The end of the Second World War in the European theatre meant Mr. Rutledge was going to be shipped home to Canada. But, he couldn’t leave his British girlfriend Winifred, so he had to move pretty fast. “We had planned to get mar- ried before the war was finished, but I got put on a draft to come home. I had to get a couple of days off to go back up to York to get married. I had to talk to a padre and I got special permis- sion to go get married,” Mr. Rut- ledge says. He recalls the joy on VE-Day. “Everybody celebrated of course. I went into York to meet my girlfriend, who’s now my wife,” he says. The newly-married Mrs. Rut- ledge, however, had to wait 10 months before joining her hus- band in Canada. This July, the Pickering couple celebrates its 60th anniversary. The couple is in Ottawa with other veterans to mark the 60th anniversary of VE-Day. They are End of war brought new life for many Developers dangle $7.5M for expansion, in return for Pickering building approvals By Danielle Milley Staff Writer AJAX — Some local politicians say three developers are trying to buy special treatment by of- fering to donate $7.5 million to the Ajax and Pickering hospital in exchange for planning approvals from Pickering. Joe Lebovic made the offer Wednesday to Hume Martin, Rouge Valley Health System’s chief executive officer, to help with the Ajax site’s redevelopment cam- paign in exchange for subdivision approvals within 18 months. Dis- tribution of the money is to be tied to the number of building permits issued. Mr. Lebovic, Fred DeGasperis and Mattamy Homes are the three builders to receive property in the Seaton lands in exchange for giv- ing the Province land they owned on the Oak Ridges Moraine. (That exchange is still subject to the completion of an environmental assessment.) Lebovic Enterprises had been meeting with the hospi- tal on behalf of the three builders. Pickering Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner said he was not made aware of the offer until he received a call from a Toronto newspaper. He said the City should have “most definitely” been told of the announcement. “Some of what they’re asking for might be consistent with (the time frame) we’re planning but even if that is the case it doesn’t give any- body the right to jump the cue and buy approval,” he said. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan is away at a conference. “The strings that are attached to it are not acceptable to our coun- cil,” Coun. Brenner said. “It is not Employment Opportunities Store Managers and Sales Associates We are a multi-location Bell World dealership with locations in Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Peterborough, North York, East York and Toronto.

He said the money is committed if the 18- month time frame is met. “We thought that was fair, especially after how long we’ve been waiting,” he said. Mr. Martin said the meeting with Mr. Leb- ovic was one of several the hospital has had in its ongoing efforts to raise money for the redevelopment. He said $7.5 million was the minimum they needed for the campaign. “The commitment of this gift is important in getting the redevelopment approved,” he said. “The money was a firm commitment if the approvals were given.” Pickering Ward 1 City Councillor Kevin Ashe was also at the meeting in his role as a volunteer with the hospital foundation and called it “good news.” He said, “It would have been better if there were no conditions attached to the money,” but said development has been planned for Seaton for 30 years. Coun. Ashe added he didn’t think this would cause council to do anything that wasn’t in the best interest of the city or the public. The Province, the Region and the City are currently working on a development plan for Seaton. Before any building permits could be issued that plan would have to be finished, as would the infrastructure work, which involves the Region. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said he was also not told of the offer, adding de- velopment is not going to be rushed. “We will move development along at a controlled manner,” he said. “Just be- cause you have money doesn’t mean you move to the front of the line.” Mr. Anderson said if the developers have the money to give, it should be given with- out any conditions. Brian Kozman, director of the North Pick- ering Land Exchange Team, said the pro- posed plan would be finished in a couple of months. He doesn’t know if all the work that needs to be done before building per- mits can be issued could be finished in 18 months.

The second annual walkathon in memory of Ameena Haq is Wednes- day, May 11 beginning at 10 a.m. at Discovery Place Childcare. Aman- da, who attended the day care, passed away Feb. 15, 2004, three days before her second birthday. Walk organizers welcome everyone to participate and to come wearing hats. The more creative the better, as Ameena was quite fashionable with the hats she wore. A trail of white balloons will mark the path leading to a deli- cious lunch and ice cream dessert. The rain date is May 12. Pledge forms are available at Dis- covery Place, 1848 Liverpool Rd. Unit 12, in Pickering. Proceeds go to the Hospital for Sick Children. Resident questions Region’s support of urbanizing ag preserve By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM — The public will not be told whether the Region has any legal standing to challenge the lifting of agricultural easements in north Pickering. “I’m saddened by that,” said Bonnie Littley, a member of the Rouge Duffins Greenspace Coali- tion. “I think, as the signatory to the (memorandum of understand- ing), they had taken on the re- sponsibility. “They owe it to the public to share what their responsibility is.” Because the document will reach a conclusion and show how that opinion was reached — the same argument potentially used in court — it’s considered confiden- tial, said Brian Roy, the Region’s solicitor, at Wednesday’s council meeting. At issue is whether the Region, as one of the parties to the memo- randum of understanding signed before land in the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve was sold with easements on it, along with the Province and the City of Pick- ering, has any grounds to fight a move by Pickering that saw the land opened up for development. The preserve was to be protect- ed from development forever, until the City con- verted the easements on land in the south- ern portion to inhibiting orders. Bowing to pressure from angry residents, the Region asked staff to look into the matter. Now it looks like the results will be kept from the public. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish raised questions about the public’s due process in viewing and comment- ing on the report while maintain- ing the Region’s right to keep legal opinions confidential. “My gut feeling is the people involved feel totally betrayed by Pickering... and they will be look- ing to the Region to do the right thing,” he said. “I’m somewhat doubtful the Region is going to do that, because politically, the Region is not going to want to get into a fight with one of its munici- palities.” “There’s no question, if we do this now, we’ll open a Pandora’s box that we can’t close,” he said. A resident from the easement area also questioned why the Re- gion supported a motion from Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan asking the Province to remove the lands from the Greenbelt plan and open them up to development. “This strikes as premature, even as a kind of fast-tracking of the planning process,” said Mike Wil- fer, president of the Cherrywood Residents’ Association, adding that residents had no knowledge the item would be dealt with at the April 13 council meeting. He presented a petition from residents asking that their neigh- bourhood be protected. Mr. Wilfer questioned how the Region would support the move while the land remains an agricul- tural area in both Pickering and the Region’s official plans. Councillors at that meeting said they were supporting the right of Pickering to be its own planning authority — not supporting ur- banizing the land. In a recent legal opinion by On- tario Nature, well known environ- mental lawyer David Estrin said the City had “no legal right to can- cel the agricultural easements,” and the Region or Province could initiate legal action. A covering report on the Region’s legal opinion will be released May 9, and will be discussed at 9:30 a.m. at the May 10 planning meet- ing in the planning department boardroom, 1615 Dundas St. E., at Thickson Road in Whitby. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 8, 2005 PAGE 3 P 'PSOVSTFT UIFSFBSFOPSPVUJOFDBTFT &WFSZPOFJTVOJRVF "TMFBEFSTJO'BNJMZ$FOUSFE$BSF PVSOVSTFT QVUQBUJFOUTBOEUIFJSGBNJMJFTmSTU %VSJOH/BUJPOBM/VSTJOH8FFL .BZ  3PVHF7BMMFZ)FBMUI4ZTUFNBTLTZPVUPTBZ iUIBOLZPVwUPBOVSTF /PXUIBUXPVMECFBSPVUJOFXPSUITUBSUJOH 5P MFBSONPSFBCPVUBOVSTJOHDBSFFSBU37)4 WJTJUXXXSPVHFWBMMFZDB Devin & Shelby with mom Megan from TD Canada Trust pickeringtowncentre.com BUY THIS GET THIS FREE* great gifts for Mom Two one fantastic This Mother’s Day, get a hand blown glass window ornament FREE*when you purchase $50 in Pickering Town Centre Mall-Wide Gift Certificates. *Retail value of $15.00.

McLeans of Ajax Watch for our upcoming flyer Friday, May 13 Easements legal opinion to remain confidential Bonnie Littley Day care walks in memory of Ameena are both veterans, as Mr. Rutledge served with 420 Squadron of the Royal Ca- nadian Air Force, known as the Snowy Owl Squadron. Mrs. Rutledge served with the Royal Observer Corps. Mr. Rutledge was sta- tioned in several places in England and spent time in Tunisia, in North Africa. His final station was in Tholt- horpe, in Yorkshire. He was an aero-engine mechanic, joining the air force in October 1940, just after he turned 18. “I was always interested in aircraft. I use to build model aircraft when I was a youngster,” Mr. Rutledge says. He lived in Doaktown, “right in the centre of New Brunswick,” and signed up in Moncton. He was shipped to England in the spring of 1942. “I went straight to 420 Squadron and stayed with them until the end of the war.” He liked what he was doing. “I only wished I was a flyer,” he says. Mr. Rutledge couldn’t get into the air group because of a problem with his nose. Not being able to fly was a disappointment, but he kept busy working with the planes. “I looked after four differ- ent types of aircraft — the Hampton, Wellington, Hali- fax and Lancaster,” he says. “I’ve very pleased to tell you all the crews I looked after completed their tour of operations. I still stay in touch with a couple of crews. A couple were shot up, but nobody was killed. They did 30 to 32 operations (in England) and they all came back. We just did the best job we could do.” Ground crews were made up of five to seven men, de- pending on the aircraft. “The one thing we were proud of was when we went to North Africa in 1943. We were attached to the U.S. air command down there for six months. We had the best record of any other wing in the entire war. Our crew did 82 operations in 87 days. It was considered a record for the war. That was the longest period on continual operation.” As a member of the Royal Observer Corps, Mrs. Rut- ledge helped track aircraft. Observers were stationed around the country, in fields, church steeples and tall buildings, looking for aircraft. Mrs. Rutledge is original- ly from Leeds, but was sta- tioned in York, on the east coast. When the war broke out, anyone 18 and in a non-es- sential job was conscripted into the war effort. Mrs. Rutledge was a secretary and “it wasn’t essential, so I was called up and put up where they needed you. They needed observers at that time.” Once in York, “it was in- evitable I would meet him,” she says of her husband. “It’s amazing how these things changed all our lives.” She was indoors doing her job, with the corps motto, ‘Forewarned, Forearmed’. While in Ottawa, the Rut- ledges will visit the new war museum, as some of Mr. Rutledge’s nose artwork is on display. Nose art is a painting on the side of a plane, usually up on the nose on the pilot’s side. One of his works is called the Fangs of Fire and shows a wolf biting on a bomb. Mr. Rutledge did several paint- ings, but hasn’t seen them since the war. “When the aircraft was taken back to the Halifax factory, a piece was cut off and maintained by a chap from 420 Squadron. He kept a couple of these,” Mr. Rut- ledge notes. After the war he worked for a few years and then went to the University of New Brunswick, graduat- ing with a degree in geol- ogy. He worked for a mining couple before going to work for Ontario Hydro, where he stayed for more than 25 years, retiring in 1983.

The Pickering resident served during the Second World War with the special branch of the Royal Cana- dian Navy called DEMS, Defensively Equipped Mer- chant Ships. He was only 18 years old when he served as a naval gunner aboard a large merchant ship in the Atlantic. “I wanted to be a part of it,” Mr. Turner said. “It was an adventure.” With all of his older friends enlisted to help in the effort, he wanted to as well. At first he wasn’t old enough so he spent time on tankers in the St. Lawrence gaining experi- ence before being allowed to enlist when he was 17-and- a-half years old. “When you first get out there it is scary but you get accustomed to it,” he said. The ships travelled in large convoys carrying explosives, bombs and other dangerous materials. Mr. Turner said they ran into areas where there were mines but they were never attacked. He remembers he was in Montreal when the fighting stopped in Europe. “A t that time I saw stream- ers coming down from a building and that’s how we knew the war was over,” Mr. Turner said. “I was thrilled. There was quite a celebra- tion.” Mr. Turner’s story is just one of the many from local veterans being included in a bound newsletter put to- gether by the South Picker- ing Seniors Club. Elsie Hetherman, the club’s director of public rela- tions, organized the project to honour veterans. “I thought in the month of May we have VE-Day com- ing and it would be nice to do something for our guys, the veterans in the club,” she said. Ms. Hetherman started with five and now there are 33 in the newly formed vet- erans’ club. Each veteran has pages in the book, which include photos of them and of memorabilia. “Who is remembered in this booklet is the guys who gave us our freedom,” she said. “I just always felt really bad for the veterans, even though I didn’t have a con- nection with veterans, think- ing they hadn’t received, in my eyes, the recognition they deserve,” she said. In her interviews with the veterans, she said she learned a lot. “It was very enlightening. I was ashamed of myself at this age to not know it all,” Ms. Hetherman said. “It is just amazing how they play down their service.” durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 8, 2005 PAGE 5 P Carrier of The Week If you did not receive your News Advertiser/flyers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at (905) 683-5117.

Needle-stick issue needs attention To the editor: I am writing about the issue of needle-stick injuries and to bring attention to the urgent need for adequate funding to ensure mandatory use of safety-engineered devices. I think a regulation requiring mandatory use of safety-en- gineered-needle devices is needed because it’s a significant public safety issue. Every year thousands of people suffer needle-stick injuries from discarded needles, not only in hospitals, but also in parks, playgrounds, and school yards. This puts the public-at-large at risk. It costs thousands of tax dollars to investigate, monitor, and treat these unacceptable injuries, which are completely avoidable if safety-engineered devices are mandatory. More than 22,000 Ontarians suffer needle-stick injuries each year. It is completely unacceptable to consider the cost of investigation, monitoring, and treating of these people against the cost of changing to safety-engineered-needle devices. That cannot be used as an excuse for not making Bill 170 (Mandat- ing Use of Safety-Engineered Devices) a priority. Diseases such as hepatitis B and C, HIV and West Nile are seriously dangerous diseases and we cannot measure the dangers against the cost of changing to safety-engineered devices, which only cost a few cents more than the currently used conventional needle devices. Roseann Clarke, Pickering P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 8, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR We must remember soldiers’ sacrifice I t’s easy to imagine them now as they must have been then. Hundreds and hundreds of Canadian men, youthful and strong, homesick and enduring hardship. Many of them were barely into adulthood, 19, 20, and 21, with the uncertain promise of a lifetime still ahead; future wives to meet, children and grandchildren yet unborn. And they must have been keenly aware, during every waking moment, that their lives could be snuffed out instantly on the battlefields of Europe, the promise of a future snatched away in a breath. In the darkest days of the Second World War, countless young men did give up their lives to the irony of a war being fought to keep the peace. Those who returned home came back with terrible memories that most of us will be spared in our own lifetimes. To day, Canadians look back across the span of six decades to VE-Day, marking the Allies’ victory in Europe, when our soldiers liberated the Netherlands from the German army. It was the beginning of the end of the war. In the Canadian war cemetery in Grosbeek, Netherlands, there are 2,338 white grave markers, each standing for a brother, a son or a sweetheart who did not make it home for the victory parades, parties, and family reunions. In all, 7,600 Canadians lost their lives liberating the Dutch 60 years ago. The anniversary of VE-Day Sunday, May 8, will be well- marked in the Netherlands, where the Dutch have never forgotten Canadians’ sacrifices. To many veterans here in Durham, the day will be as poignant as Remembrance Day, as many of their comrades, dressed in their finery and bedecked with medals, take part in ceremonies in the Netherlands. It is a time for somber reflec- tion on the sacrifices that all Canadian soldiers made, and a time to be grateful for their bravery all those years ago. Many heroes, long in the ground, will not be standing with the now old men they once fought alongside. But as they are remembered by the veterans who knew their names and recall their faces, so too must all of us remember how their deeds changed the course of history.

Pointing to a better deal worked out between York teachers and their school board, he says his local will also be seek- ing more than what was decided upon provincially. He called their salary ceiling “a basement” to start from. Now, it is the purpose of a union to go out there and ensure safe and fair work- ing conditions for its members. And bar- gaining for better salaries is perfectly le- gitimate. But why is the local high school teachers’ union president looking for an increase on top of an increase? It simply comes across as greedy. I suspect high school teachers would like to avoid job action or a strike by any means. Considering these steps should be a last resort and only be implemented when they are being treated unfairly. But you can’t say the pay raise high school teachers would receive under the provin- cial deal is unfair. Members would receive the same 10.6 per cent, cumulative pay increase over four years announced last month for public elementary teachers. That’s not chump change by anyone’s standards. Ve ry few industries in Canada get that raise in today’s economic climate. Still, Mr Tumey says they deserve more. And his further argument of where the board can get the money to pay its teachers is where it really starts to sound greedy. Or at the very least out of touch. He points out the Durham District School Board recently received additional funding for school renewal projects. The school board is already deciding where to spend this money and has a list as long as your arm of schools in need of repairs. Locally, Pickering High School for years has needs that have not been addressed and Dunbarton High School also needs improvements. Still, Mr. Tumey says the board has been able to meet its needs before with- out extra money, so that should leave dol- lars to go outside the provincial frame- work for teacher salaries. Mr. Tumey: please talk to your mem- bers and rethink your stance. High school students and parents don’t deserve to have disruptions at the school level be- cause of unrealistic salary demands.

Chronic neck & shoulder ache A 34 year old female presented with low back pain, complaining of increased pain with sustained postures (sitting or standing). She needs to constantly change positions for relief. She gets pain driving her car or taking long walks. She also complains of a clunk sound while walking. On assessment she was found to have an unstable pelvis. This was probably the result of a sprain of the pelvic ligaments during a vaginal birth delivery. She was then treated with muscle energy techniques to release tight muscles. The patient was taught how to reactivate her core stabilizers which provides stability for the pelvis. The patient was also given a home exercise program of back stabilization and strengthening exercises. She was taught how to lift and carry. The patient was followed by a physiotherapist for six months periodically to progress exercises and monitor symptoms. George is a 40 year old man. He considers himself relatively fit as he regularly walks his dog, plays hockey once per week and enjoys swimming in the summer. However, George presented to physiotherapy with chronic neck and upper back pain. For several years he would have regular massage therapy and feel better for a couple of days then the tightness and pain would return. He has had an ergonomic assessment of his work space to reduce the stress to his shoulders and neck as he spends most of the day on the computer. George had a complete spinal assessment with the physiotherapist to determine the cause of his pain. Most of the spinal tests were negative. However, neck mobility was restricted and George had some manual therapy to improve his movement and was given a series of neck strengthening exercises especially for his deep neck flexors to support his neck. Within six weeks George was having less discomfort and requiring less massage therapy. His neck postural muscles were now strong enough to support his spine, so the superficial muscles were now relaxed and flexible. Post partum pelvis instability PHYSIOTHERAPY IT’LL MOVE YOU To Advertisein thisHEALTH & WELLNESSHEALTH & WELLNESSfeaturecontact Susan Fleming at 905-683-5110Nocturnal calf cramps Nicole is a 26 year old professional ballet dancer and has worked through many muscle and joint injuries from head to toe due to the daily rigorous physical demands dance puts on her body. Her latest assessment was for persistent calf cramping at night and fatigue in her calves during rehearsals (due to an upcoming performance her rehearsal time had doubled). On examination it was flexed and pointing her toes and feet created immediate cramping of the gastrocnemius (outer calf muscle), also palpation revealed trigger points along the medial belly of the muscle. As a result of the physical overload and prolonged plantar flexion (toe pointing) Nicole had developed trigger points which were the cause of her muscle cramping and fatigue. Nicole responded very well to three treatments with Acupuncture and muscle energy techniques on both the local trigger points as well as the muscle/tendon function of the gastrocnemius and Achilles tendon resulting in greatly improved muscle flexibility, pain relief and abolition of the nocturnal cramps. Education on specific stretches to provide immediate relief of cramps and the association of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance as a long term cause of cramping was reviewed. Corrective action also included avoiding sustained plantar flexion (pointing) which is Nicole’s case was not possible. However outside dance she had to stop wearing her high heeled shoes. Dr. J.

National Physiotherapy Month April 23 to May 23, 2005 Physiotherapists across the country useNational Physiotherapy Month(NPM) as an opportunity to highlight the value of physiotherapy and the importance of taking simple, movement-based steps towards maintaining a healthy body. This year’s activities highlight gardening, golfing, running and walking; rehabilitation following injury; and other areas of physiotherapy that help people achieve and maintain good health. From April 23 to May 23, physiotherapists from coast- to-coast will open their doors to the public with events such as safety and stretching demonstrations, clinics and seminars on health and fitness issues, displays and information booths, and more. The public is invited to contact their Provincial Physiotherapy Associationfor a listing of clinics and events in their area. Celebrating the Canadian Physiotherapy Association’s 85th Anniversarythis year, physiotherapists know how to keep Canadian’s mobile and achieve optimum physical functioning following an injury or an illness. They work in a variety of settings, from hospitals to private and community clinics; with patients from the very young to the elderly, including animals; dealing with complex neurological conditions following stroke, motor vehicle accidents and fractures; to sports-related injuries, back care, whiplash, heart attacks, cancer, ergonomics and repetitive strain injury. The Canadian Physiotherapy Association and its 10,000 members want the public, other health care providers and governments to be aware of the important role physiotherapy plays in the health of Canadians. With their applied knowledge and understanding of the human body in action, physiotherapists work with clients to increase mobility, relieve pain, build strength, and improve balance and cardiovascular function. They not only treat injury, but they also explain how to prevent injury and the onset of pain that may limit activity.

Surinder, is a much loved and respected individual in Durham Region, and in communities across Ontario. As an adviser with vari- ous ministries for the province of Ontario since 1978, he has spent his career helping and advising hundreds of ethnocultural, reli- gious, social service organizations, schools and school boards across the province, on different aspects of race relations work. He is currently the Aboriginal program adviser to the Ontario Na- tive Affairs Secretariat. Every year he opens up his home and invites his extended fam- ily — multicultural groups, ethno- cultural and religious communi- ties, social service agencies, and his network of friends involved in race relations, diversity and anti- racist education work throughout Ontario — to gather in a spirit of friendship and unity to celebrate the magnificent diversity of the province. This year’s luncheon had a two- fold purpose. Firstly, to honour a family friend, Roy McMurtry, chief justice of Ontario, and his wife Ria McMu rtry. Secondly, a Sikh Faith religious ceremony was staged in the presence of the Sikh Faith ‘Holy Book — Guru Granth Sahib’ to bless all guests and his son Ikinder Singh Gill in his quest to become a successful medical doctor to serve fellow Canadians. Ikinder is now in England, attending the University of London School of Medicine. Surinder has strong roots in Dur- ham. He refers to Durham as his second home. Over the years, he has helped many organizations in the community with consultative advice, and assistance in secur- ing funding for their race relations projects. Organizations he has worked with in Durham include the Mul- ticultural Council of Oshawa Dur- ham, the Pickering Carib Canadian Cultural Association, Club Carib of Oshawa, the Congress of Black Women (Durham Chapter), Baha’i Communities, the Social Develop- ment Council, Durham District School Board, Progressive Muslims of Ontario, the City of Pickering Advisory Committee on Race Rela- tions and Equity, and the Town of Ajax Race Relations Advisory Com- mittee. Not surprisingly, there was a strong Durham presence at the luncheon, including MC Sarah McDonald, principal of Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pickering. Ms. McDonald is a founding mem- ber of PCCCA and founder of the award-winning STAR anti-racist education leadership camp, that is administered by the public school board. A family friend, she took a leadership role, and did an excel- lent job in introducing dignitaries and speakers. As I drove back to Ajax I reflected on the people I had met at the luncheon, and the individual con- tributions they had made to race relations. Mr. McMurtry’s contribution, to race relations and human rights has been significant. In 1982, in his capacity as attorney general, he amended the Ontario Human Rights Code by adding Section 28 to promote race relations in the province. A year later he was ap- pointed a race relations commis- sioner. In 1984, he was appointed chairman of a newly created cabi- net committee for race relations. Despite his high office, and many responsibilities, Chief Jus- tice McMurtry still manages to find time to take an active interest in race relations work. He is much admired and respected by ethno- cultural communities across the province. All the organizations and individuals at this lunch make a valuable commitment to race rela- tions work and multiculturalism. Ajax resident Roland Rutland is involved with multicultural and race-relations issues across Dur- ham. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 8, 2005 PAGE 9 A/P Roland Rutland multiculturalism So many make valuable contributions to multiculturalism here in Durham Increasing numbers taking up the game By Joshua May Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — Move over hockey and baseball, cricket is stealing your thunder. An intricate game requiring in- tense focus and great reflexes, crick- et quickly is making a name for itself amongst Canadians. In Durham Region alone, the Ajax Cricket Club reports approximately 90 members and can be credited with expand- ing the notoriety of the game well beyond its traditional medium. “This is our 45th year as a part of the (Durham) community and I can say there’s been a phenomenal increase (in local interest),” said Bob White, president of the Ajax Cricket Club. “We are primarily a hockey country, with baseball following close behind. A lot of interest in cricket comes from individuals from the West Indies, the Far East and Africa. However, we’re hoping to en- courage the game more so upon the youngsters.” In fact, the Ajax club has ventured so far as to lend their grounds to local high schools to help promote the sport. In Durham’s first-ever high school cricket match, conducted last spring at the Ajax grounds, Pickering High School competed with Pine Ridge Secondary School. Suffering a one-point loss, Pickering High was quite sportsmanlike about the de- feat, commemorating the loss with the creation of the inaugural First Ball Trophy — an annual cup to be distributed after each high school cricket championship. However, trophies aside, the joy of seeing the students compete was the real payoff, says Al Monks. “Everyone who participated had a really good time,” said the princi- pal at Pickering High. “However, I would have enjoyed it further had there been more diversity in the stu- dents who played. We don’t want to segregate people in these games. What we’re trying to do is bring them together.” Quite often an animated, com- petitive sport, cricket is a way for newcomers to the country to ac- climatize to unfamiliar surround- ings, says Jason McKenzie, co-coor- dinator of last year’s Pickering High School Cricket Club. “It’s tough at times for many kids to get used to Canadian culture. Coming from other countries, other ethnic backgrounds, it’s not always easy to fit in,” said Mr. McKenzie, a 32-year-old Durham Region supply teacher. “I, myself, had a great high school experience growing up. I just want the same for these kids. Pick- ering (High School) has done an incredible job of helping these kids to adapt. They have a great sports program.” Cricket keeps making gains Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Celebration time PICKERING — Dunbarton High School students held a culture show this week to celebrate the diversity of the school and community. A number of acts performed, including, from left, Priya Gosyne, Rannal Mapp, and Saudia Jadunandan. They did a Soca Dance.

Available at Charting a diverse future for Ajax and Pickering infodurhamregion.com By Joshua May Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — Diversity pays, says Alton Atkinson. Chairman of the Ajax Diver- sity Advisory Committee, Mr. Atkinson is adamant the evolu- tion and prominence of the town ties in largely with its diversity movement. Consistently pro- moting the concept that people migrate and set up business where they’re most comfortable, Mr. Atkinson believes that if Ajax increases its municipal response to the needs of cultural residents, that economic growth and po- litical involvement will inevitably grow alongside. “Right now, 40 per cent of all people moving to Ajax are of a diverse background. That’s a considerable number if you con- sider the fact that we are failing to comply with the needs and desires of this populace,” said Mr. Atkinson. “If we don’t do some- thing now, we’re likely to end up much like Scarborough where race relations are a prominent issue in the community.” An advisory body to Ajax council, the committee, which recently changed its name from the Ajax Race Relations Commit- tee, is one of only three commit- tees that handle race relations in Durham, including Pickering and the Oshawa based Multicultural Council of Oshawa Durham. Pickering Ward 3 City Coun- cillor David Pickles is chairman of the Pickering Race Relations and Equity Advisory Committee. He feels race relations work within the com- munity, offers both local council and resi- dents a voice for their cultural concerns. “It’s important that committees like these exist,” said Coun. Pickles. “These groups offer local citizens the opportunity to lend their views on race relations and diversity issues to a forum that will share these thoughts and beliefs with authority figures in the town that are able to make changes. It also allows for input by council to be directly communicated back to the community.” A member of the committee for more than a year and half, Coun. Pickles has focused a good portion of its objectives upon the youth generation. Feeling these youngsters have the greatest op- portunity to lend change to race relations, both Coun. Pickles and Mr. Atkinson agree that the more the community, and society as a whole, trains youth to be tolerant and accepting of others ethnici- ties and cultures, the more effec- tive it will be for the quelling of diversity conflicts. “Our youth has the greatest op- portunity ever to create change in their community (in regards to diversity issues),” said Mr. At- kinson. “If we can en- courage these young people to become actively involved in positive diversity rela- tions and help to cre- ate similar commit- tees (to our own), the possibilities for future harmony are endless.” Garry Cubitt, chief administrative officer for the Region, said Durham recognizes the importance of diversity com- mittees. However, Mr. Cubitt feels the initiatives of these groups are far more effective when handled at a local level. “It has been suggested for a while that Durham Region in- stitute a diversity committee,” said Mr. Cubitt. “However, we at the Region feel that it is wiser and more productive to have the existing committees, which al- ready examine these issues with tremendous care and concern, continue their localized efforts rather than have the community of Durham try to duplicate their work.” David Pickles Clean up your act , help family centre AJAX — While doing spring cleaning, It Takes a Village Fam- ily Resource Centre wants you to keep in mind the old adage — one person’s trash is another’s treasure.

Pickering athlete to run in NCAA regional qualifier in Indiana later this month PICKERING — A Pickering track and field athlete is looking to earn a spot in the national col- legiate championships in Cali- fornia next month, but must first give the performance of his life in order to advance. Ian Mayne, a senior at the Uni- versity of Tennessee at Chatta- nooga, competes in the 3,000- metre steeplechase at the NCAA Mideast Regional meet in Bloom- ington, Indiana on May 28. A top-five finish will earn Mayne a spot in the NCAA na- tional championships in Sacra- mento, California in June. Earlier this season, Mayne won the 3,000m steeplechase at the Sea Ray Relays at the Univer- sity of Tennessee in Knoxville, Te nn. in a personal best and UTC school record time of 9:06. The time was also 16 seconds better than his personal best and bet- tered his NCAA qualifying time from earlier in the season by two seconds. Mayne believes he’ll have to run much faster than 9:06 to have a chance to advance to the na- tionals. “I’m going to have to run under 9:00 if I hope to qualify for na- tionals,” says Mayne. To ward that end, Mayne has re- turned home to Pickering, where he is training through most of May in order to prepare for the mideast regionals. His performance at the Sea Ray Relays earned him South Conference Runner of the Week honours. And that wasn’t the only ac- colade Mayne earned this sea- son. At the Southern Confer- ence outdoor championships in Cullowhee, North Carolina, he captured top spot in the 3,000m steeplechase in what he de- scribes as a tactical race from start to finish. The race “went out slow and I broke away from the pack after three laps (finishing the race) in 9:23,” he says. The next day, he was entered in the 5,000 metres and placed fourth in what he says was an- other tactical race. His results earned him South- ern Conference Runner of the Month honours for April. Earlier in the outdoor season, Mayne placed 13th in the 5,000 metres after falling. He was still able to complete the race in a 14:48, which was nine seconds better than his previous personal best. At the Alabama Relays, the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School graduate was sixth in the 1,500 metres, in a time of 3:56, three seconds better than his previous best. At the Southern Conference indoor championships he placed fourth in the 3,000 metres and third in the 5,000 metres. Mayne returns to UTC in the fall to complete his athletic el- igibility and also to finish his biology (pre-med) degree with a minor in chemistry and busi- ness: entrepreneurship. He posted a 4.0 grade-point average for the semester, which brought his overall GPA up to 3.84. Mayne chasing steeplechase gold Engel loses to top seed in tight final match of under-13 age group PICKERING — A Pickering youth finished with a highly respectable silver medal at the 2005 Canadian Junior Closed Champi- onships at Calgary’s Winter Club last week- end. Adam Engel, 12, who earned a third seed in the under-13 age group at nationals, was beat- en by top-seeded Albert Shoihet of Ontario 9-7, 9-5, 10-8 for the gold medal. In the semifinals, Engel de- feated second-ranked Philip Auer of Alberta 9-1, 9-2, 9-3. After earning an opening- round bye, Engel defeated Jason Field of Alberta 9-2, 9-2, 9-1 in the round of 32 to advance to the round of 16 where he defeated Reinson Blake of Alberta 9-0, 9-1, 9-3. In the quarter-finals, Engel defeated Julian Hough 9-6, 9-6, 9-1. The Grade 7 student at St. Isaac Jogues Catholic School, who trains out of the Pickering Recreation Complex under local pro Nicole Carroll, improved his ranking from third to second in the nation as a result of his solid performance at the nationals. Late last month, Engel post- ed an impressive victory at the Quebec Open Squash Champi- onships in Montreal. Playing up an age group in the boys’ under- 15 bracket, Engel still posted the tournament victory. He also appeared in the finals of the U.S. Open at Yale Uni- versity, as well as the Ontario Open Squash Championships in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

It’s a Mobile Showroom which just may be the only one in Canada. “The day is gone when you car- ried some brochures and a sample window to a customer’s home,” ex- plains Wayne. “So I obtained a retired North York Mobile Library truck and installed interior walls along with all of my window samples.” When you call Durham Windows and Doors for a free estimate, Wayne will show up at your door with his Mo- bile Showroom which you’ll enter by way of a sliding patio door. Inside, displayed on the walls, are the Vinyl Window Designs series of vinyl windows which you’re free to operate and you’ll discover the many special features including how they can be cleaned without going outside. “A fter being in this business for 25 years, I can honestly say these are the fi nest windows on the market,” says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware.” All Vinyl Window Designs win- dows come with Low E Glass which fi lters out the ultraviolet rays keep- ing your home cooler in the summer and eliminate fading of your curtains, drapes and furniture. All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty on the frame, hard- ware and glass. Wa yne would also like his cus- tomers to know that he does all of the estimates personally, eliminating the cost of a salesperson. Durham Windows and Doors also does all of its own installations, which ensures that every customer gets a high quality job done at the best possible price. Durham Windows and Doors is located at 696 King St. W. in Oshawa. For more information call (905) 579- 2222 or 1-888-576-8575. Mobile Showroom Freshman infielder named conference player of the week PICKERING — A Pickering soft- ball player is having a solid begin- ning to the season with her U.S. college team. Stephanie Reid, the freshman shortstop with the Winthrop Uni- versity Lady Eagles of North Car- olina, was named the Big South Conference player of the week last week. Reid helped the Lady Eagles to five wins, including three against conference opponents. During the week, she hit a blistering .333 with six runs, five runs-batted-in and a slugging percentage of .833. Dur- ing that time, she also hit three home runs in one game against Charlotte, with one of those ding- ers proving to be the winning run. Reid currently leads Winthrop with .345 batting average and has 40 hits, second best on the team. At the beginning of the season, Reid batted in the eighth spot. After 20 games and hitting .352, she was moved up to third in the order where her batting average is .283, but her power and produc- tion are up.

Four times, Nemechek has won Cup races, the most recent being at Kansas Speedway last fall. And he feels as if his team, MB2 Motorsports, is giving him competitive cars at virtually every track. Good fortune has eluded him, though, and he finds himself 24 th in the Nextel Cup standings this week. “It seems like some drivers have more bad luck than others,”said Nemechek. “In my case...I still think this can be my best year in Cup racing. “The team has done everything they said they wanted to do. All we wanted to,do is be consistent, get a top-10. If we can do that every weekend, we’re going to be a threat for the championship. You just look back at what ‘coulda, shoulda, woulda’, and, heck, we’d be easy top-10 in the points. And that didn’t happen. Being a bad-luck magnet? Yeah, sometimes I feel like, yes, all this stuff does come at me.” Nemechek considers his experience an advantage both in improving his team’s performance and coping with adversity. “I’m there to get the most out of my equipment that I can, he said. You can’t, I guess the best word I can use is, ‘overuse’ your equipment. You’re not going to finish. There are a lot of guys that don’t take care of their equipment and can’t finish, but I’ve always been a pretty smart driver, trying to stay out of the accidents, trying not to abuse the engine, the transmission, the rear-end gear. “Sometimes things happen, but you just can’t say, ‘hey, my car’s good and I’m just going to go out and stay out of trouble today.’ I mean, you have to do that all the time. It’s just not whenever you have a good car.” Contact Monte Dutton at hmdutton50@aol.com John Clark/NASCAR This Week Joe Nemechek and his 7-year-old son, John Hunter, watch the action during Daytona 500 qualifying earlier this season. Nemechek is currently 24th in the points race. NEXTEL CUP 1. Jimmie Johnson 1,368 2. Kurt Busch - 130 3. Jeff Gordon - 151 4. Greg Biffle - 187 5. Elliott Sadler - 204 6. Tony Stewart - 280 7.
