Each test costs $37 per site, Ms. Svelnis said, but there is also staff time to take the sample, plus the drive to the lab in Pickering, and engineering costs to upgrade systems. The increased and sometimes un- necessary testing led to the closing of small centres across Ontario, including the Siloam community hall just out- side Uxbridge to the west, Ms. Svelnis said. It’s not known whether the hall Glengrove getting new roof this summer By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — Durham’s public school board approved $12.4 million in urgent or high-priority repairs to local schools at an in-camera meeting Monday night. It’s the first expenditure of the Dur- ham District School Board’s Good Places to Learn, Stage 1 grant, esti- mated at up to $34 million per year. The biggest beneficiary is Anderson CVI in Whitby, where some of the $2.1 million to be spent there is already being used to replace the roof. O’Neill CVI In Oshawa, Uxbridge Secondary School and Port Perry High School are in line for partial roof replacements. At the elementary level, Village Union Public School in Oshawa is receiv- ing roof work, while Glengrove Public School in Pickering is getting a new roof and Ajax’s Lincoln Avenue Public School will see brick repairs and a drainage problem addressed. “(The government) has been listen- ing to school boards,” Jack Massie, the board’s facilities services superinten- dent, said in an interview of pleas for more money. “I’ve been part of a com- mittee for three or four years saying what has to happen.” Mr. Massie often pulled no punches in criticizing the previous government for not providing the board with enough cash to maintain its aging schools. He generally has had $4 million or less for maintenance and repairs every year, a paltry sum when replacing a roof at a high school can cost more than $1.5 IT’LL ONLY HURT A BIT — BUT IT’LL HELP A LOT A.J.

No one was injured, but her effort made for an appetizing dish. Taking part in the Skills Competition Canada, the Pine Ridge Secondary School stu- dent earned a gold medal for baking at the regional level, gold at the provin- cials and a spot representing Ontario at the national level.

Page A3 Developer dealt legal road block Court rules De Gasperis premature in attempt to build on land By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Woodbridge devel- oper Silvio De Gasperis lost his first legal challenge in his attempt to devel- op land in Pickering’s Duffins-Rouge Agricultural Preserve. A three-judge panel of the Ontario Superior Court ruled May 19 that it is “premature” for Mr. De Gasperis to force the Province to consider build- ing in the preserve while a provincial consultant is preparing a development plan for the area. “You will have an opportunity to seek a modification when the plan is approved,” said Justice James Carn- wath in the panel’s brief oral decision. Mr. De Gasperis wants to develop about 600 hectares of land he owns in the preserve. He attended the hearing. “We are a little surprised but I un- derstand where they are coming from,” he said of the panel’s decision. Mr. De Gasperis filed the applica- tion in November. It asked for an order prohibiting the minister of municipal affairs from submitting the develop- ment plan being prepared for north Pickering under the Ontario Planning and Development Act until the plan is able to be conducted “without limita- tion and with the participation of the public.” The terms of reference for the plan designate the preserve as agricul- tural and countryside. Mr. De Gasperis said he has not been able to give any input on that development plan.

However Peter Tumey, president of District 13 of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation, says the new measures do not include with- drawing from extracurricular activities or lunch-hour supervision. “We’re striking the 0.25 portion of our assigned duties, which are the administratively-assigned duties,” he said, noting it would mean different things depending on the high school. “The bottom line is kids won’t notice. We’re hoping administration notices.” On average, educators teach 6.67 out of eight classes every two days. However the definition of high school teaching time was broadened four years ago, and 0.25 is made up of su- pervisory duties and on calls. The Durham District School Board and teacher representatives met May 16. Mr. Tumey says talks lasted just half a day and “there was very mini- mal movement by the board” which, he said, appeared more interested in getting back to talks with elementary teachers. On top of that, Mr. Tumey said no more bargaining dates have been scheduled. Sally McIlveen, the board’s employ- ee services superintendent, pointed out that the board has spent 15 days with each union in bargaining. As for the May 16 session, she said the board presented a verbal offer that OSSTF rejected and that the union ended talks. “They were not satisfied with that and said they’ll call us or wait for us to call them,” said Ms. McIlveen, adding she was disappointed. She added the union would not wait for the board to submit the formal, written package, which she delivered later in the day. Ms. McIlveen said both elementary and high school teachers have been offered a pay increase of 10.64 per cent over four years, “the same package as in York Region” and slightly better than the provincial framework agreed upon by the government and provin- cial teacher unions. She said talks with Durham’s ETFO members are progressing, and Dur- ham ETFO president Rachel Gencey agreed. However Ms. Gencey said the provincial framework “is still a con- tentious issue” and that there are still a number of items to settle. The two sides have scheduled bargaining ses- sions for May 24 and 25. Durham’s high school teachers in- troduced administrative sanctions, such as not covering for an absent col- league, on May 9. At the same time the union pink-listed the board, an advi- sory to colleagues outside of Durham not to apply for jobs here. New sanctions from teachers Regional police lay 11 drunk-driving charges By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — Another holiday weekend, another barrage of reports of crazy driving on the province’s roadways. There were plenty of speeders and more than a few impaired drivers out there, and probably the wackiest example of freeway foolishness oc- curred on Hwy. 401 at the Oshawa- Whitby border, when a cop pulled over a milk truck, apparently being driven by a young child. The inci- dent was widely reported over the weekend, along with a number of examples of people driving much too fast on crowded roads. But while police in Durham Region were certainly busy patrolling high- ways during the Victoria Day long weekend, the good news is there were no serious accidents, accord- ing to Whitby OPP Constable Jeff Edwards. “O ver the four days, we only en- countered 17 traffic accident inci- dents,” Const. Edwards said. Of those mishaps, only one — a three-car pile-up on the 401 — in- volved reportable injuries, Const. Edwards said. Two people sustained minor injuries in that accident. OPP and Durham Regional Police were out in force for the first long w eekend of the summer season, traditionally a time when motorists throw caution to the wind as they speed to and from the cottage. And it was speeding that was the most common infraction, Const. Ed- wards said. “Officers issued 365 tickets,” he said. “Of those, 220 were for speed- ing.” Throughout the GTA, OPP laid charges against 1,300 drivers over the weekend. Motorists in Durham also received tickets for infractions such as care- less driving, having liquor in vehicles and failing to wear seatbelts, Const. Edwards said. But remarkably, OPP officers busted no drunk drivers dur- ing the weekend. “A positive thing is there were no breath tests of any kind conducted over the weekend,” he said. “You do anticipate some drunks out there.” Durham police did find a few im- paired drivers. As part of Operation Cottage Bound, Durham cops set up RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Ev- erywhere) stops over a five-day pe- riod from Thursday to Monday, stop- ping 8,000 vehicles and charging 11 motorists with drinking and driving. Two of those drivers registered more than three times the legal blood-al- cohol limit, police said. Officers administered 120 roadside breath tests and also issued 24 li- cence suspensions to drivers who had been drinking. Durham cops were also nabbing speeders; one was stopped for driv- ing 55 km over the posted speed limit, while another blew by a fully marked police vehicle, doing more than 40 km over the limit. Meanwhile, an Oshawa cyclist was sent to hospital in Toronto with seri- ous injuries after being struck on King Street east of Stevenson Road by a car being driven by a Blackstock woman at around 9:30 Friday night, police said. The 25-year-old bike rider was list- ed in critical condition. Const. Edwards said long week- ends attract more drivers to the ar- ea’s major highways. Inexperience and inattentiveness are issues when thousands of holiday-bound drivers hit the pavement, he said. Bad lane changes, slow-moving ve- hicles and boorish behaviour often result. Things will keep flowing smoothly if people drive defensively, keep their tempers in check and give one an- other a break, Const. Edwards said. “You’re going to have people who are unfamiliar with the highway,” he said. “You’ve got to make allowances for that.” Busy long weekend, but few major mishaps on Durham roads Hill wants a more ‘democratic’ process DURHAM — Ajax Trustee Lisa Hill is aiming to make the committee selection process a fairer one for trustees. At the May 16 Durham District School Board, her notice of motion called for committee mem- bers to be se- lected “as soon as possible after the December inaugu- ral meeting.” The final list of trustee com- mittee members would be an in- camera agenda item at the follow- ing standing com- mittee meeting in January. In essence, the board chairper- son would no longer have sole authority for finalizing the committee roster if trust- ees approve Trustee Hill’s motion. “I’d like to make this a more demo- cratic process,” she said. “In the past, I think certain trustees have been passed over or they haven’t been recognized for a committee they desperately wanted to sit on.” Fellow Ajax Trustee Marilyn Crawford sarcastically said she would support the motion “if trustees who put their names forward on committees actually come to the meetings.” Tr ustees will form an ad hoc commit- tee this fall to look at the committee idea. Public high school class sizes on the rise in Durham DURHAM — The average size of public high school classes in Durham con- tinues to creep higher. In a report to trustees at the May 16 board meeting, Mark Joel, the Durham District School board’s operations su- perintendent, states the average class is made up of 21.94 students, up from 21.88 a year ago, 21.68 in 2003 and 21.05 in 2002. Cartwright High School in Scugog and Oshawa Central Collegiate have the lowest average classes, 17.2 and 18, re- spectively. At the other end of the spectrum, the highest average is at O’Neill Collegiate in Oshawa (24) and Whitby’s Sinclair Sec- ondary School (23.2). In 2001, a provincial regulation permitted school boards to have an average of up to 22 students per classroom to free up time for teachers to be involved in extracurricular activities. Ajax t rustee calls for more say in choosing committees Lisa Hill Education in brief MAY 25, 2005 Upgraded guidelines guarantees a facility will remain open By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — Being listed as a school in line for upgrades under the Education Ministry’s Good Places To Learn grant has an added benefit. According to the Province’s crite- ria, projects can only be undertaken at schools that boards intend to keep open for at least 10 years. That means if a school is on the list, even if just $5,000 in work is planned, it will stay open for a decade or longer. The scenario applies to College Hill Pub- lic School in Os- hawa, where floor covering replace- ment is to take place in a portion of the facility. The Durham District School Board announced its first list of projects May 16, $12.4 million in work, with much of it to occur over the summer. The upgrades, including roof repairs and lighting replacements, are planned at 13 high schools and 17 el- ementary facilities. “If we go ahead and fix and spend the money as the ministry has identified, that means we will not close that school for at least 10 years,” board chairman Mi- chael Barrett confirmed in an interview. He said when trustees approved the list in-camera, board members had no opportunity to lobby for projects in their communities, as the prioritized list is a provincial one for each school board, with urgent projects coming first. Asked about the reverse scenario, a school that doesn’t appear on a list, Trustee Barrett said there are schools that aren’t on any list and “we are seek- ing clarification of what that means.” Facilities services superintendent Jack Massie was a bit more hesitant in speak- ing of the 10-year rule. “That’s the rules that are out there,” he said. “Whether that’s going to be the long-term rule or not, 10 years is a long time.” In addition to the $12.4 million in new projects, the board included $1.2 million in work completed in 2003 and 2004 under the Good Places to Learn Grant. Mr. Massie did not know if those schools, also, had to remain open for a decade under the criteria. While there is a lot of overlap in terms of the two lists, six el- ementary schools and one high school, Dr. F. J. Donevan Collegiate Institute, have seen work in the last two years that was carried over to be covered under the grant. “I would challenge that,” said Mr. Massie of the seven schools being in- cluded, noting the work was done before the rules were announced. In any case, he says school closings won’t be as easy as in the past, given requirements from the Province in addi- tion to the criterion associated with the capital projects. Mr. Massie said a closure will now almost have to be generated by school communities, referring to the example of Kathleen Rowe and R. A. Hutchison public schools in Whitby. Sir William Stephenson Public School replaced them, and while parents disputed which site should have the new school, they did agree with the consolidation of the two into one.

His problem then was creating a short list of what had to be fixed first, and over the years many leaky roofs and other problems had to be patched as opposed to repaired. Now Mr. Massie and his staff have what he describes as “a good prob- lem:” dealing with the sheer volume of projects approved Monday and more to come forward in about three months. He explains the project list will require constant updating as not every job will come in at the budgeted amount. When a roof or lighting up- grade goes over budget, that will be money not available for the second list of projects trustees are to receive at the Aug. 29 board meeting. “It’s when we get into the second part of the stage 1 grant that I’m going to have to be very careful to what I commit to publicly,” Mr. Massie said. He says much of the work will be completed over the summer, but that some projects will take the rest of the calendar year. The board will borrow the money to pay for the work, with the Province covering the payments. The govern- ment is providing the board with $2.5 million per year for high-priority up- grades. It says that will fund $34 million in urgent repairs every year, but that’s assuming an interest rate of under six per cent. “We don’t quite think we’ll get that $34 million, but somewhere in the $30- million range,” Mr. Massie said. Stage 2 of the Good Places to Learn Grant, $280 million per year province- wide, is yet to be announced. It is to be used for major renovations, to replace old schools with new ones, and to make room for more pupil spaces to support new government programs. ✦ Board from page A1 Board deals with ‘good problem’ Listed schools have time Michael Barrett Community news online at durhamregion.com Wayne Arthurs, MPP Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge Reserved for Wayne Arthurs would like to invite you to a Appreciation BBQ thMay 29 , 2005 West Shore Community Centre 1011 Bayly Street Just west of Liverpool Road Wayne Arthurs, MPP Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge would like to invite you to a Appreciation BBQ thMay 29 , 2005 12:00 noon to 3:00 pm West Shore Community Centre 1011 Bayly Street Just west of Liverpool Road Come out for an afternoon of fun...

The plan is to be released in the next month or so, at which time, Mr. De Gasperis said he would continue his challenge. “We’ll be back in court again,” he said. “Then we’ll have something that the judges can make a decision on.” At the end of February the City of Pickering removed the agricultural easements from Mr. De Gasperis’s land and some other property in the preserve, potentially clearing the way for development. The preserve was included in the Province’s Golden Horseshoe Greenbelt, which prohibits development. — with files from Torstar News Service could be reopened. “Because of the cost... it’s making municipalities have to rethink whether they can justify the expense,” she said. “The focal point within the hamlet is sometimes the community hall. It’s difficult when you have to start looking at closing them.” After an outcry from small commu- nities, the Province held public meet- ings and decided to amend the safe- drinking-water regulation. Now, local public health units will be responsible for testing, which will have to be done much less frequently, said Ken Gorman, manager, environ- mental health for the Region. Current- ly, health departments only respond to adverse testing results. Mr. Gorman said the changes would have a significant impact on Durham, as there are an estimated 300 to 500 small centres across the region that would become their responsibility. That includes restaurants on private water, seasonal camp grounds and trailer parks. That means new water inspectors will have to be hired; the Province has said it will make investments to help with this. “I think moving these smaller sys- tems in to public health is probably a good idea,” he said, adding the Region already deals with some, such as res- taurants. Residents may also find it easier to deal with their local health department than the Province. For now, the changes are just pro- posed and still have to go through the public process, a release from the Ministry of the Environment said. Until everything is said and done, Ms. Svelnis said testing and new treatment systems will go ahead as usual. The amendments should come into effect by the fall of 2006, Mr. Gor- man said. There are still questions sur- rounding who will pay, what the costs will be and staffing, he said. There has also been some talk of a user fee sys- tem. “The Ministry may want to con- sider some start-up funding,” he said. “There’s still a lot of things to be put in place.” The changes can be viewed at www. ene.gov.on.ca/envision/env_reg/er/ documents/2005/RA05E0004a.pdf and commented on until May 29. nents such as presentation and orga- nization. “It’s good because at the end they tell you everything you did wrong and you really learn from them.” She began taking classes at school and that is where she learned how to cook. Her teacher and now coach, Alfred Tan, was the one who encouraged her to enter and will be flying along to Ed- monton for the nationals on June 3 to 6. She won bronze in the competition last year. The future for this Grade 12 student also seems tasty as she has received a baking scholarship to George Brown. “This competition has helped me because it has made me realize this is what I want to do in the future and it has given me practice doing so,” she said.

The fair is May 24 to 27 at both the Ajax-Pickering and Centenary sites. It features displays and presentations by more than 25 community organiza- tions, including the Canadian Paraple- gic Association, Canadian Guide Dogs, Courtyard Chiropractic Centre, CNIB To ronto, Canadian Hearing Society and the Head Injury Association of Dur- ham. The fair is in Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering’s east lobby. It also includes demonstrations featuring guide and therapy dogs, a wheelchair and vision- impaired simulation glasses. Rouge Valley has made 2005 the year for disability awareness and as part of that, is working to have barriers re- moved and physical changes made. Communications are also being shared with staff to facilitate changes in atti- tude regarding disabilities. As well, improvements are underway at both hospital sites to increase acces- sibility, including the renovation of two washrooms each year. Rouge Valley raises awareness Differences between father and son are astounding Sometimes I can’t help but think that I was ad- opted. I love my dad enormously and we’re very good friends, but I wonder if we share any of the same DNA. My father is closing in on 80, but he is still a bull of a man. He’s barrel-chested, has hands like vices and forearms that Popeye would envy. He has wrists thicker than my ankles... even his head is big. He has enormous presence. Not once, even at the height of adolescent insanity, has it ever remotely crossed my mind that I might be able to “take” the old man. I was a strong kid, but he would’ve folded me up like a beer can. He still could. My dad wears power like aftershave. I wear some fruity smelling concoc- tion with two “u’s” and an umlaut. While we are both vora- cious readers, my dad’s books all have titles like Guts on the Beach, Holster full of Death and Armageddon in Heels. My night table is covered with such page-turners as Scratch your inner itch, Weed the hate from your garden of love and It’s OK to run away. When my dad had had a hard day, he would come home, have a slug of Scotch, then disappear down into his ‘Shop’ where he could saw things, cuss and look at naked women in calendars. When I come home after a hard day of acting (and yes, I know what an oxymoron is) I have a glass of milk and cookies, then do some yoga... and think of naked women in calendars. If I’m really ticked about something, I meditate. My dad never meditated... he simmered to a rolling boil. As kids, if we ever saw the old man sitting in a chair with his eyes closed and breathing deeply we got the hell out of the house; that meant he was going to blow soon. On the weekends my dad was never happier than when he had a pry bar, shovel or a wheelbar- row in his hands. He could make a patio stone so level you’d be afraid to walk on it. He could put an edge on a flowerbed that’d cut your fin- gers. My idea of yard work is lying on the grass with the kids and making shapes out of the clouds. I talk to plants and trees. I can get all weepy if I stand in front of a rose- bush for too long. It’s no won- der that my dad is so fond of my wife. They’re cut from the same cloth, those two. Suzanne will sit in the gar- den with me for about five minutes before she has to get up and “fix” something. That’s one of the reasons I don’t think I should ever buy a house with a “shop.” She’d be down there all the time, saw- ing and cussing and staring at naked men in calendars. When I think about how different we are, I am struck by how much patience my fa- ther must’ve had with me as a child. Not to mention trust. Love, after all, is sticking your hands under a patio stone when the kid who’s holding it up is making shapes out of the clouds overhead. Neil Crone, actor-comic- writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

Under that definition, Ontario’s landfill situation could already be considered a “crisis.” The crucial stage to plan for future garbage disposal is now. The turning point is here. Ontario landfills wouldn’t last two days if the U.S. border was to close, according to Rob Cook, executive director of the Ontario Waste Management Association. Mr. Cook recently reminded re- gional officials that when the border closed for a mere 11 hours two years ago this month due to mad cow disease, every Ontario waste transfer station was full. The image of garbage bags, piled in To ronto parks and tennis courts and stinking in the summer sun during a garbage strike in 2002, is not a pleasant thought and not an experience that any community would relish. Ontario statistics are somewhat shameful. We are, according to the association, the only province shipping more than one-third of its trash to another jurisdiction. Two-thirds of our waste is gener- ated by the industrial, institutional and commercial sectors, which are not recycling because it’s more expensive than landfill. Of the 3.5 million tonnes of waste shipped to Michigan last year, 200,000 tonnes of trash came from Durham Region. And although homeowners here have been diligently recycling, composting and (in some communities) streaming their kitchen food waste for mu- nicipal pickup, more needs to be done. The Region is looking for an in-Durham solution, which includes incineration and energy from waste. A quick surf of the net reveals numerous waste-management companies exploring new tech- nologies for cleaner, more efficient landfills with less impact on the environment. But always, there must be landfills, unless we intend some day to ship our trash to outer space. More dumps are exactly what’s needed, according to the associa- tion. There isn’t one community in Durham that would welcome a new dump in the neighbourhood. But the trash has to go some- where, and streamlined technologies that reduce environmental harm must be looked at. The association is calling for less red tape in getting landfills approved, and holding companies more ac- countable for the waste they generate. And that would be a good starting point. Why should homeown- ers be held accountable for the three Rs by municipalities, while businesses are governed under less stringent provincial regula- tions? The issue of waste management has been grappled with for a long time and isn’t going to go away. But we just can’t sit back and cross our fingers and hope the day the U.S. landfills aren’t open to us never comes.

A/P PAGE A6 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆MAY 25, 2005 Dad wears power like it’s aftershave Save pit bulls before ban goes too far To the editor: I am disgusted with the pit bull ban. It is awful to do this to dogs, our protectors and best friends. It’s stereotyping dogs. It’s because of the actions of a few breeders that people judge them all. Some pit bulls, in- bred and probably neglected, have attacked humans. So why not ban every dog? Every dog has the potential to bite, even my small dog could tear me apart if she wanted to. But she isn’t neglected and she’s loved by us. I know a dog that lives out- side and gets no attention. On the way to school I pet and stroke her. She lives by the school and kids sometimes bother her and feed her bad stuff, but she is still sweet. What I’m getting at is pit bulls used to be called nanny dogs. Then some sick idiotic human thought in-breeding was a good idea. Well not all pit bulls were “infected” with the inbred bad temper. Maybe the ones that are should be always on a leash and the owner should know the con- sequences of having it. Many other dogs attack, trained or not. I was inspired to write this when I saw a picture, a girl my age had a sign saying “Keep your paws off my dog”. It got me thinking. What if all dogs were banned? What if pit bulls, who used to be called nanny dogs, are put away for good? They would disappear off the face of the earth. Don’t lose an- other breed forever. Jessica Needham, Ajax Decision not in everyone’s favour To the editor: Re: ‘Opinion ‘emphatically’ in City’s favour’. The Region’s solicitor may have advised the Region it has no legal recourse as a sign- ing authority on the original agreement to uphold the ease- ments on the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve, but, many don’t agree Pickering’s actions were legal or should be condoned. The motion will come forward again at a May 25 regional council meeting. Previously, councillors stated they didn’t know they were supporting development on the preserve, so folks, it’s not over. Ontario Nature hired es- teemed environmental law- yer David Estrin to formu- late a legal opinion on the issue, which, as stated on its website; “calls into question the sanctity of conservation easements that many Ontario residents have placed on their own properties to protect their lands for the long term”. Es- trin’s opinion is damning for Pickering. Environmental De- fence agrees and the Ontario Realty Corporation states in a letter to the City, “Ontario is currently considering its legal options”. Can Pickering, as a public conservation body, with an agreement signed by several parties to hold the land in perpetuity, unilaterally and legally sell the lands to private interests for their own finan- cial gain? That’s why it has to go to court. Then everyone will know, without a doubt, what their legal obligations are to the easements. Along with Ontario Nature, Environmental Defence and David Estrin’s legal opinion, The Rouge Duffins Greens- pace Coalition members, asso- ciated groups and citizens, feel that as representatives of the public, Pickering has betrayed the public trust, legally, moral- ly and ethically. We encourage those who support conserva- tion to lobby for court action from the Province, otherwise, how can the public be satisfied our interests in land conserva- tion are being defended and protected?

With a staff of six, the Durham Emergency Man- agement Office (DEMO) has the task of implementing a comprehensive emergency management program that includes plans, exercises, training and public educa- tion to ensure the safety of local residents. “We’re a small office at the Regional level and our job is to coordinate effec- tive response to any di- saster that might happen within the Region,” said Ivan Ciuciura, director of emergency management. “It’s an organized process for preparing for, and then responding to, any event.” And those events could be anything from the 2003 blackout to the recent ex- plosion at a plastics plant in Cobourg, he said. “If you did a study of risk in the Region, the three top ones would be some form of weather-related emer- gency, then a hazardous material emergency and then the third one is some form of mass casualty,” Mr. Ciuciura said. “If police, fire or EMS have a situation where they need additional support, our office gets a call and then we round up the regional departments or other communities’ volunteer groups, or assis- tance from the Province.” He said the emergency management program begin with a solid plan of action taking into account all the various emergency response units in the Re- gion. Proper training exer- cises and programs are also critical, he said, as well as public education. “Before a plan gets made, you need to have all the groups and participants that have a role to play sit down and make sure everyone’s clear on what they should do,” Mr. Ciuci- ura said. “Part of it is also public awareness, so we do promote that and try to get the word out that govern- ments have a role to play in emergency, but really in a large scale emergency, it starts with individuals have to be prepared.” Since 1995, DEMO’s functions have grown to include: conducting and maintaining a hazard analysis for critical infra- structure and vital facilities within Durham Region, co- ordinating the off-site re- sponse for nuclear-related emergencies at Pickering and Darlington Nuclear Generating Stations and assisting area municipali- ties in an advisory capacity relating to localized emer- gencies, unless requested to take the lead role. “If there’s weaknesses or something that needs to be done, we’re an organiza- tion that then follows up. If something needs to be done, and there’s three or- ganization involved, a lot of times it just drops between the cracks again.

Day of activity raises awareness for greenbelt By Jason Chamberlain Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — Go for a bike ride, take in some natu- ral scenery, and enjoy a bar- becue. Visitors have a chance to do all of that and more at the Pickering Green Festi- val, on Sunday, June 12 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. starting at Herongate Barn Theatre (2885 Altona Road). The event, hosted in partnership by Herongate and the Rouge Duffins Greenspace Coali- tion, aims to raise awareness and appreciation for the greenbelt areas of northern Pickering. “We’re excited about try- ing to preserve the land in the greenbelt area,” said Steve Graham, organizing committee chairman. “Some people are unaware of the beautiful land we have up here. We’re trying to build support in the local com- munities for the green areas that are important to us all.” The festival features fun events for the entire fam- ily, including bicycle tours of the surrounding lands, an art show featuring paintings of the greenbelt by local art- ists, as well as children’s en- tertainer Jim Parker. For par- ents and older visitors musi- cal entertainment comes in the form of bands such as Silverbird and Gypsy Grass. Mr. Graham is passionate about educating people on the value of the surrounding greenbelt, which includes the Seaton lands, the Duf- fins Rouge Agricultural Pre- serve and the federal airport lands. “We want to save the pre- cious agricultural land. It’s the best food-producing piece of land left in Canada. It’s really beautiful.” For information on the festival visit www.rougeduf- fins.ca/greenfestival.

The Ajax Skating Club mem- ber has only been training with the club for a year. Ajax school carries off five of nine team titles at Durham Region track and field championships AJAX — A large contingent of Pick- ering High School Trojans are march- ing off to the central regionals today (Wednesday) after a dominating per- formance at the Durham Region track and field championships in Oshawa last week. In fact, 33 Pickering High athletes will make the trek to Toronto’s York Univer- sity today for the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) central regional track and field cham- pionships after a strong showing at the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athlet- ics (LOSSA) championships.

Tr ojans athletes tops on the track Reeling Rock trumped again by Arthur Aces Chee Canskater of the year for central region AJAX — Robert Chee has always fancied himself as a figure skater. Now, the Ajax youngster has laid claim to a prestigious award after only one year in the sport. The eight-year-old from the Ajax Skating Club was honoured as the Central Ontario Section’s Canskater of the year recently. The award winner is gleaned from more than 107 clubs in the central region, which encompasses more than 28,000 skaters. The Grade 3 French immersion stu- dent says, in a press release, from the first time his blades touched the ice, he knew that he wanted to be a fig- ure skater. Since that time, he’s risen through the ranks quickly and will move to the Ajax club’s junior session next season. He notes dance has played a large role in helping him become a better figure skater. He trains in jazz, tap and ballet. Robert’s name is now put forward to represent Central Ontario Section for Skate Canada’s national Canskater of the year award. He is the second Ajax Skating Club athlete who’s won the illustrious award. Edbert Khong was also a Canskater of the year award winner for Central Ontario and was also named national award winner. Young Ajax skater ices prestigious award Despite additions of Veltman, Crosbie, Ajax-Pickering senior Bs drop second one-goal lacrosse game By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — After three consecu- tive losses, the Ajax-Pickering Rock is desperate for a victory on the road against the Ennismore Shamrocks to- night (Wednesday). “These are desperate times right now,” says Paul St. John, the senior ‘B’ lacrosse team’s gen- eral manager and head coach. “Everyone makes the playoffs, but seeding and position are impor- tant. We want to finish in the top four.” The Rock, of late, have been sinking like a prover- bial stone, dropping their third in a row and the second of back-to-back games to the Arthur Aces at the Pick- ering Recreation Complex on Saturday night. The team’s record sits at 1-4-1. Ajax-Pickering welcomed two new faces to the lineup, in the form of sea- soned pros Toronto Rock captain Jim Veltman and Buffalo Bandits’ Jason Crosbie. But, the same result ensued. Despite Crosbie and Veltman put- ting five-point efforts apiece on the scoresheet, the Rock dropped an 11-10 decision. Without them, Ajax-Picker- ing fell by a similar one-goal margin, 10-9, in Arthur on May 14. Tied with Arthur 10-10, the Rock was beaten for the game-winner with a mere 30 seconds on the clock. All this has St. John shaking his head. Untimely penalties and, above all, a subpar third period conspired to sink the Rock yet again. “It was a disappointing way to lose,” he says. “I told them (in the second- period intermission) we needed to get a good jump early and get a couple of goals to put the clamps down, But, we came out flat.” Moreover, St. John observed many of the team’s younger players deferring to Crosbie and Veltman to carry the load. “I think our players tended to watch a bit too much,” he says. “Some of the younger players seemed to not want to get in their (Veltman and Cros- bie) way. They will be our leaders, but they’re not able to do it all. They can’t. We need 18 guys playing, not just two. The guys were excited to be playing with them. Maybe they were too excited and that’s what hurt us in the end.” Penalties hurt the Rock’s chances, with the Aces going 4-for-7 on the power play. Meanwhile, the Rock struck for three goals on four opportunities. “A lot of our veterans don’t grasp the fact that they have to take a hit and not retaliate. We retaliated and the result was some untimely penalties,” he says. St. John believes it’s only a matter of time before the influ- ence of Veltman and Crosbie stems the losing slide. “Those guys are great lacrosse play- ers. Jim’s a born leader, he’s always been a leader. Jason’s a sniper who does everything well. We scored three pro goals on Saturday night. He brings the offence that we need.” Crosbie added two assists, while Veltman had a pair of goals to go with three assists. Mark Craig also recorded a hat trick and an assist. Other goals went to Ed Fines and Cody Laforme. Assists were registered by Brad Cann and Jay Preece, each with two, Aaron Binstock and Pat Vanhooser. PEBBLES: The Rock’s lone win of the season came at the expense of Ennismore. Rookie Dan Ackerman is not expected to suit up for tonight’s game as he suffered a shoulder injury against the Aces on Saturday...

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT durhamregion.com F emale version of ‘The Odd Couple’ puts a twist on the classic comedy Felix and Oscar become Florence and Olive By Christy Chase Staff Editor DURHAM — Years ago, Heather Ses- sions and Linda Chapman had small parts in an Oshawa production of Neil Simon’s female version of ‘The Odd Couple’. To day, they are playing the leads in the same play at Class Act Dinner The- atre. Sessions is Olive Madison, the rath- er untidy roommate, while Chapman plays Florence Unger, the obsessively neat one. “They played Renee and Vera, the smallest parts in the play, back then,” said director Rocky Varcoe. “They even remember the lines.” The play, which opened May 5, is a rewrite by Simon of his original The Odd Couple, written about two men, one sloppy named Oscar, the other neat named Felix, who share an apartment. Simon rewrote the play for actors Sally Struthers and Rita Moreno and has had actors lining up to play it since, Varcoe said. “It is so much funnier than the origi- nal,” he said. “It is just so witty. A lot with the men, it’s stereotypical of them. With the women, they’re out of their ele- ment.” Set in the 1980s in New York City, The Odd Couple female version tells of Olive and Florence. When the play opens, the apartment is a mess, with shoes in the china cabinet, Varcoe said. By intermis- sion, there’s been a dramatic change, he added. “They get on each other’s nerves,” he said of the main characters. “They really are the ultimate dysfunctional room- mates.” Meanwhile, Olive invites the girls over to play Trivial Pursuit. Then there are the hilarious Constanzuela brothers who live upstairs. For Chapman, this is her fourth ap- pearance at Class Act. Her most recent plays are ‘Don’t Dress for Dinner’, ‘The Amorous Ambassador’ and ‘The Sun- shine Boys’. Sessions, is making her sec- ond appearance at Class Act and has played on stages throughout the area. Nancy Gleed plays Sylvie, one of the friends and is a Class Act regular, having just finished as the lead role in There’s A Burglar in My Bed. Denise Del Greco who plays Vera, played the lead in The Affections of May earlier in the season. The other friends are played by Alexan- dra Savage-Ferr as Mickey, who’s also played Class Act before, and Jennifer Hoskin as Renee, new to the stage. The Constanzuela brothers are played by Lincoln Trudeau as Manolo and Sean O’Mara, as Jesus. Trudeau most recently played in Durham Shoestring Perform- ers’ ‘Stop Kiss’. O’Mara, a recent gradu- ate of Trent University, is new to Class Act but has done considerable improv comedy. “These two guys are just over the top,” Varcoe said of the two. “We haven’t made it through a rehearsal without laughing at them. Even the women who are back stage are laughing.” The play continues through June 18. For more information call Class Act, 104 Consumers Dr., at 905-668-2229 or go to www.class-act.ca. Nancy Gleed, right, is Sylvie in ‘The Odd Couple’, the female version of the Neil Simon play, now on at Class Act theatre. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo A door as a canvas AJAX – Gary Faulkner created a work of art out of a door for the unique art exhibit ‘Off The Hinges’, which opens today at Ajax Town Hall in The Atrium. Faulkner is one of about 25 artists who created artistic doors for the display, which is a joint effort of the Ajax 50th Anniversary event and Pickering Artsfest, where the display will be moved to next. Faulkner, a singer first and foremost, said it was the first time he’s created something like this. Auditions are on the way for Borelian’s version of ‘Dracula’ Playwright takes legend of famous vampire and gives it a comedic twist DURHAM — The Borelians are counting on plenty of actors to turn out for auditions for ‘Dracula: Nightmare of the Dead’. Bram Stoker’s well-known Victorian classic has been adapted for the stage by Canadian playwright Allan Stratton, who creates a female vampire-hunting Van Helsing and takes a comic look at Victorian mores. Using props and staging, actors as- sume multiple roles and take the au- diences from a Transylvanian castle to an insane asylum to a crypt to the finest homes in London. The Borelians’ production will be presented in late October, just in time for Halloween, and will be director by THEA award winner Ruth Smith. There are a number of adult roles for men and women of all ages. Those interested are asked to pre- pare a short monologue of about two minutes. Auditions will be by appoint- ment only. Contact the Borelians at 905 985-4914 or send an e-mail to info@borelians.org to book a time or obtain a script. Auditions will be held June 2 at 7 p.m. and June 5 at 1:30 p.m. at Town Hall 1873, Queen and Simcoe streets.
