The Province estimates consumers will pay an extra $13 on new desktop computers and $10 on televisions under the plan, with producers of the products deciding whether they absorb the fee or pass it on to consumers. In return, 167 drop-off locations throughout Ontario will collect electronic waste without charging the public. In five years, the number of drop-off locations will swell to more than 650. About 27 per cent of e-waste is currently recycled and re-used and the program intends to see that figure swell to 61 per cent by year five. The plan was developed by Waste Diversion Ontario, an organization designated by the Province to run On- tario’s diversion programs, including overseeing the blue box program, and will kick in this spring. “I think it’s a good start, as you know, the Region has recently endorsed extended producer responsibility,” said Craig Bartlett, Durham’s manager of waste manage- ment. The industries that produce the garbage should be responsible for covering the cost of disposal, he added. The Region collects electronic waste at its transfer stations where residents are required to a pay a tipping fee and at special e-waste events where electronics can be dropped off free of charge. The equipment goes to an industrial recycling facility. “We’ve got a contractor who actually processes that Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo SUMMER VISITORS PICKERING — Albert Guiral, a visiting student from Spain, tows in a fellow student during a session at the West Rouge Canoe Club.

Pickering mayor’s initiative doesn’t fly By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — No council members should have been on the Mayor’s Task Force on Accountability and Transpar- ency, says a Pickering councillor. “It raises questions and the perception about its independence and transpar- ency,” said Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean. “It should be seen to be completely impartial.” The task force has for a year been working on the lengthy document re- garding council’s code of conduct, which was considered as correspondence at Monday’s council meeting. Therefore it bypassed executive committee, and Coun. McLean criticized the lack of pub- lic consultation on the document. “I am disappointed that this report is being considered without a presentation by the Task Force members in an open forum,” he said. “Wouldn’t that be more transparent?” But Mayor Dave Ryan argued the doc- ument was provided to councillors two months ago, besides being available on the City of Pickering’s website, and all community groups and sports organiza- Rules of council transparency fail to pass See E-waste, Page 7 See Accountability, Page 7 durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 2 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 17, 2008 DYNAMIC DIGITALMEDIA WEB | MULTIMEDIA | VIDEO | POST PRODUCTION Video is a powerful interaction of motion and sound to present a concept, a product, or a company.

All buses will have a three digit route number. Buses in Pickering will be the 100 series, Ajax will be the 200s, Whitby the 300s, Oshawa the 400s, Clarington the 500s and cross-boundary routes, including those that service north Durham, will be the 900s. “In order to avoid confusion, we’ve started a whole new numbering system,” said Phil Meagher, deputy general manager for DRT. As it stands, Whitby and Oshawa have a Route 4 bus, the 4 Anderson in Whitby and the 4 College Hill in Oshawa. Under the new system, they become the 304 and 404, re- spectively. The buses in Ajax and Pickering have a letter and a number. An example is the R18 Beach and the M18 Beach in Ajax. The former is a rush-hour route and the latter is a mid-day route. Under the new system, all routes will have a three-digit number and they’ll be followed by the letter ‘B’ for off-peak routes. The Beach route will become the 218 regularly and the 218 B during off-peak hours. Routes that already comply with the new numbering sys- tem will not be affected. This includes the Clarington routes such as the 501 Aspen Springs and region-wide routes such as the 916 Rossland. The numbers on school specials will be changed as well. “They’ll have new numbers within their various mu- nicipalities, so it would reflect the route the school special is on,” said Mr. Meagher. The deputy manager said he doesn’t expect too much confusion because of the change. “One of the reasons we did it in the summer is to have as little impact as possible on commuters.” Even so, DRT will be running ads and putting information on its website at www.durhamregiontransit.com about the changeover. Durham transit has your number Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo The route numbers on Durham buses will be changing soon and each zone will have a specific number, to avoid any duplication across the region.

Staff are completing more review before mak- ing a decision on adding more non-transporting zones to five schools, says a recent Durham Catholic District School Board report. The deci- sion to delay changes came after each school’s council provided comprehensive reports re- questing more study and review before making a final decision. “They obviously hadn’t done enough re- search in proposing it,” said Rhonda Keys, a concerned parent and member of Pickering’s St. Mary Catholic Secondary School council. “They weren’t thinking about student safety at all, they were thinking about saving money.” In April and May, the board of trustees ap- proved in principle amendments to busing zones for St. John the Evangelist in Whitby, St. John Bosco in Oshawa, St. Patrick in Ajax el- ementary schools, as well as Father Leo J. Austin in Whitby and St. Mary in Pickering secondary schools. “It was a long walk, but it was more the backtracking,” Ms. Keys said. Her 15-year-old son would have to take a detour to get on the sidewalk and cross at the traffic lights to get to St. Mary. Other parent concerns included the strain on students to walk so far while carrying heavy backpacks, she said. The board’s intent is to spend more time with principals and school councils impacted by the recommendations this fall to ensure changes can be implemented without compromising student safety, says the approved staff report. Ms. Keys is glad the recommendations are being reviewed, but when it comes time to make decisions, she hopes staff will communicate directly with the people affected as well. “Hopefully they research it well enough to make an appropriate decision in the future,” she said. Staff met with each of the school’s principals and councils in May to provide an overview of the changes and get feedback, says the report. The schools were asked to send input in writing by May 31 for review before a final recommen- dation was made. “My other big issue with them was it wasn’t very open and transparent,” Ms. Keys said. The Durham Student Transportation Service should have, and should still, approach all the parents affected by the change, including those with students still in Grade 7 and Grade 8 who will be impacted in coming years, she said. “People don’t even know what’s happening, people who are impacted,” Ms. Keys said. She’s sure the majority of people impacted by the potential change still don’t know about it, and added there is only a dozen parents or so on the school council. Staff will conduct more research to ensure issues such as crossing walks and sidewalk com- pletions are dealt with to support the proposed walking routes. It’s their intent to meet with principals and school councils in the fall and return to the board with recommendations which could be implemented for September 2009.

A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 17, 2008 durhamregion.com Integrity is not lost in Pickering To the editor: When a wallet is lost in a store, panic sets in. That is the time one regrets not having a copy of all those numbers -- Visa card, bank card, health card, driving licence and so on. Last Friday while shopping this hap- pened in the Pickering Wal-Mart store. We searched the area previously visited, and went home to phone the bank first. Cancelling your card means no access to your account, and so the rest of the evening involved finding out where to obtain a new health card, etc. We called the store several times during the weekend, it had not been found. Monday, now having obtained a temporary driving licence, we headed to Wal-Mart to buy a new wallet, only to dis- cover that the night cleaners had found the wallet and handed it in. Everything was there, including $80. We could not get the name of this person to give a reward; we would, however, like to thank the Wal-Mart employee for their honesty. Hazel and Jim Daubeny Pickering My wife was recently invited to one of those dos where a bunch of women get together, drink a little wine, nibble some cheese and are then presented with a certain line of jew- elry, cosmetics or kitchen wares that they, depending on how much of the host’s wine and pate they’ve scarfed, may or may not feel beholden to purchase. You hear about these functions all the time and they’re used to hawk a wide vari- ety of goods. But one thing they all seem to have in common is that they are unique to women only. Men do not do this. To be sure, we have get-togethers where we eat and drink and, at night’s end, fork over a certain amount of cash to another indi- vidual. We call these poker nights. But no one goes away with a new bracelet, ear- rings or non-stick spatula. Well, they might, but they don’t talk about it and they’re not likely to get invited back. Why don’t men do this? Why are there no postcards stuck in my door inviting me to Jeff’s place Saturday night for beer, wings and the latest line of fishing lures? Why aren’t the lads and I inhaling free pizza while some glad-hander tries to sell us a new set of titanium drivers? “You’re invited! A night of handguns and single malt.” I’d be all over that. Women have Avon and Mary Kay and Weekenders and some gals make serious coin peddling this stuff. So where is the male equivalent? “Hi Neighbour ... Sorry I missed you. My name is Biff and I’m your local Browning Representative. If I can help you out with any of your ordinance needs just give me a shout.” “While U Were out... Abe... dropped by to talk adhesives. Stick around! I’ll be back.” Ding-Dong! “Black and Decker calling!” I think that would be cool. One does, however, need to exercise a little common sense. I know several male friends who lost their shirts in a particularly scandalous “Woodworking Pyramid.” Still, men don’t get together enough. When we do we’re usually competing against each other, whacking each other with sticks or helping somebody tear down, repair or install something. All well and good but I think most of us are ready for some truly relaxed, quality “Fella” time. We just need to get our heads around it. Of course, certain precautions and very firm ground rules would need to be in place in order to carry the thing off. I think it bears repeating that men are not women. While men are certainly capable of enjoy- ing one another’s company, we do not like to touch each other. To that end, sofas and love seats are out. Wing-back chairs and stools are in. Laughter and camaraderie are certainly encouraged but not to the point of a head resting on a shoulder ... however mirthful. Teary stories, even those involving fish, and anything approaching self-exami- nation or emotional epiphany are grounds for swift and immediate dismissal. Likewise anathema is any kind of pre- pared food. Men like things that come in bags or cans, food that can be purchased as an after-thought. Anything orange and crunchy will do. Proudly toting in your prize clam dip, however tasty, is likely to earn you a bum’s rush. Beverages are easy. Beer. Preferably cold. Wine is permissible only if it is to be imbibed straight from the bottle and passed around, pirate style. And that’s it. Eats, booze and a new joint- ed-Rapala. What are we waiting for boys? Durham resident Neil Crone, actor- comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. We men need to get some quality ‘fella’ time together GO Transit needs to strike while it’s hot It’s clearly high time to get GO-ing. With plans in the works to expand GO Train service all the way to Bowmanville in the coming years, it’s encouraging to see GO Transit will be going further. To boost ridership in Whitby and deal with increased interest in using the GO, the transit operator will build a 900-space multi-storey parking lot at the station. The $30-million project will add on to the 2,458 existing parking spaces at the Whitby GO station. The transit authority should look at increasing the frequency of trains at peak times and add cars so that people are able to take advantage of all that GO offers. Such plans are understandable after it was revealed GO Transit ridership on the fleet of trains and buses across the GTA has jumped by seven per cent over the past year. Such news is gratifying to all, since fewer drivers on our overburdened high- ways helps, at least in a small way, to cut down on commuter congestion. It’s also helpful to the environment, which can use all the assistance we can provide in dropping greenhouse gas emissions. It’s not hard to see why more people are GO-ing rather than driving. The price of gas -- GO spokesmen figure it accounts for about three per cent of that seven per cent ridership increase -- is a key driver in pushing people out of their cars and onto buses and trains. Gas prices, however, also affect transit use and it’s hoped GO won’t have to hit riders hard with fee increases to handle the jump in the cost of diesel. The key is to work hard to boost ridership and to appeal to a younger demographic that can be more easily convinced to take public transit -- as long as it is accessible, affordable and convenient. Building that transit habit is vital to long-term success and growth. If GO can keep expanding and invest- ing while riders are keen to give it a try, it will help the GTA in so many ways: less commuter traffic, fewer emissions and a more effective use of our resources. But a long-term workable plan needs to be implemented. It sounds like the authority is off to a good start.

Although Durham’s waste department doesn’t yet have esti- mates on how much the new program will save Durham taxpay- ers, the Province is touting it as the first time industry has paid 100 per cent of the cost of a diversion program. Those who col- lect e-waste, including municipalities, will get $165 for it under the new program. “It will reduce our cost to operate this program, it will mean savings for taxpayers,” said Mr. Bartlett. The Provincial program also ensures that once collected, the material is being dealt with properly, with the parts that can be reused being reused, and the recyclable parts recycled. As well, the program’s goal is to divert toxic metals like mercury and lead, which can be present in electronics, from landfills. “So they’re not shipping it off to some country that doesn’t have the proper technology for processing that equipment,” said Mr. Bartlett. The new e-waste plan will be implemented in two phases. The first phase, which kicks off this spring, will focus on desktop computers and laptops, monitors, printers, fax machines and televisions. Phase two, which is to follow 12 months later, will include materials such as phones, cameras and audio/visual equipment. And, the program covers not only household products, but electronics from commercial, industrial and institutional sourc- es as well. Mr. Bartlett expects industry to set up take-back locations, perhaps even at retail outlets, and hopes that would reduce the amount of waste the Region needs to manage and reduce costs. “I would love for them to put us out of business.” And, while Mr. Bartlett says the Province is getting it right by tackling hard-to-manage waste streams like e-waste, he hopes the government keeps going. “These are all very good steps and we hope that they will take it a little bit further so that industry assumes all of the cost of all of the manufactured products that currently end up in the waste stream.” tions registered with the City were invited to speak at a public meeting. “For two months it sat on your desks,” he told council. “Not a single question until this evening.” Mayor Ryan said the task force consisted of “blue ribbon” members including former MP and Whitby councillor Judi Longfield and Metroland Durham Region Media Group editor-in-chief Joanne Burghardt. The only council member on the task force besides Mayor Ryan was Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley. Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles agreed with some of the document, but not all. He disagreed that Pickering needs an integrity commissioner, and that each gift (he used a cup of coffee as an example) has to be documented. He also disagreed with the rule that no council member can use the City’s logo or letterhead without council’s approval, something he uses to get items such as picnic tables donated for City events. “I think the City already has responsible government,” he said. Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell criticized the section regarding communications and media relations. It says members must “fairly and accurately communicate the decisions of council even if they disagree with a majority decision of council” to foster respect for its decision-making process. “Each of us are elected as independent thinkers with (agendas) for the people we represent,” she said. Mayor Ryan said the section simply means council must speak accurately on council’s decisions. Rather than adopting the document, council received it for information.

Accountability report received for information Accountability, from page 1 durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 8 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 17, 2008 DURHAM — Residents thinking about cutting a tree from a nearby forest should think twice as they could be exposing themselves to hefty fines. The Region recently passed a new tree bylaw which includes fines of at least $500 and a much as $100,000 for destroying, in- juring or removing a tree in a woodland. However, the destruction of a single tree is considered a single offence, and as a result, destroying multiple trees could lead to a fine of more than $100,000. A woodland can be as few as 250 trees per hectare, de- pending on the size of the trees. The bylaw applies to both public and private property, but does not in- clude orchards, tree farms or properties previously used for farming overgrown with young trees within the last 15 years. The removal of diseased or dead trees is allowed. As well, farmers with wood- lands on their properties can cut trees for personal use, including for fence posts and rails, however, they are not allowed to clear cut trees without a permit. There are a slew of excep- tions under the bylaw, in- cluding an exception for those putting up a build- ing or structure for which a building permit has been issued as long as the tree is no more than 15 metres from the structure. Permits for cutting trees range from $50 to $100. For the full bylaw, includ- ing exceptions and types of permits, visit region.dur- ham.on.ca.

In fact, summer is a critical time for learn- ing. Without some measure of structured education, kids can experience a signifi cant drop in their learn- ing momentum that can affect how they perform next year. Research into the study of summer learning shows some pretty surprising fi ndings. Here are The Facts that you need to know— • All students experience SUMMER LEARNING LOSSES when they do not engage in educational activities in the summer. • On average, students lose approximately 2.6 months of grade-level equivalency in mathematical computational skills during the summer months. • 56% of students want to be involved in a summer program that “helps kids keep up with summer schoolwork or prepare for the next grade.” • Research shows that teachers typically spend be- tween four-six weeks re-teaching material that students have forgotten over the summer. • Since 1996, researchers have studied the effect of summer break on student learning. A common fi nding across these studies is that students gener- ally score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer. • Research demonstrates that all students experi- ence signifi cant learning losses in procedural and factual knowledge during the summer months. How the summer break can impact your child’s learning: some numbers: 2.6—the numbers of months that it can take to get back into the swing of learning in the fall 60—the number of days that children spend not learning over the summer 6—the number of weeks that teachers have to spend reviewing material from last year And two very important numbers to consider when planning your children’s summer schedule: 2-3—the number of hours per week of supplemen- tal education needed to prevent summer education losses and keep your child on track for education success. With these very important numbers in mind, doesn’t it make sense to include learning in your child’s sum- mer? Summer programs at Oxford Learning make it easy.

Well, she can soar through the air just like a superhero, and next month, will fly to Beijing to rep- resent Canada at the Olympic Games. So, at the age of just 23, she has fulfilled both of her childhood dreams. “When I was younger you always have dreams of being a superhero as a kid. I wanted to be an Olympian,” said the Pickering resident after com- peting in the long jump event at the Canadian Track and Field Champi- onships in Wind- sor. “My dad used to watch track and field all the time and I watched it with him. I just wanted to be on the centre stage.” She will get her wish in Beijing after qualifying in the long jump recently. Needing a top-four to so- lidify her spot, she squeaked in with a bronze medal finish with a leap of 6.30m, far below the 6.82m jump earlier this year in Greece that established a new Ca- nadian record. Though her third place standing was good enough to punch her ticket to Beijing, she was kicking herself afterward for not coming up with a more domi- nating performance. “I came here knowing I could jump my personal best or better,” she said just after the medal pre- sentation, elaborating that diffi- culties in judging the wind direc- tion and hitting the board led to some frustration on her part. “But it’s OK. There are bigger fish to fry with the Olympics coming. This is just a little setup, a little warmup. “I know that I can do it. I was jumping well behind the board, so let’s see what I can do when I get on the board.” On the final day of the champi- onships Sunday, in her specialty, the triple jump, she won gold with a mark of 13.92m, but came up short of the qualifying standard needed to com- pete in that event at Beijing. She also holds the Canadian record in the triple jump after a 14.02m jump at a meet last year in the States. From Windsor it was on to Ire- land for a meet, with the possibil- ity of another scheduled before the Olympics open on Aug. 8. The time between now and then will be used wisely. “I am just going to go out and compete against the best again and get ready for the Olympics,” she said. Once she arrives in Beijing, the dream she had while watching TV with her dad will be fulfilled. “I have been thinking about it for a long time,” she admitted. “I’m very excited. It’s like a dream come true.” Beijing 2008 gtaathletes.com Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Tabia Charles, of Pickering, soars through the air during the women’s long jump at the 2008 Canadian Track and Field Championships in Windsor recent- ly.

John Carl Washburn May 15th, 1935 - July 18, 2006 Don’t think of him as gone away - His journey’s just begun, Life holds so many facets - This earth is only one. Just think of him as resting From the sorrows and the tears In a place of warmth and comfort Where there are no days and years. Think how he must be wishing That we could know today How nothing but our sadness Can really pass away. And think of him as living In the hearts of those he touched... for nothing loved is ever lost- And he was loved so much. Dad, it’s been 2 years since God took you home. You are forever in our hearts and minds and we love and miss you very much. ~All your family and friends. SEEKING FULL TIME Live-in Caregiver to take care 3 kids (11, 7 and 3yrs old).
