Smitherman networks in Durham New group w ill help plan, manage health care locally By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer DURHAM — A new body is being set up to plan and eventually fund health care in Durham Region. Ontario Health Minister George Smitherman was in Ajax yester- day to announce the Central East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), which includes all of Dur- ham Region, Kawartha Lakes, the Haliburton Highlands, Northum- berland County, Peterborough County and some of east Toronto. Both sites of the Rouge Valley Health System, Ajax and Centenary in Scarborough are in the Central East LHIN. A LHIN is designed to plan, inte- grate and fund local health services within a specific area. The services include hospitals, community care access centres, home care, long- term care, mental and community health centres, as well as addiction and community support services. Mr. Smitherman noted the LHIN will “manage health care in the best possible way.” The Health Ministry has a bud- get of $33 billion and “you can’t manage it from head office. “We put the power in the hands of local people. They understand the priorities better than we ever could.” LHINS, he added, would “put Former Durham student concerned with possible timeline for case By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — Marc Hall won the first skirmish, but the war is over. Three years after it began, the for- mer Monsignor John Pereyma Cath- olic Secondary School student’s legal challenge against Durham’s Catholic school board is over. Ontario Supe- rior Court Justice Bryan Shaughnessy on Monday granted Mr. Hall permis- sion to end his legal proceedings. “We are obviously disappointed that the case did not go on to trial,” said Mary Ann Martin, chairwom- an of the Durham Catholic District School Board. “It’s always been our stand that it’s our democratic right under the constitution to practice according to the teachings of the Catholic church.” The board used that argument in May 2002 in denying Mr. Hall per- mission to attend the school prom with his then boyfriend, saying it was inconsistent with Catholic teachings for a same-sex couple to attend the prom. Mr. Hall countered that he was being discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation, a vio- lation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. He sought and won an injunction and attended the prom with his boyfriend. However that portion of the case merely dealt with Mr. Hall. He said he wanted every Catholic student to have the same ability, in addi- tion to a declaration that the board and his principal violated his rights under both the charter and the Edu- cation Act. The board through its attorney filed a statement of defence and the case was to have gone to trial, with live witnesses, pitting the board’s rights under Canada’s consti- tution against an individual’s charter Pickering partying all Canada Day long PICKERING — The City of Pickering is marking Canada Day with a celebra- tion six months in the making. Staff has been planning for the an- nual event at Kinsmen Park since January; it gets underway at noon Friday with entertainment, activities and food. (Kinsmen Park is on Sandy Beach Road). The children’s area features activi- ties until 4:30 p.m., with pony rides, face panting and more. Children’s en- tertainer Lenny Graf takes to the stage, as well as the Backwoods Players the- atre group, which performs a Wolf’s Tale. But with the event attracting 15,000 people a year, the day isn’t just about the little ones. “We have something for everybody — something for small children right up to seniors,” said Jody Morris, of the City of Pickering, adding all activities are free. Under the tent, the South Picker- ing Seniors Club is hosting the annual bingo in the afternoon. As well, the Pickering Recreation Complex booth is giving away free seven-day member- ships to those 18 years old and older. In the teen area there is the extreme obstacle course, inflatable basketball, foosball and PS2 challenge. The family stage features the Picker- ing Community Concert Band, Kick Up a Fuss Cloggers and the Brian Rose Little Big Band during the afternoon. The evening main stage features per- formances by the Durham Dance Cen- tre, Straight Shooter, and the County Jamboree, among others. At 5 p.m. the mayor and members of council take to the field against the Pickering Softball executive in the an- ✦ See Pickering, Page A2 ✦ See Network, Page A5 ✦ See Former, Page A2 Says Hydro One union actions have hurt stations By Jennifer Stone Staff Writer DURHAM — Ontario Power Genera- tion has filed a statement of claim for $50 million in damages against a striking Hydro One union, along with a motion limiting picketing at all OPG facilities, including Darlington and Pickering nu- clear generating stations. The move comes amid measures by OPG to ask some essential staff to sleep overnight at area plants, some at triple regular pay, to ensure they were on hand to keep the plant running, in the event of picketing, as occurred last Thursday. That’s when hundreds of Darlington em- ployees were unable to enter the plant in time for their scheduled shift, and many others were required to put in overtime to ensure the plant kept running. Last week’s picketing resulted in a number of road closures and traffic tie- ups in the area of Darlington. According to the claim, filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, OPG argued that it has “lost the value of the services of employees and contractors who were delayed or denied access to its facilities.” The claim also asks for repayment for overtime wages that had to be paid, along with van, bus, helicopter and boat rentals used in an effort to get essen- tial staff to work. OPG is also seeking compensation for the value of electricity output lost as a result of picketing. OPG has lost “tens of thousands of megawatt hours of production” as a result of various pickets outside OPG- owned power plants across the province, said spokeswoman Jacquie McInnes. Not only that, but the striking has caused “hardship on many of our workers and their families, between those staying in the plant, sleeping there, not going home to their families, plus those who were sitting outside their plants in their cars” as the picketers allowed, in some cases, only one car every 15 minutes through the gates, said Ms. McInnes. “It is really difficult to accept this, given they’re not even striking against us,” said Ms. McInnes. About 1,000 Hydro One workers, in- cluding engineers and technicians, with the Society of Energy Professionals, have been on strike since early June, protest- ing a contract offer that includes wage OPG delivers multimillion-dollar claim ✦ See Electricity, Page A4 rights. After being delayed last year, the trial was to have taken place this fall. Andrew Pinto, of the firm Eberts Symes Street Pinto and Jull, Mr. Hall’s lawyer, said the Uni- versity of Waterloo student is almost 21 years old now and wants to focus on his university studies. Mr. Pinto said after shouldering the burden of continuing the case for other same-sex couples, he and Marc reached the hard decision that it didn’t make sense for him to continue to be involved. “As this process wore on, it became clear to Marc that like same-sex marriage, it could liter- ally be several years before not only the legal process but the political process... came to a close,” he said. Trustee Martin says the board believes the original injunction decision was “wrong,” not- ing that Justice Shaughnessy stated a trial judge might have decided in the board’s favour. But Mr. Pinto said he believes that with more con- sideration “a judge looking at the same situa- tion would come to the same conclusion.” The case attracted nation-wide media atten- tion and some high-profile support for Mr. Hall. Then opposition leader Dalton McGuinty, a Catholic, wrote the board a letter, urging trust- ees to allow the couple to go to prom together. George Smitherman, before he became Ontar- io’s health minister, acted as Mr. Hall’s litigation guardian. He appeared before trustees, saying the board was abusing its constitutional rights and that “my (gay) community is mobilizing for a battle that has serious implications for the Catholic community.” P PAGE A2 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆JUNE 29, 2005 Canada Day Sale!

According to the Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM), there have already been numerous inci- dents in the province this year related to the misuse of fire- works. Over the Victoria Day long weekend, one fire, believed to have been caused by fireworks, destroyed two homes and three cars. The OFM and local fire ser- vices recommend that residents attend fireworks displays orga- nized by responsible organiza- tions, such as municipalities. “Fireworks are extremely dangerous and should be left to fireworks professionals who are trained to handle and discharge them safely,” said Ontario Fire Marshal Bernard Moyle. “The misuse of fireworks by children and young adults is shocking. Children are holding them in their hands and firing them at others with no regard for the po- tential risk of personal injury and fire.” In Pickering, Rex Heath, a fire prevention officer with the City, recommends residents head down to Kinsmen Park to watch the fireworks display. “We think the fireworks dis- plays should be a thing people enjoy but they should go to the ones that are professionally con- ducted,” he said. If residents do want to plan their own pyrotechnic display, the fire department has some tips. “Make sure you have a pail of water or a garden hose nearby and supervise children closely,” Mr. Heath said. A City bylaw prohibits fire- works from being set off in any City park. Other tips from the OFM in- clude carefully reading and following the directions on fireworks packaging, never re- lighting duds and never giving sparklers to young children, designating a responsible adult to light fireworks, making sure that only one is lit at a time, and never holding a lit firework. Store owners and retailers are also reminded that the Ontario Fire Code prohibits the sale of fireworks to anyone under 18.

But ban only in effect for east part of the region By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM — Let the grass go dry and your flowers wilt: the Region has imposed a total ban on all outdoor, non- essential water use in Oshawa, Whitby, Brooklin and Cour- tice. That means residents and businesses are not to water the lawn or garden or wash cars, said Thom Sloley, plant operations manger with the regional works department. “We don’t want to be alarm- ist,” he said. “But we don’t want to get into the position where we run out.” Running out of water in Durham’s reservoirs could be dangerous in emergency situ- ations where fire trucks are needed, he said. If the reser- voirs continue to drop, as they have been over the past few days, the Region may have to cut back the supply — result- ing in lower water pressure in homes. “If this week remains hot and humid with no rain, ev- eryone starts looking at their grass and they want to water it,” Mr. Sloley said. “But your grass will come back as soon as it starts raining again, just like it does in the winter when the snow melts and it’s all brown.” The hot temperatures also affect wells in north Durham, he added. While soaring tempera- tures have played a big part in the ban, giant globs of algae played havoc in Whitby last Friday, forcing the town’s plant to shut down for more than five hours. In a story reminiscent of the Creature from the Black Lagoon, huge mats of algae blocked debris screens in and outside of the plant, Mr. Sloley said. The plant could not produce any water. What water the plant did have was being used to try and clear the blockage. Water from the Oshawa plant was used, but levels in Whitby’s reservoirs “dropped like a stone,” he said. It’s the first time anything like this has happened, Mr. Sloley said. A similar piece was seen in Bowmanville, but it cleared out right away. “The really tough thing is that it is so unpredictable,” Mr. Sloley said. “In two minutes we could get another glob and it could shut the plant down.” Concern the algae could at- tack other lakeshore plants is another reason for the ban, he added. The rest of Durham is asked to continue outdoor watering every other day. P PAGE A3 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆JUNE 29, 2005 401 West to Kingston Rd.

Fireworks — Safety Tips •To minimize the risk of fire and burn injury, the fire service recommends that everyone attend public fireworks displays organized and moni- tored by fireworks experts (for example, displays organized by a local municipality) •Backyard or family fireworks displays are not recom- mended. •If you choose to have a backyard or family fireworks display, the following safety tips should be followed: •purchase your fireworks from a reliable source. • always read and follow the label directions exactly. • adults must supervise the lighting and han- dling of fireworks at all times. • always keep water handy (a garden hose or bucket of water). • discharge fireworks away from combustible materials, including buildings and trees. • keep children a safe distance away when fireworks are discharged. • light only one firework at a time. • never re-light a ‘dud’ firework (wait 15 to 20 minutes, then soak it in a bucket of water). • never give fireworks, including sparklers, to small children. While sparklers are often considered harmless fun, they can burn twice as hot as a typical kitchen oven (they can burn at 650 C or 1,200 F), can ignite clothing, and cause eye damage and burns. • dispose of fireworks properly by soaking them in water and then dis- posing of them in a metal garbage can. • if someone gets burned, run cool water over the wound for three to five minutes. — information courtesy Ontario Fire Marshal’s office Ta ke care in Pickering or l eave f ireworks to the pros this weekend Celebrating One Year Steve & Peggy’s 1725 Kingston Rd. • Just East of Brock Rd.

SEE TO DAY’S COUPON! .com.com NEWS ADVERTISER There’s lots more news online at durhamregion.com and benefit decreases for new workers, and increased work hours. Since Hydro One workers often work at or service equipment at OPG’s plants, they have been picketing at OPG’s sites. The statement is expected to be heard in Toronto early next week. Meanwhile, OPG has also been grant- ed an injunction to limit picketing out- side its Nanticoke plant in Haldimand County, where last Friday, six of eight generators were shut down when work- ers were unable to get into the plant due to pickets. However, the limits under the injunc- tion are “slight,” said Brian Robinson of the union, who indicated society mem- bers have only been told not to “picket in any unlawful manner.” OPG has also filed a claim asking the picketing be restricted across the Prov- ince. That claim could be heard as early as next Tuesday, July 5. When contacted, Mr. Robinson said he was unaware of the OPG statement of claim and was unable to comment by press time. The move also comes as the Indepen- dent Electricity System Operator asks consumers to reduce power usage, espe- cially during peak hours. Monday, On- tario power users broke the all-time de- mand record, and usage was supposed to hit a new record Tuesday, said Lisa Pearson, of the IESO, which manages Ontario bulk electricity system and op- erates the wholesale electricity market. The heat wave was largely responsible for the heavier-than-usual loads, said Ms. Pearson. “We’re counting on everybody to do their part” in terms of conserving en- ergy, said Ms. Pearson.

It will certainly evolve over time.” The Central East LHIN is one of 14 being set up across the province. Mr. Smitherman announced Foster Loucks of Haliburton will be the Central East board chair- man, while Marilyn Emery is the chief executive officer. Both have extensive backgrounds in the health field. Helping to establish the LHIN “gives us a unique opportunity to make critical changes to the health system. We’ll be changing the way to manage health care. There will be better access (to care) and it will be closer to the local level,” Mr. Loucks stated. “As the minister says, it just doesn’t make any sense to micromanage the system anymore. It makes more sense for us to do the planning” and eventually make funding decisions, he added. “There’s too little planning and co-ordination between providers.” A person suffering from severe depression and without access to a family doctor or mental health centre would end up at an emergency depart- ment, Mr. Loucks said. “There’s no other place to go. With services, they will get the right care,” Mr. Loucks stated. LHINS will help “resolve wait times, with fewer delays and disruptions,” he said. Ms. Emery noted, “We have to get it right for the people of the Central East region and all of Ontario. The status quo isn’t good enough any- more.” The planning and priorities for this area will be done locally, she added. The LHIN will set up offices in Ajax, although Ms. Emery said a location hasn’t been selected yet. By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer DURHAM — No building permits, no money. Unless three developers get building permits from the City of Pickering within 16 months, the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital won’t be receiving a donation of $7.5 million. Joe Lebovic says if his company doesn’t re- ceive permits, “they don’t get the money. We won’t give the money.” Last week the hospital foundation announced it had surpassed its fundraising goal by $7 mil- lion, raising $20.7 million. But, the $7.5 million pledged by the developers is also included in the total. Mr. Lebovic, Fred DeGasperis and Mattamy Homes are the three builders to receive property in the north Pickering Seaton Lands in exchange for giving the Province land they owned on the Oak Ridges Moraine. (That exchange is still subject to the completion of an environmental assessment.) They approached the hospital at the begin- ning of May with the offer. Mr. Lebovic says there’s time for Pickering to process the applications, adding, “The time schedule says they could do it. The dates are based on engineering reports.” Dave Bourne, a spokesman for the hospital foundation, said last week the foundation has received the pledge and for the purposes of the fundraising campaign, having the pledge is “as good as it’s in the bank.” Lloyd Cherniak, executive vice-president with Lebovic Enterprises, says the developers will withdraw the pledge if they don’t receive the permits. “We hope that possibility wouldn’t happen. We had engineers do an estimate on the time it will take. Hopefully, it will work out accordingly,” Mr. Cherniak states. Mr. Cherniak says the developers have “an ar- rangement with the hospital. We’ve given them a security for the amount pledged. They’ll get payment as we get permits.” “It’s worked out well with the hospital,” he adds. “It will be paid out as the building permits are achieved. Our original agreement was we get ap- provals in 18 months and I don’t personally see that as a difficult thing to achieve.” Mr. Cherniak says there would be a “substan- tial number” of houses. By giving the hospital a security for the pledge, the hospital can tell the government they have the money, Mr. Cherniak says. Housing in the Seaton area is in the Region’s Official Plan, he adds. “It was given in good faith and it’s the same thing we’ve done in other places. It’s been given a negative spin, unfortunately. The hospital is very excited,” Mr. Cherniak says.

EDITORIAL P PAGE A6 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆JUNE 29, 2005 N ext to physical inti- macy, reading has to be my favourite thing. If I could just find a way to combine the two without hurting my wife’s feelings, I’d be on top of the world. I read whenever I can. I never leave the house with- out a book or two stowed in my satchel or a paperback in my back pocket, and still I never have enough time to read all the books I want to. My bedside table must have a half-dozen books piled on it, all in various stages of in- gestion. I think it’s important, not only to read a lot, but to read widely. We all know people who will only read “litera- ture.” These are terribly dreary individuals who refuse to even consider a book unless someone has hanged him- self in it somewhere or one or more children have died in a fire or car crash or per- haps both. To them, a book is not worth reading unless they feel absolutely wretch- ed upon finishing it. These people were either spanked too much or not enough as children. I’ll read anything I can get my mitts on. From Dr. Seuss to Dr. Zhivago. Sometimes the cheesy stuff is the best of all. When I was laid out with cancer, I discovered pulp fiction. I would immerse myself in plots so shallow you’d scrape your knees on the first page. Books where every chapter ended with a guy hanging from a cliff or a nubile heroine surrounded by drooling maniacs, or a maniac surrounded by nu- bile heroines. I didn’t care. Those books got me through some pretty rough after- noons. They took me away. I have friends of mine who used to pass long car trips by reading Louis L’Amour nov- els out loud to each other. I’ve tried it. I dare anyone to read a Louis L’Amour west- ern out loud and not be in stitches by the end of a chap- ter. “Buck reached a muscled arm to take the ladle of cool well water offered by Rebec- ca. As the blazing sun beat hard upon the mesas, her bosom heaved.” You ha ve to love that. As far as I’m concerned, if you can get heaving bosoms and a gunfight into the same paragraph, you’re a genius. Finally, I don’t know whether it was due to im- proper toilet training or some festering anxiety disor- der, but for the longest time, if I started a book, I had to finish it. No matter how bad the book, how much I hated it, I felt I had to read it all the way to the end. I would lie in bed, book in hand, complaining to my wife, “Man this stinks. I can’t believe how bad this is.” I would do this over and over again, sighing and shak- ing my head, completely ru- ining her reading experience, until finally, bosom heaving, she would take the book and fling it out of my hands. I’m better now. I have a rule. I give a book 50 pages to hook me. If I’m still strug- gling at that point, out she goes. Although, occasionally I’ll hang on to a bad one, just to get my wife’s bosom heav- ing. A guy’s gotta have some fun. Actor-comic-writer Neil Crone saves some of his best lines for his columns. Little changes make big changes over time To the editor: Re: ‘With uncertainty over, let’s hope same-sex marriage bill can pass,’ Carly Foster col- umn, June 5. I noticed quite a few letters responding to Carly Foster’s view on hoping that the same- sex marriage bill will pass. Ms. Foster asks whether a married Sandra and Jane down the road from you would “completely shatter your world?” No, it would not, but that’s not the point is it? If a gay couple wants to live down the street from me, fine, but what is wrong is that they would want to be legally ac- knowledged. Marriage should remain a union between a man and woman. This is not discrimi- natory against gays. A lot of unions are illegal: brother can’t marry sister, mom can’t marry son, dad can’t marry daughter, etc. So what makes it so hard to understand that banning a same-sex couple from legally marrying is not discrimination? And why is it that, if a per- son is against same-sex mar- riage, they are labelled homo- phobic, bigots, gay-bashers? And, why is it that same-sex supporters seem to be la- belled as great moral and so- cial leaders? Ms. Foster should remem- ber that the past has shown in many ways that ignoring the so-called changes in “day-to- day life” just “down the road” could completely shatter a world. It’s the little things that make big changes over time. Mary Tallon Oshawa False assumptions made on gay lifestyle To the editor: Re: Just Me: Being gay in Durham, June 24. Underlying your full-page coverage of gay members of Durham society, with its typi- cal liberal take on tolerance, are false assumptions. First, when an assumption of discrimination is deemed the equivalent of discrimina- tion, our society is heading down a dangerous path. Just because individuals, school boards and clergy do not approve of the gay lifestyle and understandably, do not promote it — indeed, even support political candidates who share their convictions — does not mean that they are discriminating against gay people and encouraging in- tolerance and hatred. Toler- ance does not mean approval and active promotion of the gay lifestyle. It does mean the right of every citizen and parent in a free democratic society to decide for himself/herself what is natural or normal and whether or not he wants his children to participate in sex education classes that en- dorse and promote lifestyles contrary to his religious con- victions. Second, there is the false assumption that homosexu- ality cannot be changed and that homosexual unions con- tribute to the betterment of society for the majority. This is unproven. Third, there is the danger- ous assumption that children will thrive in homes where there is either no biological dad or biological mom — and where the basic right and need for either is denied. The evidence from liberal divorce laws, adoptions and the cre- ation of children with donor sperm suggests otherwise. Children eventually reach a stage where biological con- nections matter and are ac- tively sought out. Rayburne F.

A fond and sad farewell Joanne Partington, popularly known as Mrs. P., is a petite teacher with a very big heart who just completed 10 years with St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School in Pickering and is now moving on. Carmen Martanda sent us this photo of Mrs. P. who she says has a special connection with teenagers and her students. A spiritually sound teacher, she uses inspirational talks to instill great values in her stu- dents. On many occasions Mrs P. has shared her lunch with kids who have none and even sent flowers to some parents along with a get- well card. She motivates her students academically or in whichever field they are interested in, and tells them how to go about achieving their dreams or goals in life. This ordinary teacher who travels one hour to get to school, goes to extraordinary lengths to take the time to listen to her students. She will advise them, joke with them and not dismiss them as soon as her day is done. Many past students visit her regularly to tell her about their achievements or their troubles.

Cast your vote online at infodurhamregion.com Last Week’s Question: Should Durham municipalities put a question on the next municipal election ballot asking voters if they want to vote for the regional chair- man? Yes or no? Votes cast: 395 Yes 93.4% No 6.6% Steps to conserve water must start from the top D riving around Durham Monday, you’d never know there was a ban on water use in a number of the region’s communities. Driveways were being washed down, lawns were being watered, including at least one Town of Whitby park, and kids were happily playing at a number of municipal water areas. Shutting taps off certainly didn’t appear to a big priority. Yet that’s exactly what the Region began calling for last Friday evening when it imposed the ban in Whitby, Oshawa and Courtice on water for pool maintenance, car washing and lawn and garden care, among other uses. The Region has since added Brooklin to the list and is also asking that the northern communities conserve given the extreme temperatures of late. The main reason for the ban stems from large quantities of algae that got into the Whitby Water Supply Plant, literally plugging up the system’s filters and screens enough so that it couldn’t produce the normal supply of water for its targeted area. The natural result was that the Region was left in a dangerous situation, at a peak time for water usage and not able to provide to full capacity. The very real pos- sibility existed that without the ban, some residents could open their taps and be met with silence. In relation to the issue, a case could be made that the Region didn’t do a good enough job in getting the message on the ban out to the public. It only issued a media release late Friday, and as of Monday morning, no information had been posted on its website. So, cer- tainly many residents in the affected areas wouldn’t have had a clue about the cease-and-desist order. But, potential water shortage or not, conserving water during the summer season is as important as monitoring electricity use during peak hours at critical times throughout the year. Without restraint, we put great strain on our regional water system and push the comfort level on supply. The ban may apply to a couple of our communities now, but has repercussions for all of Durham. And, that message has to be delivered from the top, with mu- nicipalities setting the tone that a ban means no watering under any circumstances. Watering lawns and continuing to run splash parks are extreme uses when every drop counts. It also rings hollow to then turn around and expect residents to fall in line. Durham residents can monitor their use now or be prepared to lose their water altogether. There really is no choice. Everyone must respect ban, monitor use P PAGE A7 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆JUNE 29, 2005 ATTEND PUBLIC MEETINGS AT CITY HALL All meetings are open to the public.

An Equal Opportunity Employer Fireworks Safety The safest way to enjoy fireworks while celebrating Canada Day is to attend the public display at Kinsmen Park. Family fireworks should only be used in clear areas away from other structures and dry vegetation. Pickering Fire Services offers the following family fireworks safety tips: • Purchase your fireworks from a reliable source. • Always read and follow the label directions. •Fireworks should only be handled by responsible adults – never allow children to handle or light them. •Use outdoors only. Choose an open area for the display that is free of trees, power lines, buildings, cars or any other obstruc- tions. • Always have water handy (a garden hose or bucket). • Never experiment or make your own fireworks. •Store them away from children. Many serious accidents, some involving property loss and fatalities, have occurred when unsupervised children have found stored fireworks and lit them. All fireworks, including sparklers, should be kept in a cool, dry, secure location to which young children do not have access; both before and after the display. •Designate one adult to be in charge.

Page B2 Sports briefs JUNE 29, 2005 [ Soccer ] Durham Storm lose fifth straight DURHAM — Another game, an- other loss for the Durham Storm. The Storm suffered a 2-1 setback on the road Friday at the hands of last season’s Canada Open Cup champion To r onto Croatia. Early on, it looked as though the Storm was going to put an end to its los- ing streak by pouncing on the defending champions with several scoring chances before Craig Patton, one of the Storm’s prized offseason acquisitions, rippled the twine for the first time this season at the 15-minute mark of the first half, lifting a shot over Croatia goalkeeper George Azcurra. The visitors carried that slim one goal lead into the second half, but things fell apart soon after. Peter Curic evened the score with a goal at the 57-minute mark, and Caswain Mason hammered the nail in the Storm coffin when he fired the game winning goal past goalkeeper Craig Williams. Now 0-5-1 this Canadian Profes- sional Soccer League season, the Storm is off until July 10, a road game against St. Catharines Wolves. In their previous meeting, the season opener, the teams played to a 0-0 draw. The next home action for the Storm will be July 15 the Vaughan Shooters, striker Fitzroy Powell’s former team, are at Civic Stadium for a 9 p.m. start.

Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Leap, look and land PICKERING — James Turnbull from Sir John A. Macdonald Public School shows he’s a high flier while competing in the long jump at the recent Durham Elementary Athletic Association Challenge Track and Field Meet at the Oshawa Civic field. From a college walk-on to a spot on the Ottawa Renegades roster, Ajacian has made the most of his football opportunities By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — Being a latecomer to foot- ball hasn’t hampered Ajax’s Adrian Baird in the least. The six-foot, five-inch, 245-pound defensive end with the Canadian Football League’s Ottawa Renegades was signed by the club recently after an outstanding training camp and two strong outings in exhibition games against the Montreal Alouettes earlier this month. Although on the 40-man roster as a practice squad player, it makes no difference to Baird — he’s made it to the pros. “It’s probably the most exciting thing that’s ever happened to me,” says Baird in a telephone interview from his Ottawa home. “I’m happy to be able to help the team and I’m looking forward to representing.” Ta ken in the fifth round (37th overall) by the Renegades in 2005 CFL draft last April, Baird, 25, played on the defensive line for the Uni- versity of Ottawa Gee Gees football team for the past four years. Invited to Ottawa’s training camp split between Kemptville College and the University of Guelph, he made the most of his op- portunity, especially in the exhibition games where he made a statement that he belonged on a CFL roster. “I went full out and let it all out on the field,” explains Baird. “I wanted to show (the Renegades’ coaches) how I can play against other CFLers. “I definitely think my entrance was through the back door, but I’ll take it any way I can. I’m happy to be here. I knew I could play, but I didn’t know I would make the team. I played hard and it paid off.” With no background in football, Baird’s story is testament to how hard work and a little bit of luck can make all the difference. Never having played minor football growing up in Ajax, Baird preferred instead to play basketball and hockey while attending Ajax High School from 1996 to 1999. Upon graduation he at- tended Durham College for a year, while also having a “miserable time” working in a tool-and-die operation during that time. Baird decided to return to university in Ottawa to major in human kinetics, but didn’t want to abandon playing sports. “I wanted to play sports while I was here. I had played basketball at Dur- ham College, so I was stuck between (playing) basketball or hockey at uni- versity. But, football was the biggest sport, so that tempted me.” As someone who could catch a foot- ball, Baird says he made up his mind to be a walk-on player for the Gee Gees, with an eye toward becoming a receiver. But he admits he did it in the most awkward, unorthodox way pos- sible. “I was really lucky. I missed training camp completely because I didn’t talk to the proper people. They had already played a game and the camp was done. I went into the office (of then-Gee Gees’ head coach Andy McEvoy). If I didn’t have size and height he would have told me to get lost. But, since I had weight and height he told me he would give me a look. He saw my height and when you see a big person walk through the door he didn’t want to turn me away without a look.” After one or two practices, Baird says he was told he could stay with the team, but not dress. The Gee Gees already had a talented corps of receiv- ers. “There were four receivers on that team, three of which went on to the CFL, so there was a logjam at that po- sition,” he says. “I just wanted to learn and see if I could play.” He did eventually dress in his in- augural football campaign with the Gee Gees, not as a receiver, but as a slotback. In Year 2, however, he made a successful transition from the offen- sive side of the ball to the defensive side — as a lineman. “O ne of the coaches, (defensive line coach) Randy Fournier, saw me play- ing on offence, playing aggressively and he liked what he saw. He wanted me to make the switch and I’ve been playing there ever since.” As one of five players on the Ren- egades’ practice roster (one of two defensive linemen), Baird says he’s prepared to play hard and learn while waiting for his chance to be an every- day starter with the club. He’s excited to be with the team. “I think we have a great team. I like all my teammates. All the guys have been great to me. I didn’t have to worry about fitting in because they made the transition really easy for me.” Baird notes the Renegades, who had a sub-par season in 2004 with a 5-13 record, finishing out of the playoffs, should rebound this year. “We have the personnel to do some damage this year. But, it depends on how we play. I think it’s a much-im- proved team,” he says. Ajax’s Baird not your typical CFLer Adrian Baird Area soccer clubs to host three divisions at elite international tournament DURHAM — Area soccer clubs are again doing their part to ensure this year’s 39th annual Robbie International Soccer Tournament is the best ever. The 2005 edition of the elite soccer tournament, which plays host to teams from across Canada and the U.S. and as far away as Bermuda, Croatia, and Trini- dad and Tobago, again has games played in Ajax and Pickering.

The Heat captured a silver medal — to go with two silver and a gold from previ- ous tournaments — as they braved ex- treme temperatures to reach the cham- pionship at the Brampton tournament. The Pickering squirt girls endured seven tough games, including a tussle with the Waterloo Ghosts in the final. The Ghosts prevailed 2-1 in a hotly con- tested game. Pickering trailed 1-0 going into the seventh and final inning, when much to the delight of their screaming fans, the Heat managed to tie it up with their first run of the game. In the bottom of the inning with two outs, however, Waterloo rebounded, pushing the winning run across the plate for an exciting finish. The Clarence Red Devils, from Buffa- lo, New York, earned the bronze medal at Brampton. Other teams participating in the Brampton tournament were the Aurora Diggers, Brampton Blazers, Guelph Ga- tors, Oakville Angels and Whitby Ea- gles. Two of the Pickering Heat’s top-two finishes earned them berths at upcom- ing ‘World Series’ tournaments in the U.S. So far this season, the Heat squirts have received outstanding pitching from Renee Ridout and Katrina Baco- poulos, great catching from Steffanie Gallant and Lauren Bellefeuille, solid in- field play from Morgan Bates, Kathleen Fulton, Mackenzie Yeoman-Reed, Brit- tany Reffle and Taryn Saito, and steady outfield play by Leila Meema-Coleman, Melanie Steer and Kaitlyn Malthaner.

Prepared under the authority of the Ontario Planning and Development Act, 1994 (OPDA), the proposed Development Plan is being made available to the public and municipalities as required under subsection 4 (2) of the OPDA. The proposed Development Plan lays the foundation for a well-planned, progressive urban and rural community in Pickering with a protected Natural Heritage System, which reinforces the province’s Greenbelt Plan and key principles of the draft Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. This is part of the province’s strategy to protect the Oak Ridges Moraine by proposing to exchange provincially owned lands in Seaton for privately owned lands on the Moraine. Where/When: The Open House will be held on Thursday, July 14, 2005, from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., at the Dunbarton-Fairport United Church, 1066 Dunbarton Road, in Pickering. The Open House will provide an opportunity for the public to drop in and obtain a copy of the proposed Development Plan and a summary of the background studies used to prepare the Plan. The ministry’s consultant team that prepared the proposed Development Plan will also be available to answer the public’s questions. The Open House will mark the beginning of a 60-day consultation period during which the ministry wants to receive public feedback and written submissions on the proposed Development Plan.

Having lost to the Tigers in the final of the Mississauga Southeast and the Vaughan tournaments, the Red Sox finally put it all together in the final of the Brampton event. The Red Sox peewees scored five runs in a sixth-inning rally to take the tournament championship 5-3 over the Tigers in the Sunday afternoon final. The Red Sox advanced to the final with their semifinal victory over the Mississauga Southwest Twins 4-2. Pickering started round-robin play with an 11-0 drubbing of the Aurora Jays. The Red Sox also recorded vic- tories over the Mississauga Majors 5- 1 and a solid North York Blues squad, 4-2.

Alyson Therien took part in two months of filming for the new movie, ‘The Perfect Man,’ starring Heath- er Locklear and Hilary Duff. It was filmed in and around Toronto in May and June 2004. The eight-year-old Pickering resi- dent, had a unique but vital role in the production, filling in as the photo double for Aria Wallace, who plays Duff’s sister. Her biggest thrill was meeting one of her idols, Duff. “The best was the first time I saw her, in the make-up trailer. She was really nice,” said Alyson. Added her mom Astrid, “It was such a good experience. Heather and Hilary were so nice to us, they’re ab- solutely sweet people, and the crew was so nice.” As a photo double, Alyson was filmed in shots where only a small glimpse of her character could be seen, like an arm or the back of her head. She also worked in scenes that were filmed later in the day when Aria had left. “Young children can only work so many hours in a day, so when Aria would go home Alyson would finish off her scenes with the other actress- es,” said Therien. One such scene was a highlight of the experience for Alyson and her mother, filmed late at night on a To- ronto street. “The street was blocked off, and there were a lot of people watching, it was really fun. Heath- er’s family came, her husband Richie Sambora and their daughter Ava. Ava and Alyson were the only children around so they got along well.” While Alyson has worked on mov- ies before as an extra, her experience as a photo double was unique. “It was a lot of fun,” she said, not- ing the highlights were “meeting new friends, meeting Ava and Hilary’s dog.” “I want to do it again,” she added of future film work. And the experience of meeting her idol and working on the movie has had a lasting effect. “She’s a lot more self-confident,” said Therien. “She’s more willing to try new things, and she’s developed a big love of music. She sees people like musicians and actors, and says ‘I can do that too’. And she’s writing little songs.” “It’s something that will be a fond memory.” Hilary Duff took time to stop for a photo with fan Alyson Therien while the two were working together on the set of ‘The Perfect Man’ last year. Alyson was a photo double for a star in the film. Durham artists top list at annual juried exhibit Art association president, an Ajax woman, calls show ‘really interesting’ By Christy Chase Staff Editor DURHAM — The Oshawa Art Asso- ciation, with several Ajax and Picker- ing members, has some special work on display in it’s annual juried exhibit a local woman says. Sharon Steinhaus, OAA president, said the wide variety of works chosen for the exhibit means everyone will enjoy it. “They range from totally abstract to extreme realism and everything in between which makes for a really interesting show,” the Ajax resident said. “There’s something to appeal to everybody.” She added the annual show attracts new artists every year. “It shows you how many artists are out there in Durham Region,” she said. “We have 175 members. When you have a juried show and perhaps half of your members don’t enter and you still have 200 entries, it tells you they’re out there painting their hearts out.” It was the fine details that won the best in show award for Prince Albert artist Adam Connolly and his work Oak Assassin. His compact sculpture of an owl, clutching its dinner, a mouse, com- plete with whiskers, and surrounded by oak leaves, all from one piece of oak, took top prize in the 37th annual show which opened June 23 and con- tinues through July 10. The show is open to all residents living in Durham Region and to mem- bers of the Oshawa Art Association, no matter where they live. Connolly was unknown to OAA members but caught the eye of juror Claudia McCabe, an elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists. He also won the best sculpture award. This year, OAA got 200 entries for the competi- tion, said exhibit chairwoman Marissa Sweet. Out of those, McCabe win- nowed the se- lections down to 65, mostly due to space constraints at the Robert McLaughlin Gal- lery in Oshawa. “She took a fair amount of time, about three and one- half hours,” said Sweet, of Oshawa. “It was the largest amount of entries ever. There are more large pieces.” “C laudia is a good juror,” said Mau- reen Lowry, publicity chairwoman, of Whitby. “She takes her time. She makes a good show.” Sweet said the show takes a full year to plan and realize. The opening on Thursday night last week featured the awarding of prizes and a discussion by juror McCabe on how she judges a show and why she picked the works that ended up in the exhibit. Here’s a list of the works that won prizes: Best in show — Connolly, Oak As- sassin Best use of colour — Lorraine Sta- ples, Friends Best in acrylic — Gail George, Early Spring 2nd place acrylic — Lisette Storey, Portrait of a Danish Film Star Honourable mention acrylic — An- gela Hennessey, Bronx Fish Market Best in watercolour — Kim Robert- son, Synchronized Swimmers 2nd in watercolour — Henneke Koonstra, Peony Honourable mention watercolour — Sonja Gomes, Where Are You Best in mixed media — Joan Atters- ley, Interweaver Best in oil — Bob Thackeray, Cajun Queen Honourable mention oil — Mauri Huitinen, Magical Smoke Best sculpture - Connolly, Oak As- sassin Honourable mention sculpture — Ilija Blanusa, Passion Best drawing — Nancy Howell, Through Canadian Eyes Honourable mention drawing — Andrea Por, Helena Best original print — Marny Ba- chuk, Blessed September. The gallery is located at 72 Queen St., in downtown Oshawa. Its hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., weekends noon to 4 p.m. Henneke Koonstra, PineRidge Arts Council member A.J.

Durham woman is ‘On the Brink of Risk’ with her life story Local author pens book based on true events living in and leaving Cuba DURHAM — Dinorah Martinez- Piney’s life has been so intriguing, she turned it into a book. The Whitby woman, who came from Cuba three years ago, is the author of ‘On the Brink of Risk’, to be published later this year by Publish America. “I started to write it a couple of years ago,” Martinez-Piney said. “I spent a little over a year writing it, and then I spent the rest of the time trying to contact publishing houses here in Canada who would be willing to publish it. But, when I didn’t find any, then I turned to the States.” Growing up in Cuba, she said she began writing short stories by the age of nine but then after Fidel Castro came to power, her dream of becom- ing a writer died. “After Fidel came to power, to be published you had be a member of the writers’ association. They didn’t think I was politically reliable enough to be a member, so that was it for me,” she explained. She’s got her chance now, here in Canada. Martinez-Piney said the book is a work of fiction based on true events in her life, and that she only began writing the book to express her feel- ings. “A t the beginning, I just wanted it to be cathartic, to get it all out, to leave it behind,” she said. “But, I thought maybe if I add some fictitious characters and events this could be turned into a book.” A three-time cancer survivor, she said the book has many messages, included one related to health. “If you really have a positive at- titude towards life, you cans survive anything, if you do the right thing at the right time,” she said. Martinez-Piney said she wrote the book under the pseudonym Nancy Cruz because she did not want to en- danger herself or her family by writ- ing under her own name. She does, however, feel comfortable enough to talk about the book locally. “I’ve known people, for instance, they are somewhere else abroad and they do something the government doesn’t like and all of a sudden that person disappears and no one hears about them anymore,” she said. “I’ve been on the brink of risk so many times, one more doesn’t matter.” To learn more about the book, go to www.freewebs.com/dinaclara/index. htm. Dinorah Martinez-Piney hopes to see her book published later this year. ‘It was a lot of fun meeting new friends, meeting Ava and Hilary’s dogs.’ ALYSON THERIEN TORONTO Business College 1450 Kingston Road East, Pickering www.torontobusinesscollege.ca Business Technology Health Care Esthetics Travel Legal Studies 905-420-1344 Featured Diplomas: Accounting & Payroll Administrator Esthetics & Salon Operations Personal Support Worker Network Administrator Travel & Tourism CALL NOW! 905-420-1344 *Financial Assistance available to those who qualify. *Registered and approved as a Private Career College under the Private Career Colleges Act.
