Opinions differ on what the move will mean to Durham By Jennifer Stone jstone@durhamregion.com DURHAM — York Region is acting like a spouse who wants out of a marriage but doesn’t want to be the one to leave, says a regional councillor. York has backed down on its plan to be an equal partner with Durham -- in terms of provid- ing waste and ownership -- on a proposed incinerator to deal with residual waste saying they will instead only be in for 12 per cent. “It’s almost as if York is setting itself up like a married couple who doesn’t get along, but nei- ther one wants to leave,” said Oshawa councillor April Cullen. The decision comes on the heels of East Gwillimbury, the only short-listed site of five not to be located in Clarington, hav- ing said it would not be a willing host to such a facility. According to a report to Dur- ham’s joint Works and Finance committee, York will continue to be a full partner in the Envi- ronmental Assessment already underway, but will only com- mit to providing about 20,000 tonnes -- 12 per cent -- of the garbage to run the incinerator, at the minimum facility size of 150,000 tonnes. Originally a 50-50 partner, York staff “did another analysis of our diversion program... and the res- idue after all the programs were underway and concluded that for the next 10 years or so, our needs won’t be much beyond 20 tonnes,” said Vaughn councillor Mario Ferry. That’s largely due to the fact York is looking at another type of diversion, whereby it will sell its garbage to a company that will make it into pellets which are in turn burned by other com- panies to produce energy. But York continues as a partner, said Coun. Ferry. “We need to make sure there’s a long-term solu- tion, should come of these other solutions not work out,” he said. There is a clause in the Memo- randum of Understanding that would allow York to increase its use of the facility. York would be responsible for dealing with any costs associ- ated with that. In other words, said Claring- ton councillor Charlie Trim, who chairs the Region’s works com- mittee, the pellet technology is “not proven, and that’s why they 980 KINGSTON ROAD, PICKERING Between Liverpool Rd & Whites Rd. 905-839-6159 www.saturnofpickering.saturncanada.com Saturn Saab of Pickering The North American Car of the Year.

The body of the Bowman- ville man, killed Monday while serving in Afghani- stan, is on a plane expected to land in Trenton at about 7 p.m. Friday. After a short ceremony, expected to last between 30 and 45 minutes, the car bearing the soldier will begin the trek down Hwy. 401 towards Toronto. Ex- pected to be on hand in Trenton are Defence Min- ister Gordon O’Connor and other dignitaries. Trooper Caswell, who was just six weeks from re- turning home from his six- month stint overseas, was killed Monday when the ve- hicle in which he was riding was struck by an explosive device about 40 kilometres north of Kandahar City. The 25-year-old was a member of the Royal Cana- dian Dragoons, based out of Canadian Forces Base Pet- awawa. Funeral arrangements for the former Bowmanville High School student were not yet finalized at The News Advertiser’s press time. Fallen soldier making his way home Brief encounter led to gunfire By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A Pickering man who shot at a stranger during a brief encounter on a city street has been sen- tenced to four-and-a-half years in prison. Shamal Harris, who was 18 at the time of the inci- dent in April 2005, was sen- tenced Thursday by Superi- or Court Justice Alex Sosna. With the equivalent of 22 months of pretrial custody, Mr. Harris was sent to a federal penitentiary for the balance of his sentence. Mr. Harris pleaded guilty in March to firing a gun with intent to injure. Court heard Mr. Harris, then 18, was a passenger in a car on Alwin Circle on the evening of April 11, 2005. The vic- tim, who was on his way to a convenience store, saw a vehicle being driven by an acquaintance stop briefly beside the Honda in which Mr. Harris was riding. Unbeknownst to the vic- tim, his acquaintance had been involved in an alterca- tion with Mr. Harris some- time earlier and when they met on Alwin that evening Mr. Harris had flashed a handgun at the friend, the prosecutor said. The victim pulled along- side Mr. Miller’s vehicle as his friend pulled away and asked, “What’s up?”, court heard. Mr. Harris pulled a hand- gun and fired a single shot that penetrated the driver’s side door of Mr. Rogers’s vehicle. Mr. Rogers fol- lowed Mr. Miller’s vehicle and memorized the licence plate number, which he re- layed to Durham police. Mr. Harris pleaded guilty before his trial was to begin.

A staff report on the first draft of the 2007/2008 esti- mates was received by the Durham Catholic District School Board during its June 11 meeting. This year’s bud- get challenges include less reserves to draw from and en- rolment decline. After using its remaining operating re- serves, the board still needs to cut $5.5 million to balance its books. Proposed reductions include: • $2.8 million from teaching staff, with $1.08 million of it coming from special educa- tion. The money represents 40 teachers, including 12 special education program support teachers, and takes in enrol- ment decline, primary class size, and staffing formula ad- justments. • $550,000 from custodial re- tirements; 11 staff are partici- pating in an early retirement incentive program. • $400,000 in facilities services - utilities, through anticipat- ed savings and from energy management and collabora- tive purchasing. • $490,000 from coaches, co- ordinators and consultants, including $90,000 from spe- cial education. The amount represents six literacy coach- es and a special education co- ordinator. • $270,000 from school ad- ministration, which includes 2.5 elementary vice-princi- pals and .5 secretarial staff from enrolment decline. • $400,000, including $350,000 from special education, equal- ling 10 education assistants and a computer technician. • $200,000 from school bud- gets. The final draft is scheduled for approval June 25. Catholic board looks to cut staff, administration FOLLOW ALL OUR BLOGGERS: Visit durhamregion.typepad.com want a fall-back position.” Not having a 50-50 part- nership could be a prob- lem, given the size of the project, said Coun. Cul- len. “As a councillor, being an ex-finance committee member, that raises huge red flags for me on the business side... Basically, you’re assuming the entire risk,” said Councillor Cul- len. That isn’t necessarily a negative thing, said Coun. Trim. “This would give Dur- ham Region full control,” said Coun. Trim. “When you’re in business, if you have control, there really is a benefit.” But some feel York’s decision to be much less involved with an incinera- tor makes it too financially risky for Durham. “It raises the risk to Dur- ham someplace into the stratosphere,” said Os- hawa’s Brian Nicholson, who believes the process should stop now and the Region should explore dif- ferent options for waste management. According to the staff report, “total capital costs are estimated to be in the range of $150 million to $200 million; Durham’s capital share is now esti- mated to be in the range of $130 million to $174 mil- lion, to be financed pri- marily through regional debentures.” By the time it’s paid off, in 20 or 25 years, “you have an old facility that you have to pay to decommission and then, you have to build a new one,” said Coun. Nichol- son, who brought forward a motion, accepted by the committee, to have Durham’s medical officer of health peer review all health-related documents on the matter. Both human health and financial risk must be con- sidered, said Coun. Cullen, who chairs the Region’s health and social services committee. “There seems to be a level of risk to public health” associated with in- cineration, she said. “Whether that risk is manageable is the ques- tion .. We’ve got to be careful that we’re not tak- ing risks that we can’t mit- igate.” Coun. Cullen said she’s looking forward to hearing what the Medical Officer of Health has to say. “I’m going to weigh very heavily my decisions and my arguments on what he says,” she said.

Officers with the Drug En- forcement Unit assisted by the Air 1 helicopter closed in on the crop, in a wooded area on the 4th Concession in Brock Township, Monday. Cops discovered 1,447, foot- high plants that appeared to have been recently trans- planted to the outdoors, said Durham police Sergeant Paul McCurbin. As police approached a man fled; cops trailing him found recently-watered plants and hoses and electri- cal cords leading to a home nearby, Sgt. McCurbin said. Arrest warrants have been issued for two suspects.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 15, 2007 durhamregion.com City understands need for downtown S ure, the aisles of Best Buy are lined with some of the best electronics and gadgets, and if you go to Home Depot, there’s no doubt you can find the barbecue of your dreams and just about all of the tools you need to make your garden beautiful. That said, box stores do not make a downtown, and Pickering needs one. Pickering needs a place where people can stroll up and down the street, go into shops, and stop off for lunch or coffee between shopping or running er- rands. At a recent planning and develop- ment committee meeting at City Hall, a development company, Brookdale Centre Inc., shared its plans for devel- opment facing Kingston Road, roughly between Dixie and Liverpool roads and north of Hwy. 401, if passed by Council. Council has already approved a Home Depot on the site, which will be one storey. The company is also asking for two more one-storey buildings, which may be a Best Buy and the other could be a restaurant. Brookdale’s latest plan agreed to make the buildings fronting Kingston Road two storeys. But one resident at the meeting said Pickering needs more culture. If we go with more box stores, how is that going to happen? The City’s planning and development department showed some samples of how it envisions Pickering’s downtown at the same meeting. It wants buildings to contain at least two functional floors, most likely with stores on the bottom floors and businesses on top. The City is also proposing extending Walnut Road south of Kingston Road. The downtown the City envisions will allow for more walking and outdoor activity, giving residents a place to meet and socialize. At box malls, people gen- erally drive there, grab what they need and leave. Having a street lined with shops and businesses will encourage shoppers to stay around the area for a while longer. Box stores probably won’t attract out- siders or tourists either. Ajax has enough of them that its residents probably won’t come to Pickering for their box store fill. If Pickering had a nice street, lined with shops, restaurants, cafes and trees, perhaps that would draw more people. As for Pickering’s residents, they already have a box-mall haven - except a Home Depot, which is probably why Council approved it. If you look at the GO Station on a Sat- urday morning, the platform is packed with people ready to drop cash at stores and restaurants on similar streets in Toronto. If this was available in Picker- ing, perhaps residents wouldn’t have to travel so far for public life, and busi- nesses in Pickering could benefit from the cash. If Pickering wants to grow and devel- op, generate business and the economy, it’s time to get in gear and create a downtown. Pickering used to be consid- ered a town; now it’s called a city. Why not make it one? Kristen Calis’s column ap- pears every third Friday. E-mail kcalis@durhamregion.com. Kristen Calis staff writer LETTER TO THE EDITOR Welcome funds to improve bay If you fix it, they will come. It’s a line stolen from a movie, of course, but certainly ap- plicable to Frenchman’s Bay in Pickering. No one knows for sure how the bay got its moniker, but with- out a doubt it has the potential to be a tourism gem in Pickering, Durham Region and even on Lake Ontario. There’s a problem, however. The bay entrance and exit are narrow and shallow, a hindrance not only to local but also to other Great Lakes boaters. It’s almost like having one of the doors to Pickering virtually shut, something businesses in the area and Pickering residents in general would like to see rem- edied. So, we were ecstatic when Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Wayne Arthurs delivered a $300,000 cheque to the City and Toronto and Region Conservation (TRC) recently. The money will be used for an environmental assessment and to improve the entrance into the bay, making it safer for boaters in general and a more amenable destination for out-of-towners. The latter will find, once they’re safely docked at a local marina, an area that’s becoming more and more popular in Pickering, boasting attractions such as Millennium Square and the burgeoning area at the foot of Liverpool Road. The Province, no doubt thanks to Mr. Arthurs’ experience, is prudent to recognize the bay’s potential. Now it’s time to use the funding wisely to ensure the entrance is improved and made safer, widened and deepened so that Lake Ontario boaters can come in and enjoy the area, bringing their tourist dollars. Of course, Frenchman’s Bay is a natural feature that has suffered, an unfortunate by-product of the growth in the City. So, as much as possible, this project needs to be, as Mayor Dave Ryan says, “the next positive step in the rehabilitation of the bay.” One more quote, from former Uxbridge mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor, the TRC’s chairwoman. “Looking to the future, Frenchman’s Bay will regain its promi- nence within Lake Ontario and the Great Lakes Region through a safe and properly designed harbour entrance,” she said in a press release. It’s a vision all of Pickering shares. Don’t give bullies control To the editor: Haven’t you all had enough of the cruel words, the whispers when you walk down the hallway, or the glares that stare you down? Enough is enough! Stop the bullying! It’s a known fact that bullies are very unhappy people trying to fill their happiness by putting others down. They only feel in control while they’re destroying someone else’s life, maybe be- cause they can’t face what’s going on in their own. The sad truth is that people don’t like them for the person they really are... they’re just afraid not to like them. What we all need to do is stop giving the bullies control, and the best way to do this is to just simply ignore them. They will do anything to get as many people on their side as they can. Do not give in! The ones who do are just as guilty as the bully. Stand up for what you believe in because if it were you in that situation you would hope that your friends were strong enough to stand up for you. And believe me, when the bully has had enough with one per- son they will move on to the next and the next one could be you. So don’t give in to this vicious cycle because what goes around will eventually come around. And where will your friends be then? D.W.

Health professionals call it “food insecurity.” It’s what happens when there isn’t enough money after rent, bills and other expenses, to afford ad- equate food. Food insecurity can mean having too little food, poor quality food, food that isn’t cultur- ally appropriate or a lack of variety. “Durham looks like a self-suffi- cient community, but there is hun- ger here,” says Deborah Lay, a public health nutritionist with the Durham Region Health Department. “It’s a huge concern. Food banks were never supposed to be an institution in this country but now people rely on them.” In 2006, the Canadian Association of Food Banks (CAFB) organized the first annual National Hunger Aware- ness Day. This year, food banks and community partners across Canada observed the second annual event on June 5. “The aim is to create awareness. In this wealthy country, we have 750,000 people a month visiting food banks,” says Micky Fraterman, a spokeswoman for the CAFB. “It could be your next-door neigh- bour or someone sitting next to you on the bus. It could be anyone.” Ms. Fraterman said the number of people using food banks in Canada has increased 99 per cent in the last 15 years and suburban or seem- ingly wealthy communities are not immune. Ms. Lay is one of many experts who point to a lack of afford- able housing as a contributing factor to hunger in Durham Region. A survey of Durham food bank users conducted by the Daily Bread Food Bank last year revealed many are spending up to 65 per cent of their monthly budget on shelter -- most financial experts say 25 to 35 per cent is the ideal. The Daily Bread survey also in- dicates 41 per cent of Durham food bank users are children, while 44 per cent of clients fall under the “working poor” category, earning between $7.75 and $10 per hour. According to Feed the Need Dur- ham (FTND) -- a central agency aimed at helping the region’s food banks network -- there are 25 emer- gency food programs operating in Durham. These include 18 tradi- tional food banks where people can walk in off the street to receive food and “closed programs” like women’s shelters that provide emergency food to their own clients. FTND Chairwoman June Kin- niburgh said it is difficult to say whether Dur- ham’s emergency food resources are filling demand, because each agency keeps its own statistics. She agrees with Ms. Lay that the focus should be on solving the systemic issues that cause hun- ger, not simply opening more food banks. “Food banks are not the an- swer. They’re serving a need that’s immediate but we need something long term,” she says. “Things like more affordable housing and pro- grams to help low-income people pay their hydro and gas bills.” In addition to food banks, Dur- ham is home to a wide range of specialty food resources, like the Pre and Post Natal Nutrition Program providing drop-in centres where ex- pecting and new moms can pick up food and a Community Garden Net- work where people can grow their own produce.

Some internet sites can quote you a car insurance rate online, some even boast about being able to quote up to 5 insurance company rates. Generally, these sites have a vested interest in writing your business. InsuranceHotline.com’s only interest is providing you with the lowest rate. Ontario Government Rate Comparison Lee Romanov, President Dare to Compare All Drivers:Good drivers, young or older, drivers with a ticket or accident need to compare to ensure they’re not overpaying for their auto insurance. Fear:Many drivers feel that if they switch insurance companies and have an accident, somehow it would count more against them than if they stayed with the same insurance company. It doesn’t. Drivers also fear switching insurance companies because they feel that they will lose some sort of “loyalty discount”. Your discount should mean that you're already paying the best price, so go to InsuranceHotline.com to ensure you are. InsuranceHotline.com simply tells you which 3 insurance companies have the best rates for your Auto, Home and Life insurance. Then you can make an informed decision where to spend your money. PS.Drivers comparing their insurance rate tell us they find savings of $780 or more on InsuranceHotline.com. *Note: This rate example taken from the Ontario Government's website, www.fsco.gov.on.ca, is a comparison of only 1 driver's profile. If one variable changes, like age, vehicle, postal code, driving record, and so forth, then all rates change. Insurance companies that had the lowest rates, could suddenly have the highest rates. There is no one insurance company with the lowest rate for everyone, but there is one insurance company with the lowest rate for you, which can be found through InsuranceHotline.com. Knock,Knock.. If you’re wondering what the big fuss is about in comparing your car insurance rate, look at this chart. The Ontario Government’s website shows a $12,102 difference in insurance rates for the same car and driver in the Toronto area. The government’s message is to SHOP and COMPARE or pay dearly for it. 424 different insurance rates were quoted, from 8 postal code areas for a 23 year old female, with a ticket and accident, driving a 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier. You can try to find the lowest insurance rate yourself, or let InsuranceHotline.com find it for you. THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 15, 2007 PAGE 9 A/Pdurhamregion.com Durham school boards down, but only a little By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Grade 10 literacy results for Durham are still above the provincial average, but not as much as before. The percentage of students who passed the 2006/2007 Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test in Durham’s Catholic and public school board was down a bit, ac- cording to results released June 13. Scores are based on first-time eli- gible, fully participating successful students. The provincial average was 84 per cent. “We believe we do quite well,” said Luigia Ayotte, the Durham District School Board’s programs superintendent. “Certainly we feel for first-time writing, being above the province, slightly above, is good.” Although 87 per cent of students in both boards passed last year’s test, the Durham District School Board had 85 per cent this year, and the Durham Catholic District School Board, 86. The test is ad- ministered by Ontario’s Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) and measures if students have the appropriate reading and writing skills. “We are continuing the trend we’ve developed over the last three or four years; the rate of success is quite high,” said Patricia Manson, the Catholic board’s director of education. The board’s results have re- mained consistent due to its focus on literacy in secondary and el- ementary schools, she noted. As for if the board’s success rate can get much higher, Ms. Manson said she would love for all students to be successful the first time they write the test, but she understands it takes longer for some. Programs are in place to prepare students to take it again. She added the board will dive into results to see if there are areas that need more focus. This year, it looked at the outcome of boys compared to girls. She added re- search indicates boys everywhere aren’t as successful in writing the test. From this year’s results, 79 per cent of boys and 88 per cent of girls in the Durham Catholic board who wrote for the first time were successful. “So that, I’m anticipating, will be one of the areas we’ll be looking at,” said Ms. Manson. The Durham District School Board also has programs in place to help students who aren’t suc- cessful. Most students who don’t pass the first time do so on the second attempt, said Ms. Ayotte. If they still don’t, they can take the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course, which includes intensive work in bringing them up to the expected level. Other initiatives are also in place to help students succeed. “This is a really high stakes test; it’s a gatekeeper for graduation,” said Ms. Ayotte. School improvement teams will gather centrally to share informa- tion on their results, she said. Students must pass the test in order to graduate from high school.

McLaughlin 91 91 Sinclair 94 91 Uxbridge 95 91 Education reporter Crystal Crimi took a few hours this week to write the Grade 10 literacy test. Read how she did and what she thought of the test. Ahhh, the Grade 10 literacy test – the gateway to graduation accord- ing to a public school board official. Considering I graduated from high school in 1999 and have been work- ing as a journalist for six years, there’s something definitely wrong if I can’t pass. But I did. By how much, I don’t know - you’re only told successful or unsuccessful, and according to Phil Serruya, communications and pub- lic affairs manager for the Education Quality and Accountability Office, I was “absolutely successful.” “Did you get the one other media had problems with?” he asked, his tone indicating a smile. “The one with the vitamins?” I replied. Laughing a little, he confirms that’s the question. Yeah, I got it, but only because an article I read a couple weeks ago revealed the answer. I might have got it anyway, but who’s to know. The question in question: select the sentence written correctly. F) Mrs. Brown is a teacher who help students. G) Dr. Smith, like many other doc- tors, study diseases. H) Of all the building materials, wood is one of the best. J) Vitamin A is one of many vita- mins that is good for you. Remembering the article I previ- ously read, I circled H, but it’s easy to see why one would chose J; it sounds right. The flaw, vitamins are plural, so they are good for you. It’s tricky because the subject is Vitamin A, which is good for you and singular. That being said, most of the other questions were pretty straight for- ward: read the following selection and answer the questions that fol- low. There were two that got me in session one of the two booklet test. The first one was in the selection, ‘Nelson Mandela made an honor- ary Canadian’. ‘“Your respect for di- versity within your own society and your tolerant and civilized manner of dealing with the challenges of dif- ference and diversity have always been an inspiration,” says former Prime Minister Jean Chretien. The test taker has to decide if the mean- ing of tolerant represents: F) patient, G) pleasant, H) different, J) accept- ing. My gut instinct said J, it’s the ob- vious answer, but then I read it a few more times and opted for F. Wrong! I still think it could be either one. The second question I got wrong was in a selection about running shoes. It begins with famous people of today who love running shoes, although running shoes have been around for centuries. It then includes a history of shoes, comparing them to what’s available now. So, is the in- formation in the passage organized by time, through comparisons, using supported opinion, or by advantages and disadvantages? Time right - it’s the first thing that popped in my mind and I would have been right, but the piece doesn’t start off with chronological order. It starts with people of today who love a product of the past, then switches to chrono- logical order, while also comparing the quality of the first shoes to mod- ern ones. I picked comparison. After finishing the test, I asked a couple of people in the office what they thought and they could see it being either. Of the writing, my favourite exercises were choosing a time of the year and explaining how it affects me, creating a newspaper article to match a headline and photo, and my No. 1, stating one of my goals in life and why it’s important to me. If my math is correct, I scored 75 out of a potential 82, but that’s open to debate since I was the marker. I only called EQAO with my final mark so Mr. Serruya could use the equation in determining if I passed or failed. Other than the multiple choice, I had to judge how much my writ- ing was worth using the guidelines provided. I didn’t give myself perfect, but it’s possible others wouldn’t have graded me as high for things - it’s up for debate.

The Durham Catholic District School Board is proposing alternative programs to support student success for those with mul- tiple risk factors, such as low self-esteem, substance abuse and high absences and lates, heard those at its June 11 meeting. A report received by the board says there are 8,726 secondary students in its system and a seven per cent early-leaver rate, ac- cording to 2005-06 indicators of success. The report states research indicates that placing students in a responsive, support- ive and flexible environment can lead to successful school completion. Board staff intend to design student success programs for those 12-to-18-year olds and at risk. Outcomes would include more credit accu- mulation, higher graduation rates, reduced truancy rates, re-engagement of students, work-related skill development, and parent support programs. The board is hoping to receive funding from the Province through its student success initiatives such as Bill 212, the Education Amendment Act. The change requires boards to provide at least one program for suspended students and one for expelled, which the Catholic board doesn’t have. A Lighthouse Project Funding Proposal has been submitted to the ministry of education to get money to support staffing and transportation for the program, which requires four teachers, two educational as- sistants, and two support staff.

The City looks at sustainabil- ity through five lenses: healthy environment, healthy society, healthy economy, responsible development and responsible consumption. Therefore, the planning and development department has been working on the Sustainable Neighbourhood Plan (SNP) over the past few years. The neigh- bourhood scorecard is one of many aspects of the SNP. Catherine Rose, the City’s planning manager, explained work has focused on new devel- opment, but no one was concen- trating on existing neighbour- hoods. She said doing so will provide a base for each neighbourhood. City staff has identified six at- tributes for the scorecard (cur- rently in the draft stage): com- plete and connected; land-effi- cient and transit-friendly; safe and comfortable; adaptable and resilient; energy and resource ef- ficient; and green and healthy. Each category is graded out of 10, making a total of 60. No one can fail it, Ms. Rose said; it’s sim- ply a measure of what is needed in each neighbourhood. “It would provide you with a benchmark to monitor change in sustainability over time,” she said. Therefore, if a new develop- ment were to take place, follow- ing the scorecard will allow for either improving certain aspects that scored low, or keeping inte- gral parts in the neighbourhood that scored high. The department also hopes to get public input to compare to its own findings. The scorecard draft will go to council on June 18. The neighbourhood planning process will wrap up later this year. *FreeTransferOfferisapplicabletonewCaribbean,Europe,HawaiiandAlaskabookingsonlymadewithEncoreCruisesbetweenJune2andJune30,2007.MinimumbookingvalueofCDN$1,300perpersonapplies for Caribbean, Hawaii and Alaska Inside Passage and CDN $2,200 per person for Europe and Alaska Northbound or Southbound sailings.

Notice of Public Information Centre (PIC) #3 407 East Environmental Assessment (EA) Study Technically Recommended Route THE STUDY The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) in consultation with the Region of Durham, its constituents and surrounding municipalities, is undertaking an individual Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to address the long-term transportation needs in the Region of Durham and surrounding area. The Study supports the transportation objectives of the provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe by providing for the efficient movement of people and goods within the study area. The extension of Highway 407 (highway / transitway) easterly from the current terminus at Brock Road in Pickering to Highway 35/115 with two north-south links (highway / transitway) connecting Highway 401 to the proposed extension of Highway 407, has been recommended as part of a number of transportation improvements in an earlier phase of this EA Study. Route alternatives for the extension and the two links were presented in November and December 2006. This phase of the Study will present the results from the evaluation of the final short list of route alternatives. A technically recommended route will be presented for: • A new east-west transportation corridor (highway / transitway) to extend Highway 407 from Brock Road to Highway 35/115 in Durham Region, and • Two north-south links (highway / transitway) connecting Highway 401 to the proposed extension of Highway 407 (East Durham link – Clarington area and the West Durham link – Ajax / Whitby area). Your input and comments are key components that will assist us as we proceed with the EA Study. We encourage you to attend the upcoming round of Public Information Centres to view the information, to ask questions, and to provide your comments. THE PROCESS The EA Study is being conducted in accordance with the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (OEAA), the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA), and the process detailed in the approved Terms of Reference (ToR). The ToR document was approved by the Minister of the Environment on January 17, 2005 and provides a framework to guide the current EA Study which commenced in February 2005. This round of PICs will present the results from the evaluation of the final short list of route alternatives and a technically recommended route. Based on stakeholder and public input, the technically recommended route will be finalized and presented at the next round of PICs. PUBLIC CONSULTATION Public involvement and consultation are important aspects of an EA study. Public Information Centres are scheduled at key points throughout the EA process to provide opportunities for public and stakeholder input.

Combined heat and power plant is one of seven approved by the Ontario Power Authority By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — With hard hats and shovels, Durham post-secondary and energy-sector officials stood smiling for pictures at the future site of a com- bined heat and power plant. Just southwest of the Conlin Road entrance to Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology, a ground-breaking ceremony was held Monday, June 11 to announce and to celebrate the energy-produc- tion project. The combined heat and power plant being built on the shared campus is a joint project between the schools and the Oshawa Power and Utilities Corporation (PUC); it’s one of seven approved by the Ontario Power Authority. “This is a great benefit to the campus community, the community at large,” said Ralph Aprile, vice president of fa- cilities for Durham College and UOIT. The small plant will create power for the grid and hot water as a byproduct, said Jeff Rosenthal, president and CEO of the Oshawa PUC. Mr. Aprile said the campus is the main benefactor of the combined heat and power plant because Oshawa PUC is making the capital investment and building the facility, while the campus gets a discount in service. He added he looks forward to a long ongoing rela- tionship with their partner. “We have been talking about this for three-and-a-half years now and it’s really amazing we’re here today,” said Mr. Rosenthal, standing at a podium under a canopy on the future plant site. The local power plant will directly feed the post-secondary campus using natural gas, a clean energy source, said Mr. Rosenthal. Other power plants use a mix of energy sources to operate, he added. The combined heat and power plant is very efficient because it pro- vides electricity and thermal energy, using one engine for both. Through the electricity process, it captures heat to warm water sent directly to the cam- pus. The process also makes it more environmentally friendly, important in this age of envi- ronmental aware- ness, he said. The plant also provides security in energy supply, said Mr. Rosenthal. If there was ever another blackout, such as the one several years ago which affected much of southern Ontario, the campus wouldn’t be affected, he added. The PUC is looking to approach other institutes as well about creating combined heat and power plants. “This is the first one of many, hope- fully,” said Mr. Rosenthal. When the plant at Durham College and UOIT is finished, it won’t stand out to those visiting the campus, he said. “It’s small; it doesn’t take up a lot of room,” said Mr. Rosenthal. People won’t hear it from outside and it will match buildings currently on site. He added the building bid was very eco- nomical at around $5 million.

On Tuesday morning, June 5th, Mable Read chose to spend her 101st birthday as she did her 100th, playing her favor- ite slot machine at the Great Blue Heron Casino. Mable was greeted by Mr. Block, Stacy Millar, Direc- tor of Slot Operations and Perry Steiner, Director of Marketing as she entered the casino and prepared to engage in one of her favorite past times, playing the slots at GBH. Mr. Block had offered to buy her and her companion Terri breakfast, but Mable graciously declined stating, “this is how I keep my slim fi gure”. Ac- tually, she just wanted to play the slots and get back to the community centre where a party was to be held in her honor later that afternoon. “So often in our society our senior citizens are often overlooked or dis- regarded, when in fact, they have so much to teach us”, said Simcoe Hall Settlement House Seniors Co-ordina- tor Terri Hulcoop. “I thank you on be- half of all my seniors...all of your staff have been wonderful to us”. The Great Blue Heron Casino would like to extend its best wishes to Mable Read and congratulate her on this special occasion.

Chilling video shown at an inquest into the woman’s 2004 death Tuesday shows the 43-year-old Ms. Budgell crying, calling out and pacing in the tiny cell, into which she was booked after being picked up for public intoxication on Jan. 5, 2004. Jurors have already heard that Ms. Budgell was held at the 17 Di- vision cells on three occasions in early Jan- uary 2004, each time after she was picked up for public intoxication. It was on Jan. 17, her third stay in the cells, that she managed to attach long socks to an overhead ventilation grate and wrap them around her neck, jurors heard. Ms. Budgell was rushed to hospital and died three days later. The video of the Jan. 5 incident was shown on the second day of the inquest, during testimony of booking Sergeant William Hop- kins. It covers about a half hour from the time Ms. Budgell was first placed in the cell. At first Ms. Budgell appears to be trying to sleep, lying on a con- crete bench with her knees pulled up, but she becomes increas- ingly restless, clutch- ing at the cell bars and appearing to call out, then banging on plexiglass over the cell door. Such outbursts are not unusual in the busy downtown cells, Sgt. Hopkins said. “It’s a very common occurrence,” he told coroner’s counsel Mi- chael Blain. As the video unfolds Ms. Budgell can be seen alternately pac- ing in the cell, resting her forehead against the bars or holding her face in her hands and pressing her face against the bars, straining her neck to peer down the cell block row. Then she is seen to pull a drawstring out of her jacket; twice Ms. Budgell wraps the string around her neck and then attempts to tie it to the bars, then sit back. Both times the string slipped from the bars. Shortly after the second attempt with the ligature a female police officer came to check on Ms. Budgell while conducting reg- ular half-hourly cells checks. Sgt. Hopkins said that while all cells are monitored by video constantly and officers conduct regular physi- cal checks of prisoners being held in the cell block, no one became aware of Ms. Budgell’s apparent attempts to wrap the string around her neck. There is no note of suicidal be- haviour on her book- ing record for the brief stay on Jan. 5, he said. “If it had been seen it would have been noted,” Sgt. Hopkins said. He also testified that back in 2004 cell videos were viewed four to a 20-inch screen, making the im- ages fairly small. After Ms. Budgell’s death an officer discovered the monitoring system would allow individual cells to be isolated and viewed in a full-screen format, Sgt. Hopkins said. The inquest, under coroner William Lucas, continues in Whitby. durhamregion.comP PAGE 16 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 15, 2007 Cell block video shows apparent suicide attempt DURHAM — A Port Perry teacher is this year’s recipient of the Durham Catholic Dis- trict School Board’s Jean-Paul Patenaude Award.

The inn hosted a car wash to raise money for the YWCA in sup- port of the organization’s drive to reopen its emergency hostel for homeless women, which has been closed since April due to insuf- ficient funding. Members of the YWCA as well as inn employees were on hand to assist with the car wash and to support the cause. “It sends shivers down my spine to know there’s no place for women to go that are in need,” said Erin Taylor, head housekeeper of the inn and former resident of the hostel. “I stayed there when I was pregnant with my youngest son five years ago and I can’t imagine what I would have done if there had been no place for me to go at that point.” The hostel was closed because the YWCA could not continue to operate it with the funds it was re- ceiving from the government. The Region is now conducting its own investigation into the situation and to how much money is needed to reopen the shelter. Eva Martin Blythe, director of the YWCA, is confident the shelter will reopen when funding is increased. “What’s most important is get- ting the government to recognize that the funding they provide is just not enough. It’s a question of when. We simply cannot reopen the doors with the same amount of funding in good conscience, know- ing that the possibility exists we’d have to close again.” Fundraising efforts like the car wash, which illustrate community support for the cause, is greatly ap- preciated by the YWCA. Ms. Taylor spearheaded the project. “Erin in- dicated that she worked for King- sway and that they were interested in supporting us,” said Mrs. Blythe. “They’re on a high-traffic street, the weather’s getting warmer and peoples’ cars are dirty, so what bet- ter way to raise awareness and a little bit of money than to have a car wash.” There’s more work to be done to reopen the shelter, but Ms. Taylor was happy to contribute. “If you didn’t get a chance to come out today and help us, start your own event. Together we can make it happen for them.” Honda races.

It’s also the right time to wash it down with an antibacterial cleaning aid, since germs mul- tiply quickly in the summer heat. Tips from Mr. Clean, for example, suggest the follow- ing: For wood, wicker, and teak, use an oil-based soap, a soft scrub brush, and rinse thoroughly. Plastic and other non-porous furniture can be washed down initially with a liquid antibacterial, multi-pur- pose cleaner, followed by a good soaking with the garden hose. Use an effective anti- bacterial spray for quick clean main- tenance. Wrought iron can be revived with the same liquid antibacterial cleaner, or with a mild soapy solution. Clean aluminium furniture the same way and maintain with a non-streak- ing spray. The better sprays today do several germ-killing cleaning jobs in one – including great results on glass, mirror, and aluminium.

Walks will begin at 10 a.m. at 19 different locations across the protected moraine, three of them in Ux- bridge. Distance of the walks range from seven to 15 kilometres, according to a release from the association. “When the hikes are completed, the entire Oak Ridges Moraine Trail -- all 206 kilometres of it -- will have been walked in one day,” reads the release. Uxbridge walks will take participants along two routes at Secord Forest and Ocala Farm Winery, at 12 and 10.5 kilometres respec- tively. Another eight-kilometre trek will lead walkers from Secord Forest to Bloomington Road. Other Durham walks are from the Ocala Winery and the Village of Burketon to the Purple Woods Conservation area, just north of Oshawa, at 8 and 14 kilometres re- spectively. Each hike will be lead by a hike leader. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. Participants will be asked to sign a waiver of liability. The cost to register for an adventure walk is a $5 donation to the ORTA. “Anyone is welcome,” said Harold Sellers, president of the ORTA. The Adventure Walks coincide with a ‘Mo- raine for Life’ relay taking place June 16 and 17 (registration to the relay is now closed) or- ganized by the association earlier in the year, sponsored by Uxbridge Township. The ORTA anticipates 600 people will take part in the relay, travelling across the moraine on foot, on bike, or by boat. As of Friday last week, 60 people had signed up for the adventure walks, noted Mr. Sellers. Also currently offered by the association is The Moraine For Life Scavenger Hunt, an online “free interactive game introducing participants to the Oak Ridges Moraine and Trail,” according to the association. “The Oak Ridges Moraine located in south- ern Ontario was created over 12,000 years ago from a melting glacier. In her storied past the moraine contains the people, communities and ecological mystery that lives on today,” reads a release regarding the hunt. “For the next nine weeks, the elder will guide you through an interactive journey taking you to each chapter of the Oak Ridges Moraine and trail. Along the way your guide will provide hints to unraveling the mysteries and forth- coming destinations along the Oak Ridges Moraine Trail. The rest is up for you to dis- cover.” Prizes associated with the hunt will be awarded. To register for the Moraine Scav- enger Hunt, visit www.moraineadventure. com and click on ‘games’.

Work not im- pacted by the strike continued. Although settlements were made with the steamfitters, roofing contrac- tors and plumbers during May, the la- bourers’ union was in a strike position as of June 4. Tim Robins, senior manager, facili- ties services, said a meeting occurred June 6 with the masons and labourers to discuss project completion strate- gies for the end of August. The finish date has been pushed back from Aug. 15 to Aug. 24. Project work for the Catholic Education Centre began June 11, but the majority of the work is not set to occur until the end of June. Mr. Robins said hopefully the strike will be re- solved by then and will not impact the project. Utilities audit cancelled due to time restrictions DURHAM — A system-wide build- ing utilities savings audit has been can- celled because of time restrictions. Staff cancelled the request for service after trustees defeated a mo- tion to award the professional service for a system-wide utilities audit and requested more information. Trustees received a report regarding the can- cellation during their June 11 meeting. Tim Robins, senior manager, facili- ties services, said the board missed the deadline for awarding the con- tract. The terms of the request for pro- posal included a 60-day expiration, which was May 28. Mr. Robins said the audit will be revisited during the next school year and staff will look at improving the re- quest for proposal process.

The Whitby couple won the local Senior Star competition held at Ballycliffe Lodge in Ajax recently, performing as a duo, with Mr. Foster playing his Fend- er acoustic guitar and harmonica and Ruth singing lead. They sang, ‘We have this moment’ and, after being an- nounced as the winners, encour- aged fellow performers and au- dience members to join them in the ‘Senior Citizen’s Shuffle’. “We felt that song was very meaningful because we believe that every day is a gift and you should appreciate it, because you don’t know what tomorrow will bring,” said Jack in an inter- view of the former song. The duo now goes on to the Durham Region finals on June 20 at the former Cullen Gardens in Whitby, where people from all over Durham will vie to be the Durham winner competing in the national finals in Toronto on Oct. 3. Events are occurring across Canada as Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT marks its National Appreciation of Seniors Day. “We’re really, really amateur because I don’t know a note of music,” Jack said. “Ruthie has sung in choirs so she’s better.” “If I hear a good song, it doesn’t take me long to know it off by heart,” Ruth said. Jack said he’s been singing since he was seven years old or so, and his wife gives him credit for urging her to take the stage with her. “I learned everything from him,” she said. Ruth said Jack simply urged her to “get up and sing,” and when she hemmed and hawed a bit, he encouraged her to per- form with him. When Ruth retired for good in 1986, the couple bought a motor home and, with a van in tow, travelled from coast to coast across Canada and the U.S., sing- ing everywhere from churches to prisons. “One of the most interesting places we sang in was the Zeph- yr Hills prison in Florida,” Jack noted. They performed, and were en- thusiastically received, by the in- mates, whom Ruth described as “a great audience.” “A captive audience,” Jack quipped. Jack is a former police officer and Ruth worked as a police de- partment secretary. Both turn 80 this year. She once asked her husband how long they were going to con- tinue singing. “Until they start throwing to- matoes at us,” he replied. Three performers from each of the five Chartwell facilities in Durham, located in Pickering (2), Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa, are taking part in the June 20 event. In addition to the Fosters, Ajax accordion player Don Manning and Whitby singer Fred Wof- fenden, runners up in the Ajax event, are taking the stage from 2 to 4 p.m. THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 15, 2007 PAGE 27 A/Pdurhamregion.com ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT durhamregion.com The Fosters are ‘having the time of their lives’ Al Rivett/ News Advertiser photos Jazzin’ up the Village AJAX — Perfect weather and great music made for a memorable Pickering Village Jazz Festival last weekend in Ajax.

Ajax theatre group holds fundraiser Saturday By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX — Members of the Ajax Royal Canadian Legion Branch 322 are steaming after being slighted for a $1,000 grant. The Legion missed a deadline to apply for the grant from Celebrate Canada, part of the Heritage Minis- try, so the request was rejected. The money was to help pay the costs of Canada Day celebrations. “The whole principle of this thing upset me,” says Legion president Mike O’Hara. “It’s all volunteer and we try to do something for the com- munity, for the kids. I don’t like talk- ing about it, I get so upset.” The Legion has successfully ap- plied for the money in the past and it’s been used to defray costs for such things as entertainment, re- freshments and games for children, and prizes. Last year, Canada Day activities cost about $1,800, he says. Without the money, “we’ll scale back, oh quite a bit,” Mr. O’Hara notes. “I know darn well we made a mistake, but when I hear about all the money being passed around to friends and family, I wonder why the Legion would be exempted,” he says. Due to new no-smoking rules in Ontario, “our sales are off like crazy. When they do something like this, it’s more upsetting. “I thought somebody would be on our side, but I guess I’m the one out to lunch,” Mr. O’Hara states. “We’ll certainly do our best to make something happen, for the kids. I’m not sure what we could do, but we’ll do what we could do.” The Legion sought help from Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland to intervene on its behalf, Mr. O’Hara notes. “We appealed and asked Mark to help and he did and we got nowhere with it,” he says. He adds the Legion didn’t call Bev Oda, MP for Durham Riding and Heritage minister, or the Prime Minister’s office. Mr. Holland says he was “very surprised” when he heard about the situation. “I wasn’t surprised it was initially turned down. It’s the bureaucracy and its natural response. I expected the minister to step in and overturn it. I’m shocked she hasn’t,” Mr. Hol- land states. He’s spoken with Ms. Oda about the situation and overturning the rejection. “But so far, there hasn’t been a positive response.” The $1,000 “is a lot to the Le- gion. Look at how hard it is to raise money,” he says, pointing to the an- nual Poppy campaign. “It isn’t a big deal for the government. To reject it on a technicality doesn’t seem fair.” He planned to raise the issue in the House. “It’s my intent to keep pushing them, to elevate things to get them to see the logic here,” Mr. Holland says. Josianne Jalbert, a spokeswoman for Canadian Heritage department, said the Legion was told on Jan. 2 of the deadline change for applica- tions “and they missed the deadline by a significant period.” The government, she said, is being fiscally responsible and ac- countable for the money it spends. “The late application cannot be considered. We’ll work closely with the group” in the future to ensure the deadline isn’t missed again. Ms. Jalbert added applications were rejected for all groups that missed the deadline. The Legion, she stated, had re- quested $1,500.

This project is being planned in accordance with Schedule “C” of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment. The ESR identifies the need for improvements to Altona Road to: better serve growing volumes of traffic and pedestrians; address deteriorating pavement conditions; and to improve safety and access to developments. The recommended plan is to widen Altona Road to four/five lanes from Kingston Road to Strouds Lane, widen to three lanes from Strouds Lane to Finch Avenue, reconstruct the CN Rail bridge (north of Sheppard Avenue), install a full traffic signal at the Brookridge Gate / Valley Gate intersection and provide a sidewalk along both sides of the street. Subject to comments received as a result of this notice and the receipt of necessary approvals, the Region will proceed with detailed design of the first phase, Kingston Road to north of Strouds Lane, currently planned to begin construction in 2008. Construction of the remaining section from north of Strouds Lane to Finch Avenue is currently not included in the Region’s five (5) year road program. The ESR is available for review at the following locations: Clerk’s Office Region of Durham 605 Rossland Road East Whitby, ON L1N 6A3 Clerk’s Office City of Pickering 1 The Esplanade Pickering, ON L1V 6K7 Pickering Public Library Petticoat Creek Branch 470 Kingston Road Pickering, ON L1V 1A4 Tel.

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

Jim Veltman returns to Ajax-Pickering Rock Veteran NLL player to make debut Saturday in Pickering against Norwood By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — After putting down his lacrosse stick this summer , Jim Veltman has decided to return to the Ajax-Pickering Rock this week- end. The veteran of 16 seasons in the National Lacrosse League, and three seasons as captain of Ajax- Pickering Rock, has agreed to re- join the Rock for the remainder of the season and for the playoffs, al- though there may be a conflict with some of the playoff dates. Rock head coach/general manager Paul St. John says he received the fateful call from Veltman on Tuesday. “We talked on Tuesday and he said, ‘Paul, I’m coming back. I want to play’,” says St. John. “He’s going to be a huge presence as always. It’s not like myself and Rob (Roche, Rock owner) hadn’t planted the seed. But, when he called me Tues- day, I didn’t expect him to say I want to play this weekend.” For Veltman, it was simply a matter of seeing the Rock strug- gling and wanting to be a part of the solution. “I loved that team from the beginning. I spent three years there and it’s a good orga- nization and well run. I like Rob Roche as an owner and I like Paul St. John as a coach. I was following them through as the season wore on and I saw they were struggling and I didn’t like it. I felt for them. I be- lieve they’re a better team than that. Hopefully, I can be a piece of the puzzle and bring everybody together to be part of the same puzzle.” Veltman is not expected to see action until Saturday’s contest against the Norwood Nitro at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The Rock also plays at home Friday night against the Mohawk Stars. His brother, John, is also expect- ed to join the Rock for Saturday’s game. The return of the Veltmans wasn’t the only move the Rock made after dropping their sixth league game in a row last Saturday, 17-11, to the Brooklin Merchants. In fact, the club has made wholesale changes in order to improve its chances in the remaining five regular-season games and on into the playoffs. “We never envisioned we’d be 2- 7 at this time,” says St. John. “After a great start to the season, we had in- juries and commitment issues. We knew we were going to make some changes. But, we never thought we would change one third of the lineup before we’re done. It’s going to be for the better.” The Rock is also bringing in Bob Debrone, who’s been a member of the Rock’s Major ‘A’ affiliate, the Brampton Excelsiors. Ajax- Pickering also completed a trade (future considerations) with the Brooklin Merchants to secure Ryan McMichael, a left shot, who’ll be in the lineup for Friday’s game against Mohawk. The Rock also acquired the se- nior ‘B’ rights to Wayne Burke, whose major series rights were owned by Kitchener. “I briefly talked to Wayne and he’s excited to play alongside Jim,” says St. John. The team has also gone inter- national to find someone who can put the ball in the net. Pavel Dosly from the Czech Republic, who ar- rived in Canada on Thursday, is expected to be in the lineup for Friday’s game. “He comes highly recommend- ed from Jim Veltman, who was an assistant coach for the Czech na- tional team at the world lacrosse championships. He’s one of their leading scorers and from what I’ve seen on video, he’s a gamer,” says St. John. Of late, the Rock has also brought aboard Jamie Plunkett and Ron Reed to stem the tide of losses. St. John notes he’s not done yet reforming his roster, expecting to make at least two more moves in the near future. He’s hoping to land another goaltender and one more scorer. With the additions come several subtractions from the lineup. In- jured player Frank Littlejohn has been released, along with Tony Henderson, Kevin Taylor and Todd Hollinshead. St. John says two more players will also be released in time for Sat- urday’s game when the Veltmans are activated. “They’re tough decisions to make, but I have to look out for what’s best for the team,” says St. John. As for St. John’s status as the coach and GM of the team, Roche says the status quo will remain for now. “Paul’s here until the end of the season no matter what happens,” says Roche.

The Wolves faced a strong Whitby ‘A’ squad in the Whitby Iroquois Cup tournament finals last weekend, bringing home the cup with a determined effort that resulted in a 4-0 vic- tory. Once again, the Wolves delivered an all-round team effort to collect their second championship of the young season. The Wolves’ semifinal contest against North York was a nail-biter throughout, with the Ajacians forging a solid 2-1 victory over the Cosmos to advance to the final. The Ajax boys engaged in a see-saw battle with Whitby Iroquois ‘B’ in the quarter-final contest. In the end, the Wolves slipped past Whitby 3-2 to keep their Cup title defence aspirations moving ahead. The Wolves blazed through the preliminary round, defeating the Pickering Rangers 11-1, Wexford Titans 6-1 and Whitby Iroquois ‘C’ 4-1. Meanwhile, at the West Rouge Challenge on May 26 and 27, the Wolves persevered through pouring rain, muddy fields and strong competition en route to the championship of their age group. In the final, the Wolves played another Ajax squad -- Ajax Arsenal. Through the teeming rain, the Wolves pulled together a strong 7-1 victory over Arsenal. In the semifinal, the Wolves advanced to the final with a 4-1 win over Leaside Blue. The Oak Ridges Knights fell to the Wolves 3-0 in the quarter-final contest. The Wolves emerged unscathed in the pre- liminary round, chalking up a 3-0 record. Ajax earned an 8-0 victory over Leaside Tigers Gold, a 3-1 win over the Pickering Predators and a 6-2 victory over the North York Cos- mos. The Wolves consists of the ‘Liverpool’ line: Nicholas Nicolopoulos, Andrew Southard, Liam Gasparotto, Andrew Doma, Adam Pa- gliaroli and Riley Tell, and the ‘Manchester’ line: Nicky Vrzoski, Reade MacInnis, Tristan Schyvenaars, Evan Alexiou, Trea Wharton, Andrew Costa and Devonte Mitchell, with keeper Nick Holland. Chris Southard, Nick Nicolopoulos and Mark Holland coach the Wolves.
