Police have not yet determined the identity or gender of the adult body found in the vehicle around 1 a.m. on Granite Court in the industrial area of Whites Road - Hwy. 401, said Homicide boss J.J. Allan. The incident is deemed a suspi- cious death at this point, Detec- tive-Sergeant Allan said. “We don’t know what we have right at this second,” he said. “We got called to a (vehicle) fire and there was a deceased in the car.” Police are able to begin their investigation by tracing the vehi- cle and its licence plates, Det.-Sgt. Allan said. “We’ve got some leads that way,” he said. The SUV was sent to the Centre for Forensic Sci- ences in Toronto for examination. Durham police spokesman Dave Selby said that while the death has been deemed suspicious, more in- vestigation is necessary to deter- mine if foul play was involved. The body was found after flames had been extinguished, he said. “It started out as a car fire,” Mr. Selby said. “The initial report is that the car was fully engulfed when emergency services arrived.” The coroner has been called in to help determine cause of death, Mr. Selby said. The investigation continues. Body found in burned-out SUV Meet Durham’s new police chief By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The Durham Re- gional Police Service has looked to its own ranks in appointing a new chief, naming 25-year veteran Mike Ewles top cop. Chief Designate Ewles, who has served as deputy chief of opera- tional support since last June, was greeted with extended applause when introduced to a room full of reporters, cops and other observ- ers Wednesday morning in Whitby. He is the first chief to be appointed from within the ranks of the ser- vice since Trevor McCagherty was named chief in 1993. “I understand the culture of this organization very well,” said Chief Designate Ewles, who in 25 years with Durham has served in a va- riety of capacities. “I have been immersed in the culture. “I know what the front-line of- ficers are going through.” Among the priorities cited by the new chief are youth justice is- sues, prevention and response to domestic violence and effectively dealing with people with mental health concerns. Representing the Durham Regional Police Association at We dnesday morning’s announce- ment was vice-president Dave Robinson, who vowed to work with the new chief on a variety of is- sues. “I think they picked a good man,” Mr. Robinson said. “He’s got the experience. He’s got the vision the board obviously was looking for.” Mr. Robinson said that while rank and file cops appreciate the appointment of a chief who’s risen through the ranks of their organi- zation, it’s not the sole quality they seek in a new leader. “What the whole membership wants is the best candidate,” Mr. Robinson said. The new chief, 46, was born in Scarborough and raised in Oshawa. He’s spent his policing career with Durham, working in every com- munity in the region and serving in tactical support, the Duty Inspec- tor’s office, Criminal Investigations Branch and employee services. He was promoted to the rank of In- Tw enty-five year veteran Mike Ew les is now top cop ✦ See Ewles, Page 4 Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Mike Ewles is the new chief of the Durham Regional Police Service.

Mary Dunlop, the executive director for Durham Youth Housing and Support Ser- vices, said the reality is youths are leaving because of physical, sexual or psychological abuse, or because of substance abuse in the family. “It’s a myth they leave home because the rules are too strict. Those kids go home after a couple of days,” Ms. Dunlop told Ajax coun- cillors on Monday. “There are homeless youth in Durham Re- gion. We don’t see them because homeless youth look the same as all youths,” she said, adding most homeless youth in Durham “are couch surfing.” The reasons a youth leaves home is “a troubled childhood experience and family conflict,” she stated. “The common denomi- nator is a premature departure from home or family.” Ms. Dunlop and Dave Bourgeois, the trea- surer for the youth housing group, spoke to council about the group’s efforts to establish a youth shelter in Durham. Currently, there is no shelter for homeless youth in the Region. Peel Region has three youth shelters with a total of 68 beds, while York Region has two shelters and 20 beds, and Peterborough has one shelter with 39 beds. More than 300 youths, between the ages of 16 and 24, stayed at adult facilities last year, she noted. “They cannot provide services aimed at youth,” she stated. With the closing of the YWCA shelter, the Muslim Welfare Centre in Whitby is the only option for female, she pointed out. A youth emergency shelter closed in Octo- ber of 2003. Following that, a forum was set up to address the problem, she stated. A temporary shelter, called Out of the Cold, Into the Warmth, was opened in 2004 and closed the following year. “The board has worked extremely hard, so that when the shelter gets up and running, it will stay up and running,” Ms. Dunlop stated. “Youth are very much involved in decisions that will help the shelter down the road. We want to make the shelter welcome and that youth will want to come.” Since work on establishing a shelter began, the board has been incorporated, a web- site developed and on-line at durhamyouth. com, an executive director hired and funding sought. “We have a strong foundation, so when the shelter opens, everything will be set to go.” The goal this year is to open a 10-bed emer- gency shelter for youths 16 to 24 years, Ms. Dunlop said. Beyond that, the goal is a 50-bed transi- tional housing facility and 10 beds of sup- portive housing. There will also be counselling on a variety of issues, as well as education help. “We strongly believe that meeting the needs of homeless and at-risk youth is a community challenge,” Mr. Bourgeois said. “We’re going to bring something to the community. It’s a challenge; it’s what we’re aiming for.” The group has secured a $75,000 grant from the Trillium Foundation, and is nego- tiating a per diem rate of about $39 with the Region. The group also has to fundraise just over $134,000, but Mr. Bourgeois said, “We’re well on track to achieving our goal. “We’re looking for a facility at this time,” he said. “We’re trying to find a facility in the south. It hasn’t been an easy process. There’s not a lot of places where we meet the zoning.” When asked what the organization sought from Ajax council, Mr. Bourgeois said, “Moral support,” along with help finding a location. Also, if the group “runs into road blocks, you can help us to get through them.” Wards 3 and 4 Regional Councillor Colleen Jordan said, “Hopefully, we will see a youth shelter in Durham Region. It’s our youths who are suffering.” 4 72412 60000 8 DURHAM REGION For Sun Safety information, visit www.region.durham.on.ca or call Durham Health Connection Line at 1-800-841-2729 or 905-666-6241 Take Care...

Chief Designate Ewles replaces Vernon White, a highly-touted candidate who was sworn is as chief of Durham police in the fall of 2005. He shocked the commu- nity and the service by an- nouncing in February his intention to vacate the post to assume the role of chief of the Ottawa police service. Mr. White served just over a year and a half in Durham. Mr. Clayton said the board launched a nation- wide search for a new chief, whittling candidates to a short list of 10. Among the insiders con- sidered for the job was Dur- ham Deputy Chief Chuck Mercier, who was present for Wednesday’s announce- ment but did not speak during the ceremony. Chief Designate Ewles said he’s talked with Deputy Chief Mercier and received a vote of support. The new chief said he doesn’t know the deputy’s intentions for the future. “He remains com- mitted to the team,” Chief Designate Ewles said. “I appreciate his needing some time to think things through.” The new chief took his oath of office fol- lowing the announcement. A tentative date of June 22 has been set for an official swearing in ceremony. durhamregion.comP PAGE 4 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 1, 2007 www.durhamregionwaste.ca WHEREITBELONGSWHEREITBELONGS PUTFOODWASTEPUTFOODWASTE WE’VE GOT YOUR SIZE Sizes 4-15 Widths AA-EEE PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING Bid to buy freedom rejected by judge Ew les called a ‘true leader in every sense of the word’ Ajax woman jailed until sentencing By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A last-min- ute pledge to pay restitution to a man she’d bilked of his life savings failed to buy an Ajax fraud artist her free- dom Thursday. Videshari Demattos trem- bled and wept as a judge ordered her taken into cus- tody while she awaits the outcome of her sentenc- ing hearing next week. The woman had been free on bail since pleading guilty to defrauding an Ajax man in a mortgage fraud scheme several years ago. Some term of custody is all but certain for the former mortgage broker; what’s in question is whether Supe- rior Court Justice Robert Clark imposes house arrest or real jail time. And that decision will hinge upon whether or not Ms. Demattos manages to come up with the remain- ing $120,000 she owes her victim, who was defrauded of more than $300,000 in a phoney second mortgage scam five years ago. Crown prosecutor Mitch- ell Flagg said in the absence of immediate restitution, Ms. Demattos ought to be jailed for at least a year; in the event she repays her victim, she deserves strict house arrest for up to 18 months, Mr. Flagg said. “This was a classic and deliberate take-the-money- and-run scheme,” Mr. Flagg told the judge. “It was pred- atory, it was sophisticated and it was cunning.” Ms. Demattos was work- ing as a mortgage broker in Ajax when the victim was introduced to her in the spring of 2002. She prom- ised the man a 20 per cent return on financing he put up for homeowners seeking short-term second mort- gages. The victim said he en- tered into five transactions, ranging from $26,000 to more than $80,000, over the next several months and was supplied documenta- tion on the properties sup- posedly mortgaged. The victim did receive some cheques but became suspicious when they began to bounce. He soon learned the documentation he’d been given was forged and there were no mortgages held on any properties. Ms. Demattos arrived at the Whitby courthouse Thursday seeking a week- long adjournment prior to a sentence being passed, say- ing through her lawyer she wanted to make full restitu- tion before being given her penalty. But when Justice Clark decided she ought to spend that week in custody Ms. Demattos attempted to accelerate the repayment plan, telling the judge she had a friend who could liq- uidate assets and show up in Whitby with a certified cheque for $120,000 to hand over to the victim that very day. The judge adjourned court for about an hour and a half, but eventually reject- ed Ms. Demattos’s attempt to avoid jail. He ordered her held in custody until a sentence is imposed next Thursday. DURHAM — The Catholic school board is cancelling its design and technology elementary program. The program, which trustees previously ap- proved suspending for one year, is being cancelled to continue with other locally developed options, accord- ing to a staff report received and filed by the board at its May 28 meeting. The annual cost to the board to operate the two Design and Technol- ogy Centres was $265,000. Through it, Grade 7 and 8 students were transported to the centres for four days of programming per year. In 2007/2008, each sec- ondary school will have committees in place to sup- port expanding programs with pathways to post-sec- ondary and initiatives such as The Real Game for Grade 7 and 8 will continue. Pickering Trustee Jim McCafferty asked what hap- pened with the program’s equipment. Patricia Man- son, director of education, said right now it’s just sitting there. “What would be the pro- cess with that equipment because it is very expensive,” said Whitby Trustee Mary Ann Martin, chairwoman of the board. “Would we put it up for sale?” Ms. Manson said the board will have a process to determine how useful the equipment is and if it can be used in other schools.

I started this work week tired as I was up early on Saturday and Sunday, hunt- ing for treasures. Last Saturday was a banner day for sales in Ajax and Pickering and I was up at 7 a.m. to have a coffee and check the News Advertiser classified listings. Four hours later I returned home with a cool Art Deco night table and a few other things. Later on Saturday, my buddy called to tell me about a contents sale on his parents’ street in East York. My friend had purchased an antique, walnut dining room table with six chairs and a match- ing china cabinet. “I think you had better get down here tomorrow,” he said, knowing my pen- chant for old things, especially old furni- ture. That was all I needed to hear and I was knocking on his door at 7:30 a.m. There was no one at the home when we went by, so we cruised the neighbourhood for sales. Given it was drizzly, the pickings were slim. We saw a contents sale sign and pulled up at a house where another sign read, “everything free.” Knick-knacks were strewn all over the front lawn and driveway. The people holding the sale were obviously still in bed. We looked around and didn’t see anything worth taking. Our next stop was at a sale held by two women, I’m guessing from somewhere in the former Yugoslavia. “Have you had breakfast?” one said, adding the bread was almost ready. They had a nice, round wooden table, but other than that, nothing very good. I did pick up a bundle of tea spoons, asked the price and was told $1. I forked over a loonie and we were on our way when the second woman stopped us. “Did you pay for the spoons?” she asked. “Yes I did,” I replied. “They’re $1 each,” she said. Eleven dollars for 11 stainless steal spoons was a bit much for me and I re- turned them. When we finally made it to our planned destination, I was disappointed to see that the antiques all had stickers on them, “Not for sale.” There was a beauti- ful dresser I wanted badly, but couldn’t persuade the seller to part with it. Darn. My friend told me a funny story from when he was at the sale the day be- fore. An older gentleman approached the house, leaned his cane against the stairs, and went in to look around. When he came back out, they’d sold his cane for a dollar! Someone had to race down the street to get it back. Mike Ruta’s column appears every third Friday. E-mail mruta@durhamregion. com. Mike Ruta news editor LETTER TO THE EDITOR Incineration can be done cleanly To the editor: Several of your readers have expressed concerns about the incineration of trash. I would have some sympathy for these people if their concerns were derived from personal experi- ence or actual facts. They aren’t. I have been to various European countries three times in eight years. Last summer, my wife and I were in nine coun- tries in central and eastern Europe. On the Eurocity train, backpacking across Switzerland, we saw two large incin- erators that were as environmentally friendly as one can get. They emitted NO pollutants because all wastes are burned within the incinerator. And, for the piece-de-resistance, these plants provide power for several thousand homes within the canton. No one can accuse the Swiss of being environ- mentally unfriendly since Switzerland is one of the cleanest countries in the world with some of the purest air quality. So, people like Pat Irwin Lycett should take a close look at what other countries are doing to combat pollution. It is amazing what one can see backpacking through countries (in case Pat should think that backpacking is for young people, my wife is 59 and I am 63.) J. Beverly Ewen Ajax Clarington decisions impact Ajax, Pickering Clarington councillors attempted to send a message to the Region Monday night by refusing to allow Regional Chairman Roger Anderson to speak about the pro- posed energy-from-waste plant. The issue came up as council was discussing what costs would be upfronted by the Region. Clarington staff had rec- ommended an extensive peer review of all materials on the proposed project so far with the Region agreeing to pay “all reasonable costs” up to $200,000. Anything beyond $200,000 would be subject to Regional council approval. Staff has estimated the cost of the review at about $500,000. As a result, the Region would have to approve the additional $300,000. Sounds like that’s a question a representative from the Region could answer. Who better to answer it than the Regional chairman himself? No answers were forthcoming however, because the councillors blocked him from address- ing council. Mr. Anderson needed support from council in order to speak because he missed the deadline to sign on as a delegation. In a rare move local councillors Gord Robinson, Adrian Foster, Ron Hooper and Willie Woo denied his re- quest. Why? According to Coun. Robinson the four of them feel they’re being limited in the questions that can be asked. However, if they’d allowed Mr. Anderson to address coun- cil they would have been able to ask him any questions they wanted regarding EFW. How could that be limiting them? Denying Mr. Anderson the opportunity to speak about the proposed facility was an embarrassment and a missed oppor- tunity. This issue needs open dialogue in order for the Region to be able to make a decision as to whether it is a willing host for this proposed incinerator. What happened Monday night was anything but open. Mr. Anderson came to council attempting to help. But Clarington councillors sent the message they don’t need the Region’s help. Regional representatives in Ajax and Pickering should forward their concerns about the way the chairman was treated to their Clarington counterparts. They should re- mind them Clarington is one municipality in a large area and what Clarington councillors do during the next few months on the issue of waste will impact all Durham residents. By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — One happy animal is living under the Moore family’s deck. A raccoon has taken up res- idency at Julie Moore’s home bordering the picturesque Greenbelt in north Oshawa. But, it wasn’t the Greenbelt, but the green bin that attract- ed the nocturnal critter. “He’s a happy little guy right now,” Ms. Moore said. “He has lots to eat.” The raccoon is a sly little bugger, Ms. Moore said, and as much as they don’t mind having him around, they do mind the mess he makes ran- sacking the green bin for the food inside. “He took his nails and chipped away at the top of the green bin until he made a hole,” Ms. Moore explained. “Now he can just reach his arm in and get the food.” She bought a new green bin and they tried putting a brick on top of it, but the raccoon just tips it over. Her neighbours even say they have seen the critter undo the latch. Ms. Moore said she knows it would be best to keep the bin inside, but they don’t have a garage and their shed is located down a long flight of stairs. Although she said she is getting pretty sick of picking organic waste up off her deck on a regular basis, Ms. Moore admitted when a neighbour snapped some pictures of the raccoon im- mersing himself in the green bin she couldn’t help but be a little smitten with him. “We were pretty upset with him, but when my neigh- bours showed me the pic- tures I thought, ‘he’s so cute, he looks like a storybook ani- mal’,” Ms. Moore said. Although the Region of Durham, which implement- ed the green bin program in Ju ly 2006, doesn’t get a lot of complaints about raccoons or other animals breaking into green bins, said Kath- erine Ross-Perron, a waste management technician, she is aware it can be a problem and a nuisance to residents. “The green bins are a very durable and strong product with a lockable lid and they are designed to keep animals out,” she said. “But raccoons are smart enough to get into anything.” The bin was designed to be as raccoon proof as possible, but Ms. Ross-Perron did offer some tips to keep animals out. “All the bins are pretty much the same in terms of locking mechanisms,” she said. “If a raccoon is going to get in they are going to get in, but there are steps we can take to distract them.” First and foremost, Ms. Ross-Perron said keeping the bin in a shed or garage is the best option. For those without one she advises keeping the bin away from stairs, decks, walls or railings so that ani- mals don’t have leverage to get into them. Make sure the latch is closed tightly or Ms. Ross-Perron suggests using a bungee cord or placing a brick on top of the bin. Finally she recommends sprinkling a strong smelling biodegradable detergent or vinegar on the green bin so that animals don’t get a whiff of food smells. “Just keep in mind that rac- coons have always been an issue, even before the green bin,” she said. “Just keep managing this issue as you always did with your regular garbage collection.” PICKERING 2215 Brock Rd.

The $40 ticket to Starry Nights includes a three-course meal with proceeds from this fourth annual fundraising event to benefit YWCA Durham’s Y’s WISH (Women in Safe Housing) Shelter. The event will be hosted by Vanessa Murphy from 94.9 The Rock, and feature a live auction with the help of local auctioneer Randy Potter, silent auction, DJ dancing, door prizes and raffle draws. Participants will be able to bid on great prizes including Disney Hopper Passes, VIA Rail Tickets, high value sporting event tickets, a box for an event at the GM Centre, furniture and spa packages. “This event has grown in leaps and bounds.

Tim Hortons hosts its an- nual Camp Day on June 6, the one day a year where 100 per cent of the com- pany’s coffee sales across North America are donated to The Tim Horton Chil- dren’s Foundation. Each store spends weeks brewing up countless fun activities and events for Camp Day with proceeds also going towards the Foundation. Last year, more than $7.2 million was raised and the goal this year is to surpass that amount. “The success of Camp Day would not be possible without the overwhelming support from our custom- ers and the donation of Tim Hortons store owners and staff,” says Don Schroeder, president of the foundation. The Tim Horton Chil- dren’s Foundation is a non- profit organization that of- fers a camping experience to children whose families would not otherwise be able to afford it. More than 12,000 children are going to attend the foundation’s camps this year partici- pating in programs that build self confidence, self esteem and leadership.

Lessons taught in how to be a smarter consumer By Jason Chamberlain Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — Local residents got some educa- tion to go with their shop- ping on Saturday. For the second consec- utive year, the Pickering To wn Centre teamed up with the City of Pickering to present Sustainable Pickering Day. Representatives from the City as well as local schools and environmen- tal organizations were on hand to provide shoppers with information on how they can help create a cleaner and more sustain- able environment in the community. “Sustainability is about meeting our needs with- out compromising the fu- ture generation’s ability to meet their own needs,” said Shawna Mutton, co- ordinator of community sustainability for the city. The program has five objectives, all of which were represented with in- formation booths where people could learn more. The objectives -- healthy society, healthy economy, healthy environment, re- sponsible consumption and responsible develop- ment -- all tie in to the ultimate goal of making Pickering a better place socially, economically and environmentally. “We want them to work w ith us towards a more sustainable community. We have to conserve. If we can make the environment healthier, it will be better socially. And economi- cally, it will bring more residents and businesses to our community,” said Ms. Mutton. L orna Murphy, market- ing director for the mall, was happy to be involved w ith the initiative. “We’re really proud to be a part of this event. We’re learning quite a bit about what we can do to improve.” The mall got in on the act as well, offering shoppers a reusable shopping bag in exchange for 25 plastic bags, as well as promoting a contest for children and teens to draw a design for a new reusable bag. The contest wasn’t the only interactive element of the day. Guests learned how to take care of their lawn with environment- friendly alterna- tives to pesti- cides. Children were offered the opportunity to plant and take home their own sunflower and students from Dunbarton High School were on hand to show examples of environ- mentally friendly lunches, hair products and cloth- ing. Mona Mousa, a Grade 12 student at Dunbarton, was on hand to help with the display. “We do a lot when it comes to the en- vironment,” said Mona of her school. “We want to educate people on responsible consumption through clothing, how you shop, how you live and how you eat.” Healthy living even extends to body and hair care products and there are environmentally con- scious choices for those as well. “When you think about it, it’s going down the drain, it’s going into the lakes, out into your world. When it’s environmentally friendly you’re not going to get the chemicals or the pollution.” The event was well-at- tended and the message is sinking in, according to Chantal Whitaker, co-or- dinator of environmental awareness programs for the City. “Their concern and awareness about environ- mental issues is height- ened and they ask about what else they can be doing,” said Ms. Whitaker. As for the message the City is trying to convey, it’s simple. “There are so many small changes that will have a really big impact on the sustainability of our community, such as choosing healthy lawn care practices, choosing to use reusable bags instead of plastic bags, not idling their vehicles and taking public transit,” she said. Ms. Mutton agrees. “We can all make a difference and it doesn’t take much. If everyone does their part, we can make our commu- nity more sustainable.” THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 1, 2007 PAGE 13 A/Pdurhamregion.com NO YER TOSSER.

In addition to testing water in creeks, marshes and Lake Ontar- io, samples will also be collected from storm sewers that discharge directly into the lake, said Gary Bowen of the TRC. It’s the second summer of water quality testing, which has been pushed by Ajax politicians looking for answers as to why Ajax beaches have been closed to swimmers for two years. Collecting samples began in April and continues until Octo- ber, Mr. Bowen said. The water will be tested for such items as E.coli, nutrients and metals. Mr. Bowen told Ajax council- lors on Monday that this summer, more attention will be paid to getting samples after rain storms. “The focus will really be on rain storm events.” TRCA staff have trained Ajax operations crews on how to col- lect samples, Mr. Bowen said, adding samples will be collected from 16 locations, mostly during 10 rain storms. The aim of the study is to “un- derstand the factors that are af- fecting water quality in the lake,” he stated. Another aim is to find the source of the pollutants, he added. A final report will be ready by the late fall of this year, he noted. “We hope the results will bring new priorities,” he said, such as where to focus efforts on improv- ing water quality. Wa rd 3 local Councillor Joanne Dies noted the beaches in Ajax have been closed “100 per cent of the time for two summers.” Some water sampling will be done at the mouth of the out- fall pipe from the Durham-York water pollution control plant, Mr. Bowen said. The sand along the beach is also being tested, he added. “There’s fairly significant bacterial life liv- ing in the sand.” The testing “isn’t just a one- year study. It’s what you need to do on a long-term basis,” he noted. Ward 4 local Councillor Pat Brown asked if the study would result in “good water quality and the added benefit of using our beach.” The hope is the testing will “lead to solutions to water qual- ity,” he said. www.liquidationworld.com Wome n’s De nim Shorts Assorted styles.

Three Senegal parrots were found last week on the stoop of the Humane Society in south Oshawa. The staff found the birds in small, dirty cages with obvi- ous signs of neglect. Debby Houghton from the Animal Cruelty Investiga- tion Department, says parrots are popular pets in Durham and many people care for them quite well but, in this case, she’s certain some- thing went wrong. “There’s obviously main- tenance involved in caring for birds and I am con- cerned about the conditions these birds were kept in.” The feet of all three birds are splayed out meaning they can’t walk or perch properly. Ms. Houghton says these injuries indicate they were kept in cramped, inappropriate enclosures. The birds are also showing signs of a poor diet, which leads Ms. Houghton to be- lieve there may have been problems with the food they were being provided. The beak of one of the birds is so deformed that instead of looking like a normal beak it actually is about an inch longer and curves upward. Ms. Houghton says abuse and neglect occurs more than might be expected. “Unfortunately we do have that happen by irre- sponsible pet owners,” she said. “For whatever reason they take the responsibility in the first place but then they just come down here and drop a de- fenceless animal tied to our door.” Last year alone the animal cruelty investigation team answered more than 900 animal cruelty calls. Her department is responsible for issuing orders and laying criminal charges when war- ranted. At the moment, the Hu- mane Society is extremely full. The facility normally houses 80 cats but is cur- rently home to about 130. While it’s true many of the of animals at the shelter, like the three parrots, have been abandoned by their own- ers, Ms. Houghton encour- ages people to give them a chance. “Just because some of the animals have been abused and neglected doesn’t mean they’re not lovely pets, because they re- ally are.” Anyone who knows anything about the parrots is encouraged to call the investigation department of the Humane Society of Durham Region at 905-433- 2022 ext. 1. www.sklargallery.com Exceptional Warranty Superior Construction Fast Delivery life • style • solutions OSHAWA 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 905-723-4561 Hours: Mon.• Tues.• Wed. 10-6, Thurs.• Fri. 10-9, Sat. 10-6, Sun.11-5 Durham’s Newest & Largest Sklar Peppler Furnishings Store!

To about 20 people par- ticipating in the Pickering event, Superintendent Joe Hircock said he learned that during a Durham Directions project the Durham District School Board did a number of years ago. Over the next couple of weeks, the board is holding forums in Ajax, Oshawa, Whitby and north Durham to collect input on character education and create a new resource docu- ment available in January 2008. During the first forum, held May 23 in Dunbarton High School’s library, par- ticipants referred to a list of about 50 character attributes and prioritized their 10 most important. Afterwards, they broke into groups to com- pare answers. “My first one was self- confidence, do you have that one?” Shauna Simmonds, an Uxbridge resident, asked her group mate. “I had self-respect,” said Rick White, Dunbarton’s principal. Other words included honesty, integrity, hope, re- sponsibility, generosity, and compassion. To his list, Mr. White added the word purpose. He said it’s a huge one and those without it tend to drift in school, unable to make the connection to why it’s important. While talking with Whitby parent Bianca Sanchez, Mr. White said how much char- acter education a student comes to school with is like academics – some have more than others. During the session, one woman asked if anyone was investigating root causes of behaviour so they know how to move forward. Lisa Millar, superinten- dent of Pickering schools, said society has changed. “If you think of years ago, we had smaller communi- ties,” said Ms. Millar, and added neighbours would often give kids trouble for acting out. “We see changes in our family and in our culture and community,” said Ms. Millar. She said we need to find and hold onto common values because they are the cornerstone of society and the school system. The board is also col- lecting information from students and staff to use in the resource document. It will include: the top 10 at- tributes most commonly identified as important; 11 essential principles deemed crucial to a character edu- cation program; teacher templates, resource list for teaching character; and, a principal’s template for im- plementing the 11 essential characteristics. A character education committee will also be created, with rep- resentatives from all mu- nicipalities, to do character audits on each school and identify gaps and resources to fill them. The board’s new char- acter resource is also part of Ontario’s province-wide character education initia- tive. Ms. Millar said there are already character education initiatives occurring and she and Mr. Hircock will continue to improve and expand them. In an interview, Liz Wat- son, chairwoman of Dun- barton’s school community council, said she attended the forum to see what di- rection the school board is going. “A lso I have three sons and have personally been involved in a few incidents,” she said, and added she also works with high risk kids in Toronto. “To know there are things even as parents we can do to support the school staff, I think it’s important,” said Ms. Watson. She said she really en- joyed the forum event and wants to stay involved in the character development to help where she can.

Aj ax library computer lab a studying option for students By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — East Gwillimbury’s recent decision not to be a will- ing host for the proposed York- Durham incinerator won’t impede the process just yet, says Durham Region’s commissioner of works. “It is unfortunate that East Gwil- limbury has chosen not to be a willing host at this time,” Cliff Curtis says. “But, we will continue with the terms of reference for the environmental assessment (EA).” East Gwillimbury councillors voted unanimously on May 22 to back a resolution opposing the site. The York Region community is one of five sites identified for a proposed energy-from-waste fa- cility. The East Gwillimbury site, on Garfield Wright Drive, will re- main on the list throughout the EA process, according to Mr. Curtis. “This doesn’t take it off the table; we would just have some work to do with the host municipality if it ends up being East Gwillimbury,” he said. “It is always easier if we can work with the host municipal- ity. We prefer to, but at the end of the day the regions have the right to site a municipal facility where they need to be.” The property is in the provin- cially protected Greenbelt and adjacent to the Black River. But, Mr. Curtis explained it is a vacant parcel of land in an established in- dustrial park. “The Greenbelt was laid on top of it,” he said. “There is also a subdivision and existing de- velopment within the Greenbelt.” On the heals of the East Gwil- limbury resolution, Oshawa Re- gional councillor Brian Nicholson is poised to introduce a motion at his council Monday. The motion says the residents of Oshawa won’t be the willing recipient of the prevailing winds with dioxin, furans, nanoparticles and other noxious and poisonous materials from an incinerator. “We were talking about doing it at some point, but now that East Gwillimbury has gone first, it is timely that we bring it up,” Coun. Nicholson said. It also urges Clarington to fol- low East Gwillimbury and publicly state whether or not they will be a willing host. Finally, it asks the Re- gion to go on record as to whether or not it will impose an incinerator on an unwilling host community. “They are reasonable motions,” Coun. Nicholson said. “We are not saying ‘stop the process’. We are asking the Region to be reason- able.” Durham and York regions have partnered to undertake an environmental study designed to investigate alternative methods to manage their garbage. Energy from waste was identified as the preferred alternative and possible sites, most of them in Clarington, have been selected. The regions are currently undergoing the en- vironmental assessment to deter- mine the preferred facility site. *FreeTransfer Offer is applicable to new Caribbean and Europe bookings only made with Encore Cruises between June 2 and June 30, 2007.

MedicAlert’s new No Child Without program launched on May 24 will eventually allow all el- ementary-aged school children with the public and Catho- lic school boards to become Medi- cAlert members for free until they turn 14. No Child Without fo- cuses on children because they have the most difficult time communicating medi- cal issues in the middle of a crisis. Each student with aller- gies will receive a Medi- cAlert bracelet or necklace custom-engraved with the child’s medical informa- tion, member ID and the MedicAlert 24-hour Emer- gency Hotline number. “I think it’s great that other people can have these (bracelets) for their allergies,” says MedicAlert member, Austin Roche. “If they’re having an asthma attack or an aller- gic reaction and they can’t say anything, someone can come by and see their medic alert bracelet and flip it over and read what they need to know.” Martin Kabat, president and CEO of the Canadian MedicAlert Foundation, says the program will have a big impact on the community. “The fact that a child won’t go into anaphylac- tic shock because he’ll be treated correctly means less bur- den on the hospitals, less lost time, less serious health problems and simply bet- ter general health care and safety for children.” “It’s long overdue,” says concerned parent Lisa Roche. “My kids have been wearing their MedicAlert bracelets since they were two... and I think this will make other parents who are able to take advantage of the program feel more comfortable when their kids leave for school in the morning.” No Child Without was developed in the spirit of Canadian medical care to help every child regard- less of their individual circumstances or finan- cial resources. The price of a MedicAlert member- ship used to be $550, but now thanks to the govern- ment, private individuals and businesses, there’s no charge. During June, Burbs Bis- tro and Bar at 1900 Dixie Rd. N., Pickering, is offer- ing a new “Summerlicious” menu to fundraise for the cause. They’ll donate $3 from each meal ordered to No Child Without. Kevin Brown, co-owner and chef of Burbs, became a part of the program after realizing his son could benefit from wearing a MedicAlert bracelet for his asthma. Mr. Brown says “as a parent, sometimes you need someone to come out with a wake up call and say this is what you need to be doing.” The eventual goal of Med- icAlert is to expand the pro- gram to all 10,000 elemen- tary schools in Canada.

Durham Region Transit hits lofty target after just 17 months By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Although Melissa Gibson wasn’t look- ing forward to heading to work in Toronto last Friday, being named one of Dur- ham Region Transit’s (DRT) 10 millionth riders bright- ened her day. Ms. Gibson, of Pickering, was one of 10 DRT passen- gers chosen at random to receive a prize pack in cele- bration of the service reach- ing 10 million passengers since amalgamation on Jan. 1, 2006. “In 17 months we are doing very well,” said Ted Galinis, DRT’s general man- ager. “We were hoping to hit it by this time but we didn’t know what the strike impact would be.” Each winner was given a DRT prize pack that con- tained a DRT mug, mag- nets, calculator, a pin and some free DRT ride tickets. According to Mr. Galinis, the increase in ridership is primarily attributed to the DRT and GO Transit one fare anywhere in Durham Region agreement, intro- duction of the U-Pass for Durham College and UOIT students, and a general in- crease in other passenger categories. Ridership in north Dur- ham is entirely new, due to the implementation of DRT Community Bus service in Brock, Uxbridge and Scu- gog. Ridership is only expect- ed to grow with the intro- duction of new services in the summer of 2007, Mr. Galinis said. In September a daily ser- vice from Port Perry and Ux- bridge to Durham College and UOIT begins. DRT could not be certain who was the actual ten mil- lionth passenger, so DRT representatives visited all eight municipalities and randomly chose a winning rider from each communi- ty. The winners were Karen Pickrell of Brock, Joe Ma- honey of Whitby, Wayne Morgan and Melissa Gibson of Pickering, Yvonne Pawa- roo of Ajax, Mary Anne Pring of Scugog, Vicki Sheridan of Uxbridge, Mardi Martin of Clarington, Valencta Wil- liams of Oshawa and Marie Ghazal from Courtice.

They want to fight these stereotypes in a positive way. “We are peace-loving human beings like the rest of Canada,” explains Mr. Rhaashivam. “At the end of the day we just want to be living our lives in a peaceful manner.” The group hopes that awareness will create dialogue between the Ca- nadian government and Tamil Eelam. They have set up a Facebook group on the Internet and it al- ready has more than 600 members who are contributing comments and words of encourage- ment to the young men. Some of these members plan to meet up with the group in Ottawa on June 11. June 11 marks “student uprising day” in Tamil Eelam. This is a day in which citizens of Ta mil Eelan pay respect to pupils who sacrificed their lives for the cause of obtaining a free and just Tamil Eelam, a battle which is still ongoing. The group hopes to meet with Prime Min- ister Stephen Harper to get their is- sues across.

A few recessed cans lining the front path, a couple downlights tucked in the trees, and you were done. Not anymore. When it comes to the great outdoors, homeowners have seen the light. “Today, people aren’t just lighting up the walkways so they can see their way to the door at night, and putting fl oods near the garage. They’re fi nding ways to il- luminate the landscaping they’ve spent so much time and money on so they can enjoy it at night,” says Joe Rey-Bar- reau, education consultant for the American Lighting As- sociation (ALA) and associate professor at the University of Kentucky. Rey-Barreau tracks the latest trends among lighting dealers and designers and says, “This spring, we’re go- ing to see a lot of changes in outdoor lighting practices. Landscape lighting is now being used as a means to ex- tend living space so people can enjoy the best of both the inside and outside worlds. I see the focus this spring being on techniques that bring light closer to the house, and make the space more aesthetically pleasing in an un- obtrusive manner,” he says. Gone are the days of the big, bold lanterns that used to line people’s walks. Rey-Barreau says this year, the hot- test trend will be to instead decorate with light from non- visible sources. Among the options for this: uplighting, downlighting and shadowing. Uplighting is produced by shining a light up on a tree, statue or bench in the yard to highlight to give it defi ni- tion, texture or even dimensionality. Downlighting is cre- ated by hanging the light source in the trees or from the rooftop and shining it on the area below. This technique is often used to improve visibility for security reasons. And with shadowing you use spot or fl ood lights placed at ground level, or in-ground fi xtures placed in front of an object to throw its shadow on a wall behind it as a deco- rative feature. Richard Lentz, president of Lentz Landscape Lighting in Dallas, Texas, says people’s desire to enhance their out- door living space has played a big role in his business in recent years. “People have come to realize it’s a shame to just ignore all those great spaces they’ve created outdoors because it’s dark outside, so they’re hiring us to come up with ways to incorporate the landscape into their night life,” says Lentz.

Lighting a Walkway One of the most popular ways to light a walkway is with a runway effect where there are lights on both sides of the path, but Lentz says that distracts from the envi- ronment. “I prefer to fi lter light through the trees above to light up a sidewalk or steps. It gives you a real nice, natural effect.” While expanding living space and decorating with lighting are popular reasons to put in landscape light- ing, security is also an important factor. Chris Primous, product manager for Progress Lighting says he’s seeing a trend towards people installing lighting that will keep their homes bright and visible from the road. “Just because the purpose of the light is security doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be decorative,” Primous says. “You can use spotlights and fl ood lights to both light the area and accent prevalent architectural features of the home’s structure or notable landscaping elements.” For instance, if the home has a beautiful stone facade, a grazing technique with carefully placed accent fi xtures (ideally six to 12 inches from the surface) will bring out the texture to create a visually stunning picture from the curb. Similarly, tall columns can be highlighted by using closely placed ground-mounted spotlights or in-grade fi x- tures with very narrow sources that will really bring out the height and showcase the architectural features of the column. Jeff Dross of Kichler Lighting points out, “People have come to realize that if you want your home’s lighting job done right, you need to bring in a professional. As you get more creative people involved, it leads to more cre- ative solutions and a better result. We’re seeing a defi nite maturing of the fi eld.” To learn more about landscape lighting, or to fi nd a licensed lighting professional in your area who can help you take advantage of the latest technology, go to www.AmericanLightingAssoc.com or call (800) BRIGHT IDEA (800-274-4484).

We are a certified Rubaroc agent servicing the Durham region and beyond. Rubaroc is the one of the safest, hardest wear- ing surfacing products on the market. Rubaroc has been installed internation- ally for about 30 years in Florida, Europe, Canada, U.S. Barbados, Spain, and more. Rubaroc is ideal for pool decks, patios, walk- ways, splash-pads, garage floors, and wood decks. Rubaroc is comprised of rubber granules mixed with a specially formulated resin to create a non-slip surface that is seamless and beautiful. Rubaroc wont crack, chip, delami- nate, or fade, making it an ideal surfacing solution. If you are wondering if this is the same product they use in playgrounds and water- parks than your probably right. Although the installa- tion process in playgrounds is a little different, Rubaroc is made of the same mate- rial that you would see in some of Durham regions local parks. There are a number of reasons why Rubaroc is one of the best surfac- ing products out there. Rubaroc can be installed right over top your exist- ing cracked, worn out, heaved surface. It can be installed right over con- crete, asphalt, interlock- ing brick, tile, wood, patio slabs, flagstone, and steel. It is hand trowelled to allow us to level out and low spots and depressions. Once installed, Rubaroc has the ability to expand and contract with the sub- strate. This is especially important when you take into account the cracking in hard-based products caused by our harsh win- ters and our freeze and thaw cycle. It is applied at 1/4 of an inch, which allows it to stretch up to 40% of its original size so your Rubaroc surface will stay looking great. Rubaroc is soft on the feet, safe for children and the elderly because its non-slip even when wet. Rubaroc comes in a variety of mixed col- ors and can be accurately matched to your existing decor. Custom and solid colours and designs are also available. Installation on most common areas take only about a day and the product is ready to use within 24 hours. Rubaroc is also cov- ered by a ten-year warran- ty to give you some peace of mind when investing in a surface. In the event of a repair, the blemish is simply cut out and new Rubaroc is poured in. The repair is virtually seamless. Grass and weeds can’t grow through it, bugs can’t live in it and it’s easy to clean with no maintenance required. Above you will see some pictures of our satisfied customers instal- lations. All pictures are installations are within the Durham region. Rubaroc is the only product we install. It takes a dedicated team of installers and a lot of training to carry out the quality Rubaroc installa- tions that Contact Safety Surfacing is known for. So when your sitting in your back yard wondering what to do with your worn-out cracked, heaved concrete, think Contact Safety Sur- facing. Estimates are free and questions and com- ments are welcome.

It’s the only planet with a Black Dog Pub! Want to do something to stop global warming? Here are 10 simple things you can do and how much carbon dioxide you will save doing them. Change a light:Replace one regular bulb with a compact fl uorescent light will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. Drive less: Walk, bike, carpool or take metro transit more often. You’ll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don’t drive. Recycle more: You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste. Check your tires: Keeping your tires infl ated properly can improve your gas mileage by more than 3%. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Use less hot water: It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low-fl ow showerhead (350 pounds of CO2 saved per year and washing your clothes in cold water will save 500 pounds per year). Avoid products with over packaging:You can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%. Plant a tree: A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 1, 2007 PAGE 27 A/Pdurhamregion.com durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 28 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 1, 2007 ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT durhamregion.com Fr om bobby sox to the Blob Y outh group stages play about 1950s By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — There are times, few though they be, when the younger generation must turn to their par- ents and even grandparents for in- formation and advice. The young stars of Whitby Court- house Theatre youth group’s pro- duction of The Nifty Fifties, which runs June 7 to 10, are a case in point. Having to be convincing young people from the 1950s, they needed some help from the older genera- tions. When they first started rehears- als in January, youth group direc- tor and play director Tracy Folkes Hanson gave them homework, she explained in an interview. She asked them to research that decade, asking them to come up with a favourite food, group and song from that era, and to check out the clothes. “They did a lot of research,” she said. “They talked to their grand- parents, they talked to their parents. They also used the Internet.” Then they put what they learned into practise, she said. The boys had to learn to wear their pants up higher (say, at their waists) and to roll up their pant cuffs. The girls had to learn to sit with their shoulder backs, no slouching and to cross their ankles and keep their feet on the floor. They also had to learn to walk “daintily” and not to stride, Folkes Hanson said. “It was a real challenge. We don’t have the same sort of posture,” she said. “All these kinds of things... we’ve worked with the kids and talked about it.” They also spent one Saturday watching the old movie The Blob, since it plays a big part in the show. The young actors picked it up quickly, she said. “Kids are like sponges. They’re sporting bobby socks, poodle skirts and dungarees.” They’ve soaked up a lot since last fall, when the youth group got under way, learning about all aspects of theatre and then using those skills to put on the play. “It’s a musical comedy tribute to the 1950s,” the director said of The Nifty Fifties. “It’s a great musical, appropriate for all ages. It’s got great dancing, great music.” The action takes place in Louise’s luncheonette where plans are being made to hold the annual high school hippity hop. There are good friends and rivalries, the latter leading to the organizer promising to deliver the top rock star, Ziggy Springer, her cousin, to perform at the dance. “They get up to all kinds of antics,” Folkes Hanson said. There 26 young people, ages 9 to 16, involved in the play. Since September, they’ve been involved in the youth group. From September to December, they took part in weekly workshops and listened to special guests talk about various aspects of theatre. Then came auditions and, since January, rehearsals. Everyone who auditioned got a part in the play. “We have an amazing cast,” Folkes Hanson said. “There are plenty of good speaking roles.” The lead roles are Gracie Stanley, the sweetheart and dance organizer, played by Carly Campigotto, George, the athlete and Gracie’s boyfriend, played by Alex Hanson, Muffin Man- sfield, Gracie’s rival, played by Tavia Pereria, Louise, played by Rosie Mammone, Ziggy Springer, played by Nick Mammone, a rebel with a cause, played by Nicole Vezeau and Jughead, played by Rachel Phillips. The musical director is Catherine Pavlik, of Port Perry, Lanie Ander- son is choreographer while Claude Lavoie is stage manager. Folkes Hanson said the set, lighting and costumes are great and credits par- ents with oodles of support on the project. She added she’s enjoyed work- ing with the young people and ad- vises everyone to get out and see the show. “They won’t want to miss it. It’s the show of the season. It’s just a delightful evening’s entertainment.” The play runs June 7, 8 and 9 at 7:30 p.m. with a 2 p.m. matinee June 10 at the Centennial Building, 416 Centre St. S. Tickets are $10 at Lafon- taine in downtown Whitby. There might be some at the door too. For more information, go to www. whitbytheatre.org.

The annual Chorale De Lites con- cert is a special one this year, as the group celebrates its fifth anniversa- ry. The program will be extra special too as alumni are coming back to take part in the June 2 concert. “This is the fifth year anniversary of the Choral De Lites choir,” said music director Catherine Pavlik. “For the program, we issued invita- tions to all the alumni who’ve been members of the choir. Rather amaz- ingly that totalled about 130 young people.” Of those, about 30 alumni are returning for the concert and will form a mass choir with the current crop for several pieces. There will also be some solos by alumni, many of whom are studying music at the post-secondary level now. Today’s Choral De Lites chamber group, Grade 4 to 8, will sing as will the cherub group, ages five and six. The program will feature a variety of music genres, including Broad- way music, folk songs and songs in three other languages -- French, Spanish and Hebrew. The choir is accompanied by Kevin Drennan. This is the final event of the sea- son, which has been a good one for the choirs, said Pavlik. (Besides the chamber and cherub groups, there’s an introductory choir for ages seven and up.) The highlight was a gold medal standing achieved at the Newmarket Voice Festival last fall. The concert will be held June 2 at 7:30 p.m. at Port Perry United Church, 249 Queen St. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for children and $25 for a family of five. Tickets are available at the door and at Hen- shall’s, 905-985-1965. Pavlik said Choral De Lites is a skills-based program which ex- plores singing techniques with an understanding of developing voices and music theory. Pavlik is looking toward next sea- son. Auditions are June 14 at 5 p.m. at the church. Anyone interested is asked to call her at 905-985-9274. Coming up next year are more clinics, festivals and workshops, the chance for travel, more music and fun. Build a bundle, save a bundle. Every month.

Sports briefs JUNE 1, 2007 [ Soccer ] Ajax U8 boys make an Impact AJAX — The Ajax Impact Telus boys’ under-eight rep soccer team needed an overtime tally by Darryn Commissiong to claim its first tourna- ment crown of the season. Commissiong calmly scored the over time winner with a low, hard drive into the corner of the net for a 2-1 Ajax victory over Newmarket United in the championship game of the West Rouge Soccer Tournament last week- end. Ajax earned the chance to win it in extra time after Jordan Hardie converted on a penalty kick to tie the final at 1-1 with minutes remaining in regulation time. In the semifinal, Ajax advanced to the final after blowing past the Pickering Hurricane 7-0. Goalkeeper Dalton Clark earned the shutout. In round-robin play, Ajax com- piled a perfect 3-0 mark. The Impact handled Pickering Hurricane 8-1, New- market United 7-1 and Pickering Vipers 3-1. Strong defence was supplied by goalkeeper Dalton Clark, Nick Sims, Adrian Martini, Matthew Dean and Chris Hudson. Midfielders Joshua Cammalleri, Austin Werner, Kevin Stiles, Jordan Hardie, Nathaniel Sadler and Jevon Nicholson provided the backbone for the team throughout the tournament. Striker Niko Cirone, who pot- ted five goals in the semifinal against Pickering, and fellow striker Commis- siong were also outstanding. Antonio DeFilippis was absent and Stefan Palatsidis is recovering from injury. Scott Hardie coaches the team, assisted by Darren Commissiong. The manager is Susan Hardie, trainer is Marco Werner and assistant manager is Karen Werner.

Senior ‘B’ lacrosse team vows changes By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — It’s general manag- er/head coach Paul St. John’s belief the Ajax-Pickering Rock’s current woes can be boiled down to a single word: complacency. The Rock is currently mired in a three-game losing streak in On- tario Lacrosse Association senior ‘B’ league action, dropping its third consecutive game against the Owen Sound Woodsmen at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Saturday night. Holding a three-goal lead in the third period, the Rock gave it all back, as the Woodsmen tied it up 6-6 to force a 10-minute overtime frame. Owen Sound kept the mo- mentum going in the extra frame, outscoring the Rock 3-2 for the 9-8 overtime decision. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and St. John vows chang- es will be made -- up to and in- cluding stepping down as the head coach -- in order to get the team moving in the right direction. “I think we need to make a major shake-up,” concedes St. John, as his club currently resides in last place in the East Division with a 2-4 mark. “I hope that it will happen in the next two to three weeks, before the June 23 trade deadline. Some guys have been here a while and they’re complacent with their position with the team.” Having noted his willingness to part with some players, St. John warned a fire sale is not in the works and the towel hasn’t been thrown in on the current campaign. He is, however, committed to salvaging the season with some roster moves he hopes will pay off when the play- offs roll around. “We are going to make some changes, sooner rather than later. We’re in conversations with other teams,” he says. “Definitely, we don’t like losing -- no team does. But, I take it more personally than any- body. There may have to be other changes, including myself, if things don’t start to get better.” St. John acknowledges the loss to Owen Sound has definitely sped up the process to alter the ros- ter. The loss was a shocker insofar as the Rock was cruising along with a three-goal lead and, for what- ever reason, panic set in and snow- balled into a disappointing overtime loss. “We didn’t play with the lead like we should have,” says St. John of Saturday’s effort. “They outworked us in the end. Hard work has always been our trademark and we didn’t get the job done when we had the lead.” St. John believes complacency within the player ranks has been borne out of the fact all league teams make the playoffs, making a less- ened sense of urgency for regular- season wins. Moreover, some of the players who’ve been on the roster a few years have grown complacent with their status on the team. Injuries, he says, have played a role. Of late, the Rock has been with- out John Rosa (knee) and Andrew Furlong (knee) and, on Saturday night, the team also lost Pat Van Hooser, who also suffered a knee injury and will be lost indefinitely. St. John also concedes the loss of former captain Jim Veltman, who retired from summer league play, has been more deeply felt than he could have imagined. “His leader- ship has been missed.” The Rock’s top scorer Mark Craig led the way against Owen Sound with two goals. Jaime Lumsden, To dd Hollinshead, Jeff Summer- field, Tyler Phillips, Chris Parkin, Mike Daley and Tim O’Brien were the other marksmen. The Rock are in Fergus to play the Wellington Aces on Saturday at 7 p.m. Between a Rock and a hard place THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 1, 2007 PAGE 31 A/Pdurhamregion.com Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Close play at second base AJAX — Ajax High School Rams’ shortstop Mat Earle tags Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas’ Matt Bursey on second base, as Bursey looks to the umpire for the verdict during Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) baseball playoff action at the Ajax Sportsplex diamonds on Wednesday.

Walker, the Ajax Soccer Club girls’ under-eight team was ‘dyn-o-mite’ in capturing its second consecu- tive tournament title at the Lucas Cioffi Memorial Tournament, hosted by the Woodbridge Strikers Soccer Club recently.

The Dynamite played both teams twice in the round robin, emerging to battle Vaughan Az- zurri in the final. No game scores were reported. All told, in the five tournament games, the Ajacians tallied 47 goals, while allowing only one. Dynamite play their next tour- ney in Ancaster June 16 and 17. Te am members are Courtney Correia, Julia Snow, Katie Park- er, Nicole White, Nicole Dodge, To naya Blackstock, Milan Dan- ford, Emily Gauvreau, Parys Kerr, Alexis Ferreira, Kristien Lindo, and Sinead Kappel.
