Wants courthouse built in downtown area By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — In its ongoing bid to enhance the City’s down- town core, council is now asking the Province to build the Durham courthouse here. In a motion passed at Monday’s council meeting, Pickering is en- couraging the Province to consider building the proposed Durham courthouse on 12 acres of provin- cially-owned land north of Hwy. 401 and west of Liverpool Road (near Loblaws and Bob Caygeon’s). Wa rd 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson said it is a good location that is easily accessible by Hwy. 401 and local and GO transit; as well, a pedestrian bridge (now in the de- sign stage) from the GO station over the highway to the Pickering Town Centre parking lot would help with accessibility. The site has one other benefit. “They already own the land and if that is not a substantial savings to the taxpayers of Ontario, I don’t know what is,” Coun. Dickerson said. The latest news on the courthouse, which was promised to Durham 10 years ago, came in December when Attorney General Michael Bryant told regional council the building would be built by 2008 or 2009. Pre- vious governments had promised a courthouse, with the Conservatives having narrowed it down to loca- tions in Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa. The Ontario Realty Corporation is handling the issue for the Province. “In terms of location that hasn’t been finalized,” said Jim Butticci, ORC spokesman. He said they would be looking at “all of Durham” since it is a Dur- ham courthouse and added they are aware of Pickering’s interest. “It would be a real bonus for Pick- ering to get the courthouse,” said Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill Pickering wants justice brought to the city The Pickering 48 PAGES ✦ Pressrun 48,600 ✦ Metroland Durham Region Media Group ✦ FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 2005 ✦ Optional delivery $6 / Newsstand $1 B R U C EBRUCE B I S S E L LBISSELL 201 Bayly St. W., Ajax, Ontario: (between Westney and Harwood) BB U I C KBUICK P O N T I A CPONTIAC LT D .LTD. 683-6561 www.bissellbuick.com Cash Purchase Price is plus licence, taxes, freight and administration fee.

McLean said. Coun. Dickerson agreed getting the courthouse would be moving forward on building a viable down- town core. Neil Carroll, director of planning, told council the Province had not come forward with any plans for that land in Pickering. It is currently zoned office and stormwater. and the Full Count Blues Band. “It hasn’t changed a lot, it has grown a lot,” Ms. Morris said.

Durham Regional Police inter- viewed witnesses who saw a man who appeared to be approaching unsuspecting females in the mall and surreptitiously taking photos under their skirts. The man would sidle up and position his foot near girls and women, who ranged in age from young children to women in their 20’s, according to witnesses. Police suspect the man, about 40 years old and 6 feet with a stocky build and close-cropped blonde hair, may have attached a small camera to his shoe. Investigators are viewing mall se- curity tapes.

Pickering, Ajax miss the mark for swimming Run the lake and support Ajax, Pickering’s hospital Coverage a boon to arts centre To the editor: Re: ‘The arts gets its time in the spotlight,’ editorial, May 27, and ‘Tom Thomson returning to Durham,’ David Stell column March 6. I always imagined my first letter to the editor would be one of outrage regarding a social injustice. However, that is not the case. The Durham West Arts Centre is truly grateful for the sup- port and we want to say so publicly. These editorials, combined with generally strong coverage of arts events, have done a great service in supporting our or- ganization as it works towards the vision of a permanent arts centre. In an age when criticism handily outweighs praise, let praise take the forefront. Angie Littlefield, Executive director Durham West Arts Centre P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 10, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR OPG, City have to talk it over I n the final analysis, there was no risk to the safety of the community on Friday when an ‘imitation pipe bomb’ was discovered at Ontario Power Generation’s Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. Regardless, a protocol is in place for just such a situation and City Of Pickering officials say it wasn’t followed very well. In fact, Councillor Maurice Brenner has called for a review of what he called a breakdown in communication between OPG and the City. According to the Provincial Nuclear Emergency Plan, OPG is required to contact the City for reportable events such as Friday’s incident. A message was left for Mayor Dave Ryan, but he was out of the province on City business. Coun. Brenner, speaking to council Monday night, re- ceived support from council members for his recommen- dation to look into whether or not OPG’s existing protocol should be changed. He is specifically bothered that the City’s CAO was not notified Friday in a timely fashion. Instead, City officials were first made aware of a possible incident when Pickering’s fire department was called to the scene. Coun. Brenner, who was acting mayor at the time, said he didn’t speak to anyone at OPG about the incident until two- and-a-half hours after police were called. For its part, OPG spokeswoman Jacquie McInnes defend- ed the actions of the company. She said OPG is ready and willing to discuss a review of its response to Friday’s incident, but added OPG did follow procedure when it discovered the unknown object. According to Ms. McInnes, it’s common practice in such cases to look at their actions and look for ways to improve in the future. She added OPG is currently establishing the terms of reference for the review. Issues such as how com- munications were supposed to occur, how they actually oc- curred and recommended solutions will be looked at by the company. That’s a positive response to the issue and now it has to be followed through on. Officials from both sides need to talk it out and find a satisfactory level of expectation from this type of incident. A second emergency call to the nuclear station, this time Tuesday, shows Friday wasn’t an isolated incident. In order to learn and move forward, OPG and the City have to develop a protocol that ensures notification of any potential risk is received and not left unanswered. People living in Pickering are on a need-to-know basis regarding safety concerns at the nuclear plant.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com N o matter how many movies are made or how often the stories are told, the experience of our veterans remains unbelievable. The stories of some 20 local veterans were recently compiled by the South Pickering Seniors’ Club. Flipping through the booklet, aptly titled ‘Freedom’, there is page after page of stories of sacrifice these men — and women — made during the Second World War. There is the story of Cecil Turner, who joined the Royal Canadian Navy as soon as he was old enough. He was just 18 when he served as a naval gunner aboard a large merchant ship in the At- lantic as part of the branch of the Navy called Defensively Equipped Merchant Ships. It is hard to fathom being 18 years old (or in some cases younger) and fight- ing a war in another country or being aboard a ship in the middle of the Atlan- tic, constantly in danger. The worries of today’s 18-year-olds — of studying for an exam or applying to university — just don’t compare. What makes the experiences of vet- erans even more unbelievable is that they are humble about them. In the beginning of the booklet Elsie Hether- man and Mary Spence, the two club members who put the book together, talk about how the veterans were “em- barrassed or timid to share their memo- ries.” It’s evident in the booklet. Gordon Warren has abbreviated his “army memories” into just a few important dates. Mr. Warren landed on Juno Beach on D-Day, saw action all over Europe and was wounded in 1945. He received three medals. One can only imagine what he saw and experienced but decided not to share. In an interview before V-E Day in talk- ing about the project, Ms. Hetherman said, “it was amazing how they played down their service.” She, however, was able to gather a collection of stories of men and women who stood up for their country and made the world a better place for gen- erations to come. These men and women don’t think of themselves as heroes; they say they did what they had to do to defend de- mocracy. That makes them even more remarkable. Others can read their stories and get a glimpse of what they experienced once the booklet is made available in local li- braries. It is just one way to honour their sacrifices. Veterans may not ask for accolades, but they’ve earned them. We have to pay tribute to them and those who are no longer here, not just on Remem- brance Day or on the anniversary of V-E Day, but every day. Danielle Milley’s column appears every third Friday.

The annual event kicks off to- night (June 10) and runs through to June 19 when a day of activities will be capped with fireworks by the lake. What started out as a small week- end celebration in 1971 has become a full 10 days of fun for residents and visitors. Founding chairman Joe Dickson remembers when the event began and has seen it grow. “Back in those days we only had a population of 8,000,” he said. “Now we’re a population of 90,000.” Almost every year since its in- ception the celebration has added activities. In the second year, the event was officially named the Ajax Home Weekend. That same year the an- nual Kinsmen Steak Barbecue and Dance came into being, one of the more popular events. “The Kinsmen steak barbecue is always a sellout,” Mr. Dickson said. In 1973, the Home Weekend ex- tended to include Friday and lake- front fireworks were added. That event has continued to be a big draw. “We’ll have a crowd of 10,000 watching the fireworks,” Mr. Dick- son said adding the five service clubs that make it happen will spend over $10,000 on the fire- works. The event is the third Sunday in June, on Father’s Day. By 1975 the Ajax Rotary Club added the Sunday morning pan- cake breakfast. By 1976 the event was named Ajax Home Week and new activities included a dunking booth and the Lions had introduced Homefest, featuring DJ dancing and the Kins- men sponsored a Sunday morning car rally. The scope and attractions con- tinue to grow. “This year, with the parade, we’ll be bringing special attractions,” Mr. Dickson said, adding elephants and camels are coming in 2005. As part of the 50th anniversary celebrations, Second World War veterans from the HMS Ajax and associated ships will be hosted in the Home Week parade. “They’ll be an important part of the parade,” Mr. Dickson said, add- ing other veterans are honoured as well.

A Settlement Capacity Study has been submitted by Berrywoods Farm Inc. as required by the Region of Durham Offi cial Plan. In order to obtain the necessary approvals to expand this hamlet, the applicant proposes to conduct the Greenwood Hamlet Servicing & Westney Road Re-alignment Study. The Greenwood Hamlet & Westney Road Re-alignment Study will address the following three components needed for the expansion: • Proposed Berrywoods Farm plan of subdivision; • Proposed Westney Road Re-alignment; and, • Proposed new wastewater system. Planning Act and Class Environmental Assessment The landowners will use the “integrated approach” set out in Section A.2.9 of the Class Environmental Assessment for Municipal Projects. This study will address the Planning Act approvals and the Schedule C Class Environmental Assessment requirements for the road and wastewater projects together. In accordance with the integrated approach, once the landowner has satisfi ed Section A.2.9 of the Class Environmental Assessment, the Planning Act approval of the subdivision will constitute the fulfi llment of the require- ments of the Class Environmental Assessment for the specifi ed wastewater and road projects. Possible methods of implementing the proposed projects will be evaluated based on the effects on the following: • Engineering and Public Safety • Natural Environment • Social/Cultural Environment • Economic Environment Public Consultation You are invited to drop in to the fi rst of three Public Information Centres: Tuesday June 21, 2005 – 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Greenwood Community Centre – Greenwood Road (5th driveway south of 6th Concession Road, on the east side, opposite the entrance to the Pickering Village Museum ) Comments or Questions?

Just one more way to get your news thanks to your friends at the NEWS ADVERTISER sportsdurhamregion.com Howie Herrema, Russ Powell to be part of guiding force set to protect 1.8 million acres of provincial land DURHAM — A local farmer and conservation authority guru are now part of the Province’s Green- belt. Howie Herrema of Leaskdale and Russ Powell of Pontypool will be sit- ting on the Greenbelt council. The group will be responsible for guiding the govern- ment on im- plementing the Greenbelt protection act and plan, offering advice and looking at it in 10 years. “The members of the Green- belt council are expe- r ienced, knowledge- able, and dedicated to greenbelt protection,” said John Gerretsen, minister of m unicipal affairs and housing. Mr. Herrema, also an Uxbridge councillor, has farmed his entire life. A graduate of the Ridgetown College of Agriculture, he served as president of the Durham Fed- eration of Agriculture from 1996 to 1998. Russ Powell is most recognizable as the chief administrative officer of the Central Lake Ontario Con- servation Authority, which serves all of Durham except Pickering. He was recently elected as chairman of the Oak Ridges Moraine Foun- dation and served on the Green- belt task force that toured Ontario holding public meetings. The council also includes a former cabinet minister, a grape grower and vintner from Niagara, professors and a policy worker from Ontario Nature. The Greenbelt protects 1.8 mil- lion acres of land across Ontario. For more information about it and the council, visit www.greenbelt. ontario.ca. Two locals part of greenbelt council Howie Herrema Russ Powell By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM — The Rouge Valley Health System appreciates Ministry of Health funding to increase key services, but what it says it really needs is more space. “We’re very grateful for these volumes but at the end of the day we need more capital,” said Hume Martin, Rouge Valley chief executive officer and president. “We need the redevelopment at the Ajax site to happen. “We need to have a facility that can handle the growth we know is coming.” While the hospital is still waiting to find out which capital projects across the province are going to be approved this year, it recently re- ceived $3.785 million to improve services at both its Ajax and Cente- nary sites. The Ministry of Health announced the breakdown for the entire year’s allocation for extra cancer surger- ies and cardiac procedures, as well as the first six months of extra hip and knee re- placements, cataract sur- geries, and extended MRI hours. It is part of the govern- ment’s wait- time strat- egy. Mr. Martin said the money for cardiac and cancer services is much the same as last year, but the money for cataract, and hip and knee sur- geries is more, increasing volumes. “So we have to do more than last year. If we don’t do them, we have to give the money back,” he said. Mr. Martin added the money would decrease wait times in key areas. “It will help and the wait lists are particularly long for hips and there is a real backlog for cataracts,” he said. “There is no question this is a real step forward.” Hip surgeries are done at both locations, while cataract procedures are only performed at Centenary. Mr. Martin said it was important the announcement was made so soon into the fiscal year — the 2004- 05 announcement was not made until this past February and hospi- tals had to use the money by the end of March. Rouge Valley gets money for wait times Hume Martin Be aware of emergency vehicles DURHAM — Remember to move out of the way. Local emergency personnel are reporting a growing number of drivers are failing to pull over to the right side of the road or stop when required. Ajax Fire and Emergency System is reminding drivers of their responsibility to yield to all emergency vehicles using lights and sirens, including police, fire and ambulance. After moving to the right, come to a complete stop and wait to ensure another emergency vehicle isn’t coming along after the first one. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 10, 2005 PAGE 11 A/P Pickering portes ouvertes Pickering Recreation Complex 1867 Valley Farm Road Pickering, Ontario Tél :905-831-1711 lundi, le 13 juin, 2005 18 30 à 2100 heures mardi, le 14 juin, 2005 09 00 à 1130 heures et 12 30 à 1600 heures La SGDN vient de publier Choisir une voie pour l'avenir,une version préliminaire, pour consultation, de la récommandation qu'elle compte présenter au gouvernement du Canada plus tard cette année concernant la gestion du combustible nucléaire irradié.

Limited Time Offer Covering Durham’s education situation mruta@durhamregion.comREPORTER MIKE RUTANEWS ADVERTISER 905-683-5110 York concerned about Seaton roads, water By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM — Durham’s neigh- bouring region is concerned about handling the thousands of new commuters and water users once the massive Seaton devel- opment is built. “We’re looking for the Prov- ince to be responsible develop- ers,” said Neil Garbe, director of community planning for York Region. “In any situation we’d look to a developer to prove the plans they have can be supported by the infrastructure available.” Both York and Durham agree that the infrastructure is not yet available. And they want to make sure their voices are heard. “The east-west routes are al- ready strained now,” Mr. Garbe said. “Right now the way it looks...the Province doesn’t re- ally have too much of an interest that the traffic in their develop- ment plans can be accommo- dated.” A York planning report is ask- ing the Province and Durham to do a infrastructure review to look at what impact the proposed 35,000 to 70,000 people in the north Pickering development will have on roads, water and sewer. The report said “significant” east-west transportation issues must be resolved prior to any development on the north Pick- ering lands. That includes com- pleting the Markham by-pass, widening 14th Avenue, Hwy. 7 and the York-Durham Line, and extending local and GO transit. Forecasted expansions of key water and sewer pipes and plants, including the co-owned Duffin water pollution control plant will handle the growth in Seaton, but the Province needs to speed up approvals and dish out the dough, the York report said. Regional Chairman Roger An- derson agreed. “The Province of Ontario will have no sewer or water until they work with the Region,” he said at a recent works committee meet- ing. “They can build houses with deep basements or tall buildings with empty floors” because they won’t get toilets or sinks without the Region’s approval. A provincial development of this scale has never been at- tempted before, which is why all the services need to be lined up, Mr. Garbe said. York has gone through a similar pro- cess with the Province with the Cornell development around Markham Stouffville Hospital near the Ninth Line and Hwy. 7 in Markham. For now, the two regions are working together to ensure their plans are coordinated, while waiting for the Province to re- spond, Mr. Garbe said. A financial impact study on Seaton is currently being pre- pared by Durham.

John Draper combats perceptions, stereotypes regarding the disabled By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — He doesn’t have a conventional voice, but when John Draper speaks, he gets his point across. The Durham College journalism graduate is this year’s recipient of the Glenn Crombie Memorial Award for his efforts to promote communities that include people with disabilities. An Oshawa resident, Mr. Draper has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair, but does not define himself by what he can’t do. “If we define a person by their disability and adopt the stereotyping promoted by society, then achieving equality will not be pos- sible,” he says. “It is very important to me that people focus first on John the person, then on the rookie journalist, and then the person with a disability.” A former co-operative education student with the Durham Region Media Group’s This Week com- munity newspapers, Mr. Draper has taken his Pow- erPoint presentation to a wide range of Canadian audiences, including edu- cators, professionals and community groups. His message is serious, but he employs humour in show- ing that it’s not just people with disabilities, but every- one who has a responsibil- ity to build inclusive com- munities. Mr. Draper takes advantage of technology, namely a communication board and a laptop com- puter on his wheelchair, to speak. He explains that the board displays the alpha- bet and common phrases, which he points to with his thumb. The laptop enables him to communicate by e- mail, write and use voice- output capabilities inde- pendently. Mr. Draper says in his life he has seen both sides of the coin, “extraordinary efforts to promote accep- tance, respect and acces- sibility” and “patronizing attitudes, accommodation obstacles and discrimina- tion. “When I came to Durham College there were a num- ber of barriers to accessi- bility and inclusion. There has been tremendous prog- ress since that time, both in physical accessibility and in attitudes.” He plans to continue his work in promoting a posi- tive image of people with disabilities and to further his public relations and journalism studies. The award was presented at the College Committee on Disability Issues’ annu- al conference in Picton. It recognizes a student’s con- tribution to people with disabilities or to the field of disability services in On- tario’s college system, “I am humbled that my small contributions have been recognized,” Mr. Draper said.

Literature circles are just one of 96 Durham District School Board Breakthrough programs. Breakthrough is the name for an initiative helping students in Grade 7 to 12 who are struggling in school. The program has evolved into a four-pronged approach to im- prove literacy, numeracy and pathways, and also targeting critical success factors that enable students to do their best. “Certainly, because it’s a student-led process, it’s a wonderful opportunity for stu- dents to discuss and respond and reflect upon their read- ing,” says Cathy Campbell. A Grade 7 and 8 teacher at Sherwood Public School in Oshawa, she finds that the ideal size for literature circles is about six students of vary- ing reading abilities, who are more comfortable shar- ing their ideas in the small- group setting. The circles are more informal than a regular classroom environment and students choose what they’ll read and discuss. Ms. Camp- bell says her group started off simply with DVD covers, to get students talking. To add to the no-pressure environment, there’s no written component. At Va lley Farm Public School in Pickering, The Mentor Pro- gram for Grade 7 and 8 stu- dents is helping students help themselves. Deirdre Brown, the school’s Breakthrough champion and a special-edu- cation resource teacher, says once a group of students is identified, they are asked to choose a teacher with whom they have a connection, to be their mentor. “It’s largely student-cen- tred,” she says of the half-hour- per week sessions, noting topic areas include goal-setting and dealing with peers. The school has linked with The Youth Centre, which of- fers free counselling services and programs, and has re- ferred many students there. She says students now view the centre as a partner in the school. The goals of the men- tor program include increas- ing student participation in extracurriculars such as sports and clubs, a factor in improv- ing student success. Already, Ms. Brown has seen benefits. “There’s a huge difference in student behaviour, student willingness to ask for help,” she says. Karen Hume, the board’s Breakthrough co-ordinator, notes the Province allows boards to tailor the program to their own needs. Starting out in the first year with pilot projects, this year teachers and principals had a book list- ing all of the existing projects from which they could choose from, or they could decide to create their own. Another addition this year was to have families of schools working together to better link the intermediate grades of elementary school to high school. Of the literature circles, she says students’ roles change each week, from leading the discussion group to creating artwork that represents some- thing important to what’s been read. Ms. Hume says the program fosters various strengths, such as self-esteem and verbal skills. She adds that the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course, which students must successfully complete in order to graduate from high school if they have not passed the Grade 10 literacy test, is a Breakthrough program that boasts a 95 per cent student success rate. For the first time this year, it will be offered as a sum- mer school credit program for Grade 12 students at J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate in Ajax and Eastdale Collegiate and Vo cational Institute in Osha- wa.

From left, Nirushan Mahatheva, Chris Brown, Christie-Ann Noriega, Jocelyn Adcock, Mike Henry and Victoria Breit- ner took part in a recent discussion.

L o o k i n g for a Job? THE CANADIAN HEARING SOCIETY New funding to help women in abusive situations Resource and counselling centre appeals for co-operation in project By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — The forces fighting vio- lence against women in Durham Re- gion received more ammunition this week. The Province has announced $97,820 in funding over two years for The Women’s Multicultural Resource and Counselling Centre of Durham (WMRCCD). Esther Enyolu, WMRCCD’s execu- tive director, says the money will en- hance the scope of what the non-profit organization already does, namely providing counselling and other ser- vices to Durham women and children on violence and abuse issues. How- ever she says what’s different is that the WMRCCD wants the wider com- munity to get involved in its work, and not just by listening to presentations. “We want people to take action,” Ms. Enyolu says. “We want to help them to adopt some kind of system in their own agency or group.” She explains the organization plans to meet with and spend several weeks training representatives from, for ex- ample, faith and ethnocultural groups, with the belief that their communities might be more receptive to listening to and acting upon the WMRCCD’s man- date if it comes from one of their own. Men and high-profile people like may- ors will also be asked to participate. “We want something that will be ongoing, and if they need our help we will be able to support them,” Ms. Enyolu says. “We want to provide them with tools to carry on this kind of work.” Since attitudes towards women are formed when people are quite young, she says training youth in both el- ementary and secondary schools is an essential component. “The earlier you start the better,” says Ms. Enyolu. The general public still considers abuse to only involve physical vio- lence, she says, when in fact there are other kinds such as emotional and financial abuse. When the WMRCCD comes knocking, she hopes people are receptive and eager to get involved. “We need the co-operation of ev- erybody we will be approaching to participate in the project, Ms. Enyolu says. Founded in 1993 and based in Pick- ering, the WMRCCD provides indi- vidual and group counselling, refer- rals, public education, training and support services to women of colour, immigrant and refugee women and children.

The school’s music business management program is joining forces with Long and McQuade Musical Instruments for the ses- sion. Youth ages nine to 14 have the opportunity to rock out dur- ing four, one-week camp sessions this July. Rockers from any mu- sical background come together and each person is placed in a band with members of similar experience and spend the week practising in two jam sessions each day. They also learn about the histo- ry of rock, band promotion, stage presence, live sound techniques, and song writing. Each Friday af- ternoon, family and friends are invited to watch the campers pre- form at a Festival of Rock. The audience will enjoy various mu- sical renditions of old favorites, as well as original songs written by band members. During the festival, participants experience a day in the life of a rock star, which includes a radio interview, band photo signing, and sound checks. Each rocker receives an official camp T-shirt, an all-access back- stage pass, and has the chance to win musical instruments or equipment. To register online, visit www. schoolofrocknroll.durhamcol- lege.ca or call 1-800-461-3260. For more information about the camp, call Joanne Robertson at 905-721-3111.

They took home the gold in their category at the ninth annual Picker- ing Dragon Boat Challenge, but it was a victory of a different sort that brought the team together last year. These ladies have a common bond: They are all breast cancer survivors from around Durham, now a team 26-strong on the water and off. They were one of 80 teams partici- pating in a variety of categories last Saturday and Sunday at the regatta, an event that has burgeoned from 12 teams when it started nine years ago to an overwhelming 104 last year. Event organizers decided to put a cap of 80 teams on the Frenchman’s Bay event to keep it manageable. Dragon boats are about 12 me- tres long and one metre at the wid- est point, and the modern-day races can be traced to traditions that are believed to date back 2,500 years in south-east Asia. A dragon boat team typically has 20 paddlers, one drum- mer at the front, and one steersper- son. Chris Todd, a member of the Pick- ering Dragon Boat Club and the coach of the Pink Sensations, explained that dragonboating has been adopted as an activity of choice for breast cancer survivors. Doctors often recommend it and, because of the large teams, teammates find “unity in survivor- ship.” Many of the teammates met at Hearth Place, a cancer support centre in Oshawa, explained team vice-president Rosemary Aiken. She added that the group spans a wide age range, from 42 to 72. “It’s nice to be with other women knowing they’ve been through the same thing,” said Agi Witkowskyj, a member of the team from Pickering. “It’s quite a bond.” Dragon boat races for victors and survivors A/P PAGE 18 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 10, 2005 durhamregion.com durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 10, 2005 PAGE 19 A/P 5 ,/+/2'!# .$ ./ ."'

Seniors’ homes in Durham play host to open houses DURHAM — Retirement residences across the re- gion are opening their doors to the public this month in an effort to raise awareness about their ser- vices. Open Doors takes place Saturday, June 18, with more than a third of the province’s 1,500 retirement residences and long-term care homes taking part in helping celebrate June as Seniors’ Month. Individuals contemplat- ing residential choices for themselves or for fam- ily members are invited to local residences for tours, events and more. “O pen Doors is a day to educate the public about the important issues of senior care and living op- tions,” says Gord White, CEO of the Ontario Retire- ment Communities Asso- ciation. “We believe that the strength of this event, its community grass-roots approach and province- w ide participation will help de-mystify the senior care industry and help seniors and their families make informed decisions for their future.” Participating retirement residences in Durham in- clude Ballycliffe Lodge, 70 Station St. in Ajax; White Cliffe Terrace Retirement Residence, 1460 Hwy. 2, in Courtice; Marnwood Lif- ecare Centre and Retire- ment Residence, 26 Elgin St., in Bowmanville and Strathaven Lifecare and Retirement Residence, 264 King St. E., Bowman- ville; the Centennial Re- tirement Residence, 259 Hillcroft St., in Oshawa; the Wynfield, 451 Wood- mount Dr., Oshawa; and Thorntonview Long Term Care, 186 Thornton Rd.

Young Eagles get a bird’s-eye view of Durham By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — If there’s one thing all airports have in common — aside from the planes — it’s the tall forbid- ding fences that surround every inch of runway. While it’s probably a good idea to keep wandering pedestrians away from all those spinning propellers, longtime pilot Doug Raine says these barriers also keep most people from learning about the joy of flying. “It makes the whole thing kind of mysterious,” says the Bowmanville resident, who took up flying as a hobby more than 20 years ago. “A lot of people who live in this area have never even visited the Oshawa airport.” Hundreds of local kids will get that chance on June 11, with a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the inner work- ings of the airport, and a bird’s-eye view of Durham. For the last 10 years, local pilots have been donating their time and their planes for Young Eagles Day, an annual event started by the Experimental Aircraft Asso- ciation in the U.S. Kids between the ages of 8 and 17 start the day with a ground briefing that covers safety, plane facts and some of the science behind flight. Then it’s off to meet their pilot and explore their plane before donning a headset and buckling in for a flight. “It’s such an exciting ex- perience for the kids, for some of them it’s their first time in a plane,” says Cher- yl Marek, an elementary school teacher from Oshawa who flies in her spare time. “You wouldn’t believe the smiles on their faces when they see their house or their school from the air.” Depending on wind con- ditions, the flight path usu- ally includes the Lake On- tario shoreline and Darling- ton Provincial Park. Over 10 years, it’s esti- mated that members of COPA Flight 70, the Osha- wa branch of the Canadian Owners and Pilots Associa- tion, have flown with 5,300 Yo ung Eagles. Each one goes home with an official certificate and has their name entered in the world’s largest logbook, which can be viewed online. As well as promoting the fun of flying, COPA mem- bers say the experience makes young people aware of all the aviation-related careers available to them — from airport management to engineering. For the adults who tag along, it’s a chance to learn little known facts about their local airport. “I’ll bet most people don’t know that we have two flight academies and a controller training centre right here in Oshawa,” Ms. Marek says. “It’s a great opportunity for everyone to learn some- thing new about the air- port.” For more information about Young Eagles, visit www. youngeagles.org or www. eaa.org.

Durham Pride Weekend kicks off tomorrow Ajax and Pickering youth exchange their culture for another DURHAM — Seven Ajax and Pickering youths are travelling to new opportu- nities. The Summer Work — Student Exchange pro- gram, has announced seven youth representatives of the Ajax-Pickering and Picker- ing-Scarborough East rid- ings who will live for six weeks this summer in Saint- Maurice-Champlain, Que- bec and Beausejour, New Brunswick. While there, they will work full-time, improve their French skills, and learn about Canadian culture. Florence Prabhu, Keri- ann Sullivan, Lesa-Marie Andrew, Paul Hanz, Dan- iel Gardner, Colin Cassidy and Pierre Smith are par- ticipating in the program. While local students are in their summer homes, the Ajax-Pickering communi- ties will host Francophone students. The program is funded through the Department of Canadian Heritage through Exchanges Canada and transportation is provided by Via Rail. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 10, 2005 PAGE 21 A/P home sweethomehome ADVERTISING FEATURE Start with small hand-painted furniture accents. Perhaps a cabinet or table. Functional and decorative, they are guaranteed to add visual impact and drama to any room. Think beyond the living room. Try placing one in the foyer, bedroom, bathroom or kitchen. Remember, the ‘feel’ of your home is set at the entrance. Today’s trend - place a cabinet in the foyer for storing unsightly keys, gloves, or hats. On the cabinet we suggest a beautiful lamp and a seasonal permanent fl oral arrangement. A framed mirror mounted on the wall behind, casts an interesting refl ective pattern from the lamplight. Hand-painted cabinets also come fi tted with a marble top and sink and will turn a drab powder room into a beautiful, elegant and glamourous one. From big trunks to small trunks, trunks are one of the most versatile, popular and decorative accent pieces today! Use in the bathroom to store toilet tissue; in the living or dining room fi lled with fl owers, greenery, decorator cushions; or in the family room to hide the remote. In our ad we’ve created a stunning fl oral arrangement in an over-sized picnic basket. Made from wood, leather, rattan or metal, and placed on the fl oor or on a cabinet, table or mantel, trunks add character and charm to any room, including your offi ce. The perfect accessory to help keep you organized. Storage is limited only to your imagination.

The Region is currently looking into alternatives to shipping its waste to Michi- gan, and has undergone public meetings. The terms of an environmental assess- ment study are being devel- oped and, since York Re- gion has expressed interest, it will be included as a pos- sible location, said Works Commissioner Cliff Curtis. An “in-Durham” solution is being sought, including energy from waste and in- cineration. The environ- mental assessment process and studies are expected to cost $4.8 million. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 10, 2005 PAGE 27 A/P 900 Champlain Ave.,Oshawa 1-800-642-4561 or (905) 723-5211 OSHAWA Store Hours :Mon.- Wed.9:30 a.m.- 6 p.m.Thurs.& Fri.9:30 a.m.- 9 p.m.Sat.10 a.m.- 6 p.m.Sun.11 a.m.- 5 p.m. Floor Model Sell Off but weʼll d ed u ct t h e amount equal t o t h e p s t fr o m you r purchasebut weʼll d ed u ct t h e amount equal t o t h e g s t f r o m you r purchaseHurry in for best selection Quantities are limited!

The Ajax man is helping take research to the next level as the local ambassador for the Wheels In Motion event scheduled for Sunday, June 12 at Rotary Park in Ajax. The fundraiser, in its third year, is aimed at raising awareness to help improve the quality of life for those affected. The event was created by Cana- dian Rick Hansen, well-known for his Man in Motion tour that took him around the world in his wheelchair. Mr. Carr was born with spina bifida, a neural defect caused during fetal development, that was further complicated follow- ing a car accident in 1996. Since then he has been working to- wards improving his own life as well as others through his com- munity involvement. “I sat on the (Ajax) advisory committee, but I didn’t feel like I was making enough progress,” said Mr. Carr. He is actively trying to add wheelchair accessibility to local businesses and other facili- ties in the area. He now spends his time advocating on his own. “I find some businesses are quick to pick up on (our needs), and getting some others to respond is like pulling teeth,” he added. He explained that although some buildings have added but- tons to remotely open doors for the handicapped, a “lack of com- munication” between different parties has made some of these controls hard to reach. “Sometimes there are objects in front of (the buttons),” he said, adding that these objects can be garbage cans and other obstacles. “Everyone is just doing their job... they build things where they are told to build it,” he noted, add- ing that a little more discussion between planners would make things easier. Mr. Carr is taking the time to promote Wheels In Motion be- cause he feels the charity can really make a difference for local projects. “Fifty per cent of the funds (raised) stay in the community,” he explained, adding that the rest goes to the national organi- zation. He said this is a perfect time to become involved. “Most of what (researchers) have learned about spinal cord injuries has been in the last 10 years,” he noted. He explained that the spine is very fragile and it doesn’t take much to upset the nerves inside. “It (injury) can happen in car accidents, diving accidents, any- thing causing compression... It could be anyone, and you might find yourself needing the funds one day,” he said. As it stands now, he explained, surgical procedures to correct problems with the spinal cord are very risky. “Doctors will only operate on you once... spinal is final,” he said. He added that the surgery is tricky because the nerve dam- age can vary in degree and the symptoms are always different. Anyone wishing to participate in this year’s event is invited to come as an individual or to help form a team. Registration is at 9 a.m., fol- lowed by the event start at 10 a.m. Showing up on foot, on a bike, or on wheels are all wel- come. To register, visit www.wheel- sinmotion.org.

Gift Card Give Dad the Gift Card from Hbc! Father’s Day is Sunday, June 19TH ive him a gift that’s just right... G more than you came for By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Last week, General Motors of Canada accepted its second major award in less than a month, as officials mulled over declining sales figures for May. According to the 2005 Harbour Re- port released last Thursday, Oshawa’s Plant 1 is the most productive vehi- cle assembly plant in North America, clocking 15.85 hours per vehicle. This recognition came on the heels of last month’s J.D. Power and Associates sur- vey, in which Plant 2 captured the gold award for quality, with only 85 prob- lems reported per 100 vehicles. “Oshawa car plant employees can be proud of their No. 1 ranking in produc- tivity on top of their world-renowned quality awards,” said Canadian Auto Wo rkers President Buzz Hargrove. “Our Canadian members are well-positioned to play in the very challenging automo- tive global arena of quality and produc- tivity.” Despite this silver lining, the compa- ny continues to report declining sales, while the Canadian market saw the worst new vehicle sales performance for the month of May, since 1999. “The Canadian market is dead flat, it’s a very negative outlook,” said Dennis DesRosiers, one of the country’s lead- ing auto industry analysts. “It has a lot to do with the U.S. market, which has been very poor for a while now. If the Americans aren’t buying cars, we aren’t producing them.” This is especially worrying for GM Canada, which exports about 90 per cent of its Canadian-made vehicles, to the U.S. In May, GM Canada saw a 13 per cent drop in total car sales compared with the same period last year, and a 3.3 per cent drop in combined vehicle sales. In year-to-date figures, the company reports only a 1.9 per cent drop in total car sales, however the May statistics are considered more significant as that is traditionally the best-selling month of the year for dealers. Despite reports that the American parent company GM Inc. might cut third-quarter production across North America, GM Canada spokeswoman Pam McLaughlin said production is booming in Oshawa. “We’re actually doing overtime at the truck plant this month, we’re going strong,” she said. “Truck sales have been very good, especially the crew cabs. Customers are picking up on their versatility.” GM Canada reported an 8.6 per cent increase in truck sales for the month of May, and a 10 per cent increase in entry-level car sales, which include the new Pontiac Wave/Pursuit and the Chevrolet Cobalt/Aveo. As well, sales almost tripled for the Oshawa-built Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra crew cabs. “It’s very encouraging that the new ve- hicles are picking up, and we’re hopeful that as we continue to introduce more new products, we will see more uptake in the market,” said Ms. McLaughlin. Local plant productive, but GM sales off Pilot program offered to foreign-born teachers By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — Marjan Ha- jizamanali, originally from Iran, says the hardest part about starting a teaching career here was taking the first step. “I didn’t know where to go and how to go, because when I came to Canada three years ago people told me it was really hard to be a teacher,” she said. A Pickering resident with a master’s degree in math and science, she saw a story in this newspaper about the Teach in Durham program and signed up. It was the beginning she was looking for, and Ms. Hajizamanali is now pre- paring to attend the Uni- versity of Windsor to get her bachelor of education. “The project attempted to bridge the gap for people with foreign credentials, to move them closer to certi- fication and employment,” says Monica McClure, Te ach in Durham project manager. The five-part pilot pro- gram, unique to the Dur- ham board, saw it partner with the University of On- tario Institute of Technolo- gy and the Community De- velopment Council of Dur- ham. Participants received training in the sector-spe- cific language of educa- tion in Ontario, advanced computer training and workshops on teaching in Durham. Finally, they were helped with their applica- tions to the Ontario Col- lege of Teachers and placed in a local classroom for an internship. Established by the Province, the program lasted about three months and targeted the tradition- al shortage of teachers in areas such as French and technology. At an informal ceremo- ny for the 13 graduates at Durham Training Solutions in Oshawa, Ms. McClure described the group as “a dream class” and urged them to stay in touch to report how they’re doing. Language training teacher Larry Simpson says on the first day, he asked students to talk about the schools they attended, an exercise that was to have taken just a few minutes. “An hour later we were still talking,” he says, add- ing that the group bonded right away and from the start “was so interested in everything.” One of the issues that kept coming forward was the difference between classroom management in the 12 foreign countries the course-takers represented and in Ontario. While she taught for more than 20 years in Africa, Nigerian- born Titi Olubuyide, who arrived in Canada last sum- mer, says she had a lot to learn about Ontario class- rooms. “In my country, students will stand to answer a ques- tion,” she said. “If a child doesn’t do his work or be- comes rude, I would prob- ably send him out of the classroom, invite his par- ents in for a talk.” Ms. Olubuyide says an of- fending student would end up publicly apologizing in front of the whole school. Here, she has learned that “you don’t put a child on the spot.” She’s ahead of the game in terms of the other graduates: Ms. Olubuyide received her Ontario Col- lege of Teachers certifica- tion in March after start- ing the application process before leaving her country. She is on the Durham Dis- trict School Board’s supply teacher list and “I hope to have my own classroom by next year; I’ve already ap- plied.” Nabila Ballok moved from her native Lebanon to Oshawa and then Ajax eight months ago. She taught French for 15 years and says “the course offered me everything I need for certification with the OCT.” Like other participants, Ms. Ballok did an internship in front of a class, in her case at Southwood Park Public School in Ajax. “It went very well and I got experience,” she says. “I had the opportunity to ask many questions about what I needed to know about the curriculum, expectations.” Pickering resident Dora Morrison says she’s return- ing to the workforce after staying home for 16 years. She hails from Argentina, saw the same newspaper story on the program, and was one of 70 people who applied. She’s not sure of her next step, but intends to resume a teaching career that lasted just five years. “Maybe not teaching school-age children but adults,” says Ms. Morrison. “My background is in math and computer science.” Ms. McClure says she’s hopeful she can access more government funding for the program in the fu- ture. A/P PAGE 30 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 10, 2005 durhamregion.com Lakeridge Health hosts inaugural session for Ontario addiction counsellors By David Blumenfeld Staff Writer WHITBY — For the first time, the Pinewood Centre of Lakeridge Health held a one-day workshop to train addiction counsellors from outside the corporation. Counsellors from across Ontario gathered June 3 in Whitby to learn about the Dawn Program, a motiva- tional community treatment program developed by Pine- wood 10 years ago to as- sist youth facing substance abuse. “When we began sharing this package with others in the province, the demand was so great that we needed to do this training just to re- spond to the demand,” Pine- wood director Paul McGary said. “Others were so eager to get their hands on it. Rath- er than just distribute it, we wanted to accompany it with the formal training by the clinicians who were actually doing the work.” The Dawn Program fo- cuses on substance abuse risks, its effect on the body and mind, dependence and relationships and substance abuse. Allison Potts and Jeff Gauthier, two senior addic- tion counsellors at Pinewood Centre, facilitated the confer- ence. “I think the most impor- tant emphasis is how to work with youth who aren’t sure they want to make a change in their substance use, and how to approach the infor- mation and the youth in a way that’s respectful and will give them a way to make in- formed choices, and feel like they can process it out in their own time,” Ms. Potts said. “The fact that we have a pro- gram that youth are willing to come to — even if they’re not sure they know what they want to do about their drug use — gives them an oppor- tunity to make changes, even if it’s small changes.” Mr. Gauthier said the counsellors are taught to be completely non-judgemental and supportive in their work. “I think it’s important that the youth have an opportu- nity to get this information so that when they do make their choices, they’re making informed choices,” he said. “We know that most youth will experiment with some substances through their high school years. To have the opportunity to do some risk-reduction around that is very important.” Dan Bajorek, a child and family therapist from Mus- koka, said he came to the workshop to get up-to-date information on what works best with teens. “It’s probably a program that’s relevant for any one working with teens,” he said. “If kids know that you’re in- terested and attuned to what their going through, they’re going to be opening up more to you.” He called substance abuse a “huge problem,” one peo- ple are just cracking the tip of the iceberg on. “The ideal for me, in my role, is to go back to my com- munity and really give teens the best information possi- ble, so that when they go out on a Friday night and they’re going to have a party week- end, that most of them are still around on that Monday morning and are able to say ‘Hey, we made some good choices,’” he said.

The native of Colombia, new resi- dent of Whitby and former resident of Ajax, is one of 10 finalists in the competition held by ‘Guitar Player’ magazine. “O ne of my big idols is going to be there as a judge, Joe Satriani,” Coronado said. “I never thought I’d be playing before him.” A year ago in April, Coronado saw an ad in the magazine, known to guitarists around the world, for a Guitar Hero competition. He de- cided to enter and sent in his infor- mation and a song. “I recorded the first song of my instrumental album for that contest. It was the very first one I’d done in- strumentally.” But Coronado didn’t hear back and thought nothing was going to happen. “All of a sudden, the day of my birthday in April, I received a mes- sage from the Guitar Player editor- in-chief. He told me I was selected out of thousands of people who sent in entries, as one of the best 10. “You can imagine what a birthday present that was. I was shocked and happy. Now I am on this adventure and pretty excited about it.” Coronado grew up in Colombia, the son of parents who both played guitar. His father was a famous writer and singer. Coronado, with all the music and guitars around him, wanted nothing to do with that world. “I hated it,” he said. In fact, his father gave him a guitar when Coronado was about five or six. He’d been hoping for some cars and trucks and was disappointed. But when he was about 15, about the time his parents had stopped pressuring him to learn guitar, Coro- nado developed an interest in it. His mom gave him his first lesson and he learned from books at home. “I’ve been playing ever since,” he said, noting he played rock, not Latin music. He played with bands and had a No. 1 song on the radio at one point. When he moved here, he realized he had to start all over again. He has his own studio and is concentrat- ing on instrumental music. He has eight songs written for a new CD, ‘Renewal’, and is working on more. He still has students from the Ajax and Pickering area and really hated leaving Ajax where he says he en- joyed jogging by the waterfront. In his music, he’s changed since coming to Canada, he says. He hasn’t abandoned rock but has turned to his Latin roots. “When I was in Colombia, I was different because I was a rocker. Now I’m here and I’m like every- body, just one more. So I found the voice of the Latin music that I never really explored before. It’s a part of me.” He’s hoping that’s what the Guitar Player folks heard in his song. And he’s hoping it will help him become the Guitar Hero of the competition. To hear selections from Corona- do’s CD, visit www.juancoronado. com. Arts in brief JUNE 10, 2005 Shorts and to the artist’s point DURHAM — Creative minds will find no shortage of inspiration at the Summer Shorts workshop program being offered by Durham College.

A child’s take on the Depression AJAX — An Ajax author is taking readers back to the Great De- pression. George Heron’s book ‘Child of the Great Depression: Growing up in downtown Toronto during the 1930s’ is about life in the city as seen through the eyes of a child. “I am retired now, so I wanted to do something as a pastime” says Heron explaining what inspired him to write the book. The book has a large nostalgic value which is depicted through a variety of Heron’s personal experi- ences. It also compares many facts of life then to today’s situations.

Hurdler posts season’s best time at Prefontaine Classic in Oregon By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — It was a break- out performance, the best thus far this season for Pickering Olympian Perdita Felicien. At the Prefontaine Classic track meet in Eugene, Oregon last weekend, the 24-year-old two-time world champion won the 100-metre hurdles in a world best time this year of 12.58 sec- onds. And, in doing so, she de- feated American Joanna Hayes, the Olympic gold medallist at Athens, who finished second in 12.72, followed by Jamaican Brigitte Foster who was third in 12.76. “Yeah, I was very happy with my race,” says Fe- licien, reached in Illinois M onday. “I went in w ith more focus than I’ve had all season. I changed some things since California (where she fin- ished fourth two weeks ago). I just focused on my lane and what I needed to do. I wanted to come out, prove myself and run fast in the 12.50 range, and I was glad that I was able to do it.” There were a couple of keys to the win, says Felicien. “I wanted to get a better start. I’ve started being my normal aggressive self and taking risks again. I proved I could get out ahead of the rest of the girls and run a winning race,” she says. Felicien downplayed, however, any extra motivation to defeat Hayes, saying she’s more focused on getting better herself and run- ning a sound, technical race. “I don’t think it’s good to focus on one person. If she’s not in the race what do you use for motiva- tion? It’s good just to run against myself and run against the clock — that’s what I’m focusing on.” Despite Saturday’s result, she warns that she isn’t where she should be at this point in the season. “I’m happy with the win, but I’m nowhere close (to top form). There’s so much more I need to do. I’m not as sharp as I need to be, I was way sharper last year,” she says. She says this is borne out with the strenuous workouts she’s put through by longtime coach Gary Winckler. She says Winckler has ramped up the workouts in re- cent weeks in order that she be fully prepared for the outdoor world championships in Helsin- ki, Finland in early August. “He’s hard on me in practice. He knows that it’s crunch time and I need him to be hard on me now. Two months from now I’ll be on the starting line for the biggest race of the year, so that’s where my focus lies.” Next week, Felicien will jet to Europe where she will compete in meets in Ulm, Germany on June 12, followed by another meet in Lucerne, Switzerland on June 14. She also plans to com- pete at several other European meets this summer, including one in Rome, although that part of her schedule has yet to be fi- nalized. Felicien back on top of the world Perdita Felicien Sports briefs JUNE 10, 2005 [ Touch football ] Get in touch for tournaments DURHAM — The Durham Touch Football League is looking for teams for its inaugural Summer Classic tour- naments in August.

[ Soccer ] Ajax girls repeat as tournament champions AJAX — Familiar faces once again hold the COVI title. The Ajax United Lightning under- 10 girls’ soccer team defended their crown at the 2005 City Of Vaughan Invitational (COVI) championships. The Lightning blitzed Vaughan Azzuri 6-0 in the final. Nadia Ben Ham- oud was named game MVP. In the semifinal, Ajax trailed 1-0 at halftime to the Wexford Wildcats. In dramatic fashion, the Lightning turned it around and won 2-1 in overtime. Before that, Ajax played three games, scoring 18 goals, and allowing none. Other team members are Jordan Thornton, Stephanie Di Vita, Shaniqua Meikle, Katelyn Hailey, Nikki Sale, Julie Devost, Aliya Lindo, Carlie Stewart, Sharita Henry, Michelle Blakely and Brianne Wagar.

Call Scott Burrows at 905-721-9042. Senior Bs must also replay suspended game against St. Clair DURHAM — Calling it a “black eye” on lacrosse, the Ontario La- crosse Association has lowered the boom on the Ajax-Pickering Rock and St. Clair Storm for their roles in a melee two weeks ago in Sarnia. A hearing at the OLA offices in To ronto Tuesday night brought to- gether executives from both clubs, along with league commissioner Mac Mason and disciplinary com- mittee members Chuck Miller and John Doherty. The league handed down a series of fines and suspen- sions immediately following the meeting, stemming from the senior ‘B’ lacrosse game May 28. In the end, Rock’s Brandon La- forme, Shawn Summerfield and D.J. Cox had their suspensions increased to five games from four. Goaltender Jay Preece had his suspension re- duced to three games from four. As well, the Rock were assessed a $500 fine. A further $100 fine was levied as a Rock bench official wasn’t listed on the game sheet. Meanwhile, St. Clair’s Tommy Quinn, Brian Quinn and Jeff Cox were assessed five-game suspen- sions for their roles in the fracas that broke out at 9:46 mark of the second period. The game was later suspended after police arrived at the scene to restore calm. A $500 was also levied against the Storm for lack of game security at the arena. The Storm, however, is reportedly ap- pealing that fine. Mason says he’s hopeful the fines and suspensions will curtail any fu- ture problems. “They’ve all been warned by the president. It’s no good, just a black eye (on lacrosse),” says Mason. To add insult to injury for the Rock, league officials also ruled that the game would have to be replayed in its entirety. The Rock were leading 10-4 at the suspension of play. Rock officials were hoping the league would rule it a complete game or, at the very least, deem that it be re- played at a neutral site. The game is tentatively booked to be replayed on Sunday, June 19 in Sarnia. Mason says because two com- pleted periods weren’t on the books when play was suspended, a league rule states the game must be re- played. The league wouldn’t con- sider the contest being played at an alternate location. Suffice it to say, the Rock are not impressed with the league rulings, especially the prospect of incurring another $2,400 in travel expenses to go to Sarnia for another game against the Storm. “It stinks, it really does,” says St. John. Mason says the Storm will have to provide increased security at the remainder of its games this season. And, they’ll have to relinquish their dressing room, as the visitors’ chang- eroom is too close to the stands. St. John’s happy, however, that there will be more security in place when the Rock replay the game June. 19. “I don’t want to walk into an am- bush there,” says St. John. Rock rattled by suspensions, fines over melee Senior Bs earn split of games last weekend By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — Hobbled by a dearth of players due to suspensions and injuries, the Ajax-Pickering Rock will nonetheless soldier on this weekend in its biggest test of the senior ‘B’ lacrosse season. With four players suspended and four out with injuries, the Rock head into Owen Sound to face the Woodsmen Saturday night. It’s the first time the Rock (3-4-1 for seven points, third in East Division) have played the Woodsmen since the Owen Sound squad (4-2-1, second in West) ousted them from the league semifinal playoff series in a fifth and deciding game last year. “Yeah, they’ll be a big test for us,” says Rock head coach Paul St. John. “As good as Mohawk has been this year, I still feel the elite teams in the league are Owen Sound and Kitchener-Waterloo.” The Rock continues to be without start- ing goaltender Jay Preece, who will serve his final game of a three-game suspension on Saturday. D.J. Cox, Shawn Summerfield and Brandon Laforme will continue their five-game suspensions levied by the league for their part in a brawl in Sarnia against the St. Clair Storm two weeks ago. Meanwhile, on the shelf are Steve Dunn (knee, indefinite), Aaron Binstock (broken hand, indefinite), Todd Hollinshead (wrist, day-to-day), and Ian Harloff (leg, day-to- day). Last weekend, the Rock were also at a su- preme disadvantage with a lack of players, but still managed to earn a split of games, posting a 9-7 victory over the Merchants (5- 4-0, second in East Division) in Brooklin on Saturday night. On Sunday afternoon, how- ever, with only 13 players making the trip to Brantford to play the first-place Mohawk Stars (6-1-0, first in West Division), the Rock fell 14-6. The manpower shortage was so severe that St. John was forced to borrow equip- ment and suit up for the game. He took a few shifts on the defensive end of the floor to spell off an already stretched defensive corps. All in all, the travel, the short bench and the fact the Rock played less than 24 hours earlier in Brooklin made a victory against Mohawk all but impossible, says St. John. Captain Jim Veltman led the way with a hat trick. Other scorers were Brad Cann, Ed Fines and Jaime Lumsden. Assists went to John Derochie with three, Mark Craig with two, St. John, Dave Power, Lumsden, Jeremy Scheetz, and affiliated player Kyle Swind- ells. Meanwhile, the Rock received an out- standing performance by Veltman to get past Brooklin in their first meeting of the season. Of the nine Rock goals, Veltman was in on eight of them, including scoring two. “I don’t know if he’s on a mission this year or not, but he’s been very, very good,” notes St. John of the 39-year-old who’s playing for the Ajax-Pickering squad during the off-sea- son from the Toronto Rock of the National Lacrosse League. The Rock’s other pro, Jason Crosbie, scored a pair of goals, including the final marker of the game, after the Merchants had closed the gap to 8-7. Craig also contributed a strong game with a five-point night (three goals). Other Rock goals were scored by Bill McLean and Brad Cann. Other assists went to Graham Passmore.
