It is one of the designated growth areas in the Province’s Places to Grow Act, which was passed last week, and as such must meet a target of 200 people and/or jobs per hectare. The plan designates areas for growth, density targets for identified growth areas and employment targets in an effort to curb urban sprawl. The final plan was released Friday. Mayor Dave Ryan had a two- pronged reaction to the plan. “For downtown Pickering I’m feel- ing very confident in the direction we’re going and how it meets the in- tent of Places to Grow,” he said, add- ing the latest development projects have been mainly townhouses. “In addition to development currently underway, we have applications for apartment and condominium-style medium height buildings in the downtown area.” He does have some concerns. “As much as we appreciate that growth has to be responsible and controlled, I’m not confident people want large portions of Pickering to look like downtown Toronto,” Mayor Ryan said. “Yonge and St. Clair is not the urban experience that people are moving to Pickering to enjoy.” Neil Carroll, Pickering’s director of planning and development, said they are pleased the Province is mov- ing forward with the plan and that Pickering has been designated an urban growth area. He did have con- cerns with the employment ratio for Jack McGinnis recalls recycling seemed like ‘a practical thing to do’ By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — It wasn’t Jack McGin- nis’ environmental ambitions that led to the creation of the group that would start Canada’s first curbside recycling program, it was his desire to not have a boss. The Claremont resident has worn many hats over the years –- journalist, rock band manager, businessman -- but it was his decision to found the Is Five Foundation that has had the biggest im- pact. “The point of the group was to find a way to work with people instead of them working for me or me working for them,” he said. While he always believed in conserva- tion, Mr. McGinnis said he never really felt like a true environmentalist. “It was a bit of an accident that we went into recycling,” he said. “It seemed like a good thing to do, a practical thing to do.” The Is Five Foundation was started as a non-profit community group in 1974. Mr. McGinnis’ goal was to work with people as a true collective. “What came out of it was far beyond what I could have done myself,” he said. Pickering resident Gail Lawlor has known Mr. McGinnis since 1983, when she began working for him, her first job out of university. While he may have worked with a collective to achieve much of what he has, Ms. Lawlor said he is a man with vision. “He’s one of the few people I know who is a blue sky thinker and who sees what can be,” she said. “He’s always thinking into the future. He’s a firm be- liever in people and that people will do the right thing if given the tools.” One of the tools Mr. McGinnis and the Is Five Foundation gave people is curbside recycling pickup.

Homicide detectives are meeting the press Wednesday morning to announce what one source called a “major devel- opment” in the murder of Shawn Douse. The 35-year-old father of two from Kes- wick was found dead in a field north of Concession 7 just east of the York-Dur- ham Line Dec. 8. Durham homicide cops have worked quietly on the case since then, conduct- ing repeated searches of the remote area in which the body was found as well as at a house in Keswick. The house, which has been searched at least twice by Durham police, was owned by one of the victims of the shocking massacre of outlaw biker gang members in April. Tuesday police weren’t disclosing the nature of the development. They sched- uled a media event for 11 a.m. today. So far detectives have publicly specu- lated the murder occurred elsewhere and that the body was dumped where it was found, and that it took more than one person to do so. They’ve also re- leased a photo of a blue ball cap bearing the Callaway Golf logo which was found near the body. And in April homicide Detective Ser- geant Rolf Kluem said the Keswick home of Jamie Flanz is of interest in the in- vestigation. Mr. Flanz was one of eight members or associates of the Bandidos biker gang found dead in southwestern Ontario. Police here made no connec- tion between Mr. Douse’s murder and that massacre. Durham Region of one job for every three resi- dents, since it is one for two in the rest of the GTA. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson shared that concern. “Why they’re treating Durham differently than the rest of the GTA is be- yond me,” he said. The population and employment targets in the regional Official Plan dif- fer from those in Places to Grow. The Official Plan projects 90,000 more resi- dents than the Province’s projection of 960,000 by 2031 and a job ratio of one to two. In the draft population and employment section of the Official Plan review, the Region notes it would have to change those numbers to conform to the provincial plan. “We’ve spent two and a half years on an Official Plan that is really a big waste of time because we have to conform to their plan,” Mr. Anderson said. “It’s just a bad plan that didn’t take into consideration the advantages of living and working in the same area,” While Mr. Anderson said there are merits to having higher-density developments, he also said, “people don’t move to Durham because they wanted to live in an apartment.” Mr. Carroll said an example of a development in Pickering that would meet the intensification target are the townhouse-type homes across from the Pickering Civic Complex. He said the 200-hectare guide was a high target and he wondered if there would be funding from the Province for infrastructure to help support that kind of growth. Bonnie Littley of the Rouge Duffins Greens- pace Coalition welcomed the plan. “It’s ambitious and long overdue, but I don’t think it will happen in my lifetime to see if it actually curbs sprawl,” she said. She believes the key to good intensifica- tion design projects is public consultation, but higher density is inevitable. “If you want transit and you want all these services and you don’t want your taxes to go up, this is what you have to do,” Ms. Littley said. Mr. Carroll said the next step would be to sit down with the Province and the Region to identify the boundaries and size of Pickering’s growth area.

Groen / News Advertiser photos Torch bearers PICKERING — The Durham Regional Police took part in the annual Ontario Law En- forcement Torch Run in support of the Special Olympics. The run made a brief stop- over at Pickering City Hall where, above left, Special Olympians Stephanie and brother Mark Barrett of Pickering held the torch. Along the route, Special Olympians Blair DesJardins, left, and Andrew Boyd, handled the torch duties. For more on this story in 1975 and would drive through the streets of east Toronto in a pickup truck collecting glass bottles and cans from cardboard boxes, later adding newspa- pers and cardboard. “We seemed like a bunch of hippies,” he said. The group worked on public educa- tion and Mr. McGinnis coined the slo- gan “we recycle” so people would feel a sense of ownership of the program. “If there’s any poem I’ve ever written that I was proud of, that was one,” he said with a smile. The foundation started as a small group with seven members sharing ideas and just trying to contribute some- thing to society. But through an ambi- tious government grant application blitz it turned into “Canada’s largest environ- mental organization overnight,” Mr. Mc- Ginnis said. Several other organizations and programs grew out of the founda- tion, including blue box recycling, the Recycling Council of Ontario and Mr. McGinnis’ own RDC Group and Dur- ham Sustain Ability, in which Ms. Lawlor is also involved. Now as Mr. McGinnis sits around with people discussing sustainability and en- ergy conservation, Ms. Lawlor said she can see him trying to think of his next great plan. “Every time we have a meeting his mind is just going... We’re still waiting for him to figure out the simple way to get people conserving the way he got them recycling,” she said. While it might seem amazing that what started as a small group of indi- viduals picking up people’s cans and bottles in east Toronto has turned into a program used by more than 70 million people each week in North America, Mr. McGinnis admits with a sheepish grin that he did imagine it would become what it has. He describes the sense of “if you build it, they will come” from the book ‘Field of Dreams’ -- not the movie -- he said it was like that. “There was something when I was first working on this that felt that way,” he said. “I remember having a picture of how things could be -- should be.” Mr. McGinnis said the group knew that for curbside recycling to take off it would need to come into the mainstream, and so they began working with Laidlaw, which had contracts for municipal waste collection, including in Kitchener, which became the first municipality to have a curbside collection program. “I feel incredible pride, but for the small role (I played). I feel so clearly (it’s a success) because people are basically good,” he said. “One hundred million people use that system everyday world- wide. That only works because people take the time to show their concern.” In his own life he thinks about con- servation as much as he can, including making a conscious effort when it comes to packaging. Mr. McGinnis gives an ex- ample of how, as part of the new Sustain- able Pickering initiative he is involved in, they were going to give out energy effi- ciency lightbulbs to the Whitevale Resi- dents’ Association, but they went with the second best bulbs because it had less packaging. He thought it would go against the point of giving out the bulbs, if they came with too much packaging. Wa sting has always felt unnatural to him. “It’s about our obligation to what we have around us,” he said. “We are so lucky with what we have around us, it is silly to be wasteful with it or not respect it.” Pickering’s People is an occasion- al feature looking at individuals in Pickering with unique experiences to share.

One of many students who have passed through the school over its 50 years, Mr. Gadd is anxiously awaiting Ajax High’s reunion celebration from June 23 to 25. “The best thing about this is getting to see people again,” said Mr. Gadd, a member of the reunion committee, which has been planning activities for about three years now. To celebrate memories and students, a reunion committee is offering a variety of events to bring graduates back together again, including a barbecue, opening ceremonies and de- cade rooms at the school. A pub night, dance and light buffet, and a brunch will also be held at various locations. Graduates of all ages are welcome. Flipping through an old year- book with handwritten text and black-and-white photographs, Mr. Gadd explained it was a dif- ferent time when he attended between 1957 and 1962. “The school was small and everyone seemed to be involved in everything,” said Mr. Gadd. Along with about 25 other stu- dents, or approximately 10 per cent of the school’s population, Mr. Gadd was a member of its United Nations Club, which in- cluded a trip to provincial parlia- ment buildings. “In the 1950s, early 1960s, we rarely got to go to places like To ronto,” said Mr. Gadd. “It was kind of a chance for us to get into Toronto.” He added most students were involved in everything to do with the school because it was their whole life, and Ajax only had about 5,000 people then. “When I first came to Ajax, it had wooden sidewalks,” recalled Mr. Gadd. “In the area surrounding Ajax High School, it was all swamp. We’d have to take the bus to Os- hawa to go see a movie.” School dances were held every two weeks and teenagers hit ‘The Plaza’ or ‘The Coffee Cup’ for french fries and pop afterwards. “Very few kids got into drink- ing,” he said. “Ajax was dry for the longest time.” Education was also different. Once a whole class was held back to learn to transfer rooms in single file, he said. He also recalled a gym teacher known as ‘Big Al’, who had the muscles of a football player and who swore he’d whip Mr. Gadd into a foot- ball player if it was the last thing he did. He failed despite the best attempts of both. For more information or to register for reunion events, call 905-683-1610, or visit www.aja- xhs.com.

Pickering councillor has July court date Brenner makes brief appearance PICKERING — A Pickering councillor will be back in court next month facing charges of fraud and breach of trust by a public officer. Pickering Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner made an appearance at the On- tario Court of Justice in Oshawa Monday morning. The matter was put over until July 18. In May, police charged him with various fraud-related of- fences after City officials filed a report with Durham Regional Police fol- lowing an internal review. Po- lice allege false doc- uments were sub- mitted to justify re- imburse- ment claims for clerical services totalling $5,400 over a period in 1999 and 2000. According to police, at the time of the alleged offences, a City policy allowed councillors to pay an outside agency for clerical services and be repaid by submitting invoices and re- ceipts. Coun. Brenner maintains the charges are groundless. The 55-year-old is charged with two counts each of fraud under $5,000 and utter forged document, and breach of trust by a public officer. Maurice Brenner PA GE A6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ JUNE 21, 2006A/P I t’s funny the things that become important to us as we grow older, the things we feel it necessary to hold on to. When my grandmother died, some years ago, the only thing I really wanted, from a houseful of objects, was a cracked, butter-yellow ceramic ewer. An ordinary item made priceless to me because it was the vessel she’d always served us hot chocolate out of. I have the collars of every dog I have owned and loved. I can’t bring myself to throw them out or give them away. I have my grandfather’s World War One uniform. And lately, I have noticed that I am collecting more and more of my father’s par- aphernalia. This is, no doubt, a func- tion of two separate phe- nomena; a) he is getting older and naturally divesting himself of what he consid- ers junk and b) he is getting older and I am hanging onto every piece of him that I can get. My Dad hasn’t smoked in decades, but I have his old Zippo. I have a drawer full of his old pocket and hunting knives. With the recent departure of the cottage I have inher- ited a garage full of my Dad’s tools and hardware. I have his trophy Muskel- lunge mounted in my par- lour. I think I know why I do this. Why I keep all of these things. They are, all of them, talismans and touchstones that seem to keep him with me, both emotionally and physically. Superstitious, silly? Maybe, but this is powerful magic and I’m not about to mess with it. You don’t throw your Dad’s stuff out while he’s still around. I’m naturally curious as to what stuff of mine my own children will glom onto. What pieces of me will seem to radiate most strongly with my ‘Dad-ness’? My key- board? My glasses? Maybe my canoe paddle? Who am I kidding? It’ll probably be the Whoopee cushion and the Fart Ma- chine. It’s odd that this process doesn’t seem to apply to my Mother’s possessions. Maybe it’s strictly a gender issue, but I tend to keep my mother’s flame deep inside me. With my Dad I like a more tangible reminder. And so I happily store away his things. I have no desire, for in- stance, to hang onto my Mom’s apron or sewing kit or even the wooden spoon she used to whack us with (although it seems to me that item should have a hallowed place somewhere). I suspect that my Mom’s memory will be preserved much in the same way that my Grandmother’s is. There will be one special article, one key that will most easily open the doors of memory. Maybe that wooden spoon will resurface after all. But with dads and their sons, it is different. Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that most of us spend a lifetime trying to be like our fathers. And with every little ac- quisition, every tool, knife, lighter and trophy fish, we feel that we are that much closer to being the man we always wanted to be.

Province and school boards need to talk There’s more money in the coffers of the Durham District School Board and the Durham Catholic District School Board. The $600 million funding announcement, last week, came with the message from Education Minister Sandra Pupatello that the funds will “support continued improvement for the province’s two million students.” The Liberal government wants to ensure primary class sizes keep shrinking, reading, writing and math achievement keeps improving, and more high school students graduate, the ministry announced. The Catholic board’s director of education said they anticipated the announcement and pointed out a key issue is the collective agreements the board has reached with staff in recent months. Pa- tricia Manson said the funds will increase its budget and allow the Catholic board to honour the agreements. However, although he wasn’t overly critical, Michael Barrett, DDSB chairman, pointed out some funding was simply shuffled from one area to another. While some areas will get less funding than before, the shuffling will offset some of the funding gains the minister is touting. The Province’s promise of two per cent more for transportation “is laughable” Trustee Barrett said. And the increase in funding to the board is happening too slowly overall, he added. The goals set out by the Province are good ones. Higher student achievement, including seeing 75 per cent of 12-year-olds achiev- ing the provincial standard in reading, writing and math by 2008, is a step in the right direction. Setting out to create an environment where by 2010 85 per cent of high school students are graduating, is equally ambitious and a good goal. However, there are still many questions to be answered. Too many. Foremost, the local school boards need to know the answer to the dilemma of building schools. A policy is needed from the Province, concrete answers, to what boards should do about many schools. The future of several facilities is hanging in the balance in the mean- time. Trustee Barrett added it will be four years this fall that school boards have been without the needed building formula. It is up to the boards, however, to get in touch with the Province and get a meeting to discuss how the funding envelopes have been shifted and tell the ministry how programs like transportation will be adversely affected now. The boards’ hands are tied under the current setup, but they need to sit down with the provincial decision makers and spell out exactly what their issues are and offer solutions. This Week’s Question: Do you think Fraser Institute and Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) test results are a valid assessment of our schools? Yes No Cast your vote online at infodurhamregion.com Last Week’s Question: Do you think more nuclear reactors in Durham Region are a good thing? To tal votes: 455 Yes : 81.5 % No: 18.5 % LETTERS TO THE EDITOR New nukes not the way to go for variety of reasons To the editor: Re: ‘Nukes a reliable energy source’, editorial, June 14. Nuclear energy is the most expensive, unreliable and dangerous source of energy, as well as being environ- mentally unfriendly. We are still paying down the debt from the previous venture. The Pickering station con- stantly needs repairs and often one or more reactors are shut down due to prob- lems. There can be accidents with catastrophic conse- quences. The storage of nuclear waste is also a serious prob- lem that has not been solved yet. Until that problem alone has been solved, there should be no more nuclear reactors built. There are much better al- ternatives available that are widely used in other coun- tries, such as wind power, solar power, high efficiency coal powered plants. We should investigate those methods and also stress conservation of en- ergy before considering new nuclear power plants. Renate Roy Ajax Are non-householders also composting, reader asks To the editor: I do not have a problem with recycling, it is a good move, (this household has been recycling and com- posting for years). But I wonder how much of the burden is being put on the householders alone. So far I have heard nothing about how condos, apart- ments, food chains or res- taurants are handling this. What onus is being put on these areas to pull their weight? I also think $1.50 per extra bag is steep. For anyone moving hous- es this can be an enormous extra expense. Kathleen Slater Ajax Waste from energy simply means more pollution for us all To the editor: Energy from garbage, that’s what the Region of Durham has decided on. Do you know that means incineration? After recycling and com- posting they will burn all the plastic, Styrofoam and toxic junk that’s left polluting our air and still have a very toxic ash to send to landfill. Do your children suf- fer from asthma? Mine do. Why? I say build a sorting fac- tory and take out everything usable, then have a cleaner landfill close to home, re- ducing transportation pollu- tion. Spare your children’s lungs. Please speak up. Call Durham Region’s di- rector of waste management, at 905-668-7711, ext. 3464. Or e-mail mirka. januszkiewicz@region.dur- ham.on.ca.

Pickering’s Council has en- dorsed 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 Man- agement Master Plan for Frenchman’s Bay and its contributing watersheds. This is to address long-standing concerns regard- ing 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 Region Conservation Authority as a Class Environ- mental Assessment. The first Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held on June 27, 2006 at the Pickering Public Library in the Auditorium. We invite you to attend the PIC to review dis- plays, hear a brief presentation and provide information and/or comments on the development of the stormwater management plan.

While he’s had some bumps in his first term, Mayor Ryan has begun to work more co-operatively with other levels of govern- ment and has proven him- self to be an effective leader for Pickering. He has been quiet at re- gional council. At tendance: Council 22/22, Executive committee 15/16, Region 29/36 Expenses: Local $14,098 Region $1,009.22 Productive year has paid off in Pickering Council has been vocal on Seaton and delivering economic activity What a difference 12 months can make in political life. That’s ever so true in Pickering where, when the News Advertiser last published its municipal Report Card a year ago, the City was finishing a period marked by lawsuits and controversy. But, the last year has delivered a more busi- ness-like approach, more developments and more optimism for the city for the weeks and months ahead. Certainly, many things do remain the same, such as outstanding issues with a potential airport. And, the Seaton lands continue to dominate talk, even if a shovel has still not hit the ground in the country’s longest-discussed community. Seaton will continue to be the biggest issue for the city as it moves into the years ahead. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs last month finally released its final plan for the lands, bringing construction for the community of up to 70,000 people nearer than ever before. In the past year, the City has continu- ally argued that the Province has to deliv- er dollars and resources as construction begins on the community. That message will need to be reiterated and reinforced as the provincial election looms a year from now and a new government with new priorities, be it Liberal or Conserva- tive, takes office. The business environment continues to flourish in the city, with the announce- ment of 500 new jobs at Minacs, just one of the big announcements in the last year. In addition, Profit magazine recently de- livered an endorsement of the corporate climate in naming the city the eighth best in Canada for business growth. The last year finally brought a resolu- tion to the nuclear alerting sirens issue, and it delivered the much-needed expan- sion of Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. On the flip side, Pickering faces im- mense budget pressures moving for- ward as assessment growth continues to stagnate, and council will have to face tough decisions to bring in tax increases that are fair and measured for residents. Council members would be showing great leadership to that end if they could finally reduce the excessive expenses charged to residents each year. They continue to outpace all other municipalities in Durham. And, Pickering should finally put its fight to have some develop- ment occur in the Duffins Rouge Ag- ricultural Preserve to bed. The issue has taken up too much of its time, and it seems quite clear that the Province has no intention of changing course regarding its plans for the area. On top of everything else, many local environmentalists are not with the City on the issue. Individually, Dave Ryan continues to show more confidence in the mayor’s chair as his first term nears completion. The ranking in Profit magazine is no doubt due in large part to the mayor’s focus on strengthening, improving and attracting new business during his man- date. His leadership style continues to be that of a clear and consistent voice. Pickering continues to be ably served by its regional councillors. Maurice Brenner remains a steady influence, even if he’s not as vocal as in the past. It will be interesting to see if the recent fraud charges laid against him by police be- come a distraction in carrying out his duties. Bill McLean has advocated strongly at the regional level on the city’s behalf with regards to the Seaton lands. He also remains strong on constituency work. Ward 3’s Rick Johnson has finally cut back on his massive expense claims. While the 20-per cent reduction over the previ- ous year is a good start, the $16,000- plus figure he’s at now still has a way to go. He continues to be an active participant and promoter of many community events. Locally, Kevin Ashe at times is a sobering voice on discussions of im- portance, often of- fering a perspective that may have been missed. It would be good to see him more vocal at times.Doug Dick- erson remains a full-of-life representative usually found at just about any city event. But his expenses are excessively high for a local council- lor, especially given he has passionately questioned the expenses of others in the past. As for David Pickles, the councillor continues to be a strong advocate for multiculturalism and diversity in the community. It’s been a solid year politically in Pickering and things should begin to heat up as another election approaches. For its work, Pickering council has earned a B grade over the last year. Kevin Ashe Ward 1 City Councillor Last year: B Coun. Ashe’s strongest quality at meetings is get- ting his colleagues to stay on point and bringing dis- cussion to a close when it has run its course. On the other hand, Coun. Ashe needs to improve on his championing of issues. While his name has ap- peared on several motions, he never seems to have the passion his colleagues do -- except maybe when it comes to fiscal responsi- bility. He is never afraid to voice an opinion, even if he knows it will be un- popular. Att endance: Council 19/22, Executive committee 14/16 Expenses: $9,793 David Pickles War d 3 City Councillor Last year: B+ Coun. Pickles is a dedicat- ed and enthusiastic council- lor. He tries to make himself aware of not only issues in his ward, but also through- out the city. Coun. Pickles is a member of several com- mittees, including the ac- cessibility advisory commit- tee, for which he advocates and tries to raise awareness, such as during budget delib- erations when he pushed to have more money to address capital accessibility projects. His softer, quieter approach to issues and debates can leave him overshadowed at times. Attendance: Council 22/22, Executive committee 16/16 Expenses: $11,704 Maurice Brenner Ward 1 regional councillor Last year: A- Again Coun. Brenner was behind or a part of several important initiatives, such as Sustainable Pickering and Communities Against Vio- lence Everywhere. While he continues to be part of new initiatives and involved in is- sues in the community, some of the passion we’ve seen from him in the past seems to be gone. He is quieter at council meetings and brings forward less motions, although he is still a responsive and hard- working councillor. Coun. Brenner needs to improve his attendance at Durham health and social services committee meetings. At t endance: Council 22/22, Executive committee 15/16, Region 30/36 Expenses: Local $15,566 Region $1,071.10 Rick Johnson Ward 3 regional councillor Last year: B- For years we have advo- cated for Coun.

Garima Talwar is one of the local winners of the 2006 Canada Millenni- um Scholarship Foundation entrance awards, worth $4,000 toward her post- secondary education. The award recog- nizes students for their leadership skills, community involvement, academic achievement and interest in innovation. “The Canada Millennium Scholar- ship Foundation’s entrance awards are more than just money in the bank,” said Andrew Woodall, director of the Millen- nium Excellence Award Program. “The Foundation offers support, guid- ance and a community for these remark- able individuals who have the potential to assume leadership positions in all walks of life.” Garima has been awarded at the local level for her good citizenship, fresh ideas and academic merit. Her accomplish- ments include using dance to commu- nicate her message of tolerance, equity and peace; being co-organizer of Ajax High School’s White Bandana Cam- paign, an annual anti-violence event; going to Ottawa with her Indian dance teacher to teach elementary students about her culture’s dance form; and or- ganizing events for her school’s South Asian Heritage Month. Local and regional awards are dis- tributed in each province and territory based on their share of the Canadian population. National awards are allo- cated to the most exceptional applicants across the country. The Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation is a private, independent organization created by an act of Parlia- ment in 1998. It distributes $340 million in bursaries and scholarships each year.

Launched on Father’s Day, June 18, the department is distributing a survey, available at local community centres, to fathers with children up to age six. The campaign is designed to learn what programs and services would best support new dads. “More often, we’re seeing fathers actively involved in raising, caring for and interacting with their chil- dren,” said Kathleen Piehl, a pub- lic health nurse. “To help support fathers in their role, we’re asking for their input about the types of programs and information that’s im- portant to them.” Surveys can be completed on- line (www.region.durham.on.ca) or mailed to the Durham Region health department, P.O. Box 730, Whitby, ON, L1N 0B2. For more information, call 905- 666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729.

[ Basketball ] Joseph scores 21 in loss to Serbia PICKERING — A Pickering guard led the way for the Canadian junior men’s basketball team in a losing cause to Serbia during an exhibition series at the Global Games in Dallas, Texas on Monday. Devoe Joseph, who starred for the Pickering High School Trojans senior bas- ketball team last season, paced Canada with 21 points and three rebounds in the 98-69 loss. Canada opened the first quarter scoring a quarter-high 25 points on the strength of their aggressive shooting. Canada, however, had trouble holding the physical Serbians off the boards, allowing them to score 33 first-quarter points and take the early lead. Serbia’s aggressiveness continued into the second quarter, and they out- scored Canada 25-19 to take a 58-44 lead into the locker room at halftime. Canada held their own in rebounding, grabbing 22 compared to Serbia’s 21, but Serbia moved the ball better, tallying 17 assists to Canada’s eight. Canada’s offence began to click in the third quarter and their defence clamped down, holding Serbia to just 15 points in the period. Their great ball movement, however, did not translate into points, as they scored only 13 in the quarter. Canada’s scoring woes continued into the final frame as the team amassed 12 points, giving Serbia a 29-point margin of victory. “We could have boxed out better tonight,” stated leading scorer Joseph in a press release. “We were trying to jump with those guys and they were taller and stronger than us. They are an older team, but I believe we are on the right path to qualify for the World Championship.” Joseph is joined on the national junior team by fellow Pickering guard Juevol Myles, who played his high school ball at West Hill Collegiate in Scarborough. Canada’s next game is tomorrow against the U.S. After the Global Games in Dallas wrap up June 24, the team will trav- el to San Antonio for the Under 18 FIBA America World Championship Qualification Tournament from June 28 to July 2. [ Hockey ] Annesley named a top prospect PICKERING — The accolades just keep coming for Pickering Panthers’ captain and Ajax resident Ryan Annesley.

At the On- tario Hockey Association’s annual meeting in Collingwood last Saturday, Annes- ley was named one of the top junior prospects in Ontario. The OHA annually names a player for each position for this award. Others recognized were goaltender Jeremy Dupont of Aurora, defenceman Simon Gyspers of Stouffville, and forwards David McIntyre of Newmarket, Chris Auger of Wellington, and Cameron Wat- son of Cambridge junior ‘B’. The award is one of four major accolades earned by Annesley. He was also named South Conference Defence- man of the Year, an OPJHL all-star, and was selected to the Canadian Junior ‘A’ Hockey League’s Prospects Game in Yo rkton, Saskatchewan. 11 Harwood Ave S Ajax Tel: 905-686-5554 FREE SALAD OF YOUR CHOICE WHEN YOU BRING IN THIS AD OFFER VALID FOR DINE-IN ONLY Dalliday bids Dunbarton adieu After 31 years, longtime Pickering educator set to retire By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — Bill Dalliday admits it hasn’t completely sunk in yet -- that a 31-year teaching and coaching ca- reer spent at Ajax and Pickering sec- ondary schools is drawing to a close. On June 30, Dalliday, 54, is set to walk out of Dunbarton High School for the last time after 19 years of at- tending to all things Spartans, includ- ing coaching countless boys’ rugby and hockey teams. Before relocating to the Pickering school in 1987, he also served as a physical education teacher and coach at Pickering High School in Ajax for 12 years. It’s w ith mixed emotions that Dalli- day’s retiring from a job and a school that’s been an overwhelming pres- ence in his day-to-day life. It probably won’t be until the fall -- the day after Labour Day to be exact -- that it might finally be crystalized in his mind that a long and enjoyable working-life chapter is in the books. “I know that it’s going to happen, but I think it won’t hit me this sum- mer. The first day after Labour Day I’ll be on a golf course and I’ll be think- ing, ‘should I be here or should I be at school?’ On Sept. 4 when I’m teeing off it’s going to hit me -- did I do the right thing or not?” The past week, notes Dalliday, has been filled with tributes from col- leagues, parents and students. The tributes have stretched all the way over from England where friends and acquaintances gained through nu- merous Dunbarton rugby tours also sent along best wishes for his retire- ment. “There are a lot of people who’ve been really nice, especially my staff, parents and kids. Some of the people over in England (on the Dunbarton rugby tour this past spring) did a little thing for me. I’m very appreciative of the sentiments that have come from all these people.” The phys. ed. head at Dunbarton since 1990, Dalliday says it was a fluke that he started what would be a long and distinguished teaching and coaching career in Durham Region. Newly graduated from the University of Toronto’s teachers’ college in 1975 after having graduated from the Uni- versity of Waterloo the previous year, he had just taken a job offer to teach at Centennial Road Elementary School in Scarborough. A brief visit to Pickering High School, however, after seeing a newspaper ad changed his mind about staying and teaching in his native Scarborough. “I could tell that (Pickering High) principal Jim Robb was a man I want- ed to work for. I was impressed by him,” recalls Dalliday. “He took me to meet (Pickering High phys. ed head) Te d Gauder and we talked for a while and things went pretty good. I wanted to take the job, and I’ve never regret- ted my decision, ever. I consider my- self fortunate to luck into that.” Ironically, Dalliday was hired to teach as well as to coach volleyball and basketball at Pickering High. But, soon after, he switched to rugby and football. And, when Robb took over as prin- cipal at Dunbarton in 1987, Dalliday followed him there, where he con- tinued to teach and coach rugby and football, with boys’ hockey added to his plate in the late-’80s. Ruminating over the collection of moments that have made up a 31-year career, Dalliday was hard-pressed to remember one, laughing aloud about one incident that emerged on one par- ticular rugby tour. Alas, he wouldn’t elaborate. He later allowed that having his son, Brent, attend Dunbarton with a number of friends from elementary school was a definite highlight. “He had a slew of kids he grew up with and played hockey with. About 15 of them attended Grade 9 with him and all the parents were excited for all the kids being at the same school together,” he says. “The kids, not just my son, did well. They won an OFSAA (provincial) championship in rugby and they won two OFSAA medals in hockey. The kids are all still famous friends. Being part of my son’s school life and the collection of kids he grew up with was as big as highlight as anything. It was a special time.” Another crowning achievement was continuing the longstanding U.K. rugby tour for Dunbarton rugby teams, including a traditional exchange with the English school Broxbourne, which started in 1979. Not only did it provide Dunbarton players a chance of a life- time to experience rugby in the cradle of the sport, but also to be billeted with a British family and to see the historical sites there. “I’ve had kids come up to me at the end of the tour, almost always senior kids, and tell me that its the best high school experience they’ve ever had and that’s pretty rewarding.” On a personal note, the U.K. rugby tours also afforded him the chance to make and renew lifelong friendships over the years. “O ccasionally, I’ve had some visi- tors (coaches) bring their families and come to the area in the summer. My wife and I plan to go over there and see them,” says Dalliday. Sitting in a small office off one of the gymnasiums at Dunbarton, Dalliday says he’s unsure about his immedi- ate plans as he leans back in his chair and parks his feet on a nearby locker. He hasn’t ruled out returning to the school to do some volunteer coach- ing. “I do intend to do some different things but, for a while, I’m going to be tied to the school in one way or another. I’ll see. I haven’t made any commitments toward anything. “But, I won’t be doing paperwork anymore,” he adds with a laugh. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Af ter 31 years of teaching and coaching, Dunbarton High School physical education head Bill Dalliday is retiring. He spent 12 years at Pickering High School in Ajax before coming to Dunbarton in 1987. His last day is June 30. Reflections on a 31-year teaching career... Some parting shots by Bill Dal- liday, who’s retiring following a 31-year teaching and coaching career, 19 of which were spent at Dunbarton High School: • On today’s student athlete: “The top-end athlete is still the top- end athlete but, in Grade 9 phys-ed, the standards used are quite different than in the ’70s.” • The athlete of yesteryear: “In the ’70s, you could count on virtually every athlete playing school sports. (Former NHL goaltender) Glenn Healy played three sports a year at Pickering High School, and he’s just one example. He wouldn’t be doing that today. He’d be goaltending all year long.” • Education now versus when he started: “For 15 years, between 1975 and 1990, nothing changed (in the curriculum). The curriculum has been redone six times since 1990 with different focuses, evaluation methods and objectives. They’re trying to rein- vent the wheel and it’s resulted in a lot of work for all of us, not necessarily in what you’re teaching, but the way you’re going to teach it.” • What he’ll miss: “I won’t be waking up, getting out of bed, and saying ‘let’s get to it’. Whether I was planning for a team or for classes, I’m working on a list by quarter to eight. Your day is busy, but it’s something I enjoyed.” • His thoughts on the Ontario government-teachers standoff of the late ‘90s, which he de- scribes as the darkest days in his professional life: “The whole teaching environment was so de- pressed -- the kids were depressed, the staff was depressed, it was a re- ally hard couple of years. I sat down with (then-education minister) Janet Ecker at a meeting over extracurricu- lars and I came away from that meet- ing feeling that maybe school sports were done; I wasn’t sure if they would ever come back.” Devoe Joseph Ryan Annesley Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Up and over AJAX — Alex Hillhouse from St. Patrick Catholic School clears the bar at 1.57 metres to capture the midget boys’ high jump title at the Durham Catholic District School Board’s track and field finals at the Oshawa Civic fields recently.

PICKERING — The Pickering Swim Club was in seventh heaven after par- ticipating in the annual Star Swim- ming - Kick-Off Long Course A-B-C Swim Meet at the Flickinger Aquatic Centre in Buffalo recently. A total of 479 athletes from Ontario (seven teams) and New York state (18 teams) represented 25 swim teams. The Pickering club sent 24 athletes to the high-profile event, with many of the swimmers competing in a U.S. meet for the first time. The Pickering Club placed seventh overall (2,262 points) in the team point standings among the teams at the long course (50-metre pool) event.

PA GE B5 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ JUNE 21, 2006 A/P Pickering Village all jazzed up for music fest By Mike Ruta Staff Editor DURHAM — Great music and food for the soul are being served up this Saturday at the Pickering Village Jazz Festival. The only traffic on Old Kingston Road will be walkers, as much of the street is closed off for the fourth incar- nation of the BIA-sponsored, all-ages event. It runs from 3 p.m. to midnight in the village, at Church Street and Kingston Road in Ajax. In addition to music, the event fea- tures food and lots of fun. Best of all, there is no charge to attend and listen to the jazz. “We try to basically promote the local bands,” says co-organizer Shirley Huck. The lineup of eight bands features Swing Rosie, the Ragweed Jazz Band, the Donna Barber Quintet, the Michele Lawrence Trio, the Big Wind Band, the Jessie Roy Trio, Hot Air and George Ol- liver. The music ranges from the classic jazz performed by Ragweed Jazz, to Hot Air, which Huck says plays “a little bit of everything,” mixing jazz favourites with pop, rock and Latin numbers. The action takes place on two stag- es. Away from the stages, a Food Fest is an addition to the event this year and Huck says the tastes range from sausages and hotdogs to East Indian dishes. Ms. Huck encourages those attend- ing to bring their own seating, although some is provided. “We do suggest people bring chairs, because when it gets busy they fill up,” she says. The performance schedule is as fol- lows: Stage 1 (at Windsor Drive), 3:30 to 5 p.m. -- Michele Lawrence Trio; 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. -- Ragweed Jazz Band; 8 to 9:30 p.m. -- Swing Rosie; 10 to midnight -- Hot Air; Stage 2 (at Linton Av enue) 3 to 4:30 p.m. -- Donna Barber Quintet; 5 to 7 p.m. -- Jessie Roy Trio; 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. -- George Olliver; 10 to midnight -- Big Wind.

CD is collection of contemporary Christian music By Blake Wolfe Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — Karen Fretz has led a very musical life. As a member of church wor- ship teams for more than 20 years, she has helped others in expressing their spirituality through song. And now, after many years of growing up around music, Fretz has finally committed both her songs and faith to compact disc for her first pro- fessional recording. “I had done a two-song demo in the past,” she said, “and I wasn’t sure if I was going to do more. People would say that we should do a CD, and we finally did.” Titled ‘Desperate Cry’, the collection of contemporary Christian music features Ms. Fretz’s vocal talent and song- writing ability alongside con- tributions from both friends and family -- two of the songs were co-written by her husband, Matthew, and her daughters, Natalie and Bry- anna, on drums and trumpet respectively, are also featured on the album. “They (the other musicians) are all friends we played with or go to church with,” Ms. Fretz said. Even the recording itself was a homegrown effort. ‘Desperate Cry’ was re- corded, produced and mixed by her husband (Ms. Fretz shared producing credits), at the family’s Walkdown Studio. The album was completed over nearly a year in the fami- ly’s spare time. “It worked great for us,” Fretz said. “If we had a couple of spare hours, we could work on it. It was less intimidating (than a pro studio). The technology that’s avail- able takes a lot of the stress out of recording.” Another advantage of own- ing a studio, Fretz said, is the lack of concern centred around time and money. “When you’re a musician, you can have the doors closed on you pretty fast,” she said, adding that the studio is look- ing to “take on other projects” from local musicians. “It can be frustrating for an artist.” For Fretz, the spiritual mes- sage in her songs is an im- portant aspect of the music. Through her music, she hopes to reach out to fellow Chris- tians who are looking for a more personal approach to their faith than formalized Sunday services. “I’m trying to share my re- ligious experiences,” she said. “Hopefully it’s a refreshing thing if people have gotten tired of church. I’m saying there’s a lot more to faith than meets the eye. Religion is really a personal thing.” Fretz’s work with church worship teams over the years has allowed her to hone not only her musical abilities, but also her performance skills as well. Currently, both Fretz and her husband are worship lead- ers at Victory Christian Centre in Port Perry, where they lead a band of congregation mem- bers in 30 minutes of music one Sunday a month, and coach the musicians who per- form at these services. “Churches give you the op- portunity to do a solo piece,” she said. “You also get feedback (from the congregation) and the opportunity to improve your performance.” In addition to bringing cop- ies of Desperate Cry to church services, Fretz is hoping to get the album into local Chris- tian stores to make it more widely available to the public. The CD has also been sent out to Christian radio stations in hopes of getting some airplay as well. In the meantime, anyone interested in purchasing a copy of the album can contact Fretz via the couple’s website at www.firstkissmusic.com.
