The Durham Elementary Teach- ers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) local called off plans to resume labour action as a result of the ten- tative agreement reached with the Durham District School Board. Board trustees might not rat- ify the deal by the provincially- imposed, June 1 deadline, but Durham ETFO president Rachel Gencey says the work-to-rule campaign will not start up again on Wednesday as planned. The job action was begun March 1, but was suspended April 14 when an agreement was reached between the Province and the provincial ETFO. Pickering elementary teachers strike a deal Will not pursue action against Pickering over removal of easements By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM — After weeks of out- cry from powerhouse environmen- tal groups, lawyers and residents, the Region stood its ground and will not launch any legal challenges over the agricultural easements in Pickering. In debates and delegations that took almost four hours, regional councillors Wednesday listened to pleas to fight the City of Pickering’s decision to allow development on the formerly protected land. “The removal of the easements was never considered,” said Sandy River, president of the Whitevale District Resident’s Association, who also signed off on the memo- randum of understanding (MOU) in 1999. “They were put on to pre- serve these lands... to prevent car- tels... from developing it.” David Donnelly of Environmen- tal Defence Canada agreed. “When politicians and govern- ments enter into contracts with people, we expect those contracts to be fulfilled,” he said. If it was never the Region’s intent to help protect the land, then some- one has to step forward and be ac- countable, Mr. Donnelly added. If it was protection, then the Region has an obligation to its taxpayers. The issue goes back to 1999 when Pickering, the Region and Province signed a MOU that said sensitive lands in north Pickering would be protected forever in the form of agricultural easements. In February, Pickering con- verted 800 hectares of land with easements to inhibiting orders, po- tentially opening up the land for HAIR-RAISING ACTION A.J.

Kirk Rainford testified that he answered his door shortly before midnight on Feb. 4, 2001, to find Mr. Jacobson in a state of near panic. “He looked scared,” Mr. Rainford told the jury in a Whitby courtroom. “I believe that’s when he told me Roy Jones had been shot.” Under further questioning by Crown prosecutor Paul Murray, Mr. Rainford said Mr. Jacobson claimed he’d had a peripheral role in the shooting on an Ajax street. “He said that he was the lookout,” Mr. Rainford said. Mr. Jacobson, also known as Avi Mundy, has already made an ad- mission through his lawyer that he played a role in Mr. Jones’s homi- cide. The Crown has rejected a plea of manslaughter, entered at the be- ginning of the trial in early May. Mr. Jacobson hurriedly grabbed some clothes from Mr. Rainford’s To ronto apartment and left after re- vealing few details of the shooting, Mr. Rainford told the court. He said he instantly recognized Mr. Jones as one of the people Mr. Jacobson, free on bail at the time after being arrested in connection with a violent home invasion rob- bery, had been ordered to stay away from. Mr. Jones, 28, a security guard at the Metro East Trade Centre, had seen Mr. Jacobson using debit cards stolen during the June 2000 robbery in an automated teller machine at the mall. He recognized Mr. Jacob- son from high school days in Picker- ing, and identified him to Durham Regional Police investigating the robbery. Mr. Jones was run down and shot four times outside his family’s Twil- ley Lane home just days before he was scheduled to testify against Mr. Jacobson, now 29, in court. Mr. Rainford, fearful he’d lose the $10,000 he’d pledged as Mr. Jacob- son’s surety, pulled that bail the next day, the jury heard. Mr. Jacobson was arrested Feb. 6. He was charged with the first-degree murder of Mr. Jones in August of 2001. Court also heard this week that a nervous Mr. Jacobson called a lock- smith to a gas station in Hamilton the day after Mr. Jones’s murder and had him change the locks in his Chrysler K Car. The jury heard earlier that Mr. Jacobson’s car and house keys were found at the mur- der scene. Bruce Jesso said that, when he asked Mr. Jacobson why he wanted new ignition, door and trunk keys, the man said he wanted to keep his sister from taking his car. “He told me his sister had a key to the car and she was taking it in the night time, and he wanted to put a stop to it,” Mr. Jesso said. A day earlier, Mr. Jacobson’s sister Rachel Mundy testified that she had never driven her brother’s car. The trial, before Superior Court Justice Donald Ferguson and a jury of seven men and five women, con- tinues. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 27, 2005 PAGE 3 A/P CORRECTION NOTICE To our valued customers: We apologize for any inconvenience caused by an error in our flyer dated: May 20-26.

Ontario Nature and renowned environ- mental lawyer David Estrin said removing the easements “sets a horrible precedent.” “It undermines, po- tentially, any easement given in the past,” Mr. Estrin said. That would include any private properties or those held by con- servation authorities. A report from the Re- gion’s law- yer said the government has no legal obligation to fight Pickering’s deci- sion. The City entered into the easements “s imply to control de- velopment,” Mayor Dave Ryan said. He pointed to doc- uments from 1997 and 1998 prepared by Green Door Al- liance (GDA) — also one of the signers on the MOU — that said “e asements can be changed by agreement and released (perhaps by value) by the hold- er.” They go on to say that “if landowners want to develop prop- erties beyond agricul- ture, they can pay the To wn to modify or re- lease the Town’s inter- est in the agreement.” Other documents clearly say planning and development con- trol remains with Pick- ering — a statement the Region has main- tained. Although the Al- liance said that, there was never any notion back then that the lands would ever be de- veloped, said Brian Buckles of the group. He ques- tioned why, if the City was simply “land banking” for fu- ture construction, it didn’t negotiate more than just the $67.5 mil- lion it received in a settlement from devel- opers who challenged the easements. In a letter to Region- al council, Manage- ment Board of Cabinet Chairman Gerry Phil- lips asked the Region not to approve any changes to Pickering’s official plan or its own plan that would allow developments in the preserve. Back in April, the Re- gion supported a move by Pickering asking the Province to remove portions of the agri- cultural preserve from the Greenbelt and into areas designated for development. That, combined with the Region’s refusal to challenge Pickering, infuriated residents. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish lost two moves to launch a public in- quiry into the lifting of the easements and to rescind council’s sup- port of removing the land from the Green- belt. The Province has said it will defend pro- tecting the lands, while some developers have launched legal action to develop them. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 27, 2005 PAGE 5 P 1-800-565-8603 or visit our website at www.dart.on.ca Are Drugs or Alcohol Affecting Your Life?

But then again, the contributions made by the arts com- munity to Ajax and Pickering are immense in and of them- selves. Arts Week has taken over in Ajax and Pickering and there’s no shortage of activities to check out thanks to the active groups in the area who take artwork and performing to new heights. The Durham West Arts Centre, Ajax Creative Arts and Pin- eRidge Arts Council have each played a part in bringing the To wn of Ajax and the City of Pickering on side to declare May 22 to 28 as Arts Week. Already students were given the chance to see talented local artists at different stages of creating artwork at the Ajax Creative Arts Centre in Pickering Village. And this weekend there’s several events on the arts calendar to choose from. Tonight (May 27) the doors are open on a unique new art show, ‘Off the Hinges’ which features the work of artists from Ajax and Pickering in a show of doors painted in a variety of themes. It’s certainly worth the time to visit the official opening of the show at The Atrium in Ajax Town Hall. The show travels to Artfest in Pickering Saturday, an annual showcase of artists, performers and more at City Hall. Artfest is a perfect fit for the week, an event that truly celebrates the spirit of the art community. And charity hasn’t been forgotten amongst the arts community. Both tonight and tomorrow night ‘Broadway Glitter’ at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Ajax features musical hits and raises money for diabetes. All together, Arts Week celebrates the heart of the two com- munities, highlighting the people and activities that make Ajax and Pickering special. It’s also a reminder that we are fortunate to have such an active and dedicated arts community. Without the arts, our communities would be pretty dull plac- es to live. Take an opportunity in the next few days to discover some of the extraordinary talent in Ajax and Pickering. Hospital decisions causing great heartache To the editor: The staff, volunteers and community members of our Ajax hospital are really upset that the pediatric and maternity depart- ments were proposed to be temporarily moved to the Centenary site. If they need two pediatricians, as we do, why is it necessary for us to be moved to Scarborough as opposed to them moving to Ajax? This is our community hospital and we need to keep what we have and add to it as the community grows. Since this hospital amalgamated with Centenary, we are slowly being sucked dry. Our patient food service has been re- located to Centenary. Our cafeteria, or what is left of it, is a joke and not sustainable. Our switchboard is relocated to Centenary and often trying to get through to the right room or department is more difficult than trying to get through to the Queen of Eng- land. Our auxiliary coffee shop is going to be replaced by Tim Hortons and auxiliary members are not sure what their role will be. The heads of the departments work out of Centenary, with some having an office at both sites and spending a lot of time travelling back and forth. The amalgamation has caused great unrest, heartache and unhappiness. If anyone in this community can help us find more doctors, especially pediatricians, this would be greatly appreciated. Instead of losing our hospital bit by bit, we need to be looking toward building a major hospital here to sustain our growing population.

An i mproved system is worth paying for DURHAM — It appears that the On- tario Liberals are delivering on a promise to make education their top priority. That’s a statement that would have drawn a lot of jeers not very long ago, when the ‘Fiberals’ moniker was widely used to describe the government. Once a label is applied to anyone or anybody, it’s tough to shake, and the damage done to the government’s credibility was unmis- takable and lingering. However, things are looking good on the education front. Durham school boards over the past week have announced re- pairs to 43 schools with money that just wasn’t forthcoming under the previous government. The funding to address aging schools (with more on the way) is truly unprecedented, and while electrical and roof repairs won’t make a cosmetic difference to very many of the buildings, the situation is like a car, where what’s going on under the hood is far more im- portant. Over the last two years, the government has delivered or pledged $1.7 billion in ad- ditional funding to Ontario school boards. And the money isn’t just being thrown at boards, but targeted to important areas such as student success to help pupils in danger of failing or dropping out. During the Tory years, a $350-million increase in education funding was touted as a major hike, when in fact funding had fallen be- hind the needs of the system. It was only when Mordechai Rozanski identified a clear shortfall that they began to respond with bigger dollars. He had been enlisted by the Tories to study education funding and make recommendations. And if the teachers, including those in Durham, play ball, labour peace will be secured until 2008 with a 10.6-per cent pay increase over four years. The gov- ernment took a major role in contract negotiations, unsettling to local public teacher unions, by dealing directly with the provincial union leaders in working out two landmark agreements. This made sense since the provincial unions currently are in charge of local bargaining anyway. The Liberals’ promise to meet the elementary panel’s demand for more preparation time and the high school educator’s workload concerns by pledging to add 1,300 new teachers to each in the next few years. In so doing, the government says its own objectives of helping students do better would also be met. It was a deft move, and it’s hard to understand what’s standing in the way of public secondary school contract here in Durham. The government’s education plan has clearly gained momentum as the months have passed. Fiscal conservatives will ask, ‘where’s the money going to come from?’ But an improved system is an investment worth making for future years. Mike Ruta’s column ap- pears every third Friday. E-mail mruta@durhamregion.com. Liberals keeping education promise Mike Ruta staff writer EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com “I’m certainly very pleased,” said Sally McIlveen, the board’s employee relations superintendent. “We just concluded ne- gotiations... after a good two days at it.” Agreement details will not be made public until both teachers and board trustees seal the deal. Ms. Gencey says teachers will vote at the Oshawa Civic June 1, with the union’s recommenda- tion that they approve what she termed “a good agreement.” She says it was reached around 7:45 a.m. Wednesday, following a 22-hour session with a pro- vincial mediator present. Andrea Pidwerbecki, the board’s com- munications manager, says the date of a trustee ratification meeting has not been confirmed. In exchange for four-year contracts retroactive to September 2004, the pro- vincial framework offered public el- ementary teachers a minimum 10.6-per cent cumulative pay increase by the end of the deal. As well, 200 minutes of prep- aration time and an injection of 1,300 new specialist teachers in areas such as drama, literacy, numeracy and the arts were offered. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 27, 2005 PAGE 7 A/P CORRECTION NOTICE To our valued customers: We apologize for any inconvenience caused by an error in our flyer dated: May 20-26.

The awards relate to the creation of the University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology and Durham College campus, continuing to take shape in north Oshawa. Mr. Polonsky’s Advocate for Ar- chitecture Award recognizes his contribution to elevating architec- ture and his commitment and sup- port for the profession. “I am delighted to have received such a prestigious honour for my part in the creation of the prov- ince’s newest university,” Mr. Po- lonsky said in a release. “Through innovative design and ingenuity, Diamond and Schmitt Architects Inc. transformed a vi- sion into a spectacular campus that will in- spire those who study here. In doing so, they built on a brilliant village campus mas- ter plan created by planners Phil Weinstein and Brad Johnston.” The judges noted that “he led a process to design and build one of the most environmentally sus- tainable, collegial and ambitious campuses in Canada.” Diamond and Schmitt received an Innovation in Architecture Award for its work in designing the campus’s state-of-the-art build- ings, including the four-storey li- brary, which features a rotunda and a two-storey fireplace reading room. “We were thrilled to receive this award for our work in designing an innovative learning environment that is beautiful, functional, safe, technologically advanced and en- vironmentally friendly,” said Don- ald Schmitt, principal and archi- tect. “This is truly a new model for universities in the 21st century.” UOIT/DC campus designer, president honoured News At UOIT/DC A/P PAGE 8 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 27, 2005 durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 10 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 27, 2005 durhamregion.com 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.

Wo rse still, having to explain to paramedics what is happening because the disease is not com- monly known. This is the reality for Karen Shulist and her family. Her two- year-old son, Noah, has tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), which is estimated to affect one in every 6,000 births. Although as common as Lou Gehrig’s disease, Ms. Shulist along with help from some organiza- tions, is aiming to raise aware- ness throughout TSC Awareness Month (May). She recently sent out a mes- sage to about 200 organizations and individuals to help with the cause, including news her son had recently undergone brain surgery in New York City to help control his prolonged seizures, a symptom of TSC. So far, Ms. Shulist said the re- sults of the procedure have been favourable. “He’s sleeping better,” she said. “He hasn’t had any seizures since, that we know of.” She explained the surgery was unavailable at the Hospital for Sick Kids in Toronto, and ended up getting coverage from OHIP for the cross-border procedure. However, she said getting the funding was not an easy task. “It took six long months of writ- ing letters,” she noted. Those afflicted with TSC have tubers form in any number of major organs, affecting develop- ment. There is presently no cure. The seizures can last an extended length of time, and are unpredict- able in frequency. Ms. Shulist used a metaphor to describe how she feels dealing with her son’s condition. “It’s like walking through a des- ert full of land mines,” she said, adding that when Noah makes progress, the seizures can set him back again. Despite this, Ms. Shulist is keeping faith for what the future holds. “He is a typical two-year-old boy,” she said. “We’re hoping to have him in pre-school by fall.” She said TSC Canada, a 17-year- old charity devoted to fighting this disease, has been extremely supportive. She has met others dealing with the same situation and drawn strength from them. Also helping TSC Canada to educate the public is Epilepsy Durham Region, because of the common link of both conditions to seizures. Dianne McKenzie, executive director of the Whitby-based or- ganization, said seizures can give people a certain “stigma. “People get the wrong idea,” she said, explaining how having a seizure later in life can be mis- taken for using drugs or “being wasted”. Although she said that the cause of seizures in TSC is a re- sult of tubers on the brain, there are many variables that can trig- ger one. “Even loud or strange noises can cause a seizure,” Ms. McKen- zie said, adding there are more than 40 different types of sei- zures. She noted Epilepsy Durham has been raising awareness through television, as well as going to schools. Ms. McKenzie said EDR is also redesigning its website during the summer and plans to have a link to the TSC Canada site by September to continue its sup- port. To visit the TSC Canada site or make a donation to the charity, go to www.tscst.org.

Te resa Nowell, Jeff Wright and Mark Somerville, all of the same Ajax platoon, are heading to the Ottawa mara- thon May 29 to heat things up for their fundraising ef- forts for September’s Week- end to End Breast Cancer event. As if the marathon wasn’t gruelling enough, they’re cranking it up a notch by wearing their fire gear in the run. “We wanted to do some- thing else, a little out of the ordinary,” said Ms. Nowell. “All three of us enjoy a chal- lenge. We want people to notice and we think this will make us stand out in a crowd.” While the group is trading its boots for running shoes, all three are still planning on wearing fire pants and air tanks for the run in Ottawa, helmets included, but not full coats. “There would be a risk of dehydration,” said Mr. Wright. The trio will don their full jackets for the Sep- tember walk and are hoping for cooler conditions. Mr. Somerville expressed some concern about how the group will hold up wear- ing the gear, especially for the 60-km walk this fall. “The (fire) pants are very heavy,” he said. “Sweat builds up in the legs and can cause chaffing,” he explained. Concerns aside, they are hoping to cover the 42.2-km marathon distance in only five hours. Their goal is to gain sponsors while there, with all funds going towards the Breast Cancer weekend. Ms. Nowell is not a rookie in her involvement with this cause. “I have participated (in the cure) on and off for quite a few years,” she said. Mr. Wright added that the marathon, along with the Breast Cancer walk in Sep- tember, will also help keep them in shape for their de- manding jobs. However, the group has other reasons to be involved in the fundrais- ers. “I lost my aunt to breast cancer,” Mr. Wright ex- plained. Ms. Nowell added her mother has battled with breast cancer on more than one occasion, but seems to be doing better now. She feels treatment has come a long way for the disease, but it can also help to keep faith. “Cancer seems to be ev- erywhere,” Ms. Nowell said. “My mother is a strong woman, she had the will to fight it.” The minimum amount of pledges to compete in the September Breast Cancer walk is $2,000 each. The group is well on its way to reaching its goal, and hopes to raise $10,000 collectively. Ms. Nowell noted they all reside in the Whitby and Os- hawa area, and many people have seen them out training already. “They (other runners) ask me, why are you training in so much clothing?” she joked.

Co-ordinating Durham’s disaster relief Durham Emergency Management Office hits 10-year mark By David Blumenfeld Staff Writer DURHAM — A small office at Regional Headquarters has a big responsibility for ensuring there’s a coordinat- ed response for emergencies in Durham Region. With a staff of six, the Durham Emergency Man- agement Office (DEMO) has the task of implementing a comprehensive emergency management program that includes plans, exercises, training and public educa- tion to ensure the safety of local residents. “We’re a small office at the Regional level and our job is to coordinate effective re- sponse to any disaster that might happen within the Region,” said Ivan Ciuciura, director of emergency man- agement. “It’s an organized process for preparing for, and then responding to, any event.” And those events could be anything from the 2003 blackout to the recent explo- sion at a plastics plant in Cobourg, he said. “If you did a study of risk in the Region, the three top ones would be some form of weather-related emergency, then a hazardous mate- rial emergency and then the third one is some form of mass casualty,” Mr. Ciuciura said. “If police, fire or EMS have a situation where they need additional support, our office gets a call and then we round up the regional departments or other com- munities’ volunteer groups, or assistance from the Prov- ince.” He said the emergency management program begin with a solid plan of action taking into account all the various emergency response units in the Region. Proper training exercises and pro- grams are also critical, he said, as well as public educa- tion. “Before a plan gets made, you need to have all the groups and participants that have a role to play sit down and make sure everyone’s clear on what they should do,” Mr. Ciuciura said. “Part of it is also public awareness, so we do promote that and try to get the word out that governments have a role to play in emergency, but really in a large scale emergency, it starts with individuals have to be prepared.” Since 1995, DEMO’s func- tions have grown to include: conducting and maintaining a hazard analysis for criti- cal infrastructure and vital facilities within Durham Re- gion, coordinating the off- site response for nuclear-re- lated emergencies at Picker- ing and Darlington Nuclear Generating Stations and as- sisting area municipalities in an advisory capacity relating to localized emergencies, unless requested to take the lead role. “If there’s weaknesses or something that needs to be done, we’re an organi- zation that then follows up. If something needs to be done, and there’s three or- ganization involved, a lot of times it just drops between the cracks again.

It’s easy and fun to create a beautiful garden. Here some tips, to ensure that your garden blooms and smells of success: Getting and keeping good soil is one of the most important factors in creating a beautiful garden. “Plants generally like soil that is rich in organic matter and that doesn’t drain too quickly,” says John Mansz, gardening expert for The Home Depot Canada. “A dding organic matter loosens up the soil, promotes good drainage and improves the ability of the soil to deliver nutrients to the roots,” says Mansz. While peat moss is often used as a soil conditioner, its large scale use destroys peat bogs that are important sites for wildlife and help protect the earth from global warming. Alternative soil conditioning such as Peat Eliminator is all natural and environmentally responsible. It absorbs and retains more water than peat and has excellent aeration and drainage properties. (Available at leading garden centres.) Five ways to a quick, easy and beautiful garden How much sun your garden receives determines which plants you can grow successfully. “Take note of the light conditions in your garden and choose plants that will be happy with what you have to offer,” says Mansz. At your local garden centre, be sure to check the plant tags for cultural requirements. For instant colour you can’t go wrong with annuals that bloom non- stop from spring to frost. Some stars of the shade garden are browallia, coleus, fuchsia, impatiens, and lobelia. “In sunny locations celosia, cleome, cosmos, gazania, marigold and portulaca will shine,” says Mansz. Add water when needed, usually when the soil is dry. “Avoid frequent shallow waterings that encourage roots to stay near the surface instead of reaching deep into the soil for moisture,” says Mansz. “Plants that have deep roots are better able to withstand periods of drought.” A water-retaining supplement like SoilSponge, which can be added to your soil can increase the days between waterings. This natural product acts like thousands of mini sponges, absorbing water and releasing it, as the plants need it. Good food is necessary for plants to grow strong and beautiful. Start them off to a good start with transplant fertilizer at planting time. Subsequently, apply an all purpose fertilizer every two weeks for optimum performance. To have a beautiful garden and get a good return on your investment in terms of both time and money, you have to eliminate the weeds. “Mulch is a gardener’s best friend and is by far your best defense against weeds,” says Mansz. Once your garden is planted, spread mulch between your plants. Mulch also helps to hold moisture in the soil by slowing down evaporation. You can use wood chips, cocoa beans, pine needles and many other natural products.

The 1990 Clean Air Act calls for manufacturers to phase out the refrigerant R22 currently used in most air conditioning systems. In January 2006 the manufacture of R22 cooling products will cease. Carrier was fi rst to introduce cooling products using alternate refrigerant in 1996, six years ahead of its competition. Carrier received the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Ozone Protection Award for leadership in product development and technology. In January 2006 the minimum SEER (Seasonal Energy Effi ciency Ratio) will increase to 13 SEER, a 30 per cent increase from current standards. The higher the SEER rating the greater the energy saving. Carrier Infi nity 18 air conditioner receives up to 18.0 SEER. Increasing the effi ciency of air conditioning units helps to offset peak loads for our utilities resulting in the consumer saving money on their energy bills. Carrier air conditioners using Puron refrigerant has earned the Green Seal designation. Green Seal is an independent organization that sets environmental standards to reduce air and water pollution, waste of natural resources and to slow ozone depletion.

By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM — A promised public meeting on a controversial sludge product has still not been set al- most four months after the report was released. The experts panel on Sound- Sorb, a product made from mixing the leftover fibres from paper recy- cling with soil, looked at whether using the material presented a risk to humans or the environment. Currently, the product is being used in berms at skeet and gun clubs across Ontario, including Os- hawa. The paper fibre has also been spread on farmers fields and is on a north Oshawa compost site owned by Harvey “Skip” Ambrose of Cour- tice Auto Wreckers. Oshawa Councillor John Neal, who also sat on the peer review panel, said his residents have had enough and want the opportunity to share their thoughts. “I‘m disappointed with the at- titude of the MOE (Ministry of the Environment) on this,” he said, adding he and the Region have called and e-mailed with the Min- istry to get the date set up. “We’re trying to get this public meeting off the ground.” The Region of Durham has been struggling to get timely informa- tion out of the Province since it began investigating Sound-Sorb in 2001. The panel found that there is no proof that says the material is harmful, and that it does not have to be removed from sites but must be monitored for leeching. It also recommended that Sound-Sorb be subject to regulation by the Minis- try of the Environment. Currently, because Sound-Sorb is considered a product, it is not subject to any provincial approvals. Local lobby groups such as Protect the Ridges have said toxic material from berms in Durham are seeping into the ground and wells. Neither the date nor location of the public meeting have been set yet, said Mark Rabbior, MOE spokesman. He said the report is still posted on a website accepting public comments until May 25. Residents can view it at http:// www.ene.gov.on.ca/envregistry/ 024645EX.htm. For more information, and to check for the meeting date, call Peter Balaban, manager of the Yo rk-Durham district office of the MOE, at 905-427-5610, or the main line at 905-427-5600. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 27, 2005 PAGE 25 A/P FESTIVALTHEATREFESTIVAL THEATRE Po rt HopePort Hope “Classic Plays in a Classic Theatre”“Classic Plays in a Classic Theatre” June 9th to August 28thJune 9th to August 28th BORN YESTERDAY DIAL ‘M’ FOR MURDER ONE FOR THE POT MY FAIR LADY 1.800.434.5092 • www.phft.ca Public meeting still not set for Sound-Sorb A.J.

StoneCircle Theatre is serv- ing up comedy sketches for des- sert all next week as it makes its first attempt at it’s new ‘Lunch n’ Laugh’ series of shows. Ken Bond had the idea sim- mering on the backburner of his imagination since the group was first formed. Now the theatre’s artistic director is going to see the idea come alive with 10 ac- tors performing three original 10-minute sketches from Mon- day to Friday at their Pickering Village location in the Village Theatre, a shared building with the Ajax Creative Arts Centre. “We wanted to bring enter- tainment to people at lunchtime that they normally wouldn’t get,” he says. “It’s an escape from the routine.” Each of the three shows is based on improv situations the theatre group’s members brain- stormed together. The informal sessions resulted in shows the group thinks people will really enjoy. However, Bond recom- mends the show to adults and most teens, not a younger audi- ence. “There’s a poignant comedy sandwiched between two spicier pieces,” he says. In ‘Perception Game’, directed by Shari Thorne-Kowalski, they parody the reality game show craze currently dominating TV. Next up is ‘Something Simple’, where a mother and son remi- nisce at a funeral service. Fi- nally, in ‘Date n’ Mate’ the cast sends up the speed dating phe- nomenon. Bond directs both of these. He explains audiences are ex- pected to arrive between noon and 12:15 to pick up lunch of soup and a wrap, which is pro- vided by the nearby Soup Shack. Then the show begins inside the theatre’s main hall and finishes at 12:45, leaving just enough time for patrons to get back to work or other activities, Bond says. Tickets for Lunch n’ Laugh are $15. It runs from May 30 to June 3 and the theatre is at 22 Sher- wood Rd. W. at the corner of Linton Avenue. For more information, call 647-895-2015.

By Brandon Mastromartino Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — Get ready for an Island of bright lights, dancing, singing, and act- ing. Pine Ridge Secondary School is preparing for its production of ‘Once On This Island,’ the story of a peasant girl who falls in love with an upper-class boy. The story is told by a group of Caribbean peas- ants who await a terrible storm. “It gives a great variety. It is all kinds of different stu- dents from dance, music, and drama programs com- ing together to make one production” says Sheryl McIntosh, who is one of the co-directors of the play. As part of a course, stu- dents started planning the production at the beginning of the year. This year the production is taking a dif- ferent approach. “Instead of having many big sets that we will have to move around, we are fo- cusing more on light and sound effects and computer technology,” says McIntosh. Performances are June 2 to 4 at 7:30 p.m. and June 5 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $8 for general seating, and $10 for preferred. Pine Ridge is at 2155 Liv- erpool Rd. N. in Pickering. For more information, call the school’s music de- partment at 905-420-1885 ext. 261.

LaTouche runs by competition to take OFSAA regionals gold By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — What a difference a year has made to Pickering High School’s Marc LaTouche. Attending Brother Andre school in York Region a year ago, the 19- year-old failed to make it out of the heats in the senior boys’ 100 metres at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) track and field championships. A new school and a new coach, it seems, has paid dividends for the lanky sprinter who ran away from the field Wednesday to capture four gold medals at the OFSAA Central Region Track and Field Champion- ships at York University. LaTouche admits his 100m race wasn’t perfect, but he did enough to get the win comfortably and qualify for the OFSAA championships in Windsor June 2 to 4. “I think I did pretty good,” he says. “I could have come out of the blocks a little harder. My drive phase was OK. I tried to concentrate on relax- ing, staying in form and finishing the race strongly.” His winning time of 10.92 was well short of his personal best this season, winning at the Mansfield Relays in Ohio in 10.65, the fastest time in the event by a 19-year-old in Canada this season. LaTouche also won the central re- gion senior boys’ 200 metres hand- ily, posting a time of 22.12, which was also well off his personal best this season of 21.60, set in April at a meet in California. That time was the fourth fastest in the U.S. this outdoor season, and the top time in Canada for a 19-year-old. His other two golds came as a member of the Trojans’ 4-x-100m relay team with Adam Brown, Ryan Gordon and Stephen Lopez and as part of the open 4-x-400m relay team with Anthony Lue, Evan Tsi- poulos and Lopez. LaTouche started studies at Pick- ering High this semester after his family moved to the area. He hasn’t regretted his decision to come to the Ajax school and join the track team, under the guidance of long- time coach Cyril Sahadath. “They’ve shown me a good at- titude and I’m very happy with the environment. It’s been a very good move,” says LaTouche, who also trains at the Mississauga Track Club under the tutelage of former Cana- dian Olympian Desai Williams. Sahadath advised LaTouche to “have fun” at the central regionals and not worry too much about win- ning his events, but merely to finish in the top four in order to secure a place at the OFSAA finals. “Technically, I told him to do what he has to do. We’re not here to make anyone feel dumb or stupid,” says Sahadath. Pickering High, as it has been in previous years, was one of the premier track teams at the centrals, finishing second for the team title behind Aurora’s Cardinal Carter. In doing so, the Trojans qualified 19 athletes for OFSAA. And, as usual, the hurdlers were major contributors to the success. The senior boys’ 110m hurdles event featured Lue, Gordon and Shane Herbert running side by side with Gordon winning, followed by Lue in second and Herbert in sixth. Although taking part in the same event, all three hurdlers note they’re teammates first and foremost. Ev- eryone in the group pushes each other. “I need Anthony to run my race,” says Gordon. “If I didn’t have him there I wouldn’t have run that fast.” Lue also went on to win gold in the 400m hurdles and Gordon was third in the long jump. Other Pickering High athletes moving on to OFSAA: • Jessica Caterini, gold, midget girls’ 300m hurdles, bronze, 80m hurdles; • Latesha Francis, third, senior girls’ 300m hurdles, third, 80m hur- dles • Darryl Thomas, fourth, midget boys’ 400 metre; • Cameron Bursey, third, junior boys’ 100m hurdles; • Christopher Sahadath, fourth, junior boys’ 100m hurdles; • Benjamin Brant, fourth, junior boys’ discus throw; • Sheldon Connell, fourth, senior boys’ triple jump; • Adam Brown, silver, senior boys’ 400m hurdles; • Stephen Lopez, second, senior boys’ long jump, bronze 400 metres; The Trojans’ junior boys’ 4-x- 100m relay team of Gary Tsang, Evan Tsiopoulos, Sahadath and Tristan Beadle finished with the sil- ver medal.

PICKERING — All Saints Titans’ Roisin Giles, left, battles for a loose ball with St. Mary Monarchs’ Erin Small during Durham Region senior girls’ soccer quarter-final playoff action at St. Mary on Wednesday. St. Mary defeated the Whitby school 2-0. The semi- f inals and final were played Thursday afternoon, with the result unavailable at press time. By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — The irony is unmistakable to track and field rivals Ryan Finn and Michael An- derson. Despite being next-door neigh- bours in Ajax, when it comes to the track they’re rivals. And, that rivalry was front and centre Wednesday at York Uni- versity for the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) Central Regionals. In the senior boys’ 1,500 me- tres, the two clashed, with An- derson representing Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School and Finn from Pickering High School. After duelling it out on the front end of the pack for most of the race, Anderson pulled away in the final 100 metres to win gold. Following the race, Finn tipped his hat to Anderson. “I know he’s good. He finished real strong,” says Finn. “I didn’t think I would be out leading.” Anderson admits he didn’t think he could overtake Finn, who had taken off in the last 600 metres of the race and appeared to be in control. “He started his kick and I thought he had me, but I gave it the last 100 metres. He started his kick early. I let him get ahead of me a bit, so I saved up (for the final 100 metres),” he says. Anderson also captured the gold medal in the 3,000m, while Finn earned gold in the 800m. Finn admits he entered the central regions at less than 100 per cent, suffering from a calf in- jury that occurred during training several weeks ago. The injury has made it difficult to train, which leaves OFSAA medals in the 1,500m and 800m in jeopardy. “Missing two to three weeks of training might hurt my perfor- mance there,” says Finn, who’ll graduate from Pickering High this year and join the University of Kentucky on a track scholar- ship in the fall.” On the other hand, Anderson is confident OFSAA medals could come his way in Windsor next week if his efforts at the central regionals are any indication. “That’s the goal, to medal,” says the Grade 11 student. “Winning will be really tough, though, but we’ll see what happens.” In addition to Anderson, Notre Dame send other six athletes to the OFSAA championships. Jerrel Madawe earned a silver in the junior boys’ 100 metres. Natalie Jaciw-Zurakowsky ran to silver in the junior girls’ 300m hurdles. Rae Down Reid posted a silver-medal-winning effort in the senior girls’ 400m. Will Grecia finished third in the midget boys’ long jump and fourth in the triple jump. Junior Brown placed fourth in the junior boys’ high jump, while Robert Marks was fourth in the junior boys’ long jump. Notre Dame’s junior boys’ 4-x-100m relay team finished third. Dunbarton High’s Nikkita Holder earned three medals at the centrals, winning the senior girls’ 100m hurdles and the 200 metres. She also earned a silver in the 100m. Other area athletes advancing: From Ajax High: • Katie Chasinski, third, midget girls’ long jump: • Amy Duane, fourth, midget girls’ triple jump; From Pine Ridge: • Amber Cushnie, gold, open girls’ 1,500m steeplechase, bronze, senior girls’ 3,000m; • Shantel Llewellyn, silver, ju- nior girls’ 100m, third, 200m; • Maia Kirk, fourth, junior girls’ discus; • Midget boys’ 4-x-100m relay, first; From St. Mary: • Charles Forbes, gold, junior boys’ 100m, second 200m, fourth 400m; • Adam Morra, bronze, junior boys’ javelin; • Leighton Parker, silver, senior boys’ triple jump, fourth, long jump; • Junior boys’ 4-x-100m relay, first; • Junior girls’ 4-x-100m relay, fourth; From J. Clarke Richardson: • Kimone Allen, gold, senior girls’ triple jump, third, long jump.
