Wa r rant issued for suspect after police discover 24,000 pieces of unopened mail AJAX — Police have issued an arrest warrant for a man who’s gone on the lam after thousands of pieces of stolen mail were found in his rented Ajax home. Derek Sealy, 32, a former con- tract worker with Canada Post, is wanted for theft of mail. Durham police issued a warrant for his ar- rest after numerous attempts to contact him were unsuccessful. Police began investigating the man after approximately 24,000 pieces of unopened Canada Post mail were discovered in the garage of the home he rented in Ajax. Mr. Sealy had moved out by the time the missing mail, addressed to a rural route in York Region, was discovered, police said. A Canada Post communications officer, Keisha McIntosh-Siung, said the mail discovered in the garage was delivered in January. Anyone who knows of the man’s whereabouts is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, extension 2520.

Operation Iowa, carried out from April 10 to 27, resulted in the seizure of an estimated $45,000 worth of drugs and 10 guns. The three handguns and seven rifles were discovered when po- lice searched a home on Brook- shire Square in the wake of a substantial drug seizure April 18. Four members of the same family face numerous charges. Sergeant Gerry Moote of 19 Di- vision in Pickering said an alarm- ing number of people picked up by police for offences turned out to be free on some form of re- lease, often with court-imposed curfews or other prohibitions. “Obviously they don’t take (court orders) seriously,” Sgt. Moote said. “We’ll revisit it again,” he said of the blitz. “It yields results.” During the operation’s two- week span cops seized drugs including marijuana, crack and powder cocaine, ecstasy, heroin and other drugs worth an esti- mated $45,561, as well as $9,000 in cash. S ome accused were caught engaging in the same criminal activity that had led to earlier ar- rests and the imposition of bail conditions, Sgt. Moote said. “One fellow was breaching his (bail) recognizance five different ways,” he said. The accused man, arrested for selling the pain killer Oxycontin April 10, had been arrested for trafficking on March 2 and sub- sequently released on bail, Sgt. Moote said.

More than 60 people packed into the commit- tee meeting room at Regional headquarters on May 2 to hear the impassioned delegation made by Eva Martin Blythe, the executive director of the YWCA Durham, which operates the Oshawa hostel. “I am here to speak on behalf of the thousands of women and children for whom we have been a respite for more than 25 years in their frequently tumultuous lives,” Ms. Blythe said. She asked council not to provide a “Band-Aid for a hemor- rhaging situation”, but to help pursue the kind of funding Adelaide House needs to operate long- term. In 2006 Adelaide House provided emergen- cy accommodations for 1,144 individuals of which 154 were children. She explained Adelaide House operates on a 24-hour schedule with three shifts a day. Housing workers provide crisis intervention, referrals, support and more for up to 64 women and children. “That number increases to as many as 79 when one factors in the third-floor interim or tran- sitional-housing residents,” she said. “Working conditions in the YMCA Adelaide House hostel are not the best.” There is a need to not only find more money to fund Adelaide House, but also to hire more staff, pay more competitive wages, provide more ex- tensive and intensive training, and develop more partnerships to enhance services, Ms. Blythe said. A major problem, she said is the inadequate per diem funding. “There’s a proposal on the table to provide us with $100,000 of emergency funds,” she said. “We are grateful, but we need you to understand that will only forestall the inevitable unless we are able to come up with a long-term solution.” She asked the finance and administration com- mittee to consider the Region’s financial responsi- bility regarding the re-opening of Adelaide House and how to execute that responsibility. “No one else in Durham Region does what the YWCA Durham does, but we can’t continue to do that work on a hope and a prayer,” Ms. Blythe said. Following a lengthy closed-door discussion that finance and administration chairwoman Marilyn Pearce called “robust,” the committee passed a recommendation to be considered by Council on May 9. It wants the Region to make a one-time, $105,000 payment to the YWCA Durham from the National Child Benefit Reinvestment program. The money is contingent on the YWCA’s co-oper- ation in a joint review to determine a sustainable per-diem funding level. The Region will also meet with the Province to request it fund the pay-equity requirement at YWCA Durham and that it increase the emer- gency hostel per-diem rate. The committee is also suggesting that Council commit to funding 20 per cent of the sustainable funding needed by the shelter determined by the review, conditional on the Province funding the remaining 80 per cent. But, in order to bring staff, salary and adminis- tration up to where it needs to be, Ms. Blythe said the YWCA would need a $250,000 a year increase in its operating budget. Following the meeting, Ms. Blythe said she would have to go back to her board and see if they are willing to participate in the joint review. “Our concern is what will $100,000 do for us,” Ms. Blythe said. “It will only cover our costs through to the end of August.” “We are grateful for the money, but this can only be part of a longer-term solution,” she said. In the meantime Ms. Blythe said they will con- tinue to pursue funding, like corporate donations and the YWCA’s annual women of distinction din- ner to be held May 10. pickeringtowncentre.com MALL-WIDE JOB FAIR Fr iday, May 4th & Saturday, May 5th Now Hi r ing at 70 stores!

AJAX/PICKERING Carruther’s Creek Golf Club More than 10,000 took part this year PICKERING — Pickering set a new personal record this year with the 20-min- ute makeover. Residents, schools, busi- nesses and community groups took part in clean- ing up Pickering’s litter, with a total of 10,384 peo- ple taking part, surpass- ing last year’s numbers by 1,884. Environmental awareness programs co- ordinator Chantal Whita- ker said the City is en- couraged by the number of people participating in clean-up initiatives. “They are setting a great example for their fami- lies, neighbours and col- leagues,” she said. “Par- ticipants are helping to build community pride, and they make a real dif- ference in how quickly we can get the community clean again after the long winter.” Although much of the trash was picked up on April 20, the City still en- courages keeping Pick- ering’s parks, walkways, streams, neighbourhoods and gardens clean on a regular basis, while dis- couraging litter. “Litter is a problem not only because it de- tracts from the aesthetics of the neighbourhood,” Ms. Whitaker said, “but also because it can cause health and environmen- tal issues, attract vermin, decrease property values, and negatively impact on tourism.” She also said lit- ter is costly since cleaning it ties up staff and mon- etary resources that could be directed toward other projects. If people want to throw a pitch-in-party, the City will provide bags and gloves and dispose of waste collected at the end of the event. Call 905-420- 4660, ext. 5221 for details. Tw enty-minute Pickering makeover makes its mark PICKERING — Dur- ham Region has made changes to the Brock Road closure schedule. Brock Road, south of Ta unton Road and just north of Old Taunton Road, now closes May 11 begin- ning at 9 p.m. until May 14 at 5 a.m. During this time, drivers are advised to use alternative routes, such as Whites Road. to the west or Westney Road. to the east. The road is closed due to the transfer of railway traffic from a temporary railway detour to a new railway bridge. Durham Region plans to complete the work as quickly as pos- sible and appreciates pa- tience and co-operation during the construction.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 4, 2007 durhamregion.com Communities in Bloom instills civic pride Others should follow Pickering’s lead I t’s pleasant to see flowers for sale, nurseries opening up, people tending to their lawns. When you walk down the street, isn’t it nice to see well-groomed lawns and gardens or flowers blooming on a walk through the park? The trash in the garbage can? No dog poop? Every community has the capacity to be an appealing place for people to enjoy. All it takes is a little initiative. And Picker- ing has chosen to make the city pretty by participating in Communities in Bloom for the first time. Maybe this will encourage others to follow its lead. Communities in Bloom, a non-profit Canadian beautification program, lists many different benefits of incorporating it into municipalities. For example, it in- creases civic pride. People will be much happier to say they live in a welcoming community. Along the same lines, it can increase tourism and property values. It’s also something everyone in the commu- nity can participate in. But, the program is not only about pret- ty flowers; it’s about environmental issues too. Pickering has incorporated Communi- ties in Bloom into its Sustainable Picker- ing initiative. It also shows the provincial judges efforts of the business community, local organizations, residents and govern- ment. Residents and organizations are asked to participate in a variety of different ways: from throwing pitch-in-parties to adopting a park. But there are also small things resi- dents can do to keep their neighbourhood attractive. Here are some: pick up after Rover when he decides the park looks like a good place to go; don’t throw litter on the ground and if garbage blows onto your lawn, pick it up; plant some flowers; and, mow the lawn. There are certainly more ways to help out, but if the actions listed above are followed, communities would be much more appealing. Like anything, if every- one pitches in just a little bit, it will make a big difference. It’s nice to see people work together for a common cause. At the Communities in Bloom launch, for example, people from all walks of life together created large flower planters. With all of the different views on various issues in communities, people must be able to agree on one thing: a clean community is an inviting one. And, isn’t it rewarding to look at some- thing beautiful and say “I helped it look that way. Kristen Calis’s column ap- pears every third Friday. E-mail kcalis@durhamregion.com.” Kristen Calis staff writer Use caution to avoid scams Residents should always be weary of scams, but even more so as warmer weather approaches and more people start soliciting door-to-door. From e-mails, phone calls to house calls, residents are being bombarded more and more to make a donation, get a new service or send money overseas to claim a prize. There’s never a shortage of scams out there. The latest one targets landlords from a third party representing a Nigerian student who will be arriving to attend classes at Durham College. Fake cheques are sent and overpayments are to paid back to the fake student. According to Durham Region Police the top five scams in Ontario are loan telemarketers, credit repair, motor vehicle repairs, movers and home repairs which tend to flourish this time of year. When it comes to hiring someone for repairs or to help move do your research. Almost all the time if a deal sounds too good to be true, it is. While Durham’s fraud squad does a great job at tracking and bringing scam artists to justice it’s a war that can’t be won without the public’s assistance. It’s unfortunate that scam artists have made it harder for legitimate organizations to raise money, but residents need to protect themselves. A good rule of thumb is don’t give out any information over the phone, at the door or through e- mails unless you are absolutely positive you are dealing with a reputable group. Never make a snap decision at the door or over the phone. Take back control of the situation. Ask for literature or a website and do some research and get informa- tion on your own time. There are also a number of groups that aren’t illegal and even have charitable numbers whose real benefits are ques- tionable. Many groups have names that sound like existing organizations so as to confuse the public. It’s not hard to get a charitable number in Canada so don’t let someone use that as confirmation that they are legitimate. Go to the Canadian Revenue Agency charitable website and do some research, especially look at their financial statements. You will find many spend a lot more on themselves than they do the people who are supposed to be benefitting. Don’t only protect yourself. Make sure you understand that the elderly are vulnerable, and we have to make sure to pro- tect them. Scam artists are busy looking at new and creative ways to take our money, but if we use common sense and caution we can help turn the tide on this epidemic. Protecting women and children ‘an essential service’ To the editor: Re: Adelaide House hostel closing. It is an awful thing to see politicians playing politics with the least fortunate in the community. Closing the YWCA’s emergency hostel has removed an important and unfortunate need in our community. The hostel provides shelter and the necessities of life for up to 65 women and children who are in critical need. Regional Council, The Government of Ontario, and The Government of Canada should not have the option of deciding how much each has to pay for the protection of women and children. If anything should be an essential service, this is it. While the old boys and girls sit around pointing fingers and building their future in politics the hostel sits empty. Every one of them should walk in shame for this engineering of failure. Allan Williams Ajax Organizers to secure pro speaker By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The hope was a pro-and-con pub- lic debate on energy from waste, a forum for the pub- lic to make a judgment on this type of waste-manage- ment facility. But organizers of a May 9 meeting, organized by the Canadian Auto Workers Durham Regional Environ- ment Council (CAW DREC), say they are having trouble finding someone to speak about the positive aspects of building an incinerator. Dave Renaud, CAW DREC president, explained the public forum was ar- ranged to discuss both sides of the social, economic and environmental impacts of an energy-from-waste fa- cility proposed for Durham Region. “We are trying to take a stance of neutrality on this one,” Mr. Renaud said. “It would be pretty unfair of us to take a stance on one side and that is what we were trying to do here.” Guests speakers, Dr. Paul Connett, with 22 years of waste management re- search experience, John Jackson, program director for Great Lakes United and Erin Shapero, a councillor from Markham, are repre- senting the con side. They will speak about health con- cerns, economic impact, employment and alterna- tives. Despite attempts at neu- trality, Mr. Renaud said he has been unable to confirm a single speaker on the pro side. Quoting an e-mail, Mr. Renaud said he was told the Region will not speak on a public panel on a project that is incomplete. He also said he spoke to Premier Dalton McGuinty’s office, but is yet to hear if a representative is attending the forum. “When you want to do something that is fair on both sides, but you can’t find someone on the pro side it concerns me,” Mr. Re- naud said. Having attended three of the Region’s public infor- mation meetings last month on energy from waste, Mr. Renaud said he felt they only presented the positive side of the debate. “It had you funnelled in a direction,” he said. “Had you directed to an eventual energy-from-waste facility.” Since its mandate is to be involved in projects of an environmental nature, the CAW decided it should or- ganize the forum. “We are a socially con- scious union. We are try- ing to do what is good for the community,” he said. “No one else was willing to stand up and look at the other side.” Mr. Renaud said he’s still seeking someone to repre- sent the pro side of the de- bate. But, according to Cliff Curtis, the Region’s com- missioner of works, it won’t be anyone from his staff. “We weren’t about to de- bate with the zero garbage people whether energy from waste was viable,” he said. “I don’t really want staff to get into a debate about a coun- cil resolution.” He said everyone was welcome to come out to the public information sessions the Region held to ask ques- tions and express opinions and they will have more op- portunities to do so. “I am willing to educate the public, but I am not will- ing to get into a knock-‘em- out debate with people,” Mr. Curtis said. “Naysayers are coming from a position that they are very passion- ate about, but there’s little practicality to it.” The forum is at the CAW Local 222 Hall at 1425 Phil- lip Murray Ave. in Oshawa. The doors open at 6 p.m. and discussion begins at 7 p.m. PICKERING 2215 Brock Rd.

School board looks for Scugog replacement DURHAM — While some local municipalities, such as Pickering and Oshawa, are working to- wards possibly eliminating pesticides, the Region is going to look into a Durham-wide ban. On April 18, Regional Council endorsed a reso- lution asking the Province to consider banning pesticides rather than a patchwork of bans at the municipal level. The health department will also investigate a Region-wide ban. “Because some of the lower tiers have moved in this direction we recommended reports be for- warded to local municipalities and local environ- mental advisory committees for feedback,” said Robert Kyle, Durham’s medical officer of health. “So it is out there for public comment. Slowly but surely we will get feedback.” The reports detail facts and figures of what is happening elsewhere in Ontario and include an evaluation of Toronto’s pesticide ban. According to Dr. Kyle, there needs to be some uniformity across the Region in regards to pes- ticide use. But, there also is a need to be clear political direction from council in regards to what role the health department would assume if a Re- gional pesticide use bylaw was put into place.

Special occasion safety cards are being handed out at various businesses where students rent tux- edoes, have hair appoint- ments and purchase flow- ers. The message reminds teens that drugs and al- cohol on prom night can affect the outcome of this special event. “It’s common for youth of this age group to feel the need to fit in with peers and (they) may par- ticipate in risk-taking be- haviours such as alcohol abuse to feel more confi- dent in social situations,” explained Becky Harper, a public health nurse with the health department. A Safer Partying Kit for Parents of Young Adults is also being offered. The kit includes tips, low-risk drinking guide- lines, mocktail recipes and more. “High school gradu- ation and prom are two significant events in the lives of young adults, and it’s important for par- ents to acknowledge that they play a crucial role in the decisions made by their son or daugh- ter,” added Ms. Harper.

On April 16, council ap- proved a licensing fee in- crease to $60 from $41.25 per event starting in July. Pickering issues licences to 44 charity organizations. Under a new provincial bingo revenue model, li- censing fees are no longer tied to the prize board. Now municipalities have to de- velop a new licensing fee structure. Under the previous rev- enue model, municipalities could charge up to three per cent of the $5,500 prize board for licensing fees. The City of Pickering charged .75 per cent, the average fee costing $41.25. Over the past five years, the price didn’t rise at all. Wa rd 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean said that might not have been the best idea at the time. “It’s like having a zero-per cent tax increase,” he said in an interview. “It catches up to you.” Coun. McLean, who sits on the Museum Village Advisory Committee, said he sees how hard charities work and said their pri- mary means of fundraising is through bingo. It’s why he was opposed to a pro- posed yearly increase of 25 per cent of the fee until it reaches the maximum rate of $165. Instead, council agreed that the situation will be reviewed annually, and a possible increase will stem from there.

By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM — New funding by the provincial government will help re- duce hospital wait times, officials say. The provincial government an- nounced it is investing $281.8 million in various hospitals in 2007 and 2008, resulting in 465,149 procedures. The funding will go to increasing care in five key areas: total hip and knee joint replacements; cataract surgeries; car- diac procedures; cancer surgeries; and MRI and CT exams. The funding is part of the government’s big plan for public health care: to keep Ontarians healthy, reduce wait times and provide better access to doctors and nurses. The money is distributed through- out various Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs), which plan, inte- grate and fund local health services in specific geographic areas. Lakeridge Health Oshawa is receiv- ing $4.3 million for the categories mentioned above, with the bulk of the money going toward 280 more hip and knee replacements, 1,091 more cata- ract surgeries, and 175 additional can- cer surgeries. Rouge Valley Health System (fund- ing for both Ajax Pickering and Cen- tenary locations) received a total of $5.5 million. Notable funding includes 270 more hip and knee replacements, 5,395 extra cardiac procedures and 92 more cancer surgeries. In November, 2004, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care George Smitherman announced Ontario’s Wait Time Strategy, designed to im- prove waits by increasing care in the five key areas listed above. According to a ministry press release, the gov- ernment has invested more than $895 million for about 1,270,000 additional procedures. “This is the next step in that process,” said Foster Loucks, Central East Local Health Integration Network chairman of the board. He said the strategy to reduce wait times not only gives hospitals money, but “it’s also to open up the process so the public has more knowledge.” On the wait times website, www.on- tariowaittimes.com., patients can see how long they have to wait for an op- eration by entering the type of surgery they require and choosing a location or entering a postal code. They can then choose which hospital they would like to use for the surgery. “People will be able to make more choices,” Mr. Loucks said. $24 .99 4!8 1SPVE4Q P O T P S Restaurant & Ba n q u e t H a l l Restaurant & Ba n q u e t H a l l This Passport includes: • 4 - BUY ONE 18-HOLE GREEN FEE with a power cart rental at regular price, RECEIVE ONE GREEN FEE FREE • 4 - BUY TWO 18-HOLE GREEN FEES at regular price and RECEIVE A POWER CART RENTAL FREE. • 4 - BUY TWO 18-HOLE GREEN FEES and TWO POWER CART RENTAL at regular price and GET TWO GREEN FEES FREE. • 4 - BUY FOUR 18-HOLE GREEN FEES at regular price and GET TWO POWER CART RENTALS FOR FREE. • 4 - BUY ONE BUCKET OF RANGE BALLS and RECEIVE A SECOND BUCKET of equal value FREE. *See descriptions and terms & conditions at www.passporttosavings.ca While supplies last 24 99$ The News Advertiser has acquired terrifi c deals from leading local merchants offering discounts at between 10 and 20 times the original value.

Three teenagers from each of the Durham District School Board’s public high schools were presented with plaques recently in rec- ognition of their commitment to the com- munity and ability to inspire peers. The awards were presented in partnership with the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation. “The students we’re honouring this eve- ning have made outstanding contributions to their schools or community or have inspired others through examples,” said Lisa Mil- lar, superintendent of education, Pickering schools, during the awards presentations. From Oshawa’s G.L. Roberts Collegiate and Vocational Institute, Christine Younie said it was an honour to receive her award. The Grade 11 student is involved with stu- dent council as an athletic representative, is a Saturn Camp counsellor, and chairwoman of the youth advisory committee in the south Oshawa community centre. “It’s a great honour and I’m very pleased to have it and it’s very exciting for me,” said Christine in an interview following the award presentation. “This one’s special because it’s an all-around award for everything, just character and charisma and everything else all bunched into one.” Stephen Kerr of J. Clarke Richardson Col- legiate in Ajax was recognized for keeping excellent academics despite a learning dis- ability. He’s also involved in athletics, clubs and programs. “I’ve spent the last four years at high school and I’ve been working extracurricu- lar, doing the breakfast club in the morning; I started that up,” said Stephen, and added the breakfast club involves working in the cafeteria and serving food to kids. “(The award) is very special to me because it shows I’ve earned a right in the school to be recognized for what I’ve done and it feels really good to be recognized for what I’ve achieved.” Katrina Brailsford was one of Whitby’s An- derson Collegiate and Vocational Institute students recognized. “Katie is an exceptional role model and exemplary leader who has played a vital role in many of Anderson’s Culture of Peace initiatives and campaigns,” said Ms. Millar in introducing the award winner. “She led the White Ribbon Campaign, the Fostering Hope Campaign, the Gay Straight Alliance, and volunteers at St. Vincent’s Kitchen with the outreach team.” From Pickering’s Dunbarton High School, Kerri Ford is involved with the school’s ath- letic association, leadership camp commit- tee, and acts as chairwoman for many school events. She’s also a youth promoter for the Starlight Foundation and spokeswoman and mentor for Kids Care. “She recently received the Henry Hamp- ton International Award for a documentary created for Kids Care,” said Ms. Millar. “Kerri will attend the paramedic program at Flem- ing College next year to pursue her commit- ment to helping others.” Among Cartwright High Schools students, Joshua Shullman’s hard work and improve- ment helped him get noticed. “He is a leader in the group,” said John Bowyer, superintendent of education, Ajax schools. “Josh is a quiet, composed indi- vidual whose presence is felt more by the example he sets and his willingness to put in the time necessary to complete any and all assignments.” Josh also plays in the school’s concert band.

Even with the smallest of balconies, you can create a garden that suits your style - 25 fl oors high. Make the most of your balcony this year with these tips from The Home Depot Canada: Check your housing pol- icies. First check the building’s balcony policies before cre- ating your garden to avoid trouble down the road. Consider microclimate. Climate plays a signifi - cant role in determining what is best suited for growing on your balcony. Observe how much sun your balcony receives and for how long. Pay atten- tion to wind strength. If the sun or wind is too strong, consider building a barrier to protect the plants. Choose your garden type. Determine what plants to grow on your balcony. Fresh herbs? Produce? Sweet-smelling fl owers? There are countless possi- bilities. Be realistic with the amount of space available and choose plants appro- priately. Incorporate design. Consider the view of the balcony from inside before committing to a design. Use a large plant, water fountain or trellis as a fo- cal point and incorporate upward growing plants or hanging baskets to utilize vertical space. Go lightweight. Avoid heavy containers as they can add dangerous weight to the balcony’s structure. Select light- weight containers instead. Many lightweight contain- ers come in a variety of fashionable colours and are made to resemble clay. Relish the landscape. Remember to leave room for patio furniture and people so you can en- joy the new view.

At its April 19 meeting, the City of Pickering decid- ed to write a bylaw banning elections signs on public boulevards or property within the city. Pickering requested that Durham Region implement a similar ban on Regional boulevards and intersec- tions. Regional staff said elec- tion sign clutter was par- ticularly evident during the 2006 municipal elections and some areas had more signs pop up than ever be- fore. It created serious sight restrictions for motorists, sign vandalism and litter problems. “The intent is to keep signs out of landfills,” Pickering Councillor Bill McLean explained. A report from the Re- gion’s works department supports the concept of an overall ban of election signs on Regional property. “It would eliminate most of the safety and litter is- sues seen in 2006 and al- leviate the need to allocate staff resources to inspect and correct safety-related problems and from picking up discarded or vandalized signs,” the reports reads. Oshawa Regional Coun- cillor Brian Nicholson said it is as though, during elec- tions, candidates can litter to their heart’s content. “There is no reason that when you run for office you need to litter on pub- lic lands,” Coun. Nicholson said. “I think there should be a deposit in place. Why should the taxpayer be required to pay for clean up?” Although he doesn’t support an outright ban, Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said there should be a regulation prohibiting signs within 100 feet of an intersection and regulat- ing the distance between signs. “I don’t support a ban at all,” Mr. Anderson said. “I think it is important that everyone have the same name recognition.” Wo rks committee di- rected staff to look into the legality of a ban, the pro- cedure needed to enact it, what other municipalities are doing and if this type of ban would be seen as unfairly favourable to in- cumbents. “If we are just looking for some regulations to stop clutter I think we can get it in place before June,” Mr. Anderson said. © Tim Hortons, 2007 Tim Hortons would like to thank everyone who participated in this year’s Community Clean-Up.

The meeting represented the local start to a nation-wide campaign designed to bring the plight of the manufacturing sec- tor to the nation’s attention and put it firmly on the federal government’s agen- da. Dubbed “Manufacturing Matters,” the campaign includes a day of action in Oshawa on May 27 that will see workers marching through the city’s streets and a local job loss forum that encourages workers to tell their stories of hardship. It will culminate in Ot- tawa on May 30 with a national protest on Parliament Hill. Citing the South Korea free trade talks, a high Canadian dollar and a newly- instated government rebate program for fuel-efficient cars as examples, Mr. Buck- ley said the government is doing little to combat the loss of “good-paying jobs.” “We are forced to start our own cam- paign to wake people up,” he said. It is a call to action that many local workers may find hard to ignore. Since August 2002, Oshawa and the surrounding area has lost nearly 7,500 manufacturing jobs -- approximately 21 per cent of the manufacturing workforce. Nation-wide, the loss has equalled about 150 jobs every day. The union cited local examples: since 2004, AG Simpson has laid off 223 work- ers; Lear has let 130 workers go in less than three years; the closure of the GM Battery Plant saw 300 jobs lost; Johnson Controls has laid off 315. These are staggering statistics says Carol Phillips, the executive assistant to CAW president Buzz Hargrove. Economists say that the economy is doing really well, she said, “but locally people know better.” Ms. Phillips said the goal of the cam- paign is to raise awareness about the issue and to force a national debate about where the economy is going. “We have to be in this for the long haul,” she added. IT fair coming to town DURHAM — The region will play host this weekend to the largest Information and Te chnology fair east of Toronto. The Metro East Information and Technol- ogy Trade Exhibit takes place at the General Motors Centre in Oshawa on Friday, May 4 and Saturday, May 5. Featuring exhibitors from across the IT sector, the event will also include a number of seminars on such topics as the evolution of information security, how to create a six- figure income career in IT and information security for small business. Those looking for a career in the IT indus- try will have the opportunity to meet with human resources personnel from some of the leading IT companies in Canada and students thinking about IT as a career choice will be able to speak with industry professionals to get a better sense of what the sector has to offer.

It’s the only planet with a Black Dog Pub! Want to do something to stop global warming? Here are 10 simple things you can do and how much carbon dioxide you will save doing them. Change a light:Replace one regular bulb with a compact fl uorescent light will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. Drive less: Walk, bike, carpool or take metro transit more often. You’ll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don’t drive. Recycle more: You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste. Check your tires: Keeping your tires infl ated properly can improve your gas mileage by more than 3%. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Use less hot water: It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low-fl ow showerhead (350 pounds of CO2 saved per year and washing your clothes in cold water will save 500 pounds per year). Avoid products with over packaging:You can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%. Plant a tree: A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. Adjust your thermostat: Moving your thermostat down just 2 degrees in winter and 2 degrees up in summer will save about 2,000 of carbon dioxide per year. Turn off electric devices: Simply turn off your television, DVD player, stereo and computer when you’re not using them will save thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide per year.

Art galleries from Pickering to Bowman- ville recently held a media launch to draw attention to the month and the impor- tance of art museums in the community. “We’re starting to hear a buzz out there ... at the local level about the importance of art in the community,” said Donna Raetsen-Kemp, executive director of Station Gallery in Whitby. “We’re not quiet little places. We’re asking you to look closer at what we do.” Raetsen-Kemp and rep- resentatives from the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington, the Durham West Arts Cen- tre in Pickering/Ajax and Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa gathered at the Oshawa gallery to explain how art museums educate, inspire and preserve. In 2006, the four art gal- leries experienced 170,000 visits, saw 80,500 people involved in educational programs and contacted another 60,000 in outreach programs. Preservation is “the hid- den and wonderful role of the art museum,” said Angie Littlefield, of the Durham West Arts Centre, which will soon have a new home. She brought with her a sculpture by Pickering art- ist Edward Falkenberg, who earlier this year had an exhibit at Station Gallery. Falkenberg is an interna- tionally-renowed artist who has created the O sculpture at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in Oshawa and a metal sculp- ture of a tree at the Pickering Town Centre. She owns the sculpture and will some day donate it to the centre as part of its permanent collection, she said. “Collections are signifi- cant to your sense of iden- tity,” she said. Accredited art galleries can help preserve that iden- tity and collections in the proper environment, she said, adding donors receive tax benefits and know they are adding to the communi- ty’s cultural identity. Raetsen-Kemp brought a clay water vessel made by a local student in one of the gallery’s many art workshops and classes. She said art classes help make art accessible to everyone in the community. In the first three months of 2007, close to 600 people have taken part in classes and work- shops offered through the gallery, she said. Linda Jansma, curator of the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, talked about a work that is part of the gallery’s permanent collection of more than 3,900 works of art. Paper Crown, by Mon- treal-born Jack Nichols, shows a young girl wearing a paper crown and accom- panied by a beaten dog. “It’s haunting,” she said. “We don’t know what the story is.” This work will be the cen- trepiece in a new display of permanent works this sum- mer, a collection of works that “make us slightly un- comfortable for no real rea- son,” she said. Bowmanville artist Jane Eccles, representing VAC, talked about the ability of art museums to inspire. She told of VAC’s Silken Lau- mann Project, in which the three-time Olympic medal- list will visit Bowmanville this fall, work with children in the community and un- veil a portrait of her done by Eccles. It’s a fundraising effort for the campaign to make VA C fully accessible. Eccles said the project grew from the portrait she did of Laumann and is de- signed to bridge the gap be- tween sports and art. Eccles also talked about Joan Murray, who, when she was director of the McLaughlin Gallery, saw Eccles’ work and told her to get an exhibit ready for the gallery. That first exhib- it was in 1988 and Eccles hasn’t looked back since. “Galleries are absolutely essential for the arts com- munity in this area,” she said. The four galleries have produced a brochure which outlines the exhibits going on for the rest of the year and various education pro- grams available. The bro- chures are available at all Durham Region tourism locations and the galleries. To celebrate Internation- al Museum Day on May 18, the McLaughlin Gallery is giving free guided tours of its current exhibitions at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The gallery is located on Queen Street, behind City Hall. Walter Passarella/ News Advertiser photo Angie Littlefield, vice chairwoman of the Durham West Arts Centre, speaks at a press conference to launch Museum Month. Durham-area museums and art galleries team up to inspire, preserve and educate. ‘Collections are significant to your sense of identity.’ ANGIE LITTLEFIELD Lower Back Ta tti opens for Glass Tiger tonight WHITBY — Local band Lower Back Tatti is opening for Glass Tiger at Johnny B’s Friday night, May 4 The group, made up of Johnny Gregson, Eoin Mc- Guirk, Andrew Creelman and Chris Meringer, will take the stage at 10 p.m. at the night club, 75 Consumers Dr., in advance of Glass Tiger (Don’t Forget Me When I’m Gone). Rod Knight, manager for Glass Tiger, helped LBT get the gig. “We’re very excited about it,” said Creelman. “It’s a bigger audience that we’ll be playing to.” He said the band hopes the opening will open a few doors for the band, which will be recording a four-song album this month at Chalet Studio in Claremont. LBT is working with producer Mladen in Toronto. “We hope in June our demo will be done,” Creel- man said, adding the group will be shopping it around after that. “Things have been very productive and we are working on new material.” Durham Chamber Orchestra performs in Ajax Saturday AJAX — The Durham Chamber Orchestra wants to put you in a dancing mood. Directed by John Kraus, the orchestra presents Dance Works in a May 5 con- cert in Ajax. The program is a collection of well-known classical music with an inter- national flavour.

Page 27 By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Trevor Nkiwane will be more than a casual observer of the 2007 Ontario Hockey League Pri- ority Draft, to be conducted over the internet on Saturday. The head coach of the Ajax- Pickering Raiders minor midget ‘AAA’ hockey team expects to see seven of his players and one other local player whom he once coached among those drafted on Saturday. On the Raiders’ minor midget team with a chance to be chosen are forwards Andy Andreoff, Jordan Ramsay and Ian Watters, defence- men Curtis Henderson, Mark Ram- kema, Mike Purcell and forward/de- fenceman Evan Haga-Wozney. One other player, Colton Kennedy, was eligible to play minor midget, but opted to play up at the major midget level this past season. To say Nkiwane’s excited at the prospect of seeing his players cho- sen to an OHL squad is an under- statement. “Most definitely, I’ll be glued to the computer. I’ll be watching for not just the kids on my team, but also some of the kids who played on my summer team. It will be interesting to see where they all go.” But, most of all for Nkiwane, it’s the pride of seeing the players’ growth over the year. “I’ve coached this group for four years, coached them since peewee and just to see the change in them from kids to young men and having a chance to pursue hockey careers is a source of pride for me.” Nkiwane notes it may be poten- tially the most players drafted from one team in the Raiders’ organiza- tion into the OHL in a long while. “Definitely, it’s the most kids on one (Raiders’) team for an OHL draft in the last five years,” he says. Heading the list of possible OHL draftees is Kennedy, a strapping 16- year-old forward who’s a potential first-round selection. “He’s a phenomenal skater who has a great shot and is a big, strong kid at 6-foot, 1-inch,” says Nkiwane. “He has all the intangibles, great vi- sion on the ice, great hands and bal- ance.” In terms of the Raiders’ minor midget players, Nkiwane says he’s heard Andreoff, Ramsay and Ram- kema are all solid middle-round prospects, while Purcell, Watters, Henderson and Haga-Wozney could go from the middle to the later rounds of the draft. But, Nkiwane cautions nothing is certain at the OHL draft until the names pop up on the screen. This past season was a solid one for the Ajax-Pickering minor midget Raiders. The team finished in sec- ond place in the ETA (Eastern ‘AAA’) league’s west division standings. In the OMHA playoffs, the Raiders sidelined the York-Simcoe Express in the best-of-five first-round series, but were knocked out by the Whitby Wildcats in the OMHA semifinals. In a one-game elimination con- test for the last remaining spot in the OMHA championships, the Raiders played the Central Ontario Wolves, losing 4-2. The Wolves eventually went to the OMHA final before los- ing to the champion Whitby Wild- cats. Several minor midget Raiders could go in OHL draft Whitby school beats Pickering’s Sir John A in DEAA girls’ final By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Last month, the Cadarackque Public School Cougars came within a basket of upsetting the Applecroft Public School Spar- tans’ applecart in the junior boys’ area championship. At Wednesday afternoon’s Dur- ham Elementary Athletic Associa- tion (DEAA) championship between the two Ajax schools, however, Ap- plecroft wouldn’t allow the Cougars to get so close again. The Spartans produced a 27-18 lead at the half, and then kept the momentum on their side in the third quarter, going on a 4-0 run to eventually complete a 44-30 victory to capture the divisional pennant at Bolton C. Falby Public School in Ajax. “They were consistent the whole game. They were really excited to be here,” says Applecroft co-coach Bill Ferguson, who was joined on the bench by Kris Kernohan. With the victory, the Applecroft team brought the first DEAA pen- nant to the Ajax school since 1992. The DEAA victory marked an un- defeated season for the Applecroft boys that, with the exception of the one-point win (39-38) over Cada- rackque in the Ajax area final, had piled up an impressive set of victo- ries by 15- to 20-point margins. Cadarackque coach Andrew Ilkiw gave full marks to the Applec- roft squad, noting their speed and shooting prowess rose to the fore in the DEAA title game. “They’re the fastest team we’ve seen. Their speed was key,” says Ilkiw. “Today, we missed a lot more shots than we did the first time (in the area final). Overall, they played a better game than we did.” Brian Wright led Applecroft with 17 points. Reshawn Wilson was the top scorer for Cadarackque with 10, fol- lowed by Nathan Hussey with eight. Meanwhile, in the junior girls’ DEAA final, also at Bolton C. Falby, Whitby’s Captain Michael Vanden- Bos Public School Snowbirds kept their two-season winning streak intact with a 25-19 victory over Pickering’s Sir John A. Macdonald Mustangs. The final was close through most of the contest, with the Snowbirds ahead by a point (13-12) at the half. The Mustangs clawed back to take a two-point lead early in the third quarter. VandenBos, however, pulled away later in the quarter, leading 23-17 at the end of the stanza. The Snowbirds continued to play well in the fourth quarter. VandenBos coach Chris Dunn notes he knew his players would have to slow down Mustangs’ Ro- chelle Reece in the final half for a chance at victory. The Snowbirds’ Christa Gianatselis drew the defen- sive assignment and performed well on the Sir John A. Macdonald sharp- shooter. As it was, Reece scored 18 of the Mustangs’ 19 points. That said, however, Dunn says it was a complete effort through and through that delivered a regional title to the Whitby school, emerg- ing victorious out of 107 teams that started the season. “It was a concerted team effort that got us the victory. I think the fact that we were able to work well as a team offensively contributed to the win as well,” says Dunn, who was aided by assistant coach Carol Blea on the sidelines this season. Sir John A. Macdonald coach Matthew Cain notes the Snowbirds did a good job on defence in the second half. “They keyed on two or three of our best players and they really shut them down. We tried a few things, but they mixed it up really well,” he says. “The best two teams met in the final and they’re deserving champs, for sure.” Samantha Jones led VandenBos with nine points.

However, what they didn’t know was whether that team’s name would begin with Ajax United or Scarborough United. So, it was on to the final for the S.U. Strikers, but their unblemished record came to a crashing halt as Soula Fradelos scored her fourth and fifth goals in five games to lead Ajax United to a 4-1 victory. Janet Sury and Chantal Malcolm once again found the net to round out the Ajax scoring. Sury and Ferreira were awarded special pink game balls provided by UMBRO as their teams’ respective players of the match. The Ajax United Strikers came into the tournament as defending champions, returning with essen- tially the same line-up that won the first edition of Kick 4 The Cure in 2006. They looked to be on solid footing from the outset, compiling a record of three wins against no losses in round-robin play, shutting out their opponents 11-0. Their perfect record easily re- sulted in the Strikers capturing first place in Group A and a berth in the semifinals. Not to be outdone, the Scarbor- ough United Strikers thrashed their way through Group B. Their un- blemished record put them into the semifinals as well. In rematches of the 2006 semi- finals, Ajax United met St. Leonard of Montreal (winners of Group C) and Scarborough United took to the field in their unique hot pink jerseys for a match against the Scarborough United Panthers (runners-up in Group C and recipients of a wild- card entry to the playoff round). Their 2006 semifinal saw St. Leon- ard shut out by Ajax United 4-0. This year, St. Leonard managed to finally score a goal in playoff action against Ajax United but still came up short, losing 3-1. Sury, Malcolm and Amanda Maclean scored for Ajax. Meanwhile, right next door on the Scarborough Soccer Centre’s other field, the Strikers shut out the Panthers for the second consecutive year in semifinal action 2-0. The big winner of the day, how- ever, was the Canadian Breast Can- cer Foundation’s Ontario Chapter, which will receive a cheque for more than $15,000 from Kick 4 The Cure to put toward breast cancer research. . The No. 1 fundraiser was Chantal Malcolm of the Ajax Strikers, who, by day, is a teacher at Trafalgar Cas- tle School in Whitby. Students at the Grades 6-to-12 school raised $900 for their teacher, while her fellow staff members contributed another $300. The largest amount of pledge monies from any one team came from the Ajax United Strikers, which, as a group, handed over more than $2,000. Second consecutive soccer tournament title for Ajax United Strikers Tr ojans set 15 meet records AJAX — Pickering High School track and field ath- letes were record-breakers and medal takers at a major Ottawa meet on Thursday. The Trojans’ track team sprinted into the record books at the Louis Riel Track Meet as the 38-member squad estab- lished 15 meet records while collecting 18 gold, seven sil- ver and five bronze medals. Katherine Lawrence and Julian Patchett led the way for Pickering High in the midget division. Patchett had a hand in four meet records, while Lawrence had a hand in es- tablishing three new meet re- cords. Overall, Pickering High midget-level athletes com- bined for eight meet records. The highlight of the meet was the relays as spectators watched the Trojans cross the finish time first in all six age divisions, breaking four meet records. Results were: Midget Girls’ Division Katherine Lawrence: first (meet record), 80m hurdles; first (meet record) 100 metres; Rebecca Mendes: first (meet record) 1500 metres; Christine Prince: second, 100 metres; third, 400 metres; Christine Exeter: fourth, 100 metres; 6th 80-metre hurdles; Shanyce Shaw: third, 80m hurdles; 12th, 100 metres; Distance Medley relay (200m/200m/400m/800m): first (meet record), Katherine Lawrence, Christine Exeter, Christine Prince, Rebecca Mendes; Midget Boys’ Division Preston Farrell: third, 100m hurdles; third, 100 metres; Julian Patchett: first (meet re- cord) 1500 metres; first (meet record), 400 metres; Marwan Blackmore: second, shot put; ninth, javelin; Anthony Caterini: sixth, 1500 metres, eighth, shot put; Philip Diedrick: first (tied, meet record) high jump; fourth, 100m hurdles; eighth, javelin; Ryan Lim: 16th 100 metres, 17th 400 metres; Izzy Ogieva: first (tied, meet record), high jump; sixth, 100 metres; Marley Patterson: first, 100m hurdles, second, 100 metres; Alfonso Sepulveda: 10th, 1500 metres; Eric Wood: seventh, 400 me- tres; 12th, javelin; Distance Medley relay Team ‘A’: first (meet record), Julian Patchett, Preston Farrell, Mar- ley Patterson, Eric Wood; Distance Medley relay Team ‘B’: third, Anthony Caterini, Philip Diedrick, Ryan Lim, Izzy Ogieva; Junior Girls’ Division Adriana Allen: first (meet re- cord) 100 metres; first, (meet record) 400 metres; Marissa Smith: seventh, 80m hurdles; 14th, 100 metres; Galenell Sinclair: fifth, 80m hurdles, third, 100 metres; Melody Lee: fourth, 100 me- tres; ninth, 80m hurdles; Celeste Chandler: second, 80m hurdles; 10th, 100 metres; Distance Medley relay: first (meet record), Melody Lee, Celeste Chandler, Galenell Sin- clair, Adriana Allen; Junior Boys’ Division Brandon Wilson: first (meet re- cord) high jump; second, 100m hurdles; fourth, 100 metres; MacKenzie Moseley: first (meet record) 100m hurdles; 12th, 100 metres; Caileb Downey-Brown: second, 100 metres; seventh, 400 me- tres; Kamayu Duggan: fourth, 100m hurdles; 10th, 100 metres; A.J.

FREEHOLD QUALITY ONE LTD., Brokerage Independently Owned and Operated For More Open Houses See Page 33 The next time your mortgage is coming up for renewal, get yourself to the nearest computer. When it comes to researching mortgage options there’s no better way to go than the convenience and speed of the Internet. While many customers still prefer to complete their loan transaction in a face-to- face environment, the inception and success of the “virtual bank” in Canada has quickly started to change consumer perception about how and where to get a mortgage. Consider these three reasons to click your way to your next mortgage: 1. Online prices are up-to-date and easy- to-fi nd. Mortgage rates are relatively easy to fi nd, and easy to compare to the quotes on other sites. Rates are usually updated just as soon as they change so there’s little fear of receiving out-of-date information. 2. The best rates are often posted online. Because online vendors don’t have to carry the costs of maintaining retail lending facilities (branches), including the commissions paid to loan offi cers, the cost savings are generally passed on to borrowers. 3. 24/7 access. You can make inquiries or do mortgage research online anytime, day or night.
