Metrolinx has a $50-billion, 25-year plan to improve trans- portation from Clarington to Hamilton. However, Christine Drimmie, a policy analyst with Durham Region, said there’s a “lack of detail” in terms of how the proj- ects will be funded. As well, over the entire 25 years, “from Durham’s perspec- tive, there are significant gaps in the RTP (Regional Trans- portation Plan),” she said to a meeting of Regional councillors on Tuesday. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson agreed that Durham isn’t as well served with the plan. “It’s evident, at least to me, the consultants they hired were all from west of Yonge Street. If they were from east of Yonge Street, at least they’d know where Durham is,” he said. Durham’s comments have to be sent to Metrolinx by Nov. 14, with the Metrolinx board to ap- prove a final report on Nov. 28. The draft RTP calls for a trans- portation system that’s “seam- less, efficient, convenient, equi- table and user-centred.” Among the aims of the plan are to offer different travel op- tions, reduce the demands on transportation systems, meet the needs of travellers first and build communities that make travel easier. There are eight top priorities, called Big Moves, that include a fast and frequent rapid tran- TAKING PRIDE IN PICKERING Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Elizabeth Evagelacopoulos digs a hole for one of the many trees planted at Alex Robertson Park on the weekend.

Projects in Durham include an express train service to Oshawa and bus and light-rapid trans- portation along Hwy. 2 from Os- hawa to the Scarborough Town Centre. Projects Durham wants in- cluded, but have been left out, include extending Hwy. 407 east of Brock Road, extending Hwy. 404, widening Hwy. 7, complet- ing the Steeles-Taunton connec- tion in Toronto, better service to and from UOIT, and infrastruc- ture improvements to support Seaton, a Pickering airport and new nuclear build at Darlington. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish cau- tioned about how the Region should respond. “We should do everything we can to have a good relationship with Metrolinx. “An adversarial role won’t serve us well,” he said. Oshawa Councillor Nester Pid- werbecki disagreed. “Over the years I’ve been in- volved at the Region, there have been all kinds of deals with the provincial and federal govern- ments. “We’ve always said look east. They’re looking at us very qui- etly,” he said. “I don’t know if we can sit back and be nice and say don’t forget us. It hasn’t worked in the past. I’m not opposed to raising the heat.” The committee’s request for Durham’s requested projects will got o a full council meeting next week and then be sent on to Metrolinx. ✦ Adversarial from page 1 Adversarial approach not in Region’s best interest: Parish Investment Corner prints every other Thursday.

Company Dundee Bank of Canada is a Schedule I Canadian chartered bank and a member of the Scotiabank Group Dean Kory says system failed By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Using his daughter as bait, Dean Kory walked away from Ritson Road Public School with a kindergarten student, no questions asked. No one from the school asked for his iden- tification, name or relationship to the child, even though the boy he walked away with has a strict do-not-release policy in place, Mr. Kory said. He knew the boy would rec- ognize his daughter, and wanted to test the school’s security system to see if that would be enough for them to release the boy to him. “He could have been gone, that’s my fear,” said the boy’s mother, Sarah Jeffrey (not her real name). While Mr. Kory went to pick up the wom- an’s son, Danny (not his real name), Ms. Jeffrey waited in Mr. Kory’s car around the corner. “She (the school official) opened the gate and let him out, hand in hand with (Mr. Kory’s) daughter,” Ms. Jeffrey said. Ms. Jeffrey began questioning the school’s dismissal practices when her current boy- friend picked Danny up from school without being asked for ID. Although her boyfriend is on the list of authorized people to pick up Danny, the teacher asked Danny if that was his dad and he said ‘yes’ – even though her boyfriend is not his father, she said. Danny’s biological father isn’t allowed to pick him up and Ms. Jeffrey said she has court documents she’s shared with the school regarding her situation. Ms. Jeffrey was in an abusive relationship with his fa- ther, she said. “The school has an awareness of my past and why my son is at that school,” Ms. Jeffrey said. She also attends school with him every Wednesday through a parent program. The school board can’t discuss the spe- cifics of any case involving a student in the school, making this situation difficult to comment upon, said Andrea Pidwerbecki, the Durham District School Board’s com- munications manager. “In the presence of an authorized, caring adult, the student can be released, and I’m not aware of a situation where that’s not our practice,” she said. At the beginning of the school year, care- givers filled out forms that include informa- tion on dismissal and release, which should be updated throughout the year, she said. Regarding dismissal practises, kindergar- ten kids are escorted into a fenced area by their teachers and sometimes other school staff as well, with a clipboard. If a known, identified and authorized adult is present and can be seen, the child can be released, Ms. Pidwerbecki said. “If it is not a person they are familiar with, they would ask for ID,” she said. For example, if a mom was picking up a child for six months, then one day dad showed up instead, they would ask for his ID and then check the list to see if he’s au- thorized, Ms. Pidwerbecki said. Ms. Jeffrey, Mr. Kory, and the two children only recently met when Mr. Kory was visiting Ms. Jeffrey’s neighbour. They have no con- nection other than that. During the visit with Ms. Jeffrey’s neigh- bour, Mr. Kory and Ms. Jeffrey began talking about school security and came up with the plan to test the system. “I have an extensive criminal history,” Mr. Kory said, noting the gang-tag tattoos on his hands. “I wasn’t questioned; I wasn’t IDd.” Danny didn’t know Mr. Kory’s name and school officials never asked Mr. Kory for it, he said. After the test, Ms. Jeffrey took Danny to the principal’s office. The school is adding a picture of Ms. Jeffrey and her boyfriend to the checklist now, but should have done that in the first place, she said. They also told her she can attend school with Danny if she feels she has to, she said. Following the test, Mr. Kory and Ms. Jef- frey also called the police, the Children’s Aid Society, and her MPP, all of whom referred her to the school board. “What we want to do is address how this already happened,” Mr. Kory said. He wants it corrected before his three-year-old daugh- ter starts school there. “If it’s not, I’ll do exactly what (Ms. Jef- frey’s) doing; I’ll attend the school every day,” Mr. Kory said. “I want to know children, not only mine... are going to be safe,” Ms. Jeffrey said. “They need to have a better action plan to protect these children from being abducted.” She wants security practises to be in- creased and identification to always be checked. Ms. Jeffrey also wants the mistake admitted publicly. If a parent has a concern about the safety practices in place, they should first talk to the teacher, then to the vice-principal and principal to discuss the issues and possible solutions, Ms. Pidwerbecki said. If they have and still aren’t comfortable, they can call the school’s area team at the board to work with the parent and school for a solution.

Ajax has received its second- quarter (covering July to Septem- ber) share of $1,314,263 from the OLG Slots at Ajax Downs. Under an agreement with On- tario Lottery and Gaming Cor- poration (OLG), the Town, as a host municipality, receives five per cent of the gross slot ma- chine revenues. Since the facility opened in late February of 2006, the Town has received more than $12.3 million. Over the next three years, the Town plans to use half of the slots revenue on debt reduction, re- ducing the amount of money it needs to borrow by $5.7 million. That reduction in turn will save $2.6 million in interest charges and eliminate a tax rate increase of 1.5 per cent. The other 50 per cent will be used to pay for road and trail proj- ects that would have to be paid with increased property taxes. The money collected so far has been “used for important proj- ects and services, including infra- structure improvements around Town, waterfront development and grants to community groups,” said Mayor Steve Parish. The Town set up the Ajax Com- munity Fund with the Commu- nity Foundation of Durham Re- gion, putting in two instalments of $100,000, with the money to help charities in Ajax. www.masterbedroomstores.com Financing Available • Credit Cards Accepted ‘Masterbedroom Is More Than Just The BEST Sleep Selection!‘Masterbedroom Is More Than Just The BEST Sleep Selection!

A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 23, 2008 durhamregion.com Bus service a plus in community To the editor: I have been reading your stories about the bus issues on Audley Road in Ajax. As a fellow bus rider, I completely support keeping this service! The buses cannot possibly make so much noise that the average person would be that irritated. Would the people who have been com- plaining about the noise actually be bus consumers? Would they care about the environment and getting more people to take the bus? Someone who doesn’t need to take a 15- minute walk with two little children in the middle of an ice storm would rather have quiet than convenience. If we are caring about our community, children, seniors, disabled, and our air we should be supporting the buses and all they offer! Crystal Renata Oshawa W e are selling our home and it’s a very new experience. Having moved into this old girl from a rental situation, we’ve never had to go through the selling procedure and all of the madness that entails. But we’re learn- ing fast. Selling a home is not for the faint of heart. And the pain begins the minute you walk an agent through your place. Within seconds, what you thought of as your Taj Mahal, your castle, your cozy little home on the prairie, becomes a rotting, rank, money pit that even a blind, homeless per- son would take a pass on. The beauty of our homes, the comfort of them, in fact what makes a house a home, is that they’re the one place we can really, safely be ourselves. We have all of our stuff there, right out in the open. Our homes are also very accurate indices of our habits, tastes and yes, hygiene. And this is all quite fine as long as no one else is looking. The minute you throw that “For Sale” sign up, though, you put your home and, by definition, your family, under a very revealing microscope that, thanks to MLS, millions of people can peep through daily. And so, a real estate agent’s first, most important and most painful job, is to take the “you” out of your home. “You,” essen- tially, end up stashed in closets, under beds and in dark corners of the basement. Some poor slobs have so much “you” in their homes that they end up putting most of themselves in a rental storage unit. What is left is a nice, clean, uncluttered house that is no more a home than a silk flower is a rose. It’s necessary, but very, very saddening. And of course, it’s at this point that your home wakes up to the fact that you are, in fact, leaving it. And that is the saddest thing of all. As we scurry about the place, vacuuming, dusting and pick- ing things up, we can almost hear the old darling’s plaintive mumbling. . . . “Well, what’s all the hubbub?” “Heyyy . . . where’s all your stuff? Where are all the children’s things? How come the boys’ rooms are so neat? Oh my land -- you’re selling me!” But it gets worse. You subject your home to further hurt and even humiliation every time you bring strangers through it. You get that phone call from the agent who wants a showing and suddenly it’s like your house is some doddering old, ugly aunt you’ve got to hurriedly dress up and pass off as sane. You dash about like a panicked idiot. You throw a dress you hope is not too stained on her, slap some lipstick on her puss and pinch her cheeks to give her a false glow that you hope will last until the strangers are done. And while they’re here you pray to God the old fool doesn’t moan, groan or drool and kibosh the whole deal. Sadly, you can almost come to hate your house. Because once you take your love out of it your home is just a building. And no building is ever perfect. Luckily, that love has to go somewhere and usually it’s a new dwelling. A place to get excited about, to plan over, to dream on. A house that was recently dumped by somebody who was tired of it and is eager to please. That’s the beauty of houses. They’re like dogs in that they just want to be loved. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic- writer, saves some of his best lines for his col- umns. Youth’s difficult path made easier thanks to forum O ften times the best way to get your message across is to show your lis- teners, not just tell them. That was central to the theme of the Durham 2008 Youth Justice Forum, held recently to highlight the trials and tribula- tions youth face in today’s world. One of the highlights of the day involved a presentation by an Anderson CVI drama class, whose members acted out various scenes, including a gay student being bul- lied and a young couple debating about whether to have sex. While the acting was going on, some in the class held signs that said “We are watching” and there was a variety of ads showing on the screen behind them. It sounds as though it was the perfect blend of live action and visual media stim- ulation to get the message across to youth. Lots of show and little tell, in other words. The forum took aim at how commercials, TV shows, magazines and a wide variety of media -- much of it Internet-content driven -- can have an impact on how teen- agers see sexuality, violence and drug use. Needless to say, crime can be a side effect of some of these activities. The message to youth is to be aware. The education event featured other local agencies who work with youth and the law, including the John Howard Society, the Durham Community Legal Clinic, Pinewood Addiction Centre, UOIT and the local school boards. Six guest speakers provided some telling to go along with the showing. UOIT profes- sor Dr. Judith Grant was on hand to discuss how self-esteem, the media and criminal- ity are entwined. Mary-Clare McKinnon, supervisor of criminal duty counsel with Legal Aid Ontario, took students through the perspective of a young person during a typical day in a criminal court. Paul Dobbs, manager of community education for the John Howard Society of Durham Region, drew a link between crime and the media. He spoke about the glorification of gang violence in mov- ies and on TV, and said youth need to be equipped to deal with the pressures they feel to belong when out in the community. The forum is a good step in the battle to keep our young people self-aware and the participants deserve credit for bringing to light an ongoing issue. A house is not a home once you put it up for sale Neil Crone/ Enter Laughing Experts say glorification of gangs, sex, violence can lead teens to wrong side of the law By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Fifteen-year-old Logan Kitch- ener likes to watch shows like Gossip Girl and 90201, but she acknowledges the characters on screen are far from realistic. “A lot of shows like that portray men and women certain ways; then you feel like you have to be like that too,” the Grade 10 Ander- son CVI student says. “It affects how you see yourself.” Logan recently took the stage with her drama class to show attendees at Dur- ham’s 2008 Youth Justice Forum how commer- cials, TV shows, magazines and other media impact the way teens view sexuality, violence and drug use. Holding signs that read “We are watching,” the class acted out a variety of scenes -- includ- ing a gay student being bullied and a young couple debating whether to have sex -- as pro- vocative ads flashed on a screen behind them. The Youth Justice Forum is an annual edu- cation event organized by local agencies that deal with youth or the law, including the John Howard Society, Durham Community Legal Clinic, Murray McKinnon Foundation, Pine- wood Addiction Centre, Legal Aid Ontario, UOIT and the local school boards. The aim is to help parents, educators and ser- vice providers learn more about how youth in- tersect with the law. This year’s theme was “Self Esteem, Media and the Link to Criminality.” “There is a link between crime and the media,” said Paul Dobbs, manager of commu- nity education for the John Howard Society of Durham Region. “We see it in the youth that come through our doors. The glorification of gangs is a big thing. Kids watch movies and TV shows and they show gang members standing up for each other. They want that sense of belonging, to be part of a group that has a name in the community and inspires fear.” Mr. Dobbs said the forum helps those who work with kids un- derstand what they’re up against on the streets and in their high school hallways, and adapt services to better reach them. In addition to the drama class presentation, this year’s Youth Justice Forum featured six guest speakers, including UOIT professor Dr. Judith Grant, who addressed the links between self-esteem, media and criminality; and Mary- Clare McKinnon, supervisor of criminal duty counsel with Legal Aid Ontario, who walked through a youth perspective on a day in crimi- nal court.

Two Pickering residents oppose traffic calming on Fairport Road By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Speeding is an issue on all Pickering streets and making Fairport Road an exception will only cost taxpayers, said a resident at the Pickering Executive Commit- tee meeting Wednesday. “We must ensure our taxpayer dollars are used well,” Charlotte Sheardown said. “Of course, (speeding) is not good, but more economical solutions must be used to curb the bad driving habits of people.” Fairport Road Citizens for Traffic Calm- ing has been working hard to get assistance from the City in order to manage the speed- ing on Fairport Road. Possible traffic calming devices the group has suggested include: roundabouts; raised medians; and, visual distractions, such as street painting or signs. But Ms. Sheardown and her daughter, Heather Pattison, who live on a nearby street, have concerns, and also listed a num- ber from other residents. “Why live in denial?” Ms. Sheardown said. “Fairport Road is a main thoroughfare. It always has been and should remain so.” The committee has estimated the po- tential cost for traffic calming at $250,000, which Ms. Sheardown found astronomical, not to mention added maintenance costs. She said having a police officer monitoring the road 365 days a year wouldn’t cost a frac- tion of that. Traffic calming committee member Gayle Clow said that is the highest possible amount and the group simply went with that since underestimating would be unfair. She said the committee has received mostly positive feedback, and people are even asking for help to take similar measures in their own neighbourhoods. Ms. Sheardown said the proposal will cause problems for drivers who need to get to south Pickering and Hwy. 401. “This proposal will only add to the cur- rent gridlock of Pickering’s road system,” she said, adding even Council has admitted traf- fic will increase as development in the north continues. She called the plan “self-serving” so Fairport residents can have their own little neigh- bourhood, since the street will only be used by locals after the measures are put in. Ms. Clow said that is not the group’s in- tention. In fact, in the past, when a gated community was proposed nearby, Fairport residents opposed it. Ms. Sheardown said she was insulted when the committee said in its proposal the only people against the proposal were people who wished to speed on the street. Ms. Clow said essentially that’s true since the group’s only intention is to slow drivers down on the street that has a speed limit of 40 kilometres per hour. “That’s all we want is for people to slow down,” she said. Another issue Ms. Sheardown has is that traffic calming could slow down emergency vehicles. Ms. Clow said the group made sure to choose measures with the least impact to those vehicles, and there will be no speed bumps. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean suggested installing photo radar, something he has pushed for in the past, and Ms. Shear- down agreed. The final report on the Fairport Road pro- posal will come to Council in November.

It also wants the community to be in- formed that this survey is exempt from the new National Do Not Call List. The health information survey, Rapid Risk Factor Surveillance System (RRFSS), was first introduced in 2001. RRFS is conducted on behalf of the health department by the Institute for Social Re- search at York University. Every month, 150 randomly selected adults are invited to take part in the telephone sur- vey. The responses have provided insight for the health department into the health knowledge, behaviours, and attitudes of area residents. “For almost eight years, RRFSS has pro- vided information that has helped the health department to plan for health programs and services that are targeted to meet local needs,” explained Janet Phillips, an epide- miologist with the health department, in a press release. “Since our survey was first introduced, over 10,500 area residents have participated, providing important informa- tion that the health department has used as part of its ongoing program planning.” Future individuals who may receive a call are encouraged to help in planning for the community by providing feedback on cur- rent health issues. Additional information on the National Do Not Call List is available at www.Innte-dncl. gc.ca. For more information about the RRSFF survey or health department programs and services, visit www.region.durham.on.ca.

Top Annandale men’s curling rink disbands Gord Norton team members go to other Durham-area rinks By Jim Easson Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — One of the top teams in Annandale’s competitive men’s curling league is disband- ing. Gord Norton, whose team of Warren Leslie, Mike Trudeau, Alex Bianchi and Ron Alexander has been a perennial challenger in the Ontario Curling Associa- tion playdowns, is history. The team has won, for exam- ple, the Last Chance Bonspiel in the past two years. Norton no longer wants to enter the zones and the play- ers are moving elsewhere to stay competitive. Warren Les- lie is joining an Uxbridge team skipped by Greg Timbers with Barry Acton and Kent Co- chrane. Meanwhile, Alex Bi- anchi and Mike Trudeau are joining an Oshawa foursome skipped by Brian Suddard with John Brotherhood. The zone playdown for senior men goes at Dalewood Golf and Curling Club, near Port Hope, on Nov. 28, and the Tankard playdown is slated for the Annandale Golf and Curling Club on Dec. 5. ••• The Annandale team that won the TCA Junior Bonspiel and a trip to Switzerland last Decem- ber has changed slightly. Jennifer McGhee coached the rink of Lesley Pyne, Stacey Hogan, Leahanne Legrow and Jackie Clarke last season. The lineup for this season is Lesley Pyne, Stacey Hogan, Suzanne Miller and Katie Hickey. The team en- tered the fifth annual City of Brampton Ki- wanis Junior Cashspiel last weekend. They won their pool with a 4-1 re- cord and made the Sun- day playoff round (only eight out of 24 teams advanced). The team then lost in an extra end on Sunday morning and dropped to the consolation round. They won the next game against Katie Lindsay from Oakville, but lost the final game against Sara Westman to finish sixth overall. Michael Bryson had a junior men’s team entered too, but it did not place. ••• Ontario champion Glenn Howard, with Pickering resident Richard Hart back at vice, and the front end of Brent Laing and Craig Savill, takes the team to Portage, Man. from Oct. 24 to 27 for the 2008 Meyers Norris Penny Prairie Classic. The team has won it the past two years and hopes to keep this streak alive. The total purse is $58,000, with $18,000 slated for the winner. For the curling clinic at Annan- dale on Oct. 25, approximately 30 beginner curlers and 30 curl- ers for the advanced clinic have signed up. Sign-up sheets are near the office and on the various league boards hoping to capture a few more people this week. Richard Hart Early season accolades for local swimmers AJAX — Ajax Aquatic Club’s Julian Monks has been selected to the Canada Games Hopefuls Stage 3 camp. Monks is among a group of 19- and-under athletes identified as po- tential members of Ontario’s Canada Games Team, which will go to P.E.I. next August to battle teams from other provinces and territories. In other club news, the Aquasport Top 8 Rankings have been released for the 2007-2008 Short Course sea- son. AAC’s Zach Fedak was ranked second of 15-year-old males in his 200-metre freestyle, while AAC’s Connor Greenley ranked seventh with his performance in the 100- metre butterfly for males aged 14. In addition, Monks ranked eighth with his 100-metre breaststroke swim.

As with all the craftsmen who have worked on our home, my husband and I had certain criteria that needed to be met: • PRICE (no surprises or hidden costs) • QUALITY OF MATERIALS • WORKMANSHIP (including standing behind their product) • FUNCTION AND DESIGN • TIMELINESS Gary exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you Gary. Our kitchen is stunning. The Shank family Gary Cairns was recommended to us by friends who knew we were looking to replace our out-dated kitchen. Gary provided us the expertise to take our project from the design phase thru to the fi nish. We are delighted with our kitchen. Hugh & Carolyn Smith When John and I decided to renovate our 1960s bungalow, we wanted our kitchen to be the heart and soul of our home. We carefully researched various kitchen designers, and discovered a beautiful kitchen which was designed and installed by Gary Cairns. We contacted Gary and he quickly designed a kitchen that brought our vision to life. He incorporated all our needs into his fabulous design. Gary provided us with great business choices in everything from the faucets to the countertops. The installation matched the design, the cost was exactly as quoted, top quality materials were used, the workmanship was outstanding and the project was completed on schedule. Gary and his assistant were a pleasure to work with and their professionalism and meticulous workmanship were evident to the very last detail. Without reservation, we would recommend Gary to anyone. Our beautiful kitchen and amazing island is now a gathering place for family and friends. If you are considering a kitchen renovation and your priorities are quality workmanship, innovative design, honesty, superb products and a project that is completed on time and budget, Gary Cairns Kitchen & Bath should be your fi rst choice. Thanks for a great job, our kitchen is amazing.
