The Durham group was made up of 11 councillors, four regional staff members in- cluding the Clarington Chief Administrative Officer and Regional Chairman Roger Ander- son. They left Thursday evening and returned Saturday morning. In between, they visited the Otter Lake Stabilized Landfill, a compost- ing facility and a recycling facility. The works department estimates the trip cost roughly $20,000. Clarington councillor and works commit- tee chairman Charlie Trim visited the landfill on his own last summer and saw more of the facility, including the cells where the stabi- lized waste goes. Construction work at the site cut back on some areas the councillors could visit. “They just said there was construction work there and it wasn’t safe for the bus to go, so it was disappointing in that aspect,” he said. But Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce, who chairs the finance committee, said she’d never been on a council trip to investigate waste options and felt she got a good handle on the Halifax system. “We didn’t get up inside the cell, other than that we saw the full process,” she said. That includes seeing what the trucks brought in and the bags torn open for the mechanical separation of the waste, the final product going into the landfill, the leachate being trucked out and methane being flared off. “I came back realizing, we are doing, I believe a good job in Durham Region and Halifax still has room for improvement to get to where we are,” said Mayor Pearce. She pointed to items such as TV sets, lumber and aerosol cans as examples of things landfilled HIGH-FIVES ON THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Eric Elson, a member of the Rosebank Road Public School’s graduating Grade 8 class, gets high-fived as he heads down the hallway Thursday.

The provincial government is much more involved and we’ve been lobbying to get the provinces more involved.’ Pickering Councillor Bonnie Littley in Halifax, but not in Durham. She found the facility to be similar to the rejected Adam’s Mine proposal where the landfill was to be built on bedrock. Both Mayor Pearce and Coun. Trim said they didn’t think it was the best option for Durham. But Pickering Coun. Bonnie Littley, one of two councillors on the trip that has been consistently opposed to incineration, said the trip, to her, established stabilized landfill as a true alternative. “I just feel more confident in my concerns and that there is another option,” said Coun. Littley after returning. She’s aware there are downsides to sta- bilized landfill, but when compared to her concerns about emissions from an incinera- tor, she prefers it, she said. “I think the devil that you know is better than the devil that you don’t,” she said. “I was very impressed by the whole sys- tem. The provincial government is much more involved and we’ve been lobbying to get the provinces more involved.” Works commissioner Cliff Curtis said he thought councillors saw what they needed to see on the trip. He was impressed with the HotRots composting system at the compost facility, which works faster than the Region’s current system. “It’s basically about the size of a transport truck trailer, they put waste into one end and about 10 days later they get reasonably good compost out the other end,” he said. A report on the trip will be presented to council in September after the summer break. By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — An Ajax boy who was just 14 when his speeding car left a roadway, killing two of his young friends, has been sentenced to a term of house arrest. Ontario Court Justice Mary Teresa Devlin announced the sentence Thursday, calling it the appropriate punishment for a young man who’d never been in trouble with the law before the tragic crash last fall in rural Ajax. “It is a reasonable alternative to custody,” Justice Devlin said of the deferred custody sentence, which is to be followed by six months of probation. “He will have to live with and come to grips with the terrible consequences of his actions and the loss of his two friends.” The boy, whose name cannot be pub- lished under provisions of the Youth Crimi- nal Justice Act (YCJA), was at the wheel of a Mazda he had recently bought when it sped south on Audley Road on the morning of Nov. 18. The boy lost control after passing another vehicle; his car left the roadway and flipped. Two of the boy’s classmates, both aged 15, died in the crash; the driver sustained a broken collarbone and injured ribs. Thursday’s ruling came a month after an emotional sentencing hearing for the youth, who pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal negligence causing death. The Crown had pressed for a custodial sentence but Justice Devlin opted for less severe punishment, citing the boy’s youth, his clean record and provisions of the YCJA, which require judges to consider alternatives to jailing young peo- ple. It was at last month’s hearing that Mo- hammed Adil Awan, whose youngest child died in the crash, urged the judge not to send the Ajax boy to jail. Mr. Awan was pres- ent for Thursday’s court session, listening quietly and dabbing at teary eyes as the judge delivered her ruling. In addition to the sentence, Justice Devlin imposed a driving prohibition that will pre- vent the boy from getting a licence until he’s 18. The judge urged the boy, now 15, to get counselling as he moves on and to make the most of his life. “Your friends don’t have the gift of life you have,” Justice Devlin said. “I want you to find ways to do good with the gift you have.” GRAND OPENINGGRAND OPENING 1790 Liverpool Rd., Pickering, Ont.

In one instance cops were contacted when a gun was found and in two oth- ers traffic stops led to the seizure of guns and charges being laid, police said. • Just before 11 a.m. Tuesday a construction crew clearing a lot on Toy Avenue in Pickering un- earthed a .40-calibre Glock handgun and ammunition that appears to be for a variety of firearms, police said. They called cops who took possession of the gun and bullets. • In a second incident officers in an unmarked car in Scarborough pulled over a car they saw being driven quickly and aggressively on westbound Hwy. 401. Officers were in the pro- cess of citing the driver for traffic infractions when a passenger bolted, police said. Cops chased the suspect for some time during which he leapt over fences before police nabbed him. A loaded .457 Magnum handgun was found dur- ing the arrest, police said. Officers also found more than 100 ecstasy pills in the suspect’s possession. Andrew Cort, 47, of Law- rence Avenue East in Scar- borough is charged with drug and weapons charges. The driver, 31-year-old Lloyd Mark Noel of North York, is charged with dan- gerous driving and driving while under suspension. • The third gun was seized during a traffic stop in the area of Finch Av- enue and Liverpool Road in Pickering just after 11 p.m. Tuesday. Members of Durham’s Gang Enforce- ment Unit found an un- loaded .38-calibre hand- gun in the car and charged two 17-year-old males from Pickering with weapons of- fences. !

A/P PAGE 4 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 27, 2008 durhamregion.com Annual fundraising tournament sets up shop again in Ajax T he Robbie. For soccer people, those two words are synonymous with what’s best and right about youth soccer. It’s all about playing the game at the highest level, while doing something good to beat two dread diseases in the process. It’s also about bringing the world together, with youth teams coming from afar to catch the spirit of Robbie, where soccer is used to foster friendship and goodwill. This weekend ushers in the start of the 42nd edition of the Robbie International Soccer Tournament. And, once again this year, there will be plenty of local involve- ment in the world’s largest annual fundrais- ing tournament. It’s named in honour of Robbie Wimbs, a young Cystic Fibrosis sufferer, and, since the tournament’s inception in 1967, has become a Canadian institution in minor soccer, raising in excess of $1 million for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and Muscular Dystrophy. Wimbs died in 1986 at age 33 of CF. But, his name and legacy live on through the tournament. The Robbie may have been born in Scar- borough, but since those beginning years, the prestigious tournament has branched out to include games hosted in Ajax and Pickering, bringing high-calibre youth soc- cer into our midst each and every summer. This year is no exception. The Ajax United Soccer Club will convene two divisions -- the girls’ under-15 and under-18 divisions -- at the Ajax Commu- nity Centre’s Monarch fields on Saturday and Sunday. The under-18 category includes ASG (Associated Soccer Group) Florida, which originates out of the state capital of Talla- hassee, competing against four other teams, including one (Laurentides AAA) from Que- bec. In addition to the Robbie, ASG Florida is also competing in the Toronto Cup tour- nament. International teams from all corners of the globe routinely make the trip to the GTA every summer to compete in the Robbie, and there are several, in addition to the Floridians, who’ll compete in the 2008 edi- tion. One team in particular, Lewis United Youth of Aberdeen, Scotland, will meet our own Ajax Gunners boys’ under-15 squad in a game at the L’Amoreaux Sports Complex in Scarborough on Sunday, June 29 at 2 p.m. Lewis United Youth is one of two Scottish squads attending this year’s Robbie. Although there is plenty of international rep- resentation, including five U.S. squads, Ajax and Pickering is well represented, too. In fact, there are 17 local teams competing in 10 age groups this year. And, in recent years, local teams have advanced far into the playoffs and have even won -- a true feat considering the calibre of Robbie competition. If you’re a fan of the game, matches in the two age groups will be played at Ajax’s Mon- arch Park field (Ajax Community Centre) on Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Ajax will even host two semifinal games in the girls’ under-15 division on Sunday at 2 and 4:30 p.m. at the Monarch Park North field. Most of the championship games take place at Birchmount Stadium in Scarborough. For more information about the Robbie, log on to the tournament’s website at www. robbiesoccertournament.com. Al Rivett’s column appears every third Friday. E-mail arivett@durhamregion. com It’s Robbie time again Y ou may not know it, but when you stop in at your local hospital a whole lot of learning is going on. While you make your way through tri- age and when you are being diagnosed and treated, more than 1,000 medical students are experiencing the practi- cal, on-the-job training they need to absorb to be the professionals of the future. Staff and physicians at Lakeridge Health continuously pass on their knowledge and expertise to bring the next generation online to care for us. And the launch of the Lakeridge Health Education and Research Net- work earlier this month is the perfect way to salute the hospital learning environment. LHEARN, as it’s called, will incorporate a memorandum of understanding between Lakeridge Health and Queen’s University and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology to expand health sciences education and research. It will also involve the construction of a $4.5-million centre at Lakeridge Health Oshawa. The centre will include high-tech classrooms, a 250-seat audi- torium, a health-care simulation room, library and media room. While students are learning in a brand new environment they should also be prime candidates to be recruit- ed to work at Durham area hospitals. Dr. Mark Taylor, vice-president of medical and academic affairs at Lak- eridge, knows the value of a top-qual- ity learning environment for potential medical staff. “It’s a great tool for recruiting health- care professionals. If people train here and are impressed with the facilities, they will be more likely to work here,” Dr. Taylor said. With a constant need to replace doctors, nurses and researchers, and competition for these professionals nationwide, Lakeridge Health needs all the advantages it can generate. The new LHEARN centre, expected to encompass 19,500 square feet and to open in 2010, will be a prominent piece of the puzzle in making sure Durham is well-serviced by the best-trained pro- fessionals long into the future. At the very least Lakeridge Health will enhance its prestige and offer a place for UOIT students to learn their trade. Al Rivett Support of imports takes dollars out of North America To the editor: Re: GM workers are spoiled, Lori Bar- dowell letter, June 22 I have been reading the constant bar- rage of “hate” letters regarding General Motors from Canadians that would rather support the economies of Japan, Germany or Korea, but the letter from Lori Bardow- ell takes the cake. She has elected to sup- port Japan by buying a Honda. Where do these people think the net profit from the sale of these cars go? Not to North Ameri- ca. Ms. Bardowell says she works harder in eight hours than a GM worker does in a week, which only shows she does not have a clue as to what is involved in the plant. I would also hazard a guess she has never worked at GM or been in a GM dealership to see just how North Ameri- can vehicles stack up to the Japanese in quality and price. David Mountenay Newcastle By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — It’s going to cost more to build in Durham starting July 1 after Regional council approved an across- the-board development charges hike. Regional development charges cover water, sewer, regional roads, transit and, in the case of residential devel- opment, emergency medical services, long-term care and development studies. The rate for a single-de- tached house will rise to $18,486, including transit charges, an increase of almost $4,000. The new charges for housing developments kick in on July 1, while the indus- trial and commercial charges are being phased in, with increases each July through 2010. Currently, commercial developers pay 50 per cent of the cost of servicing their lands and industrial devel- opers don’t pay anything to the Region. Commercial de- velopment charges will rise to $17.31 per square gross square foot, which will cover 100 per cent of the cost, and industrial fees will rise to $4.35 per gross square foot, covering 50 per cent of the cost to the Region. There are some new ex- ceptions to the fees, including no development charges for houses of worship and a 25- per cent development charge for office buildings. At last Wednesday’s region- al council meeting, however, Ajax Councillor Colleen Jor- dan was unable to introduce a motion to exempt social housing from development charges. Instead, Regional councillors will consider so- cial housing projects on a case-by-case basis and could consider other options, such as issuing a rebate equivalent to the development charge. “It’s much easier to pro- vide funding outside of the development charge, and you don’t get into the arguments on what is social housing and what isn’t,” said Finance Commissioner Jim Clapp. Earlier in the meeting, Oli- ver Forbes spoke on behalf of the Ajax Municipal Hous- ing Corporation, asking for an exemption for a new af- fordable housing building to be funded by the federal and provincial governments. “Our request for the ex- emption is appealing to your decency and compassion for those that are less fortunate,” he said. April Cullen, Oshawa coun- cillor and health and social services committee chair- woman, however, said the de- velopment charges were part of the request for proposal process for the building and it would be unfair to change it now given that some may not have put forward a proposal knowing the development charges were included. “The problem is this kind of thing has to be done at the beginning of the process not when you start to build,” she said. The Region has commit- ted to reducing property taxes on the building by charging a residential instead of a multi-residential rate, which is about 2.5 times higher. Council passed a resolution that would charge the Ajax project, and three others in Durham, the current fees as opposed to the higher ones that kick in on July 1. Still, Coun. Jordan was dis- appointed. “It seems at every turn we’ve been blocked. In my mind it tells me that the Re- gion doesn’t want to address the 4,000 people waiting on the list for affordable hous- ing.” As well, Oshawa Coun. Brian Nicholson wanted to postpone the introduction of industrial development charges until 2010. Coun. Nicholson’s plan would have meant industrial charges were in place in time for new build at the Darling- ton nuclear station. He said he wants to stop barriers to investment, real or perceived, especially in the manufacturing industry. But, Oshawa Mayor John Gray, who chairs the plan- ning committee, said he believed firmly in develop- ment charges for industry. He added Durham already has the cheapest land in the GTA, but developers are by- passing it because they’re not serviced. pickeringtowncentre.com FIND YOUR GREEN STYLE Congratulations to the Teen Bag Design Contest Winners!

Reserves emptied as trustees approve budget By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Staff cuts, school closures, and cleaned out reserves high- light this year’s Catholic school board budget. The $227-million bud- get, approved June 23, is balanced, but uses up the last of the Durham Catho- lic District School Board’s $2.6 million operating re- serves, historically drawn on to offset expenses. The first challenge for next year’s budget process is getting by without that extra money, said Ryan Putnam, superintendent of business. Even with the five school closures and use of the remaining reserves, the board still needed $1.1 million in savings to bal- ance the budget and com- ply with the Education Act. Some factors in the 2008/2009 budget pro- cess included the limited amount of reserves to take from compared to previ- ous years, declining en- rolment, and the pupil accommodation review process in Oshawa, Mr. Putnam said. “We have received much input and feedback, that feedback has been appre- ciated,” Mr. Putnam said during his budget presen- tation. The board’s enrolment trend continues down- ward with 1,070 less stu- dents than the 2007/2008 year, bringing in less rev- enue to the board. Spending on programs and services to support students has been main- tained, said the budget report, but other areas re- quired some changes. Staffing adjustments contributed to savings of $520,000. Funding for the chief information officer, $150,000; media relations officer, $65,000; and legal counsel, $150,000, has been provided through realigning departmental and staffing budgets, says the report. Another $580,000 in re- ductions came from de- partmental budgets. “They trimmed our budget a lot,” Whitby Trustee Mary Ann Martin said, adding there’s more money going into the classroom to improve and enhance education. During budget discus- sions, Trustee Martin ar- gued against the addition of new positions, particu- larly the media officer and the $65,000 salary, but later relented. “Why put money in a position when we can put it back in the classroom,” she said, but added she understood following the explanation by director of education Paul Pulla. The media officer will provide communication to school councils, material for the board website, and explain the importance of Catholic education. “I’m okay with that, oth- erwise I would have voted against that,” Trustee Mar- tin said. The budget also pro- vides service enhance- ments such as noon-hour busing for kindergarten kids, a pilot all-day kin- dergarten program, and first day secretarial cover- age. Wages and benefits are expected to be paid through the Ministry of Education’s Provincial La- bour Framework, the re- port said.

Last year, more than 1,400 medical students received training from staff and physi- cians at Lakeridge, making it one of the largest community hospital training sites in On- tario. “The volume of training and research at Lakeridge is probably the best-kept secret here in Durham,” said Lak- eridge CEO Brian Lemon. This week it was a secret no more, with the launch of the Lakeridge Health Educa- tion and Research Network (LHEARN). The initiative, which was unveiled at a special event Friday morning, will see Lakeridge sign a memoran- dum with UOIT and Queen’s University, to expand health sciences education and re- search. As well, a $4.5-million LHEARN centre will be built at the Lakeridge Health Os- hawa site, featuring high-tech classrooms, a 250-seat audi- torium, health care simula- tion room, library and media centre. Dr. Mark Taylor, vice-presi- dent of medical and academ- ic affairs for Lakeridge, said the project will provide huge benefits for the community. “It’s a great tool for recruit- ing health-care professionals. If people train here and are impressed with our facilities, they will be more likely to work here,” he said. “And we will use the LHEARN facility to offer education sessions for patients and families.” Also thrilled was Dr. Caro- lyn Byrne, dean of the faculty of health sciences at UOIT. She said LHEARN will pro- vide local students with a hands-on learning experi- ence and allow for collabora- tion between different types of health-care workers. “People from different professions will learn how to practise together, just like they would in the real world,” she said. The Oshawa Hospital Foundation will soon kick off a fundraising effort to fi- nance the project with a goal of opening the doors by 2010. Foundation CEO Jim Sze- man said they have already given $400,000 to the proj- ect and is confident the rest will come quickly. The 19,500 square-foot LHEARN centre will be built as part of the Lak- eridge Oshawa north wing. 6kV^aVWaZBdcYVn";g^YVnjci^a'eb PICK ’N PAIR LUNCH COMBOS UBHOJUSBU4 Choose from over 60 combinations AJAX 155 Kingston Road East (across from Costco) To Go 905-426-6440 23 locations across Canada durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 10 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 27, 2008 Walter Passarella/ News Advertiser photo The LHEARN program (Lakeridge Health Education And Research Network), a partnership between UOIT and Lakeridge Health and Queen’s University, was launched recently in the bowels of the Oshawa hospital with, left to right, Lewis Tomalty (Queen’s), Marion Saunders (Chairwoman of the Board of Lakeridge Health), Mark Taylor (VP Medicine and Academic Affairs), Chuck Powers (Presi- dent of the hospital foundation), Robert Bordessa (UOIT President) and Lakeridge CEO Brian Lemon. ‘LHEARNing’ at Lakeridge one of area’s ‘best kept secrets’ PICKERING — There’s still time to enrol your kids in summer camp in Pickering.

Former MPP held finance portfolio for a while AJAX — The board of di- rectors will continue to focus the hospital on quality improve- ment over the next two years, says the new chairwoman of the Rouge Val- ley Health System board of directors. “Changes are beginning at Rouge Valley’s two hospital cam- puses targeting excellence and top-quar- tile health care,” said Janet Ecker in a press release. Ms. Ecker was named RVHS board chairwoman following the hospital’s 10th Annual General Meeting of Members at the Ajax Con- vention Centre Tuesday. She served as MPP for Ajax- Pickering for eight years during the 1990s and 2000s. During that time, she served as the Ontario minister of finance, minis- ter of education, minister of com- munity and social services and gov- ernment house leader. Before that, she was the policy director for the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. She served as the vice-chair- woman of the RVHS board of directors for the past two years. Outgoing chairman Tom Atkins has completed his two-year term. “We’re delighted that Janet will continue to serve on our board and in our community in her new lead- ership role,” Mr. Atkins said. “At Rouge Valley, our focus is to provide the very best in quality health care, and we look forward to Janet’s leadership in advancing that commitment.” A growing focus on com- munity outreach and com- munication and continued physician engagement will also be a focus of the board, Ms. Ecker said. She looks forward to leading RVHS along with her board col- leagues through a positive transformation period. “In short, Rouge Valley is moving itself from the mid- dle of the pack to the top by putting its patients and family members first,” she said. Three outgoing board members are: Neil William- son; Enza Ronaldi; and Kim Kinder. Replacing them are: David Barlow, recently re- tired from CIBC as senior vice-president of corporate risk and insurance servic- es; Patrick McNeil, former RVHS foundation board chairman and senior vice- president of nuclear gener- ation development at OPG; and Lynda Mungall, presi- dent of the Mungall Con- sulting Group. A member of the board since 2001, Jay Kaufman has been appointed vice-chair- man. He is a former Ontario government deputy minis- ter of finance, secretary to the treasury board and as- sistant deputy minister of health, and current presi- dent of KTA Inc.

The break, which caused the school to temporarily close at noon on June 11, created pre- dominantly flooring issues, such as concrete cracking, as well as some shelving damage, said David Visser, superintendent of facilities services at the Durham District School Board. “We’ll stay on it until it’s com- pleted,” Mr. Visser said. He’s not sure how much repairs will cost. “We’re assessing the damage,” Mr. Visser said. The school was closed for half a day when the break occurred because there was no water for the washrooms. Classes resumed the next day. “Although there was some (stu- dent) impact, it was minimized with the exam schedule,” Mr. Viss- er said. The board is working with the insurance agency to do neces- sary repairs. Fixing the main is the board’s responsibility and is com- plete. “The breach was clearly on board property,” Mr. Visser said. He was pleased by how quickly board staff worked to ensure water damage was minimized. “Just controlling the water, mop- ping up the water as quickly as pos- sible,” said Mr. Visser. “They did a wonderful job, very impressed.” Dental Care for Adults, Kids and Great Big Babies. • A Full Range of Dental Treatments - Bring the whole family. • Saturday & Evening Appointments - To serve you better. • Flexible Payment Options - Helping you get the treatment you want. • A Relaxing Atmosphere - Virtual vision glasses, stereo headphones to help ensure you have a pleasant visit.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 27, 2008 PAGE 15 Pdurhamregion.com durhamregion.comP PAGE 16 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 27, 2008 Temporary building for Pickering vet gets go-ahead Ontario Municipal Board sides with developer By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The On- tario Municipal Board has ruled in favour of San Fran- cisco By the Bay developers concerning the construc- tion of a temporary build- ing. Last month SR&R Bay Ridges Ltd. and the owner of the Millennium City Veteri- nary Hospital (MCVH), Dr. Janet Sawyer, appeared at an OMB meeting regarding the construction of a tem- porary building for retail space just off the Bay Ridges property for San Francisco By the Bay. The MCVH is the only business remaining at the old Bay Ridges Plaza and Dr. Sawyer signed a lease good until 2010 with a five-year renewal option. In January, the committee of adjustment approved five variances that would allow for a temporary building for retail space, including pro- viding nine parking spots instead of the required 10. Dr. Sawyer filed an appeal of the committee’s decision in February, not wanting to relocate there, and SR&R appealed that to the OMB last month. That meeting was held see whether a full hearing on the matter would take place. The OMB ruled it was not warranted and SR&R can construct the building. Dr. Sawyer was con- cerned: the parking is defi- cient in terms of numbers, location and orientation; deliveries to her building will be complicated; the poor design creates safety issues for clients and staff; and putting up a building that will only be torn down is not sustainable. SR&R argued Dr. Sawyer’s appeal was not made in good faith, was frivolous, vexatious, and for the purpose of delay. But Dr. Sawyer stated in her affidavit she just wants “a mutually acceptable agree- ment on cost compensation associated with breaking our lease and starting up in a new outside location.” The OMB said the prime concern in the case is a ten- ant in dispute of a landlord, not wanting to accept the location at the adjacent Square Boy Lands or in the new building, but prefer- ring to move and wanting appropriate compensation, which is beyond the Board’s jurisdiction. But it said “the Board does not find that the appeal was made in bad faith nor that it was frivo- lous nor vexatious.” It ruled that Dr. Sawyer’s actions were not unreason- able and she does not have to pay any costs to SR&R. It also ruled it’s appropri- ate for the MCVH to be in- volved in the site planning process for the temporary building. Dr. Sawyer found this decision contradicts the board’s notion that her parking and safety concerns are not real. “As an unfortunate result, we are discussing with our lawyer the need to appeal the Board’s decision,” Dr. Sawyer said. Meanwhile, activity on the site is bustling, with townhouses on their way up.

Elected for the 2008-2009 year as student trustees are Pra- teek Gupta of Pickering High School in Ajax, Ian Chislett of Henry Street High School in Whitby, and Joselyn De Jong of Cartwright High School in Scugog. Three regional elections took place in April, in which eight people participated: three ran in the north, three in Ajax/ Pickering, and two in Oshawa/ Whitby. The student elections were introduced in 2007 with Educa- tion Act changes. “You were the first group of student trustees elected through an election process,” Ajax Trustee Marilyn Craw- ford said to the retiring group of student trustees: Meaghann McConney, Scott McGillis, and Danika McNally. Past graduates recognized at Durham’s convocation ceremonies DURHAM — The Durham College Alumnus of Distinction list is getting six new names this year. With careers ranging from com- pany president to graphic designer, the recipients were recognized at the college’s June 19 convocation ceremo- nies. The honour is presented annually to graduates who have been successful in their careers and contributed to their communities, the college and society. The title has been bestowed upon 62 of more than 42,000 graduates. This year’s honorees are Gary Hea- gle, Kristi Honey, Bob Malcolmson, Patricia O’Connor, Stephen Reynolds and Janice Tanton. Mr. Heagle graduated from the elec- tronic technology program in 1980 and has been employed with Bell Canada as a customer systems engineer for 20 years. He’s been instrumental in the col- lege’s pursuit of provincial and na- tional accreditation for its engineering programs through his roles as a pro- gram advisory committee member and an Ontario Association of Certified En- gineering Technicians and Technolo- gists college liaison. Since graduating from the two-year business program in 2004, Ms. Honey has completed her bachelor of man- agement and master’s of business ad- ministration degrees, while establish- ing and becoming president of two successful companies. She is also rec- ognized around the world for train- ing she provides in Microsoft Dynamic Training Skills. Mr. Malcolmson was a student dur- ing the college’s first year and gradu- ated from its business administration/ accounting program in 1970. After working with the Thomson Newspaper Corporation for 20 years, he joined the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce as the chief financial officer and general manager. Ms. O’Connor became the province’s first female paramedic and was part of the first air ambulance team in On- tario, after graduating from the nurs- ing program in 1976. For the past 20 years, she has provided care to patients receiving treatment in the Northwest Territories, and is a founding member of the Canadian Association of Aero- medical Transport. A 1974 graduate of the sports and entertainment administration pro- gram, Mr. Reynolds has worked with the City of Pickering for more than 30 years, most currently as its division head for the culture and recreation department. Ms. Tanton, a 1985 graphic design graduate, has had her artwork sold and featured in more than 800 gal- leries across North America. She has licensed her images to a collector plate distributor and clothing stores. Cur- rently she is the program manager for Aboriginal Leadership and Manage- ment at The Banff Centre where she recently designed a teepee for its 75th anniversary ?FC@;8P?FLIJ1 01''X%d%Æ01''g%d%Ale\)+k_$Alcp(jk /PX "WBJMBCMF BUBMM 550---------------------5505000''"--450$, ''3 &&&,00.0000"#0 (((('54 00000 373 7 6"6&'3'''''''''''33 &&33&&&&&&&&&&&3 &&&&33333333&&&&&&&&33333''333&3&&&&&&&&&,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,......0000000000#0#00"".00000000000##000000#0#0#0##"""",,,,,""..........00000000000000000..,,,,,,,,,,,,,""""""""""""""""###"""""""","""""",,,,"""""""#"""#0000#00000....(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((44444455455544'5'5''5'5**45'***4*4444('555454 00000000000000000000000 33777777007777&333333&&3&333&&3333333333377777777777777707777777&&3 777777777 6666""&-"66 &&666---"""&-""&&7"""""""7"7"""-6-&'''''33&&&&33&&3 &&333&&333'33&&&'3&&,"#00.(*'5407&37"-6&'3&& \TafXcWE 8 ??? bXV]d_P]S\X]X\d\>]T_TaRdbc^^\ $\PhQT^UUTaTS cdcX^]b\aZb?daRWPbT BdQbcXcf^affTf5XaT BD?4AB>=821>><%6;0BB4B1><1106;867C8=6BC82: $$$$4%""/" '''''''',43&803,444 444 $063$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$444"4"µ4"44""%""//""/""""""%%%""$"""""""""""""""""""""""""""%"%"%"444"////""44""""""$"""""""/"""//"""%"%""%%""444444 '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''8&&44333333333&,4,,4,,,,,,,,,,,,440000000033333333384,,,3300808088&8&8833 44488888888880000444,,,,3,333000 44''''''33333333&&&3&888888888&88000000033303,33,,3,,4,,444 4444444444444444444444444 &&$$$$$$$&&$$$3366060600000000006666666663333300003$33$$0000 $40000066660033333$3$3$$$&$$$&$& $"/"%"µ4 '*3&803,44063$& FJ?8N8 (-B`e^Jki\\kN% :cfj\[:XeX[X;Xp#Alcp(jk $"/"%"%":'3&8 03,4$$$$$$$$$$$$""%"%"%""""""""""//""""""""%///%%"""""""""%"""///"""""""""///$"/"%%"%%%%%%%%:::::":":":""""""""":::%"":":'''''33333**&***&&3*333 &&'3 &8888888888888888888888 44444 444,4,,330000003,33,0 4,4,400,3 ,33000,,,8 0 3 ,,4$"/"%"%":'*3&803,4 [?aXRTbV bcTSAAT]Vb^]BdVBBB ccSBBPeX]Vb^]BdVVTbcTSATcPX[?aXRTb>9d[h 5XaTTf^aZbBP[Tb>UUTTa4]9 h B a SU5XaTf^aZbBP[Tb>UUTa4]S9d[h 8A8O$;li_XdI\^`feXc:\eki\ J:8I9FIFL>?$B\ee\[p:fddfej N?@K9P$*'9ifX[c\X]8m\% :<EKI8CKFIFEKF$)')CX`i[;i`m\ KFIFEKFN<JK$EFIK?PFIB$(0)9i`[^\cXe[8m\el\ DLJBFB89FLE;$?@>?N8P((Efik_Yfle[1 Efik_f]9Xii`\#()bdJflk_f]Fi`cc`X#aljkX]k\iFifC`e\(' J:8I9FIFL>?<8JK$:\[Xi?\`^_kjGcXqX#-)0DXib_XdI[% J:8I9FIFL>?N<JK$N\o]fi[?\`^_kjGcXqX#)'./CXni\eZ\8m\<%,"#00.

Changing the culture around energy use is need- ed, said Peter Love, the chief energy conservation officer for the Ontario. “Changing a light bulb, that’s not enough,” he said. Attitudes on drinking and driving have changed and a similar move is needed on energy use, he said. “These things can hap- pen, but it takes time. It takes a buzz and it takes community leaders,” said Mr. Love. He was speaking on Tuesday to the Communi- ty Advisory Council of the Pickering nuclear station. “Eighty-two per cent of greenhouse gases in On- tario comes from the pro- duction of energy. When we close our coal plants, our production of greenhouse gases will go from 30 mil- lion tonnes to less than five million tonnes. No one has a target as large as ours,” he said. But closing the coal-fired plants “is not going to be easy. They produce a tre- mendous amount of energy and it’s easy technology,” he said. The Conservation Bu- reau, part of the Ontario Power Authority, has a plan covering 20 years and cost- ing $10 billion, with $1.2 billion being spent over the next three years, he said. “It’s more than $1 million each day.” “The money will come from every ratepayer in the province. It’s a very impor- tant plan,” Mr. Love said. He outlined the three Es of conservation -- employ- ment, economy and the en- vironment. “Conservation is good for employment. It’s labour intensive,” he said, noting about eight million people in the United States and 300,000 in Ontario are em- ployed in the conservation business. It saves money, so it’s good for the economy, he said. “For a school or a mu- nicipality, it means they can hire another day-care work- er.” Conservation is also good for the environment, he said, since “four in five Canadians have seen cli- mate change and they don’t know what to do about it. “We know it’s man-made, but we don’t agree on how bad it is,” he said. “The challenge with conservation and electric- ity is it’s invisible,” Mr. Love said, noting recycling is vis- ible through Blue Box pro- grams. Cara Clairman, the vice- president of sustainable development for Ontario Power Generation, also outlined some of the initia- tives the company has been doing to managing green- house gas emissions. Since 1994, OPG has had a program to improve ener- gy efficiency at its facilities. “We set up an internal program and each division had to reach milestones,” she said, noting managers were docked pay if targets were reached. From 1994 to 2007, the company saved 2.3 ter- rawatts of electricity. That worked out to an annual savings for $109 million, she said, while also avoiding 2.3 million tonnes of carbon di- oxide emissions.

About 30 people attended a pick- et last Monday regarding a new idea by the CE LHIN. James Meloche, senior director of planning, integra- tion and community engagement, presented at the 2008 CE LHIN Symposium a new program called the 1% Challenge. The initiative to meet authenticity, abundance and alignment, means the LHIN and its hospitals will reallocate one per cent of hospital operating budgets from fiscal year 2007-08 by 2010, and by no later than December, 2010, $10.3 million will be reinvested or real- located to CE LHIN health service providers. The CE LHIN believes this will help identify partners, better align the provision of health services between hospitals, and help focus on appropriateness of access and quality care. It could help reduce wait times and offer more commu- nity-based care for mental health patients, for example. “You really need to get people to work together,” said Katie Cronin-Wood, CE LHIN communications lead. OPSEU attended the symposium to challenge the movement of the mental health beds from Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital, saying that will put additional pres- sures on other hospitals in Durham Region, as well as the announce- ment to transfer the one per cent to community agencies. OPSEU campaigns officer Rick Janson fears for the money being taken out of the hospital, calling it a blanket ideology, and something that does not represent individual communities. “It’s a lot of wishful thinking,” he said. “There’s no proof it will work.” All hospitals in the CE LHIN (ex- cept two in Haliburton with low operating budgets) will be asked to participate in the new method, Mr. Meloche said. But, rather than taking on a pre- scriptive approach, hospitals will be responsible for seeing what the greatest demands in the community are and which community agencies can help. If it were to happen that one hos- pital didn’t meet its challenge of relocating the one per cent, oth- ers wouldn’t pick up the slack, Mr. Meloche explained. “This is about setting goals for the system,” he said, adding setting targets are necessary for changes to take place. Mr. Janson also fears this could lead to job cuts in the CE LHIN. But, Mr. Meloche said while he can understand the concerns, it’s pre- mature to make those predictions and the goal is not to cut jobs. To view the full report, visit www. centraleastlhin.on.ca and click on June Symposium. My work is really valued, both by other staff and by the patients. It’s exciting to be part of a team of professionals. Ask anyone at the hospital and they will tell you that we all work together, supporting each other. We celebrate our successes together and work through the challenging times. We work with a great team of doctors who value our contributions and con- sider us a vital part of the team. Recently I was the team leader on a project that implemented a Rapid Assessment Zone in the department. This change has improved both patient and staff satisfaction. I was able to bring my ideas and experience to the team and bring a great change to the department. The hospital offers many benefits to working here. Our salaries are competitive with ONA rates, there are full and part-time opportunities, flexible scheduling and a generous education bursary program. All of that, and for many of us… it’s right in our own backyard. Markham is a great community and a really great place to live. It’s also a fantastic place to work.

Vic O’Hearn, a State Farm agent in Ajax, said hail dam- age would be covered under the comprehensive clause of an auto policy. Without comprehensive coverage, a policy owner “wouldn’t have coverage,” Mr. O’Hearn said. “Comprehensive coverage for falling objects, like airplanes or ice from above” would cover the damage, said Marsha Jones Dooley, an insurance agent in Pickering Village. “You have to have that kind of coverage on an auto policy,” Mr. O’Hearn said. Ms. Jones Dooley said a few of her clients suffered dam- aged from the hail. If someone’s windshield were damaged, most clients probably wouldn’t file a claim. However, if there was pitting on the vehicle, the damage “could result in a couple thousand” dollars in damages. Also, aluminum siding on houses could have been dam- aged, she said, and that would be covered by the homeown- er’s insurance. All hail ‘comprehensive’ insuranceRoger Anderson Regional Chairman Last year: B+ This past year, the issue of incinera- tion has been burning up Regional Council and chairman Roger Ander- son has certainly been in the hot seat. He’s guided the Region through two important milestones: the selec- tion of a Courtice site for the plant and the approval of the business case. There’s no arguing that Mr. Anderson has been effective in advocating for what he believes is the best option for Durham. As it stands, the majority of Regional councillors agree with him. Mr. Anderson has also seen vic- tories in the area of public transit, a cause he has long championed. He’s also fighting hard for more local jobs and employment lands as the Region works on conforming to the Province’s new growth plan. For the victories he’s won this year and the fights he’s continuing to fight, we put Mr. Anderson at the head of the class.

When the Ministry of Education refused to deal with the byelection, she said staff there had “wiped their hands of it from the beginning.” She was easily re-elected for a second term as chair- woman. She also remains a member of the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association, bringing back information from the meetings and localizing it to the Durham board. In nominating her for the chairwoman’s position, Scugog Trustee Joyce Kelly called her professional, gracious and efficient. Attendance: 12/13 board and special meetings, 11/11 standing committee meetings Expenses: $3,230.70 Lisa Hill Ajax Wards 3 and 4 DDSB trustee Although she remains a quieter member of the school board, Trustee Hill is participating more at the board table than in the past. When she speaks, she knows what she’s talking about, as she demonstrated during the Oshawa byelection issue. She said other municipalities used the same election documents as Oshawa, but were able to catch ineligible candidates. Attendance: 13/13 board, 10/11 standing committee meetings Expenses: $807.63 Janice Oldman Ajax Durham Catholic District School Board trustee Elected vice-chairwoman of the Catholic board, Trustee Oldman appears to do as little in the position as the job’s previous holder, Scott Murdock. She is not a vocal or prominent member of the board. She voted against Oshawa school closures intended to address declining enrolment. She needs to start being more vocal about her reasons for voting and about what’s happening in her schools. Attendance: 21/22 board meetings Expenses: $1,905.36 Pickering DDSB trustee Although his proposal for school uniforms was defeated, at least he proposed it and included some good support- ing reasons. He referenced the success of uniforms he witnessed while a trustee in Scarborough in the mid 1990s. He stays well-informed on events in his community and is often able to meaningfully add to the conversation at the board table. Attendance: 12/13 board, 11/11 standing committee meetings Expenses: $2,981.24 Pickering DDSB trustee Trustee Croteau is effective in her role and shows a genuine desire to improve the system for students. Well-in- formed on the conditions of the schools in her area, she proposed a study on how the board can bring its older facilities up to 2008 standards and it was approved. She is an active member at the board table and shows con- cerns for student safety, such as with posting students’ last name initial online, even with the parent’s consent. She said someone on the website would already know which school the student went to and could start a search for them based on that. Attendance: 13/13 board, 10/11 standing committee meetings Expenses: $965.54 Pickering DCDSB trustee Trustee McCafferty is always well-informed and on top of issues surrounding Pickering, such as walking routes for areas being reclassified as non-transporting. He replaced Whitby Trustee Mary Ann Martin as board chairman, who had held the position since 2002, and brings a lot of experience to the role. Attendance: 22/22 special and board meetings Expenses: $4,725.40 Sherry Croteau Jim McCafferty Pickering DCDSB trustee His attendance, while not awful, is the poorest of any school board member. While he has taken the easy route out of some issues, such as abstaining to vote on motions regarding the board’s China trip, he has taken a stance on other, more serious topics, such as school closings. “It becomes where do you draw the line and how fast,” said Trustee Bannister before voting for the five Oshawa closures.

Often, this means hosting a backyard party or a barbeque at the cottage with friends. Here are a few tips to make sure that your summertime soiree is a success: • Choose a Party Theme. Will it be a Garden Party or a Beach Bash? Whatever you decide, decorate and choose your food and drink accord- ingly for a party to remember. • Send out Eco-Friendly Invites. Use a free online invitation service to invite your friends and keep track of your guest list without affecting a single tree. • Set up an Outdoor Survival Sta- tion. Keep a table stocked with sun- screen and bug repellent so that every- one can enjoy the outdoor party. • Crank up the Summertime Tunes. Hook up a Sirius Satellite Radio with its portable boombox to play continuous commercial-free music to keep your guests dancing all night. • Light up the Night. Use paper lanterns to decorate your yard so the party can keep going even when the sun goes down. And the most important thing to re- member when planning a summertime party is to have fun. This is the most laid back season of the year, so make sure you are organized before your guests arrive so you can have a good time once they do.

Founded by legendary music producers Bob Doidge and Daniel La- nois, the former is lending his bass talents to the new Gypsygrass disc and the studio has an impressive list of clients including U2, Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan. Gypsygrass performs in Pickering in what Hanko describes as “a musical, art experience for people.” Wine, chocolate, visual art and music combine July 5 in the Music and Arts Night at Avtel Media in Pickering. “In this day and age, it’s a real difficult road for musicians,” she says. Hanko has been looking for a venue where musicians and other artists can show their stuff in a suitable environment and says Avtel certainly suits her purposes. The event features wine and wine-tast- ing from Vineyard Estates and fine Belgian chocolate from Sweets Galore in Pickering. As well, there’s visual art for viewing and for sale from the Cultural Expressions art gallery in Pickering Village, including work by Sha- ron Steinhaus and other Ajax Creative Arts members. Port Perry shooter Darren Scala will have his camera in hand to record the event and possibly display some of his photo- graphs. And, of course, there’s Gypsygrass, a band that blends “a mosaic of musical styles” and influences to create a unique sound. If you must categorize them, Folk Rock would be the label, but the band’s music defies easy label- ling. “It sort of has to be seen live to get a sense of what we really do,” Hanko said. Gypsygrass has been around for about 15 years and has released two discs. Of the recent material, Hanko said the new songs reflect reggae, Celtic and other influences. There’s “some epic kind of songs” and even a Tango. You can’t accuse Hanko of being stuck in a musical rut. “I write stuff and whatever happens, hap- pens,” she said of how a finished song turns out. Once she performed in public, Hanko “got the bug” and has never looked back. Gypsygrass’s core is Hanko, daughter Shan- na Hanko, Richard Nimmo, Karen Phillips and Cynthia Steele. A host of studio and guests artists include accordionist Jaro Czerwinec, who recorded and tours with The Cowboy Junkies, and veteran drummer Aubrey Dayle. For more information on the band, visit www.gypsygrass.ca or see its Facebook pro- file. Avtel Media is at 1020 Brock Rd., Unit 1008, between Hwy. 401 and Bayly Street, on the west side. Doors open at 7 p.m. and Gypsy- grass takes the stage at 8 p.m. There’s no cover charge.

Patriots get past Innisfil Wolfpack in lacrosse West Durham junior ‘C’s set for three-game homestand DURHAM — A slim win over the Innisfil Wolfpack on Tuesday enabled the West Durham Patriots to take over third place in the OLA Ontario Junior ‘C’ Lacrosse League standings. In a closely contested game with both teams missing a few regulars, the Patriots came away with a 7-6 victory over the host Wolfpack. The victory helped soothe the sting of a 9-7 loss to the Shelburne Vets at the Pickering Recreation Complex, also known as ‘Fort Pickering’, on Monday night. West Durham held a slim 6-5 lead going into the third period, but couldn’t hold back Shel- burne, which scored four times be- fore the Patriots answered with a late goal. Mike Hart with three, Colin Skyv- ington, George Jimas, Craig Espinho and Adam Zulak were the West Dur- ham goal scorers against Shelburne. The West Durham Patriots are sponsored by the United Employee’s Credit Union and Canadian Security Solutions. The Patriots next three games are at home starting on Saturday, July 5 at 3 p.m. against the Innisfil Wolf- pack followed on Sunday, July 6 at 7 p.m. against Caledon. They finish up the home stand on Monday, July 7 at 8 p.m. against Centre Wellington. PATRIOT POINTS: The Patriots currently have five players in the top 25 in league scoring... The Saturday, July 5 game against Innisfil is part of a doubleheader with the Ajax-Pickering Rock playing the Owen Sound Woods- men at 7 p.m. Rock raring to go against Brooklin Senior ‘B’ lacrosse club hoping to break off three-game losing slide By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — If the Ajax-Pickering Rock are going to break off a three- game losing streak, they’ll have to do it against their chief rivals in the OLA senior ‘B’ lacrosse league. The Rock (4-5, third place in East Division) host the Brooklin Mer- chants (8-4, first in East Division) at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Saturday at 8 p.m. The teams will meet for the fourth and final time of the regular season, with Ajax- Pickering currently leading the sea- son series two wins to one. Ajax-Pickering head coach Paul St. John says the contest takes on extra significance as a win would help the Rock in their goal to fin- ish ahead of the second-place Norwood Nitro in their division. The second-place team gets the extra home game in the opening best-of-three playoff se- ries. “Our confidence is high because we’ve had success against them this year as two of our four wins have come against Brooklin. We know we’re going to be in a battle this Saturday and we look forward to the challenge,” said St. John. Last Saturday, the defending league champion Owen Sound Woodsmen pulled out a close 7- 6 win over the visiting Rock at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre in Owen Sound. The Rock gave up a goal in the waning seconds of the second pe- riod. The hangover from the late goal lasted well into the third period as Owen Sound went up 7-4 before Ajax-Pickering closed the gap to a single goal, but could get no closer. Captain Mark Craig led the way with a four-point night, including a hat trick. Travis Bland, Bill McLean and Mike Daley added single mark- ers. Jamie Plunkett chipped in with five assists. After Saturday’s contest, the Rock has two games remaining in the regular-season schedule, with both games on home floor. The Rock host Norwood at the complex on Friday, July 4 at 8:30 p.m. and then finish up on Saturday, July 5 when they host the Woodsmen at 7 p.m. DURHAM — The Durham Eclipse Junior Women’s (U19) basketball team more than held its own against some top west- ern New York State talent in the Niagara Rapids AAU tournament played at Canisius University in Buffalo. The Eclipse battled to a berth in the tournament final, where after taking a seven-point half- time lead, Durham ultimately fell in the closing minutes to the Rochester Lady Lakers 56-47. The Eclipse summer team is a blend of established university bound players like Pickering’s Rhea Pascal, a full scholarship player headed to American In- ternational University in Sep- tember, and dynamic underage talents such as Whitby’s Chloe Levy at point guard, and swing- men Sam Jacobs of Courtice and Rebecca Lyons of Whitby. The Eclipse veterans that car- ried Durham to Europe and over its demanding Ontario club sea- son to its Division 1 ranking in the recent provincial champi- onships were also prominent in Buffalo. Veteran swingman Ruth Hol- land of Peterborough, guard Katelyn McConnell of Whitby, rangy guard Julie Longauer of Whitby, power forward Monique Johnson of Ajax, and capable forward Hilary Mair of Peterbor- ough all played with consider- able poise throughout the Ni- agara Rapids event.

Trish French, Sales Representative with Remax Rouge River Realty Ltd., Brokerage says that real estate agents across Scarborough and Durham Region are rescheduling open houses to the middle of the week in order to better accommodate the busy weekends many people have during the summer. “There’s so many things that go on in the summer on weekends,” French says. “This way, the buyer doesn’t have to miss the open houses they truly want to see because they’re away for the weekend.” French says that weeknights are ideal for house hunting because people can stop in to local open houses on their way home from work, as the properties they’re looking at are likely in their neighbourhood. They’ll also have more free time to attend the many weddings, sports tournaments, and cottage trips that summer weekends often offer. Starting July 9 in Scarborough and July 10 in Durham Region, many real estate agents from companies such as Remax, Royal LePage, Prudential, Sutton Group, and Coldwell Banker will be holding evening open houses. Homes that will be having the midweek open house will be marked with a yellow banner attached to the For Sale sign. Depending on how the summer weeknight open houses go, agents may keep them going through the fall, too. And with all the extra time agents will have to help their buyers on weekends, it will be hard for this idea not to take off. “I see this as a real advantage for serious buyers to be able to stay on top of the houses on the market and be able to enjoy their summertime without family timing confl icts,” French says. view on-line at... www.homes.durhamregion.com Friday SShowcasehowcase With warmer weather and longer daylight hours, summer weeknights are the perfect time to shop for your dream home.
