By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — Transit service could come to a halt in Durham as early as Oct. 5. The Canadian Auto Work- ers (CAW) union, representing Durham Region Transit (DRT) workers, and management have not had much success negotiat- ing the first collective agreement since Durham transit systems merged. “We are just too far apart; we think their proposals will cost the Region too much money,” said Garth Johns, Durham’s commis- sioner of human resources. “And they likely think we are being cheap.” Both parties came to the bar- gaining table on May 23 with extensive proposals after local transit systems merged to create DRT Jan. 1. Unit chairman John Johnson said the two sides remain far apart on the issues of employee benefits, cost of living adjust- ment, paid education and part time jobs. “So far, we are still pretty far apart,” Mr. Johnson said. “They still are not willing to move on any of the items, so basically talks have been fruitless.” There are three dates left to bargain: Sept. 26, Oct. 3 and 4. But, barring a fair and equitable collective agreement, Mr. John- son said the union is prepared to strike. “It is getting to the point that it has gone on so long, we have to get a collective agreement, that is what the bargaining process is all about,” Mr. Johnson said. “Hope- fully we can come to a collective agreement without service dis- ruption.” A strike would basically shut down transit service across the region with the exception of Whitby, where workers have an existing contract and are not part 980 Kingston Road, Pickering Between Liverpool Rd. & Whites Rd.

I’ve been waiting for this for so long’: chief By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — With the ap- proval of a $1.4 million addition, Pickering’s fire chief will soon be able to return to fire services headquarters. Fire Chief Bill Douglas, and the administration department, has been working out of the Pickering Civic Complex for more than a year because the space was too cramped in the Bayly Street headquarters. The building was built nearly 40 years ago and has never had any renovations or additions. It currently isn’t big enough to handle the headquarters for a fire department serving a popu- lation the size of Pickering, said Chief Douglas. “It was really not meant for the type of headquarters we have now,” he said. When it was first built, four fire- fighters used the station whereas today there could be nine or 10 on duty – not to mention admin- istration. The project will see a new 5,200 square foot administration wing added to the building, which will include offices, a training room, kitchen and a boardroom.

And, that interest will likely grow, according to Dave Merriman, a con- sultant, as the regions of Durham and York get clos- er to choosing a site and announcing the short list of locations in February 2007. In June, Durham Re- gional Council endorsed a recommendation that the thermal treatment of waste and recovery of energy be the preferred alternative to landfilling the region’s waste. A series of recent public meetings in Bowmanville, Ajax and Port Perry was to inform residents about the site selection process and for consultants to solicit feedback. “The evaluation of alter- native methods is the heart of what we are here to talk about tonight and get your feedback,” Mr. Merriman said. Durham and York, in the spring of 2005, initi- ated a joint study to find a homegrown method of handling waste. Phase two of the study is the selec- tion of a preferred site for a facility, which would pro- cess a minimum of 250,000 and a maximum of 400,000 tonnes of waste annually. Mr. Merriman told resi- dents at the Bowmanville meeting that potential sites include publicly owned lands of at least six square hectares or private lands. He said the expropriation of property will only be considered as a last resort. Consultants will look at the impact at, and imme- diately surrounding, the site as well as the impact on roads, potential effects associated with infrastruc- ture development and on public health, the natural environment and on the social and cultural envi- ronment. “You don’t want to put it in a residential area and you don’t want to put it on the Oak Ridges Moraine,” Mr. Merriman said. Lands on the moraine and in the provincial greenbelt, designated resi- dential areas, natural heri- tage features, prime agri- cultural lands, parks and recreation areas, institu- tional facilities, and feder- ally regulated airports sites will not be considered. According to Mr. Merri- man, between 30 and 40 people attended each of the three meetings. “There were lots of good questions,” Mr. Merriman said. “And a number of suggestions of things we could look at, and we will take those all into consid- eration.” A topic repeatedly brought up was the Wes- leyville site in Port Hope and the possibility of the facility being built there. Mr. Merriman said it is a mothballed Ontario Power Generation site that some attendees felt would be perfect for an incinerator. “We can’t look outside of Durham and York re- gions unless that site has an approved environmen- tal terms of reference,” Mr. Merriman said. To his knowledge, Mr. Merriman said the site does not qualify and On- tario Power Generation has not expressed any in- terest in selling it. During the siting pro- cess, Mr. Merriman said they will consider the pub- lic input from the meetings and suggestions generated at two workshop held with key government agencies.

The addition is also going to open up much needed space in the Civic Complex once it opens and adminis- tration and fire prevention are able to move. Without the addition, additional space would be required at the Civic Complex in the immediate future, and that addition would cost more than the fire addition. Mr. Douglas said this addition doesn’t affect the plan to build a new fire headquarters in the north once Seaton is developed. The low bid of $1.227 million sub- mitted by W.S. Morgan Construction Ltd. was approved by council Sept. 18. With $100,000 for consulting fees and a $20,000 contingency fee, it brings the total to $1.427 million. It is to be financed through devel- opment charges and debt financing.

PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER 905-683-5110 www.durhamregion.comCATCH UP ONLINE AT EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Green spaces, wildlife are crucial To the editor: It has been a source of frustration for me as to why man is so hell bent on always wanting to cut down and built on so so much— other than for their own significance, igno- rance, pride and, oh yes, financial gain. Have they ever considered that these are all but faults and temporary notions. Definitely, we need and require much building and financial gain to a large degree, but why do we always have to go to the ‘enth degree’ by pushing the ‘wildlife/green space envelope’ to the max! For, in the long run, we are destroying nothing but crucial environmental and personal life welfare. Instead of always living in the moment by our feelings, wants, and self gratifications, can we not try to stop for a moment, on purpose, and try to step outside our own carnal man and really consider the importance of green space and wildlife and the significant role these two play in enhancing and prospering the planet on a different level for a change? Have we ever considered that man may prosper and gain financially much more by replenishing than always rebuilding. Please let us keep as much of our green lands as we can.

Fair-minded and God-con- scious people have paid attention to the silent sobs of orphans and the wailing of widows from Afghanistan to the Middle East. The human toll is enormous and heart wrenching. The grief is incalcu- lable as the cries of those mourning for loved ones perished in the debris of wholesale destruction transcends geo- graphical boundaries. One innocent life lost is too many. Life in some parts of the world is suc- cumbing to wars unleashed upon in- nocent people. This is not melodrama or exaggeration. It’s the ground reality of our times. The many current justifications of violence make it painfully stressful, but Ramadan gives us hope. The festival of Ramadan is based on the principles of empathy and sharing. Through the an- cient practice of fasting between sunrise and sunset, there is a purging of emo- tions, surrendering of ego, and an under- standing of human suffering. Ramadan invites us to reflect with deep human feeling on the current situ- ation that has polarized the world into ‘us vs. them’. Most Canadians are insulated from war, persecution, and crushing oppres- sion, knowing them only from movies or TV screens. Ramadan invites us to shed selfish isolation, to open our nerve-end- ings to the suffering of many. Ramadan, therefore, is a good time to act in unison with others in mainstream society whose hearts urge them towards actions that will lessen human sufferings around the world. During this blessed month we are in spiritual communion with the poor of the entire world. We are challenged to strive for a per- sonally meaningful and socially rele- vant Islam. The Islam as preached and practiced by prophet Muhammad, who showed us the way to a deep commit- ment to humankind and a compassion- ate expression of our faith, challenges us not to allow ourselves to be swamped by the noise of religious obscurantism. At the heart of the message of Islam, there is no part of Muslim ritual, from prayer to the pilgrimage to Mecca, that does not emphasize, even prioritize, the collective dimension. To practice one’s religion is to participate in the social endeavour. There can be no religious consciousness without a social ethic. Our focus is on the subtler dimensions of fasting. We all know how in Ramadan Muslims are encouraged to locate the part of themselves which is kinder, more tolerant, less judgmental, less short-tem- pered -- an extremely difficult task, par- ticularly in situations where the details of the day are often aggravating. Through the ages, the lure of fasting has been the exercise of control over our bodies, heightening our mental and spiritual awareness. Our universe ac- quires new beauty, our soul new depths, and our humanity new grandeur. Let’s rekindle the true spirit of Rama- dan by making an effective contribution alongside those of other religious convic- tions to the creation of a world wherein it is safe to be human. Javed Akbar is director of outreach at the Pickering Islamic Centre Focus on global dimensions of Ramadan in our troubled times Too much riding on the line It wasn’t that long ago commuters were hailing the new Dur- ham Region Transit (DRT) as a boon for the region. The fledgling transit system was created to unite Durham Region by amalgamating the previous transit systems under one banner and allowing commuters easy access from one end of the region to the other. While amalgamating the transit systems helped create DRT, it seems the new system is experiencing its first growing pains as it attempts to hammer out its inaugural collective bargaining agreement. Negotiations began back in May but since then there’s been nothing positive to report. Management passed a no board report earlier this summer which would allow them to lock out workers. This may be a normal bargaining move, but to your average bus user it breeds uncertainty. Then in July a final offer was mailed out to workers without first being presented to the union’s bargaining unit. The CAW rejected it outright. Finally, this week the CAW approved a strike mandate which could mean service would be disrupted as early as Oct. 5. The only thing the two sides agree on is that they’re too far apart on the issues of employee benefits, cost of living adjustment, paid education and part-time jobs, to come to a deal. A strike could shut down transit service across the region with the exception of Whitby, where workers have an existing contract and are not part of the current negotiations. But let’s be honest, if DRT workers hit the picket line you would expect Whitby com- muters would be stuck as well. The new contract has to be financially feasible for the Region, it has to be fair to the workers, but consider too all those who rely on the system. DRT was created with them in mind because without users there would be no system. A disruption in service would be the last thing the new system could afford. We urge both parties to reach a compromise before Oct. 4. because there’s too much riding on the line. 637 Kingston Rd.

From Sept. 25-29, the Durham District School Board is having its second annual safety week. The purpose is to both cele- brate and also inform students and staff about the importance of safety. With community partners, the board and its schools will be de- livering events and presentations on fire, police, safety at home, school, work, on the road and in the water. “Whether it’s at home, at school or in the community, safety is safety,” said Gary Gibson, man- ager of health and safety at the Durham District School Board. Mr. Gibson said the idea for safety week originally emerged from the board’s safety and secu- rity committee. He said sometimes they spend so much time thinking ahead, they don’t stop to reflect on the successes they’ve had. Mr. Gibson said they wanted to celebrate those successes and highlight the work that has been done. “I think it was very well re- ceived,” said Mr. Gibson of last year’s safety week. Especially at the elementary level, a lot of the younger stu- dents went home and talked to their parents about fire and other safety plans, he added. Although each school has its own events for safety week, the board provides some ideas for activities they could run. Some things schools will be doing include lock-down and fire drills, essay and poster contests, and assemblies with emergency workers. “A nd the flavour of the week depends on the school,” said Mr. Gibson. Last year, one school started a safety feature that still stands out in Mr. Gibson’s mind. “It was a real simple thing, but one of the neatest ideas that came out of safety week,” said Mr. Gibson. “Uxbridge Public School had a large bulletin board in the front foyer for the front office and they decided that was going to be their community safety board.” He said the safety theme for the board changes each month and added the idea is a great way for schools to connect with parents. Centrally for safety week, the board is holding a number of events, including an in-service for administration with police to discuss emergency procedures, and a safety open house with dis- plays and resources for safety, geared mostly toward vice princi- pals and principals. As well, a lunch and learn for board staff with Durham’s emer- gency management office is set for safety week. The board is also bringing in guest speaker Candace Carnahan to talk about young worker safe- ty. The Halifax resident lost her leg while working at a summer job as a teenager.

And to help educate the public about ATV safety, Durham Regional Police have teamed up with Durham Region Health and other partners to offer a new program passing along safety tips and ‘can and can’t do’s’ for ATV riders. The information session, hosted at DT Power Sports at 8160 Lak- eridge Rd. in Uxbridge on Sept. 28 starting at 10:30 a.m., features dis- plays of ATVs as well as posters and presentations on the subject. Constable Alan Ouellette, traf- fic co-ordinator of Durham Region- al Police’s north detachment, said while patrolling he encounters many ATV riders who are not following the law. Scheduled speakers at the Sept. 28 session include Police Chief Vernon White and Durham Region Medical Officer of Health Robert Kyle. Durham woman recognized for her dedication to students DURHAM — For her contribu- tion to the growth of others, Nancy Stairs is this year’s Bruce Mather Award recipient. Ms. Stairs, a Brooklin resident and facilitator of the Supervised Alternative Learning for Excused Pupils (S.A.L.E.P) program, was presented the award during the Sept. 18, Durham District School Board meeting. She was chosen in recognition of her dedication and commitment to students and in appreciation for the many cur- riculum documents, workshops, agency networking, and commu- nity partnerships she has devel- oped over the years. “Thank you very much for this award and recognition,” said Ms. Stairs. She added she’s fortunate to have had the guidance and sup- port of administration. “I also want to thank my family, they’re here tonight, they often had to take a back seat,” she added. The Bruce Mather Award was established following the retire- ment of the former director of education, who served from 1984 to 1989. The prize is awarded to a staff member or staff team who have made an exceptional contri- bution to the growth of others. NOTICE OF APPLICATION ENBRIDGE GAS DISTRIBUTION INC.

The Ontario Trails Coun- cil wants to set a Guinness World Record by having more than 78,000 people walk and hike simultane- ously on a series of one- kilometre trails across the province. It’s on Saturday, Sept. 30 at noon, rain or shine. Local hike leaders include Al Williams with the Ajax Trails Advocacy Committee and Mandy Walker of the Durham Outdoors Club. The walk is along the Duffins trail, starting at Eliz- abeth Street and Kingston Road. Participants will head north on the trail to its end and then back to the start- ing point. It’s approximately 1.5 kilometres. After fulfilling the require- ment of the world record attempt, hikers will con- tinue south along the trail to Church Street and then back again. The walk should take about an hour. For more information, visit www.ontariotrails. on.ca/recordbreakingwalk. htm. The Regional Municipalities of York and Durham have completed a joint study to identify the preferred method of providing additional wastewater treatment capacity at the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) to service future growth in the urban areas of York and Durham Regions. The preferred strategy is based on a diverse approach, consisting of water use efficiency and sewage reduction measures, expansion of the liquid treatment capacity of the Duffin Creek WPCP and expansion of the biosolids management facilities and upgrading of the septage management facilities on the WPCP site. The liquid treatment capacity will be expanded from 420,000 cubic metres/day to 630,000 cubic metres/day using the step feed activated sludge process technology. Expansion facilities include a new headworks building, additional primary and secondary treatment modules, a new disinfection facility, upgraded sludge digesters, two new fluidized bed incinerators and a new septage receiving facility. The entire expansion will be accommodated on the existing Duffin Creek WPCP site and is scheduled to be completed by 2010. Various technical studies have been completed to identify mitigation measures required to control impacts and protect the environment, including a receiving water impact assessment, on-site natural features environmental impact study, geotechnical review, odour control study and air and noise emissions reports. Located in the City of Pickering, the Duffin Creek WPCP treats the wastewater flows collected by the York-Durham Sewage System (YDSS), which provides sanitary sewer service to portions of York Region (Newmarket, Richmond Hill, Aurora, Markham & Vaughan) and Durham Region (Ajax & Pickering). Population and employment growth forecasted for the existing and future service areas of the YDSS will ultimately generate sanitary sewage flows beyond the existing capacity of the Duffin Creek WPCP. This study proceeded under Schedule C as described in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (June 2000) document. The Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) is a five-phase process that includes an extensive evaluation of the impacts of proposed projects on the technical, natural, social/cultural, and economic components of the environment. This Notice places the Environmental Study Report on the public record for review, which is consistent with the fourth phase of the Class EA process. The fifth phase will involve the implementation of the recommendations. The Environmental Study Report, including supporting studies is available for viewing from Friday, September 22, 2006 to Monday, October 23, 2006 at: Durham Region Headquarters York Region Headquarters Clerk’s Department Clerk’s Department 605 Rossland Road East 17250 Yonge Street Whitby, ON L1N 6A3 Newmarket ON L3Y 6Z1 The Environmental Study Report and supporting studies will also be available at main libraries in Ajax, Pickering, Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Aurora and Newmarket, as well as on the project web site www.region.durham.on.ca/duffincreek. Specific addresses for the libraries are on the project web site. If concerns arise regarding this project which cannot be resolved in discussions with the Regions, a person/party may request that the Minister of the Environmental make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act. A Part II Order can elevate the level of assessment for a project. Requests for a Part II Order must be received by the Ministry by October 23, 2006 and can be submitted by a written request to the Minister at the following address: The Honourable Laurel C.

Durham school board officials look forward to working with former Toronto trustee By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — School boards in Durham are looking forward to working with the newly appointed minister of education, a former Toronto trustee. Kathleen Wynne, MPP for Don Valley west, on Sept. 18 became Ontario’s minister of education. She replaces Sandra Pupatello, who only months ago re- ceived the title when Ge- rard Kennedy left to join the federal Liberal lead- ership race. Ms. Pupatello becomes the new minister of economic development and trade, following the resignation of its minister, Joe Cordiano. To Craig Burch, director of education at the Dur- ham District School Board, the announcement of the new education minister came as a surprise. “I woke up thinking we had a minister named Pu- patello and found out we had one named Wynne,” he laughed. “I didn’t really get to know Sandra Pupatello very much, I think I met Kathleen once,” said Mr. Burch. He added Ms. Wynne’s background in education should assist in quickly bringing her up to speed. Ms. Wynne was elected an MPP in 2003 and was formerly the parliamenta- ry assistant to the minister of education. She has also been a teacher and tutor of English as a second lan- guage, a community ad- vocate for students and parents, and a trustee on the Toronto District School Board. “I look forward to work- ing with Minister Wynne and I hope the lines of communication remain open as they were with the former minister,” said Whitby Trustee Mary Ann Martin, chairwoman of the Durham Catholic District School Board. “I’m sure her experience as a former trustee and the experience she brings to the position will benefit our students greatly,” she added. Trustee Martin said she is interested in how the new minister will address school board funding con- cerns across the province. “We are looking forward to working with the new minister of education to assist us in dealing with the shortfalls in funding,” said Trustee Martin. “This is a great concern for us as we have used all of our reserve funds to meet the needs of our board. We do not want to cut any pro- grams and want to con- tinue to ensure that our students are receiving the best Catholic education possible. In order to do so, we must have the funds from the government.” Mr. Burch said he thinks literacy and numeracy will continue to be a focus of the ministry of education. “I don’t expect there will be any changes to edu- cation to a great extent,” he said, and added it is roughly a year until the next election. “The premier is the same,” said Mr. Burch. “I would be surprised if there was any shift or changes with the new min- ister.” Of interest to Mr. Burch is how Ms. Wynne will deal w ith the Toronto school boards, which are current- ly battling deficits.

Three faculty members and UOIT’s new presi- dent, Dr. Ron Bordessa, were joined by Gary Cu- bitt, chief administrative officer. “This morning I am pleased to announce we have 36 individuals from the Region of Durham and area municipalities receiving their masters certificate in municipal management from UOIT,” Mr. Cubitt said. This is the second graduating class from the program, developed by Durham and UOIT staff and launched in Septem- ber 2004. It is a learning opportunity for people in the management stream of organizations and has a municipal focus in it’s content. The course provides a valuable opportunity for networking, according to Mr. Cubitt. “In fact, the first gradu- ating class has formed an informal alumni club and they continue to meet with each other,” he said. “So that is a very positive benefit in addition to the learning that has taken place.” Participants in the pro- gram had the opportunity to have an assessment of their management effec- tiveness as well as learn leadership and manage- ment skills.

Durham Improv had a successful start this past May, introducing the first round of students to the fundamentals of improv in a relaxed atmosphere filled with laughter. The fall series of classes have two new ad- ditions: Intermediate Adult and a younger Children’s group. The classes utilize games (similar to “Who’s Line is it Anyway?”) and theatre exercises to help the participants begin to learn how to think on their feet, find com- monality and gain confidence. For the beginner class no acting experi- ence is necessary and it is ideal for people interested in trying something new. The intermediate class is perfect for people with improv/acting experience who wish to challenge themselves while learn- ing long-form improv, including musical improv. Beginner Adult (ages 16+) and the Chil- dren’s (ages 6+) classes are starting Sept. 12 – Oct. 17.

The provincial announcement of a three-year funding model, which includes $4 billion for colleges and universities this year and $4.3 bil- lion by 2008/09, came as good news to Durham’s post-secondary insti- tutions. But money for expansions and new equipment is still needed here. “The budget allocated from the Province is going to support us in implementing the budget,” said Dur- ham College president Leah Myers. “Basically we really didn’t receive anything for capital this year.” Ms. Myers said the provincial budget eliminated an apprentice- ship enhancement fund and a col- lege equipment renewal fund, which provided about $590,000 to Durham College for capital costs. She added she’s disappointed in the loss. “It makes us have to look at our operation budgets and see how we can stretch that, which isn’t easy,” said Ms. Myers. This year’s Durham College budget is about $100 mil- lion. Some positive items included in Durham College’s budget this year are the introduction of six new courses, 12 new instructors, a cur- riculum developer, an English-as-a- second-language employee to help students and teachers whose first language is not English, student ser- vices employees and more. She said the college has also been waiting for a three-year funding announce- ment for some time. Of the $4 billion announced for 2006, college funding will increase by $225 million over the 2004/05 base levels, and university funding by $467 million. Ronald Bordessa, president of Durham’s University of Ontario In- stitute of Technology, said discus- sions with the ministry are continu- ing on what funding can be provid- ed to UOIT to help it keep up with demand. So far, he said he’s found the ministry is really supportive of UOIT. As for the amount UOIT will be receiving because of the increase, Dr. Bordessa said he can’t provide an estimate. “It’s very much tied up with the discussions I’m having with the deputy minister,” said Dr. Bordessa. He said it’s hard to say if the in- creased funding allows for a certain amount of staff or projects because the university is new and still add- ing more faculty on a regular basis. UOIT is still new and growing, mak- ing its funding situation unique, said Dr. Bordessa. The hiring of even more staff will depend on negotiations with the ministry and the resources it can provide in its package. “It would be wrong for me to give you specifics on how it will impact us because we don’t have specifics,” said Dr. Bordessa. He added some of the things the additional funding will impact are the creation or resources, space capabilities, and superior students service. Currently, UOIT “desperately needs two or three new buildings,” said Mr. Bordessa. This year, the school had to bring in portables to accommodate students until more buildings are ready. To meet the 6,500 enrolment tar- get for 2009/2010, the school will need about six new buildings, which range from about $20 million to $60 million each, he said. UOIT cur- rently has 4,300 students. More money coming to Durham post-secondary schools School board breaks down provincial test results DURHAM — More girls than boys are meeting education standards, according to provincial test results for Durham’s Grade 3 and 6 public school students. This year’s Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) test results show there is a significant gender gap between the amount of girls and boys meeting the provin- cial standard in reading, writing and math, said Luigia Ayotte, superinten- dent of education and program ser- vices for the Durham District School Board, during its Sept. 18 meeting. The standard is a level three or four, a mark equivalent to a ‘B’ or higher. “The (Grade 3) girls were 14 per cent higher in reading, 19 per cent in writing, and one per cent in math,” said Ms. Ayotte while presenting a report on the EQAO results. In Grade 6, there were 16 per cent more girls meeting the standard in reading, 24 per cent in writing, and six per cent in math. Eligible to write the test were 4,653 Grade 3 students, of which three per cent had English as a second lan- guage or were English literacy de- velopment learners, and 10 per cent were identified with special needs. Of the students who participated in the test, 69 per cent met the stan- dard in reading, 67 in writing, and 72 in math. Of the eligible students, results were 63 per cent in reading, 61 in writing, and 66 in math. In Grade 6, 5,098 students were eligible. Two per cent were English as a second language or English lit- eracy development learners and 14 per cent were identified with special needs. Participant results were 69 per cent in reading, 64 in writing, and 63 in math. Of those eligible, 64 per cent met the standard in read- ing, 59 in writing, and 58 in math. Over the last three years, Grade 3 results for all students eligible went up 17 per cent in reading, five in writing, and 14 in math. Grade 6 results increased by 12 in reading, seven in writing, and eight in math. The Grade 9 math assessments involved 1,644 applied and 3,677 academic students in the Durham public board, with less than one per cent who had English as a second language. In applied, 25 per cent of the stu- dents were identified with special needs and three per cent were in for academic. Overall, 29 per cent of applied students met the standard of level three or four, as did 61 of academic students.

Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Oshawa to build fuel cell Equinox By David Blumenfeld Staff Writer DURHAM — General Motors in Oshawa will play a key role in the production of 100 hydrogen fuel-cell- powered SUVs that will be distributed to customers in the U.S. in 2007. The Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell, to be manufac- tured in part by GM Canada at Oshawa’s Regional Engi- neering Centre, will be able to start and operate in sub- freezing temperatures. Such vehicles are considered de- sirable because they gener- ate no local emissions, and the only byproduct of their conversion of hydrogen and oxygen into electric power is water vapour. “General Motors is dem- onstrating its commitment to hydrogen fuel cells as the answer for taking the automobile out of the en- vironmental debate and reducing our dependence on petroleum,” GM Presi- dent Arturo Elias said. “We are especially proud that through partnerships with the federal and Ontario governments, our Canadi- an operations will play an important role in the prep- aration of the Equinox Fuel Cell which will be powered by GM’s most advanced fuel cell propulsion system to date.” The Chevrolet Equinox, currently manufactured in Ingersoll, Ont., was the first vehicle to be both lead-en- gineered and built in Can- ada. In addition to final in- tegration work for the new fuel cell vehicles that will be conducted at the Regional Engineering Centre in Os- hawa, special cold weather development work will be carried out for these zero emission SUVs at another GM centre in Kapuskasing, Ont. Enabled by GM’s fourth generation fuel cell propul- sion system, the new Equi- nox Fuel Cell is a fully func- tional crossover vehicle en- gineered for a life of 80,000 kilometres. Dubbed Project Driveway, the initial fleet of 100 will go to customers -- including government officials and business lead- ers -- in three U.S. markets where hydrogen refueling is feasible: the New York met- ropolitan area, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. Project Driveway is de- signed to gain comprehen- sive learning on all aspects of the driver experience of the new vehicle, and con- stitutes the first meaning- ful market test of fuel cell vehicles anywhere. The announcement, which comes on the heels of Oshawa’s choice as the site for the production of the new Camaro in 2008, has support from both the federal and Ontario govern- ments as part of the GM Canada’s Beacon Project. -- with files from the Tor- star News Service SAY HELLO TO OUR PIZZAS Buffalo + Blue 13 50 12" Steak + Blue Cheese 12 75 12" Buffalo Chicken Riocan Durham Centre AJAX 202, 135 Harwood Avenue THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 22, 2006 PAGE 23 A/Pdurhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER There’s lots more news online at durhamregion.com Jennifer Roberts/ News Advertiser photo Me and my mom PICKERING — Sheryl Sharpley and her 11-year-old daughter, Lauren Sharpley, jog along Valley Farm Road in Pickering, completing the last few metres of the Terry Fox Run on Sunday.

Ms. Atkinson, who uses a wheelchair, has been getting around via public transit for nine years. She said she is happy with Durham Region Transit, but more can be done to assist people who use DRT’s specialized service. “I am glad we can now travel throughout Durham Region on one fare,” she said. However she asked the tran- sit commission to consider selling books of 10 tickets for DRT’s specialized service. “Giving us the opportunity to use tickets on specialized transit, it would be allowing us another option,” she said. “We wouldn’t need exact change or have to worry about running out of fare money for the month.” Books of 10 tickets offers rid- ers a savings of $1.25, and Ms. Atkinson said for individuals on a fixed income, that makes a difference. The commission referred the matter to staff. Pickering musician honoured twice at Durham Region Music Awards By Christy Chase Staff Editor DURHAM — Pickering musi- cian Larry Folk was the big winner at the second annual Durham Re- gion Music Awards, held Wednes- day night in Whitby. The singer/songwriter walked away with two awards, the only double winner of the night, put on by Durham Region Music Society. “I’m really pleased, very hum- bled too, with all the talent in that room,” he said, after the casual ceremony at which he picked up awards for Male Vocalist of the Year and Country Recording of the Year. He’s been recording music for years, whether it be country, gos- pel or pop. “That’s one thing about not being famous, you can change your style,” he said with a laugh. He’s currently concentrating on writing and hopes for good things for one song, Gathering of Friends. Folk praised DRMS, for the awards ceremony and for its ef- forts to promote and encourage the live music scene in Durham. “We wouldn’t know about each other if it wasn’t for DRMS,” he said. During the show, Folk sang backup, along with Pickering’s Rene Gaile, who won for Gospel Recording of the Year, an award she also picked up last year, and singer Kathy Young for George Olliver, who was named DRMS’s Entertainer of the Year. Folk works with both Gaile and Olliver, who have each recorded his music. Olliver, honoured for his more than four decades of commitment to the music scene, said he was surprised by the award. “I’m very proud to receive this,” he said, adding he will continue to “get out and perform and make people happy.” Last year, Olliver won for male vocalist. Oshawa’s Herb Knox, one of the emcees for the evening, was presented with the Mentor of the Year award. Country singer Garth Bourne, the other emcee, said Knox has done more for music in the area than anyone else. He added Knox is considered “A hero in many people’s eyes.” Knox, a musician, band leader and, for many years, a high school music teacher, is a member of the board of directors of DRMS. “I first started playing in 1946 with a band in Peterborough, Jim Black and the Red River Ram- blers. Everything went down from there,” he said with the humour he showed throughout the evening. “I’m just going to keep on play- ing.” Port Perry’s Last Picture Show, formed about a year ago, took top honours for Recording of the Ye ar, picked up by band members James MacGregor and Eric Gros- venor. Other members of the rock band, Joe Roncetti and Jason Ray, couldn’t attend. “It’s an honour,” MacGregor said. “I really wasn’t expecting it,” said Grosvenor, who said most of the band members have been playing with bands for many years. Whitby’s Cadence Grace won Female Vocalist of the Year. “It’s really important to me,” she said of the award and DRMS, add- ing local musicians helped kick- start her love of music. Her single, Somewhere Togeth- er, is receiving radio play and the video is on Much Music’s playl- ist. Her music has been heard on Disney movies, the TV series Joan of Arcadia and this year will be on an episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation. The evening included perfor- mances by Whitby’s Jo Sorrill, Brent Eikhard and DRMS presi- dent Howard Ross, Olliver and dancers from the Theatre Dance Academy.

Larry Folk has got lots of style Driftwood looking for help to keep its 13th season afloat DURHAM — Driftwood Theatre Group is looking for help to make it to season 13 next summer. While the outdoor theatre com- pany received record donations this past summer, despite the rainy weather, it still requires financial assistance to make next summer’s production possible. A total of 4,682 people in 20 communities attended Driftwood’s performances this summer, with the company earning more than $44,000 in pay-what-you-can do- nations and earned revenue. The average donations was $7.32, up from $5.35 in 2005. Driftwood sug- gests a per-person donation of $15. In Durham, Driftwood per- formed eight shows between July 19 and Aug. 20, with 1,495 people in attendance. Unless the group finds a major season sponsor and show spon- sors for each community, the defi- cit could be $8,000 by the end of September, he said. Donations can’t keep the theatre company afloat, he said. Yo u can also help out by attend- ing Driftwood’s seventh annual progressive euchre tournament on Oct. 13 at the Oshawa Curl- ing Club. Registration starts at 6:30 p.m. and playing at 7:30 p.m. The cost is $20 in advance or $25 at the door. Snacks and a post-game meal are provided. More than $300 in cash prizes are available. To get tickets, call 905-576-2396. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 26 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 22, 2006 SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com THIS WEEKEND The Pickering High Trojans and St. Mary Monarchs open the LOSSA senior and junior football season in Oshawa today (Friday). Juniors play at 6 p.m.; seniors at 8 p.m. Coach’s debut forgettable as Pickering juniors humbled 11-3 by St. Mike’s By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — It wasn’t the kind of junior ‘A’ hockey head coaching debut Pat Curcio envi- sioned -- not by a long shot. The former Pickering Panthers assistant coach, who took over the head coaching reins after former head coach John Winder was shown the door Monday, might have expected his charges to show some spunk and fight against the St. Michael’s Buzzers at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex on Wednesday night. It didn’t happen. More to the point, the Panthers- St. Mike’s tilt proved more than a little embarrassing for the home side, with the Buzzers (5-0) blast- ing a listless Pickering squad 11-3 in OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League action. After playing with some resolve in the opening period, trailing 3- 2 after 20 minutes, the Panthers completely dissolved in the next two frames. The Panthers (1-3) were utterly outplayed and, as a consequence, outscored 8-1 by the Buzzers over that span. The Panthers return to action tonight (Fri- day) when they host the Osha- wa-based Durham Fury at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7:30 p.m. For Cur- cio, he shrugged off his team’s dismal ef- fort, vowing to get back to work at the next available practice session to right so many things that went wrong in Wednesday’s debacle. “No, I never wanted to start on the wrong foot. A couple of bounces didn’t go our way and things snowballed from there,” summed up Curcio after the game. “We have a long way to go. We have a lot of practices and a lot of room for improvement. We ’ll learn from it. That’s why they have a 49-game schedule.” Curcio wouldn’t use the high number of penalties called on the Panthers, 50 minutes to be exact, as an excuse for the lopsided loss. “There are no excuses for the way the second and third periods turned out,” he says. “Hockey’s a weird game. Sometimes it snow- balls. There was no discipline tonight. We know the rules. (Ref- eree Rob Palm) called everything tonight. I thought we deserved all of them.” Panthers’ captain Richard Schofield was similarly baffled by the team’s indifferent play against a St. Mike’s team that, just days before, had handed the Panthers a 4-2 loss in Toronto. Schofield, however, wouldn’t use the coach- ing situation as a crutch. “No one expected it, but it hap- pens. Players and coaches come and go,” he noted. He says the players in the dress- ing room may have been shocked with the coaching change, but he’s adamant the players are committed to the program, and to winning. “Definitely, this team wants to win, all the boys do. That’s what we’re here for. We’ve given up one great coach for another,” he says. The Buzzers scorched the Pan- thers for four goals in the second period, forcing starting goalten- der Marc Stuart out of the net after two periods, giving way to backup Connor Sampson. Samp- son, however, couldn’t stem the bleeding as St. Mike’s struck for four more goals in the final pe- riod before Brett Connolly, with his second of the night, scored on the power play to end the scoring with 2:22 remaining in the con- test. All told, the Buzzers struck for four power-play markers and also slid in two short-handed goals. Greg Riggs netted the other Panthers’ goal. The Panthers travel to Vaughan to play the Vipers on Saturday night. On Sunday, the Panthers play in the annual Governor’s Showcase, hosted for the first time at the Garnet B. Rickard Rec- reation Complex in Bowmanville. The Panthers play the Bramalea Blues on Sunday at 10:30 a.m. The event features every team in the league and draws scouts from across North America. Jennifer Roberts/ News Advertiser photo Headed for the glass AJAX — Durham Fury goaltender Matt Wagner watches as Mark Schiraldi of the Ajax Attack sends the puck at the boards in the first period of their OHA On- tario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League game in Oshawa Tuesday night. The Fury fought back from a 3-1 deficit to post a 4-3 win over the Attack, which fell to 0-5 with the loss. Spartans ball peewees OBA champs AJAX — The Ajax Spartans Noko- na peewee rep baseball team is the provincial champion after edging defending champion Cambridge in the recent final. The Spartans peewees were one of 12 teams at the Ontario Base- ball Association (OBA) Peewee ‘AA’ Championships in Brantford. In the final, the Spartans prevailed 5-4 in a game that appeared headed for extra innings. That was until the Spartans turned an improbable double play to end the contest and give the Ajax peewees the crown. The Spartans turned the un- expected double play when third baseman Dominic Lacroix fielded a hard-hit ground ball, looked the base runner back to third base, before throwing out the batter at first base. Jacob Stone then made a strong throw to home plate where catcher Jeff Martin tagged out the base runner trying to score from third base. The 5-3-2 double play ended the game. Ajax began the tournament by beating the same Cambridge team 3-0. James Doering and Hugh Hill combined to pitch seven innings, allowing only one walk and striking out nine. Ajax then beat Markham 10–7. Eric Rizzo led the team, collecting two hits, and scoring two runs, while slugger Andrew Packer collected an RBI on his third-inning double. The Spartans then handed the Brampton Red Sox their first loss of the tournament, winning 7-3. Ste- ven Sattz pitched a gem of a game, going four innings, striking out five, and allowing only two runs to score. Colin MacFarlane played great at first base throughout the tourna- ment, adding many terrific at-bats. Ajax suffered its only loss of the tournament to the host Brantford Red Sox, losing in extra innings, 7-6. With only four teams remain- ing, Ajax again played Markham, and won easily, 9-0. Drew Knautz continued his hot hitting, record- ing an RBI and hitting two doubles. Waseem Patel and Cody Ferrier also contributed offensively. Patel scored a run and recorded three RBI, while Ferrier scored two runs and pitched an inning in relief of starting pitcher Dominic Lacroix, who pitched six strong innings for the win. With the win, Ajax advanced to the final, to play Cambridge, who earned a berth by beating Brant- ford. Andy Knautz manages the team, assisted by coaches Hugh Hill, Paul Doering and Bill Stone.

The Dolphins’ tykes, atoms and peewee all remain undefeated at 5-0 after Week 5 in the Central Ontario Minor Football League schedule. All three teams demolished the Markham-based York Region Raiders squads at Pickering’s Kinsmen Park on Sunday. Ajax-Pickering teams won easily, with the tykes pitching a 39-0 shutout; the atoms also blanked York Region 47-0, while the peewees closed out a winning afternoon with an ex- clamation point, scoring a 42-6 victory. All three Dolphins teams are in Scar- borough Sunday to play the Thunder at L’Amoreaux Park. In their second meeting with the Dolphins’ tykes this season, the Raiders were improved, but no match for Ajax-Pickering. The Dolphins scored five touchdowns with Morgan Humes scoring two and Spencer Thomas, Raichaun Provo and quarterback Rion Johnson each adding one. At the tyke level, kicked converts are worth three points each and place kicker Chris Tzortzouklis converted on 3-of-4 attempts. Offensive linemen Alfred Green, Jadin Ash-Dawson, Yasean Steitieh, Elijah Bow- man, Malik Nembhard, Tristan Battah-Cruz and Nathaniel Benjamin controlled the line of scrimmage the entire game. Of note on defence was the play of de- fensive end Ed Williams, who scooped up a fumble and rambled 20 yards before being caught by the Raiders’ running back. Meanwhile, in the atom matchup, the Dol- phins opened up a 12-0 first-quarter lead and increased it to 25-0 at the half. Running back AJ Thomas, on a 30-yard sweep, and running back Malik Irwin, on an eight-yard sweep to the left, gave the Dol- phins the early lead. In the second quarter, Thomas scored his second major on a 10-yard sweep. Putting Thomas in scoring position was a passing play between quarterback Damien White and wide receiver Harrison Williams. Later quarterback Michael Stobbart, subbing for White, hit receiver Ben Paterson with a 24- yard touchdown pass. Thomas scored his third major on a 70- yard third-quarter run. Stobbart’s kick was good, giving the Dolphins a 33-0 lead. On the Raiders’ first play of the quarter, defensive back Jacob Redshaw stripped the ball and it was recovered by defensive tackle Rae Grant. Later, running back Keith Cyrus scampered for a 45-yard touchdown run. Keldyn Ahlst- edt ran the convert in for the single and the Dolphins led 40-0 after three quarters. White scored the final Dolphins’ touch- down in the fourth quarter. Defensively, linebacker Michael Belcastro and defensive tackle Tyler Leclair supplied solid play to keep Markham in check. Defen- sive end Luke Farnell had a quarterback sack and defensive back Shakir Lewis blocked a Raiders’ pass attempt. Offensive players of the game were Irwin and wide receiver Paterson. Defensive play- ers of the game were Lyndon Whittaker-Bat- son, with six tackles, and Redshaw. In the peewee game, the Raiders struck for the first touchdown of the game, but it was all Dolphins after that. Ajax-Pickering opened the scoring early in the second quarter as quarterback George Tourloukis scored on a keeper. Later in the quarter, Kurlan Cadet scored on a reverse that covered about 50 yards. The Dolphins led 13-6 at the half and weren’t seriously pressed the rest of the way. Ajax girls lose to Whitby Attack in Durham final AJAX — The Ajax Hornets girls’ under- nine rep soccer team finished as runners-up at the recent Durham Girls’ Soccer League Cup Tournament. The tournament, played in Uxbridge, fea- tured 11 DGSL teams from Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa and Darlington. The Ajax Hornets secured the ‘A’ Division title in the tournament with victories over the Ajax Thunder, Ajax United Avalanche and the Pickering Warriors, and a tie with the Pickering Strikers. The Hornets’ 3-0-1 record in pool play al- lowed them to advance to the final against the Whitby Attack. Against the Attack, how- ever, the Ajacians came up a little short in the Cup title game. Earning finalist status at the DGSL Cup tournament caps a solid season for the Hornets, with gold-medal victories at the Ajax Tournament in July and the Darlington tournament in early August. Te am members are Madison Horwood, Danelle Lindo, Kiara Strain-Goode, Sarah Laughlin, Lauren Pugh, Teanna Thompson, Alicia Gonzales-Mugaburu, Jacklyn Brez- inski, Kaitlin Jewer, Amanda Bernard and Jenna Salvatore. The team’s coached by Steve Horwood, assisted by Randy Pugh. Doug Bernard manages the team, assisted by Sandra Gon- zales-Mugaburu.
