PICKERING — Several people
recently came out to show their
support for a new Pickering ad-
visory committee that they say
makes life easier for 125 “hard-
working” people and their fami-
lies.
Council passed a motion May
2 creating an advisory committee
to review the taxicab bylaw and
other issues that might be brought
to the committee’s attention. It
was created in response to mem-
bers of the industry wanting open
communication with members of
council and City staff.
“My issue regarding the com-
mittee is all the taxi industry has
been going through trouble, with
this committee at least the prob-
lems that arise in the future we can
have the questions answered,” said
Surinder Kumar, who has been
driving a taxi in Pickering for 12
years. “We would like to bring this
committee into effect because it
can help us in the future if we have
any problems. If we have a prob-
lem with a plate, with the public,
this committee can help.”
He said there are at least 125
drivers in the city but that this
committee isn’t just for them.
“It is (for the) 125 families we are
feeding,” Mr. Kumar said. “They
are not a burden on the city, they
are hard-working people and they
need your support.”
Kewal Manocha has been driv-
ing a cab in Pickering for 10 years.
“The taxi drivers should be con-
sidered one of the best citizens
because he goes through a medi-
cal check and other checks before
becoming a taxi driver,” he said,

DURHAM — The Ajax and Pick-
ering hospital auxiliary is losing
a major source of its fundraising
revenue.
The coffee shop it has oper-
ated in the Rouge Valley Health
System’s Ajax location for 35 years
is coming to a close at the end of
July — a decision made by the
hospital.
“We’re very upset about it,” said
Ella Joel, the auxiliary’s president.
“We don’t really understand it.”

don’t have to do that.
Mr. Manocha stressed
how needed the committee
is.
“We are going through
a very tough time... most
of the drivers are getting
assaultive behaviour from
dispatchers, owners and
managers,” he said. “We
need this advisory commit-
tee in Pickering to protect
taxi drivers and the pub-
lic.”
Council’s support was
stronger than
ever after hearing
from the guests.
“There is no
question after
hearing from
our speakers to-
night the need
for this commit-
tee to be struck
as soon as pos-
sible,” said Ward
1 Regional Councillor
Maurice Brenner. “These
individuals have been the
victims of abuse,
exploitation and
they have not had
regular commu-
nication with the
municipality that
regulates this in-
dustry.”
He brought for-
ward the motion
for the commit-
tee, which is simi-
lar to those in other mu-
nicipalities.
It is to be comprised
of two drivers, two taxi-
cab owners, two business
owners, one member of
the industry at large, two
members of council, one
member of the community
at large, and staff from the
clerk’s and bylaw divisions.
Coun. Brenner and
Wa rd 2 Regional Councillor
Bill McLean were chosen as
the council representatives.
“This committee will
provide a funnel of vent-
ing to allow the industry to
organize themselves to be
able to speak openly with-
out fear of reprisal,” Coun.
Brenner said.
Coun. McLean said the
committee was necessary.
“It’s something that we as
a committee can do to pro-
tect the rights of the drivers,
the community at large, the
owners and the industry,”
he said. “There is no tough-
er job that I can imagine
than a cab driver.”
The motion passed
unanimously.

DURHAM — If you’ve
found a dead bird, you can
now report it using the In-
ternet.
The Durham Region
health department is offer-
ing online reporting as West
Nile Virus surveillance sea-
son starts. As of May 9, resi-
dents can log on to www.
region.durham.on.ca and
report dead birds.
The Region’s focus is
again on crows, blue jays
and raptors such as eagles,
hawks and owls.

Gap between rest
of province pegged
at $544 million
By Danielle Milley
Staff Writer
PICKERING — The resi-
dents of Durham and the
rest of the 905 area are not
getting their fair share when
it comes to health care fund-
ing, according to an alliance
of 10 hospitals.
The GTA/905 Health-
care Alliance report, ‘The
State of Hospital Care in
the GTA/905’, calls for fair
funding for those hospitals.
Released earlier this month,
the report pegs the gap be-
tween hospital funding in
the area and the
rest of Ontario at
$544 million and
growing.
“As the alliance
has made clear
on numerous oc-
casions, we do
not receive a fair
share of funding
for our local hos-
pitals,” said Tariq
Asmi, executive
director of the association.
Recently, Mr. Asmi made
a presentation at Pickering’s
management forum meet-
ing and asking for council’s
support.
“We hope you will con-
tinue to add your
voice to the call
for fair funding,”
he said. “The
more resolu-
tions we can have
passed, the stron-
ger our voice.”
Durham’s per-
capita funding in
2002-03 was $527,
compared with
the provincial av-
erage of $704. The number
was $492 for all of the 905.
The provincial average ex-
cludes Toronto and north-
ern Ontario as those areas
cost more to service.
If the funding in Dur-
ham were increased to the
provincial average it would
mean an extra $86.6 million
for hospitals here. Hume
Martin, the Rouge Valley
Health System chief execu-
tive officer, said that would
ease their funding struggles,
adding 905 hospitals should
get more than the provin-
cial average.
He explained hospital
budgets are based on his-
torical data, which has left
booming areas such as
Durham and the 905 under-
funded.
“Hospital budgets in
high-growth areas are far
below budgets in commu-
nities that are growing less
quickly,” Mr. Martin said.
More than three million
people live in the GTA,
which represents 25 per
cent of Ontario’s residents,
and that number is growing.
Many of those people have
to leave their community to
get health care because the
services are not available at
home due to lack of fund-
ing, the report says.
This costs the health-
care system more as it costs
less, on average, to treat
each case at a 905 hospi-
tal ($3,391) compared to
To ronto teaching hospitals
($4,860) and all Toronto
hospitals ($4,187). Those
figures are for treating a
standardized patient, re-
gardless of the complexity
of the procedure and the
patient’s characteristics.
“You wonder why we
have backups and delays
in our emergency depart-
ments, we just don’t have
the room,” Mr. Asmi said.

GREENWOOD HAMLET SERVICING &
WESTNEY ROAD RE-ALIGNMENT STUDY
Integrated Approach –
Planning Act and Class Environmental Assessment
NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT
The hamlet of Greenwood has been established as a priority area for rural growth. A
Settlement Capacity Study has been submitted by Berrywoods Farm Inc. as required
by the Region of Durham Offi cial Plan. In order to obtain the necessary approvals
to expand this hamlet, the applicant proposes to conduct the Greenwood Hamlet
Servicing & Westney Road Re-alignment Study.
The Greenwood Hamlet & Westney Road Re-alignment Study will address the
following three components needed for the expansion:
• Proposed Berrywoods Farm plan of subdivision;
• Proposed Westney Road Re-alignment; and,
• Proposed new wastewater system (including treatment, outfall and full collection
system).
Planning Act and Class Environmental Assessment
The landowners will use the “integrated approach” set out in Section A.2.9 of the Class
Environmental Assessment for Municipal Projects. This study will address the Planning
Act approvals and the Schedule C Class Environmental Assessment requirements
for the road and wastewater projects together. In accordance with the integrated
approach, once the landowner has satisfi ed Section A.2.9 of the Class Environmental
Assessment, the Planning Act approval of the subdivision will constitute the fulfi llment of
the requirements of the Class Environmental Assessment for the specifi ed wastewater
and road projects.
Possible methods of implementing the proposed projects will be evaluated based on
the effects on the following:
• Engineering and Public Safety • Natural Environment
• Social/Cultural Environment • Economic Environment
Public Consultation
Public input during the planning process of this project is encouraged. Three Public
Information Centres will be scheduled over the next year. These meetings will
provide additional information and answer your questions regarding the project prior
to completion of the study and the selection of a preferred solution.
Comments or Questions?
Add your name to our study mailing list, or if you have any comments or questions or
require any further information about the study or the Municipal Class Environmental
Assessment, please contact the person listed below.

two reasons. In an effort to deal
with its funding problems, Rouge
Valley has cut in half its $350,000
food service subsidy (across both
sites), prompting it to change the
way it offers retail food services,
she said.
In addition, as the Ajax site
heads into its redevelopment
plans, the existing cafeteria is
going to be closed as it becomes
part of the new ambulatory care
unit. These two factors prompted
the hospital to decide to open
a new food service kiosk, which
will feature Tim Hortons prod-
ucts, pizza, soup and cereal — a
wider variety than available at the
auxiliary coffee shop. Once the
redevelopment is complete, the
kiosk is to be expanded into the
new cafeteria.
Ms. Joel said the coffee shop is
a big source of fundraising, bring-
ing in $100,000 a year. Of that,
$50,000 to $60,000 goes to the
hospital.
“It certainly puts a big dent in
our fundraising effort,” she said.
The auxiliary has donated more
than $4 million to the hospital
over the years
Ms. Cronin-Wood said the aux-
iliary’s coffee shop would have
had to close during construction
anyway.
It can’t reopen once the rede-
velopment is complete because
there was never space set aside
for it and it “would put them in
direct competition” with the new
kiosk, she said.
“We think this is a better way to
deliver retail food services to staff,
physicians and visitors,” Ms. Cro-
nin-Wood
said, adding
it is able to
offer Tim
Hortons and
other brand
name prod-
ucts through
licensing
agreements.
S he adds
projections
show the
new kiosk will bring in revenues
similar to the auxiliary’s coffee
shop.
She added auxiliary members
were one of the user groups in-
volved with the design of the
building and knew there wasn’t
going to be a new coffee shop
in the redeveloped hospital, al-
though the official word wasn’t
given until early spring.
Ms. Joel said she was told of
the decision April 6 in one of her
regular meetings with chief ex-
ecutive officer Hume Martin.
“They just told me the proposal
would be presented to the board
to have the (new) coffee shop
come in,” she said.
The auxiliary doesn’t know
how it is going to replace the lost
revenue and Ms. Joel thinks the
change could result in the loss of
volunteers. “People in the com-
munity should be aware it is a
done deal... I find it very frustrat-
ing,” she said.
Ms. Cronin-Wood hopes the
move won’t hurt the hospital’s
relationship with the auxiliary.
“The auxiliary has done an out-
standing job in supporting the
hospital,” she said. “They have
hundreds of adult and student
volunteers that help the hospital,
I would hope this is not going to
damage the relationship.”
Move ‘puts a big dent’ in
fundraising, auxiliary says

Practise your French this summer
Student exchange
program available
By Danielle Milley
Staff Writer
DURHAM — Students in Ajax and
Pickering have a unique opportu-
nity to practise their French while
living in another part of Canada.
The Summer Work-Student Ex-
change program is looking for ap-
plicants who want to do something
different this summer. Participants
travel to a Francophone communi-
ty in either Quebec or New Bruns-
wick for six weeks in July and Au-
gust where they live with another
participant’s family. They work full-
time at a non-profit organization.
“They most likely will be working
at a day camp, or a library or muse-
um,” said Lindsey Watson, the local
co-ordinator, adding they are paid
the provincial minimum wage.
This is the 10th year for SWSE,
which has grown from 40 partici-
pants to 1,200 across the country.
The program is open to 16- and
17-year-olds whose parents are
willing to serve as hosts to anoth-
er participant. For those students
whose families don’t want to serve
as hosts the program can try to ac-
commodate them.
“The benefits of the program are
you develop your second language
skills, you gain experience in a dif-
ferent community, the work experi-
ence and you get to meet a whole
lot of people,” she said.
The program is administered by
the Canadian Unity Council. There
is no cost to participants and trans-
portation is provided by Via Rail
Canada. The program is funded by
the Department of Canadian Heri-
tage through Exchanges Canada.
The deadline to apply is May 20.

EDITORIAL
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Rouge Valley has
no other choice
but to deliver
M aybe it’s merely deja vu.
Not to make light of what is a serious concern for
Ajax and Pickering’s hospital, but this sounds all
too familiar as the public must once again pace the floor
waiting for news of its hospital’s maternity ward.
Ultimately, it’s in no way Rouge Valley Health System’s
fault that it is up against a shortage of pediatricians. How-
ever, by all means officials have been made aware of the af-
fection and ownership these two communities have for the
obstetrics department and the hospital as a whole. And to
that end, they know residents want stability there.
So, based on the response of local doctors to the situation,
with unequivocal support for keeping at least some level
of maternity care open, Rouge Valley has no choice but to
make it happen. Even if that means only low-risk deliveries
performed here, then so be it. To even temporarily close the
ward opens the door to the possibility of a day when the
hospital closes its doors to childbirth all together. And that’s
a situation the public would certainly rail against.
At a time when the community is rallying around an ex-
pansion-fundraising campaign for improved emergency ser-
vices, Rouge Valley must not lose sight of what is historically
an integral part of Ajax and Pickering hospital’s services.
A telling comment from Dr. Henry Huang could be used
as a key plank in building a solution, even if it is temporary.
The president of the Rouge Valley Medical Staff Society and
a member of the hospital’s board of directors says the Ajax
hospital has helped the Centenary site in the past with phy-
sicians relocating there. It’s time, Dr. Huang adds, for Cente-
nary to return the favour.
On the other hand, the hospital’s CEO says Rouge Valley
doesn’t have money in the budget to pay doctors. But they
have had to do so in the past in order to keep it open, so
they will have to continue doing so until pediatricians are
recruited to solve the problem.
Rouge Valley finds itself in a difficult situation, one not of
its making, but it must keep this essential service open, even
in a limited capacity. Rouge Valley can count on public sup-
port now and in the long-term if it does so.
Coffee to go a big disappointment
To the editor:
I am a longtime resident of Ajax and unfortunately have
also been a patient several times at Rouge Valley Ajax and
Pickering hospital.
During these visits, either as a patient or as a visitor, I have
always been impressed by the volunteers and their compas-
sion and caring.
I know that the volunteers donate not only their time but
also raise a great deal of revenue for the hospital. I now under-
stand that one of their sources of revenue is being taken away
from them, namely their coffee shop. The shop has been a fix-
ture of the hospital for many years and is going to be replaced
by Tim Hortons. How many outlets does Tim Hortons need in
Ajax? And do we really need one in our hospital.
I think that the community should rally behind the auxil-
iary because if you look on the donor board in the hospital
you will see that the auxiliary is the number-one contributor.
Insist that the administration of the hospital allow the auxil-
iary to keep its coffee shop. We are losing services and staff at
the hospital, do we also need to lose this as well?

Province should be held
accountable for its role
in this costly mess
I n a strange twist of ironic fate, it now
looks as if some regional staff will be
homeless by 2007.
The new regional headquarters will
be at maximum capacity less than three
years after staff and councillors move
in. Is it bad karma that just a few short
weeks after regional council refused to
give our shelters more money, they’re
now facing a housing crisis of their
own?
Maybe, instead of spending a few
million dollars to put an addition on
the cramped regional headquarters, we
should let staff take over the beauti-
ful rotund council chambers and hold
meetings at the Cornerstone men’s hos-
tel or the YWCA.
It’s disheartening to hear whispers
that people at the Province and other
municipalities are laughing at the Re-
gion and its headquarters mess. The
new building, so striking, with different
textures and angles of glass and con-
crete, is supposed to be a showpiece for
our regional government.
Instead, because the Province contin-
ues to dangle a new courthouse in front
of Durham residents, they have forced
the Region into a concrete jungle at 605
Rossland Rd. The mammoth original
regional headquarters sits as a mockery,
as Provincial court employees scurry in
and completely take over.
What a kick in the face it would be
if the rumours turned out to be true,
and the cash-strapped provincial gov-
ernment swooped in, expropriated the
land the big white palace sits on, and
announced it would be the Durham
courthouse.
Ajax Regional Councillor Scott Craw-
ford is right when he says the building
and its add-ons get thrown in his face.
As the front-line people, councillors
have the unfortunate job of having to
answer for the facility, when it’s blatant-
ly obvious the fiasco is the Province’s
fault.
But in the end, it’s Durham taxpayers
— including regional staff and the elect-
ed officials — who will bear the brunt
of it all. Whether it’s the paving over of
trees and parkettes on the site itself, or
the money we’ll have to fork out as both
regional and Provincial taxpayers, we all
lose.

Walking is the simplest and easiest form of exercise
imaginable. With its natural pleasures and range of
benefits, walking occupies a special place in the world of
healthy living. Thirty minutes of walking each day can help
maintain flexibility, increase mobility and build strength and
endurance. Almost anyone can participate at any skill level
– from seniors to kids. It’s easy, convenient and inexpensive
– all one needs is a good pair of shoes.
“Canadians of any age and weight can use walking as a
great way to keep active and healthy,” remarksYvonne Chan,
a physiotherapist and area manager for LifeMark Health
in eastern Ontario. “The simple act of walking can play an
important role in keeping you feeling good. Walking helps
with mobility in your joints, stimulates muscles, pumps
blood through your heart and lungs, and it can help you to
lose body fat by burning off calories. It can be a walk around
the neighbourhood or as simple as finding a parking spot
further away from the door. Start small and grow into it. It’s
easy to make walking a part of your everyday life. You just
need to find your own fun way to do it.”
Canadian physiotherapists suggest, before starting any
walking or recreational program, to ease into the activity to
avoid undue stress to the muscles and joints. During the first
week, walk 10 to 15 minutes at a slow pace, on a flat surface
– avoiding hills and stairs. After week one, maintain the same
distance but pick up the pace. Over the next several weeks,
build up gradually
to a 20 to 30 minute
walk, three to four
times per week, at
a pace that is brisk
but comfortable.
The Canadian
Physiotherapy
A ssociation
suggests the
following five
S .M.A.R.T.
Walking tips:
Stretch, Move,
Add it up, Reduce
strain, Talk to a
physiotherapist.
STRETCH
A warm up and
cool down is vital
to every walking
program. Keep
muscles flexible
and relaxed, joints
mobile, and relieve
tension and strain
by doing a few
gentle stretches
before and
after your walk.
Important areas
to stretch are the
neck, shoulders,
arms, low back and
spine, hip flexors,
buttocks, quads,
hamstrings, shins,
calves and ankles.
Stretch until you
feel tension but
not pain. Do not
bounce as this can
tear the muscle
fibres.
MOVE
TODAY FOR
TOMORROW
Walking is one
of the healthiest
activities to help
gain and maintain
physical mobility.
The body was
designed with balance in mind and if you somehow walk out
of balance, you are placing added stress on the parts of your
body that have to compensate in order to keep you upright.
With good posture you will be able to breathe easier and
avoid back pain. Use the following tips to keep your body in
line and add more power to your step.
• Focus on keeping your shoulders square and relaxed.
• Focus on achieving an efficient stride; not too long, not
too short.
• Find and maintain a consistent, comfortable pace.
• Maintain a tall erect posture, keeping your torso
upright.
• Focus on keeping your breathing relaxed.
• Think about arm swing, driving your arms backwards,
not just forwards.
• Stay relaxed and keep shoulders loose.
• Foot strike is key; pay attention to actively pushing off,
rolling from the heel right through and off the end of
the toe.
• Focus on pointing your feet straight ahead.

Patients are coming into my office in increasing
numbers, already knowing what their problem is.
Long before I enter the examination room and
have made my diagnosis. They are able to tell
me which form of treatment they would prefer.
I am finding this especially so with athletic foot
problems and with parents whose children have
foot pains.
We are currently living in an information age
and the internet has turned everyone’s home into
libraries filled with volumes of information. Some
of the websites are factual and set up for the lay-
person, however, some are so detailed, they only
confuse the internet user.
W hen surfing the net, try to be specific, to
avoid being inundated with hundreds of web
pages . For example, never just search the word
“foot” as this is far too broad a topic. You can begin
your search with the Ontario Podiatry Association
Website. The internet allows you to search for a
podiatrist in your area, look up specific problems
(arthritis.ca) and their treatments, or it may help
you develop a training program.
For simple problems, the internet can be
beneficial. In some cases this may resolve the
problem without the need for professional help.
Care should always be taken when treating
yourself, a simple problem may turn into a larger,
more extensive one that will require professional
help.
The laws are vague governing any standard
of medical accuracy or its content. Be wary of
promises and quick fixes that are being sold on the
internet. Never buy prescription drugs on the net.
You, as a layperson are not aware of the possible
drug interactions with any other medications you
may be on.
Whatever the advantages of the internet are,
the negatives are just as great. Nothing replaces the
need for the medical professional and his ability to
educate.

Plenty of activity and
events to plan for in
Ajax and Pickering
By Jason Chamberlain
Special to the News Advertiser
DURHAM — As the school year
winds down and the weather gets
warmer, families in Ajax and Pick-
ering are turning their thoughts to
summer.
And there’s no shortage of sum-
mer activities available in the area,
both entertaining and cost-friendly
ways for families to spend time to-
gether.
The Ajax Public Library has spe-
cial programs lined up for parents
looking to introduce their children
to the world of literature over the
summer months. Kids can join the
TD Summer Reading Club by pick-
ing up a free summer reading club
kit at the library’s main branch (55
Harwood Ave. S.) on June 29.
“They get a poster, a booklet and
stickers, and they get more stickers
as they read,” said Cindy Kimber,
community relations co-ordinator
at the library.
The club also includes activity
days for kids and their parents from
July 4 to Aug. 25 at all three branch-
es. The sessions are held at the main
branch Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m., at
the village branch (58 Church St. N.)
on Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m., and at
the McLean branch (95 Magill Dr.)
on Thursdays at 10:30 a.m.
“They’ll do activities and crafts
and share stories,” said Ms. Kimber.
The library is planning a ‘Harry
Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’
book launch party Saturday, July 16
at 10 a.m. “The first 50 children on
the hold list will get to borrow the
book,” said Ms. Kimber.
The day will also include a special
segment called Potions 101, where
kids will explore the science behind
the spells and potions that Harry
learns.
Parents might also be interested
in taking their children to meet Ca-
nadian children’s author Richard
Scrimger (‘The Boy From Earth,’
‘The Nose From Jupiter’) when he
visits the main branch July 12 at
10:30 a.m.
Fa mily activities are also available
at the Pickering Museum Village in
Greenwood. Parents can bring their
children to the Kids in the Village
summer craft program, running
We dnesdays and Fridays each week
in July and August. The program in-
cludes a crafts period as well as the
pioneer games played by children
centuries ago.
The program costs $3 per child,
and $4 per adult.
The museum also runs three dif-
ferent summer drop-off camps, in-
cluding a pioneer camp where kids
go on hikes and learn how to survive
in the wilderness. Families can also
purchase a yearly pass to the mu-
seum for $45 to take full advantage
the programs.
“History can be so much fun,”
said Katrina Pyke, volunteer and
program co-ordinator at the mu-
seum. “We’re famous for bringing it
to life, and we offer as many experi-
ences as possible.”
For more information call 905-
683-8401.
Heading further south, the 2005
Frenchman’s Bay Festival is at Mil-
lennium Square on Liverpool Road.
The carnival begins Friday, June 10,
and there’s a weekend full of events.
Activities include a colouring con-
test and beach volleyball, as well
as a variety of stage entertainment.
More information is available at
www.frenchmansbayfestival.com.
Beginning the same weekend in
Ajax is the 35th Annual Ajax Home
Week festivities.
A parade Saturday, June 11 kicks
off an extensive list of activities,
which all wraps up Sunday, June 19
with fireworks at dusk as part of a
day-long waterfront festival.
Family summer fun choices don’t
end there. Consider a visit to the
Petticoat Creek Conservation Area,
1100 Whites Rd. Open during June,
July and August, it offers plenty of
space for family picnics, as well as a
large pool. Parking is $10.
In Pickering Village, it’ll be a day
of music Saturday, June 25 with the
return of the annual jazz festival.
“It’s going to be fun, with lots of
music and good food,” said June
Timmons, an event volunteer.
It takes place at Old Kingston
Road from noon until midnight, and
features a number of bands includ-
ing popular acts Ragweed and Hot
Air.
Elsewhere in Ajax, residents can
celebrate Canada and the 50th an-
niversary of the town on July 1 dur-
ing Canada Day festivities at Rotary
Park. Activities include face paint-
ing, carnival games, and a petting
zoo.
“It’s a chance to celebrate our
country’s birthday, our past and our
future,” said Lisa Warth, community
recreation co-ordinator. “It’s a great
family day.”
These are only a few of the many
events that families can enjoy in
Ajax and Pickering this summer.

www.townofajax.com and www.

Families can have fun all summer long
Policing started with
humble beginnings
Did you know that Pickering
was once protected by one police
officer on two wheels?
In 1937 Pickering Township de-
cided it was necessary to have
a municipal policeman. Chester
Wellington was hired for the job.
From the Third Concession
Road to the north, between Whit-
by and Scarborough and includ-
ing the west side of the Rouge
River, Chester patrolled his beat
by bicycle.
When he retired in 1942, Jack
Irvine used his car with a five-
cent per mile car allowance. He
was on duty eight hours a day, six
days a week. Help arrived in 1946
when Fred White was added to
the force.
When Jack Irving resigned in
1950, L.W. Trinnell, a veteran of
the Toronto Police was hired as
Pickering Township police chief
at $26,000 per year and Mr. White
was promoted to sergeant. Two
constables were added and a po-
lice car was purchased.
In 1951 police business was car-
ried out from the chief’s home on
Evelyn Avenue. After renting for
some time, the force moved into
newly built quarters on Kingston
Road in 1955. A new chief was ap-
pointed as well as a new sergeant
and a new constable.
In 1956 John Found was hired
as a clerk-dispatcher, two radio
cars were put into service and
an identification branch started.
In 1973 the Pickering Township
Police became part of the new
Durham Regional Police Service.

A trip into our past
After reading an article about
the new fashion trend of racist and
discriminatory remarks that are
shamelessly posted on ordinary
T-shirts, it has finally come to my
attention that we teenagers have
in fact discarded both our fashion
sense along with our ethics.
Te enagers like myself have al-
ways treated their individual style
as if it was a personal barcode
showing off their identity. How-
ever, the problem that arises is
that many of them believe there
are too many scanners in society
deciding if what they wear is con-
sidered appropriate for society’s
norms.
These rebellious teens have suc-
ceeded in their attempts to shock
with their racist, hateful and dis-
criminatory T-shirts, and I, like
many others, am quite offended.
As a 17-year-old, I’ll admit that
I have contemplated buying the ‘I
Wish These Were Brains’ T-shirt,
thinking perhaps that poking fun
at myself would also be humorous
to others. Hey, that’s a great first
impression for any onlookers: “Hi,
I’ve got a huge chest, too bad I’m
a total moron.” Needless to say
I decided against purchasing the
overpriced $40 T.
The shock threshold seems to
keep rising with this new fashion
trend. How about seeing a teenag-
er sporting their latest purchase of
a shirt declaring ‘I bought Christo-
pher Reeve’s Wheelchair on EBay’
or ‘You can’t have manslaughter
without laughter’? Attention-seek-
ing teens eagerly buy these gar-
ments, never knowing the effect it
may have on individuals who, for
example, saw Christopher Reeve
as an incredible role model or are
unnerved at recent stories of ter-
rible crimes.
It’s a wful to think that for teen-
agers to get attention nowadays
they have to put graphic and hurt-
ful pictures and remarks on their
clothing. Not only is it outright
rude, but it’s also hurtful to many
onlookers.
In addition to that, these T-
shirts are being purchased by con-
sumers online, which also means
that they are completely anony-
mous. Could it be that something
called a conscience is telling them
that what they’re doing is morally
wrong? Phew, thank goodness for
the privacy of the Internet. With
all of the time that’s spent making
sure Canada tries to be a non-
racist and non-discriminatory
nation, here we are buying $30
T-shirts that directly conflict with
those goals. What’s next, ‘Hail Hit-
ler’ shirts?
A more positive approach to
inimitable clothing in the future
may involve T-shirts with pictures
of friends or other non-racist
and non-discriminatory phrases.
These types of shirts do not of-
fend anybody who may be look-
ing, which is more than anyone
can say for the latest ‘Jesus is my
Homeboy’ trend. Unfortunately, I
have just skimmed the surface of
the disgusting ideas these shirts
portray.
Why doesn’t someone actually
challenge themselves to be fresh
and unique for once? We have
enough shock in the world with-
out these T-shirts, thank you. Just
watch the news.

PICKERING — Dunbarton High Spartans’ John Moonlight, left, and James Thompson rush in to tackle Port Perry Reb-
els’ Blake Cunningham, while Dunbarton’s Haroon Ahmed and Aaron Holt run in to assist in the tackle during Durham
Region senior boys’ ‘A’ rugby action at Port Perry High School fields on Tuesday.
PICKERING — Pickering Swim
Club members powered to impres-
sive performances at the Dr. Ralph
Hicken Invitational swim meet in
Etobicoke from May 8 to 10.
The club sent 16 swimmers to the
high-profile meet at the Etobicoke
Olympium pool, which attracted 16
swim teams and 516 athletes.
All told, Pickering swimmers
took off a cumulative 1,231 seconds
and earned 149 best times in their
various events. Jeff Cernele took the
most time off his events, shedding
180.86 seconds during the meet.
But, most of all, club swimmers
eclipsed 31 club records.
Leading the way, in the girls’ 9-10
age group were Meghan Toswell
in the 50-metre freestyle (33.43)
and Carleen Ginter in the 100m
free (1;14.10) each breaking seven-
year-old records posted by Brenna
Wilson.
From there, the most club re-
cords at this meet were broken
by Adam Gomba in the boys’ 13-
14 age group. He broke a total of
eight club standards - the 50m free
(26.66); 100m free (57.74); 200m
free (2:03.21); 400m free (4:22.01);
1500m free (17:42.01); 200m back-
stroke (2:22.87); 100m butterfly
(1:03.74) and finally, 400m individ-
ual medley (4:59.73). All Gomba’s
records were formerly his own, ex-
cept the 400 I.M., which was previ-
ously held by Kevin Walker (5:08.54)
from July 13, 1984.
Following in Gomba’s lead, Ka-
leigh Heard broke the most club
records for the club’s female swim-
mers with seven in the girls’ 13-
14 age group. They were in the
100m free (1:02.34); 200m free
(2:10.42); 400m free (4:41.96); 800m
free (9:46.92); 200m fly (2:31.15);
200m I.M. (2:32.26); and 400m I.M.
(5:18.56).
Other swimmers posting record-
breaking results were:
• Danielle Gomba (girls’ 11-
12) – 50m free (29.24); 100m free
(1:03.28); 100m back (1:10.85); 200m
back (2:29.85); 100m fly (1:07.74);
• Ainsley Corkum (girls’ 11-12)-
800m free (10:08.27);
• Alysha Lynden (girls’ 13-14)
– 100m back (1:14.87); 200 back
(2:37.88);
• Rebecca Acheson (girls’ 13-14)
– 100m fly (1:07.70);
• Jessica Ward (girls’ 15-16)
– 100m free (1:01.68); 400 I.M.
(5:19.84);
• Erin Gordon (girls’ 17-and-over)
– 400m free (4:40.94) (nine-year-old
record previously held by Stephanie
Wilkinson from 1996), (4:45.52);
• Alex Griffith (boys’ 15-16) - 100m
free (57.01); 200m I.M. (2:20.72);
200m free (2:06.32). The 200m free
record tied a nine-year-old record
previously held by Derek Howard
from 1996, (2:06.32).

Allard has stellar
badminton season
while attending
Centennial College
AJAX — For Nathaniel Allard,
this was a badminton season that
couldn’t get any better.
And, then, earlier this month, it
did.
The Ajax resident, who’s turn-
ing 20 today (Sunday), capped off
what can only be described as an
outstanding season on the badmin-
ton court by being named the On-
tario Colleges Athletic Association
(OCAA) male athlete of the year
for 2004-05. Allard, who completed
his first year at Centennial College
in Toronto recently, received the
award at a special evening in Ham-
ilton earlier this month.
“There’s gold and then there’s
platinum and I think I hit the plati-
num of years,” says Allard. “I went
to my first year of college wanting
to make a name for myself. To have
that kind of season was so unbeliev-
able.”
Never once did he believe he’d
be the recipient of such a presti-
gious award for a college athlete.
He believed that a winner would be
picked from a group of more senior
college students.
“I honestly did not believe a first-
year athlete would get it. I thought
it would be a third- or fourth-year
athlete. To be nominated was an
honour, but to win blew my mind. I
couldn’t believe it.”
The award was due to Allard’s
outstanding rookie season on the
Centennial College Colts’ men’s
badminton team. At the provincial
championships, Allard went unde-
feated and captured the gold medal
in the men’s singles competition. At
nationals, Allard had another strong
outing to earn the silver.
For his efforts, he was named
Centennial’s male athlete of the year
and OCAA player of the year. Other
accolades included winning the
OCAA west regional title, claiming
gold in both
invitation-
als he com-
peted in, and
earning the
OCAA Fair
Play Award
as well as
athlete of the
week.
“Com-
mitted, dis-
ciplined,
focused and exceptionally mature
are words that describe Nathaniel,”
remarked Mary Zettel, Centennial
College athletic director, in a press
release. “A great role model for his
teammates who is humble but his
sense of fair play and respect for the
game, opponents and officials is
evident to all who have met or seen
him play. He is simply amazing.”
Centennial’s badminton coach
Tim Liu commented Allard is “dis-
ciplined, focused and extremely
modest for all his accomplish-
ments.”
Allard has won at every level in
badminton, including two provin-
cial high school singles titles while
attending Ajax High School. As a
club player, he won two provincial
junior singles and two doubles titles
while representing the Harwood
Phoenix club.
Allard’s taking the summer off the
badminton court, with the excep-
tion of running and lifting weights.
He’ll be back competing with his
college team in the fall.
He’s studying tool and diemaking
at Centennial.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN
(Never known to fail). Oh, most beautiful
flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine,
splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the
Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me
in my necessity. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of
God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I
humbly beseech you from the bottom of
my heart to secure me in my necessity
(make request). There are none that can
withstand your power. Oh Mary,
conceived without sin, pray for us who
have recourse to thee (3 times). Holy
Mary, I place this cause in your hands, (3
times). Say this prayer for 3 consecutive
days and then you must publish. It will be
granted to you.

CARD OF THANKS
GAIL HOOEY
Au g.6, 1947 - Mar. 27, 2005
The Family of the late Gail Hooey
wishes to express a sincere, heartfelt
thank you to all of our family, friends
and to Gail's co-workers at the Rouge
Valley Health System, especially those
in the Pharmacy at the Ajax-Pickering
site, for their generous support and com-
fort to us during this difficult time.
Thank you to everyone who made
memorial donations to The Hospital for
Sick Children and The Durham Humane
Society and for the cards and flowers.
We wish to extend a special thank
you to all of the nurses and doctors for
the care and support given to Gail and
our family on the 4th floor at Lakeridge
Health Whitby.
Most of all we are thankful to every-
one who has given Gail support, love,
and happiness during her 57 years and
for making those years fulfilling and
bright.
Sincerely,
The Masterson and Hooey Families

Career Change
Jourdain’s switch from
open-wheel racing to
Busch Series isn’t easy
By Monte Dutton
NASCAR This Week
The presence of Mexican driver
Michel Jourdain Jr. in NASCAR’s
Busch Series is proof positive of
just how significant stock-car
racing has become.
Jourdain, 28, competed in a
CART (now Champ Car) race for
the first time when he was 19
years old. He won for the first
time in 2003, when he also
finished third in the series
standings.
Now he is the first Hispanic
driver ever to compete full time in
the Busch Series.
Jourdain’s entire life has been
centered around auto racing. His
uncle, Bernard Jourdain, was co-
rookie of the year in the 1989
Indianapolis 500, and his father
competed in Mexico City CART
races in 1980 and 81. Michel Jr.
began competing in Formula
Junior races at the age of 12.
For all that, Jourdain knows that
the transition from open-wheel
cars and a career that mostly
involved road racing is difficult.
The stock cars are awkward for
road racers to drive. They are
much heavier and less supple.
Driving techniques are vastly
different.
And the races, even the Busch
races, are quite a bit longer.
“Bristol was tiring out there,
turning all of the time, but there
was never a sense of fatigue,”
Jourdain said. “The cars are heavy,
but you have power steering, and
you don’t have the G-forces that I
John Clark/NASCAR This Week
Former Champ Car Series champion Michel Jourdain Jr. had
quite a career as an openwheel racer but is trying his hand at
th e Busch Series this year with limited success.
was used to.
“I’m learning so much about
each track, and so many of these
guys know these tracks in these
types of cars, and they know
how the track conditions are
going to be at the time of the
day when the race is to be run. I
still don’t know yet.”
But Jourdain has nothing but
praise for the reception he has
been given.
“Everybody has been really
cool,” he said. “Everyone has
acted like they want to help me,
and that is really good.
“But sometimes....I think
people are able to help you with
tracks and with little details, but
the car doesn’t feel very good
and you have to work that out
with your guys. You don’t
know exactly where everybody
else is running and their driving
styles, and there are so many
things that they tell you that it’s
hard (to apply) when you’re car
isn’t right. There are many
things you have to work out for
yourself.”
