RESIDENTS SHOULD BE WARY BUT NOT AFRAID, SAYS WHITE Te rrorism accused held overnight in Pickering By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — This past weekend’s ar- rest of several GTA men suspected of plotting terrorist attacks highlights the importance of co-operation among law enforcement agencies and the intel- ligence community, says Durham Re- gional Police Chief Vernon White. And the chief said that while Durham residents will be shaken by revelations of alleged terrorist activity in their midst, they shouldn’t succumb to fear or para- noia. “I think the public should be a little nervous -- that’s natural -- but at the same time they should not be afraid,” the chief said in the wake of the arrest of 17 suspects described by police as members of a Muslim terrorist cell who attempted to buy bomb-making materi- al in preparation for a campaign of terror in south- ern Ontario. “I think Dur- ham residents recognize our proximity to the U.S., our proximity to To ronto, and the fact we have a few high- risk targets that could be seen in this area.” Durham police were involved along with other municipal forces, the RCMP and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) in the dramatic events of the weekend. Suspects snatched up in raids in Toronto and Mississauga were transported to a heavily-guarded police station in Pickering for processing Fri- day night. Durham vehicles transported the suspects to a Brampton courthouse Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Durham Regional Police’s Ajax-Pickering community office at Brock and Kingston roads was under heavy security Friday night and Saturday morning after a number of men accused of terrorist-related offences were held there while awaiting a court appearance in Brampton. Pickering family event undergoes ‘significant growth spurt’ By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — The Frenchman’s Bay Festival celebrates its 15th an- niversary this year with its biggest event ever. Jody Morris, with the City of Pickering, said the weekend family festival has grown since its incep- tion, but in 2006 the growth is quite significant. “This year is probably one of the most significant growth spurts be- cause they’re starting to do program- ming on the street in front of the businesses,” she said. The City helps promote and orga- nize the event with the Frenchman’s Bay Festival Committee. The action kicks off Saturday, June 10 at 10 a.m. with the opening of the midway and runs until Sunday evening. Events are at the foot of Liverpool Road. Ms. Morris said the weekend gives the City an opportu- nity to showcase Pickering’s jewel -- the waterfront -- with an event for the whole family. The popular festival attracts about 10,000 people annually. Popular events such as the sand castle contest and the main stage en- tertainment take place both Saturday and Sunday in the afternoon. Prizes are awarded so don’t forget to bring a pail, shovel and a great idea. En- tertainers on stage include Professor Snape, Dave Trumpeteer, Caribana Dancers, Zahra’s Belly Dancers and a flutist. The Frenchman’s Bay Idol compe- tition is Saturday at 4 p.m. for con- testants aged eight and older.

Durham Regional Police Sergeant Paul McCurbin said Monday morning that there had not been any reported in- stances of vandalism targeting mosques or other sites following the stunning news that 12 adults and five young of- fenders had been arrested on allegations they planned to launch a bombing cam- paign in southern Ontario. A Rexdale mosque sustained extensive damage over the weekend, according to media reports. Following the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, sites associated with the Muslim community throughout the GTA were damaged. “It’s under control and we’d like to keep it that way,” Sgt. McCurbin said Monday. “We’re obviously asking our citizens not to victimize an entire com- munity for the actions of a few.” Chief Vernon White, Deputy Chief Chuck Mercier and local community in- spectors met with members of the Mus- lim community over the weekend, Sgt. McCurbin said.

The Ontario Realty Corporation conducted the class EA in prepara- tion of transferring privately-owned land on the Oak Ridges Moraine in Richmond Hill for provincially- owned land in Seaton in Pickering. Following the completion of the EA in January, 16 individuals and groups requested that the minister bump up the EA to an ‘individual EA’, which is much more detailed. Pamela Fuselli, who lives in the af- fected area, sent a request on behalf of herself and Heritage Pickering, which she chairs. “We thought it was important. If we’ve waited this long to do the land transfer and to develop this land, why not take the time to do it right?” she said. “The bump up to an individual EA would ensure that happens.” She has yet to receive a letter, dated May 29, addressed to her from Minis- ter of Environment Laurel Broten, which the News Advertiser received a copy of from Ward 1 Regional Coun- cillor Maurice Brenner. The letter states that “an individual environ- mental assessment is not required. “The issues and concerns raised by yourself and other bump-up request- ers were extensively reviewed. I am satisfied that the issues and concerns have been addressed by the work car- ried out by ORC, or will be addressed in future work that is required to be carried out. “A number of the comments... ap- pear to be based on the argument that the Class EA should have con- ✦ See Pickering, Page A2 PICKERING — Durham police have arrested more than 100 people and seized five guns in a crime sweep targeting gangs, known criminals and parole violators. Cops also took an estimated $25,000 worth of drugs off the streets of Ajax and Pickering during Opera- tion G RYDE, launched to investigate a large number of muggings and other crime. ✦ See Variety, Page A4 Guns, drugs and 100 arrests in Pickering sting For more on this story sidered the future development of the Seaton lands. The proposed undertaking has been clearly identified as the acqui- sition of land in Richmond Hill and the severance and sale or disposal of lands in Seaton. As stated earlier, approval of the undertaking will not grant any approval for new uses of the lands.” Bryan Kozman, director of the North Pickering Land Exchange Te am, confirmed the minister de- cided there was no need for an indi- vidual EA. “O RC is now able to proceed with the disposal of the Seaton lands and acquisition of land in Richmond Hill,” he said. He couldn’t give an exact day. “I expect it will happen shortly,” Mr. Kozman said. Ms. Fuselli said the issue of heri- tage hasn’t been adequately ad- dressed by the Province in its plan- ning for Seaton. “That’s very disappointing news that they haven’t approved the bump up,” she said. David Steele was also disappoint- ed, but not surprised. He also sub- mitted a bump-up request on behalf of himself and 3,500 citizens who signed a petition. “I’ve said this all along. It was part of the land swap,” he said. “The bot- tom line is the class C did not look at the impact of the urban develop- ment on the natural environment... It studied the impact of the land exchange.” He hasn’t received an official letter denying his request. Mr. Steele contends the wetlands w ill be destroyed, the cold water creeks will dry up, and the wildlife and fish will die because of the de- velopment for up to 70,000 people that the Liberal government has ap- proved through the Central Pickering Development Plan. “We had a chance to do it right and what we have now is another urban sprawl with no protection for the natural environment,” he said. “But, it’s not over until it’s over.” There is still an outstanding legal challenge by a developer with land in the area about the way the Province came up with the development plan. While councillors received a copy of a letter to David Caplan, minis- ter of public infrastructure renewal, from Ms. Broten, indicating a bump up is not required (and a copy of the letter to Ms. Fuselli), the City has yet to receive an official response to its request for a bump up. */463"/$&'*/"/$*"- '*345%63)".

This isn’t the first time Durham cops have worked in con- junction with other forces — just a few weeks ago heavily-armed Durham offi- cers helped in a highly-publicized move against suspected gang members in To- ronto — but it was the most prominent. Chief White said it’s part of the Durham service’s mandate to work on multi-jurisdic- tional enforce- ment efforts in order to keep this region safe for its residents. “This is not a new thing for us,” he said. “We have to be a player. We have to be part of all these investigations ... I know we have cells of terrorists in the country that are active and inactive.” While acknowledging the emergence of these cells will be unnerving for peo- ple, the chief noted that Canada’s police and spy agency are aggressively working to reveal suspects and plots. He urged people to view the suspects as people accused of criminal activity, rather than religious radicals. “This is not about religion. It really wasn’t about culture,” Chief White said. Vernon White ✦ Pickering from page A1 Pickering residents voice disappointment with decision QUARTERLY UPDATE TO THE PICKERING COMMUNITY My name is Tom Mitchell, Senior Vice President at the Pickering B Nuclear Station. At Pickering Nuclear, and throughout Ontario Power Generation, we are dedicated to reaching and maintaining top performance – especially in the areas of electricity production, safety, environmental protection and community citizenship. OPG’s Pickering A, Pickering B, and Darlington Nuclear stations produced about 32% of the electricity used by Ontario during the first quarter. Our nuclear production was about 6% higher than for the same period last year. OPG’s nuclear stations produce electricity at a regulated price of 4.95 cents per kilowatt hour – which helps moderate the price that consumers pay. We are proud of our contribution to serving Ontario’s power needs. I am pleased to give you this update on our performance at Pickering Nuclear during the first quarter of 2006. Tom Mitchell,Senior Vice President, Pickering B Nuclear Station DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2006: 4 Pickering Nuclear produced 5.5 terawatt hours of electricity, about 15% higher than for the first quarter of 2005. Our production fulfilled about 14% of Ontario’s electricity needs. 4 The Pickering A generating station achieved a unit capability factor of 91%. Unit capability factor reflects the percentage of time the station was available to make electricity. Pickering A Unit 1, which was returned to service last November, achieved an outstanding unit capability factor of 96%. 4 Pickering B Unit 8 entered a planned maintenance outage in March that will continue through the Spring. We plan to have all of our units on line during the summer, which is when the highest demands for electricity occur. Pickering B’s capability factor during the first quarter was 79%. 4 Pickering Nuclear, along with Darlington Nuclear, was happy to host about 4,500 local residents at our March Break activities. 4 Our stations were also proud to be nominated in two categories of the 2006 Durham Environmental Advisory Committee achievement awards; and we were pleased to be part of the team of community partners receiving an award for the annual Durham Children’s Groundwater Festival.

Mr. Lovewell, Big Sister Lindsay King, and in-school mentor Justin Kelly were recognized for their con- tributions to the lives of youngsters during a Big Brothers and Sisters of Ajax-Pickering awards ceremony May 30. “Bob has been and will continue to be a huge positive influence in my life,” said Dustin. He was only seven years old when he partnered with Mr. Lovewell through the Big Brothers program. Along with playing video games and golf, going to sporting events and attending church activities, Mr. Lovewell also listens and provides encouragement for Dustin’s school and career planning. “He taught Dustin flexibility and openness,” said Lana Kaupp, Dustin’s mother. The award presentation was kept secret from Mr. Lovewell, who said he was surprised to be chosen Big Brother of the Year. Mr. Lovewell said hanging out with Dustin is like hanging out with his friends. “You never really realize what (the partnership) is going to develop into when you start,” he said. Amanda McCoy and her Big Sister also have a close relationship. Cho- sen as this year’s Big Sister of the Year Award, Ms. King has been partnered with Amanda for a few years now. “Basically, Amanda’s like the sister I never had,” said Ms. King. “We hang out and we get along very well.” With shared interests, particularly around horses, the pair sometimes gets together more than once a week. “She’s like my family,” said Aman- da, who has two brothers and no sisters. Ms. King said Amanda is a part of her family now and is involved with her family occasions. “Now she’s growing up,” said Ms. King, referring to Amanda’s move from elementary to high school dur- ing their time together. For Ricky Taylor and his mentor, Mr. Kelly, the time they spend to- gether occurs in school. Through the in-school mentor pro- gram, Mr. Kelly meets Ricky for one hour a week, where they play sports and log on the computer and talk to each other. “Justin’s kind of like a brother,” said Ricky. During the award presentation, Ricky said if he’s having a bad day, Mr. Kelly cheers him up and encour- ages him not to be so hard on him- self. “Justin goes out of his way to make our time together more enjoyable,” said Ricky. “He demonstrates the true quality of what a mentor should be.” Ricky is now in Grade 6 and has been paired with Justin since Grade 2. “It’s something that I do just to kind of pay back some of the people that helped me when I was young,” said Mr. Kelly. Sharlene Melnike, director of Big Brothers and Sisters of Ajax- Pickering, said pairing is done based on the personal interests of kids and adults. “O ne of the factors is that a child wants a mentor in their life,” she said. She said many of the little brothers and sisters come from single-par- ent homes or want more one-on-one time with someone older.

Takes 16.08 hours to build vehicle DURHAM — The case for saving the General Motors car plant no. 2 in Oshawa has just become stronger. According to a report released by Harbour Consulting, the Oshawa as- sembly plant, which is set to close in 2008, is the second best in North America in terms of productivity, with 16.08 hours spent per vehicle. Leading the ratings was Ford’s At- lanta plant, which set the benchmark for labour productivity with a measure of 15.37 hours per vehicle. Despite declining volume, General Motors dominated the ratings, with five of its plants voted among the best 10 assembly plants in North America for productivity, including Oshawa car plant no. 1, which ranked seventh at 17.91 hours per vehicle. The report also shows that the productivity gap is slowing -- driven mainly by quality advances, as manu- facturers are getting more from their workforce and their capital invest- ments. Whereas in 1998, the difference be- tween the most and least productive in terms of total labour hours per ve- hicle was 16.56, the number now rests at 7.33 hours per vehicle (including assembly, stamping, and Powertrain).

The trucker was apparently cut off. There were no injuries. By Alistair Lowe Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — After crossing 34 countries on four continents and raising $26 mil- lion, one could argue that Rick Han- sen has done his bit for spinal cord research. That’s where Ajax resident Jenny Schledermann comes in. She took no- tice when, in June 2003, the Rick Hansen Wheels in Motion fundraising event was initiated. Canadians in every province and territory, including in Ajax, walked, skated, ran, biked, and wheeled in order to raise funds and awareness for those living with spinal cord injuries (SCI). Ms. Schledermann, who has a child with a spinal cord injury, decided to organize volunteers to help promote the event throughout the area. “Last year we had more than 80 par- ticipants and raised $4,500,” said Ms. Schledermann. Fifty per cent of the money raised in each community stays in the commu- nity, helping to improve the quality of life for those with SCIs. The other half is directed towards research to find a cure, which could be as little as 10 years away according to researchers. This year’s event is at Rotary Park in Ajax on June 11. Registration is at 8:30 a.m. with a 10 a.m. start time. A wheel- chair challenge team will be attending to take on anyone that wishes to give a wheelchair a spin. “I tried it and there’s no way,” chuck- led Ms. Schledermann. “It’s definitely not as easy as it looks.” Nor is raising $3.6 million to date, Canada-wide, for Wheels in Motion. “New breakthroughs and discoveries leading to a cure are imminent,” states the Man in Motion website. There is still time to register individu- ally or as a team for the Ajax event.

The study will investigate existing and future traffic conditions, the safety and operational performance throughout the study area, and will review the need for: capacity improvements including road widening; improvements to operations at intersections (traffic lights, turning lanes, etc.); and improvements to water drainage infrastructure. The study will also establish design alternatives for the East Duffins Creek Bridge, Stevenson Creek Culvert and 12 other culverts. THE PROCESS This study will follow the approved environmental planning process for Group “B” projects under the Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000), with the opportunity for public input throughout the study. Upon completion of the study, a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be completed and made available for a 30-day public review period. The TESR public review period will be announced in local newspapers. PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE Two Public Information Centres (PICs) will be held during the study. The first PIC has been arranged to allow members of the public and residents an opportunity to review the alternatives under consideration and to discuss the project with the project team. Notices providing the time and location for the next PIC will be published in local newspapers, and sent to persons on the project mailing list. You are encouraged to attend the PICs and to provide us with your comments so they can be addressed as the project progresses.

PAGE A6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ June 7, 2006P Challenges await those on the links and young people I t’s my birthday today. Forty-six. What to do? How to make this day memorable? I suppose I could go out to a bar and do the “lap dance” thing like so many other males my age, but as I get older I find that idea more and more tiresome and, frankly, the fellows don’t tip like they used to. It occurs to me, as I look at those two digits, the 4 and the 6, that I am very likely on the “back nine” of my life. An interesting, if not a little scary, thought. Man, those first holes went by in a flash. In fact, it’s dawning on me lately, that this is not a particularly long course we’re all playing. Not in the least. Yo u don’t even really need a cart. Some things to ponder from this particular tee. I’d like to think my game’s get- ting better. I certainly hope it is. I hope I’m not the duffer, now, that I was back in that sand trap in high school. And I hope I learned at least something while whack- ing my way out of the rough of my early twenties. Ye s, I’d like to think I’m a better player now than when I first picked the clubs up, mainly because people are watching. Important people. My own kids are them- selves just teeing off. They can see the old man humping it from flag to flag. They know when I’m in trou- ble, when I’m up against it. They’ve seen me cussing and throwing my irons. They also see, very clearly, how I handle the easy shots and how I treat those I’m playing with. In some ways I’m glad they weren’t around to see most of my first nine. The course scared me a lit- tle bit back then. I don’t want to play with fear any more. That’s a waste of very pre- cious time. Like I said, this is a very short 18, so don’t save all the fun for the clubhouse. I want my kids to see me having fun, more and more fun with every hole. I want them to understand that that is all it is, or ever was, about. Fun. This is, after all, a game. I want them to see their Dad laughing harder and harder with every stroke. I want them to hear me chuckling even when all they can see is the sand I’m kick- ing up from whatever bunker I happen to be in at the time. I want them to love the game as I am learning to love it. To o many of us spend too much time yelling back warnings to our kids, scaring the hell out of them. “Watch out for that water hazard on the third!”, “That green on the second is tricky. Don’t get cocky!” and “For God’s sake wash your balls!” I don’t think all of our shouting helps them much. They hear laughter much better anyway. Why not just let them play? Let them see you wav- ing them on with confidence and a gleam in your eye. Maybe that’s what I should be doing on this birthday. Not wondering what my kids will be giving me, but what I have been giving them. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

Durham no place for anti-Muslim bigotry Those who would harm us not representative of larger community It’s not every day an event with a Durham Region connection is a front-page story around the world. But news that 17 terrorist suspects were being held overnight at the Ajax-Pickering detachment of the Durham Regional Police Service last Friday was enough to give every Canadian pause. The suspects were picked up after a massive two-year-long investi- gation. In addition to 12 adults there are five others who are under the age of 18 and who cannot be identified under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Among the evidence presented by police was that the suspects had access to three tonnes of ammonium nitrate, three times the amount of ammonium nitrate which killed 168 people in the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. A couple of points are important to remember. As in all cases, the suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. These suspects are all charged under the Criminal Code of Canada, and unlike some others who have been shipped off to foreign lands to be dealt with under shady provisions of international law, those detained in this situation will get their proper day in court. The second point is that none of the suspects are Durham Region residents. Having said that, these charges are extremely serious, with the investigation involving some 400 officers from various forces and the impact of the operation of international significance. While little has yet been revealed regarding targets, timing, and tac- tics of this alleged terrorist group, the possibility of Toronto-area sites for destruction cannot be dismissed. The wider problem of terrorist threats in our midst has the potential to lead to racial profiling and a backlash which some would use as an excuse to spread anti-Muslim propaganda and bigotry. It must be remembered that those who would choose to create ter- ror among us are a tiny proportion of the much larger Muslim com- munity. The chance to sow dissension regarding immigration policies and an attack on visible minorities in Canada should be resisted by all Canadians in the wake of these arrests. Reports of vandalism at one GTA mosque following the arrests are depressing and hopefully those perpetrators will be found and charged. Above all else, we must not allow our open and democratic way of life to be tainted by threats of terrorism. We must be vigilant, yes, but we must also hold true to our ideals as a multicultural society, to being a country that welcomes all races and colours to our shores. If we change who we are, then the terrorists will have won. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR GTMA a benefit to Durham Region To the editor: Re: ‘New marketing pro- gram will bring investment here,’ editorial, May 26. As the Durham Region rep- resentative on the board of the Greater Toronto Market- ing Alliance (GTMA), I think it is important to correct com- ments that Durham council has decided to stop funding the GTMA after 2006. In fact, Durham council only decided that it would review whether to enter into a multi-year ser- vice agreement in 2007. The GTMA’s mandate is to internationally market the GTA, of which Durham Re- gion is an important partner. The GTMA has provided Dur- ham with business develop- ment opportunities and intro- ductions to prospective inves- tors that we would otherwise not have been exposed to. For example, Mayor John Gray of Oshawa recently participated in the GTMA’s business mis- sion to Australia in order to pursue an Australian devel- oper. The GTMA also works closely with Durham econom- ic development staff to de- velop joint programs targeted at attracting investment from the automotive, advanced manufacturing and the ener- gy and environment sectors. In addition to the programs being done in partnership with the GTMA, the Region has formed a local alliance to market its “emerging power” brand. There’s a need to pro- mote Durham on a number of fronts; this should not be an “either-or” scenario. The GTMA does have a number of supporters in Durham Region, including the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade, the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Ontario Power Generation and Enbridge Gas Distribution, to name a few. These organizations believe in the value of working col- laboratively and leveraging resources in order to compete globally. Securing international in- vestment is more of a mara- thon than a sprint. It would be to Durham’s advantage to stay in the race as part of a larger regional initiative. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish GTMA Director Councillor picks spots when it comes to trips To the editor: Re: Valuable or a waste? Committee debates Region’s European trip, May 28. So, Councillor Brian Nichol- son is upset that three regional councillors, one from Oshawa, and regional employees went to Europe to study alternative solutions for our expanding waste disposal problem. His comment was, “I have a 10.5 per cent increase in my regional taxes and we are sending people on a trip to Scandinavia.” Personally, from what I have heard, this trip was worth every penny, not like the trip that Coun. Nicholson took to Thailand a number of years ago. And what did Coun. Nicholson bring back from his Asia “vacation” at taxpayers’ expense?

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.

DAILY NEWSCAST @ www.durhamregion.com Contest sponsored by John Henry Offi ce Products & Services johnhenryops.com Shannan Crowder scaling Fuji in fundraising initiative By Marva Palmer Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — As most Ca- nadians are celebrating Canada Day this July 1, Shannan Crowder will be climbing Mount Fuji, The 25-year-old is climbing Ja- pan’s highest mountain, all 3,776 metres (12,388 feet) of it, to raise money for the AIDS Committee of Durham Region. “I decided that climbing Fuji would be an excellent opportu- nity to raise money for AIDS and bring awareness,” Ms. Crowder said in an e-mail interview. Originally from Pickering and also a one-time Whitby resi- dent, she now teaches English in Changwan, five hours outside of Seoul, South Korea. She begins her climb from the first station. “Most climbers start at the fifth station, which is about halfway up the mountain,” she said. “The climb is expected to take a couple of days.” While attending university in Ottawa, Ms. Crowder met people living with AIDS who shared their experience with her. “Their bravery and insight was nothing short of inspirational,” she says. Ms. Crowder’s interest in mountain climbing was peaked when she moved to South Korea. She says “so many Koreans take such pride in their health, their environment and mountain climbing.” To prepare, she has been work- ing out at the gym and climbing mountains with her friends on the weekends. Peter Richtig, executive direc- tor of the AIDS Committee of Dur- ham Region, received a unique message from Ms. Crowder. “She e-mailed me from South Korea and said she’s going to Japan and she’d really like to do this as a fundraiser for our orga- nization,” he said. The AIDS Committee of Dur- ham Region is a not-for-profit or- ganization, serving people who are infected and affected by HIV- AIDS. “We provide food bank, fi- nancial assistance, drivers to get people to medical appointments -- pretty well anything we can do to make lives of people a little bit easier,” said Mr. Richtig. Mr. Richtig said the diagnosis of HIV-AIDS in Durham jumped 40 per cent between 2002 and 2004. The AIDS Committee of Dur- ham receives funding from the provincial government, the Unit- ed Church of Canada, and other faith-based groups. The organi- zation holds fundraising activi- ties, including the annual AIDS Walk Durham. Mr. Richtig said until July 1, all funds donated via the AIDS Committee of Durham Region’s website will be credited to the Mount Fuji climb. The organiza- tion will use some of the money to support a twin project in Puer- to Vallarta, Mexico. “Puerto Vallarta is a very pop- ular vacation place for Canadi- ans in the wintertime,” he notes. “After Mexicans, there are more Canadians than anyone.” Pickering native mounts huge campaign for AIDS committee Shannan Crowder, a 25-year-old Pickering native, is climbing Mount Fuji on July 1 as a fundraiser for the AIDS Committee of Durham Region. ‘We wouldn’t have UOIT’ without his leadership By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — Featuring musical and acting performances and cocktails with flashing ice cubes, more than 400 guests bid farewell to a retiring Gary Polonsky at a gala evening this week. Held at Ajax’s Deer Creek Golf and Banquet hall on Monday, the din- ner featured friends and colleagues of the retiring university and college president, who’s credited by many with transforming post- secondary education in Durham Region. “We wouldn’t have the (University of Ontario In- stitute of Technology) if it wasn’t for Gary,” said John Woodward, dean and principal of Durham College’s Whitby Skills Training Centre. “The college would still be a small, bottom-of-the- list college where we were.” Mr. Woodward was at the skills cen- tre when Dr. Polonsky began in 1988 as college president and said he brought with him vision and a new approach to management at the school. From faculty to support staff, Dr. Polonsky empowered employees to do their job, said Mr. Woodward. Working with the retiring president has always been a learning experi- ence, he added. “Seriously, if you’re not learning from Gary, you have a problem, you’re not doing your job,” he said. Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Wayne Arthurs said it has been very good to work with Dr. Polonsky. “His contribution, I think has been invaluable,” said Mr. Arthurs. He said establishing UOIT is certainly the crowning glory of Dr. Polonsky’s ac- complishments. Mr. Arthurs added Dr. Polonsky is a good listener with a million ideas. “O ne only needs to meet with his students and see how they respond to him as well,” said Mr. Arthurs. Naheed Dosani, a third-year biol- ogy student at UOIT, said Dr. Polonsky was more than just a leader at the school. “I never really looked at Gary as a president, I looked at him as a mentor, a teammate,” said Mr. Dosani. He said Dr. Polonsky is the type of president who will walk around the campus and pick up garbage because he loves the school so much. Dr. Polonsky’s wife, Lois, said com- ing to Oshawa to work with Durham College was a great move for her hus- band. “He’s made a tremendous contribu- tion,” said Ms. Polonsky. “When we came here from Winnipeg, he thought he had died and gone to heaven be- cause he was able to do everything he wanted to do which he couldn’t under the government in Manitoba.” Even though he retired as college president in the spring and is getting ready to leave his post as UOIT presi- dent this summer, his wife said he’ll never really retire. Following a musical rehearsal with students before dinner, Dr. Polonsky said he’ll wait until summer to decide which endeavour he’ll pursue next. “This is a night, such a special night -- thank you for being here -- oh yeah, oh baby,” Dr. Polonsky sang, bob- bing his head to the beat while reading a sheet of lyrics in an empty, but soon-to-be-filled dining room. Before heading back to the clatter of mixing and mingling nearby, Dr. Polonsky said he’s ready to retire, but still wants to live a useful life. “I still have lots of energy,” said Dr. Polonsky. “I think I’ll continue to work, maybe not these kinds of hours, maybe a normal 10-hour day.” Get Rogers Home Phone and Personal TV for $50 a month.

Additional services are being added to the college’s Job Connect and Summer Jobs service to make finding work more convenient. Previously only job develop- ment services were available, but now there are three components, resource employment centre, employment prep- aration and job development. “It’s less confusing for the client and it allows us to provide good customer service all the way through,” said Kim Lutes-McKay, manager of community employment resource services at the college. She said the provincially funded Job Connect program has been available for nine years. Before, the services were split with partner locations. Ms. Lutes-McKay said the changes to the Durham College location come through a provincial re- vamping of the program. The first component of the program is a job resource centre, which has no age restriction and allows access to labour market information, help with resume creation and tools, such as printer, fax machine and computer, and employ- ment workshops. The second component is for people between 16 to 24 and deals with employ- ment preparation. It involves attending the resource centre and sitting down with an employment counsellor to work around barriers. The third component is finding a job development placement and helping to advocate a client for employment. “They help get them to the work,” said Ms. Lutes-McKay. The Job Connect program is avail- able at the college’s Simcoe building at its north Oshawa campus. The resource centre is open from 9 to 4 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday. For more information, call 905-721-3093. Service is free and open to the public.

Pickering High boasted a contingent of 28 athletes at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) Track and Field Championships -- the largest track meet in Canada -- at To- ronto’s Etobicoke Centennial Stadium last weekend. The annual meet brought together 2,500 athletes representing 500 schools from across the province for the three-day event.

The team has been unbeaten on the track this season, having won gold at every meet in which they’ve competed, including the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) champion- ships, the Central Ontario Regionals and, finally, OFSAA. Moreover, the team has posted the top time in Canada in the event for Grade 9 athletes of 51.27 seconds.

PA DAYPA DAY HOCKEY CAMPHOCKEY CAMP Sports briefs JUNE 7, 2006 [ Tr ack and field ] Holder two-time All-American at championships PICKERING — A Pickering track and field athlete began the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Outdoor Track and Field Cham- pionships in California last week as just another freshman athlete; she left as a two-time All- American. Nikkita Hold- er, a Dunbarton High School grad in her freshman season with the Missouri Baptist University (St. Louis) Lady Spar- tans women’s track and field team, garnered gold and a bronze medals to help her team capture the overall title at the championships at Fresno, California. As the lead-off runner for the Lady Spartans in the women’s 4-x-100-metre relay, Holder paced Missouri Baptist to the gold medal in 45.87 seconds, finishing in front of Florida Memorial University. Holder’s greatest accomplishment, however, came in the women’s 100m hur- dles where she ran 13.50 to finish with a bronze. Her time met the Canadian stan- dard to qualify for the World Junior Track and Field Championships in Beijing, China from Aug. 15 to 20. She will, however, have to run 13.50 seconds or better be- tween June 1 and July 21 to qualify, based on the IAAF qualifying rules. She will get that opportunity at the Canadian Junior National Track and Field Championships in Sherbrooke, Que. on July 21. In her other event, the 100m, Holder qualified for the final, but got out of the blocks too late and had too much ground to cover, culminating in an eighth-place finish. Holder is leaving MBU in January, transferring to Ohio State University in Columbus, where she will begin an athletic scholarship and compete for the Buckeyes women’s track and field team. [ Equestrian ] Ajax riders top show jumping qualifier AJAX — Ajax Pony Club riders posted solid efforts at Dreamcrest Equestrian Centre last Sunday during the first Central Ontario Region qualifier for the Regional Show Jumping Finals. Selection for the finals are based on scores achieved at this Port Perry meet, hosted by the Uxbridge-Scugog Pony Club, and two other qualifiers, to be hosted by the Ajax club. In the pre-entry division A2 medal class, Mary Reynolds of the Ajax club, riding Spice of Life, captured top spot. In the pre-entry division ‘B’ class, Sarah McDonnell of the Ajax club took Class 1 honours aboard Jalapeno. Mc- Donnell and Jalapeno also won Class 2, with second place going to Jessica Clarke, also of the Ajax club, riding Nata- sha. [ Soccer ] Women’s league raises cash for cancer DURHAM — The Superstar Women Over Thirty (SWOT) soccer program held its inaugural cancer fundraising tournament in Whitby recently. Six teams did their part to battle an illness that has touched so many lives and raised $1,300. Throughout the day, the women’s hunger and thirst were quelled with do- nations of food and drink from a number of area businesses, while companies also donated door prizes. Founded in 2000, SWOT is a pro- gram for women of all soccer skill levels, with games on Sunday mornings during the summer. This year the SWOT program expanded by two teams and continues to attract new players each year while maintaining an enjoyable rec- reational atmosphere that keeps players coming back.

The Rock suffered its second defeat of the season to the Wellington Aces, 9-5 at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex on Friday night. In fact, both defeats this season for Ajax-Pickering (4-2-1) have come at the hands of the Aces. Wellington defeated the Rock 15-7 in Elora back on May 26. After opening the season 4-0, the Rock have gone winless in their last three games. The Rock’s undoing was the first period, with the Aces getting a four- goal jump on the sluggish hosts. The teams played even through the re- maining 40 minutes, with each squad scoring three goals in the second pe- riod and two apiece in the third. Rock leading scorer Mark Craig led the way with three goals; Pat Van Hooser and Chris Parkin added one goal apiece. Assists went to Tim O’Brien and Mike Daley each with two, Parkin, Tony Henderson and Jim Veltman, all with one. On Friday, the Rock travel to Owen Sound to meet the league-leading Woodsmen (5-2-0) for an 8:30 p.m. contest.

United reps beat North Mississauga, Richmond Hill AJAX — The Ajax United Eclipse girls’ under-17 rep soccer team started the 2006 Ontario Youth Soccer League (OYSL) campaign with two victories in the season-opening showcase at Bercy Fields in Scarborough recently. The Eclipse, which is entering its fourth year in the prestigious OYSL, beat North Mississauga 3-1. Sara Batly led the way with two goals; Allysha Chapman added the other. Goalkeepers Jessica Dolhan and Sam Behm provided steady work. Ajax also beat last year’s OYSL champions and longtime rival Rich- mond Hill Raiders. Ajax also recently defeated Rich- mond Hill in a tournament final on goals by Latoya Smith and Devon Reid and were determined to show the victory was more than just luck. The game was the typical hard- nosed style that’s become routine be- tween these two teams. Ajax found a way to win with goals by Cassy Mel- nike and Devon Reid. No score was provided. Ajax plays its home games on the Harwood fields at the Ajax Commu- nity Centre. Times and dates can be found at eteamz.active.com/ajaxunitede- clipse.

She says the upcoming album almost didn’t happen. “Last year I was the lead sing- er in a ska-punk band,” Ortega says while baking cupcakes. “I didn’t want to be a singer- songwriter anymore because I tried so hard for so long and nothing seemed to be happen- ing. But people kept telling me, ‘What are you doing? This isn’t you.’ “People kept pushing and prodding and finally I saw the light,” she adds. “I had to start from scratch again. So start- ing from scratch, it was about dang time I released another album.” Ortega is one of a handful of Durham Region artists per- forming at this week’s North By Northeast (NXNE) Festival in Toronto June 8-10. She says NXNE definitely has its ben- efits. “They’re helpful if you have something going on,” she says. “They’re always fun to play regardless. If you’re a first-time band or musician, it’s good for the purpose of meeting other bands. If you’re using it for the purpose of promoting an album it’s a different ball game.” As for the new album, Ortega teamed up with the producer of her first album, a producer who first heard her music from a cassette recorded off a ghetto blaster. She says she’s grown a lot as a songwriter since then. “It’s nostalgic but it’s also a reference point for my growth as a musician,” Ortega says. “Some people have those little rulers that are attached to the side of their kitchen wall to show how they’ve grown. Here I have my album.” The new record is also being done for a rather altruistic rea- son as well. “I’m not doing it for any other reason than for the peo- ple that made me come back to my own music and really wanted to hear what I do as a solo artist,” she says. “I’m doing it for them. I’m not doing it for any industry purpose at all. It’s made pos- sible through people’s dona- tions because I am poor.” Ortega says she’ll release the record in September and hopes to tour Canada behind it. And while she always loves playing on stage, a support- ing slot last month at Toronto’s Mod Club was a bit of an eye- opener. “It was sold out and I got up there with me and my gui- tar,” she says. “I had to stop and take a breath, ‘Am I living this right now?’ That little mo- ment for me almost bowled me over.” Catch Ortega at The Art Bar, in The Gladstone Hotel, at 1 a.m. on June 8. The hotel is at 1214 Queen St. W. (just east of Dufferin Street). ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT infodurhamregion.com Pickering musician returns to her music submitted photo Af ter putting her singer-songwriter career on hold and fronting a ska-punk band, Lindi Ortega was encour- aged by friends and fans to return to her solo work and has a second album due out later this year.

It has been determined that due to a manufac- turing defect, the aluminium cast pivot joint that connects the base of the saw and the head assembly (containing the blade) may crack under extreme pressure or force causing a potential safety concern. While Canadian Tire is not aware of any incidents causing injury, there have been 13 in which the aluminium cast joint pivot cracked. In four of these instances, the pivot head broke causing the head to detach from the base. Canadian Tire is asking customers to discontinue the use of these products immediately and to return the products to Canadian Tire for a refund. How the unit can be identifi ed: The saws contain a Blue label on the motor housing of the units. Products included in this recall will have one of fi ve Canadian Tire product numbers, 55-6802, 55-6895, 55-6893, 55-6821 or 99-7599, followed by a serial number that begins with the letter ‘W’ (highlighted in White or Yellow). Only those saws containing one of the fi ve product numbers, as well as the letter ‘W’ are included in this recall. w e’ll give you a reason to smile... ...at the Deegan Denture Clinics Full & Partial Dentures Same Day Relines & Repair Soft Liners Implant Dentures BPS® Dentures Complimentary Consultations Michael C.

Many thanks to Dr. Doug LeGallais of LeGal- lais Veterinary Hospital and all his staff for 7 great years of care and friendship. Dr. Doug’s level of compassion, care and expertise were so very valuable to us, and surely Cashmere knew how much love this clinic had for him. In previous years, the care of Dr. Roden and his team at Amherst Veterinary Hospital helped Cashmere battle the odds and survive an illness that would have taken most. We are truly grateful to have had Cashmere in our lives for so many “extra” years thanks to their efforts. It is so difficult to say goodbye - we love you – and we’ll miss you so much.

By Blake Wolfe Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — Rev. Stan Chu Ilo is a man with a mission. Since his childhood, Rev. Ilo has seen first-hand both the ravages of war and the devastating poverty which has af- fected his native country of Nigeria for several decades, which in turn has in- spired his drive to see the continent of Africa restored to its former glory. In addition to his work with the Cath- olic church both in Africa and Canada (he is a priest at St. Therese Catho- lic Church in Courtice), his numerous appearances on television and radio broadcasts in several African countries throughout the late 1990s, as well as newspaper and magazine articles, he has also written three books published in Nigeria, and has just completed his fourth. The local resident has spent the last 10 years researching and writing his new book titled ‘The Face of Africa: Looking Beyond The Shadows’, a look at the problems which the continent faces, as well as the potential solutions involv- ing both African and Western nations. Rev. Ilo’s new book deals with the problems and potential solutions to Africa’s issues using what he calls the “total picture approach model,” a meth- od of looking at the continent and its problems as a whole and identifying the roots of the issue, as opposed to dealing with issues, such as the humanitarian crisis in Darfur, as isolated incidents that demand reactionary responses. “People would see this disaster in Darfur as isolated to Sudanese society,” he said, citing the racial, religious and social issues that the crisis resulted from - issues which can be seen in other conflicts throughout the continent, such as the massacre which took place in Rwanda in 1994. According to Rev. Ilo, part of the problem-solving begins with citizens of Western nations becoming educated about Africa and the issues, resulting in those root causes being addressed by both citizens and governments in a position to provide direct action against the roots of the continent’s problems. “Most of these (current relief) plans address specific problems,” he said, “but real problems re-emerge when they are left unaddressed. (We should be asking) ‘why are they killing each other? Why are they dying of HIV?’ Those are the real questions.” Rev. Ilo has carried several impor- tant memories with him over the years which have fuelled his vision of a peace- ful world. “My memories of childhood are of war,” he said.

The 35 young people, ages 10 to 16, will stage the musical by Frank Loesser June 8 to 11. “They’re getting along very nicely,” said Claude Lavoie, WCT president and show producer. “We’re having a great time and the kids are loving it.” The musical is the story of small- time gamblers and the women in their lives. Nathan Detroit, who has been en- gaged for 14 years, bets his friend, Sky Masterson, that he can’t make the next woman he meets fall in love with him. That woman turns out to be Sarah Brown, a missionary. The bet stands and the fun starts. The play features both saints and sinners and the oldest, permanent floating crap game in New York. The score features classics such as ‘Luck Be A Lady’, ‘Guys and Dolls’ and ‘Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat’. Lavoie said the play is the junior version and is slightly shorter than the full play. Starring are Tara Sarre as Miss Adelaide, Tavia Pererria as Sarah Brown, Alex Harrison as Nathan De- troit and Spencer Jones as Sky Mas- terson. The musical director is Phyllis Al- lison, the director is Tracy Folkes Hanson and the stage manager is Bernadette Sims. The youth group has been work- ing together since September, doing workshops through Christmas on all aspects of theatre, including singing, dancing and technical. In December, the play was cast and rehearsals started in January. Lavoie noted this is the first script- ed play the youth group has done in several years. “To me it’s the start of something better from now on,” he said. Guys and Dolls will be presented June 8, 9 and 10 at 8 p.m. at Whitby Courthouse Theatre. There’s another show June 11 at 2 p.m., a fundraiser for the Durham YWCA. All shows are at Whitby Court- house Theatre in the Centennial Building on Centre Street South. Tickets, $10 per person with chil- dren under 5 admitted free, are available through Lafontaine, 106 Dundas Street W., Whitby, 905-430- 3774. For more information on WCT, go to www.whitbytheatre.org. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Spencer Jones and Tavia Pereira run through one of the fast-paced musical numbers during a rehearsal for the Whitby Courthouse Theatre Youth Group’s production of ‘Guys and Dolls Jr.’, which runs June 8 to 11.
