Ajax Mayor Steve Parish, working from a letter from a resident who wanted to ask Durham residents whether to directly elect the region- al chairman on the next municipal election ballot, tried to get council to endorse the move at Wednesday’s meeting. “It seems like if you want to deep- six any sign of reform around here you refer it to the regional retreat,” Mayor Parish said, referring to the move to have the issue dealt with at council’s private meeting in the fall. “I take great exception to that,” Ux- bridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor said. “Well, consider where it’s com- ing from,” Regional Chairman Roger Anderson replied. Leaving it until the retreat would make it impossible to get it on the November 2006 ballot, Mayor Par- ish said. The move needs to be ap- proved by a bylaw at least six months before the election itself. “People are starting to think it seems to be archaic, our system of appointing a regional chair,” said Ajax councillor Colleen Jordan. “Leave the question and answer to democracy.” But several councillors, rehashing the debate from last year, said mak- ing the chairman directly elected would leave north Durham with less power and bring party politics into regional council. Others said individual municipalities could put the question on their own ballots without having to go through the Region. The move was lost 19 to 7, with two absent. Mayor Parish said the question will appear in Ajax. Give your home a new look for Summer We are Durham’s fl ooring experts!

Chairman referendum v oted down Fire rips through wildlife sanctuary By Mike Ruta Staff Writer PICKERING — Pickering Fire Services came to the res- cue Wednesday after a fire tore through a building housing around 200 animals at the Sec- ond Chance Wildlife Sanctuary. Firefighters were called to the north Pickering property, at 2060 Concession Rd. 7, around 4:50 p.m. Deputy Fire Chief Mark Di- otte says the fire was contained to a large wooden structure, called the Sanctuary Building. “There was about $10,000 in damage to the building,” he says. “Unfortunately, two kittens and a rabbit perished, but PFS saved over 200 animals.” He said the fire service is try- ing to determine a cause. Second Chance was founded in 1996 and its mandate is to help orphaned, sick, injured or abandoned animals. Founder and president Joyce Smith was still upset Thursday morning, but said she thanked God that all the animals weren’t lost. She had only praise for the firefighters, who entered the building and re- moved the cages containing the animals. “The fire department was won- derful,” she said, noting firefight- ers administered oxygen to ani- mals that required help. ✦ See Sanctuary, Page 5 P PAGE 2 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 17, 2005 durhamregion.com DINING & ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE &INE!UTHENTIC)NDIAN#UISINE /0%.45%3 35. &OR$AILY,UNCH"UFFET 2EADERS#HOICE!WARD h4HE.EWS!DVERTISERv 905-686-5553 611 Kingston Rd.

Man surrenders to police; victim, 28, has life-threatening injuries PICKERING — Police have made one arrest and continue to investigate the attempted murder of a man in Pickering last weekend. A Pickering man surrendered to police Tuesday night and has been charged with attempted murder in the incident, which left a 28-year-old victim with life-threatening injuries. Durham Regional Police say a dis- pute outside a townhouse complex on Rosefield Road, in the Kingston Road-Liverpool Road area, started around 10 p.m. last Saturday. The victim, who was stabbed in the torso, was rushed to hospital and later airlifted to intensive care in To- ronto. Based on information they gath- ered, police obtained an arrest war- rant for a suspect Monday. On Tues- day night, the man surrendered at the Ajax-Pickering community police office. Sean Tyrone Grant, 24, of Poppy Lane, is charged with attempted mur- der, carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a dangerous weapon. Detectives are still trying to identify other men who may have been in- volved in the incident and are asking for anyone with information to come forward.

Steve from PICKERING Minimal outages, accidents as a result of intense weather By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — The Region of Durham emerged from Tuesday night’s fierce summer storm with only the odd power surge and bro- ken tree to report. Despite the heavy winds, driving rain, lightning and hail that swept through local municipalities just before 9 p.m., Durham Regional Police said no traffic accidents or other emergencies were reported as a result of the weather. A broken tree and a small tree fire in Whitby kept firefighters busy for a short time, but no other fire services reported storm-related calls. In other parts of Ontario, 16,000 residents were without power Tuesday night and into Wednes- day morning, however no major outages affected Durham. Officials at Veridian said their Ajax and Pickering customers ex- perienced a few split-second in- terruptions, while Hydro One re- ported no problems at all. Elsewhere in the province, Envi- ronment Canada issued warnings that tornados had touched down in Fergus and Elmvale, Tuesday evening. A funnel cloud was also sighted over Bracebridge, but did not touch down. A break in the hazy, humid weather means a much calmer weather forecast for the next week, with only moderate showers ex- pected to interrupt otherwise sunny days.

DURHAM — Durham’s two Fa- mous Players movie theatres will soon be operating under a new name, after this week’s announce- ment that Cineplex Galaxy LP pur- chased the Famous Players business from Viacom Inc. The transaction combines Cana- da’s two leading theatre exhibition companies. Famous Players operates a total of 81 locations and 787 screens across the country, including theatres at the Oshawa Centre and Pickering Town Centre. The company’s brands include Coliseum, Colossus, Paramount and SilverCity. Cineplex Galaxy operates 86 the- atres with 775 screens across Cana- da, under the Cineplex Odeon and Galaxy brands. The company cur- rently has local theatres in Claring- ton and Ajax. “I am thrilled to make this an- nouncement” said Ellis Jacob, presi- dent and CEO of Cineplex Galaxy LP. “Working in conjunction with Onex Corporation, our largest unit holder and controlling partner, we are bringing together two great companies and are creating an ex- ceptional opportunity to build value through an improved cost structure and expanded product offerings.” According to officials at Cineplex Galaxy, Durham’s two Famous Play- ers theatres will see minimal chang- es as a result of the transaction. The $500-million deal is expected to close in the third quarter of this year.

Ms. Smith said she opened an upstairs window in her house Wednesday afternoon and the smell of smoke drifted in. Thick smoke was billowing out of the building and it was in flames. She went inside to try and rescue the animals, mostly cats, but had to leave. “My eyes were burning and I started choking,” she says. Ms. Smith says the sanctuary building is “ruined” due to the smoke and water damage and broken glass. The animals are now being housed in an old school portable on the property, which she says is less than ideal. “The roof is leaking and they’re all pressed in there,” she said. “It’s just horrible for them; they’re all traumatized.” Several animals that survived bear evidence of the fire, singed ears and whiskers, and Ms. Smith said it was a miracle that the mother cat who lost the kittens survived, as her cage was close to the blaze and parts of it had melted. She says it will take a lot of donations from the public to re- pair the building and make it fit for animals again, appealing for help.

A Pickering firefighter administers oxygen to a cat following its rescue from a fire at the Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary in north Pickering Wednesday. ✦ Sanctuary from page 1 Sanctuary ruined by blaze By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Concerns from councillors and residents have de- ferred a zoning bylaw application amendment to build 16 townhouses on Sheppard Avenue, but the com- mercial component fronting Kings- ton Road was given the go ahead Monday night. The planning application came to Pickering’s executive committee meeting where a few people who live near the proposed site, east of Whites Road (the site was the for- mer home of the Dunbarton Public School), pointed out flaws in the plan before councillors did their own critiquing. “I’m extremely disappointed in the developer for not taking into consideration our personal needs,” said John Ibbetson, who lives on Sheppard Avenue and would be separated from the commercial plaza and townhouses by one other property. Mr. Ibbetson previously raised concerns over the application at a public information meeting. He has concerns about the walkway con- necting Sheppard Avenue to the plaza and doesn’t think the town- houses fit with the current residen- tial make up. Sylvia Spencer, who also lives on Sheppard Avenue, said she would like to see semi-detached homes, rather than the townhouses. Alexander Krebelj of Ajax isn’t opposed to the development, but made a special request for when it is built. “I’m not looking to stop this, I’m looking for some minor alterations to recognize our past,” he said, re- ferring to the school, which he at- tended in the 1960s. He suggested a plaque be erected to recognize the history of the site, even offering to donate the original date stone, or that the new buildings take styling cues from the school. Pickering staff is going to talk with him about his ideas. Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson took issue with the lack of parking available for the townhouse residents and their guests. “I can see in some respects the recipe for disaster,” he said. He also had a problem with the walkway, which he said just creates problems with garbage and loiter- ing. The zoning bylaw amendment for the commercial application, which includes three retail buildings (one would have an upper-level office component), was approved, while the zoning on the block of the plan for residential use was deferred.

A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 17, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Time to stop the brawling before tra gedy strikes Sports leagues have big role to play in keeping players, fans safe I t’s sports at its worst — two teams throwing play aside for a good, old-fashioned brawl. When you consider one is too many, the fact Ajax-Pick- ering teams have been involved in two such melees of late is troubling. The most recent incident came in Sarnia when the Ajax-Pickering Rock Senior ‘B’ lacrosse team went toe-to- toe with the St. Clair Storm for about 15 minutes, with 20 police officers needed to restore order. Along with the play- ers, fans were in on the fray, blocking the Rock from their dressing room and reportedly assaulting an Ajax-Pickering player. That brawl comes not too long after an ugly on-and-off ice incident in December involving the Ajax Axemen and Thornhill Thunderbirds of the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League. In that case, things turned bad following a vicious hit from behind that injured an Axemen forward. That led to fighting in the stands, and coffee and a metal bar allegedly being thrown at the offending player. Durham Regional Police laid charges against the Axemen owner’s wife and daughter, with the case still before the courts. The Ontario Lacrosse Association came down heavily on both the Rock and Storm, suspending four players from Ajax-Pickering and three from St. Clair. The suspensions are hefty too, considering they represent about one-third of the regular season. In addition, both teams were fined and under league rules, because two periods weren’t completed, the game has to be replayed. That’s a big blow to the below-500 Rock, leading 10-4 at the time of the brawl, as it tries to secure a favourable play- off position. Good for the OLA for calling it a “black eye” and deliver- ing a message that brawling won’t be tolerated. Too many people are at risk when you consider both brawls involving local teams saw fans jump into the fray, running the very real possibility that someone could be seriously hurt. When the legal case is resolved in terms of the Axemen, the OPJHL said it will decide on any sanctions against the team. It must also deliver an undeniably strong message. Left unchecked, the chances continue to increase of such incidents escalating and causing serious, and potentially tragic, damage. What is MP’s real concern?

Three months ago I wrote the gov- ernment was in a tough spot, as work- to-rules began springing up across the province and everybody was acknowl- edging that the government had to do something. What they did was give the teachers everything they wanted, managing as well to spin it as accomplishing its goals for education — pretty clever, really. Both the elementary and secondary panels at Catholic and public boards are getting more teachers, which the government says will restore specialist teachers in the elementary panel and help its student success program. More educators mean public elementary teachers will receive the 200 minutes of preparation time per week per teacher they made a corner- stone of this year’s bargaining sessions, while secondary teachers are moving back to a six-of-eight class workload, down from 6.67. Monetarily, everyone is in line for a 10.6 per cent pay increase over four years, while Catholic teachers here are receiving an extra two per cent on top of that as their salaries catch up with public teacher wages. The government had talks with school board associations and teacher unions, resulting in provincial frameworks that were applied at the local level for bar- gaining. It’s never happened before, and some local union presidents were a bit miffed at the notion that their salary raise ceiling, for example, was set outside of the local bargaining unit. “The new approach falls a little bit short of provincial bargaining; it’s a sig- nificant step in that direction,” noted Michael Pautler, the Durham Catholic District School Board’s human resources superintendent. The question is, has this approach to teacher contracts set a precedent for all time? If the Liberals form the next government, the framework method will almost certainly be used again. A Conservative government might also be game, given that the previous one toyed with the idea of provincial bargaining. Certainly, the public teacher unions bargained provincially this time around. Co-ordinated efforts by the provincial of- fices dictated what happened at the local level in terms of labour action, the 200 minutes of preparation time campaign and more. The provincial unions were in charge of bargaining in every district in Ontario, given the job by their locals. In that sense, rumblings about the frame- work agreed to by their superiors was a bit confusing. Kind of like my union bargaining a contract for me and my co- workers, and then us turning around and saying we’re going to try and go beyond it in our division. It doesn’t follow. Regardless, if the unions take a co- ordinated approach to bargaining, why shouldn’t the Province? At least the major issues such as salary could be worked out at that level.

Seven are open now, offering local produce, baked goods, honey, flowers and more, said Marlene Werry, the Re- gion’s rural economic development of- ficer. “It’s an opportunity for our farmers to sell direct to the public,” she said. “The produce the public is buying is fresh that day.” The goods are usually picked early that morning or the night before, Ms. Werry added. Not only are the markets good for food, but it’s a great way for residents to learn about Durham’s agriculture indus- try, including where the farmers are from and how their goods are produced. “It’s more than just going to buy your produce,” Ms. Werry said.

From left, Durham Chairman Roger Anderson turned the cheque over to UOIT president Gary Polonsky and Donna Raetsen-Kemp of Junior Achievement, with help from tournament chairman Bruce Smith. DURHAM — More than 250 golfers helped raise a whopping $359,000 at the Durham Region Chairman’s Charity Classic. The event, held last week, aids Ju- nior Achievement and Durham Col- lege/University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT). Over the past nine years, the event has raise almost $2 million. To recognize Regional Chair- man Roger Anderson’s contribution through the event, a scholarship was announced in his name. A returning student to a Durham College diploma program will receive the scholarship, starting the fall of 2005. Chairman’s tourney raises $359,000 OPG says it’s always open to discussions with community partners By Jennifer Stone Staff Writer DURHAM — Communities like Claring- ton and Pickering that may play host to nuclear waste for the next 30 to 60 years may need to be compensated by the waste producers for keeping it in the area, says Clarington’s mayor. The subject was the topic of discussion for the Canadian Association of Nuclear Host Communities, of which Clarington Mayor John Mutton is chairman, during the recent Federation of Canadian Munici- palities meeting in St. John’s, Newfound- land. The group heard a presentation from the Nuclear Waste Management Organization, based on the group’s draft recommenda- tion on the long-term storage of high level radioactive waste. The NWMO has been charged by the federal government with coming up with a way to dispose of the waste, The NWMO has recommended a phased approach for storage, with used fuel bun- dles remaining on-site at facilities like Pickering and Darlington Nuclear Gener- ating Stations for about 30 years. At that point, a decision would be made as to whether to leave the waste where it is, or move it to an interim facility at the eventual site of a deep geological reposi- tory, likely in the Canadian Shield. Around year 60, it would be placed in the deep, underground mausoleum. Since communities like Clarington and Pickering will be holding on to the waste at least over the shorter term, there may be a need for compensation to the municipali- ties, said Mayor Mutton. “Whatever model is adopted, we’re going to hold on to our waste before they go to the intermediate option,” said the mayor. “We’ve never had recognition for holding on to the waste in terms of com- pensation.” The time to talk about compensation is now, he added. “If they’re coming up with a timetable, let’s set the dialogue up about compen- sation,” said Mayor Mutton. The matter was sent back to Picker- ing, Clarington and Kincardine staff to provide comments to the NWMO by the end of June. Ontario Power G eneration, which runs the nuclear sta- tions in Clarington and Pickering, will listen to concerns, said spokeswoman Jacquie McInnes. “If he feels the need to start a dialogue, we’re always open to listening to our com- munity partners,” said the spokeswoman. Under the “polluter pays” principle of the Nuclear Fuel Waste Act, OPG and other waste producers would be required to pick up the long-term disposal tab. That doesn’t necessarily mean the company would have to pay for interim storage, said Ms. McInnes. While OPG had no preconceived no- tions in terms of what the NWMO would suggest to the federal government in terms of how to store the spent fuel, the com- pany was prepared to store the fuel for the short term. “Our interim (onsite) storage facilities are built to last 50 years, and the expecta- tion is that they could last much longer,” said Ms. McInnes. “It’s fair to say, in terms of interim storage, the facilities were de- veloped to last at least 50 years.” The NWMO will hold public informa- tion open houses in Clarington later this month to collect public input on the draft report. The open houses will be held at the Courtice Community Complex, 2950 Cour- tice Rd., on Thursday, June 23 from 6:30 to 9 p.m., and Friday, June 24, from 9 to 11:30 a.m., and 12:30 to 4 p.m. A/P PAGE 10 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 17, 2005 durhamregion.com LIFE DOESN’T ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL PAYDAY!

Or at least they pretended to. The Orono arena Tuesday was trans- formed into a mock emergency worker centre, where police, fire, ambulance, tran- sit, hydro, gas and Ontario Power Genera- tion (OPG) employees went through the motions of a full-scale nuclear accident. “O ne of the jobs is to save lives, but they also have to be worried about themselves,” said Ivan Ciuciura, director of emergency management for the Region. In the event of a leak at the Darlington plant, workers would be corralled at the Orono arena to be sent out on duties, then return and be checked for contamination, or radioactive dust. Employees in blue ambulance and po- lice uniforms, white and blue OPG shirts and vests and fluorescent orange and yel- low coveralls snaked through the upstairs of the arena, moving throughout dispatch lines and being outfitted with radiation monitors. After being sent out to perform a task (in this case, driving around the block), work- ers in vehicles such as police cruisers, fire trucks and GO Transit buses returned to the arena to be scanned for contamination using a handheld meter. If the car caused the scanner to beep incessantly and loudly, it was sent though an outdoor water bath. If workers had dust on them, they had to be repeatedly scanned to identify where the dust was. Then it was off to the shower or vacuum centre to have their clothes and bodies decontaminated. The Region’s emergency management office holds mock emergencies at centres across Durham each year as part of its preparedness plan and mandates from the Province. “O PG would say a leak could never hap- pen. But the Province says, ‘Never say never,’” Mr. Ciuciura said. “But that being said, you still have to be prepared.” Mock emergency tests nuclear contamination plans at plant Ivan Ciuciura durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 17, 2005 PAGE 11 A/P GREENWOOD HAMLET SERVICING & WESTNEY ROAD RE-ALIGNMENT STUDY Integrated Approach – Planning Act and Class Environmental Assessment Public Open House #1 JUNE 21, 2005 The hamlet of Greenwood has been established as a priority area for rural growth. 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 Yo u 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?

Last Saturday, Ajax marked its 50th anniversary and got the 35th Ajax Home Week rolling with a parade that included veterans, marching bands, bagpipes, com- munity groups, a few animals, and, of course, lots of people watching and celebrating with family and friends. The many Canadian veterans participating in the parade were joined by others from abroad, coming from England, Austra- lia and New Zealand to be hon- oured by the town. The visitors from overseas pri- marily consisted of veterans of the Battle of the River Plate from the Second World War, members of the British Navy aboard the HMS Exeter, HMS Achilles, and HMS Ajax — from whence the town derived its name 50 years ago. The Battle of the River Plate, which started on Dec. 13, 1939 near the estuary of the River Plate off the coast of Uruguay in South America, was the first major navy battle of the Second World War. The battle ended with moder- ate damage to the three Royal Navy cruisers, while the German heavy cruiser involved, the Admi- ral Graf Spee, was later scuttled in the city of Montevideo’s port after sustaining heavy damage and once the captain realized de- feat was inevitable. Many streets in Ajax have been named after veterans of this bat- tle, such as Harwood Avenue for Commodore Henry Harwood, commander of the force. Ceremonies later in the day honoured the visiting veterans with new streets being named after them. When they passed by in a truck during the parade, they were greeted by a crowd standing to their feet to cheer. Robert Batt and Eddie Tel- fourd of New Zealand were both only 17 when they were aboard the Achilles at the battle. They enlisted in the navy at 15, hoping to escape the difficulties of the Great Depression. “If you got in you were very lucky,” said Mr. Batt. “We didn’t expect war,” added Mr. Telfourd. After the first stage of the bat- tle, they saw the damage to the ships and learned that the other ships had taken casualties. “That’s when it sunk in,” re- called Mr. Telfourd. Parade organizer Ken Brown was grateful for the presence of the veterans, adding that for a lot of the younger visitors, “The little horse and zebra and elephant made the parade.” Home Week continues right up to Sunday, June 19.

Fundraising journey will take Christian duo across Canada By Jeff Hayward Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — Two local residents are going the distance for their church — 7,250 kilometres, to be exact. George Vanderkuur, principal of Dur- ham Second Academy and former chief scientist at the Ontario Science Centre, along with Peter Faber, 71, former vice- president of operations in the utility and engineering industry, are tuning up their bicycles for an epic ride across the coun- try. The tour is to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Christian Reformed Church in Canada and to raise money for local church projects. The Pickering men are in good com- pany for their trek across the provinces. “There are 97 (people) riding coast to coast,” said Mr. Vanderkuur, a 62-year- old. “Another 66 are riding as a three- person relay team. Each of us represents a different Christian Reformed Church.” They expect the journey to be gruel- ing, especially in some sections of the ride. “The Rockies sound challenging (to pass),” said Mr. Vanderkuur. “However, northern Ontario has almost twice as many ups and downs, and the hills are steeper.” He noted that the accommodations during the trip will be minimal, for the most part. The group will be subjected to heat, rain, and any other elements that can be thrown at them. “Sleeping in a tent for 70 days and get- ting up each morning to ride an average of 120 kilometres (per day) will be quite a challenge,” said Mr. Vanderkuur. Each church in Canada can only spon- sor one rider. The pair is representing Crossroads Community Church in Ajax, as well as Grace Christian Reformed Church in Scarborough. Mr. Vanderkuur said this project is part of the church’s outreach program. “The bike ride specifically endorses the overcoming poverty program,” he explained. He noted that some other church outreach programs include abuse prevention, disability concerns, and literacy. Both riders have set their goals high for raising funds, looking to gather $10,000 each. Despite the high number, they are confident they will meet the challenge. “Both of us are more than 75 per cent to (achieving) our goal,” said Vanderkuur. The adventure starts in Vancouver, B.C., on June 25. If all goes as planned, the riders will be finishing in Halifax, N.S., in early September. This kind of undertaking is not some- thing you can prepare for overnight, Mr. Va nderkuur concluded. “Most riders (on this tour) train on their own, trying to accumulate at least 2,000 kilometres before the event. Losing extra pounds is one of the best perfor- mance enhancers,” he said. To find out more about this event, visit www.crcna.org/seatosea.

Ties for first out of 2,850 in elementary school rankings By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — A Scugog school placed first in the Fraser Insti- tute’s latest ranking of the prov- ince’s schools. Prince Albert Public School scored a 10 out of 10 in the an- nual Report Card on Ontario’s Elementary Schools, released Friday. The perfect score tied the school with a number of others at the top of the 2,850-school list. The FI uses nine performance indicators, all based on students’ performance on the Grade 3 and 6 Education Quality and Ac- countability Office tests written each year, to assign a score. According to the report card, just seven per cent of the EQAO tests Prince Albert students wrote in 2004 were below the provincial standard of a Level 3, or B grade. Students averaged 3 or better in five of the six of the reading, writ- ing and math components of the two assessments. The sixth mark was a 2.9 average in Grade 6 writ- durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 17, 2005 PAGE 15 A/P 8:30am Highland Dancing 9am Heavy Athletic Events 11am Pipes & Drums Parade 12:30pm Welcoming Ceremonies Massed Bands • Refreshments 11-4pm Children’s Game Area Medieval Knights Shuttle Bus service to and from the off-site parking and the Waterfront Festival Saturday July 2, 2005 Join us for Our Canada Day Ceilidh FRIDAY JULY 1, 2005 • 5-10pm 888-262-6874 • www.cobourghighlandgames.ca CobourgCobourg Highland GameHighland Games Festis Festivalval Nessie’s Variety 16 King St. E., Cobourg 905-372-7158 The Cat & The Fiddle 38 Covert St., Cobourg 905-377-9029 The British Shoppe and Tea Room 22 King St. E., Millbrook 705-932-3225 Canadian Business Computers Ltd. 22 King St. W., Cobourg 905-372-7956 Thanks to the following Sponsors: ENTER TO WINENTER TO WIN apair of tickets to the U.K.a pair of tickets to the U.K. courtesy of Zoom Airlinescourtesy of Zoom Airlines 1-888-COBOURG • www.waterfrontfestival.ca 15th Annual 3 Fabulous Days Of Fun!

Students did especially well in math, averaging a 3.4 in Grade 3 and a sparkling 3.8 in Grade 6. “We think it’s pretty incred- ible,” says principal Sue Lunn. “Of course, the staff here always work as a team and try to en- hance student success.” When the EQAO results arrive at the school, she says staff to- gether analyzes them, perform- ing a gap analysis. If scores are lower in writing, for example, a plan to address it is worked out and followed. Each month a dif- ferent area, narrative, for exam- ple, is worked on. As for the excellent math re- sults, Ms. Lunn says students use math journals that require them Biggest drops Biggest gains to work out an answer step-by- step, showing how they solve a problem. In doing so, she says it also helps students with literacy. Some schools emphasize a lot of EQAO practice sessions before the assessments, but at Prince Albert it’s kept to a minimum. “We do some practice sessions, but basically we follow the cur- riculum...,” says Ms. Lunn. “The teachers are really good because they hit all areas of the curricu- lum.” Other Durham schools near the top of the rankings include E. A. Fairman Public School in Whitby (9.4), Goodwood Pub- lic School in Uxbridge (8.7), St. Monica Catholic School in Pick- ering (8.1) and R.H. Cornish P.S. in Scugog (8.1). Local schools near the bottom of the list include a number of Oshawa schools, such as Ger- trude Colpus Public School (0.4), Har mony Public School (1.4), Bobby Orr Public School (1.6), Queen Elizabeth Public School (1.7) and Ritson Public School (1.8). The Fraser Institute is an in- dependent Canadian economic, social research and educational organization. It began publish- ing its Report Card on Ontario Elementary Schools in 2003.

DURHAM — A 16-year-old driver was hospitalized with life-threatening inju- ries and three other youths were hurt when a car slammed into a pole early Saturday in Ajax. Durham Regional Police traffic inves- tigators closed down Pickering Beach Road for several hours following the crash, which occurred around 2:20 a.m. near the intersection with Beachview Street. Police said the car, being driven north by a 16-year-old, went out of control and struck a concrete light standard. The force of the impact caused the light stan- dard to topple onto the car, police said. The driver, who was seriously injured, was trapped in the car for several min- utes until freed by emergency workers. He was airlifted to the Hospital for Sick Children with life-threatening injuries. Three other youths in the car were taken to hospital with minor injuries, police said. Weather and road condi- tions were not contributing factors in the crash, police said.

Ken Babcock, athletic director of both the college and University of Ontario Institute of Technology, and Chris Bovie, managing editor of Oshawa, Whitby, and Clarington This Week, will be recognized at a ceremony today (June 17). The award is given out annually to honour Durham College gradu- ates who have gone on to notewor- thy success in their careers. Com- munity involvement, as well as contributions back to the college, are also major factors in consider- ing candidates. Mr. Babcock, who graduated from the college’s sports administration program in 1985, was named as- sistant director of athletics in 1990 and then promoted to his current post in 1996. He is happy to receive the distinction and was particularly honoured that one of his co-work- ers put his name in for the award. “That’s a big deal, when one of my staff nominated me,” he said, adding that he finds it rewarding enough to work with students. He doesn’t expect to be leaving any time soon, citing “the num- ber of projects” on the go at the school and the amount of change coming as a result of the university’s presence. He has also devel- oped a pro- gram that encourages elementary students to stay in school, avoid drugs and develop life skills through athletics. Mr. Bovie graduated from the col- lege’s journalism program in 1988. Already an award-winning jour- nalist when he joined Metroland in 1993, he has since turned the Oshawa, Whitby, and Clarington papers into multi award- winning publications. “I appreci- ate everything the college did to help me further my career,” said Mr. Bovie. “I’ve enjoyed staying in this community and working in this community and helping it in any way I can.” He is actively involved in the community, mentoring youth at the Durham Family Court Clinic. He has been a key organizer of the Durham Regional Spelling Bee, and a co-ordinator of a lecture series at UOIT that promotes discussion of social issues. Past award-recipients have in- cluded Andrew Popko, a public relations student, who now advis- es Canada’s Privy Council on ab- original affairs, and Janet Roth, a nursing student who has extensive experience in community service groups and has been a part of med- ical missions to Africa.

Anne Cruess, a member of the SCC regional steering committee, approached Dur- ham District School Board trustees with the idea at the June 6 standing committee meeting. The regional com- mittee assists school coun- cils by providing resources, professional development and support. Ms. Cruess suggested the theme for the year be, Parents Supporting School Success. “The committee would like to increase the profile of SCCs throughout the Durham District School Board,” she told trustees. She said speeches and public meetings could be held focusing on parents’ contri- butions to their schools, and on what SCCs do in terms of their role and how to join one. As well, Ms. Cruess recommended a presence for the regional SCC on the board’s Web site. Whitby Trustee Elizabeth Roy supported the idea, and trustees unanimously voted in favour of her motion. “You just have no con- cept of how much the SCCs work in our schools,” said Ajax Wards 1 and 2 Trustee Marilyn Crawford. She said while Durham is increasingly multicultural, “one of the things we strug- gle with is that we don’t re- ally have that representation on SCC groups.” Tr ustee wants busing meeting UXBRIDGE — Ux- bridge-Brock trustee Gor- don Baxter presented two notices of motion at the June 6 standing committee meeting, calling for students in two Uxbridge neighbour- hoods to be bused. Students attending Uxbridge Public School from the Barton Farms and Wooden Sticks subdivi- sions must walk along busy Hwy. 47, which parent Erin Jarvis says is unsafe. She says given the heavy traf- f ic, including large gravel trucks, and the fact that the sidewalk, right beside the road, is often blocked with garbage and recycling bins, students are in danger when they walk to school. But, several trustees argued that the safety con- cerns should be taken else- where and not to the Dur- ham District School Board. “You have regional and town and police issues,” said meeting chairwoman Susan Shetler, suggesting Ms. Jar- vis address her concerns there. In her report to trust- ees, Ms. Jarvis says the board is shifting the focus to the township, when it was the board that assigned the walking routes. Trustee Baxter is rec- ommending that the board transportation department meet with community mem- bers to discuss their con- cerns, that himself, the local superintendent and com- munity representatives meet with township staff, and that what he termed a board promise to provide busing to the parents be investigated.

What more could a kid ask for? Not much at the Ajax Childcare Centre. Here, it’s a playful haven, where 54 kids ranging from 18 months to nine years old have endless toys, games and books at their wee fingertips. On this Thursday morning, a circle of kindergarteners listen to a book called ‘I Stink.’ One catches a visitor’s eye and makes farting noises with his hands. But with the fun, laughter and colour comes a stark reality; last year there were an estimated 8,673 licensed child-care spots in Durham Region and 99,564 kids under 12 according to the 2001 census. That means a perpetual wait- ing list and a gigantic gap in making child care accessible to every family who wants it, said Roxanne Lambert, acting direc- tor of children’s services for the Region. “We have people calling the infant centres before their baby is even born,” said Denise Gil- bert, executive director of the 19 non-profit Schoolhouse Playcare Centres in Durham. There are 163 licensed home, non-profit and commercial child-care centres in Durham, Ms. Lambert said. While each centre has its own waiting list, the Region’s first- come, first-served subsidy pro- gram list currently has 1,066 chil- dren on it. To get subsidies, parents go through a needs assessment, looking at income versus ex- penses. So, technically, a fam- ily bringing home $90,000 could qualify for subsidies — but there are ceilings on things such as rent, heat, hydro and transporta- tion, Ms. Lambert said. Parents are required to pay at least $2.50 a day, with the Region paying the balance of the cost of care. At the Ajax Centre, pre-school (2.5 to five years) costs $33 a day. The schoolhouse charges $35. “There is a desire to have a consistent funding base for child care,” Ms. Gilbert said. “It should be like a service available to all families, not just those who can afford it.” That’s the key to a national day- care system: It must be univer- sally accessible, publicly funded, high quality, regulated and non- profit, says the Ontario Coalition for Better Childcare, which re- cently spoke with more than 100 workers and parents in Durham. “We have a patchwork of grants, subsidies, but no actual system,” executive director Kira Heineck said, calling child care in Canada “fragmented” and “neglected.” Many look to Quebec’s system, where child care is available to all for $7 a day. Ontario last year increased funding to add 233 new spaces in Durham. And the federal government has unveiled a plan that calls for $5 billion over five years, where provinces will receive money on a per-cap- ita basis. It’s hoped that will open up more spots and subsidies. But, with no commitments past 2010, child-care advocates and provincial politicians worry about setting up a system with no funding future. Ms. Gilbert called it the “big- gest carrot we’ve seen in many, many years.” “It’s hugely frustrating,” she said. “The funding provided to the child-care industry as a whole has decreased substantially over time.” Staff wage subsidies alone were cancelled by the 1995 Har- ris government, and Ms. Gilbert has had to pay around $250,000 each year to keep her staff. “Staff are so sadly underpaid and under-recognized,” she said. Some students are getting Early Childhood Education degrees, but then going to teacher’s col- lege instead of working. “You can’t run a competent centre if you can’t get the staff, and you can’t get the staff without the money. “It’s a Catch-22.” Despite the lack of public at- tention child care gets compared to hot-button issues such as roads and development, politi- cians have reason to invest in children: Study after study has shown that the first six years of our future leaders’ lives are the most important, and that there are huge social benefits in send- ing them to play with one an- other. There are also economic ben- efits to families, with 70 per cent of the women in the workforce having young kids. “There are many families who look at those fees and can’t af- ford them,” Ms. Gilbert said. “But they have to find child care be- cause they have to work.” That can drive parents into un- regulated home day cares. Legal- ly, the caregiver is only allowed to look after five children, but there are no education, quality or safety requirements. That’s not to say in-home child care isn’t good and safe. But it means the home does not have to meet strict provincial and local health and safety standards and cannot receive funding, Ms. Lambert added. For changes to be made to the system, there needs to be a buy- in, Ms. Gilbert said.

She’s part of the en- semble in ‘Guys and Dolls’, danc- ing in seven numbers, and in ‘The Tempest’, where she is part of the ensemble and the dance captain. Growing up a dancer, perfect- ing her skills with the Denise Lester Dance Academy in Pick- ering, she is happy to be a part of the professional productions at Stratford. In ‘Guys and Dolls’, she enjoys wearing the period costumes from the 1800s. “They’re specific and detailed,” she explains. “Visually, it’s really something. That’s the beautiful thing about Stratford Festival, it’s quite amazing.” Guys and Dolls is a unique show to her because it has such an emphasis on the men in the show, but has a balance between the two genders throughout. “In this particular musical, the guys play a heavier role,” she says. “(But) sometimes it’s all about the ladies and sometimes it’s all about the guys.” This is her second season at Stratford and second time in ‘Guys and Dolls’. Last year she also performed in ‘Anything Goes’. That initial season among the professional theatre scene there was hard to adjust to, she says. “The first year it was tricky get- ting my head around it,” she says. “It was all at different time slots, but you had to get used to that type of schedule, it’s really de- manding.” But the 35-year-old has come to the realization that she can’t perform at this level forever. “I am nearing the end of my dance career, I hate to say,” she says. So she’s looking at Stratford in a different light, looking behind the on-stage productions to the support that makes it all pos- sible. As dance captain in ‘The Te mpest’ she is in charge of the integrity of the show’s dance scenes. It’s this aspect of her ca- reer that she believes holds her future at Stratford. “It’s a great place because they keep you training, keep you on your game,” she says. “There’s a lot of options.” Willems may become a trainer herself and has taught dance for a number of years. Now living in Kitchener, Wil- lems grew up in Pickering and Whitby. She also attended Arch- bishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School. Finding a home in spectacular Stratford FOR FULL MOVIE LISTINGS durhamregion.com Cindy Willems, a former Ajax and Whitby resident, is now a regular at the Stratford Festival. This year she’s dancing in the ensemble of ‘Hello Dolly’, as seen here, and also dances in ‘The Tempest’.

Groen/ News Advertiser photo Carrying a tune AJAX — Ajax High School art and music departments held its Art Extravaganza recently, with the Senior Concert Band and flutist Kristy Dougan among the performers entertaining visitors as they viewed student art presentations. DURHAM — Entertain- ment with a Celtic flair is in Port Perry on June 25. That’s Entertainment is at To wn Hall 1873, featur- ing Claidhmor, Stewart Bennett, Herb Vine, Fred Cotie and Ian Forbes, per- forming their favourite Celtic songs. Also on stage will be the Uxbridge Pipe Band and the Wee Dancers from the Port Perry Dance Academy. Bennett and Isobel Camp- kin will team up for a duet and the Scottish Country Dancers and Highland Dancers will set toes a-tap- ping on and off stage. Tickets are $20 and avail- able at Henshall’s Cloth- iers, Queen Street, 905-985- 1965. Claidhmor and friends entertain German-Canadian association celebrates 50th anniversary DURHAM — Durham Region’s annual multicultural party begins this weekend as Fiesta Week kicks off with a parade and concert. Ta king part in the fun and the week- long celebration of multiculturalism is Club Loreley, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and which has been part of Fiesta Week since its start in 1973. Fiesta Week kicks off with a parade June 19, with 14 pavilions sharing their homelands June 20 to 25. The club was formed on May 15, 1955 with Arthur Schatz as its first president, said current president Ernst Stader. German-Canadians living in Durham Region had decided it was time to form a club, first named the German-Canadian Club and later renamed Club Loreley. The idea was to provide a place for peo- ple of German descent to get together, enjoy social occasions and pass on Ger- man culture and language. Over the years, children have learned German at the language school and Ger- man dance, men and women have sung in choirs and enjoyed regular dances and everyone has enjoyed special festivi- ties such as Carneval, Oktoberfest, Som- merfest and Christmas parties. For the first few years, Club Loreley held its dances in a Ukrainian hall, Stad- er said. Then the club decided it was time for a place of its own. In 1957, the decision was made to buy land on Dean Av enue. In 1960 and 1961, the clubhouse was built, with members providing as much voluntary labour as they could. The first dance was held there Nov. 18, 1961. An addition was built in 1965. To day, the club has about 250 mem- bers and continues its many activities. One of the most visible groups in Club Loreley is the Youth Dancers, made up of about 42 girls and young women who provide the nightly entertainment at the pavilion during Fiesta Week. The girls, ages four to 20s, perform traditional Ger- man and modern dances throughout the year, practising from September to June, said director Holly Henninger. There are four groups: the Kindertots, ages 4 to 7, the Kinders, ages 8 to 10, Ju- niors, ages 11 to 14, and Seniors, 14 and up. “We perform throughout Durham Region throughout the year,” she said, adding the girls compete in dance com- petitions too. They also hold dance ex- changes with groups from other ethnic associations in Durham. The dancers rehearse every Monday and new members are always welcome and they don’t have to be of German descent. Contact Henninger at 905-725- 1268. Traditional polkas are taught, such as is the funkengarde, a dance that origi- nally poked fun at the military, she said. There are also fun dances, such as jazz and tap. “They’re a very energetic group,” she said. Yo u can catch the entertainment at Club Loreley (renamed the Schnitzel- haus for Fiesta) Monday through Satur- day at 6:30, 8 and 9:30 p.m. There’s also good German beer and wine available. And you’ll probably see Miss Loreley, Elizabeth Kiessling, and Mini Miss Lo- reley, Caitlyn Merchison, both Youth Dancers. “This is the highlight,” Stader said of Fiesta Week.

All systems go toward defending world crown in Finland in August PICKERING — Pickering Olympian Perdita Felicien’s out- door season continues to gain strength as she heads toward the world championships in Finland in early August. Two weeks after winning and setting a then world-lead- ing mark this year of 12.58 sec- onds in the women’s 100-metre hurdles at the Prefontaine Clas- sic in Eugene, Oregon, Felicien headed overseas for the Splitzen Leightathletik meet in Luzern, Switzerland. There, she again posted a winning effort in a time of 12.83 seconds. Felicien held off a challenge by Jamaica’s Bri- gitte Foster, who tied for second place with a Polish runner in a time of 12.89 seconds. Felicien’s fastest time was re- cently bettered by American Mi- chelle Perry, who defeated Ath- ens gold medallist Joanne Hayes at the Reebok Grand Prix meet in New York City. Perry won the race in a time of 12.45. Felicien is due to run in sev- eral other European meets, in- cluding one in Rome where she’s tentatively scheduled to run. The highlight of the season, however, is to run at worlds in Helsinki. “First and foremost this sea- son is defending my title,” said Felicien, who’s the defending champion after winning the 100m hurdles crown at the 2003 IAAF world championships in Paris. Spartans’ of fence runs dry in Cup semifinal Dunbarton bows out after agonizing 1-0 loss to Lorne Park PICKERING — The Dunbarton High School Spartans ended its season two runs shy of playing for the Holy Grail of Ontario high school baseball. Playing in the Prentice Cup semifinal contest at Toronto’s Rogers Centre on Thursday morn- ing, the Spartans were edged 1-0 by another group of Spartans, the Lorne Park Secondary School squad from Mississauga. The loss ended a truly remark- able season for Dunbarton’s var- sity boys’ baseball team, which ended with a solid record of 18- 4. To get to the semifinal game, the Durham Region champion Spartans broke out in a major way in the quarter-final Wednes- day morning against Hamilton’s St. Mary’s Catholic Secondary School Crusaders at the Rogers Centre. The Spartans scored an im- pressive 8-2 victory over St. Mary’s. Cedric Schell earned the win on the mound. Dunbarton led 4-0 after the first inning, aided by a two-run home run by Nick Spencer. The Spartans would bump their cush- ion by adding four more runs in the fourth inning.

A spate of injuries and suspen- sions notwithstanding, the Rock (3-5-1 for seven points, third in East Division) hope to put together a winning record in their last five Ontario Lacrosse Association senior ‘B’ games, enabling them to enter the post-season from a position of strength, says head coach Paul St. John. “We’d like to run the table in the last five games and finish above .500,” he says. But, first, St. John concedes, the team needs to get back its suspend- ed players, as well as injured rookies Aaron Binstock and Todd Hollins- head, who are both out on a day-to- day basis. Goaltender Jay Preece received three games and D.J. Cox, Shawn Summerfield and Brandon Laforme five apiece for their roles in a brawl in a game against the St. Clair Storm in Sarnia on May 28. Preece is ex- pected to be back in his starter’s role with the Rock Saturday when they host the Brooklin Merchants at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7 p.m. Although backup Dave Power has played well, St. John notes the team will receive a lift with Preece back in the lineup. “Dave Power has stepped in and played well, but there’s a certain amount of extra confidence you have when your number-one guy is in there,” says St. John. The Rock’s second game of the weekend is the make-up date against the St. Clair Storm in Sarnia on Sun- day. The Rock were leading the May 28 game 10-4 nearing the midway point in the second period when the brawl broke out. The game was later suspended after police were called to the arena. League rules state a game won’t go in the books unless two periods have been played. A short-staffed Rock team went into battle last Saturday against one of the premier teams in the league, Owen Sound. The Rock dropped a heartbreaking 14-12 overtime deci- sion to the Woodsmen (6-2-1 for 13 points, second in West Division), after rallying with two goals in the last minute, including the equalizer by Brad Cann with six seconds to go. Although disappointed with the loss, St. John says the setback may be the turning point in the Rock’s season. He’s also certain that with a full complement of players, the result would have been different. “We never quit. It was a huge character builder for us. It could be the game that changes our season,” he says. “If we had had a full lineup, we wouldn’t have come out on the wrong end of the score.” St. John extended kudos to his vet- eran players who stepped their play up to another level, especially team captain Jim Veltman, Jason Crosbie, Mark Craig and Cann, who com- bined for nine goals. Crosbie led the way with a seven- point outing (two goals), followed by Veltman with six (two goals), Cann (two goals, three assists) and Craig (three goals, two assists). Other Rock scorers were Cody Laforme, Jaime Lumsden and Pat Vanhooser. St. John was pressed into action for a second game, playing defence in Saturday’s loss to the Owen Sound Woodsmen. Although he wasn’t in on any goals, St. John took all of the team’s four penalty minutes in the contest, including a bench minor for too many men on the floor.

I’m starting to get the feel for how these 400- and 500- mile races progress. To get a win like this at a time when we really need it in the points, it means the world to me. It’s an awesome win”. Osborne agreed. “Winning the second race, everybody says that, a lot of times, that’s the hardest one,” he said. “Some people will say you win the first one, and that’s beginner’s luck or something like that. You win the second one and get through the second one, then it’s no-holds-barred at that point. It’s time to win and keep winning.” Edwards, who is from Columbia, Mo., and was making only his 27 th Cup start, edged Jimmie Johnson in a side-byside finish at Atlanta on March 20. The second victory was less spectacular as Edwards seized the advantage over another young driver, Brian Vi ckers, in the closing stages at Pocono Raceway. “Maybe from your perspective, the Atlanta one was more heart-pounding, but for me as a driver, being able to run second chasing a guy for the win is way, way easier than being the guy in front, Edwards said. It takes a different level of confidence. It takes a different style of driving to go out there and start a race in the lead and hang on. I really enjoy picking people apart and following them and trying to beat them at the end. That’s something I find really fun. I really am learning to like being on the other side of it, but it takes a different style of racing. “So, for me, this one was way more heart-pounding. I think this is something I needed in my career. I needed to win a race like this.” Te chnically, Edwards isn’t a rookie, having run the final 13 races of 2004. But his victory at Pocono occurred on his first visit to the 2.5-mile track, which he never saw before Friday. “I consider myself a rookie at any racetrack that I haven’t gone to, and then overall, I feel like I’m just getting my legs underneath me at this level of the sport,” he said. “We’ve got enough experience now that we should be able to run well, but I still feel like a raw rookie at places like this. When we show up, these guys have a huge advantage. It’s hard to unload and be able to run with guys that have this much experience.” Contact Monte Dutton at hmdutton50@aol.com Ajax-Pickering Rock hope to get back on track with homestand durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 17, 2005 PAGE 33 A/P Lease and finance offers are from Honda Canada Finance Inc.,on approved credit.∆Based on a 2005 Pilot LX,model YF1815E (†CR-V LX,model RD7755E) (††Odyssey LX,model RL3825E).Lease for 48 months at $448.00 (†$288.00) (††$337.99) per month plus applicable taxes with 96,000 km allowance (12¢/km exceeding allowance). $5,780.00 (†$4,935.00) (††$6,721.00) down payment or equivalent trade acceptable to dealer ($0 down on approved credit from Honda Canada Finance Inc.).Initiation payment of $7,210.20 (†$6,054.45) (††$8,165.84) includes down payment,first monthly payment,registration,security deposit of $0,freight & P.D.E.and taxes.

Facing a strong Brams Unit- ed team that entered the final with 31 goals scored and none against, Pickering held Brams scoreless for three quarters of the game.

The Pickering under-nines re- corded preliminary-round victo- ries over York United (3-2), Bar- rie (8-1) and Dixie (2-0). Solid all tournament were: midfielder Ella Calder, on of- fence it was Cierra Kaefer, Crys- tina Kertsos, Gabrielle Banfield, Kathleen More, Kelsey Sullivan and Sarah Ladouceur, defen- sively it was Amanda Chetram, Siena Maxwell, Vena Kurup and Victoria Rumboldt, and superb goaltending came from Laura Dougall.
