Ian Taylor dialed 911 at about 3:45 p.m. Monday, June 16 when his girlfriend, Barb Post, became very ill and was “throwing up vio- lently.” Pickering Fire Services was first on the scene and looked after Ms. Post, who ended up having a kidney stone, inside her home. But when they were in the ambulance to transfer her to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital, the couple was put into quarantine, since the ambulance was previously on the scene at Pickering City Hall, where it could have come into contact with an unknown powder sent to the City and fears of anthrax were swirling. The couple then had to wait for another ambulance to take them to the hospital, and once it arrived, it sat in front of the emergency room for about two- and-a-half hours. “It was an experience, to say the least,” Mr. Taylor said. The wait was for a negative pres- sure room at the hospital, where both were outfitted with masks. They waited at the hospital until about 8 p.m., when the substance was deemed non-hazardous. Staff periodically gave Ms. Post pain- killers and took her blood pres- sure, but no machines could be used because of possible contami- nation. Tricia Root, manager of in- fection control at RVHS, explained a negative pressure room sucks air in from the hallway which then goes through a filter and is re- leased to the outside. “That way whatever they had could not be circulated through the emergency department,” she said. As for the two-and-a-half hour wait, Ms. Root said they had to get direction from Health Canada and the haz-mat team. “This is a very rare situation where they were querying an- thrax,” she said. Mr. Taylor was in a severe car accident about a year ago, so he has troubles with his back, making SNEAKING UP ON HIS AUDIENCE AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — The Native Circle at Pickering Nuclear Generating Station, through the Diversity Committee, celebrated National Aboriginal Week at the Information Centre.

Ways to wor k 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 t i l l m a t t e r s 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.

Ajax council’s community affairs and plan- ning committee approved a redevelopment plan submitted by Norm Picov that will see a new racetrack oval built next to the slots build- ing. Quarter-horse races have been held on land owned by the Picov family since 1969. The new site would see races held on weekends between 1 and 5 p.m., similar to what is now done. Horses would only be on the site on race days, arriving around 10 a.m. and leaving at about 5:30 p.m., Mr. Picov said Monday night. “There’s no overnight stay. That was a re- quest by our family with your concerns,” he said. About 100 horses would be on the property on race days, he said. “We have no intention of having night racing at this time. We are concerned about the neighbours as much as anybody.” Even though an oval is being construct- ed, Mr. Picov said only quarter-horse racing would continue. “If we don’t have enough quarter horses, which I don’t see, we’ll have to look at something for the people of Ajax.” Manure would be removed each day, said John Bousfield, a planning consultant for Picov. “That’s a concern in any urban setting.” Redeveloping the race track was part of the proposal submitted by the Picovs when they sought approval for the slots operation. Ward 2 local Councillor Renrick Ashby ques- tioned if any residents living nearby raised concerns about noise, dust or more traffic going through the neighbourhood. A noise study was done and found there shouldn’t be an inconvenience to residents, said Town planner Geoff Romanowski. The study was done based on a flat land- scape, but a 10-foot high berm will be built at the north end of the property. “With the berm, there’s no concern with the noise,” Mr. Romanowski said. “I’m very excited about this. We’ll return to a long-term Ajax tradition,” said Alex Krebelj, a Lakeridge Road resident. “This will be a real nice centrepiece. It will draw a lot of people to this.” The project “should be substantially com- pleted by the end of this year. It will be up and running when it’s dry,” said Paul Allore, the planning and development director. “I know this is something the community can be proud of for years to come,” said Wards 1 and 2 Regional Councillor Scott Crawford.

Last Monday, the Province passed leg- islation, supported by all parties, banning smoking in cars where children under age 16 are present. Drivers and passengers caught lighting up with kids in the car will face a $250 fine for each offence. Dr. Kyle said the Ontario Medical Associa- tion suggested the ban several years ago and he said he’s pleased the government has acted on the legislation. “It’s a great day for public health in On- tario for that recommendation to come to fruition.” Children exposed to second-hand smoke are more likely to suffer from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, respiratory problems and asthma, said Dr. Kyle. In the confines of a car, the concentration of smoke may be the equivalent of smoking cigarettes directly. “It’s the high levels of second-hand smoke coupled with if you’re a young child you can’t do anything to protect yourself such as lower the windows.” The legislation will be law once it receives royal assent. As it stands, Durham police are waiting for the Province to craft the regulation and provide details. Police Chief Mike Ewles said he expects that to come in July or August, perhaps early September. The Chief said his officers take all the pieces of applicable legislation into account when they stop someone, be it through the RIDE program or a speeder. “We catch people speeding and find peo- ple don’t have their kids in child safety seats,” he said. The smoking ban would be enforced in a similar manner. As well, Chief Ewles said his officers wouldn’t turn a blind eye to it during the course of their daily business. “You’d see the cigarette, you’d see the smoke, you’d form the grounds and pull that person over,” he said. But enforcement is just one part of police work, education is important as well. “The Province hopefully will come out with an education and awareness strategy and we will definitely compliment that in the region,” said Chief Ewles. Still, overall the police expect the smoking issue to account for only a small portion of the vehicles pulled over. Alleged ‘fake beard bandit’ arrested PICKERING — Durham and Toronto po- lice have arrested a man believed to be the “fake beard bandit.” Over the last nine months, 14 financial institutions -- including five in west Dur- ham -- were robbed. In each case, a man disguised in a fake beard would enter the bank, approach each victim and produce a holdup note, indicating he was armed with a handgun and demanding cash. Clothing added to his disguise. Police believe the same man went to a Kingston Road bank in Toronto Friday, but lost his nerve and left the bank. Brett Ryan, 27, of Toronto, is charged with 14 counts each of robbery and wear- ing a disguise. As well, he faces a weapons charge. Smoking ban pleases top doc Advertising Feature his quarantine stay uncom- fortable. The couple did not leave the hospital until about 12:10 a.m. because Ms. Post had to be treated after being released from quarantine. Durham health depart- ment spokeswoman Glen- dene Collins confirmed the incident. “While it was at the scene, there were patients from that incident (at Pickering City Hall) placed in the am- bulance,” she said, stressing the powder was non-toxic. The three paramedics in the ambulance were placed in quarantine at Pickering City Hall. “We do take this incident very seriously and patient safety is a priority for us, and we continue to investi- gate,” she said. The decontamination process is the responsibility of Pickering Fire Services. Deputy chief Simon Almond explained the ambulance was standing by doing rou- tine monitoring at City Hall, and was sent out before the substance was determined possibly dangerous. “Unfortunately between making the determination... they got redirected to a re- call,” he said. Once the powder was deemed possibly danger- ous, the ambulance was recalled immediately and brought to a decontamina- tion facility, under care of Team-1 Environmental Ser- vices, Pickering’s haz-mat team. “We always err on the side of caution,” Deputy Chief Almond said. The EMS workers and the hospital staff were fantas- tic, Mr. Taylor said, but he thought the entire situation should have been avoided and hopes the incident sparks some changes. “It wasn’t anthrax, but next time it might be,” he said.

Durham Regional Police report witnesses said a late model Suzuki SUV XL7 was travelling westbound on Rossland when it stopped at a red light at Lakeridge. The Suzuki then proceeded into the intersection before the traffic light had turned green. A dump truck, loaded with topsoil and head- ing south on Lakeridge, slammed into the side of the SUV. The impact sent the Suzuki spinning out of control, crossing the inter- section and striking a Ponti- ac Sunfire, which had been heading eastbound and was stopped at the red light. The accident happened around 11:35 a.m. The 51-year-old Ajax man driving the Suzuki was taken to hospital, but was released a few hours later. Lakeridge and Rossland were closed for several hours as investigators with the Durham police traffic services branch conducted an investigation. Weather and road con- ditions were favourable at the time and police don’t believe they contributed to the accident. The investigation is con- tinuing and no charges have been laid. Anyone with informa- tion is asked to call Detec- tive Constable Cecil Bryson at 905-579-1520, ext. 5255. Anonymous tips can also be made to the Durham Re- gional Crime Stoppers ate 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Tip- sters could be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000. By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The pub- lic has a chance to sound off about future growth in Durham at a public meet- ing on the Region’s preferred growth scenario, which would focus on reinforcing existing communities. Durham is working on conforming its official plan to the Province’s growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, the area ringing Lake Ontario from Niagara to Durham. The preferred op- tion would look at balancing growth in existing commu- nities and put employment growth along the future Hwy. 407 expansion. The Region’s planning committee considered two other scenarios, one that would focus growth in Pickering and west Whitby and one focusing on a cen- tral hub, with the largest share of growth in Whitby and Oshawa. Residents get a chance to have their say on the preferred scenario at a public information session from 6 to 9 p.m. on June 25 at Regional Headquarters (Room LL-C). The first hour is an open house format where resi- dents can ask questions and comment on the scenario. It’s to be followed by a formal presentation and question-and-answer ses- sion. Councillors endorsed the preferred scenario at a planning committee meet- ing earlier this month and at Regional council this week. For more information on the growth plan, visit www.re- gion.durham.on.ca/growth- plan.

Friday, June 25 at about 10 a.m., the public alerting sirens recently installed in Pickering and Clarington will be tested. The sirens will be sounded twice, for about one minute each time. The sirens were installed in a three-kilometre area around the Pickering and Darlington nuclear sta- tions. In the event of a nuclear emergency or any other large-scale event, the sirens will warn residents or busi- nesses. During the test, anyone near the Pickering or Dar- lington stations is not re- quired to take any action. Siren testing on Friday Donna Clarke wants partnership with Durham public board By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Donna (Smellie) Clarke was 17 when her Olympic dreams came true. Almost 15 years after competing for Canada in the heptathlon, she’s hoping to help Durham teenagers achieve their athletic dreams through a proposed partnership with the Durham District School Board. “My vision is that the DDSB provide the ac- ademic curriculum,” Ms. Clarke said in a re- cent presentation to the Durham District School Board’s standing committee. In the proposed program for gifted athletes, her Quest Sports Academy would provide students with an elite athletic component and parents would pay for training. The program would be housed in the Ajax Community Centre, said Ms. Clarke, the Acade- my’s director. The partnership would be similar to the Seneca College and York District School Board program, which offers artistic and rhythmic gymnastics and figure skating. “The program can be viewed as a social invest- ment,” Ms. Clarke said. “It can balance out the playing field between haves and have nots.” Canada’s demographic is not accurately re- flected in elite sports, she said. Due to the com- mitment required for after-school programs, two- family homes with high incomes tend to benefit most, she said. Such programs require two-to-five days per week plus travel time and sports such as figure skating can cost $40,000 to upwards of $86,000. “It helps a lot to have a venture like this where money can be brought into a group effort rather than trying to find it on their own,” she said. The program’s goals include providing: a solid foundation in academics and athletics; an en- vironment where students can maximize their potential in a total sports culture; for the social development of each student athlete; and, a fu- ture national team for Olympic and international competitions. She “absolutely” believes in high academic standards. After the 1976 Olympic games, it was found that many athletes didn’t finish their education, said Ms. Clarke. The program would also provide an opportu- nity for students to discover their niche through a talent identification process. “It took someone picking me out of a crowd,” Ms. Clarke said. She was spotted at age 16 and had six months to train before heading to the 1984 Olympics. Pickering Trustee Chris Braney said now is a good time to start taking a serious look at this. He recently attended a Durham track meet and was impressed. “Some of these kids were highly trained,” Trust- ee Braney said. Uxbridge Trustee Joe Allin was also interested in Ms. Clarke’s proposal. “I am interested though in looking at the differ- ent forms this support might take,” said Trustee Allin. Perhaps not as extensive as this, but in providing support to athletics and academics, he said. Pickering Trustee Sherry Croteau suggested Ms. Clarke talk to Superintendent Luigia Ayotte, superintendent of program services. NEW STOCK IS ARRIVING S N EW Ritson Rd.Bloor St. E.

Councillors’ local expenses in 2007 were $84,463, an unacceptably high figure and a 21-per-cent increase since 2006. After commending Coun. Rick Johnson for lowering his amount in recent years, last year the total increased by roughly $2,500 to $16,736. Incredibly, that was the third highest total on council. Coun. Doug Dickerson topped the list at a whopping $18,304 while Coun. Jennifer O’Connell was a close second at $17,734. True, the latter attended out-of-town conferences to help her get up to speed on issues affecting Pickering and this accounted for almost half her expenses. Similarly, conferences accounted for a little more than half of Coun. Dickerson’s expenses. However he’s a political veteran whom one would assume has little need of conferences. Mayor Dave Ryan’s expenses dropped by more than $3,000 and we commend the low spenders on council, councillors Bon- nie Littley and David Pickles. The drop in council’s overall grade is directly related to the outrageous expens- es. Councillors need to remember at all times that they’re spending taxpayers’ dol- lars so they must cut back on their extra- curricular spending. Pickering’s 2008 budget process led to an interesting debate. The budget included some pricey items such as expanding the recreation complex ($4.5 million), renovating the Dunbarton pool ($1.5 million), and a new heavy-duty fire rescue vehicle ($1.2 million). While the City took advantage of a $1 million Municipal Infrastructure Invest- ment Initiative grant for the rec complex project, Coun. O’Connell objected when council gave the project pre-budget approval- without the grant in hand. Council watchdog Janice Frampton also raised the point. Coun. O’Connell even- tually voted against the budget, worried about the amount of debt the City was taking on. Her financial concerns are wel- come, as the City needs to watch its wallet given the high, some would say enormous, tax hikes of recent years. Mayor Ryan says Pickering “has embarked on a journey to become the most sustainable community in North America,” and the past year to a large extent saw a focus on environmental proj- ects and initiatives. The mayor made the comment in com- mending the corporate sponsors who supported the City’s 20-minute makeover, as more than 12,000 people from the busi- ness community, community groups, schools and neigbourhoods registered to take part. Pesticides were a hot topic in the city as, with a provincial cosmetic pesticide ban on the horizon, Councillors sought to make the City a leader in this regard. Ward 1 Regional Coun. Littley took some heat for voting against the initiative, but it was unjustified, since her concern was that the implementation date was too soon for businesses to adapt. The City should be congratulated for being ahead of the curve, and in particular for holding a num- ber of public meetings on the topic, but the provincial ban approved at Queen’s Park in effect nullified its efforts. Mixing environmental responsibility with tourism, councillors chose Toronto and Region Conservation to undertake a class environmental assessment of the Frenchman’s Bay harbour entrance. The $300,000 price tag will be covered by a pro- vincial grant Pickering obtained last year to conduct the EA and formulate a work plan to improve the harbour entrance without negatively impacting the environ- ment, making the bay a more attractive place for Lake Ontario boaters to visit. The City also approved a $10,000 grant to Toronto and Region Conservation for a study of the Petticoat Creek watershed, the only one in Pickering not to have been stud- ied or undergoing a study. And, while only a small part of the Rouge Watershed falls within Pickering’s bound- aries, council rightly recognized it as an important public asset that should be pro- tected in approving the final draft of the Rouge River Watershed Plan, a draft report from the Rouge Watershed Task Force. Always a topic of great interest to council and residents alike, councillors, supported by Durham Regional Chairman Roger Anderson, maintained their pressure on the provincial government with regards to the Seaton community. Regional Couns. Johnson and Littley successfully motioned at Pickering council that no housing permits be issued north of Taunton Road in Seaton until the pro- vincial government disposes of at least 50 per cent of its employment lands along Hwy. 407 for purposes of employment. The motion, forwarded to the Province, also states that residential permits on the lands only be released on the basis of one dwelling unit for every 45 square metres of industrial or commercial floor area devel- oped. “The benefits of Seaton coming on stream is the fact that there are employ- ment lands available; they are along the 407 corridor and we feel we have a really good opportunity not to build houses there, but to create jobs,” Coun. Johnson said. “We need a community we can work and live in, not one you have to commute to.” Chairman Anderson was more blunt when he attended a meeting of the Seaton Advisory Committee, stating not one toilet will go in Seaton without a job first. “Jobs first is first and foremost as far as the Region is concerned,” he said. Mayor Ryan at the same meeting speci- fied that the jobs must be of high qual- ity, stating “anything less than that is not acceptable.” Their words were not lost on Graham Martin, the Ontario Realty Corporation’s general manager of acquisitions. “Your message has been consistent and loud and clear from day one,” he said. The City did gain some jobs when it was announced that Aker Kvaerner Chemetics, the Canadian division of a Norway-based engineering construction company, is relocating to Pickering and planning to expand. It’s building an 87,000-square- foot building on Clements Road, opposite the Husky re-fuelling depot, and expects to have roughly 100 employees by the end of 2009 (it currently has 60 employees). The Mayor’s Task Force on Accountabil- ity and Transparency has made a number of recommendations to council, expected to be approved next month. We welcome much of what we’ve seen, including a complete ban on the expensing of alcohol, and look forward to its approval. However the section on professional development is vague and council needs to pay particular attention to this area given this year’s councillor expenses.

He also spearheaded the Mayor’s Task Force to help keep an eye on council conduct. He stands firm on his decisions. For example, he received criticism from other councillors for not going to council before police when dealing with fraud charges against former councillor Maurice Brenner, but maintains he did what he thought was best. He also cut down his expenses by about $2,500. At the Region, Mayor Ryan generally takes a laid-back ap- proach to Regional council, preferring to listen rather than to speak. However, he can be passionate when discuss- ing issues such as the cuts at the Ajax-Pickering hospital during an appearance by LHIN representatives. Attendance: Council 16/16, committee 10/10; Regional 28/36. Expenses: local $11,488, Regional mileage $492.92, CCM: $1,699.90 Ward 1 Regional Coun. Bonnie Littley Coun. Littley demonstrates a strong sensitivity for the environment along with a good business sense. She hosted a well-attended community exchange on sustainability. Although she experienced some criticism when she sug- gested the date that was being proposed to ban pesticides for businesses was too soon, it made sense and City staff favoured her view in the end, which kept a lot of Pickering businesses happy. At the Region, she’s also a quiet councillor, most often speaking up on issues related to the environment and health. Of the four Pickering council- lors, she’s the only consistent opponent of the Region’s incineration project. Attendance: Pickering council, 15/16, executive committee, 8/10; Region, 31/35 Expenses: local $5,627, Regional mileage $386.65, CCM $2,206.15 Ward 2 Regional Coun. Bill McLean Coun. McLean was instrumental in helping Pickering succeed in Communities in Bloom as he constantly promotes it. He stuck to his guns when he said he wasn’t going to approve any additional budget items during discussions. He had the good sense to suggest the City wait to see what the Province has in store for banning pesticides be- fore the City spent money on its own initiative. Shortly thereafter, a provincial ban was announced. When it comes to the Region, Bill McLean focuses on bringing his constituents’ needs to the table. This includes supporting local business owners in fighting a Region-proposed median for Brock Road. He also brought complaints about transit service cuts in his ward to the Region. Attendance: Pickering council, 14/16, executive committee, 10/10; Region, 46/53 Expenses: Local, $10,062;, Regional mileage $411.18, CCM: $1,891.14 Coun. Johnson’s expenses are on the rise again, which is why his grade has dropped, but he did donate a hefty sum to the Rotary Clubs of Ajax and Pickering to help them put on the very successful Ribfest in the City. A man who sticks to his guns, he still welcomes conflicting opinions. A good sport, he took a scooter around the Pickering Town Centre to raise money for the Ontario March of Dimes. At the Region, he brings years of experience to the works committee. As former chairman of the committee, he’s passionate about works, as evidenced by his enthusiasm during a recent tour of the new Courtice Water Pollution Control Plant. Attendance: Pickering coun- cil, 16/16, executive committee, 8/10; Region, 36/43 Expenses: Local $16,736, Regional mileage $1,159.90, CCM $2,239.31. Coun. O’Connell’s grade would have increased due to her better understanding of council proceedings and strong voice at meetings, but her expenses are on the high side so her grade remains the same as last year. She has the second-highest expenses, but is new and attended many conferences in order to get up to speed. She challenges actions by both council and staff, which helped create a more clearly-written budget. She relates well to residents and their issues, such as bringing attention to Pickering’s rail tracks. Attendance: council, 16/16, executive committee, 10/10 Expenses: $17,734 Coun. Dickerson is once again the biggest spender on council and he must get control of his expenses. His grade drops for his continued lack of concern over his spending habits. But some could argue his expenses did pay off, as almost half were for conferences. As chairman of the Sustainable Pickering Advisory Committee, he spent a lot of time at sustainability conferences, an area in which Pickering’s been successful. Coun. Dickerson always says what’s on his mind, sometimes good and sometimes bad, but he adds colour to meetings and stands firm in his beliefs. Attendance: Council, 16/16, executive committee, 10/10 Expenses: $18,304 Ward 1 Coun. Jennifer O’Connell Ward 2 Coun. Doug Dickerson Coun. Pickles’s grade increased because he’s been more vocal at meetings and his logic stands out. For example, rather than simply closing down the Greenwood Library due to a ruined foundation and broken furnace, he talked council into putting $50,000 into a contingency fund so money will be available if repairs go ahead. He spent the least on expenses and had an energy audit conducted on his home to see how he can personally reduce energy consumption. Attendance: Council, 16/16, executive committee, 10/10 Expenses: $4,512Ward 3 Coun. David Pickles Watch for Regional Chairman Roger Anderson and school board trustee report cards in Friday’s issue Attendance figures are from June 1, 2007 to May 31, 2008. Expenses are for 2007.

General Motors announced the produc- tion cutbacks Monday. A two-week summer shutdown was al- ready scheduled to begin at the end of this week in Oshawa. Chris Buckley, president of CAW local 222, said Monday another week will be added to the scheduled shutdown -- the week of July 14 -- and the union expects there will be an additional seven weeks of layoffs before the end of the year. “It’s directly related to softening sales,” Mr. Buckley said. “The truck market is sliding down a slippery slope very quickly.” This means increased production cut- backs at a plant already doomed for per- manent closing in late 2009. Mr. Buckley said this only adds to the uncertainty for the 2,600 workers who learned about the plan to close earlier this month. After 25 years of working in the auto in- dustry, Mr. Buckley said this is the worst he’s seen it. “It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better,” he said. Workers can rest assured their benefits and severance packages won’t be affected, said CAW national president Buzz Har- grove. “This is happening because the market for trucks in the U.S. and Canada is dropping like a bag of bricks,” he said. “But workers will still get their employment insurance and company supplementary unemploy- ment benefits.” More cuts at Oshawa truck plant due to ‘softening sales’ Per kilometre rate increasing DURHAM — The cost of em- ployee travel just got more ex- pensive for the Durham District School Board. The public board recently in- creased its per-kilometre reim- bursement rate to 50 cents in rec- ognition of current gas prices. The rate was last adjusted to 45 cents per kilometre in September 2006. The amount is provided to trust- ees and designated employees re- quired to use their own vehicles for board business. Whitby Trustee John Dolstra requested the mileage rate be re- viewed throughout the year, in- stead of once annually, so rates can be lowered if gas prices de- crease. “That’s important because for every penny that we look at, that’s $13,000,” said Trustee Dol- stra. A recent staff report listed fuel prices in the range of $1.24 per litre, an 18 per cent increase from the same time last year when the rate was reviewed. In Durham Region, municipal governments provide kilometre rates between 47 and 55 cents per kilometre. The board’s new mileage rate is effective Sept. 1, 2008. ...WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED!

Ontario Power Generation is proposing to refurbish the Pickering B Nuclear Generating Station to continue operating it until 2060. Dates: Tuesday, July 29 and Tuesday, August 12, 2008 Location: East Shore Community Centre 910 Liverpool Rd. S Pickering, ON Time: 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. An EA is a process used to predict the environmental effects of a proposed project. The purposes of an EA are to minimize or avoid adverse environmental effects before they occur, and to incorporate environmental factors into decision making. This CNSC Open House is an opportunity to learn about how the refurbishment and continued operation of Pickering B would affect the health and safety of people and the environment. It is also an opportunity to discuss the EA and the proposal directly with CNSC staff. For more information on the Open House, call CNSC at 1-800-668-5284 or contact EA@cnsc-ccsn.gc.ca. The CNSC regulates the use of nuclear energy and materials to protect health, safety, security and the environment, and to respect Canada's international commitments on the peaceful use of nuclear energy. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 12 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, Ju ne 25, 2008 Photo by Adrien Veczan It’s a dirty job...

The Durham District School Board recognized the accomplishments of four students June 16 with scholarships worth $500 and $1,000. From Pickering High School in Ajax, Camille Law- rence received the Leader- ship in Human Rights and Peace Scholarship Award for $500. “Camille Lawrence is an outstanding individual with a demonstrated and innovative commitment to human rights and peace in the school and communi- ty,” said Martyn Beckett, the board’s director of educa- tion. Her achievements include becoming the president of Target Unity for two years and a member for three. The club promotes harmo- ny amongst students and has participated in globally focused initiatives, such as Women’s Week and The We Generation Campaign. In 2007, she organized the Friends Across Cultural and Ethnic Societies book drive for her school, in which more than 1,000 books were collected for AIDS affected students in Kenya. Camille has also been the editor of her school news- paper, in cultural presen- tations, involved with Stu- dents Together Against Rac- ism, a team leader in her youth group, and more. She plans to attend Wil- fred Laurier University this fall for Communications and Global Studies. In Pickering, Pine Ridge Secondary School student Christopher Del Duca re- ceived the $1,000 K.D. Mun- roe Scholarship. The prize is awarded to a Durham student who has a physical handicap, is deaf/hard of hearing, or vision impaired. “Christopher has been di- agnosed with Cerebral Palsy with limited fine motor con- trol and he also has a learn- ing disability,” Mr. Beckett said. “Despite Christopher’s physical challenges, he does not want to be perceived by his perceived limitations.” His volunteer work in- cludes speaking to groups and students about the need for accessibility and equity in society; being a junior councillor for Pickering; and working with the City of Pickering to establish eq- uitable transportation. He is a Grade 12 honours student and works part- time at a movie theatre. “Christopher intends to pursue post-secondary edu- cation and a career either in fitness and nutrition coun- selling or public relations,” Mr. Beckett said. Whitby student Sanya Manchanda of Anderson Collegiate Vocational In- stitute received this year’s $1,000 Chairperson’s Schol- arship. Melissa Van Grootel, a Port Perry High School student, received a $500 Steve Martin Scholarship. The award is presented to a graduating Scugog stu- dent who has overcome a life-altering event. She has achieved honour roll status every year and been active in the school’s music pro- gram and bands. “In June 2005, Melissa’s mother was diagnosed with a brain tumour and lung cancer,” said Mr. Beckett. “Throughout secondary school, Melissa worked hard to maintain her grades while caring for her mother. Her mother passed away on Dec. 31, 2007.” She plans to attend Trent University next year to study psychology. The scholarship is named for a trustee who died of cancer last year.

From Clarington to Pickering, Durham students were awarded local, provin- cial and national 2008 Can- ada Millennium Scholar- ship Foundation Excellence Awards. The recognition is presented to those univer- sity and college bound for their achievements in lead- ership, innovation, academ- ic performance, and com- munity service. Local scholarship winners receive a one-time award of $4,000, whereas provincial winners get to renew it up to three times for a possible $16,000. National winners receive $5,000, also renew- able up to three years. “These young, and some- times not so young, individ- uals have already demon- strated their ability to change the world around them – they know how to make a difference,” said Norman Riddell, executive director and CEO of the Canada Mil- lennium Scholarship Foun- dation. “The Foundation is pleased to recognize their past successes, but above all is proud to help them reach their future goals.” Local and regional awards are distributed in each prov- ince and territory based on their share of the Canadian population, while national awards are allocated to the most exceptional applicants across the country, regard- less of provincial and ter- ritorial quotas. Receiving national awards for Durham are Whitby resi- dent Faizah Ilyas, a student at O’Neill Collegiate and Vo- cational Institute in Oshawa, and Sharon Singh of Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pickering. After hearing first-hand accounts from family and friends about the Indian coast tsunami in December 2004, Faizah acted. She vol- unteered with a team from the Tamil Nadu Public Ser- vice Commission’s Sports Club to travel to India where she distributed clothes, food and medication. Upon returning to Cana- da, she began a non-profit organization called Bridg- ing Borders, which focuses on improving the lives of disabled children in India by providing them with mo- bility and adapted sports equipment. With an exceptional academic record and true leadership qualities, Faizah plans to study medicine. Sharon has been dedi- cated to celebrating diver- sity in her community. She co-found the first Pickering youth race relations coun- cil, [YOU]nity, which creates opportunities for teenagers to get involved by planning events and workshops. With her group members, she helped run a March Break Diversity Program for stu- dents from Grade 6 through Grade 8 to learn about eq- uity and diversity. She was one of 30 stu- dents from her region to be trained as a Students Together Against Racism camp leader. Sharon also organized a Festival of Lights to honour the wide range of religious beliefs within her school and for the past three years she has organized the Eid/Diwali dinner. She is equally inter- ested in environmental is- sues and spearheaded a ‘We Have the Power’ campaign to convince Pickering resi- dents to reduce their hydro consumption by 10 per cent. Sharon is planning to study life sciences in university. At the provincial level, scholarships were present- ed to Joanne Kearon, Pine Ridge Secondary School; Katherine Lepage, All Saints Catholic Secondary School in Whitby; and Heather Semotiuk, Sinclair Second- ary School of Whitby. Local winners include Af- rika Nieves-Bentley and Jus- tin Buyukozer of Clarington Central Secondary School; Paula Lewis, a Pickering resident who attends Sir Oliver Mowat Collegiate In- stitute; Chris-Ann Manning of Notre Dame Catholic Sec- ondary in Ajax; Janelle Shaw of G. L. Roberts Collegiate and Vocational Institute in Oshawa; Siobhan Stewart of St. Mary Catholic Second- ary School in Pickering; and Eaine Yu Yao of Sinclair Sec- ondary School in Whitby. The Foundation received 11,101 applications from students across the country and awarded 1,052 scholar- ships: 100 national, 241 pro- vincial and 711 local.

(NC) Summer is a fun time that can be packed with many outdoor activities, including camping, hiking, portaging and mountain biking. “Not only do outdoor activities provide the ability to experience nature fi rsthand, but they are perfect for spending quality time with your family,” says Bob Abrames, voyageur and outdoor expert. “Knowing the proper safety tips and tricks will ensure you have a positive outdoor experience.” Bob Abrames and Energizer offer the following safety tips for any outdoor excursion: Tell someone where you’re going: Always make sure someone knows where you intend to go and when you intend to return. That way they’ll know where to search if you don’t return on time. Pack a fi rst aid kit: Your kit will be invaluable if you or a member of your family suffers a health setback outdoors.

There’s nothing better than a good meal to replenish energy levels or for relaxing with loved ones. Summer offers us the unique opportunity to enjoy our meals in the open air, so we should make the most of it. Most restaurants promote their terraces; a question of welcoming as many people as possible in an agreeable atmosphere. So, it’s up to you to spoil yourself and savour a meal served outside. What’s nicest about terraces is that they are welcoming any time of the day. The latest trend leads us to believe that the best time is lunchtime as well as suppertime, but breakfast outside is also very pleasant. In fact, why not get up really early to admire the sun rising over the city? Order a small plate of fruits, a large glass of orange juice and take advantage of the fresh air and the surroundings. Then relax and ask yourself if life couldn’t smile on you more than at this wonderful moment in time. The answer will come all by itself. What’s more, remind yourself that there are different types of terraces to suit all tastes and all prices. By paying attention, you’ll fi nd the restaurants where you’ll be able to eat with the family without breaking the budget. The best bet is not to let yourself be infl uenced by the look of the place, but by what is most important; the menu. Enjoy your meal!

Stories and jokes can be exchanged over a good meal, parents can take a break and it’s a real treat for the children. Family-type restaurants allow families to have a nice outing without spending a fortune. Many places have a playroom available for the little ones and sometimes clowns and make-up artists are there to amuse the children. So a meal at a restaurant becomes real entertainment, offering something for everyone at lunchtime or suppertime. Other, more gastronomic options are available to families. How about opening your family’s eyes to the world and trying an Indian meal or some Ethiopian cooking sitting on the fl oor. The children will probably love the experience; a total change of scenery and lots of stories to tell friends on Monday morning. There is also the possibility of going to a top-rate restaurant on Sundays as families are often welcome on this day of the week. Special children’s menus are available as well as quality menus for adults. Another option to consider for an economical meal out is to have breakfast at a restaurant. For a fraction of the price, the whole family can take advantage of a good meal in the comfort of unpretentious surroundings. Buffet-style restaurants should also be considered as the children’s menu is often half price. And fi nally, don’t forget that celebrating a birthday at a restaurant can turn out to be a gift in itself.

While in previous years the instinct might have been to load up the SUV and take a road trip, more and more eco-conscious parents are looking for ways to entertain their families while also keeping carbon emissions to a minimum. Here are a few green-themed ideas to keep your family busy this summer while staying close to home: Ec -friendly activities for the whole family 1.Let it grow: Whether you’ve got a backyard garden or a condo balcony, let your children help tend to the plants. If you’ve got the space, let your children choose vegetables they’d like to grow, and help them through the process of planting, watering, weeding and eventually picking the vegetables. Chances are they won’t wrinkle their nose at the taste of these home-grown veggies. If you’re limited to a window garden or balcony plants, try growing fresh herbs or tomatoes. 2. Consider composting: If you haven’t started a compost yet, make it a family project. If you’ve got kids who love to get dirty, this is the job for them: they’ll be fascinated with the transformation of egg shells, coffee grounds, fruit and vegetable peels and yard waste and will undoubtedly want to be in charge of turning or aerating the compost. 3.Encourage environmental efforts: If you’ve got a teenager who would rath- er spend time with friends than with the whole family, encourage involvement in an environmental club or effort such as the Otesha Project (www.otesha.ca), a youth movement towards sustainable consumption or the Canon Envirothon (www.envirothon.org), North America’s largest high school environmental education competition where teens solve real environmental issues through in- class projects and hands-on fi eld experiences. 4.Rainy day recycling: Gloomy weather outside doesn’t mean you have to put your green efforts on hold and fl ip on the TV for the kids. Use the indoor day to sort through items that you might no longer need and put two of the Rs (reduce and reuse) into practice by prepping for a yard sale or a donation to a local char- ity. 5.Book it: If they don’t have them already, take your entire family to get library cards and support frequent visits. Not only does this reduce family purchases, it encourages your family to read. Kids get involved with the Otesha Project and the Canon Envirothon. 487 WESTNEY ROAD SOUTH, UNIT 13, AJAX 905-426-4100 Kick off your SummerKick off your Summer with Napoleon’s...with Napoleon’s... ~Award winning BBQ’s~Award winning BBQ’s ~Soothing waterfalls~Soothing waterfalls ~Stunning fireplaces~Stunning fi replaces ~Cool comfort ductless air~Cool comfort ductless air FIREPLACES & GRILLS 1800 degrees!

If you’re between 40 and 60 years of age, you’re a member of the large Canadian demographic group known as the “baby boomers.” One of your prioritiesis extending your health into the next phase of your life for as long as possible. With cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks and strokes, becoming leading cause of death in Canada, how can you minimize your risk as you reach the ages most commonly affl icted by cardiovascular diseases? Diet, physical activity, genetic history and lifestyle factors such as stress have a major impact on an individual’s risk for heart or circulatory conditions. Eating healthy is crucial and in our control. In addition to a well-balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and fi bres, it is important to get enough “good fats” (HDL – high density lipids) and to reduce intake of “bad fats” (LDL – low density lipids). The long-standing belief that those who consume suffi cient amounts of fi sh rich in Omega-3 fatty acids (“good fats”) are less susceptible to heart problems is borne out by some 3000 studies conducted around the world, including: • A 2001 study showed that fi sh oil supplementation resulted in a 20 per cent decrease in risk of death, a 30 per cent decrease in risk of cardiovascular death, and a 45 per cent decrease in risk of sudden death. • In a double-blind study conducted in 1996, fi sh oil supplementation reduced the risk of a second heart attack.2 • Studies done in 2000 and 2003 show statistically signifi cant reductions in both triglyceride and LDL (low density lipid) cholesterol levels with the use of fi s h o il.

It’s a sobering thought, yet far too many Canadians choose daily to risk their lives and yours when they drive impaired. MADD Canada sug- gests that on average nearly four Canadians will lose their lives in an alcohol related collision each day. A 2007 Traffi c Injury Research Foundation study, suggests that the number of people driving over the legal limit is on the rise despite the fact that drinking and driv- ing increases your risk of collision. The trend is not just a National one. Locally, Durham Regional Police arrested more impaired drivers during this past Festive RIDE than in previous campaigns. One can argue that personal transportation is a necessity and alcohol consumption is very much a part of the Canadi- an social fabric. The two appear joined. This is particularly true around holidays and in the summer, especially during long weekends. But do we truly tolerate this connection? A 2007 poll of 1500 Canadians by Transport Canada found that 91 per cent believe that impaired driving is the greatest traffi c concern in the country. A further 89 per cent want vehicles used for impaired driving confi scated. Gener- ally, people want to see greater penalties, and more tools for the police offi cer to combat the threat. Experts argue a variety of measures that include targeting repeat offenders, or lowering the legal limit. Yet lawmakers seem unwilling to act. Perhaps it is time for the Ontario Government to indeed POTENTIAL KILLERS ARE EVERYWHERE You may even be one of them!

Price Senior Financial Advisor Happy 141st Birthday Canada Stay Safe - we want you to enjoy your retirement (NC) It has been said that when life hands you lemons, you should make lemonade. A popular charitable endeavour is taking that idea to a whole new level, with youngsters raising money to support a variety of worthy causes—one glass of lemonade at a time. Now in its fi fth year, an award-winning program encourages kids to give back to their community by raising money for a charity of their choice through a good old-fashioned, freshly squeezed lemonade sale. Never underestimate the power of our kids wanting to give back, say Sunkist Growers. As part of their Take a Stand program, kids have written in wanting to raise money for local charities and national causes, including UNICEF, the Canadian Red Cross, Breakfast for Learning, Humane Society and many others. Over the past four years, the company has sent out more than 30,000 free lemonade stands and recipe cards to help kids get started. Since the inception of Take a Stand, it is estimated that more than $2.8 million has been raised for charity by kids, one glass at a time. Last year, 15,000 pledges were received, with kids writing in from every province in Canada. “Sunkist has taken a traditional summertime ritual and given it more meaning by having kids think beyond what they want for themselves,” said Billy Dean, GRAMMY®- winning country artist and international Take a Stand spokesperson. Inspired by the thousands of kids who are responding to the company’s call to action, Dean has written a song titled “Take a Stand”. With a good location and neighborhood support, kids can make their lemonade stands a success. A stand does not need to be elaborate; a card table, chair, a giant sign and some balloons still do the trick. To help kids get started, Sunkist offers “Lemonade For Sale” signs, a sales tracker and a guide on how to price lemonade—all for free on its website www.sunkist.com/takeastand Lemonade stands give kids a chance to support worthy causes Never underestimate the power of our kids wanting to give back.

On the ‘A’ side, workers have gone 840,000 hours without a worker missing time due to an injury. Over on the ‘B’ side, on June 14 employees passed the one- million hour mark “with- out a disabling injury,” said Pierre Tremblay. The ‘B’ side had reached 4.5 million hours without an injury when a worker injured his back, Mr. Trem- blay, the senior site vice- president, said during a meeting of the Community Advisory Council on Tues- day. “We’re very proud of our safety performance.” Workers had gone 2.4 million hours without an injury before a worker hurt his back moving a drum of heavy water in February, said Mark Elliott, the senior vice-president of the ‘A’ side. “There are better ways of doing that and it shouldn’t happen.” Ontario Power Genera- tion has fewer employees on the ‘A’ side, as Units 2 and 3 are in a permanent shutdown state. Unit 4 is at high power while Unit 1 is in a main- tenance outage. Workers were to restart the reactor Tuesday night and it should be generating electricity by June 27, Mr. Elliott said. “Before the summer peak, we’ll have both Units 1 and 4 on-line.” Unit 4 had reached 221 days of continuous service, its best performance since being refurbished. “It’s the longest continu- ous since the return to ser- vice. It’s at 240 days now. It passed the eight-month milestone on Friday,” Mr. Elliott said. One of the company’s goals has been to improve the plant’s reliability and “it shows our work is showing on Unit 4. It’s good to see.” The fuel has been re- moved from Unit 2 and about half has been taken out of Unit 3, with the rest to be removed by the end of the year. Units 5, 6 and 8 were “at or near full power” on Tues- day, while Unit 7 was off- line for maintenance. The outage began June 9 and the reactor will be out of service all summer, he said. “We’d rather not have a summer outage,” he said, adding the reactor will come back in September. OPG officials are still waiting to hear from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission about the re- licencing of the ‘B’ side. The current licence expires on June 30 and the company has been seeking a five-year relicencing. “June 30 is the last day, so I’m going to have to hear pretty soon. We’re pretty confident of getting a five- year licence,” Mr. Tremblay said.

Chairman’s classic raises $412,000 By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The percentage of Durham public and Catholic stu- dents who passed the Grade 10 literacy test fell slightly this year. The Education Quality and Ac- countability Office (EQAO) school by school results released June 11 show both boards dropped one percentage point this year from last. They still remain at or above the provincial average. At the Durham District School Board, 84 per cent of students who took the test were success- ful compared to 85 per cent in March 2007. The Durham Catholic District School Board had similar results, dropping to 85 per cent from 86 per cent the previous year. The provincial average was 84 per cent in both years. “Our results are sustaining themselves over the previous year,” said Paul Pulla, the Catholic board’s director of education. “At first glance, we are pleased with the results,” Mr. Pulla said. The test measures if students have the appropriate reading and writing skills. Success is a require- ment for high school graduation. Monsignor John Pereyma Cath- olic Secondary School in Oshawa was profiled by the EQAO for its success in raising students’ litera- cy skills over the last several years. The school has had a continuous increase and went from 74 per cent in 2002/2003 to 83 per cent success rate this year. “It’s very encouraging; I think it’s wonderful for that school,” Mr. Pulla said. “It’s reflective of the hard work teachers are doing.” In the fall, the Durham Catholic District School Board will provide a detailed analysis of the results to trustees. Other Catholic board highlights include Ajax’s Arch- bishop Denis O’Connor going from 69 per cent in 2002-2003 to 79 per cent in 2003-2004, 78 in 2004-2005, 87 in 2005-2006 and 77 in 2006-2007 to 86 per cent this year. At the public board, the per- centage of successful students in- creased to 84 per cent from 80 over five years. There are 633 more fully participating students passing the test than five years ago. “We will continue to implement instructional strategies and pro- vide programming that will help our students be successful in lit- eracy, numeracy and their future pathways,” said Luigia Ayotte, superintendent of programs, in a press release. At Ajax High School, the per- centage fell from 85 per cent last year to 79 this year. In the north, 94 per cent of Uxbridge Secondary School students were successful, compared to 91 per cent in 2007 and 95 per cent in 2006.

The announcement that Darlington will be the site of two new nuclear reactors will mean expan- sion of an already strong program, said president Ronald Bordessa. “It’s important for us, because in its short his- tory, UOIT has already established itself as maybe even the premier university in the country for nuclear science,” said Dr. Bordessa. The announcement means “the province has signalled nuclear is a large part of energy gen- eration going forward,” he said Tuesday. “We’re already committed to training the new generation of nuclear engineers. Now, we’ll be able to give education to students here who will be able to continue to live in the region after graduation and be strong contributors to a growing region.” Spaces for those wishing to do degrees in nucle- ar engineering will be increased at the school, in anticipation of greater demand, and masters pro- grams will also grow. As well, the school will have to look further into the idea of offering doctoral programs in that field of study, Dr. Bordessa said. Even prior to the announcement the school was gearing up to provide nuclear education to more students. “We had anticipated there clearly was going to be increasing demand going forward,” both due to the possibility of new build and the aging population amongst the existing crop of nuclear engineers and their impending retirements, Dr. Bordessa said. The timeline associated with building a nuclear plant allows the university time to get everything in place to meet demand. “It’s going to be a decade or more before the plant comes on stream so we have lots of time to get programs in place and people trained,” Dr. Bordessa said. The university’s focus on science and technology was no accident and the an- nouncement new reactors will be built so close by “clearly indicates the early decisions make about nuclear engineering being a priority for the uni- versity have been vindicated,” Dr. Bordessa said. Even before the reactors started generating energy, there is an opportunity to raise the area’s profile, the university’s president said. “That degree of investment going into a re- gion has a payoff for everybody who lives in the region,” Dr. Bordessa said. “It makes the region more visible and from the point of view of the uni- versity, the more profile the region has, the greater the ability of the university to attract students from across the province and around the world as well.” Chairmanís Classic Raises $412,000 More than 240 enthusiastic golfers joined Durham Regional Chair Roger Anderson on June 5 for the 12th Annual Durham Region Chairman’s Charity Classic, helping to raise $412,000 and extend a legacy of giving to community organizations. The generosity of golfers, sponsors, donours and volunteers resulted in an outstanding fundraising total, which will provide assistance to students in fi nancial need at Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) and be used towards the construction of the Abilities Centre Durham. The classic has raised nearly $3.4 milion over its lifetime.

The honour is to be presented annually to an individual or group of high school or post-secondary students. “Pierre has been very enthusiastic in the development and design of electric vehicles,” said JP Fernbach, president of the DEVA, during the group’s June 5 meet- ing at the Durham College Skills Training Centre in Whitby. Next year the winner will be selected by a committee. The DEVA intends to work with schools in the Dur- ham and Kawartha regions to find nomi- nees by May and then announce a winner in June. “It’s mainly to reward students that have re- searched and worked during their school year,” said Mr. Fern- bach. “It’s to reward the students that have shown interest in the development of a project during their school year.” Mr. Hinse was honoured to be the first recipient. As a student pursuing his master’s in automotive engineering, Mr. Hinse is studying vehicle-to-grid technology. The next generation of electric cars will use intelligent controls to speak to smart meters so they can charge when power is least expensive, he said. He graduated from UOIT’s engineering program last year. Before that, he was an automation spe- cialist for industrial robots and he has a college background in electronics tech- nology. “I think it’s the future,” Mr. Hinse said of electric technology. “I truly believe the price of oil will not go down, it will always fluctuate a little bit, but it will never go down.... That’s my prediction.” On his laptop, he shared pictures of an electric fleet of trucks they’re working on at the university: two Fords and two Chevys. Mr. Hinse drives one of the fully electric Ford Rangers as his daily commuter ve- hicle. The award is named after Mr. Gover, who was an advocate of electric vehicles for more than 20 years and died ear- lier this year. He was an active member of several electric vehicle associations. Mr. Gover’s accomplishments include writing a high school manual to convert vehicles to electric power and converting his own Chevy S10 to electric.

The sketch comedy troupe Co- medeus, featuring Ajax resident Ory Tracy, is putting on a full- length show in early July, show- casing everything the members learned from the Humber Come- dy Writing and Performance Pro- gram from which they recently graduated. Members Tracy, Keegan Chris- topher and Josh Stone met at the college and began to per- form shows in Toronto along with their classmates. Tracy has been performing in theatre since his major roles in high school and has followed his passion into university. “I wanted to be an actor or writer and the course sort of pre- sented itself,” Tracy said. “It’s all in your personality; the easiest thing to do is laugh.” Tracy attended Dunbarton High School, where he per- formed with an improv team that entertained their peers over the lunches. “My characters usually reflect my personality. I usually play the sarcastic, cynical, alcoholic, depressed, or I’m questioning things philo- sophically.” Tracy said. The trio is perform- ing a darker side of com- edy at Come- deus Pres- ents: Tinsel and Trash, a roughly two- hour-long show with an inter- mission. “It’s a bit dark, more adult; the concepts are generally darker, but we try to be sophisticated,” Tracy said. The program the group took at Humber College involved standup and sketch comedy, be- cause “it’s tougher to make a liv- ing doing stand up,” Tracy said. The students were often put into sketch groups assigned by the teacher where they would have to write and perform their own material in Etobicoke and downtown Toronto. “At school we were introduced to a lot of different comedy,” Tracy said. “A lot of people are really immature, our comedy is more mature though.” On the side, Tracy also teaches sketch comedy workshops with Humber College for elementary school students around ages 12 to 14. When he is not prepar- ing for his show, he is showing younger students everything he learned through the program. Comedeus is very versatile in its performances, as each of the members play several dif- ferent characters in the show. “There’s a lot of characters in the show,” Tracy said. “We play women, old people, young peo- ple, and a lot of the characters are really obscure and very left field.” While the event targets a more adult audience, younger people are welcome to attend as well. “It’s about a PG rating I’d say,” Tracy said. The show is on July 4 at the Act One School of Drama, 1755 Plummer Street, Units 1 and 2, in Pickering (off Brock Road). The doors open at 7:45 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at the door and are $10 per person or $15 for two people.

Kate’s p irouetting her way to Winnipeg ‘There’s just something mesmerizing about her’: dance coach Evelyn Hart on Kate Metcalfe By Roland Cilliers Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — A young Ajax dancer is showing that even though she’s small it won’t stop her from performing on the big stages. Kate Metcalfe is a ballet dancer who at just 11 years old already has an impressive dance resume. Among other achievements, she has performed with both Ballet Jorgen and the National Ballet of Canada. “There’s definitely a natural dancer inside of her and the ques- tion will be how she will sculpt and shape that,” said Evelyn Hart, former Prima ballerina and one of Kate’s dance coaches. Ms. Hart, who is an Officer of the Order of Canada, was reluc- tant to take on a student as young as Kate. However, after seeing the young dancer perform for her at an audition she knew Kate was special. “I just went, ‘oh my gosh, this is a little dancing soul and it’s not a little dancing soul it’s a big danc- ing soul’,” Ms. Hart said. “There’s just something mesmerizing about her.” On top of having the same school commitments as any child her age, Kate dances at least six days a week for more than three hours a day. Despite the intense schedule she still loves to dance and uses it as a way to express herself. “When I’m really angry that’s how I express myself, I dance an- grily. When I’m sad I’ll do some type of sad dancing. It just makes me feel good,” Kate said. Her schedule is about to be- come even more filled with dance as she has recently been accepted into the summer program of the prestigious Royal Winnipeg Bal- let School. She left today for an intensive professional ballet pro- gram that will have her dancing throughout the summer. “I saw a show about them and that got me really excited when I heard I was going to be going there,” Kate said. “Evelyn Hart, she went there, and she’s kind of like my role model. I want to be like her.” Kate is already following in the footsteps of her role model. Be- fore retiring in 2005, Ms. Hart was the prima ballerina for the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. “One little ballerina is follow- ing in an older ballerina’s steps,” said Constance Metcalfe, Kate’s mother. Being at a professional school surrounded by other extremely talented young people should provide Kate with everything she needs to be great. “She’s got such a large amount of joie de vivre and passion inside of her that right now it’s really a matter of giving her the tools with which to move her body through space and create the shapes and lines that ballet asks for,” Ms. Hart said.

Former Whitby resident leaves his mark on Station Gallery By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com WHITBY — Steven Laurie’s connection to cars comes naturally. Born in Oshawa and raised in Whitby, he was heavily influenced by the car subculture and his art shows it -- engines, motors and more de- signed to do, well, nothing, really, other than to make noise and exhaust. Just two days before GM announced it was closing its Oshawa truck plant, Laurie, now based in Toronto, opened his exhibit, Art of the Motor, at Whitby’s Station Gallery. He did so with a performance, burning rubber and laying down skids marks in the parking lot with his “positracks burnout machine. “They’re beautiful machines,” curator Olexan- der Wlasenko said. “I can really appreciate the time and effort Steve has put into piecing these together.” Laurie’s art supplies come from places like Canadian Tire and auto parts suppliers. “It’s not by chance that Steven’s work has much to do with the automobile and car culture.” Wlasenko said. “This area is so defined by the auto sector. All eyes are on that industry today. We really can’t imagine ourselves without it.” He said Laurie investigates our fascination and dependence on cars and machines, mak- ing hybrid machines that appear related to leaf blowers, chainsaws, exercise equipment or cars and trucks. While those machines have pur- poses, Laurie’s don’t, designed simply to make “obnoxious noises,” spew fumes and make us aware of our obsession with motors, the curator said. The exhibit, which runs until July 13, is set up like a trade show and features videos of the performances of Laurie’s machines. You can see a video of Laurie’s opening performance at www. whitbystationgallery.com. A companion exhibit is Autoshow, with works by David Carlin, Lori Grace Johnson and Dermot Wilson, exploring our need to “go faster and the esthetics of speed” and the many accidents that follow technological advancements. The gallery is located at Henry and Victoria streets, south of two major transportation cor- ridors, Hwy. 401 and the GO train line.

Trailing 17-10 at half time, the Wanderers staged a dramatic comeback to score 19 unanswered points to claim a 29-17 victory in TRU ‘A1’ Division action at the Wanderers Rugby Club. Wanderers’ coach Stewart Dobbs says he was impressed with his charges’ ability to stay calm and collected in the face of the Yeomen onslaught in the first half. Then, they deftly turned the tables on a faltering and fuming Yeomen side in the final half. “They stayed composed and didn’t panic and stuck to the game plan and came out with the vic- tory,” said Dobbs. “We pressured York and they fell apart in the sec- ond half. They lost a bit of their composure.” Ken Loucks, Kevin Fleming, Steve Brasseur, Ty Ridduck and Brian Nishikawa each scored a try for the Wanderers. Brasseur and Fleming each added a convert. The win evens the Wanderers’ TRU record to 3-3 on the season. Dobbs notes the team is a very young one and to be playing at a .500 clip is unexpected thus far in the season. “To be at .500 at this point in the season is good. We still have four games to go and we’re improving every week.” Meanwhile, the Wanderers men’s 2nd team also defeated the York Yeomen 2nds 31-10 at the Wanderers Rugby Club on Satur- day. The victory puts the Wanderers’ record at 4-2 in the TRU ‘A2’ Divi- sion.

Pickering player tosses no-hitter for Oshawa Legionaires Catcher Carbone takes to the mound and throws a gem By Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com THORNHILL — On any other night, Ajax’s Chris Dahiroc would have been a slam-dunk choice as player of the game for the Oshawa Legionaires. All he did was belt two long home runs, spank two other hits, knock in five runs and make a dazzling play at second base that helped the Legion- aires to a 10-0 road win in Leaside Junior Baseball League play. And yet, his feats were over-shad- owed by an even more impressive outing from Vince Carbone, who tossed a complete-game no-hitter and fanned 13. Carbone, a 21-year-old from Pickering, was given the start pri- marily to give the pitching staff a rest. Normally the team’s catcher, Carbone had never pitched more than seven innings in a game and had worked only about 25 all told over the past two seasons with the Legionaires. So, not surprisingly, he wasn’t exactly thinking no-no heading into the game, especially not against a top team like Thornhill. “It didn’t even cross my mind,” he said. “I just wanted to pitch my seven and give the pitchers as much rest as possible.” After demanding to see the scoresheet through seven, Carbone went into the final two innings know- ing full well what was at stake, no matter how hush-hush his coaches and teammates were keeping it. And, despite the uncharted ter- ritory, Carbone finished off the tidy 103-pitch effort by fanning five bat- ters over the final two innings. “It’s a little bruised today, but it was all right during the game,” Car- bone said of his right arm. “A lot of adrenaline got me through it.”Vince Carbone ✦ See Carbone, Page 42 Devoe to play for national development team Canadians play Italy in Toronto on weekend AJAX — Ajax resident and Pickering High graduate Devoe Joseph will suit up with Canada’s development men’s national bas- ketball team for exhibition games against the Italian U22 all-stars in Toronto this weekend. Joseph, who spent last weekend working out with the Canadian se- nior national squad, is one of 13 players on the roster for the two- game exhibition series against the Italians at the University of Toronto Athletic Centre on June 24 and 25. The Italian team features “a quality group of young players who should have a chance soon at a higher level in their coun- try,” explained Maurizio Gh- erardini, vice president and assistant gen- eral manager of the NBA’s Toronto Rap- tors, in a press release. “Fac- ing a similar age group from Canada is not only an opportuni- ty to measure their qualities but a unique way to grow their game and add experience on the international scene.” In addition to Joseph, who’ll suit up for the University of Minneso- ta Golden Gophers in the fall, the Canadian team includes Davidson College guard Max Paulhus-Gosse- lin, Concordia University standout Damian Buckley and Bradley centre David Collins, all of whom spent time at the senior men’s national team camp last weekend. Forward Mike Tuck of Markham has also been added to the team on the eve of the exhibition series. “It’s a great opportunity,” said Chris O’Rourke, head coach of the DMNT and the University of Guelph men’s basketball team. “We’re excit- ed to see what these talented young players can do during high-level in- ternational competition.” Tickets are $10 per match for adults and available at the door, while ad- mission for kids 12 and under is $5. Children under the age of two will be admitted for free. Tip-off for the games is at 7 p.m. both nights.

Quarter-horse races are held each Sunday afternoon at the track during the summer and fall. General manager Jim Lutton, who’s been associated with this team for nearly 50 years, placed the game among his top- 10 most memorable. “He’s a great guy to come in, in relief, because he can throw strikes,” Lutton says of Carbone. “I did not think he could go nine innings. I didn’t figure he could go seven. But, boy, did he fool us. He threw one heck of a game.” Carbone allowed one walk, while an- other reached base on an error. Dahiroc’s defensive gem not only helped preserve the no-hitter, but re- sulted in an improbable double play. After ranging into the outfield to make a diving catch, Dahiroc flipped the ball to the centre fielder Brent Tamane, who raced in to touch second and double off a runner. The win continued a remarkable sea- son for the Legionaires who are unbeaten in 15 games, the best start Lutton can ever remember. Oshawa’s 11-0-1 in Lea- side league play and 2-0 in the Eastern Ontario Baseball League. ✦ Carbone from page 41 Carbone spins a no-no for Oshawa Legionaires Do you have a good business idea?
