Home My WebLink AboutNA2005_05_13 College, university president applauds provincial budget By Jennifer Stone Staff Writer DURHAM — Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty will go down in history as “an education premier,” thanks to Wednesday’s budget promises for post-secondary edu- cation, says Gary Polonsky. “This is the best shot in the arm post-secondary education has had in Ontario in the 17 years I’ve been here as president. Nothing in the past 17 years compares to this,” the Durham College and University of Ontario Institute of Technology president said in the wake of the $6.2 billion, five-year fix for col- leges and universities promised in We dnesday’s budget. The money comes on the heels of suggestions in a study headed by former premier Bob Rae, in- cluding making education more affordable, enhancing quality and hiring more professors. The money will roll out in the form of operating dollars, to build facilities, pay professors and pro- vide technology, and in the form of student grants and loans. Included in the student assis- tance portion of the announce- ment is the provision of grants for the lesser of $6,000 or 100 per cent of tuition for 16,000 students, as well as grants for the lesser of $3,000 or 50 per cent of tuition for another 16,000 second-year stu- dents. Enhanced student financial assistance is key, said Dr. Polon- sky. “For at least a quarter of Cana- dians, (education costs are) pro- hibitive, and those people deserve the same chance as everyone else does,” he said. Enhancement of existing loan programs and the addition of grant programs is “long overdue, urgent,” said Thomas Coughlan, FACE IT, YOU’RE NOT GETTING AWAY Celia Klemenz / News Advertiser photo DURHAM — Port Perry Rebel Adam Maahs catches up with Pickering’s Graeme Murphy who suited up for the Dunbarton High School Spartans during senior boys’ ‘A’ rugby Monday at Port Perry High School.

Durham Regional Police ar- rested two men during a traf- fic stop a couple of hours after the robbery at the bank in Pick- ering. Two men armed with handguns walked into a Bank of Commerce branch on Kings- ton Road around 1:25 Tuesday afternoon and demanded cash, police said. They fled the scene in a green van. Police later located the van, which had been stolen, in a resi- dential neighbourhood in Pick- ering. Around 3:30, police pulled over a car being driven by a woman in Oshawa and arrested two men for the robbery. Further investigation led to charges in the robbery of a CIBC branch in Oshawa April 20. Charged with four counts of robbery, as well as weapons, theft and other charges, are Brian Napper, 25, of Gibb Street in Oshawa, and Justin Wisznio- wski, 24, of no fixed address. Duo charged in Pickering bank robbery PICKERING — Durham po- lice are investigating a man’s report that he was pistol- whipped in a mall parking lot Sunday morning. The 25-year-old victim told police he was waiting for a friend in the parking lot at the Super Centre mall on Liverpool Road just before noon Sunday when a man approached the car. The suspect asked the vic- tim if he knew the owner of the car and when he responded ‘Yes,’ the assailant pulled out a handgun and smashed the vehicle’s windshield, police said. The victim told police the assailant then hit him with the gun, causing a facial injury. The suspect is described as a black man. Police are investi- gating. Passenger pistol-whipped in parking lot sportsdurhamregion.com Just one more way to get your news thanks to your friends at NEWS ADVERTISER By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — The first Crown wit- ness in the murder trial of Cosmo Ja- cobson described the horror of find- ing his brother, mortally wounded and bleeding, on an Ajax street mo- ments after shots rang out on a dark winter night. Keith Jones told a jury of seven men and five women that he rushed from his family’s home on the night of Feb. 4, 2001 to find his brother, 28-year-old Roy Jones, lying in the middle of a street nearby. “I realized it was my brother,” Mr. Jones said under questioning by Crown prosecutor Paul Murray. “I called his name about three times and he didn’t respond. “He was lying on his side and there was a pool of blood around his head — his glasses were off.” Mr. Jones, now 30, was the first witness to take the stand as testi- mony in the trial began in a Whitby courtroom Wednesday. He was one of a number of witnesses who re- counted the events that unfolded in their quiet residential neighbour- hood that night. Mr. Jacobson, 29, formerly of Pick- ering, is charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the death of Mr. Jones, who was shot four times as he ar- rived home around 10:30 p.m. from his job as a security guard. As the trial began, Mr. Murray outlined the Crown’s theory: Mr. Jacobson and another man, Sean Hall, conspired to murder Mr. Jones, a key Crown witness against Mr. Jacobson on charges relating to a home invasion robbery that oc- curred in Pickering in June of 2000. Mr. Jones, a security guard, was on duty at the Metro East Trade Centre on June 16, 2000, when Mr. Jacobson used a bank machine there to withdraw money on bank cards stolen during that robbery, Mr. Murray said. He recognized Mr. Jacobson, also known as Avi Mundy, from their days at Pickering High School, and identified him to Dur- ham Regional Police officers inves- tigating the home invasion. The Crown contends Mr. Jacob- son killed Mr. Jones to keep him from testifying at a hearing sched- uled for Feb. 7, 2001. Through his lawyer, Anil Kapoor, Mr. Jacobson has admitted he is one of two people responsible for Mr. Jones’s death, but has pleaded not guilty to the charges of murder and conspiracy. The trial, before Supe- rior Court Justice Donald Ferguson, continues. DURHAM — Learn what it takes to get into an apprenticeship pro- gram.

Jim Hankinson takes over today DURHAM — Ontario Power Generation, which operates the Darlington and Pickering nuclear gen- erating station in Durham, has announced the ap- pointment of a new presi- dent and CEO. Jim Hankinson, who had been a board member with OPG since December 2003, was previously President and CEO of New Bruns- wick Power from 1996 to 2002, and CEO of Cana- dian Pacific Limited from 1990 to 1995. He takes over for Richard Dicerni, who had served as acting president and CEO of the company after the Liberal government fired former OPG chief execu- tive Ron Osborne in 2003. Mr. Hankinson is a “q uiet, capable man,” said Gregory Smith, Darling- ton’s senior vice-president, in his annual address to Clarington council Mon- day. “I think he’ll be a wonderful addition to our organization.” Mr. Hankinson’s ap- pointment is effective May 13, 2005. OPG names new president and chief executive officer Nuclear regulator must make licensing decisions To the editor: Re: ‘Pickering supports nuclear licence request,’ April 22. Pickering council shouldn’t be passing a motion to sup- port Ontario Power Generation’s bid to obtain a five-year licence from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission for the Pickering ‘A’ reactors. The business of deciding whether to issue a five- or a two-year licence, or none at all, should be left to the Cana- dian Nuclear Safety Commission and not the politicians. The mayor and council members were most likely elected to their positions based on their election campaigning and people skills, and probably not on any skills related to evaluating the safety of nuclear reactor operations. So at least, it is a harm- less relief to read that they simply passed a (non-binding) motion supporting the bid. The actual decision, thankfully, is in the hands of the Ca- nadian Nuclear Safety Commission. Frank Dempsey, Pickering P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 13, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR G ood news budget for students G reg Sorbara’s second budget has a few people in Dur- ham smiling. Most of the dancing in the halls is likely up on Sim- coe Street North at Durham College and the University of On- tario Institute of Technology where president Gary Polonsky had to be doing a jig on account of the election-style promise to invest in his students. “This budget includes the largest multi-year investment in post-secondary education and training in 40 years — a his- toric investment in better universities, colleges and training that will result in new jobs and economic growth,” said Mr. Sorbara. The budget, which contains no new taxes, projects a bal- anced budget by 2008-09 at the latest. The 2004-05 deficit has been reduced by almost half of what the government says it inherited, to $3 billion. On the down side, hospitals were hung out to dry by the Liberals with a paltry 5.2 per cent increase in funding that won’t help them overcome deficits. In very short order the budgets for hospitals will rise again as the Province completes a mediated agreement with nurses. This doesn’t include the increased costs to run hospitals and before long the new fund- ing will be spent. In some cases, the Liberals have been kind to Durham in their budgets and it continued on Wednesday with the cre- ation of Reaching Higher, which will see $6.2 billion more devoted to post-secondary education and training for insti- tutions like Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology through 2009-10. The plan will see more financial aid for 135,000 low- and middle-income students this year in an effort to increase the number of college and university students. We’ll see an attempt to address the doctor shortage by expanding the first-year medical education spaces by 15 per cent. While this feel-good budget might appease people who wanted something done about education and some other aspects of health care, Premier McGuinty failed to address the plight of the farmers or offer anything of consequence to the business sector. The farmers went to Queen’s Park earlier this year to let the government know they needed help or else this summer would be a long, dry one. The prospects didn’t get any better Wednesday.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com Bill adds teeth to legislation With little fanfare, a new and im- proved version of the Ontari- ans with Disabilities Act (ODA) was given third reading in the legislature this week, and will soon be passed into law. Bill 118, which replaces the original ODA created in 2001, adds teeth to exist- ing legislation by extending obligations to the private sector, strengthening en- forcement and introducing timelines for compliance. While all three parties have thrown their support behind this initiative, there are still those who adamantly oppose it. Some business owners decry the cost and effort associated with accessibility improvements, and taxpayers have criti- cized the government for committing to such a long term, expensive undertak- ing. They argue that disabilities affect only a small percentage of the population, and therefore the numbers do not war- rant remodelling a heritage building to add ramps and automatic doors. They don’t favour asking a small business owner to spend thousands of dollars widening aisles in his store. Ye s, the cost is daunting. But the same can be said for the price tag on health care and emergency services, that only a small portion of the population uses on any given day. I’ve never had to call 911, I’ve never been admitted to hospital, and I’m not disabled in any way. But I recognize that any of that could change in the blink of an eye. Some of the 1.5 million Ontarians with disabilities were born with them, but many others suddenly find themselves using a wheelchair or reading Braille, as the result of an injury or illness. As my mom discovered last year when she permanently injured her wrist work- ing at a bank, of all places, disability can unexpectedly enter your life, regardless of age, health or occupation. Yo u would be hard-pressed to find a taxpayer who didn’t think hospitals and firefighters were a good use of their money, regardless of whether they had ever needed them. It’s just good to know they’re there. Likewise, you might not need that wheelchair ramp today, but who knows what tomorrow will bring. More needs to be done to ensure that business owners receive support in com- plying with these standards, but overall this is a huge step in the right direction. I, for one, appreciate the peace of mind. Jillian Follert is a staff writer with the Durham Region Media Group.

Earlier this week, Durham MP Bev Oda sent an open letter to Durham’s regional and municipal councils, clarifying the Conserva- tive party’s position on infrastruc- ture funding for municipalities. Included are quotes from party leader Stephen Harper, promising that, if elected, the Conservatives will match or enhance any com- mitments made by the current government. “I want to reassure municipal representatives across Canada that, even if this budget is not passed, there is no risk whatsoever, to promised infrastructure funding...” Ms. Oda quoted Mr. Harper as say- ing. “Furthermore, let me confirm that any future Conservative gov- ernment will match or exceed the current Liberal plan to transfer $5 billion over five years from the gas tax to support infrastructure, and that the gas tax transfer will reach the equivalent of five cents per litre, by 2009-2010.” Mr. Harper added that funds would be available within the cur- rent fiscal year. While Mr. Ander- son said he welcomed these prom- ises, both as Durham chairman and president of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, he re- mained skeptical of the timeline. “In fairness, it’s good to hear. But in reality, it will take a long time to bring in a new government and get set up. Then you have summer recess and Christmas recess... the money is going to take some time to start flowing,” he said. “This is money that was supposed to be in the hands of municipalities in 2005. They’re counting on it.” Mr. Anderson added he was pleased to hear the gas-tax plan would be honoured under a Con- servative government, but said he would like to hear specifics on how the funds would be allotted.

Visit cancer.ca or call 1 888 939 3333 This space compliments of Metroland Durham Region Media Group Ajax and Pickering hospital warns numbers may not be as they seem By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM — It’s not enough. That’s the reaction of Durham hospital chief executive officers to the funding allocated for hospitals in Wednesday’s provincial budget. “I am concerned that the base increase for hospitals is as low as two to 2.5 per cent. Last year (the increase) was five per cent and Rouge Valley got 0.8 per cent as a base increase,” said Hume Martin, CEO of the Rouge Valley Health System, which serves Ajax, Picker- ing and Whitby. “Obviously that’s not enough, it’s not enough for Rouge Valley and it’s not enough for other hos- pitals.” The McGuinty Liberals have in- creased funding for Ontario hospi- tals from $11.4 billion last year to $12 billion in 2005-06, an increase of 5.2 per cent, but that doesn’t take into account that there was $500 million in one-time funding announced in 2004-05. “On the surface the budget looks attractive because it has a $600 million increase for hospitals... Critics have said that it’s not really a $600 million increase because (the Province) overspent last year by $500 million so it is really only $100 million,” said Brian Lemon, CEO at Lakeridge Health, which serves Oshawa, Whitby, Bowman- ville and Port Perry. Mr. Martin also said some of the money will go to reduce waiting lists and for increased operating costs at hospitals with new expan- sions. “It sounds like we’re all getting 5.2 per cent and that’s not true,” he said. Rouge Valley had planned on receiving a 0.8 per cent increase in this year’s budget too, which left the hospital with a projected deficit of $6.7 million. “If we do get two per cent than that might bring down our deficit to $5 million,” Mr. Martin said. The problem with that is the Province has said hospitals are not allowed to have a deficit and that there would be no more last-min- ute bailouts, which could mean service cuts and the elimination of staff positions. Mr. Martin said Rouge Valley already eliminated 36 positions in preparation for an anticipated funding shortfall. “We knew this budget wouldn’t solve our problems,” he said. Individual hospitals will find out next month exactly how much money they’ll see. The one detail Rouge Valley was really hoping to hear in the budget wasn’t there and it is going to have to wait a little longer. “What we were looking for, more than anything, was that the Ajax- Pickering redevelopment would be approved and we saw none of that,” Mr. Martin said. He said an announcement on which capital projects are going to be approved for 2006-07 should and has to happen in the next month or so. Both Mr. Lemon and Mr. Martin welcomed the announcement that hospitals are going to receive ser- vice-based funding allocations for more than one year at a time. “It’s very helpful to have multi- year funding,” Mr. Lemon said. “We certainly hope the govern- ment is able to follow through on that.” president of the student associa- tion at UOIT and Durham Col- lege. “I think it’s amazing for students and prospective students coming. It will make post-secondary edu- cation more accessible for peo- ple who can’t afford to come to school,” said Mr. Coughlan. Money to cover capital costs and hire more professors is also good news, said the student association president. “As soon as you lower the stu- dent-to-prof ratio, you get better results,” said Mr. Coughlan. The budget also provides for more student spaces, increased graduate school enrolments, more spaces in medical schools, in- creased apprenticeship positions and more faculty. “As a total package is how it has its major impact,” said Dr. Polon- sky of the post-secondary educa- tion components of the budget. “This is a comprehensive indus- try. Unless we’re doing the right stuff in the classroom with terrific teachers and modern equipment, we’re under-serving students.” While some have complained the money will roll out somewhat more slowly than suggested by former premier Rae, Dr. Polonsky said he’s not disappointed in the least with Wednesday’s announce- ments, especially given the long- term commitment involved. “All Ontarians know life is not a piece of cake at Queen’s Park, and there are huge priorities else- where,” said Dr. Polonsky. “Other areas of the public sector have had to sacrifice so my sector can have this place in the sun.” The promised money should improve historically difficult mat- ters for Ontario students, he said. “The Premier likes to remind people... that Ontario invests less than any other province and any state in the U.S.” in post-secondary education, said Dr. Polonsky. “I don’t know if this gets Ontario out of 10th place (in Canada) but it’s a significant step in the right direc- tion. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 13, 2005 PAGE 9 A/P 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.

Stressing that the Province’s 445 municipalities are stuck in a fiscally unsustainable position, he said the McGuinty government’s second budget, unveiled Wednesday, does not address any of the priorities laid out in a pre-budget submission by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO). “We didn’t see any of the things we were looking for,” said Mr. Ander- son, who is also president of AMO. “We didn’t see new revenue tools, we didn’t see an exemption from the provincial sales tax and we didn’t see any of the downloaded services moved off the taxpayer and on to the Province.” AMO officials had also hoped for additional provincial gas tax revenue to support municipal transporta- tion. According to the association, municipalities are required to spend about $3 billion more annually on provincial programs and services than they receive in payments from the Province. As an example, Mr. Anderson said the Province should be covering 50 per cent of Durham’s ambulance services, but is only paying about 35 per cent. While the provincial budget fo- cuses heavily on education and health spending, it does include a five-year, $30-billion plan to repair infrastructure, and for the first time allows municipalities to seek infra- structure funding for culture, tour- ism and recreation initiatives.

In order to obtain the necessary approvals to expand this hamlet, the applicant proposes to conduct the Greenwood Hamlet Servicing & Westney Road Re-alignment Study. The Greenwood Hamlet & Westney Road Re-alignment Study will address the following three components needed for the expansion: • Proposed Berrywoods Farm plan of subdivision; • Proposed Westney Road Re-alignment; and, • Proposed new wastewater system (including treatment, outfall and full collection system). Planning Act and Class Environmental Assessment The landowners will use the “integrated approach” set out in Section A.2.9 of the Class Environmental Assessment for Municipal Projects. This study will address the Planning Act approvals and the Schedule C Class Environmental Assessment requirements for the road and wastewater projects together. In accordance with the integrated approach, once the landowner has satisfi ed Section A.2.9 of the Class Environmental Assessment, the Planning Act approval of the subdivision will constitute the fulfi llment of the requirements of the Class Environmental Assessment for the specifi ed wastewater and road projects. Possible methods of implementing the proposed projects will be evaluated based on the effects on the following: • Engineering and Public Safety • Natural Environment • Social/Cultural Environment • Economic Environment Public Consultation Public input during the planning process of this project is encouraged. Three Public Information Centres will be scheduled over the next year. These meetings will provide additional information and answer your questions regarding the project prior to completion of the study and the selection of a preferred solution. Comments or Questions?

That’s what Dave Peppiatt has learned in the years he’s worked with youth. “Home is supposed to be the place where you’re loved, encour- aged and feel safe, and when the streets are better than home, then home has got to be really bad,” he said. Mr. Peppiatt’s job is to hang out with Durham’s most troubled kids. The vast majority of youth that fre- quent the Second Chance Youth Centre (also known as the Refuge) in downtown Oshawa are home- less. They’re couch surfing or living in shelters. Here they get hot break- fasts and lunches, nights to play pool and drink coffee and learn life skills. But most of all, they’ve got someone to talk to. Steve Egley, 18, has slept in par- tially built houses on construction sites that have heaters inside. He left home because his mom’s boy- friend booted him out. He’s living in a shelter while he waits to get Ontario Works so he can get an- other place. “We have kids here that are work- ing really hard but are barely sur- viving,” Mr. Peppiatt said. “There are such few facilities that can re- ally meet their needs.” Nathan Paddock is 17; his father kicked him out more than a year ago. Nathan said his dad was very, very violent. “I’m much better off on my own,” he said. Being on his own means living in rooming houses where the land- lord breaks in and steals his stuff, threatens him and regularly chang- es the locks. All for $450 a month. Shelters are scary places for youth, the boys say. You’re bun- kered down with older people. Yo ur phone messages get stolen, which makes it hard to get job call backs. Getting a job without a per- manent address and phone is next to impossible. And so the circle spirals and never ends. How can a young person get a place to live with no money? Getting welfare is restrictive if you’re under 18: you have to be in school or in a training program, and there must be extraordinary circumstances why you’re not liv- ing at home, said Paul Cloutier, director of income support for the Region of Durham. If you’ve been fired from work for preventable reasons, you must wait three months before you can apply for assistance, too. Which is why Mr. Egley doesn’t have the funds for the apartment he has lined up. Then you have to battle percep- tions and a society that is self-ab- sorbed and would rather turn a blind eye. “It’s difficult when society thinks you’re nothing but lazy kids or vio- lent kids,” Mr. Peppiatt said. “It’s a hard sell. The older they get, the less help they get.” The kids battle “the cycle,” too. If mom was kicked out of her home at 16, then it’s seen as OK to kick her son out, too. So the centre hosts parent information nights and goes to schools to show kids just how hard it is to live on the streets. In 2004, 538 youth visited the centre 8,414 times. Recognizing the gaps in services for at-risk youth — combined with the closing of the Ark youth shelter — the Region of Durham in 2003 hired 10 young people, ages 17 to 23, to come up with solutions. They spoke with more than 80 agencies to find out what was miss- ing. The results were eye-opening, said Penny Contreras, a commu- nity developer with the social ser- vices department. Yo uths didn’t just want a shelter. They wanted some authority and rules, and someone to help them find out what they are good at. They wanted no violence and to be respected and heard. They wanted help with harm re- duction and support for gay and lesbian youth. Because many kids are coming from broken homes, they said they wanted their housing to be just like a family, Ms. Contreras said. “It’s like an extended family with supports,” she said. Which makes sense for youth who are only kids themselves, Mr. Peppiatt said. “They’re suddenly forced to live as adults but they still want to be kids,” he said. They haven’t been taught how to budget or look for an apartment. They want to hang out with their friends. One young woman was recently in Mr. Pep- piatt’s office. “I didn’t know it’d be this hard,” she said. And when life is hard and you don’t have a place to belong, it’s easy for them to get involved in gangs, drugs and drinking, the youth from the Region’s project said. “Peer pressure becomes more difficult because they are like your family, it’s where you belong,” the group wrote. They said they wanted more drop-in centres where adults could mentor kids in music and art and designated parks where kids can hang out and not be perceived to be up to no good. There is a movement growing. Jamie Robinson, who has worked for 14 years with street kids in To- ronto, is just a year away from put- ting a shovel in the ground to build a home with 10 shelter beds and 50 transitional housing beds. The innovative project is working with agencies to make sure there’s no duplication of services. “The only alternative for (youth) is to go to Toronto... or go to exist- ing facilities where they are quite a bit younger and the environment is not meeting their needs,” Mr. Rob- inson said. “Clearly there is a huge gap in services for youth.” As to why the gap in the first place, most of it comes down to funding. “The amount of money given to agencies... is so minuscule,” Ms. Contreras said. “The way the fund- ing is doled out, the agencies have to become competitive.” Mr. Peppiatt would love to open an after-school program or use the other leg of his building, but there’s no money. Until things change, at-risk youth will continue to visit Mr. Peppiatt and his staff, who pride themselves on providing real milk and cream and serving food on real plates and mugs — providing dignity, he said. There’s the Firehouse Youth Cen- tre in Clarington and events and activities at recreation centres and schools. But it’ll never be enough. A sign above the door at the Ref- uge says “Keep coming back.” And they do.

Because all ages are mixed together, shelters can be intimi- dating for young people, he says. A/P PAGE 14 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 13, 2005 durhamregion.com LIFE DOESN’T ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL PAYDAY!

The Durham District School Board recently changed its bylaw regarding student represen- tatives. In addition to adding a third trustee, the board committed to ensuring as much as pos- sible that the students, who must be in Grade 11 or 12, represent the three parts of Durham, namely Ajax-Pickering, Oshawa-Whitby and Brock-Scugog-Uxbridge. However the new trustees all represent south Durham. They are Kiyoko Fujimura of Eastdale Col- legiate and Vocational Institute in Oshawa, Le- andra Grant from Donald A. Wilson Secondary School in Whitby, and Pickering High School’s Hayley Peglar from Ajax. “When we were making our selection, the new bylaw was definitely taken into consideration,” current student trustee Amanda Canavan said at the May 2 standing committee meeting. She added that “the three strongest candi- dates were chosen.” In addition to representing fellow students at the board table, the student trustees lead the Student Senate, made up of high school leaders from across Durham.

The fundraising event gathered $1,300 for the cause. infodurhamregion.com One more way to get your community news Open house and survey help planners prioritize bike routes By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — The average Durham household has three bicycles in it, and almost half of the region’s residents con- sider themselves cyclists, yet biking still falls far behind driv- ing when it comes to favoured modes of transportation. That was the message that came out of a recent survey and public open house, aimed at helping regional planners understand who cycles, who doesn’t, and why. “A lot of people were kind of amazed at the results,” said Ajax Mayor Steve Parish, a regular cyclist himself. “We found out that people cycle a lot already, and they would cycle more if the region had infrastructure that was cycling friendly. The key things are that it has to be safe and enjoyable.” Gathering public feedback is the first phase of a 20-year ini- tiative that will see the Region create bike lanes and paths, improve safety, and promote cycling as a viable alternative to driving. In February, a consultant hired by the Region com- missioned Decima Research to poll residents about their cycling habits, and a well-at- tended open house was held last Thursday. Of the 44 per cent of Dur- ham residents over age 15 who consider themselves cyclists, 26 per cent ride for recreation- al purposes, while 18 per cent are “utilitarian cyclists” who use bikes to get to work and run errands. Eighty per cent of survey respondents said they always have access to a motor vehicle, and 63 per cent of households have at least one bicycle. According to Ramesh Jagan- nathan, manager of transpor- tation planning and research for the Region, major recom- mendations to come out of these consultations, include increasing urban road bike lanes and off-road trails and pathways, repairing damaged roads, providing bike parking at transit stops and installing bike racks on public buses. “People’s responses were mostly very positive, even non-cyclists want to see these things happen, because they want to be able to safely share the road with cyclists,” he ex- plained. “Now that we know more about these cycling hab- its, we can make a plan that works for Durham residents.” Recognizing that the Re- gion’s population is expected to grow 55 per cent by 2021, the 2003 Regional Transportation Master Plan recommended several strategies to get people out of their cars, one of which was a major cycling plan. Mr. Jagannathan said a comprehensive report that in- cludes potential routes, as well as cycling policies and strate- gies to implement the public’s recommendations, should be ready by fall. Durham c ycling plan on the right path By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Pickering has an opportunity to be the greenest municipality in Durham. The City received a $175,000 grant May 6 from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Green Mu- nicipal Funds for officially sustainable community planning and greenhouse gas reductions. It is the first municipality in Durham to receive the grant. Ward 1 Regional Council- lor Maurice Brenner, who served as acting mayor for the presentation, called the announcement “exciting. “Without such plans there is no future. Without sustainability we risk dam- age to our environment... our resources.” The City is using the grant, which it must match with equal funds, to prepare a Sustainable Neighbourhood Plan as part of Pickering’s growth management study, and to complete milestones one to three under the pro- gram Partners for Climate Protection. Te rry Green, from con- sulting company Greenpath, is working with the City on the PCP action plan. “To know where we’re going we have to know where we’ve been,” he said. Milestone 1 is where data is col- lected on green- house gases from all sectors of the community from the baseline year of 1994, giving the City a starting point for compar- isons. The next step, Milestone 2, is to determine what kind of re- duction targets they are going to set. For Milestone 3, a local action plan is created for the commu- nity and the mu- nicipality to see what can be done realistically to re- duce emissions. Pickering is one of 110 municipal- ities across Can- ada to do a PCP plan. The sustain- able neighbourhood plan has already begun as part of Phase 3 of the GMS. Through the SNP, the City will develop a compre- hensive list of sustainable design elements that have the potential to reduce en- vironmental impact and greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional design practices. “It’s a unique oppor- tunity to develop a com- munity that will have less dependence on traditional energy that contributes to greenhouse gases,” Coun. Brenner said. “We have the chance to build a city from the ground up and we have the ability to do it right.” Areas to be examined include energy, water and wastewater, stormwater management, solid waste and construction waste, transportation, landscap- ing and building design. The SNP can be used as a template for other neigh- bourhoods in Pickering and elsewhere.

Peter Tumey, Durham Ontario Secondary School Te achers’ Federation presi- dent, said talks ended at 1 a.m. May 7 with no contract. “We have currently begun limited sanctions against the board, striking a variety of administrative duties,” he said, adding those duties include not engaging in the organizing of exam sched- ules, only attending meet- ings during the school day, and not filling in for sick col- leagues. The two sides were origi- nally scheduled to next meet May 16 but Mr. Tumey said they asked for an earlier date. They met again Wednesday. High school teachers take job action Birthday wishes are to help others By Jason Chamberlain Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — A young Claremont girl used her sixth birthday to give gifts, rather than receive them. Emily Boston decided that instead of gifts for herself, she wanted her friends and family to send presents to the He- rizon House women’s shelter. They did just that and some of her classmates from Cla- remont Public School even brought in presents to be do- nated. Emily was inspired by her friend Chris Watson who has been donating his birth- day presents for the last two years. “It’s very mature and gen- erous of her,” said Andrea Boston, Emily’s mom. “She knows that some kids don’t have anything nice.” Chris’s mother, Cindy Wat- son, is also happy to see the children think of others. “It’s a good learning experi- ence for them. It’s good to give back.” As for Emily, she’s just happy to be helping other kids. “It makes me feel good, and it makes me feel proud.” If you have a story to tell about a Good Neighbour who has gone above and beyond to help someone in a time of need, let us know by e-mailing dstell@durhamregion.com. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 13, 2005 PAGE 17 A/P The fi rst-ever gathering of apprenticeship and skilled trades stakeholders in Durham Region.

Australia tastes good in Ajax Deliver message of caring to high school students By Jason Chamberlain Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — Before embark- ing on a long bike ride, two brothers recently delivered an awareness message in Ajax. Peterborough natives Ben and John Stephenson began their cycling journey across Canada on May 1 in their hometown. The pair is making the trip in support of the Northern Empower- ment Association (NEA), an agency dedicated to the continued development of Ghana, West Africa. As part of their tour and to help raise money, the brothers are stopping at many high schools along the way, delivering their ‘Rise to the Next Level’ pre- sentation to students. The Ajax High School visit late last month was their first and they urged students to look beyond themselves and see the problems fac- ing the less-fortunate. “We’ve got a unicycle, and we want to ask some of the kids to try that. This is such an individualistic culture, we just want to show them you can’t do everything by yourself. A unicycle’s a good way to show that, you can’t learn without help,” said John. “Our first goal was to do a regular trip across Canada, a graduation trip because we’re all graduating,” said Ajax native Grace Karram, who will join Heather Yo- shiki as the brothers’ sup- port team. “Then we thought why bother doing it for our- selves, we might as well try to make some money for an organization.” NEA was the obvious choice, as John and Ms. Karram both visited Ghana in early 2004. The optimis- tic nature and strong spirits of the Ghanaians, in spite of their difficult lifestyles, inspired the pair. “They’re doing amaz- ing with what they have,” said John. “When you meet people there, they’re so welcoming. You can’t help but love that.” In their quest to hit all their appointed high school stops (and thus travel 4,500 kilometres in 38 days), the brothers will cycle six hours each day. “We’re confident in 38 days,” said John. “We trust that God will keep us safe on the road.” They hope to raise $10,000, and have already garnered $3,000. “Grace and I bought lunch for $1 Canadian when we were (in Ghana), and so if you even raise like $2,000, that can go a long way there.” A/P PAGE 18 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 13, 2005 durhamregion.com A Tr uly Exquisite Bridal Show Local Vendors, Gifts, Extreme Giveaways May 13, 14, 15 Whitby Curling Club 815 Brock St. N.

The organization has 20 Little Brothers on a waiting list for a men- tor. “For only a couple of hours a week you can make a child feel special,” says Sharlene Melnike, the group’s executive director. Changing names for privacy, the organization offers some examples of kids who are waiting. Twelve- year-old ‘Ahmed’ from Pickering lives with his mother and has two older siblings, but would like a male role model. He is friendly, outgoing and has a great sense of humour, says Big Brothers. He likes listen- ing to music, playing football, and doing woodworking. He wants a Big Brother so he has someone to hang out with. For seven-year-old ‘Joel’ of Ajax, he also lives with his mother and has two siblings who he gets along with great. He is trusting, social, and well-mannered. He likes playing in the park, tobogganing, skating and camping. But Joel is asking for a Big Brother because he wants someone to be his friend. There are many kids like Ahmed and Joel, Ms. Melnike says, who need an older male to spend time with. “You can make an impact on someone without even knowing it, and you will have fun and treasure a friendship along the way,” she says. The organization is recruiting Big Brothers for the program and is holding its annual general meeting and awards night Thursday, May 19 at 7 p.m. The meeting is at the Kins- men Heritage Centre, 120 Roberson Dr. in Ajax.

The Pickering resident recently received the 2005 Harry Jerome Volunteer Award from the Black Business and Professional Association. “I was very honoured. I’ve been a volun- teer with the association for years... To see the people who have won and to be put in the same category as them is an honour,” Mr. Modeste said. The awards have been given out for more than 20 years in several different categories, in- cluding lifetime achievement, community ser- vice, academics and athletics. They recognize and celebrate excellence in achievement in the African Canadian community. They are named in honour of Harry Jerome, a celebrated track athlete who once held the title of the world’s fastest man. In addition to his athletic successes — including three trips to the Olympics — Mr. Jerome was a scholar and social advocate. He died in 1982. The BBPA established scholarship and awards programs in his honour. When Mr. Modeste graduated from university in 1998 he began working as an administrator at the BBPA. After moving on to another job he stayed on as a volunteer, including serving on the awards committee for several years. Mr. Modeste began his volunteer career as a student; in addition to his work with the BBPA, he has volunteered with the Urban Alliance on Race Relations, the Canadian Friends of the Phelophepa Health Care Train and his church. He also ran for the NDP in Ajax-Pickering Riding dur- ing last year’s federal elec- tion and said he would be putting his name forward again for the next election. He works as a constitu- ency assistant for Toronto NDP MP Michael Prue. Volunteering is impor- tant to him. “It’s really valuable,” he said. “What I get out of it is more than I put in.” He encourages others to get involved in an issue or organization they are interested in to help make a difference, whether that is by wash- ing dishes or serving on a committee. “If they can get out and volunteer, if it is three hours or an hour, there is so much they can give and get back,” Mr. Modeste said. “It is very worthwhile.” A/P PAGE 20 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 13, 2005 durhamregion.com Need help getting it done?

NEWS ADVERTISER Modeste gets more than he imagined Ke vin Modeste AJAX — Divorce recovery workshops are being offered in Ajax. Designed for anyone who has been divorced or separated, recently or for a longer period of time, the workshops are at Ajax Baptist Church. Participants use the works of Dr. William Fla- nagan, a minister at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach, California. He creat- ed the workshops based on the principles of Jim Smoke’s, ‘Growing Through Divorce’ for use in churches to help renew the lives of divorcees. The seven weekly workshops are scheduled for two hours each, starting Sunday, May 22 and Tuesday May 24. Numbers are limited so that everyone may have an opportunity to par- ticipate. A cost of $20 applies for a mandatory study guide. Ajax Baptist Church is at 56 Angus Dr., beside Hwy. 401. To register or for more information, call Juliet at 905-683-4802.

While one couple is staid and middle age, the other is freewheel- ing and young. Before the week- end is over each learns how to draw the best qualities from the other and strengthen their own relationships. “It promises to be a great show”, says Steve Graham, co-owner of Herongate. “We always have so many scripts to choose from and this one was just downright funny.” Written by Jeanne and Sam Bo- brick, the show features “four re- ally strong actors” said Graham. “They interact with the audi- ence and produce great physical and verbal comedy,” he said. The show runs every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday with dinner beginning at 6:30 p.m. and the show at 8 p.m. There are also matinee shows May 15 and 29, and June 5 and 19, all beginning at noon.

Page 33 Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Ahead of the game AJAX — Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cougars’ Jodi Denbok heads the ball away from Ajax High School Rams’ Ashley Thompson during Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) senior girls’ soccer action. The game was played at Ajax High on Monday afternoon. Senior Bs let big lead vanish in chippy affair with St. Clair By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — Discipline or, more correctly, a lack thereof, has hin- dered the Ajax-Pickering Rock big time to this point in the season. And, Paul St. John, the head coach of the Ontario Lacrosse Association senior ‘B’ squad, hopes his charges’ penchant for undisciplined play of late will be curbed to a large degree against the Arthur Aces in an away game on Saturday night. “We need to be smart and disci- plined and get a win,” says St. John, whose club sits in second place in the four-team East Division, with a mark of 1-1-1. “We need to put to- gether a 60-minute game. We come out and score a couple of goals and then we sag a bit. But, again, disci- pline will be huge. We had a spirited practice and we told them the num- ber-one thing is to stay out of the penalty box. When we do that, we stand a better chance of winning.” Disciplined play, explains St. John, will take a lot of pressure off the Rock’s special teams play, as the power play and penalty killing have been less than stellar. “On the power play, we’re not scoring at the rate that we need to be and our penalty killing is not at the level we need to be at,” says St. John. The Rock turned what should have been a laugher against the St. Clair Storm at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex last Saturday night into a needlessly close game — all thanks to some undisciplined play in the second and third periods. In the end, the Rock had to settle for a 11-11 overtime draw. In fact, the Rock exploded for nine goals in the first period, and then proceeded to fritter the huge lead away as a constant stream of penal- ties took any flow out of the contest, “It was absolutely a disappointing effort last week to come out with a tie. It was a big point to lose this early in the season,” says St. John. The trouble started for the Rock, says St. John, after Storm assistant coach Jim Bell complained to game officials that the mask of Rock goal- keeper Jay Preece was illegal. The officials did make the call and Preece was forced to use a player’s mask the rest of the way. The infraction also carried a misconduct and a two- minute bench penalty. After a solid first period, the call proved to be the jumping-off point to two periods of chippy play, with a number of penalties being called on both sides. All told, the Storm racked up 85 minutes, while the Rock were assessed 63. The Storm completed their come- back after scoring the equalizer with 29 seconds to go. If there’s been a bright light for the Rock to date, it’s the play of vet- eran Mark Craig. Craig, who came over to the Rock last season from the Brooklin Merchants, has amassed 13 points in three games, including a goal and three assists versus St. Clair. “He’s been phenomenal,” says St. John of Craig who’s the league’s leading point getter. “He’s been all over the floor doing the job for us. He’s been keeping us together on the offensive end of the floor.” The Rock will be getting some good news in two week’s time, as Jim Ve ltman returns to the Ajax-Picker- ing Rock lineup after another Na- tional Lacrosse League season with the Toronto Rock. He’s expected to make his debut when the Rock play at the complex on Saturday, May 21 at 7 p.m. Veltman was recently named as a second-team NLL all- star. Other Rock scorers against St. Clair were Brad Cann and Jaime Lumsden each with a hat trick, Cody Laforme, Pat Vanhooser, Aaron Bin- stock and John Derochie. Counting assists were Todd Hollinshead with three, Derochie and Binstock each with two, Brandon Laforme, Cody Laforme, Vanhooser, Shawn Sum- merfield and Cann. PEBBLES: Ian Harloff suffered a rib injury against St. Clair and is expected to be out of the lineup for a week... St. John, who also doubles as the Rock’s general manager, says the club may have some “surprises” in the coming weeks, hinting that some high-calibre players may be coming to the Rock... St. John offered an apology to fans after the Rock refused to shake hands with Storm players after last Saturday’s game. “The fans shouldn’t have to see that, but I was just trying to stick up for the Ajax-Pickering Rock. I want to apologize to the fans.” More than 400 gymnasts in competition at the Pickering Recreation Complex PICKERING — More than 400 gymnasts from across Ontario are converging on the Pickering Rec- reation Complex for the ninth an- nual Rainbow Classic Invitational Competition.

Tourney raises funds for cancer AJAX — The third annual fund- raising Jimmy Walker/Dennis Ardagh Golf Tournament takes to the links later this month. In memory of two local residents who succumbed to cancer, the event is at the Annandale Golf and Curling Club Saturday, May 28.

It is important to ask for help if things seem overwhelming. During this week that emphasizes the hard work done by law enforcement agencies day in and day out, throughout Canada, it is also important to understand the other side of crime fighting. Even though police deal with criminals and criminal activities, they also deal with victims of crime. Unfortunately, many of us will be victims of a crime. It is important to realize that your life may be disrupted by crime and that you might experience normal physical and emotional reactions. The specific crime might not have as much importance as the fact that you have been a victim of a crime, an event often outside your control. Some of the common physical reactions experienced by victims include insomnia, change in appetite, backaches, stomach aches, headaches or fatigue. Behavioural reactions include crying, a need to be alone or surrounded by others, emotional outbursts and pacing. Some experience anger, panic, anxiety, sadness and fear. Some have difficulty concentrating, feel overwhelmed, replay the event over and over, have nightmares and blame themselves for an event for which they were not responsible. There are things you can do that may help. Try to return to your usual routine. Get regular sleep, eat well-balanced meals, avoid alcohol, caffeine and sweets and drink lots of water. Talk to someone you trust and avoid isolation. Exercise and relax by spending time with your loved ones. Pace yourself and do not make any big life changes or decisions until you are feeling more in control of your life. The Durham Rape Crisis Centre is a feminist organization that believes in the equality of all people regardless of race, class, sexual orientation or gender.
