The driver was under a proba- tion order not to be in possession of or operate a vehicle when po- lice pulled the coffee truck over in the Ritson Road-Hwy. 401 area in Oshawa just before noon We dnesday, said Constable Jeff Edwards. “It’s the first time we’ve ever put a seizure out for a vehicle,” Whitby OPP Const. Edwards said. The move to impound the truck for 90 days came after the driver repeatedly ignored licence suspensions and went about his rounds, Const. Edwards said. The driver has already been Tr uck seized after seventh stop by OPP Preserve singled out to remain agricultural By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — A majority of resi- dents at a public meeting this week were accepting of the Province’s plan for 60,000 people in Seaton, and more importantly liked that it leaves the agricultural preserve free from development. Margaret MacKinnon was among those pleased with the plan. She was scared the plan would put de- velopment in the preserve even though the Province had included it in its recently established green- belt, which protects property across the Golden Horseshoe from devel- opment. “I hope it lasts,” she said. “Noth- ing is written in stone.” She became concerned when the City converted some of the agri- cultural easements on properties in the southern portion of the pre- serve this year to inhibiting orders, clearing the way for development. Ms. MacKinnon and others at an open house Thursday night were getting their first look at the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing’s finished plan for central Pickering. It is roughly bounded by the CP rail line to the south, the Yo rk-Durham border to the west, Hwy. 7 to the north and Sideline 16 in the east. The plan covers the Duf- fins-Rouge Agricultural Preserve and provincially-owned Seaton. On the surface the land-use map looks quite similar to the the City of Pickering’s map for Seaton. One noticeable difference is around Whitevale, where the City has it designated countryside while the Province has designated a small 35.2//-3s7).$/73s2//&).' 905-686-2445 Visit our showroom 239 Station St., Ajax Manufacturer of SUNROOMS & WINDOWS NEW WHITBY CAMPUS OPENING THIS SEPTEMBER!!! 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.)

But that’s where the similarities end. Unlike other children the same age, her son Joseph can’t ask for juice when he’s thirsty, or tell her when he’s angry or scared. On a good day, Joseph says three, maybe four words. It’s difficult to get his attention and something as simple as a trip to the store can send him spiralling into what his family describes as a “meltdown.” It’s been a little over a year since Joseph, now 18 months, was diag- nosed with autism, a neurodevel- opmental disorder characterized by problems with behaviour, commu- nication and socialization. Since his diagnosis, Joseph has been on a waiting list for the Inten- sive Behavioural Intervention (IBI) program, a form of one-on-one therapy that teaches basic life skills and is said to dramatically improve communication and interaction. But like hundreds of other pre- school children across Ontario, his chances of receiving that treatment within the small window of his for- mative years, are slim. “Just the day-to-day stuff is so hard,” his mom says, surrounded by toys that move and light up to hold Joseph’s attention. “When we go to the bank I can’t explain to him not to touch the buttons, when I’m cooking his food I can’t tell him it will be ready soon, because he doesn’t understand. Everything we do is a challenge.” On Monday, local parents will gather for a rally in Whitby’s Rotary Park, to raise awareness of autism and the obstacles that parents face in accessing IBI treatment. Organizers say a landmark court ruling handed down last spring has both helped and hindered the pro- cess. Up until April, the IBI program was only offered to children under age six, and many of those never received treatment because they passed the age cutoff while still on the waiting list. After a judge ruled that it was discriminatory to base access on age, the program has now been opened to children over six, creat- ing a whole new set of problems. “The ruling is a good thing, but unfortunately now that all the six- year-olds aren’t being discharged from the program, there are no new spaces for the ones coming behind them,” explains rally organizer Cindy DeCarlo. “Families with older children are being pitted against families with younger children. It’s a very difficult situation.” Bruce McIntosh, another rally organizer, says the solution is to change the way the government distributes funding. As it stands now, children receive treatment through regional govern- ment programs or private sector providers. The government decides how to divide funds between the two options. “The government has a vested interest in its own program, so of course that’s going to get more money,” Mr. McIntosh explains. “But it costs two to three times more for the regional government pro- gram and the treatment is exactly the same. This is why there isn’t enough funding to go around.” The regional government pro- gram costs about $70,000 annually, while private sector treatment runs about $32,000. Mr. McIntosh said he would like to see a third party agency, like a Community Care Ac- cess Centre, distribute the funds. “They talk about early interven- tion, and how important it is to start treatment when they’re young, but then you have to wait and wait,” Ms. Fletcher says. The awareness rally takes place Monday, July 18, at 10:30 a.m. at Rotary Park at the corner of Brock Street and Burns Street in Whitby. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 17, 2005 PAGE 3 A/P Dr’s Graham MacLeod, Susan Dorland and the members of the healthcare team at the Oshawa Animal Hospital (1031 Simcoe St., N.) are pleased to welcome Dr. Susan Gambling.

Ms. Klees is the group’s family co- ordinator. The book is a followup to ‘We Come Bearing Gifts,’ the story of Deohaeko’s first seven years. The new book focuses on the ways in which people have estab- lished connections with their Dur- ham communities, living meaning- fully, rooted in relationships at the heart of communities. The launch is from 4 to 7 p.m. The book was made possible by a five-year grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation and private fundraising.

John van Nostrand, one of the Province’s lead planning consultants, said that was done in consultation with the community. “What we’re saying and what Whitevale is saying is we’ll allow development here as long as there is a buf- fer,” he said. The visions for the Duf- fins-Rouge Agricultural Pre- serve is where the Province and City differ the most. The Province designates it as ag- ricultural, while Pickering’s plan calls for the develop- ment of the southern por- tion. Gordon Willson, of White- vale, is concerned with the cost of development. “The destruction of Class 1 agricultural land is abomi- nable,” he said as he looked at the first panel on display. Mr. Willson is also con- cerned about the loss of his- tory. “What’s of real significance here is the heritage homes,” he said as he listed a number of homes on Whitevale Road with historical importance. “There’s quite a few stories along here of the history of Pickering. The Province’s projection of up to 60,000 residents is also different than the City’s, which calls for 40,000 in Seaton and just under 40,000 in the preserve. Mr. van Nostrand said that could be attributed to the Province having higher densities, including allowing for high-density residential buildings in the employment area along Hwy. 407. He said 60,000 is kind of a ceiling for the area to grow towards. Graham Crawshaw has been following the develop- ment issue since he moved to the preserve more than 20 years ago. “It’s reasonable,” he said. He likes that the living areas have been integrated with employment, commercial, and culture and recreation. The release of the plan marked the beginning of a 60-day consultation period. The public has until Sept. 12 to submit comments on the plan, which is available online at www.mah.on.ca. “We’ll take a look at what the people have said to us and if we need to make mod- ifications, the plan allows for that,” said Bryan Kozman, head of the North Pickering Land Exchange Team. He said more planning still needs to be done and so development probably wouldn’t begin until 2007 or 2008.

Yanch OSHAWA 122 Albert St. 905-721-7506 AJAX 50 Commercial Ave. 905-619-1473 Parking at Ajax site still poses problems By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM — New, more pow- erful locomotives mean more room for commuters, but could place a bigger demand on al- ready cramped parking at some stations. GO Transit is spending $143 million to purchase 27 locomo- tives that can pull two extra cars, the Ministry of Transportation announced recently. That will make room for up to 300 more passengers per train. Ibukun Osunsanya, stepping off a GO train at a Durham stop this week, welcomed the news but worries about the physical impact. “Parking could be a problem with an extra 300 people,” he said. “GO may have to alter the car parking and the ticket ven- dors. There will be extra pressure and longer queues.” While GO stations such as Os- hawa have ample parking, others in Ajax and Whitby are jammed full every weekday. Commuters are always en- couraged to take local transit to GO lots, car pool and be dropped off, said Stephanie Sorensen, a spokeswoman for GO. The transit authority is con- sidering a parking garage at the Whitby station, but the move is still being explored. “We can’t always plan be- cause it depends on what space is available,” she said, pointing to stations that are usually sur- rounded by existing businesses. “Space is usually a big issue.” Getting more people out of their cars and into public transit is always good news for Durham. The Region’s transit improve- ment plan says that in order to maintain the quality of life in Durham, to keep people mov- ing, the community growing and the economy humming, people have to get out their cars and onto public transit. That means reducing the peak period automobile trips by 15 per cent and increasing transit ridership by 167 per cent in just 17 years, the plan says. Commuter Patrick Hooey said anything is great to encourage commuting. “Environmentally, that’s the way to go,” he added. The locomotives will be in ser- vice by May 2007. Hwy. 7 to be widened DURHAM — Commuting is going to get a little easier through north Pickering and Whitby. The provincial government announced Monday that Hwy. 7 is going to be widened from two to four lanes between Brock Road and Hwy. 12. “More than 14,000 vehicles use this highway every day,” said Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Wayne Arthurs. The 15 intersections within this 12 kilometres are also to be upgraded by adding new turning lanes, lengthening others, and upgrading lighting and traffic signal equipment. The announcement is part of ReNew Ontario, the govern- ment’s five-year plan to increase investments in Ontario’s pub- lic infrastructure by more than $30 billion by 2010. The work is pending purchase of land and environmental assessments. Jerry Khouri, Mr. Arthurs’s ex- ecutive assistant, said the work should begin in the next few years. GO to move more people P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER,JULY 17, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Bay rehab finally moves to the top of Pickering’s agenda Frenchman’s Bay is about to get some much-needed TLC. Described by a conservation expert as ‘not very healthy’ from the outlook of its aquatic status and its infra- structure support, the ‘jewel’ on the Pickering waterfront will hopefully thrive under a five-year rehabilitation plan that’s about to commence. Politicians and community members make up an 11-mem- ber Waterfront Co-ordinating Committee and its goal is to take action, says chairman Maurice Brenner. Years of talk about what to do about the bay are to turn into a plan that will be implemented this time around adds the Pickering councillor. The committee is to offer advice to the City of Pickering and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority as they inte- grate previous studies to determine what must be done in the years ahead. One element suggested as the key to the work is to develop a stormwater management plan. With 100 tonnes of sediment running into the bay each year from Hwy. 401 and Bayly Street, its health, from water quality to plant and wildlife there, is only going to get worse. The goal of the committee is to get help with the estimated price tag of $8 million. It will work to obtain funding from the provincial and federal governments. Already they have plans to work with the University of Toronto to qualify for grants. As the WCC, City and TRCA make strides forward, look for a new harbour entrance, construction of a waterfront trail and outreach, education and awareness programs. All-in-all, the plan presented by the WCC add up to what might be a new jewel for Pickering before 2010. Not only would Pickering residents have a waterfront to be proud of and enjoy, but it would be a destination for people to visit. When you consider the improvements to other areas of our waterfront in past years, Pickering will soon have a reputation as a premier municipality, an example to others in how to care for lakefront resources. That’s a worthy goal to commit to and something residents can really throw their support behind. Now let’s hope the WCC can convince the Province and federal government to throw some funds into the pot.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS INFODURHAMREGION.COM Let regional chairman face election at large To the editor: Roger Anderson is an excellent chairman for the Region of Durham. The Region is the envy of other municipalities in part be- cause of his leadership and managerial skills. The Region of Durham is a very large corporation; the chairman answers to the regional councillors and the coun- cillors in turn represent their constituents much like a board of directors who represent the interests of their shareholders. If the current practice continues whereby the chairman’s position is determined by a vote of council and not the voters at large, it gives the appearance of an ‘IOU’ by the chairman to regional councillors for his position. I am confident that is not the case here, but some people might think so. I am confident if the chairman’s position was put to a pub- lic vote during the next municipal election, Roger Anderson would win in a landslide; he is that good. A public vote would put to rest any lingering doubts on this issue once and for all. Rick Foster Whitby Publishing the list is making a difference E very time we order food from a restaurant, doughnut shop or cafeteria, we place our bellies and bowels in what we hope are the capable hands of someone else. Most of us don’t think much about what goes on behind the kitchen doors. But a good reminder comes twice a year when the Region’s health depart- ment puts out its list of establishments with food safety violations. While it’s true that some on the list have made big improvements since being charged and convicted, and some offences are considered minor — such as not properly cleaning a floor — it’s no stretch to be revolted when a restaurant is hit with a $500 fine for not protecting food against “contamina- tion and adulteration.” The words alone are disgusting, but take the examples health inspector and manager Alex Connor has seen: raw meat drippings falling into salad, bowls of uncovered food covered in flies and debris from upper shelves falling into food on lower shelves. If that’s not enough to make you second guess your next out-of-home dining experience, I don’t know what is. And it’s not as if the restaurants that make it onto the health department’s hit list are first-time offenders. These are places that were warned and warned and warned before being slapped with a fine and eventual conviction. Luckily, making the list public and publishing it in the media are paying off. The health department says fewer fines are being laid. At court, one of the first things an offender’s lawyer asks is, “Does my client have to be published in the paper?” The answer is a big fat yes. If you did something dirty, I need to know about it. Until a green, yellow, red pass system is implemented in Durham — where establishments would have to display in their window how the latest inspec- tion went — the public has an absolute right to know, and the health depart- ment has an obligation to tell.

E-mail Food violations must remain public for everyone’s sake Carly Foster staff writer durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 17, 2005 PAGE 7 A/P The Metroland Durham Region Media Group, in partnership with Ontario Power Generation, recently visited Nunavut to learn more about Canada’s newest territory. Reporter Mike Ruta and photographer Walter Passarella will retell the stories they’ve heard and the things they’ve seen in this summer-long series which will be published each Sunday. By Mike Ruta Staff Writer IQALUIT — With the wind whistling out- side, making a -5 C day feel like -20 C, Alice Ladner and Thomas Druyan sit in their living room in Apex, bright sunshine warming the space. They live in an apartment in Iqaluit’s satellite community, overlooking Koojesse Inlet on Frobisher Bay. Married for six years, they’ve been here a year and a half. It’s early May and the spring festival, Toonik Tyme, was two weeks ago. Still, there’s lots of snow left as Iqaluit received far more than usual this past winter. “It’s just beautiful; I don’t really mind the cold,” Ms. Ladner says of living in Nunavut. “It’s always quiet. We have a beautiful view of the bay. I don’t even notice there aren’t any trees; it doesn’t affect me. We get up in the morning if the sun is just rising and get our camera and run out and take pictures of the sky.” She’s the administrator for the Iqaluit District Education Authority, comprised of four schools. A lawyer, Thomas used to live in and work for the federal government in Ottawa. Now he drafts regulations and laws for Nunavut’s legislature. “I wanted to get away from the culture and atmosphere of Ottawa and wanted a change and came up here,” he says. In Iqaluit, it’s different: far more laid-back, where many people kind of fly by the seat of their pants in the workplace because there’s no set way of doing things, or it hasn’t been identified yet. “There isn’t the same level of procedure and process, which is good,” Mr. Druyan says. “But a lot of it is bad because people don’t know there should be a procedure.” The high wages and difficulty in attracting workers makes for a lower-calibre crop in general, he says. Neither owns a car and both walk to work in Iqaluit. Ms. Ladner says because it’s drier, she’s never felt as cold here as down south. The couple doesn’t go out for dinner much and says there’s really very little to spend money on. It’s a good thing. What first strikes newcomers to Canada’s north isn’t the cold or the lack of trees, it’s the prices. There’s no other way to say it, living in the north is expensive. Goods have to be flown in or shipped to communities when the ocean is ice-free. On top of that, energy costs are much higher, adding to the mark up on items that come from the south. True, wages are high in the capital. According to the 2001 Canadian cen- sus, the average Iqaluit household earned $69,650, compared to $45,440 in Nunavut as a whole. Two-or-more-person Iqaluit households earned $79,002. In Oshawa, the average houseful brought in $60,642. Still, the prices can shock. At Iqaluit’s North Mart, the northern equivalent of a Wal-Mart, you can buy al- most anything, from food to ATVs. But make sure your bank account is prepared for the hit: a honeydew melon is $10.99 and a 12- pack of instant oatmeal $5.29. “Freight is very significant, obviously,” says store manager Glenn Cousins. “But there’s other aspects contributing to costs and services in the north.” He notes that electricity, depending on if it’s charged at a residential or business rate, is 30 to 40 cents per kilowatt hour here, six times the rate down south. “The whole economy is inflated so people need to be paid more,” Mr. Cousins says. A lot of residents, including Mr. Druyan and Ms. Ladner, order a year’s worth of dry goods by ship if they can afford the up-front fee. Each unit in their complex has a dry goods room for storage. Others order food every week or two, including meat and pro- duce. The couple had cable at $70 a month, but found they could easily do without it and cancelled it. Mr. Druyan says he might stay two more years or a little longer and that they’re not ready to leave yet. Originally from Toronto, he confesses to missing what only a big city can offer in the way of culture and entertain- ment. “I would like to go to some shows,” he says wistfully. They face more pressing challenges, such as three power outages in the past month, including one in the winter that lasted one- and-half days. “It was pretty cold overnight,” says Mr. Druyan, noting the toilet water and pipes froze. The warmth of summer brings massive mosquitoes, swarms of 20 to 30 that stick to a hiker like glue. It also brings a remarkable profusion and variety of flowers on the tun- dra. Each hopes in their jobs to help make the new territory better before they leave. “I could easily stay up here forever if it wasn’t that my children and grandchildren (including daughter Sarah in Whitby) are down south,” Ms. Ladner says. newsdurhamregion.com searchkeyword:nunavut2005 Next week: IQALUIT Part II, big city problems plague Canada’s smallest capital Walter Passarella/This Week photos Alice Ladner and Thomas Druyan gave up life in Canada’s capital for a more laid back life- style in Iqaluit.

Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Seating is limited to fi rst 10 callers! 416-724-7574 Canadians concerned about heart health should know that help may be as close as their fridge. Experts say beer, consumed in moderation, can help keep a heart healthy. Although the health benefi ts of wine are widely known, a recent Ipsos-Reid survey revealed that only a fraction of baby boomers are aware that beer provides just as many health benefi ts. The survey indicates that eight in 10 Canadians recognized that “wine is good for your heart,” but only one-quarter of those surveyed knew that beer provides the same health advantage. It is the alcohol in both beer and wine that provides heart benefi ts. So whether you’re sharing a class of cabernet sauvignon or cracking open a bottle of beer, the heart health benefi ts of moderate alcohol consumption are the same. - News Canada Beer has heart health benefi ts Faces of the Feature Promo PICKERING ONLY 9x98 A/P PAGE 14 THE NEWS ADVERTISER,JULY 17, 2005 durhamregion.com W hat is wrong? The most common findings for Fibromyalgia (FM) are chronic pain, fatigue, pain to touch, sleep disorders and inability to handle stress. 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 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. This is why addressing the symptoms of these disorders tends to result in failure to produce long lasting change. W hat 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 to attend our Drugless Approach to Amazing Health workshop: FM and CFS on Monday, June 6th at 6:30 p.m. Seating is limited and will fill up fast.

He called this farm Rosebank. When the rail- road came through and passenger service was available, the Cowan family offered their property to picnickers and campers. Originally the nearest train station was at Port Union and the campers had to commute to Rosebank via horse and wagon. Around 1900 a station was added at the farm and the campsite soon devel- oped into a summer resort. Rosebank had become the weekend getaway for many city dwellers of Toronto. During the sum- mer season, the Rosebank station served seven passenger trains and a ‘Picnic Spe- cial.’ By 1916 it had its own post office, and summer cottages started popping up. To day, you can still see evidence of these cottages mixed with very mod- ern homes. The Waterfront Trail passes through Rosebank along Rodd Avenue. If you follow along across the railroad track there is a pedestrian entrance to Petticoat Creek Conservation Area.

By Danielle Milley Staff Writer CLAREMONT — The spirit of the west is coming to Claremont. The rodeo rolls into town July 22 for a weekend full of events organized by the Cla- remont Lions Club. The festivities kick off Friday night with a dance for those 19 and older from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. at Barkey’s Toad Hall. Admission is $15. There is also a country video dance Saturday for those 19 and over beginning at 8 p.m. Admission is $15. The real action gets underway Saturday at To ad Hall, which is at the north end of Claremont -- take Old Brock Road north to the Uxbridge/Pickering Town Line and turn left. The hall opens at 8 a.m. with breakfast, a speed show, games and vendor booths. The cowboys get set to conquer the bulls starting at 2 p.m. with the action running until 4:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults, $11 for seniors, $8 for children aged six to 12 and free for those five and under. Cowboys and cowgirls compete in a va- riety of events including calf roping, bar- rel racing, steer wrestling, ladies breakaway roping, bareback riding, and of course bull riding -- one of the most popular rodeo events and the most dangerous. “You have to stay on that bull while he’s kicking and spurting and snorting... The cowboy’s hanging on with one hand,” said Donna Painter, one of the organizers. There is also a trick rider and you can’t have a rodeo without the rodeo clown. “Their job is to distract the bull from the downed rider so he can get the heck out of the way,” she said. The club has been busy planning for al- most a year, only taking time off in August to recover from last year’s rodeo. The event is getting bigger each year with 6,000 people attending in 2004. “It’s a time to have a family fun weekend,” Ms. Painter said. “Any kid would want to come and watch a cowboy.” The action gets underway again early Sunday with another breakfast at Toad Hall at 8 a.m., and more mounted games and vendors. There is a church service at 11:30 a.m. The rodeo rides again at 2 p.m. New this year is the custom classic car and truck cruise-in from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. “There’s no other rodeo in the area,” Ms. Painter said. In addition to attendees having a good time, they’ll also be supporting a good cause as all the money raised goes back into the Claremont community. For more information, visit www.clare- montcommunity.ca. Families can saddle up and ride for annual Claremont R odeo News Advertiser file photo Last year’s Claremont Rodeo drew 6,000 people, with organizers expecting even more interest this year. The event kicks off Friday and runs all weekend.

It seems that students who attend summer classes not only achieve higher grades but also develop a positive outlook on school. Unfortunately, most parents and many teachers think the opposite is true. Imagine being able to improve motivation by taking summer classes. Learning consists of a series of purposeful activities: activities we can control and direct. Children must learn that it is possible to control and direct their own learning activities. Parents usually leave this control in the hands of the education system. They feel that it is the schools’ responsibility. This unfortunate mind set often carries over into the summer holidays. If learning is the direct responsibility of the teacher and the classroom, then a vacation from these permits the student to let go of all responsibility for school and relax. Unfortunately, the exact opposite is true. By taking the summer off, education suffers and students drift backwards. Students lose much of the academic gains they made during the previous year but, more importantly, they lose their ability and motivation to learn. Remember that school and school-based learning are artifi cially constructed ideas. Even with a great teacher and an interesting program, it is hard enough to get kids interested in problem-solving and clear writing. Throw in a wind-down month before summer holidays, add two months of holidays and follow this by a ramped-up month (September) and you have an unmotivated and unfocused student.

The task alone can seem over- whelming. Students need to build impressive resumes and schedule their time effectively to ensure they can handle a job as well as other commitments. However, finding a job during the summer is easier than most students think and help is avail- able. Students who start working early, start obtaining life skills early. School activities and co- operative education programs that are affiliated with different companies can ultimately lead a student to a part-time job as well as help build confidence, problem-solving and leader- ship skills. Co-operative educa- tion programs can also direct a student to an apprenticeship program, where they can do hands-on work in their desired career while learning about the job. These programs help create a working resume, which aids a student in following a posi- tive road to their desired career choice. Students who are involved in student activities at their school are usually considered more equipped with the skills needed for a part-time job. Most student- organized activities encourage leadership and teamwork, two very important skills in the work- place. A common misconception with some students is that they believe they do not have the most impressive resume, and therefore will not get the job. However, stu- dents who show they have par- ticipated in school activities will help add to the overall impact of their resume. Student who have not been previously employed can fill this space with the student activities they have organized or in which they’ve participated. Everybody has to start somewhere and showing that one has participat- ed or organized school activities is a great place to start a resume. In addition to participating in or organizing school activities, students need to show they are a contributing member in their community. Getting community hours, in addition to the 40 hours that all secondary school stu- dents need to graduate, is a great way to show they are committed and loyal to their community. They will also add significant im- pact to a resume. Students can get help with their resumes and interviewing skills at many student employ- ment centres across Durham Re- gion. There, they learn how to construct a confident interview and show their best side. To find a job, students must do their own research by reading newspaper advertisements, visiting their guidance counsellors and using personal connections. However, the most important part of job searching is staying confident and not taking rejec- tion to heart. Never give up. There is a job out there for ev- eryone, and with perseverance, confidence and a little help from some professionals, you will find it. Katalin McLean, is a 17-year- old student at J.

Red Sox win, then swim in Quebec Pickering peewees capture prestigious Gatineau ball title PICKERING — The Pickering Red Sox peewee rep baseball team was hot on the basepaths at a recent tournament in Quebec, but cooled down considerably after the final out was made. As is customary following the final game at the 36th annual Braves Du Coin Interprovincial Peewee Tournament in Gatin- eau, Quebec, the champion Red Sox jumped into the cool Ot- tawa River still wearing their uni- forms. The Pickering peewees cap- tured the prestigious tournament with a 7-3 victory over the Lynx de Roussillion, one of the best teams in Quebec, in the final played in extremely hot weather conditions. The invitation-only event fea- tured many of the best teams from Ontario and Quebec. In the semifinal, the Red Sox rolled over Ontario rival Bramp- ton Royals 5-0. In the other semifinal, the Lynx De Rossillion defeated The Mississauga North Tigers. The Pickering Red Sox’s lone loss came against the host Mil- lenium De Gatineau 3-1. In ear- lier action, Pickering downed the Barrie Red Sox 2-0. The elimination game was a tense affair between Pickering and Quebec’s Pirates Du Lac St- Louis, with the Red Sox coming out on top 5-2. Next up is the Pickering Red Sox International Peewee Tour- nament at diamonds around Pickering July 22, 23 and 24 with the all-star game Saturday night at the Amberlea diamond. Te am members are Richard Abbott, Jordan Bean, Nick Cappa, Evan Grills, David Head, Robbie Heard, Graham Holland, Dennis Linthwaite, Aaron Rabena, Peter Ricciardi, Brian Smith and Eric Wood. Pickering women help Canucks to gold at inline hockey worlds Caggiula, Clarke travel to France with Canadian team By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — Although they weren’t supposed to be in France for the 2005 World Inline Roller Hockey Championships, the Cana- dian women’s team found a path to glory nonetheless. The Canadians — with Picker- ing goaltender Quinn Caggiula and forward Latoya Clarke in tow — returned from Paris earlier this week with the world crown, play- ing in an event that attracted 10 nations. And, with practically a throw-together crew, assembled in haste with very little practise time to prepare, a talented group of 11 Canadian women found a way to emerge victorious. “It makes me think about how proud I am to be a Ca- nadian and how much we accom- plished over there,” says Caggiula, who arrived home on Monday. As with women’s ice hockey, it usually boils down to a U.S.-Canadian final, and the women’s inline roller hockey final was no different. The Canadians hung on for a 1-0 victory over the Americans to earn gold. And, like the ice hockey rivalry between the two countries, the final was an all-out affair, says Cag- giula. Following the final, which was played in front of a large crowd of 3,000, the strains of ‘O Canada’ filtered through the arena. And, at the closing ceremonies, the players were presented a championship plate. “They made us feel great,” says Caggiula. The Canadians and Americans were destined to meet in the final, as both squads had a relatively easy road through pool play. Can- ada won all four games, defeating Mexico 9-1, Spain 8-2, Germany 4-0 and France 2-0. The Americans also emerged with a perfect 4-0 mark. In the quarter-finals, the Cana- dians blitzed Australia 12-0. Canada shutout Germany 4-0 in the semifinals to earn a shot at gold. Throughout the tournament, notes Caggiula, the Canadians were heartily cheered by the French fans who seemed to adopt the Canucks as their own. “They really liked the Canadi- ans,” she says. “We’d have kids and people in the stands holding ban- ners for us. And it started right from Game 1. We had the most fans at every game.” A month ago, there was no thought of putting a Canuck entry into the world championship. “We weren’t supposed to go. We didn’t have enough sponsors so, therefore, we didn’t have enough money to get there,” says Caggiula, 19, who played with the Canadian women’s inline team two years ago in the Czech Republic. “But, it came together quickly, in a mat- ter of a month. We had a couple of practices and put things together.” As someone who’s a longtime inline hockey player, in addition to playing ice hockey at a high level, Caggiula was recruited by the coaches to join the Canadians in France. Even though she’s had experience at the worlds before, she was still elated to get the call. “They had a lot of confidence in me from the last time (play- ing at the worlds),” says Caggiula, who was currently playing for the Yo rk Inline in a York Region-based league this summer. Caggiula saw some action in goal for Canada, behind starting netminder Keely Brown who got the call in most of the tournament action, including the final. Cag- giula says she was fine with that, knowing from the outset she would see limited action. Clarke, however, a standout with the University of Minnesota Gold- en Gophers women’s hockey team during her collegiate career, was a solid contributor for Canada at the worlds, although she was in her first year of playing inline hockey. Later this month, Caggiula and her York team will play in the an- nual North American Roller Hock- ey Championships (NARCH) in Fort Myers, Florida from July 17 to 31. She won a NARCH title five years ago and is looking forward to another shot at it. In September, Caggiula is head- ed to the U.S. to begin an athletic scholarship at Robert Morris Uni- versity in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She’s excited to play in the inau- gural season of ice hockey for the Colonials. “I’m so thrilled and so excited to be going there,” says Caggiula, who played with the Junior Lightning of the Provincial Women’s Hockey League last season. “I’ll be one of the older players on the team, so I’m looking forward to being a leader and stepping it up for the younger players.” Although she hasn’t been guar- anteed a starter’s spot on the team, Caggiula is looking forward to the challenge of nailing down the starter’s role with the team. “I’ll definitely have to earn my spot. The coach (Kevin McGona- gle) says I’m capable of getting the starter’s position and that’s what I intend to do.” Caggiula says she was settled upon returning to the Junior Light- ning this season but, upon get- ting a better scholarship offer from Robert Morris than originally of- fered, she jumped at the chance to play in the states. “Ken Mulgrew (coach of the Ju- nior Lightning) is more than happy to let me go. I was a little worried about telling him; I thought he would be upset.” She’ll head to Pittsburgh for ori- entation in late August, one week prior to the start of classes. She expects to be on ice with the NCAA Division I Colonials in October. Caggiula plans to major in psy- chology, with a minor in sports management, while attending Robert Morris University. Latoya Clarke Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Quinn Caggiula, 19, of Pickering, was part of the gold-medal-winning Cana- dian team at the 2005 World Inline Roller Hockey Championships in France, recently. She’s preparing to attend Robert Morris University on an athletic scholarship in the fall.

The club sent 19 swimmers to the recent event, which featured 76 other Ontario teams. With one of the smaller contingents, Pickering finished seventh, earning an overall score of 341.5. All told, Pickering swimmers posted 59 best times, won 34 medals and set 24 club re- cords. In 2003, the last year in which the Pickering club competed in the event, the team finished 22nd. Leading the way was Carleen Ginter, 10, who established five club records in the girls’ nine-and-10 age group. She swam the 50-metre freestyle in 32.78 sec- onds, breaking the old mark of 33.43, set by Meghan Toswell earlier this year. She also broke her own mark in the 100m free, swimming 1:11.43, eclipsing her old mark of 1:14.10 set earlier this sea- son. She broke an eight-year-old mark in the 200m free, swimming in 2:34.37 (2:40.73). Ginter swam the 400m free in a new mark of 5:27.66, (5:41.38 Ainsley Corkum two years ago). Finally, she set a new standard in the 100m backstroke with a swim of 1:25 (1:25.90 in 1999). Meanwhile, Danielle Gomba, 12, also set five new club marks, beating her own mark in four. She set new standards in the girls’ 11-12 50m free (28.89), 100m free (1:02.66), 100m back (1:09.78) and the 200m butterfly (2:35.92). Her other record was in the 50m back, swimming in 32.70 (36.73 in 1997 by Megan Shanks). Kaleigh Heard, 13, and Adam Gomba, 14, set or tied three records apiece. Heard broke her own club marks in the girls’ 13-14 100m free (1:01.02, previous mark 1:02.34), 400m free (4:36.40, old mark 4:41.96) and equalled her mark in the 400m individual medley (5:18.56). Gomba eclipsed his previous marks in the boys’ 13-14 100m free (57.43, old mark 57.74), 200m butterfly (2:21.02, old mark 2:22.73), and 800m free (9:04.66, old mark was 10:08.54, set in 1996). Alysha Lynden, 13, and Hollie Smith, 10, set or tied two new club marks apiece. Lynden broke her own marks in the girls’ 13-14 50m back (33.93, old mark 35.31) and the 100m back (1:13.67, old mark 1:14.87). Meanwhile, Smith, in the girls’ 9-10, set the 50m breaststroke (44.16, old mark 44.58) and tied her own mark in the 100m breast (1:37.46). Other record-setters were: Michael Storto, 16, in the boys’ 15-16 400m free (4:27.88); Jeff Cernele, 15, in the boys’ 15-16 50m back (31.92), break- ing his own mark set earlier this year; Al- lison Foster, 13, in the girls’ 13-14 1,500m free (18:51.76); Erin Gordon, 17, in the girls’ 17-and-over 1,500m free (18:58.20, old mark 19:11.26 in 1996).
