Wa rd 3 City Councillor David Pickles introduced a motion at the June 19 council meeting requesting that the federal transport minister ensure the due diligence review of the Greater Toronto Airports Au- thority’s plan provides an opportu- nity for Pickering council and inter- ested members of the community to participate. “We made a very important rec- ommendation that members of the community should get to have their say,” he said. Coun. Pickles had previously introduced -- and council passed -- motions asking the federal gov- ernment to include public consul- tation in the review. He wanted to reiterate their position for the new Conservative government. Council again supported the mo- tion. “This is an issue that is not going to go away. It must be dealt with and allow the community to be involved,” said Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson. “These issues have to be dealt with and Council now supports proposed building By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — Reversing an earlier decision, Durham on Wednesday voted to go forward with a proposed $15-million material recovery facil- ity. “There are two or three very good reasons to follow the (staff) recom- mendation,” Ajax Mayor Steve Par- ish said at the July 5 meeting of Dur- ham council. “We need this facility.” The facility is required to handle Durham’s recyclables, which are ex- pected to increase by 20 per cent with the implementation of the green bin program. But at the final stage of the ten- dering process in June, council ap- proval, questions were raised about the winning bid for the design, build and operation of a new Durham Re- gion material recovery facility and the tendering process. “It was apparent to me three weeks ago that by not following the recommendation we were exposing ourselves to major liabilities,” Mayor Parish said. “It is the right thing to do.” The request for proposals for the facility, to be located on Garrard Road in Whitby, went out two years ago and closed in fall 2005. There were three bids submitted. However the bids by Waste Man- agement of Canada Corp. and Miller Group were reported to have failed the technical portion. The third bid, which staff recommended council accept, was from Metro Municipal Recycling. The staff recommendation was approved at the committee level but rejected at council in June after rep- resentatives from the three compa- nies made presentations to council, two of them questioning the fairness of the tendering process.

Mr. Cannon’s communications director said in mid-May she couldn’t confirm or deny if that was true. “It is my understand- ing the federal minister of transportation is not going to provide that opportunity to the public to have input,” Coun. Pickles said. “It’s a very important omission by the federal government that they’re not going to allow public input.” He asked for and received council’s unanimous sup- port to send a strong mes- sage to the government. “It really does speak to the issues we have been talking about for the past 30 years and mainly that the federal government didn’t think about what the people want- ed,” said Ward 2 City Coun- cillor Doug Dickerson. He said the government needs to be open to hearing from the community on this issue. Works commissioner Cliff Curtis and finance commis- sioner Jim Clapp, at the July 5 meeting, made a detailed presentation to council about the process. They explained it was a two-envelope tendering pro- cess, with each proposal hav- ing to pass a technical grade before a financial envelope was opened. The technical element included the overall proposal plus management, company experience, project and equipment design and functionality, schedule vi- ability, operational function and health and safety. It is the same process used when the Region tendered the contract to build its new headquarters. Following a lengthy in- camera discussion, council voted 19-7 in favour of award- ing the contract to Metro. Two councillors were absent. ✦ Feds from page 1 ✦ Durham from page 1 Durham changes course Feds need to allow ‘input’ By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer AJAX — About 50 jobs are landing in Ajax with the help of a $5 million provincial loan. The loan is to Messier- Dowty Inc. and will help the company as it sets up an In- tegrated Landing Gear Sys- tems Centre of Excellence at its Ajax location. Joseph Cordiano, the pro- vincial economic develop- ment and trade minister, said the centre will enable the company to “develop lead- ing-edge landing gear” and keep Messier-Dowty com- petitive in the global market- place. Mr. Cordiano was at the company on Thursday to make the loan announce- ment to company officials and employees, and Ajax of- ficials. The loan is part of the gov- ernment’s Advanced Manu- facturing Investment Strate- gy (AMIS) and is one of three the Province has announced. The other two companies are Diamond Aircraft Industries, in London, and Procter and Gamble, in Brockville. “The three companies will leverage $180 million in total investments,” Mr. Cordiano said. “When I look at what you are doing here, creating high-quality advanced land- ing gear, it will create 50 jobs and hundreds of workers will know their jobs are secure.” Colin Fernie, a group vice-president, said Messier- Dowty was “excited” to be among the first companies receiving aid. “The aerospace sector is truly a global industry. This allows us to source goods and services globally,” he stated. “As a world leader, Messier- Dowty has built a reputation on innovation and technical leadership. To maintain that, we have to invest in the fu- ture.” Developing new technolo- gies is one of the “ongoing challenges” the company faces, he noted. The investment would “improve productivity and (the ability to) compete in the global marketplace.” Mayor Steve Parish said the loan ‘s “great” news for Ajax and Messier-Dowty. “It’s important Messier- Dowty stays a leader,” said Mayor Parish. “It’s the type of jobs we want in Ajax. It’s very much a good news story for Messier-Dowty and for Ajax.” New aviation jobs land in Durham Mike Pochwat/ News Advertiser photo Messier-Dowty received a $5 million loan from the Province to set up a Landing Gear Systems Centre of Excellence.

Durham Chairman Roger Anderson, also president of the Association of the Municipalities (AMO) of Ontario, host- ed the organization’s board of directors for a board meeting. “As the association that represents all municipalities in Ontario, we are here trying to make sure the issues that are important to us as municipalities con- tinue to be important to the Province of Ontario,” Mr. Anderson said. “Every issue that affects the local municipali- ties is dealt with here one way or an- other.” The board members gathered at Deer Creek Golf and Banquet Facility in Ajax last week. “(Ontario Municipal Employees’ Retirement System) and the cost of OMERS, and the cost of doing business, will be front and centre at this meeting here today,” Mr. Anderson said. The group also discussed the new municipal act, the so-called fiscal im- balance between the Province and mu- nicipalities, health boards and AMO’s annual budget. But, it wasn’t all work and no play. Following their meetings, Mr. Ander- son invited all of the members to his home. “I have worked with them for two years, we have done an awful lot in the last two years,” Mr. Anderson said. “So, tonight I am going to barbecue.” They also spent time in downtown Port Perry for some shopping, on a wine tour, and in Whitby and Oshawa. “They have gotten a good idea of what is going on in the region,” Mr. Anderson said. “ And they got to drive around in one of our new buses.” Anderson shows of f Durham to AMO colleagues Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo She keeps chipping in WHITEVALE — Joan Store chips onto a green at the Whitevale Golf Club during the Longest Day of Golf Fundraiser.

Ericka Swaby has raised more than $21,000 for the Canadian Cancer So- ciety over the last two years. “Her determination just makes you want to do more,” says Tracy Sankat, manager of financial services at TD Bank’s Pickering Town Centre location. “Her spirit has inspired our branch staff in many ways.” The 36-year-old first met Ms. Swaby two years ago while at work. The dedicated campaigner can- vassed family, friends and even pa- trons at her doctor’s office and out- side a local liquor store. She earned the award for the top individual amount in pledges at the recent Relay for Life event location in Oshawa, which garnered in excess of $500,000. The 28-year-old started in Janu- ary, raising more than $14,000 for the 12-hour overnight relay event in early June. That’s twice the amount she managed to raise last year. Ms. Swaby is setting the bar even higher for herself next year. A slew of serious health problems from the tender age of eight years old incited Ms. Swaby to vow to help oth- ers as best she could. “I hope that my small contribution in this world will make a great differ- ence in the lives of many,” she says. That kind of attitude is what makes people such as Ms. Sankat admire Ms. Swaby. “She is a delightful, caring and giv- ing person who consistently gives back to her community and those in need,” says Ms. Sankat. Ms. Swaby has thus far channelled her efforts towards organizations such as Epilepsy Durham, Rouge Val- ley Cardiac Care and the Canadian society’s annual Relay for Life event, though none of her efforts have been as fruitful as the one for the society. More than 60,000 participants across Ontario were expected to take part in the Relay for Life events. More than $38 million has been raised in Ontario alone since the event began in 1999. Alongside fundraising, Ms. Swaby cites reading, walking and doing crossword puzzles amongst her list of hobbies. Sw aby ‘small contribution’ makes big difference Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Ericka Swaby has proven to be an effective community fundraiser, generating more than $14,000 for the recent Relay For Life event in Oshawa. Last year the Pickering woman raised more than $7,000 for the same event. DURHAM — To help deal with head lice, the Catholic school board is providing a management framework. During its June 26 meeting, the Durham Catholic District School Board had its third and final reading of a policy dealing with lice, nits and their associated eggs. Requirements under the policy include providing school staff, students and parents with information regarding prevention, identification and treat- ment. If lice or nits are discovered on a student, their parent or guardian is required to treat and remove the lice and nits before a return to school is allowed. Board announces new education superintendent DURHAM — With a long list of credentials on her resume, Carolyn Anco has been appointed superin- tendent of education for the Durham Catholic District School Board. The board approved the appoint- ment of Ms. Anco, effective Aug. 16, during a June 29, special board meet- ing. “Carolyn brings a variety of qualifi- cations and experience which comple- ment our existing leadership team,” said Patricia Manson, the board’s director of education, in a press re- lease. Ms. Anco has been an educa- tor with the Toronto Catholic District School Board since 1981, during which time she’s worked as a secondary school teacher, program co-ordinator, vice-principal and principal of schools.

Trustees approve consultation process DURHAM — Public and stake- holder consultation processes will be established for board issues through a Durham Catholic District School Board policy. The consultation policy received its third and final reading during the board’s June 26 meeting and was cre- ated to provide framework for consult- ing the public and stakeholders. Under it, the director of educa- tion will issue and amend adminis- trative procedures to support the policy; consultation processes shall be established for policy development and implementation, the transfer of principals, budget and for other areas determined by the board: and input gathered through consultation will be considered in making decisions. Processes established may vary depending on the nature of the consul- tation.

What’s going on in your community? Just click here EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR We are the world Ajax and Pickering the ideal spot to welcome new citizens W ith broad smiles and flags in hand, Ajax and Pick- ering welcomed new citizens to the Canadian family last weekend at citizenship courts in both municipalities. It is only fitting that these events, memorable to both the newly-Canadian and veteran Canuck alike, take place here. After all, Ajax and Pickering are clearly the most multi- cultural and thus, one could argue, the most Canadian of towns and cities in Durham Region. A quick scan of the latest Statistics Canada information shows that roughly one in four residents of each commu- nity is a member of a visible minority, many of whom ar- rived in Canada from a far-off land. And, you can bet that this ratio will get a bit smaller when the numbers from the 2006 census are compiled and made public. Beyond that, many of our residents once called England or Scotland home, and many arrived here from the United States among many other countries. We are a remarkably global community here in Ajax and Pickering, so culturally deep. When the people of the world come to our communities, and make them their own, they bring skills, experiences, talents and more that make Ajax and Pickering better. So, given the cultural diversity here, it was a shame that in the past new citizens had to go elsewhere in Durham or to Toronto to mark this important moment in their lives. Ajax began the ceremonies three years ago and has since welcomed dozens of new Canadians. For Pickering, last weekend marked the City’s first ceremony. Surely, there isn’t a more pleasant duty performed by a judge than to formally welcome new citizens to our great country, a country that doesn’t ask them to abandon their traditions, but celebrates the uniqueness of the world’s people under the banner that is the Canadian flag. Canadian literary types have long asked questions such as, “What does it mean to be a Canadian?” It’s a tough one, and hard to put an answer into words. Perhaps a starting point is to say that Canadians are welcoming of newcom- ers, eager to learn where they came from and to make them feel at home. The good thing is that each successive gen- eration displays this quality even more, which bodes well for our future. Where’s our patriotism? To the Editor: It is July 1, Canada Day, early morning and I just got back from a drive in my neighbourhood. The only Canadian flag I spotted was a very small one on a garage. On my own street, besides myself, there are four other houses with flags. Yet every other car I see has a flag of the native country of the driver because of the World Cup. That is all fine and dandy that they feel patriotism for their native country, but where are their Canadian flags? Don’t they feel the same patriotism for this country that is giving them a good life? Yo u can bet this week in the US flags are flying every- where. Why don’t we have the same sense of pride and want to show it?

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 7, 2006 durhamregion.com W hen you are young and just graduating from school, it is easy to fall into the trap of the awful starter job: work that forces you to sacrifice visions of your dream career for a steady paycheque. Being of the mindset that young people can do great things, I am al- ways happy to hear stories of youth forgoing the comfort of steady work and becoming successful by following their entrepreneurial dreams. A few months ago, while researching a story on young entrepreneurs, I met Heather Frize -- a 28-year old Whitby native who opened up her own jew- elry-making business. I remember being impressed by her energy and optimism, knowing that it couldn’t be easy to make a living as a budding entrepreneur, especially in a business as fickle as selling your own designs. Then just this week, I got an e-mail that made me so excited for Heather. She was selling her hand-made de- signs at a stand in Toronto’s Distillery District when a woman, decked out in big sunglasses, came up to her and bought seven of her bracelets. One of the lady’s friends snapped a photo. Then Heather got an e-mail with the photo saying that the mystery buyer was Olivia Newton John. Not only was the starlet impressed with Heather’s designs, but she wore them in the photo shoot for the cover of her next CD. Heather’s story is the perfect exam- ple of what can happen when young, talented, and energetic people believe in themselves: they start to get no- ticed. Coming from a family of entrepre- neurs, I know that starting your own business is not an easy road to travel. It often requires working long hours for very little monetary compensation. But for a young person, entrepre- neurship offers a self-satisfaction that many starter jobs simply cannot. Even if the business fails, the skills learned and experiences acquired are more than enough to have made the venture worthwhile. Of course, entrepreneurship is not for everyone. But if you have a yearn- ing to be your own boss, don’t let something as silly as age stop you from following your dreams. Izabela Jaroszynski is a Metroland Durham Region Media Group reporter. E-mail ijaroszynski@durhamregion. com. Entrepreneurship is well worth the gamble when you’re young Izabela Ja roszynski staff writer Group overseeing health care in Durham DURHAM — The final three appointments have been made to the Central East Local Health Integra- tion Network (LHIN). Alexander Hukowich, William Gleed and Ron- ald Francis are the latest to be appointed to the Cen- tral East LHIN, which cov- ers all of Durham Region, Northumberland, Kawartha Lakes, Peterborough and Haliburton counties. Dr. Hukowich most re- cently served as the medical officer of health for the Mus- koka Parry Sound District Health Unit. Prior to that, he served in the same position for the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit and Porcupine Health Unit. He also had a medical practice in South Porcupine. Mr. Gleed was a senior ex- ecutive in the insurance in- dustry. He also served on the board of directors of Cana- dian Blood Services and was treasurer of the North York General Hospital board. Mr. Gleed was chairman of the fundraising committee of the Canadian Red Cross and was the first chairman of the Palliative Care Foundation of Canada. Mr. Francis is a full-time professor in the School of Accounting and Finance at Seneca College, and a part- time lecturer in profession- al accounting programs at Yo rk, Ryerson and Toronto universities. He’s a board member of the North York General, North York Branson Hospital, Kingsway College and Toronto Junior Board of Trade. Other board members of the Central East LHIN are chairman Foster Loucks, vice-chairwoman Joseline Sikorski, Jean Achmatow- icz MacLeod, Eva Nichols, Novina Wong and Stephen Ky lie.

Andrew Lyons, executor of the late Kerry Ernest Willoughby’s es- tate, announced a $1.1-million do- nation to Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Te chnology (UOIT) during a June 22 reception. The money creates the Marjorie Elizabeth Willoughby Award and was matched by the Ontario Students Trust for Support II for a total of $2.2 million. “I think (Mr. Willoughby would) have been happy with the way it worked out,” said Mr. Lyons, who made the donation in accordance with Mr. Willoughby’s wishes to honour his late wife. “Marjorie was a single mother and had gone back to school to upgrade her education,” said Mr. Lyons. He added because she did, she got a job working for Mr. Wil- loughby, they eventually became an item and were married. “For Marjorie, he wanted to have a bursary for a single parent,” said Mr. Lyons. Having the donation go to an Os- hawa college and university would have been very pleasing to Mr. Wil- loughby, said Mr. Lyons, who was also a friend of Mr. Willoughby’s. “Kerry was an Oshawa boy; he was born and raised here,” said Mr. Ly ons. He said Mr. Willoughby was a hard worker who started with very little and managed to make himself a fair estate. He began his career as an insurance adjuster for Walker and Associates, worked his way up and bought out the Ajax portion of the business. The donation his estate has pro- vided allows for nine awards worth $6,500 each for UOIT students and 13 awards for Durham College stu- dents worth $3,000 each per year. The bursaries are renewable for the duration of their program, pro- vided they maintain a minimum average of 75 per cent. While the award is open to any student in need of assistance and meeting grade targets, being a single parent will be considered in the decision process. Shivon Scott is one of this year’s recipients. “It was unbelievable to know there are people out there willing to do this,” said Ms. Scott, a nursing student at UOIT. “It changes your perspective on the world because there are kind people willing to support you in your academic en- deavours.” Ms. Scott said she is the only pro- vider for her three children and the bursary helps remove the financial barrier of attending post-second- ary school. “Once I pay for my tuition, I hardly have money to eat, so this helps,” she said. Ms. Scott said this is her first year in the nursing program, which she is taking to upgrade her career. “I’m more confident I will be a nurse in three years,” she said. By having her tuition covered, she won’t have to work and worry about failing, she said. She’ll also be able to spend more time with her children. Big donation for Durham post-secondary schools Photo courtesy Ian Goodall Family members of the late Marjorie Elizabeth Willoughby joined recipients of a new award created in her honour. A $1.1-million donation from the estate of her husband, the late Kerry Willoughby, was made to the University of Ontario Institute of Technology and will assist qualified students, particularly single parents, with their education costs.

Catholic board approves Best Start for schools Tenders approved for child-care centre DURHAM — With tenders ap- proved, the Durham Catholic District School Board is closer to expanding child-care spaces in Uxbridge, Whitby and Scugog. During its June 26 meeting, the board approved contracts for Best Start Childcare Projects at St. Joseph Catholic School in Uxbridge, Father Leo J. Austin in Whitby and Good Shepherd in Port Perry. Over the last nine months, staff at the board have been working with the Region of Durham on the expansion of child-care spaces as part of the Best Start program in school locations, says a staff report. The agreement with the Region stipulated that the projects be completed and utilized by September 2006. The work at St. Joseph was award- ed to J.J. McGuire General Contrac- tors Inc. for $268,000; Austin’s work went to Seaforth Building Group for $61,882; and at Good Shepherd, Seaforth received the contract for $420,928. All three tenders excluded GST and are subject to the issuance of a building permit and approval of the tendered amount by the Region. School recognizes business admin and creative arts and design graduates DURHAM — Two businessmen and a communications official have the same thing in common -- they’re this year’s Durham Col- lege alumni of distinction. Recognized during the college’s spring convocation June 16, Ian Ball, Jeffrey Boyce and Sheila Cor- riveau earned the 2006 title, which pays tribute to graduates who have excelled in their careers and contributed to the development of the college or community. Mr. Ball, a 2002 graduate of Durham’s business administration and marketing program, has had great success since graduation. In addition to obtaining his bachelor of commerce degree from Ryerson U niversity, he became the head of investor relations at G oldcorp Inc., played a critical role in the creation of McEwan Capital, and completed a number of corporate mergers and acquisitions. At age 23, Mr. Ball was also one of Canada’s y oungest v ice-presi- dents of a publicly traded company. Recently, he was ap- pointed v ice-presi- dent of cor- porate de- v elopment with Lexam E xplora- tions. He has contin- ued to sup- port Durham College annually through its scholarship and bur- sary program. A 1988 graduate from the cre- ative arts and design program in public relations, Ms. Corriveau has held a number of senior posi- tions in the public relations sector and was just appointed to a global leadership position with Porter Novelli as partner and global net- work director. She has also been recognized as public relations professional of the year at the 2005 Ace Awards. Ms. Corriveau maintains her com- mitment to the public relations sector and Durham College by consistently working to support students and recent graduates. Mr. Boyce graduated from the business administration program in 1980 with a marketing focus. He is the co-founder of Vermilion Resources and led the company to success both domestically and overseas, before founding Clear Energy Inc. -- a publicly traded corporation in the oil and gas sec- tor with a value of $250 million. He’s also been an active volunteer with the United Way as well as various community associations and minor league sports organiza- tions. In 2004, he was recognized by Ernst and Young as the 2004 Entrepreneur of the Year.

Currently the Region op- erates three sexual health clinics, offering services such as sexually transmitted infec- tion tests, birth control and counselling. They are in the Oshawa and Pickering Town centres and on Campbell Drive in Uxbridge, but the lat- ter has been operating under substandard conditions forc- ing a move. “There are issues with the building for three or four years which staff tried to have addressed to no avail,” said Pat Perkins, Durham’s health and social services commit- tee chairwoman. “The defi- ciencies were the major rea- son for the move.” The location in Uxbridge was not built as a clinic but as offices, of which a portion is being used as a makeshift examination and counselling area. “This is primarily young women going in for medi- cal examinations,” Coun. Perkins said. “There is some dignity required here. They shouldn’t be in substandard conditions. I wouldn’t go to a doctor in those conditions and I wouldn’t expect young people to.” The Region investigated a number of potential sites in Uxbridge and Port Perry and settled on leasing new space for a clinic on Perry Street in Port Perry. The Port Perry location will have two counselling rooms and two examination rooms, a separate waiting room and a private washroom. The Region’s director of public health nursing and nutrition, Jean Nesbitt, said the Port Perry location bet- ter meets the clinic’s require- ments and better suits the needs of clients. In addition, Ms. Nesbitt said she feels the location of the Uxbridge clinic and the fact that it is located in close proximity to other doctors deters youth from attending. “We think the Port Perry location has advantages like the proximity to the school,” she said. Therefore, Ms. Nesbitt said, the clinic would be more ac- cessible to students who want to visit. Despite active promo- tion, Ms. Nesbitt said there have been merely 319 visits to the clinic in the last year, roughly one client per hour of operation. She said this is well below the numbers seen at the other two clinics, ac- cessed by thousands. “The need in the north is very much there,” Ms. Nesbitt said. “Students just aren’t ac- cessing it.” Public transit does oper- ate from Brock to Uxbridge, but not from Brock to Port Perry, so Brock Mayor Keith Shier questioned what the move would mean for his residents. “Transportation worries me as well,” Regional Chair- man Roger Anderson said. “It is something we will have to work on with transit.” Committee approved a lease agreement in Port Perry beginning in October, how- ever, Durham council must approve the decision.

The federal government plans to raise the legal age of consent from 14 to 16. The proposed bill was prom- ised by the Conservative government when it took power in February, and legislation was recently introduced. Glendene Collins, spokeswoman for Durham Re- gion health, was not aware of the proposed change. “The age of consent (for sex) doesn’t have anything to do with the age of consent to (receive) ser- vices,” she said. She added that an individual under the legal age can still go to a clinic for treatment and advice, noting, “We cannot deny services. “(But) we make every effort to en- courage to involve an adult when making these decisions.” She noted nurses are obligated to report immediately if someone under the legal age volunteers information that they have been a victim of sexual assault, or has had sex with an adult. “That’s a criminal offense,” said Ms. Collins, adding Children’s Aid Soci- ety is contacted in these cases. But it won’t be reported, she said, “If they are 12 or 13 and having sex with an- other 12 or 13 year old. “(We provide) the capacity to un- derstand... It’s about educating and treating.” Gord Baxter, Uxbridge’s school trustee, also said he was not aware of the proposed change to age of consent. But if it is raised, he said local schools will wait for “direction from provincial or federal govern- ment once the legislation is passed... about what it means to students.” He said students in elementary schools, as well as secondary schools, will then receive information through health and physical education pro- grams, of which sex education is an element. The Region runs three sexual health clinics, one each in Oshawa and Pickering, and another in Ux- bridge that a regional committee has recommended by moved to Port Perr y.

Instead, the Blackstock egg farmer has moved on to a more interesting and timely question, he hopes to solve for everyone: Where, exactly, did that egg on your plate come from? While not a query that most people spend a lot of time on, Mr. Lind, in partnership with William Little, hatched a plan about a year ago to develop a system that would allow anyone, anywhere in Canada, to pick up an egg and determine its exact origin. Again, not something a lot of people would lose sleep over, but an idea that may not be of great importance in the future when considering avian influenza and agri-terrorism are nearing our nation’s doorstep. The focus of the system, ex- plains Mr. Little, a marketing con- sultant for Mr. Lind and owner of Corporate Marketing and Moti- vation in Oshawa, is to provide an accurate and easy system to trace an egg back to the farm, and even the barn it came from. Simplistic in its approach, the system -- dubbed ‘Eggsactrace’ by its creators -- stamps a code on the top of each egg at the farm level which easily allows the con- sumer, retailer or government agencies to quickly determine its exact origin by visiting www.egg- sactrace.com. As part of the code, which is printed in a patented food-grade ink that will not wash or boil off, those interested can determine: the type of egg (organic, free range or barn cage); the coun- try it came from; the producer, and even the barn. As well, the code includes information on the farm’s Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) program, which is an interna- tionally recognized food safety system that is used to help en- sure the manufacture of safe food products. And, for even greater detail, the code may include the exact day the egg was laid, using ‘Julian Date’ coding to determine ‘best before’ dates. Additionally, a stamp on the side of the egg, applied at a fed- eral grading station, would also denote the station number, ‘best before’ date and, in some cases, the type of egg. “It’s a very, very unique sys- tem. It provides true traceabil- ity,” says Mr. Little, noting that if an egg leaves its farm of origin without any sort of identifier it is very difficult, if not impossible, to track back to its roots. “You have eggs at a farm, they’re shipped in trays on skids that are unmarked and then they’re off to the grader and sorted -- small, medium, large, extra-large, Omega, organic.... -- so how do you know where they came from,” asks Mr. Little. “You don’t.” If, or when, avian influenza lands on Canadian soil, the old system spells doom for the na- tion’s egg producers, Mr. Little points out. With Eggsactrace the disease could be identified in a certain batch of eggs, the coding would allow officials to trace the eggs back to a certain farm, sav- ing retailers from pulling their entire supply from shelves and the unnecessary culling of thou- sands of birds which could pos- sibly cripple a producer. “We could have full traceabil- ity under any emergency situa- tion,” says Mr. Little. As an added bonus for con- sumers, the coding assures buy- ers that they’re actually getting what they’re paying for, such as Omega eggs that are gener- ally more expensive then regular ones. Currently, Mr. Lind’s Edgerton Road facility -- Sweda Farms, which produces the ‘Best Choice’ brand of eggs -- is the only pro- ducer to stamp the eggs with such specific details. His site also serves as a federal grading sta- tion, one of the few facilities in the province where eggs are pro- duced and graded in the same place. Both Mr. Lind and Mr. Little are hopeful that their idea will catch on across the country. To date, they’ve sent out correspon- dence to each province’s premier, agriculture and health ministers, as well as to the Prime Minister’s Office and other federal officials. Those who replied provided en- couraging and positive remarks, says Mr. Little. Both men are fairly confident that the coding system will be implemented sometime in the future. “We feel that ultimately the de- cision for this will likely be driven by the consumer for protection purposes,” says Mr. Little. “Rather than ask for the legislation to be pushed through, we’d like to see all parties recognize the poten- tial here for public safety and for them to put it in place without a long process of legislation. “We think that it makes so much sense that common sense will prevail.” Hatching a plan to trace eggs Celia Klemenz / News Advertiser photo Bill Little, left, and Svante Lind, are the creators of EggsacTrace, a system to trace the route of an egg from a farm to the consumer. > rbcrewards.com Reward yourself. ®Registered trademark of Royal Bank of Canada. > rbcrewards.com Reward yourself. ®Registered trademark of Royal Bank of Canada. THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 7, 2006 PAGE 19 A/Pdurhamregion.com Three defibrillators donated to police marine unit to end sudden cardiac arrest on the waters By David Blumenfeld Staff Writer DURHAM — Boaters in Dur- ham, Scugog and Simcoe are somewhat safer now thanks to three public access defibrillators (PAD) donated to Durham Re- gion Police’s marine unit by the Mikey Network. The Mikey Network, named in honour of Mike Salem, works to create public awareness and education about heart healthy lifestyles. Founded by Health- wood Homes and the Heron Group, the Network is commit- ted to placing as many “Mikeys,” or defibrillators, in public places as possible. On June 23, the Mikey Network donated three defibrillators at a presentation at the Whitby Ma- rina for use by Durham police’s three patrol vessels, which guard Lake Ontario, Lake Scugog and parts of Lake Simcoe. Its slogan: Let the Beat Go On. “Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere at any time. It doesn’t discrimi- nate,” said Morty Henkle, the Network’s executive director, also a cousin to Mr. Salem, who died of sudden cardiac arrest in 2002 while playing golf in Mus- koka. “There was no defibrillator available; he passed away,” Mr. Henkle said. “We honestly hope that the defibrillators that we donate never get used, but in case of an emergency, we’re glad they’re there.” The Mikey Network works largely off public donations to fund the defibrillators, which cost $3,500 per unit. Mike DeLisle, a constable with Durham police’s marine unit, also lost a friend to a heart at- tack last November while play- ing arena hockey. After the in- cident, he said he went looking to acquire a PAD for the arena, and that the Mikey Network re- sponded. It also went one step further by donating three to Dur- ham police’s marine unit. “What a better place to have them then on a vessel,” Const. DeLisle said. “When we’re out for 10, 12 hours a day, we some- times don’t have time to (spare to) come back in. It’s valuable time that’s wasted on someone that needs our help. It can only help. I hope we never have to use them... but in the event we do... the citizens have a better chance if they’re out on the water.” Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle noted the remarkable nature of the Network to “dig deep” and raise money to provide PADs in the community. “These things will save lives, there’s no question about that,” he said. “That kind of a corpo- rate sponsorship of these kind of programs really speaks well to that organization. I hope it would encourage other organi- zations to do the same thing.” Meanwhile, Mark Longo, a fourth year architecture student from the University of Waterloo, is more than halfway through a trans-Canada solo bike trip to raise money for the Network. He began his journey in Brit- ish Columbia on May 1, pass- ing through the Ajax-Pickering- Whitby-Oshawa areas on June 21, and expects to end his trip in Newfoundland in mid-July. Mr. Henkle said his cousin would be glad to see the positive steps being taken by the organi- zation and others. “Mikey was a jovial guy. He wouldn’t like all the attention, but I guess in the end, he would be happy we are trying to raise funds to save lives,” he said.

Part of the Summer Reading Club — A Program of the Public Libraries of Ontario Happy kids greet national program’s Radio Park initiative By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — When Penny Contreras took her seven- year-old grandson to the newly constructed playground at Radio Park in Oshawa she was overwhelmed. “There were all of these kids there,” Ms. Contreras said. “Seeing those kids in the park, it was just so needed.” Ms. Contreras is the co-ordi- nator of the Let Them Be Kids initiative which facilitated the building of a brand new play area at Radio Park. The three-day LTBK event, held in June, brought with it a series of seminars, a business leaders’ breakfast and a com- munity rally, culminating in more than 500 people pulling together on June 10 to build the playground. “The seminars were not as well attended as we hoped,” Ms. Contreras said. “But what came out of them was really, really positive.” The build began at 8 a.m. and, according to Ms. Contre- ras, all was said and done by 2 p.m. “Things just progressed at a really great pace,” she said. Ms. Contreras is confident that during the course of the weekend people began to un- derstand that the event wasn’t as much about building the park as it was about making a change in the community. Radio Park was chosen from more than 80 communities across Canada as the launch site of Let Them Be Kids Can- ada, a nation-wide program that helps communities build playgrounds in areas of need. Durham is the first of seven communities selected for the 2006 LTBK program. The five co-ordinating partners in the project were Durham’s social services de- partment, the City of Oshawa, Durham Regional Police, Dur- ham Community Foundation and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. “This really was different parts of the community com- ing together to make some- thing happen,” Ms. Contreras said. life • style • solutions OSHAWA 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 905-723-4561 Hours: Mon.• Tues.• Wed. 10-6, Thurs.• Fri. 10-9, Sat. 10-6, Sun.11-5 www.sklargallery.com Exceptional Warranty Superior Construction Fast Delivery Durham’s Newest & Largest Sklar Peppler Furnishings Store!

As the major source of news, sports and community events, Metroland Durham Region Media Group, which includes Oshawa This Week, uses video and news- papers to deliver important news and information to more than 500,000 residents across Durham Region. In June, Metroland was hon- oured with a Fire Safety Partner Award at a ceremony hosted by the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council. The annual awards rec- ognize out- standing contribu- tions to fire protection and preven- tion in On- tario. “Metroland is a dedicat- ed partner in prevent- ing fire and serious injury in Durham Region,” Fire Marshal Bernard Moyle said. “Time and again, Metroland has proactively provided essential support and assistance toward ad- vancing fire and life safety educa- tion in the community.” A valuable community partner, Metroland Durham Region Media Group has provided ongoing support to Oshawa Fire Services through the production of nu- merous public service announce- ments and articles related to com- munity fire safety events, the latest smoke alarm requirements and the importance of changing smoke alarm batteries. It also donated to the publishing of 12,000 Captain Squirt fire safety adventure books to the fire department’s school fire safety education program every two years, and contributed finan- cially toward the purchase of a large, inflatable firefighter used at community events. Eddie Kolodziejczak, Metroland classified advertising manager, said the media group is very hon- oured to be chosen as the recipient of such a highly regarded award. “Our newspaper has made a consistent effort over the past sev- eral years to support fire safety by running special features such as colouring contest pages, the printing of our Captain Squirt Fire Safety Adventure Book, which is distributed free of charge to local fire departments... as well as sev- eral other projects aimed at fire safety education,” Mr. Kolodziejc- zak said. “We plan to continue these ef- forts to educate our readers and to help their children understand basic fire safety rules in order to make our community a safer place to live.” Metroland Durham Region Media Group a leader in fire safety Eddie Kolodziejczak .EEDTORENTYOURPLACEFAST 4HENYOUNEEDA -ARKETPLACE &EATURE!D 7ITHA&EATUREDADYOUWILL s#ONNECTWITH8MORERENTERS s%MPHASIZEKEYFEATURESWITHPHOTOS s'RABATTENTIONWITHANADHIGHLIGHT /NLY  PERMONTH 'ET9OURS4ODAY -ARKETPLACE&OR2ENT ECNEREFE2KCIU1!RUO9F/LL!DNI&O4sU"LACO,ESSENISS MMO#sYTINU NOITAZINAGR/S EMNREVO'sTN sSNOITCARTT!LACO,IU'UNE-WE.LL!sED U0ENU*DEHSILB ENU*DEHSILBU0SSENISU"GNIREKCI0 SSENISU"GNIREKCI0ROTCERI$YTINUMMO#YI$YTINUMMO#YROTCER "KOO"KOO0 ENOH0 ENOH TB8 $MMFE UOF FS -FWJUBWPOO*SPG SBF HOJO OBOFSEMJIDFSFIXFDBMQBTJ ZE OBDIUVP GSJFIUPUOSBFMUPQMMVMBJUOF-HOJEBF FHEF JUBDVEFUMBOP PUEFTVFSBTFJHPMPOIDFEFEOBQYFQPMFWFELT ZUJMJCBQBD EOBMMJ FHEFMXPOLUTJUOFEVUTIDB&EFUTF EOB TJOBMQOPJUBDVEFMBOPTSFQB EFOHJTFEUOFNFMQNJEOB FI5EF SQMBOPJUBDVEFMMBSFWP TFTTFDP FSB PUEFSBFH UTUOFEVUTXPMMB BP FSJVRD UTBNEOB UEOBFHEFMXPOLZFLSF P QPMFWFE HOPSUT LOJIUMBDJUJSD HOJ TMMJLT FEVUJUUBEOB TVFCMMJXUBIUT MVGF XFSVUVGSJFIUOJNFIUPU LSP FDBMQ FI5 CPWJUDFK IDTSVPGPFFWBIPUTJMPP SUTB DBQNJHOJUTBMHOPMEOBHOP U WFEDJUTJMPIFIUOP UOFNQPMF FIUGP V0SFOSBFM UTJNJBS DPFUBFSTUOFEVUT SBUBIU MMBJDPT ZMMBDJNFEBDBHOPSUTF  Z ZIQ ZMMBSPNEOBZMMBDJT F8TTFSEEB BOJIUJXTEFFOMBOPTSFQ NSBXZMOBNVIMMFETB8HOJUUFTMBOPJUBDVEFFGBTEOB FSUOF$WJUBWPOO*SPG-FWJSQBTJHOJOSBF FUB TEFFOMBVEJWJEOJHOJTTFSEEBMPPIDT 7ASDELLS )NTERNATIONALMEDAC!Y MÏDAC!,IE)NTERNATIONAL DE7ASDELL SA7 ONN)ROFERTNE#LLED TAV CN)GNINRAE,EVI R#SGNI+TNECSE ENOH0 XAJ!

Literally. Unlike most plays, this unconven- tional mystery takes place outdoors, with the actors walking around the audience. ‘Whodunit?: Lights, Cam- era, Murder!’ is broken up into three scripted scenes with the rest of the play improvised. Members of the audience receive a note pad and play the role of extras in the production. “This play is great for audience par- ticipation,” says 56-year-old John Ed- monds, president of Backwoods. He plays Stuart Prescott Hyde, a di- rector in the play. “I get to boss people around, what’s not to love?” he says. The actors are all “each weirder than the other,” says play director Barbara Pleva of Pickering. The play was written by Partners in Crime Inc., which consists of Katrina Pyke, Kim Ralph, and Joe Mahoney. The interactive murder mystery opens Saturday, July 8. It’s set in 1923, in a remote ghost town in northern California on the set of a silent western movie. This play is a “stickler for ac- curacy,” says Pleva, right down to the replica of a 1923 movie camera. Each of the actors reveals key hints while conversing amongst themselves and it’s up to members of the audience to put the pieces together. Following the final scene, everyone makes their way to the chapel, where the actors get thoroughly interrogated by audience members. The production consists of several veteran actors who have participated in various Whodunit productions over the past six years. They range in age from their “early 20 to the dark side of 50s,” says Pleva. “It’s great for anyone who likes a mystery or likes to get involved,” says Edmonds. “It’s a wonderful recipe for a great evening out, from live entertain- ment, a delectable dinner with wine and interactive fun the whole family can enjoy.” A tax receipt will be issued for a portion of the ticket price, with part of the proceeds going towards the Pickering Museum Village Founda- tion’s Brougham Central Hotel restora- tion project. The play starts at 5:30 p.m. Since there is no use of artificial lighting, and it is set outdoors, the show wraps up by about 8:30 p.m. ‘Whodunit?: Lights, Camera, Murder!’ is at the village July 8, 9, 15 and 16. It is located at 2365 Concession Road 6. Reservations are required in advance. Ticket prices are $45 and in- clude dinner with wine.

Koonstra hangs her work in cyberspace DURHAM — The Durham West Arts Centre’s latest Cyber Gallery artist is Uxbridge resident Hanneke Koonstra. “Hanneke is the third artist DWAC has featured on the web gallery page and we are delighted to showcase her talent and vibrant watercolour im- ages,” says Angie Littlefield, DWAC executive director. Koonstra came to Canada as a young girl from the Netherlands and images of return trips are featured in her art as well as her travels around Canada and the U.S. Art has always been an important part of her life. As an elementary school teacher for more than 20 years, she instilled an appreciation for the arts in her stu- dents, encouraging them to develop their own talents. “I work mainly in watercolours as I like their unpredictability,” says Koon- stra. “I can plan my subject matter but there is always that element of surprise -- especially when painting a sky.” A sample of her work and more information about Koonstra can be seen on the DWAC Cyber Gallery page, dwac.ca/cyberGallery/Han- nekeKoonstra/HannakeKoonstra. html. Koonstra is a member of PineRidge Arts Council, Ajax Creative Arts, Os- hawa Art Association and participates in many art shows and festivals, in- cluding the Cobourg Water Festival; Art in the Park, Markham; OPG; and Art in the Park, Uxbridge. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 26 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 7, 2006 Under-19 women’s rugby team dominates against Toronto squad, overcomes barriers to victory PICKERING — The Pickering Legionnaires under-19 women’s rugby team made its season debut a resounding success against the To ronto Lions in Toronto Rugby Union play at Dunbarton High School Wednesday night. Playing the Lions in the TRU opener, the Legionnaires made a strong statement with a decisive 43-5 victory, despite missing seven players to work schedules and other commitments. And, some players filled posi- tions in which they had only prac- tised a few times. The Legionnaires’ scoring pa- rade started only moments into the game when outside center Lindsay Hill, of Ajax High School, received a quick pass from Jessica Tobin, of Sudbury’s Laurentian University, and ran almost 45 yards to mark the Legionnaires first of seven tries. To bin, with only two months of playing experience under her belt from last year, was also useful by scoring four conversions that added eight points to the Pickering tally sheet. Hill, with the help of Chleo Stroud of Dunbarton High School, ran easily around the Lions de- fence and, when needed, directly through it. “As a new player to the sport last year, she has really picked up the game and has developed a strong ability to create gaps in the defence and to exploit them,” said an im- pressed Legionnaires head coach James Blair. He added many of Hill’s runs were supported by Pine Ridge’s Kristy Munsie and Dunbarton’s Sharmaine Hinton on the wing. Pickering easily controlled every aspect of the set piece play. Line-outs proved to be one of the Lions’ weakest areas. This weak- ness was spotted and exploited by Pine Ridge’s Jordon Budway, who pillaged numerous balls that were intended for the Lions within their own end of the field. Pine Ridge’s Jessica Marineau, also a line out jumper and a new member of the Legionnaires this year, fit in well for her first game for the club. Budway picked the ball off a Pickering scrum and ran 35 yards to mark the Legionnaires’ third try of the evening. Dunbarton’s Tara Lee Rowsell, who celebrated her 19th birthday on game day, played a great game for the Legionnaires, securing many balls in the scrum intended for the Lions. Dunbarton’s Sydnie Campbell scored the Legionnaires’ fourth try. Campbell, with the help of Le- gionnaires scrum-half Kelly Rap- son, who created a lot of pressure while on the Lions’ five-metre line, blocked a kick which was quickly picked up and marked in the Lions’ touch and goal area by Campbell who was playing there in support. Not to be denied a scoring op- portunity, Rapson, who attends the University of Toronto, scored Pickering’s seventh try of the eve- ning when Stroud fought her way almost into the Lions’ touch and goal area and was taken down by a nice tackle. Stroud placed the ball for Pickering to ruck over on about the Lions’ five-metre line, where Rapson faked a quick pass to the back and scampered in to mark Pickering last try of the evening. The Legionnaires train on Mon- day evenings at Dunbarton High School with games every Wednes- day during July and August.

Pickering Legionnaires tame Lions in opener Calway lowers boom on Leafs Slugger leads Dodgers to rare win over Spoljaric, Leafs By Brian McNair Staff Editor DURHAM — Ken Calway is just happy Paul Spoljaric didn’t get mad -- and the Toronto Maple Leafs didn’t get even. The Oshawa Dodgers’ slugger had a career night at the plate, with four hits off Spoljaric and five all told, as the Dodgers posted arguably the biggest win in club history, 9-8 over the first-place To- ronto Maple Leafs at Christie Pits. It was the first loss against six wins for Spoljaric, a former major leaguer, and the first time this sea- son the Maple Leafs lost in the friendly confines of Christie Pits. “It’s tough when you face Paul Spoljaric, he’s a living legend,” says Calway, a 29-year-old Whitby na- tive now living in Toronto. “You just hope to make contact and he doesn’t get mad at you and hit you in the back.” Made contact he did, swatting a two-run home run, four singles and delivering three RBIs in the game. But it was a true team effort, with all nine Oshawa players get- ting at least one hit and two in- credible defensive plays late in the game preserving victory. “It was one of the most exciting games I’ve been a part of,” says Calway, who has been with the Dodgers since their inaugural sea- son in 2002. The Dodgers, who improved their Intercounty Baseball League record to 11-18 with their third straight win, won for the first time in team history at Christie Pits and knocked the Maple Leafs out of first place. It was also the first time a Dodg- er has ever gone five-for-five in a game and the first time Spoljaric has allowed four hits to one batter in an Intercounty game. “If we can keep this streak going, we might be able to make some noise in the playoffs,” says Calway. “If we can beat Spoljaric, why not anyone?” Summer 426 Simcoe St. S. • Oshawa • L1H 4J6 • 905-432-7167 B r i n g i n t h i s c o u p o n a n d r e c e i v e 10% off o n B B Q P a r t s Expires May 15, 2005 Truck Load Event, Scratch & Dent!
