Although they don’t set off their own fireworks, it’s a place where others do, and they enjoyed watch- ing them. But what happened this year put an end to their tradition. As they watched the fireworks on Victoria Day, the couple thought they were safe from fire since the three groups in attendance were spread out. But, as Ms. Sammut was getting the sand out of her shoes, she heard ‘Look out!’ and saw a pink flash. Mr. Lamila said a “pellet” from a firecracker had gone through her coat and jeans and exploded, leaving her with a three-inch diameter first- and Public consultation session held before school board approval By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The hiring of a su- perintendent dedicated to safety and to help get more provincial funding was requested during a consultation session on the public school board’s budget. Trustees at the June 6 public input session for the Durham Dis- trict School Board’s more than $500 million budget heard from two employee unions and Whitby resident Scott Templeton. “With the recent shooting in To- ronto, I think it’s important we have a proactive approach,” said Mr. Templeton, who proposed the board create a new position at the administration level to work solely on safety in Durham schools. “I know you’re response; we don’t have the funding to do this in Durham Region,” said Mr. Temple- ton. He added parents will be be- hind them to find the money. “I’m asking you to search ways to find money to create this position.” Ajax Trustee Marilyn Crawford, board chairwoman, agreed safety is important, especially with the recent shooting. She added it’s her understanding all superinten- dents are in charge of safety at their own schools and Joe Hircock is the Whitby and safe-schools su- perintendent. To create another position would require program cuts, she said, and added budget dollars are enveloped even more now than before. “I know Joe does a great job, all the superintendents do a great job in their area, I’m not taking that away from them,” said Mr. Temple- ton. A dedicated superintendent could investigate more program co-ordination with the police and arrange initiatives such as “how’s my driving” stickers with phone numbers for the back of school buses, said Mr. Templeton. Trustee Crawford said their su- perintendent has direct contact with police and municipalities. “I don’t want to argue with you, School safety a concern during budget talks SURROUNDED BY COMFORTABLE FRIENDS AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Students at Rosebank Road Public School collected 369 teddy bears to be distributed among local women’s shelters.

By the time we got up to react, it just went off,” Mr. Lamila said. Ms. Sammut made sure to roll on the blanket to put out the fire, while her fi- ance grabbed a water bottle since there were no buckets nearby - something that is recommended when using commercial fireworks. “The hole (where it en- tered) was really tiny, but the whole inside of the jeans is charred,” Ms. Sammut said. “I’ve never felt pain like that before. It was im- mense pain and it was all in one area. The fire was out but it still felt like I was on fire.” Ms. Sammut claimed a group of young adults were walking by as the firework went off. She said one of the young men had thrown it, and although he came over, saying ‘I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry,’ he fled in his car. “His intention was not to throw it at me and burn me, I know that,” she said. “It was a pure accident. But, fireworks are not something that you can just throw around people.” Ms. Sammut said she wasn’t only angry that the young man who threw it ran away, but that all of the oth- ers in the group did as well. “None of them had the frame of mind to ask ‘do you need an ambulance?’ or ‘could we do anything for you’?” she said. Mr. Lamila said he noted the car models and a li- cence plate number and reported the incident to po- lice. An ambulance took Ms. Sammut to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. Dave Selby, spokesman for Durham Regional Po- lice, said they receive a few mischief calls after each fireworks weekend. “It’s unusual for fire- crackers to be thrown at people, but it does happen,” he said. Mr. Lamila has to change his fiancee’s ban- dages each day, but said the burn hasn’t even begun to scab over. They’re not sure if skin graphing is an option and won’t find out until the burn begins to heal. Ms. Sammut said it’s painful to walk, she can’t sit comfortably, and can’t do regular activities with her family at the moment. She has even had to pay to re- place her jeans and shoes. She thinks people should be more educated on the dangers of firecrackers, and parents should be aware of the hazards. “If you are going to cel- ebrate with fireworks, be smart,” Ms. Sammut said. Christopher Ibberson, 20, of Pickering has been charged with criminal negligence causing bodily harm and was released on a promise to appear notice. ✦ Be from page 1 PICKERING — The death of a man found in a burned- out vehicle last week in a Pickering industrial area has been ruled a suicide. Durham homicide de- tectives were called in after what appeared at first to be a routine fire call turned into a suspicious death in- cident. Emergency crews responding to the blaze, on Granite Court in the Hwy. 401 - Whites Road area around 1 a.m. May 30 dis- covered the badly-burned remains inside the Kia Sportage after flames were extinguished. It has been determined the victim, a 52-year-old Scarborough man, com- mitted suicide, Durham police said Thursday. Fiery SUV death a suicide: police that’s not my intention,” said Trustee Craw- ford. Whitby Trustee John Dolstra said he’s been contacting Queen’s Park and trying to get funding for a safety person, although not a full-time one. Shelley Page of the Ontario Secondary School Teacher’s Federation and Marion Moore of CUPE Local 218 spoke next. They both asked the school board to work with them to address provincial funding issues. Ms. Moore said she’s been reading articles recently about school board funding chal- lenges. Although no education assistants were cut from the Durham District School Board this year, its Catholic counterpart is facing them, she said, and added maybe the public board will have to make cuts next year as enrol- ment continues to decline. Trustees need to stand up to the Province and not make cuts on the backs of students, said Ms. Moore. The finance committee approved the bud- get and it goes before trustees for final ap- proval June 18. The Durham District School Board’s 2007/2008 operating revenue includes ap- proximately $22 million more than the pre- vious year. The extra funds help pay for increased employee salaries and contracts within the provincial compensation framework, and more teachers. This year, 32 elementary teachers will be added to accommodate primary class size reductions and more prep time. The sec- ondary level features eight new positions for student success initiatives. About $2.25 million in the capital budget is planned for portable acquisitions to ac- commodate the new primary class size. Live It!

In other words, you can’t remove your heart and soul and expect everything to be hunky-dory. That’s what’s hurting the Ajax-Picker- ing Rock this season and will continue to haunt the senior ‘B’ lacrosse team until a commensurate leader comes to the fore -- whether that’s someone stepping up within their own ranks or from without, perhaps gleaned through a trade. The 2007 season is the first in the past three seasons the Rock has been without its leader and far-and-away best player in Veltman. And, so far, without him, the club has experienced a letdown far greater than they thought they would have to endure. “We definitely miss his leadership,” says Rock head coach Paul St. John. Not to mention his experience, other worldly skill, poise, class, toughness and, yes, undeniable leadership. Ve ltman decided to eschew the sum- mer lacrosse game after competing in his 16th season in the National La- crosse League, nine of those with the To ronto Rock. At age 41, he retired from the senior ‘B’ game ostensibly to preserve himself for another jolt of NLL lacrosse with Toronto in 2008 and to spend quality time with his family. As well, short of winning a championship, Ve ltman had gone as far with the Ajax- Pickering version of the Rock and with the senior league as he could. In his final season in Ajax-Picker- ing in 2006, Veltman was named the league’s top defensive player and fin- ished in the top 10 in assists with 26, al- though he played in only eight regular- season games. He was also second in Rock team scoring with 34 points, again while playing in only eight games. Moreover, Veltman was a key rea- son the team advanced through the 2006 playoffs all the way to the league playoff final before falling to the Wel- lington Aces three-games-to-one in the best-of-five championship series. Wel- lington, it should be noted, went on to win the Presidents Cup, symbolic of Canadian supremacy at the senior ‘B’ category. Currently, the Rock is on a four-game losing slide with no end in sight. St. John has cited complacency and the fact all teams make the playoffs for the club’s current malaise. Malaise? How about sleepwalking through the regular season with the thought that they’ll make it all up in the playoffs. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. Unless Jim Veltman is waiting in the wings, perhaps to make a triumphant return to the Rock lineup, it’s shaping up to be a long season for the local LAXers.

E-mail him at arivett@durhamregion.com Al Rivett sports editor LETTER TO THE EDITOR Poor attendance at rally To the editor: Re: May 27 manufacturing crisis rally in Oshawa. It is a shame that more people in the Durham area did not care enough to participate. Perhaps they were too busy shopping and filling their carts with the following: produce from the U.S. or Mexico; clothing from Third World countries; and, electronics from Asia. I choose to pay more for something when I see ‘Made in Canada’. Some friends think I am crazy but I come from a long line of farmers and I grew up not too far from the now closed steel mills in Welland. Everyone wants to save a buck or two. The only economics I know is the checkout model. Blame the politicians then look in the mirror and point the finger there as well. Karem Allen Ajax Local reps see bills bite the dust T here are a lot of perks that come with being a back- bench MPP: a six-figure salary, a four-year breather between job interviews, a chance to make a differ- ence at the highest level. But it has to be incredibly frustrating to work hard at crafting a piece of legislation, see it through the committee stage, bat it around with colleagues and constituents, have it go through first and second readings only to see the pre- mier pull the plug on the legislature and kill your bill. That’s exactly what happened to Progressive Conserva- tive MPPs John O’Toole (Durham) and Jerry Ouellette (Os- hawa) earlier this week when Dalton McGuinty turned out the legislature lights three weeks early. It’s never too early to begin campaigning, nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Mr. O’Toole, who has been through the process twice be- fore, saw the premier hang up on his cellphone legislation. The MPP has long been an advocate of prohibiting cell- phone use while operating a motor vehicle, citing examples of accidents that occurred while a driver was talking on a cellphone. Such legislation has already passed in many U.S. states and other countries but will have to be brought back in the next session to have a chance in Ontario. Mr. Ouellette brought forward a bill that would see the chairman of Durham Region elected by voters instead of by the 28 regional councillors from the region’s eight munici- palities. Mr. Ouellette pushed forward with the bill after last fall’s municipal elections saw overwhelming support for di- rect election of the chairman in three of Durham’s four larg- est municipalities: Oshawa, Pickering and Ajax. While voter turnout was slim, the choice of those who voted for direct election was not as 86 per cent of voters said they wanted direct election. The bill made it through second reading but has now died. The decision to go with direct election now sits in the hands of the region itself. For it to pass it will likely have to get a super majority meaning a majority of regional council- lors need to back it -- it passed 15-13 when voted on earlier this year -- along with at least five of eight of the munici- palities making up at least 50 per cent of the population of Durham. That’s not likely given the three northern munici- palities don’t favour direct election and they are supported by Whitby and Clarington. It’s unfortunate these two bills didn’t at least get the chance to face third reading, but that’s politics. Pity.

Since 2004, the two municipalities have been addressing the social, environmental and financial impacts of resolving this issue by way of an “Individual” Environmental Assessment (EA) under the Provincial EA Act. A Joint Waste Management Group comprised of residents, local politicians and Regional staff oversees the project and the general public is involved through the public information session process. A short-list of sites has been identified and consideration of the final site is underway using a series of evaluation criteria developed through the EA public consultation process. Four sites in Clarington have been identified as potential sites. An important component of the EA study is to investigate the potential impact to human and ecological health from an energy-from-waste (EFW) facility. The Regions initiated a health and ecological risk assessment study in 2006 and the results will be presented at the public information sessions as shown below. On June 18, the Region of Durham will be hosting a drop-in style information session on the EFW project. Sessions on June 20, 27 and 28 will update residents on the EFW project as well as results of the health and environmental risk study. Visit the study website for information on all public information sessions. An informal drop-in information session will be held from 2 to 7 p.m. Monday, June 18 at Faith United Church, 1778 Nash Road, Courtice All other information sessions will be held from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Formal presentations begin at 7:00 p.m. at the locations shown below Wednesday, June 20 Wednesday, June 27 Thursday, June 28 Clarington Beech Centre Faith United Church Newcastle Hall 26 Beech Avenue 1778 Nash Road 20 King Street West Bowmanville Courtice Newcastle To review the EA study documentation, please: Visit your local municipal office or library.

Gilchrist nominated for Ajax-Pickering riding DURHAM — A former provincial MPP is making a run at federal politics. Steve Gilchrist has been nominated to run for the Conservative Party in the riding of Ajax-Pickering. From 1995 to 2003, he served in various posi- tions in the governments of Progressive Conserva- tive premiers Mike Harris and Ernie Eves, including a period as the minister of municipal affairs and housing. Mr. Gilchrist says he’s turning to federal politics because “a lot of the work that inspired me to run provincially has been re- solved.” He said that includes establishing the Rouge Park, working to keep the agriculture preserve, sav- ing the Oak Ridges Mo- raine and the Scarborough Bluffs. “That leave issues like the Pickering airport and the federal lands around it. It’s one of the few en- vironmental issues in the east GTA,” Mr. Gilchrist states. “It’s an opportunity to bring to the next govern- ment ideas on alternative energy.” He’s the vice-president of Canadian Hydrogen En- ergy Company, a Durham Region manufacturer of a hydrogen-based emis- sions control technology. He’s also a director of the National Hydrogen Asso- ciation in the U.S. and is a frequent speaker at in- ternational environmental conferences. Mr. Gilchrist is opposed to an airport in Pickering, calling it “another Mirabel just waiting to happen.” He ran provincially in Scarborough, but moved to Pickering shortly after the 2003 provincial elec- tion. Mr. Gilchrist says it’s im- portant “to run in the rid- ing you live in, so I settled on Ajax-Pickering.” As for when the next election will be, he says, “I really do believe the Prime Minister when he says he doesn’t want an election. He’s already the Prime Minister. It’s up to the op- position.” He does, however, pre- dict “most likely in the spring of next year.” Former Ontario MPP turning to federal politics *Minimum purchase $250.Any Brick delivery charges, applicable taxes and administration fee ($99.95) are payable at time of purchase.

On May 30, Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Wayne Arthurs presented the 856 Pickering Kins- men Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron with a $40,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Founda- tion. The OTF, a ministry of culture agency, dis- tributes $100 million in government funding each year, generated through Ontario’s charity casino initiative. Most of 856’s funding is usually raised through Ta g Days, when the cadets ask for donations out- side of retail locations, handing out the ‘I support Air Cadets’ tag. The OTF funding will go toward buying new instruments for the squadron’s 856 Drum and Bugle Band. “(The current instruments) were scavenged by other bands,” said Jeff Wood, the 856 public af- fairs officer. The Toronto Signals Band and some school alumni bands were among those that do- nated their old instruments to the squadron, and Mr. Wood said the band members are “really happy” about the new instruments. He said “they do more than just march” by leading others in the Santa Claus Parade, the Easter Parade and the Remembrance Day Parade. The 856 squadron is nearly 10 years old and the band has been active for eight. The squadron also received a community group award at the 2006 Pickering Civic Awards in May for winning the Dr. George Westman trophy for top squadron in Ontario.

Three times the suspect has walked into shops, ex- pressed interest in costly di- amond rings and then fled with the items after asking a clerk to see them, Durham police said. The thief struck at Rodeo Jewelers in the Os- hawa Centre on May 31 and June 2 and at Garro Jewel- lers in the Pickering Town Centre June 1. Each time the man asked questions about the rings that indicated some knowledge of diamonds, then dashed from the store when handed the items, po- lice said. Value of the sto- len rings has ranged from $12,000 to $18,000. The suspect is a white man believed to be in his mid 20s who stands 5-foot- 10 with a slender to me- dium build and short hair. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905- 579-1520, ext. 5337 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD Peter H.

The Town is going to spend about $79,200 to install mini-roundabouts, put in a median island, curb extensions and tex- tured crosswalks, all with the hope of slowing speed- ers. Ajax has already decided to spend about $280,000 to put two roundabouts on Pickering Beach Road. The mini-roundabouts will be on Range Line, at the intersections of Poplar Avenue and Ruthel Roads. A median island will also be installed on Range Line in an effort to prevent motorists southbound on Pickering Beach Road from ‘c utting’ the corner. Residents approached councillors last year, con- cerned about the volume of traffic and the high speed many motorists travelled. Angela Gibson, the se- nior transportation plan- ner for Ajax, told council’s community affairs and planning committee on Monday most motorists exceed the 40 km/h speed limit. After 8 p.m., about one- third of motorists reach speeds of more than 60 km/h. About half of Range Line “is rural and there’s no sidewalks, so safety is an issue,” she said. “We’ve noticed a lack of stop sign compliance. Almost all of the traffic was from out- side the immediate area.” During the study staff did, “We confirmed what residents have observed, with corner cutting and a lack of stop sign compli- ance,” she added. Staff considered a ‘full plan’, which includes the mini-roundabouts, medi- an island and curb exten- sions, or a ‘reduced plan’, which would have all-way stop signs installed at Pop- lar, but no mini-round- abouts. Staff was recommending the ‘full plan’ because “it has the highest potential to address the problem,” Ms. Gibson said. The existing all-way stop signs at Ruthel will be removed when the mini- roundabout is installed. Rocky Mele, of Range Line, said of the plan, “This is great. We love it. The street loves it.” He questioned the curb extensions, saying one would be near his house. “I’m not completely con- vinced they will work. I’d like some input on these curb extensions. It’s what affects me the most,” he stated. Planning and Develop- ment director Paul Allore said a public information session could be held prior to the curbs being installed. Wa rd 4 local Councillor Pat Brown noted the Range Line work is the second major traffic calming proj- ect in the area. “We’re spending an in- ordinate amount of money on this,” she said, adding it’s people from the area who are speeding. Wards 3 and 4 Regional Councillor Colleen Jordan agreed, saying, “We know we can’t prevent every- thing and people will do some really silly things.” The Town can now “c hip away at other streets in Ajax where we have a problem. It costs a lot to do,” Coun. Jordan added. The hope is to have the project designed over the summer and work start be- fore the end of the year.

The Durham District School Board’s standing committee was split six to five on a motion to immedi- ately rejoin the association it left in August. The board pulled its $100,000 mem- bership after its concerns were repeatedly ignored by OPSBA, but Oshawa Trust- ee Michael Barrett brought the issue back up during the June 4 meeting. “We have to take the nec- essary evil with the good and I think our absence continues to harm us,” said Trustee Barrett, who sup- ported the previous remov- al. Monday’s motion re- ceived yes votes from Os- hawa trustees Kathleen Hopper, Larry Jacula, and Trustee Barrett; Uxbridge Trustee Joe Allin, Ajax Trustee Marilyn Crawford, and Pickering Trustee Chris Braney. Scugog Trustee Steve Martin, Whitby Trust- ee John Dolstra, Pickering Trustee Sherry Croteau, Whitby Trustee Christine Winters, and Ajax Trustee Lisa Hill voted against re- joining. Final approval is still required by the school board, but all its trustees are also members of the stand- ing committee. Trustee Barrett brought the motion forth because it’s something the board has been discussing for a couple months, he said in an interview. “There’s a gap in the in- volvement of our staff in OPSBA,” said Trustee Bar- rett. He said OPSBA has really good staff, which Durham’s staff benefit from working with. They’re also able to sit on groups and in- fluence legislation before it hits the table, said Mr. Bar- rett, and OPSBA also has the minister of education’s ear. On the other hand, its governance is really poor, as was the governance re- port released about several weeks ago, he said. Trustee Barrett wants on the gover- nance committee to affect change. OPSBA did the gover- nance structure report at Durham’s request, but the board pulled out before it could provide its input, said chairwoman Trustee Craw- ford. It’s her understanding the policy is still valid so hopefully Durham can still add its suggestions. Trustee Dolstra was ada- mant the board stay out of OPSBA. “I have seen nothing come from OPSBA that has been of benefit to Durham students,” he said adding it will cost $100,000 to rejoin plus staff time. “It’s just like hiring a con- tractor, you hire him, he doesn’t do the work, so you fire him,” said Trustee Dol- stra. He added OPSBA has admitted it has problems and he thinks it should get its house in order first. “I would rather wait till 2008 ... I don’t see what the big hurry is,” said Trustee Dolstra. When Uxbridge Trustee Joe Allin joined the school board he came with con- cerns it wasn’t part of OPSBA. “I think we have been wit- ness to presentations this evening that show us the power of partnership, the power of working together,” said Trustee Allin. He said we’re facing very real issues in the province and it’s es- sential to work together. During a previous meet- ing with OPSBA, Trustee Allin was appalled by what appeared to be a lack of cli- ent service and said he un- derstands Trustee Dolstra’s outrage. Still, the board has to play in the game, not on the sidelines, he added. Although Trustee Hill agreed with much of Trustee Allin’s comments, she said partnerships take a con- certed effort and it doesn’t seem like they get that from OPSBA. She said she can’t support the motion “know- ing full well they’re not lis- tening.” Oshawa Trustee Larry Jacula said he supports the motion, but they need to let OPSBA know they’re not crawling back, they’re walk- ing proudly and don’t have to stay forever. Trustee Hopper said she can think of different situ- ations where the board has saved money on copyrights, legal fees and other things through OPSBA, which help outweigh its shortcomings.

The disease, which is passed between birds and mosquitoes and spreads to humans through bites from infected mosquitoes, is not known to spread from per- son to person. While research shows most of those infected expe- rience mild or no symptoms, in less than one per cent of cases, WNV can cause severe meningitis, muscle weakness, paralysis of arms and legs or encephalitis. Forty dead birds tested pos- itive for WNV in Durham between 2001 and 2006 and less than 13 batches of mos- quitoes tested positive out of 480 tested. The Drain after Rain ini- tiative encourages residents to remove areas of stand- ing water where mosquitoes can breed, and Fight the Bite teaches precautions against bites. Statistics show residents following these measures have increased greatly. “Human cases of West Nile virus in Durham Re- gion are rare, with fewer than five human cases re- ported in the region since 2001,” Gabrielle Brankston, an epidemiologist with Durham Region said in a press release. The region recently re- leased Snapshot on West Nile Virus, a new report that provides an overview of WNV.

But experts say it’s not enough. This year, the Canadian Red Cross and the Canadian Life Sav- ing Society have partnered with Safe Kids Canada and Johnson and Johnson to help educate Ca- nadians on drowning prevention. This summer, parents are en- couraged to use the “five layers” of protection to keep their kids safe. These are: actively supervising children, training adults in CPR, first aid and water rescue, four- sided fencing around home pools, using life-jackets and teaching kids to swim. “It is not enough to simply teach your child to swim,” said Allyson Hewitt, executive director of Safe Kids Canada, the national injury prevention program of The Hos- pital for Sick Children. “A lthough this is an important layer, parents play a vital role in drowning prevention. Research shows active parental supervision combined with physical barriers like four-sided pool fencing are some of the essential layers to keep kids safe.” Drowning is the second leading cause of injury-related death for Canadian children under the age of 14. An estimated 58 kids drown every year -- the equivalent of at least two elementary school class- rooms. Another 140 are hospital- ized as a result of a near-drowning incidents.

Work to start in fall By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX — With Durham Region deciding against adding another Regional councillor in Ajax, the To wn will now look at how the local council is made up and how the four wards are configured. Clerk Marty de Rond says “we’ll examine our ward boundaries and our own council composition.” One aspect that will be exam- ined is if the current seven-mem- ber council composition is appro- priate, he says. “We have to have a mayor and we have to have two regional councillors. “The minimum, in my mind, is we have to balance our own wards,” Mr. de Rond states, adding Wa rd 3 is lagging behind in terms of population and most of the fu- ture growth is in Wards 1 and 2. In the municipal election last November, Ward 3 had just under 12,000 eligible voters, while Ward 1 had almost 17,200 and Ward 2 more than 19,200. Ward 4 had about 15,000. “The different scenarios will be identified and we’re doing research on them. We may have our own election committee,” Mr. de Rond says. “There could be a dozen different scenarios we could identify.” “Knowing we have a mayor and two Regional councillors narrows what our business will be. “There’s a lot of different sce- narios,” he states, such as Regional councillors being elected at large or increasing the number of local councillors. He says work will have to begin this fall, because he’d like the work completed and approved in 2008. “Then that will allow us plenty of time to be prepared by the 2010 election. “The ward boundaries are the same ones we’ve had for 15 years,” he says, adding that in the future, one ward can’t have 25,000 resi- dents while another has 15,000. He says a report will go to coun- cil, probably not until the fall, on possible scenarios. *CruiseratesareinCanadiandollars,perpersonandbasedoncategory4A.Offerisnon-transferable,andhasnocashvalue.Farecodemustberequestedtoreceivepromotion.Governmenttaxesandfeesareadditional for all guests.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 8, 2007 PAGE 19 A/Pdurhamregion.com Billboard JUNE 8, 2007 Teenagers talk about the impact of SALEP program By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Even after Stephanie Cottrell’s house recently burned down near Ta unton Road and Ander- son Street in Whitby, school was on her mind. Her story was one of sev- eral youths presented to members of the Durham District School Board’s standing committee June 4, on how the Supervised Alternative Learning for Ex- cused Pupils (SALEP) pro- gram helped them. The program is autho- rized under the Ministry of Education and its criteria includes being a student age 14 or 15 experiencing attendance problems from personal challenges and registered in the Durham District School Board. “I get to see my friends all the time, it’s been a long time since I’ve called some- one a friend,” said Stepha- nie. She said the program has boasted her confidence and now she goes to school every day and feels smart. She added it has an amaz- ing ability to make every- thing seem positive. Toni Martin of Hampton said before attending SALEP she thought everything was bad and skipped school to hang out with her friends. “Everyone treats each other with respect and I’m actually liking to come to school now,” said Toni. “SALEP has changed my life around, before I was drinking, doing drugs, steal- ing and skipping school,” said Toni. She added she’s stopped skipping and stealing and is working on the drinking and drugs. Jyssie Kent of Oshawa said the school helped her with academic and person- al issues and she’s been ac- cepted by everyone. “In my time at SALEP I feel like I have accom- plished more than I have at any other school,” said Jesse Cameron of Whitby. He said teachers and staff have been there for him through everything, emo- tionally and academically. “I’m sad to be leav- ing SALEP now, but really happy for all the new people who are going to be going there,” said Jesse. According to a staff re- port, SALEP offers a com- munity-based learning pro- gram with two classes in Os- hawa and one in Pickering, a teen parent program of Durham Alternative Educa- tion, Durham Alternative North for north and rural students, and the indepen- dent study option, includ- ing a job search and paid employment. Some of the concerns stu- dents entering SALEP may have include mental-health issues, young offender charges, substance abuse, family issues, gender iden- tity and social issues, pov- erty, low self-esteem, and inability to self-motivate. “Sometimes what SALEP does is slow your life down enough to figure out what’s wrong,” said Ajax Trustee Marilyn Crawford, the board’s chairwoman. She thanked the students for sharing their stories. “The stories we have heard are really testimoni- als to your success,” said Ux- bridge Trustee Joe Allin. Data from 2006-2007 shows there were 89 SALEP applicants as of May 10, 2007, with 47 girls and 42 boys; 61 Grade 9 students and 28 Grade 10; 13 14-year- olds and 76 15-year-olds; 30 identified students; 62 with diagnosed and report- ed cases of mental health concerns; 10 with poverty issues and transportation concerns; and six young of- fenders. For community based learning programs, there were 50 Oshawa and 26 Pickering referrals. S N EW Ritson Rd.Bloor St. E.

Ajax looking for artistic expressions For more on this story By Chris Hall chall@durhamregion.com DURHAM — An anony- mous tip led police to lay charges after discovering someone had dumped the remains of an inground pool alongside a Scugog roadway. Durham police have charged a Durham Region man with a single count of mischief regarding an inci- dent that was first brought to the Township’s attention on May 24. According to municipal officials, large chunks of concrete from an inground pool, com- plete with a set of stairs, were found along the side of Old Simcoe Road, just south of the Scugog Line 10 intersection on that day, and then reported to the municipality. The illegal dumping of the pool remains were re- ported in the local media, We dnesday, May 30, and an anonymous phone call was placed to the Town- ship the next day. From there, municipal bylaw of- ficials passed along the tip to Durham police, says In- spector Bruce Townley of the North Durham Com- munity Police Office. “We were approached by bylaw (officials) with regards to the incident... (who) had information on an inground pool that was taken and disposed of on Old Simcoe Road,” says the inspector. That tip took authorities to a residence in Scugog on Friday where the owner confirmed that they had paid a man to remove a pool. “With the co-operation of the property owner we identified the items left on the side of the road were in fact materials removed from the residence,” says Insp. Townley, noting the suspect was hired to re- move the old swimming pool. “As a result of the co- operation, that lead us to identifying (the accused) with the property owner’s assistance.” As a result, Glenn Hayes of Claremont is facing a charge of mischief and also faces one count of de- posit refuse on a highway, under the Township’s by- laws. Samantha Sarasin, a municipal bylaw officer, says Scugog officials will be seeking the maximum fine of $5,000. “It was quick, someone read the paper... it was a great thing that they read the paper and felt the need to report it. If they hadn’t, we’d still be looking for somebody,” she says. The Township, she con- tinues, will be taking a “zero-tolerance” attitude towards illegal dumping in the future. To w nship officials esti- mate it cost about $1,500 to clean up the mess left on Old Simcoe Road nearly two weeks ago. By Lesley Bovie lbovie@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A little am- bition and a lot of drive can put you on the same track as someone like Joey Mc- Colm. That was the message de- livered to Grade 8 students visiting Henry Street High School’s technology de- partment for the first time recently. The NASCAR rookie who drives for Team ATTO in the Canadian Tire Racing Series, brought with him his red Dodge Avenger. “A couple of years ago I just got out of high school myself,” he told the group from feeder schools like Sir William Stephenson Public School, R.A. Sennett Public School, West Lynde Public School and E.A. Fairman Public School. A former technology stu- dent at Ajax High School, the 20-year-old encouraged them to take advantage of co-op programs that offer valuable work experience. “I hunted around a lot and finally had to drive 45 minutes to find a shop,” he said. “My goal was to become a racing car me- chanic.” Mr. McColm, who stud- ies civil engineering at Ry- erson University, said his love of driving began when he was young and his dad took him to the races. He began driving in entry level races at the age of 14 with a Honda Prelude his dad purchased for him. This is his first year driving full-time with his best fin- ish so far being eighth. Te chnology teacher Tom Foster credited the driver with being able to balance university with a budding racing career. “It is possible. You can manage those two things,” he said. “It’s there. It’s at- tainable. You just have to have the drive.” Students took turns hop- ping into the drivers’ seat of the $1,500 race car and get- ting autographs from the driver. Mr. McColm races next on Father’s Day at the Mos- port road course.

As a result, prudence is the watchword when working or relaxing around the pool. When installing a pool, ensure that the distance between the pool (and accessories) and the elec- tric wires connected to your house is at least 4.6 metres (15 feet). Consult a master electrician. When you clean the pool, ensure that the equipment handles remain at least 3 metres (10 feet) from electric wires. Never use electrical equipment or appliances such as a radio, TV, or tele- phone near water. For added security, use battery-powered units or connect them to an outlet equipped with a dif- ferential circuit breaker. STAY BACK, at least 3 metres.

Soon they will penetrate the residential market, and eventually replace regular light bulbs. They’re extremely long lasting with 50 to 100 times more light and 50,000 to 100,000 more hours.” LED lights will be constructed for every type of lighting to fit the style in your home. Rey-Barreau says: “There’s no singularity to style. I call it populism, a continuing major trend that’s going on. It’s a diversifi- cation of styles because there’s a style for every person, and everyone can get what they want.” You can learn what works best, what the trends are, and what to avoid with a qualified lighting design consultant from ALA.

He prides his company on fast, neat and efficient service. He also prides himself on his troubleshooting ability. “I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Some- times that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely necessary.” Gordon adds: “An interior weeping tile system with drainage board can be extremly efficient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping.” “Homeowners should invest in their foundations,” Gor- dons says “Water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one. Catch it early enough and you could possibly save yourself a fortune.” “No job is too big or small,” he says, adding he will promise you a fair and objective evaluation of the problem.

Basement waterproofing professionals home SWEET home • Advertising Feature Go green to get green By News Canada With talk of global warming at every turn and announce- ments of programs to support and reward homeowners who undertake energy-saving initiatives, there is a push for Ca- nadians to upgrade to more efficient, environmentally sound homes. Under the retrofit program the government expects ho- meowners could receive a grant of up to $5,000 based on the efficiencies that can be realized in their home. The real benefit though is long term savings in energy costs that you can achieve year after year. Many people want to take advantage of the potential for thousands of dollars in savings, but don’t have any cash earmarked for renovations. “We have a lot of people renego- tiating their mortgage to get the money they need to make improvements in their homes. It just makes sense in the long run, when you look at the energy savings and the increase in resale value of the home,” says Mortgage Alliance president Michael Beckette. A qualified energy advisor can assess your home for po- tential energy savings, and an independent mortgage profes- sional can help you determine your best financial options for making the necessary upgrades and advise you of mortgage programs created to benefit homeowners undertaking energy efficiency upgrades. Three months after injury in a hockey game, Tony Oxley looks to give something back By Chris Hall chall@durhamregion.com DURHAM — As soon as he hit the boards and collapsed to the ice, Tony Oxley knew something was wrong. For nearly four decades he has laced up his skates and played competitive hockey and over those years, Mr. Oxley estimates he’s slammed into the boards at the Scugog Arena and fallen to the frozen surface “thou- sands” of times. But on the cold morning of Feb. 18 this year, some- thing was different. Chasing the puck down the ice during early-morn- ing Scugog Hockey League action, Mr. Oxley’s skate caught an edge on the ice which lead him to fall “awk- wardly” into the boards. “As soon as I hit the boards, I felt something like a shock go from the top of my head and then down my back,” says Mr. Oxley. “And then I felt nothing.” Crumpled on the ice, he recalls sitting on the frozen surface trying to direct his legs to move. “I kept thinking to my- self, ‘I have to get up. I have to move my legs now and get up.’ But I couldn’t. I had no feeling in my legs,” says Mr. Oxley. “That was really weird.” Fortunately for Mr. Oxley, a Port Perry native who just recently relocated to the Ashburn area, a pair of paramedics were on the ice as well. Teammate Brad Meekin, as well as Brett Laycoe, a player on the op- posing squad, were quickly at Mr. Oxley’s side and as- sessed the situation. From there, he was whisked away to the Port Perry hospital, where he re- ceived “excellent, excellent care,” and, within an hour, was airlifted to Sunnybrook in Toronto. A series of quick exami- nations, however, revealed the bad news: Mr. Oxley fractured his T12 vertebrae, rendering him an “incom- plete paraplegic.” Simply, he retained some motor sensory skills from his waist down, but there were no guarantees he would ever walk again, let alone take to the ice. Warned by a physician that his chances of walking again were slim, Mr. Oxley was shuffled off to the Lynd- hurst Centre on Feb. 22 to begin the long and pains- taking process of rehabilita- tion. With such a daunting task ahead of him, Mr. Oxley admits to nearly breaking down out of fear for his fu- ture. “The first three days there, it was a real shock. I didn’t know how I was going to live, how I was going to work. I couldn’t sleep at night because I didn’t know what the next day would bring,” recalls Mr. Oxley, 46. When it came time to start his rehab work, Mr. Oxley’s first task was to work on his upper-body strength in preparation for his days in a wheelchair. It was at that point in his life, admits Mr. Oxley, that he learned a very valuable lesson about life with a dis- ability. “I never realized what challenges there are in liv- ing with a wheelchair,” says Mr. Oxley. Day trips out and about while he stayed at Lyndhurst, continues Mr. Oxley, certainly were a learning experience. “It was the biggest eye- opener,” he says. “Trying to get through doors and shopping with a basket in your lap and moving from place to place. It’s a process that always makes you think ahead about what you want to do and where you want to go.” Day after day, Mr. Oxley worked away at both his rehabilitation and prepar- ing for his life ahead, in a wheelchair, thanks to daily get-togethers with others already in wheelchairs. “This is an everyday routine for these guys, but for me it was a whole new world,” he says. All the hard work, how- ever, finally paid off on the morning of April 9. “I woke up in the morn- ing and swung my legs over the side of the bed. It was amazing,” he recalls, smiling at the thought. “I couldn’t move my legs for two months and suddenly I had some feeling in them.” After another month of rehab work, Mr. Oxley left the Lyndhurst Centre -- and his wheelchair -- behind. Now, in the weeks follow- ing his release, Mr. Oxley says his legs, hips and feet are still quite sore. But, those pains are better than the alternative. It is the events of the past three or so months that have lead Mr. Oxley to want to give something back to those who remain at fa- cilities such as Lyndhurst. Wheelchairs and other nec- essary equipment are very expensive, bringing about Mr. Oxley’s desire to make a donation to the Canadi- an Paraplegic Association (CPA). That’s where Rob Scott, a good friend of Mr. Oxley’s since childhood, comes in. With a fundraising golf tournament already in the works for June 22 at Sunny- brae Golf Course in Prince Albert, Mr. Scott has added Mr. Oxley’s name to the original two beneficiaries -- the Port Perry Minor Hock- ey Association and the Port Perry Hospital Foundation. There is a charge of $100 per player to participate in the tournament, which in- cludes greens fees, dinner and prizes. Hole sponsors and prize donations are still being accepted. There will be a shotgun start at 1:30 p.m. For more information, to reserve a tee time or to make donation, call Mr. Oxley at 905-410-6211 or Mr. Scott at 905-985-5192.

Durham students receive arts bursary By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — This year, there were some chang- es in the Kent Farndale Bursary. Instead of one young person being chosen for the award, there were two. And instead of $600, they each got $750. On May 31, musician Kevin Drennan and visu- al artist Steven Woodruff were awarded the bursa- ries by Kent Farndale in the gallery that bears her name at Scugog Memo- rial Library. “Most years, it’s diffi- cult to choose,” she said of the decision made by a special bursary com- mittee. “This year we have two winners. That shows how difficult it must have been.” Woodruff, 21, is going into his second year of the three-year glass pro- gram at Sheridan Col- lege. He’s a glass blower, Venetian style, with a background in sculpture, which he’s studied in New York and Italy. He’s a graduate of Sheridan’s art foundations pro- gram. Currently, some of his work is on display at the Ontario Crafts Coun- cil’s gallery on Queen Street West in Toronto, a display entitled A Secret Life of Sand. “I am so excited,” Farn- dale said when present- ing Woodruff with his award. “You are about the first fine craftsman we’ve had receive the bursary.” “We’ve been collect- ing glass for many years,” Farndale said of herself and her husband Doug. “I hope some day to have something of yours in my collection.” “I’d be happy too,” re- plied a smiling Wood- ruff. He said the bursary will allow him to buy some essential equip- ment and perhaps some coloured glass for his work, examples of which he brought with him. He said he was studying sculpture when he fell in love with glass. Farndale said Dren- nan, just finishing Grade 11 at Port Perry High School, is well known in the community for his musical talents. He is the accompanist for the Choral De Lites and plays the piano at Utica United Church, where the people “think you are just the berries,” Fa rndale told him. He also plays trombone and sings too. He intends to study music at the university level once he completes high school. “He has got talent and is more than willing to share it for many, many causes,” Farndale said. Drennan, who played keyboard before and after the ceremony, said the award is “a great op- portunity” and a sign of the wonderful support he’s received from the community. “What I’d love to use (the award) for some summer lessons,” he said. Farndale thanked the many donors who give to the bursary, including the late Hazel Wallace, who just days before she died, made sure she gave Farndale her usual cheque. The bursary, named for Farndale on her re- tiring from the post of heading up the Kent Farndale Gallery for 10 years, is given to Scugog residents involved in the arts.

Each of the students received $750. AJAX NEWS ADVERTISER 905-683-5110 Whodunit? Dinner Theatre with a MurderousTwist! THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 8, 2007 PAGE 29 Pdurhamregion.com By Jason Chamberlain Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — Local resi- dents got some education to go with their shopping 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 future generation’s ability to meet their own needs,” said Shawna Mutton, co- ordinator of community sustainability for the city. The program has five ob- jectives, all of which were represented with informa- tion booths where people could learn more. The ob- jectives -- healthy society, healthy economy, healthy environment, responsible consumption and respon- sible development -- all tie in to the ultimate goal of making Pickering a better place socially, economi- cally and environmentally. “We want them to work with us towards a more sustainable community. We have to conserve. If we can make the environment healthier, it will be better socially. And economical- ly, it will bring more resi- dents and businesses to our community,” said Ms. Mutton. Lorna Murphy, market- ing director for the mall, was happy to be involved with 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 alternatives to pesticides. 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 respon- sible 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 im- pact 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. 113 Byron St. N. 905.668.2299 ANNOUNCEMENT The Staff at Byron Classic Salon in Whitby would like to welcome Carlo to their team!

Chargers’ solid OFSAA run ends with silver medal Robinson wins silver medals despite illness By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — Brandon Robinson can only wonder what could have been if he had been in good health at his first-ever National Trampoline and Tu mbling Championships in Regi- na. The Grade 9 Pickering High School student was suffering the ill- effects of a head cold, which not only sapped his strength, but also affect- ed his balance, critical to performing his trampoline routines well. “I had to maintain my balance and stay in the middle of the tram- poline,” noted Robinson, 15. “I had to work past (my illness).” As it was, Robinson earned two silver medals at nationals, placing second with partner Ryan Soloman in the national novice men’s synchro tramp event. He also won team silver with the Ontario trampoline team. On individual trampoline, he placed fourth in his age group. Although disappointed at being in less than tip-top health at his first na- tionals, Robinson nonetheless was pleased with his efforts in Regina. “I was happy with my perfor- mances. Although I was sick, I was glad with the outcomes,” says Robin- son. Moreover, Robinson was ap- proached at the national by Canadi- an trampoline coach Dave Ross who applauded his efforts at nationals, although he didn’t know Robinson had been under the weather. Robinson will now turn his atten- tion to the Canada Cup trampoline event in Hamilton in August. A solid effort there will qualify him for the World Age Group Championships in Quebec City in November. If all’s well with his health, Robin- son says he’s confident he’ll be able to qualify for worlds. “I know what it takes to go there. I’m confident I’ll be able to do it,” he says. Robinson has trained at the Sky- riders Trampoline Place in Rich- mond Hill, which is one of the top training ground of Canadian Olym- pians in the sport. The Skyriders is the home club of Olympic silver and bronze medallist Karen Cockburn and bronze medallist Mattieu Tur- geon. He trains there four days a week for just under two hours each ses- sions during the competitive sea- son. Next season, Robinson plans to jump up into the youth elite national level. The division typically has com- petitors up to age 17.

The Durham Region champion Monarchs were one of 16 teams at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) ‘AAAA’ senior girls’ soccer cham- pionships. The Monarchs were seeded 14th for the tournament. The senior Monarchs’ aspira- tions to move on to the playoffs were dashed on Tuesday after ending Pool ‘B’ play with a 1-1-1 record, which wasn’t enough to be one of two qualifiers from the division to advance to the quarter- finals. St. Mary head coach Scott Mc- David says a sub-par effort against the second-seeded Notre Dame of Burlington in pool play was the dif- ference. “We had one bad game which cost us the opportunity to advance,” says McDavid. “However, we had a great season and we are very proud of what the girls accomplished this year. We are already looking for- ward to next year.” The Monarchs dropped a 4-1 decision to Notre Dame in their second game at OFSAA, which was the team’s first loss of the season. Erin Small had the lone Mon- archs’ goal. St. Mary also played to a 2-2 draw with eighth-seeded Our Lady of Mount Carmel of Mississauga. Morgan Killam and Christina Pat- erson scored for St. Mary. The Monarchs finished pool play strongly, hanging a 6-0 drub- bing on East York Collegiate from To ronto. Small led the way with a two-goal effort. Paterson, Nicole Renouf, Shannon Foster and Kath- leen Crandles also scored for St. Mary. The Monarchs finished their season with an overall mark of 10- 1-1. Te am members are strikers Erin Small, Nicole Renouf, Natalie Di Quattro, forward Laura Barbara, midfielders Kayla De Sousa, Ellie Foden, Shannon Foster, Gaetana Gianfriddo, Morgan Killam, Chris- tina Paterson, Jennifer Valadao and Chloe Giordano, defenders Kathleen Crandles, Natalie Guest, and Tiffany Allen, sweeper Briana De Sousa, stopper Chelsea Gor- don, and keepers Tori Ashe and Stephanie Michalicka. Joe Visconti is the assistant coach; the manager is Karen Michalicka. Soccer Monarchs come up short at OFSAA Submitted photo The St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs senior girls’ soccer team fell just short of the playoff round at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic As- sociations (OFSAA) ‘AAAA’ championships in Vaughan.

Here, an Ajax player kicks the ball toward the net during first- half action. The Strikers prevailed 5-0. AJAX — The Ajax Pumas boys’ under-10 soccer team won a tight match in overtime to cap- ture its age-group title at the recent Orangeville Storm Front Tourna- ment. Facing the Brampton East Red Devils in the final, the Pumas trailed 2-0 with about 10 min- utes to go. Ajax wouldn’t give up, however, and was rewarded with two rapid-fire goals by Jorden Wilkinson and Yannick Lee-Hon-Siong – the first goals the Brampton team had given up all weekend. Regulation time ended in a 2-2 draw, leading to sudden-death overtime. Overtime went back and forth until a clever free kick from Nashon Campbell found the back of the net, giving the Pumas their first ever tournament crown. The Ajax boys were solid in the round robin, winning two and tying one, with the standout goalkeeping of Martin Salmanton leading the way. Their sole loss was 5-0 to undefeated Bramp- ton, the same team they’d face in the final. Te am members are Matthew Fesiak, Tyrique Daley, Jorden Wilkin- son, Brendan Man- ning, Nashon Campbell, Fawad Nasser, Yannick Lee-Hon-Siong, Mathew Wo olley, Cuauhtemoc Flores, Christopher Elms, Connor Purdy, Martin Salmanton, and Holden Drakes-Graham. Jose Flores coaches the team assisted by Linden Wilkin- son. The trainer is Mark Purdy, and the manager is Andrea Woolley.
