, and b) whether it will collectively do something about it. The answer is, yes, there is an issue and council should do something about it. Spending should be more rigorously con- trolled. There is no need to spend over $10,000 per year on travel which every coun- cillor did this past year. That amount can be cut significantly. Councillors should ask themselves if they need to spend at the rate they do. They need to remember this is tax- payers’ money, not their own money. But they should spend it like it is coming out of their own pocket. That would surely impact how much they spend in future. On other matters, council has worked hard to defend Pickering’s interests such as con- firming the City’s opposition to a new air- port coming in and making sure the city gets its fair shake when projects are doled out. Council speaks with a unified voice and is well-led. And it has done exceptionally well at drawing in new business during these recessionary times. But until it gets those expenses under con- trol, council will have a black mark against its name. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ newsdurhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 24, 20096 P WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com WE ASKED I found myself in the middle of one of those surreal moments last week. You know, when you see or hear some- thing that is just so far outside your nor- mal operations manual that you don’t even really react to it until it’s just too late? Moments when all you can do is stop and stare and wait for your brain to catch up. Like when you suddenly find yourself face to face with a bank robber or a com- pletely inappropriate remark or a sober woman who actually finds you attrac- tive. Dog and I were in the car, en route to one of our favourite countryside walks. We were stopped at a light when a pick- up pulled into the left hand turn lane beside us. Through the open passenger window I heard the driver utter these words to his passenger, “...there’s no blacks or Pakis up here, so that’s good. We do got some chinkies though. Lots of chinkies.” I was stupefied. Atrocious grammar aside, you just don’t expect to hear that kind of thing outside of a Klan rally. To my stunned ear, he may as well have been saying: “Detonator’s set and primed. “Come two o’clock, there’ll be nothing left of this town but a smokin’ crater.” And it was said in such a completely mat- ter-of-fact way, as though he were point- ing out quaint, local landmarks to a visi- tor. “That’s the Co-op over there, Legion’s just down the street. There’s no blacks or Pakis up here, so that’s good...” What seemed to compound the ugli- ness of these remarks was that these were young men; probably somewhere in their late 20s to early 30s. Men who should have known better. Men who have, supposedly, grown up in a much more enlightened and cultur- ally diverse age than their parents and grandparents. Sadly, they’re also young enough to procreate and hand their ignorance down to the next generation. Bigotry, the gift that keeps on giving. Again, I seemed to be swimming under- water for the few seconds it took my mind to process what was happening. By the time it did register, the light had changed and the pickup had pulled away, leaving me slack-jawed, angry and impo- tent. I suppose I could’ve given chase. But to what end? To engage the fellas in a little dialogue, pointing out that they were not wholly to blame for their erroneous views of other races and cultures? They were merely the unfortunate product of living in a cloistered, homog- enous community for too long? No thanks. Somehow I don’t think a guy who uses the words Paki and chinkies, with no more care than if he were ordering a pizza, would take kindly to being labelled homogenous. Especially from a guy driving a yellow bug with a flower in it. Although I might make a nice footnote to his next truck-buddy conversation. “I don’t mind the blacks, Pakis and chinkies so much no more. “It’s them homogenous actors that are the real pain in the ass. “Sure wish we didn’t got them.” Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Do you think incineration is the best way to get rid of our garbage? (from left) RICK PERRY --‘Probably not. There are better ways of getting rid of it. We can recycle better.’ JOHN PERRY--‘I have been reading up on European technologies and want more information.’ MALORI PRINCE --‘I do yes. You can use the energy created and reduce what we put in landfills.’ MICHAEL DUNCANSON--‘No. Though they say it will be safe, there could be long-term effects.’ RON PIETRONIRO / BEHIND THE LENS MIKE JOHNSTON Who is it? You never know Ignorance is not bliss, not when it’s racist NEIL CRONE Talk to any journalist and one of the rea- sons they’ll give for liking their job is the vari- ety. You never really know what you will be doing from day to day. That’s also true every time the phone rings, you get an e-mail or an unexpected visitor arrives at the front office. Most e-mails we receive are very straight-for- ward, either letters to the editor or announc- ing grand openings or other community events. Some can be nasty such as those Clarington reporter Jennifer Stone received this week from groups upset about her story on the fundraiser for Bethesda House. That was the one in which men wore or carried women’s shoes during a walk in downtown Bowmanville. Phone calls can take a different turn, espe- cially if the conversation starts with: “You won’t believe this.” Just a few weeks ago a man was telling me how his friend died in a hospital and it shouldn’t have happened but when his other line beeped, he wanted to put me on hold. I guess it wasn’t really that important to him. But the best moments during the day are saved for the visitors to our office. The majority are nice people who drop in with notices or pictures. But at least once a week there is the visitor who leaves you shaking your head. A few weeks ago, a man came to the office to complain he was being followed by more than 100 people on orders from Finance Minister Jim Flaherty. And just last week a woman came in to say she had proof that cellphones had bugs in them which track us and make us do other people’s bidding. I asked her for proof and she asked to see the obituaries from our June 10 issue. After spending a few minutes going through the obituaries, she announced the answer wasn’t there. She asked to see the June 11 obituaries. I declined and asked her for the proof. “It all started in the 1100s,” she replied. That’s when the visit ended and she left the building. Not everyone who stops into the office leaves me shaking my head but those once-in-a-while pop-ins sure do bring a little levity to the day. Mike Johnston is the managing editor.

Cultural association proposes change to Peace Park PICKERING -- Council endorsed plans to change the name of Espla- nade Park to Peace Park Monday night, but staff will have to tweak the plans first. Shashi Bhatia, president of the Indo-Canadian Cultural Associa- tion of Durham, presented plans and reasoning for the change at Monday’s council meeting. Pickering is diverse, she said, and the renaming will associate the City with an image of peace and harmony. The association also proposed naming the garden circle in Espla- nade Park the Lester B. Pearson circle, after the late Canadian prime minister who had served as president of the United Nations General Assembly in the 1950s and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957. The walkway leading to City Hall and the garden circle will be called Mahatma Gandhi Walkway, after the late Indian nationalist and spiritual leader who developed non-violent civil disobedience in the fight for India’s independence, attained in 1947. The two paths leading from the garden circle will be called Martin Luther King Way, for the leader of the American civil rights’ move- ment who won the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize but was later assassi- nated, and Mandela Way, after former president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, who received a Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.

WARD 2 JENNIFER O’CONNELL CITY COUN. WARD 1 DAVID PICKLES CITY COUN. WARD 3 RICK JOHNSON REGIONAL COUN. WARD 3 B+Mark ’09 Mark ’08B+ BONNIE LITTLEY REGIONAL COUN. WARD 1 Mayor Dave Ryan has pushed for downtown development and helped convince developers to open a new office tower to keep MPAC in Pickering. He’s quiet at meetings, but when he speaks it’s usually insightful; he should do so more often. He should cut off councillors who speak too long. He regularly takes City finances into consideration. For example, when council granted Whitevale com- munity members money to help them buy the Whitevale United Church, he made it clear that would only happen upon the group’s successful purchase. At the Region, Mayor Ryan tends to be quiet at council meetings, speaking up only when he needs to. BB BB- Coun. Jennifer O’Connell is certainly passionate about her job. She takes time to consult residents and even circulated a survey on what they wanted in the budget. She sometimes compares Pickering to Toronto, and it’s not always relevant since Toron- to is much bigger, such as the time she compared Pickering’s snow clearing procedures to Toronto’s. It’s still evident she does her homework and cares about the issues. She continues to get a better handle on municipal proceedings and issues. She has a soft side; for example, she got council to support asking the Minister of Natural Resources to investigate illegal hunting that was reported in Pickering.

David Pickles continues to raise reasonable points. He’s consistent in showing his opposition to a possible airport, such as reconfirming the City’s opposition to it, and criticizing the Region for continuously identifying an airport on its maps for future plans. Also, he argues these points in a reasonable way. For example, when he heard rumours the federal government was planning to give $2 billion to the construction of an airport, he said it would be wrong, not only because he’s against it, but also, it would take away from other much more needed, shovel- ready projects, such as transit and road projects.

Doug Dickerson finally reduced his expenses over the past year, so he gets a pat on the back for that. He’s fought to ensure the new Duffin Heights neighbourhood will be somewhat dense with businesses along Brock Road and continuously encourag- es sustainability. He encouraged council to help Whitevale resi- dents by putting forward a motion to provide reasonable fund- ing to help them run their local United church they hope to pur- chase. He supported San Francisco By the Bay developers when they wanted some relief from their obligation to reimburse the City for their development’s lack of parkland space – a standard City rule. This was a head-scratcher given his recent environ- mental concern with current issues.

WARD 2 A- A- It’s been the year of the incinerator for Durham Region, which means Roger Anderson has been front and centre on the often incendiary debate. Despite vocal opposition, Mr. Anderson has stayed on mes- sage. Backing down isn’t his style and he hasn’t let the opposition thwart the inevitable move toward approving the facility in Claring- ton. He loses points for voting against air and soil monitoring around the site beyond the first three years of the EFW opening. The Grow- ing Durham report was approved and it includes firm development guidelines. He wants to keep land set aside for employment purposes kept for that. Mr. Anderson is blunt when need be. Given he rules over 28 politicians and staff, bluntness is a job requirement. Attendance: 130/149 council and standing committee meetings Mileage: $6,625.63 Conferences, conventions and meetings: $24,853.04 Mark ’09 Mark ’08 Coun. Bonnie Littley is in her role for all the right reasons: she’s pas- sionate about the environment, growth and transparency. Howev- er, she sometimes has a hard time articulating her thoughts. Unfor- tunately, this results in council not taking her seriously at times, although her ideas are well-researched and she has good intentions. She fought hard regarding future growth in Pickering, picking flaws in Durham’s report to the Province regarding future growth fore- casts. She received criticism when she didn’t allow council to ques- tion residents speaking against a development in an open meeting. At the Region, Coun. Littley’s speaking style can be confusing, leav- ing one with the impression she’s not well prepared. Coun. Bill McLean became involved in the issue of a possible odour control plant going into Cherrywood and challenged Regional Chairman Roger Anderson to keep the facility out of Durham when the chairman gave his annual address to council. He relates well to residents, being their advocate in pushing the Province to fix a terrible stretch of Hwy. 401. He was also strong- ly against Pickering councillors getting a pay raise when the idea was raised. At the Region, Coun. McLean gets involved when he needs to, a welcome trait considering some of the contentious issues the Region has been dealing with. Criticizing Coun. Rick Johnson’s expenses hasn’t given him as effec- tive a slap on the wrist. Therefore, he’s dropped to the dreaded C zone, because his expenses soar above everyone else’s. He remains passionate about Ward 3 residents and the rights of rural dwell- ers, such as continuously fighting for more roads. He was criticized when he suggested council’s salaries be reviewed in a closed-door meeting. Although he ran in the federal election, he managed to miss only one meeting and was still accessible for City business. At the Region, he’s an ardent supporter of incineration. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the issue. Grading system Attendance figures are from June 1, 2008 to May 31, 2009. Expenses are for 2008. In the regional portion, attendance includes council, committee and joint committees.

Kick start your career! chance to be part of the Olympic expe- rience. “It was kind of exciting,” Mr. Gar- vey said of getting the news he got the spot, at an event at the RBC branch at Glenanna and Kingston Roads. Mr. Garvey saw the ad on television and promptly applied online. Part of the contest involves pledging to make Canada a better place. His pledge was “to create stronger communities by visiting with seniors on a regular basis.” The former CGC Inc. employee retired in January and began volunteering at Community Care in February, driving seniors to appointments or takes them grocery shopping about three times a week. “It’s good,” he said of volunteering. “I get to meet some very interesting peo- ple.” Olympic hopeful for the London 2012 Olympic Games, sprinter Fatih Stan- ley, passed Mr. Garvey the ceremonial torch. The Toronto resident, who trains three hours a day, five times a week, has his own pledge. “I pledge to create a better Canada by making sure I only drive when I can’t walk, jog, ride or run,” he pledged on the RBC website. He said at the ceremony he’s a lit- tle envious of Mr. Garvey because the torch, symbolizing unity and communi- ty, means so much. “The Olympics to me are about hope, dreams and, more importantly than anything, community and unity,” he said. Mr. Garvey’s not nervous about the relay since it’s only 300 metres long. But he’s pretty sure his wife and kids will be there to cheer him on. “They’re pretty excited, too,” he said. He has hopes for Canada to win gold in 2010 and enjoys all sports, but espe- cially hockey. “I think we’ll do well,” he said.

Chairman’s Charity Classic benefits Durham post-secondary students DURHAM -- The winners of this year’s Chairman’s Charity Classic golf tournament are Durham’s college and university students. With help from sponsors, donors, volunteers and 240 golfers, the 13th annual event raised $354,000. The money provides assistance to students in financial need at Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology and supports the creation of the Abilities Centre Durham. The tournament, hosted by Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson, was held at Deer Creek Golf Club and Banquet Facility in Ajax. It has raised $3.5 million since its inception. The event included three Fraser Ford hole-in-one holes, a $1-mil- lion shootout, and live and silent auction items, including a private hockey box at the Scotiabank Centre in Ottawa and tuition to Dur- ham College and UOIT. COMMUNITY Durham golf tourney raises thousands newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 24, 200916 AP Toronto garbage strike may have bigger impact on Pickering BY KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Regional and municipal staff are asking residents to be on the lookout for foreign garbage. About 30,000 City of Toronto workers are on strike, and that includes garbage collec- tors. So, residents are being asked to keep an eye out for anyone illegally dumping garbage in Durham. “We don’t want residents of Toronto to bring their garbage to Durham. It’s Toron- to’s garbage and they should be dealing with it,” said Craig Bartlett, the Region’s manager of waste operations. The Region is “working closely with Pickering staff” to ensure trash isn’t dumped on the side of roads, Mr. Bartlett noted. If a resident sees anything suspicious, they’re asked to get as much detail as pos- sible, including a description of the driv- er, the type of vehicle and plate number, if possible, Mr. Bartlett stated. “If evidence is found, we will charge the person with illegal dumping.” The City of Toronto has set up depots for residents to dump garbage, Mr. Bartlett noted. Transfer stations in the Region “are set up for the residents of Durham,” Mr. Bartlett said. “But, at the end of the day, there is a charge to use these facilities. “I would never, ever encourage residents of Toronto to use them. They are for resi- dents of Durham. But, there is a charge.” Toronto had a garbage strike in 2002 and the majority of residents complied with City wishes to use depots. “There was a small minority didn’t com- ply,” Mr. Bartlett said, adding Durham offi- cials saw a small increase in dumping. “If we catch you, we will fine you and send you back with your garbage,” he added. Fines can range from $100 to as much as $10,000, “depending on the severity of what was being dropped off,” he said. “Some pri- vate transfer stations could see an increase if residents get impacted.” Durham has a four-bag limit at the curb and it will be enforced, he added. “Because Pickering is on the border of Toronto, if there’s any illegal dumping, it will probably happen there,” Mr. Bartlett stated. “If anyone notices something, they should call the Pickering customer care number and their bylaw staff will be inves- tigating.” Residents can call is 905-683-7575 or toll- free at 1-877-420-4666. The Durham transfer stations charge $120 a tonne to dump, while private facili- ties charge between $90 to $100 a tonne. In Ajax, people can call bylaw services at 905-619-2529, ext. 3370.

For new toddler and elementary students who register by July 31 2009 10% OFF TUITION FEES Education ADVERTISING FEATURE Before you know it, the last bell of the school year will ring and summer will be upon us! It can sneak up pretty fast—so it’s best to take some time now to begin to think about how this summer can be the summer that makes a difference in your child’s education.Summer is an important part of the school year cycle—it’s a break from the regular routine but it is also a chance to catch up, keep up, or get ahead. A child’s brain doesn’t stop learning when the school year ends—in fact, the summer months are a critical time for learn- ing. Studies from the John’s Hopkins Institute show that stu- dents who maintain their learning momentum over the summer break are at an academic advantage over other students when school begins again in the fall. Maintaining the learning momentum throughout the sum- mer is critical to having a better school year—a little advanced planning now for the summer months ahead goes a long way to avoiding the dreaded summer “brain drain.” One way to think about how your child will have an educa- tional summer is by talking about plans and setting summer academic goals as a family. To set a summer goal take a look at your child’s current academic standing. Usually there is one area that could use review during the summer. Focus on this area and set a goal to work on it a few hours every week this summer. When setting a goal, remember the CAM rule. CAM goals are: Clear, Achievable, and Measurable. Here’s how to apply the CAM rule to summer planning. • Clear. Make sure that a summer academic goal is clear. It shouldn’t be “improve in science this summer”, but “I want to memorize the periodic table of elements and understand mito- sis.” • Achievable. It is summer after all; kids don’t want to spend hours a day on schoolwork. Keep academic work short and sweet and add a little variety to the schedule. This will ensure that kids don’t get discouraged and that your summer academic goals are actually met, not left beside the pool. • Measurable. By setting a goal that has benchmarks, you can track success. Last week Tim only knew 10 periodic elements; this week he knows 20! The CAM method for setting goals makes academic resolutions easy to keep. Students won’t get discouraged and abandon their resolutions, because they can track and see their progress. By challenging your child’s mind this summer—even a little bit at a time, you child will not only beat the brain drain, but be ahead of his or her classmates in the fall. Oxford Learning is Canada’s leading provider of supplemen- tal and enrichment education services, offering individualized learning programs year round and fun Brain Camps in the summer. Oxford can help your child catch up or reach ahead and enjoy learning this summer to return to school in Septem- ber with improved skills and greater confidence.

JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND COMMUNITY Quarter marathon in Durham in July DURHAM -- On July 25, Durham residents can take a stand against homelessness and participate in Canada’s only quarter marathon. The annual Durham Quarter Marathon raises funds for The Refuge, which provides support for Durham homeless and street youth. The quar- ter marathon starts in downtown Oshawa at Memorial Park, the 10.5-km route travels down Centre Street connecting with the picturesque Oshawa Creek Trail, then making its way to Lake Ontario and Lakefront West Park. For more information: visit www.durhamquartermarathon.com Richard Quittenton and Nick Naimool to play for Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Richard Quittenton and Nick Naimool are taking their act on the road. All the way to Virginia, in fact. The two from Ajax are packing their helmets and cleats for Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia where they hope the next road will lead them to a university scholarship at a Division I NCAA program within a couple of years. “Going to the States to play football is a bet- ter opportunity to one day play university foot- ball down there, which is the goal for me,” says Quittenton, a 16-year-old quarterback. “Staying in Canada, the opportunities wouldn’t be there as much, so that’s the reason I want to go down there.” Naimool echoes those sentiments. “Firstly, it was the academics, because three out of four kids get a full academic scholarship to university,” says the 16-year-old, who plays wide receiver and cornerback and returns punts and kickoffs. “Secondly, the sports has a good football program and the history is really great. “You get better visibility to go to a Division I school which is my dream, and help me go to the NFL if I can.” The two have virtually grown up and played together through their ties to football. It started a few years back with the Ajax-Pickering Dolphins, continued with the Junior Argo out of Toronto, and continued in high school at St. Michaels, culminating with a Metro Bowl championship following a 42-12 dismantling of Donald A. Wil- son of Whitby in the championship game at Rogers Centre last fall. They have attended elite football camps together in Florida and South Carolina, distrib- uted tapes profiling their immense talents on the field and visited various campuses leading up to committing to Fork Union. “The goal is to go down there for Grade 11 and 12, get a scholarship and move on to university down there and play football,” says Quittenton. The Fork Union Military Academy Blue Devils is a highly regarded and reputable program, with 15 active players in the NFL in 2008. The school has had more than 70 players drafted or signed by NFL teams, a list which includes notable for- mer first rounders Plaxico Burress (2000), Eddie George (1996) and Vinny Testaverde (1987). Both Ajax players hope to join the same list and are anxious for the August departure to begin workouts prior to the first classes. “I can’t wait to go,” says Naimool. “It’s going to be so much fun and I get to learn different things and meet new coaches.” Quittenton is also looking forward to the chal- lenges that await. “Right now, it’s just excitement that I’m actu- ally going to get to go down there and play.”newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 24, 200918 AP Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.com Catching on down south RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND AJAX -- Richard Quittenton and Nick Naimool will be playing football at the Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia starting this fall. The Ajax duo played the past two seasons at St. Mikes’s in Toronto. JUNIOR GOLF Golfers up to the test DURHAM -- The 2009 Durham Junior Golf Tour kicked off the competitive sea- son with its skills competition and rules seminar. The 48 participants challenged their golf skills at Devil’s Den Golf Centre. The first event of the skills rotation was the putting competition with each golfer facing three putts of varying length and difficulty. The first was relatively flat, straight and five feet in length but only half of the field managed to nail it one shot. The sec- ond was uphill and measured nearly 15 feet and surrendered only 16 one putts, with the final putt being a 40-foot downhill and sidehill with a substantial break to test the juniors. A score of two was excellent with many three putts and the occasional recorded with Davis Kuksis (Cherry Downs Golf Club), Zak Howard (Peterbor- ough Golf and Country Club) and Justin Knaggs (Oshawa Golf and Country Club) winning their divisions. The big hitters had an opportunity to flex their muscles and hit the long ball in the final event of the rotation. The 35- yard-wide grid proved to be more than a little challenging with many unable to keep their ball in play. John Guenther (Whitevale Golf Club) had the longest drive of the day measuring 289 yards to win the junior divi- sion. Justin Plane and Brian Hubers (Fox- bridge Golf Club) also won their divisions. The second event of the rotation was the chipping competition, with each com- petitor having two chances to demonstrate their wedge skills at each of three stations. Many were close to the targets but Ben Kennedy (Foxbridge Golf Club) recorded the only chip-in of the day, while Spencer Dobbs (Cherry Downs Golf Club), Jordan Gallagher (Oshawa Golf and Country Club) and Eric Adamo (Wolf Run Golf Club) took top prize in their divisions. FOOTBALL PICKERING -- Kristopher Robertson will be spending some of his summer vacation in Canton, Ohio. He won’t have much time for sightseeing, however, as the Pickering resident was named to the 46-man Canadian football roster for the inaugural IFAF Junior World Champion- ships. Robertson is a 5-foot-8, 170-pound corner- back who attends St. Mary Catholic Second- ary School. The tournament, which runs from June 27 to July 5, will feature eight countries battling it out to determine supremacy on the grid- iron for high school-aged players. In addition to Canada, the tournament will feature the United States, Mexico, Japan, Germany, Swe- den, France and New Zealand. Canada enters the tournament as the No. 1- seeded team based on previous performanc- es in international competition, size of pro- gram and number of years the program has been in place. Canada will open the tournament on Satur- day against New Zealand, with semifinals to follow on July 1. The bronze medal game goes July 4, with the gold medal game on July 5. FOOTBALL Robertson named to Canadian football team SUMMER SPORTS Still room at Dragons sports camps DURHAM -- The Durham Dragons track-and-field club still has room for more athletes at its third annual summer camps for track and team sport conditioning at Brock Ridge Park in Pickering.

WHITBY -- The Ajax Impact U10 boys’ rep soccer team was running on all cylinders en route to the Whitby Iro- quois Soccer Tournament Championship. Ajax defeated Whitby B1 6- 0. Devin Smith recorded the shutout, defence was sup- plied by Adrian Martini, Nick Sims, Maarten Schyvenaars and Dalton Clark.

Interment to follow at Union Cemetery. For Online Condolences please go to www.armstrongfuneralhome.net. A special thank-you to the Durham CCAC and Respite for all their care and support. God saw you getting tired When a cure was not to be. So he closed his arms around you And whispered "Come to Me" In tears we saw you sinking, We watched you fade away. Our Hearts were truly broken, You fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, Peacefully and free from pain, We could not wish you back, To suffer that again. So keep your arms around her, Lord, And give her special care, Make up for all she suffered, That seemed to us unfair, So many times we've needed you, So many times we've cried.
