Ms. Williams has since reopened her business elsewhere, but Mr. McGregor simply can’t afford to do that. He said business owners were originally told it would only be a couple of weeks until they could go back in, and thought he’d be up and running before Christmas 2006, which ended up not being the case. “It all wouldn’t be so bad if all had burnt down at once,” Mr. McGregor said. “But the chain of roadblocks and red tape...set off a series of broken promises to my creditors and clientele.” They were finally allowed access to their units in late March of 2007 to remove what they could. By the time they could remove what was salvageable, which wasn’t much, they’d lost many long-time customers, as well as equipment resulting from winter damage when snow got in from a hole in the roof. It wasn’t until March of this year that the units were able to be leased again. “We’re personally hurting from all of this and it’s very emotional for both of us,” Mr. McGregor said. Ms. Williams, a single mother, said al- though she relocated, she’s in a terrible financial situation and has also lost a num- ber of customers. Her accountant put an $845,000 price tag just on the loss of income and lost assets she was “forced” to leave behind. Both said they’ve been given the “run-around” from the time the fire broke out, since there was a report from the clean- up company on the case that deemed it safe to go back in 15 days following the fire. “I went from being a completely debt- free company to plunging over my head in debt, and soon to lose my house,” Ms. Wil- liams said, adding the lifestyle she and her children once enjoyed is now the opposite, where she struggles to even send her son on a class day-trip. She also said financial papers she needs had to be destroyed. “I can’t go to the bank now for further fi- nancing because 14 years of paper are gone,” she said.

THE TRUCK STOPS HERE SPECIAL REPORT GM to take legal action to end blockade By Melissa Mancini mmancini@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — General Mo- tors announced Monday it is taking legal action to end the Canadian Auto Workers’ (CAW) blockade in front of its headquarters. A news release from the company said it would seek legal or collaborative means to end the protest. As of This Week’s deadline on Tues- day, the blockade still had not been shut down. CAW Local 222 president Chris Buckley said the an- nouncement was within the company’s rights. “That’s up to General Mo- tors. They have the right le- gally to file for an injunction and have us removed and we’ll just have to wait and see when that time comes,” he said. On Monday and Tuesday payroll and other essential employees from headquar- ters were allowed into the building. GM sent a list of workers deemed essential to CAW leaders on Monday morn- ing. They had to show iden- tification before protesters would allow them into the parking lot. “It’s our intention for the payroll people to come in so all of the hourly and salary employees across Canada get paid this week and any compensation packages relating to our benefits are intact,” Mr. Buckley said on Monday. Mr. Buckley was attend- ing a CAW conference in Toronto on Tues- day morning, but joined the picket line in the afternoon. An emergency resolution was to be passed at the con- ference Tuesday afternoon “supporting the actions here and supporting our truck plant membership,” he said. There have been fewer CAW workers occupying headquarters this week, with about 40-50 support- ers out each day. Last week hundreds of people stood at the blockade each day. Local 222 members started gathering near GM headquarters at 4 a.m. on June 4, creating a barricade across the street to prevent GM workers from reaching their office. Only employees of the nearby Minacs office were allowed through. The action started as a protest against GM’s announcement on June 3 that they would be closing the truck plant in 2009. The CAW is holding a rally to support Canadian manufacturing jobs on Thursday at noon. Support- ers will gather at noon in the Truck Plant parking lot off Park Road. Mr. Buckley said he hopes thousands of supporters will then walk up Park Road as part of the event. -- with files from Jillian Follert WE’VE GOT YOUR SIZE Sizes 4-15 Widths AA-EEE PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING !.4) 342%33 ¤ WALKING IN FASHION & STYLE BLINDS & DRAPERY “Your Window Decorating Centre” UNSHADEUNSHADESSSUNSHADEUNSHADES BROCK RD.HWY. 2 HWY. 401 BAYLY ST.WESTNEY RD.CHURCH ST.ELIZABETH ST.OLD KINGSTON RD.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 11, 2008 PAGE 3 A/Pdurhamregion.com CAW plans to intensify resistance to truck plant closing OSHAWA — About 50 en- gineers have been laid off from the engineering centre at General Motors. The layoffs “are part of the regular ebb and flow of con- tract work that takes place in the engineering centre” GM spokesman Stew Low said. The number of jobs terminated is “a little un- usual, but not unheard of,” he said. Work in the engineer- ing centre is project-based and when scheduled work is done then contracts end, Mr. Low said. Engineers laid off of Pickering, said Pickering Fire Services has to protect life, property and the envi- ronment, and in order to do so, serious precautions had to be taken. “It had nothing to do with them personally. There was a definite concern for public safety down there,” he said, adding the fire department had never encountered anything like it. He said it was unsafe for the tenants to enter their units in order to remove their equipment. “There was a big hole in the roof,” he said. “That part of the building was structur- ally unsound.” Mr. Fowlds said the fire department had to rely on chemical experts, since fire services doesn’t have that expertise. Involved in the process were the Office of the Fire Marshall Ontario, the Min- istry of the Environment, the Electrical Safety Author- ity, the Ministry of Labour and the Technical Standards and Safety Authority. “We had to rely on that and we did that from the start to the end,” he said. Mr. McGregor said he and Ms. Williams recently sent a letter to the City asking for compensation in order to avoid court, but said they may be forced to go that route. They’ve tried to conduct the matter in a business- like fashion, but the City has been “very evasive,” he said. “It would involve a class- action lawsuit of a mini- mum of 60 businesses,” he said, adding claims would range from $10,000 to $150,000 from each busi- ness involved. Chief Administrative Of- ficer Tom Quinn confirmed the City has received the let- ter and said it has been sent to the City’s legal depart- ment and insurance com- pany. He said Mr. McGregor and Ms. Williams’ situation is “really, really unfortunate, really sad.” C a l l 9 0 5 -4 2 0 -3 3 6 9 •1 8 0 1 V a l l e y F a r m R o a d , P i c k e r i n g ,O N ,w w w .c h a r t w e l l r e i t .c a *Some conditions may apply.

A handful of Ajax and Pickering residents picket- ed outside Cobourg’s Nor- thumberland Hills Hospital on June 6, the site of the Central East Local Health Integration Network’s (CE LHIN) latest board meet- ing. The board’s agenda in- cluded a draft report on the consolidation process of the Rouge Valley Health Sys- tem’s (RVHS) Mental Health Implementation Plan. On March 28, the LHIN board approved a plan to trans- fer 20 mental health beds at Ajax Pickering hospital to Scarborough Centenary. The transfer is slated before the end of the year. Rick Janson, an Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) member, said it is insensitive for the LHIN board to follow through with the bed clo- sures given recent job loss announcements at General Motors. The move will cut Dur- ham Region mental health beds by half, leaving 28 beds at Lakeridge Health Oshawa to service 600,000 residents, said Mr. Janson. He said the LHIN board refused to listen to local psychiatrists, the unions, the public and even patients who use the services and ignored nega- tive effects and hardships the bed closures will have on the community. With little consultation, the LHIN made a decision nobody supports, he noted. “We’re hoping to increase pressure on the LHIN to re- verse its decision,” said Mr. Janson. “How can the LHIN speak on behalf of the com- munity when everyone is dead-set against it?” He added OPSEU is taking the LHIN to court, claiming the LHIN failed to meet legislated public con- sultation and community engagement prior to the bed-transfer decision. CE LHIN integration con- sultant, Scott Macpherson who presented the draft report, told board mem- bers they are dealing with a changing world in health care, with fiscal restraints and new ways of service delivery, which is different than community interests of keeping health services local... “local expectations versus Ministry/LHIN expectations,” said Mr. Macpherson. Board member Jean Ach- matowicz MacLeod said, however, she is still very concerned about the bed transfer, “most concerned about the people that use the system.” Ms. Achmato- wicz MacLeod said with people losing their jobs at General Motors, Durham Region may face some seri- ous problems. The LHIN needs to keep an eye on the situation, she said, noting the region’s economic climate could have an enormous impact on Lake Ridge Health men- tal health services. “I would like to see how the move is working,” she said. “I do want to save money but I also want to know how people who need mental health services are surviv- ing the move.” “We (LHIN) have a ju- dicial review on our plate, which is stressful,” said Mr. Macpherson. “But it may have a silver lining - we’ll have to see what happens.” WebsiteDirectory Commercials Gold BookTalking Characters DO WE HAVE A BUNCH OF GREAT DEALS FOR YOU! the future at your fingertips today Gold Book is even better.

It’s not really GM’s fault. It’s a benevolent Canada’s for adopting the theory of trickle down economics. Pickering’s urban planning will have an impact on the wealth of its citizens during these arduous economic times. If Council’s priority is our financial well being it will adopt a moratorium on urban develop- ment north of Finch. 1980s trickle down economics theory: if a Third World country is allowed free access to our markets, their industry will prosper, trickle down to its workers, standards of living will increase and create new markets for Canadian manufactured goods. Welcome to 2008: the richest person in the world is Mexican, its workers still some of the lowest paid. Best in class JD Power awards are no match for demented trade policy. For honest hard workers there’s something trickle down all right and it sure doesn’t smell like money. Jim Flaherty states there are high-paying jobs in Toronto’s financial sector. A crass statement Pickering should pay heed to. High-paid professionals are the type of resident Pickering should be courting by developing the north side of Bayly, by the GO station, with sound condo develop- ment: retail ground floor, three floors of commercial, residential above and a 15- minute commute downtown. House values are under severe economic pressure. The large, car-dependent homes so common in Durham are already a hard sell. When the full economic impact of the GM debacle hits Durham it won’t be pretty. Into this mix Mayor Ryan and coun- cillors Littley, Johnson and Dickerson eagerly plot the development of Seaton’s thousands of new homes. A stunning dis- play of a misunderstanding of supply and demand and disregard of Pickering resi- dents financial well being. Ken Nash Pickering Justice system just like frozen tag To the editor: Many years ago kids played frozen tag. That was the one where if the IT tagged you, you had to stay in that spot until a free-roaming player touched you where- upon you were free to run around again. The game usually ended when the IT gave up. Did you know our over-worked police play the same game? They work hard investigating and catching criminals. When the felon is brought into court, some defence lawyer whines to a bleeding-heart gullible judge who promptly tags the crook with bail, and the admonition, “Report to the court for your trial.” Strangely enough, for the next two years, the same person can continue to rape, steal cars, deal drugs and abuse society at will. Stranger still: the judge is surprised when the guy doesn’t show up! Yes, it is frozen tag on a grand scale. What affect has this inept justice system had upon society? Well, each night it is good law-abiding people who lock them- selves in cells that resemble apartments, condos and houses. Meanwhile, the crimi- nals roam the streets. There is something wrong with this pic- ture. J. Graham Ducker O shawa Rotary Rib Fest was great To the editor: Just a note to say that I attended the Rotary Rib Fest on Saturday with friends from out of town and we were all very, very impressed. It was very well organized. In spite of the huge attendance, we did not feel claustro- phobic. The space was clean and relaxing. The atmosphere was friendly and secure. The ribs, chicken, pulled pork and corn were excellent. The pricing for everything was great and, last but not least, the weath- er was wonderful. I would like to warmly congratulate all who had anything to do with making that event the success that it turned out to be. Everyone that I have spoken to about it has echoed similar sentiments and looks forward to its successful continuation next year. Thank you for this wonderful addition to our community experience.

PAGE 6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ June 11, 2008P Honest, open dialogue lacking There has been a lot of turmoil during the past seven days stemming from the unexpected announcement of the General Motors truck plant closing in 2009. The Canadian Auto Workers union sat down with GM and hammered out a collective agreement three weeks ago. It was supposed to bring labour stability to our troubled automotive sector. But two weeks after it was signed GM dropped a bombshell by announcing the truck plant closing. Instead of building the Silverado in Oshawa, GM wants to transfer produc- tion to a plant in the U.S. and another in Mexico. Why was this not brought up during the collective bargaining process? It’s hard to believe that moving produc- tion south was an idea cooked up after the contract was signed. What has this serious lack of communication accomplished? A blockade of General Motors headquarters and a delay in production at the truck and car plants due to a slow moving convoy of CAW workers. Shame on GM for letting this happen. But the miscommunication doesn’t stop there. The CAW leadership ran a risk when it boasted to its members that it was marching down to Detroit to keep the truck plant open. Yes, it was what union members wanted to believe, but it was all for naught in less than 90 minutes. The ‘change-your-mind-or-else’ would have backfired had angry auto workers reacted badly to the inevitable announcement that GM’s mind was made up. Whatever you may think of GM or the CAW, the biggest communication missteps of all belong to Conservative MPs Colin Carrie and Jim Flaherty. Our MPs have not been visible since the GM announce- ment. Mr. Carrie’s idea of sticking up for his constituents is to send out Hansard transcripts of himself answering questions asked by opposition MPs during Question Period. Mr. Flaherty had time to visit the Brooklin Spring Fair, but that was as close as our finance minister would get to the blockade. Realistically, we don’t expect to see either of them at the front line where they would be nothing but targets. We do expect Mr. Flaherty and Mr. Carrie to do what leaders do in difficult times -- make themselves visible in the community, offer reassurance to the electorate and take it on the chin if they have to. These are tough times for Durham. The closing of the truck plant will mean a minimum of 2,600 job losses. Couple that with the loss of jobs that are sure to hit the struggling feeder plants and this region will feel the financial pinch come 2009- 2010. What we could really use now is an honest and open discussion about the future.

She was going through a messy separation, she’d lost her job after working as a secretary for 17 years and her unemployment had just run out. A neighbour on disability told her about the Adventist Community Services Centre Food Bank in Oshawa. She applied for help and found out she was eligible. “You really have to swallow your pride to go for the first time,” Brenda said. But she had four kids, ranging in age from nine to 19, and needed the aid. “It’s only supposed to be food for two or three days, but depending on what they give you, it could last a week, a week and a half,” she said. Brenda used the food and clothing bank for roughly nine months. Since then, she’s been to court and is receiving support payments for her children and has re-trained and re- ceived her real estate license. She is not alone in relying on food banks in tough times. According to Toronto’s Daily Bread Food Bank, about 25,000 people are served in Durham Region each year. There are about 29 emergency food providers in Durham, including many small operations running out of church basements. The Adventist Community Services Cen- tre is a large one and serves more than 600 people per month. Rob Putt, pastor of the College Park Adventist Church that runs the centre, said they get a mix of people who need temporary relief and people who will always need help. Statistics compiled by the Daily Bread Food Bank show 58 per cent of food bank clients in Durham said they have some form of disabil- ity and 22 per cent list the Ontario Disability Support Program as their primary source of income. But 23 per cent of households have at least one person working, earning a me- dian wage of just more than $12 per hour. About 44 per cent of households are receiv- ing Ontario Works. Overall, 40 per cent of food bank clients are children and 46 per cent of their parents said they could not enter the workforce due to the cost of and access to day care. Jason, who visited the Adventist food bank this month, said he’s on social assistance and only has $127 left over every month after pay- ing rent. A single father with an eight-year-old daughter, ge said access to the food bank makes a huge difference. He isn’t sure what he would do if it wasn’t available. “I guess I’d just be asking friends or family for a few bucks,” he said. He’s not alone. According to the statistics from Daily Bread, clients paying market rent spend on average 74 per cent of their income on it. Daily Bread said that anything above 50 per cent places someone at risk of homeless- ness. Heather Chalmers, project co-ordinator for Feed The Need in Durham (FTND), a newly incorporated non-profit organization, said the demand for food in Durham is rising be- cause of a combination of factors including rising food costs, a slumping economy and general population growth in the area. At the same time, food donations are dropping. “Across the board, the entire region has been hit hard with low food donations; the summer months are particularly low,” Ms. Chalmers said. It means stretching what’s available. The average food bank client can receive food for three days, once a month. “The provincial average is 10 days. Because the demand for food is so high, we only do three days,” said Ms. Chalmers, adding that some food banks ask clients to come once every two or three months when supplies run low. The Adventist centre shares its client list with other food banks to ensure clients aren’t accessing more than one per month. But the problem isn’t uniform. “It’s feast and famine,” Pastor Putt said. “Some weeks we have so much food we just have to give it away because we can’t store it.” It’s one of the reasons Feed The Need was set up, so the food could be shared and more equally distributed throughout Durham. “A lot of the community would donate to one or two food banks and that food wasn’t being shared through the whole Region,” Ms. Chalmers said. As well, grocery stores and logistics com- panies often offer to donate slightly damaged food to food banks. They supply items that are hard to come by through donations such as meat, dairy and fresh produce. However, the food needs to be picked up and stored and few food banks in Dur- ham have the ability to do that. Many of the smaller food banks don’t have cold storage facilities. As a result, FTND is looking for warehouse space within the Region so that food can be stored and distributed. Ms. Chalmers said ideally, the organization would receive an in- kind donation from someone who has extra warehouse space. If a warehouse is not found soon, large donations in Durham may be lost to other areas, such as Toronto, indefinitely. The FTND can be reached at 905-260-0059, or by e-mail at feedtheneed@rogers.com. For Brenda, things have come full circle. “Now that I’m on a different scenario, I’m now giving to them, donating clothes to them,” she said, adding she tells others to do the same.

The food pantry has been severely affected by the rising cost of food as have other food banks in Durham Region.

The head of DesRosiers Automo- tive Consultants Inc., in Richmond Hill, said he thinks the decision by Canadian Auto Workers presi- dent Buzz Hargrove to negotiate a deal with General Motors before the contract was set to expire this coming September was a mistake. The union should have had pa- tience and waited until September to negotiate, said Mr. DesRosiers. He said Tuesday’s announcement -- the closing of the truck plant in Oshawa -- had nothing to do with securing a contract with the union. It would have happened either way, said Mr. DesRosiers. He said the writing was on the wall for a move like this to down- size GM’s truck division, with truck sales declining rapidly. Union wants Auto Pact resurrected By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — As a blockade of General Motors’ headquarters continues, local MPs are shooting down calls from union leaders to resurrect Canada’s defunct Auto Pact. On Sunday, Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) union president Buzz Hargrove visited the protest site to show his support for mem- bers of Local 222, and to demand the federal government bring back the pact, which required manufac- turers to produce one vehicle in Canada for every one sold in Can- ada. Mr. Hargrove said that would help GM keep its Oshawa truck plant open instead of closing it in 2009 as was announced last week. The Auto Pact was established in 1965 to balance Canada’s trade deficit with the United States. The pact vanished in 2001 after the World Trade Organization said it violated global regulations for the movement of goods between countries. Oshawa MP Colin Carrie doesn’t support bringing it back, saying it would actually worsen the loss of manufacturing jobs. “Right now in Canada, we export about one million more cars than we buy, so we would have to make one million fewer cars and lose those manufacturing jobs,” he said. “Ninety per cent of the products made in Oshawa are exported to the U.S. Something like this doesn’t make sense when you look at the big picture.” 3%%+ CLARIT Y "53) . % 3 3 IS OUR MANT R A MAKE 35## % 3 3 YOUR S,AUNCHING *U LY 2EDE SI G N E D F O R TODA Y S B U SI N E S S 4HE N E W $ U R H A M " U SI N E S S 4I M E S F E AT U R E S R EL E V A N T AND TI M EL Y A R TI CL E S A N D T O PI C AL A N D I N SI G HTF UL C O M M E N T A R Y ON LOC AL I S S U E S ALL P A C K A G E D I N A M O D E R N N E W L O O K)N ADDI TI O N T H E N E W " U SI N E S S 4I M E S OFF E R S M O R E @ 1 UI C K (I T S OF INF O R M ATI O N D E SI G N E D F O R TI M E C R U N C H E D E X E C UTI V E S A S WELL A S @ $I V E R SI O N S T O M ULL O V E R A N D T E A S E Y O U R B R AI N DURIN G Y O U R B R E A K S "E A P A RT OF T HI S S P E CI AL E DI TI O N C ALL T O D A Y T O R E S E R V E YOUR S P A C E 3I T D O W N WIT H O N E OF O U R S AL E S R E P R E S E N T ATI V E S TO REVI E W W H AT W E H A V E I N S T O R E A N D l ND TH E B E S T PL A C E M E N T FOR YOU R A D V E R TI SI N G durhamregion.comP PAGE 8 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 11, 2008 Customer Care Centre 905.683.7575 Direct Access 905.420.4660 TTY Access 905.420.1739 cityofpickering.com VACANCY ON PICKERING MUSEUM ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Council of the City of Pickering is inviting applications from residents to fi ll a vacancy on the Pickering Museum Advisory Committee.

RIDE targets drinking, speeding DURHAM — One speeding motorist had his licence suspended, while several others were charged with drinking and driving after Durham police conducted RIDE (Re- duce Impaired Driving Everywhere) checks over the weekend. Officers stopped a total of 435 vehicles when they staked out roads near the Brook- lin Spring Fair, demanding 12 roadside breath tests and charging seven motorists with drinking and driving. Two drivers who registered a warning on breath devices had their licences suspended for 12 hours. Police also wrote several tickets for speeding, including one issued to a driver clocked at 112 km-h in a 60-km zone just 300 metres from the entrance to the fair- grounds. That driver was charged under new street racing laws and had his licence automatically suspended for seven days.

When:Tuesday, June 17, 11 am to 2 pm Where:Forest Brook Community Church, 60 kearney Dr., Ajax By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Saving energy can be as simple as flicking off a light switch or hanging the laundry out to dry, says a family that’s made conservation a way of life. Claremont residents Michael and Janet Rob- ertson shared power-saving tips during a tour of their home on Monday. The tour was organized to help launch the Every Kilowatt Counts Summer Sweepstakes program, which is offered by Verid- ian in partnership with the Ontario Power Au- thority. Veridian distributes electricity through- out Durham, except in Oshawa and Whitby, and George Armstrong, the company’s manager of regulatory affairs and key projects, joined the couple on the tour. The goal of the Summer Sweepstakes program is to get residents to reduce their electricity con- sumption by 10 per cent in July and August, compared to the same period in 2007. People who register and achieve the savings are entered to win prizes that include energy efficient major appli- ances. There’s also early-bird prizes for signing up. The Robertsons plan to participate and are already conserving energy through things like re- placing old light bulbs with compact fluorescent ones and using an insulation blanket on their electric water heater. They keep cool in the summer in their well-in- sulated farm house simply by keeping the doors closed during the hot parts of the day. “If you just keep the heat outside, it’s lovely, lovely cool in here,” Ms. Robertson said. The couple also unplug all small appliances and electronics like their television when they’re not in use. “It only takes maybe five minutes for the satel- lite and everything to program itself back,” Mr. Robertson said. Leaving those items plugged in creates a phan- tom load, using up to 10 per cent of a household’s electricity, Mr. Armstrong said. For more tips on reducing energy consumption and to enter the summer sweepstakes, he suggests visiting every- kilowattcounts.com. “We encourage people to look and see what they can do to challenge themselves, make it a family challenge,” he said. But aside from prizes and contests, Ms. Robert- son said there’s lots of good reasons to conserve energy. “We have children for one thing and we want them to inherit a world that is a quality world and we all share this Earth,” she said. The more people conserve in Ontario, the less reliant the province is on things like coal power plants to generate electricity during the peak summer period, Mr. Armstrong said.

RSS UPDATESRSS UPDATES Get your local news and sports faster at newsdurhamregion.com By Jennifer Stone jstone@durhamregion.com CLARINGTON — The announced truck plant closure at GM is all the more reason why new nuclear reactors should be built here, says Clarington council. Clarington had voted to write a letter to Premier Dalton McGuinty, indicating com- munity support for new nuclear reactors to be built at the Ontario Power Generation- owned site next to Darlington. An announcement is anticipated next week on where the new reactors will be built -- at Darlington, or at the Bruce Power site on Lake Huron. There, more than 10,000 names have been collected on a petition aimed at showing community support for new reactors at the Bruce site. Since the petitions were sent to the Prov- ince, a number of local groups, including Clarington council, Oshawa Mayor John Gray and the Clarington Board of Trade, have decided to write letters, indicating there’s a great deal of community support for the proposed project in Clarington, too. Between when Clarington first gave pre- liminary approval for the letter and Monday’s council meeting, the GM announcement came down. That prompts a need to add to the letter, said Regional Councillor Charlie Trim. The GM announcement, which could impact more than 2,000 workers, “has cre- ated total fear and panic” in the region, and the Premier should be made aware of the added urgency Coun. Trim said. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 12 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 11, 2008 Clarington provides another reason for new nukes in Durham ACADEMY OF DEFENSIVE DRIVINGwww.petersacademy.com Group Discounts Are Available (for 3 or more) Mini Package Available • 25 hours in-classroom instruction • 15 private in-car lessons on automatic • FREE pick-up at home • Courses start every week • Defensive driving instruction Learn Life Saving Skills Skid Control Evasive Maneuvers Braking Techniques • FREE progress report Card •EARLIER ROAD TEST ALL LOCATIONS 416-750-0472 PETER'S MTO Beginner Driver Education Course Provider An Installment Payment Plan For Your Convenience 965 Dundas St. W.

MY CHILD’S PROJECT IS DUE! Ways to work with your kids 4 3 SIMPLE STEPS T O TAK E CONTROL Be firm, fair and c onsistent 13 BY DANIELLE HARDER There are many good reasons to try to eat together as a family once a day. It’s a chance to slow down, connect and share everyone’s day. Increasingly, research is also showing family meals are better for children’s physical, emotional and mental health. According to a study published last month, families who eat together may have healthier kids in the long term. The fi ndings, which appear in the Jour- nal of the American Dietetic Association, suggest children who connect with their parents at mealtimes are more likely to have a healthier diet as young adults. The study followed 1,700 teenagers for fi ve years and found those who ate the most meals with their families tended to eat bet- ter as they got older, including eating more fruits and vegetables. This new research bolsters previous studies that found children who share a meal with family several times a week are less likely to smoke, drink alcohol, use drugs or become sexually active. They also tend to do better academically and have better mental health. Unfortunately, while science suggests families make more attempts to eat togeth- er, economic forces are working against them. According to Statistics Canada, workers spend an average of 45 minutes less per day with family members in 2005 than they did 20 years earlier. The length of the workday has also ex- panded, cutting into what was traditionally the family dinnertime. On average, Cana- dians now work about 30 minutes longer each day than they did a generation ago. Exacerbating the meal crunch is simply the fast-paced and full lives of many fami- lies today. Children are often involved in more extra-curricular activities and have more homework to get through each night, than their parents did as kids. So, what to do? Start by doing some ‘investment’ cook- ing: double a meal one night and freeze half for later or set aside one afternoon on the weekend to cook several meals that can be tucked away in the freezer for busy nights. Next, save yourself time by purchasing pre-cut vegetables. Yes, they cost more but you’re more likely to use them and less likely to be pitching out brown broccoli next week. Even onions – the most dreaded of kitchen chores – are available pre- chopped and frozen. A simple meal, such as bean burritos, can be whipped up in under half an hour. The family meal s till matters MAKE IT A TRADITION Sitting down each day for a family meal, whether it be breakfast or dinner, still holds a lot of value and importance for you and your children. Leadership in education What does it mean to be a leader? In today’s world we recognize that a real leader is a person of action and compas- sion, vision and insight, initiative and responsibility. At Trinity College School, the com- munity recently undertook a long-term planning exercise to understand how they can best prepare students to be leaders – leaders in their local and global communities, leaders within the school and, most importantly, leaders within their own lives. As a result of this community-wide planning initiative, Trinity College School has adopted a new mission statement: developing habits of the heart and mind for a life of purpose and service.

Originally, Regional coun- cillors were to consider en- dorsing the agreement at committee meetings on June 10, however, Durham works Commissioner Cliff Curtis said there’s still no consen- sus. “Staff couldn’t come to an agreement between Claring- ton and Durham staff, so it will need some political direc- tion,” he said. He added Clar- ington has a council meeting on Monday, so staff may get some direction then. Once the negotiations are complete, Clarington and Regional council would both have to approve it. “It likely won’t happen until the fall because the last (Re- gional) council meeting is a week from next Wednesday,” said Mr. Curtis. Even if Clarington was to approve an agreement on Monday, Mr. Curtis doesn’t think Regional councillors would be ready to endorse it on Tuesday. “This is something I wouldn’t want to do as a handout report to councillors, it’s not fair,” he said. If it’s not approved by committee, the agreement wouldn’t go to the last council meeting before summer break on June 18. The negotiations have been confidential and Mr. Curtis said he doesn’t expect the public to get a look at the agreement until it’s been ap- proved by both councils. Clarington Mayor Jim Ab- ernethy said his council will continue to meet every other week until July 14 and he’s hoping the issue will be re- solved as soon as possible. He added, if necessary, Clarington could hold special council meetings to deal with the issue, outside of the cur- rent schedule. “It’s an ongoing negotiation and there are some items that both sides are working on,” he said. Both Mr. Curtis and Mayor Abernethy said they couldn’t discuss the contents of the agreement since the negotia- tions are confidential. Mayor Abernethy also said Clarington was negotiating under the assumption that the site-specific human health as- sessment, to be released in spring 2009, would have a positive result. “I suppose you can say if it’s not positive, there won’t be a project and if there’s no project, there won’t be a need for a host community agree- ment.” In January, Clarington council passed a motion de- claring the municipality an unwilling host for the incin- erator. The host community nego- tiations have been underway for about a year. Clarington host community agreement may be delayed RSSRSS more updates at newsdurhamregion.com Just ask Sandra Patterson of Ajax who paid her carrier and won $1,000 in the Ajax/Pickering News Advertiser’s collection draw.

The story behind the first Father’s Day and celebrations that followed are testament to the high regard and appreciation held for fathers around the world. “For centuries, fathers everywhere have been strong role models,” says Jennifer Kinnon of Hallmark Canada. “These days, as fathers get even more involved in family life, it’s important to put them in the spotlight on Father’s Day and show how much you care.” The first Father’s Day tribute dates back nearly 4,000 years ago. A Babylonian youth named Elmesu carved the first known Fa- ther’s Day card in clay with a special mes- sage that wished his father good health and a long life. Father’s Day as we know it today, was first created by Sonora Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington. While listening to a Mother’s Day sermon, she was compelled to estab- lish a celebration for fathers as well. Dodd’s father, a widower and Civil War veteran, raised her and five siblings for 21 years after their mother died. Dodd encouraged local churches to institute a day of observance for fathers and chose June 19, 1910 as the first celebration since her father was born in June. Even though it was widely celebrated for decades, Father’s Day wasn’t officially recognized as a na- tional day of observance until 1972. From early on, many countries, including Canada, chose to adopt Father’s Day as a national celebration and with few excep- tions, most celebrate on the third Sunday in June. Around the world, families recognize fathers by spending the day together and showering them with cards and gifts as expressions of love and appreciation.

And without him as a role model, you wouldn’t be who you are today. “Father figures are the unsung heroes of our lives,” says Jennifer Kinnon of Hallmark Canada. “They deserve to be recognized for their contributions to our well-being. Father’s Day is the ideal time to honour them with gifts and cards.” Who are the father figures in your life? Grandfather You value his kindness and unconditional love almost as much as his stories. Big brother When you were kids he always watched out for you. And he still does. Favourite uncle He’s more than a familiar face at family func- tions - he really understands you. Stepfather He always seems to understand what you need from him. Family friend You just click. He’s always been there rooting for you. More ways to celebrate the father figures in your life can be found online at hallmark.ca. Father’s Day isn’t just for fathers It is not flesh and blood but the heart that makes us fathers and sons. Top 5 things every dad should have (NC)-Father’s Day is a great opportunity to show dad just how much he means to you. To help make it easier to find that perfect gift for dad, Canadian Tire has put together the following top five things every dad should have: 1) The latest technology in barbecues Make your dad king of the grill this sum- mer by surprising him with a barbecue with the latest technology in barbecues. Infrared cooking technology cooks food from the inside out to seal in moisture and flavour. It’s just like a high-end restaurant. Dad already have a barbecue? With every- thing from cedar planks, LED lights, cook- ing tools and remote control thermometers, there is something for every king of the grill this barbecue season! 2) The Right Tools For the handy dad, a weekend DIY’er or a dad who just likes to fiddle around in the workshop, tools with the latest technology are a must. Consider the latest and great- est in tools - the Mastercraft power xchange family of tools. This versatile set includes a NiCad drill, LED flashlight, Orbital jigsaw, Re- ciprocating saw, 6 1/2” circular saw, wet/dry vacuum, Li-on hammer drill and NiCad ham- mer drill. All which provide the right power to help get the job done right and have an interchangeable battery so dad only needs one battery to power up the entire set. 3) A Tool Organization/Storage System Investing in a storage system for dad is a great way to help keep his workshop or- ganized so he can complete his weekend projects faster and easier. With everything from hooks for power tools, drawers for screws and nails and workbenches with storage, there is something to keep every dad organized. 4) High Tech Memory Gadgets Keep the memories alive by giving Dad a digital camera. Whether he is a beginner or more advanced, there are a wide range of digital cameras that are user-friendly and have a slim design making them a great option for pictures-on-the-go. Another digital essential for dads is a digital photo keychain or a digital photo frame that displays photos in vivid colour in addition to playing movies and music too. 5) An Automotive Companion Dad sometimes lose his way? A GPS naviga- tional system will help ensure he gets where he needs to go by providing maps, directions and some units even warn of detours ahead or provide traffic reports - perfect for the dad on-the-go! durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 18 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 11, 2008 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 Royal Canadian Legion 606 1555 Bayly St., Pickering Bay Ridges 905-839-2990 Members come out and support your branch on July 1st 1:00 pm - Opening Ceremonies 10:00 pm - Open Horseshoe Tournament $5.00 entry fee - Trophies for the winners Kids Games!

DURHAM — Make sure you check your smoke alarms and carbon mon- oxide alarms as there’s been a volun- tary recall on both. The Pickering Fire Services is asking residents to check their Firex carbon monoxide and combination carbon monoxide/smoke alarms after the Maple Chase Company issued a recall. The malfunctioning component al- lows the alarms to go into a “double chirp” fault mode when in the pres- ence of carbon monoxide prior to the unit going into full alarm mode. The device must be taken out of ser- vice when this fault is present and can- not be reset. No incidents have been reported, but it puts consumers at risk of injury or death, said the fire service. Owners of the following alarms should contact Maple Chase imme- diately at 1-888-879-3906 to receive a free comparable replacement alarm and to make arrangements to return their old ones. The recall involves Firex branded 10000 and 12000 series alarms with the item numbers: 10000, 12000, 12000C, 12000-6, 12200, 12220, 12400, 12400C. The alarms were produced between June 1, 2007 and Feb. 1, 2008. A total of 16,000 were sold in Ontario. The Pickering Fire Services empha- sizes it is the law to have a working smoke alarm on every storey of every Ontario home and outside all sleeping areas. Customers affected by the recall or with questions are encouraged to call Maple Chase at 1-888-879-3906 or visit www.firexsafety.com/stepone.aspx Any questions regarding smoke/ carbon monoxide alarms or other fire safety issues call 905-839-9968 or visit www.cityofpickering.com Firex recall on smoke and carbon monoxide alarms Schools complete fitness challenge DURHAM — Local elementary schools know how to stay fit.

And on June 21, about 40 volunteers will put on the Country Homes and Gardens Tour for the Orphans of Africa. “Really, we’ve got most of the community groups involved,” she said. Ms. Doyle is a member of the Grandmothers Campaign, which helps Grandmothers in Africa, but this event will be put on simply by volunteers who want to help. All proceeds will go to the Stephen Lewis Foun- dation, and specifically to help children orphaned by the pandemic. “It’s an absolutely devastating disease, particu- larly in countries in Africa,” Ms. Doyle said, adding children are the future, and if they can be helped, there is a chance “things can be turned around.” Ms. Doyle said 13 million orphans live in Africa whereas there are only eight million kids in total in Canada. Although she may want to go to Africa one day, she feels her best work for the time being can be done from home, emphasizing although Africa is far away, it’s very possible to help from Canada. “We are so fortunate here,” she said. “We have so much. Our children have so much. And they (the children in Africa) have nothing, not even the necessities of life.” Offering her 20 years of experience in interior design, the event chaired by Ms. Doyle will allow ticket holders to get a rare tour and look inside some of Claremont’s most historic and unique homes. Four gardens will be on display and eight homes will open their doors. Included in the self-guided tour are Stonefields, a 96-acre farm dating back to 1863, and a 1950s home built of glass, steel and concrete, locally known as The Glass House. “We have absolutely beautiful homes up here,” Ms. Doyle said. Tickets also include a light lunch at the Cla- remont Community Centre, featuring African rhythms from the group Soul Influence. The tour is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 21. Tickets are $30 in advance or $35 the day of the tour and can be purchased at the Claremont Community Centre.

Al Rivett/ News Advertiser photos Musical has Southwood Park students SPELLBOUND Students, staff and parents work overtime to bring work to stage AJAX — Roughly 25 Ajax stu- dents have been dreaming of letters and words a lot in recent months. The Grade 7 and 8 pupils at Southwood Park Public School present ‘Spellbound: A Musical Play on Words’ at the school Thursday and Friday, June 12 and 13. The musical is set in the City of Spell, featuring main characters such as 2Bee, Not2Bee and the Queen Bee. The search is on for someone to take part in an upcom- ing spelling bee, and it’s suggested that the quiet, shy Margaret-Anne step up to the plate. “She doubts that she can do it so she builds up her self confidence,” Southwood Park teacher Melody Giles said in an interview. Journeying through Spell, Marga- ret-Anne also a variety of characters and learns the value of friendship. Ms. Giles and fellow teacher Kelly Robertson, a former opera singer, are producing the work. Ms. Giles praised the dedication of the stu- dents who have worked on the mu- sical before school, at lunch time, after school and even some Satur- days. “It’s been lots of fun working with the students and seeing their hid- den talents,” she said. As well, Ms. Giles said many par- ent volunteers helped by painting sets, making costumes and helping with odds and ends. The musical comedy is an all- ages production with some jokes only the adults will get. It is performed at the school on both nights at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 per person, available at the door if it’s not sold out. The school is at 28 Lambard Cres., between Pickering Beach Road and Harwood Avenue off Dreyer Drive.

Chanice Taylor-Chase, 14, a Grade 9 student, ran to an in- credible three gold medals at the OFSAA (Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations) Track and Field Championships in Hamilton last week. She captured gold in the midg- et girls’ long jump with a leap of 5.49 metres, gold in the 200 me- tres with a time of 25.30 seconds and also in the 80-metre hurdles in 11.85 seconds. And, the Grade 9 student ac- complished the triple-gold feat while admittedly being at less than her best, owing to nagging ankle and hamstring injuries that proved troublesome throughout the four-day meet. “Yeah, I was pleased with my performances at OFSAA. I had ankle and hamstring injuries, so I was not sure what would hap- pen, but I’m glad I came out on top. They affected me because I couldn’t go to my full potential. I felt the hamstring when I was running. I put it in the back of my mind and focused on the race. I knew it would be a tight race.” Although she was confident enough in her ability to win at OFSAA, she wasn’t particularly surprised at earning three gold medals. The injuries, however, kept her from accomplishing her real goal -- to smash meet re- cords. “Actually, I wanted to break some records,” she said. That’s not to say she didn’t have some minor scares en route to gold at OFSAA. In the 200 metres, Taylor-Chase had the second-fastest time in the heats (25.75) behind Scarborough Mary Ward’s Sheereen Harris (25.67). But, the Notre Dame athlete turned the tables in the final. “One of the girls beat me in the heats and I wasn’t expecting that, but, in the final, I pulled it all together,” she said. Also, in the long jump, she fouled on her first of three at- tempts, but regrouped to win gold handily over Devyani Biswall of Nepean. “I faulted on my first attempt, so I just said I wanted to win and I was going to win and just pulled it together,” he said. The hot weather on Saturday also didn’t do her any favours with her hamstring injury. “Before the 200 metres I felt really sleepy and my hamstring was very tight. I had to keep get- ting them massaged, so it (the weather) didn’t help at all,” she said. The triple gold at OFSAA marked a perfect season for Tay- lor-Chase, who also competes with her club, the Oshawa Le- gion Track and Field Club. She also won gold in all three events at the OFSAA Central Regional Track and Field Championships in Toronto as well as at the Lake Ontario Secondary School Ath- letics (LOSSA) Track and Field Championships last month. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School’s Chanice Taylor-Chase overcame ankle and hamstring injuries to produce three gold medals at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) Track and Field Champi- onships in Hamilton last week. It’s a gold rush! A host of other Ajax-Pickering high school athletes captured med- als at the provincial high school championships in Hamilton last week. Keith Cyrus, a Grade 9 stu- dent at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pickering, ran to a gold medal in the midget boys’ 100-metre hurdles, winning in 14.12 seconds. Earning silver in the event was Pickering High’s Denver Wright in 14.56 seconds. Dunbarton High School’s Wumi Agunbiade won the junior girls’ shot put crown with a throw of 11.31 metres. Rayann Chin, also of Dunbarton, captured dou- ble silver in the midget girls’ division. She was second in the shot put in 10.16 metres and second in the discus with a throw of 34.04 metres. Ajax High’s Jeridan Williams was the silver medallist in the midget boys’ triple jump with a leap of 12.84 metres. St. Mary’s Adam Engel earned a silver medal in the junior boys’ javelin with a throw of 56.70 metres -- a personal best. The event win- ner, Ray Dykstra of Grimsby, earned gold in an OFSAA record of 58.60 metres. Engel also won the gold in the event at regionals and, at the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athlet- ics (LOSSA) championship, he established a new record of 52.16 metres in the javelin, previously set 36 years ago by his father, Michael, while he was a student at O’Neill CVI in Oshawa. Coneisha Waugh of Archbish- op Denis O‘Connor Catholic High School, ran to a bronze medal in the junior girls’ 100 metres in 12.88 sec- onds. She was also sixth in the 200 metres. Adam Engel Ajax-Pickering athletes score numerous OFSAA medals St. Mary in soccer semis PICKERING — The St. Mary Cath- olic Secondary School Monarchs are full-steam ahead to the provincial high school semi-finals. The LOSSA (Lake Ontario Sec- ondary School Athletics) champion Monarchs are one of 16 teams from across the province competing at the OFSAA (Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations) ‘AAAA’ senior girls’ soccer championships in Hamilton. The Monarchs play in the semifi- nals against an undetermined oppo- nent today (Wednesday) morning. They’ll then play for gold or bronze. St. Mary, which finished second in pool ‘A’, booked their ticket to the semis after upending Holy Trinity, the first-place team in pool ‘B’, 2-1 on Tuesday afternoon at the Mohawk Sports Complex. Holy Trinity took the lead in the early going, but Nicole Renouf tied the contest at 1-1 late in the first half. The game winner, scored with roughly 20 minutes remaining in the game, came off the foot of Shelby Forza. She was inserted into the game as a sub and within five min- utes had scored the game winner. St. Mary coach Scott McDavid says he’s on Cloud 9 after his team qualified for semifinal action. “I don’t know what to say, we’re so happy to be in the semifinals. We’ll see what happens.” To qualify for the quarter-final playoff round, St. Mary posted a 2-1 record in pool ‘A’ play, finishing with a solid 5-0 shutout victory over Holy Names (0-3) school from Windsor on Day 2 on Tuesday morning. Renouf and Forza netted two goals apiece for the Monarchs; Arin King netted the other marker. Jessica Vella recorded the shutout. The Monarchs split games on the opening day of action on Mon- day. They started against defend- ing OFSAA champion A.B. Lucas Vikings of London, losing 2-1. The Londoners scored the game win- ner with 20 minutes remaining. Al- though St. Mary had several scoring chances in the remaining minutes, they couldn’t net the equalizer. Renouf had the lone St. Mary goal against Lucas. In Game 2, a big lead almost back- fired on the Monarchs in their con- test against St. Paul of Niagara Falls. After having the wind in the first half and finding the net for five goals, St. Mary almost gave it all back in the second half. St. Paul scored four goals to cut the Monarchs’ lead to 5-4. St. Mary, however, scored two more to lock up a 7-4 victory. King scored an incredible four goals to lead the Monarchs over St. Paul. Forza, Christina Paterson and Chloe Giordano also scored. +)';\e`jfeJk \Xjkf]Nff[Y`e\ 0',%+.'%'0.+ D8IB?8D (+..9XpcpJk Y\kn\\eC`m\igffc 9ifZb 0',%/*(%-.'/ G@:B<I@E> JKFI<?FLIJ1Dfe[Xp$=i`[Xp10$/#JXkli[Xp10$-#Jle[Xp1('$, J_fgfec`e\7nnn%^fc]Zc\XiXeZ\nXi\_flj\%Zfd D@JJ@JJ8L>8&9I8DGKFE:8D9I@;><N8K<ICFF FKK8N8&B8E8K8 Planning your Golf Tournament?

Steve Doultsis scored the over- time winner from Jason Burst. Other goal scorers were George Jimas with two, Mike Hart with a single. Connor Latimer added an assist.

Jimas netted four goals, Andrew Bobas and Alex May added singles. The Durham West juniors played Monday night against In- nisfil, with the result unavailable at press time.
