But I don’t know how they can justify that.” The budget, approved at Mon- day’s board meeting, is up 5.9 per cent from last year’s $112.3 mil- lion, but is below the allowed in- crease set by the Region of 7 to 7.5 per cent, Mr. Moffatt said. The police are asking for 25 new officers and nine civilians, bring- ing staffing totals to 802 and 274, respectively. The requests are part of the department’s three-year staffing plan to meet crime pre- vention and emergency response targets. “It fits with the growth of the Re- gion,” Mr. Moffatt said of the staff- ing, adding a portion of the new officer’s salary ($30,000 or so) will be paid for as part of the Province’s promise to hire 1,000 new officers across Ontario. “It’s needed and Committee to examine existing Brock facility By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — A Brock Township landfill site is being looked at as a temporary solution to Durham’s potential waste crisis. During the Nov. 16 regional works committee meeting, coun- cillors moved a recommendation to allow staff to look into using, and possibly expanding, the Brock site as a contingency option for Dur- ham’s garbage, should Michigan close its border to Ontario waste. “We’re not saying we’re going to use it, we’re just getting our ducks lined up in case we have to,” said Cliff Curtis, Durham’s works com- missioner, in an interview. Currently, Durham relies on the Pinetree Acres landfill in Michigan for garbage disposal, but the Amer- ican state has introduced enabling bills that, if approved by the fed- eral government, would allow it to close its borders to Ontario garbage within 90 days. “There certainly aren’t enough active landfill sites in Ontario for more than six months,” Mr. Curtis said at the meeting. Right now, all of Durham’s 150,000 tonnes of waste, with the exception of Brock’s, goes to Michi- gan. If approved by Durham council, the works department recommen- dation would allow it to retain con- sultants and resources to immedi- ately begin a technical evaluation of the viability of using the Brock landfill site and possibly expand it as a contingency option. As part of the recommendation being ex- plored, financing of up to $200,000 would be used from the Solid Waste Management Reserve Fund. Currently, the Brock site only collects waste from that munici- pality and has a 5,000-tonne limit per year, said Mr. Curtis. Accord- ing to a works committee report, Brock’s capacity is estimated to be over 115,000 tonnes and could Installation Seminar Saturday, November 26 10 am - 12 noon (Limited seating - call today!)

Both Doug Lindeblom, Dur- ham’s director of economic de- velopment and tourism, and Karen Campbell, GTMA presi- dent and chief executive officer, stated their cases at Monday’s management forum meeting. The Region is looking to pull out of the GTMA because it doesn’t feel it has seen enough return on its $100,000 yearly contribution, while the GTMA contends investment in any GTA municipality benefits them all. The GTMA is an organization that works to find international investment opportunities for the five GTA municipalities (Halton, Peel, York, Durham and Toronto). Each contributes $100,000 a year to be a member and Durham thinks the funding system should be changed to one that uses a more proportional contribution. In the winter, the members de- cided they wanted to leave it as it was. As well, over the last six years the only direct investment that can be measured in Durham was a company that operated in Clarington for six months. Durham has come up with an alternative, the Durham In- ternational Marketing Program. Mr. Lindeblom says the GTMA’s program does not align with Durham’s priorities (advanced manufacturing-automotive, en- ergy and intermediary contacts), so there is a need to focus on a Durham brand, there is a need for results, and Durham’s market and economy have evolved. Ms. Campbell made her case following Mr. Lindeblom’s pre- sentation. She listed the benefits of being a part of the GTMA, as well as specific benefits Durham has received in the last six years. “The Region really has ben- efited from our ability to lever- age funding from our private and public partners,” she said. Ms. Campbell argued the GT- MA’s function is not to seal the deal and that attracting interna- tional investment takes time. She also responded directly to what Mr. Lindeblom had said. She agreed Durham should ag- gressively promote its own brand, but that it needs to co-brand as a member of GTMA. She argued the GTMA programs are closely aligned with key sectors for Dur- ham Region -- automotive and intermediary. “Two out of three isn’t bad,” she said. Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson wasn’t enthused with either option. “Why should you expect us to give you a vote of confidence any more than the GTMA?” he said to Mr. Lindeblom. “I guess I’m a skeptic to wonder why we’d put a dollar into Durham Region or the GTMA,” he said. Ward 1 City Councillor Kevin Ashe thought the Region should consider renewing its mem- bership, but added the GTMA should consider looking at an al- ternate fee system again. Marketing options don’t appeal to Pickering P PAGE 4 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, NOVEMBER 18, 2005 durhamregion.com www.sklargallery.com 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 905-723-4561 GRANDFATHER CLOCKS *Does not apply to best value items.

Before that could happen, site improve- ments and investigative work would have to occur. The works department recommendation also al- lows regional staff to con- tinue discussions with the Ministry of the Environment about other disposal options in Ontario. Right now, the Region is about one-and-a-half years into a five-year environ- mental assessment process to find a long-term waste solution for Durham, said Mr. Curtis. The Region will soon be submitting its envi- ronmental process proposal, which needs provincial ap- proval before Durham can start looking at different waste disposal options, such as new forms of incinera- tion. “We’re not looking at an- other landfill site in Dur- ham,” Mr. Curtis said in the interview.

Since 1998, when the Health Services Restructuring Commission set up the way hospital health care would be delivered in Durham Region, the citizens of Durham’s three western lakeshore communities have seen a deterioration in services and investment. For starters, that decision seven years ago saw Whitby’s Dr. Joseph O. Ruddy Hospital downgraded from a full-service critical care facility to an appendage of Lakeridge Health of- fering geriatric and complex continuing care. That left Whitby, a growing community that has busted the 110,000 mark in population, to rely on an overextended Lak- eridge Health Oshawa and to make full use of all the services of Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. The second piece of the puzzle was the amalgamation of Ajax-Pickering with Scarborough Centenary into the new (and presumably improved) Rouge Valley Health System. Fears that the Ajax-Pickering site would be subsumed into the much larger Scarborough Centenary site were denied by Rouge Valley administrators who assured Durham residents they would get first-class care at a top-rate facility. It’s j ust that many believe it hasn’t quite worked out that way. Fred Parrot, a Whitby resident who is a member of the local health watchdog group, Friends of the Ajax/Pickering Hospital, is afraid Ajax-Pickering could eventually be down- graded to a specialized health clinic in the same manner as Dr. J.O. Ruddy. Concerns have been raised about foot-dragging for the needed expansion at Ajax-Pickering, which is agonizingly stuck on waiting for provincial approval to move ahead. There is no guarantee that the Province will even approve a basic expansion. Ongoing growth in west Durham, which now contains nearly 300,000 residents, has already pushed the services of- fered at Ajax-Pickering beyond the max. Without expansion, the hospital will simply be inadequate to meet the needs of Durham residents, forcing the Province to take action to either close it as an acute-care hospital or repurpose it as a clinic. That cannot be allowed to happen. Pressure needs to be brought to bear on local MPPs in the three-municipality area. In addition, municipal representa- tives, under the leadership and direction of AMO president and Durham chairman Roger Anderson must emphasize how vital Ajax-Pickering is. The underfunding of Durham health services must be turned around if people here are to receive the fair shake they deserve from the Province.

I t was nice reminiscing and other- wise catching up with Lisa Flood, one of the best swimmers Pickering has ever produced. Ms. Flood was guest of honour at the Pickering Swim Club’s annual awards banquet recently. She was there to in- duct another member of the club’s ‘Wall of Fame’, 12-year-old Danielle Gomba, who’s qualified for nationals this year. Incidentally, Flood was the first induct- ee. And, she offered a few pearls of wisdom to the young up-and-comers, accumulated over a stellar career that started at age eight and continued into her 20s. Retired since her second and final Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996, the 34-year-old has since married and is living in Toronto. Swimming? She doesn’t do much of it now, with the odd exception -- and for recreation only. She’s been asked to swim as a masters competitor in the past, but she’s grace- fully declined. Her one remaining connection to Ca- nadian swimming is serving on Swim Canada’s selection committee where she, and other board members, consid- er the makeup of the Canadian teams to compete at various international meets. Swimming was her passion, but it didn’t come easily. Hard work, persis- tence, the loving support of her par- ents, and the constant belief of longtime coach Nick Baker all added up to two Olympic appearances (Barcelona in ’92 was the other), medal-winning perfor- mances at the 1994 Commonwealth Games and the 1995 Pan American Games and, at one time, a top-10 rank- ing in the world (ninth in 1995) in her specialty -- the 100-metre breaststroke. This was in addition to an outstanding collegiate career at Villanova University in Philadelphia, where she still holds at least one Big East Conference record. She remembers hitting a wall at age 16. With her times stagnating and a new head coach coming to the Pick- ering club, she recalls thinking about bolting to the Ajax Aquatic Club under then-head coach Paul Meronon, who also coached previous Olympians Anne Ottenbrite and Lori Melien. It was Meronen, ironically, who swayed her to stay at Pickering. He praised the work of incoming coach Baker. She elected to stay and the rest is history. Her best memory in swimming wasn’t, surprisingly, the Olympics or winning national and international medals. It was at a ceremony surround- ing the 1996 Olympics, where she was to receive her Olympic ring. Weeks earlier, she had arranged to have the ring re- sized for her father, keeping it a secret until surprising him at the ceremony. “He wears it every day,” says Flood.

I want to thank Carol Michea for writing this letter and thank you for printing it. This says what a lot of people are thinking and saying also. What I want to know is who gave these schools the right to get rid of these traditions, the famous one being, ‘no more Merry Christmas.’ Don’t you think the parents should have a vote on such issues? We have to be so open-hearted towards all nationalities and accepting, then why are they not accepting of our beliefs and traditions when they come to our country?

Along with providing amalgamation updates, the temporary site features a survey to collect customer input and help Durham Transit develop the new system. Results will be used to examine routes, frequency, determine service expansion and forecast vehicle usage. “Customer surveys play a very im- portant and valuable role in building and maintaining the transit system our customers want,” said general manager Te d Galinis. The survey is also available at all ticket sales locations and from bus op- erators throughout November. The launch of a permanent Durham Region Transit website will coincide with the launch of regional transit op- erations on Jan. 1.

On We dnesday, Durham council voted to pro- ceed with two Emergency Medical Services build- ings, one in southeast Oshawa and the other in Pickering. The Pickering station is to be in the Dixie and Kingston roads area and carry a price tag in the $2 million range. Pickering officials don’t like the lo- cation, preferring it be used for more downtown- like development. Durham EMS officials say the site is the best to ensure quick response times to the most people. Pickering Councillor Bill McLean tried on We dnesday to have the matter of the Pickering station sent back to the works committee, say- ing there are “two other sites beneficial to the Region.” However, his request was rejected and design work will now begin. The new Oshawa station is going to be built on the south side of Bloor Street East, between Ritson Road and Farewell Street. It’s to replace a rented facility at 500 Wentworth St. E. The new station will cost just over $2 million and should be finished by next summer. Oshawa Councillor Brian Nicholson praised the station coming to south Oshawa. “It’s a long time coming. I have no problem with the location. It’s something I get comments on all the time, espe- cially from seniors.” Thumbs up for two ambulance stations Pickering Islamic Centre aids hurricane victims More than $10,000 raised by members for relief PICKERING — Local Muslim families are helping South Asia earthquake victims. Members of the Pickering Islamic Centre raised more than $10,000 to help those impact- ed by an October earthquake that left thousands dead and many more homeless, particularly in Pakistan. The donation was sent to aid immedi- ate relief efforts through the Canadian Muslim Relief Council. In December 2004, the Pickering Islamic Cen- tre also raised $57,000 for tsunami relief, said trustee Kazim Qureshi. Those wishing to donate can contact the cen- tre at 2065 Brock Rd. in Pickering.

Just one more way to get your news newsdurhamregion.com FOLLOW ALL OUR BLOGGERS:Visit durhamregion.typepad.com Work e xpected to last to 2010; cost $61m By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer DURHAM — Construction work on a new Hwy. 401 inter- change at Stevenson Road is about to get underway. The $61-million project will take about five years to com- plete and includes the closing of the existing interchange at Park Road. Will MacKenzie, a spokesman for the provincial transportation ministry, said the work will take so long because “it’s a huge proj- ect. There are 10 construction stages.” The entire Hwy. 401 in the area of Stevenson Road is being re- built, Mr. MacKenzie noted, say- ing the highway will be shifted 30 metres north from its current location around Stevenson. “Five new bridges have to be built,” Mr. MacKenzie said. “All local road connections have to be rebuilt.” Having the new, modern ramps could benefit General Motors’ plants in south Oshawa. “It’s tough to say at this point until it’s done and we see the traffic patterns,” said GM spokes- man Stew Low. Employees generally use the Park Road interchange, while trucks use the Thickson Road ramps, he said. The automaker has about 1,100 trucks coming and going each day. “We’re not experts in traffic movements. The Province is and they’ve determined that Steven- son Road is the best to alleviate congestion,” he stated. “It’s hard for us to say the im- pact. We hope it’s positive.” The new ramp will help in get- ting people to downtown Osha- wa and to the Oshawa Centre, he added. It may take some of the traffic off the Thickson ramps, which is “e xtremely busy,” Mr. Low stated, adding the company doesn’t ex- pect any disruptions during con- struction. Mr. MacKenzie noted, “It’s our policy, especially in the Great- er Horseshoe Area, to maintain the same number of lanes even during construction. If there are three lanes, we’ll keep three lanes, especially during peak travel times.” Any lane closings would be overnight, when traffic volumes are lower, he added. The Stevenson Road work is part of a $67.2-million invest- ment by the MTO in Durham Re- gion. The other work includes re- paving 29 kilometres of highway, repairing the bridge spanning the 401 at Lakeridge Road, and adding new lighting and replac- ing concrete median barriers. The bridge work is “minor re- pairs to support the columns. We have to remove loose concrete and strengthen the overall bridge supports,” Mr. MacKenzie said. More than 130,000 vehicles travel the 401 in Durham each day, transporting about $600 mil- lion worth of goods. The Prov- ince expects the amount of traffic and the worth of goods to both increase by 30 per cent by 2012. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, NOVEMBER 18, 2005 PAGE 9 A/P CORRECTION NOTICE To our valued customers: We apologize for any inconvenience caused by an error in our flyer dated: November 10 - November 17.

As required by the Province, Durham school boards are preparing to phase in 20 minutes of physical activity per day for elementary students. Currently, most kids receive about 40 minutes of phys-ed class every other day. Schools have to incorporate the ad- ditional fitness component within the existing school day. “How could you argue with that? Being physically active is good,” said Chris Hurst, a superintendant for the Durham Catholic District School Board. Craig Burch, director of education for the Durham District School Board, said getting blood flowing through physical activity is good before any mental task. The board’s schools will start imple- menting the program in January and begin with two 10-minute blocks of ac- tivity per day. “The public needs to understand some of this will need to be done in the class- room,” said Mr. Burch. “The school day will not be extended... this 20 minutes is inside the 300-minute school day,” said Mr. Burch. Mr. Burch added the activity require- ment cannot be completed during re- cess or lunch breaks. Activity can include dances, sport, play and recreational activities, said Ministry of Education officials, and resources will be provided to teachers, principals and school boards to support the require- ment. A key in the success of making chil- dren more physically fit will be parental partnership, said both board officials. Parents’ help will be needed to make sure their children are moderately fit, said Mr. Burch. “I think parents have to work harder than they did 20 years ago to make their children fit,” Mr. Burch said. He added issues such as community safety can prevent parents from letting their kids play outside as much. Mr. Burch said it will be great if at the end of Grade 8, all students will know how to do a routine warm-up event for any sport. `ÕÀ >Ài}°VÊ 4(% .%73 !$6%24)3%2 Ê ./6%-"%2 0!'% !0 "AQFBDFGVMOFTT UPXPSLJOH BTBDFNFUFSZ HSPVOETLFFQFS 9p:Xicp=fjk\i JkX]]Ni`k\i ;LI?8Dm)F XBMLT XJUI B TIVGGMFBNPOHUIFEFBEJOBQMBDF CVJMUGPSUIFMJWJOH "T QSPQFSUZ NBOBHFS BU 1JOF 3JEHF.FNPSJBM(BSEFOT 3BMQI )BSSJT HFUT EPVCMF UBLFT 1FP QMF IFBENJUT UIJOLJUTBMJUUMF XFJSE .S)BSSJT EPFTOU MPPL VO VTVBM DFSUBJOMZ OPU XIBU POF XPVMEFYQFDUPGBQFSTPOXIPTF KPC JOWPMWFT CVSZJOH EFBE QFP QMF (SFZ XPSL QBOUT #SPXO XPSLCPPUT"IVOUFSHSFFOHPMG TIJSUVOCVUUPOFEBUUIFOBQFUP SFWFBM B UBOOFE OFDL BOE HPME DIBJO)FGJEEMFTXJUIUIF[JQQFS POIJTGMFFDFKBDLFUXIFOBTLFE VODPNGPSUBCMF RVFTUJPOT MJLF XIBUIJTEFBUIXJTIFTBSF )FTIBLFTIJTIFBEBTJMFOUOP CVU UIF FEHFT PG IJT NPVUI MJGU JOBTNBMMTNJMF)FMMCFTPNF XIFSFJOUIJTQMBDF UIPVHI IJT PVUEPPS PGGJDF GPS UIF QBTU ZFBST 8IFO .S )BSSJT TUBSUFE XPSLJOHUIFTFTQSBXMJOHHSPVOET PO $IVSDI 4USFFU KVTU TPVUI PG 5BVOU PO 3PBE JO OPSUI "KBY JU XBTMJUUMFNPSFUIBOBDPSOGJFME /PX UIJOUSFFTCPSOGSPNUIF TVSSPVOEJOH XPPEZ WBMMFZ MJOF UIFTNPPUI XJOEJOHQBUITUIBU CSFBL UIF DFNFUFSZ JOUP TFD UJPOT 5IF (BSEFO PG "MM 4BJOUT JT GJMMFE XJUI PSOBUF PSUIPEPY NBSLFST NBOZ FNCFEEFE XJUI SPVOEGBEFEQIPUPT"TNBMMPS BOHFQVNQLJO CMBDLTNJMFZGBDF ESBXO PO HSJOT GSPN CFMPX B HSBZTUPOFTVSSPVOEFECZBSFE HMBTT MBOUFSO BOE BO VODBQQFE KVHPGEJTUJMMFEXBUFS 5IFHJGUTUPUIFEFBEIPMENBOZ TFDSFUTPOMZUIFMJWJOHLOPX .S)BSSJT TNJMFT )F LOPXT UIFSFBSF CPEJFTSPUUJOHCF OFBUI PVS GFFU PS BTIFT TFUUMJOH JO HSBOJUFJSPO BCPWF HSPVOE OJDIFT )F LOPXT UIJT CFDBVTF IF GJMMT PVU B XFFLMZ SFQPSU UP IFBEPGGJDF OPUGPSBOZNBDBCSF SFBTPO i*UIJOLUIFSFTCFFOBNZUIPG DFNFUFSJFTCFJOHBEBSL ESFBSZ QMBDF uIFTBZTXIFOBTLFEJGJUT BNPSCJEQMBDFUPXPSLi*UTOPU MJLFUIBUIFSF5IFSFTBQFBDFGVM OFTTu )FTSJHIU%FTQJUFUIFEBUFPO UIFDBMFOEBS 0DU UIFHSFZ TLJFTBOEUIFDPME CMVTUFSZXJOE UIBU NBLFT ZPVS OPTF SVO JUT RVJFU/PUBDSFFQZ TLJODSBXM JOH TPVOEMFTTOFTT CVU B DBMN JOH SFBTTVSJOH TJMFODF 1FPQMF DPNFIFSFUPKPHBOESJEFCJLFT i$FNFUFSJFT UIFNTFMWFT IBWF FWPMWFE u .S )BSSJT TBZT i*UT OPUKVTUBQMBDFXIFSFQFPQMFBSF CVSJFEu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i#JMMJTNZ OBNF DPPLJOHXBTNZHBNFu )BT .S )BSSJT FWFS TFFO B HIPTU " MPTU XBOEFSJOH TPVM BNPOHUIFNBSLFST i4PNF QFPQMF IPQF GPS TPNF HIPVMJTI TUPSZ u IF TBZT i*WF OFWFSTFFOBOZUIJOHPGUIFTPSU %POUHIPTUTVTVBMMZIBVOUIPVT FTPSQFPQMF u C`]\Xdfe^k_\[\X[ 8%A%>if\e&E\nj8[m\ik`j\ig_fkf IXcg_?Xii`j`jk_\gifg\ikpdXeX^\if]G`e\I`[^\D\dfi`Xc>Xi[\ej`e efik_8aXo%È@kËjefkaljkXgcXZ\n_\i\g\fgc\Xi\Yli`\[#É_\jXpjf]k_\ \mfclk`fef]Z\d\k\i`\j% D p k_jXe[]XZkj 9 \`e^Yli`\[-]\\kle[\i`jX]XccXZp K_\i\^lcXk`fe`eFekXi`f`j)]\\kf]^ifle[Zfm\ifekfgf]XZXj$ b\k%N_\i\[`[k_\gfglcXijXp`e^fi`^`eXk\6Effe\`ji\Xccpjli\#Ylk jfd\\ogcXeXk`fej`eZcl[\b\\g`e^Zfigj\j]ifdjgi\X[`e^k_\gcX^l\ `ek_\(.k_Z\eklip#gi\m\ek`e^k_\[\X[]ifd_Xlek`e^k_\c`m`e^#Xe[ Y\ZXlj\f]_\Xm`e^\Xik_[li`e^_Xij_n`ek\ij#n_`Z_Zflc[ZXlj\ZXj$ b\kjkfi\jli]XZ\% DXepc`m`e^g\fgc\ËjeXd\jXe[Y`ik_[Xk\jXi\\e^iXm\[ fek_\`ikfdYjkfe\jcfe^Y\]fi\k_\p[`\ 8ZfddfegiXZk`Z\#\jg\Z`Xccp`]fe\Ëjj`^e`]`ZXekfk_\i_XjXc$ i\X[p[`\[%9lkdXep^fkf^i\Xkc\e^k_jkfefkj\\k_\`ini`k`e^j# `eZcl[`e^dXib\ijc`gZfm\ijXe[[lZkkXg\% 9li`XcgiXZk`Z\jXi\f]k\e[`m`[\[Xdfe^\k_e`Z`kp N_`c\g\fgc\Xkdfjk:_i`jk`XeXe[j\ZlcXiYli`Xcjj`dgcpnXcb XnXpX]k\iX^iXm\j`[\j\im`Z\#dXepZlckli\j$$jlZ_Xj:_`e\j\$$ _Xm\k_\^ifle[jZi\nZfm\iZXjb\kjXjgXikf]k_\Z\i\dfep% JfliZ\j1IXcg_?Xii`j#FekXi`f8jjfZ`Xk`fef]:\d\k\ip Xe[=le\iXcGif]\jj`feXcj#@ek\ie\k ;\Xk_Xe[[p`e^1XcjfbefneXj%%% b`Zb`e^k_\YlZb\k glj_`e^lg[X`j`\j jc\\g`e^n`k_k_\]`j_\j k_\\k\ieXcpXne `ddfikXccpZ_Xcc\e^\[ kXb`e^X[`ikeXg JfliZ\1;\X[ 9li`\[1)(*\lg_\d`jdj]fi[\Xk_Xe[[p`e^Xk[i`e]f% ZX&[\X[%_kdc "OJSSFHVMBSTFSJFTMPPLJOH BUVOJRVFKPCTJO%VSIBN3FHJPO A/P PAGE 16 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, NOVEMBER 18, 2005 durhamregion.com MMaar k Holland Member of Parliament, Ajax-Pickering www.markholland.ca 92 Church Street South, Suite 106, Ajax, ON L1S 6B4 Tel: (905) 426-6808 – Fax: (905) 426-9564 E-mail: hollam@parl.gc.ca Mark Holland holds regular Town Hall meetings with constituents to hear their views about important issues of the day.

STAR students fundraising for Sierra Leone By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — A native African, 13-year-old Kavan Sokhi knows how important the STAR team’s latest project could be to the peo- ple of Sierra Leone. Students Together Against Rac- ism (STAR) schools in Durham are working together to construct a primary school in Sierra Leone through the Free the Children’s School Building Project. “I think it was a really great idea because we know we are mak- ing a difference in the world,” said Kavan, a student at Glengrove Public School in Pickering. Kavan lived in Kenya until she was in Grade 2. ‘I think it was a really great idea because we know we are making a difference in the world.’ KAVAN SOKHI “I actually lived a really good life, I was really lucky,” said Kavan. Her family owned a business in Africa and was able to help others afford school and food. “There was a lot of poor people who didn’t go (to school),” she added. The idea for the Sierra Leone project came out of this year’s STAR Camp, said Nazneen Dindar, the Durham District School Board’s eq- uity, diversity and race relations fa- cilitator. STAR schools are holding various fundraising events such as bake sales and dances and donat- ing proceeds to the building proj- ect. STAR’s goal is to raise $5,000 to $6,000 by the end of November. “It was great to see the enthu- siasm the kids had, they were re- ally excited,” said Ms. Dindar. “The more we’re getting into this, the more exciting it’s getting.” Currently, up to 14 schools are in- volved in the initiative, she added. Kavan said she feels really touched the STAR schools are rais- ing money to build the African school. “That’s a huge difference they’re making,” Kavan said. “They may not know that, but it is.” The school will take six months to build and could be finished by the end of June, said Ms. Dindar and added, when it’s done, those who raised money will have some- thing concrete to see. Through STAR, students talk about the importance of making schools and communities safer and are aware of their responsibility to be good global citizens, said Ms. Dindar. Along with providing an educa- tion for students in Sierra Leone, the project is also educating them on what’s happening in Africa, she said. “They should put themselves in their shoes,” Kavan said of why it’s important for people to be involved in the school building project. “They should feel really lucky they have this.” Schools wanting to participate in fundraising can call Ms. Dindar at 905-666-6933. Durham schools build educational experience for African kids Pickering school attends university for competition By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — Instead of long-jump and running, Durham students recently competed in Olympic events such as egg dropping and the paper triathlon. Through events such as ‘Oodles of Noodles’, ‘Physics Paper Challenge’, ‘Speeding Brain’ and ‘Twists and Turns’, Eastdale C.V.I. and Dunbar- ton High School students recently competed for en- trance bursaries at McMaster University’s Engineering and Science Olympics. “It was pretty interesting actually,” said William Men- heere, a Grade 12 Eastdale student and one of six from the Oshawa school at the Olympics. He participated in paper triathlon, which included creating a bridge, boat and plane out of paper, and in the egg drop, for which students had to craft a lightweight de- vice to protect a falling egg. The Eastdale team used foam blocks and straw for their contraption and although it worked, it wasn’t the lightest one to land safely, said Wil- liam. “It was worth going to be- cause it was a good experi- ence and helps give you good ideas for if you have to do a project like this in the future,” he said. Eastdale also entered Oo- dles of Noodles and Com- puter Science. Greg Wisnicki, an Eastdale teacher, said the students applied their knowl- edge in physics and math for the competition’s challenges. “This year the team was very excited,” said Mr. Wis- nicki. “They want to go back next year. “I wish they got that ex- cited about homework,” he laughed. Even if the Eastdale team didn’t win, the enthusiasm displayed was rewarding, Mr. Wisnicki added. For Dunbarton teacher Roche Kelly, the Olympics were also worth attending. “They did pretty good,” said Mr. Kelly. This was the first year the Pickering school sent a team to the McMaster event. “They got a lot of encour- agement out of it and they had a great time,” said Mr. Kelly. The Dunbarton team par- ticipated in six events, in- cluding the Speeding Brain and Twists and Turns. For Speeding Brain, they received a neuroscience problem to solve on the spot and for Twists and Turns, they cre- ated a 3-D model of a protein and answered questions. “Basically, they got a lot of fun and to see physics isn’t just paper and pen, it’s solv- ing problems,” said Mr. Kelly. He added he hopes a simi- lar competition can be intro- duced in Durham. Along with the events, stu- dents participating were also able to attend lectures and check out the university. For William, the preview of post- secondary life was exciting. He plans on taking electrical or mechanical engineering and McMaster is one of the schools he is applying for. Admission to the Science Olympics was $17 per stu- dent and included lunch and a T-shirt. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, NOVEMBER 18, 2005 PAGE 17 P Saturday, Nov. 26 at 7:30 p.m. Community Pentecostal Church (416 Taunton Road West, Oshawa) WILD ON LONDON!

In honour of The Year of the Veteran, Memorial Gar- dens Canada is dedicating 11 granite memorial walls for permanent display in cemeteries across the coun- try. Ve terans’ names will be inscribed on the walls in cemeteries in Surrey B.C., Edmonton, Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Scar- borough, Kingston, Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax. Fami- lies are invited to call for an inscription card or down- load one from the internet but, to ensure accuracy, they must deliver it in person to Pine Ridge Memorial Gar- dens at the corner of Church Street and Taunton Road in Ajax.

SKU: Lifestyle 38: 10048787 Community Care needs heroic help Driven people needed to work in Ajax, Pickering DURHAM — Community Care Durham is looking for local heroes. The Ajax-Pickering office of the or- ganization needs help with some of its programs. Volunteers are needed to deliver or pack meals one day a week for about one hour. Meals are delivered Monday to Fri- day, between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., in Ajax and Pickering. Candidates must apply for a police record check, the cost of which will be reimbursed once the volunteer has completed three hours with the Meals on Wheels program. Full training is provided. Individuals who can spare two to three hours a week are needed for the transportation program. Volunteers assist by driving a senior to a medical appointment or grocery shopping. Again, candidates have to apply for a police check and a driver’s ab- stract, with the cost reimbursed after the volunteer has contributed three hours. People who enjoy being outdoors and working with their hands are also sought. It’s a chance to earn some money while helping those who are physi- cally unable to do the work. Commu- nity Care needs people on its home maintenance team, which operates year-round. Duties include raking leaves, keep- ing a yard tidy or shovelling snow. There’s a screening process, in which applicants have to fill out an applica- tion form, an interview process and a reference check.

Thuan Dwinnell, 37, of Whitby, plead- ed guilty to sex assault and fraud charg- es early this week, just before a trial was to begin. Prospective jurors assembled at the Whitby courthouse Monday were sent home after the Crown and defence worked out a plea agreement. Mr. Dwinnell pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual assault and eight counts of fraud and was sentenced to four years in prison by Justice David Salmers. Be- cause he was given two-for-one credit for the 20 months he’s spent in custody since his arrest in March of 2004, Mr. Dwinnell will spend eight more months in custody. Prosecutor Robert Corbella acknowl- edged the sentence is “lenient”, but told the judge the Crown had concerns about evidence that would be entered at trial. “I fully acknowledge it is lenient,” Mr. Corbella said. “It would have been a very difficult prosecution.” Mr. Dwinnell was arrested by Dur- ham Regional Police in March 2004 after several young men came forward to say they’d been molested. Mr. Dwin- nell provided the victims, who ranged in age from 15 to 21, with booze, ciga- rettes and drugs, then engaged in sexual activity ranging from fondling to oral sex with the victims. Investigators said the activity occurred in 1999 and 2000 in Whitby, Oshawa, Ajax and Pickering. When cops raided Mr. Dwinnell’s Whitby residence following the arrest, they found evidence of credit card and telephone fraud, Mr. Corbella told the judge. Among the items seized from the home was a notebook containing credit card information, he said. “That notebook was literally filled with credit card data from hundreds of individuals,” the prosecutor said. Police also discovered Mr. Dwinnell was setting up phony cellular phone accounts for people, a practice he con- tinued even after being incarcerated in the Lindsay jail, court heard. Mr. Dwinnell has an extensive crimi- nal record extending back to his early 20s. He has been convicted numerous times of fraud and property offences. Defence lawyer John Scarfe said Mr. Dwinnell, son of an American service- man and a Vietnamese woman, was abandoned after his birth and spent his early years in an orphanage. He was adopted by Canadians, but soon found himself living in group homes here, the lawyer said. “He isn’t really comfortable with peers his own age, so he tends to gravi- tate towards young people,” Mr. Scarfe said. Mr. Dwinnell will be on probation for two years after he gets out of jail, with conditions that prevent him from so- cializing with young people. His name will also be added to the National Sex Offender Information Registry.

The issues surrounding the airport were discussed at the Pickering-Scarborough East MP’s town hall meeting held at the Pickering Civic Complex Nov. 9. Of the 20 people who attended about a handful spoke, including two with concerns about airport- related issues. One man said an airport is not needed and wanted to know how it can be stopped, while another person was more interested in discussing saving homes and the com- munity in north Pickering. Giorgio Siragusa had a lot of questions in his prepared statement. “And what is the reason why Transport Canada has rushed forward at this time with such detailed zoning regulations and so much legal fanfare?” he asked. “Why designate and regulate at this time given that the environmental assessment could possibly result in can- cellation of the project?” Mr. McTeague said al- though he didn’t see an airport being built in Pick- ering in the next few years, the question facing the gov- ernment is what to do with the lands to keep the option open. He said alternatives to building in Pickering are looking at the viability of the Hamilton airport and the To- ronto City Centre Airport. “If we don’t make improve- ments to Toronto airport on the waterfront, it might necessitate the breaking of ground in Pickering for an airport,” Mr. McTeague said. “I’m not saying its inevitable, but we have to do a better job of looking at economic need, resident request and environmental factors. “The specific question of whether we build an airport on the Pickering lands is a long way off,” Mr. McTeague said. Sharon Powell, an Ajax resident, came to the meeting to discuss tenancy on the lands -- a much more im- portant issue right now, she said. Ms. Powell is mem- ber of Land Over Landings, the stewardship group that is trying to stop the evictions and demolitions on the air- port lands. “The federal government has failed to maintain the lands and effectively acted as a slum lord,” she said. (Public Wo rks manages the lands on behalf of Transport Canada). Ms. Powell wasn’t con- cerned so much with the heritage, although she men- tioned saving the historic Tullis Cottage, but rather doesn’t want to see good homes boarded up and bull- dozed. “There needs to be a com- promise. The compromise, in my view, is ensuring what is there can be maintained. The question of what ought to be (saved for heritage rea- sons) is not a political deci- sion -- a group of designated people make the decision,” Mr. McTeague said. Ms. Powell asked Mr. McTeague for help getting the homes taken care of and sub- sequently stay- ing tenanted. He pointed out to do some of the re- pairs would be too costly and if those costs were passed on to the tenants through rent it would make the homes unaffordable. “The money they’re los- ing every year on the airport lands is not going into the homes, it’s going into the bu- reaucracy,” Ms. Powell said. Mr. McTeague gave the ex- ample of a home with $400 a month rent and putting a new roof on that home. “Who makes up the differ- ence?” he asked. Other issues brought up were immigration, the use- fulness of the United Nations and energy help for seniors.

The Fox Goes Free, 339 Kingston Rd., Pickering Student association president welcomes extra millions DURHAM — More money is being made available for post- secondary education bursaries. The provincial government re- cently announced ‘The Ontario Trust for Student Support Pro- gram’ will make up to $50 million per year available to post-sec- ondary institutions. The money will be used to match private and corporate cash donations for endowment funds. According to the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Uni- versities, the initiative means an extra $5 million from current lev- els will now be available each year in bursary assistance, in- creasing the number of bursaries by 2,700 annually. “This announcement is wel- come news for students who face financial barriers to post-sec- ondary education,” said Thomas Coughlan, student association president for Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT). “The enhanced bursary program will provide greater opportuni- ties for students to receive high- quality education to become the leaders of tomorrow.” “This is a significant an- nouncement for the province’s colleges and universities and their students,” said Gary Polon- sky, president of Durham College and UOIT. “It will help Ontario to deliver career-focused education and training to more students.” Post-secondary institutions with endowments of less than $1,000 per student will receive enhanced matching funding for up to three years, said Chris Bentley, minister of training, col- leges and universities.

By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Kevin Goswell knows the pain of losing a family member. That’s why at the tender age of 10, the Pickering resident began volunteering with the Bereaved Families of Ontario-Durham. “I really didn’t want people to feel the same way I did,” he said. Eleven years later, the 21- year-old is still working with the organization. Last month he was honoured for his volunteer work by Lieutenant Governor James Bartleman. He was one of 18 young peo- ple given the Ontario Medal for Young Volunteers. Mr. Goswell came to the or- ganization when he was nine to participate in a support group. He had lost his sister at a very young age, the result of an amusement park accident. When the support group was completed, Mr. Goswell was asked to participate in the mak- ing of a video that focused on children who had lost a loved one. Today, he runs a children’s group, speaks at family support nights and works with a teen group. In 2002, he took facilitator training, which allowed him to work on Bereaved Families’ Pro- fessional Advisory Committee as a peer facilitator. The criminology student said he’ll volunteer as long as he can. He would like to become a po- lice officer when he graduates in April 2007 and having a full- time job might get in the way, he said. He received his medal and plaque in a ceremony Oct. 6 at Queen’s Park. “I was kind of surprised be- cause (the nomination) was (submitted) in 2003 and there was some kind of delay and then it came out of the blue,” he said. The organization nominated him. At the ceremony he was able to speak with the other recipi- ents, including a young man who rode his bike across Canada to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and a young woman with her own radio show. “A t one point I felt that maybe I didn’t deserve to be there be- cause of the work the others had done,” Mr. Goswell said. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, NOVEMBER 18, 2005 PAGE 27 A/P CALL US TODAY ! 416-283-0009 WHY BOOK WITH US?

Christy Chase Staff Editor DURHAM — When the Nathaniel Dett Chorale comes to Oshawa for a Nov. 26 concert for Durham Region Concert Association, audiences can expect an entertaining and educa- tional experience. The first professional choir dedi- cated to the creation and perfor- mance of Afrocentric music will bring its varied repertoire to delight its audience, which will also learn more about the music, say two Cho- rale members with Durham con- nections. “People are just amazed, they’re excited,” said Kaisha Lee, a Toronto singer who spent her younger years in Whitby, attending St. Matthew’s and Father Leo Austin schools. “They really enjoy the music and you can see it’s a learning experi- ence too. Brainerd (Blyden-Taylor, the founder and artistic director) ex- plains to audiences about the music and what they are hearing. He really knows what he’s talking about. He is always teaching us. It’s an amazing experience.” What they are hearing is every- thing from classical, spiritual and gospel to blues, jazz and folk, per- formed by 21 classical-vocalists of various backgrounds. Blyden-Taylor formed the group in 1998, naming it after African- Canadian composer R. Nathaniel Dett, 1882-1943, a prominent mem- ber of a group of early 20th century black musicians who promoted an awareness of their musical heritage. Part of the chorale’s mandate is to build bridges of understanding, ap- preciation and acceptance between communities, through the universal language of music and to bring at- tention to the full spectrum of Afro- centric choral music. It’s the music that drew Karen Scovell, of Oshawa, to the Chorale. “I liked the music,” the former Bowmanville resident said. “I think it was mostly about what the choir was trying to do, to make people more aware of the music and its importance. It’s such an amazing thing. It’s a great show.” Scovell is in her fifth year with the choir and enjoys travelling and seeing how its music has reached people. “It’s a lot of fun. It’s amazing to meet the people across the country. People have been touched by the music in the ways the choir intends,” she said. Lee, in her fourth year with the Chorale, has enjoyed travelling throughout Canada and the United States too. But she admits to some concern on first singing for audi- ences in the States. “Most of what we sing is their history,” she said. “It’s more of a celebration there. They understand what we’re singing about. This is where the music came from. We’re singing with our own edge, our own style to something they’ve known about all the time. They’re still very impressed with our work.” The Chorale has sung with the To ronto Symphony Orchestra, Kath- leen Battle, jazz pianist Joe Sealy, the Signal Hill Alumni Choir of Tobago, West Indies and the Concert Choir of Hampton University, Virginia. It’s performed at events honoring Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Des- mond Tutu and Muhammad Ali. The choir has released several CDs including An Indigo Christmas. Blyden-Taylor has conducted sev- eral university, youth and concert choirs, including a 25-year tenure with the Orpheus Choir of Toronto. He also works as a guest conductor throughout Canada. He’s a member of the teaching staff at the University of Toronto’s music faculty and has appeared at numerous music work- shops and festivals in Canada and the States. “He is one-of-a-kind,” said Scovell of Blyden-Taylor. “The way he un- derstands music is like no other.” The inspiration for the Chorale, Dett was born in Drummondville, Ontario, studied piano as a child and composed numerous works as an adult. One of his works, an eight- part anthem, Listen to the Lambs, was recorded by the Mormon Tab- ernacle Choir, while another, Juba Dance, was a favourite of his friend, Percy Grainger. Dett earned several degrees, studied in Paris, taught at several American colleges and played at Carnegie Hall and Boston Symphony Hall. He won prizes from Harvard University for his scholarly work on black music and for his motet, Don’t Be Weary Traveller. The Chorale also includes others with Durham connections. Gillian Margot McMillan, formerly of Ajax, is a member as is Bramwell Pem- berton, originally from Sunderland. He’s administrative coordinator for the choir. The concert is at the Salvation Army Temple, Thornton Road North, just south of Rossland Road. Tickets are $30 for adults, $10 for students and are available at Thomas House of Music, 1001 Burns St. E., Whitby, Whitby School of Music, 101 Dun- das St. W., Whitby and at the door. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, NOVEMBER 18, 2005 PAGE 29 A/P The Durham Region Health Department will be offering influenza clinics throughout Durham Region forall residents 6 months .

In the women’s section, the Les- ley Pyne rink won the ‘B’ side of the draw at the Sutton Curling Club last weekend, thus being one of two junior teams to advance to the next level. With Pyne were Heather Bell, Leahanne Legrow, Stacey Hogan and coach Jennifer McGhee. Meanwhile, the Tim March rink captured the ‘A’ side of the draw in the junior men’s event. With March were Matt Pyne, Patrick Janssen, Tyler Anderson and coaches Paul Bourque and Alex Bianchi. The teams skipped by Chantal Lalonde and Michael Bryson were sidelined with 0–2 results. The regionals are at the Richmond Hill Curling Club Nov. 26 and 27. ••• A second Annandale team is en- tered to compete in the Kia Cup Zone Playdown that leads to the Brier. Gord Norton is to skip an entry also con- sisting of Warren Leslie, Alex Bianchi and Ron Alexander. The Norton rink defeated a team from the Tam Heather Curling Club to win the M&M Meats Men’s Bonpiel at the Whitby club last weekend. The Norton foursome heads to the Uxbridge Curling Club Dec. 10 to 12, along with the Jason March team. Two winners of the double-knockout playdown advance to the regionals in Bancroft next January. ••• The Bev Reed foursome from To- ronto’s Tam Heather Curling Club captured The Freeze, the Ladies’ Day bonspiel at Annandale last Wednes- day. The rink won the two-game points competition, with Annandale’s Sha- ron Leung taking second place, one- quarter point behind. Third place went to Linda Kavenaugh from Pe- terborough, and fourth to Lisa Pud- dephatt and her Annandale four- some. The winners all got their pick from the prize table. The Freeze attracted 12 teams from around the GTA. CANADA’S WEST HAS NEVER BEEN MORE AFFORDABLE!

Ajax-Pickering Rock coach takes Minnesota by Swarm St. John takes assistant’s job with NLL club; vows to continue in dual role By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — Ajax-Pickering Rock lacrosse head coach Paul St. John has added another position to his full plate of lacrosse responsibilities. The three-year coach of the senior ‘B’ Rock will also serve as an assistant coach of the National Lacrosse League’s Minnesota Swarm. He was hired by general manager Marty O’Neill and will serve under new head coach Adam Mueller. For St. John, who was the Swarm’s director of scouting last season, the assistant’s job is a stepping stone to- ward his ultimate goal. “I couldn’t turn it down,” says St. John. “It’s been a lifetime goal of mine to be an assistant coach and eventually a head coach (in the NLL). It’s a step- ping stone.” St. John says the new position won’t impinge upon him continuing as the head coach of the Rock, although if the Swarm make the playoffs, there may be some overlap. “I’m committed to both clubs,” he says. The Swarm opened training camp in Ontario at the Six Nations Arena in Oshwekan on Friday. The remainder of camp is in Minnesota, from Nov. 18 to Dec. 11. St. John brought two players from the Ajax-Pickering Rock -- Shawn Sum- merfield and Mark Craig -- to camp. He’s confident both players will acquit themselves well and may be able to crack the team’s opening-day lineup. Summerfield played one game at the end of last season with the Swarm, while Craig was the Rock’s leading scorer and second in league points last season. “It would be the ultimate for me and the Ajax-Pickering Rock if they can play for the Swarm. I think they’re both super players and I think they can play in this league.” In other Rock lacrosse news, all the early indications point to Toronto Rock captain Jim Veltman rejoining the Ajax- Pickering Rock for a third season. “It looks certain that it’s going to happen,” says St. John, who’s had con- versations with Veltman about return- ing. St. John says he also plans to touch base with another Toronto Rock player -- Dan Ladouceur -- about returning for a second season with Ajax-Picker- ing. “I would like to bring him back. He’s a high priority for us,” says St. John. Speaking of the roster, St. John - - who’s also the general manager of the Ajax-Pickering squad -- expects to make sweeping changes to the team after being swept in the league semi- final by the Kitchener-Waterloo Ko- diaks. “Definitely, there’s going to be some player personnel changes. I wasn’t happy with what happened at the end of last year. Some of the guys won’t be back,” he says. He was happy, however, with the progress of a number of rookies who improved through the course of the season. He includes Todd Hollinshead, Nick Black, Dan Ackerman and Aaron Binstock on the list of those he wants to return for sophomore seasons. ••• St. John hinted the Rock may not use the Pickering Recreation Complex as their home base for the coming season. He says Rock president Rob Roche has been in discussions with those in charge of the Ajax Community Centre about moving there for the 2006 season, which gets underway in late April. The Rock already use the venue for training camp and for their kids’ camp. 905 WHITBY CAMPUS 668-4211 1818 Hopkins Street 1-866-966-0626 SUDBURY NORTH BAY SAULT STE MARIE TIMMINS BARRIE OWEN SOUND OTTAWA PEMBROKE CORNWALL BELLEVILLE KINGSTON PETERBOROUGH OSHAWA/WHITBY SARNIA CHATHAM WINDSOR KITCHENER LONDON Join the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation and help build not only a business, but an industry.
