The initiative, already in place in Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Markham and north Toronto, gets people out of their cars and onto transit and carpools. “It’s anything to get people out of the automobile and into an al- ternative mode of transportation, especially during the peak hours,” said Jeff Brooks, a senior planner with the Durham planning depart- ment and co-chairman of the GTA and Hamilton Smart Commute steering committee. By the fall of this year, a free, Internet-based system will be launched that will offer Durham- ites the ability to log in and find people in their area who drive to a similarly located office. “To some degree, out here, that will be a challenge,” Mr. Brooks said. Because so many residents work outside the region, it could be hard to match them — but it’s still a start. But the big part of Smart Com- mute is working with individual offices, said Ryan Lanyon, deputy executive director of the Smart Commute Association, which is launching the program. “They (employers) get an under- standing of how their employees are getting to work,” he said. “Most employers don’t know if their em- ployees are driving or taking tran- sit.” The information will be com- NEW WHITBY CAMPUS OPEN HOUSE www.blaisdale.com 12 mths - grade 8 5 Campuses in Durham Call Head Office 905-509-5005 Blaisdale MONTESSORI School SPACES AVAILABLE IN AJAX & PICKERING PRE-TODDLER PROGRAM (12 mo.-18 mo.)

Durham Regional Police were called to Ontario Power Gen- eration shortly after noon to investigate what plant officials called an unrecognizable piece of equipment. The equipment was discovered by an employee on the Pickering ‘A’ side of the station, which has no reactors operational at this time. OPG spokeswoman Jacquie McInnes said it was found on the conven- tional, not the nuclear side. It was shortly after 7:30 p.m. that police ruled it was a “false device”. The investigation into how it got there will continue. “Now we have to make a de- termination as to how it came to be there and go through the process of eliminating who may have brought it in and for what reason,” said Sergeant Paul Mc- Curbin, police spokesman. Both the tactical and explo- sive disposal units were sent out as part of “normal precautionary procedures,” he said. Police said there was never any danger to the nuclear site, employees or the public. Pickering Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner, who is serving as acting mayor, said the City received written notification from Ontario Power Generation at 2:30 p.m. Despite the assertion that there was no danger, Coun. Brenner said the City was on stand-by. “We’re operating in a state of readiness as our emergency plan indicates,” he said. “Our senior staff were asked to standby, administration is on standby and transit people are on standby, in case there is a situation that requires evacua- tion.” Coun. Brenner was not pleased with the process, shar- ing that OPG notified the City by leaving a message for Mayor A.J.

Pickering GO Station commuters are going to be greeted with music, free coffee and cookies, and other goodies to thank them for their contribution to a cleaner environment. The day is planned by GO Transit, Ajax-Pickering Transit Authority, the City of Pickering and Ontario Power Generation. June 8 is Clean Air Day, a national campaign to help raise awareness about clean air and climate change issues. There are to be events across the coun- try to encourage people to get out of their cars and walk, bike or ride public transit as the first step in a commitment to a more sustainable lifestyle. The event at the Pickering Station, 1322 Bayly St., runs from 6 to 9 a.m. Clean Air Day is a national partner- ship of government and not-for-profit groups, including the Canadian Urban Transit Association, Environment Canada, Transport Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Federation of Cana- dian Municipalities, Go for Green and Via Rail Canada.

Research has shown carpooling works best when it’s among people from the same office, he added. Bringing that to Durham is still in its infancy, Mr. Brooks said. The Region is in the process of polling residents on their attitudes toward transportation, how they are travelling now and what options they may consider. The next step will be gauging public and private interests. Are there compa- nies, such as General Motors, Ontario Power Generation, chambers of com- merce or hospitals that would be inter- ested in an in-house program? Mr. Brooks hopes so. “There are business partners you re- ally want to get in so you can give them opportunities beneficial to them and the environment,” he said. Organiza- tions will then form a group to bring the concept to Durham. With the launch of region-wide transit in 2006, there’s a lot of focus on transit, Mr. Brooks said. But Smart Commute and the Region’s transportation master plan is all about travel choices: cycling, walking, carpooling and buses.

Steve from PICKERING Hydro One vows to keep lights on in Pickering 1,000 union members poised to strike Monday By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — Hydro One is as- suring customers that the lights will stay on in Durham and across the province in the event of a strike by the utility’s 1,000 energy professionals next week. Engineers, scientists and other members of the Society of Energy Professionals union employed by Hydro One have threatened to walk off the job at 12:01 a.m. June 6, unless an ongoing contract dis- pute is resolved. Hydro One distributes elec- tricity to parts of Pickering, Ajax, Clarington, Scugog and Uxbridge, and supplies electricity to local distributors Whitby Hydro and the Oshawa Power and Utilities Corporation (PUC). As of Friday afternoon, talks had not resumed and union of- ficials said a Monday strike was likely. Saying he was not aware of any planned strike activity in Durham Region, Hydro One spokesman Peter Gregg stressed that local cus- tomers should not be concerned about power interruptions. “We are absolutely confident that we will be able to maintain the integrity of the system if there is a strike,” he stressed. “We’ve already had employees striking at the general grid control centre in Barrie for a couple of days now, and everything has been fine.” Union spokesman Brian Robin- son was quick to disagree, point- ing to what he called a “significant outage” on May 27. He said 2,000 megawatts were lost at the cen- tral control centre, as the result of poor supervision. “This is the kind of thing that can happen any time that our members aren’t on the job,” he ex- plained. “When this recent power outage happened, Hamilton’s water system was knocked out and Toronto’s traffic lights were out. This is something that should be a concern.” More than 3,000 Hydro One em- ployees from other unions would remain on the job in the event of a strike, including system operators and line maintenance workers. Mr. Gregg said that is more than enough people to keep the system up and running. Hydro One’s energy profession- als have been without a contract since the end of March, after vot- ing against an earlier deal that would pay new workers less than existing ones. Volunteers needed for Community Care Durham programs DURHAM — Community Care Durham is looking for people to be local heroes through three different programs in need of volunteers. Community Care’s friendly vis- iting program has 26 people on a waiting list who would like some company. Through just one or two hours per week, volunteers provide comfort to a lonely senior. For more information on the pro- gram, call Sharon Alipanopoulos at 905-837-0017 ext. 227. Individuals are also needed to deliver or pack meals one day a week, for one to two hours. Meals are delivered Monday to Friday between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. in both Ajax and Pickering. There are also opportunities for once-a-month volunteers. For more information, call Nancy Reid at 905-837-0017 ext. 231. In Community Care’s transpor- tation program, volunteers are needed for two or three hours a week to assist seniors to medical appointments or grocery shop- ping. For more information call Diane Browett at 905-837-0017 ext. 227. Volunteers require a police re- cord check, and the cost is fully reimbursed upon completion of three hours of volunteering. Full training is provided.

Big Brothers and Sisters hand out annual awards to humble volunteers By David Stell News Editor DURHAM — Joe Marks stood at the front of the room with tussled hair, look- ing humble and shy at the same time, like he didn’t know what all the fuss was about. He didn’t even go up for his 25-year award from the Big Brothers and Big Sisters right away, but was coaxed for- ward by the man who introduced him. Before he reached the front of the room a standing ovation greeted him. Marc Verner, clearly choked up by the mo- ment, introduced the 25-year Big Broth- er, his own Big Brother years ago, and told everyone gathered for the Ajax and Pickering organization’s annual general meeting about the impact Mr. Marks’ has made on his life. “He makes such a difference, he’s al- ways been there for me,” Mr. Verner said. “I don’t remember him ever cancelling a weekend.” The emotional moment between the two men, with Mr. Verner now a Big Brother himself, was just one of many such moments as volunteers were rec- ognized for their contributions to the or- ganization. He added Mr. Marks taught him how to play many sports and de- scribed him as the nicest guy, a commit- ted person, to his family, the community and his dog. Mr. Marks didn’t even offer a word as he accepted the award. Later he said what he got back from being a Big Broth- er over the years is enough of a reward. “All the Little Brothers I’ve had were just tremendous, they were never trou- ble,” he said. “It’s a good feeling being able to make a difference in their lives.” That’s part of why he’s stayed involved as a Big Brother through the years. Now an in-school mentor, he’s always got- ten back more than he puts into it. He doesn’t have children of his own and explained he has fun and learned about a lot of things from his Little Brothers, such as the Internet from Mr. Verner. “I was really pleased when I heard he’s involved now,” Mr. Marks said. “He was great, he never complained about the bad movies I used to take him to. “I try to keep in touch with all of my Little Brothers still.” He wasn’t alone in looking uncom- fortable with the attention. Ken Booker is this year’s Big Brother of the Year and he wore a big smile but only had a few words to say about the honour. He looked right at home talking to one of his two little brothers, Carley, but was brief when accepting the award. “I get as much out of it as I put into it,” he said. “I just hope they get as much out of it as I do.” Carley, having only recently joined the ranks of the Little Brothers, talked about meeting Mr. Booker for the first time and how much fun he has. As well, his guidance is important. “When I need a father figure, I call him or my mother calls him, to talk to me about what I’m doing wrong,” Carley said. Mr. Booker’s other Little Brother is Rajiev, who couldn’t be there, but his mother had much to say about the im- pact the Big Brother has had on her son: his increased self-confidence over the years and how he’s been there whenever they’ve needed him. Other awards handed out on the night included in-school mentors of the year, with Grace Belmonte and Andrea Reid sharing the honour, nominated by the brother-sister team of Ryan and Taylor Munro, who they spend an hour with each week in school.

But this week, the Claremont resident has taken things up a notch by travelling to Grenada and volunteering his time to rebuild a fire hall destroyed last September by Hurricane Ivan. “It’s a really good opportuni- ty to help out other firefighters and that’s what firefighters like to do, is help people — espe- cially their own,” said the 15- year veteran of the Toronto Fire Department. Mr. Johnston and 14 others from the department left May 30 for a week and are the first crew on the four-week proj- ect. The project may need to be extended to finish the work and Mr. Johnston said he might be interested in volunteering again. An announcement went out in fire halls in Toronto about the project and he said he decided a month ago to volunteer. “Immediately I wanted to help,” he said. “It was a deci- sion we made as a family. (My wife and I) both thought it was a good thing to do.” He couldn’t make the contri- bution without the help of his wife, who will be at home with their two young children. Those interested in volun- teering had to submit a resume with what other skills they had, such as carpentry, plumping, etc. “We built our own house in Claremont,” Mr. Johnston ex- plained as his qualification. The volunteers have a tight schedule to make some prog- ress on the fire hall, which in the pictures Mr. Johnston has seen, experienced “complete devastation.” The fire depart- ment down there has had to work out of army barracks. In five days, the group planned to rebuild the kitchen, dorm room, locker room and roofs of two adjacent buildings. Donated supplies — plywood, drywall, wiring — were to be waiting when the group arrived. The airfare was also donated. Mr. Johnston, who has vol- unteered for Habitat for Hu- manity and done charity work, was looking forward to getting down there. “I can’t wait to get going,” he said.

A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER,JUNE 5, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Province takes aim to make all butt out Slowly but surely, government is forcing smokers to butt out in public. Now that individual regions around Ontario have adopted anti-smoking bylaws, the Province is poised to enact its own leg- islation, which will take precedence over local laws and bring all jurisdictions under the same rules. No longer will Toronto bars be able to offer designated smoking rooms, while proprietors here are forbidden to do so. The exemptions to Durham Region’s current smoking bylaw will also be wiped out. No one will be lighting up in Legion halls or bingo parlours come May 31, 2006, when the provincial ban on designated smoking rooms is expected to become law. But the anti-smoking movement is still generating controversy. Durham nursing homes will still be able to offer smoking rooms if provincial legislation is adopted as currently drafted and the Great Blue Heron Casino on Scugog Island will be exempt. The Ontario law does not apply when a First Nation has ad- opted conflicting regulations with the approval of Indian Affairs Canada, said Brian Daly, lawyer for the Mississaugas of Scugog Island, during a recent public meeting. But that’s not sitting well with 400 casino employees, who’ve signed a petition and question why the casino is accountable under other provincial laws, such as those of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corpo- ration, the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the Labour Relations Act. The casino, like all gambling facilities, should be expected to comply with provincial smoking legislation. The federal and provincial governments need to revisit the issue. But when it comes to the senior citizens living in Durham Region’s 19 long-term care facilities, one must remember these facilities are their homes. Some seniors, many of whom have long-time smoking habits, have nowhere else to smoke and should not be told they can’t light up in their own homes. Employees of those facilities also have rights. In Ontario, employees have the right to refuse unsafe working conditions; anyone wanting to avoid second-hand smoke in the workplace should not be forced to endure it. Ironically, while the provincial government has pledged $50 million this year toward its ‘Smoke-Free Ontario Campaign,’ it’s unlikely Ontario will ever truly become smoke-free. To do that, government would have to shut down the tobacco industry, declare cigarettes illegal, and forfeit a huge taxation revenue. Don’t hold your breath. Stronach poll results a cause to weep To the editor: Re: The News Advertiser Internet poll on Belinda Stronach, June 1. I was distressed to see the results of your poll. Even if the results are skewed by Liberal plants, it is alarming to think that there are people who believe she could be right, even Liberals. She has treated with contempt and disenfranchised her con- stituents who voted for a Conservative MP. If this is right, why even bother to have elections? The Liberals gave her a cabinet post for her vote, to which they have no electoral right to have. In other words, the current government is now illegitimate. If she was so unhappy with her party she should have re- signed her seat, then stood for election as a Liberal in the next election. That way she might have preserved her own integrity and reputation. Oh Canada, we weep for thee. Are these types of actions now OK? If so, then we, the public, are worse than the politicians. A nation that behaves like sheep will surely be governed by a snarling pack of wolves.

G ays and lesbians and those of us who support them can now breathe a (tentative) sigh of relief. Decades of emotion-fraught court, moral and societal battles could have crumbled last month had Stephen Harper’s mostly homophobic Conser- vatives toppled the government. The historic same-sex marriage bill would have died right along with the federal body. Bill C-38 will fall in line with provin- cial court orders across Canada to give all people in love the right to make the walk down the aisle, utter sacred vows and party the night away — legally. Some have compared the same-sex marriage fight to that of women in the 1920s battling to be recognized as people. Tying the knot is part of all cultures, a step along the path of life. A right, if one so chooses. Some people can’t wait to do it and others can’t be bothered. Therein lies the point: if you’re gay, you have no choice. The majority of the Conservatives would like to keep it that way. Mr. Harper has repeatedly said he wants to give same-sex couples the same rights as male-female marriages, but just not the title. What is it about the one word that so threatens the day-to-day life of peo- ple? Will a married Sandra and Jane down the road from you completely shatter your world? None of the de- bates have given a logical answer to this. Luckily, even with a shaky minority government, the second reading re- cently passed 163 to 138. It will now be studied before coming back for final approval. The two successful readings and the squashing of Mr. Harper’s attempts to kill the bill back in April are optimistic signs. We know there is majority support on Parliament Hill, with free votes even allowing members of the Con- servatives and Bloc Quebecois to vote for the legislation and Liberals against the bill. See: choice. Let’s hope Mr. Harper keeps the promise he made recently to allow business to go on if he lost the budget vote. For all people in love.

There is much similarity to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), which as the name suggests has a greater degree of fatigue. The diagnostic criterion for FM is when 11 or more areas are found to be greatly tender to touch. It is unclear how these disorders begin and exactly what is the cause. There are no specific drugs that target the cause of this disease. An area in the brain called the limbic system regulates among other things body rhythms such as sleep/wake cycle and tolerance to stress and pain. When this system does not function properly, the result is the plethora of symptoms found with what is termed FM or CFS. What can help? Nerves that lead to organs and muscles exit the spinal column between each vertebra. When vertebrae are misaligned they can put pressure on these nerves and cause interference to the nervous system: this is called a subluxation. This interference can also lead to imbalance in the central nervous system (the brain) through a process called deafferentation. Chiropractic is effective in reducing and eliminating this interference caused by subluxations, bringing balance to the nervous system (both peripheral and central) of humankind; in fact, Chiropractors are the only doctors trained to find and adjust these subluxations. To find out more about FM and CFS and how Chiropractic can help you to achieve and maintain optimal health, please call 416 724 7574. Dr. Brian R.

The Samji Clinic in Scarborough and Mississauga treat children with a variety of conditions using a brain based treatment approach. Dr. Suhill Samji, has helped hundreds of children over the past eight years with his unique Peak Potential program. Here is what he has to say to parents… “I am sure you are as concerned as I am with drug-based treatments used to deal with ADD, AD/HD, dyslexia, autism and other learning difficulties. The positive aspects of these treatments come at a price. And parents are not always comfortable with the prolonged exposure to drug therapy that their children receive.There is an alternative. The Samji Clinic takes a drug free approach to treating the cause of these conditions. The explanation is that a primary problem relates to the failure to achieve equal activity and resonance in both right and left brain hemispheres. Failure to develop and achieve temporal coherence (balance) between the two hemispheres results in a form of functional independence of each hemisphere. What this means is that we will see high degrees of functioning in specific tasks (associated with the higher functioning brain hemisphere) and low degrees of functioning in other tasks (associated with the lower functioning brain hemisphere). Hemisphere specific treatment is the key to success. Motor activity (balance and coordination training), sensory stimulation, and cognitive functions (specific academic training with a certified special education teacher) directed toward the under-functioning hemisphere is the most important consideration in treatment. Achieving balance of activity between the two hemispheres is critical for allowing all aspects of normal brain function to occur. Using specific brain based therapies in a supervised program, we can help to enhance your child’s ability to process information more rapidly and increase their aptitude for learning. The result is improved motor coordination, academic achievement, and attention and focus.

We got in without any fighting to what looked like a vacated town,” he recalls. “The next moment you couldn’t see the streets for people. They just came out and surrounded us. From nothing, you looked around and there were more Dutch flags and orange streamers hanging from windows than you could imag- ine.” Mr. White still has the orange streamer a young Dutch girl gave him that day, carefully folded along with his other memories of his active duty in the Second Wo rld War. The Oshawa resident recently returned from his third trip back to Holland, this time for the 60th anniversary of its liberation. He and his wife Christine took their two daughters Heather and Holly. “I think it was good for them to get a little insight as to what we, the Canadians did, and how much the Dutch appreciate what we did. Unless you experience it, it’s hard to describe,” says Mr. White. His active service began in Italy, where, as a teenaged trooper, he was brought in as a reinforcement with the Royal Canadian Dragoons in March of 1944. After almost a year of slugging it out in the moun- tains against elite German units, the Dragoons were moved out of Italy to make their way through France, and Belgium. By April 1, 1945, they had reached Holland, where the Ger- man army had begun its retreat. As a reconnaissance force, the Dragoons had the distinction of being the first soldiers in a lot of Dutch towns. In some areas, Ger- man resistance was strong, says Mr. White, who points to the Hol- ten Cemetery in Holland, where 12 of his “buddies” are buried. But the vet says returning to see the appreciation of the Dutch people, even some three and four generations later, has helped him put to rest any questions he could have had about his decision to Returning to the scene of freedom ✦ See White, Page 11 Lesley Bovie/ News Advertiser photo Don White holds a picture of himself as a 19-year-old Canadian soldier and the orange streamer he was given by a Dutch girl when his unit liberated the city of Leeuwarden in 1945.

The Commuter Challenge By Spencer McCormack Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — Long have the tales of the need for skilled-trades work- ers been told. It seems, for some trades, they are now no longer just the stuff of legend. “There are some industries, right now, that are just crying for peo- ple,” said Kevin McLellan, project leader of tradeability.ca, a govern- ment-funded initiative with a goal of meeting the current and future demand for skilled trades people in Durham Region. “If you talk to most companies that do commercial and domestic landscape design and installation, they’ll tell you they’re turning down work because they can’t find skilled people.” Mr. McLellan also offered the ma- rine engine industry and cabinet- making as sectors in need of skilled help. “If a young man or woman wanted to become a cabinetmaker they could probably find a cabinet- maker in the region to hire them,” he said. “But, they wouldn’t be able to become registered apprentices unless they were somehow able to travel to Kitchener or North Bay to complete their training, because there’s no training (for cabinetmak- ers) in Durham Region right now.” Conversely, the construction trades (carpenter, electrician, plumber, etc.) are in good shape with no foreseeable labour shortag- es, particularly unionized construc- tion trades, said Mr. McLellan. “Every kid you talk to wants to be an electrician,” he said. “And the unions do a very good job of as- sessment and training, the unions pretty much control training in the construction trades.” In Ontario there is a ratio of how many apprentices a company can employ based on the amount of journeymen working for that com- pany that sometimes can be a hin- drance to small businesses. “So, you could have a small elec- trical or plumbing contractor who would probably hire more appren- tices if the ratio would allow them to,” said Mr. McLellan. Currently, the Ontario govern- ment is offering a number of in- centives for contractors willing to train apprentices and incentives for youths to seek a career in the trades. For example, there is a $2,000 sign- ing bonus for employers who hire apprentices as well as an Appren- ticeship Training Tax Credit for em- ployers. As well, the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities recently introduced 1,500 $1,000 scholar- ships for students returning to high school in order to pursue a career in the trades. According to Mr. McLel- lan, most employers in the trades don’t know about the opportunities available to them. And, if they do, they don’t know all the details.

Clean Air Day is a call to action: Get active and do your part in improving our communities! Tr ansportation is often an overlooked source of pollution and greenhouse gases – but a reduction in emissions is easily accomplished through individual action. Tr ansportation is the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions and one of the single largest sources of air pollution in Canada, accounting for two-thirds of all smog forming pollutants in some areas. Sustainable transportation actions and strategies are also key elements to help Canada meet its commitments under the Ky oto Protocol. It is a great opportunity to act locally while addressing a global problem. People who travel by public transit create 65 per cent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than if they travel by car. Even if someone opts for transit just two days out of fi ve, their greenhouse gas emissions will be cut by 25 per cent. Walking or cycling are emission-free modes of transportation. Individuals can easily contribute to clean air and our Kyoto reductions merely by switching their commuting habits. Sustainable Transportation Campaign Clean Air Day Walk! Bike! Ride transit! Or try telecommuting or carpooling – there are many ways that you can make a difference on Clean Air Day (the fi rst Wednesday in June). It’s easy to choose an environmentally friendly form of transportation that will help reduce air pollution and climate change. And don’t forget to encourage others to explore their transportation choices on Clean Air Day – together we can make a difference! The Government of Canada proclaimed Clean Air Day in 1999 as part of Canadian Environment Week to increase public awareness about air quality and climate change. CAD is a celebration of environmentally friendly activities that promote clean air and good health. CAD shows Canadians that we can make a difference. On Clean Air Day, make an environmentally friendly decision. Continue all year long to help create cleaner and safer communities for today and tomorrow. Sustainable Transportation Campaign larter ad. #1 4x110 oshawa larter ad. #2 4x110 oshawa By Derek Giberson Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — From living in a second-hand army tent by a dump on the shore of Lake Muskoka to being stationed around the world as a Canadian ambassador, Lieu- tenant-Governor of Ontario James Bartleman has come a long way. It was all the experiences in be- tween that he shared with students and guests at Anderson CVI in Whit- by recently and wrote of in his most recent book, On Six Continents: Life in Canada’s Foreign Service 1966- 2002. It was these experiences that left their mark and helped him shape his priorities for his mandate as lieutenant-governor. He is working to encourage ab- original young people, to fight rac- ism and discrimination, and to re- duce the stigma of mental illness. With an Ojibwa mother and a white father, Lt.-Gov. Bartleman and his siblings were often the sub- jects of racism and discrimination while growing up in Port Carling. He said his Grade 2 teacher had failed him, even though as a child he knew how to read and his class- mates couldn’t. Lt.-Gov. Bartleman’s encounter with mental illness was more re- cent. He told students that he had begun to slide into depression when he left his position as Foreign Policy Adviser to Prime Minister Jean Chretien in 1998 to become the High Commissioner to South Africa. While in South Africa, he was violently assaulted in his home, suffering a broken nose and bruises all over his body. His attacker tied him up and covered his mouth, which nearly killed him. He fell into a deep depression following the attack, but has since recovered and has written and spo- ken about the experience. Now, as lieutenant-governor, he has ceremonial duties but, he told the audience, “I support causes that go beyond government policy.” “I was lucky,” he said in an inter- view. “I was exposed to cultures and conditions around the world that I was able to compare to Canada. Now I can use the weight of my of- fice for good causes.” He suggested that, instead of “liv- ing in a cocoon,” students should become more socially conscious, and he finds merit in Ontario’s mandatory 40 hours of community service for secondary school stu- dents, which often exposes them to the less fortunate. “Whether they help in a soup kitchen, as a Big Brother or Big Sis- ter, or with Scouts, there are lots of good sources for them,” he said. He adds that these opportunities will also have a positive influence on students’ character.

More and more families these days are discovering that camping with an expandable Camper Trailer is one of the best ways to experience Ontario’s world class Provincial Parks and Campgrounds. While many fami- lies have never considered camping with an Expandable Camper Trailer (sometimes referred to as Folding Trailer), many are fi nding that it’s a lot easier and more affordable than they think. Young families with kids There may be no better experi- ence than spending time with your family camping and exploring On- tario! Ontario has vast areas protected by our system of literally hundreds of provincial parks encompassing almost every type of geographical landscape and scenery. When it comes to activities, there’s always lots to see and do. Many parks feature amenities such as swimming pools, playgrounds, mini- golf, or rentals of bikes, boats and movies. In a trailer there’s plenty of room to pack bikes, a soccer ball, fris- bee, roller blades, or favorite games and toys. Busy families When the weekend comes, it’s no problem to just take off to a fa- vourite park or campground. Many families keep all the basic things ready in their Camper Trailer, waiting for them. That way on a Friday after- noon they can just grab a few clothes together, stop at the supermarket on the way, and they are all set for the weekend. Families on a budget With an Expandable Camper Trailer you can travel in high season and not worry about hotel, airfare and restaurant costs adding up… and you’re always sure of great accommo- dations. Brand new Camper Trailers can be purchased for about the price of a couple of family vacations, and can be fi nanced for as little as $120/ month or less. Reward yourself and your fam- ily this year, take a vacation every weekend! Families who love to travel and explore in Ontario – and save money, should experience the freedom and enjoyment of camping with a Folding Trailer from Holiday World. If you want to learn more about camping with a Folding Trailer in Ontario’s magnifi cent outdoors, drop by Holiday World (Hwy 115/35 Bow- manville …browsers always wel- come!) or check out the great links on our website (www.holidayworld.ca) to learn just how easy it is to get going!

Notre Dame, St. Mary bow out of provincials AJAX — Ajax Pony Club mem- bers rode off with solid results Sunday at the first Central On- tario Region Qualifier at Dream- crest Equestrian Centre, near Port Perry. Hosted by the Uxbridge-Scugog Pony Club, the qualifier was the first of three to be held in order to select the Central Ontario Show Jumping team to compete at the Central Canadian Zone Show Jumping Championships in Au- gust. The Ajax club had riders in the pre-entry class, which don’t qual- ify for the Central Canadian show jumping championships. In pre-entry division ‘A1,’ Ajax’s Lindsay Tucker finished second in class 1 while riding Sock It To Me. Jessica Clarke, riding Van Gogh, took honours in the medal class in pre-entry division ‘A2’, followed by Sarah McDonnell in second place, aboard Pumpkin Pie. Angie Moorecroft won Class 2 aboard Cadbury. Moorecroft was also named the reserve champion for Class 2. In pre-entry division ‘B’, Kait- lin Devoe placed third in class 1 aboard Dakota. In class 2, Jenni- fer Shumilak finished second on Morgana and another Ajax rider, Kristie Abe, was third on Natasha. Ajax Pony Club members ride to winning results Ajax, Pickering soccer teams lose crucial pool-play games Friday morning DURHAM — Championship dreams for two area high school soccer teams stalled with pool-play losses on Friday morning at the provincial championships. Ajax’s Notre Dame Catholic Sec- ondary School Cougars senior girls’ soccer team needed a win, but it wasn’t to be at the Ontario Federa- tion of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) ‘AAAA’ soccer champion- ships in Hamilton. Facing the St. Anne High School Saints of Tecumseh, with the win- ner moving on to the OFSAA quar- ter-finals later on Friday, the Cou- gars dropped a 2-0 decision. Both Notre Dame and St. Anne entered Friday’s game with identi- cal 1-1 records, with the Cougars defeating eighth-seeded Loyola Catholic Secondary School War- riors of Mississauga 3-0 in Game 1, before dropping a 2-0 decision to the second-seeded Catholic Cen- tral High School Crusaders of Lon- don. Meanwhile, the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs boys’ soccer team also exited the OFSAA ‘AAAA’ event, played in Mississau- ga, after compiling a 1-2 record. The Monarchs finished pool play shy of a quarter-final berth on Fri- day morning after losing 3-2 to sec- ond-seeded St. Augustine Falcons of Brampton in Game 3. Luke Sted- mond and Brenton Beadle scored. St. Mary finished tied with A.B. Lucas Secondary School Vikings of London with a 1-2 record after pool play, but the Vikings received the nod to move into the quarter-finals, based upon beating St. Mary 4-1 in Game 2. The Monarchs — seeded eighth in the 16-team tournament — start- ed play Thursday with a 2-0 victory over 15th-seeded St. Michael’s Col- lege Kerry Blues of Toronto. Beadle and Chris Deabreu scored. Adrian Field scored against A.B. Lucas. Other St. Mary team members are Chris Bahadur, Shane Boyd, Josip Bosnjak, Matt Dinnuno, John Jonke, Phillip Liscio, Curtis Park- er.

Attack Black entered the pres- tigious event as the No. 1 seed. Matched against the Libellules, Quebec 1 in the final, Attack Black was eager to prove they were the best team in Eastern Canada. They crushed the Libel- lules in the first set 25-6, but they knew the Quebecers wouldn’t go down easily. In a close second match, the Attack Black girls trailed 19-16 when coach Evan Williams called his first timeout of the tournament. The team re- bounded to win the set and cap- ture the eastern national title. Jordyn Moloney was named the tournament’s most valuable player. To get to the championship match, Attack Black downed its sister team, the Red Hawks, 25-7, 25-11. In their quarter-final match against Quebec 3, the Cyclones, the Attack Black girls won hand- ily, 25-11, 25-7. Attack Black compiled a 4-0 mark during the first day of pool play without dropping a set and by putting up 200 points for and allowing only 66. On Day 2 of pool play, At- tack Black met stiffer tests from Quebec 1, Quebec 2 and New Brunswick 1. Attack Black dis- patched New Brunswick 1 fairly easily to set up a match against the Quebec Libellules. The At- tack girls came out flying on the way to 25-14, 25-19 win. The At- tack girls then beat Les Volitives 25-15, 25-17. The Eastern national cham- pionship victory continued the Attack Black’s unbeaten streak in all provincial and national com- petitions to 39-0. Meanwhile, the Red Hawks were nearly flawless in their per- formance, losing only a single match during the entire tourna- ment. The Hawks’ bronze-medal medal hopes hinged on a match against Forest City from London, a perennial Ontario powerhouse and fourth-place finisher at this year’s provincials. The bronze was earned with final scores of 25-19, 18-25, 15-8. Durham downed the Extreme from Richibuctou, New Bruns- wick in the quarter-finals 25-21, 25-4. In pool play on Day 1, the Hawks went 3-0 improving with each match and defeating the Nova Scotia provincial champion, Sackville Sonics, 25-11, 25-19. Day 2 proved to be another suc- cessful one for the Hawks, placing first in their pool and going into the playoffs in the top eight. Red Hawks’ Rebecca Glancy and Black’s Ali Goc and Alysha Johnson were selected to the girls’ all-star team. Other Black members are Laura Thompson, Tayler Mitch- ell, Melanie Jonhston, Dani Vor- tisch, Ashley Mulholland, Ursula To aze, and Erin Spraggs. Evan Williams coaches the team, as- sisted by Julie and Tom Clark. Other Red Hawks are Ali Loynachan, Andrea Titus, Lau- ren Skelly, Emma Hunt, Kellie Downing, Brynn Thistle, Taylor Cumming, Erin Campbell, and Devyn Koczan.

In Memoriam ANN DAVIDSON June 6, 2004 We little knew that morning, God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God you called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again. Sadly missed by all SAVERS, Benjamin John August 25, 1922 - June 2, 2005 Peacefully at home in Ajax with his family gathered around him. Loving husband and compan- ion to his wife Jean for 62 years.

Predeceased by his siblings Bill Jr., Charlie, Mary Hayes and Edith Cole. Ben has been a member of the R.C. Legion Branch 322, Ajax for 60 years after serving in the Army during W.W.II.
