Despite a staff report recom- mending that stops signs not be installed on Rougemount at Pine Ridge Road, councillors voted to install the residents’ requested signs. “I’m not one to jump up and down when a community brings a point of view to us. I am familiar with the area... The speeds are above the limit; it is a road that lends itself to picking up speed. This is an enhancement to traffic- calming,” said Ward 1 City Coun- cillor Kevin Ashe at the May 23 executive committee meeting. Concerned Rougemount resi- dents came to council May 1 to ask that a stop sign be installed on the street to slow people down All signs point to residents getting their stop Roadside testing offers eye-opening numbers for researchers By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — A woman jogs south down Whites Road while a large diesel truck idles at a red light. She is breathing deeply through her mouth bringing oxygen to her lungs, heart and muscles to propel her along. But, oxygen isn’t the only thing she is breathing. She was breathing in thousands of fine particles that would also make their way into her lungs. Represen- tatives from the Clean Air Partner- ship, the Southern Ontario Centre for Atmospheric Aerosol Research at the University of Toronto, and Ajax and Pickering were testing air quality in the two municipalities. They were doing it to raise aware- ness in advance of the annual Smog Summit June 7 and 8. “One of the messages we’re trying to send is that there is the percep- tion that air pollution is a downtown To ronto problem and that once you go to the suburbs it’s not, but that’s not true. Air pollution is a regional issue,” said Gabriella Kalapos, of the Clean Air Partnership. The readings for particulate mat- ter in Ajax at Harwood Avenue and Hwy. 401 hovered around 10, while the readings of approximately seven weren’t much different at Strouds Lane and Whites Road in Pickering. A smog advisory is issued at 45. Be- fore last night’s rain and the shift in wind, levels were higher than 80. The testing for fine particulate matter varied depending on wheth- er they were taken in a high traffic or residential area and whether traffic was stopped and idling or driving by. It jumped from 4,000 to 8,000 with the presence of an idling truck and jumped to 12,000 after a car took off ONE LAST GASP Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Brianne Porter from the Pickering Swim Club powers her way through the water during the mixed 50-metre short course breaststroke event at last weekend’s Last Gasp Swim Meet.

It’s cheaper to save energy than to make it, and a big part of today’s conservation culture involves “no cost” ways to save energy. Imagine the effect if all Ontarians put their minds to saving energy every day using these simple suggestions. I believe it can happen. Together, let’s do it! PETER LOVE’S “TOP TEN” WAYS TO REDUCE YOUR ELECTRICITY USE - FOR FREE! 1. Only heat (or cool) the rooms you need. Close off vents and doors of unused rooms. 2. Set your air conditioning thermostat to the highest comfortable setting. Use your programmable thermostat to raise the setting when you’re regularly out of the house. 3. Pull your drapes and blinds on the south side of the house during the daytime to keep the heat out. 4. Use the right size pan or pot and cover it while cooking. Don’t pre-heat your oven except when baking. 5. Microwave ovens use up to 75 per cent less energy than ovens. Try using one when ever possible, especially for one- or two- person meals. 6. For smaller cooking jobs, use smaller appli- ances, like an kettle or toaster oven. 7. Did you know that your old fridge in the basement could cost you $150 or more per year just to keep a few cans cold? Maybe it’s time to show it the door. 8. Up to 90 per cent of the energy your washing machine uses is to heat the water! Use cold water for the wash cycle instead of warm or hot. New detergents specifically made for cold water are now available. 9. When using your dishwasher, save hot water by skipping the pre-rinse cycle. 10. And the brightest idea of all: turn off lights, computers, televisions, etc. whenever you leave a room or don’t need them – even for a few minutes. It’s easy to get into the energy-saving habit! If we all do a little, we can save a lot! Peter Love Chief Energy Conservation Ofcer of Ontario THE CONSERVATION ZONE PUT A LID ON YOUR ELECTRICITY BILL THIS The Conservation Bureau develops and delivers programs to help Ontario residents conserve energy and save money. We hope these energy-saving ideas will help you manage your energy use. For more information, visit: www.conservationbureau.on.ca like a kettle or toaster oven. and prevent more accidents. Dan- ielle Holmes, who lives right at the three-way intersection, said it was only a matter of time before an accident there is fatal. “Mark my words, if we don’t so something someone will be killed on that corner,” she said at the time. When contacted Wednesday, Ms. Holmes’ reaction was to the point. “It’s about time,” she said. Gail Lawlor, a fellow Rouge- mount resident, was unaware the issue was on Tuesday night’s agenda. “That’s very good news,” she said when contacted. “I’m very pleased to hear that.” Staff didn’t recommend install- ing two stop signs on Rougemount Drive (there is already one on Pine Ridge Drive at the intersec- tion), because the street’s condi- tions don’t meet the criteria. “The stop control is not recom- mended because the volume of traffic just doesn’t exist to warrant it,” said Everett Buntsma, director of operations and emergency ser- vices. “There may be a good justifi- cation for the stop control, but under our criteria the stop control isn’t warranted.” The traffic study found Rouge- mount handled a daily volume of 1,450 vehicles, with the majority travelling at more than 15 kilo- metres over the speed limit of 40 km/h. “I understand the need to do studies, but because we have a history at this corner and we have a history of accidents at this cor- ner, (a stop sign) works for us,” Ms. Lawlor said. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner pointed out Ms. Holmes brought with her a peti- tion signed by a large number of residents in favour of installing the signs, which Ms. Lawlor said was still the case after their visit to council. The issue goes to council June 5 for final approval. ✦ It’s from page 1 ‘It’s about time,’ says resident of stop sign approval Red Fantail $188 each Black Lyretail Molly 5/$500 Gold Gourami $188 each Neon Tetra 5/$500 Neon Dwarf Rainbow $188 each Feat her Fin Synodontis $388 each TigerBarb 5/$500 Sarassa Comet $188 each Amazon Sword 5/$500 FISH SPECIALS Prices valid through June 8th.

The Ajax-Pickering MP has been named to the Liberal shadow cabinet as critic for the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA). Interim Liberal leader Bill Graham made the announcement May 30, along with a number of other changes to critic roles. “I’m very pleased with this appoint- ment,” Mr. Holland said. “The way that Canada manages its border with the United States and other ports of entry has become a very important issue since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. We need to ensure the free flow of people and goods while making sure that Canadian and international security is protected.” Mr. Holland will question Minister of Public Safety Stockwell Day in the Com- mons during daily question period. The CBSA operates as an agency under the Department of Public Safe- ty and Emergency Preparedness. Its workforce of 12,000 serves 1,200 points across Canada and 39 locations abroad. It provides an integrated border service controlling access to Canada by people and goods, making sure admittance is in compliance with Canadian law.

Council voted 15-9 against the recommendation, with four members absent. The request for propos- als (RFP) went out two years ago when the Region sent out a tender for the design, build and opera- tion of a new Durham Re- gion Material Recovery Facility on Garrard Road in Whitby, needed to ac- commodate Durham’s re- cyclables. “The tender closed in fall of 2005,” Mr. Curtis said. “Since then we have been evaluating the documents, there has been a very rig- orous evaluation process.” The Region’s joint works and finance committee ap- proved a proposal by Metro Municipal Recycling Ser- vices on May 17. Al Metauro from Metro Municipal Re- cycling Ser- vices appeared Wednesday to review the sub- mission. He said staff had chosen Metro because its proposal had received the highest techni- cal, financial and com- bined scores in the tender- ing process. Mr. Curtis explained the proposals had to pass the technical grade before the financial envelope was opened. The technical ele- ment included the overall proposal plus, manage- ment, company experi- ence, project and equip- ment design and function- ality, schedule viability, operational function and health and safety. There were three bids submitted and one, Waste Management, failed the technical initially. But Rick Growden of Waste Management of Canada Corp., who also appeared at council, said the RFP process was flawed. He stated Waste Canada was treated un- fairly throughout the process. Waste Man- agement did not pass the tech- nical qualifica- tions of the RFP, however, Mr. Growden said the RFP process was supposed to have included a 10-minute oral presentation, which was cancelled by the Region. “We were waiting for the oral presentation to go over the technical,” Mr. Growden said. Blair McArthur of Miller Group echoed the feel- ings expressed by Waste Management. Miller had passed the technical re- quirement with its base bid but had provided an alternate proposal, which did not pass the technical evaluation. “We believe the process to arrive at this recom- mendation was flawed,” Mr. McArthur said. “If the evaluation pro- cess was sound then why would two out of three bids fail? Mr. McArthur said Miller has hired a lawyer to re- view the process and the lawyer indicated the situ- ation was, “clearly action- able.” Staff however, urged council not to reject the recommendation. “You may not be pleased with the results… but we can’t pretend it didn’t happen and start over,” Mr. Curtis said during the meeting. It is expected that with the July 1 changes to waste collection, which will see recyclables collected on a weekly bases, their will be a 20-per cent increase in material. He told council the Re- gion can handle the July 1 launch of the green bin program and the increase in material this will bring but it will be a stretch. He said he would start talking to neighbouring recycling facilities to see if they can carry the region in the in- terim. “We are already over- loaded (at the Garrard ma- terial recovery facility in Whitby),” Mr. Curtis said. Unfortunately, Mr. Cur- tis said the tendering pro- cess cannot be started over because it has been tainted. Once the prices were made public it gives the companies involved a competitive disadvantage. Mr. Curtis said the works department was working Thursday trying to put to- gether for council an al- ternate plan to deal with recyclables. What’s going on in your community?

Kelly Sabaliauskas, a master’s stu- dent from U of T, said the fast- er vehicles accelerate from a stopped position, the more particulate matter released into the air. At one point the levels jumped into the tens of thousands as a large truck drove by. When the group walked into the residential area, the levels stayed around 3,500. Ms. Kalapos said while they know fine particulate matter poses a significant health concern, it is only now becoming an emerging field of study. She said because the particles are smaller they are more easily absorbed into the lungs and even the blood. Chantal Whitaker, Picker- ing’s environmental aware- ness co-ordinator, said the City was happy to take the Clear Air Partnership up on its offer to test the air. “We’re hoping it will make people more aware of their behaviour so they don’t idle or they choose transit or car- pooling,” she said. Ms. Kalapos said the goal of the testing, which was done in other GTA municipalities last year as well, is to raise awareness and get different levels of government and dif- ferent municipalities working together. “There’s a need for all of us to work together to address regulating air pollution at the government level,” she said. ‘All for not’ — Durham rejects winning facility bid Cliff Curtis Ajax, Pickering in on emerging area of study ✦ Ajax from page Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Researchers from the University of Toronto and the Clean Air Part- nership tested the quality of the air Thursday in Pickering and Ajax. EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Pickering makes right call on signs Sometimes the numbers can’t tell the entire story T hings just aren’t always black and white. As such, Pickering council will be making the right call if it does the expected Monday and upholds an executive committee decision to support stop signs on Rougemount Drive at Pine Ridge Road. Committee approval went against a recommendation to reject the request by City staff, which said the traffic volume in the area just didn’t warrant the signs. But, as we said, not every situation is simply black and white. Pickering councillors heard the three-way intersection has been dotted by accidents over the past few years, while the stretch has also turned into a speedway, so to speak, with many motorists ignoring the speed limit. Danielle Hol- mes, a resident at the intersection, shared her fear someone would die there if changes aren’t soon made. All this, and Ms. Holmes also collected a petition of resi- dents supporting stop signs. “It’s about time,” was her reaction to the committee deci- sion. Traffic volume studies serve an important purpose in en- suring we’re not seeing stop signs and lights at every single intersection across Pickering, a proposition that would grind the city to a halt, among countless other problems. Each traffic pattern and problem is specifically unique, if you listen to the residents impacted. And, quite often stops signs are nothing more than a Band-Aid solution sought by frustrated residents. But, in this case there is a pattern of accidents, a reason for concern and the will of residents to see something done. There are enough shades of grey to avoid playing this one strictly by the book. Stops signs are the right call for Rougemount and Pine Ridge and should receive a final OK Monday night. Trash trip is no waste To the editor: Re: Valuable or a waste? Committee debates Region’s Euro- pean trip, May 28. I am astonished at the petty politics being played over the urgent multi-billion dollar waste disposal issue. This issue requires a solution that is well-considered, researched, and a strategy developed that is no less than in- novative and cost effective. I would hope the decision mak- ers (politicians) become educated on a worldly spectrum of potential solutions. Their job is to put forward a plan to get us out of this mess without destroying the environment or adding huge tax increases. Oshawa Regional Councillor Brian Nicholson states that he is facing tax increases and we’re sending people to Eu- rope! I find this statement very ill-considered and lacking in thought. In the real world (industry), the scope of your research is directly related to the scope of the project. The scope of this project is among the largest in the Region. Get- ting out and understanding the big picture and resolution concepts are not only expected, they’re absolutely necessary. Coun. Nicholson, get on board.

The last of the public meetings held by the Central East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) was saved for the people of west Durham (Ajax, Pickering and Whitby), giving LHIN rep- resentatives a chance to educate and be educated. The legislation removing control for many aspects of the health-care system from the minister of health and long- term care to 14 regional LHINs passed March 1, yet many unknowns surround the authorities. People worry they mean privatization, or that residents of Ajax or Pickering will have to travel to other parts of the LHIN (which stretches from Scarborough to Peterborough and north to Haliburton) for care if services are consolidated. One man who attended the evening made a comment about how this wasn’t local planning when Ajax is grouped in with Haliburton and Scarborough. What he wasn’t considering is that before the LHINs took over planning, Pickering and Ajax were grouped in with all of Ontario. While there remains fear of the un- known, there is also optimism that the change could make things better. The board and staff deserve the chance to prove themselves before judgment is laid. The LHIN means a chance for people to be a part of the planning process for the health plan for their community, and the change to regional authorities could mean a change in the way hospitals are funded so local residents won’t be short- changed anymore. The consultations were a good first step in involving the public in the LHIN, giving people a chance to put a face to this mysterious organization. A session in the afternoon also gave health-care providers from different areas, such as long-term care facilities, hospitals and mental health, a chance to come to- gether and share ideas -- something they say has never happened before. Over the next year, community groups such as the Friends of the Ajax-Picker- ing Hospital, health-care professionals, residents, and the media are going to be watching closely to make sure this good first step is followed by another and an- other. The Central East LHIN deserves a grace period, but at the same time let’s hope they use that opportunity to better things and engage the community even further. It would be a shame to have the newfound optimism for local health care turn to cynicism and disappointment. Danielle Milley’s column ap- pears every third Friday. E-mail dmilley@durhamregion.com. Give LHIN reps a chance Danielle Milley staff reporter Co-ordinator asks for support By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — There hasn’t been much play for a park project in the Let Them Be Kids (LTBK) initiative. The three-day LTBK event, June 8 to 10, culminates in a playground build at Radio Park in Oshawa. But, accord- ing to Penny Contreras, LTBK Durham project co-ordinator, the program is about much more than the playground build -- it is designed to help communities build partner- ship and volunteerism. “It is about making a safe community so our kids can be kids,” Ms. Contreras said. “It isn’t just about building the playground.” A series of seminars, Ms. Contreras said, will bring residents together to share visions for Durham Region. The playground build is meant to be a tangible repre- sentation of what people can do by working together. “It is amazing when you start talking about it how many people want the same things for their community,” Ms. Contreras said. But registration for the seminars is rather low and Ms. Contreras said it is some- what discouraging. “Maybe we will be really pleasantly surprised and all sorts of people will show up,” she said. “But we just aren’t getting the registration we thought we would.” Part of the problem, ac- cording to Ms. Contreras, is people are looking at LTBK as an Oshawa initiative, which she said it is not. There are nine seminars in all, which range from remov- ing barriers, to recreation for low-income families, to building world-class com- munities and a public lead- ers’ forum. The sessions are meant for the whole region. A ‘power of one communi- ty rally’ takes place June 9 at 7 p.m. at the Jubilee Pavilion in Oshawa and Ms. Contreras said she is sure it will prove to be a moving and motivating experience for all residents. Dan Carter, honorary chairman of Durham’s LTBK, attended the May 31 Durham council meeting to urge of- ficials to join in the seminars and activities. “I would like to see that by the end of the day all the poli- ticians in this room and all the supporting staff sign up for the public leaders’ semi- nar and the build,” Mr. Carter said. “We need all hands on deck right now.” Radio Park in Oshawa has been chosen from more than 80 communities across Cana- da as the launch site of LTBK, a nation-wide program.

Participants in the up- coming Run the Lake event may want to remember that as they raise money for the Rouge Valley Health Sys- tem Foundation. Proceeds from the 13th annual event this year will be used to buy ice-making machines for the Rouge Valley Health System, which has hospital sites in Ajax and Scarbor- ough. The event is set for Sat- urday, June 17 at Rotary Park, on Lake Driveway West at Parkes Drive. Maureen Dowhaniuk, the manager of special events for the foundation, says ice machines “are the most requested piece of equipment by depart- ments at Rouge Valley.” The emergency, cancer, labour and rehab depart- ments have all asked for machines, she notes. Each costs about $5,000. Last year, funds from the run went to a vital signs monitor, which measures oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the heart. The foundation wants to get ice machines for both sites, Ms. Dowhaniuk says. “When people come to us, we have a shopping list” of equipment needs, she adds. There’s a five-kilometre walk, and five- and 10-km runs. The walk starts at 9 a.m. and the run at 9:30 a.m. Walk registration is $15 until June 10, $20 from June 11 to 15, and $25 on race day. Run registration is $20 until June 10, $25 from June 11 to 15, and $30 on race day. Registration forms can be picked up at both sites of the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation, at the Ajax Community Centre on Centennial Road, or on- line at www.runningroom. com.

Fairman Public School, Whitby Gertrude Colpus Public School, Oshawa Harold Longworth Public School, Bowmanville Sir William Stephenson Public School, Whitby Hard working and generous man still inspires students today WHITBY — A proud and intelligent man, Earl A. Fairman caught the at- tention of Whitby citizens in 1950 when he was 45 years old. Mr. Fairman devoted his time and heart to establishing a well-de- veloped, educated and friendly learning envi- ronment named Hillcrest Public School. It was later renamed in honour of Mr. Fairman and proudly stands today as E.A. Fair- man Public School on Walnut Street: the caring and sharing public school. Some accomplishments of the generous and hardworking man include establish- ing classes for slower learners as well as the first school library, and supervising all schools being built during that era. Mr. Fairman also taught someone who went on to become a famous hockey player: Tim Horton, for whom the coffee chain was named. His legacy continues on within the school community of Earl A. Fairman. Information supplied by Nicole McCoy, Grade 8 student First woman elected to public office in Oshawa OSHAWA — The first woman elected to public office in Oshawa, Gertrude Colpus served as a member of the Oshawa Board of Education for 27 years. A former kindergarten teacher, Ms. Col- pus was born in Godalming, Surrey, Eng- land and immigrated to Canada in 1912 with her husband and daughter. Ms. Colpus was one of the founders of the Home and School Association in Os- hawa and served 29 years, holding office as vice-president and then president. Her vision was for schools to educate children to better help them meet the needs of a changing world, and under her leadership, education developed and pros- pered in Oshawa. She believed firmly in the establishment of music instruction in all schools and argued it was an essential component of education. She recognized the importance of early years’ programming and spoke passionately of the need for a kindergarten class in every school in Oshawa. The Public School Trustee’s Association presented her with its finest honour, rec- ognizing faithful service ‘beyond the call of duty’. She was a strong proponent of the co-operative link between parents, trustees and teachers. Gertrude Colpus Public School opened in January 1958 and three portables were required to accommodate the large number of students until an addition was completed in September 1959. Ms. Colpus was present at the official opening Feb. 14, 1959. She died October 28, 1959. Information supplied by school officials During the Second World Wa r, Whitby was the location of Camp X WHITBY — Located on Athol Street in Whitby, Sir William Stephenson Public School was named in honour of the ‘Man Called Intrepid’. Sir Samuel William Stephenson, also known as Intrepid, established Camp X, a secret spy training facility on the shore of Lake Ontario in Whitby. A Winnipeg native and First World War veteran, Mr. Stephenson was appointed in 1940 to counter threats against British war supplies. His operation, renamed British security co-ordination (BSC) in 1941, became responsible for sorting and disseminat- ing intelligence signal intercepts to Canadian, British and American authorities, and for assisting in the co-ordination of allied intelligence efforts. The British Special Operations Executive appointed Mr. Stephenson to recruit agents for its sabotage and subversion operations in Europe, and in Central and South America. At Camp X, Americans were instructed in the British arts of secret warfare and top-secret communications were transmitted across the Atlantic. Among other tasks, Mr. Stephenson also assisted in the development of the Office of Strategic Services, the American Independent Secret Intelligence and Special Opera- tions Agency. At the onset of the Cold War, he played an influential role in handling the defection in Ottawa of the Russian cipher clerk, Igor Gouzenko. Mr. Stephenson was knighted, awarded the Order of Canada and the William J. Donovan award, and became the first non-American to receive the Presidential Medal of Merit. He died at his home in Bermuda in January 1989 after a career dedicated to ensur- ing Canada’s place in the North Atlantic Intelligence Alliance. Information supplied by school officials Man was a teacher, war veteran and hero BOWMANVILLE — Harold Francis Laurence Longworth was a teacher, war veteran, hero and inspiration. Born Oct. 27, 1916 in Wood- stock, Ontario, Mr. Longworth graduated in 1937 from the Uni- versity of Western Ontario with several awards. At 21 he started teaching French and German at Bow- manville High School (BHS), where he was a favourite among students and staff. He was also the coach of the school rugby and football teams and was very interested in cadet training. Under his coaching, the BHS rugby team won the Central On- tario Championship in 1940. In June 1942, Mr. Longworth enrolled with the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War, where he trained to be a pilot. He flew a plane called the Hurricane, now the Longworth school’s team name. On Oct. 17, 1942, Officer Longworth was killed. He is buried in Wales. Courage, loyalty, empathy, teamwork and a thirst for knowledge are only a few of his character traits drawn upon by the school. Information supplied by Jessica Buttery, Grade 8 student at Harold Longworth Earl A. Fairman’s name adorns a school to which he once devoted much time and energy: the former Hillcrest Public School. keywordsearch: schoolnamegame Gertrude Colpus was a passionate advocate for the importance of early years’ program- ming. She served on the Oshawa Board of Educcation for 27 years. Harold Longworth’s promising teaching career was cut short by his death during World War II.

June 5 to 11 marks Safe Kids Week, during which the department is encourag- ing parents and caregivers to safe-proof their homes through its Safe Home Safe Play program. ”Every year in Canada more children are hospital- ized or killed from prevent- able injuries than from any other cause,” said Janet Ven- drig, a public health nurse. “These serious injuries can occur throughout the year and in a variety of home and play settings. For young chil- dren, up to the age of six, most injuries occur in and around the home.” To assist parents and care- givers in the detection of dangers, the department, in co-operation with Safe Kids Canada, is distributing a ‘Re- port Card for Safety’. The report card contains information to help reduce injury risks to children, cov- ering topics such as drown- ing, burns, suffocating, poi- son prevention, bike, scooter, and in-line skating safety, falls, child passenger safety, playground, and pedestrian safety. For information regarding the health departments’ Safe Home Safe Play campaign, or to obtain a copy of the Safe Kids Report Card, call 905- 666-6241, 1-800-841-2729 or visit www.region.durham. on.ca Carrier of The Week If you did not receive your News Advertiser/flyers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at (905) 683-5117.

Flip through ‘The Da Vinci Code’ and you’ll find tales of a shadowy society, with ties to the Knights Templar. Big screen blockbuster ‘National Treasure’ paints a picture of a brotherhood that smuggled priceless artifacts into the United States and hid them from the British during the American Revolution, leaving a trail of clues in famous landmarks. Even ‘The Simpsons ‘has spoofed the orga- nization in an episode about the “Stonecutters,” a secret society that rigs Oscar night and tries to keep Atlantis off the map. Thomas Hogg chuckles when he hears these ref- erences. “We are a society that has some secrets, but that doesn’t make us a secret society,” he said. “We’re just a group of men keep- ing a tradition alive.” Seated behind his desk at the Taunton Road Ani- mal Hospital, Dr. Hogg, a longtime Oshawa resi- dent and veterinarian, reflects on 13 years with one of the most misun- derstood organizations in the world. He said his interest in Masonry was peaked randomly one day, after noticing a ring worn by a man who brought a dog into his practice. He asked about it, and the rest is history. Toda y, Dr. Hogg is dis- trict deputy grand master for the Ontario District, which includes 15 lodges -- most in Durham Re- gion. As the district prepares to celebrate 150 years in the community, local Ma- sons are hoping to use the anniversary as a chance to dispel some of the myths. “We want to say ‘here we are, here is what we do,” and let people know we’re just like everyone else,” Dr. Hogg explained. “We do a lot of good in the community.” Freemasons have been around for centuries, in every corner of the globe. The fraternal organiza- tion has its roots in medi- eval Europe, when work- ing stonemasons who built churches and other religious buildings, met at lodges to socialize and share knowledge. Sometime in the 1600s, the membership tran- sitioned from working stonemasons, to a fra- ternity of “speculative” freemasons, brought to- gether by shared beliefs. Members use rituals to develop a deeper under- standing of concepts like brotherly love, honesty and equality. Masons are also involved in char- ity and community work and participate in social activities through the fra- ternity. And just how does one become a Mason? “I’m letting the cat out of the bag here,” joked Dr. Hogg. “But to get in, the most important thing to do is just ask about it.” There are a few other requirements, although they vary from lodge to lodge. Generally, a man who wants to become a Mason must make the decision through his own fee will, believe in a su- preme being, be at least 21-years-old, and in some cases have a reference from a current Mason. While women can’t be Masons, there is a sepa- rate organization open to them called the Order of the Eastern Star. The Central Ontario District currently num- bers about 1,500 Masons, ranging from young men, to a 96-year-old who re- cently received his 75- year pin. To mark 150 years in the community, local Masons are celebrating with a special community project that Dr. Hogg said is close to his heart as a vet. All 15 lodges in the district have been raising funds to purchase see- ing-eye dogs, which will be donated to local resi- dents. So far, they have raised more than $40,000 -- enough for seven dogs. “This will give people their independence, and a companion,” Dr. Hogg noted. “Our original goal was to raise enough for three dogs -- this is just wonderful.” The dogs will be pre- sented to their new own- ers at a special Masonic event called Walk in the Park, on June 17. The public is invited to attend this free family day of food, entertainment, and information about masons. Walk in the Park gets underway at noon at Me- morial Park in Oshawa.

Sitting comfortably atop the rusty con- traption, wielding a handheld radio and shouting instructions, is Michael Robert- son. As owner and instructor at High Per- spectives, a local hang gliding school, it is Mr. Robertson’s responsibility to guide his students through their first attempts at flight. At the other end of the field, securely suspended under a large white glider and attached by a long cord to the winch is his current pupil, Jim Freer. With a signal of readiness from both parties, the winch starts towing the glider forward until it gains flight. Having travelled from his home in the Niagara region to take the lessons, Mr. Freer is on his way to completing the beginners flying course. “It is nice to learn from someone who is passionate about it,” Mr. Freer said. “I would have travelled even further if I had to for this.” It is a line that Mr. Robertson has heard often in his long career as a hang-gliding instructor: students willing to come from all over to learn the skills necessary to operate a glider. Offering instruction to people of all ages, his only requirement is a willingness to try. So sure is Mr. Rob- ertson that everyone will love the feeling of hang gliding, he offers a guarantee: if at 50 feet, the student is still uneasy, he will land the glider and take no payment for the flight. “It is a 50 or free guarantee,” he said with a friendly smile. “I’ve never had to use it.” Sitting inside the High Perspective clubhouse -- a room used both for teach- ing and for relaxing -- Mr. Robertson says working as an instructor has been an incredible experience. “It is beautiful to train people to fly,” he said. Although he has other instructors at the school, Mr. Robertson does a lot of the tandem flights himself. In a year, he flies a glider between 500 to 1,000 times. “There is always something different and special each time,” he said. Although most first-time flyers expect an adrenaline rush, he says that gliding is a meditative experience. “You feel part of the wind. Like you’ve grown wings,” he said. “It is a lifting expe- rience and there is nothing else like it.” Secured in a harness under the glider, you feel “like you’re in your mother’s arms,” he added. Although often associated with run- ning off hills, hang gliding technology has changed over the years. At Mr. Rob- ertson’s school, instructors now use a stationary winch to tow students into the air, thus controlling the height of the first few flights. By staying low to the ground, students can learn the ins and outs of taking off and landing without having to fly with a tandem instructor. Once a glider is up, it is held there by rising air. The trick to staying up in a hang glider is to figure out where the air is going up and then move in that direction. The most common sources of rising air are ridge lift (air hitting a hill or mountain) and thermal lift (hot air rising from the ground). As a hang glider, Mr. Robertson has been involved in many exciting ventures: in 1973, he flew over Parliament Hill and circled the Peace Tower in Ottawa as a protest against land development in his area; in 1988, he launched a hang glider off of the CN Tower for a Diet Pepsi com- mercial; in 1996, he was a stunt double in the movie Fly Away Home; and just last year, he hang glided with a Mexican friend into Buffalo international airport in a glider designed to look like a mon- arch butterfly. But when asked what his favourite moment has been, Mr. Robertson ig- nores his stints of fame and instead picks the lonely, solitary moments he’s spent in the sky with the birds. From the time he soared to 14,000 feet accompanied by two golden eagles, to the time when wild turkey vultures saved him from crashing into the jungle in Venezuela by showing him where the location of the thermal, Mr. Robertson says nothing beats the feeling of soaring in the sky, free as a bird. “I grew up in the Niagara Escarpment and was fascinated with birds,” he said. “I just always dreamt of flying as a kid.” Little did he know that years later not only would he be fulfilling his childhood dream of flying with the birds, but also making a living teaching others how to do the same. “It has been a life-long fascination and a dream of mine to fly,” he said. “Doesn’t everyone dream of flying?” Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Jim Freer takes to the air during a training exercise at High Perspectives, a hang-glid- ing business in north Pickering. Mr. Freer is currently in the midst of completing the beginner’s flying course.

The two don’t always go hand in hand, but when they do, the consequences can be devas- tating for patients wrestling with a system that hasn’t yet learned to accommodate them. In Durham, patients dealing with substance use issues can turn to the Pinewood Centre for help. Those coping with mental health disorders often find themselves at the Whitby Mental Health Centre or the local branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association. But there is nowhere that offers help for both, a reality that sometimes leaves patients bouncing back and forth like ping pong balls. “A client might go to a mental health agency and if they find out that they have a substance issue, they’re told to deal with that, then come back,” said Paul McGary, executive director of Pinewood Centre. “Then when they go to deal with the substance issue, they’re told to deal with the mental health issue. They’re caught in the middle with nowhere to go.” Of those with mental health disorders, it is estimated that 50 to 60 per cent also have substance use issues. On the flip side, about 25 per cent of substance users also have mental health issues. On Thursday, 200 health care and agency professionals from Durham and across On- tario gathered at Tosca Banquet Centre in Oshawa, to discuss new ways of treating con- current disorders -- the clinical term for a dual diagnosis. Dr. Kenneth Minkoff, who is widely regarded as North America’s leading expert on the treat- ment of concurrent disorders, arrived from his home in California to share his thoughts. He is a psychiatrist and assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He believes integration is key. He said both the substance disorder and psychiatric disor- der should be considered primary and treated accordingly. “Dual diagnosis is an expectation, not an exception,” he stressed. “Pinewood can still be for addiction, mental health agencies can still be for mental health, but they could both have integrated treatment available.” That is exactly what local health care provid- ers hope to see happen. Last year, the Concur- rent Disorders Network of Durham Region was formed, bringing hospitals, police, mental health agencies and other stakeholders to the table. During his stop in Durham, Dr. Minkoff met with the network and help them sharpen a vision for integrated treatment in Durham. *Buy one tire, get 2nd 1/2 price or buy 3, get 1-FREE Uniroyal Tiger Paw AS 65 only, instant rebates based on purchase of 4 tires - $20 on Michelin Harmony, LTX m/s, Cross Terrain SUV ($5.00 per tire). $40 instant rebate on Uniroyal Cross Country SUV ($10 per tire) & all Uniroyal Touring HR ($15.00 per tire).

The Pickering High School Ju- nior Jazz Ensemble took the stage in Ottawa earlier this month for Mu- sicFest Canada. “We performed at, like, 10 o’clock at night so we didn’t have a very big audience,” says band member and alto saxophonist Nick Denis. Maybe a small audience put less pressure on the band, but more likely, its fine playing would have won over the festival adjudicators at any time of the day or night. The Grade 9 ensemble achieved the gold standard, the highest score at- tainable, performing tunes includ- ing ‘As I Look at You’ by Les Aldrich and Duke Ellington’s ‘It Don’t Mean a Thing if it Ain’t got that Swing.’ The band made it to the nation- als courtesy of an earlier gold per- formance, at the Southern Ontario Band Festival, held late this past winter at O’Neill Collegiate and Vo- cational Institute in Oshawa. The adjudicators liked what they heard in Oshawa, giving the PHS band the nod to advance to the nationals. “It’s not like first, second or third place,” explains band member and bassist Samantha Park. “You just get a rating on your performance.” She’s played bass for three years and guitar since Grade 4. Park says she wasn’t a jazz fan before, but since joining the band has warmed up to the music -- to the detriment of her father’s music collection. “I raided his collection of CDs,” she says. Park “wants to get into music more” in the future, but not as a career. Her tastes range from The Brian Setzer Orchestra, to the Red Hot Chili Peppers to the Beatles. She was amazed to learn that fel- low bandmate Kimberly Lawrence, a tenor saxophonist, had only been playing the instrument since Sep- tember, high-fiving her to offer con- gratulations. “I think that you should try jazz band,” Lawrence advises her peers. “It’s really fun; a cool experience.” She enjoys listening to all kinds of music, preferring instrumental jazz. Lawrence plans to continue work- ing on her music. “I want it to be one of my careers,” she says. “I want to produce music and become a music teacher.” Denis has played alto sax for two- and-a-half years and listens mainly to classic and modern rock. As part of MusicFest, after the band’s per- formance, the members retreated to the adjudication room where an expert musician critiqued their per- formance for half an hour, paying particular attention to Denis. “A bout 20 minutes was spent on one of my solos, how I could im- prove it,” Denis notes. The students had high praise for their music teacher, David Ko- surko. “We couldn’t have got this far without our music teacher,” Park says, noting Kosurko “tries to chal- lenge us.” “He’s always enthusiastic,” adds Denis. Kosurko returned the compli- ments, saying the students are a pleasure to work with. He notes the students come from excellent music programs at Frenchman’s Bay and Alexander Graham Bell public schools, which gives them a headstart on high school music. “When they go to festivals, that’s where their education really takes off,” he says. Also at MusicFest, the Ajax-based Random Notes (Young Singers) struck gold in the Choral/Vocal Jazz division.

Hosted June 2 to 4 at the Pickering Athletic Centre in the west end of the city after several years at the Pickering Recreation Complex, the Rainbow Clas- sic is in its 12th year of high-level competition among pro- vincial- and national- level gym- nasts in On- tario. For To wers, of Pickering, a provincial champion in her age group last month, she’s a little nervous about competing, but not for the reasons one might think. The 13-year-old’s looking for- ward to performing in front of family and friends in her home gym. In some ways, she finds it easier and comforting to have support on hand. “I’m very excited about it. It’s a fun meet and it just gives us a chance to try out new skills. We can have family and friends out to watch us. I think it’s easier (to compete in your home facility) because we’re more familiar with the surroundings,” says Towers, who’s competed in the Rainbow Classic for the past five years. Where the nervousness creeps in, she says, is attempting to duplicate her strong, first-place performance at the provincials. Having won there “definitely gives me more confidence, but I’m a bit more nervous too,” she says. “I did so well there that people expect me to have a good day here too.” Pickering Athletic Centre head coach Andrew Taylor says the club is looking to Towers to per- form well, along with Alexandra Clayton, who was second behind To wers at provincials. “It will be a toss-up between those two,” says Taylor, who’s looking for all his provincial- level gymnasts to have solid per- formances. The 2006 edition of the clas- sic brings together more than 500 athletes from 20 gymnastics clubs. The Pickering Athletic Centre will have more than 50 of its ath- letes at the meet. The competition starts as young as age five, who’ll com- pete in the Ontario Development Program, which doesn’t score performances. The highest level is the national stream, which will include Pickering Athletic Cen- tre’s Tara Swami. New this year is the inclusion of the Les Reflexes club from Montreal, which will bring ap- proximately 20 athletes. Pickering Athletic Centre owner Laurie Large notes orga- nizers have arranged a special schedule for the Montreal club to complete their performances late Friday and early Saturday, leaving Sunday for sightseeing and for their long journey back to Quebec. “Our club went to New York a couple of years ago and they worked the schedule around us and we really appreciated it,” says Large. Competition gets underway Friday morning and continues until approximately 7:30 p.m., with the same schedule on Sat- urday. On Sunday, the competition ends at 6:30 p.m. The centre is at Kingston and Dixie roads. A.J. Groen / News Advertiser photo Katie Towers from the Pickering Athletic Centre works on her uneven bars routine on Monday in preparation for the upcoming Rainbow Classic gymnas- tic meet to be hosted at the club. More than 500 gymnasts and 20 clubs are expected. Ajax Lions midgets roar to bronze at Ontario Cup of basketball AJAX — The Ajax Lions’ midget basketball team was bronzed at the 2006 Ontario Cup tournament in Ottawa recently. The Lions competed in Division 2 in the midget category (under-15) at the Ontario Cup, which featured 16 of the best teams in the province. Ajax locked up the bronze medal by scoring a 62-50 victory over the Mississauga Marauders. Following the game, Lions’ Adam Plummer was the recipient of the Basketball Ontario Toronto Raptors Fair Play Award. In the semifinal, the Lions dropped a tough 60-52 decision to London Orion. The Lions had led by five points at the half and by 10 early in the third quarter. The Lions posted a 63-42 victory over the Oakville Vytis in the quar- ter-final game. In round-robin play, the Lions got out of the gate quickly with a 41- 39 victory over the Kingston Run- nin’ Rebels. In Game 2, the Ajacians prevailed over the JAMBA Cats of To ronto 52-47. In the third game the Lions suffered a 51-36 loss to the Ancaster Magic. The loss meant the Lions fell into a three-way tie for first with Kings- ton and Ancaster. Ajax, however, received first place using a points- against tiebreaking formula. London Orion was the eventual gold medallist, with Kitchener-Wa- terloo’s YBA Vipers earning silver. Ajax Lions team members are Tim Russell, Plummer, Sheldon Brown, Damal Donaldson, Adi Date, Andrew Aborca, Adam Red- path, Jadeem Daley, Rob Tavone Jr., Austin Giuntoli, and Ryan Brown. Rudy Brooker coaches the team, as- sisted by Rob Tavone. The manager is Tom Brown. Emily Towers Get Rogers Home Phone and Personal TV for $50 a month.

Mary junior girls finish season with crowning glory Monarchs beat Pickering High in LOSSA ‘AAAA’ soccer final PICKERING — The St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs junior girls’ soccer team may have started the season slowly, but put it all together when it mattered most. The Monarchs finished with a flourish to capture the Lake Ontario Sec- ondary School Athletics (LOSSA) ‘AAAA’ soccer championships in Oshawa Monday afternoon. After an extremely hard-fought battle, St. Mary won its seventh consecutive game by scoring a 4-2 victory over Ajax’s Pickering High School Trojans in the final. Shelby Forza led the way for the Monarchs with a three-goal performance. Sara King notched the other. Kristin Orrett scored both goals for the Trojans. St. Mary juniors scored a 3-1 victory over the top- seeded Sinclair Secondary School Celtics of Whitby in the semifinal contest on Monday morning. Laura Ta glioni, Jessica Moy and Kayla Schroeder scored; Christine Velasco replied for Sinclair. St. Mary coach Melanie Cayford says the LOSSA title represented a season of teamwork, persever- ance and enthusiasm that allowed the Monarchs to overcome a slow start, not to mention their relative inexperience on the soc- cer pitch as only five of 18 players returned this sea- son. “We may have started out a little shaky, but as the season progressed, the girls began to truly work together as a powerful unit at all levels -- from strikers to goalkeepers,” says Cay- ford, who was joined on the sidelines by co-coach Franck Jussaume this sea- son. “We fought for all our w ins, gaining momentum with every victory, and I nicknamed the juniors ‘the little team that could’ -- slow to start, but they defi- nitely got the job done. It’s been a great pleasure to coach this group of young ladies, and I couldn’t be prouder of this unexpected accomplishment.” The St. Mary juniors fin- ished the season with an overall record of 8-2-4. The St. Mary senior girls’ soccer team, which enjoyed an undefeated regular season, couldn’t translate that success in the playoffs. In a hard-fought ‘AAAA’ semifinal contest against Ajax’s Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cougars last week, the Monarchs dropped a heartbreaking 1-0 decision in a shootout.
