A paramedic with Durham Emergency Medical Services, Mr. Martin and Mr. Johnstone responded to a call about a dis- traught woman. When they ar- rived at a home on Ebony Street in the Pickering Beach area of Ajax, they found it ablaze. Ar- riving right after the pair were Durham Regional Police offi- cers Leon Sowa and Paul Stu- art. Inside the house was a sui- cidal woman. The four tried to enter the house through the front door, but were thwarted by heavy smoke. So, they raced around to the back and tried to kick in the door. However, debris slowed their entry. A window was bro- ken, which cleared some smoke, and the four pushed their way in. They spread out to look for the woman, who was found hiding under a computer table. She was pulled out and saved. But, for Mr. Martin, the dam- age had been done. “We went in the house to get Photo by Mike Pochwat Rob Johnstone is one of four being honoured with a medal of bravery from the Governor General for helping to rescue a woman from a burning house. ‘This is very, very good news’ By Izabela Jaroszynski ijaroszynski@durhamregion.com DURHAM — It was a phone call that made Sandra Sweet smile with joy. Service Canada called the ex- ecutive director of Simcoe Hall Settlement House on Wednesday afternoon to say that they were in fact eligible for funding through the Canada Summer Job Place- ment Program. “This is very, very good news,” Ms. Sweet said. “Not only for us, but for the children who would have been impacted.” The news came just days after the organization had received a letter denying it funding for three summer students that Ms. Sweet said were necessary to properly run the summer day camp for children in need. The organiza- tion had, in years past, received funding for the placements. “They said they were doing a second round of reviews and had reconsidered,” Ms. Sweet said. “We had a brief chat and were told that we can go ahead and hire the three students. We couldn’t be happier.” The federal government was criticized by opposition parties last week after it was discovered some community groups across the country had been denied funding because eligibility rules had changed for the summer pro- gram that creates employment for students. Monte Solberg, the minister of human resources and social de- velopment, said in the House of Commons last Friday the program had been changed to provide Funding reinstated for non-profits Four to be honoured for heroic efforts ✦ See Emergency, Page 5 ✦ See Damage, Page 2 For ‘Blue Chip’ thinking - turn to the leaders ...

That is not a summer job. That is not even a month-long job,” he said. “Under the new program, stu- dents are being funded for a longer period of time. They are getting the best quality work experience they could get.” But the minister did concede that “in some cases there are sympathetic groups who appear on the face of it to meet the cri- teria, but have not been approved.” He added the applications from those groups would be reviewed. Indeed, just a day after receiving a letter that only one of the five summer students requested would be covered through the program, Precious Minds received a phone call from the federal government saying four students would be covered. “I am still somewhat in shock,” said Elisa- beth Graham, the executive director of the north Durham children’s charity. “This is perfect,” she added. “This takes off a huge financial burden.” Oshawa MP Colin Carrie said he took the concerns of local groups forward to Mr. Sol- berg after receiving several calls about the issue at his constituency office. He said that the minister decided to make the second round of funding -- usually given out in July -- available earlier. The funding isn’t an increase to the program, it is the money that is left over when groups initially approved are unable to use all of the funding they were given. The money is then redis- tributed to other non-profits, Dr. Carrie said. The government put $77.3 million towards funding summer placements for students at not-for-profit organizations and another $8.6 million for public and private sector employers with 50 or fewer employees, he said. “The not-for-profit funding is the same as last year,” Dr. Carrie added. “It has not been decreased. But Dan McTeague, the MP for Pickering- Scarboroough East, said that in a lot of cases the damage has already been done. “Some students have moved on to other experiences,” he said. “And some of the pro- grams that were going to be offered may now be cancelled because of the lateness with which these organizations were notified.” -- with files from Jeff Hayward Damage already done by funding announcement: McTeague ✦ Damage from page 1 By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A cut-away in the sidewalk, automatic doors and accessible wash- rooms are seemingly little things that make a world of difference in the life of a person living with a disabil- ity. Mari-Lynn Cordahi, a member of the Region’s ac- cessibility advisory commit- tee, brought a reminder of that message to the Region’s finance and administration committee on May 23. “What do you do if you want to visit a friend or go to the movies?” Ms. Cordahi asked. Where most would sim- ply make plans and go, for someone living with a dis- ability it can be an ordeal. To take specialized transit, she said, riders must book 14 days in advance for non- medical trips. Apart from just getting there, people with mobil- ity issues must take much more into consideration, like if the doors of a restau- rant will be wide enough for a wheelchair or scooter to get through, if they get into the bathroom or if there will be an accessible sink. She pointed to the Re- gional headquarters as a fine example of an acces- sible facility. But, even with it’s smooth pavement, lots of accessible parking and audible elevators, the build- ing presents some chal- lenges to someone with a mobility issue. The council chamber, she said, can be a problem because of a lip in the floor. In addition to all of the progress in making build- ings accessible, what makes the biggest difference in the life of someone with a mo- bility issue are people’s at- titudes, she said. “Don’t try to help us with- out asking us first... don’t pity us,” she said. “Ask for our ideas.” The accessibility advi- sory committee, Ms. Cor- dahi said, is working to raise awareness and educate the public about what it is like to live with a disability. To this end, it wants to cre- ate an awards program to recognize people and busi- nesses that have made ef- forts towards accessibility. She commended the Re- gion for joining a proclama- tion naming May 29 to June 1 National Access Aware- ness Week and said she hopes that will help raise awareness. “We are doing what we can as quickly as we can to address the concerns of that committee,” said Marilyn Pearce, the chairwoman of the finance and administra- tion committee. “Bit by bit we are getting there.” BROOKLIN SPRING FAIRBROOKLIN SPRING FAIR First We ekend in June - May 31, June 1, June 2, June 3First Week end in June - May 31, June 1, June 2, June 3 2007 Admission Rates: Adult $8.00 Child 5-12 years $2.00 Students & Seniors $6.00 Four Day Pass $18.00 Parking - Free (prices include G.S.T.) *TWOONIE THURSDAY for RiDE TICKETS* Directions to the Brooklin Spring Fairgrounds: From Toronto Hwy 401 East - Exit @ Brock STREET (not Brock ROAD) - North on Brock St. turn RIGHT onto Winchester Rd.

The smoke was so thick. We were feeling around in the house to find out where the patient was,” Mr. Martin recalls. There was bacteria in the smoke, which got into his lungs. “It collapsed my lung and I almost died.” It took about a week-and-a-half before his lung collapsed. “That’s how long it took for the bacteria and smoke to work on my lung.” He’s been off the job ever since. “I’d sure like to get back to work, but they won’t let me. I’m not strong enough. I’m getting there.” For their efforts, the four are to receive the Medal of Bravery from Governor General Michaelle Jean in a ceremony at Rideau Hall in Ottawa on June 15. They are among 15 Canadians to be honoured. The Medal of Bravery is “awarded for acts of bravery in hazardous circumstances,” ac- cording to the Governor General’s office. All four deflect praise, saying that what they did was part of their job. “I personally don’t see myself as a hero,” Acting Sergeant Sowa says. “I see it as part of my job. It’s what we’re there for. We’re an emergency responder. It’s what we do. Help- ing the public is what we do on a daily basis. “To me, it’s just part of the job. It’s an unex- pected surprise,” he adds. Detective Constable Stuart agrees “it’s part of the job.” “I’m a little bit overwhelmed,” says Mr. Johnstone. “On a daily basis, we get called to pretty much anything. The odd time, we do get calls like this. We never talked about it much after that. To get an award is an hon- our.” In a 34-year career as a paramedic, all in the Ajax-Pickering area, Mr. Martin has seen and “done a lot. I’ve delivered 14 babies in that length of time.” It all changed on Ebony Street. “The smoke did a lot of damage to my body. I’ve been in house fires before. I was lucky.” “There was an old set of books. I leaned over a bed and I almost stuck my head into a bunch of books on fire. They had mould and that got into my lungs. We had masks on, but that didn’t matter. We got her out though. “The two police officers and my partner, they were lucky they didn’t get what I got. Wrong place at the wrong time.” Asked if he would have done anything dif- ferent, Mr. Martin says, “I don’t think so. “In a situation like that, time counts,” he says. “We knew we had to get her out, so in we went. I’d probably do it again.” He noted at the time there was a child’s birthday party going on next door and “we didn’t know if kids were in there.” Mr. Johnstone says the incident started out as a call for a medical response and the emergency workers “didn’t know there was a fire or anything. “When we got to the scene, the house was on fire and a woman trapped. We only had a few minutes to get her out or it would have been a fatality,” he says. “We all went in to- gether. The house was barricaded. We had to remove debris.” It took them 12 different times to get in, Mr. Johnstone notes. “When we got in, we had to hold our breaths. We’d go in and because of the smoke, we had to come out. We were choking on smoke all the way through,” he says. “The smoke was very, very thick. We had to crawl in.” The woman was semi-conscious and needed medical attention, he adds. Both Det. Const. Stuart and Acting Sgt. Sowa were uniformed officers stationed out of the Ajax-Pickering detachment at the time. “We got information about a female who was depressed and to check on her,” says Det. Const. Stuart, an eight-year Durham police veteran. “When we arrived, there was smoke and flames. It had engulfed the whole back of the house. The bedrooms were filled with smoke.” The woman had tried to “conceal” herself under a table in the kitchen, adding “she didn’t want to be found. “A family member called police and they wanted to make sure she was OK,” he states. Acting Sgt. Sowa, a 12-year Durham police member says “on arrival, I noticed through the front window heavy smoke in the house. Obviously, it was a house fire. Because she was suicidal, I feared the worst and she was taking her life by setting the fire.” The house was a small cottage-style resi- dence and “I’m pretty sure in a very short time the whole house would have been en- gulfed in flames,” Acting Sgt. Sowa says. “Murray got the worst of it. He went into a bedroom where the fire was. He went in with a fire extinguisher to put out the fire,” he adds. He notes when the four of them entered, they went in different directions to look for the woman. “We all kind of picked a different area to search. That’s why Murray got the worst of it,” Acting Sgt. Sowa states. He’s h ad dealings with the woman on other occasions, noting she had been sexu- ally abused as a child. She eventually suc- ceeded in taking her life by ingesting pills. “Because of her childhood, this woman was severely depressed,” he says. “Because of her past, there was no helping her. It’s un- fortunate.” Being Mr. Murray’s partner was a dream for Mr. Johnstone. “Murray was a role model of mine back in high school. I had a journal and I said I wanted to be like Mr. Martin,” he says.

Emergency workers say they were just doing their job DURHAM — The public school board has approved its consolidation and closure policy. The Durham District School Board passed a motion to conduct its policy in accordance with the ministry of educa- tion’s pupil accommodation review guide- lines, dated Oct. 31, 2006. The policy had to be approved by March 31, 2007. According to a staff report, the guide- lines require that all Ontario school boards develop and approve school closure poli- cies and post them on their web sites. The guidelines also require that boards: under- take a public accommodation review in determining the future of a school, which considers its value to students, the com- munity, school board, and local economy; appoint a committee with representatives from the school and broader community; and, that the committee hold at least four public meetings to consult, present the school valuation framework report, and make recommendations. Board sets rules for school closures ‘I leaned over a bed and I almost stuck my head into a bunch of books on fire.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS durhamregion.com Manufacturing needs federal boost While the news has been largely positive at General Motors of Canada over the past year, it hides another, disconcerting fact about manufacturing in Durham Region, Ontario and Canada. As we celebrate the awarding of a flex plant and production of the new-style Camaro to the Oshawa autoplex and cheer on innovations through the multi-billion-dollar Beacon Project, we also must come to grips with a sobering statistic: over the last five years, 21 per cent of the manufacturing jobs in Durham Region have disappeared. That’s a net loss of 7,300 jobs. Many of the lost jobs have come through attrition either through buyouts or retirements. While those who were bought out or retired avoided layoff, the truth is their jobs are not being filled by young employment seekers. And lost jobs mean lost revenues. The trickle-down effect means less tax paid and fewer services purchased locally. To combat this job drain, the Canadian Auto Workers Local 222 is launching a protest this Sunday at the Midtown Mall in Oshawa at 1 p.m. The group will meet there and march up King Street to the corner of Mary Street where Oshawa MP Colin Carrie’s office is located. It isn’t entirely fair to target Mr. Carrie for manufacturing problems. The backbench Conservative MP has worked hard to bring the concerns of the auto industry to his cabinet colleagues in Ottawa. And he has pushed the cause of fair trade and tax incentives to help manufacturing. But something has to be done to try to stem the tide of job losses. Manufacturing is the job engine that propels Canada’s largest province. And Durham Region, home to GM and many supplier plants as well as other manufacturers is crucially tied to the industry. Mr. Carrie, as well as cabinet ministers Jim Flaherty and Bev Oda, as well as Liberal MPs Mark Holland and Dan McTe ague, must all work to make sure the interests of Durham are well-represented at the federal level. Fair trade with overseas nations which allows easy access for our products in their markets, is essential. Tax incentives which promote our manufacturing industries must be part of every budget. Workers need protection and they are looking at upper levels of government to provide answers. Dress store makes prom special for daughter To the editor: I would respectfully request that you publish this letter as an example of the compassion and understanding that still remains in our growingly impersonal world. On March 16, my daughter purchased a dress from Bliss Bridal Boutique of Burns Plaza, Whitby. The dress was quite expensive, but it was my daughter’s “dream” dress and so she used her income tax refund to purchase it for her Grade 12 prom. In late March, my daughter fell ill and was prescribed high doses of prednisone. Over the next month, she gained weight as a side effect of the medication. Last Saturday, we visited Cindy’s Alternations on John Street in Whitby to have the dress shortened. To our horror, the dress no longer fit! Bliss Bridal Boutique was contacted and although the receipt clearly stated, “All Sales Final: No refunds, cancellations or returns,” Sally and Cathy graciously exchanged my daughter’s dress for one that fit. My daughter and I would like to express our sincerest gratitude to Bliss Bridal Boutiques for their willingness to deviate from established store policy. We would also like to thank Sally and Cathy for their exceptional customer service from beginning to end. Because of the compassion of this local business, my daughter’s prom will remain a special milestone in her life. For that, I am eternally grateful! Anne Nakasuji Ajax S omeone’s been stirring the publicly funded schools pot again. Ju st weeks after the Durham Catholic District School Board posted a letter on its website reassuring parents, teachers, and students that there are no government plans to change the current system, the one-school system issue came up for dis- cussion at Durham’s public board. Education Equality in Ontario has launched a provincial campaign to elimi- nate publicly funded religious schools. The group, a non-government human rights organization, wants to merge public and separate schools into one English language and one French language public school system. Its reasoning: to get rid of religious discrimination against students and em- ployees and to save money. It looks like some school boards are buy- ing into the idea. During its May 22 meet- ing, the Durham District School Board was presented with a letter from the Near North District School Board of North Bay listing its support for the concept of one school system. Its resolution included requesting that the Ontario Public School Boards’ As- sociation renew its petition to the Province in support of one school board, as well as forwarding the board’s decision to all school boards and asking them to endorse the same, and to members of provincial and federal parliament with a proposal for a referendum to be called within a year. Some of Durham’s public board trustees suggested sending a letter back stating they disagree with Near North’s position, but it was sent back to committee for discussion after Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper said she didn’t think it was something they should just send off without talking about. She added she’s not sure everyone would share the same opinion on the issue. It’s a good point. This issue is always going to be some- thing that will never achieve total consen- sus. There are good arguments on both sides. On the Catholic end, the system allows an alternative for those unhappy with the public board; provides people with an education system in which they can fully embrace their faith and make it the centre of their lives; and, in some cases, enables youth to discover whether it’s a religion for them. Above all, the Catholic population is large enough to continue the existence of a publicly funded system. In Durham, 25,790 people were en- rolled in the Catholic board in Oct. 31, 2006, which makes up about a quarter of the population’s students if you consider the public board’s 70,016 enrolment as of March 31, 2006. The public education system has just as many positives, the biggest being that it does not discriminate in who it hires or admits. That being said, in an effort to be equal, the public system is also eliminating elements of Canadian culture with any reli- gious component, the biggest being Christ- mas celebrations. There will likely be a time when only one publicly funded system exists in Ontario, but the time is not now. It would be a waste of effort and money to try to abolish it in the near future.

At 56, Ms. Elliot has found herself in an unenviable position. She is healthy, capable and willing to work, but has been on layoff since 2005 when the auto parts manufacturing company she worked for decided it was neces- sary to downsize the workforce. After 15 years of employment with the company, Ms. Elliott had experi- enced several ups and downs so she wasn’t immediately worried. “We figured it was just a lull, that we would eventually be back,” she said, referring to her co-workers who also got the notice. “We thought it would be eight months or a year tops.” Now, nearly two years later, reality is starting to sink in. A single mother with two grown chil- dren, Ms. Elliott lives alone and de- pends on her single income to survive. Her unemployment benefits have run out and she has had to dip into her modest retirement savings to help pay the bills on a house she purchased in 2003 -- a year when the employment outlook was much more secure. “It doesn’t look good now,” she said. It is stories like these that are encour- aging Chris Buckley to take action. “Almost every day I have someone coming into this office because they have lost their job,” says the president of CAW local 222. “I don’t know what to say to them. I’m at a loss.” Mr. Buckley points to a startling sta- tistic: in the last four and a half years, 21 per cent of the manufacturing jobs in the Oshawa area have disappeared. That represents a loss of 7,300 jobs. “That’s a crisis,” he said. “I want people to really open their eyes to what is happening. “If we don’t do something we are not going to have a manu- facturing sector in this country.” To bring attention to the issue, the CAW is organizing a rally on Sunday. Starting at 1 p.m. at Midtown Mall in Oshawa, the rally will slowly make its way to the office of Oshawa MP Colin Carrie. Mr. Buckley hopes the rally will bring attention to the plight of local workers who, like Ms. Elliott, have found them- selves without any future job security. “We need to start fighting back,” he said. “This isn’t about greedy auto work- ers. This is about job security for all of our manufacturing sectors. It is about creating a strong and vital and thriving community.” He hopes to convince the federal government to work on issues affect- ing manufacturing: the high Canadian dollar and free trade talks with South Korea. But Mr. Carrie says the federal gov- ernment is already listening to the industry’s concerns. The local mem- ber of parliament points to the recent budget with its manufacturing-friendly initiatives, and to the newly-released manufacturing report as proof. “The manufacturing sector is facing unprecedented challenges, that’s no secret and the government that I rep- resent, we are listening to them, we are in constant dialogue,” he said. Mr. Carrie says he is surprised the CAW would choose to protest in front of his office. “I’m disappointed that they would take this tactic with me. I feel that I bend over backwards and spend an ex- orbitant amount of my time and effort on issues facing the auto industry and I’m very proud of that,” he said. “My door’s always open and I’m happy to listen to anyone individually from the CAW or their leadership and address their issues.” But Ms. Elliot says that for her it is too late for mere talk. She is at least a decade away from retirement and yet has already had to dip into her savings to support her- self through the rough patch. Without a good-paying job, she will lose her house. If she doesn’t regain her job, she will lose her pension. “I can’t even think about the future. I don’t let myself go there because it scares me. I try to take it day by day,” she said. In the last year, Ms. Elliott has sent out more than 80 resumes. She has had three job interviews. But so far, no job. “I don’t know what else I can do,” she said. “But there have to be better days ahead, right? This can’t be it.” Manufacturing employees hoping for better days ahead AJAX — Children ages four to 12 look- ing for a fun way to keep busy during summer are invited to summer camp.

As owner of Peak Image Con- sulting, Mr. Pedder makes it his business to guide his clients towards polished and profes- sional outfits that will help them get ahead in business. “I don’t want to change them from T-shirt and shorts into suits and ties -- that’s just too much,” he says. “I want to polish their image so if they’re going in to see a client, they can be polished and ready to go for that day. It’s just going to take the rough edges off the unfinished artwork.” Mr. Pedder says it is very important to understand the business environment you will be entering and to dress appro- priately. A high-end suit, for example, may not be the proper attire when visiting an industrial site, nor would coveralls work in a corporate setting. “Dressing appropriately is key to how people perceive you,” he said. Renee Munro couldn’t agree more. “Perception in business is everything,” says the founder of Image Matters, a Pickering- based business that offers one- on-one consultations to help men and women target specific image and confidence enhance- ment issues. “People perceive so many things about you purely on the way you look, the way you move, the way you interact with people,” she says. “So it’s very important that you put your best foot forward every day.” Speaking at a recent business etiquette seminar put on by the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade, Ms. Munro said that people’s perception of you is based 55 per cent on what you wear, 38 per cent on your body language and the tone of your voice and only seven per cent on what you actu- ally say. “So does it not make sense that you need to be as appropriately dressed for all occasions as pos- sible,” she asked. “You want to give the impression that you are authentic, that you are approach- able and that you are capable.” To help women get the most from their look, Ms. Munro offers a few simple tips: define your look, dress your body type, understand the power of colours. Whether your com- pany is formal or casual, she says women need to have a basic wardrobe. For formal environ- ments, she suggests jack- ets, skirts and trousers. “That’s your basic uniform,” she says, adding that feminine touches can be included in the form of blouses and accessories. “Women are just as capable as men in the workplace. They don’t have to dress like a man to prove that.” When choosing jewelry, how- ever, keep it in moderation and of the best quality, she advises. “You don’t want to overdo that.” Ms. Munro says that when it comes to business casual, the line of what is and isn’t appropri- ate often gets crossed. So what isn’t included in the acceptable business casual wardrobe? Anything that has words, slo- gans or pictures is inappropriate, Ms. Munro says. She also adds sweatpants, spandex, shorts and sun or beach dresses to the list of business no-nos. And when it comes to footwear, Ms. Munro says Birken- stocks, clogs, ballet slippers, flip flops, crocs and sneakers have no place in the business setting. Much the same applies for men when it comes to business casual, Mr. Peddar says. “When you talk about dress casual, you want to look at a sports jacket, a pair of khakis,” he says. And when in doubt, Mr. Peddar offers this advice: “Just defer to your superior.” Business News Advertiser Sunday, May 27, 2007 durhamregion.com BIZ BYTE More than 1,000 houses were sold in Durham Region in April, making it the second best April on record. The number represents a 16.3 per cent jump over the same month last year. Home values in the region averaged $273,507. QUOTABLE “Durham Region continues to grow at a sustainable rate, with consumers attracted by affordability, continued economic growth, a plethora of designs, prices and award-winning locations.” Lloyd Elliott, president of the Durham Region Asso- ciation of Realtors. TRENDset Note “Savvy employers are real- izing that the current employ- ment market and correspond- ing labour shortages are making it more important than ever to recognize the needs of working mothers and are put- ting plans in place in order to continuously attract and retain key talent.” Andrea Garson, vice-president of human resources, Workopolis Working mothers The increased participa- tion of women in the workforce has been one of the most sig- nificant social trends in Cana- da in the past quarter century. A recent study by Workopolis, however, found that working mothers are struggling to find the right balance between work and family. One-quarter of working mothers report their employers don’t offer any additional options to make the transition back to work easier for moms. Dressing for success When it comes to business, what you wear can say a lot about you By Izabela Jaroszynski Tips for women • Find a reputable tailor/seamstress who will take care of items that need to be tailored. • Whether dressing casual or for mal, all items should be wrinkle-free and must fit. Cloth- ing that is too tight or too big speak volumes about you. • Halters and camisoles are acceptable if kept under jackets or sweaters all day. • Golf shirts, dress shirts, sweat- ers and turtlenecks are accept- able for business casual. • There are four basic fashion personalities: classic, natural, romantic and dramatic. Which ones are you? Black authority, power, drama WhiteWhite purity, cleanliness Brown credibility, stability Gray neutrality, sophistication Red passion, danger, strength Yellow goodwill, caution, jealousy Green nature, success, security Purple royalty, richness, sensitivity Pink fun, excitement, femininity Blue calm, restful Current solutions Percentage of employers that offer them Flexible work hours Extended maternity leave Job sharing Por table technologies Wor king from home On-site day care Tips for men Shaving Always shave with a mirror that is well lit and that allows close examina- tion of the face during the proce- dure. Always use a shave cream that is suited for your face. To prevent blunt shaving, take note of when you start a new blade. Hair There is a hairstyle to suit every- one. Any kind of hair will benefit from a good cut and professional advice, but when choosing a hairdresser make sure to seek out someone who you have a rapport with and understands your lifestyle and personal idio- syncrasies. Hands and feet First impressions count and your hands can say a tremendous amount about you. Appropriate attire If your position takes you to many work environments, dress appropriately. Research the com- pany and its dress guidelines. You would not wear Armani to visit an industrial site or overalls to a corporate function. Wardrobe basics Should consist of a navy and black suit, as well as one pat- terned or striped suit for variety. For more informal occasions add a navy blazer with grey and taupe pants. A sport jacket is a great add on. 4848 2020 1414 1313 99 66 source: workopolis The POWER of colour durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 8 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 27, 2007 For more on this story By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The Town wants another seat at the Re- gional table. Saying population growth has left residents under rep- resented, Ajax is seeking a fourth Regional councillor in time for the 2010 municipal election. Ajax councillors endorsed asking Durham Region to add another representative during a meeting of the gen- eral government committee on Thursday. The request will be considered by council on Monday. The Town is also looking to readjust the ward boundaries and the possibility of another Regional councillor could af- fect that work. Ajax clerk Marty de Rond said to have the changes in place for the 2010 election, all the work, including add- ing a Regional representative and reconfiguring the ward boundaries, has to be com- pleted by the end of 2009. There are now three Ajax politicians serving on Region- al council -- the mayor and two councillors. Each repre- sents just more than 30,000 people, the most of any com- munity in Durham. Whitby is next with almost 27,800 resi- dents per councillor. Among the lakeshore com- munities, Pickering council- lors represent almost 22,000 people, Oshawa about 17,700 and Clarington just under 26,000. Oshawa has the most councillors with eight, while Pickering and Whitby each have four and Clarington has three. The three northern municipalities of Uxbridge, Scugog and Brock townships each have two councillors. Mayor Steve Parish pro- posed adding one councillor to each of Ajax, Whitby and Clarington, raising the size of Regional council to 31. “The resolution is the right one. Ajax is the most under- represented municipality in the Region,” he said. “I think we have to pursue this ag- gressively. Ajax can’t have a lesser voice.” It’s “a political non-starter” to reduce the number of poli- ticians in other communities, the mayor stated. “Let’s be frank. We need as many allies as we can get,” Mayor Parish added The composition of Re- gional council “hasn’t been adjusted for at least 10 years and it needs an adjustment,” he stated. The mayor added the Town’s wards need to be redistrib- uted and “we can’t do that properly” until the Region decides on the composition of council. Wa rds 1 and 2 Regional Councillor Scott Crawford agreed with the need for an- other Regional representative. “Yes, it’s time to restructure. Trying to stay at 28 and pull- ing representation from other municipalities won’t get off the ground,” Coun. Crawford said. “I see this decision as the beginning of a two-part process. If the Region says it won’t expand and Ajax won’t get an additional rep, we’re still looking at our own back- yard,” Coun. Crawford stated. Mr. de Rond said an ad- ditional Regional councillor would “add significantly to our task.” As for redrawing the To wn’s wards, Mr. de Rond stated, “We could do it this year, but we can’t do it until we know the composition (of Regional council). The con- figuration of the wards, there could be a lot of scenarios.” If the Region doesn’t fin- ish its work until some time in 2009, there wouldn’t be enough time for the Town to do its work, he said.

Walkers, runners and bikers will become a common sight now that the warmer weather has finally returned to Durham. AJAX — A new plan is going to be developed that will affect what recreation facilities and programs are needed in the future. The Recreation, Parks and Culture Master Plan will replace the existing Recreation, Parks and Open Space Strategic Plan, in use since 1999. The existing plan is out- dated because of growth in Ajax. Recreation Services Di- rector Howie Dayton said at a recent general govern- ment committee meeting that some public consul- tation will take place be- fore the end of June and an interim report is to be presented to council prior to the summer recess. “There’s ongoing consul- tation. There’s much more opportunity for dialogue. One of the things we liked about this proposal was the degree of public consulta- tion,” he noted. The hope is to have the study completed by Febru- ary of next year. The new plan will offer recommendations, a strat- egy to implement initia- tives and what the costs could be. There will also be infor- mation on what facilities, programs and services will be needed over the next 15 years. Mr. Dayton noted the new plan is being reviewed every five years to ensure it’s current. The contract for the work has been awarded to Monteith Brown Plan- ning Consultants for about $146,700. Included in the Town’s 2007 budget was $150,000, which is coming from de- velopment charges and the capital projects reserve.

Summer is a fantastic time in the life of a student. It’s a break from the normal routine: sleeping in, extend- ed bedtimes, and no homework—it’s a time when the normal rules don’t apply. Do you remember that old saying: no more school, no more books, no more teachers...well, you know how the rest goes. It’s time to rethink that saying, especially the no more books part. Did you know that students who take a total break from learning during the summer months could lose up to 40 percent of their learning momentum? Re- search has proven it - that’s why it’s so important to include education in your summer plans. Take stock of this past school year. Did your child encounter any academic obstacles? Summer is the perfect time to not only catch up in those problem ar- eas but to get ahead. Don’t exclude summer school from your summer planning because of any stereo- types you may have. Summer learning is an opportu- nity, not an obstacle. There is typically less pressure and your child can get the individual attention that he or she may not get throughout the school year. But if school doesn’t fi t into your summer plans, there are plenty of activities to do at home that keep the learning momentum going—because little minds that stay sharp over the summer are ready to jump right back into the swing of things when fall arrives.

Companions can be vegetation or animal. By vegetation companions, we mean plants that repel or kill in- sects. By animal companions, we mean insects that prey on other insects. Fine herbs and aromatic plants are particularly effective. They release a strong odour that masks the smell of their companions which are more fragile and more susceptible to falling prey to harmful insects. Plant them generously between your perennials and your an- nuals. Basil is particularly effective at controlling many types of insects. As for garden vegetables, the onions help the carrots...that help the onions. Indeed, one keeps the flies away from the other! Instead of planting an entire sec- tion of carrots and another of onions, plant one row of onions, then one row of carrots, and so on. Be careful of certain grains and vegetables, such as mustard greens, lambsquarters and eggplant that attract harmful insects. These should be planted a good distance A natural environment for your flowers and vegetables Companion planting is a simple method that consists of providing the best possible environment for the cultivation of vegetables and flowers by selecting their neighbours. C away from the vegetable garden to serve as bait. Castor oil plants also have a deadly effect on nematode pests that attack the roots of plants in flowerbeds. It also controls moles and other damaging insects quite well. In the animal kingdom, the bee is one of the most dan- gerous predators for the majority of insects. Chamomile, mint, goldenrod and fennel are particularly effective at attracting bees to your flower or vegetable garden. ompost is simply humus, a rich substance that is produced by billions of micro-organisms and looks like earth. This sub- stance is composed of simple elements, such as nitrogen and carbon, which are essential to vegetation. Composting is an easy way to reduce one third of household garbage and produce a perfect fertilizer for the garden and landscape. All organic materials can be composted. However, a careful mixture is needed to obtain the optimum yield. On the one hand, garden waste is made of leaves (shredded if possible), dry grass, weeds (pay attention to ripe seeds), old soil and soft vegetables stems. On the other hand, there’s kitchen waste including fruits, vegetables, crushed egg shells, tea bags, coffee (including the filter), and shredded paper. You must never ever co post any animal products in any form, whatsoever, nor plastics metals, harmful plants, toxic products, or animal droppings. To prepare a site for composting, choose a sunny area with good drainage. Turn the soil. Use chicken wire to delineate the site. The next step is to cover the bot- tom with a layer of small branches to allow the air to circulate and improve the drainage. Alternate the layers of kitchen waste and garden waste. Add a compost accelerator product, available in garden centres. Turn the compost stack often to ventilate it. The compost is ready to use when it turns a nice dark colour, breaks apart, and releases an earthy smell.

You can install a gazebo or a pergola to fully enjoy beautiful summer days without being overwhelmed by the hot sun. It is important that you choose the structure that will best suit the use you want to make if it, its posi- tion in your yard, and your budget. A gazebo is an elegant structure for an ideal rest area. It is usually of significant size; models are avail- able in four, six, or eight sides. It can be construct- ed of different materials and is sometimes com- pleted with trellis inserts or panels, railing with posts, a curbed or a double roof, and other decorative elements. Most gazebos are set close to the ground.

In addition to shielding against the rain and the hot sun, a gazebo equipped with a door and screen windows will also protect against mosquitoes. A pergola creates a pleasant shady area in a yard. This decorative structure offers support for climbing plants and a place to hang planters. Made of horizontal or slightly sloped cross- I beams over vertical supports, this small garden construction is easy to install and to dismantle. Usually made of treated wood, a trellis can be added for additional privacy. It is installed directly on the ground with the posts anchored in cement pillars. It can also adjoin the house so that it can serve as an intermediary area between the interior and the exterior. A pergola can also be installed over a terrace and covered with a canvas to create a shady arrangement for the patio furniture. PublishingPublishing all summer!all summer!

When finished, the school will be home to almost 2,000 students and 150 staff mem- bers. Preliminary work has begun, such as mov- ing some portables. To wn planner Kim Darroch told council’s community affairs and planning committee on Tuesday that when the work is com- pleted, “students will have access to a higher quality of education,” adding the “existing facility is outdated.” The school was built in 1950 and last ex- panded in 1971. There are currently 120 staff members and 1,400 students. The renovation and addition will increase the number of classrooms from 66 (includ- ing 14 portables) to 87. The number of porta- bles will drop by three to 11 when the work is done, and the portables will be in the same area. The project carries a price tag of about $21.4 million. Mayor Steve Parish stated, “I’m so very pleased that the Durham District School Board has approved this expansion.” The big issue for committee members in approving the site plan submitted by the board was the loss of soccer fields during construction. Ward 2 local Councillor Joe Dickson said, “There’s a significant diminishing of youth soccer fields.” Ms. Darroch noted it’s the “equivalent loss of two senior fields and six minor and micro fields. The loss is significant and it’s a strain on the recreation department for permitting purposes.” The loss of fields is temporary, she said, adding that by the time the work is done, there will be the same number of fields, she added. Moez Ebrahim, an architect for the school board, said “The main soccer field will be built this summer, so it will be ready for the ’08 season.” The track and football-soccer field at the south end of the school is going to be moved to the north side. The school building is being extended south, so the existing field will be replaced with parking spaces. In addition to the new north field, two smaller soccer pitches, one to the north and one to the south, will be built.

The OPJAHL board of gover- nors recently approved the ap- plication of St. Thomas of Villanova Knights of King City to join the league. The Knights begin play in the 2007-08 season. Villanova is the second private high school to have a team in the tier II junior league. They’ll join the St. Michael’s Buzzers as a school team. The Knights will play in the league’s North Conference, swell- ing that division’s ranks to eight teams. The league’s board of gover- nors still hasn’t ruled on the status of two other teams -- the Toronto Thunderbirds and the Couchiching Terriers -- which took a leave of absence from the OPJAHL last sea- son. [ Car racing ] Pickering driver wins feature race PICKERING — A Pickering race car driver had an unbelievable week- end on the track at Mosport during the Victoria Day long weekend. Racing in the Formula 1200 se- ries, which was part of the Victoria Day Speed- fest Weekend at the Clar- ington-based track, Frank Steinhausen won the fea- ture race of the series. Starting from the second position in the field of 19 cars, Stein- hausen passed the leader on the last corner of the 15-lap race. “It was a great start to the sea- son,” says Steinhausen, who’s been racing his Re/Max-sponsored car for the past seven years and was considering retirement after last season, but reconsidered. In the first of two races in the series during the weekend, Stein- hausen finished second, missing first place by about three feet at the fin- ish line. Steinhausen has enjoyed great success in the series, winning the points championship in 2005, while finishing as runner-up in two other seasons. Toronto FC’s lucky charm Irish midfielder Ronnie O’Brien living in Pickering By Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Yo u won’t hear him put it this way, but there’s a celebrity among us. In fact, Toronto FC midfielder Ronnie O’Brien, who’s been living with relatives in Pickering while looking for a home with his wife Vicki, was once nearly voted Time Magazine’s Person of the Century from an internet poll. Again, though, this is some- thing he’d rather not talk about, preferring to leave it in his past. What O’Brien is more than happy to speak on, however, is the present, which sees the talented Irish native making a big contri- bution to the recent success of the expansion Major League Soccer club. Still recovering from a knee in- jury sustained in the pre-season, O’Brien made his Toronto debut May 12 against the Chicago Fire, a game that not only saw the team’s first ever victory in five tries, but also its first goal -- three of them to be exact -- in a 3-1 decision at BMO Field. O’Brien nearly fired home that franchise first, too, but his hard shot was deflected just over the goal by Chicago keeper Matt Pick- ens. “I think I might have left the field and just gone home if I had scored it,” he joked. “I think I might have just quit then and there.” Good thing he didn’t then. Instead, the 28-year-old has proven to be a stabilizing influ- ence on the new Toronto club, which also won its next game, 1-0 over Houston Dynamo on the strength of a well-placed free kick from O’Brien that was headed home by Andy Welsh. To ronto FC head coach Mo Johnston has certainly appreci- ated the contributions of O’Brien, even if he realizes his wonky right knee is holding him back right now. “I actually feel bad for Ron- nie, because he wants to give ev- erything he has, and in terms of doing that during the game he did,” Johnston said after the win over Houston. “You can see it, I know Ronnie can play a lot better than what he’s playing, but even Ronnie O’Brien at 75 per cent is still a hell of a player.” Typically modest, O’Brien re- fused to take credit for the team’s recent turnaround, which has been showcased to large and en- thusiastic crowds in Toronto. “I hope in a way I help,” was all he would offer about his own contribution. “Everybody’s just working really, really hard. We’re working hard in training getting to know each other. We’re a bit more like a fluid machine. I think it’s paid off, from the training ground we’ve been able to bring it onto the field.” O’Brien comes from an impres- sive soccer pedigree, a native of Bray, Ireland who once played for the legendary Juventus team of the Italian Serie A. It was during this time, in 1999, that O’Brien received the most votes for Time’s Person of the Century, thanks to an e-mail campaign started by an Irish soccer fan. He was later re- moved from the poll when a rule determined that “whimsical can- didates” would not be counted. Despite great international suc- cess with Irish U-18, U-19 and U-21 teams, O’Brien never caught on after signing a five-year con- tract with Juventus, and ended up with several lesser European clubs before crossing the pond to play for Dallas of the MLS in 2002. It took him all of 19 minutes to score his first goal with Dallas, and after a broken leg ruined his 2003 season, he was named to the MLS Best XI team the next two. After a disappointing 2006 cam- paign, he requested a trade and was pleased to end up playing under Johnston, a former Scot- tish great who had been pursuing him. As for the quality of play in North America, while it’s not what he was accustom to back home, O’Brien says it’s steadily improv- ing. “The league has gotten better every year I’ve been here,” he says. “I think the standard is really good and I think a lot of the players that are coming over now, the Europe- an players, really see that. I don’t think you can expect an easy ride anymore. You’re going to have to work hard for your place and to do well in the league. I think that speaks volumes for it.” photo courtesy of Paul Giamou/MLS/WireImage.com To r onto FC midfielder Ronnie O’Brien eyes the ball during a recent Major League Soccer match against Chicago. Originally from Ireland, O’Brien cur- rently makes his home in Pickering. PICKERING — Hershey comes to Pickering next month for the East Ontario qualifiers of a major U.S. youth track and field meet.

When a cure was not to be, He closed his arms around you and whispered, "Come to Me". In tears we saw you sinking. We watched you fade away. Our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping so peacefully free from pain, We could not wish you back to suffer so again. So keep your arms around her Lord, and give her special care. Make up for all she suffered and all that seemed unfair. Loving and missing you every second of every day. It hardly seems like a year has passed. We could not have asked for a better Wife, Mother and Grandmother.

The team went unde- feated to win the recent Spring Fling Cross Border To urnament in Baltimore, Ontario. Playing an Ameri- can team from Erie, Dur- ham West cruised to a 6-0 victory to claim the title. S coring two goals each were Nicole Schaefer and Jessica Mof- fatt, while sin- gle goals were scored by Gina Draves and Emily Mathieson. There were plenty of assists to go around, as Sydney Johnson and Amanda Habenschuss chipped in two each, with one apiece from Schaefer, Valerie Bartlett, Amanda Stark, Mathieson, Laura Huntington and Draves. O utstanding defensive play from Habenschuss, Draves, Ashley Arsenault, Ta ylor Jorgensen, Bartlett and Katie Evans made life a whole lot easier for goal- tender Krystal Koenig. Captain Brooke Cormier and Nicole Bishop were unable to play in the cham- pionship game. In round-robin play, the Lightning opened with a 3-0 win over the host Bal- timore team. Putting the girls on the scoreboard first was Evans, assisted by Moffatt and Schaefer. Tracy Riches netted the second goal, with helpers from Stark and Mathieson. An unassisted effort by as- sistant captain Huntington resulted in the third marker. Koenig regis- tered the shut- out. Game two saw Durham We st easily defeat West Northumberland, 5-1. Riches potted two goals, with other markers coming from Johnson, Moffatt and Schaefer. Moffatt, Schaefer and Stark each garnered two assists, with single helpers from Johnson and Alex Beach. In a preview of the final, Durham West eked out a 3-2 victory over Erie. Stark, Johnson and Mathieson each found the back of the net. Defender Bartlett re- ceived her first assist in the round-robin, while other assists came from Riches, Beach, Schaefer and Hun- tington. The championship capped off a stellar season for the squad, as they had a record of 18 wins, seven ties and seven losses in 32 games. Members of the coach- ing staff were Paul Corm- ier, Duncan Mathieson, Bob Riches, Paul Hunting- ton and Joanne Beach.

Photographs are among the most important. An album full of professional photos and the amateur pictures guests take offer a vivid recreation of a wedding, which can take years to plan, but seems to be over in an instant. Couples should take an active role in planning wedding photos, working in conjunction with their profes- sional photographer to capture the magic of the day. To do so, consider these strategies for lasting wedding day memories. Get to know your photographer and have discussions about what types of photos you want. Many larger photography businesses have a number of photographers working under one business name. In this case, you may not actually meet your photographer until your wedding day. Rather than have this happen, consider a smaller photography busi- ness or make it a point to know who will be handling your wedding and have a conversation with this person. Create a photo wish list. There are certain photos that will be standard in a photographer’s repertoire (cutting the cake, fi rst dance, exchanging of vows) that you will not need to request. However, there may be spe- cial shots or people, such as an out-of-town relative, you want in your Beautiful Wedding Memories Can be a Snap album. Make a list of what you want and share your ideas with your photographer well in advance so that he or she can plan to include these shots. Think outside of the box when designing a wedding album. Thanks to digital photography, photographers offer many types of unique photo touches that can make for a very unique album. Consider black-and- white photos, sepia tone or black and white with hand-colored effects. Mix and match to vary the visual interest throughout the album. Also, interchange portrait shots with candid moments. Candids offer a great way to remember the energy of the day. Leave enough time for the photographer to do his or her work. Rushed photos may result in a less desirable fi nished product. Schedule ample time before and after the ceremony so that the photographer can take the desired shots, such as an hour or more. Have a backup plan for inclement weather. What blushing bride doesn’t want beautiful outdoor elements as the backdrop to some photos? Unfortunately, Mother Nature doesn’t always cooperate. Have a plan if it’s raining, snowing or a tornado blows through. Your photographer may have an indoor studio where you can take some lovely portraits.
