The Pickering 48 PAGES ✦ Pressrun 47,900 ✦ Metroland Durham Region Media Group ✦ SUNDAY, AUGUST 20, 2006 ✦ Optional delivery $6 / Newsstand $1 By Izabela Jaroszynski Staff Writer DURHAM — The General Mo- tors Oshawa Autoplex will soon be building the Chevrolet Camaro inside a newly revamped flexible manufacturing plant, the local CAW president says. The company has announced it will make a “major automotive an- nouncement” at the plant on Mon- day and Chris Buckley said that he expects it to be positive. “GM will finally announce it will reward the men and women of Os- hawa with a new product and a flex- ible manufacturing plant,” he said in an interview from Vancouver. It has been widely believed the new product to be built at the plant will be the Camaro that the com- pany said it will begin producing at the end of 2008. GM has stalled for months on announcing its decision first to pro- duce the car and then which plant will be chosen to build it, but Mr. Buckley is confident a favourable announcement for Oshawa will be made. With a new product in place, the Oshawa Autoplex will be restructured into a flexible manu- facturing facility -- a revamp that will cost upwards of $500 million to GM flexes its muscle car in Durham By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — The AMO con- ference proved useful in bringing Pickering issues to the forefront for two provincial ministries. Mayor Dave Ryan met with both Transportation Minister Donna Cansfield and Public Infrastructure and Renewal Minister David Caplan at the annual Association of Munici- palities of Ontario con- ference in Ottawa from Aug. 13 to 16. “I was very pleased we got the commitment we did from two different ministers,” he said. Mayor Ryan met with Ms. Cans- field to talk about transportation infrastructure. He shared his ideas about extending the LRT in Scar- borough through to the University of Toronto campus in east Scarbor- ough and using it as a transporta- tion hub to link to Pickering and Durham. He also said there is a need for a high-speed link along Hwy. 407 and along the lake shore. “The minister was very receptive and said it matched a lot of her thinking,” he said. Mayor Ryan expects to have a meeting with ministry staff to dis- cuss these ideas in the next month. He also spoke to Ms. Cansfield about the land owned by the Ministry of Transportation in the city’s downtown core that is sitting unused. Pickering has gone on re- cord requesting the land west of Liverpool Road and north of Hwy 401 be used for offices or resi- dential condominiums instead of the rumoured proposal of using it as an overflow parking lot for the Pickering GO station. “She has agreed to put that on the table with her staff as well,” Mayor Ryan said.

Mayor Ryan also met with On- tario Conservative leader John To ry about Pickering. Wa rd 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner also attended the conference. He found it in- formative and beneficial. “The theme this year was re- ally good. It was literally based on green and sustainability,” he said, adding it covered areas such as energy generation and planning. One session he found particu- larly useful was a health promo- tion session by the provincial Ministry of Health. He said he is going to take the information he received and share it with those planning the Seaton develop- ment in Pickering. One of the topics talked about was infrastructure for health promotion, such as recreation complexes and arenas, and how schools can play a part in that. Along those same lines, Coun. Brenner found information from a private company about recre- ation facilities useful. “They talk about developing and building recreation facilities that can turn a profit in private partnerships,” he said. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson also attended the conference. Preparations under way build.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 20, 2006 PAGE 3 A/Pdurhamregion.com Regional, provincial plans still not aligned By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — Plans still aren’t unfolding as the Re- gion would like, but it is forging on with its official plan. “The Province is not giving the process Dur- ham went through with the (Region Official Plan) the appropriate attention,” Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson said. This after a July 28 meet- ing on the plan (ROP) attended by David Ca- plan, Minister of Public Infra- structure Re- newal. When the Prov- ince released its Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe in June it was apparent it did not align completely with the ROP, which has been under review since 2000. The ROP establishes a growth- management structure. Mr. Anderson said he understood that the plans w ould be incorporated, but that didn’t seem to be the case after the two teams of staff met. He said for now, how- ever, staff at the Region will proceed in the direc- tion previously outlined by council, omitting areas in conflict with the provincial plan. “There will be no urban boundary expansion, which is what the (plan- ning) committee was look- ing for,” Mr. Anderson said. On July 5 Regional Coun- cil adopted a resolution establishing the direction for the ROP review. Staff was told to proceed w ith the proposed ROP review amendment and it would be considered by planning committee on Aug. 29, with the exception of all policy and mapping revisions that do not con- form with the Province’s growth plan. The report was released early to the public, stan- dard procedure at the Re- gion, according to Nestor Chornobay, director of strategic planning. “That is so people can review it and decide if they like it or they don’t like it,” Mr. Chornobay said. “And whether or not they want to appear to make deputa- tion.” The purpose of the report is to seek council’s adop- tion of an amendment to the ROP for the transpor- tation, commer- cial, rural, envi- ronmental, and certain aspects of the population, employment and urban land com- ponents of the ROP review. More than 400 submis- sions have been received in the ROP process. In the last phase, Mr. Chornobay said 100 submissions were considered in the amend- ment. As a result of the submissions, some minor changes have been made. “The overall policy thrust, it hasn’t changed,” he said. The report lays out two options for committee’s consideration: deferring a decision on urban area boundary expansions pending completion of the growth plan implementa- tion exercise; or deferring a decision on urban area boundary expansions, but adding a new supplemen- tal attachment to the ROP recognizing future growth areas. The recommended amendment to the ROP implements the approved directions for transporta- tion, commercial, rural, environmental, and certain aspects of the population, employment and urban land components of the ROP review. The amend- ment does not address the aspects of the population, employment and urban land component that are not consistent with the provincial plan. The report is available on the Region’s website, www. region.durham.on.ca. Roger Anderson New name, same goal for fundraising walk DURHAM — The name has changed but the Cheeri- os Heart and Stroke Walk for Heart’s purpose hasn’t.

Police say the incident started when the youth, driving a blue mini-van, was spotted driving erratically first on Hwy. 401 and then on Oklahoma Drive in Pickering shortly before 5 p.m. on Tues- day. Police say a man in a beige mini-van followed the blue van out of concern for public safety. A witness told police that he was inside his residence when he heard a commotion in the parking lot of the Marksbury Plaza in the Whites Road - Oklahoma Drive area. He saw the two men arguing from inside their cars. He then saw the driver of the blue van point a black pistol through the driver’s side window, police say. Both men got out of their cars and argued, before return- ing to their vehicles and driving away in opposite directions, the witness told police. Police say officers found the blue van and its driver shortly after 5 p.m. near Whites Road and Bayly Street. The driv- er, who cannot be named, was arrested without incident. Searching the van, police found a black replica handgun with removable ammunition magazine. The youth is charged with possession of weapons dangerous, possession of a controlled substance and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. He re- mains in police custody. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Ajax/ Pickering Community Police Office at 905-579-1520 or 1-888-579-1520 ext. 2521.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 20, 2006 PAGE 5 A/Pdurhamregion.com Public board receives draft 06/07 budget Funding allows 90 more teachers By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — Featuring an extra $20 million, this year’s public school board bud- get includes more teachers, staff, and money for school block budgets. The Durham District School Board’s 2006/2007 draft operating budget, pre- sented to trustees during an Aug. 16 finance committee meeting, came in balanced at $545 million, up from $525 million last year. The addi- tional grant revenue is to help support ministry of edu- cation initiatives, such as reduced class sizes, student success plans, and increased salary commitments. “Ed and I have had many meetings over the last little while... I believe this is an excellent budget,” said Whitby Trustee John Dolstra, finance committee chairman. “I’m excited about this, I think this is good for Dur- ham, good for Durham kids,” said Trustee Dolstra. A report from Ed Hodgins, the board’s treasurer, indi- cates the 2006/07 budget in- cludes money for about 79 additional elementary posi- tions to address primary class size reduction and increased preparation time; 11 more at the secondary level for the student success/teacher workload initiative; three more custodial positions, and 10 more, 10-month ca- sual custodial positions. Along with staff increases, the budget has higher oper- ating costs and liability insur- ance increases. Transporta- tion funding received a two per cent increase for extra operating costs and fuel. “Increased operating costs are obviously pressures the board faces on an on-going basis,” said Mr. Hodgins. An extra $30,000 for ele- mentary casual clerical and $380,000 more for school block budgets has been added. The latter is money allotted to individual schools to address local needs. In special education, Dur- ham’s budget includes self- contained special education classrooms, several new programs and a facilitator for them. The board will be accessing some of its special education reserves for fund- ing as well, according to Mr. Hodgins’ report. Through the ministry’s funding reorganization, a high-needs grant for special education has been elimi- nated and converted into a per-pupil amount instead, which will work out to about the same amount, said Mr. Hodgins. “I don’t want to send a let- ter of complaint at this point when you just get $20 million in funding,” said Ajax Trustee Marilyn Crawford. She said more money is needed for some special needs students than others, and providing a blanket sum will not work forever. Mr. Hodgins said the board will be develop- ing indicators to monitor high needs students in the future and help ensure Durham’s needs are recognized in other funding models in the works. Trustee Craw- ford said the board will have to keep its eyes open in the future to en- sure initiatives around spe- cial education occur and are not just being talked about. Outside of board funding, the ministry has provided money to outside agencies boards can access, including $25 million to the Council of Ontario Directors of Educa- tion to support professional development for teachers, $20 million to the Ontario Psychological Association to help reduce kindergarten to Grade 4 assessment wait time, and $5 million to the Geneva Centre for Autism to deliver training to education assistants working with stu- dents who have autism. Mr. Hodgins said he anticipates Durham will be able to tap into some of those funds. To assist teachers in devel- oping specialized teaching skills, the ministry has also provided $23 million to the Ontario Teacher Federation. Featured in Durham’s $69 million capital budget is a Pickering High School addi- tion, a new secondary school for north Oshawa, about $16 million for the completion of the Good Places to Learn renewal projects, $500,000 to remove and upgrade under- ground oil tanks, $600,000 for portables, and funding for property acquisitions. Public deputations on the 2006/2007 budget occur on Aug. 21, at 6 p.m. in the boardroom of the Education Centre at 400 Taunton Rd. E. in Whitby. Call 905-666-6402 for more information.

Between Prime Ministers Paul Martin and Stephen Harp- er and Premier Dalton McGuinty, along with many cabinet ministers and staffers both federally and provincially, Dur- ham Regional Chairman Roger Anderson has been able to make a strong case for the rights of municipalities in Canada’s largest province. As president of the Association of Municipalities of On- tario, Mr. Anderson has been able to meet with the prime movers and shakers who have the final say on how much money and power flows down to the local level. He was clearly in evidence during the last federal election when, in his role as AMO president, he tried to get clear answers from federal politicians on gas tax revenues for municipali- ties, among other important issues. His alliance with other powerful municipal leaders across Ontario has helped keep the focus on the needs of the level of government closest to the people. Mr. Anderson’s two-year term as president of AMO should also have nothing but lasting good effects for Durham Re- gion. In addition to his previous service on the AMO execu- tive, Mr. Anderson has built up a priceless network of con- tacts and has only increased his own influence -- and that of Durham Region -- when it comes time to making policy. He will stand out on any leader’s rolodex as a person of power, persuasion and experience who should be consulted before any final decisions are made on policy. He will also be a font of knowledge for the person who succeeds him as president of AMO. Most importantly, in his continued presence as Durham Region chairman, a post he’s held for nearly nine years now, Mr. Anderson will have a bigger profile on the provincial stage. He should be able to get his calls and e-mails an- swered by those with the power to make change. When he asks for road improvements, for transit upgrades, for chang- es to the Regional Official Plan, and for a bigger slice of gas tax revenue, he has a good chance of being heard. Certainly Durham deserves more than it typically gets from Queen’s Park and with Roger Anderson in charge at the Region, our chances only improve. Transit system ineffective To the editor: I see Durham officials are warning residents of an im- pending transit strike this fall. Have you used the service lately? I am unsure how it will be any poorer during a strike, as it is almost non-existent when fully operating. Try using it to reach the GO station in time for a specific train or to get back to your residence from the GO station. Good luck! Walking is a more viable alternative.

Stricter rules for semis needed for safety’s sake I t was as predictable as it was tragic. A traffic jam following a fatal accident on Hwy. 401. “There must have been a big truck in- volved,” I mused angrily as a reporter and photographer from our office were dis- patched to the scene and to a later press conference that announced the bad news that’s becoming all too prevalent, with trucks invariably in the mix. Sure enough, a tractor trailer was part of an accident that left a Whitby boy dead on Thursday morning. And, just as predict- ably, the driver of the semi walked away, reportedly without injury. It’s unknown what exactly occurred on that stretch of highway near the Salem Road interchange in Ajax on what’s the busiest expressway in North America. What’s irrefutable is that, once again, a truck is involved and a person’s life has been extinguished much too soon. When are governments going to wake up and put some regulations in place that will give other drivers on the highway a fighting chance against these behemoths that thunder down Hwy. 401. With so many tractor trailers on the road, perhaps it’s time for strategies that can lead to co-existence on the road be- tween regular traffic and truck traffic. It’s time for strictly enforced speed limits, re- stricted lanes, creating a bypass that would re-route truck traffic around Toronto, or perhaps in the extreme, even curtailing the number of trucks allowed on the 401. Intermodal freight, with trains being better utilized as long-distance haulers of goods, is something that should be explored fully. Most of all, the co-existence of cars and tractor trailers can be different. It should be different. And, on the much-travelled Dixie Highway, aka Interstate 75, it is dif- ferent. Having travelled to Florida via the I-75 on several occasions, big trucks are governed differently, and with a much more harmo- nious effect in the U.S. than in Ontario. To wit, the trucks stay exclusively in the right lane, and they travel at a maximum speed limit of 55 miles per hour (90 kilometre per hour). This leads to a much better travel- ling experience for all concerned. Right now in Ontario, it says here, it’s an uneasy relationship between trucks and other drivers as, all too often, most truck- ers are going way too fast, much faster than the posted speed limits. They engage in tailgating, flashing lights at other drivers whom they deem are travelling too slow, and, when passing, pull in so close to the front bumper of the car behind them that they almost cause an accident. How many more accidents involving trucks have to happen, how much loss of life has to occur, before the will exists to establish some sort of rules of the road for these big rigs?

Historica takes over Encounters with Canada program W ill continue to run under a new name DURHAM — Historica is making his- tory out of the Encounters with Canada program. Ta king over the Encounters program from the Canadian Unity Council, the Historica Foundation of Canada will continue to operate it under the new name of Historica Encounters. Since it began almost 25 years ago, Encounters with Canada has offered youth the chance to learn about their country. As part of its agreement with the Unity Council, Historica bought the Terry Fox Canadian Youth Centre, which houses Encounters, for $1.5 mil- lion. “Historica and Encounters share the goal of bringing together youth from across the country,” said George Addy, chair of the Canadian Unity Council. “Historica’s engagement means a unique program that has contributed so much to Canadian youth will not be lost.” The Historica Foundation is a chari- table organization dedicated to help- ing Canadians discover stories about their country.

Know your enemy. Not only are the videos invaluable for parents who are butting heads with a lice infestation, they act as primer for parents and teachers who want to be prepared in the event of a lice infestation at school. Understanding how lice live and breed, how they are most commonly transmitted and how to check for lice are invaluable tools for conscientious parents. Some of the most helpful tools on the website are videos which demonstrate how to look for lice, the proper use of lice treatments, and helpful tips on how to prevent re- infestation. The website also includes downloadable leafl ets and fact sheets for teachers and is part of a new public education program currently being introduced to schools (across the country) this fall. Lice infestation generally peaks by October each year so the sooner parents visit www. liceguide.com the sooner they can develop their own strategy for head lice.

Unfortunately, for some, it doesn’t take long for the sizzle to fi zzle and for students to fall behind, leading to anxiety, stress and frustration for students, their parents and even for some teachers. Too often parents expect miracles. Chances are that if your child had trouble with a subject last year and didn’t work on it over the summer, the challenges could be even more overwhelming and demoralizing in the new school year. If you wait until the fi rst report card, it’s often too late. Parents can help their children avoid the vicious cycle of falling behind, then playing catch- up for the rest of the year, by reviewing last year’s report card before school begins and quickly recognizing the symptoms of academic challenges. Parents often allow six to eight weeks for a “settling in” period before they begin to monitor their child’s grades and school performance, but doing so can be detrimental to a student’s learning momentum. By the time October rolls around, some students are already becoming frustrated and the learning curve is too steep. All of a sudden, minor problems become major obstacles to success, and very stressful situations develop for everyone involved. Setting goals is critical to success. It’s critical to set goals early to ensure your child is happy and has the confi dence and know-how to thrive and enjoy school. An objective third party, such as Oxford Learning, can help open the door of communication to set goals and rekindle confi dence and a willingness to step outside of the comfort zone when it comes to tackling academics. Once you’ve identifi ed your child’s goals, strengths, weaknesses and learning style, make sure that you share this information with your child’s teacher(s), who can help guide and monitor progress. The more professional the support you can have on your child’s learning team, the better. Oxford Learning Centres are Canada’s leading providers of supplemental and enrichment education services. They teaches students the skills for success in school – how to set and achieve goals, how to read and write more effectively; how to master math challenges; and how to plan and accomplish their schoolwork and homework more easily and happily. If you want to help your child make this their best year ever at school call Oxford in Pickering at (905)420-3141 or the new Centre in Ajax at (905)683-6660.

FROM SIZZLE TO FIZZLE by Oxford Learning durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 10 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 20, 2006 Emergency kits could save your life By Charles McGregor Special to the News Advertiser Almost 40 million Boy Scouts around the world have the right idea. “Be Prepared” has been the motto of the famous youth movement since it was founded almost 90 years ago. Un- fortunately, too many people rely on hope rather than preparedness -- and it has been repeatedly demonstrated that hope is not a strategy that works in emergency situations. There are plenty of people in Durham Region trained to react quickly during difficult times, standing ready and will- ing to help when disaster strikes, many times labouring for long hours under trying and often dangerous circum- stances. But they are also the same folk who strongly recommend residents give seri- ous consideration to preparing for the unexpected by putting together -- or buying -- a survival kit that would sus- tain them and their family members for at least 72 hours. At least two different pre-packaged kits are now available commercially. Canadian Red Cross Disaster Pre- paredness Kit. $54.95. Kit includes: AM/FM radio, four AA batteries; flash light, four D batteries; waterproof matches; biohazard bags; drinking purification tablets; whistle; two rescue blankets; 36-hour candles; towelettes; emergency light sticks; emergency window sign; Swiss army- style knife with a can opener. Available online at www.redcross.ca. Salvation Army/St. John Ambulance Ready Kit/Emergency 3-Day Survival Kit. $59.99 Kit includes: Water-proof radio; flash- light; batteries; safety gloves; light sticks; two-gallon water bladder; biohazard waste bag; empty plastic container for bleach; first-aid kit and supplies; 72- Hour preparedness guide; pocket tissue pack; orange vinyl backpack. Av ailable online at Canadiantire.ca and at these retailers -- Zellers; IGA and MarketPlace IGA; Home Outfitters; Thrifty Foods; Pharma Plus; Buy-Low Foods; Canadian Tire; Nesters Market; London Drugs; G and H Shop ‘N Save; True Value Hardware; Value Drug Mart; V and S; Apple Drugs; Country Depot; Rxellence Professional Dispensary; Overwaitea Foods; Quality Foods; Save- On-Foods; TSC Stores. Also available online are some very informative, free publications which provide many details on the best way to ensure that you and your family can sur- vive in any emergency situations which may arise. These provide step by step instructions on how to complete a “Do it Yourself” emergency preparedness kit. Are You Ready? Emergency Prepared- ness in Durham Region -- available on- line at www.durham.region.on.ca/de- partments/demo/AreYouReady.pdf. 44-page booklet provides information on what you can do to take care of your family, your neighbours and yourself should any disaster strike.

They admit willingly that once your kids arrive at Planet Gym- nastics they won’t want to leave. Now in its sixth year in Pickering and second year in Whitby, Planet Gymnas- tics is a recreational facility that offers gymnastic classes where kids can have fun, get active and workout their minds. And now is the time to register for fall classes. Shawn, who runs the facilities with his wife Denise, graduated from Seneca College’s Professional Coaching pro- gram, with a concentration on begin- ner and advanced gymnastics. He has been a professional gymnastics coach for over 17 years and has trained many champion athletes. Through his studies he discovered the benefi ts of gymnas- tics training for kids. Planet Gymnastics offers a variety of classes, seven days a week, with some- thing for kids as young as 18 months and programs for teens as old as 15. The ‘Parent and Tot Program’, for ex- ample, is for kids between the ages of 18 months to 35 months and is a great opportunity for you to have fun and en- gage in gymnastics with your child in a unique environment. This class is a great way to improve your child’s physi- cal ability as well as their social skills and runs seven times daily during the week and four times daily on weekends. ‘Kindergymnastics’ offers a one-hour, weekly class full of fun activities, games and circuits that require preliminary gymnastic skills for children aged three to four years. In this program they will improve their balance, strength and fl exibility and will gain their self-confi - dence. The ‘Recreational Program’ is for kids fi ve to 15 years of age. It progresses through the CANGYM recreational system, which includes all of the gym- nastic events. Fully qualifi ed instructors ensure that the skills are learned prop- erly before your child advances to the next level. For dancers, cheerleaders, and for kids who are just full of energy, Planet Gym- nastics offers ‘Tumble and Bounce’ trampoline classes. This two-hour class is fi lled with lots of energy, bouncing and fun in which they learn basic tum- bling skills such as front and back hand- springs, somersaults, twisting and many other interesting skills. Planet Gymnastics features a three- storey play centre with a separate ball pit and specialty training equipment for toddlers. They also have a 40-foot tum- bling trampoline, plus equipment that is made especially for kids as well as all the traditional gymnastics equipment such as uneven bars, rings, single bars and balance beams. Children should enroll in September but can be enrolled at any time through- out the season (pending availability), our classes run throughout the school year and we fi nish up the season with a special gold medal presentation to all children held each June. It’s a great way to keep the kids active in a secure air- conditioned environment. To learn more about Planet Gym- nastics visit www.planetgymnastics. ca, call (Pickering) 905-839-7669 email planetgymnasticshs@rogers.com or (Whitby) 905-665-1990 or email planetgymnastics@bellnet.ca Gymnastics improve your child’s stamina and self-esteem Canadian Sport for Life magazine endorses gymnastics as an activity all children should learn because it provides a solid foundation for all other sports. Gymnastics promotes the ABCs of athleticism – agility, balance, coordination and speed and without these basic movement skills a child will have diffi culty participating in any sport. ”Our kids, Kayla and Justin, have been attending your gymnastics pro- grams for the past few years. They absolutely love it! We’ve tried other gymnastics programs in the past, but your program stands apart as the best in Durham Region.” – Ray Lui “Planet Gymnastics gives our kids a great chance to get some exercise, have fun and learn new skills.

The Wo ng’s love of dance and performance is inspiring and will encourage even the novice dancer to feel the music and discover their performance potential. Each member of this dynamic duo has a long list of professional dance credits in movies, TV and music videos, in both choreographic and performance roles and are highly respected and sought after in the North American dance community as teachers and adjudica- tors. Their lifelong dream has been to own and operate their own dance centre where they can share their pas- sion for dance ...and it all begins this September! Breanne and Jeff’s mission is to inspire one child at a time through music and dance. From the look of their already growing roster and fully booked classes at their summer camp ‘Impact Dance’ this August, their love of dance is contagious. Dance Inc offers training for ages three to adult in all dance disciplines including R.A.D ballet, tap, jazz, lyri- cal, acro, tumbling, hip hop, musical theatre; and an all boys hip hop class will be held Fridays with Jeff — mak- ing it cool for guys to dance. Classes are available for all levels of experience from novice to the elite dancer, and students are always encouraged to stretch themselves to reach new heights that they may have never thought possible. Performance and competition opportunities will be of- fered on a regular basis and a professional end of the year revue will be held celebrating all students’ accomplish- ments. For students wanting to make the jump from a recreational to competitive dancer, a performance com- pany is offered where you can try out a couple of local competitions to see if you like the spotlight. Whatever your needs, Dance Inc has a program for you. In terms of feedback, parents are invited to watch their child’s progress on our live studiocam TV during regular class sessions and full progress reports on each dancer’s train- ing and development are provided annually. Dance Inc is committed to the philosophy that a danc- er’s education should consist of two things: excellent, precise technical training, and the chance to grow and perform as an artist. Our program is designed specifi - cally to meet these needs. Our job in dance education is to impress upon the next generation of dancers that it is not about the competition trophy, winning, or the best tricks, rather, it is about your individual progress and the feeling of satisfaction and self esteem that evolves from the exciting and encouraging faculty of Dance Inc It is about becoming better each time, not about being the best all of the time. Dance Inc, is conveniently located at 845 Westney Road South, Unit 1 and will have its grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday, August 28 at 6 p.m. with local dignitaries attending.

The Pickering Athletic Centre would like to congratu- late Andrew Taylor. Andrew was team Ontario Coach (level 7 ages 12/13) at Eastern Canadian Champion- ships this past spring. While under An- drew’s guid- ance, Team Ontario fi nished fi rst place overall. A top-notch coaching staff and excellent students are the reasons why the Pick- ering Athletic Centre have won so many a w a r d s and are so well received within the community. Last year 100 per cent of the provincial teams were suc- cessful in attending provincial championships. Two competed in the Eastern Canadian Championships held in Hamilton, Ontario, in April 2006. At Elite Ontario 5, athletes represented Pickering Athletic Centre, Woman’s Artistic Provincial Championships had six athletes represented by Pickering Athletic Centre, while six more athletes also went to Trampo- line and Tumbling Provincial Championships.

Their friendly, courteous, and supportive teachers conduct well-prepared classes that portray each child in their best light in their beautiful year-end recital. Exams are available to every dancer enrolled in a Ballet, Jazz, Tap or Acro class. Even if they have never taken an exam before, or if they are coming from a studio that has been working under a different syllabus, exams can be an option for you. Most of our students leave for university with teaching credentials, which are a highly recognized achievement on their applications and enable them to fi nd employment in the school system, a city recreation pro- gram or in a private dance studio. The Academy’s polite and friendly demeanor has had a positive impact on students. When travelling to competi- tions, Denise Lester students conduct themselves with class and graciousness, never getting caught up in the cut-throat attitude that you often observe at competitions. This July, several senior dancers travelled to Orlando, Florida, for the national fi nals. While there, two mothers from a U.S. studio complemented the girls’ lovely manners and friendly de- meanor, saying “the Canadian girls were leaps and bounds ahead of the American girls for etiquette and poise.” The school came home from Orlando with a lot to be proud of. The troupe won their fair share of fi rst places and Platinum awards, including: “Knock On Wood” and “Daddy Pop” were chosen for Battle of the Stars; Paige Murray won highest scoring Pro-Am on the pre-qualifying round and Lauren Wightman won it at the fi nals as well as be- ing chosen to perform at Uni- ver sal Studios; Cheyenne Catchpole won highest scoring intermediate solo; “Knock On Wood” won high scoring Teen group, Megan Corless won ‘Most Entertaining’; Sara Wood won high-scoring Acro; Victoria Danks won third high-scoring senior solo and Jenna Higgins won high scor- ing Hip Hop. Owner Denise Lester cites ‘those two moms who noticed something in our students that set them above the rest’ as being the biggest compliment. This past year was an outstanding competitive season. Following exams, nine more students became qualifi ed dance teachers. The academy performed for two nursing homes, twice for Sick Children’s charities, as well as Chil- dren’s Diabetes and for Children’s Aid. On August 20, they will perform at the Eaton’s Centre for the launch of the La Senza Girl’s ‘Zoe 101’ line of clothing. Fourteen dancers are performing in Wonderland’s new Nickelodeon Parade. Cindy Willems performed at Stratford in Hello Dolly, Shannon Lewis performed on Broad- way in Sweet Charity and then on to Boston to perform the part of Lola in Damn Yankees. Wendy is performing at the Scott House, Suzie is choreo- graphing for Wonderland, Talisa and Jordanna are again part of the Raptor’s Dance Pak. Since there is no way of knowing what children might excel in or just merely love to do, it is essential to enrol your child at the studio that you would like to see them graduate from. Children are very quick to become attached to people and places and are of- ten reluctant to move away from familiar surround- ings and newly made friends. Whether they have decided to join Denise Lester Dance Academy for one class a week or become part of their competitive team, new students are warmly welcomed by both teachers and students. Every parent knows the advantages when their child fi nds an activity they can express themselves through, the higher self-esteem, the potential of higher grades in school, meet- ing those special friends who support them through the growing years and into adulthood. Denise Lester Dance Academy can provide this for your child. Please call 905- 839-3041 so that Denise can answer all of your questions. Experienced dance teachers bring out your child’s best Once again, September draws near and parents across Durham search for the ideal dance studio for their child.

It has been a vision and priority of Councils since the 1950s to ensure that Ajax’s waterfront remains open and free of private development. We are very proud to boast the completion and now, the many usages of our waterfront. Ajax is one of the only communities in Ontario with an uninterrupted waterfront that is entirely accessible to the public. Stretching the full length of the Ajax waterfront from the Whitby border to Pickering, the picturesque six- kilometre multi-purpose pathway is the envy of many communities. To mark the completion of the trail, the Town of Ajax will host Celebrate Ajax by the Lake - we promise the entire trail will be bustling with activity. Whether you are a long-time resident, new to our community or a visitor, we invite you to put on your walking shoes, get out your bicycles, in-line skates and wagons and join us to celebrate this milestone in Ajax history, and to explore and experience what the waterfront has to offer. Escape for an afternoon of guaranteed fun for the whole family. Once you visit the Ajax waterfront - you and your family will want to keep coming back.

She admits the she could never stop talking about how the studio has ma- tured, but the one thing she prides the most is how to teach our chil- dren “To be the best you can be.” It does not matter whether children dance recreationally or competi- tively, they still need to feel con- fi dent and good about what they are doing. The art of dance has so many things to offer a child other than dance steps. It helps prepare children for so many challenges they will encounter on their journey to adulthood. Dance instills confi dence, co-or- dination, discipline, emotion, pas- sion, pride — the positive infl u- ences of dance are endless. It is a proven statistic that only one per cent of all children that dance will become professional dancers. It truly is more than just learn- ing steps. As a studio owner and teacher, Roberts says she often hears, “Wow, you’re doing so well, you’ve won a lot of awards! You must be happy.” While she is always thankful, she measures her success on the growth of the children with- in the studio. Nothing is more reward- ing to know that many of her students have been at the studio since the age of three. For her, it’s an honour to watch these children take their fi rst steps in her studio and then watch them glide into young adults. Roberts feels very privileged to have the opportunity to offer chil- dren ages three and up, Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Pointe, Lyrical, Hip Hop, Acro, Musical Theatre, and Pi- lates. These classes are offered in a spacious 7000 sq.ft. studio with state of the art equipment and scenery. It truly is a home away from home. She is also very proud of the highly qualifi ed teaching staff adding: “We all share the same pas- sion of teaching dance.” As she enters her fi fteenth sea- son, she is very honoured to have watched so many dancers grow. Some have become professional dancers with careers taking them all over the world, others are dance teachers, doctors, lawyers, school teachers etc. and all of them have come back to tell me that their confi dence and success was helped by the art of dance. Tammy Roberts looks forward to another exciting year at Durham Dance Centre, and she invite you to join her. Please call for more information or a tour of our beautiful studio.

Why not make the fi rst experience enjoyable? The children will be in a warm room, which also benefi ts the parents. No cold seats! We also have very fl exible hours to accommodate both stay at home and working parents. We installed this surface in January 2000, before that we ran a Parent and Tot program on real ice. Sometimes, we would spend the fi rst four classes just trying to get the children to stand alone and take steps with the parent’s help. On our synthetic surface, your child will learn how to go forward, backwards, stopping and gliding, all within the fi rst four weeks. All of this will be accomplished without the use of skate aids or parental assistance. Incorporating practice on the real surface will aid in progress as well. We have a great student/teacher ratio, which is 6-1. We feel this gives the child more time with the instructor. Consistency helps a child as well, so we try to have the instructor for the full 10 weeks. Our instructors can be ringette players, fi gure skaters or hockey players and must go through our training program before a permanent job is offered. Our program is unique, therefore a set lesson plan is prepared and must be followed. I personally oversee the groups to ensure standards are met. Our real ice program offers a variety of levels. For the children who have just fi nished a synthetic class, we offer a beginner class on the real ice surface. The real ice program has adult beginner and advanced, preschool, school age, recreational fi gure skating and hockey skill classes. We also have a new Learn to Play Hockey program. We arrange our groups according to age and skill level. Most importantly, we want your child to learn how to skate and to have fun doing it.

The new studios, situated on the south side of Bayly, east of Brock Road will allow us to offer our dance classes in one contiguous space. We will be housing four bright new studios. Each studio features a sprung wood fl oor covered with the latest professional dance fl oor covering, pro- fessional sound systems, full length mirrors, and new bal- let barres. The whole facility is climate controlled. In addi- tion to this, there are improved dressing rooms, kitchen, and lounge areas for the dancers, as well as a separate changeroom for the boys. Colour video feeds will be piped into the waiting area so anxious moms and dads can watch their dancers whenever they want. JSOD is happy to tell you that our staff will be remain- ing with us for the upcoming season. Angela and Lesley will be welcoming you at each visit as our administrative staff while Fiona will be spending more time at home un- til Thanksgiving with her new baby boy. Gwen, Jordana, Michelle, Lisa, Lia, and Amy will be picking up her classes to ensure the quality of the dance lessons we offer exceeds your expectations. Jacqueline spent much of her summer attending workshops in New York in order to stay on top of new trends, and to bolster the creativity of her dance teachers and dancers alike. Jacqueline’s School of Dance offers both competitive and recreational dance lessons for everyone. From ages three to ‘the golden age’. We have a class for everyone, regardless of age or ability. Our fun fi rst attitude is never compro- mised. We recognize that you want your dance lessons to be professionally delivered, coordinated to meet a dance syllabus, and to chal- lenge each dancer to be the best they can be, but we never lose focus of the fact that this is an activity that must be fun. What else is new? New classes are forming every week. We are adding to our comprehensive line up of jazz, tap, ballet, hip-hop, highland, musical theatre, and pointe, more choices of classes for our adults in both recreational and competitive streams. Also making a debut will be a belly dancing class on Monday nights for adults. We extend our welcome to all dancers, including new students, returning students, and novice students. Tr avelling to the new studio is as easy as a two-step. Ei- ther follow Bayly through the lights and exit right into the parking lot, or travel south on Brock, left on Bayly and exit right into the parking lot. Access from Ajax, Whitby, and Oshawa is just as simple. Jacqueline’s School of Dance has been located at the Bay Ridges Plaza for the last nine years and it has been a won- derful experience.

Our syllabus has been created with the physical and emotional development of the child in mind. That’s why it is vital that children should attend the right dance class at the right age! For our three- to four-year olds we offer Creative Dance; a positive, en- ergetic fi rst dance experience. Boys and girls alike enjoy and benefi t from the freedom and expression of movement. While there is a structure to each class, it is at the same time improvisational and interactive. All classes are taught by director Terri Robitaille (BFA), who specializes in creative dance and was trained by some of the fi nest modern creative dance teachers in the country. For our fi ve-year olds we of- fer an hour-long fast paced class called Dance Beginners. It is a combination class consisting of creative, ballet and jazz. Al- though technique is introduced at this time, the emphasis is still on fun. All classes also taught by Ter ri. For dancers six and up we offer 45- minute classes in ballet, tap and jazz. By this age dancers can accomplish a wide variety of steps within each discipline and successfully put them together into impressive dance rou- tines. We introduce hip hop at the age of seven and acrobatics and musical the- atre at the age of eight. By this age, we know the dancers are ready for these “branches” of dance and the experience will be a positive one. Competitive dance can be a wonder- ful part of a students “career”. When handled properly it teaches team work, dedication and good sports- manship. Our competitive team con- sists of dancers, parents and teachers who care about each other more than they care about winning. Our danc- ers never compete against each other - they support each other. Com- petitive dance can be a place where life long friendships and memories are made, and important life lessons are learned. To fi nd out more about The Dance Experience please call Terri at 905-686-8335 or visit our website at www.danceexperience.ca. The right dance class at the right age The Dance Experience believes in providing a positive dance experience for every student and parent. If students leave the studio happy and fulfi lled week after week, year after year, they will not only be well trained dancers, but well adjusted, joyful and confi dent individuals. 2006 Ajax Pickering Fall Registration • Advertising Feature durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 30 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 20, 2006 BALLET - JAZZ - TAP - POINTE - CREATIVE - HIP HOP - MUSICAL THEATRE - ACROBALLET - JAZZ - TAP - POINTE - CREATIVE - HIP HOP - MUSICAL THEATRE - ACRO • AGES 3 TO ADULT • BEGINNERS TO ADVANCED • MALE & FEMALE • GREAT PRICES • SPRUNG FLOOR FOR A POSITIVE DANCE EXPERIENCE CALLCALL TERRI AT 905-686-8335TERRI AT 905-686-8335 682 MONARCH AVE.

With the moving away from values where God is central, prayer is essential, and the command- ments are the standard of morality, Adelfi ha’s has become an alternative for every parent who desires a Christian environment for their children’s educa- tion. OUR PHILOSOPHY Adelfi ha’s Christian Academy seeks to provide a positive learning environment for each child. Our foundation stems from the knowledge that “we learn through God’s love.” We believe that children are a gift from God; one of the greatest demonstration of His love towards us. Fully qualifi ed educators and their assistants have chosen this fi eld because they believe they can make a difference in the education and development of each child. Staff expose children to situation that simulate:Curiosity, initiative and independence as he/she interacts with God’s world. “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.” Phi- lippians 4:13 Self-esteem and self-discipline being made in the image of God. “For God hath not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 Interaction with and respect for all of God’s cre- ation. “Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 2:4-5 Decision-making capabilities and moral ob- ligations. “For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the fl esh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is ful- fi lled in one word, even in this; Thou shall love thy neighbour as thy self.” Galatians 5:13-14 Fine and Gross Motor Skills. “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatso- ever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” 1 Corin- thians 10:31 The responsibility of raising children in the fear and admonition of the Lord, is given to parents by God (Deu. 6; Eph. 6). Our desire at Adelfi ha’s is to function as an extension of the home, assisting parents in fulfi lling their God ordained responsi- bilities. Adelfi ha’s has two locations to serve your chil- dren. Our newest location in Pickering serves preschool through to Grade 3, with expansion to Grade 8 in the near future. The founding school, located in Toronto, also provides instruction from preschool to Grade 8. With a class ratio of 16:1, and some classes are even smaller, each class provides your child with the individual attention often lacking in the public school system. Our academic program is an en- riched curriculum with students working well be- yond their public school peers at the same grade level. We are here for the benefi t of your children. We concentrate on educating the whole person; spirit, mind and body. If you are looking for excellence in education, choose Adelfi ha’s. Visit our website at www.adelfi has.com to learn more, or contact our Principal, J. James at 416 633-5440. Building a solid foundation Founded in 1994, Adelfi ha’s Christian Academy is a Christ-centred academic institution. A dream of founder and administrator, Pastor Rosenda James, Adelfi ha means a “monument of God’s Love”. We “are not ashamed of the Gospel” (Romans 1:16), as such, Adelfi ha’s mission is to train and educate children to understand life as stated in God’s word. Contact Principal J.

On fi rst im- pression, it looks like an old home in the middle of the Village. But when you en- ter the building and spend a moment of your time you immediately realize what Durham Music has to offer. With over 1,400 students and 50 musi- cal instructors, Durham Music has been producing wonderful sounds in the Ajax area since 1987 and has 22 teaching stu- dio’s including their second location at 92 Church Street south. Teaching has made Durham Music the largest private music school in the area and also in Ontario. There are a wide variety of musical lessons that are offered including guitar, piano, drums, violins, all woodwind instruments and singing. Guitar instructors Ray Hickey Jr., Scott Holyk, and Aaron Bales are pleased to teach with only the fi nest equipment such as Fender, Yamaha, Roland and Gibson. The staff and instructors at Durham Music would like to express their com- plete gratitude to the Durham Region for voting them number one for two 2005 Reader’s Choice Awards in the catego- ries of Musical Instruction and Musical Instrument Store. They have been past winners of these awards and many others, so it comes as no surprise that they’ve won again for their excellence in providing Durham with musical instruction.

Oshawa incident occurred in July along bike path DURHAM — Police are asking for help in find- ing a man wanted for sexually assaulting a woman in Oshawa earlier this summer. The assault occurred on the morning of July 26 while the young woman was walking along the bike path near Simcoe Street and Hwy. 401. Police say the man spoke briefly to the victim before forcing her into the bushes where she was then sexually assaulted. He is described as five-feet tall, scruffy look- ing, with a heavy-build. He has long curly brown hair, a big round nose and acne. He was wearing a black cap, white T-shirt, black shorts and white running shoes. A composite sketch of the man is available at www.drps.ca.

Pickering girls show Spirit in Minnesota Sports briefs AUGUST 20, 2006 [ Fastball ] League set for all-star games PICKERING — The best of the Pickering Recreational Fastball Asso- ciation will be on display at its annual all-star games later this month. For more than 20 years, the Pickering Recreational Fastball Asso- ciation (PRFA) has provided a means for men and women over the age of 18 years to continue play- ing high-calibre fastball into their adult years. This year, the PRFA is thriving, with nine men’s and seven women’s teams, thanks to the efforts of an enthusias- tic executive, headed by president Jay Davis. Games are played throughout the week on the fields at the Dun- moore and Hydro parks. To showcase the talent of the league’s men and women players, PRFA will host an All-Star Day on Saturday, Aug. 26 at Dunmoore Park’s north diamond at the foot of Whites Road. This is the second annual all- star game for the men and the first for the women. The women’s all-star game starts at 12:30 p.m. and the men’s all-star contest is at 4 p.m. For more infor- mation about the league, log on at www.pickeringfastball.ca. [ Dragon boat ] Local paddlers are golden DURHAM — Four Durham Region residents brought home gold from the Dragon Boat Club Crew World Championships in Toronto last week. Double gold, actually. Karen Hillier and Joan McGrog- gan of Oshawa, Elizabeth Bateman of Hampton and Rosemary Aiken of Pickering were part of the Sunwing Flyers Grand Dragon women’s team that finished first in the 200-metre and 500m races at the event. The event drew more than 100 teams and 3,700 competitors from 12 countries taking part in numerous divisions. The team has kept busy of late, also participating in Welland and finishing a close second in both the 200m and 500m races. That event was a qualifier for the Nations Cham- pionship in September, 2007 at Syd- ney, Australia. The 25-member team is com- prised of women aged 50 and over and has been practising since last September. All four of the local women are also breast cancer survivors. Under-13s bring back prestigious Schwan’s USA Cup PICKERING — The Pickering Spirit girls’ under-13 rep soccer team captured the title at one of the largest and most prestigious tournaments in North America. The Spirit claimed the trophy at the 2006 Schwan’s USA Cup recently. The tournament draws teams from all over the world. The Spirit dominated the tour- nament from beginning to end, winning all six of its games and outscoring its opponents 21-0. The Pickering Spirit and the WBL Heat from Minnesota, two undefeated teams, battled it out in the final game. Pickering took the lead on goals by Brittany Foerster, Michelle Durante and Ta via Anderson and held on for a well-deserved, tough 3-0 victory. The semifinal game against Te am Chicago Wildcats, the undefeated state champions from Illinois, saw both teams settle down to a very posses- sion-minded game, with neither team capitalizing on scoring opportunities in the first half. The second half was more wide open with both teams striking well and Pickering hitting posts twice. Pickering started to domi- nate with accurate passing. This resulted in Pickering scoring its first goal from Bianca Munch, a well-placed shot outside the goal area. The second goal came from a cross into the box, met by Ni- cole Mayers, who headed the ball into the top right hand corner of the net. The Spirit won 2-0. Pickering opened the tourna- ment by winning all three games by the same 4-0 score, over the PSA Pumas from Minnesota, Eau Claire United Blitz from Wiscon- sin, and NLSC Stars from Min- nesota. The Spirit rounded out qualify- ing play with a quarter-final win over the Blaine Bobcats of Min- nesota. Scoring Pickering goals were Brittany Foerster with two, Sonia Belley and Haley Henderson with one apiece. Te am members are team cap- tain Haley Henderson, Connie Cancellara, Sydney Cornett, Kelsey Bull, Alex Maxwell, Linzee Exner, Chrysalene Teo, Shannon Misketis, Ashley Tait, Brittany Foerster, Michelle Durante, Tavia Anderson, Madison Marmina, Bianca Munch, Nicole Mayers, Sarah Forde and Sonia Belley. Bert Laing coaches the team, assisted by Vince Teo. The man- ager is Nina Cancellara with Theresa Henderson serving as trainer. Players with the Pickering Spirit girls’ under-13 rep soccer team celebrate after bringing home the championship trophy for their division from the Schwan’s USA Cup international soccer tournament in Blaine, Minnesota re- cently.
