Durham released the case on Friday and Regional staff officially presented it at a joint finance and administration-works committee meeting Wednesday. Finance commissioner Jim Clapp said the Region took a conservative approach to preparing the business case and the federal gas tax would be a good way to finance the facility. “(We) have this golden opportunity to control our own destiny relative to the disposal of our garbage,” he said. The uncertainty of fuel costs and land- fill fees once the Michigan border closes in 2010 are the biggest disadvantages to landfill somewhere in Ontario as opposed to incineration, said the business case prepared by financial analyst from De- loitte. According to the report presented to councillors, the energy-from-waste facil- ity would cost just under $200 million to build, with Durham responsible for just more than $155 million. If federal gas tax dollars are used to pay off the debt for the construction of the plant, it will take six years to pay off the Durham portion of the building costs. After that, incineration would be cheap- er than landfill, projects the business case. By using the gas tax dollars, residents would see a one per cent property tax increase in 2013, but that would be re- covered in subsequent years when the property tax impact of incineration would drop. “It’s very clear to everyone in this room that the business case does benefit the taxpayers of Durham and the impact on the taxpayers is minimal at best,” said Re- gional Chairman Roger Anderson. But whether the gas tax dollars -- which can only be used for infrastructure proj- ects like waste, water, sewer and transit -- should be used for energy-from-waste was one of the key debates during the meeting. Members of the public who spoke said they disagreed with Mr. Anderson’s as- sessment.

Incinerator clears next big hurdle ✦ Read our editorial, page 6 ✦ See Councillor, Page 2 “That is absolutely wrong. Those dollars would have been used for other projects,” said Barry Bracken. Some members of council also dis- agreed, including Oshawa Councillor April Cullen. “Don’t look at this with blinders on and forget about the other things that are out there that are also priorities, including transit,” she said. But Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce said the gas tax dollars should benefit every- one. “Waste is about the whole region, doesn’t matter if you’re rural or urban,” she said, pointing out that only a small percentage of residents use transit. The business case now goes to Regional council on May 28. If it’s passed, the Region will put out a request for proposals from the five ven- dors pre-qualified to build and operate the incinerator. The business case debate The Look The $9 million in the building costs al- lotted for enhanced architectural features came under fire. “If you really want it looking good, why don’t you put it in a hole and bury it so we don’t see it all,” asked Oshawa Coun. Brian Nicholson. But others, including Regional chair- man Roger Anderson and works commis- sioner Cliff Curtis, argued a generic build- ing wouldn’t do. “I don’t think anyone wants to see a Wal-Mart-style building go in there,” said Mr. Curtis. The Viewing Gallery The $1 million viewing gallery was also questioned. “These viewing galleries often serve the vendor more than the public,” said Linda Gasser, a member of the public speaking against the business case. The Region said it would be similar to what nuclear power plants do to educate the public. “They criticize us for hiding things, they criticize us for showing things, some peo- ple better get on the right side and figure out what they want,” said Mr. Anderson. The Math Coun. Nicholson believes the costs as- sociated with landfill, especially the pro- jection of an annual five per cent increase in the price of fuel, have been inflated. He thinks current prices are driven by specu- lation. But others say the business case is cau- tious. “It really is a conservative, conservative business case, probably the most con- servative we’ve ever done,” said Deloitte analyst Remo Bucci. Health Some took issue with the business case stating energy-from-waste (EFW) is safe and healthy. “By no means is an accounting firm an expert on the environment or human health,” said Oshawa Coun. April Cullen. But others, including Oshawa Coun. Joe Kolodzie, pointed to the existence of 420 energy-from-waste facilities in Europe as evidence that they’re safe. “If it’s OK for them, why wouldn’t it be OK for us,” he asked.

At the meeting, coun- cillors discussed whether or not it’s worth funding a portion of road improve- ments taking place for the development of San Fran- cisco By the Bay. For the mixed-use resi- dential development to go ahead, the Region of Durham asked developers SR&R Bay Ridges Ltd. to re- place portions of the sani- tary sewer on Wharf Street, Front Road and Douglas Avenue. When work began in the winter, it was too wet to finish, and now the entire roadway from curb to curb has to be replaced. At SR&R’s request, City staff and its consultant Tot- ten Sims Hubicki Associ- ates (TSH) met with SR&R and its consultant the Ser- nas Group to review the cost-sharing agreement between the two. The road restoration - on Wharf Street, Front Road, Browning Avenue, Doug- las Avenue and Annland Street - will exceed what was already approved for the development. City staff recommended the development agree- ment with SR&R be amend- ed to include the road cost- sharing agreement, which council passed. The Sernas Group es- timated road work would cost $192,000 while TSH guessed $105,000. The City then proposed a cost of $152,000, but at the coun- cil meeting, Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson introduced an amendment that would bring the City’s portion up to $175,000, which council passed. “What we’re getting here in my opinion is an awful lot of work done,” he said. The sooner the develop- ment is built, the sooner Pickering will benefit from the tax dollars it’ll bring in Coun. Dickerson said. Pickering would be im- proving the roads on its own initiative anyhow in the next four or five years, and prices will greatly in- crease by that time, he said. Staff wrote in its report the restoration should last 20-to-25 years in its entire- ty. Mayor Dave Ryan did not support Coun. Dickerson’s amendment. He agreed San Francisco By the Bay is good for the community, and said an extra $23,000 is not a large amount. But he said the extra money is not an amount he feels is detrimental to whether or not the project goes ahead. “We’ve got an obligation to our partners and share- holders in our corpora- tion,” he said, referring to the taxpayers. The money - which will not exceed $175,000 - will be allocated in the 2009 roads capital budget, but won’t be spent until it’s ap- proved.

But it languishes on Simcoe Street South with attendance “not nearly what it could or should be,” according to its board chairman, Jack Innes. On a recent beautiful afternoon, the mu- seum sits empty, save for one employee. Mr. Innes flips on the lights in the exhibit area to host a tour. The museum itself is entirely self-supporting. What little government funding the museum used to qualify for dried up some time ago, Mr. Innes said. Formed in the 1960s by a group of area businessmen, the museum’s building is owned outright. Rentals from two parking lots adjacent the museum as well as interest from an endow- ment, help with operational costs. “Sadly, it doesn’t leave anything for much be- yond keeping the door open,” Mr. Innes said. Those doors are open 364 days a year, closed only for Christmas, and once people actually get through them, it’s sometimes hard to get them out, said the board’s president. “Once they get in here, they’re quite inter- ested and impressed,” Mr. Innes said. “Often a man will come to the doors with his wife and quite often he’s waiting for her at the end of the trip.” The vast majority of the vehicles in the build- ing were donated over the years. In fact, “barely a month goes by that we’re not offered a car,” said Mr. Innes. The problem is space -- even now, the mu- seum board is having to mull over a possible donation of another Rolls Royce. Space is tight and there’s no money for ex- pansion. The museum spans two floors in what was the original site of Ontario Motor Sales. The vehicles housed there span an even greater expanse. “Not only are they spread over a long time period but over all aspects of society,” he said. Take for example, one of two Silver Ghosts -- the car often associated with The Great Gatsby. Originally Lady Eaton’s personal car, the mu- seum acquired the 1912 luxury vehicle -- one of three purchased by Lady Eaton that year -- from another foundation in the 1980s. “It’s a pretty important Canadian car,” Mr. Innes said. Next to it is another Silver Ghost, this one, a 1914, originally belonging to the president of Imperial Tobacco in Montreal. “To find two Silver Ghosts together is pretty rare,” Mr. Innes said. Contrast those with a surprise found on the second floor -- an example of the mass-pro- duced K-Car. But even it’s special, in it’s own way. This one is one of the oldest K-Cars “in the universe,” one of the first few pilots off the line when Chrysler started building the K-Car, Mr. Innes said. And though masses of them were made, the cars themselves are special. “It’s one of the most significant cars in North American car history,” Mr. Innes said. “It was an admission that we had to build cars like the Japanese. The K-Car turned it around for Chrys- ler.” While the cars gleam, a result of elbow grease from an employee who regularly keeps the cars at their shining best, the building is in need of some repair. But given current attendance and funding, there’s not money to fix the big things. “It’s fairly hard, takes a lot of austerity,” Mr. Innes said. “We don’t spend anything we don’t have to.” A jewel in the Motor City crown in need of some polishing Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Jack Innes laments that with no government funding, the Canadian Automotive Museum doesn’t have money to do much more than keep the door open. Every car has a story The stories associated with the cars housed by the Canadian Automotive Museum are as var- ied as the vehicles themselves. Here are a few of them: A yellow Rolls Royce Silver Ghost: This particular car may have led two very separate lives, Mr. Innes said. “We fully believe it was com- mandeered by the British govern- ment during the First World War,” he said. It’s believed the actual car body was lifted off and replaced for war purposes. “It may have spent the First World War as an ambulance or a truck,” Mr. Innes explained. There’s also a royal link. “We have a picture of a prince in that car in 1917,” he said. A 1909 Ford Model T: “It’s thought to be the first Model T built in Canada,” Mr. Innes said. It’s hard to trace it exactly though, he said. “The records are pretty sketchy.” A 1950 Oldsmobile: The vehicle, which was owned by a woman named Helen Van Dusen in Bowmanville, holds an example of the “first viable automatic transmission.” It was a necessity for Ms. Van Dusen, who spent her life in a wheelchair, a result of polio. “She used to pick up kids at the (Bowmanville Training School for Boys) and take them up to Mosport,” Mr, Innes said. Officials at Mosport would “let her drive around the track.” Incineration offers best long-term solution I t’s been an issue which has galvanized public opinion throughout Durham Region for the past few years. The decision about what to do with our non-recyclable trash once the option of trucking it to Michigan ends in 2010 has become one of the most important choices we must make for our collective future. Many have argued we should aim for blue boxing or green binning all of our garbage -- the so-called zero-waste option. While it’s a nice dream, it’s unlikely over the short term we can possibly hit that utopian target. There are also arguments we should search out landfill options beyond our region’s borders. Even assuming we can find another Ontario locale that would take our garbage, we are really just moving the prob- lem, not solving it. That leaves us with the realistic alterna- tive of building an energy-from-waste facility in Clarington where we can send all of our non-recyclables for the foreseeable future. The business case to build the incinera- tor, at a cost of $198 million, was recently presented to regional councillors and sug- gests that, over the long term, incineration may be a cheaper option than out-of-the- region landfill. Such a made-in-Durham solution would use federal gas-tax rev- enues -- which have recently been guaran- teed by the feds -- to construct the facility. An energy-from-waste facility would elimi- nate the need to pay heavy landfill fees, not to mention the ever-increasing gasoline costs we would incur to ship the garbage hundreds of kilometres away. No solution to eliminating our garbage will ever satisfy everybody. It’s a dirty prob- lem, one we created ourselves and one which we must solve ourselves. Provided that the energy-from-waste process passes all the remaining hurdles it faces on the way to approval, we believe it offers the best solution to the long-term problem of get- ting rid of our non-recyclables. We encour- age the Region to do everything it can to increase the amount of blue box and green bin material we divert from incineration. And because the incineration process requires trash to keep it viable, it’s neces- sary to make sure any other municipali- ties searching for garbage solutions in the future pay Durham a premium if they choose to use our facility. Since we’re put- ting up the lion’s share of the money, Dur- ham deserves to get paid if others want to use our facility.

CEO Mark Yakabuski suggests that the present rules of having to have seniors over 80 be automatically tested every two years, which also includes the doctor having to report any medical condition which might hamper their ability to drive, is not suffi- cient in his mind and that a more “sophisti- cated” approach is needed. As a senior, I have to say, I don’t need to smoke a few joints or drink a gallon of beer to prove I’m a better driver. I obey the law and have more than 50 years of experience driving. I feel I will know when I’m inca- pable of driving anymore and don’t need any of these people changing the rules in order to save more money for the already very solvent insurance companies. Also, what about the company rewarding seniors for their safe driving habits? I’m calling on all seniors to write to your MP, to prevent these people from imposing more restrictions on us seniors and taking away another part of our quality of life.

P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 23, 2008 durhamregion.com But owners must act responsibly G inger is a good dog. Really, she is. My family’s mutt is great with children, but not so good around other dogs. That’s why my parents have never brought her to either of the two leash- free dog parks in Ajax. Ginger stays on a leash at all times. She’s able to run in the backyard and my dad and brother (the ones who can handle her strength) take her on regu- lar walks. She’d love to run on her own, but my family doesn’t want to run the risk of her possibly hurting other dogs, or herself. If an off-leash area for dogs is to be successful in Pickering, it’s important dog owners know their animal’s behav- iour and what types of boundaries it needs. The majority of dogs are sociable animals and Pickering council should approve the park. But it’s going to take a lot of co-opera- tion and logical thinking from Pick- ering’s residents in order for it to run smoothly. At a public meeting on the topic last week, Nicole Scarlett, who’s been work- ing for two years with a group to get an off-leash area in Pickering, emphasized the importance of residents obeying Pickering’s current responsible pet ownership bylaw: dogs must be on a leash at all times (the only excep- tion would be inside of the park if it’s passed). Even when dogs are on their way to the proposed park, owners must wait until the dog is safely inside the enclosed area before letting it off the lead. They’ll also have to clean up their dog’s doo-doo. There’s nothing worse than stepping in dog dung. The City, in the $30,000 set aside in the 2008 budget for the park, will provide proper recep- tacles for dog feces. Please take advan- tage of them. If council does approve the park, it’ll only be for a six-month trial period. It’ll be up to the working group to keep the park in good, clean order. But it also won’t hurt for residents using the park to help out too. The working group has worked tire- lessly alongside Pickering Animal Services to establish this park and it’s only right that residents who enjoy the park show the City, and working group, respect. Dogs are great companions. We want them to stick around for a long time, and like humans, exercise is an impor- tant factor in prolonging their lives. In order for most to get their needed car- diovascular exercise, they need to run free. Pickering council should allow them to. But dogs like Ginger just might have to stay on a leash so they won’t ruin all the fun. Kristen Calis’ column appears every third Friday. E-mail kcalis@durhamregion.com. Kristen Calis Pickering needs to establish a leash-free dog park By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — It was a lot harder than it should have been for Denise Difede to get her kids identified as learning disabled. She’ll share what she learned about the process with those attending the May 29 meeting of the Learning Dis- abilities Association of Durham Re- gion. The free event features a showing of ‘My Different Life’, the documentary on Ms. Difede, her three children with learning disabilities, and the journey to get them identified. She’ll be answer- ing questions afterwards. “I was the perfect target for it because we were just starting to go through the school system,” said Ms. Difede, whose children are in the Toronto District School Board. She said having a diagnosis of atten- tion-deficit hyperactivity disorder was not enough because the school board didn’t recognize it as a learning dis- ability. “It’s not just them either,” Ms. Difede said. Her children had to get a psycho edu- cation assessment done and after three years on the public waiting list, she had it done privately, which comes with a ballpark cost of $2,000 to $2,500. “Which is really out of the finan- cial reach of many people,” Ms. Difede said. The documentary followed Ms. Difede and her children for two years and collected 70 hours of footage, sometimes while her kids were having meltdowns. It captured the process, testing how the system was supposed to work, how it actually was working, and the difficulties encountered. She advises people to bring a pen, questions, and take notes at the meet- ing because they’ll have a lot of infor- mation available. The Learning Disabilities Associa- tion of Durham Region meets at St. An- drew’s Presbyterian Church, 35 Church St. N. in Pickering Village (Ajax), from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., the last Thursday of every month.

Following the immediate resignation of Leah Myers, an executive meeting was scheduled Thursday night, May 22, to start plans for establishing a presidential search committee. “We obviously want to move as quickly as pos- sible,” Mr. Simmons said, citing the start of the new school year in September. The search committee will likely be formed in the next few weeks. The group is to be created by the Dur- ham College board and a company hired to find can- didates. The process typical- ly takes three-to-six months and can go quite quickly if they get some really good people, he said. The search committee then narrows down the candidates and conducts interviews until they’re down to one person who will be offered the po- sition, Mr. Simmons said. “We’re really confident we’re going to get some first-class people,” he said. Durham College is ex- periencing an increase in enrolment and shares its campus with a university. “We are the talk of edu- cation,” Mr. Simmons said, and added they’re the role model for post-secondary. “If I was 30 years younger I’d apply,” Mr. Simmons said. In the meantime, Don Lovisa accepted the role of interim president follow- ing the resignation of Ms. Myers on May 16. She held the position for two years and was previously the ex- ecutive lead at the Ministry of Research and Innovation. Prior to her appointment, Ms. Myers worked with Bob Rae on his post-secondary review report as the execu- tive director of the Secre- tariat that provided the re- search, policy, consultation, communication and project support. Mr. Simmons would not comment if her resignation came as a surprise or on any other details involved. “Out of respect for Leah and her decision, I don’t think it would be appropri- ate for me to comment on her reasons for leaving,” Mr. Simmons said. Mr. Lovisa, vice-presi- dent, academic, joined Dur- ham College in August 2007, and was previously dean of the School of Business, Hospitality and Media Arts at Confederation College in Thunder Bay. He has a mas- ter’s degree in international management, a bachelor’s degree in sociology, and a diploma in adult education. Mr. Lovisa started his career 21 years ago as a small busi- ness advisor for Confedera- tion College. Although he can’t speak for Mr. Lovisa, Mr. Simmons said he hopes he applies for the college president posi- tion.

The Ajax-based B’nai Sha- lom V’Tikvah synagogue has reached the milestone age and celebrates with a Bar/Bat Mitzvah on Sunday, May 25. The synagogue began in 1994 and now has 55 fami- lies and about 150 mem- bers. The original rabbi was Daniel Gotlieb, who is now with Temple Kol Ami in Thornhill, and the current rabbi is Jerry Steinberg, who brings a background in psy- chology and theology. President Ron King says members are excited about the “little synagogue that could.” The congregation has used St. Paul’s United Church in Ajax to hold ser- vices. As for having it’s own building, “we’re working on it. It’s expensive. We’re having meetings and doing studies,” said David Cohen. There are about 1,700 Jewish people living in Dur- ham Region. “Growth is key to our suc- cess. We’ve not yet reached everyone in Durham who is Jewish and I want to see continued growth and for the synagogue to make its presence known in Durham and into east Toronto,” said founding member Harley Saltzman. “The bottom line is that it’s our goal to grow mem- bership, take on a more ac- tive role in the community and to be the Jewish voice for Durham. We will con- tinue to celebrate and host religious festivals, services, Torah services, Hebrew school and celebrate and honour life-cycle events,” Mr. King said. “We are truly a close-knit group and there is much fondness, kindness and caring among our con- gregants and into the Dur- ham community.” The synagogue has worked with other faiths in Durham, Mr. Cohen said. “We’re really involved, coming together and help- ing other countries.” For the event, there will be a Bar/Bat Mitzvah cele- bratory service, followed by a party and dinner. The cel- ebration is at St. Paul’s Unit- ed Church, 65 Kings Cres., Ajax, starting at 6 p.m. and the cost is $25 a person. Among those invited to attend the celebration are Ajax Mayor Steve Parish, spiritual leaders from other reform synagogues in the GTA and Sharon Sobel, the executive director of the Ca- nadian Council of Reform Judaism.

Catholic school board gets approval for skills majors RSS UPDATESRSS UPDATESGet your local news and sports faster newsdurhamregion.com Town approves large building on Harwood By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX — Setting aside hun- dreds of acres for employment purposes is paying off for Ajax. The Town approved a site plan for an industrial development put forward by Higgins Develop- ment Partners. Council’s community affairs and planning committee ap- proved the plan on Monday. Committee members heard the company plans to construct six buildings on Harwood Avenue, north of the Sentinel Self-Stor- age site. The six buildings would total more than 647,000 square feet (60,132 square metres). The first building would be al- most 102,000 sq. ft. (about 9,500 sq. m.). Construction of the first build- ing would be completed by early next year, said Gary Muller, the Town’s planning manager. Higgins bought 47 acres from O’Shanter Developments, which had tried to have the land con- verted to residential use. The Ontario Municipal Board supported O’Shanter, but the Town took the matter to court where the OMB decision was set aside. Ajax has fought to retain land that’s designated for employ- ment purposes. “We’re looking forward to this development proceeding,” said Delis Lus, senior vice-president of Higgins. The “goal is not to attract 24- hour operations,” but rather in- dustrial uses operating from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., he said. “It won’t be self-storage.” The first building is being constructed on “speculation,” Mr. Lus said, meaning Higgins doesn’t yet have a buyer or ten- ant. “It will be clean use as op- posed to a heavy industrial use.” The buildings could be leased or sold, he said. “Our program allows us to do both. To date, 75 per cent of the interest is to purchase.” He couldn’t estimate the num- ber of jobs that could be created by the development, Mr. Muller said. “It depends on the usage. It’s difficult to speculate at this point.” “The residents to the west are quite excited about this,” said Ward 2 local Councillor Renrick Ashby. “I’m very pleased to see this brought forward. “We all know the struggle we had with this. This battle shows there is a market for employ- ment lands,” said Mayor Steve Parish. Higgins will be “motivated” to market its properties, the mayor said. “All of council looks forward to seeing the buildings built.” “I’m grateful, after 17 years, something is happening in the area. I’m quite excited,” said Wards 1 and 2 Regional Council- lor Scott Crawford. “I hope this has a domino ef- fect and we see more employ- ment development in the future,” Coun. Crawford said.

The 33-year-old man is al- leged to have touched the vic- tims, a three-year-old girl and a boy aged five, and taken photo- graphs of them at Trinity Pente- costal Church at 900 King St. E., Durham police said. A suspect was arrested May 15 by sexual assault unit officers. Detective Laurie Rushbrook said that while the investigation is ongoing, police don’t believe there are more victims. “I’m fairly confident it’s iso- lated,” she said. “But there’s still a lot of work to be done on this file. There’s still some unan- swered questions.” The accused man was known to attend Trinity Pentecostal on occasion but was not considered a member of the congregation and held no position of authority within the church, Det. Rush- brook said. Police are being sparing with details -- indicating only that the assaults occurred over the past year -- due to the young age of the alleged victims, she said. It’s alleged the man touched the children inappropriately and also took pictures of them in various stages of undress. There’s no evidence the pho- tos were shared or published, Det. Rushbrook said. It’s believed the children knew the suspect, she added. A person who answered the phone at the Trinity Pentecostal Church Wednesday would not comment on the allegations. Shane Knarr, 33, of Blackthorn Street in Oshawa is charged with two counts each of sexual assault, sexual interfer- ence and voyeurism. He’s also charged with a single count of making child pornography. Mr. Knarr appeared in court May 16 and was released on bail with his parents and brother act- ing as surety, police said. He’s been ordered to live at the Black- thorn Street address under strict bail conditions. He’s scheduled to appear in court next June 2.

But there’s still a lot of work to be done on this file.’ -- DETECTIVE LAURIE RUSHBROOK newsdurhamregion.com Watch video at newsdurhamregion.com V I D E O S O N L I N E Dave Ryan shows his ease with horses By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Although two much- loved horses, Blue and Cinder, left Wind- Reach Farm in Ashburn a few months ago, a 22-year-old rider with cerebral palsy has gotten pretty used to a new addition to the farm, Cortina. “She listens to me really well and she’s a really good horse to ride,” Michelle Wilder said in an interview. The 42-hectare WindReach Farm in north Durham helps people with disabili- ties or special needs participate in out- door activities such as farming and its therapeutic riding program. When the program lost two horses that were on loan after their original owner sold them earlier this year, $10,000 had already been set aside for WindReach from the annual City of Pickering Mayor’s Gala. And when Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan heard about the loss, he offered to replace them. A couple of weeks ago, the farm official- ly announced its new residents as a result of the donation: Cortina and Houston. Mayor Ryan was thrilled to see Michelle ride and said it reinforced the need to support worthy organizations like Wind- Reach. “When Michelle is on the horseback, the entire focus is on her riding abilities,” he said. “You just see a young woman en- joying the freedom and joy that horseback riding entails; that’s what it’s all about.” Michelle’s reasons for riding -- something she does three times a week -- are simple. “It’s just a lot of fun and I just find it very relaxing and just fun to do,” she said. Michelle’s mother, Leann Wilder, at- tended the event and said without such charitable donations the program wouldn’t be possible. “They just help the program so much,” she said. Leann said her daughter has done well in dressage competitions with Cortina. They have won two second-place rib- bons and they’re awaiting the results from another two competitions. Cortina and Michelle will also participate in the 2008 Ontario ParaSport Summer Games in July. Leann was impressed not only by Mayor Ryan dedicating his time, but also by his ease with horses when he hopped up on 19-year-old Houston. “He did really well,” she said. “Houston behaved really well.” WindReach is fully accessible and offers a number of activities and programs.

At their grand opening, cus- tomers will find that The Backyard Living Center is a one stop shopping destination for their backyard living needs. They offer pools, hot tubs, BBQs, outdoor kitchens, a full water chemistry lab with a certified lab attendant, patio furniture, gazebos, solariums, saunas, pool accessories and more! During the grand opening celebration, everything in the store is on sale! It’s the perfect time to get started on creating a yard you’ll want to spend all summer in. The store motto is “Let’s Take It Outside!” and they help their customers do just that. They have well trained staff who are able to assist their customers in building their back- yard from start to finish. They listen to what you deem to be the perfect yard and then make suggestions from their wide range of products to meet your personal desires. “When you come into The Backyard Living Center, we want to be able to deliver the complete yard of your dreams,” says Stewart. “It may start with a hot tub, pool, BBQ, or waterfall but over time we can offer you an integrated package of products that complement each other and your lifestyle. We started The Backyard Living Cen- ter because we thought that people were attempting to spend more time at home as opposed to the cottage due to the high costs of cottage ownership, travel time to and from cottage country, and the ever rising cost of gas and ever increasing traffic on the highways,” says Stewart Risto, owner. The Backyard Living Center has, in stock, a wide selection of hot tubs from three major manufacturers: Cal Spas, Master Spas, and Softub. They have spas available at every price range. There are 13 spas in the showroom with four running models. They carry unique products, including Universal Rocks, a line of realistic artificial rocks, One Touch Patio umbrellas, Cal Flame BBQ islands, outdoor gas fireplaces and fire pits. The large display of Napoleon BBQs and patio heaters will help custom- ers find one that fits their needs perfectly. “Whatever your backyard dreams are, whether it be cooking a great meal on a marvelous grill, jumping into your pool for a refreshing swim, relaxing to the sounds of a waterfall, or soaking in a hot tub after a long day at work, we want to be the place that provides you with the necessary equipment to do so,” says Stewart. The Backyard Living Center also has relationships with reputable contractors to ensure their clients have every service they need available to them.

Avoid using abrasive cleaners and very strong liquid cleaners which could damage the paint or cause delaminating. If you have a steel garage door, you can revive its luster by applying a car wax as it will protect against acid rain and dust. It is best to avoid waxing in direct sunlight to achieve better results. EXTERIOR WEATHERSTRIPPING Clean the weatherstripping with a good all-purpose cleaner. Lubricate it every two to three months with a SILICONE-based lubricant. Never use a petroleum-based lubricant on weatherstripping as it will dry up and crack. Don’t forget the weather- strip between your door panels. It is important to let your weatherstrip hang a half inch below the door base when you readjust your perimeter weatherstripping. If the weatherstripping is too tight, the door will not function properly. So if your weathestripping has lost its flexibil- ity, it is best to replace it. HARDWARE Lubrification: Lubricate the rollers, tracks and hinges and all moving hardware parts with a little motor oil (e.g. 10W30) every three months. Wipe off excess oil with a cloth. As for the springs, use the same oil applied with a cloth.You are not only prolonging the spring’s life, but also reducing the noise the springs make when the door is operated. According to Dan Hill from Autograph Door Sys- tems, at least once a year, home owners must check the following: • the sturdiness and adjustment of the hinges; • the rollers for worn-out ball bearings, flattened rollers, and crooked rods; • the tracks for premature wear and tear, loose bolts, and loose supports; • the cables for wear and tear; especially near the pulleys and the lower support (corner bracket). GARAGE DOOR OPENER Depending on the model you own, consult the manu- facturer’s guide. If you want to add some white grease on the operator track, again you must first clean the track. By oiling all the mobile parts you will reduce the noise initiated by the motor. If it is still too noisy for your liking, then nylon rollers would help reduce the noise. RELEASE CORD Pull on the trolley release cord and operate the door manually. Is it difficult to open and close? The electric operator only replaces manual operation, therefore it must move freely. If you have trouble operating it, con- tact your Garaga dealer. A well-balanced door must not weigh more than 10 lbs (4.5kg). For your safety as well as your child’s, check the automatic safety reverse system of the door opener EVERY MONTH. SPRINGS Do not attempt to adjust the extension or torsion springs yourself. They are wound very tight and only a special- ist should adjust them, for your own protection. FINAL ADVICE Consider your garage door as an important part of your home. With appropriate annual maintenance, it will operate beautifully. Ask a qualified Garaga Dealer installer to lubricate and adjust your garage door at least yearly. In a 10 step check-up, he will lubricate all the above mentioned parts and perform any required repairs. To find out more about Garaga Dealers visit: www.garaga.com.

Mr. Berkeley runs www. eating4eternity.org and his wife, a trained nurse and nutritional coach, is the business product, teaching people a holistic approach to wellness. He was one of more than 500 attendees at last week’s Destination Suc- cess, a day of educational sessions, one-on-one busi- ness coaching and a gov- ernment services and mar- ket tradeshow. Mr. Berkeley attended the entire day of events at Destination Success, paus- ing from the day of learn- ing only briefly to call his wife and rave about how much he was learning. He said it was too bad his wife couldn’t come with him but she was home caring for their baby. He said he wrote furiously throughout the day, taking notes on ev- erything he could possibly want to tell his wife about. “I loved it, this was so good, there was so much good information,” he said. He said he was also able to use the day for networking, finding a mentor amongst one of the panelists from the education tutorials. Even for those who al- ready have their business up and running the day proved they were doing things right. Nancy Wensink owns an auto repair shop fran- chise. She attended educa- tional sessions throughout the day. “I am either doing what they say I should be doing or I am about to implement the strategies they suggest,” she said. “It’s good to know I am on the right track.” Jennifer Morrison, man- ager of economic develop- ment for the Town said she knew there was a demand for a day like this in Durham when she realized she was getting 10 people a month into her office asking for help starting a small busi- ness in town, wondering what government services were available to them. “It evolved from that,” she said. But she said she didn’t imagine the first-time event would be as popular as it was. There were more than 140 booths at the tradeshow and 100 people were on a waiting list to have a booth. Mentorship times were full and even filled up when more were added, she said. The feedback so far has been amazing, she said. “I have already had 27 e-mails from people say- ing they really hope we will do this again,” Ms. Morri- son said two days after the event. The planners attracted at- tention in innovative ways, like using facebook to regis- ter people for the individual mentoring times, she said. Mayor Pat Perkins opened the day addressing a large crowd. The first ses- sion was so busy Ms. Mor- rison said the mayor had to be squeezed through all the people there to learn. “This was a great idea,” said the mayor. “And she (Ms. Morrison) did a great job of pulling it together.” She said the initiative is an important one for Dur- ham. “We need to help busi- nesses survive and these things do help,” Mayor Per- kins said. 6kV^aVWaZBdcYVn";g^YVnjci^a'eb PICK ’N PAIR LUNCH COMBOS UBHOJUSBU4 Choose from over 60 combinations AJAX 155 Kingston Road East (across from Costco) To Go 905-426-6440 23 locations across Canada durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 24 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 23, 2008 Small- and medium-sized business owners get lessons on success On the agenda FOR THE ENTI R E N E X T Y E A R !

The play has been staged count- less times and the tale has made it to the big screen a few times. I re- member going with my high school English class in 1968 to see Franco Zefferelli’s lush version, starring 17-year-old Leonard Whiting and 15-year-old Olivia Hussey as the classic “star-crossed lovers.” Dur- ing the love scenes, the dialogue was lost beneath the whistles and catcalls of the hormone-charged boys in the audience, boys who quieted down once the fight scenes appeared only to talk through the “boring” bits. In other words, the rest of the play. In 1996, it was Leonardo Di- Caprio and Clare Danes as the young lovers in a dark version heavy on gangs and gang warfare. It’s that violence inherent in the play that interests Jeremy Smith, artistic director of Driftwood Theatre Group, which is staging ‘Romeo + Juliet’ (the plus sign is Driftwood’s addition) this year in parks throughout Durham and be- yond. Driftwood staged this play in its second year, with Smith acting in it. Now in the 14th year, he’s direct- ing it and wants to examine the violence, the tragedy of the story, more closely. He said he is “not only fasci- nated by the intensity of their ro- mance, but equally by the way in which Shakespeare counterpoints their journey with over-arching themes of hatred and violence. “Everybody in their life gets frus- trated with ‘Romeo and Juliet’. It’s so pure and so altruistic,” he said. “Many people have a romantic no- tion of what ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is about. We forget it’s couched in quite a fair amount of violence and tragedy. That’s what makes the ro- mance more potent. It’s the quality we’ll be exploring in the play.” Smith is not revealing anything more about how Driftwood will stage the play but the group is known for its innovative, fresh takes on Shakespeare’s works, both tragedies and comedies, that make them relevant to modern audiences. Smith said the idea of a fresh perspective is not to “improve” anything but to do things a bit dif- ferently. “We’re really, really going for a very specific feel,” he said. “I think our audience has come to expect something different in the way we approach Shakespeare and that’s what they’ll find.” There will be subtle changes and cuts to reinforce the conflict, to juxtapose the love story and make it more potent and bring out rel- evance in light of “increasing acts of violence experienced in youth culture today. That sense of vio- lence was strong in Shakespeare’s day and has resonated through every time, every culture, every society between then and now.” Working and living in Toronto, Smith has been exposed to that sense of violence. “It’s a little terrifying,” he said. “Some of that danger and thrill in a certain level finds its way into Romeo and Juliet.” Smith is working with drama- turge and text editor Toby Malone on the editing of Shakespeare’s work, which Smith says is un- equalled in capturing “the true essence of the adolescent experi- ence... framed on one side by the intensity of burgeoning sexuality, and on the other by the explosive nature of hatred and violence. “He has created... a love that is so archetypal that it cannot exist. If they live, they would have ended up being like Juliet’s parents ... or it would have been cut short.” It’s a view of young love as “pure, unchecked, unadulterated sense of need and raw emotion for an- other person that literally cannot be maintained. It really is compel- ling and I think the people we have drawn together to tell the story are exemplary. I know these are the right kind of people who will do it and do it well.” The leads are played by Beth- any Jillard, who was raised and educated in Whitby, and has ap- peared with Driftwood for three seasons, and Benjamin Mehl, who appeared in last year’s Much Ado About Nothing. Also appearing are: Karl Ang as Tybalt/Friar John; Steven Bur- ley, 13 seasons with Driftwood, as Capulet; Mark Crawford as Friar Laurence; Christopher Darroch as Mercutio/Paris; Tabitha Keast as Lady Capulet; Sarah Machin-Gale as Montague/Nurse; Kyle McDon- ald as The Prince/Peter; Sabryn Rock as Benvolio. Jillard is having a stellar year, working with several well-known and up-and-coming directors and theatre groups and will be star- ring this spring as Rachel Corrie, a young American killed by a Israeli military bulldozer while she pro- tested demolishing of a Palestin- ian home in Gaza, in ‘My Name is Rachel Corrie’. Burley, a Driftwood favourite, will be appearing in an older role, a first for him. “I’m not giving Steven what Driftwood audiences have enjoyed of him,” Smith said. “This is not the fun part.” Behind the scenes, compos- ers Kevin Fox and Tom Lillington are back to create an a capella, musical soundscape for the pro- duction. Joining the design team are Sarah Armstrong, lighting de- signer and technical director Dan Gallo, Malone, fight director Todd Campbell. The production will be stage managed by Stephanie Na- kamura. The season opens July 15 with a gala at Parkwood Estate in Os- hawa. To attend this, you must purchase a ticket, which gets you cocktails and hors d’oeuvres be- ginning at 6:30 p.m. and a seat for the play. Tickets are $55 until June 15, $60 after June 15. The gala raises fund for Driftwood, one of the few remaining summer Shake- speare theatre groups in Ontario. Admission for other shows is pay-what-you-can although there’s a suggested cost of $15 per person. Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. Some shows include late night chats after the performance.

Foggy Hog Town Boys coming from Toronto for event By Jennifer Stone jstone@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Bands from all over Ontario and as far away as Quebec are set to take the stage during the 5th annual Orono Bluegrass Festival and Old Tyme Country Jamboree. The event is set for May 23-25 at the Orono Fair Grounds. And interest is high, said Dickson Ray- nard, one of the event’s organiz- ers. “We’ve sold over 100 trailer sites,” Mr. Raynard said. Last year, only 50 or 60 advance trailer sites were sold, though eventually about 150 trailers showed up. This year’s lineup includes a number of bands from near and far, including fiddler Mark Sul- livan from Bowmanville, Alicia Robiceau from Oshawa and the ‘Foggy Hog Town Boys’ from To- ronto. The festival has grown dra- matically over the years, largely by “word of mouth,” Mr. Raynard said. This year, 3,000 brochures have been sent out to bluegrass or- ganizations across the province and it is expected turnout will be good. Tickets are $35 for the weekend in advance and $45 at the gate. Day passes are also available for $10 for Friday, $25 for Saturday and $12 for Sunday. “People we talk to are really ex- cited about coming,” Mr. Raynard said.

He remembers picking up the telephone and hearing a voice on the other end offering him an opportunity to attend the Cam- bridge, Massachusetts institution. He stopped the caller and asked him to repeat it, just so he could fully digest what he had just heard. “They called me at home and I wasn’t ex- pecting it,” says DuCille, 19, a 10-year member of the Ajax Aquatic Club. “I picked up the phone and it was Harvard Uni- versity calling. My mom knocked on the door asking me who it was, so I wrote it down with magic marker and held it up. I had to hear it twice before I could believe it.” Although Harvard doesn’t offer athletic scholarships per se, it does provide financial support for stu- dent athletes. DuCille is pleased to be going to Harvard as much for studies as for swimming. “I consider myself very fortu- nate to have been given the natu- ral talent to excel in both athletics and academics. Luckily, the two seem to complement each other in the sense that success in the pool often motivates me to suc- ceed in the classroom, and vice versa,” he said. The Ajax resident notes he ex- changed one dream for another in making his way to Harvard in the fall. After graduating from Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School last June in the top five per cent of his class with an average in the 90s, instead of beginning his post- secondary studies he took a year off school to concentrate solely on swimming and a possible shot at making the Canadian Olympic team for Beijing this summer. But, after a strong Olympic Tri- als in Montreal in April, the strong sprint freestyler in the 50- and 100-metre distances as well as the 100m butterfly was on the out- side looking in for an Olympics berth. Undeterred, he’s prepared to compete for a spot on the Ca- nadian team for 2012 in London. “The Olympic Trials was mem- orable for me in that it opened my eyes to the quality and the depth of that quality when it comes to swimming in Canada. These guys are a cut above. I’m looking ahead to 2012 and I know what it’s going to take to be on the team.” But, as a fallback plan, Harvard’s not a bad alternative. In fact, DuCille had several Canadian and American school recruiters knocking on his door, including the University of Mich- igan, the University of Calgary, the University of Toronto, Colum- bia University and Harvard. But, the decision essentially rested between Harvard and New York City’s Columbia University. “Harvard’s facilities were far more impressive, and the quality and depth of the teams weren’t even comparable. Also, the Har- vard’s curriculum gave me more freedom to explore different con- centrations, whereas Columbia’s system was slightly less flexible,” said DuCille, who’ll study philoso- phy and pure math there. Also, when going on official vis- its of the two schools, it became clearer to DuCille Harvard was it for him. “When I left Columbia, I felt like New York City made more of an impression on me than the uni- versity itself...,” he said. “When I arrived at Har- vard, I was immediately taken by its old-world charm but, it wasn’t until the walk back from the pool on the second day of my recruiting trip that I had an overwhelming feeling of certainty that Harvard was the right school for me.” DuCille’s happy to re- port the myth that Har- vard’s a haven for upper-crust snobs is untrue. “Visiting the campus gave me a chance to dispel some of the myths about an Ivy League school. Coming from a humble back- ground, the idea of there being an air of snobbery and discontent on campus was a bit worrying. After getting a chance to meet a few students and members of the fac- ulty, I found the people at Harvard to be very welcoming and rather upbeat.” His arrival on the Harvard Crimson men’s swim team will be a bittersweet moment for DuCille, happy that he’ll be opening a new chapter in his career with a solid program, but sad to leave behind the Ajax Aquatic Club. “Although it’s saddening to have to close the book on this chapter of my life, I’m looking ahead to the fall with a lot of excitement and enthusiasm,” he said, adding he’ll still swim for Ajax at champi- onship meets during the summer months. Aquatic club head coach Matt Bell notes Harvard will be good for DuCille on all fronts. “He’ll be a good swimmer in their program,” said Bell of the sprint freestyle specialist. “He’s 19, so he needs to get into a situation where he’s uncomfort- able, where he’s forced out of his element, then everyone will see what he’s made of.” Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Nick DuCille earned an athletic-academic scholarship to Harvard University, where he will compete on the Crimson men’s swim team. ‘I consider myself very fortunate to have been given the natural talent to excel in both academics and athletics. Luckily, the two seem to complement each other in the sense that success in the pool often motivates me to succeed in the classroom, and vice versa.’ -- NICK DUCILLE Pickering players competing in U19 provincial championships Division 3 final goes Sunday in Ajax By Shawn Cayley scayley@durhamregion.com DURHAM — There will be no shortage of action for hoops enthu- siasts on the local stage this week- end. The 2008 Ontario Cup U19 Pro- vincial Basketball Championships opens up today with games played across the region from Oshawa to Whitby and Ajax/Pickering as 56 teams descend on the region. The Junior Men’s Division I con- sists of 16 teams with the favourite and No. 1 ranked seed Blessed Sac- rament slated to open the tour- nament on the campus of UOIT against No. 16 Ontario Youth in Action/Brampton Raptors today at 4:30 p.m. Tournament coordinator Heath- er LaFontaine acknowledges the cream of the crop is in Division I. But she’s looking forward to lead- ing her Whitby Wildcats team in ac- tion as the top-seed in Division II alongside two other local outfits. “Division I is going to be ridicu- lous,” says LaFontaine of the tal- ented teams expected to be in town today. “We’re No. 1 in Division II. The Saints are in Division II also and the Eastside Warriors are in Divi- sion III, so we should see some good basketball.” The Saints enter the tournament as the No. 12 seed in Division II and will face No. 5 YAACE #2 in their opener, which was to take place at Austin today at 6 p.m. The Eastside Warriors, built of mainly Oshawa and Pickering players are the No. 7 seed in the third division and will open up the tournament at Sinclair Secondary School in Whitby against the Kings- ton Impact. Other venues to be used over the weekend include Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School, J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate, Monsignor John Pereyma and G.L. Roberts.
