Pickering students help boards beat the literacy average By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — When it comes to literacy, Durham’s Grade 10 stu- dents are beating the provincial av- erage. With 87 per cent of Durham Catholic and public students pass- ing the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test, both Durham boards have improved their scores this year and stayed above the provincial av- erage of 84 per cent. The scores are the percentage of first-time eligible, fully participating students who were successful on the test. Administered by Ontario’s Educ- tion Quality and Accountability Of- fice (EQAO), the test measures if students possess expected reading and writing skills. “We are above the provincial av- erage and quite substantially,” said Luigia Ayotte, a superintendent with the Durham District School Board. Its top finishers for the test, writ- ten this year, are Cartwright High School with a 100-per cent success rate, Uxbridge Secondary School at 95 per cent, and Sinclair Secondary School in Whitby and Dunbarton in Pickering, both with 94. Uxbridge’s percentage rose seven points from last year. “What Uxbridge has done is the same thing other schools have done,” said Ms. Ayotte, adding the school probably worked on spe- cial programs, examined data and more. Board educators of all subjects have been working together for a language-rich curriculum, said Ms. Ayotte. “It really has been a concerted High marks for Durham’s high schools The Pickering 44 PAGES ✦ Pressrun 49,900 ✦ Metroland Durham Region Media Group ✦ FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 2006 ✦ Optional delivery $6 / Newsstand $1 150 YEARS Mount Zion marks mighty milestone Page 27 Every Monday and Thursday Give your home a new look for Summer Thinking ofThinking of Hardwood?

A recent study by Statistics Canada that examined income tax returns, shows the Oshawa CMA, which comprises Os- hawa, Clarington and Whitby, had Can- ada’s highest median income in 2004. At $75,000, Oshawa’s overall median -- that point where half the incomes are higher and half lower -- was nearly $20,000 above the national figure. When it comes to Ajax and Pickering, Liisa Ikavalko, a senior economic devel- opment officer for Durham Region, says the data for these areas is rolled into To- ronto and therefore slightly skewed, she said. “Statistically it gets reported lower because of Toronto,” Ms. Ikavalko says. To get an idea of the median incomes in Ajax and Pickering Ms. Ikavalko says it is better to look to the data for Oshawa. “For all intents and purposes, the in- dicators there can also be applied to Pickering and Ajax,” Ms. Ikavalko says. “The same economic developments are there.” For a couple family, the Oshawa CMA total household income median was $83,100, up 1.6 per cent over the previ- ous year. Lone-parent families also fared well with a median of $35,700 -- a num- ber that sits well above the Canadian figure of $29,500. The numbers far outpace the Toronto CMA, which along with Pickering and Ajax also includes Uxbridge. There the overall median is $60,100, for a couple family it’s $67,500, and for a lone-parent it’s $33,100. While the Oshawa CMA numbers sound good, what do those really mean? Ms. Ikavalko says the numbers speak well to the quality of life enjoyed by resi- dents living in the area. “We’re having relatively high house- hold income and, relative to our Toronto counterparts, we have a somewhat lower cost of living,” she said. But it also means that residents are working really hard, Ms. Ikavalko added. “Between overtime and low unem- ployment rates, all indicators show that there is a lot of work to be done and we are doing it,” she said. “In general, folks in Durham are working hard.” Ms. Ikavalko says that the number reflected in the Statistics Canada report is driven by two key factors: good-paying local jobs, such as those at General Mo- tors and Ontario Power Generation; and the large number of people who com- mute to other parts of the GTA. “Obviously we have two major, local employers that both have a well-skilled employee base and a corresponding payroll, but there’s also all the com- muters who reside in Durham and earn their incomes in places like Toronto or Markham.” Despite increasing layoffs in the auto- motive sector since 2004, Ms. Ikavalko doesn’t expect the household median to decrease in future reports. “Year over year, I don’t think things have changed here in Durham that would change that number dramatical- ly,” she said.

EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR We should all embrace green compost program Residents in Pickering and Ajax are about to embark on a new domestic journey to help the environment. So when residents receive their green compost bins they should embrace this long overdue system and put it to good use. Some people already use yard compost systems, but the green bin program is essential in addressing our mounting landfill crisis. So much of the material residents dump into gar- bage bags could instead be diverted to composters. It’s a shame this program wasn’t implemented across Durham 20 years ago. The new Integrated Waste Management system is expected to divert 60 per cent of waste heading to landfills by 2008. Not only will there be less garbage going to landfills but the introduc- tion of thermal processing could turn compost materials into energy. Inevitably there will be some people who will resist one more step in their refuse cycle, who, when all is said in done, care only about the environment as long as it doesn’t become an inconvenience. But if those people can give it the old college try, it won’t be long before using the green bin becomes routine. Both communities need only look to the east to see how easy the system is, or to the small test area in Pickering that so suc- cessfully took to the program. Residents of both communities have been using the compost system for years and those who take part are amazed by the reduction in the amount of garbage they put out on the curb. Also coming with the July 1 launch is weekly blue box collec- tion, which will encourage more recycling, and potentially the biggest change of all, garbage collection every two weeks. Some residents have balked at the prospect of every-other- week garbage pickup, but by fully utilizing the green bin and blue box, the change should be more than manageable in meet- ing the four-bag limit. In fact, by fully buying into the program, residents shouldn’t come anywhere near four bags. It would be nice if everyone could be relied upon to do the right thing, but even where green bins are already in use a drive down a street on garbage day shows that some are using the bins and some are not. We have reached a garbage crisis in Ontario and we need to be serious and dedicated to reaching a solution. So when the green bin arrives, be diligent and compost. Region should clean up its act To the editor: Witnessing people toss litter from their vehicles in the 21st century astounds me. Witnessing people toss litter from their vehicles in the 21st century and then drop off a green bin in my driveway incenses me. I applaud Durham Region for instituting a composting program. I think it’s about time we have a green alternative for disposing of household food waste. However, when the Region’s employees (or the firm hired to represent the Re- gion) purposefully dump Tim Hortons cups and other lunch- time garbage, as I saw done today, it’s time for the Region to get back to basics. Before Durham does its inaugural compost pickup, it would be appreciated if it would first clean up the trash its employees deposited on our city streets.

But I could hear it. Yo u see my wife Heather is asthmatic and the humidity and smog has a defi- nite impact on how well she does from day to day. She tells everyone she’s OK but all you’ve got to do is listen and you can hear the wheezing truth. Each summer you hear about how smog can and does kill those who are elderly or have some form of breathing difficulty. But how many of you actually believe it? Yeah, it’s oppressively hot but as long as you’re breathing fine the announcer on the TV or radio telling us how smog can kill really doesn’t hit home. For those suffering from breathing difficulties however, the threat is all too real. The frustrating part about all of this is that nothing is going to change. De- spite the fact that even our own Prime Minister Stephen Harper suffers from asthma and had to be rushed to hospi- tal mere days after being sworn into of- fice, his government has scrapped the Ky oto Accord adopted by the former Liberal government. Kyoto set targets to limit the amount of pollution Can- ada was spewing into the atmosphere and it was hoped that by 2012 industry would be emitting pollution at 1990 levels. Not that Kyoto was the be-all and end-all to smog. We’re still on the receiving end of smog flowing up from the United States and yes, even our own smog flows down there and to other parts of the country. Let’s face it, despite our borders we’re all in this together. It’s at times like this that I wish sum- mertime elections were more common but it’s been a long time since a govern- ment has called one for July or August - - two of the most oppressive months for heat, humidity and smog. Maybe then parties such as the Greens or even the NDP would garner more votes because under the leadership of the Liberal and Conservative parties pollution levels have hit the point they are today. All I know is that more than one per- son in my family would breathe easier if somebody took pollution seriously and did something about it.

Earlier smog days leave many wheezing for relief Ian McMillan staff editor effort for everyone,” she said. The Catholic board also credits its success to a team effort that includes studying data, training, re- source purchasing, and more help for students. Its percentage has gone from 81 in 2004, to 85 in 2005 and 87 per cent this year. Chris Hurst, superintendent at the Durham Catholic District School Board, said this year’s marks reaffirm the board is on the right track. “Not only the students are im- proving, but also the teachers are improving on how they teach those strategies,” said Mr. Hurst. It’s top three scores were: All Saints Catholic Secondary School in Whitby with 91 per cent, Osha- wa’s Monsignor Paul Dwyer at 90, and Father Leo J. Austin in Whitby with 88. This year, Archbishop Denis O’Connor moved into fourth with a nine percentage point in- crease from 78 in 2005 to 87. For its continued success over the years, Dwyer caught the atten- tion of the EQAO office, which has highlighted the Oshawa school as an example of data supporting im- provement in literacy. The school went from 78 per cent in 2004, to 82 in 2005 and 90 in 2006. “We were thrilled with the re- sults,” said Bianca Cervoni, princi- pal at Dwyer. “At first we didn’t real- ize what a significant improvement it was. “I think it was encouraging for all of our teachers and students.” Ms. Cervoni said in its day-to- day activities, the school works on cross-curricular strategies to align courses with the language present- ed on the literacy test and help improve reading comprehension. Posters were also placed in all of the classrooms to remind students of the upcoming test, practise tests were provided, and more mentor- ing was given, especially to identi- fied students. Being able to write the test in one day, in smaller groups, and alone in the school without the distrac- tion of bells or other students, also probably helped, said Ms. Cervoni. The school’s next steps, as well as that of both boards’, is to study the EQAO data and refine strategies to sustain and improve scores. “Sustaining sometimes is harder than moving up the ladder,” said Mr. Hurst. Not all schools in Durham were able to sustain their marks this year and some slipped. For the public board’s Durham Alternative Sec- ondary School, it went from 62 per cent last year, to 51. “Durham Alternative, they have fewer numbers of students overall,” said Ms. Ayotte, adding she was not going to draw any conclusions around particular marks. Ms. Ayotte said Durham Alterna- tive only had 82 students for the test, which could impact marks. Other schools, such as J. Clarke Richardson in Ajax, had almost 500 students. Cartwright scored 100 per cent and only had 34 students par- ticipate.

The Keep Cool program is coming to the area for the first time this month, en- couraging the recycling of old room air conditioners to reduce energy consump- tion. The 2006 program was launched June 8 by the Clean Air Foundation with partners Ve r idian Connections, the Home Depot Canada, En- vironment Canada and the Ontario Ministry of the Envi- ronment. Old room air conditioners use a lot of electricity and contribute to deteriorating air quality. By retiring one room air conditioner per house- hold, participants can save about $100 each year on their electricity bill. The program runs in the Ajax-Pickering area on the weekends of June 17 and 18 and June 24 and 25. People can recycle their old air conditioners at the Ajax Home Depot, at 260 Kingston Rd. E. Keep Cool representatives will provide participants with a $25 Home Depot gift card for each room air conditioner collected. “We’re very pleased to be bringing Keep Cool 2006 to Ajax-Pickering,” said Mi- chael Angemeer, Veridian president and chief executive officer. “The promotion of conservation and its positive economic and environmen- tal benefits is important to building a sustainable future. Helping our customers be more energy-efficient and save money helps everyone in the long run.” The Keep Cool program hopes to recycle 250 old air conditioners in Ajax and Pickering, reducing energy demand by 284 kilowatts (kW) -- enough electricity to power approximately 85 homes. The overall cam- paign is expected to collect at least 10,000 units across Ontario, representing energy savings of about 11 MW -- the amount of energy required to power about 3,300 homes.

The preferred system deals with the trash left over after Durham residents separate and recycle their household garbage. The recommendation is for a ther- mal treatment of mixed solid waste, with the recovery of energy followed by the recovery of material from the ash. Council will consider the recom- mendation June 21. Land acquisitions too smooth for some residents DURHAM — Lawyer Shane Rayman, representing a number of families and businesses located at the intersection of Taunton and Townline roads in Oshawa, appeared at the Region’s works committee meeting on June 7. In the process of widening Taunton, the Region approached area landown- ers with land appraisals in order to ac- quire the land. The owners agreed and endorsed and signed the acquisition. “Recently, my clients learned there were issues with budget allocation which may impede the agreement,” Mr. Rayman said. Mr. Rayman was at the meeting, he said, to stress the importance of ac- cepting the agreement and finding the funds to pay the homeowners. Cliff Curtis, commissioner of works, explained the purchase of the properties in question proceeded more smoothly and more quickly than had been expected. “So the dollars are not in this year’s budget,” Mr. Curtis said. “What a surprise, property owners actually co-operate once in a while,” regional chairman Roger Anderson said jokingly. “And we are sitting here punishing them for it.” Staff was instructed to come for- ward with a request for pre-budget approval for the purchases in Septem- ber. Lingering disappointment over rejection DURHAM — Works committee chairman Marcel Brunelle expressed his lingering disappointment over Dur- ham council’s rejection of the commit- tee’s material recovery facility plan. The Region’s joint works and fi- nance committee approved a proposal by Metro Municipal Recycling Services on May 17, but council rejected the recommendation at its May 31 meeting. “To say I was disappointed at the meeting Wednesday would be an un- derstatement,” said the Whitby mayor. “Council in their wisdom, or lack there of, rejected that recommendation and we are back to Square 1.” Commissioner of works Cliff Curtis told the committee staff would be sit- ting down in the upcoming weeks to come up with a short- and long-term plan for dealing with the Region’s recy- clables.

For striving to meet the goals of Catholic education, students across Durham were recognized during the 2005-06 Trustees’ Youth Awards, presented during the June 12 Catholic board meeting. The criteria includes being a discerning believer in the Catholic faith, a life- long learner who develops and demonstrates their God- given potential, a caring fam- ily member who attends to family, school, par- ish and commu- nity, and a respon- sible citizen. Farrell Garcia of St. Bernadette Catholic School in Ajax was this year’s elementary win- ner. “Farrell is a role model of faith within the classroom, school and parish commu- nity,” said Oshawa Trustee Joe Corey, listing some ex- amples taken from the nomination application for the Grade 8 student. “Farrell sets very high stan- dards for himself and strives to follow the ex- ample of Christ,” he contin- ued. “He is very reflective, mature and insightful. He is known to naturally earn and accept leadership roles in sports teams and class group work.” Other elementary nomi- nees recognized included Claire Burke of Our Lady of the Bay Catholic School in Pickering, Jennifer Lahey of St. Mark the Evangelist in Whitby, Ashley Windatt of Holy Family in Beaverton and Nathan Young of Father Francis Mahoney in Osha- wa. At the secondary school level, Simone Julien and Dante Labriola tied for first. Trustee Corey read exam- ples from the nominations for both students. “Simone is a very talented young woman,” he said. “Her years at Denis O’Connor (Catholic High School in Ajax) have seen her be a part of student council for four years... school sports teams for all four years, as well as peer tutoring.” Dante, a Grade 12 student at Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School in Os- hawa, is “truly an amazing young man who is a discern- ing believer in all he does,” said Trustee Corey. “His goal is to become a high school religious education teacher and we’re looking forward to you coming back.” Other secondary nomi- nees included Marga- ret Cappa of St. Mary in Pickering, Olena Kapral of All Saints in Whitby, Tania Lukacsovics of Notre Dame in Ajax and Rachael North- cott from Monsignor John Pereyma in Oshawa.

Urges region to look beyond manufacturing base By Izabela Jaroszynski Staff Writer DURHAM — Speaking to eco- nomic and political leaders from across Durham Region, Dennis DesRosiers delivered a positive message. “The auto industry is not in crisis,” Canada’s leading auto ex- pert told the group at a breakfast meeting on Thursday. The future reality here is a smaller, but stronger, auto manu- facturing industry, he said. “You are better off with a strong, restructured General Motors,” Mr. DesRosiers added. “It is better for the commu- nity.” But he cautioned that an over- reliance on new vehicle manufac- turing will mean that the region is not taking full advantage of the economic benefits that the auto sector can bring. The auto sector is a $144-bil- lion industry in Canada, but only $50 billion of that comes from new vehicle manufacturing. “It is a big industry out there,” Mr. DesRosiers said, pointing out the $25 billion being made in the used vehicle market, the $52 bil- lion auto financing sector and the $17 billion aftermarket industry. “There are pockets all around, so think broader than just new vehicle manufacturing,” he said. “I’m not trying to downplay man- ufacturing, manufacturing is crit- ical, but (the industry) is much bigger than just manufacturing.” His advice for a healthy auto future in Oshawa revolves around two key issues: flexibility and in- tellectual capital. Mr. DesRosiers says that the industry is moving towards a flex- ible manufacturing trend that can easily cater to fickle consumer demands. “The consumer is the control- ling factor,” he said. “The con- sumer is king.” ‘There are pockets all around, so think broader than just new vehicle manu- facturing. I’m not trying to downplay manufacturing, manufacturing is critical, but (the industry) is much big- ger than just manufacturing’ DENNIS DESROSIERS Because the consumer de- mands flexibility, the industry must cater to it, he said, adding that flexibility is the way of the future for parts makers as well as vehicle manufacturers. Mr. DesRosiers said communi- ties can assist vehicle manufac- turers by encouraging the second key trend: intellectual capital. Engineers and designers have the option of working anywhere in the world, he said, so it is up to politicians and city planners to make the area suitable for in- tellectual workers by developing arts and culture. Intellectual jobs are the fastest growing aspect in the automotive sector, he said. General Motors is leading the way with its investment in the Beacon Project and, with a big chunk of the investment going to UOIT, Durham is in a good place to cater to that sector. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 12 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 16, 2006 139 50 % 19 Sport Shirts 109 29 WELL MADE.

My role as Chief Energy Conservation Ofce r is to ensure that conservation and energy efciency play a vital role in Ontario’s ongoing energy strategy. “The Conservation Zone” is designed to help you nd easy ways to start saving energy an d become part of Ontario’s growing conservation culture. With Environment Canada’s recent prediction for another hot, dry summer, it’s even more important for all of us to think about how to manage our power consumption. In this column, I’d like to “plant” a few ideas about integrating energy efcient landscap- ing at home. Cool Landscaping Ideas for Hot Summer Days Have you ever noticed that parks and wooded areas often seem cooler than a street landscape? It isn’t just your imagination: shade from trees can reduce surrounding air temperatures by as much as 5C. Through the strategic planting of de- ciduous trees (those that lose their leaves), evergreen shrubs and other vegetation around your home, you can reduce your need for air conditioning. Trees are very effective in shading windows, while cooling breezes pass underneath and circulate around your house. If they’re tall enough, they will also help to shade your roof and keep your attic cool. Bushes, shrubs, hedges and ground-cover plants also have an important role to play. They ll in rapidly to begin shading walls and windows, and also help to block heat reection from patios and pavement. When planted around your central air conditioning unit, they serve to pre-cool the air going into your home. Remember to keep all shrubs well-pruned and remove grass and leaves around the unit to ensure good airow. Quick-growing climbing vines on a lattice or trellis are also an excellent natural shade device, especially for patio areas. Planting trees and shrubs in key areas around your home will also help reduce heating bills by providing protection from winter winds and cold. In fact, putting a little thought into energy efcient landscaping is a great long-term investment. As Chief Energy Conservation Ofcer, I issue a friendly challenge to all Ontarians to think about how we use energy every day, and to nd ways to conserve and use it more wisely.

Andrea Monaghan, the tour- ism manager for Durham Region, notes there’s plenty to do locally, and it can be done year-round. When asked if there was a lot to do in Durham from a tourism angle, Ms. Monaghan says, “there sure is.” To urism Week ran June 5 to 11 and it’s a “Canada-wide celebra- tion of tourism,” she says. Co-ordinated by the Tourism Industry Association of Canada. “We provide the framework” locally, she says. “It’s up to provinces and mu- nicipalities to do activities they wish to do,” says Ms. Monaghan. The Region has been promot- ing areas in Durham people can visit, she says. One promotion is coupons inside of Metroland newspapers, including this one, last weekend. The coupons are also available by visiting www.durhamtourism. ca. Coupons are for such sites as the Bowmanville Zoo, Herongate Barn Theatre, Jungle Cat World, Parkwood Estates and the Scugog Island Cruises. One coupon is for a ‘whodunnit’ murder mystery being held at the Pickering Mu- seum Village. To urism Durham has part- nered with local businesses to provide administration and to help get local people to visit sites, Ms. Monaghan states. A ‘partners breakfast’ was held at the Pickering Museum Village to “promote and celebrate the industry we’re all in,” she says. To urism is a big business in Durham, with more than three million people visiting each year, pumping more than $200 million into the local economy, helping to create 2,500 jobs and generat- ing $4 million in taxes. One highlight is the upcoming Canadian Aviation Expo at the Oshawa Airport from June 23 to 25, in which Canada’s Snowbirds will perform.

Callie Osborne, a self-proclaimed jock who rarely cries, gets teary talking about her recent decision to give her mother a new shot at life. The 24-year-old Oshawa native is re- covering from surgery this week, after do- nating one of her kidneys to her mom, Carlleen Riley. For 15 years, Callie Osborne, 24, and siblings Caytie, 22, and Chris, 19, watched helplessly as their mom struggled with a kidney ailment known as Berger’s Dis- ease. She lost one kidney early on and got sicker and sicker as the other one failed. Last summer, doctors told the family that Ms. Riley’s remaining kidney was func- tioning at only ten per cent capacity - which meant dialysis treatment was the next step. “Dialysis is not a nice life,” Callie Os- borne said. “In my mind there was no question that I would be willing to donate a kidney...at first my mom didn’t want to take it, but we talked her into it.” After undergoing a battery of tests, she was pronounced a good match and the surgery took place at St. Michael’s Hospi- tal in Toronto on May 31. Less than two weeks later, Callie Os- borne is up and around, planning to head back to her home in Long Island, in the coming days. She wants people to know that donating an organ is a small price to pay, to give someone a second chance at life. “I can’t lift anything heavy for a little while and I have to hold off on playing golf for about a month...but there are no long term affects on me,” Callie Osborne said. “A little bit of physical pain is nothing compared with being able to do this for my mom.” While Callie Osborne is on the mend, her mother is still in hospital because her body is rejecting the kidney -- a common occurrence that is often fixable with medi- cation. Whatever the outcome, her kids hope their family’s story will encourage other people to consider being live organ do- nors, or sign organ donor cards. “It’s been a rough road for all of us, but we’re getting to the end of it,” said Caytie Osborne after visiting her mom this week. “It’s just so amazing that with a little ef- fort, someone can give someone else the gift of life.” Daughter gives mom the gift of life Callie Osborne, right, recently donated a kidney to mom Carlleen Riley, centre, who suffered from kidney disease for 15 years. Sister Caytie Osborne noted ‘it’s been a rough road.’ Get Rogers Home Phone and Personal TV for $50 a month.

PICKERING — Sustainability and the fiscal imbalance were two areas of dis- cussion at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference that left an impression on Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan. He said there were presentations on sustainability, but it was also a popu- lar topic of casual conversations as mu- nicipal officials from across the country mingled at the conference in Montreal. “O nce again it reconfirmed that the City of Pickering is well in advance when it comes to the whole discussion of sus- tainability,” Mayor Ryan said. People are just starting to talk about it, he said, whereas Pickering is starting to implement ideas. The fiscal imbalance between the dif- ferent levels of government continued to be a hot topic. “What came out of the conference and as a result of discussions is that this is a phenomenon right across the coun- try. Even the have provinces are talk- ing about fiscal imbalance,” Mayor Ryan said. “It really is something that needs to be addressed, and not in a confronta- tional manner.” He thinks all levels of government need to sit down and talk about the ser- vices they provide and what resources they need to be able to provide them. They need to work together to address it, he said. Mayor Ryan said he also came back with ideas from other municipalities to share with staff.

Reverend Karen Smart said they’ve been celebrating all year with a spe- cial event each month, including June’s annual pork barbecue. Next month there is a homecoming event on July 16, a corn roast takes place Aug. 23, the official anniversary event is Sept. 24, there is another barbe- cue Thanksgiving weekend, a turkey dinner in November, and December events include a live nativity and big craft sale. Rev. Smart came to Mt. Zion as a student in 2001 and when she was or- dained in 2003 it became her church. “It’s pretty teeny up there, but it’s a hard-working congregation,” she said. Alma Wilson has been attending the historic church on Eighth Conces- sion Road for 60 years. She moved to the area when she got married and said it was her husband’s church so it became her’s as well. She is less involved in the church now at 90 years old than she was in the past when she taught Sunday school and was the choir leader for many years. The Sunday school was very active, she said, with close to 50 people at one point taking adult, junior and primary classes. The adult class had people of all ages. “It was very interesting because we all had our own ideas and we’d have great discussions,” she said. Mt. Zion is and always has been an important part of the north Pickering farming landscape. “It’s the centre of the community,” Ms. Wilson said. It holds several annual events to give the community -- and others -- a chance to get together and catch up. One of those events is the pork bar- becue, which takes place this year on June 24. A whole hog is slow roasted all day and there is live music to keep everyone entertained. The congregation may only be 30 strong, but they do give back as much as they can, including participating in the Canadian Foodgrains Bank pro- gram every year that sees a crop grown in benefit of needy nations around the world. “It’s wonderful because they work really hard; considering their size, they do an amazing amount of out- reach work,” Rev. Smart said. “We are quite small, but mighty,” Ms. Wilson said. While the church may be small by today’s standards, Rev. Smart said back when it first started it was the largest congregation in the area and one of the first. The current church was built in 1873. “It is one of the oldest churches in the area,” she said.

Wanted: war brides and their stories Local stories needed for fall musical in Port Perry By Christy Chase Staff Editor DURHAM — In 1946, Sarah Crawford, a tiny Glaswegian, and her four-month-old daughter came to Canada from Scotland to join her husband, Ed Cooper, a skinny Canadian she’d met and married while he served with the Canadian navy during the Second World War. After a journey by ship to Halifax and then a train ride to Toronto, Crawford and Cooper, this time in civvies, met up again and Cooper saw his daughter Ann for the first time. To day, their granddaughter, Port Perry’s Liz Austin, is preparing to write a musical tribute to women like her grandmother, war brides who left their lives in Europe be- hind to start anew with their Ca- nadian sweethearts. ‘Operation Daddy: Here Come the War Brides’ will be staged in November by the Scugog Cho- ral Society. But before Austin sits down to right the musical, she wants to hear from some local war brides and/or their families. She wants to include their stories, even their letters and pictures, in the musical. “I would really, really love to have some local stories to tell,” Austin said. “They can be from the war brides themselves or from their families.” Austin’s idea for the musical, a tribute to all Second World War brides, came from her knowledge of her grandmother being a war bride and her interest in music from the 40s. “I’ve always been interested in music of the 40s because I think so much of what we hear today comes from that,” she said. Her desire to write a musical was cemented when she discov- ered 2006 is the 60th anniversary of the arrival of most war brides in Canada. (She said she should have realized that as her mom is 60 this year.) “When I did my research I real- ized very quickly it was a big an- niversary year,” she said. “The bulk of the brides, 93 per cent of them, came in 1946 by the ship load. “I think they showed such a lot of moxy, such a lot of bravery,” she said. About 45,000 women and the 21,000 children they’d had with Canadian servicemen left behind their families and friends in order to follow their hearts, not knowing what their new lives and country held for them, she said. It was dubbed Operation Daddy by the press at the time. It is a romantic aspect of the war, which played cupid to many men and women, she said. “It was war but it also was a very romantic period. People were very spontaneous,” Austin said. “People sometimes made mistakes. Some- times they didn’t.” Her grandparents met at a dance in Scotland and married shortly after. “It really was a love affair for them,” their granddaughter said. Austin hopes she will receive other stories to include in the show, which runs from Nov. 16 to Dec. 2. She envisions includ- ing letters and pictures and telling local stories in the multi-media production. Any war brides or their families can contact her at http://operation-daddy.tripod. com or by phone at 905-982-0352. A major part of the show will be the music of the time, like that of the Andrews Sisters, Bing Crosby, Ve ra Lynn, the Mills Brothers and the swinging sounds of the big bands. She hopes to have cast involved in local Remembrance Day servic- es which will take place just before the show opens. Austin has created two other shows for SCS, Dynamite Dames and Once Upon A Winter’s Eve, and has appeared on stages in north Durham. Alissa Smith will be the music director and Judy Anderson is producer. Tickets will go on sale in Sep- tember. For more information on SCS, go to www.powergate.ca/ ~scugogchoralsociety. The following movies are in the- atres this weekend: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift Directed by Justin Lin Starring: Bow Wow, Lucas Black, Sung Kang and Brian Tee. Rated: PG-13 Set in the sexy and colourful un- derground world of Japanese drift racing, the newest and fastest cus- tomized rides go head-to-head on some of the most perilous courses in the world. Sean Boswell (Black) is an out- sider who attempts to define him- self as a hot-headed, underdog street racer. Although racing pro- vides a temporary escape, it has also made Sean unpopular with the authorities. To avoid jail time, he is sent to live with his gruff, estranged father in Tokyo. Now officially a gaijin (outsider), Sean feels even more shut out in a land of foreign customs and codes of honour. But it doesn’t take long for him to find some action when a fellow American buddy, Twinkie (Bow Wow), introduces him to the underground world of drift racing. Sean’s simple drag racing gets re- placed by an automotive art form that balances speeding and gliding through a heart-stopping course of sharp turns and switchbacks. On his first time out drifting, Sean unknowingly takes on D.K., the ‘Drift King’, a local champ with ties to the Japanese crime machine Ya kuza. Sean’s loss comes at a high price tag when he’s forced to work off the debt under the thumb of Han (Kang). Han soon welcomes Sean into this family of misfits and introduc- es him to the real principles of drift- ing. But when Sean falls for D.K.’s girl- friend, an explosive series of events is set into motion, climaxing with an ultimate high stakes faceoff. The Lake House Directed by Alejandro Agresti Starring: Sandra Bullock, Keanu Reeves. Rated: PG Seeking a change in her life, Dr. Kate Forster (Bullock) leaves the suburban Illinois locale where she completed her residency and takes a job at a busy Chicago hospital. She is reluctant, however, to leave behind the beautiful house she’s been renting. One winter morning in 2006, Kate leaves a note in the mailbox for the house’s next ten- ant, asking him to forward her mail and noting that the strange painted paw prints near the front door were there when she moved in. But when the next tenant arrives, he sees a much different picture. Alex Wyler (Reeves) finds the lake house badly neglected: dusty, dirty and overgrown with weeds. And no sign of paw prints. Alex feels a sense of peace at the house, built by his father, and commits to restoring the property to its original beauty. He disregards Kate’s note until, days later, while painting, he sees a stray dog run across the fresh paint and towards the entrance of the house, leaving paw prints exactly where she said they’d be. Baffled, Alex writes back, saying that the house had no occupant before him and wondering how she could have known about the dog. Kate, who just left it, imagines he is playing some kind of joke on her and fires back a reply. ‘Just for argument’s sake, what day is it there?’ ‘April 14, 2004’ he replies. ‘No’, she says. ‘It’s April 14, 2006’. As Kate and Alex continue to cor- respond, they confirm that they are living two years apart. ‘Loverboy’ and ‘Nacho Libre’ are also in theatres this weekend. Street racers put pedal to metal in Japan ‘The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift’ is a thrill ride through the streets of the Japanese city.

They’ve attacked any and al- most every opponent that has dared share the court with them en route to numerous provincial and national titles at various age groups. So what’s the secret? Coaches? Players? Volunteers? Actually, it’s all of the above. Club vice-president Janet Cairns points to the general interest dis- played by everyone involved as to why the Durham Attack Volleyball Club has gained provincial and national prominence. “The biggest contributing factor for the success of our club is the growth in the number of people interested in volleyball in the Dur- ham Region,” she says. “We are blessed with elementary coaches in both the public and separate board that teach young athletes the basic skills, but more impor- tantly the desire and enthusiasm for the game.” Cairns continued to sing praise by emphasizing the support the club receives from the local schools and coaches. “The number of schools that support quality coaches and pro- grams at the elementary level, make it easier for us as a club to develop athletes and teach them the more complex patterns and nuances of the game,” Cairns ex- plains. “As this enthusiasm grows, so does the number of opportuni- ties regionally and provincially for young athletes to remain active and play volleyball” Not only has the club given these kids the opportunity to re- main active in the sport, they have been able to do so at an elite level. The evidence lies in their recent results, as championship after championship have been claimed by the Attack this season (See chart). Much of the club’s success can be attributed to the coaching staff, many of who were at one point members of the Attack program as players. Cairns says the familiarity is something that isn’t often noticed in the big scheme of things, but is just as key to the success as any- thing else. “Many of our club players re- turn as coaches either in our com- petitive program or in our house league and camp programs,” she says. “Here, they have the op- portunity and responsibility to share not only the skills they have learned, but their experience as a player and their love for the game. “It is the transfer of knowledge, joy and experience that is often not seen as a key contribution to our club’s success,” Cairns adds. Cairns has seen firsthand the rapid progression of the club since 1997, when she and husband Chris Williamson (current U16 Black coach, and assistant with provin- cial program) were approached in regards to establishing girls’ vol- leyball in the region, to go along with the boys’ program. “A fter being approached by a parent who was traveling 45 min- utes to Scarborough each prac- tice night to play volleyball, Chris realized Durham was more than capable of supporting a girls’ vol- leyball program,” Cairns recalls. Capable could be considered an understatement when taking a quick look at the hardware the girls’ program has hauled in. This year alone, they have accounted for 14 of the organization’s 16 pro- vincial and national medals. Although much of the hoopla surrounds the competitive pro- grams within the club, Cairns says the house league and sum- mer programs offer plenty to those who aren’t as competitive. “These programs allow all ath- letes, not just the elite athlete, (a chance) to participate in the game,” she notes. “By encourag- ing growth and development at the recreational level, the base for your competitive program is present, but more importantly you have encouraged the love of the sport in more individuals.” Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Durham Attack Volleyball Club member Leah Saar is one of many club members who has gone on to play at a higher level. She is a member of Canada’s National Youth Team. Hauling in the hardware...

The Golf Association of Ontario- sanctioned event attracted a field of more than 80 golfers. Kevi n Hughes finished in a five- way tie for second place with Wally Berseth of Burlington, John Brock- est of Agincourt, Ian Montgomery of Toronto and Brian Jeffrey of Collingwood. They finished with a 1-over-par score of 73, which was one stroke back of winner Bill Ruiter of Leamington, who fired a 72 to capture the championship. One other Ajax golfer, Bob Tur- cotte, finished in a three-way tie for 18th, with a 78. The Ontario Senior Men’s Champion of Champions is conduct- ed annually for senior players (age 55 and over) who have won their re- spective senior club championships. [ Boxing ] Ajax fighter loses another close decision AJAX — An anticipated re- match between two Ontario rivals didn’t go exactly as planned for a Tiller’s Boxing Club member. Having lost a close decision at the Ray McGibbons Gloves boxing tournament last month, Chico Ca- racas hoped for a reversal of that verdict during a rematch against Padraic Griffin of Orangeville’s Big Tyme Boxing Club as the co-main event at the Big Tyme Boxing Club card last weekend. Unfortunately, Caracas met with a similar fate, losing three rounds to one in the 54-kilogram senior open bout. Chris Tiller, head coach at the club, describes the bout between Caracas and Griffin, the former Canadian junior national champ, as an “exciting fight”. The boxers split the first two rounds, with Griffin the clear winner of the third and final round. Caracas had 11 fights under his belt coming into the Big Tyme event. Meanwhile, Griffin has had more than 50. Caracas and fellow Tiller’s fighter Garret ‘Killer Bee’ Killaby will enter the ring at the Steeltown Box- ing Club card in Hamilton on June 24. 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 CO-OP PROGRAMS & JOB ASSISTANCE TRUCK DRIVER TRAINING & JOB ASSISTANCE Ontario Trade Academy (Registered Career College) Is offering courses in: •Home Inspection Officer Diploma Course •Home Staging Certificate Course •Professional Organization/Decluttering Seminar Call Now To Register!

Life without you is not fun, but I'm told it gets better. This is my tribute to you... We had 18 years together...such a short time when you are with your best friend. You were with us through divorce, cancer, many moves, kids going to college and then coming home and a score of other life lessons. No matter what life threw at us you were there with a wag of your tail or a lick on the hand. Always loving us and knowing just what we needed to help us smile thru the day. Last August you went for a walk and couldn't find your way home. We were faced with the reality of loosing you, but thanks to the kindness of a stranger at the Whitby Go Station @ 5:30 am we found you. Shame on the staff of PAWS for not treating you with the kindness and respect that you deserved in your time of need. You sur- vived, with the help of the amazing staff of The Baker Animal Clinic and my wonderful neighbors of Port Whitby. I think you knew we were not ready for you to go...you survived sickness and injuries that most younger dogs would have suc- cumbed to just to give us more time. When I was sick I asked you to stay around long enough with the boys until they were grown and make sure they would be ok. You did that and more...you stayed long enough for me to make sure I would be ok. You were an incredible friend and we will miss for a lifetime. You cannot be replaced and you will be loved forever. Have fun in Rainbow Heaven...We'll see you soon. We love and miss you dearly. Lee-Anne, Dean, Tyler, Matthew and Jazz. If your reading this hug and kiss your dog, tell them it's from TJ.
