First Nations group wants Province to take closer look at Seaton By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer PICKERING — Pickering is being urged to push the Province to dig deeper into the Seaton lands. A delegation by David Grey Eagle Sandford, who has worked with the City on First Nations is- sues in Seaton, was made through his lawyer, Joseph Longo, at the June 26 Pickering council meet- ing. Mr. Longo told council there are various First Nations buri- al sites and long houses on the Seaton lands. “I would urge you to urge the provincial government to take a closer look at these lands,” Mr. Longo said. Seaton is envisioned as a model community of up to 70,000 people in central Pickering, com- plete with solar panels, wind power, geothermal homes and transit-supportive development. Mr. Sandford and Mr. Longo told council there are historically sig- nificant First Nations archeologi- cal sites in Seaton that need to be Pickering urged to apply pressure for burial grounds After years of using funds to balance budget, account is down to $1.2 million By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — After using more than $11 million to balance its bud- get this year, the Durham Catholic school board’s usable reserves are almost depleted. The Durham Catholic District School Board’s 2006/07 budget continued an eight-year trend of supplementing funding shortfalls with workable reserves, leaving only about $1.2 million for next year. The board has more than $81 million in its pupil accommodation reserve, but can only use it for capital ex- penses. “This year we used $11.2 million (from reserves) to balance our bud- get, last year we used $9.6 million to balance our budget,” said Patri- cia Manson, the board’s director of education, in an interview. “This is a concern and we will have to look at our budgets and how we will balance our budgets next year,” she said. “Primarily, the short- fall has been in the wage gap.” The budget was approved at the June 26 school board meeting, where trustees passed it without raising any issues. During the meet- ing, board chairman Trustee Mary Ann Martin said those involved went through it line by line during a finance committee meeting, which cut down on questions. Although the Ministry of Educa- tion recently announced a funding formula in this year’s grants to better recognize the cost of teacher sala- ries, money ended up being taken away from other envelopes, said Ms. Manson. She added the recogni- tion by the Province is positive, but it would be helpful to get more for special education and transporta- tion. “We have been able to add 13 Catholic board budget leaves little in reserves ✦ See Funding, Page 4 ✦ See Lawyer, Page 5 Proceeds Donated To The Oshawa Hospital Foundation DURHAM REGION MEDIA GROUP CHAMPIONSHIP PRIZES Hole in one wins a 2006 Buick Rendezvous from Mills Pontiac Buick GMC Over $5000 in prizes to be won including the Grand Prize of a $2000 Golf Package.

At the May meeting of the Durham Region Tran- sit (DRT) commission, a motion passed to offer no-charge bus fare for the Pickering Mayor’s Christ- mas lights tours, Canada Day celebrations at Kins- men Park and Ajax Home Week’s Waterfront Festi- val. A Dec. 6, 2005 finance and administration com- mittee report indicated regular charter rates be charged to the munici- palities to compensate for overtime requirements. But the DRT commission voted to make exceptions for nine events and asked staff to come forward with a new report considering the cost of no-charge days. At the June 21 DRT com- mission meeting, a report on DRT charter rates and policies recommended, based on a financial analy- sis, a rate of $80 for all charters. Oshawa Councillor Cathy Clarke introduced an amendment to have DRT provide free transit services for Oshawa’s Can- ada Day celebrations and on New Year’s Eve, which were not previously in- cluded in the exemptions, opening up the debate again. Clarington Mayor John Mutton said his munici- pality has arranged to pay for free bus events in that community. Any event where histori- cally there was free transit, Clarington has decided it will pay for the service. “There needs to be some consistency,” Mayor Mut- ton said. Councillors ar- gued that it is so- cially responsible to offer free bus service on New Year’s Eve. “As a member of finance (com- mittee), I don’t know how we are going to make budget for transit if we keep giving money away,” Scugog Mayor Mar- ilyn Pearce said, adding she did see merit in of- fering free bus service on New Year’s Eve. The first thing DRT did upon amalgamation was to offer free region-wide service on New Year’s Day. Pickering Councillor Maurice Brenner said in that act DRT set a prec- edent. Council again passed a motion to refer the mat- ter to the finance and ad- ministration committee to investigate the cost of of- fering both free New Year’s bus service and free service during community events such as Canada Day.

Of this year’s more than $229 mil- lion in estimated expenses, $173 million is slated for salaries and benefits. The board is receiving $199.6 million in legis- lative grants and the rest is being funded through other revenue, such as reserves, educational development charges and interest from capital funds. The budget also lists a new $13-mil- lion school foundation allocation grant, but Ms. Manson said it is not new dol- lars. “It is a new category for money; what they’ve done is taken the foundation grant and broken it into three areas,” she said. She added the category is supposed to be used to provide principals, vice-prin- cipals and secretaries to schools. “In Durham Catholic, we have full- time principals and secretaries in all of our schools,” Ms. Manson said. “Not re- ally new, and it doesn’t change the way we staff our schools.” A decreased enrolment projection of 327 students impacts funding as well. Al- though the change affects all of the grants provided to the board, it did receive a declining enrolment adjustment grant of $615,571 in consideration of costs that remain, even with less students. Ms. Manson said the board expects to main- tain the same level of students over the next few years.

In creating a three-way partnership among themselves, their child and their child’s teachers, parents can go a long way to support their child’s success in school. While most parents are living busy lives, there are many ways to stay attuned with your child’s education, and communication with the teachers and your child is key. Dr. Donna McGhie-Richmond, Educational Specialist, says it is critical that a parent becomes involved with their child’s education. “Communication on a regular basis between parents and teachers is critical to a student’s success. Parents need to understand what is expected at school and the teacher needs to understand what the child’s home life is like,” Dr. McGhie- Richmond says. “If they know what each environment looks like then they can work together instead of against each other.” She adds it is important that the teacher and parent understand the other’s role and perspective, culture, life experience and language. “Just like a teacher develops a relationship with a child, it is essential the teacher develops a relationship with the parent,” says Dr. McGhie-Richmond. “It is also important to avoid being judgmental and to openly discuss any issues a teacher may have with the parent, and vice versa. Always ask open-ended questions and have an open dialogue. That doesn’t just go for parents, but for teachers as well,” McGhie- Richmond says. Communication should not just exist between the parent and teacher. Parents should always have an open line of communication with their child to show support. It is also critical parents watch their wording and to avoid discouraging their child with negativity. Dr. McGhie-Richmond says it’s important to never begin a sentence with ‘but’ as it always dismisses what the other person just said. “Use ‘and’ instead — ‘and’ is more acknowledging and tells the other person that ‘this is what you hear and understand.’ It is much more inclusive,” she says. - News Canada Call Susan Fleming at 905-683-5110 ext. 231 to advertise THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 2, 2006 PAGE 5 Pdurhamregion.com Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo What a couple of cards PICKERING — Senior kindergarten students in Christine Dimitris’s class at Gandatsetiagon Public School made special greeting cards to be sold with proceeds going to the Children’s Wish Foundation.

Mr. Longo told council they will be filing an injunction against the Province because they believe there should be a full environmental as- sessment of the property. Most of the archeological studies of the area, according to Mr. Longo, were done prior to 1993 when stan- dards where different than they are today. The Province is moving too quickly through the process and Mr. Longo said he and his client support a full investigation into the lands. According to Mr. Longo, the Prov- ince has failed to engage in meaning- ful discussions with the aboriginal community with regard to the lands. A number of chiefs from the Beaver Bowl treaty, which he said encom- passes the Seaton lands, have been contacted and indicated they had not been consulted, said Mr. Longo. “The Province has a constitutional duty to consult,” he said. ✦ Lawyer from page 1 Lawyer argues archeological studies are now out of date durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 2, 2006 EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Everyone has a role to play in st aying safe Given plenty of opportunities in the past month, crimi- nals have been leaving their mark here in Ajax and Pickering. Last week, Durham Regional Police issued a safety advisory to residents in the wake of a rash of thefts and assaults, primar- ily in our communities and in Oshawa. These so-called crimes of opportunity are on the rise of late and have seen open or unlocked garages robbed and an increasing amount of group assaults, in particular. The days of being shocked that one can no longer leave their belongings unattended or doors unlocked in Ajax and Pickering are long over. Also gone are the days when you didn’t have to think about taking care before heading out for a walk. Compounding these issues is the fact that the summer months are notorious for increased criminal activity here in Ajax and Pickering. We’ve heard plenty in the past of violent assaults and other crimes injecting fear into neighbourhoods. Police are offering a number of tips for residents, from closing and locking garage doors, even if you’re at home in the back yard or downstairs, to using well-lit routes or sidewalks when out for a walk, and walking around, not through, groups. They’re even reminding people about other basic safety practises such as buckling up when driving, wearing a helmet when biking and always protecting PINs. We long ago lost our innocence, so to speak, and by now we should be well-versed in how we can help tackle the issues once again confronting us. Sure, we expect our police to play a lead role in wiping out crime, but they can only get so far without community assistance. When you see criminal activities or something suspicious, make a call and maybe it’ll be the final piece in a police investigation. When something’s not right in your neighbourhood, again, work with officers. The only way we curb the fear is by taking action. First and foremost, stay safe this summer. But do yourself and your neighbours a favour, too, and call police if you have any information about criminal activity. Our community is only as safe as we make it. Malls the target of illegal dumping To the editor: Well here we go again with another stupid decision to pick up garbage every two weeks to save the taxpayers a few dollars so our so-called elected officials can waste it in other areas. Durham Region is becoming a dumping ground for garbage everywhere thanks to the high fees to use the dump. Any space that’s not totally visible will be subject to dumping. Shopping malls around town have people leave ‘crap’ around their dump- sters, or if we are really lucky they make the effort to actually place the illegally dumped ‘crap’ in the dumpster. If the mall owners get real smart, they install a fence that the dumpers will just toss over on the top of the unit or inside the compound. I did not pursue a career in science, but I do know that mag- gots become visible in a few days. Now we are giving them a couple of weeks. Maggots equal flies that eventually lead to mice and rats. Our mall must now have our bins emptied twice a week just to cover the illegal dumping and with the new gar- bage pickup regulations we may have to install cameras or hire security that may catch the odd person on their patrol. Happy dumping.

Meanwhile, hundreds are on transplant waiting list I have this thing about life. I like it. No, I like it a lot. But if something were to happen to me and I died, I have let it be known that I would like to donate any or- gans I have to those who may need them. Check my wallet and you’ll find a signed organ donor card. My reason for reaching this decision was simple -- if I’m dead it isn’t like I’m going to need my organs anymore so why not help someone who can put them to good use and enjoy a little bit more of this thing we call life? Of course there are people out there who have religious or moral objections to donating their organs in the event that they die late in life or before their time. This is, after all, a personal deci- sion and nobody can force you to do something you don’t want to do. It wasn’t until this week I realized just how important organ donation can be and how short in supply organ dona- tions are in this province. According to the Canadian Council on Donation and Transplantation nearly 1,800 people are waiting for an organ transplant in Ontario. In 2004, 122 of them died. This week though The Trillium Gift of Life Network, the provincial agency in charge of organ and tissue donations, announced they were moving toward organ donation after cardiac death. Prior to this organs were only trans- planted after the patient was declared brain dead. What’s the difference, you’re asking? Well, if you’re brain dead, you’re gone, kaput, finito. Cardiac death does not necessarily mean you’re a goner. In some cases people have been resusci- tated after the heart has stopped beat- ing for five minutes. You’re likely dead but there’s no guarantee another shock from the paddles won’t revive you. So here’s the dilemma. If I’m on the stretcher and my heart stops, do I want the doctor to give up? No way. Like I said, I’m enjoying my time here. Somehow I think this new change isn’t going to make the choice of organ donation easier for anyone.

Ky le Pearce-O’Brien, of Eastdale CVI in Oshawa, was this year’s win- ner of the $1,000 Grant Yeo Award for having achieved success despite his learning disability and autism. Ky le was elated to find out such an award existed. “There are people who are willing to reach out their hands and grab up people who aren’t part of the norm,” said Kyle. “When you think of autism, you think about those poor kids in mental hospitals lying in their beds drooling. I have autism, autism -- there you go, you saw it right there.” During his high school career, Ky le participated in extracurricular activities including the improv and art clubs, annual cabarets, the Sears Drama Festival and school produc- tions, and in the school’s daily an- nouncements. He will attend the pre-media program at Durham Col- lege. Also from Eastdale CVI, Laura Gooding received the $1,000 Pauline Laing Scholarship for demonstrat- ing excellence, outstanding ability and dedication in the arts. Laura will be attending Queen’s University for the bachelor of arts program. Alexandra Arsenault of Dr. F.J. Donevan CI in Oshawa was the re- cipient of the $1,000 David Snod- don Scholarship. She has been a member of the school’s senior band, volunteers in the library, and oper- ated her own online business of de- signing and creating websites. She’ll attend York University’s film studies program this fall. From Whitby’s Anderson CVI, Fa thia Mbarak received the $500 Human Rights and Peace Scholar- ship Award for being an outstanding individual and humanitarian who inspires others with her energy, en- thusiasm and leadership. She was a founding member of Anderson’s Culture of Peace committee, a key organizer of the school’s Tsunami Disaster Relief Effort and more. She will study political science at the University of Toronto. From Ajax High School, Sarah Ha- mill received the $1,000 K.D. Mun- roe Scholarship for achieving good grades throughout her high school years while persevering through the pain associated with juvenile rheu- matoid arthritis. “I’d just like to thank the board for giving me the opportunity to put this to good use and the entire re- source staff at the Ajax High School helped me get through high school, thank you,” said Sarah. During her schooling, she also worked part-time to save for college, raised awareness about her physi- cal disability and assisted other stu- dents academically. She’s attending Durham College’s 911-emergency response program in the fall. The 2006 Chairperson’s Scholar- ship worth $1,000 was awarded to Travis McGarrity of J. Clarke Rich- ardson CI in Ajax for his leadership and good citizenship. Travis has been a model citizen and inspired many students through his strong leadership skills and interest in representing student issues. His in- volvement includes student govern- ment, music, the Culture of Peace Club, Students Together Against Racism, the Model United Nations Club and more. Travis will be at- tending Queen’s University in Sep- tember to study political science.

O’CONNOR Justin Crimless’s class was studying Vikings and the 11-year-old just wasn’t getting it. He wasn’t getting any of it. And he was really upset. “Justin had been in special educa- tion his entire life but things had been going downhill,” says his mother Anne Masson. She contacted the school. “Poof ! They gave me an interview the very next day with the principal, vice principals, teachers. ‘He’s not progress- ing,’ they said. They wanted to put him in the multiple exceptionalities class. Basically, it’s where kids go when you can’t do anything with them.” “I said, ‘N o, we’re not doing that.’ And then she called Wasdell Centre for Innovative Learning. The vice-principal started asking Anne questions. “‘Does he do this?’ I said yeah. Then she said, ‘Oh, I’ll bet he does this.’ And I said yeah! And then she said, ‘I bet he can’t do this.’ And I said, Yes! She knows my kid!” Anne told Justin about Wasdell. He was happier, just knowing he might not return to his old school. “Even stand- ing in a brand-new school, not knowing anyone or anything, he look ed taller,” says his mother. Previous peer abuse “Justin arrived on our doorstep in March 2005,” says Wasdell principal Elizabeth Moxley-Paquette. “He was bullied at his previous school. He was a very gentle personality, a gentle spirit but it was because he had fear.” No one realized how deeply fearful Justin was until a therapist took the students through an exercise using concentric rings to illustrate personal boundaries. “Justin took that idea but shifted it, and it was an interesting shift. He drew a series of co ncentric rings that filled the page, putting little sticks around each one of those circles--thousands of sticks. He had enough courage to show it to his mom. “He was able to open up to her for the first time. Each one of the sticks repre- sented something bad that someone had done to him at the other sc hool. It broke her heart. It broke all of our hearts,” said Moxley-Paquette. “So he came as a beaten-up child in many ways, at least emotionally. He relaxed here, when he saw that it was a safe environment.” “He became a man with a briefcase and he worked very h ard. He could see that this school understood him better. His mom saw instant changes.” Masson said, “Within three weeks, he was telling time. Then he started asking me about politics. Now he’s into coin collecting, wanting to know about the history of the coins. It’s like a dam has broken and the waters are rushing through.” His path is not complete, but in a little over a year, he’s made tremen- dous gains. When a c hild has learning disabili- ties, the child becomes ‘stuck.’, Mox- ley-Paquette explained, usua l l y falling further and further behind.

If you have been wearing the same dental prosthesis for more than fi ve years without having it checked by your denturist, you are running unnecessary risks. Too many people believe that dentures are good for over 20 years. Nothing could be further from the truth! Th e removable prosthesis is made of a hard, rigid material. Your face, mouth and jaw, on the other hand, change over the years. Because it can not adapt to these changes and because artifi cial teeth wear down with time, a prosthesis Caution: Dentures over fi ve years old could have damaging effects cannot do its job eff ectively for more than about fi ve years. Th is reality can have devastating consequences that are of- ten invisible and imperceptible to the wearer of a worn-out denture. Here is a short list of the most harmful possible eff ects suff ered by wearers of prothesis more than fi ve years old: • Softening of the tissues • Painful irritated tissues • More labourious chewing and diffi cult digestion • Headaches, earaches, neck pain and joint problems • Sagging mouth, point chin and prematurely old face • Accelerated resorption of the bone And this is only a partial list!

In recognition of his contribu- tion to post-secondary education in Durham, the retiring Dr. Po- lonsky has been named Durham College’s president emeritus and the campus’s commons area has also been named after him. Dr. Polonsky recently retired as pres- ident from Durham College and is preparing to leave the same post at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. “I love this space,” said Dr. Polonsky, standing in the grassy area of the campus commons, near the reflecting pond. “On the average day you’ll see dozens or hundreds of students throwing footballs and frisbees, it really is an alive place.” He’s thrilled that particular area was chosen to be named after him and suspects it was done so because it’s usually full of students. “It’s no secret that I have a love affair with students,” Dr. Polon- sky said. Lorraine Sunstrum-Mann, chairwoman of Durham Col- lege’s board of governors, said the campus commons naming was a shared decision between the college and UOIT. “In a very symbolic way, it inte- grated both Durham College and UOIT,” said Ms. Sunstrum-Mann, adding Dr. Polonsky and his wife, Lois, donated the chimes heard hourly in the commons. Also symbolic is the president emeritus designation. “The Durham College board absolutely was delighted to be- stow that title on Gary,” said Ms. Sunstrum-Mann. Dr. Polonsky said the honour is “lovely. “It’s nice that I’ll be associated with the campus in some con- tinuous way. “I am going to do a little bit of teaching, but there’s always work to do that presidents have to hand off to someone they trust.” He said whether they want land assembled or a chapel built, he’d be pleased to help the new presidents with projects. The university is only three years old and there’s still lots to do, such as create programs, graduate programs, residence spaces and more campus buildings, Dr. Po- lonsky said. “There’s just a tonne of work and if the new presidents want to hand off some of t hat work to an old hand, I’d be pleased to help as they wish me to,” he said. Dr. Polonsky added all the at- tention he’s been getting in his last few weeks on the job hasn’t been comfortable. “It’s not why I dedicated my 42 years of service,” he said, adding he is very thankful to the com- munity for all of its support. For his contribution to post- secondary education, Dr. Polon- sky also recently received the Association of Canadian Com- munity Colleges’ Distinguished Service Award. The honour is given to members who have contributed to the development of the college system in Canada through exceptional service re- sulting in a significant impact at the regional and national levels.

The Region advises residents to, when possible, refuse them at the point of purchase — or reuse them. Also, some retailers have take-back programs in place. DURHAM — To make the tran- sition to organic waste recycling, the Region has delivered 132,000 green bin kits to residents in Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Pickering. “We are now trying to divert as much material from waste as we can so that we can recover and reuse a lot of the material that formerly went to landfill,” Cliff Cur- tis said. Mr. Curtis, the region’s commis- sioner of works, said the kits were delivered in mid-June. Inside each kit is a smaller con- tainer for use under the kitchen sink, an instructional DVD, sam- ple biodegradable compostable liner bags and a waste collection calendar. The green bin is meant for all food waste. Paired with blue box collection, this move, the Region hopes, will divert as much waste as possible from landfill. The leftover garbage will be picked up once every two weeks and to encourage residents to separate their garbage a maximum of four bags will be picked up from each home.

As manager of transportation planning and research for the re- gion, he is the man responsible for overseeing the creation of a plan to deal with Durham’s increasing road congestion. “It is a big concern. One that we take very seriously,” Mr. Jaganna- than said. Over the next 25 years, Durham is expecting a boom that will see the population swell to a projected 1,050,600. And with more people living in the region, more jobs will be created both downtown and in the northern outskirts of Durham’s collection of towns and cities. In fact, the region expects to increase local employment from 180,000 in 2005 to 398,900 in 2031. This has regional officials wor- ried about traffic congestion as a growing population puts additional strain on already busy local roads during peak periods, such as the morning and evening commutes. The solution for Durham, Mr. Ja- gannathan believes, lies in a heavy document resting on the table be- fore him. Titled the Transportation Master Plan, the document out- lines the region’s strategy for deal- ing with the increasing demand. “O ne of the fundamental prem- ises of the plan is that you can’t just keep building roads,” he said. “There’s demand and supply. We’ve always been focusing on supply, but you have to manage your de- mand, too.” The goal to managing demand is promoting transportation options -- alternatives to get as many single occupancy vehicles off the road as possible during peak periods. To achieve this, Mr. Jagannathan and his team will be targeting local em- ployers. “We realize that employers are the key,” he said. “It is the employer who can make a big difference.” Ryan Lanyon, program director at the Smart Commute Association, agrees, but says getting employers to understand that is difficult. “The problem is that employ- ers don’t see the commute to work as their responsibility,” Mr. Lanyon said. “But, in fact, the experience of the commute directly affects the employee’s performance.” An employee who arrives at work rested is going to function much better than someone who has spent their morning battling traffic, he adds. So what can employers do? Mr. Lanyon says there are many simple, no-cost methods that busi- nesses can do to help their em- ployees make better commuting choices: relaxing the dress code to allow commuters who walk or cycle to wear comfortable clothing, adjusting work schedules so that employees are starting and finish- ing work outside of rush hour, and offering telework options that allow employees to work from home. Wo rk schedules can also be ad- justed so that employees work four 10-hour days per week, thus lessen- ing the amount of cars on the road each day, he said. Employers can become even more involved in the transporta- tion needs of their employees by rewarding those that choose bet- ter options by, for example, giving preferential parking to employees that carpool, providing safe storage space for bicycles, or charging for parking and putting the revenue towards transit subsidies. Mr. Jagannathan says that solv- ing the region’s gridlock problem starts with each employer doing his part. After all, he adds, congestion-free roads make good business sense. “Deliveries come in on time and employees are not late for work,” he said. “Transportation costs de- crease. It is a benefit to the employ- ers.” Although Mr. Jagannathan hopes local businesses will eventually take the lead on transportation issues, he says the region is going to take the initiative to making it easier for people to get to work. “In terms of commuter options, we really have a bundle of options. One is transit and that’s going to be the key one. The other is alterna- tive work arrangements (such as teleworking). And the third is more active transportation,” he said. The region is currently creating a cycling plan for the next 10 to 20 years that will identify a cycling network that may include roads with bike lanes, paved shoulders for bikes, and safe bike parking. “People are looking for incentives to bike,” Mr. Jagannathan said. But he conceded that asking people to make active transporta- tion their primary method of get- ting to work is not feasible. “The biggest bang for the buck is going to be transit,” he said. “You can talk about other modes, like biking and walking, but given the climate that we live in they are not that practical.” Getting there II Often overshadowed by long-distance commuters who head to work in other parts of the GTA, Durham commuters are responsible for the increasing congestion on regional roads. What can local commuters, their employers, and the Region do to ease the burden of congestion as Durham’s population grows? Commuting: Evaluating the options Walk: Most people can easily walk 1/4 mile in five minutes. Walking is also recommended as a safe exercise for all types of people. Cycle: Riding a bike to work is recommended for trips up to 10 kilometres each way. In areas of high congestion, it is faster to bike than to drive if you’re only going five kilometres. Tr ansit: Under the new inte- grated Durham Region Transit, a one-way trip anywhere in the region costs only $2.50. Carpool: The Carpool Zone is a GTA-wide system that matches commuters with others going in the same direction. Telework: Advancing technol- ogy means more people can now work from home, decreasing the stress on the roads and increas- ing productivity. TRENDset Note ‘The Region faces considerable challenges in achieving its transportation vision. Growth pressures, lagging employment rates, entrenched travel behaviour, deteriorating infrastructure conditions, and a rising rate of out commuting will need to be overcome.’ — TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN, DURHAM REGION, 2005. With the population of Durham Region expected to grow to 850,000 in the next 15 years, the amount of people using local roads is projected to increase by 94 per cent. To deal with this increase, the Region is implementing a transporta- tion management plan with the hope of diverting 15 per cent of the traffic from single-occupancy vehicles to other modes of trans- portation, such as walking, cycling, and public transit.

Go north, that is. As well as east, west and south to visit the events and attractions within the region’s bor- ders, rather than trekking off to desti- nations that are often many expensive kilometres away. There are plenty of things to see and do in the roughly 2,600 square kilome- tres in Durham. So here’s a look at some of the things seniors might like to do -- and perhaps take the grandchildren along to enjoy the outing. A principal attraction in Durham is the fact the region is situated along the Lake Ontario shoreline, which means sandy beaches in plenty of areas. While there are still some days when the heat and humidity are at their highest and the water is not at its best for swimming, that doesn’t prevent folks from having fun in the sand, especially the grandchil- dren. And (except for the hotdogs and ice cream) it’s free. If you have a boat, bait is the main cost involved in fishing -- and if you’re not a boat owner, there are rentals available at most marinas. Another free attraction is the multi- use Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail, which meanders through Durham on its way from Niagara-on-the-Lake to points east of the regional border. Designed for safe use by pedestrians as well as cyclists or roller bladers, it features barrier-free access to its trails, parks, boardwalks and lookouts in a peaceful and relaxing countryside atmosphere. To the north, the Oak Ridges Moraine beckons hikers who want some good exercise as well as those who just want to give the dog some exercise while they amble along. The Oak Ridges Trail Asso- ciation conducts organized walks -- slow to moderate in pace, depending on the occasion and for some, “well-mannered dogs are welcome.” For day trips or overnighters, campers or RV owners, Darlington Provincial Park at Bowmanville offers visitors a bonus in the tiny cemetery and log cabin which remains on site as a legacy of American settlers who fled to Canada in the 1790s. Offering beaches, bird-watching, picnic and activity areas, as well as walking and hiking trails, it’s also wheelchair acces- sible. Here’s a look at a selection of some specific and localized attractions in a few communities: PICKERING: Pickering Museum Vil- lage is a living history museum featur- ing costumed interpreters and more. In north Pickering, the Seaton Hiking Trails offer The Heritage, the Wilderness and the Walking Trails. Weekly waterfront concerts will feature a variety of attrac- tions including the Peter Smith Jazz Quartet, the Pickering Community Con- cert Band, the Brian Rose Little Big Band and the Muhtadi World Drums. Other events include the Seniors Pro- vincial Playoffs (Ontario Lawn Bowling Association) at the Pickering Lawn Bowl- ing Club, July 25; Dog Agility Trials at the K9 Klubhouse, July 22-23 or the Clare- mont Lions 7th Annual Rodeo, Spirit of the West Weekend community fund- raiser featuring The Dodge Rodeo Tour, July 28-30.

Page 17 Ajacian set for big races Joey McColm behind the wheel in CASCAR’s Super Series, Sportsman classes By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — Ajax’s Joey McColm knows its a big weekend to fur- ther prove his mettle behind the wheel. The rookie race car driver in the Canadian CASCAR (Cana- dian Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) series -- the Canuck equivalent to the popular U.S.- based NASCAR series -- will put the pedal to the metal in Barrie this Canada Day long weekend, where he will race in two classes of CASCAR -- the Super Series, the 300-lap main event, as well as the sportsman class, a 100-lap race, at Barrie Speedway. McColm, who, at the tender age of 20, is the second-young- est driver in the Super Series and the youngest in sportsman, had a rough outing in his CASCAR debut in the sportsman series at Mosport June 17. After qualifying well, he experienced engine problems just 20 laps into the 100-lap race. “We saved the engine just in time. It was overheating,” says Mc- Colm of the race. “We had to shut the engine down and call it a day.” McColm vows, however, that he expects a much better experience in Barrie, including his first race in the Super Series. “We’ve been working on the cars all week and I think we’ve solved the problem,” he says. “We’re ex- cited. Our sponsors have so much tied into it, so I want to do well.” Only a year ago, McColm was racing in a southern Ontario race series in the late model division, finishing in the top five in all his racing and being named rookie of the year. His success there didn’t go unnoticed as it catapulted him into the driver’s seat of the CAS- CAR series this summer, picking up sponsors along the way. Atto Insurance sponsors McColm in the Super Series, while RPM (Re- store, Preserve and Maintain) is his sportsman series sponsor. “Basically, that’s how I got no- ticed,” says McColm. “Most guys don’t jump up this fast.” McColm says he knows he’ll have his work cut out for him in the ultra-competitive Super Series at Barrie. There, 30 of the top driv- ers in Canada will be on the start- ing grid. “I just want to finish and be responsible. Being in my first race in an elite series you want to gain the respect of the other drivers and not step on anyone’s toes. Our goal is to be in the top 15. That would be a great race if we can accom- plish that.” Meanwhile, in the sportsmen series, McColm believes he’s got a top-five car in the field of 20 other cars, so he’s banking on a top-five finish aboard his Pontiac Grand Prix. When he’s not working on his cars, he’s attending classes at the University of Ontario Institute of Te chnology (UOIT), where he’s studying automotive engineering. What’s his next step after CAS- CAR? Conquering NASCAR, of course. “I would like to try to go down south and try to get noticed down there,” says McColm. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Joey McColm, 20, of Ajax, is racing in his rookie season in the CASCAR se- ries, the Canadian equivalent of NASCAR. He’s racing in the CASCAR Super Series and Sportsman’s Series in Barrie this Canada Day long weekend. [ Cycling ] Claremont man to bike for 48 hours non-stop DURHAM — Dean Hachey plans to ride around in circles next month. The 40-year-old has been a volunteer with the Canadian Electric Wheelchair Hockey Association (CEWHA) for 15 years, and the presi- dent of the CEWHA Toronto Division since April of this year. As a tribute to the CEWHA play- ers, past and present, and to raise awareness and funds for the league, Mr. Hachey will start biking at 6 p.m. on Friday, July 21 on a 10-kilometre loop in the Durham Forest in Ux- bridge, hoping to complete 600 kms over 48 hours. There are a number of ways to support Mr. Hachey in this endeavour and raise money. For a $20 donation, ride one loop with Mr. Hachey in the Durham Forest at any time, day or night. Sponsor Mr. Hachey per kilo- metre or donate a flat amount by visiting www.cewha.ca to obtain a pledge form, or call Dana Aube at the CEWHA League Office at 416- 757-8544. Mail cheques, payable to CEWHA, to 235 Yorkland Blvd., Suite 904, North York, ON, M2J 4Y8. Tax receipts will be issued for a contribu- tion of $15 and up. For corporate sponsorship contact Aube at the aforementioned number. If a friend or family member would benefit from playing, volunteering, or be- coming a fan of this unique form of hockey, again, call Aube, or e-mail daube@whitecapcanada.com. [ Baseball ] Sox bantams ‘B’ champions PICKERING — The Pickering Red Sox minor bantam ‘AAA’ rep baseball team put up a good fight against older competition to capture the consolation crown at the recent Belleville tournament. Playing in the bantam-level tournament against competition a year older, the Red Sox nonetheless qualified for the consolation ‘B’ final and scored a 7-6 extra-innings vic- tory over Hull, Quebec. In earlier games, the Sox lost by a run to the Ontario Tigers, a bantam-elite team, and won by a run over the Hamilton Cobras bantam ‘AAA’ team to put them in the final. Next up for the Pickering Minor Bantams is a return trip to Gatineau, Quebec for The Aylmer Bantam Tournament to face some of the best Quebec 15-year-olds over the Canada Day long weekend. Sports briefs JULY 2, 2006 Ajax guard leads the way in wins over Argentina, Puerto Rico AJAX — Ajax’s Kalisha Keane continues to be a leader on the court for the Canadian junior women’s basketball team that improved its record to 2-0 at the 2006 FIBA Americas U18 Cham- pionship for Women in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Backed by a team-high 18- point performance by Keane, Canada held off a late rally by Argentina to win the game, 64- 53. The 6-foot, 1-inch guard, who plays her high school ball at Sinclair Second- ary School in Whitby, noted the team’s abil- ity to hit from the free-throw stripe down the stretch was a key to the victory. “When we broke their press we weren’t looking to attack, which hurt us,” stated Keane. “In the end, our free throws were what helped us pull out the win.” Argentina went on an 11-0 run in the fourth quarter to pull within four points, 50-46, with just over three minutes left in the match. But Keane broke the offensive slump with a three- pointer and Canada sealed the game from the free-throw line. Keane was also a key per- former for Canada in the tourna- ment-opening 81-41 victory over Puerto Rico. She paced Canada with 14 points and recorded the game’s only double-double with 10 re- bounds. Canada has been placed in pool ‘B’ for the qualification championship with Puerto Rico, Argentina and Costa Rica while the USA, Paraguay and Brazil are in pool ‘A’. The top two finishing teams from each group will advance to the July 1 medal semifinals while the bottom two will play in the classification semi-finals. The finals and the final clas- sification games are on July 2. The top four teams from the tournament qualify for the 2007 FIBA Junior World Champion- ships from July 25 to Aug. 8.

Jen Provan and Luttmer finished 13th in the women’s 470 Olympic Class at the prestigious European 470 Championships recently. This Grade 1 event (highest rank- ing next to the Olympics) attracted 52 competitors from more than 25 countries and consisted of seven races over seven days. Provan and Luttmer’s’ re- sults in the se- ries consisted of 13, 4, 13, 1, 6 and 15 – just three places shy of qualifying for the finals (medal race), for the top 10 teams. “Jen and I are really happy with our performance at the European Cham- pionships and are starting to perform consistently in all conditions,” said Luttmer. “The International Sailing Federation (ISAF) released the rank- ings today and we were ranked fourth in the world. It looks like our hard work is starting to pay off.” The duo will next race at the Pre Olympics and the 470 World Cham- pionships, both in China this fall, where they are hoping to place in the top 10. Meanwhile, Bernard Luttmer - - who represented Canada in laser sailing at the 2004 Olympic Summer Games in Athens — raced to a 20th- place finish at the world-class Kieler Regatta in Kiel, Germany.

RENOCanada™ (a new concept in home improvement) has evolved from one of Toronto’s best known plumbing busi- nesses -- The Plumbing Mart. They have updated and changed their identity to better represent their expertise and focus on quality home improvements. Specializing in Bathroom and Kitchen Makeovers, RENOCanada™ is a single source for homeowners who want to improve the quality of their life at home....without moving. Their unique range of services and experience makes renovation easy, practical and affordable. The new Inspiration Centres, currently being developed, will provide an exciting and educational environment that helps homeowners to visualize and plan their dreams. What has not changed is the com- pany’s commitment to great service and industry setting standards, like their fi ve year warranty backed by the most experi- enced renovation consultants and craftsmen in the business. For thousands of local area homeowners, it has always been the people and personal attention that set this company apart from other renovators. RENOCanada’s staff understand reno- vation from the customer’s perspective. They know that home improvement is not about the house, it’s about self improvement (Life- style), it’s personal. The company describes their primary customers as “discerning” homeowners. These are people that don’t necessarily have big budgets but who feel that Bathrooms and Kitchens need to be exciting regardless of budget. They have higher expectations; demanding seamless service from inspira- tion to installation and an overall experience that is hassle-free, educational and reward- ing.
