[ What’s on ] Pickering will remember D-Day PICKERING — Come out to remember and honour he- roic Canadian soldiers during a D-Day parade and ceremony in Pickering. Thousands of Canadian sol- diers have given their lives, not only during Operation Overlord, the name given to the invasion of Nazi-held France on June 6, 1944, but also in many wars around the globe. On Sunday, June 4 at 11:45 a.m., the City of Pickering, in partnership with Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 606, Bay Ridges, invites the public to gather at the cenotaph in Esplanade Park at the Pickering Civic Complex to ref lect and remember. A parade is also planned from the Pickering Recreation Complex to the cenotaph. For more information about the event, call Joanne Finn 905- 420-4660.

The Duffin Heights neighbourhood, which is between the CP rail line and Third Concession Road on either side of Brock Road, has been a topic at the past two Pickering management forum meetings. John Presta, director of environment services with the Region of Durham, made a presentation at the May 1 meeting to discuss the environmental assessment process for servicing the area. The EA is to be completed by the end of the year with an expectation that people would be able to begin moving in around 2008-09. The area is projected to be home to 9,500 people by 2021 with land desig- nated for mixed uses and employment as well. Councillors are anxious to see this land developed to help increase Pickering’s low assessment growth, due to much of its land being under the control of upper levels of govern- ment. “No other municipality needs growth as much as we do,” said Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean dur- ing the presentation. Mayor Dave Ryan agreed. “This is an important part of the world for us and we’d like to see it go forward as soon as possible,” he said. Representatives from two of the major landowners -- Mattamy Homes and Ron Halliday -- along with rep- resentatives from the consulting firm Sernas Associates stopped by the May 23 meeting.

Among the other activities were the Great Paper Boat Race, children’s games and a butter-making demonstration. Pickering teens turn out in large numbers to make a difference By Fariha Naqvi Mohamed Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — From award ceremo- nies to spelling bees, the Durham Tamil Association is all about getting kids in- volved in the community. The purpose of this culturally infused organization is to keep its youth active and engaged in the community, in an effort to “keep them out of trouble,” says DTA president Dinesh Kumar of Ajax. The entirely non-profit organization was founded over coffee one afternoon back in 2000 as a group of parents dis- cussed ways to help their children in- tegrate and excel in the community. It began with just a few children perform- ing in front of community elders and has grown into a multitude of youth organiz- ing events, booking halls and putting together entire shows for the general public. “We just want our youth to be part of the community and also contribute in order to enhance and enrich our own culture,” says 29-year-old Ravena Ratnasingam, an Ajax resident and the DTA’s youth co-ordinator. The youth range in age from 12 to 18 and come from all parts of Durham Region. There are currently upwards of 100 members, although the numbers continue to grow. This may in part be attributed to a culture of inclusiveness. Mr. Kumar explains that he does not believe that only “the experts should be on stage. “Every kid who has some ability to perform, put them on stage,” says the 43- year-old. Those who wanted to participate and couldn’t think of a special talent were recruited for a fashion show. He is grate- ful for the generous sponsors who help keep the events free for the public by paying for halls and equipment. The DTA will be involved in the Frenchman’s Bay Festival as well as ac- tivities at the Pickering Museum Village on June 10 and 11. The youth are mak- ing traditional foods for the latter for an exhibition entitled ‘Canadian Tapestry, We aving the world together,’ which is a look at how previous generations lived. They will also be involved in the Ajax Home Week parade this year, in addition to a hospital walk-a-thon, the Terry Fox Run, helping to build a new stadium, and various safety issues. “The youth are really enjoying it as Butt out Pickering, it’s now the law across Ontario R esidents here shouldn’t see too many changes By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — The average smoker won’t see much of a difference in Dur- ham now that the smoke free Ontario legislation has taken effect, according to John Ingrao. The manager of environmental health with Durham Region’s health depart- ment said when the Region implement- ed its smoking bylaw in 2004 it was ahead of the game and therefore there isn’t a huge difference with the new legislation that trumps it. The Smoke-Free Ontario Act, which came into effect today (May 31), prohibits smoking in all workplaces and enclosed public places in Ontario and restricts youth access to tobacco. “In Durham we made great headway in 2004,” Mr. Ingrao said. “We did the right thing at the right time.” He said the main difference between the Region’s bylaw and the legislation is Durham had exemptions for bingo halls, private clubs, racetracks and casinos. The Province removed those exemp- tions so smoking is no longer permitted in places such as Royal Canadian Le- gions. In Uxbridge, however, Legion presi- dent Jack Ballinger said the club knew the changes were coming and were fully prepared. “Will it affect us?” he said. “No I don’t think so. We are going to be very posi- tive, we are attacking it in a very positive way.” Tamil youth thrive on community efforts ✦ See Changes, Page A2 ✦ See Natural, Page A4 ✦ See Tamil, Page A4 He said the legion has plans to paint the ceilings and walls and wash the place down. “Three years ago we were looking ahead and we put in a big patio,” Mr. Ballinger said. “So those who need to smoke can go there. “Two years ago we stopped smoking upstairs and at bingo and darts.” Smoking is permitted on patios that do not have a roof over them but not on patios that do. “Regrettably, that will cause a lot of confusion,” Mr. Ingrao said. Prior to May 31, smoking was permit- ted on any patio. As a result, many area establishments built special patios for their smoking customers, including Le Skratch Billiards Bar and Grill in Os- hawa. Chad Warford, a Le Skratch manager, said a roofed patio with walls four-feet high that could be completely enclosed with tarps, was constructed after the 2004 bylaw was implemented. But the patio will no longer be legal for smokers. However the bar will again look to ser- vice its smoking customers by extending its patio and leaving it roofless. “Basically we are making a second patio,” Mr. Warford said. “We hope that will work out just fine for us.” Initially, Mr. Warford said he expects there will be a slight drop in patrons. “But sooner or later everyone flows back into their routine,” he said. “And we will have the same customers coming that we have had since we opened.” The new legislation also tightens the reins on youth access to cigarettes. Yo uth access will be tested at area tobacco vendors multiple times a year, according to Mr. Ingrao, whereas the Region’s bylaw required it only once. 28 YEARS IN THE BUSINESS DON'T PAY 'TIL 2007 NO MONEY DOWN 0% INTEREST NO MONTHLY PAYMENTS!

A stand-alone um- brella covering a single table would not be considered a roof. • Hotels, motels, inns: Smoking is pro- hibited everywhere in hotels, motels and inns— except in guest rooms designated as smok- ing units. • Day nurseries and private home day care: Smoking is prohibited in a licensed day nursery under the Day Nurseries Act. Places where licensed private home day care is provided under the Day Nurseries Act must be smoke- free at all times, whether children are present or not. • Places of entertain- ment: No smoking in night- clubs, bars, restaurants, bowling alleys and theatres. • Residential care facili- ties, designated veterans facili- ties and psychiatric facilities While smoking is prohibited in all enclosed public places and work- places, operators of specifically desig- nated facilities may open and operate a controlled smoking area so that residents may smoke. • Exemption — Aboriginal Peoples Aboriginal residents of hospitals (public and private) and long-term care and psychiatric facilities have a right to use tobacco for traditional cultural or spiritual purposes. — Source: Government of Ontario www.gov.on.ca Ontario ready to go smoke-free Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo For most Durham residents, the new provincial smoking legislation shouldn’t be a big change. For Chad Warford, manager of Le Skratch in Oshawa, it means some work. The establishment built an enclosed smoking patio to comply with Durham’s smoking bylaw and will now have to build another to comply with the new provincial regulations, which came into effect May 31. DURHAM — The Province’s Smoke Free Ontario legislation prohib- its smoking across the region -- there are, however, exemptions for nursing and retirement homes, and designat- ed veterans’ and psychiatric facilities. Although smoking will be permit- ted in these areas, according to John Ingrao, manager of environmental health with the Durham Region health department, it can occur only under tight regulations. Nursing and retirement homes are required to provide specific main- tenance reporting documents com- pleted by a qualified air technician ensuring air exchangers are meeting government specifications. Also the designated smoking rooms must meet a specific set of standards outlined by the ministry, including a two-door entry, a ventilation system and fire- proof paint and furniture. Employee standards regulations leave it up to the discretion of the employee as to whether or not they enter the smoking room. Employees can’t be forced to enter the room and can’t be penalized for refusing to enter the smoking area. The same standards apply to vet- erans’ and psychiatric facilities. Smoking legislation leaves room for exemptions Changes to patio rules will cause ‘confusion’ ✦ Changes from page A1 By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — The red car- pet was rolled out for students across the region for the debut of their MADD movies. Finalists in the Durham chap- ter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving’s (MADD) ‘Create a Video Contest’ recently gathered with guests in an Ajax movie theatre to watch the movies they created to discourage impaired driving. Pickering High School placed first and earned $1,000, Bowmanville’s St. Stephen’s Secondary School came second for $500, and Pickering’s Dun- barton High School was third, earning $300. “The messages were good, very strong, peer to peer,” said Nancy Codlin, president of the Durham MADD chapter. She was really impressed by the student submissions and the support they showed each other during the viewing. “I had a lot of fun watching; it was really nicely done,” said Timothy Cozier, a student actor in the Pickering High video. Its movie featured clips of a young couple and an impaired collision that claimed the life of one of them. It included inter- view clips of drinking and driv- ing impact discussions, as well as shared experiences and mes- sages from students about safe and sober driving. Timothy was surprised his Ajax school won because he thought St. Stephen’s entry was very good. St. Stephen’s movie was about a student losing her mother in a collision caused by a drunk classmate. It included clips of the girl facing the person re- sponsible for her mother’s death and, later, the guilt and regret of the person who was drinking and driving. “The Dunbarton one was more about the person doing the drinking and driving and I really liked that,” added Timo- thy. Dunbarton’s movie focused on a teenage boy having a bad day at school and going out af- terwards to a party. Obviously intoxicated, he later gets into his car, hits two people and drives away, seemingly unaware of what’s happened. The col- lision ends up killing a young man with a family and injuring a fellow student, impacting her plans for the future. “Each school amazingly felt the feelings of a victim of im- paired driving,” said Ms. Codlin. This is the second year the contest has run. It began to get students more involved and thinking about drunk driving, said Ms. Codlin. The prize money is intended for future education or school equipment.

She loves helping out with the youth festival. “We have a lot of fun putting the whole thing together. “It’s generally hard as teenagers to get involved; the organizers give us a lot of choices so it’s easier.” The DTA is currently in the midst of organizing a career fair for the commu- nity. Although their social calendar seems to be jam-packed, the youths continue to look forward to additional ways to get involved in the community around them. “It’s not just about being involved with the Tamil community alone, but with the community in its entirety,” said Mr. Kumar. “We have an appreciation for the Dur- ham community and are proud to be Canadian citizens.” H O M E S W E E T H O M E HH OO MM EE SS WW EE EE TT HH OO MM EE PICOV FURNITURE C.C.

(NC)-Popular since the early 20th century, the white-on-white bathroom is making a come back in the world of design. What was once thought of as stark and institutional is now white hot. All whites are not created equal: Although whites may look similar to the naked eye, it’s the subtle variations in each shade that change the look and feel of your room. “The difference of whites is evident immediately when you look at them together, like all colours, they are either yellow or blue based,” says Diana Schrage, from the Kohler Design Center in Kohler, WI. Designers are weary of using “stark white” or “paper white” as the main colour because even though it goes with everything, the contrast can sometimes be too strong. White-on-white: From a design aspect, the most appealing thing about a white-on-white bathroom is the unique juxtaposition and depth created by using similar shades to highlight and accent the simplicity of white plumbing fi xtures. Choose products that will last the test of time such as Sterling sinks and bathtubs made of Vikrell, a durable material comprised of polyresin and fi breglass. They’re easy-to-install and designed with simple elegance. Sterling, a brand of Kohler Co., provides sinks in a multitude of styles ranging from pedestal to under the counter, featuring unique textures and fi nishes to give your bathroom added dimension.

You could get hurt.: 2006 DASMA & IDAGaraga actively supports the garage door industry's June Safety Month. Garaga and Autograph Door Systems join in with International Door Association (IDA) in the promotion of garage door safety month. The entire month of June is dedicated to special activities to help inform homeowners about the possible hazards of garage doors and automatic opener systems. It’s unfortunate that devastating accidents or injuries involving children still occur every year that could have been prevented. These incidents could have been avoided if homeowners would have done a regular visual inspection of their door. “The rule of thumb is that normally with just two fi ngers you can lift the door with little or no effort, if the door is well balanced”, according to Dan Hill, spokesperson for Autograph Door Systems. When a garage door is hard to lift, you should have a professional authorized dealer check the springs and other hardware to help prevent future problems that could end up being hazardous. Garaga is helping to inform children about good safety practices by holding a coloring contest for children 3 to 12 years of age with a chance to win a bicycle valued at $250. Complete details of the contest are available by contacting the Garaga Marketing Team. The drawing is available on the Garaga’s homepage at www.garaga. com. All coloured drawings must be sent by post to Garaga head offi ce no later than July 7th,2006. The draw will take place July 12th, 2006. “The largest moving object in most homes is the garage door,” Mr. Hill said. “They must be periodically adjusted and maintained to stay safe. It’s important that children not play near moving doors and that they keep their hands and fi ngers clear of section joints, hinges, springs and other door parts”, Mr. Hill pointed out.

After MacViro consultants identi- fied waste from energy as the pre- ferred technology to deal with the re- gion’s waste, a delegation comprised of the Durham chairman, three re- gional councillors and staff travelled to Europe to view the technology. “I think the trip went very well. We got some good, technical informa- tion,” Cliff Curtis said. The Region’s commissioner of works said it was an education in waste management they couldn’t have gotten otherwise. The trip began May 17 with an overnight flight to Copenhagen, Den- mark. Upon its arrival, the delegation was met by Tomas Rausing of ENVAC. ENVAC is a vacuum waste trans- portation system, which eliminates garbage being put on the curb as it is placed in receptacles and transported to holding areas where trucks pick it up. On May 19, the delegation went to Malmo, Sweden, where it toured the SYSAV energy-from- waste facility. Owned by 14 municipalities, the facility uses incineration to create heat and energy. The del- egation then travelled to Amsterdam’s energy-from-waste facility, which is run by the City of Amsterdam and serves one million people. The delegates also met with the director of the ministry of the envi- ronment and staff members where they discussed policy making and the challenges they face with incinera- tion. On May 23, it was a visit to the Omi- rin facility in Oudehaske, Friesland, a province in the northern Netherlands. This facility is a mechanical biological facility where organics, solid waste and demolition waste are processed. The organics are digested to produce a synthetic gas and digestate. Later that day, the group travelled to Alkmaar to the HVC energy-from- waste facility, which processes waste from 1.4 million residents. They then met for dinner with Dutch waste in- dustry representatives. “The Dutch facilitators set up a lot of good contacts that we wouldn’t have had access to otherwise,” Mr. Curtis said. On May 30 the recommendation by MacViro consultants will go before the Durham-York waste management committee, which will decide if the recommendation then goes before each of the regions works committees for consideration. “All and all it was extremely benefi- cial,” Mr. Curtis said. “For both staff and politicians it was well worthwhile.” Durham gets an education in technology Cliff Curtis Mike Pochwat/ News Advertiser photo A relay effort PICKERING — The Montessori Learning Centre held a Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life fundraiser, with Grade 7 and 8 students, Amanda Lozano and Alisha Jackson, helping students in the infant program, Arwen Ng-See-Quam and Sarah Harris, complete a couple laps. It was the first time the relay took place at the school, and school officials say it is the first Montessori in Canada to hold the elementary school version of the event. Eight cancer survivors started the walk off, with about 210 students participating, raising close to $10,000.

I will break them. I am the breaker of chains, destroyer of falsehoods, emancipator of those in digital bondage. I am the self-appointed Copernicus of Windows XP, throwing the light of truth into every dark dusty computer corner, rout- ing out superstition and wive’s tales with my “Delete Key” of fire. Why are otherwise sane peo- ple compelled to ransom their good will and love with threats of dire consequences? “Someone who thinks you’re absolutely fantastic is sending this to you! They love you to- tally and completely and want you to know that they are thinking of you right now! Send this along to 50 more people you think are fantastic and who you love totally and completely and something wonderful will happen to you before the day is out. Break the chain and you’ll get Gonorrhoea.” In what other personal dis- course do we behave this way? Is anyone out there in the habit of sending a Mother’s Day card, for instance, that says “Love you Mom. You’re the best... now mail this to 40 of your friends or you’ll die lonely and forgotten?” When my wife kisses me goodbye in the morning do I spend the next hour frantically trying to kiss another 20 strang- ers before noon or risk throw- ing the earth off its axis? Do I offer to help my neigh- bour put his new fence in only if he’ll guarantee to help 10 other neighbours put their fences in? And if he says he will, but doesn’t, will he find the bloated corpse of his Gold- en Retriever on the lawn in ex- actly one hour? Nothing says lovin’ like the threat of disaster. It’s medieval it’s so stupid. Wo rse are the ones that heap the guilt of the world onto your keyboard. A cheesy PowerPoint slideshow displaying homeless, limbless, orphaned children staring balefully into the cam- era. You are urged to forward this message to anyone and ev- eryone you can think of, your entire address book would be good... or these little ones are toast. Have a great day. Chain e-mails are annoying more for their abject ignorance than anything else. Think! Use your head before you hit “s end.” I would rather get the most maudlin, ugly, electronically buzzing and beeping “cyber- greeting” in the world than a chain letter. At least with the former there are no “condi- tions” attached to the love. Why not, instead of filling someone’s mailbox with gar- bage and furthering some boneheaded superstition that would make Cotton Mather look like Voltaire, send them a real letter. Ju st a few sincere lines, just to them. Or better yet, spend 20 min- utes in quiet prayer or medi- tation, holding that person in your thoughts and sending them good vibes. Too freaky? Any less freaky than “Send this to a thousand people in the next five minutes and your breasts will grow three cup sizes. Break the chain and you’ll be on the hook for thou- sands of acres of razed rainfor- est?” If you love someone, tell them. If you hate something, get involved. Either way, use your noggin.

V ictims’ needs paramount under DRIVEN A pair of Durham Regional Police detectives are absolutely DRIVEN in their desire to ease the burden faced by victims of domestic violence. The goal, as seen by detectives Tracey Marshall and Cathy Bawden, is to significantly reduce the stress and hassle faced by women (the vast majority of domestic violence victims are women) who must visit a multitude of agencies and professionals after they’ve been at- tacked. Some of those include medical professionals, police officers and a multitude of social services and advisers. Problem is, often with young children in tow, it can be extremely difficult to hit all those appointments, especially when they are in disparate places. In ad- dition, domestic violence victims may be without their own vehicle, making the problem of receiving help even more troublesome. That’s where the DRIVEN concept comes in. Durham Region’s Intimate Partner Violence Empowerment Network (DRIVEN) will try to offer a single site where all the possible needs of a domestic violence victim can be met. For instance, a woman could drop her children at a day care on site, visit a police officer, talk to a counsellor, apply for financial assistance, look at moving their children to a new school, and so on. The model for the program exists in San Diego where 100 domes- tic violence professionals work together under one roof. Victims feel comfortable and secure in such an environment knowing everything they need can be accommodated in one trip and on one day. Every- thing is co-ordinated around the needs of the victim, as opposed to the schedules of the professionals involved. Over the last eight months some 40 people from 25 local agencies have been meeting in Durham to try to make DRIVEN a reality here. A steering committee has been formed and Catholic Family Services of Durham has applied for a grant of $300,000 over three years to set up a DRIVEN pilot project out of its Oshawa office. There will also be a community forum on the DRIVEN concept on June 13 at West- minster United Church in Whitby from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Members of the public are welcome and can register to attend by e-mail at vcars@drps.ca before June 1. What started out as the dream of two detectives eight months ago is turning into reality. And that’s welcome help to those who are vic- tims of domestic violence.

Total votes: 154 No: 75.3 per cent Yes: 24.7 per cent LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Province’s Seaton plan superior to Pickering’s To the editor: Re: ‘Province must agree to bump up assessment,’ letter to the editor, May 24. Assess away. I’m confused by David Steele’s passionate plea to save environmentally sensi- tive land in Seaton and then endorse the City of Pickering’s growth management study (GMS), which recommends developing almost the exact same land in Seaton, and in- cludes 1,000-plus more acres of the Duffins Rouge Agricul- tural Preserve. Designed by the world-re- nowned urban planner, John vanNostrand, the Province’s plan is higher density, uses low-impact development practices, has a larger pro- tected natural heritage area, even conserves existing field hedgerows, never mind wood- lots and wetlands. It embraces the concept of near-urban ag- riculture and local food. The plan has been hailed by ex- perts to be the most progres- sive, sustainable urban plan in Ontario to date. In contrast, the City’s GMS process and results have been vastly criticized to be lacking in what Mr. Steele described as an “open, transparent and public process,” and many residents, environmental and community groups lobbied the Province to act when that public process failed to incor- porate community consulta- tion, or honour previous con- servation agreements. Are Mr. Steele and Pickering council expecting the public to believe after all three pro- vincial parties spent years studying the area, including the City’s own Rural Study in 1997-98, that when develop- ers, with huge profits to make, pay for a new one the science is different? Well, they don’t believe it -- plain and simple. No one wants to see more greenfield development, but if you really believe the taxpayer should pay to study it again -- go ahead -- just don’t pre- tend Pickering’s plan is going to save something when it won’t. Bonnie Littley Pickering Regional trip a waste of taxpayers’ money To the editor: Re: Region’s European vaca- tion nothing but waste, May 17. I’m getting so frustrated by the lack of a responsible local government that I don’t even know where to start anymore, but the latest fiasco warrants a few words. The Region’s illustrious group of money wasters has done it again. Imagine... sending a group of overpaid, under-worked officials off to Europe for a one-week all-ex- penses paid vacation. I am absolutely certain that someone or some city has al- ready been down this “waste management research” path before. This is the new mil- lennium, Internet ‘the infor- mation highway’, why are they once again finding new ways of wasting our hard-earned tax dollars that a few keystrokes or a couple of long distance phone calls couldn’t resolve. Also, I see that our unelect- ed Regional Chairman is going along for the ride as well as the mayor of our cash-strapped town of Whitby... nice work fellows, how about extending the same trip to a couple of your constituents? I’m sure they could use a vacation just a much as you two. Don’t these guys get it? Stop increasing our taxes to fund their personal agendas and what exactly does a Regional Chairman do? I’m going to ask my local of- ficial for his comments on the above and my vote in the next election will be based on his response. L.G.

Pickering’s Council has endorsed the development of a five-year implementation plan for Pickering’s waterfront and Frenchman’s Bay. One of the priority projects identified was the development of a Stormwater Management Master Plan for Frenchman’s Bay and its contributing watersheds. This is to address long-standing concerns regarding the ongoing decline in the quality of the Frenchman’s Bay ecosystem by seeking means to control the quantity and quality of storm runoff entering the local creeks and the Bay itself. The study area is shown on the map below. The Plan is being developed by the City in cooperation with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority in accordance with the Master Planning component of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (June 2000). This notice signals the study commencement. Two Public Information Centres (PIC) will be held during the project to provide information and seek public input. These will be advertised in the media but if you wish to be added to the project mailing list, please contact either of the undersigned. Mr. Robert Bishop, P.Eng. Mr. Richard Holborn, P.Eng.

PA GE 7 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ May 31, 2006 P PAGE A8 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ MAY 31, 2006P Your community... online Speech, language and hearing awareness all celebrated in May By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — From speech im- pediments to social issues, Durham’s speech and language pathologists are helping students improve their com- munication. May is speech, language and hearing month and Kathi Loughran, a speech pathologist, said there are a number of services available through the Durham District School Board to help improve a student’s communication skills. “Often times, people have difficul- ties and they don’t know where to go for help,” said Ms. Loughran. “We see students all the way from JK to possibly the end of high school,” she added. Through the new curriculum, prob- lems may be noticed sooner in lan- guage skills. Wo rk done through the board’s speech and language pathologists can help students improve sounds and stutters, use grammar, better un- derstand what people are saying, and improve social aspects, including eye contact and waiting for their turn to talk, said Ms. Loughran. “When the speech and language pa- thologist works closely with the school, we see behaviour changes with the child for the better,” said Kim MacCarl, principal at Harmony Public School in Oshawa. Speech and language activities can also boost a student’s self-esteem and make them more sociable, said Ms. MacCarl. She said the school meets regularly with a speech and language patholo- gist and other board staff to review students who may need help, and to- gether they discuss intervention. “Sometimes the speech and lan- guage pathologist may say, ‘that’s nor- mal, don’t worry about it,’” said Ms. MacCarl. After a speech and language pa- thologist does an assessment, which could be done over a number of days, a report is prepared with recommenda- tions for parents and teachers to help the student improve, or decide if the child should be identified as special needs. They also could put parents in touch with outside agencies for stu- dents who may be hard of hearing. “What we’re trying to do is represent the child as best we can in the class- room,” said Ms. MacCarl. Ms. Loughran said suggestions com- ing out of the assessment could in- clude practising rephrasing things and recommending computer software. “It really depends on the student’s need,” said Ms. Loughran. “Something like vocabulary, maybe send some vo- cabulary home.” Ms. MacCarl said a speech and lan- guage pathologist may even suggest solutions such as a quiet setting or ear plugs for students easily distracted by background noises. Ms. Loughran said hearing resource teachers also work with schools. For more information on speech and language assistance, call the Durham board at 905-666-5500 and ask for the chief speech and language patholo- gist. He lping improve the lines of communication for students Walter Passarella/ News Advertiser photo Speech and language pathologist Kathi Loughran, right, is with Harmony Road Public School students Noah and Shelby Royal. Ms. Loughran notes there are a number of services available through the Durham District School Board to help with communication skills.

Expires May 31/06 National Women’s Hockey League team may fold or relocate if new sponsors not found By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — A year after the Durham Lightning was brought back from the brink, the women’s hockey team is in danger of folding once again. Brandon Smith, co-owner of the Ajax- based National Women’s Hockey League team, says the Lightning may cease op- erations or be moved to another location if other local sponsors don’t step up. The Durham businessman notes a decision on the club’s fate will be made in the next two weeks as, by mid-June, he has to inform the league of his intention and secure ice time with the Town of Ajax for the 2006- 07 campaign. “We re- ally want to stay in Durham, but if we don’t find some local sponsors or an investor, we’re done,” says Smith. “If somebody doesn’t step up, it won’t stay in Durham or not at all. It’s an op- tion we really don’t want. We’ve tried every avenue. There’s a chance the Dur- ham Lightning could fold and, if that happens, (women’s hockey) will never be back (in the Durham area). It will be over.” Ironically, it was Smith who rode in as the white knight to save the Lightning from folding or relocating a year ago. Also serving as the club’s general man- ager, Smith brought in top-flight talent to aid the team to its best-ever season in its seven-year history in the NWHL, finish- ing atop the Central Division standings and making it to the playoff semifinals before bowing out to the Brampton Thunder. Smith, a longtime fan of women’s hockey whose wife, Sara Puryear, plays on the Lightning, notes the trouble began after his former partner, whom he refuses to name, pulled out of the own- ership arrangement midway through last season. Smith brought Dustin Jep- son on board as an owner, and the two soldiered on through the remainder of the campaign. “He came in and put some money in and really helped us get through the season,” says Smith. “The last thing we wanted to do was to destroy the season.” Smith says he and Jepson each offered up about $20,000 to keep the team afloat through the 2005-06 campaign. Even that amount wasn’t enough to pay all the team’s bills, as he indicated a “small amount” is owning to the Town of Ajax for ice time as well as to the Durham West Girls’ Hockey Association. “We’re not willing to do it anymore -- we need help,” says Smith. Smith says he’s approached the Town of Ajax about receiving some help to keep the Lightning in town. Unfortu- nately, the Town had “no interest” in pursuing such an arrangement. He did, however, note the Town is amenable to a payment plan for outstanding ice fees, but wouldn’t consider forgiving the amount owing. He’s also been in touch with the DWGHA to form a partnership to keep the team in the area. The DWGHA had formerly owned the team, but sold it to Smith and his partners a year ago after principal sponsor, Telus, pulled out. But, Smith says the girls’ hockey association that serves Ajax and Pickering has no interest in helping the team financially. DWGHA president Richard Sabourin says that although he would love to see the Durham Lightning stay in the area, the association isn’t interested in help- ing to fund its operation. “In all good fiscal conscience, I can- not increase registration rates for 11- and 12-year-old girls to subsidize senior women’s hockey. They have to exist on their own merit,” says Sabourin. Smith says he’s had offers from other GTA centres for the team, with the most interesting prospect being from the City of Vaughan. He’s also received two ver- bal offers from two private interests, but says talks have not led anywhere yet. “Nothing is solid. If anything was solid, I would have taken it by now,” he says. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo In the Lions’ den AJAX — Ajax Wanderers’ Nicole King is surrounded by members of the Toronto Lions women’s team during Toronto Rugby Union women’s ‘A’ league action at the Wanderers’ field on Saturday afternoon. The Lions prevailed 41-10. Ajax-Pickering senior ‘B’s score twice late to earn draw; dropped for first loss by Wellington By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — The battle of Durham settled nothing on the lacrosse floor Sunday night. The first-place Ajax-Pickering Rock (4-1-1) travelled to Brooklin to play the fourth-place Merchants (2-3-3) in Ontario Lacrosse Association se- nior ‘B’ action with the teams playing to a 6-6 draw, with a 10-minute extra frame failing to break the deadlock. The hosts were in full control of the outcome in the third period, lead- ing 6-4 with about seven minutes to go, when they allowed the Rock back into the game. At the 6:07 mark, Mark Craig scored his second of the contest. After moving deftly past a Merchants defender, his hard shot beat goaltender Rick McCulloch to bring Ajax-Pickering back to within one. On the power play with 1:15 re- maining, the Rock struck for the equalizer when team captain Jim Ve ltman swooped past the Brooklin defence, gathered in a rebound and beat McCulloch cleanly. For the Merchants, it was yet an- other sister-kisser in the books -- their third in a row -- having also played to a 11-11 draw with the SEL Shamrocks on Friday night and, before that, they settled for a 9-9 tie with the Mohawk Stars on May 20. But, this game in particular, says Mike Bradley, was one that should have went in the win column. “We keep finding a way to blow it at the end and not come out with the win,” says Bradley, a third-year player. “But, we have to keep plug- ging away. It was a good battle out there tonight.” The Merchants, says Bradley, were looking to rebound from a 14-7 loss to the Rock in Brooklin two weeks ago. And, the single point is a definite confidence booster. “To come out with a point is some- thing we can build on,” he says. “They’re a good team and the de- fence definitely got tighter as the game went on.” Veltman praised the Merchants, which took advantage of a rash of Ajax-Pickering penalties to turn an early 2-0 deficit into a two-goal lead before the end of the first period. “I thought it was a hard-fought game by both teams,” says Veltman. “They played bigger and better than they are and all the sudden you got a lacrosse game going on. They’re a good, disciplined club.” He added that when the Rock needed to turn up the intensity in the third, the defence and especially goaltender Pat Campbell held the team in the game until players like leading scorer Craig could give the team a timely goal. For Rock head coach Paul St. John, the Brooklin game was the culmi- nation of a frustrating weekend for the club that entered the weekend a perfect 4-0, but could muster only a single point. A flat Rock squad felt the sting of defeat for the first time this season with a 15-7 loss to the We llington Aces in Elora on Friday night. Mostly, St. John focused his ire on the officials for Sunday’s contest, who handed out 48 penalty minutes to the Rock versus 20 to the Merchants. “I don’t see why they were doing what they were doing,” says St. John. “Both teams were confused because they didn’t know what they were going to call and what they weren’t going to call. Nobody comes to see them (the officials); everyone comes to see great lacrosse.” St. John commended his players for rebounding from a two-goal defi- cit in the third period, despite play- ing shorthanded a large portion of the game, including four times in the third. “I was proud of the guys. It was a hot night and they were seeing things weren’t going their way, but they came back with two great goals and came through in the end,” he says. The Rock host the Aces at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday. Game time is 8:30 p.m. Durham Lightning in dire st raits Rock, Merchants tie one on Retirement for lacrosse icon not in the cards for the time being By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — The grand old man of lacrosse has no intention of leaving the game just yet. Jim Veltman, arguably the finest player in the history of the game, who turned 40 in March, says he plans to stick around with the National La- crosse League’s Toronto Rock for a few more years. “I feel like my body is healthy enough to play,” says Veltman, who’ll enter his 14th season in the NLL next year, seven of those with Toronto. “I really want to quit when I feel it’s time and I don’t feel comfortable with (retiring) yet.” And, as witnessed by Veltman’s play in Sunday night’s 6-6 tie between the Ajax-Pickering Rock and Brooklin Mer- chants, there’s still plenty of magic left. The Brampton native and Stouffville resident, who’s captained the Ajax- Pickering entry in the Ontario Lacrosse Association senior ‘B’ league for the past three sea- sons, turned im- pending defeat into a draw with the Merchants, which were clinging to a one- goal lead late in the contest. With Veltman calmly running the power play with just more than a minute to go, he managed to get be- hind the Brooklin defence and send a rebound past Merchants’ Rick Mc- Culloch. But, as is his way, Veltman was quick to downplay his go-to guy status with Ajax-Pickering, preferring instead to give credit to the work of teammates. “Our defence and Pat Campbell played awesome. They didn’t allow a goal after the second period, which is pretty awesome in this league. They gave us a chance to come back.” Ve ltman is happy once again to be back playing in Ajax-Pickering, using the summer league to keep in shape for the upcoming NLL season. The four- time Mann Cup (Major Series) winner (three with Brampton; one with Victo- ria) says the senior ‘B’ team is a better fit at this point in his career. “I like coach Paul St. John and his ideas of the game. He’s allowed me a lot of input and one day I would like to coach, so I have that here. I’ve enjoyed it here. I’m in my third year and I’ve enjoyed every year. It’s the closest team to my home for me and my family.” Ve ltman notes last season with the To ronto Rock was a tough one. The team got off to a shaky start, losing their first four games, and finished the final stretch of games meekly, with a 1-4 record. In the playoffs, the Rock were ousted in the semifinals by the Rochester Knighthawks last month. The subpar season spelled changes, however, including the firing of head coach Terry Sanderson and his coach- ing staff. “Everybody thought Terry Sander- son was pretty secure. But, we didn’t help him. We started 0-4 and ended 1-4. Anytime you lose your coach and your coaching staff it’s a dark day. The players didn’t respond. I person- ally apologized for that,” says Veltman, the longtime captain of the Toronto squad. Veltman is, however, excited to play next season for his former Rock team- mate Glenn Clarke, who was recently named the new head coach. “Glenn and I know each other and I really like his style and he’s brought in a coaching staff that is suited for the job,” he says. “He’s a cerebral kind of coach and we have a lot of leaders on the team, so he should fit right in. I feel good that Clarke was chosen.” Jim Veltman Veltman happy to keep Rock-ing into future Pebbles Record: 4-1-1 1st place, OLA senior ‘B’ OLA SENIOR ‘B’ STANDINGS Team GP W L T GF AvGF GA AvGA PTS PIM AV/G Ajax-Pickering 6 4 1 1 62 10.3 42 7.0 9 266 44.3 Mohawk Stars 8 4 3 1 88 11.0 63 7.9 9 291 36.8 Wellington 7 4 3 0 63 9.0 53 7.6 8 187 26.7 Brooklin 8 2 3 3 69 8.6 76 9.5 7 262 32.8 Shamrocks 5 2 2 1 49 9.8 48 9.6 5 171 34.

The Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) Central Region Track and Field Championships at Yo rk University on May 24 and 25 brought together 95 schools from the Durham, York and Georgian Bay re- gions, with the goal to qualify for the OFSAA championships at Toronto’s Etobicoke Centennial Stadium June 1 to 3. Pickering High will send the largest contingent in the Central Region to the OFSAA showcase, with 28 athletes (13 girls), including six relay teams. Competing under favourable weath- er conditions, the Pickering Trojans captured the top co-ed team and the top boys’ titles at the central regionals. In addition, Pickering High’s girls’ team turned in four record-breaking perfor- mances. Adriana Allen established one meet and three school records, while Jessica Nasmith added her name to the school record books. Allen broke three 23- year-old school records, posting a time of 12.57 seconds in the midget girls’ 100 metres, a clocking of 26.52 in the 200m and was also a member of the midget girls’ 4-x-100m relay team, which also included Marissa Smith, Melody Lee and Galenell Sinclair, that established a new meet and school record of 51.85 seconds. The midget girls’ team’s time also ranks as No. 1 heading into the OFSAA championships. Nasmith added her name to the school record board with a clocking of 1:06.83 in the senior girls’ 400m hur- dles. Ryan Gordon broke a meet and school record in the senior boys’ 110m hurdles with a time of 14.40, the No. 2 ranking in the province.

Carol Luttmer and partner Jen Pro- van of Toronto placed seventh in the women’s 470 Olympic Class at the prestigious Holland Sailing Regatta from May 23 to 28. This Grade 1 event (highest ranking next to the Olym- pics) attracted more than 32 com- petitors from across the globe and consisted of 11 races over five days. The top 10 competitors quali- fied for the finals, or medal race, on the last day. The newly introduced ‘medal round’ race is a short, 20- minute, real-time umpired race in which each boat scores double points for the race. This makes the race ex- tremely important. Luttmer and Provan’s results over the series consisted of a 20, 5, 11, 4, 6, OCS (on course side or a false start) 7, 6, 6, and 15. After a difficult start, they eventually finished sixth in the medal race. “I was happy with my performance. Jen and I are starting to work well to- gether. We are really starting to work like a team,” Luttmer said in a re- lease. “Our goal was to place in the top 10 at this event,” Provan added. “I was happy with our seventh-place finish overall.” The duo’s next regatta is the Euro- pean Championships from June 19 to 28 in Balatonfurd, Hungary. “This event will be an opportunity to test ourselves against the best 470 sailors in the world”, said Luttmer. The women’s 470 Class is the wom- en’s double-handed dinghy intro- duced in 1988 at the Seoul Olympic Games. It was the first Olympic Class discipline for women’s sailing. Luttmer is hoping for a medal per- formance at the Olympic Summer Games in Beijing in 2008. NEWS ADVERTISER 905-683-5110 Fax 905-683-0386 PICKERING — The Am- berlea Tennis Club has a number of upcoming events and a full program for new and returning members. The club hosts its open house at its courts on Shady- brook Drive, just south of Strouds Lane in Pickering, on June 3 and 4, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day, weather permitting. The open house is a free event, with no equipment or experience required. There will also be fun activi- ties, prizes and a barbecue lunch. Amberlea is also expected to offer an after-school drop- in tennis program. The pro- gram is expected to start im- mediately after work on the club’s courts is completed by the City. No equipment or experience is required. Mondays and Wednesdays are reserved for players under age 12. Tuesday and Thursdays are for players ages 12 to 17. Sessions are from 4 to 5:30 p.m., weather permitting. This year, the Ontario Ten- nis Association-sanctioned club will offer a tennis lad- der for its competitive mem- bers throughout the season, with being at the top of the ladder the ultimate goal. The club’s even launched a website, www.amberleat- ennis.ca, created by mem- bers Martin and Sherry Croteau, to keep its mem- bership up to date on club happenings. Amberlea offers a mixed house league that oper- ates each Tuesday eve- ning through the summer months for members of all ages. On Tuesday morning, the Durham Ladies’ League is on court, starting from mid- June until late August. On We dnesday nights, Amberlea has joined forces with the Rosebank Tennis Club to field a team in the Durham ‘C’ league. Jordan Kluge, 18, is the team cap- tain for the combined Am- berlea-Rosebank, which plays other Durham Region tennis clubs throughout the season. “We combined the team with Rosebank because of the court space,” says Kluge, adding that the four courts (two at Rosebank, two at Amberlea) allow the team to participate in league play. There’s also the Wednes- day morning Spring Toronto Ladies’ Tennis League, a competitive circuit in which Amberlea has fielded a team for the past 11 years. “We were the first club to be accepted into this league out of the GTA,” says club president Rosemary Aiken. “Because we only had two courts and no washrooms, we were forced to look for another club for our home games. The first few years we played at Dunmoore Tennis Club and then the last three years we have played our home matches at the Sandy Beach Tennis Club.” Aiken added Amberlea teams have been successful over the years, winning the ‘B1’ level championship last season. Amberlea also offers les- sons, courtesy of club pro Dave Ochotta, who will pro- vide instruction for adults and juniors within the club.

PLAN YOUR WEEKEND WITH CHRIS GLOVER @ videodurhamregion.com This Week Canadian Statesman Port Perry Star NEWS ADVERTISER Uxbridge Times-Journal ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT infodurhamregion.com Church exhibit asks artists to get in the spirit Dunbarton-Fairport art show will feature 75 pieces By Mike Ruta Staff Editor PICKERING — Dunbarton-Fair- port United Church welcomes the community to its second annual Art for the Soul event this weekend. The exhibition and sale of work by at least 30 artists from Durham Region is on the theme of ‘Religion and Spirituality,’ and the latter at least can mean a number of things to different people, says Kim McCann. A local artist, parishioner and co- ordinator of the event, she says the theme came from Reverend Glenn Brown. “He wanted the community, as it’s becoming larger and more diverse, to come in and see what the local art- ists’ idea of spirituality is,” she says. Last year, McCann says the event was a success, attracting images of churches, angels and a number of other subjects. “It was anything from a sunset to the face of a child,” she says. Also last year, each artist was lim- ited to one piece, but in this year’s exhibition, there’s no limit and the artists “can go to town.” About 75 pieces will be on dis- play. The artists are mostly from Ajax and Pickering, but some reside in Port Perry, Oshawa and other lo- cales. They include Ajax artists Sha- ron Steinhaus and Michael Peech, the latter well-known for his cubist works, and Pickering artist Maureen Killam. All are PineRidge Arts Coun- cil members. D unbarton-Fairport United Church has commissioned a Stein- haus painting of its sister congrega- tion, the historic Erskine Church at Finch Avenue and Fairport Road. Killam is still determining what and how many works she will have on display, but plans on exhibiting a painting of a stained glass window she encountered in a small church, in addition to a painting that began as a photo of Lake Ontario. “I was standing on the bluffs look- ing across the lake and the sun was beaming right across at me,” she re- calls. Killam says she put her sunglasses in front of the camera lens, and the result was a purplish photo with a cross in it. “I do a lot of my own photography and most of my paintings are from my own photography,” she explains. Of the theme of the show, Killam notes, “it’s hard to know what to put in a show like that.” Speaking with other artists, she said their feeling was that works of flowers and landscapes wouldn’t be appropriate. Killam, however, disagreed. “It’s all spiritual, isn’t it?” she rea- sons. For McCann, a past-president and longtime member of Ajax Creative Arts, her work of her mother and grandmother in Holland in 1914 definitely fits the bill. In the paint- ing, her grandmother has her arm around her mother. “To me, that’s family, that’s spiri- tual,” she says. In addition to the show and sale, a tea room will be set up for guests to enjoy refreshments. Art for the Soul is Friday, June 2, from 4 to 9 p.m., and June 3 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is no admission charge. D unbarton-Fairport United Church is at 1066 Dunbarton Rd. (near the Dixie and Kingston roads intersection). Entertainment Briefs MAY 31, 2006 Organ authority returns for concert PICKERING — William Wright re- turns to Pickering Village this weekend. A senior lecturer at the University of Toronto and an author, Wright is also a popular and respected teacher and authority on the organ. The organist presents a repeat of his entertaining April’s Fool Day concert, featuring a collection of light, classical music for the organ that is whimsical, interesting and entertaining. This time around, Wright is putting St. George’s Anglican Church’s new organ through its paces. The June 4 show is at the Ajax church, 77 Randall Dr., (near Church Street and Kingston Road) at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the door for $15 for adults and $10 for seniors. Youths under 16 are free. Musicians wanted AJAX — Bring your guitar to the Bayly Restaurant on June 7.

Award-winning Ajax photographer Cyrus David is featured at www.dwac. ca/cyberGallery.html. “Colour and shape influence me; they are what I am attracted to, and that is why my subject matter remains eclec- tic... but composition, light, and perspec- tive form the language of my images,” David says. The featured Cyber Gallery artist changes about every six weeks. Mike Pochwat/ News Advertiser photo Ajax resident Sharon Steinhaus is one of the 35 Durham artists whose work will be featured at the Art for Soul event. The art show and sale is June 2 and 3 at Dunbarton-Fairport United Church. The watercolour painting to the right, which was commissioned by Dunbarton-Fairport United, is of Erskine Church, the sister congregation to Dunbarton-Fairport.

Last season, the Uxbridge Players, which amalgamat- ed with the Uxbridge Musi- cal Theatre to form Onstage Uxbridge, had a hit with its production of ‘The Nerd’ by Larry Shue and starring ac- tors from north Durham and Oshawa and directed by Anna MacKay-Smith of Uxbridge. Now, comes ‘The Foreigner’, also by Shue. “It has much of the same cast and the same director,” said producer Andy Fiddes. “‘The Nerd’ was a smash hit and I think ‘The Foreigner’ is even funnier. We’re hoping for another hit.” Set in a lodge in rural Geor- gia, the play starts when an Englishman, Froggy, brings his friend Charlie to the lodge. “Charlie is terribly shy and has people problems,” Fiddes said. “They set up a plot that he is from some exotic foreign country. All the other charac- ters in the play think he can’t understand English. They begin talking in front of him, thinking he can’t understand them.” Charlie gets to hear the most private conversations and even sinister plots, Fid- des said. It all leads to a hilarious climax, the producer said. The actors returning from ‘The Nerd’ are Paul Futhey, of Oshawa, as Rev. David Lee, Conrad Boyce, of Uxbridge, as Froggy, Ruth Smith, of Ux- bridge, as Betty Meeks and Michael Serres, of Port Perry, as Owen Musser. Joining them are Annette Stokes-Harris, of Port Perry, as Catherine, David Honsberger, of Good- wood, as Charlie, and David Huehn, of Uxbridge, as Ellard. ‘The Foreigner’ opened May 25 and continues May 26 and 27, June 1 through 3 at 8 p.m. at the Uxbridge Music Hall, 16 Main St. S., with a 3 p.m. matinee June 3. Tickets are $14 to $16 and are available through www.starticketing. com, by calling 1-866-808- 2006 or at Blue Heron Books in Uxbridge.

Dealer Bill Graham said that the renovation intended to provide shoppers with a new and improved shopping experi- ence. This, combined with un- paralleled product selection and superior quality, has been integral to Canadian Tire’s success. Customer loyalty has also played an important role in the retailer’s success. W ith his customers in mind, Graham and his team planned a renovation that would make shopping at their location plea- surable. “With over 58,000 sq. ft. to work with, we were able to create an atmosphere in which our customers feel like welcome guests.” The spacious new floor plan, including wider aisles, lower shelving and im- proved lighting, all work together to achieve that goal. The renovation has also made each department more accessible and products easier to find. Along with an increase in floor space the product range has expanded. Bigger selection and new brand names make browsing effortless. The new ‘Living’ department of- fers inspiring décor solutions, in- c luding an extensive line of prod- ucts from the Debbie Travis Col- lection — available exclusively at Canadian Tire. From floor to ceiling, you can dress your home in quality paint, rugs, drapery and hardware that complement a full selection of coordinating acces- sories. From tableware to towels, y ou can expect great style and high quality. S ummer will be served up like never before. Canadian Tire Pickering’s 20,000 sq. ft. Garden Centre has a selection that will please even the most discern- ing gardener. In addition, you’ll find stylish and practical outdoor furniture and accessories, plus all the accents you need to create the outdoor oasis you are looking for. Camping, fishing and sport- ing goods lines have also been expanded and improved. N ot to be outdone, the 20-bay automotive service centre, along with a fantastic vehicle main- tenance and care department, awaits you. This renovation saw not only the store grow but also the team of associates. Thirty-five new faces have joined the Canadian Tire family in Pickering. “We want to provide service and as- sistance to our customers. If you need help or have questions, just look for one of our sales associ- ates in the red shirts. We’re here to serve you,” en- couraged Graham. “I’m delighted with my team who worked tire- lessly on this project. We’re all proud of the results and excited to serve our customers better than ever.” Pickering’s Canadian Tire is looking good!
