For the first time, new Canadians are going to be sworn in at a citizen- ship ceremony in the city. “I’m excited about this,” said Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan. Just after he took office, Mayor Ryan asked staff to investigate the possibility of Pickering holding a citizenship court. He said staff had to show Citizenship and Immigra- tion Canada that Pickering was se- rious and committed to holding a ceremony. Mayor Ryan said Pickering’s makeup makes it a good place to hold the ceremony. “Pickering has the most diverse community in Durham, which in- cludes immigrants and new Cana- dians,” he said. Holding a citizenship court is not only something the City is happy about, said Mayor Ryan, but it will Pickering gets its own citizenship court Results are above national and provincial numbers By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — Lifelong learn- ing in Durham is higher than the national average, but lower than Ontario’s in some communities, shows a new Canadian study. With a score of 75.4 on a Com- posite Learning Index recently re- leased by the Canadian Council on Learning, the Oshawa Census Metropolitan Area (CMA), which includes Whitby and Clarington, sits a little lower than the provin- cial average of 75.9 and higher than the country’s 73. Ajax, Pickering and Uxbridge are featured in the To ronto CMA, which scored 76.2. “Overall, the areas are both sim- ilar,” said Chris Boughton, a senior research analyst for the council. He said the study and scores reflect lifelong learning, personal development, how people live to- gether in a community, if learning conditions are favourable to eco- nomic success and more. “The city of Oshawa (CMA) is doing particularly well when it comes to having an educated working age,” said Mr. Boughton. “But where Oshawa appears to not be doing as high is the learning to live together; it’s more to do with social development.” He said the index uses four pil- lars for scoring: learning to know, which looks at literacy and educa- tion; learning to do, for job-related training; learning to live togeth- er, for issues such as volunteer and social club involvement; and learning to be, for sports participa- tion and cultural avenues. “For that city, Oshawa... it’s about average for learning to do and learning to be, but it’s higher than average when it comes to Pickering beats the average on learning QUENTIN’S ONE We’re Name Dropping about community milestones Page 30 Every Monday and Thursday MUSIC FOR THE YOUNG AND OLD ALIKE Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Grade 2 and 3 students in the Frenchman’s Bay Public School Choir recently visited the East Shore Community Centre to entertain a group of seniors. Kierra Barber, Marissa Josephs and Courtney Smith were among the almost 60 young performers. ✦ See Pickering, Page 2 ✦ See A, Page 2 learning to know,” said Mr. Bough- ton. In Oshawa, residents are above national averages for youth read- ing skills, high school dropout rates, attendance in a formal edu- cation system, university attain- ment and spending on the Inter- net. It’s below average for clubs and memberships. The index score is tallied using 16 main indicators, which each include a different weight, said Mr. Boughton. “Toronto is 76.2, which is mar- ginally higher than Oshawa and did about the same in the learning to know,” he said. “It scored slightly higher in the other three pillars.” Other Ontario areas evaluated in- clude Thunder Bay, Sudbury, Ot- tawa-Gatineau, Kitchener, Ham- ilton, London, Windsor and St. Catharines-Niagara. Greater Sudbury scored 66.7, while Ottawa-Gatineau received 84.6. “O ntario’s a huge place so there’s a lot of variations,” said Mr. Boughton. He added he thinks making regional instead of provin- cial comparisons is useful. “It’s a really good resource for people to see how the differ- ent communities in Canada are doing,” said Mr. Boughton. He said the index was created using mostly information from Stats Canada and is the first study of its kind. He said it’s geared toward a large audience and allows people to look at how a particular com- munity is doing, see its strengths and weaknesses and be compared with other municipalities. “This is a starting point,” said Mr. Boughton. “This is an introduction and we’re hoping it will get people to ask a lot of questions and we’re starting to see those questions asked.” The learning council is looking to release the index annually, he added.

Mayor Ryan has been invited to attend a number of those citizenship courts. “They’re really moving experi- ences when you see four- or five- year-olds clutching that Canadian flag or mom and dad with tears in their eyes... It is very moving,” he said. The ceremony will be at the Pickering Civic Complex on the morning of July 1, with Mayor Ryan and members of council watching as some Pickering residents be- come Canadians. This won’t be a one-time event though. “This will be a permanent fix- ture now in Pickering,” Mayor Ryan said. One ceremony will be scheduled each year on Canada Day and pos- sibly one more during the year if needed. Pickering’s regular Canada Day festivities are also scheduled for July 1, including fireworks and enter- tainment at Kinsmen Park. durhamregion.comP PAGE 2 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 9, 2006 PICKERING — Durham police have charged a 14-year-old boy in connection with four incidents in which women were inappro- priately touched by someone who approached them on the streets of Pickering. Investigators got a break after an incident on May 22, in which a 28- year-old woman was grabbed after a male stopped to talk to her in the Strouds Lane - Rosebank Road area. A tip from the public led them to a 14-year-old Pickering boy, who was charged after being interviewed on June 1. Further investigation led police to charge the youth in three other incidents, in which teenaged girls were grabbed in the area of Kings- ton and Whites roads. The boy has been charged with four counts of sexual assault. ✦ Pickering from page 1 ✦ A from page 1 Pickering learns its doing a good job with lifelong learning Teen charged in Pickering sex assaults A permanent fixture for city Path of proposed route a year from being By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — Halfway through a series of Hwy. 407 public informa- tion meetings, questions remain about the path the proposed exten- sion will take. Meetings were held May 30 in Bowmanville and May 31 in Os- hawa, with two more to come this week. Will MacKenzie, a Ministry of Transportation spokesman, said the sessions are intended to highlight the extensive work done during the past year. “The reason we are here with this public information centre (PIC) is to bring people up to date on where we are on the planning for the Hwy. 407 east extension that is to continue the Hwy. 407 from its current terminus at Brock (Road) to Hwy. 35/115,” Mr. MacKenzie said. “The environmen- tal assessment act requires public consultation and we’ve found that this type of public information cen- tre is a very effective way of bring- ing a lot of information to a lot of people.” Display boards showed the pro- cess thus far and where the ministry intends to go from here. “The whole idea is to give people the opportunity to comment on the work that has been done and the work that is to come,” he said. “One of the most common ques- tions that we are getting is where is it going to be,” Mr. MacKenzie said. “We can’t answer that one.” Currently, the ministry has a ten- tative explanation of what the 407 extension will be, a highway and transit way, but as to the specifics of where it will be, Mr. MacKenzie said the process hasn’t gotten to that point. Don Sparks, who lives on Cour- tice Road, south of Taunton Road, attended the meeting hoping to learn how close a proposed route would be to his home. “We are right in the middle of the planning zone for the extension of the joint junction coming in from Holt Road, so we are kind of con- cerned about what is going to hap- pen in our area, how close it is going to be from the homes,” Mr. Sparks said. “We were hoping the maps would be a bit better tonight for the designated plans, but they are not showing us everything we want to hear yet.” Harry Baker said lives fairly close to where he thinks the 407 route will go. He also attended the meeting, curious to see if the route would be revealed. “I don’t think it will hit my prop- erty but it will be fairly close,” Mr. Baker said. According to Mr. MacKenzie, the proposed route will not be deter- mined for a year. “After this round of PIC, we are going to refine the preliminary study area, narrow it down a lot more,” Mr. MacKenzie said. A previous study, which Mr. MacKenzie said was done several years ago, had a preferred align- ment. But that study was never filed and it didn’t go anywhere. “Times have changed and it de- pends on what the study shows now,” Mr. MacKenzie said. The last two meetings are from 4 to 8 p.m. June 7 at the Ajax Com- munity Centre and June 8 at the McKinney Centre in Whitby.

Durham w orkers could be off the job as early as July 17 By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — The challenge of blending four previous union contracts to create a new one for the Durham Region Transit sys- tem could leave the region with- out service as early as July 17. “We are progressing slowly, but we are progressing,” said Ted Galinis, DRT general manager. “We are hope- ful to con- clude this amicably.” On the other hand, Canadian Auto Work- ers (CAW) union local 222 chair- man, John J ohnson, said negotia- tions are not going well at all. Negotiations to create a first collective agreement began on May 23. Both parties came to the bargaining table with extensive proposals. The parties have met on nine days in an attempt to settle the outstanding issues. According to Mr. Johnson, on June 7 a government-appointed conciliation officer was called in and a no-board report was requested by DRT. Mr. Galinis would not confirm that, referring the inquiry to Garth Johns, Dur- ham Region’s commissioner of human resources, who was un- available for comment. “We entered bargaining in good faith to produce an effec- tive and efficient transit system that all taxpayers could be proud of,” Mr. Johnson said. But he explained that by making the request for a no- board report it means DRT can effectively lock the union out at 12:01 a.m., Monday, July 17. “It is OK to ask for a mediator but the no-board report means that as soon as one side asks for it either they can lock us out or we can go on strike,” Mr. Johnson said. “We thought we could work this out together. We were willing to bargain through to Septem- ber.” Mr. Johnson said there are is- sues with seniority rights, vaca- tion time, lieu time and benefits. “It is a challenge for both sides because you have to harmonize wage rates, processes and ben- efits,” Mr. Galinis said. Negotiations resume the week of July 10. “S ervice will continue as scheduled during the course of these negotiations,” Mr. Galinis said. PUBLIC NOTICE DON’T MISS IT!!!!

Norma Boughner-Miniaci lived in subsidized housing for six years while making $30,000 annually as an employee of the Region, Ontario Court Justice Paul Bellefontaine heard Tuesday. Prosecutor Glenn Brotherston said the woman defrauded the Region of more than $44,000 during that time by benefiting from social assistance she wasn’t entitled to. “She clearly knew exactly what she was doing,” Mr. Brotherston said. Court heard Ms. Boughner-Miniaci was a single parent of a child with special needs when she was accepted as a resident in an assisted housing project in 1998. But her status changed in April of the next year when she landed a $30,000 job with the Region, meaning she was no longer entitled to a rent sub- sidy. Ms. Boughner-Miniaci, who has remarried, con- tinued to benefit from her living arrangement until her arrest in June 2005. She was subsequently fired from her job with the Region. Mr. Brotherston pressed for a jail term and a restitution order, noting Ms. Boughner-Miniaci had done a nine-month stint in jail for fraud just before moving into the subsidized unit. “Shortly after completing her sentence for that fraud she commenced the activity that brings her to court today,” he said. Justice Bellefontaine jailed the woman for 12 months and issued a restitution order in the amount of $44,200. 9/5 2!)2#/.$)4)/.%2 )3 3/5.#//, "RINGYOUROLDROOMAIR CONDITIONERTO4HE(OME$EPOT /LDINEF½CIENTROOMAIRCONDITIONERSAREUNCOOL3OBRING USYOUROLDROOM!#UNITANDWE´LLGIVEYOUAGIFTCARD TOUSEONANYTHINGINTHESTORE(OWCOOLISTHAT 7(%. 7(%2% &ROMAM PMTHEWEEKENDSOF*UNE AND &ORMOREINFOVISITKEEPCOOLCA 4HE(OME$EPOT+INGSTON2OAD%AST!JAX (ORIZON5TILITIESWILLGIVEYOU ACOOLGIFTCARD ,IMITOFGIFTCARDSPERHOUSEHOLD Style From New Balance?

And what a group it was, including: a security guard who helped thwart a knife-wielding bank robber; firefighters who received service medals for decades of service; and Tracy MacCharles, vice-chairwoman of the Accessibility Standards Advisory Coun- cil, co-winner of the Access Award for Disability Issues. To top it off, Pat Tranquada, Pickering’s senior of the year, was recognized at a separate and more recent ceremony for his con- tributions to the city. These people, often quietly and humbly, make Pickering the excellent place it is. Young and old, their work can go unnoticed, not because it isn’t important, but because it generally isn’t of the splashy variety. How many of us consider often enough the volunteer work that goes into keeping our watersheds healthy, or the men and women who give time to raising money for the hospital, or the individual who gives up countless hours to keep their neighbourhood park clean? The list is extensive and this essential work allows the rest of us to go on our way and do our thing. The contributions volunteers make also form a base, of sorts, that creates opportunities for others, enriches our lives and makes Pickering the community it is. It can’t be stressed enough that these people are motivated, not by the spotlight, but by the desire to make their community better. In fact, it would be a safe wager that many of them were downright uncomfortable at being feted and honoured as they were. It’s essential, however, that we recognize these people, shy as they might be, for their valuable work. They are amazing, they are inspiring, and they motivate us to similarly do good works to enrich Pickering. Seaton an opportunity for innovation To the editor: It is disappointing to see Pickering council so trapped in 50-year-old planning practices that it is trying to destroy the Province’s widely acclaimed greenbelt in the GTA. It sees no value in the fertile land that is in such short supply, but only in sustaining sprawl with its smog, gridlock and social problems. Pickering still has an enormous asset, which our neighbours Markham, Ajax and Whitby do not, of smaller tracts of land on which to grow healthy food. Pickering can help in building Seaton. The community has been on the drawing board for more than 30 years. It was by public interest and work that we were able to reduce the original plan of the Province for a city of 250,000 people. The new com- munity is now slated for 70,000 people over 30 years. It must be a live-work town, pedestrian friendly and use innovative methods of building, heating and water supply. Public transportation must go in as the town is built, not too little or too late. Pickering council is trying to convince us that its growth management study, pushing for more urbanization into the agricultural preserve, is more ecologically sound than the Prov- ince’s plan drawn up by a team of Canada’s most experienced planners. Nothing is perfect, but give us the plan worked on for years by the Province and people together, who have no vested interests, but only the desire to see something new and innova- tive, which will make Pickering a model community for the 21st century. We do not need the agricultural lands urbanized in addition to the new community of Seaton in north Pickering.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS durhamregion.com P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JUNE 9, 2006 durhamregion.com MacLennan returns to Ajax to finish junior hockey career F or Chuck MacLennan, it was time to go home. After a vagabond-like junior hockey existence that’s included stops in Hunts- ville and Hamilton over the past two seasons, the 20-year-old winger is look- ing forward to ending his tier II junior hockey career in his hometown when he dons an Ajax Attack jersey next season. MacLennan isn’t the only one making a leap of faith by coming back to resume a junior hockey career in his hometown. Good friends, Ajacians and former team- mates with the Huntsville-Muskoka Ot- ters, forward Craig McDonald and de- fenceman Jamie Kennedy, are also in the process of working out details to allow them to play in Ajax. Ajax hasn’t exactly been a beacon of winning junior hockey of late. Last year, the Attack finished in the basement of the OHA Ontario Provin- cial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League’s South Conference standings, scraping together a meagre five wins. The season before that? A last-place finish and exactly three victories. MacLennan admits he’s received some gentle derision from some friends, urg- ing him to finish his junior hockey career elsewhere, anywhere, other than Ajax. “Everyone says we’re nuts coming back to Ajax,” says MacLennan. “Every- one was unsure about it, but I made a decision to come back. I’ve got a lot of buddies saying, ‘you can play anywhere you want, and Ajax finished last last year, why are you going there’?” But, he’s got his reasons for returning. He believes he and his friends can play a role in converting the team into a playoff contender. “I could have went anywhere I wanted, but I wanted to come back, play with some buddies and help make them into a playoff team and to do it in front of fam- ily and friends,” he says. “With the new ownership and with Carey (Durant) as head coach, from ev- erything I’ve heard, it’s a whole new ball game. They just need a few guys to take them over the edge and I think me and my friends can help them do that.” Despite the naysayers, MacLennan is looking forward to returning home to the Olympic-sized ice pad that he thrived on while playing minor hockey in town, happy to play a leadership role and, hopefully, provide instant credibility to a moribund junior squad that’s been in the doldrums for too long.

The Conservation Bureau is currently run- ning programs to reduce your energy costs with coupons for discounts on compact fluorescent light bulbs, timers, program- mable thermostats and ceiling fans. Details are available at retailers or on our website at www.conservationbureau.on.ca. It’s cheaper to save energy than to make it. My last column outlined my favourite “no cost” ways to save energy. Here are some of my favourite “low cost” ways to save electricity. Peter Love’s TOP TEN “Low Cost” Ways to Save Energy 1. Replace or clean your furnace and central air conditioning lter regularly. Dirty lters raise your energy bill by blocking air ow through your cooling (and heating) systems. 2. Install energy efcient low-ow shower head s and faucet aerators to reduce hot water use. 3. Air conditioning costs money. Seal and weatherstrip around windows and doors to stop cool air from escaping. 4. Insulate your water hot tank. The cost of a wrap can be recouped in just a few months. Install pipe insulation on the rst 1.5 metre s of the pipe leading from your tank to save energy and reduce moisture in your basement. 5. Consider using oor and ceiling fans instead of air conditioning when possible. 6.Use timers, motion detectors and dimmers to automatically turn indoor/outdoor lighting on and off. Dimmers start at just $10. 7. Install a programmable thermostat ($40 and up) to regulate home heating and cooling. 8. Balance the air ow from your central air conditioning by adjusting vents and ducts to drive cool air up and evenly distribute cooling effects around your home. 9. Replace regular light bulbs with compact uorescent light bulbs – they use 75 per cen t less energy and last up to ten times longer. 10. When purchasing a window A/C unit, make sure it has an Energy Star rating (EER 10.8 or higher). Imagine the effect if all Ontarians put their minds to saving energy every day using these simple suggestions. Every kilowatt counts.

At council, Ward 2 Region- al Councillor Bill McLean said he has voted against body rub parlours on many occasions, but this applica- tion on Bayly Street at Salk Road is making the best of a bad situation. He pointed out it is a stand-alone building and its closest neighbour is the fire hall. Wa rd 1 Regional Council- lor Maurice Brenner agreed. “As Coun. McLean pointed out, no location is the right location, but if you have to have a location, this appears to be the better location,” he said. Not all councillors felt the same way. “I look at the map at all the industrial area south of Bayly (street), there’s more than ample space,” said Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson. He didn’t support the ap- plication “The intent of the body rub bylaw was to have them in industrial areas. I’m just having difficulty supporting an application on a regional road next to a fire hall, a kid’s playing area and a church... I just don’t feel it is appropri- ate on a major thoroughfare such as Bayly,” he said. Mayor Dave Ryan said they’re not trying to legislate morality, but rather trying to reflect the values of the com- munity at large. He voted in favour given that is was not part of a plaza and that the applicant has agreed to not have any signage on Bayly Street. “This is the best of a bad situation,” he said. The zoning bylaw amend- ment to allow a body rub parlour as a permitted use passed 4-2 in a recorded vote, with Ward 3 City Council- lor David Pickles the other member against. Ward 1 City Councillor Kevin Ashe was absent. The City’s current bylaw regulating body rub parlours limits the number to three; there are already two.

The Pickering Grade 12 stu- dents recently came first and sec- ond in an annual roller-coaster competition at Canada’s Won- derland, which saw them put the laws of physics into practice by designing and constructing their own model thrill ride. This year’s winner was ‘Crop Circles’, de- signed by Philippe Roy and Mike Accettone. “It’s a wild, very curvy ride,” said Philippe. On the coaster, a ball bear- ing starts along a slightly sloped, curved crop circle in a wooden track, then picks up speed signifi- cantly when it drops onto a slide, then spins through a set of mul- tiple spirals and repeats the pro- cess again and again, completing 36 loops in total before enter- ing another crop circle path. As part of the technical component, the coaster ride has to last 30 to 40 seconds, said Mike. It’s also graded on the number and size of loops, said Grade 12 physics teacher, Helma Rollings. For the Wonderland competi- tion, the teams faced off against more than 100 other entries. Prizes included park passes. Mike and Philippe said creat- ing ‘Crop Circles’ was a project of trial and error. “It took us in total time, a week,” said Philippe. “We spent over a month on this project.” Although the project counts as part of their class mark, stu- dents have to build and fund the project with their own time and budget. Thanks to the luck of having a model coaster built two years earlier by Mike’s brother, they were able to keep their costs at $30 by recycling some materials. Second-place winners Carlos Collantes and Eric Lee spent $90 building their coaster, ‘Blast Off’, but difficulties getting it to work properly during the competition cost them marks. “It’s a lot of trial and error,” said Carlos, adding they often felt like giving up. “There’s just no better feeling than when it completes a run,” added Eric. He said he’ll remem- ber the experience for the rest of his life. “It’s a project they really get into,” said Ms. Rollings. “I did tell them the key to success is to make it sturdy.” Shaking causes the coaster to lose energy and that’s where physics comes into play, she added. Teams also created lev- elling devices to accommodate different ground surfaces. Philippe said he learned more about how the laws of physics apply to life. “It made us believe more in physics and what it can do for us,” he said, adding there were things they wanted to do with the de- sign, but physics simply wouldn’t allow it. “It let us apply our knowledge,” Mike said. Philippe and Mike said the project was the reason they joined physics class. POST TIME 1:20 P.M. 388 KINGSTON ROAD EAST • AJAX LIVE QUARTER HORSE RACING EVERY SUNDAY!

The event is an overnight, non-competitive relay that brings together friends and families in communities across Ontario to raise funds, celebrate cancer survi- vors and pay tribute to loved ones. In Oshawa 152 teams of 10 rallied together, by walking, running or strolling around a track. The evening included a special Luminary Ceremony with candles lit at dusk to commemorate those touched by cancer.

Ms. McKechnie was rep- resenting Pickering High School and was pleased to be in a place that gave her such an adrenaline rush, but admits the best part of the day wasn’t always during the race itself. “The good vibe you get from your fellow racers is amazing, they really pump you up.” Saturday, Ms. McKechnie joined her team and about 2,000 others, to compete in the 10th annual Dragon Boat Challenge and with 24 com- petitive teams and 86 teams in total. Beckie Moss, one of the co-ordinators of the event, said it was a success. “We’re full to capacity and even with the rain it’s been a great day,” Ms. Moss said. After competing with the Pickering Dragon Boat Club for many years, Ms. Moss be- came a member of the or- ganizational side three years ago and now does a lot of ad- ministrative work. The back- to-back days of racing were organized by Ms. Moss and four others, under the leader- ship of the club head coach and convener, Scott Murray. According to Ms. Moss, Saturday was the unofficial start to the dragon boat sea- son and proved to be an ex- cellent way to celebrate the race’s tenth year. “It started out small, but it’s really grown over the years, and we’re really proud to have been here for 10 years.” To celebrate the anniver- sary, all participants were given a crest as a memento of the day. Other than the spe- cial crest, Ms. Moss said the competition was similar to past years, with some minor improvements. Sunday’s event combined the fifth annual High School Dragon Boat Championships with the third annual Com- munity Dragon Boat Festival. According to Ms. Moss, the Community Dragon Boat Festival in particular was geared more to having fun and less to winning, by pro- viding organizations with the opportunity to get their em- ployees involved in a great team-building exercise. Dragon boat ‘addicts’ hit Frenchman’s Bay AJAX — On Saturday, June, 10, cycle, run, or walk in the Crohn’s and Colitis Heel ‘N’ Wheel-a-Thon.

Residents can celebrate Home Week in countless ways June 9 to 18 DURHAM — The old sta- ples are there, but are now joined by some new events. The 36th annual Ajax Home Week is ready to go, running this year from June 9 to 18.

New events include the Rib Fest, Rock ‘n’ Bowl, Youth in Action Through Arts and Sci- ence, a Texas Hold’em Night and a Dashing Duck Derby. “A lot of things have been revamped,” says Wilma Gra- ham, a member of the orga- nizing committee. Ms. Graham added orga- nizers have tried to appeal to all ages. “We want to open things up a little bit,” she says. “We want to bring in new Ajax residents.” It begins Friday, June 9 with a Multicultural Night at the McLean Community Centre, at Westney Road and Magill Drive. There will be food and entertainment. It starts at 7 p.m. and tickets are $2 each or $5 for a family. Activities on Saturday, June 10 include a charity ga- rage sale, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Access Storage, on Westney Road just south of Hwy. 401.

Following the parade, from 1 to 4 p.m., it’s the Fun in the Sun Durham Regional Police Services Community Day at the Ajax Community Centre. There will be displays of po- lice and EMS vehicles, the Air 1 helicopter, and an ex- otic animal show. There will be refreshments and it’s all free. A classic car show goes from 6 to 9 p.m. in the park- ing lot of the Canadian Tire, at Hwy. 2 and Salem Road.

The list contains a number of free and fee-based prena- tal and postpartum resourc- es for new parents to ensure successful breastfeeding. The list is created by the Durham Region Breastfeeding Coali- tion, a non-profit organiza- tion that supports, promotes, and educates throughout the region. The ‘Yellow Card’ is avail- able at all regional hospitals, the Ontario Early Years’ Cen- tres, the Durham health de- partment, and at libraries. Breastfeeding resource delivers updated list of regional services Detectives saw clerk chased from Pickering store as part of incidents j ustices cite as ‘appalling’ violence By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — Ontario’s Court of Appeal has upheld the lengthy jail sentence given an Ajax man for his role in a series of robberies that included what the justices called “gratuitous and appalling violence against the victims”. The three-judge panel also re- jected an appeal of Junior Chris- topher Brown’s conviction, agree- ing with the trial judge that a delay of more than 16 months in bringing the case to trial was not unreasonable. The appeal court decision means Mr. Brown will continue to serve the sentence handed him in the fall of 2004 by Superior Court Justice Clair Marchand, who heard the case in Whitby. Justice Marchand sentenced Mr. Brown to nine years on top of the time he’d spent in pretrial custody for a total term of 11 years in federal penitentiary. Mr. Brown was 19 when he went on a robbery spree with two other teenagers in the spring of 2003. Masked and armed with knives and in one instance a handgun, the crew swarmed helpless con- venience store clerks as they worked alone at night, beating and stabbing the victims before fleeing with cash, cigarettes and lottery tickets. Mr. Brown and two accom- plices were busted in May 2003 by Durham Regional Police of- ficers investigating the robberies. The robbery detectives saw three masked men enter a Pickering store and were waiting with guns drawn when they emerged, chas- ing a terrified clerk who’d escaped them. Mr. Brown’s accomplices, both of whom were 16 at the time of their crimes, pleaded guilty and were then the subject of an ex- traordinary hearing at which the Crown successfully sought to have them sentenced as adults. The teens, who cannot be named, were ordered to serve eight years in penitentiary; an appeal of that sentence is pending. The appeal of Mr. Brown’s con- viction and sentence was heard in mid-May. In a ruling released Monday justices David Doherty, Stephen Borins and Russell Juri- ansz declared the harsh sentence imposed by Justice Marchand ap- propriate. “These were all vicious rob- beries on particularly vulnerable small store owners late in the evening,” the justices wrote. “All three of the robberies ... involved gratuitous and appalling violence against the victims.” Mr. Brown was on probation when he committed the robber- ies, the court noted.

That said, “we didn’t have any last year, and yet, we had an extremely hot summer.” Record-breaking, in fact: last sum- mer there were 41 days when tem- peratures in the GTA exceeded 30 degrees, said Mr. Phillips, calling it the “hottest and dirtiest (summer) on record.” Last week, too, was record-break- ing, with Monday’s high temperature of 34.1 degrees in the GTA making the books as the hottest ever on that date. Tuesday, the record of 33 degrees was tied. “Our forecast ... for summer is showing warmer than normal, and so we better get used to it,” said Mr. Phillips. “This week is a dry run, a dress rehearsal, for what’s to come.” Still, Mr. Phillips doesn’t “think it will be as hot as last year ... Last year was an anomaly, something you see every hundred years.” Having higher than average tem- peratures is becoming the norm, said Mr. Phillips. Of the last 37 seasons, 34 have been warmer than normal. The last time southern Ontario had a cool summer, compared with averages, was in 1992. “It’s almost as if it’s become a trend, a slam dunk, to say seasons favour the warmer side,” he said. There’s good and bad to having such hot summers, said Mr. Phillips. “It’s great for drinking beer on a patio, and going to the beach and cottaging, but there’s also a down- side,” he said, pointing out that the heat and smog are difficult for those with health issues, and that higher temperatures mean more power con- sumption for air conditioning. But, there’s no need to think this year will be as bad as last, just based on this week, Mr. Phillips stressed. “Having three tortuous days in May is not necessarily an indicator,” he said.

CPR training tomorrow in Ajax DURHAM — Thanks to a group of retired Durham teachers, there are better kitchen, water, and sani- tary facilities at the ‘Cana- dian School.’ On June 6, members of District 28 Retired Teach- ers of Ontario presented a cheque in Ajax for $4,000 to Barry Barisic, of the Nk- wantakese, Ghana-based school. “The money will offer some hope to a commu- nity which sorely needed a helping hand,” said Mr. Barisic, a former Pickering high school teacher. The Canadian School was built due to the ini- tiative of Mr. Barisic, who previously served as proj- ect manager for Habitat for Humanity in Nkwant- akese. During the summer of 2005, a five-classroom school was built, which welcomed 82 students in September 2005. Cur- rently the school has 125 students, who receive day care, education for young students, and employment and instruction for adults in the community. There is a lengthy wait- ing list to attend the school, which was origi- nally funded by the Barisic family, friends, and former colleagues.

(NC)—As your lawn and garden reach their peak of colour and vibrancy over the next few weeks, it is certainly no time to put up with dreary patio furniture. With a little attention to it now, each piece can claim its rightful place when brought from winter stor- age and put back into the light. Lawn, pool, and patio furniture needs to be examined, cleaned thoroughly, and restored if necessary – and since bacteria thrive in sum- mer heat and humidity, it is always a good idea to remove potential germs from the furniture on a regular basis. On hard, non-porous sur- faces, like plastic for example, a liquid, multi- purpose, antibacterial cleaning aid is ideal for the fi rst big wash-down in spring. Th e furni- ture can then be maintained with the use of a handy, non-streaking, antibacterial spray. Here are a few useful tips to make this job a breeze, courtesy of Mr. Clean: Plastic Furniture W ipe heavy grime off fi rst with a clean wet cloth. Follow by spraying with germ-fi ghting solution like Mr. Clean Antibacterial Multi- Surfaces Cleaner, as directed on the label. Rinse thoroughly with water from your gar- den hose. Also keep it clean throughout the season with Mr. Clean Antibacterial Multi- Surfaces Spray. Its non-streaking formula is ideal for glass tabletops too. If scuff s and stains are excessive, try spray painting the plastic in a matching colour. Wicker Furniture Scrub gently with a soft scrub brush dampened with an oil- based soap solution. Rinse by hosing down. Maintain by hos- ing down periodically to prevent dirt from lodging in the crevices. Prevent erosion from rain with vinyl covers. Wr ought-Iron Furniture Wash with a clean cloth dampened with a mixture of water and a mild dishwashing detergent, such as Ivory. Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose. To remove rust, lightly sand the aff ected area, wipe with a clean cloth, and then apply matching, wrought iron paint. Teak Furniture As with wicker, use a soft scrub brush dampened with water and a mild oil-based soap. Rinse with a garden hose. Dreaming of a backyard designed for outdoor gatherings of family and friends, elegant evening dinners, or an escape from a busy life? Make your dreams a reality with the help of Arnts Topsoil: Th e Landscape Sup- plier. Begin by visiting one of Arnts’ 2 large locations occupying 30 acres of outdoor space with everything for your landscaping needs. Th rough ex- tensive displays, design brochures, in- stallation videos, and knowledgeable staff , Arnts Topsoil provides the tools to help you create an outdoor space that surpasses your expectations. Th ere are 10 basic steps to the installation of interlocking paving stones. Th e fi rst step is to draw a dia- gram showing measurements, grade elevations, and proposed planters, steps, walls, and paving stone areas. A member of Arnts’ sales staff will help calculate the amount and cost of the materials for your project. Th e next step is to prepare the area by mark- ing the digging location. Excavate the minimum required depth de- pending on the application. Fill the area with a well-draining base mate- rial, usually a combination of gravel and sand. Compact the gravel with a Plate Compactor in 2” deep inter- vals. Spread a 1” layer of coarse sand on the compacted base and level. Lay the pavers on the coarse sand, prefer- ably staggering the joints for stability. Mark and cut any pavers that do not fi t along edges or around objects. In- stall Brick Edge Restraints along the perimeter of the paving stones to pre- vent the pavers from shifting. Sweep the surface of the paving stones and compact with a Gas Plate Compac- tor to settle the pavers into the layer of course sand. Finish the project by sweeping fi ne sand into the joints of the pavers. Specially formulated sands are also available for creating a sealed joint to help prevent weeds and ants from penetrating between pavers. In addition to a wide variety of paving stones and retaining walls, Arnts Topsoil also provides the best selection of soils, mulches, aggregates, natural fl agstone and rockery, decora- tive gravels, slabs, curbs, steps, pond supplies, and much more.

Groen spotted something in an Oshawa tree, he wasn’t entirely certain what he was looking at. “I thought it was a cat in the tree at first,” he said. As it turned out, it was a completely white, albino raccoon. An Internet search on this type of raccoon suggests the occurrence is fairly rare, affecting about one in 750,000 raccoons born. The lack of regular raccoon markings may be a factor, sug- gested several sites. “Albinism is fairly rare in the wild, because a bright white raccoon can’t blend into its sur- roundings,” said the Discovery Channel website. The lack of camouflage may make the albino raccoon easier prey for its natural predators, suggested a number of sources. While albinism in any species is quite rare, it may be a little less so for raccoons, said Dr. Wendy Korver, of Bowmanville Veterinary Clin- ic. “For raccoons in general, compared to dogs or bears or humans, I think the albinism gene seems more common,” said Dr. Korver, who is also the vet for Bowmanville Zoo. Of approximately 150 raccoons she’s treated in her years as a vet, two were albino, said Dr. Korver. She noted she had “no idea if that’s represen- tative of the population. “It’s common within the species, compared with other species, but that still means it’s rare,” she said. The Region of Durham is undertaking a Master Planning study to identify a preferred water & wastewater servicing strategy to support growth in the Region. The Water & Wastewater Master Plan is being prepared in accordance with the master planning provisions of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment. Based on these planning provisions, alternative water & wastewater servicing strategies are being identified and evaluated based on an assessment of the following factors: Natural Environment Cultural Environment Social Environment Regulatory Requirements Economic Environment Technical Feasibility The initial set of Public Information Centres (PICs) is being held at the following locations to introduce the study, and receive public input to assist with the development of alternative servicing strategies: Tuesday, June 13, 2006, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Durham Region Headquarters, Lower Level Meeting Room, 605 Rossland Road East, Whitby. (Please enter through the main doors on the west side of the building); and, Thursday, June 15, 2006, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Sunderland Memorial Arena, 20 Park Street, Sunderland. Durham Region staff, as well as study consultants, will be available to answer questions. We encourage your attendance at either of these PICs to help us identify the issues that are important to you. A second set of PICs will be held later in 2006 to assist with the identification of the preferred servicing strategy. At the completion of the study, a comprehensive Water & Wastewater Master Plan will be filed for public review.

The happy couple will be married on Sept. 9, 2006. They will honeymoon in a sunny climate.” By Mike Ruta Staff Editor PICKERING — Giles Tom- kins’ voice is taking him plac- es -- literally and profession- ally. The Pickering native and bass baritone, who has a master’s degree in operatic performance, has had “a wonderful year.” You can add the adjective ‘busy’ as well, since Tomkins has a lot on the go. “I just returned from two months in Scotland, where I was involved in a production of La Boheme with the Scot- tish National Opera,” he says. Tomkins says the com- pany played eight dates, all in Scotland, to appreciative audiences that perhaps don’t get to hear opera very often. “They have hired me back to do a production of The Barber of Seville next fall,” he says, agreeing that he seems to have formed a special re- lationship with the Scottish National Opera. “They’ve been absolutely wonderful. They’ve also given me a career develop- ment grant.” The grant was for 2,000 British pounds, or about $4,100 Canadian. Tomkins was back home in To ronto this week for another musical project. On Tues- day night, about 120 people joined him to celebrate the release of ‘And So it Goes’, his first disc, at the Enoch Turner Schoolhouse in Toronto. The 10-track CD is dedicated to his parents and not what you would expect, given Tomkins’ operatic training. “It’s a departure for me, certainly,” he says. “I’m really proud of it. It’s essentially a popular music album done in a more classical style.” The Canadian Brass is fea- tured on four of the tracks, one of which is The Beatles’ ‘Norwegian Wood’. The disc was Opening Day Record- ings’ idea, says Tomkins, re- ferring to the Canadian in- dependent label, designed to help further his career. “I mostly chose what was going to go on it,” he says. “I was presented with the gen- eral theme of the record and was given the artistic free- dom to explore my favourite songs.” The disc was produced by Trey Mills, who composed two of the songs. Tomkins notes, “his sister is my fian- cee. Tomkins’ bride-to-be, pia- nist Kathryn Tremills, plays on four of the songs. “We met at the university (of Toronto),” he notes. “She’s a wonderful pianist. We started working together and the relationship grew from there.” The couple will be married in July in Ms. Tremills’ home- town, Owen Sound. Soon after the wedding, Tomkins will be in London, England, performing for three nights in the European premiere of the Canadian opera, The Midnight Court, with the Queen of Puddings Music Theatre Company at the Linbury Theatre at the Royal Opera House. “Their aim is to commis- sion and produce new operas by Canadians,” he notes. “We presented this work last year at the Harbourfront Centre Theatre and there was such interest in it.” Later in the year, Tomkins will be involved in the Cana- dian Opera Company’s per- formance of Wagner’s Ring Cycle at the new Four Sea- sons Centre for the Perform- ing Arts in Toronto. As if that isn’t enough to fill his schedule, Tomkins says planning is in the early stages for “a little tour before the end of the year” to promote ‘And So it Goes’ in Canada. And, he is also going to be doing a bullying work- shop opera for elementary schoolkids. He hopes it touches down in Durham. “I’m the bully,” Tomkins laughs. 139 50 % 19 Sport Shirts 109 29 WELL MADE. WELL PRICED.

Pickering runner ends track career on high note Mayne just misses NCAA regionals with the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Mocs PICKERING — The Chattanooga Choo-Choo has pulled out of the station and, this time, Ian Mayne is taking the last train home after a stellar career, athletically and academically, at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. The St. Mary Catholic Second- ary School graduate finished four years of study and competition on a track and field scholarship to the southern U.S. school. And, despite a heavy workload and the constant battle to keep academics and athletics in balance, it was a solid finale to a much- decorated collegiate experience. “I am very happy with my career at UTC. I was able to race very fast, get a great edu- cation, trav- el all over the U.S. and meet a lot of interesting people. It was a chance of a lifetime and I thoroughly encourage any other athletes in Pickering to take advantage of a similar opportunity if it is avail- able to them,” says the Pickering resident. During the recently complet- ed outdoor season, Mayne just missed on two occasions to qualify for the NCAA Mideast regionals in the 3,000-metre steeplechase. At Georgia Tech’s Last Chance Invita- tional, he ran the event in 10:10.81, just more than three seconds over the qualifying time. At the Southern Conference Outdoor Track and Field Cham- pionships in Statesboro, Georgia, Mayne finished second in the 3,000m steeplechase, just two- tenths of a second off the winning time. He also placed third in the 5,000m. Running in the Crimson Tide Invitational, Mayne anchored the UTC Mocs’ 4-x-1500m relay team to a victory over the University of Alabama and Mississippi State. Both of these teams are very com- petitive Southeastern Conference schools. Mayne returned to the track an hour later and anchored the Mocs’ Distance Medley Relay team to a second-place finish be- hind Alabama. He also competed at one of the most prestigious track meets in North America, the Stanford In- vitational at Palo Alto, California, where he ran the 10,000 metres for the first time ever, placing 30th in 30:16, two seconds off the UTC record. And, at the Sea Ray Relays at the University of Tennessee in Nashville, Mayne was eighth in the 3,000m steeplechase. He was also a SOCON ‘runner of the week’ during the outdoor campaign. During the indoor season, Mayne won the 5,000m at the Southern Conference Indoor Champion- ships in Clemson, South Carolina where he also earned all-Confer- ence honours. He also finished fourth in the 3,000m. He placed fourth in the 3,000m at the Rod McCravy Invitational at the University of Kentucky and was 10th in the 5,000m at the Iowa State Invitational. During the indoor season, Mayne was named two-time SOCAN runner of the week. In academics, Mayne gradu- ated magna cum laude with a 3.87 overall GPA with a degree in biol- ogy, pre-medicine, with minors in chemistry and business entrepre- neurship. He was also the recipi- ent of UTC’s Dayle May Award for the highest GPA among UTC ath- letes. His research project-thesis was awarded highest honours at the school and is currently being sub- mitted for publication in several scientific journals. Mayne’s been accepted to the University of Toronto’s medical school where he’ll begin study in late August. He eventually hopes to specialize in sports medicine- orthopedics. He plans to race in the five-kilo- metre portion of the Run the Lake event in Ajax June 17. In addition, he will continue to train upwards to 110 miles a week in preparation for the 3,000m steeplechase at Ca- nadian Track and Field Nationals in Ottawa on Aug. 4 to 6.

The event, at the Hub Plaza, 1360 Kingston Rd., from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., promises to be a fun-filled day for the youth in the community. All proceeds go toward the DCBA year-end banquet. Donations are welcome. The DCBA is a non-profit orga- nization designed to enhance oppor- tunities for youth playing basketball within Durham Region. Basketball Canada coming to Durham DURHAM — Canadian National Men’s basketball team coach Leo Rautins is bringing his crew to Os- hawa later this month. Rautins and Basketball Canada will hold court at Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology Athletic Centre for one of their final training camps in prepara- tion for their next Olympic qualifying event. Roughly 35 of Canada’s top basketball players will be invited to the camp, which runs from June 30 to July 3. The camp could include NBAers Jamaal Magloire of the Mil- waukee Bucks and Samuel Dalembert of the Philadelphia 76ers. All the play- ers and coaching staff will be stay- ing on campus at the South Village residence, while also training at the school’s athletic facility. [ Tennis ] Youths can play after school PICKERING — The Amberlea Tennis Club plans to get youths in the game. The club’s after-school drop-in tennis program is now in session. Mondays and Wednesdays are reserved for players under age 12. Tuesday and Thursdays are for play- ers ages 12 to 17. Sessions are from 4 to 5:30 p.m., weather permitting. No equipment or experience is required. The after-school program was delayed due to resurfacing work on the club’s courts on Shadybrook Drive, just south of Strouds Lane.

Ian Mayne AJAX — Of the three Ajax school teams competing for pro- vincial high school soccer suprem- acy, it was the Archbishop Denis O’Connor Chargers that ended up the closest to a title. The Chargers’ senior boys’ squad finished as quarter-finalists at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) ‘AA’ championships in St. Catharines earlier this week. In the quarter-final game, DO’C dropped a heartbreaker to St. Paul’s from Peel Region 2-1 on penalty kicks. The Chargers finished pool play with a 2-2 record, good enough to advance to the quarter-finals. After winning twice on Day 1 on Mon- day (2-1 over Sudbury’s St. Charles College, 1-0 over Newmarket High School), DO’C dropped a 2-1 deci- sion to Toronto’s George Harvey Secondary School and 2-0 to St. Thomas Aquinas. Meanwhile, the Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cou- gars senior boys’ and girls’ squads didn’t make it out of their pools at their respective OFSAA ‘AAAA’ championships. In To ronto, the Cougars boys’ squad ended up with a 1-1-2 re- cord in pool play, finishing third in their pool, with only the top two teams advancing. The Cou- gars ended play on Tuesday with a 2-1 loss to Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School from Brampton and earned a 1-1 draw with Toron- to’s St. Michael’s College. In Whitby, the Cougars girls’ team ended pool play winless with an 0-3 record. The Cougars dropped their final pool game 4-0 to Cardinal Newman from Scar- borough. 4(%.%73!$6%24)3%2*UNE0!'%!0`ÕÀ>Ài}°V "KBYTPDDFSSFQT GJOBMJTUTJO 1FOOTZMWBOJB 8A8OÇ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iÊDX^`ZËXcn\\b\e[]fiLe`k\[^`icj JlYd`kk\[g_fkf K_\8aXoLe`k\[DX^`ZË0*j^`icjËi\gjfZZ\ik\Xd]`e`j_\[Xj]`eXc`jkj Xkk_\i\Z\ek<Xjk\ieG\eejpcmXe`X@em`kXk`feXc:cXjj`Z#n_`Z_XkkiXZk\[ )-k\Xdj]ifdk_\L%J%Xe[:XeX[X% Proceeds Donated To The Oshawa Hospital Foundation DURHAM REGION MEDIA GROUP CHAMPIONSHIP PRIZES Hole in one wins a 2006 Buick Rendezvous from Mills Pontiac Buick GMC Over $5000 in prizes to be won including the Grand Prize of a $2000 Golf Package.

TJ, 1998-2006, It's been 2 weeks since you passed. Life without you is not fun, but I'm told it gets better. This is my tribute to you... We had 18 years together...such a short time when you are with your best friend. You were with us through divorce, cancer, many moves, kids going to college and then coming home and a score of other life lessons. No matter what life threw at us you were there with a wag of your tail or a lick on the hand. Always loving us and knowing just what we needed to help us smile thru the day. Last August you went for a walk and couldn't find your way home. We were faced with the reality of loosing you, but thanks to the kindness of a stranger at the Whitby Go Station @ 5:30 am we found you. Shame on the staff of PAWS for not treating you with the kindness and respect that you deserved in your time of need. You sur- vived, with the help of the amazing staff of The Baker Animal Clinic and my wonderful neighbors of Port Whitby. I think you knew we were not ready for you to go...you survived sickness and injuries that most younger dogs would have suc- cumbed to just to give us more time. When I was sick I asked you to stay around long with the boys until they were grown and make sure they would be ok. You did that and more...you stayed long enough for me to make sure I would be ok. You were an incredible friend and we will miss for a lifetime. You cannot be replaced and you will be loved forever. Have fun in Rainbow Heav- en...We'll see you soon. We love and miss you dearly. Lee-Anne, Dean, Tyler, Matthew and Jazz. If your reading this hug and kiss your dog, tell them it's from TJ. EVERY SATURDAY BEGINNING JUNE 10 from 9:00 am- 5:00 pm outdoor farmers market. Vendors wanted. Fruits, veggies and baked goods. Space is $27.00/day. *Call Kim at 905-426-3387, ext. 222* CONGRATULATIONS! JIM & SELMA DEVENNEY ON YOUR 50th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!
