Instead of sitting in class May 9, the Pickering school’s Grade 11 urban watershed science stu- dents went to Urfe Creek to col- lect bugs as part of their studies. The field trip was one of several planned for the class throughout the month. “We’re really lucky because we get to come out and it’s re- ally hands on,” said student Lisa Beairsto after finishing her work in the stream.

The Grade 11 students are part of the Urban Watershed Science pro- gram and are taking samples to determine the long-range quality of the water in the various creeks in the area. S tudents dip right into their studies Not likely Pickering residents will be given a voice in process By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — The federal gov- ernment is shutting the commu- nity out of the peer review process for the proposed Pickering airport, says Mark Holland. The Ajax-Pickering MP has been meeting with Transport Minister Lawrence Cannon’s staff and was told they’ve decided not to seek public input. In a letter dated May 3, he wrote to discuss his disap- pointment “to learn that there will be no public consultation either in setting the terms of reference for the review or during the review itself.” Hugette Guilhaumon, Mr. Cannon’s director of communica- tions, wouldn’t confirm whether or not the peer review is going to include public consultation. She said they’ve received Mr. Holland’s letter. “We are in the process of an- swering the letter now,” she said. Once the response has been sent, she said they would be able to discuss the issue. Transport Canada spokeswom- an Paula Fairfax said the due dili- gence review is going to be con- ducted by the government depart- ment as most of the studies being reviewed are technical in nature. “Should Transport Canada re- quire technical experts, it would contract with outside technical ex- perts,” she said. Stephen Frederick, president of Vo ters Organized to Cancel the Airport Lands (VOCAL), is still op- timistic about the review, but isn’t happy to hear this might be the way the review goes. “Transport Canada has had an obvious bias in this process since Public headed for shutout on airport review 905-509-5005 Blaisdale MONTESSORI School OPEN HOUSE Part time available Visit www.blaisdale.com for fees 16 months - 6 years 365 Kingston Rd.

During a May 17 meeting, members of the joint planning, finance and works committees approved staff report rec- ommendations summarizing the issues with the development plan, prepared by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The Central Pickering Development Plan is a provincial study for develop- ment in provincially-owned Seaton, which would see up to 70,000 residents and 35,000 jobs created. “There is still much work to be done as we proceed into the next step of im- plementation,” said Dorothy Skinner, a senior planner with the Region. She said the next stage of implemen- tation includes planning, such as regional fiscal and natural heri- tage studies. Staff recom- mendations in- clude advising the minister of municipal affairs that Durham will continue to pur- sue resolutions through Stage 2 of the plan’s implemen- tation. Issues listed include the establishment of a provincial role in achieving a viable, long-term agricultural community, and servicing and financing to make sure the Region is fully funded for infrastructure. The Region also wants to ensure it does not bear any long-term operating fees relating to water and sewer, servicing the federal airport lands, Hwy. 407 employ- ment lands, transportation concerns such as 407 interchanges and Hwy. 7 upgrades, among others. Also approved by committee was ad- vising the minister that Durham objects to any financial incentive in the Pickering development plan that suggests a re- duction in municipal fees to encour- age high-density housing; amending Durham’s Official Plan to recognize the central Pickering development plan is in effect; and sending a copy of the report to the minister of municipal affairs and housing and others. “We’re not endorsing anything,” said Alex Georgieff, commissioner of plan- ning. He added the report was just to inform the Province of inefficiencies in the de- velopment plan and to identify concerns still needing to be met. A fiscal impact study is currently un- derway, examining the ongoing and capital costs of regional infrastructure required for financial agreements with the Region, according to a staff report. The study, which should be done by the end of the year, will help the Region po- sition itself during negotiations with the Province, said Mr. Georgieff Durham Chairman Roger Anderson asked for a report to come back by the end of September, with a list of growth patterns and an idea of what other ser- vices and money will be needed for the new community. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan said there needs to be a very specific action plan on how the Province will remain engaged in working with those lands and the future community. Following up on those com- ments, Mr. Anderson said the report he is asking for is important because the Region will be able to move forward and make sure there is money for services.

The program began in 2003 in response to community dis- cussions about local watersheds, said teacher David Gordon. “We’re hoping to influence de- velopment policy,” said Mr. Gor- don. The class will use information gathered from the project to cre- ate a case for sustainable, in- creased density development. “The argument we want to present is there has to be some- thing better than sprawling out across the land,” Mr. Gordon added. For the Urfe Creek project, two students at a time entered the creek, scuffed its bottom and caught the bugs it brought up with a net. Insects were put into a tub using squirt bottles of creek water, and were later counted and identified using a chart. “Midge count number one,” said Stuart West, as he removed a small bug with a pair of twee- zers. Student Alicia Schick said the group will generally be able to tell what’s in the creek by what bugs they find. “Some of them have a low tolerance (to pollution) so that means the water’s pretty clean,” said Colin Leighton. Along with worms, stone flies and other bugs, the students also came across frogs and fish. “It shows the river is really ac- tive and healthy,” said Colin. Before the class performed its collection, it set up the site by making various measurements and diagrams, taking photo- graphs and documenting vegeta- tion and forest cover. Te st sites for May include Ga- natsekaigon Creek, Little Rouge Creek, an unnamed creek in Box Grove in Markham, as well as Urfe. About 50 people will be invited to the class’s community presen- tation of the its findings and re- port in late June. The project receives help from university student volunteers and also gets financial support from the Pickering Rotary Club and TD Friends of the Environ- ment Foundation. we’ll give you a reason to smile... ...at the Deegan Denture Clinics Full & Partial Dentures Same Day Relines & Repair Soft Liners Implant Dentures BPS® Dentures Complimentary Consultations Michael C.

While Mr. Holland acknowl- edges much of the review would be technical in nature he argues in his letter that many members of the north Pickering community have been dealing with this issue for more than 30 years and have a lot of knowledge to share. As well, allowing public consultation would be a sign of good faith to a community that is cynical about government, he said. “It wouldn’t have been a big undertaking to include the pub- lic in the peer review,” he said. He was willing to invite staff from the minister’s office to conduct the public consultation at one of his own town hall meetings. Mr. Holland is anxious to see the terms of reference and know the reason behind “shutting the com- munity” out. “This process is turning into something that is a farce,” he said. ✦ VOCAL from page 1 ✦ Pickering from page 1 Stephen Frederick PICKERING — Epilepsy Dur- ham Region is holding information sessions and lectures on epilepsy, employment, and the disability tax credit.

Instead, they’re prepared, on June 4, to walk the walk when it comes to the issue. Last Monday, at Durham Region headquarters in Whitby, chairwoman Sandra Mackey stepped up to launch Society Against Violence Everywhere (SAVE), a partnership of various and diverse community organizations. SAVE’s mission is a simple one, its work complex. It wants to address the root causes of youth violence and try to get to the problem before it gets out of hand and results in pain and suf- fering and jail time. SAVE proposes supporting new and existing programs to spread the message to at-risk youth that there are positive alternatives to violence. That requires time, effort and funding. And lots of all three. Concerns have been raised in recent years that with the constant growth in Durham Region, crime problems will inevi- tably increase. But it doesn’t necessarily have to be that way. A concerted, concentrated community effort that involves lots of hard-working volunteers can make a very positive difference. All it takes is a little optimism and a lot of dedication to make good things happen. Ms. Mackey, a civilian supervisor with the Durham Region Police communications department, is helping lead the effort but she will need a lot of assistance. And that’s where you come in. A very good place to start with SAVE is to sign up sponsors and take part in the six-kilometre walk on Sunday, June 4. It only costs $5 to register to take part. The walk leaves from the Civic Auditorium, 99 Thornton Rd. S., Oshawa, at 1 p.m. Everyone is welcome. To register or for information about it, call 905-743-SAVE (7283) or log on to the organization’s website at www.societyagainstviolence.org. The group, at 64 Simcoe St. N. in Oshawa, needs volunteers. Give them a call and find out more about this new initiative. McTeague’s bill has student’s endorsement To the editor: Re: ‘McTeague bill will only benefit the well-off,’ letter to the editor, Gary Dale. Mr. Dale should be reminded that it was his party, the NDP, that was responsible for depriving students of the Liberal initia- tive to reduce tuition by 50 per cent in their first and last years of school. Instead, we have a government that promises an $80 tax break for textbooks for a segment of the population that rarely pays tax. As someone who has run multiple times to be a member of parliament, Mr. Dale should also be reminded that as a private member Mr. McTeague is not allowed to put forward money bills. Thus he would not be allowed to put forward a bill reduc- ing tuition fees. Additionally, Mr. Dale should be aware that tax credits are valued at the lowest tax rate (which would have been 15 per cent had Mr. McTeague’s party still been in power), not the separate bracket rates as Mr. Dale has assumed. The point of Mr. McTeague’s bill is to make the RESP program more accessible to more people. Mr. Dale should encourage his party to support the bill and make a note that it is the NDP that is responsible for students missing out on tuition reductions. As a student, I appreciate Mr. McTeague’s work and hope that his bill passes.

Without our prosperity, we couldn’t help others U nder an early morning African sun, a boy stands with grave-like stillness at the side of a road. In his hands, he holds a live chicken for sale to anyone passing. He doesn’t flinch as it clucks occasionally in his arms, or as people appear, seemingly out of nowhere, from the surrounding fields and then cross the road into some other unseen place beyond the cornstalks. In Zambia, a country full of poverty, it is not too hard to imagine why he stands there, at the side of the road with the chicken. He could be an orphan, since diseases such as HIV-AIDS have killed many parents. He could be hungry, since many fathers spend days in the bar drink- ing instead of providing for their families. As we stand at the back of a Toyota SUV eating tea biscuits and drinking tea across the two-lane road from him, he doesn’t approach or talk to us -- he just stares straight ahead at nothing. Months after returning to Canada from a Canadian International Development Agency trip to report on the impacts of aid in Africa, his image is just as fresh as it was on that dry, hot February day. An image we would never experience in Canada, and that alone is enough rea- son to justify the immense pride I felt in being Canadian, more so than guilt or shame. Along with illustrating the hardships of Africans, the adventure demonstrated on a larger scale what it is to be Canadian: lucky. Although the work still needed in Zam- bia is immeasurable, Canada is part of the reason it is moving in the right direction. For a country that doesn’t have as much to give as a megapower such as the U.S., Canada is sure leaving its mark on the lives of people less-fortunate than many inside its borders. The contribution of churches, farmers, students and donors across Durham Region and Canada can be seen in the smiles of the children able to go to a community school, in the eyes of a farmer able to feed and send his family to school, and in the strength of a medicated AIDS patient giving back to the program that helped him. We should feel proud and appreciative, not sad or ashamed of the lives we have here in Canada. If Canada hadn’t come as far as it has and hadn’t been so suc- cessful, our country would be of no use to Africa because it wouldn’t have anything to teach or to give.

After a summer spent chasing butterfl ies, swimming, working or just plain lazing about, Labour Day rolls around and hundreds of thousands of students fi le back into their schools - ready for a new year. Or are they? A teacher friend of mine tells me that, “We have to allow at least a month for everyone to get settled and back in a learning mood.” That puts us into October and, according to other teachers, many students are still not refocused and ready to learn by then. However, according to the same source, “by mid October most kids are back to speed.” According to my calculations, this would mean that from July 1, through at least October 15, many students are not focused or at their best. “For at least three and one half months, learning can be haphazard to say the least.” says Robert Primrose a Grade 10 teacher. In fact, it may even be worse than that. Think about your child’s learning experiences in June each year. Tests, exams, fi eld trips and other events consume most of that month’s schedule adding another month to the let down period. Considering that the average school year includes only 200 days of instruction and that many of those days are spent in less than ideal conditions, we soon see why many schools struggle to meet the educational expectations of parents and society. W hat can we do to help? Easy. Help your kids stay sharp over the summer holiday and there will be no let down - no big gap in the fall. Kids who are focused and ready in September, will learn, integrate and understand new material right away. This will allow them to make the most of each school day instead of only half of them. There are many ways to help kids remain on top of their school skills. Make sure that your children read during the summer. Even if they have a busy social life and a part or full time job, make sure that they take time each day to read. Set up brief study periods at least every other day. Times when your child can review the worst or hardest subjects, read ahead into next year’s material and organize for next year. However, possibly the best way to help students stay sharp is through Supplemental Education programs. Good summer programs, such as those at Oxford Learning Centres, keep those thinking, reading, writing, math and study skills sharp and ready for September. “It’s not so much the memorized material that students forget over the summer,” says Dr. Pete Gamlin from U of T’s Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. “It’s learning How to Learn that gets forgotten each summer. That’s because it is seldom taught independent of school subjects. Students who develop good learning and thinking skills will be ready for success in September. Attending a study session over the summer at Oxford Learning is the best way I know of overcoming the summer let- down.” Oxford Learning is Canada’s leading provider of supplemental and enrichment education services. They will design as individualized learning program for each child to keep them sharp over the summer and get a head start on next year. Help your child enjoy learning this summer and return to school in September with improved skills and greater confi dence. Don’t delay, call Oxford today In Pickering/Ajax at 905-420-3141to fi nd out how they can help your child get caught up or reach ahead this summer. Staying Sharp All Summer By R.N.

Manresa now a spiritual renewal centre PICKERING — In 1949 the Jesuit Fa thers of Upper Canada purchased a plot of land and the buildings that were on it, in Pickering. Here, they estab- lished the Manresa Retreat, a spiritual renewal centre. The chosen property had an 18- room main house, a second building with 10 rooms and seven-car garage and dog kennel. There was also a small bungalow on the 107-acre property. In 1912, Lord and Lady Hyde, son of the Earl of Clarendon, along with two other English lords purchased the property and built ClarendonWood. It was their English estate in Canada, where they resided until the First World War forced them back to England. In 1922 Victor Ross, first vice-president of the Standard Oil Company, expanded the property and added a lake, a wind- mill and a formal garden. In 1945, Charlie Conacher of the 1929 Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team was the new owner of this property. Going back to early 1800, John and Sherwood Palmer settled on this land and built a stone house that is still standing. Manresa is at the top of Liverpool Road, north of Finch Avenue.

Intercounty club also making moves off the field DURHAM — The Oshawa Dodgers started quickly but soon fizzled out in Intercounty Baseball League play Saturday at Kinsmen Stadium. After opening up a 1-0 lead on the London Majors in the first in- ning, the Dodgers’ bats fell silent in a 3-1 defeat. Any hope of a doubleheader split were washed out by rain, leaving a game to be rescheduled. Junior call-up Mike Dahiroc scored from second on a Ryan Crotin RBI single to give Oshawa the early lead. Dodgers starting pitcher Ben Chisholm was tagged with the loss, giving up three runs (two earned) through 3-2/3 innings. London tied the game in the third inning and took the lead for good with two runs in the fourth. Ian Okorofsky went 3-1/3 in- nings of scoreless relief, giving up two hits while striking out two. Ryan Crotin ended up with two of the four Oshawa hits. Darren Sawyer, another junior call-up, and Ken Calway had the others. The Dodgers were busy off the field, signing right-handed pitcher Adam Garner. He threw a perfect game last season with the East Yo rk Juniors and subsequently was named Junior pitcher of the year. This season with Cerro Coso Community College, Adam led his team with 97.2 innings pitched and boasted a 3.41 ERA. The Dodgers have players from across Durham Region.

She died peacefully after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Elaine was the founder and executive chair of the board of Minacs Worldwide Inc., headquartered in Toronto. She is survived by her husband Julius Minacs, daughter Andrea Minacs, brother John DeVere and his wife Janis, sister Yvonne Agueci and her husband Frank, sister Michelle Allen and her husband Chris, sister Mandy DeVere, Aunt Maureen Warner (of North- olt, Middlesex) and numerous nieces and nephews. Elaine Minacs was born on March 8, 1945, in South Harrow, England. (She became a Canadian citizen years later.) She was the oldest child of John DeVere and his wife Margaret Fleming. From the age of 18, Elaine lived with family friends in Oshawa and worked at General Motors until her marriage to Julius Minacs in 1965. On March 12, 1973, Elaine and Julius welcomed daughter Andrea Elaine to the family. In September 1981, after Andrea started school, Elaine founded her own company, which was housed in the original Minacs home at 65 Albert Street in Oshawa. Originally a temporary staffing company, Minacs Worldwide, has enjoyed 25 years of continuous growth and now employs approximately 5,000 people, with offices in 20 locations in Canada, the United States, and Europe. Elaine transformed her company into an internationally-recognized organization that provides high-value BPO solutions centered on three core areas of service: contact centres, integrated market services, and back office administration. In 1999, she took the company from a privately-held corporation reporting revenues of $35.9 million in 1998, to a publicly-traded company (TSX: MXW) with reported revenues of $290.5 million in 2005. Over the years, Elaine's entrepreneurial skills have been nationally recognized at both the corporate and personal levels. Minacs has received numerous awards for its industry leadership and business success. Among these are: General Motors 2002 Supplier of the Year; YWCA of Greater Toronto 2002 Woman of Distinction for Entrepreneurship; Ernst and Young 2001 Entrepreneur of the Year; Canadian Professional Sales Association Hall of Fame 2001 Diamond Award for commitment, community involvement and generous charitable contributions; and 1993 Canadian Woman Entrepreneur of the Year for Quality. A strong supporter of children's charities, she was a past member of the Board of Directors of Kids' Help Phone. She has also been the recipient of a number of business excellence awards from the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce and the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade. Elaine was best known for her unfaltering spirit and entrepreneurial drive. She identified new markets where the company could grow and succeed. She faced challenges head-on and welcomed new opportunities to take Minacs into uncharted territory. Resting at the ARMSTRONG FUNERAL HOME, 124 King Street East, Oshawa 905-433-4711.

But it doesn’t have to be expensive. A new counter- top, kitchen cupboards, bath- room vanity, they can make a world of difference and trans- form your house into a dream home. The professionals at Countertop King are special- ists in kitchen and bathroom makeovers. Owners Jim Darroch and Rick Brunatti along with Sales Manager Lori Danks invite you to visit their showroom at 370 Mon- arch Ave. #17 in Ajax and take the fi rst step in beautifying your home. “When it comes to counter- tops we have the best selection around,” says Rick, “There are thousands of colours including 500 stock colours to choose from in a wide variety of textures with many looking and feeling like granite and marble without the expense of the real thing.” Come in and see and feel for yourself. Take your time and ask for advice on what would look good in your home. Once you make your selec- tion, Jim or Rick will come to your home and measure the area in your kitchen for the perfect fi t. Each installation takes no more than a day and is done personally by Jim and Rick. They will cut the hole for your sink and install it on top of the countertop or recess it under the countertop with a Corian ring. Check out the cutaway example in the showroom for a closer look at this very styl- ish choice of installation. “We can also install the plumbing and new taps along with the sink,” says Jim. “Your kitchen will look like new again.” Countertop King also does kitchen cabinetry refacing with new doors and hardware or they can do a complete set of kitchen cabinets for you. The bathroom is also a spe- cialty. Just ask about installing a new vanity in this very important room in your house.
