Clarington council had in- structed staff to undertake an ex- amination of all documentation prepared to date on the proposed EFW project, as well as the ad- equacy of the public consultation process. Also, staff was to look at the implications of an EFW plant on the proposed Energy Business Park, to be sited very close to two of the short-listed sites. Staff came back with a list of experts to be hired to complete the study, but they were unable to attach a price tag to the consulta- tion. “I don’t really have a best guess” as to how much it would cost, said Clarington Planning Director David Crome. “O ne of our difficulties has been to determine the scope of the Region’s undertaking ... We can’t turn around and ask for a quota- tion on that until we have a better understanding of the scope.” That’s a problem, said all three TENDING TO HER GARDEN Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Celia Roberts-Hilsdorf spends a lot of her time during the summer in her garden on Spring Hill Drive. The Pickering resident says tending to the garden keeps her fit. No blank cheque for incineration studies ✦ See Region, Page 2 Regional councillors from Clarington, noting the Region had agreed to up- front “reasonable expenses” for the peer review. The Region agreed to “reasonable expenses for necessary studies and legal advice,” said Ward 3 and 4 Re- gional Councillor Charlie Trim, Dur- ham’s works chairman. “We have to have a figure of some sort ... as to what our planning staff are going to do. I’m not going to give them a blank cheque.” Clarington could wind up out of pocket for the money --- which is not available in the current budget --- should the regions not agree it is necessary to spend all that Clarington staff have suggested. “This is a blank cheque that we’re giving staff but nobody has signed it,” said Jim Abernethy who, as Claring- ton’s mayor, sits on Regional Council. But, Clarington’s four local coun- cillors all voted in favour of the staff report, which won 4-3. Getting a Clarington perspective is absolutely key, they all said. “I’m astounded,” said Ward 1 Coun- cillor Adrian Foster. “I’m astounded that we would let the Region tell us what studies we are able to do ... We want a Clarington- centric view ... I would be shocked if the Region would not cover the cost of this.” It’s absolutely necessary to get the information a peer review would pro- vide, said Coun. Foster. “I’ve been very anxious to get the information from a Clarington per- spective,” he said. “There’s no concern that there’s anything underhanded going on at the Region, but I want to get Clarington’s handle on this.” Cost should not be an issue, given the potential magnitude of the project and it’s possible ramifications, said Ward 3 Councillor Willie Woo. “We can’t be handcuffed by a lim- ited budget to do our due diligence,” he said. On May 23, the Region’s finance and administration committee caught wind of the debate that had occurred at Clarington’s general purpose and administration meeting the evening prior. The Region’s commissioner of works explained the scope of studies Claring- ton was looking at might not be exactly what Regional Council had in mind when it agreed to front the cash. “(Clarington) is basically taking a shotgun approach,” Cliff Curtis said. “They want to take a look at every- thing.” In hopes of clarifying what was meant by “reasonable studies” the works committee is recommending to Regional Council that the funding al- located to studies not exceed $200,000. Any amount over that will have to come back to regional council for ap- proval. “A bove that $200,000 if they want to come back with stuff that is reason- able then we will consider that,” said Regional Chairman Roger Anderson. “Clarington is dealing with this on Monday (at its council meeting) and I think a message needs to be sent that this isn’t a blank cheque.” Celebrate National Public Works Week by participating in these activities hosted by the Durham Region Works Department.

Final interviews for short- listed candidates will occur over the weekend and an announcement on the suc- cessful candidate should be made shortly thereafter, said Terry Clayton, chair- man of the police services board. “We should have some- thing by the first of the week,” Mr. Clayton said Thursday. Among the final candi- dates to make the cut are members from within the Durham force, Mr. Clayton confirmed. “There are external and internal candidates,” he said. Observers, including rank and file cops, are watch- ing closely to see if either current deputy chiefs Mike Ewles or Chuck Mercier will ascend to the chief’s office, or if another candidate from within the service will be considered. The search for a new top cop was launched in Feb- ruary when Vernon White, hired amid much optimism in the fall of 2005, an- nounced he’d be departing to take the top job with Ot- tawa police. Instead of hiring a recruit- ing firm -- as it did when the search that led to the hiring of Chief White occurred -- the board opted to under- take the selection process internally. A subcommittee of the police services board re- viewed the credentials of the 20 candidates who re- plied to the advertisements, Mr. Clayton said. Chief White officially re- mains at the helm of the Durham service until June 8. pickeringtowncentre.com FIND YOUR GREEN STYLE Calling all kids and teens!

Instead of responding to the Near North District School Board’s support for a single board, Dur- ham public trustees will discuss it at its standing committee meeting. A letter from the North Bay board included its re- cent resolution to request the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association renew its petition to the Prov- ince in support of one, publicly funded school board. It also included forwarding the decision to all school boards and asking them to endorse the same, as well as to members of provincial and federal parlia- ment, with a pro- posal for a referendum to be called within the year. “I would suggest, my own personal opinion is I would not support this motion,” said Oshawa Trustee Michael Barrett, during the board’s May 22 meeting. He suggested sending Near North a let- ter, saying the Durham board doesn’t support its opinion and believes in hav- ing two school boards. Ajax Trustee Marilyn Craw- ford, board chairwoman, re- minded trustees it’s not just the Catholic school board, it’s also the two french boards that would be rolled into one funding model. Whitby Trustee John Dolstra said he agreed with Trustee Barrett and motioned to send a letter back expressing Durham’s views. But Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper said they shouldn’t just send something off without dis- cussion because she’s not sure everyone would share the same opinion. Trustee Dolstra with- drew his motion and sug- gested the issue be dis- cussed in a committee, possibly in-camera, but Trustee Crawford said it’s not something they would deal with in-camera.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 25, 2007 durhamregion.com Don’t stop at the voting booth I t’s safe to say residents get ticked off with their elected officials. When taxes go up, it’s easy to point the finger at City Council. When a neighbourhood or street is neglected, people usually blame Coun- cil. When a new development is proposed, residents often have issues with possible problems such as parking, traffic and con- struction. So it was nice to see residents at a recent planning and development committee meeting share their concerns when a pro- posed development was about to get the go-ahead. The developer was at the meet- ing and said he’d take the concerns into consideration when making future plans. He even said he’d make some adjustments to the ones already in place. This is an example of public involve- ment. If residents are so concerned with what’s going on in and around their com- munity, it’s time to attend committee or council meetings and get their voices heard. Simply sending e-mails to council- lors is one method, but they’re not the only ones involved in the political process. I attend either council, executive com- mittee or planning and development com- mittee each week at City Hall. And at each meeting, delegations take place. At a del- egation, speakers are requested to state their full name and address, then have 10 minutes to speak. Once staff members address the concerns, they can get back to residents with either an explanation or possible solutions to the problem. On May 24, there was a special meeting of council on Pickering’s official plan. The Planning Act requires each municipality to hold such meetings at least once every five years to determine the need for revisions to the plan. For such a large topic, there weren’t many people in attendance. Out of the 94,000 Pickering residents, only five took the floor to share their concerns. The official plan is a big topic, so big that updating the plan will take about three years. That means there are many factors City staff has to take into consideration. If concerned residents would have come out to the meeting, staff could have kept those considerations in mind. After all, the report will set guidelines in making Pickering ei- ther a city that people want to live in and visit, or simply can’t be bothered with. The residents who did speak raised some pretty valid concerns. And whether the delegations sparked questions from some councillors and boiled blood in others, the speakers’ ideas and criticisms were heard. Nearly each councillor expressed excite- ment about having this type of discussion. Information on the meeting was adver- tised in the News Advertiser, circulated to various groups and was available online. In fact, staff want public input so much that residents are encouraged to submit their official plan ideas to the planning and development department by June 30. We’re lucky to live in a country where our concerns are heard and we have the ability to attend public meetings. Our in- volvement in the political process should not stop immediately after we cast our vote. A little pressure on the representatives you have elected won’t hurt; it will just keep them on their toes. Kristen Calis’s column ap- pears every third Friday. E-mail kcalis@durhamregion.com. Kristen Calis staff writer LETTER TO THE EDITOR Airport opponent addresses proponent’s letter To the editor: Re: May 11 letter, ‘Bring on the airport’, Tina Mason. Ms. Mason, I must say that when I started to read your letter I was already forming a rebuttal in my head because I am anti Pickering Airport. I read the first point about our property taxes tripling and I thought, ‘they will triple to put the infrastructure in and then increase regularly to maintain it!’ At the second point you made, that you want jobs for your children so you can pay their mortgages, I got a little puzzled. At the third point I finally got it! You were kidding! It’s just that sarcasm doesn’t come across in print very well! Your third point was “cleaner air, less farming pesticide use.” Ha ha ha! That’s funny! You were really saying that an airport would pollute the air and tons of pesticides would be used to maintain the property for aesthetic reasons. Point four - more jobs for less- educated young people which would cut crime and poverty. Ha ha ha! There’s plenty of those right now that young people won’t take because they feel they deserve more! And your final point about more hospital money was a scream! More hospital money because those living around an airport have much higher incidences of breathing problems and other health issues caused by air and ground pollution, so of course there will be more hospital money - to cover the massive increase in costs. Perhaps you could have added a few smileys so people would have known you were only kidding - :-) Sharon Powell Ajax Throw the book at impaired drivers Higher fines and jail time are the best ways of keeping our roads as safe as possible. Ontario Provincial Police statistics from Canada Road Safety Week, May 14 to 21, show that despite years of hammer- ing the message home, drivers are still speeding, drinking and driving and not wearing seatbelts, putting themselves and other motorists at risk on our highways. It seems astonishing in this day and age, but the numbers tell the tale. According to the OPP, during the week, 248 motorists were nabbed and face impaired driving charges, compared to 148 during 2006. Seatbelt charges were up 51 per cent, from 762 last year to 1,565 this past week. Finally, speeding charges were up by 38 per cent, from 6,980 in 2006 to 11,314 this year. One impaired driver was clocked doing 170 km/h in a stolen car before he hit a truck, seriously injuring a woman passenger. The man has a lifetime driving suspension and his alcohol level was twice the legal limit. A second driver, with four prior convic- tions for impaired driving, almost ran down a police officer as he drove a car without license plates with a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit. These men, who shouldn’t have been on the road in the first place, should receive something to get their attention, since a lifetime driving ban in one case and four drunk driving arrests in another obviously didn’t get the message across. Let’s start with a hefty fine and jail time. And not a week or two in the can, but at least a year. Perhaps sitting in a cell for that length of time will have some effect. Clearly, the efforts of groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving and other groups are to be commended. As well, education at a very young age is also a part of the solution. But, without stiffer penalties, it appears the number of drinking and driving and otherwise unsafe drivers will never go down.

AJAX — Technical studies for the possible re- furbishment of four reactors at the Pickering nu- clear station should be completed in the next six weeks. Speaking to Ajax council last week, Gregory Smith, a senior vice-president at the station, said the studies should be “done by June of this year. “The preliminary findings of these studies are there are no significant (environmental) affects,” he said. “The biggest affect will be 2,000 construc- tion workers travelling to and from the site for 10 years.” The studies are part of the environmental as- sessment Ontario Power Generation has to do as it prepares a business case for refurbishing the four ‘B’ side reactors. Once the EA and business case are complete, they will be forwarded to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, which will decide if the work can be done. Mr. Smith said the CNSC will an- nounce a decision in 2008. When questioned what could stop the company from proceeding, Mr. Smith said, “Purely finan- cial. “What is the cost of the power and whether it can be sold into the market at a profit,” he added, noting if the cost to refurbish the units doesn’t make economic sense, “then the decision would be not to go ahead.” But, Mr. Smith stated, “It’s possible the Province will say it needs the power” and would want the refurbishment to proceed. If the reactors aren’t refurbished, they’ll be taken out of service in about 10 years. If they’re refurbished, they could operate until 2060. PICKERING 2215 Brock Rd.

We’re making history, walk- ing for victory. These are lyrics by a group of Whitevale residents dedicated to fighting cancer. Whitevale’s Ros- ies the Riveters (The Rosies) will participate in this year’s Cana- dian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. The non-competitive relay asks members to walk, stroll or run over a course for 12 hours. A tent village is also available for breaks and other activities. The event includes a survivors victory lap, where people who have overcome cancer are asked to share and celebrate success, while giving hope to others. Te am captain Janet Filer ex- plained the relay is more than just about raising money. “It’s also a celebration of sur- vival and life,” she said. “We’ve got lots to celebrate and be thankful for.” 2007 marks the Whitevale group’s fifth trip to the relay, and it has raised over $16,000 so far. “We don’t set a particular goal,” Ms. Filer said. “Everyone just does the best they can.” The Whitevale team has a new moniker each year. Last year’s was Runaway Brides, This year’s comes from Rosie the Riveter, a United States icon who represents the six million women who worked in manufacturing plants during the Second World War. “Choosing Rosie the Riveter as our theme seemed a perfect fit,” member Tricia McCallum said. “The parallels are obvious. We Whitevale Rosies are fighting on a different front, of course, but it is no less a war. The foe here is cancer, and it is a treacherous one.” She explained her mother worked in munitions in Glasgow, U.K. and lost a finger. “I was really aware of women’s role in the war,” she said. Ms. McCallum later lost her mother to cancer. Part of the event includes ka- raoke, and participants will then hear Rosie the Riveter. The group has taken the actual song and customized the lyrics to fit the cancer fight. Some members will carry power drills, wear work boots and head scarves. But all will be sporting the bright red lipstick and nail polish for which the icon is famous. The Rosies lost a dear friend and team member recently, and hope to raise funds to help make cancer history. “If events like this move us even one inch closer to outwit- ting cancer then anything we do is worth it,” Ms. McCallum said. The group also plans on rais- ing money for the relay at the annual Whitevale Spring Festival on Saturday, May 26. The Rosies will set up a vin- tage garage sale from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Whitevale Road (across from the church), recreating a 1940s-style kitchen, including a vintage stove, fridge, movie post- ers, and an ironing board. The Rosies will also per- form the song at various times throughout the day. Relay for Life will take place at the Oshawa Civic Fields and will run from 7 p.m. on Friday, June 1 to 7 a.m. Saturday. Last year’s Oshawa event raised over $410,000. *EqualmonthlyinstallmentofferisavailablefornewbookingsmadeuntilDecember31,2007onyourSearsCardorSearsMasterCard,subjecttoavailablecredit.Offerisnotavailableonair-onlypurchases.Paymentoptions arenotavailableatwww.SearsTravel.ca.Pricesareperpersonbasedondoubleoccupancyandarebasedonthedesignateddeparturegateway.Alltaxes andgovernmentfeesareasindicated.**$400offpercoupleofferapplies to selectindicatedproducttoSpainonnewbookingsmadebyJune8,2007,onselecteddeparturedates.***NewbookingsonTransatHolidaysvacationpackagesortoursof$2,600,incl.taxes,ormorepercoupletoSpainsave $100percouplewhenbookedbyJune30,2007fordeparturesbeforeOctober31,2007.Bookingsmustbemade21daysormorepriortodepartureanddonotapplytogroupsorchildrates.Offersapplytodeparturesfrom TorontoorMontrealtoSpainandmaynotbecombinedwithotheroffers.Pricesvalidatthetimeofprintandsubjecttochangewithoutnotice.SeeSearsTravelforcompletedetails,termsandconditions.Europeflightsare operatedbyAirTransat,ThomasCookorMyTravel. ws=westjet,ts=transatairlines,cx=cathaypacific,jl=japanairlines,dl=deltaairlines,co=continental,ac=aircanada ©2007SearsCanadaInc.d.b.a.SearsTravelService.Ont.Reg#2264141.290YongeSt.,Suite700,Toronto,ONM5B2M5®RegisteredtrademarksofRoyalBankofCanada.Usedunderlicense.

Sprucing up existing markings and applying new ones to the thousands of kilometres of roads is a task that takes crews into the fall. “We have been painting for a couple of weeks and we paint until October or so,” explained Bruce Watson, Durham’s supervisor of traffic signs and markings. The lines are repainted once or twice a year — depending on line type, location and traffic volume — in order to restore winter dam- age from salt and sand and ensure good visibility and reflectivity. Two trucks work their way through regional and municipal roads, with the exception of Scu- gog and Pickering, who have sepa- rate contracts. Mr. Watson said the trucks drive at about 10 kilometres an hour, a pace he said can seem unbear- ably slow. Drivers are asked to be patient. A follow-up truck travels ap- proximately 150-to-200 metres behind the line-marking truck to allow sufficient paint drying time. Drivers who choose to pass either the follow-up or painting truck risk damaging their vehicle. According to Mr. Watson, the paint is formulated for long wear and is embedded with glass beads. When a vehicle drives through wet paint it can splatter up against a vehicle’s body or tires. In many cases, it can only be removed professionally at an auto body shop. Since 2002 the Region has used an environmentally friendly, water-based latex paint. Mr. Wat- son said the oil-based paints for- merly used contained volatile or- ganic compounds that emit gases that can damage the ozone layer. Although the provincial govern- ment hasn’t legislated the use of latex paint, the Region took the opportunity to make the switch when it purchased a new truck, one that is specifically designed to spray latex paint. “The latex is actually more dura- ble than the oil paint,” Mr. Watson said. “Because the spring application of paint has lasted so well, we have been able to eliminate some of the fall program.” Limite d Quant i t i e s$99 QUICK-UP POOL LET’S CELEBRATE 30 YEARS OF FUN!LET’S CELEBRATE 30 YEARS OF FUN!

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 25, 2007 PAGE 13 A/Pdurhamregion.com Region’s line painting lasts all season on Durham roads Change will impact about 90 students in south Durham By Crystal Crimi crimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A Whitby mother says cancelling primary diagnostic classes in Durham public schools will hurt kids, a claim school board officials deny. When school ends in June, so will the Durham District School Board’s nine remaining primary diagnostic classes. The approximately 12 stu- dents identified as exceptional in each will be integrated into regular classrooms. “Kids in that class have language difficulties; we have students with learning disabilities, autism spec- trum disorders... so we have a variety of exceptionals as the government defines,” said Martyn Beckett, the board’s superintendent of special education. Parent Catherine Wood said “it’s ridiculous” for the board to be clos- ing the classes. The integration will put a bigger burden on teachers and other students in the mainstream classes, as well as hurt those re- moved from them, she added. Currently, she has one child in a primary language class, one in a Grade 7 learning strategies class, and another struggling in Grade 1. With the primary diagnostic class can- celled, she won’t have it as an option for her youngest. About 90 students are impacted by the changes, said Mr. Beckett. The class cancellation is part of recommendations in the board’s special education review, approved in 2005. It also fits into the Province’s education for all initia- tives, which require more inclusive practices. Mr. Beckett said primary diagnostic classes were introduced in the 1980s when primary class sizes were larger and there wasn’t a lot of special education training. Now primary class sizes are smaller with most having 20 students or less, he added. In reviewing the program, they realized they can do better now, Mr. Beckett said. The board began removing di- agnostic programs a few years ago through north Durham pilot proj- ects and has had success, said Mr. Beckett. “The benefit to students is education in an inclusive environ- ment,” said Mr. Beckett. “It lets them go to a school where their friends go to school.” Some students have long bus rides to get to a school that offers the regional class. Mr. Beckett said smaller primary class sizes, teacher training to ac- commodate a variety of learning styles, and projects to address stu- dents whose skill level requires more support are accompanying class cancellations. “We’ve got things happening at multiple levels,” he said. The board is also reviewing the role of special education resource teachers to create a better model of support and redistribute them from the primary diagnostic class to other schools. Ms. Wood was not con- vinced the changes are for the better. “I’d like to see them keep the classes open and see the kids succeed,” she said. “These kids have been identi- fied for a reason and they should not be overlooked.” In the regular classes, some will struggle and fall behind, hurting their self-esteem, said Ms. Wood. “In a special class, you have at the most 12 (students) with a teacher and an (educational assistant),” said Ms. Wood. “Huge difference and the kids are taught at a level they need to be taught at.” Mr. Beckett said the board has the experience of working with schools in the north to have the confidence to move forward in good fashion.

When questioned what could stop the company from proceeding, Mr. Smith said, “Purely financial. “What is the cost of the power and whether it can be sold into the market at a profit,” he added, noting if the cost to refurbish the units doesn’t make eco- nomic sense, “then the decision would be not to go ahead.” But, Mr. Smith stated, “It’s possible the Province will say it needs the power” and would want the refurbishment to pro- ceed. If the reactors aren’t refurbished, they’ll be taken out of service in about 10 years. If they’re refurbished, they could operate until 2060.

In recognition of RBC’s $250,000 donation, the University of Ontario Institute of Technol- ogy (UOIT) recently unveiled a conference room named after the bank. The donation, made about a year ago but only announced this May, includes annual instalments of $50,000 until 2011. David Chambers, vice president of advancement for UOIT, said the money is going to help pay for classrooms already built through a debenture. The room unveiled in recogni- tion of RBC includes a commemorative plaque outside the space used for mee activities related to the faculty of business and information tech- nology and management development centre.

If you don’t have time or space for a big garden, don’t despair. Try container garden- ing. Creativity is the key to container gardening. You’re limited only by your imagination. Old wheelbarrows, interesting an- tiques, discarded dishes and even old pair of boots can hold potting soil and a plant. The trick to keeping soil inside these improvised containers is lining the bottom with a layer of landscape fabric like Weedblock. Good soil, adequate moisture and proper nutrition are essential for healthy plants. Fertilizer spikes are an effortless way to feed container gardens. Jobe’s makes a special formula for potted plants and hanging baskets. Information is avail- able toll-free at 1-800-327-9462. Did you know that container gardening can help you avoid costly landscaping mistakes? If there is an unusual plant or flower you’ve always wanted to plant but weren’t sure it would grow well where you live, try it in a container. You can purchase a couple at a time and see how they do. Another plus to container gardening is versatility. If you don’t like where you’ve placed your “garden” simply pick it up and move it. If you don’t like the way your plants look as they’re grouped together, rearrange them. What could be easier? The next time you find yourself longing for beau- tiful flowers or itching to try an exotic new plant, give those green thumbs a work- out with container gardening.

It has gone from a func- tional sanitary place to a spa-like sanctuary. It is now the room of choice in which to relax, rejuvenate and recharge from our frenetic daily lives. The new trend is to establish a wellness room in the master bathroom where innovative spa- like tools such as air jet baths and therapeutic shower units deliver short and long-term health benefits. One can now spend hours on end soaking in the luxury of an air jet bath filled with essen- tial oils, mud or salts. This therapeutic refuge may be doing wonders for your body and soul but it may be creating long-term problems for your home’s indoor air quality. Unless your bathroom is properly ventilated your steamy mirrors, damp walls and fogged windows are more than just annoying, they could indicate developing problems like mold and mildew, ruined insulation, and wood rot. Spot ventilation solutions from manufacturers like Broan can clear the air quickly and ef- ficiently, removing potential problems before they invite themselves into your home. Today’s homes are built airtight for efficiency. But that means moisture and airborne pollut- ants stay where they are unless they are vented away. Eliminating excess moisture keeps your home dry and comfortable and can help avoid mold and mildew. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), “outgas” from construction materials as well as allergens, dust, cooking vapour and what the kids bring home from school are more reasons why good ventilation is critical. “Often times customers are confused by what they need in order to adequately ventilate the bathroom,” explained Matthew Cripps Prod- uct manager bath fans for Broan-NuTone Canada. “Using a simple rule of thumb, one sq. ft. equals a need of one CFM, therefore an average bathroom of 100 sq. ft. would re- quire a minimum of 100 CFM to get proper ventilation.” Other things to consider when buying a bath fan or home ventilation system are quiet op- eration, blower power, and decorative design or you may want something that’s virtually invisible. Conventional fans are noisier and less visually appealing than newer products like the Broan Quiet Series Fans, Cripps added. The Quiet Series Fans offer extremely quiet operation while also consuming less energy ultimately costing less over time. And this is important if you’re going to spend all your time recon- necting in your new bathroom spa.

Rejuvenate your lawn and gardens with quality soils home SWEET home • Advertising Feature E-learning solution starts this September By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A $1 million cheque is putting critical care training improvements in Durham College’s hands. The ministry of health and long-term care recently announced it is contracting Durham College (DC) to de- sign an e-learning nursing solution for Ontario as part of its critical care strategy. The new program is intend- ed to increase the quality of nursing in the province. “I believe they will use the evaluation to make decisions for future financial fund- ing or spending on similar areas of health care,” said Judy Robinson, the school of health and community ser- vices’ dean. DC starts the new training model for its Critical Care Nursing E-Learning Gradu- ate Certificate program Sept. 4 and will be evaluating its effectiveness. The program includes on- line theoretical courses, al- lowing students to learn at their own pace and location. Following the e-learn- ing component, students participate in simulation training at DC or one of its many partner post-second- ary institutions in Ontario, and finish with hands-on job experience. Ms. Robinson said the shortage of well-educated nurses in critical care is pro- jected to increase through retirements and relocations. The average age of Ontario’s nurses is 47 and they’re re- tiring earlier than expected, said Sandra Goldsworthy, nursing professor and pro- gram co-ordinator. “This program is not just for new nurses, it’s also for mid-career nurses who have never had the chance to go back to school,” said Ms. Goldswor- thy. Hospitals will have to start hiring novice nurses to work in the departments or provide training to existing nurses in different depart- ments. Building the capacity of critically care trained nurses will help keep more beds open, said Ms. Robinson. She added it will also build capacity for surge beds by increasing the scope of nurs- es working outside the in- tensive care unit so they are ready to handle a pandemic such as SARS. “And the shortage of nurs- es we talked about is not unique to Ontario, it’s world- wide,” said Ms. Robinson. The critical care e-learn- ing program shows the ur- gency of the situation, Ms. Goldsworthy said. She said the program will allow nurses to go back to school and gain critical-care training, as well as providing new nurses with a standard- ized education in critical care. She added the program could have national and in- ternational implications be- cause of its unique delivery. Along with a speciality consultant and core people in development, critical nurses and nurse educators help ensure the curriculum is up to date and will meet industry needs. The new DC program is already receiving inquires and generating excitement, said Ms. Goldsworthy. Ms. Robinson said initial dialogue about the need for such a pro- gram and govern- ment support began in January last year and soon after, DC submitted its application for the project. “We at DC have a strong critical-care program here and technological focus; we were fairly confident,” said Ms. Goldsworthy. The $1 million is for design and de- velopment of the curriculum, which has to meet provincial standards for critical care. 1'" # '.+/1 3#1 ! ! % # %$ " 7 7 % % # %$ !

Roads a priority for Durham in 2007Roads a priority for Durham in 2007 By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Roads are rocky in parts of the Region, but smoothing them out is a priority in this year’s proposed roads budget. “We are actually fairing a little worse than other regional municipalities in terms of roads,” said the Region’s commissioner of works, Cliff Curtis. “We went through a num- ber of years where the roads were severely underfunded back in the 90s. When times get tough that is one of the areas that gets cut back.” The Region of Durham runs a road net- work of 832 centre line kilometres, 2,115 lane kilometres and 211 bridges and culverts. Of it, 13 per cent is rated as being in critical and 13 per cent in poor condition. According to Mr. Curtis, that’s why roads were made a priority by Regional council about five years ago. “I pitched it fairly hard when I took the commissioner’s job,” he said. “It wasn’t being paid attention to at the level it needed to be.” Maintaining roads is an extremely expen- sive endeavour, according to Mr. Curtis. Prop- erty tax funding for roads has increased from $5 million in 1998 to $25 million in 2007. “The remainder comes from development charges or contributions from developers,” he said. “S ometimes we will do work for developers in conjunction with our road programs at 100 per cent their cost.” The Region is asking the provincial govern- ment to provide the same level of funding as last year, $10.8 million, but Mr. Curtis said he isn’t counting on that money. “We will see, but I think that was a one- time deal. But, it never hurts to ask,” Mr. Cur- tis said. The proposed 2007 road program gives pri- ority to expansion projects in four major cor- ridors: Taunton Road, Harmony Road, Brock Road and Bayly/ Victoria/ Bloor streets. “They aren’t the worst off but they are fairly heavy commuter routes. They are fairly choked with traffic and need to be widened,” Mr. Curtis said. Of the $41.8 million capital road program, 45 per cent of the funding is targeted for major construction projects and 25 per cent for the construction of six major road expan- sion projects and two bridges. Topping out the large construction projects is nearly $9 million on three separate projects on Taunton Road and a $7-million project on Victoria Street (South Blair Street – east of Thickson Road). Despite best efforts to try to maintain the Regional Roads Mr. Curtis said they are slip- ping a bit. But, looking ahead, he said roads will continue to be a priority through to 2011 with the total capital budget for 2008 to 2011 set at $200 million. To achieve these annual contributions the roads reserve must increase, growth forecasts need to be achieved and the cost of capital projects can’t materially exceed current esti- mates. According to Mr. Curtis, an annual invest- ment of $16 million is required to sustain Durham’s roads and prevent further decline in overall condition, although this year’s bud- get proposes a $10 million investment. “I think we have generally good political support for that program,” he said. The financing study projects the road reha- bilitation program will receive $16 million in funding by 2011. The maps supplied by Durham region’s works department show road work planned in the future for Taunton Road, above, Harmony Road South, top right and Bayly Street, middle right.

It’s a seemingly strange direc- tion, but understandable given the 28 young people, the Treble Notes, are singing a lot of words in quick succession as they rehearse ‘Ice Cream’. In one section of the piece, the musical director points out that the singing sounds like “a nasal kind of New York City accent.” Mur- phy then imitates and exaggerates the accent, and the singers break out in laughter. It’s that combination of striving for perfection and having fun at the same time that marks the Young Singers. The youths were prepar- ing for a number of engagements early this year, including their 15th anniversary concert on June 2 in Whitby. The photo on the concert poster shows an idyllic rural scene, and Murphy says it wasn’t chosen by accident. “It’s a place they want to be,” she says. “It’s a place that gives them pleasure and a good feeling. That’s what you feel like in Young Sing- ers.” The Singers started humbly enough when Murphy began look- ing for a choir for her daughter to sing in, but found none. Today, the Singers have an impressive resume under their belt. They’ve sung for Queen Elizabeth II, the prime min- ister, the premier and the Governor General, among many other digni- taries. They count Canadian com- edy icon Don Harron (aka Charlie Farquharson) as a friend, and he’ll be joining them at the anniversary concert, aptly titled The Journey. The Young Singers is actually four choirs. The YoungER Singers are for six- to eight-year-olds, while the Treble Notes are for eight- to 12-year-olds. Both are non-audi- tion choirs. The Director’s Choir is for young people 10 to 15 and the Random Notes for youth anywhere from 14 to the mid 20s. Young people must audition to become a member of these choirs. The sing- ers come from across Durham and even farther afield. At the same rehearsal, Murphy notes it’s been two weeks since they’ve been together. When par- ents wave, she reminds them, don’t wave back. “Do you ignore them?” she asks. “Yeeeesss,” the singers reply. Some of you are auditioning for the Director’s Choir, Murphy notes. “One of the things we’re looking for is focus,” she says. Focus, commitment, poise. They’re words Murphy uses a lot in the interview. When singers, even seven-year-olds, take the stage, they’re in “performance mode” and are expected to be profession- al. Asked how she imparts these qualities to such young perform- ers, Murphy doesn’t hesitate. “I do it through music,” she says. “All of the children are here be- cause they want to be; they have a love of music. I’m giving them musical opportunities, choral ex- periences.” Discipline is another frequently heard word. “To get to where they want to be on that performance stage, it means there are some expectations for them,” Murphy says. David Harrison of Brooklin, whose twins Sarah and Rachel Har- rison, 9, are Treble Notes members, describes Murphy as “demanding but sensitive” in working with the kids. They’ve been members for two years, and he’s already seen a change in the girls. “We’ve just noticed with our two that it helps with poise and confi- dence and being part of a team,” says Harrison. “We’ve really seen them blossom.” He says the girls are “always eager” to go to rehearsals and per- formances, noting there’s also been a difference between the first and second year of their involvement. “I think I’ve seen in their second year in the choir, they’re a little more serious,” he says. Sarah says she saw two Young Singers concerts and “liked how they sang,” so she wanted to join. She describes Murphy as “nice” and encouraging. Rachel says performing is her favourite part of being in the Young Singers. And, while she was ner- vous singing in front of an audi- ence for the first time, “now I’m pretty used to it.” Cassidy Lewis, 10, of Ajax, had been in television commercials be- fore so she’s pretty accustomed to being in the spotlight. In addition to being on stage singing, she espe- cially likes the opportunity to meet new people. Rachel says she plans to audition for the Director’s Choir when she’s old enough. For Cassidy, that’s this year. Asked what it’ll take to make the choir, she says she’ll have to re- member all she’s learned up until now. Rachel says she enjoyed per- forming at a senior’s residence, since it was just the Treble Notes on stage. “It was really great,” Cassidy says, smiling as she remembers a senior who enjoyed the music so much he got up and started dancing. Murphy says since the commu- nity has been so good to the Young Singers, it’s important for the kids to give something back, and under- stand why they do it. In forming the Young Sing- ers with former accompanist Bill Swerdfeger, she says it was the To wn of Ajax that was the third partner and co-founder. In the first year. Murphy says she “literally went up and down my street... and begged my friends to let their kids sing.” There were 23 Young Singers in the beginning. “Within two years, we were burst- ing at the seams,” Murphy says. As of a couple of years ago, she says 600 youngsters had been Yo ung Singers. When the Singers early on had to find a new rehearsal space, she approached people at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, and “Saint Rich- ard,” also known as Reverend Rich- ard Newland, came to the rescue. In 2002, the Singers amicably split from the Town, becoming a not- for-profit, charitable organization. Beyond the journey that the Singers have taken as group, there are individual ones as well. “O ne of my greatest joys is seeing the child who struggles through and works so hard to attain a level,” Murphy says. “You see their prog- ress and they see their progress.” Murphy says the anniversary concert will feature a broad range of material, from Bach to Billy Joel. As a special treat, alumni members will also perform. The concert is Saturday, June 2 at 7 p.m. at Hebron Christian Re- formed Church, 4240 Anderson St., Whitby. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. For tickets, call 905-686-9821. To learn more about the Young Singers, visit www.youngsingers. ca.

Tr ojans’ girls make LOSSA track history Multiple golds highlight LOSSA track and field Annual high school championships yield plenty of success DURHAM — Each year, the LOSSA track and field champion- ships manage to produce mul- tiple gold medal winners, and this year was no different. In all, 15 local athletes from Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington, to Ajax, Pickering and Port Perry captured at least two first place individual medals during the an- nual event held at Civic Fields in Oshawa. As usual, Ajax and Pickering sent a strong contingent of ath- letes to LOSSA and returned home with multiple gold medals hanging off their necks. At the top of that list was Pickering High School’s Christine Exeter who picked up firsts in the midget women’s 100m and 200m dash, while adding another in the women’s midget 80m hurdles. A couple of Pickering High teammates each scored a pair of golds as well. Adriana Allen crossed the line first in both the junior 100m and 200m dash. Pickering High’s Preston Farrell claimed top spot in the 100m and 300m men’s midget hurdles. St. Mary Catholic Secondary School product Charles Forbes sprinted his way to gold in the se- nior men’s 100m and 200m dash events. Madelin Snowden of Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School flexed a little muscle, grabbing first in the senior women’s discus throw and senior women’s shot put. The top five in each event ad- vance to the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) Central Regional Meet next Wednesday and Thursday at York University, with the hope of reaching the OFSAA provin- cial finals from June 7 to 9 in Ottawa.

Spence, Thomas-James commit to Pronghorns AJAX — Two players from the reigning Ontario ‘AAAA’ boys’ high school basketball champion- ship squad will be playing elsewhere next season. Sephton Spence and Brandon Thomas-James, graduating seniors from the Pickering High School Trojans, have committed to play for the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns men’s basketball team in the fall. According to Lethbridge head coach Mike Con- nolly, the pair should pay immediate dividends for the university hoops program. “They played on a very deep Pickering team and probably flew a little under the radar because of that, but I really like their athleticism and com- mitment to the team success,” said Connolly, in a press release, of his newest recruits. “Coming from a successful team and a winning environ- ment is very important to what we are trying to do here.” Spence, a six-foot, 4-inch forward, is a two- sport star who was also recruited by universities for football, but has opted for basketball. Connolly says Spence should help the Pronghorns in a vari- ety of ways. “He can really attack the rim on offence and is so strong and athletic he will be able to guard multiple positions,” says Connolly. Meanwhile, Thomas-James, a six-foot, six-inch forward, should be a defensive stalwart for the Pronghorns as a player with length and athleti- cism. He can also step out and hit the three, but can also attack the rim, too. “I really liked his commitment to defence and helping his team win,” stated Connolly. “During the Ontario Championship game, he drew seven charges and is a great defender on the wing.” Trojans’ hoopsters march off to Lethbridge for collegiate play Capitol Theatre Port Hope Festival Theatre “Comedy Under the Stars” A Comedy by Willy RussellA Comedy by Willy Russell June 7th to 16thJune 7th to 16th 1-800-434-50921-800-434-5092 www.phft.cawww.phft.ca Sponsored by: Now You See It.
