HomeMy WebLinkAboutNA2005_06_24Group will discuss building new northern community By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — With the Seaton landowners pushing to begin de- velopment by the fall of 2006, now is the time for Pickering to negoti- ate the benefits to residents, says Doug Dickerson. At the June 6 council meeting, the Ward 2 City councillor was to bring forward a motion to form a working group that would begin negotiations, but that item was held over. It has yet to reappear on another agenda but Coun. Dickerson and Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner, who seconded the motion, said it has to come back Monday — the last meeting before the summer re- cess. “It’s got to move forward be- cause if it doesn’t before summer recess I believe we’re going to miss a potential net benefit for the City and its taxpayers,” Coun. Brenner said. “Everyday that goes by that we’re not able to discuss the net benefits puts us at a dis- advantage.” Coun. Dickerson said with a community of this size (plans es- timate anywhere from 40,000 to 55,000 new residents), the City is going to need land for such mu- nicipal items as a fire hall, com- munity centres, arenas, sports fields, seniors’ facilities, and parks. “These are all things that have to be discussed with (the devel- opers),” he said. “What we want to see is what they’re prepared to discuss with the City on what its needs are.” Seaton is currently owned by the Province but the land is being swapped with three main devel- opers — Lebovic Homes, Mat- tamy Homes and Metrus Devel- Pickering wants its Seaton needs protected The Pickering ??

The lead lawyers in the first- degree murder trial have begun their final addresses to the jury, which began hearing evidence in early May. As the Crown and defence square off one more time, the seven men and five women on the jury panel are being presented vastly differing submissions. Crown prosecutor Paul Mur- ray contends Mr. Jacobson is a liar and a coward who would resort to anything — including murder — to avoid a lengthy prison term. Defence lawyer Anil Kapoor said the former Pickering man, now 29, is a none-too-bright, small-time criminal whose plans to intimidate a witness in a court case against him went horribly wrong. Mr. Murray, who began his final address to the jury Thurs- day, said all the evidence points to Mr. Jacobson, also known as Avi Mundy, as the man who ran down and shot Mr. Jones, 28, outside his Twilley Lane Murder trial enters final stage RETIREMENT SURE IS GRAND A.J.

Va lid only at Pickering location This Week Uxbridge Times- Journal NEWS ADVERTISER Canadian Statesman BROOKLIN the Citizen Second cruiser incident this week in Durham By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer AJAX — For the second time in just a few days, the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has been called in to inves- tigate an accident in which civilians were hurt by a Durham Regional Police cruiser. A boy and girl from Ajax, both 16, were taken to hospital after being hit by a cruiser early Thursday. Durham police said the officer was on patrol behind Duffins Bay Public School on Pittman Crescent, in the Westney Road-Harwood Avenue area, around 1:20 a.m. when the cruiser struck the teenagers, who were lying in a grassy area. The teens were taken to hospital in Ajax and treated for non life-threaten- ing injuries. The officer was not hurt. The incident is being investigated by the SIU, which probes all cases of death or injury to civilians involving the police. SIU spokeswoman Rose Bliss was not available for comment. Durham police do not comment on cases under SIU investigation. The SIU is also investigating a crash involving a cruiser and a car in Oshawa Monday evening. In that incident, a Durham Regional Police cruiser col- lided with a Kia Magentis being driven by a 76-year-old Oshawa woman. The woman sustained a neck in- jury and was transferred to hospital in Toronto after treatment in Oshawa, police said. The officer, who also hurt his neck, was treated and released. Durham police conducted an in- vestigation at the accident scene and called in the SIU Tuesday afternoon. SIU called in after police car hits teens in Ajax A.J.

The developers made a commitment at the beginning of May to donate $7.5 million to the Rouge Valley Health System Founda- tion for the Ajax redevelopment, but the gift is depen- dent on them re- ceiving building permits within 16 months. W ith that timeline in mind, Coun. Dickerson wants to get the w orking group going now so it can meet during the summer. Coun. Brenner said if the working group is decided Monday — it is to have three members of council and three senior staff — it should be pre- pared to meet the next day. “That’s how urgent it is,” he said. “If you don’t start meeting immediately how are you going to sort stuff out?” In addition to the need for land for municipal services, the financial impact of Seaton is also a big concern for the City. “(There is) no way the taxpayers of Pickering should be on the hook for growth in Seaton,” Coun. Brenner said. ✦ Councillors from page 1 Councillors worry time is tight for planning Durham executives can put some bite into their ‘ China Strategy’ Doug Dickerson home on the night of Feb. 4, 2001. “All of the independent physical evidence points irrevocably, incontrovert- ibly to Cosmo Jacobson as the murderer of Roy Jones,” Mr. Murray said. Among that evidence are items, including Mr. Jacobson’s car keys, found in close proximity to shell casings at the murder scene, he said. “This is a simple case that really boils down to the credibility of Cosmo Ja- cobson,” Mr. Murray said. Mr. Kapoor, meanwhile, urged the jury to accept Mr. Jacobson’s testimony that he never intended to harm Mr. Jones, but mere- ly sought to intimidate him the night he and his best friend, Sean Hall, went to the Ajax neighbourhood with a semi-automatic .45 calibre handgun. Mr. Ja- cobson testified Mr. Hall shot Mr. Jones, delivering a final, execution-style shot to the back of the head, w hen Mr. Jones fought back. The defence lawyer said it made no sense for Mr. Ja- cobson, who faced a heavy prison term on charges re- lating to a home invasion robbery, to take the risk of committing a murder for which he would automati- cally be the lead suspect. “Why would he trade a 5- to 8-year sentence ... for life in jail?” Mr. Kapoor said. “Why would Mr. Jacob- son kill Mr. Jones when he knew the penalty for first- degree murder is life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years?” Mr. Kapoor urged the jury to acquit Mr. Jacobson on charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder, and con- vict him for manslaugh- ter. Mr. Jacobson tried to plead guilty to manslaugh- ter when this trial began, a move rejected by the Crown. Mr. Jacobson admits he went to Ajax with the intent of confronting Mr. Jones, and that his actions led to the man’s death, the lawyer said. Mr. Jones, a security guard at a Pickering flea market, saw Mr. Jacobson use bank cards stolen in a home invasion robbery in an ATM at the market on June 16, 2000. When Durham Regional Police traced the cards to the Metro East Trade Centre they spoke with Mr. Jones, who identified Mr. Jacob- son, an acquaintance from high school days in Picker- ing. Mr. Jacobson testi- fied that he and Mr. Hall hatched the plan to con- front and frighten Mr. Jones to keep him from testifying. Mr. Jones died just days before he was to appear in court. The Crown rejects Mr. Jacobson’s story. Mr. Mur- ray said again Thursday that Mr. Jacobson plotted to kill Mr. Jones, and that he, not Mr. Hall, was the shooter. Mr. Murray’s address continues today. It is ex- pected the case will go to the jury early next week, after a charge from Supe- rior Court Justice Donald Ferguson. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 24, 2005 PAGE 5 A/P visit our website at: www.petersacademy.com MAXIMUM INSURANCE SAVINGS CALL NOW - HOURS: 7 DAYS A WEEK 10am - 10pm PICKERING 1050 Brock Rd.

A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 24, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Second Chance needs a second chance No one’s likely ever questioned the large shadow Joyce Smith casts over the Durham community. And if they have, they shouldn’t any longer given the response in the last week since a building at Ms. Smith’s Sec- ond Chance Wildlife Sanctuary was left in bad need of repair following a fire. There have been many phone calls and e-mails to the News Advertiser, among others, with supporters imploring Ajax, Pick- ering and all Durham residents to help the centre in any way possible. The stories seem so similar — each detailing the good works Ms. Smith, the centre’s founder and president, has car- ried out for so many animals over the years, and all on a limited budget. The fire struck on June 15, killing two kittens and a rabbit, and it left another 200 animals in a temporary building that doesn’t provide the necessary long-term protection from the elements. With the aforementioned limited budget, Ms. Smith had no fire insurance, explaining the animals always seemed to need something else and as a result coverage kept getting pushed aside. Fire officials estimate damage to the sanctuary building at $10,000 and Ms. Smith and her growing number of support- ers are turning to the public for help in rebuilding the home and keeping the good works ongoing. Along with dollars, there is always the need for volunteers to help with the clean up and regular care for the animals. Ms. Smith has spent a lot of years helping animals and mak- ing a difference from her north Pickering sanctuary for animals. And many residents from across the region have been the ben- eficiaries in the form of their family pets. Now it’s the communities’ turn to return the favour and offer a deserved helping hand. Monetary donations can be made at any Bank of Montreal branch, made out to the Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary, account number 29978100655. Teachers make a difference in so many ways To the editor: Re: ‘Our teachers are just incredible,’ Tony Doyle column, June 12. Wow, what a treat to read an editorial that allows and ac- knowledges that teachers are not villains and enemies of the state, that they do good, honourable work, and that they like their jobs and care for children. After years of politically initiated and driven-teacher bashing, how nice to hear that not everyone thinks teachers are drains on society. I retired from a 32-year teaching career in 2002, feeling con- tent and satisfied that I helped children, be they vulnerable, gifted, newly arrived in the country, sick, average, etc. I loved the job, in spite of those who suggested that teachers were overpaid, underworked, and whatever else was the buzz of the day. Most teachers take on their classes or their assigned students and treat them as family, worrying about them and advocating for them. Over these last 12 years, they’ve been doing this in a very harsh, difficult educational and political environment. Ye s, teachers feed, clothe and otherwise nurture those chil- dren entrusted to them. They buy books needed for programs, which school budgets don’t cover. Traditionally, teachers just did these things, and no one knew. Now since things appear to have become confrontational, perhaps people should hear what has gone on and does go on. Thanks for the kind words, for those who have gone before, and for those to come in teaching.

Grade 8 graduation an important milestone Y oung men and women from ele- mentary schools across Ajax and Pickering have been preparing frantically over past weeks to celebrate an important milestone. Grade 8 graduation is upon us, most taking place this week. At many house- holds, including mine, the event has been circled on the calendar for some time now. In the lead up to the big day, it’s been a whirlwind of activity, mainly related to fashion — the never- ending trips to every clothing store between Oshawa and Pickering for my wife, sorting through every prospective dress and picking out just the right one for my stepdaughter as well as choos- ing a suit for my son, and making sure it’s pressed and hemmed. As we all know, Grade 8 graduation marks the closure of one chapter in their educational lives and the open- ing of a new, exciting one. It signifies the end of days in the tight-knit, almost insular world of elementary school and the beginning of their incorpora- tion into the much larger, somewhat impersonal secondary school realm. Whereas they’ve risen to the top as Grade 8 students, they’ll be at the bot- tom of the pile in the secondary school pecking order and lovingly referred to as ‘minor niners’. As parents, this evening reminds us of how time flies. We remember our two in what seemed like interminable years in diapers and now they’re teen- agers on the cusp of high school. It takes me back to my Grade 8 gradua- tion. It was like yesterday, really, that I was with friends, looking forward to moving on, yet feeling a tinge of sad- ness that this phase of our lives was over. We didn’t know it, but we suspect- ed that henceforth our world would change, our friends would change, we would change. My overriding feeling of that eve- ning was of amusement, seeing friends arrive decked out in all their finery, whereas on school days, they’d be walking around looking mostly dishev- elled and slovenly. I recall, following the awards ceremony, the DJ blaring Stevie Wonder’s ‘Sir Duke’ and the realization suddenly hitting us that we were supposed to dance. For the first hour, everyone made like wallflowers, standing shyly around the gym’s pe- rimeter. Then someone took a chance — they got up and out on the dance floor. With the ice broken, everyone joined in — it was officially a party. To all graduates, enjoy your evening because it’s important to celebrate life’s milestones and your successes. And, for Pete’s sake, don’t wait an hour to dance. Al Rivett’s column appears every third Friday. E-mail arivett@durhamregion. com.

Concern that plants not required to use Ontario corn By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — In a move that left local farmers scratching their heads, the Ontario government announced last week that it will pledge $520 million over 12 years to increase ethanol production, but it won’t require that compa- nies use home-grown corn in the process. Dale Mountjoy, an Oshawa farmer and local representative for the Ontario Corn Producers Asso- ciation, said the region’s 800 corn growers stand to benefit hugely from the new initiative — if they can get their product through the door. “These plants are going to be built with Ontario tax dollars, so it’s Ontario corn that should be going through them,” he said. “We would really like to see them make it a requirement.” Defending his government’s de- cision to allow imported corn, Pre- mier Dalton McGuinty said in a re- cent statement that a home-grown requirement would not work with existing free trade rules. The government is aiming to in- crease ethanol production by 700 million litres a year, to ensure that all gasoline sold in the province contains five per cent ethanol by 2007. Ethanol, a high-octane fuel ad- ditive made from fermented sugar or starch found in grains, can re- duce air pollution and smog by helping gasoline burn cleaner. In addition to funding research and supporting ethanol retailers, the Ontario Ethanol Growth Fund announced last Friday that it will subsidize five new ethanol plants. Earlier this year, the Canadian Renewable Fuel Association rated Durham as an “excellent” site for a potential plant, after the region suggested Oshawa, Uxbridge and Brock as possible sites. Marlene Werry, Durham’s rural economic development officer, said the next step is to attract local and foreign investors. “The government is providing $520 million over 12 years, but it takes about $10 of capital for every litre produced... you’re look- ing at $100 million for the average plant,” she explained. “Before any- thing can move forward, we need to meet with stakeholders and see what kind of support there is in the community.” Most local corn farmers are crossing their fingers for a Durham plant, because it would create jobs and reduce the distance that their product has to travel. Scugog cash crop farmer Dave Frew said that until about 20 years ago, small feed mills and distill- eries in the area provided an ideal destination for locally grown corn. “Now there’s nothing for about 150 miles, everything except for the small amount we use locally has to go to other parts of the province,” he said. “It would be great for the farming community and for everyone to have a plant in Durham.” Like his fellow farmers, Mr. Frew added that the government needs to follow provinces like Manitoba and make it mandatory for plants to use local corn. Ontario corn producers are already struggling to compete with their American counterparts, who receive govern- ment subsidies. “This is a chance for the Ontario government to help the farming community... using subsidized American corn isn’t the way to do it,” Mr. Frew said. The ethanol plan will be one of several issues discussed at a meeting of local grain and oil seed producers slated for June 28 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Scugog Island First Nation Health and Re- source Centre.

Well, as our annual Report Cards roll around again, the scorecard shows it’s been another year of sticking to his guns for the Durham Region chairman. He states his position and then vigorously defends it, not afraid to take on any opponents when he believes it’s in Dur- ham residents’ best interests. It’s fair to say that without Mr. Ander- son’s ongoing advocacy, we’d still be looking long-term at a region serviced by three geographical transit systems. Instead, the chairman has delivered a new regional transit that begins opera- tions Jan. 1, finally delivering a system that will greatly benefit all Durham resi- dents and one that will likely also attract previously unavailable provincial dol- lars. Mr. Anderson scored another coup in the last year, with his ascension to the president’s position of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario. In the role, he’s been a clear and effective voice for all municipalities, and has also been particularly effective in raising the pro- file of Durham Region. The chairman, however, loses marks above for what has probably been the biggest misstep of his political career: the regional headquarters. When talk of a new regional build- ing began, it was Mr. Anderson who championed the project hardest, stating it would save the Region millions of dollars each year in rental money. Only recently did it come to light that the new home, which hasn’t even opened its doors yet, will now reach capacity in the next couple of years. At our school boards, public trustees have found a comfort zone in the past year, finally showing more effectiveness in getting down to the necessary busi- ness. Locally, Paul Crawford and Sherry Croteau are on opposite tracks. Trustee Crawford continues a trend of needing committees and reports for many issues before trustees. Trustee Croteau made great strides in the last year, working to get colleagues on side with issues im- portant to her. It’s a different story at the Durham Catholic District School Board, where trustees too often show little passion for issues, deputations or controversies before them. In Pickering, Jim McCafferty contin- ues to offer a steady and experienced hand, while Paul Bannister continues to miss meetings. He has to be committed. Political report cards The Pickering News Advertiser’s Roger Anderson Durham chairman Last year: A- It’s hard to imagine Mr. Ander- son in any other role than that of a politician. He runs a tight council, keeps the rowdies in their place, knows the issues and always asks the questions. No one can ever accuse him of being afraid to speak his mind, either to councillors, his peers or the media. He is always acces- sible. Two of his greatest achieve- ments this year were winning the presidency of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and get- ting regional transit passed. But Mr. Anderson drops a par- tial grade for the soaring cost of and lack of long-term space in the new regional headquarters. Attendance: 107/138 regional council and com- mittee meetings combined Expenses: $24,481.99 Paul Crawford Public schools Pickering trustee Last year: C- Trustee Crawford contin- ues to baffle. In a recent debate over the transportation policy, he quipped that there had been lots of complaints, “but mainly about my per- formance.” Strangely begged his fel- low board members to have staff study further at least one of the student survey questions. Suggested custom-made window screens be priced for one high school, when other schools have none. At t endance: 8/9 Standing committee, 11/14 board meetings Expenses: $1,934.53 Sherry Croteau Public schools Pickering trustee Last year: C+ Trustee Croteau is genu- inely interested in what’s going on and it shows. She successfully led the process of reviewing trustee expense parameters, arguing w ith conviction that more things should be claimed to help each trustee do his or her best job, but that it won’t cost the board more money. In touch with her schools and their needs. At tendance: 9/9 Standing committee, 14/14 Board meetings Expenses: $1,674.53 Jim McCafferty Catholic schools Pickering trustee Last year: B+ Trustee McCafferty voted against the current budget, partly to protest what he said was continued government underfunding. Demonstrating his com- mitment to special educa- tion, another reason for his vote was because special- education funding wasn’t clearly allocated to the spe- cial-education reserve. Continues to advocate for a second Pickering Catholic high school, an argument that’s getting better due to the coming Seaton develop- ment. At tendance: 20/20 Board meetings Expenses: $571.88 Paul Bannister Catholic schools Pickering trustee Last year: C- Like most Durham Catho- lic trustees, the board mem- ber says very little at the table during meetings. Still missing his share of meetings, one of every four over the last year, which is more than any other board trustee. On the other hand, Trust- ee Bannister billed the board for just $255 in expenses in 2004, the lowest amount of any Durham Catholic or public board trustee At tendance: 15/20 Board meetings Expenses: $254.89 Municipal Report Card A- to A+ Excellent, best among peers B- to B+ Solid performance C- to C+ Fair, only average in most categories D- to D+ Weak, not up to the task, not ac- cessible F Awful, shouldn’t be there For council and school board trustee grades from around Durh am Region, log onto durhamregion.com DURHAM — Hot, humid temperatures combined with little rain have most area farmers doing a jig in their backyard hoping for showers as drought-like con- ditions look to be settling in across the region. According to Neil Moore, communications co-ordina- tor with the East-Central On- tario Soil and Crop Improve- ment Association, the 2005 growing season is a stark contrast to the early part of last year when rain and cool temperatures greeted those working in the fields. “Right now we’re quite a bit drier than normal; we could use a few showers,” says Mr. Moore. He notes that on average, about three inches of rain falls each May; however, last month, less than an inch of rainfall was recorded, says Mr. Moore. “Everyone’s looking for rain, it’s been sporadic in different areas and there seems to be initial drought stress to some of the crops at this point,” says Karen Yel- lowlees, who is involved in agriculture matters across Durham, noting crop condi- tions are “across the board,” depending on where and when they were planted and how much moisture was in the soil. “Ideally, we’d like to see a nice, gentle rain for a day; nothing overwhelming, but something that would soak the soil,” adds Mrs. Yellow- lees. The lack of moisture, Mr. Moore explains, makes it dif- ficult to get seeds into the ground and, subsequently, makes for a poor germina- tion process. “We don’t want the tem- peratures to go much over 30 degrees (Celsius); you want it to be warm, but not scorch- ing hot,” says Mr. Moore, adding most crops grow well during warm nights. With regards to rain, continues Mr. Moore, ideally farmers would like to see between three-quarters of an inch to one-inch fall per week. In May, however, some places recorded only four- to eight- tenths of an inch of rain for the entire month, he adds. “That’s not even close to being enough,” says Mr. Moore. As for the individual crops, Mr. Moore says corn “loves the heat and should move along well, but it does need some rain.” Beans are a concern, but should be able to compensate for the heat and lack of moisture, while spring grains are making headway thanks to the heat after lagging behind. Hay, he continues, saw a good first crop but the second cut “de- pends on much rain we get.” And, he adds, the heat and dry weather have helped curb diseases in the field.

Durham f armers would rather be singing in the rain this year Heading to Afghanistan, Sudan next month By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM — Four months after landing in tsunami rav- aged Indonesia, Joe Brown has helped rebuild schools, hospitals, steel bridges and roads. And that’s all without get- ting a penny from the Cana- dian government. “It’s in bureaucratic hands,” Mr. Brown, of the Whitby-based International Aid and Cooperation Organi- zation (IACO) said. “We went in with thousands of dollars and have been able to stand toe to toe with organizations with millions of dollars.” Because the IACO only has two years of history with the Canadian International Development Association, it does not qualify for the mil- lions of dollars Canadians donated to the region. Despite this, the IACO has landed contracts to rebuild schools, and has completed eight so far, with 10 others under construction. The more than 250 volunteers in the group have also worked on roads and built the first steel bridge. He considers his group “the most active NGO (non-government agency) on the ground.” The IACO relies on pri- vate donations, churches, mosques and other groups for funds, and figures it has spent around $500,000 re- building — which would equal around $5 million if the same work was done in Canada. One of the first jobs the IACO had was body extrac- tions. With more than 150,000 dead, there was a lot of work to do. “Unfortunately, going through and cleaning up the debris fields, it was just body after body,” Mr. Brown said, adding the military would then bury the bodies in mass graves. It’s key to get the infrastruc- ture rebuilt, Mr. Brown said. With the rainy season around the corner, drainage systems have to be constructed, along with roads. What’s most disheartening is that the $5- to $7 billion the world donated to the tsunami region in late December and January is not getting used, Mr. Brown said. “The bad part about the money is that most organiza- tions came in... but they don’t reconstruct,” he said, refer- ring to emergency groups. “They’re here and have a lot of good people... but their or- ganizations can do nothing about it.” He said the IACO will be in Indonesia permanently, and in Banda Aceh for at least the next four to five years. Next month, Mr. Brown heads to Sudan and Afghanistan to expand the organization’s work. “No, I don’t have a perma- nent home,” he laughed. “I call home the world.” durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 24, 2005 PAGE 13 A/P Ê À>Vià Ê“«>˜ÌÃ Ê ÊÊ Ê Ê Ê Ê Ê ", Ê Ê Ê Ê Ê*  , Ê" ÊÇÎ{ʈ˜}Ã̜˜Ê,`°] Ê Ê Ê­™äx®Ê{Óä‡ÈÓÓÈ Ê ÊÊ­-° °Ê-…i««>À`É6ˆV̜Àˆ>Ê*Ž°® ­{£È®Ê{™{‡Ó£ÓÇ Ê Ê­{£È®ÊÓÈLJ£n{n Ê Ê -+1, Ê /Ê /, - -+1, Ê /Ê /, - À°Ê°ÊÜ>`>> À°Ê œÕÌÀœÃ À°Ê>ÀŽÊÜ>`>> À°Ê/>˜˜ˆÃ À°Ê œÀ`iˆ>˜ÕÊ­i“>i® À°ÊՎʭi“>i® "ÕÀÊi˜iÀ>Ê*À>V̈ViÊ"vviÀÃÊ̅iÊ œœÜˆ˜}Ê-iÀۈViÃ\ • Dental Implants • Orthodontic Treatment (Braces) •Cosmetic Dentistry • Surgical Services (Wisdom Teeth) •Crowns & Bridges • Endodontic Treatment (Root Canal Therapy) •Treatment of Caries (White Fillings) • Periodontal Treatment (Gum Treatment) • Complete & Partial Dentures •TMJ Treatment • Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) iÜÊ«>̈i˜ÌÃÊÜiVœ“i` i˜iÀ>Ê`i˜Ì>ÊV>ÀiÊvœÀÊ̅iÊ Ü…œiÊv>“ˆÞ ˜ÃÕÀ>˜ViÊ«>˜ÃÊ>VVi«Ìi`ÊvœÀÊ L>ÈVÊÃiÀۈViÃ]ÊÜiÊ܈ÊLˆÊ`ˆÀiVÌÊ ÌœÊޜÕÀʈ˜ÃÕÀ>˜ViÊVœ“«>˜Þ œ˜Ûi˜ˆi˜ÌʅœÕÀà Daily 8:00 am - 7:00 pm.

We remain on track for a fall return to service. 4 Pickering A was able to run the refurbished Unit 4 reactor at close to 100 per cent, with electricity production running almost 7 per cent ahead of the first quarter of 2004. 4 At the same time, our colleagues at Pickering B were able to increase electricity production from their four units by almost 17 per cent over the same period in 2004. 4 Pickering A and B supplied 12.2 per cent of Ontario’s power needs during the peak winter demand months of January and February. Pickering Nuclear also made its presence felt in the community. We believe in building strong links with the communities we serve. Whether it’s environment, education, sports or cultural events, Ontario Power Generation is proud to be a community supporter. Pickering Nuclear MY NAME IS JOHN COLEBY,Senior Vice President at the Pickering A Nuclear Station. In every industrial operation, reaching top performance levels requires a highly dedicated and enthusiastic team of employees. At Pickering Nuclear we have the right team in place to achieve that objective. It is through excellent team perform- ance that we were able to produce top performance results in the first quarter of 2005 at both Pickering A and B. Our nuclear stations play an important part in meeting Ontario’s electricity needs, providing 40 per cent of the power for the province. The return of Pickering A Unit 1 this fall will help add even more power.

The Pickering Terry Fox Run Committee is paying tribute to the man, who left his legacy in the City when he ran through July 10, 1980, with a remembrance rally to mark the 25th an- niversary of the local visit. “Once or twice in a life- time, someone comes along who touches our hearts, deepens our faith in humanity and changes forever the way we look at the world... Someone who fights for a dream and works to make it come true,” said Kevin Cahill. “Terry Fox was that kind of person. He touched a com- mon chord that spoke to us of goodness and endless possibilities, of defiance in the face of an enemy, of human decency and most of all generosity.” Pickering council recent- ly granted a request from Mr. Cahill, the run orga- nizer, to proclaim July 10 Te rry Fox Day in Pickering. The planning is still in the works for the event but Mr. Cahill said it would get underway at 11 a.m. at the gazebo in the park east of the Pickering Civic Com- plex. Te am Terry and several dignitaries are to be bused out to Kingston and No- tion roads and then they are going to walk back to the gazebo, retracing that portion of Terry Fox’s run along Kingston Road. Glenn Healy and his pipe band are to lead the way. Once they get back to the gazebo at about 11:30 a.m. the agenda begins with guest speakers and hope- fully a barbecue, Mr. Cahill said. “It is a celebration of Te rry of course, but it also is a way to ramp up and get people ready for Sept. 18 (Pickering’s Terry Fox Run),” he said. Organizers invite all resi- dents to come out and cel- ebrate Terry’s legacy. Beth Wainwright earns heritage award PICKERING — Beth Wainwright possesses skills not often found in 18-year-olds. She can cross-stitch, rug hook and spin wool. The Pickering Museum Village volunteer was recognized by the On- tario Heritage Foundation with a 2004 Young Heri- tage Leader Certificate of Achievement, which was presented to her by Pick- ering Mayor Dave Ryan at the June 20 council meet- ing. The Young Heritage Leaders Program allows communities to recognize local young people for sig- nificant contributions to cultural, natural or built heritage preservation. City staff thought Ms. Wain- wright was an ideal candi- date. “I was surprised and ex- cited,” she said of learning she was going to receive the certificate. Ms. Wainwright began volunteering at the Mu- seum in April 1997, when she was just 12. Over the years she has assisted with summer camp and craft programs, and performed in dramatic productions with the village’s volunteer theatre company. To date, she has volunteered more than 300 hours.

By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Tony West- brook doesn’t think he did anything special, he was “just being a good neighbour.” Karen Darling would dis- agree. To her, Mr. Westbrook and his wife Joanne are her “s aving graces”, as are her other neighbours in the tight- knit Pickering neighbour- hood. Ms. Darling said the com- munity had always been close — having birthdays and din- ners together — and when she found out her youngest son Alex was sick they really came through for her. Last August, Ms. Darling found out Alex, now 12, had medulloblastoma, a cancer- ous brain tumor. The single mother, who also has a 13- year-old son, Matthew, didn’t know what she was going to do. In stepped her neigh- bours. First Ms. Westbrook, who happens to be an on- cology nurse at the Hospital for Sick Children where Alex was first treated, sat with Ms. Darling and explained to her in layman’s terms what was going on. She visited them on her breaks and brought Ms. Darling homemade food for the three weeks she was in hospital with Alex following his operation. “She has basically been very supportive since then,” Ms. Darling said. “It was a comfort to me.” The next step in Alex’s treatment was radiation therapy at Princess Margaret Hospital in downtown To- ronto. Ms. Darling worked in Concord (north of Toronto) so she knew she couldn’t go to work, go back to Picker- ing to pick Alex up and then make it downtown in time. “I was beside myself won- dering how I was going to manage going to work too,” she said. “In walked Tony We stbrook to my rescue.” Mr. Westbrook, who has known Alex since he was a baby, offered to pick him up from school and take him to radiation, but Ms. Darling wanted to be with her son so instead Mr. Westbrook picked Alex up and drove him to meet his mother at the Downsview subway sta- tion. Alex never missed one of his 30 treatments. “I don’t know how I would have done it otherwise,” Ms. Darling said, adding she was relieved and grateful. Mr. Westbrook is humble about his actions. “I was around, I was avail- able,” he said. “We were just doing what people would do. “I was just being a good neighbour, nothing special.” Ms. Darling said the Wool- stencroft and Callis families also were and continue to be supportive, including mak- ing meals for her and her sons and cutting their grass. “I am grateful everyday for their compassion and friendship,” she said of all her neighbours.

Millwork Home Centre 55th Anniversary Winner Aviation Expo takes flight this weekend DURHAM — If it has wings and flies, you can bet it’s at the Oshawa Municipal Airport this weekend. Organizers are expecting more than 20,000 people to fly in and drive to the 13th annual Canadian Aviation Expo June 24, 25 and 26. As a salute to the Canadian Armed Forces, this year’s expo takes flight with a show opener featuring the Canadian Forces Snowbirds. The nine-member aerobatics team, which typi- cally reaches flying speeds of 590 km/hr and celebrates its 35th anniversary this year, take off from Oshawa Municipal Air- port today at 10 a.m. The expo also features the Skyhawks, the Canadian Forces 15-member parachute team, which will jump during the opener Friday morning and as part of the daily air show throughout the weekend. “We’re very excited about this,” says director Steve Nich- ols, pointing out both perfor- mances are a first for the expo. The three-day event gives avid aviators a chance to see — up close — more than 100 aircraft on display. There will also be 250 exhibitors, aircraft and helicopter rides available and aerial demonstrations from 1 to 4 p.m. daily. Organizers moved the expo from Downsview Airport to Os- hawa Municipal Airport four years ago, which has turned out to be a wonderful venue for the event, says Mr. Nichols. “For pilots, they can fly-in direct without having to go through control zones,” he ex- plains. “It all depends upon the weather, but we get up to 1,100 to 1,200 planes fly in carrying a minimum of two people each.” Last year, the expo’s fly-in program had a peak landing rate of 145 aircraft per hour. Whether you drive or fly, on- site parking is free at the expo. Fly-in admission rates are $10 for a pilot and passenger for the day, or $17 for the weekend. Children under the age of seven are free. Each includes a flight line pass allowing clearance to touch planes displayed on the flight lines. If you drive to the event, an adult day pass is $15, with youth and seniors $10 each. A flight line pass is another $2. A weekend pass is $25 for adults, $20 for youth and seniors and free for children under the age of seven. All weekend passes include a flight line pass. Expect to thrill to a wide variety of war birds, amateur, ultralights, and classic aircraft. For more information about the expo, visit www.canadianexpo. com or call 1-866-309-9537.

Arnts Topsoil, The Landscape Supplier, has been the source for landscaping supplies in Durham Region and GTA for over 40 years. Adding fresh Triple Mix soil to your gardens will give your plants a good boost of nutrients. But not all Triple Mixes are created equal. Arnts Topsoil understands the importance of having a good soil foundation as a basis for a fl ourishing garden.

In addition to a wide variety of soils, mulches, and aggregates, Arnts Topsoil also provides the best selection of natural fl agstone and rockery, decorative gravels, interlocking paving stones and garden walls, slabs, curbs, steps, pond supplies, and much more.

P PAGE 26 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 24, 2005 durhamregion.com Brenda Dionne and Shelly Hillier It’s not just about getting mar- ried — it’s about walking down the aisle in a church. “Maybe it’s more about the stamp of approval,” said Brenda Dionne. “The religious aspect, to me, it means a lot.” Ms. Dionne and her partner, Shelly Hillier, live in Whitby Shores. Ms. Dionne, 53, is a stay- at-home-mom to the couple’s an- imals, while Ms. Hillier, 39, works in a call centre. After six years in love, it’s frus- trating not to have the equal rights. “I should be able to have the same choices as straight people,” Ms. Hillier said. “Basically, we’re only left with living together.” Raised Catholic, Ms. Dionne left the church after too many deroga- tory remarks from her priest, who was telling the congregation to vote with parties against same-sex marriage during the last election. “They’re encouraging intoler- ance and hatred,” she said. “Catholics, they really look up to and respect priests and bish- ops.” While the pair wait for the polit- ical tide to turn, they live a peace- ful and quiet life — and like it that way. “We’re at an age where our pri- orities are buying a house, our cat and dogs, being able to come home after work and relax and have barbecues,” Ms. Hillier said. “We just blend into the commu- nity.” Garrett Metcalfe If tolerance starts at home, than Garrett Metcalfe is setting the per- fect example for his children. He and his partner live in one side of a duplex in Oshawa, with his ex-wife, son, 11, and daughter, 8, in the other. The door between is always open. Mr. Metcalfe said he got mar- ried, had kids and suppressed his true self because he felt he had no other choice. “I feel a tremendous amount of guilt for that,” he said. “That is homophobia. It’s a society issue.” A teacher at Whitby’s Henry Street High School, Mr. Metcalfe said it’s encouraging that 10 to 15 students come out to him each year. “I realized very quickly after I came out the need for positive role models in school,” he said, adding sex education is still only about men and women. “That sets the tone for safety.” Mr. Metcalfe is working on bringing a gay-straight alliance to the school, and educating his stu- dents and peers about assuming: calling something gay does not mean it’s bad, and a girl bringing a date to prom does not mean it’s a boy. “I don’t think they understand the hurt it can give,” he said. “O nce they have the informa- tion and understand, more often than not I find their behaviour changes.” Kevin Burke He remembers watching hockey with his dad in the 70s, when news flashed of a bath house raid in To- ronto. “They should haul off and shoot those buggers,” Kevin Burke’s father said. While his parents are now “proud of their gay son,” Mr. Burke said it’s a perfect example of how people unfa- miliar with gays need to learn about them. “It’s the hardest thing to convince straight people: we are what we are,” Mr. Burke said. “It’s not something we can change.” Mr. Burke, 45, and a web developer for the Province, lives with his partner of 12 years. A few years ago he con- vinced the government to add lucra- tive gay and lesbian tourism to www. ontariotravel.net. “Gay equity is a series of milestones,” he said. “Some liken it to Black his- tory: many things had to go through before they were fully entrenched in our society. “I realize the public may think we’re too much in your face. We’ve been fighting this inequality for decades. “As tired as people are with us being out there, we are tired of them being out there with empty phrases. They just promote more hatred.” Mr. Burke is one of the founders of Durham Pride: www.durhampride. org. Story by Carly Foster, photos by A. J. Groen DURHAM — Alike but different, they use the same words: Love. Acceptance. Freedom. Painful. Sad. Suicide. Comfort- able. Terrified. Rejection. Equality. Hate. Family. Community. Diversity. They are you and me and everybody else. Here are their stories. Humberto Carolo Like most couples, Humberto Carolo and his partner moved to Durham to buy an affordable home. But, unlike most, they were a touch nervous about the suburbs. “We thought, ‘Oh my God, are we going to be the only gay couple? Can we be out? Are we going to experi- ence homophobia’,” Mr. Carolo said. But, nothing but good has come of the move. Mr. Carolo, 32, said he is also blessed with a very supportive family, despite his traditional Por- tuguese background. Many people feel they have to choose between their culture and being gay. “There were no signs growing up that they would be welcoming of my sexuality,” he said. “It was very pow- erful for me to see it was the other way around.” Wo rking with youth as a coordi- nator with the AIDS Committee of To ronto, he sees many teens from the suburbs flee to the city in hopes of acceptance in the gay village. But many wind up taking risks or end up in the sex trade. “It’s extremely important for the suburbs to come together and cel- ebrate sexual diversity,” he said. JUST ME: BEING GAY IN DURHAM Paul Awad It all started with a flag. Almost two years ago, Paul Awad and his partner flew a giant rainbow flag from their balcony in Whitby Shores. It was like a calling card for gays and lesbians in the community. The couple soon discovered there were more than 40 in their subdivision alone. Now they meet regularly for potlucks and barbe- cues. But most surprising was the lack of negativity from their neighbours. “People said, ‘You’re gay and cool,’” Mr. Awad, 33, said. “‘You’re normal.’ “The more we portray that nor- mal, the more educating it will be.” Being gay was one of the main reasons Mr. Awad left Lebanon. There it is illegal and people are put in jail and beaten — or worse. Three of his brothers no longer speak with him. “It’s painful. It’s sad,” he said. “But I have my life and (my part- ner) to support me.” The pair has been together for eight years. Mr. Awad works at IBM, his partner at a hotel. After fostering for the past six months, they’re giddy about soon adopting a child. “I think we’re at the point in our life where we want to give love back,” Mr. Awad said. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 24, 2005 PAGE 27 A/P 1-800-565-8603 or visit our website at www.dart.on.ca Are Drugs or Alcohol Affecting Your Life?

The third annual Pickering Village Jazz Festival is Saturday, June 25 on Old Kingston Road from noon to midnight. The main attraction will be the two stages that feature jazz per- formances throughout the day. “We’ve had people calling to find out when the different bands are playing, because they all have followers,” said Shir- ley Huck, a co-ordinator for the event. Bands that will be per- forming include Ragweed, the George Lake Big Band and the Brian Rose Quintet. While jazz enthusiasts are welcome to settle in and enjoy the show, there will be plenty of other things to do away from the stages as well. “You can dance in the street if you like,” said Huck. “Food vendors will be there, as well as artists and crafters with jewelry and pottery.” A beer tent will also be available. Jeremy de Mel, chairman of the Pickering Village Business Improvement Association, as well as a festival organizer, is confident anyone can come out and enjoy the day’s festivities. “It’s a totally free event, there’s no cost to attend,” said de Mel. “You can spend your day looking at the different stores and servic- es Pickering Village has, as well as the excellent restaurants.” Organizers expect anywhere between 3,000 and 5,000 people. “It’s our third year, and we’ve had great success with it,” said Huck. “It’s a nice, family event, for all ages. We change it every year, and it gets bigger every year.” The event has become pop- ular with Durham Region jazz fans, who don’t have to travel far and wide to enjoy their favorite music. “A lot of people are ex- cited that it’s in Durham,” said Huck. “You don’t have to go far, it’s right in the heart of Ajax,” said de Mel. He added, “If you’re into any kind of music, come out and relax. “It’s a great day to spend with friends and family.” Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser file photo Jessie Roy entertains the crowd on the main stage at last year’s Pickering Vil- lage Jazz Festival.

Three months ago in March, the trip of a lifetime for the Pickering Power Falcons Ontario Youth Soc- cer League girls’ under-15 team appeared all but dead. As most of the players and their families had booked tickets to the Pegasus Cup in San Diego online during a January seat sale with Jetsgo, they were left stranded after the air- line ceased operations. By all ac- counts, $14,000 — from a myriad of fundraising efforts over the past two years — was in limbo. The situation for the 14- and 15- year-old soccer players and their families has brightened consider- ably. Thanks to more fundraising, help from the Pickering commu- nity and, mostly, through a sur- prise donation, the team leaves To ronto on June 30 aboard a U.S. Air flight to Philadelphia. And, fol- lowing a two-hour stopover in the City of Brotherly Love, the players wing their way to California for the Pegasus Cup, returning July 7. “All is right with the world,” says a relieved Falcons’ team man- ager Karen Van Abbema prior to a practise session Tuesday night. “Everyone worked for two years for this, not only with fundrais- ing, but with the level they play at the practice and dedication on the field. “We were relieved and happy and overjoyed that the community has supported the girls in soccer. It’s so important and that the com- munity, who didn’t know us at all, is supporting us. That’s awesome.” The unexpected arrival of a benefactor, in the form of Richard Westberg and other investment representatives at Freedom 55 Fi- nancial, has allowed the soccer excursion to go forward, says Van Abbema. All told, Westberg and his fellow employees gathered to- gether more than $4,000. “Mr. Westberg and 15 to 20 fi- nancial advisers from Scarbor- ough and Durham Region have stepped forward and contributed and now we can go,” says Van Ab- bema. Mr. Westberg says an article in the News Advertiser about the plight of the team was brought to his attention by two cleaners, Cavell and Christa Nicholson, at his Pickering offices. “They asked ‘why doesn’t some- one do something to help these girls’,” says Westberg. “We actually could do something to help with our sponsorship program, which we could take advantage of. We live here, we work here and our kids play sports here and it was so grossly unfair what happened to these girls.” Va n Abbema says the dona- tion won’t replace the funds, which will eventually be recouped from the credit-card companies through which the airlines tick- ets were originally booked. But, that process is moving “at a snail’s pace”. The donation will, however, definitely help bridge the funding gap. “It didn’t replace the whole amount, but it tipped the scales in favour of (the players) going,” says Va n Abbema. “It sealed it for us.” Falcons’ team captain Cally Bolton, 15, notes the players are over the moon with anticipation of the trip. Although they’ve played in tournaments in the U.S. before, this is the first time taking a plane to a major tournament. “It’s going to be amazing,” she says. “Everyone is extremely look- ing forward to it.” She and her teammates are ex- tremely grateful with the sponsor- ship provided by Westberg and Freedom 55. “Happy isn’t even the word,” she says. “Without their support there would be no way we would be going to California. It’s an amaz- ingly generous thing for them to do.” Va n Abbema notes the Pega- sus Cup organizers have been ex- tremely sympathetic and helpful to the team’s needs in light of the airline fiasco. “They e-mailed me and told me ‘what can we do at this end?’” says Va n Abbema. “I asked them about refunding our entrance fee, but they told me, of course, we could have it back past the deadline... They were very supportive of us, gave us longer extensions. They’re very happy that we’re coming now.” Bolton says she and her team- mates have enjoyed a good season to date, winning titles at several tournaments, as well as posting a 2-1-1 record in four OYSL games. As for the 450-team Pegasus Cup, she’s confident the Falcons can soar to another crown. “I don’t expect, I know we’re going there to kick some butt,” she says with a laugh. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo From left, Rino Cipparrone, Steve Day and Richard Westberg of Freedom 55 came through for the Pickering Falcons girls’ under-15 soccer team. The financial advisers raised more than $4,000 to help the team attend the Pegasus Cup tournament in San Diego. Team captains Cally Bolton and Kate Walkom accepted the donation.

Opening for the BONES will be ‘Campbell-Verge’. Brothers Colin & Steve Campbell with Bev Verge. BAYLY RESTAURANT 325 Westney Road South, Ajax Greek When I stepped into Bayly Restaurant, a lovely woman, who I later found out to be the chef’s wife and part owner of this quaint, authentic style restaurant, immediately greeted me. I had a choice of sitting inside or outside on their beautifully decorated patio, and since it was a perfect day to be outside, I opted for the patio. Almost instantly I felt like I was sitting in a garden patio on the streets of Greece with fl owers in bloom and water fountains pouring. My taste buds were watering as I looked over the extensive menu. I was impressed at the diverse dishes Chef Tommy offers on his menu. There are authentic Greek classics such as chicken, lamb, beef and pork Souvlaki, Mousaka and Saganaki – the fl aming cheese in ouzo. But there are also traditional dishes with a twist such as Chef Tommy’s specialties Kleftiko Dinner and Stuffed Sole. Kleftiko Dinner comes with chicken or lamb stuffed with fresh organic vegetables, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese and wine, all wrapped in a fi lo pastry and baked in the oven until golden brown. The Stuffed Sole is a fi llet of sole stuffed with fresh organic grilled vegetables and then wrapped in vine leaves and baked in the oven until mouthwateringly juicy and tender. Both entrees come with roasted potatoes and rice. However they are most famous for their Rack of Lamb and Seafood Platter, which states for two, but wait until you hear what’s included because you may want to invite a couple more guests. The Seafood Platter comes with grilled fi llet of sole, salmon, calamari, baked scallops, shrimp and lobster tail accompanied with a Grand Marnier sauce. And if you think that’s a lot of food, wait until you see what it comes with. On the side, you will sample pita bread, fresh organic vegetables, rice, roasted potatoes and a choice of hot or cold soup or salad. And you can’t forget desert. Dip into the many layers of the delectable and delicious homemade Baklava or sip and savour one of their cold soups. I absolutely recommend the Cold Cranberry and Yogurt soup, its sweet taste may make you think you’re veering off your diet, but this soup (also perfect as an ap- petizer) is part of their Low Calorie menu. “We cook all of our dishes as healthy as possible and it feels great to offer this to our customers because we are giving them a healthy choice, without sacrifi cing taste,” said Mrs. Antoniacis. For a little bit of culture, authenticity and great cuisine, Bayly Restaurant should defi nitely be your next choice for casual din- ing.

HELENA (LENY) KOK In loving memory of a dear mother and oma who passed away on June 23, 2004 We often lay awake at night, While all the world's asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks. The many years we had with you, Are worth their weight in gold, And times we shared together. Are always ours to hold. We hold you close within our hearts, And there you will remain, To walk with us throughout our life, Until we meet again. Always in our thoughts, forever in our hearts Daughter Helen (Steven), sons Rick (Ginny) and Paul (Linda) and grandchildren Darren, Amanda, Breanna, Tyler, Emma and Matthew.
