PICKERING — Police have is- sued an appeal for public assistance as they investigate a sexual assault on a woman in west Pickering on Monday. Durham Regional Police said a 28-year-old woman was ap- proached by a man around 4:45 p.m. as she walked her dog near Strouds Lane and Rosebank Road. The young suspect, who was riding a mountain bike, asked if he could pat the dog before grabbing the woman, police said. The suspect is a white teen aged 15 or 16, about 6-feet and 190 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. He wore a black ski jacket with a red stripe and dark pants. Anyone with information on the attack is asked to call Detective Andy Bussanich at 905-579-1520, ext. 5349, or Crime Stoppers at 1- 800-222-8477. Woman grabbed by bike-riding attacker in Pickering Raises concerns with a number of regional positions for city By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Pickering has some concerns about what the Region of Durham’s Official Plan amendments mean for its future growth. The Region is currently wrap- ping up its Official Plan review and Pickering staff discussed con- cerns with how the plan relates to Pickering at the May 23 manage- ment forum meeting, in advance of an official report coming to council June 12. Pickering had previously re- quested the area in northeast Pickering not in the provincial greenbelt be designated as a future urban study area. Catherine Rose, Pickering planning manager, said the Region has gone one step fur- ther and given the area land use designations in the draft, with the area on either side of the future Hwy. 407 expansion designated for employment and the area to the north of that and around Kin- sale as living areas. Ms. Rose said Pickering staff would like to see the area around Greenwood designated the same as Kinsale, but regional staff won’t do that because it falls in the noise contour area for the proposed air- port. She said despite the possibility of an airport, staff wants to see the area around Greenwood designat- ed as a special study area. “There’s just too many un- knowns right now to designate (Kinsale) as residential and to leave (Greenwood) as out of the urban area,” Ms. Rose said. Pickering also wants to see the Cherrywood area (part of the Duf- fins Rouge Agricultural Preserve) THERE’S NO STOPPING HIM Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — J.

During its May 24 meet- ing under other business, Oshawa Regional Council- lor Brian Nicholson said he wants to know how the one- week works committee trip was approved, as well as where it’s represented in the budget and how elected offi- cials who attend- ed were chosen. “I have a 10.5- per cent increase in my regional taxes and we’re sending peo- ple on a trip to Scandinavia,” said Coun. Nicholson. He said there is a proce- dure for approving trips that was not applied in this case. “We’re a (finance) and (administration) committee and when this happens, it makes us all look bad,” said Coun. Nicholson. Jim Clapp said no rules were broken in the trip’s ap- proval. “Investigations of waste sites have gone on histori- cally,” said the Region’s com- missioner of finance. Cur- rent policy allows flexibility in budgets and this situation is not a problem because it is a waste-related project, said Mr. Clapp. Upon his return from the trip, works commissioner Cliff Curtis said the trip was directly related to informa- tion gathering specifically related to an environmental assessment for energy-from- waste technology. Although not a line item in the bud- get, the trip’s fund- ing was included in costs for the as- sessment. The “due diligence” trip was open to anyone on the Region’s works committee, said Mr. Curtis. From Durham, three staff and four poli- ticians attended, as well as one politi- cian from York and a consultant. “I don’t see how this is waste related,” said Coun. Nicholson, adding you can get thousands of Internet hits on incinerators from all over the world. But Oshawa Regional Councillor Joe Kolodzie didn’t have a problem with the trip. “Everyone knew these guys were going,” said Coun. Kolodzie. “It’s very strange this is being brought up now when they’re there,” he said We dnesday, the day the group was scheduled to re- turn. He added he saw the itin- erary list for the trip and would not want to go be- cause it was so busy. “This particular trip was very quiet and I’m sorry, but when trips are quiet, it makes me very nervous,” said Osha- wa Councillor April Cullen. Although Mr. Curtis said the trip was never reported to council, it was relatively well-known amongst re- gional councillors. Coun. Cullen said she was also concerned with how many elected officials went, and added she could go on a trip to Switzerland to see how banking systems work, but that doesn’t mean she’d understand the information presented. The acting chairman of the May 24 meeting, Whitby Councillor Gerry Emm, said before the blue box program was introduced, a trip to New England proved to be very helpful. The finance committee approved getting a report about the policies that al- lowed the European trip to be approved without coming through council or budget meetings.

Detective Constable Brent Shaddick, the lead in- vestigator in the case, said the Coast Guard called of its search for missing boater Wayne Osborne, 43, at 10 p.m. on May 22. Mr. Os- borne was reported missing by his family that afternoon. The Coast Guard located Mr. Osborne’s unmanned vessel drifting in the waters off Oak Orchard in New York State before terminating the search. “We’re continuing to search the shoreline in Dur- ham Region for this man,” said Durham Sergeant Paul McCurbin. Det. Cst. Shaddick said the marine unit was out Tuesday and would be out again Wednesday searching the Lake Ontario shoreline from the Scarborough Bluffs to Newtonville. “They’re looking for any signs of this boater or his dog who was with him,” he said. Mr. Osborne was sailing with Spoons, his black Akita (similar to a husky), who was not found aboard the boat. When Mr. Osborne’s 28- foot Corronado sailboat was found it had damage to the mast and sails, con- sistent with rough weather. A Canadian flag was found flying upside down, which is a signal for a boater seek- ing assistance. The boat’s radio was set to channel 16, which suggests Mr. Osborne may have been calling for assistance, police report. Mr. Osborne went sailing on Lake Ontario Saturday afternoon and has not been seen since. He had made tentative plans to meet with other boaters near Port Newcastle, but never ar- rived. Mr. Osborne is described as a white male, 5-foot-8, with a slender build, and a fair complexion. Police continue search for lost Pickering sailor Valuable or a waste?

Ms. Rose said regional plan- ning staff wouldn’t designate it as such because “it would be against pro- vincial policy to recom- mend that,” as the Prov- ince has in- cluded it in the greenbelt and passed the Duffins Rouge Agri- cultural Pre- serve Act to protect it from devel- opment. Mayor Dave Ryan was surprised regional staff wouldn’t designate Cherrywood as a future urban pol- icy area since Durham council’s position on developing it is the same as Pickering’s. There were also concerns with the population allocation. The plan covers until 2031, and with Ajax running out of urban land in 2021, an allocation of 50,000 people that was to go to Ajax is going to be designated for Oshawa and Clarington. “Isn’t that going against the Pro- vincial objective of not leapfrog- ging?” asked Ward 3 City Council- lor David Pickles. Pickering thinks it would make more sense that it get the alloca- tion, which would require more land being designated as urban, or that it be split between Pickering and Whitby. This way there would be less traffic driving across the whole re- gion, Coun. Pickles said, and it would put people closer to the business centre of Toronto. ✦ Pickering from page 1 David Pickles Mike Ruta/ News Advertiser photo Looking for a bargain AJAX — Pickering Village United Church held its first-ever garage sale this month, attracting many vendors and bar- gain hunters, including, from left, Vanessa Aune, nine, Micaela Loreto, nine, and seven-year-old Tara Aune. The girls were interested in some of the jewelry. Church members organized the sale as a community outreach event. Pickering wonders about Re g ion’s ‘leapfrogging’ EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR New marketing program will bring investment here Promotion of Durham now in Region’s hands D urham Region, to its credit, has decided to stop putting good money after bad. After all, the $800,000 invested by the Region of Durham and its member municipalities since 1997 in the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance has failed on nearly all counts. The GTMA started up in 1997 on the heels of the city of To ronto amalgamation. It was created to draw investment and attention to the four GTA regions and Toronto. The thinking was simple: combine forces and create a larger presence that would help all members. It was a fine idea, it just didn’t work out that way. The GTMA has drawn investment, but much of it has been in the city of Toronto. That’s fine for our big-city neighbour to the west, not so good for Durham Region. After more than eight years of work, the only direct result of the nearly $1 million put into the GTMA by Durham was a temporary six-month contract in Clarington. So the Region of Durham has decided to strike out on its own, content it has what it takes to bring provincial, national and international firms to the region. Using a stake of $59,000 from the Region, plus $6,000 each from other Durham municipalities and funding from the federal government, the local international marketing program has $155,000 in start-up funding. It also has a number of local partners who want to get in on the act: Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, the National Research Council and the Canadian Manufacturers Association. The new group can provide a tight focus on Durham- only business and investment opportunities and create a brand that resonates far and wide. And, instead of having to share with neighbouring re- gions and Toronto, those who show interest will be di- rected to Durham itself. In other words, there will be an easily measured and direct correlation between dollars invested in the program and investment produced by it. What’s best is that Durham will control its own program and be able to adjust and alter it as needed. That’s a win for us all. Speeding types likely wouldn’t stop at sign To the editor: Re: ‘Rougemount residents make impassioned plea for sign,’ May 12. I can appreciate Danielle Holmes’ call for a stop sign at Rougemount Drive and Pine Ridge Road and her acknowl- edgement that it is a Band-Aid solution. I wonder whether the drivers that end up in her ditch would even stop at the stop sign.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 26, 2006 durhamregion.com Pro or con, Canadian men and women on the frontline deserve our respect The people who live next door to me recently started flying a Canadian flag in their front yard. When I asked about it, the neighbour shrugged and said it was in support of our troops in Afghanistan. I didn’t give much thought to the issue until the family next door to them put up a flag as well. Taking a quick stroll around the neighbourhood earlier this week, I counted seven flags I’d never noticed before. Does this signify increasing support of the Canadian mission in Afghanistan or just a general surge in patriotism? If you listen to the polls, support for keeping Canadian troops in the increas- ingly-dangerous region is waning. A recent poll conducted by the Strategic Council found that 54 per cent of Cana- dian adults are opposed to extending the mission. That’s up from 41 per cent in mid-March. But Prime Minister Stephen Harper isn’t listening to the polls. His support of the mission is well known. Not only did he personally travel to the region after he was elected into of- fice, but he recently dispatched his right- hand man Peter MacKay to pay a visit to the war-torn country as well. On Wednesday, a vote in the House of Commons showed that a slim majority of our elected officials agree with Mr. Harper in his push to extend the Afghan mission until 2009. Just as the House of Commons was debating the issue, news came that a fe- male solider was killed, becoming the first Canadian woman to be killed in battle during the mission. The death brought home an important point: real people are risking their lives and their sanity trying to bring peace to the region. We may not be able to agree with the politics of war and can argue as to the length or purpose of the mission, but I think we can all agree to stand united in respect for the men and women who chose to go to battle. That is worth raising a flag, at the very least. Izabela Jaroszynski is a Metroland Durham Region Media Group reporter. Email her at ijaros zynski@durhamregio n.com.

AJAX DENTAL CENTRE THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 26, 2006 PAGE 9 A/Pdurhamregion.com Bringing X-Eptance to Durham Youth ‘shell-shocked’ to learn HIV a problem locally By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — No one knows for sure how many young people in Durham are living with HIV or AIDS. There are no anonymous testing fa- cilities in the region, prompting many youth to head for Toronto’s hassle-free clinics for diagnosis. There are also no support groups aimed specifically at the under-30 set. But they’re out there, and Catherine Renaud wants to make sure they’re not alone. Ms. Renaud began working with the AIDS Committee of Durham Region as a high school co-op student, and ad- mits that she didn’t know the first thing about HIV or AIDS when she started. Now, at age 18, she is the committee’s youth outreach worker, and recently kicked off this year’s Global AIDS Week of Action by launching a new youth support group called X-Eptance. “Youth don’t represent the majority of the HIV/AIDS population, but they are one of the fastest growing groups,” Ms. Renaud noted. “There is a massive need for a local group that provides support, advocacy and education.” On May 20, interested youth were invited too attend the first X-Eptance meeting. Ms. Renaud stressed that all young people between the ages of 14 and 25 were welcome, regardless of HIV/AIDS status. In addition to offering peer-to-peer counselling and support, X-Eptance will lobby the government for more funding and action in the fight against AIDS, both in Canada and globally. The group will also work to educate local youth on healthy sexuality and HIV transmission -- lessons Ms. Ren- aud believes are desperately needed. “Youth in this region are more con- cerned about getting pregnant, than getting HIV. I know I was completely oblivious before I started working here, I thought I was invincible,” Ms. Renaud said. “Youth are shell-shocked to find it’s a problem here.” The AIDS Committee of Durham was established in 1992, and provides a wealth of services including counsel- ling and support groups, emergency financial assistance, a food bank, social activities, fundraisers and educational programs in local high schools. The committee currently has about 50 volunteers, but is always in need of more. For more information about the AIDS committee or X-Eptance, call 905-576- 1445 or visit www.aidsdurham.com.

Ve r idian has announced the Tune- Up and Save program, which will allow the first 1,000 customers who register an opportunity to save on both water heating and lighting. “This is one of a number of initia- tives Veridian is pursuing to help cus- tomers manage their electricity costs, and to support the Province’s goal of achieving a reduction in electricity use of 10 per cent by 2007,” said Clar- ington Mayor John Mutton, chairman of Veridian. The program is being offered until Ju ly 30, 2006, to the first 1,000 eli- gible program registrants. All cus- tomers of Veridian with electric hot water heaters are eligible and can call 1-877-331-1115 to schedule an appointment. “The Veridian Tune-up Team will arrive at our customer’s home pre- pared to implement a range of en- ergy-reducing measures. They will insulate hot water pipes, install an insulation blanket on the water heat- er, check the thermostat setting and even replace old inefficient compact florescent lights in high use fixtures of the customer’s choice,” said Mi- chael Angemeer, Veridian’s president and CEO. On average, water heaters use the most energy in the home after space heating. A 175-litre tank can use up to 5,000 kilowatt hours per year of electricity, a cost of about $500 at today’s prices. “This is a tremendous opportu- nity for our customers to save some money and, at the same time, help reduce the province’s demand for electricity this coming summer,” said Mr. Angemeer. “Saving $100 a year in electric- ity per household quickly adds up -- that’s $100,000 per year in savings for the 1,000 customers we hope will take part in this project.” Ve ridian distributes electricity to customers in a number of munici- palities, including Pickering, Ajax, Port Hope, Uxbridge, Bowmanville, Newcastle, Orono, and Port Perry. It is jointly owned by the City of Pickering, the Town of Ajax, the Mu- nicipality of Clarington and the City of Belleville.

The continuing care pro- gram at RVHS realigned across the two sites to better match patient needs and improve patient flow, resulting in an increase of two beds for the Ajax and Pickering site. As part of the realignment, 10 complex continuing care beds were transferred to the Ajax site and eight short-term rehab beds were transferred from RVAP to Rouge Valley Centenary (RVC). This allows for the creation of a much-needed complex continuing care area at RVAP in advance of the comple- tion of the Ajax redevelop- ment project, which includes 30 complex continuing care beds. Additionally, two of the 10 complex continuing care beds at RVAP will be designated as alternative level of care, which will allow the transfer of lon- ger-stay patients from acute care to appropriate beds with- in the same site, in an effort to improve patient flow.

By Izabela Jaroszynski Staff Writer DURHAM — All’s well that ends well, the old saying goes, and it rang true in Oshawa yesterday as work- ers from AGS Automotive Systems headed back to work in good spirits following a tense six-day job action. Early Thursday morning, workers voted overwhelmingly in favour of a three-year collective agreement that gives them only a minimal wage increase, but protects pensions and secures future jobs. Those two issues were at the cen- tre of the job action that immobi- lized the bumper plant and threat- ened production at five General Motors plants across North America that rely on its products. Workers heading back for their first shift after signing the deal were satisfied that their demands for no concessions in the contract were met. “We are happy with the agree- ment,” said David Mason, a 25-year veteran of the company. “We won.” Fellow worker, Gary Demerchant, said the strike was never about more money. “We didn’t ask for dollars and cents,” he said. “We didn’t ask for anything more, we just didn’t want to make any concessions.” The deal contains only a 20 cent per hour wage increase over three years, but keeps the previous pen- sion agreements in tact -- some- thing workers say other AGS plants that negotiated recent contracts were unable to secure. Standing outside the plant before their shift, the workers agreed that the deal couldn’t have been reached had they not gone on strike. “We stood united and that’s what’s important,” Mr. Mason said. But the six-day dispute was not without problems. Tensions ran high on Tuesday evening when Ca- nadian Auto Workers president Buzz Hargrove condemned the job action as a wildcat strike, saying workers walked off the job illegally. Many who walked the picket line disagreed with Mr. Hargrove’s com- ments, saying that it was the com- pany that asked the afternoon-shift workers to leave last Friday. Rob Weldon was working that shift and heard “rumblings from other workers that something was going to go down,” he said. At 4 p.m., he was told by manage- ment to leave the premises. “I was told: ‘It’s unsafe. You have to leave the factory now,’” he said. The company has refused to com- ment on the strike or the events that led up to it. Ed Ochej, the plant’s union rep- resentative, said he is disillusioned with the treatment that the work- ers have received from the national CAW -- a union that is supposed to fight for the rights of workers. “It’s one thing for the union to make all their policies,” he said. “But if they don’t have the balls, the back- bone, or the guts to back them up, then what’s the point?” When asked about the con- flicts surrounding the strike, CAW local 222 president Chris Buckley said it was all in the past. “Those issues are behind us,” he said. “It’s never a comfortable situa- tion when our members take to the street. It was a very tense set of ne- gotiations and I’m just grateful that our members acted responsibly and at the end of they day, they stayed united.” Parents want to protect their kids. It’s no different when they’re in the car. Call 1-800 -268 -4686 or visit www.ontario.ca/smartlove for information and installation tips. • Child safety seats save lives.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 26, 2006 PAGE 15 A/Pdurhamregion.com What’s going on in your community? Just click here By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — The weathered sign out- side Beth Whalen’s office reads “harm reduction,” but in many cases the help she offers behind the door is actually life saving. At the Oshawa office of the John How- ard Society (JHS), a cheerful Ms. Whalen welcomes a daily stream of people look- ing to exchange used syringes for clean ones, no judgment, no preaching. She also dispenses condoms, sterile water, alcohol swabs, ascorbic acid, fil- ters -- anything that makes life safer for intravenous drug users and others in- volved in at-risk activities. Project X-Change started small as a pilot in 1992, and picked up steam in 1997 after it was granted official program status. As word of mouth and funding con- tinue to increase, so do the numbers. In 2001, 32,285 needles were given out and 31,395 came in. Last year, those numbers stood at 102,923 and 102,254 respec- tively. “There is still a certain degree of con- troversy about what we do here,” said Ms. Whalen, who is now the project man- ager. “Unfortunately, some people think we are condoning drug use. The reality is, people have made a choice to use and we’re just trying to keep them, and the public, safe.” Project X-Change is offered at JHS of- fices in Oshawa, Bowmanville and Ajax, and through mobile outreach units. In addition to safely collecting used syring- es and handing out harm-reduction sup- plies, the staff make referrals for medical care, addiction treatment, counselling, housing and other services, and provide educational materials promoting safer sex and injection drug use. All aspects of the program are vital, but the needle exchange is big from a public safety standpoint. No clients are turned away, but Ms. Whalen said they strongly encourage dirty needles to be traded in for clean ones, potentially keeping thou- sands of syringes from being tossed in garbage cans or left in parks and ravines. Despite their best efforts, syringes still turn up, especially at this time of year when students and volunteer groups are involved in massive litter cleanup ef- forts. Ms. Whalen said it is essential for people to know what to do if they find a syringe and is concerned by the misin- formation that persists. “I hear people say things like ‘wrap it in cardboard and throw it out,’ or ‘toss it in a dumpster,’ and it just scares me,” she said. “Think about the garbage man who could get stuck with a needle and have to deal with the pain and stress of not knowing what it might be carrying.” To request a syringe pickup in Oshawa call the JHS pager at 905-438-6870. For Bowmanville, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Port Perry call 1-888-245-1045. Project X-Change reduces harm, protects public DURHAM — Call the John Howard Society or Durham Region Health Depart- ment to collect it. If it must be moved im- mediately, follow these steps: • Don’t touch it -- kids should find an adult and adults should find proper tools be- fore removing it; • Using tongs, heavy rubber gloves, or a bare hand if absolutely necessary, pick up the syringe from the barrel end -- never try to re-cap it if the cap has fallen off; • Place the syringe inside something that won’t be penetrated by the needle -- ide- ally a pop can or heavy plastic container like the type that bleach and fabric soft- ener come in; • Bring the container to a John Howard Society office or the Durham Region Health Department; • If you choose to put it out for garbage, separate the container from the rest of the curb-side garbage and clearly label it with black marker as “sharp waste” or “syringes.” Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Beth Whalen of the John Howard Society runs a needle exchange program called Project X- Change in which used needles are brought in and properly disposed of through the agency. What to do if you find a syringe Cycling idea goes off-road DURHAM — A recom- mendation for no on-road bicycle lanes for Taunton Road is going to regional council. At the May 17 regional works committee meet- ing, councillors approved a staff recommendation to not support on-road cycling lanes on Taunton, but for off-road facilities to continue to be considered if funded by the area munici- pality and if they don’t delay construction projects. The report is in re- sponse to a notice of mo- tion presented at the May 10 regional council meeting asking staff to accommo- date both boulevard and road shoulder bike lanes on the south side of Taunton during the widening of road widening through Ajax, at the expense of the Town of Ajax. Basement flooding may not be prevented in serious storm DURHAM — The Region cannot guarantee basement flooding in Ajax and Whitby won’t reoccur in the future, says a report re- garding last August’s heavy rains. During the May 17 regional works commit- tee meeting, councillors received a report about basement floodings in Ajax, Pickering and Whitby caused by a severe storm Aug. 19 that also left roads under water. The volume and intensi- ty of rainfall run-off caused an overload to the capacity of the storm and sanitary sewage collection system , which resulted in 106 base- ment flooding-related inci- dents. Through investigating homes on Annes Street in Whitby and in Ajax at Lake Driveway East and Lawrie and Gregory roads, it’s reported the Annes Street and Michael Boulevard Sewage Pumping Stations were unable to keep up with the water collection Aug. 19. In Ajax, a review of the sewer’s hydraulic capacity found it was adequate. It’s recommended a detailed investigative study on inflow and infiltration be carried out by a hydrotechnical spe- cialist. Although some hom- eowners have requested assurances a similar event will not reoccur, the Region cannot give guarantees that basement drains will not back up in similar circum- stances, says the report. Residents also inquired about the use of backflow preventers, but without regular maintenance, they provide only the illusion of protection, it says. In the report’s conclu- sion, recommendations include minor maintenance through hole modifications to reduce water entering the sewer system, more in- vestigation into storm water inflow and infiltration to the Annes Street and south Ajax sewer systems, and replacement of the Annes St reet sanitary sewer from Dunlop Street to Newman Crescent.

When they show up at Golden Griddle there is a table waiting for them at the back -- big and round so the wheelchair will fit. The servers know their order by heart and it’s ready in a flash -- five pancakes drowned in syrup, to share. His friend used to be able to eat on his own, but now Mr. Woudsma feeds him and fixes his coffee with just the right amount of sugar. After lunch, they go for a spin around the mall, then Mr. Woudsma heads home and his friend is picked up by Handi-Transit to go back to the nursing home. The weekly visits are a ritual the pair have enjoyed for 15 years, ever since Mr. Woudsma became a volun- teer with the Victorian Order of Nurses (VON). He is one of 200 Durham residents who give their time to the VON volunteer visiting program, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this month. The program pairs trained volunteers with seniors or disabled adults who live at home and are lonely or iso- lated. Volunteers are asked to visit once a week for a few hours, but most do way more. Sometimes, as in Mr. Woudsma’s case, the bond is so strong that it contin- ues even after the client has moved to a nursing home or a long-term care residence. “A lot of the time the match starts as a volunteer-client re- lationship, then it becomes a friendship, then they be- come like family,” said Nancy Hughes, manager of commu- nity support and volunteer services for VON Durham. Alyce Kunetsky can’t be- lieve how much the program has grown since she started it in 1981. At the time, she was working as a registered nurse with the VON Durham office and saw many patients discharged to empty homes with few friends or fam- ily members to drop in on them. “I worried about them being isolated and all alone,” she said. Ms. Kunetsky knew other VON offices had visiting pro- grams so she took the idea to the organization’s executive director who agreed to loan her office space for one year, to get things off the ground. “We had a little room down at the hospital, with a table and a phone,” Ms. Kunetsky recalled. “I think we had maybe seven or eight volun- teers by the second year. See- ing it now is very humbling, I just can’t believe it.” Sharon Mooney came on board as a volunteer that second year, and has since been paired with several cli- ents. She has endless stories, happy and sad, and says one of her favourite memories is the time she spent with her first client, who was visually impaired. “I have a hearing problem and this lady was blind, so I was her eyes and she was my ears... we were quite a pair,” Ms. Mooney said. “You could hear us coming down the street laughing all the way.” While Ms. Hughes can’t speak highly enough of the 200 volunteer visitors they have, she is keenly aware that their average age is 65 and worries about finding people to eventually replace them. She also notes that there are currently 100 clients on a waiting list for a visitor. “It breaks our hearts to call them and tell them we still don’t have anyone for them. It’s the job that all my staff hate,” she said. Anyone with a few hours a week to spare can be a vol- unteer visitor, after passing an interview and completing training. For more information about the visiting program, call VON at 905-571-3151.

At the gala dinner, the nine women were presented with spe- cial Women of Distinction pins, joining the growing ranks of women recognized for their many accomplishments and excellent example to others. Diana Chappell has for 30 years championed programs and ser- vices for people marginalized by poverty, disability and isolation and is active in her church, Faith United in Courtice. Deborah Gordon-Koeper, man- ager of Denise House, a shelter for abused women and their chil- dren, has spent 20 years work- ing to support women and their children who have suffered from domestic violence. Zel Hutchinson, a civilian em- ployee of Durham Region Police Services, works closely with many children in south Oshawa, act- ing as a surrogate mother, mentor and role model and has raised funds for many organizations in the area. Pickering’s Bonnie Littley is a leader in the region’s environmen- tal movement, co-founder of the Rouge Duffins Greenspace Coali- tion and is dedicated to youth education and to raising public awareness of environmental and community planning issues. Tracy Marshall has spearhead- ed a regional initiative to make it safer for women to leave abu- sive relationships and volunteers throughout her community. As a Durham Regional Police officer, she conducts threat assessments in violent cases. Elizabeth Peacock, who worked on the original Women of Dis- tinction committee for the local YWCA, helped found the Durham Therapeutic Riding Association, served as president of Ontario UNICEF and then a Canadian director, helped set up Oshawa’s first women’s shelter and has been busy with many other vol- unteer efforts. Shirley Scott, a councillor for Whitby, has been an active volun- teer in her community for years. She started the town’s Great Little Duck race which raises funds to allow all children to attend the County Town Carnival. Alexandra Carlson, an Ander- son Collegiate student, is commit- ted to human rights at the local, national and international levels and in 2004 attended a United Nation’s student conference on the rights of the child. Fa thia Mbarak, another An- derson student, is a founding member of the school’s Culture of Peace committee, helped or- ganized tsunami relief efforts and the Fostering Hope Campaign and works with the school’s Am- nesty International committee. They were selected from 26 nominees, who were nominated by family, friends or co-workers. The guest speaker for the eve- ning, held at Deer Creek banquet facility in Ajax, was motivational speaker Bahi Krishnakhanthan, a recipient of the Women of Dis- tinction award in 2005. She told the nominees to look at the nomi- nations as a milestone in their careers and to keep striving for their dreams. Each year, the YWCA Durham recognizes outstanding women for the work they do at home, at school, in careers and the com- munity.

Pickering remembers fallen heroes Councillors postpone proposal to move Wednesday meetings DURHAM — A recommenda- tion to save money by adjust- ing regional finance committee meeting dates was not embraced by some of its members. The suggestion to meet Tues- days instead of Wednesdays was tabled dur- ing the May 24 finance and admin- istration committee meeting. Regional clerk Pat Madill said the staff suggestion w as pre- sented to save about $10,000 in overtime costs throughout the year, caused by trying to get the finance meeting minutes ready in time for the Thursday printing deadline for the regional agen- da. “I understand why staff want to do it, but I don’t think it’s staff’s decision when we hold our meetings,” said Oshawa Regional Councillor Brian Nicholson. He added he appreciates the intent, but committee members are also on local councils and often busy Monday and Tuesdays. Whitby Regional Councillor Gerry Emm, the acting chairman of Wednesday’s meeting, said he recalls works committee used to meet on Tuesdays and conflicted with Oshawa meetings. Oshawa regional councillors Joe Kolodzie and April Cullen both agreed Tuesdays are rough. Coun. Cullen asked if they could switch the week and keep the date the same, but Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce said changing the week might complicate their ability to approve recommenda- tions from other committees. “It complicates it a little bit for us,” said Mayor Pearce of the proposed Tuesday date. The motion was tabled for three weeks and is to be dealt with at the next finance meeting.

David Barker, who pleaded guilty last fall to attacks on three women in Oshawa in 2003, will be the sub- ject of a dangerous offender appli- cation next fall. On Wednesday his defence lawyer, Brian Scott, was granted an adjournment to allow him to examine psychiatric reports in preparation for the hearing. Mr. Barker pleaded guilty last September to sexual assault, sex- ual assault with a weapon and attempted sexual assault in con- nection with a string of incidents that occurred in south Oshawa over a seven-month period. The assaults began in April of 2003 when a woman was attacked while walking home along Dean Avenue. The next sexual assault took place in the Bloor and Simcoe area on Sept. 10, 2003. Mr. Barker was arrested Nov. 21, 2003 as he tried to sexually assault a third woman. He has been in custody since that time. The provincial Attorney Gener- al’s office gave consent for the ap- plication to proceed in March. If granted, the dangerous of- fender designation would mean Mr. Barker would be incarcerated indefinitely, although legislation requires a review of that status every seven years. The purpose of dangerous offender legislation is to detain offenders considered too dangerous to be released at the end of legislated maximum sentences for their offences. Mr. Barker’s next scheduled court appearance is in July, when a hearing date is to be set. Justice Donald Ferguson will preside. Sex offender awaiting designation hearing Local aerospace company hopes to do business with China By Izabela Jaroszynski Staff Writer DURHAM — The aerospace in- dustry in Durham Region got an international boost on Monday as delegates from China visited with local representatives to ex- change ideas and information. Hosted by Cametoid Limited, which operates a 26,000 square- foot process facility in Whitby, the nine-person Chinese delega- tion attended a morning seminar about the use of environmen- tally-friendly coating materials in the aerospace industry. Des Newman, CEO of Cam- etoid, called the meeting exhila- rating. “They really know what they are doing,” he said about the del- egates in an interview following the seminar. Mr. Newman hopes these ini- tial meetings will lead to a joint venture with the China Aviation Industry Corporation, one of the largest aircraft manufacturing companies in China. “We have technology that China needs to build their air- craft engine business,” he said. Although he said it is too early to predict what a joint venture could mean for the local commu- nity, Mr. Newman said a visit from China means Dur- ham Region is a “centre of inter- est.” At a luncheon following the seminar, Jiang Qian, leader of the delegation, thanked Mr. New- man for building a bridge that allowed the delegates to come to Canada. He said the next step is for them to present their findings to government officials and get ap- proval for additional funding to proceed with a project involving Cametoid. “I feel there is lots of oppor- tunity here,” he said, speaking through a translator. In attendance at a luncheon were newly-elected MPP Chris- tine Elliot, out-going president of UOIT Gary Polonsky and Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle. The mayor extended a welcome on behalf of Durham Region and spoke about the benefits of doing business in the area, including its proximity to the U.S. market and its well-educated population. “I tell you all of this to let you know you are in a very significant community in Canada,” Mayor Brunelle said. “To do business here is to do business in the heart of Canada.” After visiting the Cametoid facility in Whitby, the delegates headed to Ottawa to meet with officials.

With the numerous barbecue options out there, the barbecue team at Canadian Tire has put together some information to make choosing the perfect barbecue easy. Th ere are several types of barbecues available, each with diff erent features. It’s important to consider your needs when making your decision. Natural Gas - A natural gas barbecue runs off of the gas line from your house. It is easy to light, operate and clean. It also gives you the ability to control the cooking temperature and is relatively inexpensive to maintain because you do not need to purchase or refi ll gas tanks. It is important to remember that installing a gas barbecue can be diffi cult and unless you have installed a long gas line from your house to your grill, it’s impossible to move the barbecue once it has been put in place. It’s important to remember that a natural gas barbecue should always be installed by a trained gas technician. Propane - A propane barbecue runs off of a propane tank and many are portable and easy to operate. When considering this kind of barbecue, keep in mind that tanks need to be fi lled and it’s often diffi cult to know when they are going to run out. It’s best to look for propane tanks that have a gas gauge, which will let you know when gas is low. Added Features W hen looking for a barbecue, there are many value- added features that can make outdoor cooking easy and more enjoyable. . Cooking Surface - Th ere are many diff erent types of cooking surfaces. Chrome is the most widely available type of surface. A porcelain-coated surface is non-stick, making it easier to use and clean, however keep in mind that it may chip over time. Stainless steel and cast iron are also available and are very durable. Cast iron takes longer to heat up, but retains heat better than stainless steel. . Rear/Side/Rotisserie Burners - Th ese burners provide extra space for cooking and also allow you to cook diff erent items without mixing tastes. . Infr ared Sear Burners - Th ese burners get extremely hot. Th ey are used to seal in fl avor and create restaurant- style grilling. Great for steak! What is BTU? BTU stands for British Th ermal Units. BTU is a measurement of heat output. When looking for a barbecue it is important to know how many BTU’s there are, however it should not be the deciding factor for choosing a barbecue. Make sure you calculate BTUs from the true square footage of the barbecue. Side, back and rotisserie burners should be calculated separately. Finding the right barbecue this summer ontariowaittimes.com It’s worth knowing.

More than 500 Grade 11 students were able to pick the brains of the more than 30 guest speakers at the school. Colleges and universities were also set up in the gym to offer information. PICKERING — The Province’s plan for Seaton may be finished, but the area isn’t ready to be developed just yet as the land still has to be transferred to developers. Parts of the provincially-owned land in central Pickering are being swapped with environmentally sensitive land on the Oak Ridges Moraine in Richmond Hill that the Province does not want developed. The Ontario Realty Corporation, the On- tario government’s real estate company, con- ducted a class environmental assessment on the land to be exchanged that was completed in January. The public, however, had the opportunity to request the minister of the en- vironment bump up the EA to an individual assessment, which would be more in-depth. The MOE received 16 requests, including one from the City of Pickering and one from David Steele, on behalf of many concerned citizens. “We’re still in the process of reviewing the bump-up requests as part of the process,” said Mark Rabbior, MOE spokesman. Once ministry staff completes its review it will submit its recommendation to the min- ister, who would then have 45 days to make a decision. Seaton EA request still under review Working group already making strides towards goals By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Residents, community groups, businesses and the City continue to work on ways to make Pickering a model com- munity when it comes to sustainability. The next phase of Pickering’s plan to create sustainability benchmarks was held yesterday at the Pickering Town Centre. The Sustainable Pickering Day featured booths on display dur- ing the day and a town hall from 7 to 8:30 p.m. that included a chance to ask the experts. “It’s an opportunity for a broad section of the public to stop by and talk to staff before it goes to council as a final report,” said Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner, the chairman of the Benchmarking Committee. Residents were able to get information throughout the day from the different displays by community partners, including from the energy and building sectors. Jack McGinnis, president of the RDC Group, said the displays featured topics people were asking about at the first town hall meetings. Mr. McGinnis has decades of experience in waste reduction and recycling and is working with the City on the initiative. He has been doing background work, as well as working with many of the working groups on board, including a community outreach group, a youth meeting and groups with local businesses. “It’s quite an array of different stakeholder groups,” Mr. McGinnis said. “It’s been very exciting.” Coun. Brenner said having the town hall at the mall created an informal setting to attract as many interested people as possible and a wide-range of ideas. The day builds on the first round of town halls that took place in February and March, where the idea of creating benchmarks for Pickering under three sustainability lenses - - environment, social and economic -- was discussed. Both Coun. Brenner and Mr. McGinnis con- tend this is not going to be a process with a lot of talking that ends up in nothing but a report. “We’re bringing it to the people because sustainability only works if you work with the community,” Coun. Brenner said. Mr. McGinnis said he’s never seen an initia- tive such as this spearheaded by a municipality before. “I’ve been impressed with how much Pickering has followed this through,” he said. “Our feeling is we did really hear from people and we have engaged the public.” Action has already started. Mr. McGinnis said after one of the working group meetings Enbridge worked with Dunbarton-Fairport United Church on improving the efficiency of its furnace. “We’ve already seen some initiatives begin to be implemented,” he said. “The choice was not to sit down over several years and come up with a master plan, the choice was to get started with one foot in front of another.” Pickering wants to sustain growth momentum DURHAM — The Head Injury Association of Durham Region (HIAD) has opened a new drop-in centre in Oshawa. Named HIAD Happenings, the drop-in/ activity centre is at 850 King St. W., where activities and a number of learning opportuni- ties are available to brain injury sufferers.

Wet weekend makes for safe roads: police DURHAM — Cold, wet weather dur- ing the Victoria Day long weekend may actually have helped make roads safer, according to Durham Regional Police. Officers patrolling the region’s roads as part of a holiday weekend safety blitz dubbed Operation Cottage Bound laid 64 tickets for infractions such as speeding and aggressive driving. Other charges were laid against a repeat offender found to be driving drunk, and a woman who faces an as- sault rap after a confrontation with a cop. Police said the officer became con- cerned about an infant sleeping in the back seat of the woman’s car with no child safety restraint. The driver became verbally abusive, eventually striking the officer in the knee with her door, police said. Community leaders and public invited to June 13 forum By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — It was eight months ago that two Durham police officers put a plan in motion, to make it easier, quicker and safer for victims of domes- tic violence to get help. This week, Detective Tracey Mar- shall and Detective Cathy Bawden took a moment to pause and reflect and the consensus is that DRIVEN is in gear and picking up speed. “The momentum is really starting, our numbers are growing and people are understanding what we’re trying to do,” said Det. Bawden, domestic violence co-ordinator for the DRPS. The idea for DRIVEN, which stands for Durham Region’s Intimate Partner Violence Empowerment Network, was inspired by the San Diego Family Jus- tice Centre, which houses more than 100 domestic violence professionals under one roof. Det. Marshall, who works with the DRPS threat-assessment unit, said they envision a similar model for Durham, where police, medical care, income support, shelter services and other critical help is available under one roof. That way, a woman who might have only a few hours away from her abuser won’t have to trek across the region to different offices, telling her story again and again. To get the ball rolling, the two women put the word out last fall, calling all professionals and agencies who work with victims of intimate violence. An average of 40 people represent- ing 25 local agencies have been meet- ing monthly since then, with a focus on explaining the services they offer. The goal is for every participating agency to have detailed knowledge of what the others do. “We’re learning too, sometimes we hear about things we didn’t know were available,” said Det. Marshall. “It’s al- ready increasing the level of service we can provide to victims.” DRIVEN also has a mission state- ment and steering committee in place now. The next few months are sure to be busy ones for the team, as they move closer to getting the project off the ground. Catholic Family Services of Dur- ham has applied for a grant totalling $300,000 over three years to help start the pilot project in its Oshawa building. A decision is expected next month. While they await funding news, members of the steering committee are travelling across Canada and the U.S. to visit multi-service centres and consider models that might work in Durham. A local delegation recently checked out the San Diego Family Jus- tice Centre, which inspired DRIVEN, and is the only initiative of its kind in the U.S. Also coming up on the DRIVEN agenda is a forum slated for June 13. Community leaders and the public are invited to Westminster United Church from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to learn about ser- vices available in the community and hear guest speakers like Dave Franklin, who will discuss “relationship terror- ism.” To register for the upcoming com- munity forum, e-mail vcars@drps.ca before June 1.

He spoke of every- thing I want to do. I just feel uplifted and empowered,” Tamiko, 17, said. “You can’t put it into words,” Michiko, 15, added. “You just know that he is so honest and sincere.” Mr. Lewis, 68, was at Sin- clair Secondary School in Whitby earlier this month in honour of the school rais- ing $35,000 for the Stephen Lewis Foundation, a chari- table organization that helps victims of HIV/AIDS in Af- rica. He said the money will go a long way in helping a continent that has “suffered too long,” and has unspeak- able levels of poverty. “This is an extraordinary gathering, and Sinclair is obviously an extraordinary school,” Mr. Lewis said. “I salute you with every fibre in my being. What you are doing at Sinclair is extremely generous. It can transform life for an entire village... it can change everything.” But much of the world has failed, Mr. Lewis added. In 2000, the UN’s Millen- nium Summit identified eight goals for developing nations to be achieved by 2015, among them to cut in half and begin to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS, mater- nal mortality rates and the number of children orphaned by HIV/AIDS. “Unfortunately, not a single coun- try will reach these goals,” Mr. Lewis said, add- ing that countries in a posi- tion of power need to hon- our their promises, instead of “betraying those promises at every turn.” Approximately 115 mil- lion children in Africa at the primary grade level are not in school, some 2.3 million children are living with HIV/ AIDS, and in the southern part of continent, “hunger stalks every land,” Mr. Lewis said. The issue of civil war and conflict is particularly heartbreaking, he said. In northern Uganda, a religious sect called the Lord’s Resis- tance Army has abducted some 20,000, taking them to neighbouring Sudan where they turn boys into young soldiers and girls into sex slaves. “Everything is out of whack; everyone is fighting for survival,” Mr. Lewis said. “We have the drugs, we have the resources... what is the madness that has made this possible?” However, a “renaissance” has begun in Canada where citizens -- and students, such as those at Sinclair and in the school’s model UN club -- are not turning their heads to the plight of Africa, Mr. Lewis said. “I beg you to recognize that what you have done is going to build a tremen- dous wealth spring of hope... where there was no hope be- fore,” he said. Approximately 27 mil- lion in Africa are living with HIVS/AIDS, Mr. Lewis said. Only 15 per cent are current- ly undergoing treatment.

The works range from ‘The Shadows of Whitby Psych’, by Ruth Walker of Whitby, in which three young adults visit the site of the former psychiatric hospital one eve- ning, to ‘Across the Hall’, where St. Thomas playwright Barb Hoskins tells of an unlikely friendship that develops between a univer- sity student and his elderly neighbour. “It’s somewhat of an eclectic mix,” says Ken Bond, co-director and co-founder of the theatre group. “When we called for submissions we didn’t restrict anyone. We preferred not to. We wanted to leave the creative options open to the writers.” Bond, who has two plays in the produc- tion, ‘Barn Painter’ and ‘IVR’, says the idea was to present new works and give writers an opportunity to have their work pro- duced. He can relate directly to how hard it is for a playwright to go from the written page to a theatre production. “I have some direct experience in what it’s like to have theatres produce your work, and it’s difficult to say the least,” says Bond. Each play is up to 20 minutes long, and the logistical challenge is to change sets rapidly and for the actors to quickly trans- form from one character to another. Each of the actors is taking on at least two roles. “We’re going to leave enough time in between for (the audience) to appreciate what they’ve seen, but not too much so that they get restless,” says Mr. Bond. Co-director Jessica Outram, whom he says has a lot of theatre experience and teaches drama at Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School in Ajax, responded with an enthusiastic ‘yes’ when asked to direct a couple of the pieces. Ms. Outram was able to provide a number of the younger cast members needed. “She knows and has worked with a num- ber of teens in drama,” he says. As usual, Bond says StoneCircle co- founder and stage manager Dave Edwards is “a big part of every production we do. “He’s designing lighting and sound and the set, and he’s basically done all of the set construction. He’s amazing.” All the playwrights plan on attending the production and virtually every play is making its stage debut. Rounding out the play list are ‘Defenceless’, by Ken Kalman of Dollard des Ormeaux, Que., ‘Me-ow’ by Krista Dalby of Toronto, and ‘Fontaine of Yo uth’, courtesy of Winchester, Ontario’s Lauree Laing. “I was really quite impressed with the quality of the work we received,” said Bond. The ensemble cast of 11 actors is com- prised of Ajacians Michelle Devine, Chris Gaudet, Jeana Hayes, Hilary Laan and Mi- chaela Waller, Pickering resident Sal Fer- rara, Oshawans Lincoln Trudeau, Trisha Trudeau, Gillian Woodhouse and Sara Woodhouse, and Uxbridge’s Colin Mur- phy. Show times are 8 p.m. on June 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9 and 10, plus a 2 p.m. matinee on June 4. The play is at the Village Theatre, 22 Sherwood Rd. W. in Pickering Village (Ajax). Tickets are $15 and available by calling StoneCircle’s box office at 647-895-2015. For more information on the theatre group and ticket options, visit www. stonecircle.com.

The senior boys’ doubles tandem of Jordan Brooks and Graeme Ma- cInnes flirted with defeat numer- ous times throughout the season, but with a large dose of pluckiness combined with some luck, the duo enjoyed a surprising run to gold at the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics West Zone and overall LOSSA title. And, facing the top badminton teams in the province at the On- tario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) in Timmins recently, Brooks and MacInnes pro- vided the best performance of the LOSSA contingent with a fourth- place finish in the ‘B’ flight, giving them a 12th-place overall place- ment out of 38 teams. Wayne King, the longtime bad- minton coach at Ajax High, says the duo was an enigma, as, although they experienced numerous highs and lows throughout the OFSAA competition, their on-court de- meanour stayed the same. “The most outstanding aspect of our team’s performance at Timmins was their ability to wear victory and defeat in the same manner -- no- body could ever tell by their faces or play whether they were losing or winning and the only thing that people could tell was that they had a true passion for the sport,” says King. “It was perhaps the most exciting OFSAA tournament that I have been at with a team, even if our play was unpredictable. They kept me on the edge of my seat every match.” Brooks and MacInnes got off to a solid start at OFSAA with a 15- 10, 15-9 victory over Jon Pohanka and Sam Lamoure of Harrow High School. In the second round, the Ajax High duo faced a strong team of Jason Wong and Feng Wang of Ottawa’s Merivale High School. With a chance to qualify for the ‘A” flight, and thus finish in the top eight in the province, Brooks and MacInnes were ahead 11-4 in the third game of the match, but were unable to hold it, losing the final game 15-13 to drop to the ‘B’ flight. The Ajax pair seemed on the verge of elimination against Georgetown’s Brad Richards and Corey Carlton, losing 14-3 in the third game. Brooks and MacInnes, however, stormed back to win a thriller, 17-16. In the duo’s next match, the quar- ter-finals of the ‘B’ flight, they faced a strong team from the Region of Peel, representing Rick Hansen High School, losing 15-4, 15-6. In this one, Brooks and MacInnes couldn’t get on track and were dominated in every aspect of the game. The Region of Peel pair later went on to win the ‘B’ flight gold medal. In the ‘B’ flight bronze-medal match, Brooks and MacInnes met David Tram and Ryan Le of Ken- nedy High School in southwestern Ontario. After holding a lead in the first game, the Ajax duo dropped a 15-12 decision. They bounced back to win the second game 15-13, but couldn’t put it all together in the third game, losing 15-12. After easily winning the LOSSA West senior boys’ doubles title, Brooks and MacInnes had their hands full at the LOSSA champion- ships. In the final, they met a strong team of Jonathan Nelson and Louis Philippe Tremblay from All Saints of Whitby. In the first game, Nelson and Tremblay stormed out to an early, 11-3 lead, eventually winning 15-9. In the second game, the All Saints duo got off to another big lead, but the Ajax tandem reeled them in, winning 17-15. In the final game, Nelson and Tremblay sprint- ed out to an 8-1 lead, but Brooks and MacInnes came back strongly for an 11-8 lead. But, within five serves, All Saints regained the lead 13-11. The Ajacians responded again to win the match 15-13 and take the gold medal. Meanwhile, Jessica Wang made a strong Grade 9 debut on the LOSSA badminton scene. She won all four junior girls’ singles matches at LOSSA West. At LOSSA, Wang had little dif- ficulty reaching the final where, she played Megan Peat of All Saints. In a competitive and entertain- ing match, the younger Ajax High player scored a 15-5, 15-8 victory to capture gold. Wang will move to the senior level next year as a Grade 10 student. A.J.

MacInnes and Brooks advanced to the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) championships in Timmins in senior boys’ doubles play, finishing 12th out of 38 teams. Wang is a junior player, and there’s no OFSAA championship at that level. PICKERING — The Pickering Swim Club hosts its last home meet of the season this weekend.

Payments paid by lease customers after July 1st, 2006 will be taxed at the new 6% GST rate.
