Community leaders would like to see Black History Month become obsolete This is the first in a series of stories in February looking at Black His- tory Month in Ajax and Pickering. By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — It is about a past rich with the legacy of black men and women, a present used to edu- cate and a unified future. Black History Month is recog- nized and celebrated each February and although some here in Durham would like to see it become obso- lete, it serves a powerful purpose until Canada is culturally unified. “I will never give up hope that it will happen,” Sarah McDonald said. The principal of Pine Ridge Sec- Working toward a culturally unified country Committee drives home need for transit, parks and more By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Free land for parks, a post-secondary campus, GO Transit service and homes with smart electricity meters. Those are just a few of the de- mands the City of Pickering wants met by the Province before the land exchange in Seaton is complete. (The Province is swapping land in provincial-owned Seaton in Picker- ing for privately owned land on the Oak Ridges Moraine in Richmond Hill. The Province has done a devel- opment plan for the area). The list was received Jan. 27 by Bryan Kozman, director of the North Pickering Land Exchange Team, from Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson, chairman of the Seaton Community Net Benefits Commit- tee. “Seaton in itself, what we’re try- ing to do is hold (the Province) to the highest standards that they’ve led everyone to believe the last 30 years,” Coun. Dickerson said of the list. In addition to the above men- tioned requests, the City also wants the Province to protect all significant First Nations sites, the Whitevale Heritage District and all significant heritage structures; set aside land for community facilities such as schools; agree to service the em- ployment lands along Hwy. 407 and Brock Road prior to any residen- tial development; provide sufficient funding assistance to widen Steeles Avenue within five years of the start of development in Seaton; and agree to ensure sustainability measures are implemented for Seaton, such as that 30 per cent of the electricity CHECKING OUT THE SITUATION Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Pickering firefighters tend to hazards after dousing a car that was torched Wednesday in the ravine behind the Petticoat Creek Library and Community Centre.

Although the board president said thousands used the centre’s services, it is unable to continue because of a lack of funding. “It is sad to see an organization like this close,” Ms. Gauder said. “With a half-a-million people in this area we should be able to support this.” Just prior to Christmas they were forced to let go two of the centre’s three employees, and next Friday will be lone employ- ee and executive director Nancy Burke’s last day. “Volunteers are not tangible,” Ms. Gauder said. “It is hard to ex- press the value of volunteerism, but the impact of volunteerism is widespread and the dollar value is immeasurable.” Despite the value of volunteer hours being contributed to the community, the centre was un- able to find partners to support its operation financially. “We don’t require a lot of money to operate,” Ms. Gauder said. “If we had $50,000 a year we could continue to operate. But we don’t have core funding and we haven’t been able to raise it.” The centre has been in opera- tion for six years and connected volunteers with volunteer oppor- tunities and acted as a resource for not-for-profit organizations. “What is important, I think, is with this organization people can connect volunteer opportu- nities,” Ms. Burke said. The centre has approximately 90 agencies registered, including Community Care, hospitals, the Red Cross, the Kiwanis Club and nursing homes. In the past year, Ms. Burke said 1,400 people have been matched through the centre. Also, Ms. Burke said its website receives between 1,200 and 1,400 visitors a month. On top of that, the cen- tre was a much-used resource by students. Secondary school stu- dents in Ontario are required to complete 40 hours of community service to graduate. “Kids will now have to find their own,” Ms. Burke said, add- ing that just as important as find- ing a volunteer placement is en- suring it is a good match to the student’s likes. “If youth aren’t having a good experience then they aren’t going to volunteer as an adult.” Close to 1,000 students from 34 secondary schools were ongo- ing centre clients. In an attempt to keep its doors open, Ms. Gauder said staff made applications for grants, appeals to local service clubs for assistance, and met with the Region of Dur- ham, but there was no money to be had. The money is used to pay sala- ries, rent, buy supplies, insurance and for website hosting fees. However the women said they hold out hope the centre will find the funding to start up its opera- tions again. Anyone interested in making a donation can call Nancy Burke at 905-436-2035 or e-mail nburke@volunteerdurham.org. No money means lights out for Durham’s volunteer centre A.J. Groen / News Advertiser photo Nancy Burke is the executive director of the Volunteer Resource Centre for Durham Region. Due to a lack of funding, the centre is scheduled to close Feb. 10. PICKERING — The Province’s protection of the Oak Ridges Mo- raine doesn’t change much for Pick- ering landowners. “The impact of the zoning is not that severe... I have not found one property that has been sterilized because of this,” said Jim Dyment. “The big impact on Pickering is pretty minimal.” Mr. Dyment is a consultant who has been working with the City on getting its Official Plan and zon- ing bylaw to comply with the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act. He made a presentation at the Jan. 16 management forum meeting. Under the City’s Official Plan much of the north was designated as natural area with restrictions similar to those now imposed by the Province through the act. The designations have been changed to Oak Ridges Moraine countryside, ORM linkages, ORM natural core areas and ORM rural hamlet for Cla- remont. The most restrictive desig- nations fall in the natural core area. Existing uses as of Nov. 15, 2001 will be allowed under the bylaw changes, except in the core area. Those uses include the reconstruc- tion of a building to the same size as existed, changes of use to a similar use, and construction of a dwelling on an existing lot of record permit- ted by bylaw. Two changes of note are: the des- ignation of Altona as a rural settle- ment area has been removed be- cause it took place after the act was passed; and the rural cluster east of Claremont has been removed as a rural settlement. A report on the changes is to go to executive committee Feb. 13 and then a final recommendation goes to council Feb. 20.

Pickering man shot dead during 1994 crime spree By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — A new trial for a man accused of participating in one of Durham’s bloodiest crime sprees is set for September. Ronald Woodcock made a brief appearance in Superior Court in Whitby Wednesday and was re- manded in custody in a federal prison. He will be back for the start of a trial in early September. It will be the third time a trial has begun for Mr. Woodcock, who stands charged with two counts of first-degree murder and a number of other offences in connection with the infamous Gagnon Sports robbery in Oshawa more than 11 years ago. Mr. Woodcock and a co-ac- cused, Roshan Nourozali, were convicted after their original trial in 1998. But the Ontario Court of Appeal ordered a new trial for Mr. Woodcock, ruling some of the evidence presented to the jury should not have been allowed. A trial began in Whitby last November, but was derailed by a mistrial just days after jurors began hearing evidence. Wednesday, Justice Alfred Stong endorsed a schedule that will see several days of pretrial motions in May and June, and the trial beginning Sept. 5 with the selection of a new jury. It was on Sept. 14, 1994, that two masked men stormed into the Simcoe Street South Gagnon Sports shop around 5:30 p.m., screaming at staff and patrons to get down on the floor. Shots were fired and Roger Pardy, 43, a mar- ried father of two sons, died after being hit in the chest and head. Three others in the store were wounded. The masked men smashed a glass case and made off with 11 handguns. Earlier that day 55-year-old Kenneth Thomas, a Pickering carpenter, was killed execution- style with four bullets to the head and left near the Picker- ing nuclear generating station. It would be months before his body was found. Mr. Thomas’s car was used in the Gagnon Sports robbery and abandoned a few blocks away. Several months after the crimes in Durham Mr. Nouro- zali and Mr. Woodcock were ar- rested following a violent rob- bery in the London area. Police found guns stolen during the Oshawa robbery in their posses- sion. Gagnon murder accused receives new trial in September EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Celebrate our history this month The passing of Coretta Scott King this week was a reminder of how incredibly far we’ve come as a society. No doubt a great part of that progress is directly attributed to the tireless efforts of Ms. King and her husband, Martin Lu- ther King, in the U.S. civil rights movement and the attention it garnered around the world. Thankfully, we’ve come so far. Ms. King’s passing also came on the eve of Black History Month, a time to celebrate here in Ajax and Pickering. Fortu- nately, we are the most culturally diverse part of Durham Re- gion, possessing so much different history and so many differ- ent backgrounds that together have shaped our communities for the better. The coming weeks are an opportunity for our students and schools, and indeed for all of us, to focus on black history, to ex- change stories and to generally share more about an important part of who we are. It’s also a chance to take part in celebrations taking place here this month. More than anything, it’s a time to reflect on the role black leaders have played in making our communities better. Beginning today, the News Advertiser is looking at the significance of Black History Month for Ajax and Pickering through a series of stories. You’ll meet community leaders and the roles they are playing, and you’ll hear some timely thoughts on the month and its significance. Alton Atkinson, chairman of the Town of Ajax’s diversity advisory committee, and Sarah McDonald, principal at Pine Ridge Secondary School, discuss the opportunity these 28 days bring to heighten awareness of the history, far richer than most of us imagine. But, both would also like to see black history occupy the greater role it justly deserves -- namely, a topic of year-round learning and attention. Spend some time this month getting to know our black his- tory, not only in Canada, but also its roots here in Ajax and Pickering. Recognize one of our black leaders for making a dif- ference every day. No matter what you choose, do take the time to educate yourself. And, in the not too distant future, hopefully sooner rather than later, we’ll see the goals of Ms. McDonald, Mr. Atkinson and many others realized, and we’ll eliminate the need to designate a month. Because black history will have rightfully taken its place in our lives throughout the year, be- coming history -- pure and simple. McTeague has record of responsiveness To the editor: Re: ‘McTeague wins, but he wasn’t talking,’ Jan. 25. Why would you be surprised at not being invited to Picker- ing-Scarborough East MP Dan McTeague’s victory party? You openly endorsed a political rival, not just a rival party but a rival candidate, and then expect to crash Mr. McTeague’s party? You must be daft. This was not a public forum. This was a victory party. People get invited to parties. They don’t just walk in, and to suggest, as you then continued in your editorial, that this lack of access was somehow undemocratic is below your usual bal- anced approach. Few would disagree with your sentiments that the Chretien- era, political style is becoming increasingly unacceptable to vot- ers, but I’m not sure that Mr. McTeague is among them. He often voted against his government’s proposals, preferring to vote ac- cording to the wishes of his constituents and his beliefs, which is what he was elected to do. As for responding to questions, I’ve sent a few to his office over the years and always received a prompt response. Ease up. You made a call against him. It was not appropriate for you to be at his victory party. That’s all.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, FEBRUARY 3, 2006 durhamregion.com Canadians will be keeping an eye on Parliament S o, how do you like your Stephen Harper lite government? One thing these last two elections -- or perhaps we should look upon them as one long continuous campaign from De- cember 2003 when Paul Martin became prime minister up to Monday night - - was that Canadians aren’t really sure about what they really want. Minority governments seemed extinct in this country after continuous majori- ties from 1980 through to 2000. Liberal and Conservative governments earned large mandates from an electorate con- tent to pick a clear winner each federal election. But all of that has now changed and politics has become a trickier business than ever at the federal level. Mr. Harper will have to wade through a nasty minefield of problems, not the least of which is that he has no natural policy alliance with any of the three par- ties in opposition. Some of his platform promises -- especially his child-care plan to give $1,200 per year for each child under age six -- are likely dead in the water since each of the opposition par- ties is totally opposed to it. Other plans, like a GST tax cut of one per cent, might be saleable to the NDP and Liberals, if the Tories can convince them the Conservative platform won’t take the country into deficit. At the local level it’s good to see strong government representation, especially if a political heavyweight like Jim Flaherty finds a seat at the cabinet table. Durham elected federal Liberals by the score from 1993-2000 but we were largely plagued by lightweights who failed to deliver much of substance especially when they were lost in a massive red tide. Mr. Flaherty could find himself in fi- nance or justice in a Harper government. He is one of the strongest Tories to come out of Ontario and will provide a voice in national affairs. The group of Durham Tories has a chance to bring the region’s issues to the table and they should encourage Mr. Harper to initiate policies to help the auto industry, to help clean up Oshawa Harbour, to help correct the Ontario fis- cal balance that sees this province con- tribute many billions more than it gets back from Ottawa. These initiatives will boost Conservative fortunes in Ontario. One last word about the campaign: If you listened to the federal leaders, espe- cially in the last few weeks, you’d think they were all monsters. While it’s part of the game of politics, it will be interesting to see how they work together to deliver programs to all Cana- dians. That’s what voters have demanded. Tim Kelly is a copy editor with the Met- roland Durham Region Media Group. E-mail tkelly@durhamregion.com. Stephen Harper earns a tryout Tim Kelly staff editor ondary School in Pickering, Ms. Mc- Donald came to the region in 1976. She recalls then there were not many black people around the region. “I worked in Toronto and it was very multicultural,” Ms. McDonald said. “Here in Durham it was not.” She has seen a change in the demo- graphic since then. “Visually people see the change but culturally I am not sure if people have been involved in the change. We need to see (black people) through the con- tributions they have made, not just for Durham but all of Canada.” And for Ms. McDonald, that is where black history comes in. “I think Durham has come a long way from where it was when I came in 1976,” Ms. McDonald said. “I am very pleased with the work that is being done by the City of Pickering and the Town of Ajax.” She has seen over the years that the quality of interaction among people of different cultural backgrounds is differ- ent, it is better. But, Black History Month is about much more than skin colour. “Blackness is more than a colour,” Ms. McDonald explained. “We are the only people referred to by colour. “As a black person I bare a responsibil- ity for all black people,” Ms. McDonald said. “This doesn’t happen in other cul- tures.” Black History is important year round, said Ms. McDonald, but the designation of a month to black history serves to heighten awareness. Started in 1926 as ‘Negro History Week’ and later as ‘Black History Month’ the groundwork for the designated month was laid by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. The son of former slaves, Dr. Wood- son dedicated his life to ensuring black history was accurately documented and people were educated about it. Ms. McDonald said it is unfortunate that after so many years there is still a need for Black History Month. Attitude and perception have to change accord- ing to Ms. McDonald before the month will have outgrown its purpose. “I don’t think everyone is culturally sensitive to the contributions of blacks,” Ms. McDonald said. “Black History Month brings an awareness to people who may not be exposed to it every day.” The month also serves a purpose for students who are black and those who are not, she said, adding for everyone it is about unity, communication and growing together but, in particular, for black people learning about their heri- tage brings self-esteem, a sense of self and a sense of identity. “Twenty-eight days in February doesn’t work,” Alton Atkinson said. “It can’t work.” Mr. Atkinson, president of King Capi- tal Group in Ajax, agrees educating all people about Black History is important but is disappointed black history is not yet integrated into society. “We should have been to the point in society that we teach this all the time,” Mr. Atkinson said, who is also chairman of the Town of Ajax’s diversity advisory committee. It is frustrating, Mr. Atkinson said, that black history is emphasized only in Feb- ruary. He said it perpetuates a percep- tion that black is an inferior race. “A ll it does is add to the division among us,” Mr. Atkinson said. “The month should have been gone a long time ago. “Don’t give it just one month. Make it part of your history because it is part of your history.” Mr. Atkinson has five children who he said he educates about black history all year round. “I teach my children about the sacri- fices my grandparents and my parents made for us to be here,” Mr. Atkinson said. “We know Christopher Columbus discovered America, but what did the passage for black slaves look like and feel like?” He said black heritage needs to be incorporated into schools. “Everything you do has to start with youth,” Mr. Atkinson said. “There are way too many kids who don’t know what has gone before.” He isn’t ready quite yet to throw Black History Month out the window, how- ever. “There is nothing in place to replace it so we do need it,” Mr. Atkinson said. “But it should have grown into more a long time ago. “It is all about getting our society to move forward together. We have to do more for our kids and more for our- selves.” We are pleased to announce that Ronald P. Kaufman will join the fi rm effective February 6th, 2006 to continue his family Law practice.

Ms. McPherson states that in addition to learn- ing “about what we are and what we do,” it’s also a chance “for youths to have input into any aspects of what we do.” She adds the “terms (of the advisory committee) are still up in the air. It could sit once a month or once every six weeks.” She notes subcommit- tees could also be estab- lished and these groups could meet more often if there’s a topic they want to address. Yo uths could also be in- cluded in the centre’s stra- tegic planning process or be involved in the hiring of new staff. “We want it to be mean- ingful and not a token committee for youths,” Ms. McPherson notes. By attending the infor- mation night, “they’re not committing to anything on the first night. They can find out if it interests them,” she adds. The centre is at 360 Bayly St. W., Unit 5 (be- tween Finley Avenue and Westney Road), Ajax. Registration is necessary and pizza will be provid- ed.

Durham council approved on Jan. 25 services by VHA Home Health- care, St. Elizabeth Health Care, Com- care Health Services, ParaMed Home Health Care, Kawartha Quality Care Inc. and DHS Health Care for the period Jan. 1, 2006 to Dec. 31, 2007. The health and social services com- mittee recommended that pre-bud- get approval be given for 2006 and 2007. The Region’s estimated share of the cost in 2006 is $129,400, while in 2007 the Region will pay $133,800. The Province pays the other 80 per cent of the cost of the services. Homemaking service includes light cleaning, laundry, meal preparation and grocery shopping. The services are provided to eligible persons who have reached the maximum hours of care through the Access to Care organization, but require additional services. The contracts with the six agencies expired Dec. 31, 2005 and all had ex- pressed interest in renewing. The average hourly rate for home- makers in 2005 was $22.77. The pro- posed rate for 2006 is $23.56, a 3.5 per cent increase, and a further 1.4 per cent increase in 2007. Currently, approximately 2,100 hours of care are provided each month to the frail and elderly in their homes. Moody’s gives Durham a lot of credit DURHAM — The Region of Dur- ham has once again received a Triple A credit rating. Moody’s Investor’s Services of New York has reviewed the Region’s credit fundamentals and confirmed the rat- ing with a stable outlook. The Triple A rating places Durham in a select group of municipalities. “A long time ago there were an awful lot of municipalities who had this,” Durham Chairman Roger An- derson said. “Now I believe it is down to four or five.” The Province doesn’t have it, To- ronto doesn’t have it, even the fed- eral government doesn’t have it, said Oshawa Councillor Brian Nicholson “Moody’s is saying our AAA rating is stable and they are projecting it to be stable for years to come,” he said. The Region’s strengths support- ing the rating are a strong financial performance, rigorous management practices, and conservative forecasts covering various risk scenarios and continued economic expansion and assessment growth. A/P PAGE 10 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, FEBRUARY 3, 2006 durhamregion.com Ly dia Trull Public School, Courtice Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School, Whitby J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate, Ajax S. A. Cawker Public School, Port Perry Name Game COURTICE — Located at 80 Avondale Dr. in Courtice, Lydia Trull Public School was named after a not-so-average woman for the late 1700s and 1800s. Although Lydia Trull ended her journey in Courtice, she began it as a British Loyalist in America, eloping at a young age to marry the love of her life, John Trull. During the American Revolution, she and her family were hounded from the country and began their trip to Canada, a voyage on which diseases such as scurvy claimed the lives of many. Mrs. Trull learned the art of medicine from her father and became a medicine woman; during the 1800s, women were unable to claim the title of doctor. She treated her patients equally and helped many natives and settlers, often risking her own life as she galloped on horseback through the treacherous forests, cantered through blazed trails after dusk and travelled on horseback through entire lakes. Although Courtice has been growing steadily over the last 200 years, to this day Trull family homesteads still exist in the Baseline Road area as a reminder of the past. Mrs. Trull was a brave and courageous woman who was not afraid to take risks, and the students of Lydia Trull Public School endeavour to follow her lead and try to dupli- cate her courage and integrity. — Information supplied by Rebecca Suggitt, Grade 7 student at Lydia Trull. Reverend helped start many local schools WHITBY — Born in Toronto in 1918, Rev- erend Father Leo J. Austin made many con- tributions to Whitby following his arrival in 1956. After being schooled and ordained as a priest in 1939, Father Austin served at a few parishes before coming to Whitby’s St. John the Evangelist Church in 1956. His first task was to supervise the con- struction of a church rectory in 1963, and under Father Austin’s guidance, St. Theresa school in Whitby and St. Leo in Brooklin were also built. Whitby owes its first Roman Catholic high school, Denis O’Connor, to Father Austin’s efforts as well. Prior to his appointment as a resident chaplain, Father Austin served as a Catholic chaplain to the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital. A boating enthusiastic, he organized the Whitby Power Squadron, was its first chap- lain and one of its first instructors. He was also one of the founders of the Whitby- Longueuil (Quebec) twinning program, a charter member and chaplain of the Whitby Council No. 4895 Knights of Columbus, and served as Faithful Friar to the Monsignor Bench Assembly Fourth Degree Knights. In October 1975, poor health forced Father Austin to retire. The town declared ‘Fa- ther Austin Day’ and he was honoured by hundreds. He died on May 25, 1984. His Excellency Bishop Clune sums up Father Austin’s drive and desire by saying, “His spirit was too big for his body. He was a real people person; he was always going.” — Information supplied by Father Leo Austin Catholic Secondary School Scugog educator was born and raised in Port Perry SCUGOG — From student to teacher, Samuel Arthur Cawker spent a good portion of his life involved in Scugog’s education system. Born in 1905 and raised in Port Perry, the third son of John and Leona Cawker, he attended the Yellow Public School on Concession 8, Port Perry Public School and Port Perry High School before leaving for Toronto’s Normal School to become a teacher. He took his first job at S.S. #7, a one- room school just south of Caesarea. There were 48 students at the school, which taught Grade 1 to 8. His starting salary was $1,000. For a few years, Mr. Cawker left teaching to work with his brothers in the Toronto hardware business. He came back to the Scugog school system in 1934 when he accepted a teaching position at the elementary school in Port Perry, staying on until he retired as vice-principal in 1968. Looking back on his many years as an educator, Mr. Cawker said the most satisfying aspect of the job was seeing a child work hard to “make it through,” especially those children who may have had difficult times at home. He was able to attend the 1989 opening of S.A. Cawker Public School before his death in 1992. — Information supplied by S.A. Cawker Public School Former principal and superintendent had ideals the school continues to embrace AJAX — As a principal and su- perintendent, J. Clarke Richard- son served Durham students and families for 26 years. Born in 1914, Mr. Richardson began working with the Durham Board of Education in 1958 as the principal at Pickering District High School, during which time he lived in Pickering Village. He was a superintendent from 1965 until his retirement in 1974. The time was one of rapid change and amalgamation of schools, and Mr. Richardson provided the strong leadership and vision required from educators. He believed in providing programs to meet the needs of all students and had a keen interest in school and community partnerships, supported by his active role in the Rotary Club, Lion’s Club and the Pickering United Church. JC or Clarke, as he was fondly called by those who knew him, died in 2001. He was humbled, but incredibly proud to know a magnificent facility in the school board he helped to create would bear his name. Described as a gentleman, family man, respected community member, loyal and supportive employer, life-long learner and always a teacher, Mr. Richardson held attributes staff and students at the school would be well-served in assum- ing. Current students embrace the ideal of civic responsibility that Mr. Richardson valued as they support their own community and beyond, with fundraisers and outreach projects such as their inter-generational dinners for seniors. — Information supplied by J.

Join prayer crusade Andrew Timmins earns bursary PICKERING — For his con- tribution to Ontario parks, Andrew Timmins has been recognized with an educa- tion bursary. The Pickering student was recently recognized by the Ontario Parks Bursary Program in recognition of his leadership, initiative and commitment to customer service while working in White Lake Provincial Park. With funding provided by Ontario Parks’ corporate partners, the program pro- vides 40 students with $500 towards their post-secondary education. “Students make a great contribution to our parks and this is important recognition of the contribution made by a student right here in our community,” said Wayne Arthurs, MPP for Pickering- Ajax-Uxbridge In its sixth year, the pro- gram is open to all students working in a provincial park or within a ‘Friends of’ orga- nization. Co-workers, the public, or a supervisor can nominate candidates, who are judged on their customer service, initiative, leadership, public recognition, overall dedica- tion and promotion of the provincial parks system. Pickering student makes an impression with parks work New programs, building proposals on the go for 2006 By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — More space is on the 2006 wish list at Durham College and the University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology. With the new year barely started, Durham’s post-sec- ondary institutions have up to $200 million in construc- tion projects and proposals in progress for 2006. “Our Whitby (Durham College) campus is overflow- ing, same with Oshawa,” said Bev Balenko, the college’s chief operating officer. A proposal for a Whitby campus expansion is cur- rently awaiting approval. College and university president Gary Polonsky said both post-secondary in- stitutions desire more space. “We’re hoping to an- nounce major new construc- tion,” said Dr. Polonsky. He said projects ongoing or proposed include $81 mil- lion for the engineering and Beacon buildings, $40 mil- lion for each of two academ- ic buildings, $14 million for the athletic facility, $8 mil- lion for a Durham College Whitby campus expansion and $17 million for other in- frastructure. Construction begins on the athletic facility in the spring and should be com- pleted by Christmas 2006. Wo rk on the Beacon build- ing should start this year and finish by Jan. 2008, while the engineering building should be done by September. The other projects are still in the proposal process. Ms. Balenko said there are no proposals for expan- sions to the Durham College Oshawa campus because it shares space with UOIT. In 2006, the college is of- fering seven new programs, including water quality tech- nician, youth worker, fitness and health promotion, video game developer, court and tribunal agent, certified pay- roll practitioner and retailer loss prevention. It’s also implementing co-curricular transcripts to illustrate skills developed by students out- side the classroom, such as leadership abilities acquired through volunteer and am- bassador activities. UOIT also has lots of plans in 2006 as well, including re- search, such as projects in the ecotoxicology aquarium lab. The wet lab was intro- duced last year and received $1.65 million in research funding, but is just getting up and running in 2006. It will be used to investigate the impacts of short-term exposure to pesticides on fish. The university also antici- pates starting new programs in Sept. 2006, still pending ministry approval. They in- clude a bachelor of business administration honours with specializations in human re- sources management, public relations management, sales and communication man- agement; bachelor of educa- tion with a 1-year consecu- tive program primary and junior; bachelor of science (honours) with programs in applied and industrial math- ematics -- which have been approved, biological chem- istry, pharmaceutical chem- istry and medical physics.

The committee was formed late last spring so the City could decide what it needed and wanted for the new com- munity and what should be paid for or provided by either the Province or the develop- ers. Representatives from the provincial government and two of the three developers also sat on the committee. The list doesn’t just come from the committee; Mayor Dave Ryan said it is the consensus of council. “Everything that is on the list is reasonable and attainable and we hope the Province will see the benefit to Pickering and the province as a whole,” he said. Coun. Dickerson said each of the requested items has a provincial policy statement to back it up, such as the Places to Grow document that talks about the importance of moving people through pub- lic transit. Although the City believes everything on the list is rea- sonable, it is open to negotia- tion. “This is really what we want, but I would never close the door on negotiating,” Coun. Dickerson said. When called for a com- ment, Mr. Kozman said they had just received the docu- ment and would be review- ing it. “The government wants to make Seaton work as a model community just as the City does,” he said. He said they are also concerned with sustainabil- ity, the balance of jobs and living areas, the health of the natural en- vironment and supportive transit networks. “We’re fully pre- pared to work with the City to fulfil these objec- tives,” Mr. Kozman said. The City has long been advocating that Seaton be developed as a model com- munity. Coun. Dickerson said they’ve been waiting 30 years to develop the area so it should be done right. (The area was expropriated by the Province in the early 1970s). “We truly have an opportu- nity to be the first community to hit with everything that is new,” he said. ✦ Developing from page 1 Developing Seaton has to be done right Doug Dickerson Space on the wish list for Durham post-secondary schools durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, FEBRUARY 3, 2006 PAGE 17 A/P GRANDFATHER CLOCKS www.sklargallery.com 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 905-723-4561 Hours: Mon.• Tues.• Wed. 10-6,Thurs.• Fri. 10-9, Sat. 10-6, Sun.11-5 *Prices include the GST discount and inventory clearance discount.

Just one more way to get your community news newsdurhamregion.com By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — The Humane So- ciety of Durham Region needs a new home and is looking for help. Nestled in an industrial area on Waterloo Street in Oshawa, the humane society has grown too large for the building, accord- ing to manager Ruby Richards. Cages and kennels line every square foot of the building, cats nap on chairs in the offices and a rabbit and her five new kits oc- cupy a bathroom. “There are some days when it is really frustrating to work in this environment,” Ms. Richards said. “We desperately need to get out of here. We desperately need a home.” The society opened around 1990 and moved into its current building a few years later. The building has changed ownership four or five times since then and much of the maintenance, Ms. Richards said, has fallen by the wayside. The building is no longer suitable for the humane society. There are countless problems with the building, according to Ms. Richards, including a leaky roof and heating problems. The Humane Society of Dur- ham Region covers the area stretching west to Pickering, east to Northumberland and north to Thorah Island. There are 11 part- time employees, including inves- tigation staff and shelter staff. Its current home is roughly 2,100 square feet, but Ms. Rich- ards said staff requires at least 3,200 to house all of the animals. At the moment there are 100 cats and six dogs as well as a number of rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, gerbils and hamsters. Ac- cording to Karin Martens, presi- dent of the society, the current facility should accommodate only 45 animals. “There is nowhere else for us to put them here,” Ms. Richards said. “I would love someone to come tomorrow and tell us they had somewhere for us to go.” The society is holding out hope that someone will come to its rescue. Since it is funded through donations, adoptions and fund- raisers, and its operating costs are steadily increasing, it cannot afford to buy a new building. Ide- ally it wants to move to a central location for its coverage area. “We don’t have the space to deal with the dogs,” she said. “We don’t have a proper area for the dogs to have the space they need.” Humane society puts out desperate cry for new home Celia Klemenz/ News Advertiser photo Ruby Richards, manager of the Ontario Humane Society of Durham Re- gion, and Tara, one of the many animals at the shelter, show off one of the water-damaged walls at the shelter. They are appealing to anyone who can help the society find a new home or help fix up the current one, which is overflowing with animals and in disrepair.

Given the mood of the country, no one is willing to question the fiery McCarthy. Enter legendary CBS journalist Edward R.

On top of this, a family friend has recently died from the disease. “The father decides that he doesn’t want to suffer, he wants to end it,” Nathanielsz said. “He wants to take control of his own destiny. He’s asking for assistance and sup- port from his children.” But instead of being the focus of the family get-together, Glenn’s ill- ness and decision are the catalyst for a series of secrets that come rushing out, he said. “It’s classified as a black comedy. You find yourself laughing despite the situation and sometimes be- cause of the situation,” he said. “What drew me to the play is its commentary on life. It’s a very good commentary on the fragility of life and everything we accept as matter- of-fact,” Nathanielsz said. It’s ironic that the play is set after the dinner, a normally comfortable period when families relax, Nathan- ielsz said. But here, things “heat up.” The play was first produced in 1991. Hayes was the Stratford Festi- val’s literary manager. “It’s probably his best known play at the time. He was considered one of Canada’s up-and-coming play- wrights. He was killed by a drunk driver in 1994. He was only 37,” the director said. “It’s very much a thinking per- son’s play.” There are two levels to it. The first is the humour, designed to lighten the mood so the more serious mes- sage can be delivered to the audi- ence. The second is the familiarity of the situation for most people, a family dinner. “This could be anyone’s living room after dinner,” Nathanielsz said. Maybe the issues aren’t familiar to everyone but the atmosphere, the setting and the give-and-take in re- lationships and conversations will be, he added. That familiarity helps audiences connect to the issues, he said, adding this was considered one of Hayes’ great strengths. The play comes with challenges, the biggest of which is finding the balance between the heavy issues and the humour, Nathanielsz said. The other challenge is the way it was written. While people don’t talk over each other, there are several conver- sations going on at once, so one line of dialogue is followed by a line from another conversation, he said. The actors have to get the timing and rhythm just right, he said. But the result is a very real-life dialogue, he added. He noted the characters are flawed but not bad. Everyone is good-hearted but it’s a case of “best of intentions, worst results.” Ve teran actor Bryan Stannish, of Oshawa, plays Glenn, the fa- ther. He’s done much of his work with Oshawa Little Theatre. Carol Doughty, of Whitby, is Bonnie, the mother. She’s done some work with WCT and most recently with the Borelians Community Theatre in Port Perry. Son Nick is played by Jeff Bower, of Whitby, who has worked with Markham Little Theatre. Guy, Nick’s partner, is played by Jamie Sloboda, of Oshawa, in his first stage appearance. The daughter Norris is played by Annette Stokes-Harris, of Myrtle. This is her first time with WCT but she’s appeared with other commu- nity theatre groups, including the Borelians. Norris’s husband Kevin is played by Randy Finlay, of Ajax, who’s appeared with the Backwoods Players in Pickering. It’s his first ap- pearance with WCT. The play opens Feb. 9 and runs Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays for three consecutive weeks at the Centennial Building, 416 Centre St. S., Whitby.

The Lesley Pyne rink finished fourth at the Ontario Bantam Girls Championship at the South Mus- koka Curling Club in Bracebridge last weekend. The top four finishers earned a spot at the winter games. The Annandale foursome ended the eight-team round-robin with a 4-3 record, tied with Brockville. The Pyne rink then won its tiebreaker game against Brockville to finish fourth and win a coveted spot at the games in Collingwood from March 8 to 10. Curling with Pyne were Stacey Hogan, Ren James and Sarah Les- lie. Jennifer McGhee coached the team. ••• It was an all-Annandale affair in the Best Western Intermediate Women’s Zone Playdown at Toron- to’s Tam Heather Curling Club on the weekend. The Susannah Moylan rink beat clubmate Sandra Thain in the ‘B’- side final. The Moylan team now advances to the regionals in Bob- caygeon on March 4 and 5. Playing on the Moylan team were Carol Wilson, Lois Dwyer and Kris Miyashiro. Curling with Thain were Barb Luffman, Joan O’Leary and Gail Bain. Meanwhile, the Best Western In- termediate Men’s Zone Playdown was held concurrently at Tam Heather, with the Annandale rep- resentative, the Gord Norton rink, sidelined in the ‘B’ semifinal. Curling with Norton were War- ren Leslie, Alex Bianchi and Ron Alexander, with Jon Payne as an alternate. ••• The Annandale Ladies’ Invita- tional Cash Extravaganza (ALICE) is a go this curling season. The 14th running of the bonspiel is slated for Saturday, Feb. 11. Twenty-four teams are currently entered in the event, which can take up to 32 teams. Three, six-end games will determine the winning team, which gets an entry into the Melita Sun- shine Bonspiel. Annandale bantams off to Ontario Winter Games NWHL squad faces Brampton again on home ice Saturday By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — The first-ever play- off spot is on ice for the Dur- ham Lightning National Women’s Hockey League team. The Lightning accomplished the feat after scoring a 3-0 victory over the Brampton Thunder at the Ajax Community Centre on Tues- day night. And a playoff spot, says rookie netminder Desirae Clark, has al- ways been goal No. 1 for the Light- ning this season. “Coming into the season, we sat down as a team and discussed our goals and the first item on the list was making the playoffs,” says Clark, who earned her fourth shutout of the season Tuesday. “It was good to do it against a well-re- spected team like Brampton. That made it a little sweeter.” Now, the Lightning in their re- maining five games will attempt to nail down another first -- a first-place finish in the league’s Central Division. Durham has never resided anywhere other than the basement of the division in its previous six seasons in the league. “First place in the division, without a doubt, was our second goal. It was definitely on our list and it’s achieveable now, so we’re excited to realize that goal,” says Clark. The difference in Tuesday’s game -- as it has been so often this season -- was the goaltend- ing of Clark who faced 26 shots in nailing down the shutout. Jennifer Pollett opened the scor- ing, assisted by Amanda Reid, just 2:29 into the game. Despite out- shooting the Thunder by a wide margin, the Lightning couldn’t add to their 1-0 lead in the second. They did, however, break through for two more goals in the third to put their 18th win on ice. Captain Joanne Eustace and rookie forward Jennifer Wakefield scored third-period markers for the Lightning. The Lightning earned a split of games against the Montreal Axion on the road on the weekend. The first-place Lightning (18- 5-5-2 for 43 points) scored a 5- 4 victory over Montreal at Arena Etienne-Desmarteau on Sunday afternoon, leading 4-2 after the second period. Meagan Aarts led the way with a two-goal effort; Jennifer Pollett, Melanie Rothon and Candice Moxley added sin- gles. The Lightning dropped a 3-2 decision to the Axion on Saturday night. Montreal led 2-1 after two periods and increased their lead to 3-1 in the final frame. Moxley and Aarts scored. The Lightning hooks up with the Brampton Thunder again on home ice at the community centre on Saturday night at 7:50 p.m. Sports briefs FEBRUARY 3, 2006 [ Basketball ] North Alliance pounds Dickson’s AJAX — North Alliance Press put the full-court press on Dickson Printing, which coughed up a 53-37 loss in the Ajax Men’s Basketball League last Wednesday night.

Don Leahy chipped in with eight. In Game 2, ESN Packaging scored a 53-44 victory over the Blue Team. Claude Whitfield’s 21- point effort and captain Roger Young’s 17 paced the packagers. Tom George and Scott Poulton sunk 11 points apiece for the Blue team. Top Shelf brought down the Burgundy team 62-54 in the final game of the evening. Louis Davis had an outstanding game for Top Shelf with 17 points. Captain Luke Luukkonen pitched in with 11. Bob Murray had an all-round great game for Burgundy with 12 points and several key assists. Murray was helped by Mike Stod- dart and John Esposito with 11 and 10 points, respectively. All 12 play- ers on the court scored. [ Ringette ] Pickering novices ice Burr Bear tourney crown PICKERING — The Pickering novice ‘B’ team was red hot at the Burlington Burr Bear Ringette Tournament recently.
